Attorneys for the water company Ho said that the paper which had been sent before Judge Littlejohn contained the statement than 'he laying of the tracks might prevent the water com pany from nccesH to the valves when they would need repairs. He stated that arrangements were being made by the street railway company to put cars on these tracks at least every five minutes and It would he almost Impossible to get to the valves with out serious delay to the one company or the other when such work was to be done. This otTIclal also stated that shout three werkn ago the water eemapny had made an effort to settle the dif ferences by allowing the street rail way company to deflect the main about three feet so that It would fall on the outside of the track. The wa ter company wanted the street rail way company to do this at Its own expense or allow the water company to remove the main and charge the expense of such work to the street railway company. The water main Is about three feet under the pavement nnd the official of the water company stated that the cost would have reached possibly one or two hundred dollars. He further charged that the street railway com pany had refused to pay any atten tion to the offer and had proceeded with tfle work and the resort to the law was then made. The work on the double tracks hus been continued by the street railway company at another point further up the avenue. The rails were al ready bolted down wh#*r<s they were torn up nnd the pavement would have *»K»n been replaced. It Is now await ing th** further action of the courts or the officials of the two companies. There had t»een a conference yester day nnd officials of both companies talked of an agreement. This was not reached, but the conference at which It Is expected that some agreement will be reached will bo held some time today. In the event of reaching on agreement today, or within any time before next Raturday, there will be no further legal fight over the matter and both companies will occupy the avenue upon the conditions reached In the agreement. ; league was opened I SETTLEMENT OF WITH LARGE SCORES Mseon Finished Fourth In the Games Laet Night—Charleston* First; Atlanta,\ Sec. ond, and Columbus Third. The formal opening of the Southeastern Bowling League took place last night and very creditable showings were made by each teem In the circuit The hlgheat score was rolled by Charleston, Macon finishing fourth. 248 ptns behind the lead ers. This game was merely the opening, and many changes in the positions or the clubs are due to take p.ace before the season is at It* height The local club was handicapped by the absence of two good men, who wifi doubtless be In the next game. These men were Merritt and Baldwin. . A . Quite u surprise was sprung by the work of the Columbus team. The returns from the other cities came In rapidly, and the result of the opening nlpht was known before the last game had been finished. How They Finished left the city yesterday morning with the paper and reached Judge Little john In time to return the telegraphic Information that he had algned the pa per by the time the street force in the laying of 'he double tracks began work. Judge William II. Felton own* a large part of the stock of the water com pany nnd was disqualified to pass up on the tem|»orary bill of Injunction. Attorneys for the water company left the city yenlerdny morning at 4 o'clock for America*. While they were nbrent from the city and some time during the approach of dawn two of the long bars which had been re cently laid In the double tracking on Cotton avenue were torn up and thrown from their places. Luring the time men had appeared on the grounds wtth loirs and ripped up the rolls. These were heavy and large long rails The work during the quiet hours of ^hc night had disturbed no one and at tention wna not attracted to the work. In front of the Handers Furniture store one of the rolls was taken up and placed bark near the curbing. Another had been torn up In front of th«* build ings further up the avenue. At both of these spots the wafer company had openings to the valves plneed In the main. The first mentioned had been removed slightly by the street force employed In laying the rails. The oth er further up the avenue was pushed to one side so that the rail could be laid without a bend. The last valve opening was moved about two Inches, hut th** other wen considerably chang ed In location. The mils are now lying where they were placed by the unseen men who did the work In the r.lght. The valve openings arc reputed nnd the entire work of double tracking at this point fa stopped. Yesterday morning a ruan was seen to leave the spot with a bar on his shoulder. He wna wrapped In a heavy overcoat and appeared to be a member of the force employed by the ■tree railway company In lighting the lamps that go out at night.

Vernon Extension rail way is being made over Its line now completed *57 miles, from Barrow's Bluff, on the Ocmulgee river,' to Nash ville. via Broxton. This menns more for Broxton and surrounding section than to any other, for to Broxton It means that Broxton will soon have the advantages afforded by the Introduc- tlon of Bouthern Express and Western Union telegraph service, besides the reduction of freight nnd passenger rates and the advantages of better connections.

This year Broxton had only one sermon each month at the Methodist church, but next year there will be preaching here every Sunday. The recent conference at McRue gave Broxton two preachers. Rev. II. C. Brewton and Rev. P. 8. Wall. Eigh teen months ago the Baptists had only one member within the present limits of Broxton, but *0 rapid has immigra tion been to this place within that time that now the Bapttat church of Broxton Is the finest house of worship In Coffee county, and has one of the largest memberships. Rev. P. B. But ler. formerly of Elbert county, is the new pastor. Thousands of fruit tree# are being planted around Broxton. and the new railroad facilities will soon make fruit-growing the leading Industry of this section, as peaches grow to per fection here, and ripen ten to 15 days sooner than the peaches of any other iection of Georgia. This will enable Broxton growers to get their ship ments In the Northern and Eastern markets at the time when highest prices will be paid. Travelling men say that there Is more building going on In Broxton than Id any town of less than 15,000 people in Georgia. There la a great cry for more carpenters, and the sup ply for residences for rent, although a new one Is begun nearly every day. Is wholly Inadequate to the demands of newcomers.
