brought distant relatives into personal

WANT PAY FOR ARC LIGHTS.
The Brush Company Trying to Collect
an R. and D. Bill From the Central.
The Master In Chancery Reported
That the Liability Was on the Rich
mond and Danville, and the Plain
tiffs Excepted -The Exceptions
Overruled Because They Failed to
Set Forth the Testimony Referred to.
The Petition May Be Amended—A
Mortgage Foreclosed.
The intervention of the Brush Electric
Light Company in the case of Rowena
Clarke against the Central Railroad and
Banking Company was taken up in the
United States court yesterday.
The intervention claims that the Cen
tral railroad is due the company *1,295 25,
its bill for arc lights on the property of
the railroad during the months of De
cember, 1891, and January and February.
1892, during which time the Central was
in possession of the Richmond and Dan
ville railroad.
The intervention was referred to Mr.
George W. Owens the master in chancery
in all these matters, and after taking
testimony and examining the facts in the
case be reported that the liability rested
with the Richmond and Danville railroad
and not with the Central.
TOOK EXCEPTIOXS TO THE REPORT.
To this report the Brush Electric Light
Company, represented by Mr. A. Minis,
filed a bill' of exceptions, setting forth
certain facts, and referring to theevi
denee in support of those facts by the
number and page in the written testi
money. The Central, through its attor
neys, Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham,
moved that these exceptions be dismissed,
on the ground that the bill did
not set forth the testimony referred
to in support of the facts
claimed. Judge Speer granted the motion,
and the bill was dismissed, but
the plaintiffs have been given an oppor
tunity to amend their exceptions, which
will probably be done to-day. The Rich
mond and Danville railroad has also filed
a bill of exceptions to the finding of the
master, disclaiming any liability on the
bill for lights, and the ease may be an in
terest.ng one before it is concluded.
The.e are just 140 interventions on the
docket in the Rowena Clarke case, most
of which have been referred to the mas
ter for a report. Few of them, however,
have been reported on to the court. The
intervention docket was called by Judge
Speer, and the progress made on them
was reported to the court. A number of
them were ordered referred to the master.
A MORTGAGE FORECLOSED.
A final decree was taken in the suit of
Edwards. Trenholm & Cos. vs. Virginia L.
Hinson. The suit was brought to fore
close a mortgage on some property in
Clinch county belonging to the defendant,
and the court granted a decree of fore
closure in favor of the mortgage held by
the plaintiff. The property involved
amounts to *6,509 16, on which interest
must be paid from Jan. 1, 1893.
The traverse jurors in the district and
circuit courts were summoned yesterday,
and the grand jury will be summoned to
day.
The traverse jurors of the district court
areas follows: Messrs. J. L. Wilkes,

SHAD COMING IN NOW.
The Season Just Opening Facts
About the Fish.
Savannah river shad are now coming
into the market. The shad season is very
late this year. Usually the Florida shad
begin coming into market in December
and the Georgia shad about Jan. 1. Very
few Florida shad were received this sea
son and the Georgia shad have only just
begun to come in.
The Florida shad are cot so large as the
Georgia shad nor of as fine flavor, and are
commonly known as hickory shad. The
Savannah river shad are said by epicures
to he the finest in the world. It is the
largest fish entering the rivers in this
section in any quantity. The ordinary
fish run from four to six pounds, with oc
casional specimens reaching seven and
eight pounds. A large sized shad is a
very handsome fish.
The shad is an inhabitant of the sea,
but ascends the rivers along the coast in
spring to spawn. They will not take a
hook, much to the regret of sportsmen,
but are easily caught in nets stretched
across the streams.
The shad is considered by many the
finest fish that comes to this market.
The season is very short, beginning as it
does in January and ending in March. The
laws are very stringent with regard to
catching them, the state law specifying
that they shall be caught only from
Monday morning to Friday night, thus
allowing the fish forty-eight hours each
week in which to escape the nets set to
intercept them. This enables a sufficient
number of the fish to proceed to their
spawning beds and lay the foundation for
the next year’s supply.
The shad roe or eggs which are ob
tained from the female fish areconsidered
quite a delicacy. Savannah is well sup
plied with shad from the Savannah and
Ogeechee rivers. The supply is not only
sufficient for the local marttet but large
quantities are shipped out by the dealers
to supply the country for several hundred
miles around. The shad ascend the Sa
vannah river as high up as Augusta aud
the business of catching them is quite an
industry at this season.

of the Wheelmen's Track Association will
beheld Thursday night,at Richmond's
Institute. Officers will be elected and a
report will be presented showing the
condition of the association.
The stone paving where the South

the removal of the unsightly trolley wire
pole, along the green, takes away the
last obstruction of the street by the Elec
tric line.
The pastor’s study of the Christian
church, on Bolton street, was robbed a

thief, of a couple of dictionaries and the
pulpit Bible. Both of the dictionaries

other in a pawn shop. The purpose of
the thieves seemed to have been to get to
the church, communion silver, which was
locked up.

FLORIDA'S ORANGE GROWERS.
A State Convention to Be Held at
Ocala on Feb. 6.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. 23.—Among the in
terested parties at a large and enthusi
astic meeting of orange growers to-day
at the Ocala house were; Gen. Bullock.
Myron Gillett, F. C. Buffum, Maj.
Magruder. Maj. Rooks, S. W. Teague.
Judge Bullock, R. L. Anderson and'George
Campbell
Gen. Bullock, presided, and Mr. Gil
lett was secretary.
The object of the meeting was to take
some steps to protect the orange interests
in Florida. Unless this is done these men
contend that the $30,000,000 invested in this
industry by over 6.000 growers, and the
30,000 laborers employed by it, must look
elsewhere. They also claim that the or
ange and lemon interests of Florida can
not continue to exist in competition with
foreign fruit that costs $1 to bring to New
York, where Florida's costs $1.50. In
viewiofithis startling and serious question
this meeting to-day, called a meeting of
the orange growers of Florida in Ocala,
FeD. 6. and requested that Dudley Ad
ants, of Orange county, address the' meet
ing on this vital subject to Florida fruit
growers.
Judge Bullock and R. L. Anderson will
draw up an address to-night for the
press of the state to publish.
The committee to prepare matter for
discussion and action at the February
meeting are Gen. Bullock, Judge Bullock,
Maj. Rooks, Mr. Buffum, atid Mr. Gillett.
Every orange grower who lias heard the
views of the meeting is earnest for action.
Circulars stating the orange case ace to
be sent to every grower in the state ask
ing his presence at the meeting. They
will also be sent to every state for publi
cation. M -

A Woman Assaulted Violently With
, a Club.
Melrose, Fla., Jan. 23,—Mrs. McCreery,
wife of the section boss on the G. S & F.
R. R., at Brookline station, was attacked
by a negro tramp yesterday morning,
while engaged in her housework, and
nearly killed. She was sweeping, and
turned around to find herself facing a
negro man. who struck her a violent blow
on the head with a club. She screamed
and called to a negro woman who lived
in one of the section houses near by, and
this probably saved her life. After she
screamed he struck her again and left. She
has a wound on the top of her head
about three inches long and another in
the forehead above the left eye about
two inches long, both laying' the bone
bare. Dr. Frank Mcßae reports the
skull fractured by the blow in front and
considerable hemorrhage from ears and
nose, but thinks she will recover. The
negro had not been arrested at last ac
counts.

known as the reform democrats, and
the representatives present represent
districts that wore carried by the same
wing of the party.
PRIM SKIES INSTEAD or A CONVENTION - .
There are two factions in the state ad
vocating different policies, the one favor
ing a convention in the spring for the
purpose of nominating candidates to go
before the primaries, aqd the other favor
ing a free-for-all race at. primaries
to be held during the month of
August. The members of the caucus
agreed that it would be better not to hold
a convention for the reason that it would
look as if the attempt was being made to
forestall the people in their choice, and
the prithary form of selecting candidates
will be recommended. It is under
stood that this result was
not reached without a heated
discussion. and it was said
that Representative McLaurin, because
of an allusion to one of his friends, who
belonged to the third party, withdrew
front the conference before any conclu
sion was reached; not, however, until lie
had replied to the statement made by Mr.
Irby, who is credited with having made
the speech at which Mr. McLaurin took
offense.
NEW JERSEY’S TWO SENATES.
The Republicana Decline to Abide by
an Agreement.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 23.-Alov. Werts. it
is reported, has asked Attorney General
Stockton to tile an information before
Chief Justice Beasley as a basis for quo
wairanto proceedings in the supreme
court, to settle the senatorial dispute, and
the chief justice has been requested to
call an extraordinary session of the court
to settle the question. It was understood
that this move was made ,by the deino
eratt, that the republican senators would
agree to the programe and abide bytlie de
cision of the supreme court, but late this
afternoon they announced that they had
not agreed to the proposition and that,
all of them would not do so. On
the other hand, they intend to pass cer
tain bills of a reform nature, let the gov
ernor do as he sees fit about considering
them and adjourn, keeping the session
alive, however, until the next election.
The supreme court, they hold, has no au
thority in the matter, anyhow. To agree
with the programme in question would be
to abandon their position. They will op
pose the service of papers on them and
obstruct the proceedings in every way
possible. If the democrats want to test
the constitutionality of the republican
Senate, a better way, the latter hold,
would he to carry up any of the bills they
intend to pass and get a decision on that.
