LONG AND SHORT HAULS.
AN IMPORTANT HEARING ON THB
DOCKET AT ATLANTA.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
to Sit There To-day to Hear the Case.
Many of the Roads of the State In
volved In the Proceedings and the
Merchants of Several Towns Finan
cially Interested In the Outcome.
Atlakta, Ga., March 23.—Hon. Judson
C. Clements, with the other members of the
interstate commerce commission, arrived
In Atlanta this afternoon. To-morrow
the commission will sit in the United States
court room to hear cases made by the
Georgia railroad commission under the long
and short haul clause of the interstate
commerce commission act. The places
direotly concerned in these cases are
Cartersville, Marietta, West Point, Albany.
Dawson, Cuthbert, Thomson, Covington.
Madison and Social Circle. Towns on the
Western and Atlantic, Central, Southwest
ern, Atlanta and West Point and Georgia
railroads complained tbat the companies
operating tnese lines were violating the
fourth section of the interstate commerce,
act. Marietta complains tbat the rate to
that point is larger than the rate to At
lanta. Social Cirole has complained that
the rate from Cincinnati there was higher
than the rate to Aug :sta, and other towns
have had similar complaints.
ACTION OF THE COMMISSION.
Acting under a law passed by the last
general assembly, the Georgia railroad com
mission took up those complaints, investi
gated them, gave the railroads a hearing
and came to the conclusion that the law had
been violated. Pursuant to the state law
their next duty was to make cases against
these railroads before the interstate com
merce commission, which was done, and
the hearing set for to-morrow, A
week ago the railroads endeavored to have
the cases postponed but the Georgia
commission refused to grant any further
delay. The cases will be watched with great
interest all over the country. The oreation
of the interstate commerce commission so
far has failed to regulate the matter of
freight rates between competing oeuters of
distribution and the smaller intermediate
towns.
SMALL MERCHANTS HOPELESS.
Small merchants who have all along been
the parties discriminated against oould not
afford to undertake the prosecution of the
railroads for refusing to comply with the
rules laid down, and the big merchants who
enjoyed the discrimination, of course did
not want to interfere, but now the state of
Georgia appears as the prosecutor and the
great point will be decided, as the cases will
be carried to the last ditch.
A case now pending in Judge Newman’s
court was made against tne railroad by
Social Cirole merchants because the rate
from Cincinnati to Social Circle was higher
than from Cincinnati to Augusta. The
interstate commerce commission decided In
favor of the plaintiff, but the Georgia rail
road took the case into the United States
court. A great deal depends upon .1 udge
Newman’s decision. If he sustains
the finding of the interstate commerce
commission It will have the effect of decid
ing in advance the possible appeal from the
decision of the interstate commission In
the other cases. The decision to he heard
to-morrow will probably he followed by an
appeal to the supreme court of the United
States, for both seem determined to fight
to the last point.
MURDE3BD HIS NIEOB.
Brutal Act of a Negro at Oreenß
boro—Another Negro Implicated.
Grmnsboro, Ga., Maroh 23.—Albert
Chester and Maok Hudson, both colored,
were placed iu jail here to-day charged with
murder. The offense with which they
stand accused is a most inhuman one. l’atsy
Ransom, a niece of Chester, and who has
been living with him for some time, disap--
peare t one day last week. It was known in
the Liberty neighborhood, where they lived
that Chester bad been very unkind to the
girl, often beating ber unmercifully
without the slightest provocation. When
her absence became generally known, it
was at onoe suspected that Chester had
foully dealt with her. A sufficient chain of
circumstances was obtained to warrant
Chester’s arrest, and suspicion also pointed
to Hudson as an accessory. When arrested
Chester denied all knowledge of the girl’s
whereabouts aud contended that she had
run away. Hudson, however, made a clean
breast of the matter. He said that Chester
bad first beat the girl to death and after
ward compelled Hudson to assist
him in destroying evidenoes of
the murder and to aid him in disposing of
the murdered girl. They carried the body
to a point on Richland creek, near where it
empties into the Oconee river, and threw it
into the water after stripping it of all
olothing. The creek has been dragged, but
the body has not yet been found and It is
thought it bas been swept by the current
down the river. The murdered girl was about
11 years old. Great excitement exists in the
neighborhood where the murder was com
mitted. Parties are still in searoh of the
body and for other evidence to oomplete
the charge against Chester and Hudson.
They will be held in jail until the superior
court oonvenos in August.
CEMTBAh’S BIG FIGHT.
Judge Pardee and All the Lawyers on
the Ground.
Macon, Qa., Maroh 23.—The Central
lease case is all the talk to-night, and no
doubt is entertained that the great fight
■will open In earnest to-morrow. All the
parties at interest seem ready for the issue.
The arrivals so far are mainly the attorneys
—Messrs. Rountree, Erwin, Jackson and
Tompkins, the Columbus delegation and
others. None of these gentlemeu are
Inclined to talk freely, and they are
evidently as much in the dark as
to the outcome as anxlouß outsiders, al
though all believe that something decisive
and possibly sensational will occur before
the week is out. The rumors sent out from
New York connecting Dan Speer with the
permanent receivership was a surprise here
and as yet he is net seriously considered.
Judge Pardee arrived to-night from New
Orleans. He was met at the depot by
Judge Speer who carried him home.

were Lieut. A. 8. Way of the Liberty In
dependent Troop: Sergt. W’hite, Light
Horse Guards, and CorpL J. F. Stone of the

The contest was finally narrowed down
to VV. J. Clark and G. W. Williams. In a
short while Williams mads a slight error,
and was ruled out, thus leaving W.J.
Clark tne winner of the company medal.

in his usual happy and eloquent style, intro
duced the sponsor and maids of honor to the

Their Btate Convention to Meet at
Colombia To-day.
Columbia, 8. C., March 23.—Delegates
from all parts of the state are crowding into
Columbia to-night to attend the state con
vention of those who are opposed to the
Tillmau administration and who seek some
method of defeating dim within the party
lines. Among them are many farmer Till
manites. The convention will be held to
morrow evening. F.xactly what is the pro
gramme has not been decided upon. At a
oauous to-night it was determined that steps
should bo taken by the convention toward
demanding a primary election for tne
nomination of state officers. It is the uni
versal tjplief among conservative meu of
both factions that a primary is the only
remedy for restoring peace. Gov. Tillmau
wheu a candidate demanded a primary, but
on being elected ho changed, and now re
fuses a primary to the outs.
THE STATE TICKET.
The oall for the convention, which meets
to-morrow, provides for nominating or sug
gesting a state ticket to be presented to the
regular state convention. To-night Col.
James L. OrT, the “Greenville giant,” is
the namo on every tongue as thejstandard
bearer, and if he can be prevailed upon to
give up an *B,OOO business, he will be nomi
nated for governor. It is probable
that Col. Lawrence W. Youmans
of Barnwell will be nominated for lieuten
ant governor. These would make a team
that it is believed would crush Gov. Till
man on the stump. Efforts are making to
arrange a discussion between Messrs. Orr
and Tillman. The governor to-night tele
graphed to Green villa that he would meet
Col. Orr on April 16.
COUNTING A QUORUM.
Senator Hill Says Czar Reed Btole the
Idea From Him.
Columbia, 8. C., March 33.— While pass
ing through South Carolina last Saturday
on his way baok to Washington Senator
Hill was interviewed upon general political
topics by the editor of the YVinnsboro News.
Speaking of Speaker Reed’s rulings in the
Fifty-first congress the senator said tbat he
had never taken any stock in the demo
cratio criticism of Mr. Reed’s method of
counting a quorum. "Iu fact,” said he,
“Mr. Reed stole tbat ruling bodily from
me. I ruled the same way against
the republicans when I was president
of the New York Senate. 1 had my
reasons entered on the journal and Mr.
Reed took them and made use of them in his
own case.” Senator Hill said that he might
have used this as capital for himself, but he
saw the Democratic party was being bene
fited by pitching into Speaker Reed’s posi
tion and he didn’t say auything about its
having been stolen from him.

the Old Parties.
Little Rock, Ark., March 23.— The
state central committee of the People’s
party has designated June 21 as the date
for the state convention. The committee
has issued the following address:
To the People of Arkansas:
On Feb. 22 last, at St. Louis, twenty organized
bodies of producers, representing a membership
of 5,000,000. agreed upon a declaration of prin
ciples and a plan of co operation in political
matters This platform demands only simple
justice for the men who produce all the wealth
of the country, and commends Itself to every
fair-minded patriot. In the f&oe of most unex
ampled production of all the necessaries
of life, our condition grows worse
year by year. The past presents a desolate sea
strewn with the wreckage of the fortunes of
our people. The future offers nothing better if
we ere to trust to our present leadership. Eight
years of Republican party rule bankrupted our
state Eighteen years of Democratic party rule
has resulted in the plunder of the state treasury,
a convict lease law and an Arkansas force bill
disguised as an election law. We appeal to you
as citizens of Arkansas and patriots. Upon
your decisiou lies the momentous issues of the
future.
M’BNBRY’a VICTORY.
The Btate Vote Will Not Cut Down
the Majority of New Orleans.
New Orleans , La., March 33.—The oleo
tion yesterday passed off very quietly.
New Orleans gives McEnery 11,362 start in
the race. The Times-Democrat this morn
ing says editorially: "Not only has the
Crescent City declared in favor of the levee
governor, but all that has yet been heard
from the parishes indicates that instead of
New Orleans’ majority for McEnery being
lessened by the county vote, it will be in
creased by that vote. There is thus a prac
tical certainty that the MoEnery ticket has
been elected by a majority
which will be at least 9,000,
and is more likely to be 10,000 or 13,000.”
The Picayune Bays: "There is no reason
to doubt tbat in the primary elections yes
terday Gov. McEnery with the ticket for
state officers, which he heads, has been de
cisively victorious. The McEnery ticket
has carried the city by about the same ma
jority as in the November primaries of last
year."

Tricks the Memory Plays.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Much has been written concerning the
ploasures of memory, but no one, it seems,
has cared to present the other side of the
subject. But there is another side to it.
Remembering when you are half way to
the opera that you have left your box
ticket at home upon your dressing tatdo,
and at the same time recollecting that the
overture was what you wisned especially to
hear, is an inoident not calculated to add to
the pleasures of memory. After you have
sent a bouquet to your lady love with a
note intimating that tbe flowers wore the
finest tbat could be purchased, but that you
oared not a cent for oxpeuses, it adds noth
ing to your pleasure to remember that the
florist’s card on which was writieu
‘•Twenty-five cents, collect,” was thought
lessly permitted to accompany the bouquet.

A COMANCHE STORY.
Dared to Hla Deatn a Brave Shows tbe
Fatal Way.
From the National Tribune.
A story told to many of us during tbs
campaign referred to, by one of the oldeet
of the Comencbee, the oldest Indian 1 have
ever seen, "Little Beaver,” of the Osagea, is
very interesting, showing to what an art
the despised savage of thirty years ago re
duced story-telling. The drled-up old war
rior prefaced hia tale by stating that be was
so aged, “ that he was brother of the highest
peak of tbe Wichita mountains,” at the
foot of which we were camped on a cold
December night in 1868. Here ia the story:
So many years ago that it seemed] like a
dream even to the narrator, the Comanobes
were the greatest tribe on earth. Their
warriors were as numerous as a tribe of
buffalo on the Arkansas in the fall. They
were more cunning than the coyote. Their
herd of ponies contained so many animals—
all fine and fat —that no man oould count
them in a year. All the other Indians of
the plains and mountains feared and trem
bled at tbe name of Comanche.
In the tribe, a- Is ever the case, there were
two warriors who excelled all the others in
their prowess. One was young and tbe other
middle-aged. They were very jealous of
each other, each constantly attempting some
deed of daring at which, it was hoped, the
rival would balk. One fall, when the Indian
Bummer made tbe air redolent with tbe
sweet perfume of thousands of flowers and
the mountains were bathed in the amber
mist of that delioiou* season, all the great
warriors were returning from one of their
most famous victories.
They camped under tne shadow of Medi
cone Bluff late one afternoon, where the
young brave, who was uuietly smoking his
pipe as he hovered over the little campfire
in which he was broiling a piece of ante
lope steak, happened to fix his gaze on the
highest point of tbe bluff, and iu that posi
tion continued for several minutes wrapped
in a most profound study, while all the rest
of the band stopped whatever they were
doing and gazed at him intently.
Suddenly he rose to his fnll hlght, and
casting a defiant look upon the warriors
scattered around on the grass, who, excited
at his strange manner, sprang up to learn
what he meant. Presently he turned his
face toward the sun, which was about two
hours high, and broke out with this boast:
"No warrior equals me! 1 am the greatest
of all the Gomancbes: I resemble that
mountain I” pointing with his spear to the
highest peak of Medicine Bluff. "My actions
are as far above yours as that mountain is
above the stream at its foot! Is there a
warrior here who dare follow me?”
Then he shook his Bpear and brandished
his shield in deflauce of any and all. 'His
rival was all the time swelling with rage
and pride. He knew the boast was Intended
for him alone, although he was tbe elder of
tbe two. He approached the braggart with
all the dignity of the savage that he was.
and striking himself on tbe bosom several
times, exclaimed:
“So? You are the greatest warrior of the
Comanchesi You are the buffalo that leads
the herd? lam the old bull to be driven
away by the cowardly ooyote and die, leav
ing my bones to whiten .< You ask me to
follow you. Never! I nover follow! I
will go with you?”
The remainder of tbe band gathered
around the two celebrated warriors. They
wondered what new deed of daring they
were going to attempt, as the revala ar
rayed themselves in their best buckskin
dress and mourned thair favorite ponies.
With shields held lu a defying position,
their faoes painted and their bonnets of war
eagle feathers ttowiug In the breeze they
rode away without another word.
They forded the stream. The youngest
now started up the difficult trail, which led
to the saored summit of the Medicine Bluff,
where, stopping his affrighted steed, he
pointed to the fearful precipice a few rods
off and exclaimed:
“You have followed me here; follow me
further.”
Then shouting the war-whoop, which
made the echoes of the mountains awaken,
and thumping the flanks of his|anlmal
vigorously, he darted toward the awful
brink. IBs rival instantly raised his pony
on his hind logs and with a whoop more
piercing followed the young man, who
when he had reached the edge of the preci
pice failed in oourage and pulled his pony
violently back on bis haunches. The elder
saw his chance. With an awful yell of de
fiance and triumph be forced his horse to
make the terrible leap in mid-air.
All the worriers on the grassy bottom be
low watched with eager interest what was
going on above them. They heard the
whoop of the aged worrier as he jumped
down the awful abyss. Tney saw him sit
as calmly as if in "lodge” as he descended,
seated as upright on his poney as if his ani
mal were walkiug the prairie, and, above
all they beard his clear voice as it rung out
in the clouds: "Greater than all the Com
anches.”
Sadly they wended their way to the foot
os the bluff, where both horse and brave
rider lay a mangled mass on the rocks, tha
old worrior with a smile on his wrinkled
face of unmistakable triumph.
The boasting rival became a wanderer
among the tribes. His name was accursed
of all Indians. The very dogs of the camps
snapped at him as he passed. At last, over
come with remorse at his cowardice and
treachery, he killed himself. One day he
was found dead on the grave of his rival at
the foot of the bluff. His body was eaten
by the coyotes; his shield and spear, by
which he had been identified, were lying on
the ground at bis feet.

DARE YOU BAT EGGS ?
And Feel Like a Murderer Every Time
a Hen Looks at Toil
From the Neu> York Sun.
At the Columbia restaurant in Fourteenth
street last night 135 vegetarians and their
friends dined well, but temperately, for $1
apiece. It was the first dinner of tbe New
York Vegetarian Society, aud almost all
the members were there. No wine was
served, and the only animal foods were but
ter and the eggs and milk in the bread, cake
and sauce. The bill of fare was soup,
cream of oelery, hors d’oeuvres, radishes,
olives, vegetables, oyster plant patties, with
sliced lemons, stewed parsnips, potato cckes,
macaroni with parmesan, baked potatoes,
sorbet La Favre, cepes broiled on toast,
Saratoga potatoes, boiled rice, lettuce salad;
dessert,tapiooa putting with whippedoream
sauce, ice cream, caikes, bon-bons, fruits,
salted almonds, coffee and chocolate.
After the dinner there were speeohes in
which the conscientious, economic, and
healthful features of vegetable diet were set
forth, one lady going to annoying length
and strength in urging the temperance
features, and another lady calling especial
attention to tbe apple, which she hailed as
the cause of the introduction of wisdom into
the world. But the conversations while the
potatoes and parsnips were disappearing
were more interesting than the speeches.
The women grew animated in describing
the revellings of horrid butchers in smoking
gore. The men ate steadily, and when all
the food in sight had vanished, looked hun
grily about for more. One thin man toward
the end of the table looked at the butter
angrily and snorted several times without
attracting much attention. Finally a fat
man who took a bit of butter and oalmly
put it on a piece of bread, was compelled to
pay attention to the snort whi h followed.
"What's the matter with you ?” said the
fat man, filling bis mouth with bread and
butter before shutting it.
“Butter !” said the thin man. “I’d as
lief eat an egg!"
The fat man looked all around to see that
none of the women was listening. Then ne
said in a hoarse and gleeful whisper:
“lid a damn sight rather.”
“What!” said the thin man. “You eat
eggs, and yet hate hatchers. If I ate eggs,
I’d feel like a murderer. Many a time a
hen looked at me.”
"Eggs ain’t alive. Eatin’ ’em ain’t killin’
uothin’,” said the fat man.
“It is potential murder. An egg is a
potentiality of animal existence,” and the
thin man indulged in a long and bitter
tirade against all eaters of eggs, butter,
cheese and milk.
The fat roan was subtle and foxy, but his
appetite and his ilesh interfered with his
arguments. And when the thin man hinted
in a loud voice that for his part he believed
no such mass of flesh as the fat man had
could be piled up on a vegetable diet, the
fat man looked guilty and held his peace.

A STARTLING FACT !
That verv few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need and to (it
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to uninstructed dealers are criminally
careless of the most valuable of all the senses,
their sight. In addition to graduating in Ger
many and my,thirty years practical experience,
I have taken a course and graduated in a
school of optics in New York and learned the
latest and best methodsof ascertaining the differ
ent defects of the eyes aud their proper correc
tion, so that I can fit you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your eyesight
instead of rapidly ruining it. as poorly'fitted
glasses will always do. No charge for ex
amination.
