GEORGIA NORTHERN LOSES.
Judge SpfiM Rnjolaa the Road From
Coiltructlai a Hranrh.
Albajty, Gil, April 16. —A case of
great interest to the people of this sec
tion of the state was argued here before
Judge W. N. Spenoe of the Albany cir
eult. The Tifton and Thomasrille Rail
way company has a charter to build a
line from Tifton to Thomasrille, via
Moultrie, and the projectors represent
that work on the road is soon to begin.
The Georgia Northern runs from Fid
cock, Thomas connty, through Moultrie
to Dalrun, Worth county, and is now
being graded on to Albany. A short
time ago the Georgia Northern com
pany announced that it would also con
struct a branch line from Moultrie to
Thomasrille, and prepared to begin the
work of gradiug at once.
The Tifton and Thomasrille Railway
company then applied to the courts for
an injunction against the Georgia
Northern to prevent the construction of
the proposed branch line, it being rt p
reaeuted that the two lines would run
aide by side for the entire length, and
that there would not be enough busi
ness for both.
As the Tifton 4>id Thomasrille Rail
way company's charter was the older,
it was prayed by tlie jtetitioners for in
junction to prevent the construction of
the other line from Moultrie to Thom
asville
The argument before Jndge Spence
lasted nearly six hours. Judge Spence's
decision was favorable to the Tifton and
Thomasville Railway com pan r. the in
junction against the Georgia Northern
to prevent construction of its line trom
Moultrie to Thomasville being granted.

PRIVATES BADLY TREATED.
Charges Drought Against Offlosrs It
the Second Louisian* Krgtmeat.
Savannah. April 18. The Second
1 Louisiana regiment was mustered out
of the service today. The regiment
went direct to New Orleans. Two
trains left on the Central of Georgia at
8 o’clock and one on the Georgia and
Alabama at 5 p. m. The two trams
which left by the Central will arrive at
New Orleans as one train about 1 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon. Most of the
officers of the regiment went to At
lanta, where they will remain for a few
dars.
Valentine Ryan, a private, commands
the Second while enroute to New Or
leans. There has been considerable talk
of serious differences between the offi
cers and enlisted men of the Second
Louisiana. Colonel Wood, command
ing, denies all trouble, but it is known
that there is triction between them.
Valentine Ryan says as soon as the
regiment reaches New Orleans a meet
ing will be held and action taken to
show the people of the Crescent City
how the men have been treated by the
officers
"For 11 months,” said Ryan, “the
, men have been ill treated and have
borne up under It well. At times the
officers have been shameful in their
treatment of us. ”
It was suggested that some of the
officers state that the trouble is confined
to a few men w ho will not receive hon
orable discharges from the service.
“I am one of the men inyself,” said
Rvan, “who will not get an honorable
discharge, but this is because I was
threatened with a conrtmartial for fil
ing charges against certain officers. ”
Ryan wired a lengthy telegram to
Adjutant General Corbin recently rela
tive to charges against some of the offi
cers of the regiment and the matter is
in his hands.

Hotel Is Quarantined.
Charlotte, N. C., April IC.—W. A.
Sossamou, commercial salesman, came
in from a trip Wednesday and went
to his boardinghouse sick. Later it de
veloped that he had a full grown case
of smallpox.
The Dixon House, where he stopped,
is near the center of the city and lias a
large list of boarders. All were promptly
quarantined and the house put under
guard.
Dr. Long of Statesville, the smallpox
inspector, is here today aiding the mu
nicipal autnorities in precautionary
measures. Mr. Sossamon will be sent
to the pesthouse, an institution built a
few days ago for such an emergency.
There is absolutely no alarm in town.
Vehicles pass along the street in front
of the quarantined house as usual. A
big yellow flag waves over the gateway.
The quarantined inmates spent the
afternoon on the front veranda und en
joying the spring air and carrying on
long distance conversations with ac
quaintances who would stop at the gate
to exchange greetings.
JOHNSTON TO ISSUE A CALL.
Extra Si sslou of the Legislature Will
He Assembled.
Montqomekt, Ala., April 18 —lt is
now certain that Governor Johnston
will, about Friday or Saturday, issue a
proclamation calling an extra session of
the general assembly to repeal the act
providing for the holding of a conven
tion to enact anew constitution for
Alabama. The executive sent a circu
lar letter to the members of the as
sembly some days ago asking their ad
vice as to assembling the legislature for
the purpose stated.
The replies so far received show the
senate to stand as follows: Fourteen for
rejieal, five against repeal, five doubtful
and nine to hear from.
Letters from representatives show the
house to stand as follows: Forty for re
peal, 25 against repeal, 11 doubtful and
24 to hear from.
The probabilities are strong that the
convention act will be repealed.

The I'nirniitly ItiiMMinn Sailor.
A real sailormau has fingers bent np
like fishhooks trom the lifelong habit of
gripping things. The Russian sailor
carries his hands like a soldier and can
not possibly be “handy.” A sailor’s
gait ashore lias a slight roll. This arises
from the need at sea of keeping np the
windward side of a rolling ship. And
the ’•oiling gait marks one of a sailor’s
finest qualities—balance. Unless the
body balances and poises to meet every
motion of a ship the result is seasick
ness.
Now, the Russian bluejacket does not
roll in his gait ashore, but marches.
Neither has he any sense of balancing
at sea and seasickness in the Russian
fleet is a sonrce of actual weakness and
danger. The Black sea squadron can
only put to sea in the three calmest
months of the summer, and the so called
maneuvers take place ashore on the
Kenai peninsula, consisting mainly of
battalion drill.
One more trait of the real sailor is his
self reliance, which makes him fit for
facing emergencies single handed. But
the Russian bluejacket has none of this.
He is not a machine in himself, but
only a little bit of a machine which
cannot work without the other bits. He
is huge in stature—a giant compared
with our men —but in his winter over
coat it is impossible to distinguish him
from a soldier. Unhandy, seasick and
reliant only in drill discipline, he is ut
terly unfit for active service.—London

Large Hewurd For Sam Hor.
Palmetto, Ga., April 19.—A price oi
$1,250 has been placed on the bead of
Sam Hose, the negro who a week ag<
killed Parmer Cranford and assaulted
his wife near this town. The Atlanta
Constitution today offered $5OO in adai
tiou to the snin the state and citiw n *
propose to give. There is a well defied
impression abroad that Hose has eitb ol
boarded a train and is beyond the bor
ders of the state or has succumbed to
exhaustion and is dead. It does n fl
seem possible that if he is still alive an
in the state he should have thus far
caped.
