AGAINST THE CITY.
The Coast Line Railroad Granted
an Injunction.
Judge Emory Speer yesterday gave his
decision in the injunction case of the
Coast Line Railroad Compauy against
the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah.
The caso arose out of the refusal of tho
railroad company to pay for paving three
feet on either side of its ftack on Brough
ton street with asphalt.
In March, 1888, the City Council passed
an ordinance requiring tne railroad com
pany to pave not only between its rails
on Broughton street west of Abercorn,
but also lor a yard on both the north and
south sides of the track. It was es
timated that the company’s share
for suoh paving without its traok
amounted to $3,085 50. When payment
was refused the Cit 7 Marshal was in
structed to advertise ttie company’s prop
erty on Broughton street, west ot Aber
com, lor sale. A bill to restrain the sale
wus filed in the United States Circuit
Court and was argued recently.
In 1873, four years alter the incorpora
tion ol the compauy, the City Council
adopted an ordinance indicating the route
of tne railroad, and stating that “in tbe
event o! the paving by tne city of the
whole or any portion of the streets used
by lhe said railroad company, the portion
of the track between the rails snail be
paved or kept in good order and thorough
repair by the company at its own expenso
and cost.”
Subsequently, in 1885, the Legislature of
Georgia authorized tne city to pave its
streets, with the power to assess two
thirds of the cost on the real estate abut
ting on the streets improved, provided
“that auv street railway company hav
ing tracks running through the streets of
said city shall he required to macadamize
or otherwise pave, as the said Mayor und
Aldermei\ oi the city of (Savanuuh may
direct, the width of its tracks, amt tinea
leet on each side of every line of track
now in use, or that may hereafter be con
structed by such company.” ,
Mr. Atkins, counsel for the complain
ant, argued that the act of Sept 6, 1885,
was an impairment oi the obligation of
the contract between the company and
theeiky, and it was, therefore, contrary
to the constitution of tbe United States.
Judge Speer sustained the point, stating
tdat .“upon a review of every authority
• cited by counsel for defendant to support
the interference of the Legislature, it will
be found that each cuse depends upon spe
cial circumstances, in view of which the
sovereignty of the State can be properly
exercised. But there is no warrant found
for an act which deliberately revokes a
valid contract between a private corpo
ration and a third party where rights are
vested.
“This the act of Sept. 5, 1885, seeks to do,
and it is lor that reason held invalid, so
far as it attempts to authorize the Mayor
auu Aldermen ol the city of Savannah to
compel the complainants to pave three
feet on each side ot their track, or other
wise than is stipulated in the ordinance
of Sept. 29, 1873, expressing the contract
between the city and the Coast Line Rail
way Compauy. 1 hold, therefore, that
the complainants, upon the allegations
of their bill, are entitled to the injunction
they seek, and the demurrer isoverruled.”
THE NAVAL STORES MEN.
Tho Producers Association and the
Standard OH Company.
Tbe Naval Stores Manufacturers’ Pro
tective Association has just Issued an
other circular to the producers. The cir
cular states that silica the one of Jan. 7
was issued two circumstances have oc
curred which require official notice from
the association. One circumstance is the
notice given bv the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company that it
would in future enlorce the “L. C. L.
rate” on less than car loud lots of spirits
turpentine. The rate referred to is
three or tour times as great
as on carload lots. It has been
charged, says the circular, that ihe
association was responsible for the order,
because the association obtained a 20 per
cent, reduction on rosin freights. All re
sponsibility for tbe order is denied, and
the statement is made that tjie "L. C. L.
late” was suspended before freight was
collected on a single shipmeot.
The second matter which the associa
tion deems requires notice from it is in
reference to toe organization’s connec
tion with the Standard Oil Company.
Tbe charges to that effect made by two
prominent naval stores factors in inter
views published by the Morning News
are pronounced untrue, unfounded and
absurd. Produoers are warned against
cutting too many boxes and thereby
causing an overproduction of spirits and
rosin. An allusion is made to horning,
and it is staled that the association lias
resolved to break up the nefarious prac
tice.

About 10 o'clock last night a white

ner by a rough looking man in front of
tho Pulaski House. Mr. Allan was ac
companied by a colored boy who said that
he was directing Allan to tho Screven

several apparent attempts m
get the boy away, but did
not succeed. Policeman Kelly
came up about that time and took charge
of Allan, whom he conducted to a hotel.
Then he went after the other man and
soon had him in tbe barracks. Tbe party

THE ORDINARY’S FEES.
Extract, From the Grand Jury's De
cember Presentment.
The following Is an extract from the
presentment of the grand jury of the De
cember term, made last week, in matter
ol the fees of tho Ordinary. It will be
seen that the grand jurors for this term
differ in their opinion in regard to this
matter from their predecessors:
“We have also examined the books oi
the Ordinary of Chatham county and in
vestigated the question as to whether the
special fee bill allowed was excessive.
We find that the books of the office are
kept in tbe most complete manner, und
that tbe neatness and exactness of tbe
clerical labor is unusually good. We find
tho system for ready reference is an evi
dence of administrative anility of the
Ordinary of unusual character, consider
ing the limited nature ot the rooms occu
pied by him.
“We also find that the fact that the fees
of the Ordinary of Chatham county
dlfl'ering from tbeCode is not peculiar to
this county, but exists in other counties.
In contrasting the fees with the other
counties, and considering the cost
of living in Savannah, we do not consider
them too large, as the net amount pro
duced Horn this, alter paying expenses is
otily about $3,500 per annum, not too
large a salary for so responsible an office
a* that oi J udge of the Court of Ordinary,
as a less amount would not probably se
cure the services of a faltbful and com
petent officer.”
AT THE COURTS.
A Musy Day in the Superior Court —
Judgments Rendered,
The following matters were disposed of
in the Superior Court yesterday:

VIOLATED THE LAW.
Joslyn’s Postmaster Unintentionally
Offends Uncle Sain.
Joseph Brown, postmaster at, Josiyn,
Liberty county, was tried in tho United
States District Court yesterday for violat
ing the postal laws by disposing of stamps
in trade. During a period of about three
years Brown allowed a neighboring store
keeper with whom he dwelt to get stamps
and stamped envelopes on account. The
transactions amounted to $29, which sum
was deducted from tne postmaster’s
grocery bill. He made his returns reg
ularly an i remitted every cent that was
due to the government. The defendant
was represented by Isaac Beckett, Esq.
Judge Speer in his charge remarked
that the transactions did not constitute
swindling and were only a technical
violation of the law. The jury rendered
a verdict of guilty and the defendant ,vas
lined SSO without costs of court, which
was tbe lightest penalty tne law per
mitted.
W YH LEE’S SECOND TRIAL
Assigned for To-Day in the Superior
Court. •
The case of Wall Lee, ohargeil with the
larceny of SB4, is assigned for a retrial in
the Superior Court to-day. Considerable
difficulty is likely to arise in getting a
jury, as a good many of the jurors on the
regular panels are disqualified from hav
iug heard a part ot the testimony deliv
ered under oath, it being presumed that
they have since expressed an opinion.
Violated the Ordinance.
Lizzie l’ridgeon, whose name was on
the information docket for selling liquor
in Yamacraw without a city license, was
before Acting Mayor John Schwarz yes
terday morning. Two witnesses testified
that t hey had bought liquor from her, and

CENTRAL’S QUEER ORDER.
GIVING UP TRAFFIC TO THE
RICHMOND TERMINAL.
President A lex *mler a limtrucMons to
the Auguata and Kuoxvlll* In llegard
to Freight for the Columbia and
Greenville—How the Order la Con
strued iu Augusta.
On Monday the officials of the Augusta
and Knoxville railroad at Augusta, under
instructions from headquarters here in
Savannah, stopped receiving freight for
points on the Columbia and Greenville
road. Heretofore most of the freight from
Augusta lor points along the Greenville
and Columbia, especially between New
berry and Greenwood, has gone over the
Augusta and Knoxville line to Green
wood, where It was turned over to the
Columbia and Greenville, which carried
it to its destination.
The Central got a long haul and the
Richmond and Danville a short one. The
latter company can carryall Ireight from
Augusta via tbe Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta over its own lines to points on
the Columbia aud Greenville. This route
is a round-about way, and tbe Augusta
merchants complain that, as it takes
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours
longer for their freight to reach its
destination, they are afraid that they will
lose the trade from that territory.
It is learned here that the order was
issued at a request made by tho Rich
mond and West Point Terminal of Gen.
Alexander, President of the Central.
In Augusta the order is construed to
mean that the West Point Terminal con
trols the Central. The latter company
had the traffic in its own grasp, and if
Gen. Alexander voluntarily gave it up
the circumstance at Least indicates that
the two great systems are on very amica
ble terms. Gen. Alexander is in New
York and will be gone several days.
The lVr ghtsvllle and Tesintlle.
President Thomas, of the Wrightsville
and Tennille railroad, informs the
Wrightsville Recorder that tbe company
Is erecting a large warehouse at Dublin,
on the opposite side of the river, A corps
of carpenters is now engaged in building
a commodious engine house and work
shop at Tennille, all of which savors well
for the wirfegrass enterprise, which has
been the means of accomplishing so much
for that immediate section. A telegraph
line extending from Wrightsville to Ten
nille is being constructed by the Wrignts
ville aud Tennille Railroad Company.
Port Royal's Naval Storehouse.
The new naval storehouse at the naval
station in Port Royal harbor rapidly ap
proaches completion. It Is a substantial
and well built structure, 150 feet long by
50leet wide. In addition to ample loom
to quarter the garrison and afford store
age room for the stores of the Paymaster
and Quartermaster, it has a capacity for
the storage of 1,200 to 1,500 tons of coal.
The keeping ol coal here will be a great
accommodation to vessels cruising in the
West Indies, which otherwise would have
lo seek navy yards iurther north for a
supply. Tbeu many other vessels will
be attracted here lor coal.— Fori Royal

Tho Opening Entertainment in Odd
Fellows’ Hall Last Night.
The entertainment given by tbe Ladles’
Auxiliary Committee of the Young
Men’s Christian Association at Odd Fel
lows’ Hall last night was in every way a
success. It was the first time the new
hall has been seen by the public, and al
though it was not crowded there was not
seating capacity lor tbe large audlenoe,
and many were compelled to stand.
The hall, of itself architecturally at
tractive, was-handsomely deoorated with
Chinese lauterns pendant from the chan
deliers. The stage has not yet been
built, and a platform was improvised for
the occasion. It was the first time that
the ball had been used for any public
gathering, and tbe singers and those who
spoke pronounced It admirably adapted
for concert purpose®. Committees of
young men from the association assisted
the ladies as ushers and iu serving re
freshments.
Tne concert programme was admirably
arranged, aud inoluded some of tbe best
musical talent in the city.
The opening number was an instrumen
tal piano solo, "The Storm,” by Mr.
Frank Keilbnob. Mr. Richardson fol
lowed with a very effective recitation.
Mrs. Wade sang “When,” aud Master
Eddie Connor played a seieoted violin
solo. A quintette, “Moonlight Dance,”
by Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Gustlti, .Miss Gross,
and Messrs. Frierson and ileadick com
pleted tbe first part of the programme.
Misses Gross played an instrumental
piano duet, “The Witches Dance,” in
opening the second part, and were fol
lowed by J£r. T. F. Collins with a charac
ter song “Benjamin Bims,” in which he
appeared clad as a ghost. Mr. Kine gave
a trombone solo and Mr. J. H. Mosber
declaimed very effectively “Phil Blood’s
Leap,” a story of Western life.
The concert ended with a vocal solo,
“Ah, So Fair,” by Mr. Salas. Nearly
every number on tbe programme was en
cored and was repeated. The accompani
ments were played by Mr. Frank Kell
irnch, Mrs. Gustln and Miss Marie
Tynan.
After the conoert Rev. J. \V. Rogan an
nounced the refreshment programme.
Tables were spread on the norm side of
the hall, where a regular sup
per and lunches were served.
The arrangements, in view of tbe fact
that the hall is not yet furnished, were
very complete. Nearly every one alter
the conoert and refreshments, visited the
association parlors and reading rooms
and gymnasium on the second floor of
tbe building, and many were astonished
at the association’s success since it
was organized less than a year ago.
•GeueralSecretary Frater, tbe association
committees and tbe ladies’ committee
were congratulated upon the success of
the entertainment.
The ladies will be at the association
rooms between 12 and 1 o’clock to-day
and will serve a lunch for business men
who dine at 0 o’clock.

The New Record Range,
A great success is tne New Record
Range. It is a good baker, and being well
made, with little ornamentation, it is sold
at a very moderate figure. This Stove is so
arrauged as to admit of its being easily
cleaned, and this is the secret ol its large
sales. It is always clear of ashes and
works like a charm, and is capable of
performing the work ol a larger range.
