charged with disorderly conduct and
the latter with being drunk and dis
orderly. ,
Tho two young men. It seems, are
charged with taking possession of a
Decatur car In Fair street, near Grant,
about 9:15 o'clock Tuesday night. The
story of a passenger In the car fol
lows:
“I paid no especial attention to the
men until the disturbance began. Brine
was sitting about three seats In front
of Mr. Morris. The conductor, on
noticing some disorder, asked Morris
about It, and Morris referred him to
Brine.
"When Brine was asked, he began
rebuking the conductor, and raised
Cain In general. The car was stopped.
About ten ladles were on the car, arid
they fled. The conductor went Into a
nearby drug store to call for a police
man. The motorman came back to
take a hand, but he soon joined the
conductor.
"The two men started to leave, but
the men who had been on the car and
who hod witnessed the proceeding sur.
rounded and held them until the police
arrived. Brine reminded the conduc
tor that he was the brother of an of
ficial of the company, but the conduc
tor held his own." •
The young man who told this story
has been summoned to appear In po
lice court to testify fn the trial Wed
nesday afternoon. Brine gave col
lateral of 810.75 and Morris of 816.75,
and both were freed Immediately after
their arrest.

Under the present conditions, should

avenues by which a fire company from
the section east of tha railways men

These are Jones avenue, the Magnolia

Raleigh, N. C„ Aug. 28.—In the state
supreme court this morning. Colonel
W. B. Rodman, attorney for the
Southern Railway, made a motion to

alty suit. Ex-Governor Ayooek, on
behalf of tha state, made a motion to

It can be heard at an early date. Both
motions will be heard tomorrow morn

Attorneys for the state say that the
transcript as sent up Is complete and
there Is no occasion for nuch motion
by tbe Southern's attorneys.
limits of the city. Thus It happens
when a fire company from the Alabama
street station, the Peters street station,
or the station near Thurmond and Ma
rietta streets, Is called upon to respond
to a fire In the extreme western eectlon
of the city, it would necessitate a run
of about one and one-half miles on a
straight line, but when the winding
streets are taken into'conslderatlon the
run Is almost doubled In length.
The accompanying map, which was
made by Civil Enflneer O. F. Kauff
man. and which was furnished Tho
Georgian by W. P. Walthall by per-
mlaaton of Mr. Kauffman, shows the lo
cation of the present fire companies
and also shows the extent of the ter
ritory which Is now almost without
protection from fire.
In speaking of the necessity for In
creased protection from fire for the
western section, Forrest Adair said:
"This section of the city west from
the Western and Atlantic railroad and
the Southern railroad Is practically at
the mercy of the flames. Should a fire
originate In that section of the city and
:aln any headway. It would sweep a
■st area before a fire company could
reach it.
Thlokly Populated.
“The western section Is one of the
oldest sections of the city, and tt ts very
thickly populated. It seems strange to
me that no fire companies have yet
been located there, and I am surprised
that the members of council from the
First and Fifth wards have not men
tioned the matter to the city authori
ties. A large portion of the western
section Is occupied by factories, and It
seems that they should certainly have
>)e protection In case of a fire,
h my opinion, two additional com
panies, located on the west side, would
afford all the protection that ia needed.

If one was located near Gray or Ken

Work on-tbe new (Ire engine house on
North avenue, In .the northern section
of the city, has alreadjr begun, and
when It Is finished a large portion of
the city which has been as far re

The building will cost about 818,000,
and will be finished about January 1.
