POLICE COURT.
The Case for Obstructing the
Strpet Disposed of—Other
Cases.
The case of the city vs. engineer
Love, and conductor Bly, of train No.
17, for obstructing Madison and
Broad streets, came up in the police
court yesterday morning. The case
has been considered a test case, and
has attracted considerable attention.
The gentleman who reported the case
to the city, noticed tho time tho streets
named were obstructed, and it was
over twenty minutes. The town or
dinance prohibits trains blocking the
streets longer than five minutes. Con
ductor Bly stated that the road’s rules
were limited to ten. Both engineer
and conductor did not deny- that the
streets mentioned were obstructed over
the limit. The trouble seems to be
that the city ordinance and the com
pany^’s rules conflict. Mayor Hopkins
of course cannot reconize a corpora
tion’s rules as law, and the employes
will have to take the consequence.
The case was clearly made out, and
engineer Love was fined '81 and
cost*, and conductor Bly 85 and costs.
' Only one or two other cases were
before the Mayor. Bill Gray was up
for disorderly conduct, but was dis
charged. One or two street defaul
ters were also given a hearing.
A fine of 85 and costs was rendered
against a citizen for failing to obey a
police summons as witness in the rail
road case.

the franchise committee was exhausted

ments were voted down, and the sec
tion was adopted by the usual ma
jority. It reads os follows:
Sec. 5. On and after the first day
of January, A. D. 1896, the following
qualifications are added to the fore
going : Every qualified elector shall
be able to read any section of the
constitution of this state, or he shall
be able to read to understand the
same when rend to him, or given a
reasonable interpretation thereof. A
new registration shall be made before
the next ensuing election after these
qualifications are established.
Charley Crisp gave Autocrat Reed
a piece of his mind yesterday.
Among other things he said:
The speaker is not master of the
House; he is the servant of the
House.
Tbo Speaker—The gentleman from
Georgia need not recommence.
Mr. Crisp—The gentleman from
Georgia will always insist upon his
rights, and see that no tyrant takes
them away from him.
The Speaker—The gentleman from
Georgia will take hi» seat.
My. Crisp—Of course he will, but
he will always resent sueh remarks.
The Anti-Lottery Bill.
The anti-lottery bill which passed
the Senate on Tuesday, and which now
only needs the signature of the Presi
dent to become a law, is the severest
blow lottery companies have yet re
ceived. The bill eloses the mails to
all lotteries and gift enterprises. They
cannot have their circulars, nor their
advertisement in the newspapers, sent
through the mails. They cannot use
the money order service nor can they
have money for lottery tickets sent to
them, or to any bank or person for
them, through the mails. In fact, the
bill aims to keep everything pertain
ing to lotteries and gift enterprises out
of the mails.—News.
This is one good bill. Give the
devil his due.
A Cyclone In Iowa.

cicault, the playwright, died to-night

From Torrid Heat to Arctic Cold.
Palmvra, Wis., Sept, ij —The
mercury indicates sixty-five degrees
fall of temperature within three days.
Frost fell in this vicinity the last two
nights. Last week the heat was ;o
severe that large numbers of swine iq
Sullivan lownship, a (ew iqifeq portb,

The Rev. Dr. Tfllrangc, having re
turned from a long tour of the South,
saysi "All over the South I found a

fcAft of tty Central-Hudson Strike,
Albany-, N. Y..Sept. ij.—An order
declaring the New York Central strike
off was read this morning in every lo-
e-»l assembly between New York and
Buffalo. It emanated from headquar
ters and District Assembly No, 346.
The Whigtyw Advance says;
There is a rumor afloat that Thom
as county is seeking to annex a strip
of Decatur. Wo also learn that most
of the people living on this strip are
in favor uf tty change, but we do not
think that Decatur county will agree
ta part with some of her very best cit
izens and lose a portion of her finest
territory.
The air is full of railroad rumors.
The big systems are watching each
other like hawks.
The democrats in congress have re
sorted to kicking; at least Kilgore, of
Texas, has. The big footed Texan
can kick down a door without half an
effort. Keep up the kicking. And
this reminds us that Reed richly de
serves a kicking, whether he gets it
or not.
The Albany News and Advertiser,
says >
"Republican Boss Macune, he who
hates cotton seed oil and is devoted to
the Western hog, is distinctly and un
equivocally informed that Georgians
can run their own politics.”
A republican journnl claims that
Reed is the biggest man who ever
filled the speakers chair, except J. G,
Blaine and Henry Clay. Yes, he
is,-«when you oome to weigh the
beefy man from Maine.
The danger of cigaretto smoking
lies in* its pernicious action upon the
brain and heart. This explains why
the habits is so seldom fatal to dudes.
—Baltimore American.
First burglar: Good Lord 1 let’s
run; here comes some one! Second
burglar 5 O, come on ; it’s only a po
ltceman,—Hoosier.
Politics is warming up in Georgia.
The senatorial question is furnishing
the fuel. And the pot’s a boiling.
The senate has revived the grade of
lieutenant general. For whose honefit
was this done?
Albany is on a genuine boom.
Only genuine booms aro good.

A LITTLE CHAT-WITH PABENTS.
Topic-School Suits.
We do not advance the argument
that school boys should be provided
with new clothes merely because tho
school season has opened—Parents of
course— arc the judges concerning
tho requirements of their children—
We refer especially to school suit4—
because—in the natural order of
things—almost every boy needs new
clothes at this—the fag end of the
summer reason—and the harbinger
of coming cooler weather—when
stouter aud warmer jackets and pants
will be required—
There isn’t any marked point of
difference hstween school suits aud
dress suits—save—that—the former
are made from more durable and
serviceable materials of dark shades
—fabrics that arc more celebrated for
wearing qualities than “pretty”
looks—
Our prices are so absurdly low that
it might suggest tho remark—“too
theap to be ijootl'—
We have never yet falsified a single
line of our announcements in our
twenty-five years business here—and
with the past fulfillment of every
promise ns an assurance of our integ-
rity—you can justly feel encouraged
to visit our Juvenile Department—and
form yourown conclusions ns the truth
of our assertions—
A promise—with us—always pre
supposes fulfillment—This rule is
infallible—When you have the pledge
of this house upon any point yon
know you may rely upon its execu
tion—equally particular are we not to
mislead you by extravagant declara
tion—We never pass the reins of fact
into the hands of * carries* speech”—
Our shelves full of childrens cloth
ing—in themselves—constitute Jan at
traction for all economical buyers—
and fittingly celebrate the blending of
u florid summer ami cliamjeful Au
tumn.”—
