DISCRIMINATION STOPPED.
In the Uu'ted States Court yesterday
evening Judge Settle, presiding, granted
an order in the suit of the Mallory Steam
ship line vs. the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company, compelling Re
ceiver Duval, of the last-named company,
to grant equal rates and lacilities over
his line in the matter of freight and pas
senger transportation, as that now ex
tended to its rival, the Clyde
line, or to show cause why
he should not do so within
the next ten days. This order grows out
of a suit recently Instituted in the United
States Court by the Mallory Line against
the Florida Railway and Navigation Com
pany tor alleged discrimination in freight
as against its line aud in iavor of the
Clyde line, TbeMaliorys claim that they
have a contract ot some years standing
with the Florida Railway and Navigation
Company by wuich the railway company
agreed to give them through tratfic
-over their lines from New York,
but that since the recent estab
lishment ol the Clyde line the defendants
have broken the contract and wrongfully
discriminated in iavor of the Clyde line
to the extent ot giving it rates Irom 15 to
30 per cent, lower per 100 weight than ihe
rates allowed them, and have also re
quired prepayment on ail freight sent by
thq Mallory line over tbeir roads, it is
not yet kuowu what answer the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company will
) file to this temporary injunction, but it is
understood that they will make a vigor
ous figbt to have toe injunction dismiss
ed. The long impending fight between
these two great steamship lines is now
well on,and it will be waged to the bitter
end. The result is of much importance
to Florida transportation interests.

Don’t Toy with the Ostrich.
From the Philadelphia Press.
It is possible that many readers of the
introductory chapter to Rider Haggard's
latest novel, “Jess,” regarded the hero’s
light with the ostrich 11s a simple display
of the author’s imaginative powers, and
treated bis description of the bird’s com
bative powers with skepticism. Dr.
Hornoe Jayne and Dr. E. A. Kelley, of
the Biographical Department at the Uni
versity ol Pennsylvania, have been dis
settlng the ostrich which died recently at
the Zoological Gardens. Dr. Jayne said
yesterday he had louud us the result of
his research that'.he accounts of the pow
ers ol the ostrich were not exaggerated
in the least, and ibut the bird could easily
strike a man dead with a single blow of
its leg.
“We found over a dozen stones and
broken pieces of brick in l!s gizzard, '
said l)r, Jayne, “which It swallows to
help the digestion of food. We only found
two copper cents Insieail of the hidden
treasures wo had liecn led to expect. The
muscles under the wings, contrary to the
rule in other birds, were but slightly de
veloped, while the musoles of the legs
were very strong. We have just Unshed
cataloguing the books in the library ot
tue biological department, in which Dr.
Harrison Allen and Dr. Joseph Laid) are
greatly interested.”
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1887;
RAsT COAST ECHOES.
Opening of die Hillsboro River Sec
tion—AVlu.t a British Tar Thinks
of Florid i.
New Smyrna. March ‘-L—Your corre
spondent has just had the pleasure of a
two-hours’ conversation with Lieut,
Henn, the weil-knwn skipper of the Ge
nesta, who has been hunting and fishing
on the Hillsboro and Indian rivers since
the latter part of December. He is now
Northward-bound, intending on his ar
rival in New York, some time iu April, to
place his yacht in commission, as he
expects to take an active part in
the yachting sports this spring. The
Lieutenant and Mrs, Henn spent most of
their lime at Jupiter Intent, in camp,
and he speaks most enthusiastically ot
the Florida fishing, and above all the cli
mate. This was his first winter here, but
it had been so pleasant altogether that he
expects to bring his vaebt down next
season and also to,induce some of his
friends to accompany him. It was far
preferable in point of sport, climate, etc.,
to the Mediterranern season, aud b be
lieved that in the near future it would be
a great resort for yachttneu. He
expressed great interest in the
ocean yacht race now being
sailed, and thought it would prove of
value to yaoutmen in giving them reliable
data iu regard to seagoing pleasure boats.
The Lieutenant was in a jocular mood,
aud gave some funny aiid interesting
reminiscences ol his naval career. His
hag been an eventlul life, and his stories
are intensely interesting, the quaint and
original manner In w hich he relates them
adding much to their point aud piquancy.
H;s urbanity aud easy manners
made him hosts ot friends among
the inhabitants ot the coast, and several
boast how kindly the Lieutenant took to
their olt invite to “take sum’thing.”
Doubtless his visit here will have a good
effect in attracting attention to this
favored coast.
At Smyrna the Morning News cor
respondent was taken in hand bv Mr. R.
S. Nelson, one of their live and energetic
citizens, and driven over the country im
mediate around the town and down to
Hawks’ Park. This latter place is
finely locate I, having a beautiful
water front, and is going ahead very
rapidly. Dr. J. M. Hawks is its founder
and be has worked energetically to bring
it out. He has a fine place, on a high
shell knoll commanding a wide view of
the river. He has aline grove of orange
and lemon trees, and many rare species
ol bolh. Mr. W. S. Hart, the famous “bee
man” of the coast, lives near by, and bas
some exceedingly fine young groves. All
the trees in this section are looking well,
and all have been raised without
the aid of commercial fertilizers.
Smyrna is nearly surrounded by pine
groves and is destined to be a tine com
mercial point. With its fine inlet, aflord
lug a capacious and safe harbor, its fish
eries, oysters, fruit, etc., it certainly will
go ahead at a rapid rate in the near
future. Over 100,000 oranges are now
raised here, of the finest quality, and a
large number of young groves
are just coming into bearing.
With the advent of the B, S.,
O. C. & A. R. R. it means anew future
lor Smyrna, and the people here see and
appreciate the change. Many improve
ments are contemplated this summer and
tall, and by next season we predict a
heavy travel in that direction, Already
is shown the benefits of the new
road, for since its opening the
passenger traffic has been quite good
lor anew road, and tbe influx oi
visitots has tasked genial Capt. Sams
and his good helpmeet, of the Ocean
House, to the utmost to accommodate
them.
Among the older settlers here are Capt.
P. N. Bryan, wuo moved to Glencoe
twenty years ago, Mr. E. K. Lowd, who
moved here from New York thirty-three
years ago, Capt. J. W. Sams, Dr. Hawley
and others. It is a treat to hear Sir. E.
K. Lowd give his memories of those old
days, when the Indians obliged them to
live in block-houses, and when only by
strict and constant watchfulness were
these alert enemies avoided.
Two marriages occurred here last
week—lra L. Donald and Miss Clemie
Vaiidergriff, aud E. K. Lowd, Jr., and
Lenora Futcli. The happy couples will
settle down to real life here atonce.
The railroad wharf is progressing well
and will be finished soon. It is being
well made, substantial everyway, and
will cost some $3,000 altogether. Col.
Carter is a good superintendent, and is
indefatigable in his efforts to make the
B. 8., O. C. & A. a model road in every
way.
Tnere Is a good prospect that the An
drews tract (600 acres), at the terminus
of the road, will soon be placed ou the
market. Dr. B. F. Fox, the agent of the
property (an old Savannatuan, by tne
way), is working hard to get it open for
sale, and for the prospects of the place it
is to be hoped he will succeed.
Fishing here Is excellent and exciting.
In the river bass of fifteen, twenty and
, tweuty-flve pounds weight are caught
often, while the surf fishing is corre
spondingly good,a6 or 8-toot shark adding
novelty to this latter sport once in awhile.
Sbeepshead can bo caught lor the mere
going and is good sport. Every train
brings in fishermen, “amateurs and pro
fessionals,” and all go way well satisfied.
California’s Colonel Crop.
From the San Fra nr lira Post,
Kentucky, the mother of Colonels, has
reason to look to her shoulder straps.
California Is already a good second, 7id
there is a reasonable prospect that w ithin
a low years wo shall be able to sho,y more
military titles to the area than any State
ot the Union. We see that the Sons ot
Veterans are carrying on tbe grand work.
Tbeir chief offleur is a Colonel, the next
is a Lieutenant Colonel, the next a Major,
and so on. In tlio order of the Sons of
Veterans Colonels will retire irom office
and now ones will be created, but this will
but multiply Colonels indefinitely.
Onoe a Colonel always 'a
Colonel. That title bestowed, and
onlUdeath or higher rank can part it and
its pleused owner. In one respect we have
already leit Kentucky away behind. We
not only screw military titles on civilians,
but we clothe the peaceful citizen in the
garb of the warrior. Societies, purely
social and benevolent in their purposes,
uniform their members like army officers
and eudow them with swords. Thus it
comes that a young man who Is not a
Colonel or a Major to ins acquaintances,
or who has not a military uniform laid
away in his trunk, tcels a sense ut singu
larity.
It Goes Without Si*) lot
That Allcock’s i’orous Blasters are ap
proved by tbe leading medical men in the
oountry.
That they are the original and genuine
porous plasters upon whose reputation
imitators have traded.
That Alloock’s I’orous Plasters are the

That in ingredients and method they

That Allcock’s Porous Plasters have

QUIETING DOWN.
The Affair of Honor Probably Ami
cably Settled in Augusta.
From the Athens (Ga.) £ inner-Watchman.
Wednesday morning the duel was all
the talk. The Ban ner-Watchman was
scoured for news aud pretty soon the is
sue was exhausted. The wires were
worked for latest information and the
noonday papers eagerly scanned. These
issues contained but little new save the
announcement that a board of honor was
iu session in Augusta, and that it was
believed the matter would be amicably
adjusted.
It is but fair to Mr. Tom Cobb to say
that he uid not anticipate the turn wntch
the affair has taken. ’His challenge was
proffered upon the idea that tue usual
meeting under Queensberry rules would
lollow, \\ ben tne alternative of weapons
was chosen by hia antagonist, however,
he promptly accepted the conditions.
it may also be just to Mr. Chisholm to
conclude that having already engaged in
one fisticuff with Mr. Cobb’s younger
brother, ne prelerred to change the scene
of conflict to more neutral ground anc to
continue the contest under more uecisive
regulations.
There is a matter touched in the printed
reports anil telegrams sent out Irom
Augusta wuich snould be corrected. The
trouble din not arise Irom any charge
about “cheating in examinations” as
those accounts declare. So lar as we can
learn there was some discussion between
Mr. William Cobb and Mr. Chisholm about
the latter’s being prompted in his law
recitations by a lellow-student. Mr.
Cobb was chaffing him, and Mr. Chisholm
admitted that a companion had suggested
uu answer to an oral question in oiass,
but denied that he had availed himself ot
such aid. It was irom this we learn that
the trouble arose which culminated in the
bght on the campus.
31r. Powiieriy’s Back Is Up.
From a Recent Circular to the Knight* at
Labor.
If I were working for a corporation I
would have resigned long since on ac
count ot overwork, regardless of what the
salary might he; and oven if the slightest
part of tue abuse and insult was offered
me that has been offered me, nay, heaped
upon me, by members of the order, I
would quit in disgust. lam not work
ing lor ihe grumblers and faultfinders; I
am not laboring for the malicious rascals
wuo rust) into print with every grievauee
against the general office.
I am working tor tbe men and women
of this order who believe in its principles
and who honestly and fearlessly work to
put them into practice. 1 would not use
such language as this did I not see the
mean, malicious, false, and cowardly at
tacks which, inspired by designing
knaves, have been madeuuon the general
officers.
The property of Mrs. Baird, on Broad
street, Philadelphia, was offered for sale.
We investigated carelully and found that
it was a first-class property and was
worth SBO,OOO. The bouse, barn, out
buildings, and lot cost $113,000 in cash.
By discreet management it was obtained
for $45,000 —$5,000 less than the sum
which tue General Assembly voted for
tbe purchase of a suitable place. Since
we removed the headquarters to that
building we have been offered SIO,OOO
more tuan we gave lor it by one party
aud $15,000 by another.
Tne charge made that “the General
Executive Board had squandered tue
funds of the order in a reckless purchase
of a palace among capitalists and
nabobs” is silly when It appears In a
paper published in the interest of capital;
but when a labor paper plays parrot, and
picks up such a cry and repeats it before
ascertaining whether it is true or false,
it becomes criminal. If the order does
not want the property which it com
manded its General Executive Board to
purchase, a future Board can sell it
and realize more than your present
Board paid for it.
