Elian Eavage Wants $lOO Damages
Because of a Delayed Telegram.
A $lOO damage suit against the Western
Union Telegraph Company brought by
Bflen Baraga (colored) in Justice Patterson's
court consumed the entire afternoon yester
day. The argument was upon motions for a
dismissal of the case. It was a hard fight
between T. 8. Morgan for toe plaintiff, and
W. 8. Chisholm, Jr., for the telegraph
company.
The Savage woman alleged that a tele
gram was sent from Jacksonville, Fla.,
Nov. 1, early in the day, announcing the
death of a relative, and asking her
to go to Jacksonville at once, and she did
not receive the telegram until late the fol
lowing day. Her counsel urged that the
non-delivery of the telegram tyas clearly a
failure upon the part of the company, and
the law fixes the penalty at $lOO, the amount
sought to be rec ivored. This was met by a
motion from the defense setting forth that
the statute prescribing the penalty for
which the Dlaintiff sought to recover ap
plied only to messages sent from a point
within the state, and did not apply to
messages from a potet outside of the’ state.
It was also held by the defense that the
state cannot regulate the delivery and
transmission of telegraphic messages from
points one of which is witnout tho limits
of the state.
This motion was overruled by Justice Pat
terson, and the defense introduced an
amended motion that a justice court had
no jurisdiction in the case. It was argued
that its jurisdiction was limited and its
duties are clearly defi led by the constitu
tion of the state iu the following: “This
court has jurisdic.iou only in all civil cases
arising ex-contract u, and in cases of
injury, and of damage to personal property
where the principal sum does not exceed
$100.” And it has no jurisdiction of any
act to recover a statutory penalty.
Justice Patterson reserved his decision
until later in the afternoon, when he de
cided to dismiss the case. It is understood
that it will be carried to the city court.

The building of the railroad under the
bluff is developing the wharf property on
the city front, which has been in a measure
idle since the extension of the wnarve-i up

the extension of the Central’s tracks east
the warehouses and wharves under the
bluff will soon be a busy part of the city.

which was paid. Since then the captain
has seen nothing of detective, money, or the
missing members of the crew.
BAIL AND ORO3STIE.
The Alabama color-blind law has passed
the tests of all the courts, and has stood
them all. Its constitutionality has just been
affirmed by the supreme court The law
was originally passed in 1886-7. It pro
vides for appointments by the state of med
ical examiners, whose certificate should be
necessary to the performance of any duty
by a railroad employe where color-blindness
or defective vision would interfere with a
proper discharge of that duty. The medi
cal examiner is paid by a fee which is col
lectable out of the employing railroad.
The suit of the Memphis and Charleston
minority stockholders to restrain the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
'rom voting its stock to the management
the Memphis and Charleston road,
bas been decided in favor of tho
Memphis and Cnarleston minority stock
holders. The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia holds a bare majority of the Mem
phis and Charleston stock, and hat been
using it to operate the latter road as in all
respects a part of its own system. The
decision would seem to have the effect of
turning the management back into the
bands of the private stockholders. What
the next move will be has not yet been an
nounced.

A LAKE HELEN ROMANCE.
A Strange, Almost Startling Experi
ence for One so Young.
From the Lake Helen Life in Florida ,
The hero of our story, whom we will call
Mr. Smith, has baen at the Harlan hotel
for a week or two, but is now in DeLand.
He spent the most of last winter at the
Caicos, a little group of islands northeast of
Cuba. His hotel was built on a perpendic
ular bluff overlooking the ocea i, and the
morning before he was to sail for Havana
he was taking his usual after breakfast
stroll on the beach, gazing out on the
green waters and across to the neighboring
islands, when, without any warning what
ever, a strong cord wound itself about his
legs, and something, which proved to be a
large kite, partly dragged and partly
lifted him into the sea. The wind was
blowing briskly from the land, aud away
he weut over the breakers to the smoother
wafers beyond.
Ho caught hold of the cord with his left
hand, and with the other kept his head
above water, be being a good swimmer.
He was about an hour going to the next
island, where a large crowd awaited him
with surgeons aud restoratives, but he
needed very little attention in that direc
tion, his only hurt being where the cord
had cut through his clothing and into the
fleshy part of the leg.
The young lady woo was flying the kite
with others launched boats and put out for
his rescue, but did not reach him until he
hud nearly reached the solid earth. Of
course the peril ho had beeu in from her
carelessness caused her much nervous agita
tion, and with her sympathy there was
mixed a stronger attachment, at least so
the result has proved. The boat he had en
gaged passage on stopped for him the
next day, and, his business at Ha
vana being so pressing, he was with re
luctance obliged to leave his new made
friends.
Last summer he came to New York, but
his legs continued to trouble him and grew
worse, tho doctors said caused by poisoning
his blood with the coloring of his pants. In
Pennsylvania he heard of Dr. Leggett
through some of her patients, but whetuer
from the name or not, I cannot ay ( but he
took a notion that she could help him, and
so followed her to Lake Helen, and in the
few days he has received treatment from
her hit trouble has nearly left him, or, os
he expressed it, “has put him on his feet
again.” But the strangest part of the
story is yet to be told. Yesterday aften
taking a bath at the Sanitarium, and while
on his way to Harlan hotel, he saw a car
riage approaching, which proved to bo
from DeLand, and what was his astonish
ment and delight, when he recog ized the
young lady, with her father and mother,
who flew the kite that caught his legs that
caused the pain, that brought him here.
They all went back to the hotel and in the
hour, there, the day was set for their wed
ding, and although he <iid_ not tell me the
day, there is no doubt but*what the Christ
mas bells will riug him iu the happiest man
in all Florida.

ls Friday an Unlucky Day 7
More or less superstition attaches to the
sixth day of the week, and numerous are
the undertakings or ventures that are post
poned to a more propitious (?) day. Friday
Is as good a day as any other in which to
inaugurate a quest for health, and P. P. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) is
the very best weapon with which to begin
an onslaught on disease. For all blood im
purities such as are indicated by Rheuma
tism, Gout, Syphilis, Scrofula or eruption
of the skin, P. P. P. is a sure and simple
remedy. For women suffering from loss of
appetite, strength and vigor it is a splendid
tonic and remarkable in its results. All
druggists keep it.
Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow ’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once;
it produces natural, quiet sleep bv reliev
ing the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very
pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, soft
ens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,
regulates the bowels, ana is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents
