2 GEORGIA'S LINES OF RAIL THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY LOOK ING INTO THEIR AFFAIRS. iflr. Northcutt Introduces a Bill to Per mit Citizens to Bring Suits to Pre vent the Stripping of the State Road —Extension of the Marietta and North Georgia Rigorously Opposed— Felton’s Wine Room Bill Goes Over. Atlanta, Ga. , July 15. —Both houses of he Legislature succumbed to the excessive leaf today and adjourned to Monday. The fcennte passed one bill, introduced by Mr. Dil worth, of the Fourth district, to pi-event took running at large on Cumberland Bland. The follow new bills were introduced: By Mr. Jackson, of the Thirty-seventh— ?roviding for the disposition of insolvent toll tax fi. fas. and for the collection of the nine when practicable. By Mr. Mclawl, of the Ffteenth — To in orporatc the Waycross Air-Line Railroad Jomjvanv. By Mr. Northeutt, of the 85th—To tuthorizo any citizen or citizens of this Itute interested as a tax payer in the Shite toad to bring suit against any person or tersons or corporation who shall in any banner interfere with said road or to de preciate its value or to attempt to run off ts rolling stock, move its steel rails or any ft the property of the road. By Mr. Farrar, of the Twenty sixth To unend the act of incorporating the Griffin, LaGrange and Western railroad so as to (onfirm the change of name to the Birming lam and Atlantic Air Line railroad; to in irease the capital stock to $10,000,000 if de- Ired by the company; to construct certain (ranch roads; to confer navigation powers ipon the company and authority to operate I banking business in connection with the lewd. In the House. In the House the special order was Mr. tel ton's bill taxing wine-rooms SIO,OOO, but t was displaced aud made the special order br next Tuesday. A warm debate was sprung by the report If the Committee on Railroads on the hill b amend the charter of the Marietta and forth Georgia railroad so as to authorize an xtension from Marietta to Atlanta. The pmmittee’s report was adverse to the pas age of the bill. A strong effort was made o have it recommitted on the ground that he friends of the bill had not had fair rep csentation at the committee meeting. This ras pressed by Messrs. Weil and Howell, of fulton, who made earnest efforts to have he bill recommitted. Mr. Felton, of Bibb, said that he would lot enter into a discussion of the hill at this ime, but he trusted that the members rould have sufficient confidence in the Railroad Committee to recommit the bill pr their consideration. It would lie dis ourteous to them not to do so, as the Chair han has expressed his willingness that this hould be done. Recommital was opposed by Mr. Arn leim, of Dougherty, and Mr. Felton, of Jartow. Mr. Ambeim said that although le had made the motion, he only asked of be House to decide upon its merits after he lad finished. BCILDINO OF THE KOAD. He stat'd that the Western and Atlantic oad had lieen built by the State, so, also, lad the Marietta and North Georgia to a treat extent, although it was now owned by Irivate parties for the lienefit of the late oad. The State had donated the ibor of 350 convicts for a period i two years and loaned it #Grt, - tt> on the ground that it was a feeder for tie Western and Atlantic. The company [terwurd asked, as a matter of equity, that his money be donated, and it was done, rhile other roads, equally as imixatant pi be general interests of the State, were truggling for existence and asking for aid lid sympathy in vain. Thus the parties twning the road, after having already jeon greatly benefited by the State’s gen" rosity were permitted to again gorge them lives at the State’s exjiense. It, is now as uming an attitude which condemns the in crest of the State road, thus imperilling |ie liest property owned by the State. It is p-oper, especially under the existing cir- Umstances, and when it can lie done with ut injury or injustice to others, that the Itute should protect its own interests. This i what governed the committee in reiect tig the bill, and the same reasons should in uenco the House to’snow it under. pr. kklton’s objections. Dr. Felton, of Bartow, said that thedeath entence of the bill, which had been pro tounced by the committee, should be oon rmed. The State has already done enough or the Marietta and North Georgia road ad it was all of doubtful constitutional roprioty. Thousands of dollars have thus ben appropriated contrary to the spirit if lot the letter of the law. "The injury to the Itate road by the proposed extension docs nt end with the competition for local traffic etween Marietta and Atlanta. It is in fended to connect with main lines which rill cut off from the Western and At, (Uitic a large portion of their through heights. Atlanta does not ask for it. She Iready gets the drippings, lierquisites, etc., fas much of the through freight as would ome to her by the proposed extension. Iu ny event, it is not necessary that every oad in the State should run into Atlanta, ’he motion to recommit was lost. The unfinished business was consideration f the Brady bill. Mr. Calvin, of Rich aond, concluded his argument against the ill. Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, Mr. Harri fen, of Quitman, and Mr. Smith, of Gwiu btt, occupied the time till adjournment on his bill.

Possible Combat Between De Leuville and Eristoff. /-Voin the Xew York Stnr. London, July 12. —The Metropolitan police have lieen requested to keep a sharp lookout for the Mar juis do Leuville and Prince Eristoff, and to prevent any duel lie tween them. The Marquis possesses many and diverse accomplishments, 1 icing an ex cellent pistol shot, not altogether a bad poet, a tolerable landscape painter and a skillful .swordsman. Six feet four inches high, with long hair nnd a shower of whiskers, wearing shoulders broader than John L. Sullivan's aud No. 4 shoes, the Marquis de Leuville would attract attention even in Timbuctoo. He is a living protest against the common place character of the age. As ho walks down Piccadilly he looks like a phantom which one might sec who had dined late with a tailor. Ho might bean antique beau who hud stepped out of an old canvas for a merry flirtation to set in a quiver the tender hearts of widows from Russia to Murray Hill. Ho is the widows’ international Apollo. Little is known of Prince Eristoff except that he is a nobleman. He seems to lie an obscure and inoffensive prince taking his summer vacation in London, this being the time of year that the waiters at Baden Ba den and Vichy get two weeks off. Being a Russau Prince, it, would naturally be sus spected that Eristoff was a Nihilist, and an indigestible soup which he once made for the (’zar, lent some color to the report con necting him with the revolutionary move ment. lie was fully exonerated, however, it Vicing amply proven that he had no con ned,ion with underground Russia outside the kitchen of the White Palace. The encounter between the noble Marquis de ljoiiville and Prince Eristoff, in which the Marquis pursued the Prince and Mrs. Frank Leslie through Hyde Park on top of a mail coach like a demon of mythology, is to-day in London a topic scarcely less im portant than the Coventry election. The crack of the Marquis de Lou villa's whip has been heard around the world. Mrs. Frank Loslie, a brilliant and beautiful woman,who abhors notoriety, was very much annoyed by the incident. She had gone to Europe to chaperone Miss Ella Bennett, a beautiful California girl who owns several lodes and four or fivelionanzas in the Sierras. Mrs. Leslie herself was so hnndsonio and blithe that the impression innocently got abroad in the courts of Europe that. Miss Bennett was chaperoning Mrs. Leslie. The fair publisher scored a great, social success in the literary and art circles of London, and when the Marquis de Leuville saw her riding with Prince Eristoff he is said to have been consumed with jealousy. This is one explanation of the nearly tragic affray which took place between two noblemen, in England, in the nineteenth century, in Hyde Park. The other explanation given by a club man, is simple, and less obscure. It is to the effect that the trouble between the two gentlemen of the upper class arose from an unfortunate misunderstanding at cards. The Marquis de Ijeuville on arising from the table found that Prince Eristoff owed him two shillings six pence ha’penny and two beers. The Prince frankly neknowl edged the debt, and offered the Marquis his cheek. As the Marquis had been playing for seven hours, he naturally felt indignant at the attempt of the Russian Prince to evade his financial responsibilities. In addition to this 1 net the Marquis de Ixniville happened to lie embarrassed nt the moment by lieing in debt at the bar for four glasses of beer, a pinto of pretzels and a mutton pie. The two gentlemen parted with cold dignity at the time. When the Marquis do Leuville subsequently struck Prince Eristoff with a livery stable whip and calk'd him a thief and a swindler, it was a cutting reference to the two shillings sixpence ha’penny and two beers, out of which the Prince had so cunningly and in such a barefaced manner tried to swindle the Marquis. Of such importance is the honor of each of these gentlemen that though the death of either would lie an irreparable less to the world, they will probably fight a duel. Prince Eristoff was overcome with rage this morning. He arose at an early hour, bor rowed a shirt, polished his own shoes, drew on his own coat, mechanically gave himself a “tip,” started down stairs in an absent minded way two or throe times to answer the bell, and finally walked out of the hotel to search for the Marquis de Leuville. He looked over the registers of the Cheapside lodging houses; visited the Grosvenor Gal lery, it being a shilling day; he looked into the throe-penny burlier shops—all in vain; nowhere could he find the Marquis de Leu ville. The Marquis himself arose early, dyed his hair, squeezed into his tight shoes, put on his coat, and finishing his toilet, borrowed" some ear fare and started out to find Prince Eristoff, whom ho had injured and now hated. The Marquis visited all the lieer gardens and cheap restaurants in Loudon, scrutinizing the waiters to see if ho could recognize his enemy. Once, though for a moment only, he thought he recognized the Prince in a sad man who was grinding an organ for a Punch nnd Judy show. The Marquis was wholly mistaken, and walked back to his lodgings—four miles —greatly disappointed. It is said that Prince Eristoff has sent a challenge to the Marquis de Leuville, and that the two will fight with pistols, proba bly in France. THE STOMACH. A New Yorker Gives Some Advice In Regard to Its Treatment. An old New Yorker, who was brought up in hotels and restaurants, and knows all about eating, gave some points to a reporter of the •Sim tho other day about tho way for a man to make friends with his stomach. “There are two big mistakes that almost all persons make,’’ said he. “One is that they don’t eat the right things, and the other is that what they do eat they don’t eat right. Dyspepsia and ’ indi gestion are killing more people than rum ten times over. Why delirium tremens is joy compared with a hail diges tion. When a man has the tremens lie’s happy sometimes, liecnuse ho forgets him self, but when he’s got dyspepsia his stom ach is always with him, and he's always conscious of it. He can’t sleep. Ilis food doesn't taste right. Boils break out over him. He’s morbid. All his friends seem to have deserted him, and some day he goes off and blows his brains out, and the public and newspapers say lie had business troubles! Why, what does a man care for business troubles when his stomach is all right? If his stomach is right his head will be clear, and lie’ll prosper. No glutton or dyspeptic can stand up alongside of a man with a sound stomach and a dear head. “When you got up this morning what did you do? Went right off to breakfast and lull'd yourself, with your nose in the papers unit your mind wandering over the earth. You don't know what you ate, or how much or how long it took. For alt the good it did you, you might as well have swallowed bacon and coni bread, or turkey and buck wheat cakes, or uny other mixture that would take up space iu your stomach. Then, while you ate, you gulped down ice water and coffee alternately, and whan you got through you lit a cigar and went down town, glad you had done part of the work of the day. “That’s not breakfasting. It's loading up your stomach, and it’s worse for you than if you hadn’t eaten anything. Then you have a headache and feel bail, and grow fat, and wonder why it all is. It’s because you don’t pay as much attention to your stomach as you ao to your office tioy. Your stomach takes its revenge by making you wretched. To squelch it you jsmr a lot <if liquor into it and gulp some ice water on that, with a cracker, or pretzel and a bit of cheese What sort of a mixture is that? Just imagine the cheese, and rum and pretzel, and think that something inside of you has to get away with that. If you want to drink, drink and enjoy your drink. Don’t down it nnd fling things at it when you’ve got it down. Take a glass of wine and enjoy it, but don’t fling THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1887. it into your stomach us you would your fist into somebody’s eye. Your stomach ought to lie your friend, but if you go pitching into if it'll show light, and you may as well un ! deratend that it will get the best of it. “When you get up in the morning take a big drink of water. Your system wants water first. An engine isn’t first fired up and then some water let into the boiler. Clean your teeth, and let the water run from t)ie spigot while you’re doing it. Then drink a pint of it. Use common hydrant water; no ice, no salt, no mineral water. Ordinary water is good enough for an ordinary healthy man. Keep away from drugs and pills, and give your stomach a show. “If you're in a hurry to read the papers, read them before breakfast. When you sit down to the breakfast table be happy: you’re going to do something pleasant. Breakfast isn’t a penalty imposed on you or a task to lie performed us soon as possible, but a pleas ant, enjoyable occasion. Try and have somebody talk to you, and talk yourself. Baugh, Start oft' with fruit—some oranges, say. Then cat some fish agd stale bread, or stale rolls or toast. If you want anything more, eat some meat. Take your time to it all. I stay at the table for an hour, and eat nil the time. Don't cat much, but take your time to it. If you haven’t time, eat less. The time you spend at breakfast will be saved over and over again during the day. “If you’ve been up the night before don’t take a cocktail or ice water. Try some broth nnd some tripe if your stomach’s pretty far gone. When a man’s been off a little his stomach is raw and inflamed. He doesn't want to start right off with more rum. Let him give his stomach a show. It’ll pay him to. Coddle your stomach in the morning and it’ll stand up for you at night. If you gopitohing into it first thing it will have its revenge. “Don’t smoke in the morning. Don’t drink in the morning. If you must smoke and you must drink, wait until vourstonmeh is through with breakfast. Try this thing of starting off fair and square. You can drink more and smoke more in the evening, and it won’t tell on it. A man’s stomach is his friend, and if he'll only treat it kindly the first half of the day it will show its ap preciation nnd stick by him at night.” A FARMER’S CRUEL DEED. A Cool Confession of Murder That Has Aroused the Populace. An Indianapolis (Ind.) special, of July 11, to the Philadelphia /Vess, gives fuller details of the following tragedy than were con tained in the dispatch to the Morning News. The special says: A telegram from Jeffersonville states that intense excitement has been aroused there by a murder com mitted on Saturday by Jackson Robinson, a wealthy farmer, his victim lieing Samuel Hay. Two public meetings have been held and lynching is openly advocated by citizens. To-night Gov. Gray telegraphed to the Sheriff to take such steps as would secure the safety of the prisoner. Robinson last night made a confession, remarkable for the indifference and brutal ity shown by the murderer. He said: “One evening last week 1 went to Hays’ house to try anu adjust our differences. No one was at homo but Hays’ sister and mother, and they us"d such language to me that 1 struck the old woman in the back. She is 75 years old and partly paralyzed. I also struck her daughter. I thought of the matter until Saturday morning, when I decided to end it for all time. Rinding iny double-barrelled shotgun, I sprang into my wagon and drove toward the Hays’ homestead. I met Hays and his sistor on the road about 100 yards from their home. I told Hayathat f had come to kill him and if he hairany prayers to say, be quick about it. His sister screamed and pleaded with me to spare her brother’s life, and throw her arms about his neck as if to shield him from my aim. Her entreaties failed to change my purpose. “Placing the gun upon his sister’s shoulder I pressed the trigger aud saw him fall back with seven bullets in his heart. The blood spurted out over her white dress and he fell back into her arms. Not being positive that he was dead 1 went over to his mother’s house and sat down on the porch to reload my gun. In a few moments his sister came iip crying and said I had killed her brother. Then I jumped into my wagon and drove home. I think I had a perfect rigljt to kill kini because he attempted to defraud me out of a portion of my property. lam worth over SIOO,OOO and have .i'20,000 stock in the German Insurance Bank, of Louis ville. I t hink SSOO will get me out of this scrape and that my revenge will have been cheaply purchased.” FACTS ABOUT MAN. As They Are Gathered In the Wire Grass Region. Pope wrote an essay on man. That is not the reason I do so. He says “man is the noblest work of God.” I feel assured that he never tried to borrow a five from one of these noblest works. If ho had I think he would have hesitated or stuttered about writing the above. He also says, with much wisdom, that “the proper study of mankind is man,” but fails to give the proper study of the festive mule. Addison says: “Every wife ought to an swer for her man.” Addison was way off. Such a thing as a wife answering for her man, when her man is probably a toot and a thick quarter deep in his beers, anil is at the “club” at 3a. m., is one of the impossibilities. Man that born of woman is full of cacteria and beer. He has the blight and takes the pot on four aces and a king. Man that is not Imni of woman is an An archist and an Alderman. “Man shall not live by bread alone.” Even Matthew 1 knew that a few liquid re freshments did a man good. Some writer says that “man’s inhumanity toman has made countless thousands mourn.” If he had said the cook's inhumanity to man has made countless thousand’s groan I would have believed him. The average man’s head looks like a sc. Kolbgem melon, and is (illtsl with brain, strabismus and other bric-a-bac. The average weight of an adult man is 140 pounds 0 ounces; when he is “full” he is still more adulter. The number of 1 nines in man is 240. The average hickory shad can heat him by 20,- 000,000 bones aud not half try. The average weight of man’s brains— when they have any —is 3):, pounds. I have soon men, though, whose brains could not be weighed on a pair of druggist’s balances. Yet they were out of debt and wore an air of refinement and a shall-I-go-naked suit. The average height of man is 5 feet 9 inches. A friend of mine got to working with the dynamo of a brunette mule and I think his average height was 2,740 fret. It is strange how some will grow so high. The number of false teeth in man is 32. The uumlier of false hoods could not Imi counted with a calculating machine. Man contributes annually to vegetation 124 pounds of carbon. He contributes to the church 1 hole with a nickel around it, 4 shingle nails and a button. He walks 4 feet per second; when he sees n creditor his gait increases as the square of the distance decreases. . Tho heart beats 75 times per hour. Mail beats w henever he has an opportunity. One hogshead of blood pusses through th" heart per hour. This is enough to make the heart tilt’d. Twenty-five hundred square inches is the surface of man’s body, but when u follow has a "head” put on him, he feels like there are 40,1*10. There are 700,000 pores in a man’s Ixxly. This is why man is so "pore.” There is less pores iu a wagon body. Bill Omi. A Family Blessing.

Matters of Money and Management About Various Lines. Senator Brown asserts that the State road is less valuable now than formerly, and that competing lines have injured its .business. The following records from the office of the Comptroller General, showing the gross earrungs of the road since 1880. contain im portant information on this subject. The gross earnings were: In 1880, $1,297,048 71; 1881, $1,575,- 946 73; 1882, $1,576,905 59; 1883, $1,476,- 295 50; 1884, $1,280,819 97; 1885, $1,130,- 060 01; 1886, $1,077,596 95; 1887, $1,191,- 109 02. Those figures are from the annual reports of the lessees for each year, ending May 1. The County Commissioners of Aiken county arc bearing propositions to change the route of the Beech Island road to Au gusta. The petitions presented are numer ously signed by residents of the sections along the route. The projectors of the road which is between six and seven miles in length, have in several instances secured right of way, besides erecting bridges, one of which, that at Horse creek, cost $1,300. It is reported that tolls at Sand Bar ferry have fallen off fully one-third since the opening of the new road. The (>etition refers to the change of a part of the road that is so boggy at times to be almost impassable, and to carry it further from the road lied of the South Carolina railroad. W. •}. Rutherford ob jects to the change which would carry it through his extensive brick works just be low Hamburg and opposite Augusta. The commissioners gave both sides a full hear ing, but reserved their decision until their next regular meeting. The New Western Line. Capt M. F. Tutwilder, chief engineer of the Birmingham and Atlantic Air Line rail road, who has just completed the survey of this railroad from Birmingham, Ala., to Ma con, Ga., arrived in .Savannah yesterday af ternoon and reported for duty to Maj. J. A. A. West, General Manager, who will assign him to duty to the United States Construc tion and Improvement Company. The first survey connecting the line of this railroad with that of the Savannah. Florida and Western railroad has been completed. The corps of engineers arc now surveying a sec ond line, connecting the road with the Cen tral of Georgia. Charleston Happenings. The capital stock of the Berkeley County Land anil Stock Company, which has just effected the purchase of a large tract of lund from the State, is nearly all held in Charleston. The company has an author ized capital stock of SIOO,OOO. Mr. Samuel W. Langley is the President of the com pany and the general manager of the lands and stock. The Sumter Guards have accepted tho in vitation of Adjt . Gen. Bonham to attend the Farmers’ Encampment at Spartanburg next month. In addition to visiting Spartanburg the company will spend a week at Green ville, and have mapped out a very pleasant campaign in the mountains. Tile command will leave Charleston on the afternoon of Aug. 1, and will spend one week in camp at Spartanburg. They will then go to Green ville, where another week will be spent in the enjoyment of camp life. About thirty members will make the trip and will le com manded by Capt. Hyde. Mr. Chaplain, a young medical student, who is boarding on Sullivan’s Island, made a shocking discovery while fishing on the grillagP off the front beach on Wednesday, reeling a heavy weight on his line he hauled it in and was naturally horrified to find that he had hooked the detached leg of a child The limb had apparently been cut off at the trunk by some sharp instrument, and from its size must have belonged to a child about 9 years of age. It had the appearance of having been in the water several days, and was so badly mutilated by the fishes that it was impossible to tell whether it had be longed to a white or a colored child. The commencement exercises of the South Carolina Military Academy will begin Sun day, .July 24. On that day at 11 a. m. the baccalaureate sermon will be preached at Trinity church by the Rev. Charles W. Manly, D. D., one of the most distinguished divines of the Baptist church Cadet A. A. Aveilhe, of the institution, of Savannah, sent to the Morning News a very hand some engraved invitation to the commence ment exercises. It consists of two oblong cards joined at the end with a white riblmn. On the first appears a view of the academy building, in a panel, and the initials of the institute over. Following this is the wont ing of the invitation. The second card con tains the names of the orators of the day, committee, etc. It is a novel idea and very attractively engraved. In the Court of Common Pleas the case of Wylie Malone and others for the recovery of the estate of Thomas Malone was called yesterday morning. The action is by sum mons and complaint. The estate in suit was that of Mr. Thomas Malone, who, ac cording to the theory of the plaintiffs, left Camden at the age of 15 years, and went to the West Indies. Ho afterwards returned to Charleston where, in the law business mid other vocations, lie accumulated a for tune of about 840,000. He died in 1864, nnd in the absence of heirs it is proposed to escheat the property to the State. Since that time the property in the hands of the administrator has increased, it is thought, to about $79,000. It is now claimed that the property rightfully belongs to the heirs of Wylie Malone, deceased, who, it will lie the effort of the plaintiffs to prove, was the brother of Thomas Malone. The plaintiffs will endeavor to show that soon after the death of Thomas Malone his brother made certain arrangements to insti tute legal proceedings to establish his right as the heir. It was only, however, in 1882 that he succeeded, when he secured the ser vices of Capt. E. H. Clarke and Gen. John D. Kennedy, of Camden. By agreement tho suits of all interested will lie heard in the Common Pleas of Charleston county. Tho defense, it is understood, is based on the fact that Wylie Malone is not, the brother of Thomas Malone. Tho plaintiffs, among other questions of fact, allege that Thomas Malone was born in Kershaw coun ty, ami the defendants hold that he was a native of the Island of Jamaica. The case will he one of considerable local interest, both from the amount involved and the pe culiar nature of the suit. Advice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain and tho little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.

Y., April 2, 1885. ( About a year ago I imprudently stepped off the Hudson River cars while they were in motion. In trying to save myself from a fearful fall I wrenched my back terribly. The next day I could not walk, and I suf fered pain from my neck to my heels. Va rious applications wore made, but nothing which was done abated my suffering. Being anxious to get up and attend to business, 1 determined to place three Allcock’s Po rous Plastebs, one above the other, on my back. In about an hour and a half they caused considerable itching The pain and soreness sensibly decreased, and I rested pretty well that night. The next morning the itching began to be quite severe under the plasters. To get some relief, I had my hack well rubbed crosswavs over the Piasters. I was surprised within two hours afterwards to find the pain and soreness almost gone. I stayed in bed that day; and t he morning afterwards I got up and attend ed to business. O. Y. Pktt.man.

C., in the 28th year of his age. He had just entered on the full responsibilities of his life, and by his manly and upright deport ment had won the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, and was cheered by the bright prospects of an honorable and useful life. Around him were entwined the tenderest ties of domestic love, and the shining virtues of son and brother will be embalmed in those hearts which watched him in infancy, followed him in youth and were looking with pride and affection on the bright promises of manhood. Cut off suddenly in the vigor of life, he has left a large family circle to mourn his departure with an anguish for which the world hath neither re pression nor consolation. “Death rides in every passing breeze And lurks in every flower. Each season has its own disease. Its peril every hour.'' SPECIAL NOTICES. 'as usual We boldly step into the van for the benefit of the public and announce a spendid GRAND FREE LUNCH FOR TO-NIGHT.
