51 ItH. HOPPIE HAPPY,
Judge Calhoun Decide, that She Keep the
Children—Sira. Hoghee'* oanghter.
Atlanta, December 22.—Ordinary Cal-
honn disposed of two habeas corpus cues
is-dnv, The first consisted only of render
ing a'decision in one case which was tried
yesterday. This was the ease of Uts. Louisa
Hughes against Chief Connolly for the pos
session of her nine-year-old daughter, Lillian
Bay Hughes. The child had been taken
from its mother by the Chief, who believed
that the mother was an improper character
to keep and rear the child.
Ordinary Cnlbonn agreed with him by
■ending the little girl to the Woman’s Home
on Maiietla street where she will be cared
for until a bettor disposition can be made of
her.
The second cue was a writ leaned at the
instance of George E. Hoppie, a prominent
broker of this city, who naked that bis two
little boys, one 5 and the other 2 years of
sge, then in the enstody ot their mother, be
given bim,
Mr. Hoppie claimed that bis wife bad left
him and obosen the company other mother
in preference, with whom Mr. Hoppie do
clued be had much trouble since be mar
tied into the family. He says that Mrs.
Butler, bis tnother-io-law, had once stated
that she would sooner have a snako in the
tons; than Mr. Uoppio. The plaintiff in
the anit alio stated that bis wife s enr-
roundings were inch that it was perfeo ly
impossible for bim to live with her, and
that he had made all aorta of proposition!
to restore peace and haimony and avoid
bringing their private matters betore the
publio. One of them was
that be take one ot the
children and leas, bis nils tbs other, all of
abich proposi'ions abe refused to nccepb
Mrs. Butler, Mm. Hopple and her (liter,
Miss Butler testified that Mr. Hoppie bad,
npon certain occuions, treated bia wife
badly, and that ho »ns not tha kind if a
man to taka obarga of two small children
and rear them t ropetly.
After bearing the av. Janoo and argument,
Jn'go Calhoun docid d that in view ot the
age of the children, five and two, the mother
was likely to take better eare of them than
the father, and therefore decided In favor of
Mm. Hoppie.

Lively Street Railroad War -Three Doomed
Central Directors.
Savannah, December 22.—A lively atreet
railroad war ia in prrspeet here. The
liars] llesort Railroad Company is a new
concern whioh baa begnn the oonstrnctinn
of opposition lines tbrengh the city. Ujth
of tbe old companies are making a fight
against tbe corporation for tbe purpose of
shutting it ont of the streets. The City
and Suburban Railway Company, whioh
owna the principal system of line*, baa
been foromoat in tbe fight, and papers were
served on tbe attorn eye for the new com-
pany to-day. The oity is made a party in
theoase, having grant.d the company per
mission to lay its tracks, and the oity coun
cil la treated as a court from wbich
an appeal is taken to the Superior
Conrt. The oase will not be
beard nntil the spring term, bnt
an ir junction will be applied for at once to
stop the new road f rom laying its tracks.
About three miles of traok bavo already
been laid through the heart of the city,
CENTRAL BTOCK HOLDERS.
The Central railroad stockholders did not
hold their annual meeting to-day, aa a quo
rum was not present. General Alexander
waa expected to-day, bnt did not arrive.
Tbe directors’ eleotion will t ke place on
January 2d. Ten of tbe present board will
bo re-elected, while three will not serve
another year. Thera are evidences of a
mild conleat going on. Proxies are being
solicited by Messrs. 0. H. Phinizy, Pat Cal
honn and one or two others of tbe board.
Since the last election the Inman family
has been weloomcd into tbe Central home-
hold. Peny Belmont is also
a large shareholder. These powerful fami
lies do not believe in capitalizing without
representation. Id consequence of this
S rineiplo, it has been decided that Samuel
1. Inman and HughT. Inman, of Atlanta,
and Walter Lnttgen, of New York, the
young partner of Perry Bolmont, shall have
seats sronnd the direotors' board.
THIS ASIANS
that three of tbe present directors will not
continne m offioe. Who they will be boa
been a question of much speculation lately.
Messrs. C. H. Phinizy, of Atlanta, and C. It.
Wends and Henry Blun. of Savannah, are
named as the gentlemen who will not serve
dnring tbe coming year. Th^ ticket mads
np in New York recently is represented to
be as follows: E. P. Alexander, Samnel U.
Inman, Hugh T. Inman, Walter.Lnttgen,
E. M. Green, J. J. Wilder, J. K. Garnett,
A. E. Mills, Abraham Vetsburg, Patrick
Calbonn, U. B. Harrold, H. B. Hollins and
John 0. Calhoun. This will give Savannah
six, New York three, Atlanta three and
Americas one dircotor. It ia not likely that

Chief Engineer Arthur In Navannah-Tho
Complaint- Humors of a Strike.
Savannah, I) camber 21.—Chief Engineer
Arthur, of tbe Brotherhood of Looomotive
Eogineers, is in the city to-night, and will
hold a conference with the Savannah,
Florida and Western Bsiiwsy officials to
morrow morning end attempt the adjust-
ment ot differences between the road and
its engineers. Tbe main question involved
ia one of salary. Eogineers on the Savan
nah, Florida and Western are graded, not
aeoordiog to their work, but aooording to
tbe number of yeers they have been with
the road. What tbe brotherhood deelres
to abolish Is tho grading according to term
ol service, principally, and secondarily “
wants to effeo*. an increase
of thirty centa a day in the wages of the
men. The railroad cfflciala o'aim that thry
are doing all they can for tbe men; ibatthey
•how them the greatest consideration pos
sible, and endeavor to aid them in every
way they can. They dtanot permit heads
of departmoDts to discharge (or alleged
violation of ru es, bnt require that tha
offend, r be given a bearing. The
flues which they Impose do not go into
the oompany'e treasury, bnt into the treas
ury of an sue elation, whose pnrpoae ie k
give relief to those wbo are sick and bnry
those who die,
Aa to wages, Ibe officials of Ihe road ad
mit there ia a difference between those psid
by the Central and tbe Savannah, Florida
and Western, bnt they say tbatiadne to tho
difference in tbe earnings of the roads.
Chief Arthnr was seen iste to-night and
was aaked his views in regard to
tbe situation. The Central engineers,
he said, received font dollars a day, and he
oenld not see why those on the Savannah,
Florida and Western, wbo do th* asm*
work, ahonld not receive the asms pay.
The engineer! on that road make 179 miles
a day, and the bigbeetaelary, 13 70 per day,
only amonnta to abont two cento a mile,
while the Loniaville and Nashville gpd Mo
bile end Ohio pay font centa
to freight and three cents to
pasieogsr engineers, and Atlsntio
Coast Line pays font cento for freight
and 2 C centa for pasungor. Cbitf Arthnr
•aid be has noted that tbe Central and the
Savannah, Florida and Weakra have made
reciprocal agreements aa to bostons, and
he did not see wby they ooold not do ao aa
to wages.
The reanlt ot to-morrow’s conference
will determine what Is to be done. Toere

Experimenting With tbe Royal lUooil.
Vienna, Deoember 22.—A dispatch to the
Nin Free Preare f.om Milan says that on
the advioe of English pbyalcians the Ger
man Crowd Prince’s neck has been cupped
and Dr. Krause is having tbo blood thus
obtained analyzed at tbo Milan labratory in
order to ascertain whether it oontairsan
excess of sugar or whether it is to a healthy
state. If it proves to oootaln too muoh
sugar the physicians will decide to adopt
the treatment advised by Dr. Freunde, of
Vienne, which has in view the rednotion of
anger in the blood to tbe noimal quantity.
Dr. Frennds's theory is that the blood of
patients suffering from oanoer contains an
abnormal quantity of anger, and that can
cercas growths may be destroyed by re
daction of tbe amount of anger.

In Ihe house with her lived a oolored man
by tbe name of James Jeter, or Gaston Jeter
be was sometimes called. A day or two
after the death of tho woman some cf herrel-
etlves searched tbe house and her effects for
$200 whioh ihe dead woman was known to
have abont tbe lime of her death. The
money had been paid her by a railroad eom-

day. If be committed legal treason why
waa be not tried for tho crime? Tbe Re
publicans, who held every brunch Of the
government, can answir at their leisure;
