Florida Central end Peninsular North *r,<i South trains, between Jacksonville *) Savannah ran over the Plant System y-a, k' last night, and will probably run th* way to-day. A freight train went through a trestle over White Oak creek, nea r White Oak station in Camden coun tv yesterday, blocking the track for some distance. Xo one was killed, and so far as could be learned, no one was injured in the wreck. It will take some time, however, to clear the track, and repair the trestle. In the meantime, trains wiil run via the Plant SyMem. Train 66, due in Savannah at 31:50 o'clock last night, came that way, end train 27, from Savannah to Jackson ville. went out over the Plant System.

Injunction ami Land Uomc on Trial in the Superior Court. The case of Florence N. Chambers against Dixon, Mitchell & Cos. was on trial in the Superior Court yesterday and tthen tiie recess was taken last night had not yet been concluded. The case Kill lx* taken up again this morning and endea during the day. i je < aso is based upon a petition for an injunction, tiled by the plaintiff against the defendants, seeking to restrain them from uesp3ssing upon lot 4C9 of the Thir teenth district of Clinch county, which the plaintiff claims as her property. It is alleged in the original petition that the defendants had entered upon the proper ty and cut a quantity of timber, and that they were building a tramway through it, to the damage and wrong of th* rightful owner. She asks that the trespass be perpetually enjoined and that damaged be allowed for the injury to the property alleged to have been already torn rnit ted. Plain iff and defendants claim the pr.p e.ty under diverse titles, running back to the original grant fiom the state. That h*li by the do • nrlants is attacked by tie 1 Plaintiff as fraudulent and both fraud tnd forgery are imputed to the defend ms’ grantor, T. W. Griffin. The defend ants’ claim is two-told; first, that Grif fin had a perfectly good paper title to the property, ami. second, that he entered \';*>n the property under a c’aim of right And has been in continuous, peaceable, public and undisputed possession for more than seven years. I* is alleged that this peaceable possession, under a claim of title, for more than sevfn years, gives a good title, whether the titl of Griffin was good in the lirst instance or not. To br< ak down ibis title it is necessary for the plaintiff to show that Griffin’s origrial ent’y upon the property was r.o‘ In g od faith and this charge was made and evidence in supr>ort of it offered. The i la In' iff is represented by M ssrs. Toomer and Reynolds rf Waycrosi, and Alexander & Hitch, while the defendants are represented by M* ssrs. W. G. Char tou and S. T. Kinsbury & Son. Mr. Toomer made the cr> n ng argument to tie jury, and Mr. Charlton was in the midst of his when the recess was taken STYLES WAS GIVEN A YEAR. .Indge Norwood Added It to His Sen tence From the Recorder. Judge Norwood yesterday sentenced Gwen Styles, a negro of doubtful profes sion and rather less doubtful antecedents, to serve, twelve months on the chain-gang for carrying concealed weapons. Styles' offense was aggravated by his actions at Lincoln Park and on a car returning to th city on the night of the Fourth. On this occasion he had cursed and beat en a w man, blackguarded everyone who trPd to protect her or to keep him quiet, drawn a revolver in the street car and threatened to terminate the existence of one of the i>aa. c erigiTS, and acted gener ally as if he were ’a had. had man.” and warned everybody to know* it. When he was arra gned before Recor der llartridge he succeeded in impressing the Recorder with a sufficient amount of appreciation of his depravity to warrant a sentence of thirty days. He was also turned over to the City Corn t. and Judge Norwood on yesterday added twelve months to the sentence. The other cases tried at the weekly criminal session of the City Court were Sot of interest or importance, the defend ants being charged with exceedingly petit larceny. There were about half a dozen of these cafes, and in mest of them the defendants were sent to the gang for ranging from three monts to a year.

Ranine** Men HlMgrantled llecnuse of the Silver Plank, Bat the Hank and File of the Pnrty Will Take Thta Along With the Rent—(on grenmnan Lester Think* the Ticket Will Come a* Near Winning nn any the Democrats Could Have Put Ont—lmperialism the Main Is sue and Silver Kept Strictly In the Background. The Kansas City Convention could not be said to be exactly the absorbing topic in Savannah yesterday, but still its action was very generally discussed. Mr. Steven son is not particularly a favorite here. The majority of Savannah Democrats would have preferred Hill as giving something of a conservative tone to the ticket with some assurance of carrying New York state. Stevenson, it is generally acknowl edged, is likely to prove a more satisfac tory man than Towne, and as Bryan has to have a running mate is about as good a selection as could have been made and a good deal better than some. Neither the ticket nor the platform, it must be acknowledged, has excited any particular enthusiasm in Savannah yet. The business men are considerably dis gruntled because of the 16 to 1 plank. Very few of those who were seen yesterday had read the platform. They had simply noticed from the headlines that 16 to 1 was in it and that was enough for them. They had entirely overlooked the fact that im perialism is made the leading issue and that the plank is as strong a presentation of this question as it could possible be made. It is the first issue presented, and occupies a fnil column of the Morning News, while 16 to 1 is buried in a para graph of just thirteen lines, fully half way down the middle of the platform. If the porportionate conspicuousness given the two Issues is any indication of their rela tive importance as viewed by the Demo cratic leaders in convention assembled then the business men have little cause to grum ble. They may take note of this later on. "It is a good platform and a good ticket,” said Congressman Lester, "and will come as near winning as any the Democrats could name. Stevenson is in thorough harmony with Bryan, and will make him a good running mate. He will come as near helping to carry New York as Hill would. The fact is that Ido not expect much from New York, or any Eastern state. If Bryan is to be elected, his support must come from the West and the South.” “It is a splendid ticket and n splendid platform.” said Hon. W. W. Sheppard, "and a sure winner. The plank on im perialism could not be improved upon. The silver plank had to go in, of course. It would have caused more talk had U been lef* out than by being put in, and would have lost votes both ways. The Doer sympathy plank Is a good one, and is destined to play a big part in the cam paign. especially in the Northwestern states, where the German and Scandina vian element is very strong. Webster Davis' wih be set to work In those states, and will do great work there.” There are other hopeful Democrats who view*, the matter just as Mr. Sheppard does. li. fact, the rank and file of the par.v generally is pretty well satisfied with the ticket and the platform, and will make no bones about voting one and sup porting the other. They do not regard the money plank as of particular importance one waj or the other, and taken as a whole, they are satisfied with the straisrhtout democracy of both the ticket and the platform. ADLAI E. STEVENSON. Brief Sketch of the Career of the Vice Presidential Nominee. Adlni Ewing Stevenson was born in Christian county, Kentucky, Oct. 20, 1813. He was educated in the common schools of his native county, and at Center Col lege at Danville. When he was 16 years old, he removed with his father's family to Bloomington, 111., where he studied law. and was admitted to the practice of the profession. In 1864. after he had lived at Metamora, 111., for ten years, he was nominated by the Democratic pnrty for presidential elector on the McClelland ticket. At the time he was district attor ney for his district, which office he held for several years—until he returned to Bloomingtom in 1869. and formed a law partnership with Judge J. S. Ewing. Mr. Stevenson was nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Bloomington Dis trict in, 1874. The district was regarded os safely Republican by 3,000 majority, but Mr. Stevenson won by about 1.200. He was in Congress during the exciting times of the Tilden contest in 1876. He was renominated to succeed himself, but was defeated. In 1878, he was again nominated, and this time was successful. At the ex piration of his second term In Congress, he returned to Bloomington and resumed the practice of law. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1884, and 1 after the election of Mr. Cleveland as President, was appointed First Assistant Postmaster General. In 1892, Mr. Stevenson was nominated for Vice President on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland, and was elected. He filled the office for four years with marked courtesy and conspicuous ability. Upon the expiration of his term as Vice Pres ident he resumed the practice of law in Illinois. THE TOM CAT'S STRATEGY'. He Formed nn Offensive nnd Defen sive Alliance With Three Dogs. From the Grand Rapids Herald. It was not hls size or his beauty which made him remarkable, though his pos session of these attributes of feline superi ority easily made him prominent among the cats of the neighborhood, with whom he waged unrelenting warfare, but the fact Is he possessed a controlling mind and a strategic ability that would have made him a great commander had lie been born ill a more exalted sphere of life. For this cat. with true diplomacy, made friends with the dogs of his partic ular domein and went forth to battle at tended by a bodyguard whose appearance Inspired respect and assisted him in his combats. An English mastiff, a bird dog and a small cocker spaniel shared his meals and later enabled him to gain vic tories over his hated rival, the gray cat across the street. This cat had many a contest with that gray cat, but the combat always resulted in a draw, because of the guerilla tac tics of his wary oppoent. who preferred n short fight and h rapid dash to eafety to a prolonged conflict where the superior weight and fighting ability of the cat with the controlling mind would have a decid ed advantage. The thought that victory, undisputed, had never yet petched upon his banners vexed the soul of the diplomatic feline and embittered Ins milk and beefsteak wilh wormwood of vengeance long delay ed. But at last diplomacy triumphed, and retribution overtook the gray prowler and disturber of midnight slumber. One day In a fatal hour the gray cat In vaded tie precincts of the feline Bis marck whsn the allie. of the latter were at hand. When he struck a sudden blow and ran a smile of sudden Joy parted the whiskers of the cat with the controlling mind, and with him the three dogs Joined the chase. Because of thlr superior numbers the dogs easily caught and brought to bay the gray cat, an# then formed a ring About him, while t£-t avenger entered the arena and began the battle. Continually driven back into the ring by the three dogs, the gray cat was unable to pursue his favorite tactics, and the result, after one of the prettiest ‘Vat scraps” that the ward has ever seen, was complete victory for the eat with the diplomatic inclina tions. Only when the gray cat, by a fly ing leap over the heads of the dogs, es caped did he let up in the work of righte ous retribution. Then, in the conscious ness of victory, the conqueror returned, accompanied by his allies, to his repast of milk and beefsteak, lord of his own do main; and the surrounding neighborhood as far as three blocks owned his undis puted sway. WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE. Macon,'Gn.—lt* Strong Mimic Enmi ty-Prof. Ertonnrif llen*ollerjc, One of the World** Greatest Pinnist*. Elected Director. The Wesleyan College, at Macon, (la., has what is probably the strongest music faculty in the South. At the recent com mencement this department was a most entirely reorganized. Prof. Edouard Hea sel berg was elected director, and of the eight teachers under him in this depart ment it is said that every one has had the best advantages that either Europe or America could afford. Miss Kate Vail King, for Instance, a lady of national reputation, was chosen as teacher of vcice culture. Miss F. Eva Massey was elected one of the piano teachers. She lirst graduated in music at one of our Southern colleges, then spent lour years in the New Eng land Conservatory and graduated there. She next taught three years in Converse College and afterward went to Europe, where she has been studying music for the past two or three years under the great masters of Leipzig and Berlin. She comes immediately from Berlin to the Wesleyan. The other teachers have had similar advantages. Of Prof. Hesselberg. the director, we clip the following from the Macon Tele graph: "This distinguished piano virtuoso, com poser. conductor and instructor, laureate and the Royal Philharmcnique Conservatory o p Moscow, honorable member of the lAzst Society, began to study piano when but five and a half years of age. receiving his first instruction from his mother. Five public appearances at the age of seven, in Koenigsberg. Two years later entered the classical gymnasium in Russia, grad uated in all branches of sciences at 16, studying music at the same lime with Prof. Theodor Dcdelukk. At that time entered the Royal Philharmonique Con serva:ory of Music a-t Moscow, being ac cepted without yam i ation; received les sons from Pietro Sc frost a kow sky (direc tor in p rson; six months later his first appearance as soloist at the Philharmon ique symphony concerts; four years later graduated with gold medal as laureate in a competition of twenty-four others, performing the celebrated ‘Dance Maca bee’ by Liszt, with the symphony orches tra before an audience of 10,010 at the ‘Pallet de la Noblesse.’ At this time he tegan his private lessons under Rubin stein. Mr. Hesselberg played before the members of the Russian royal family; aho before the Crown Prince of Italy and Crown Prince of Austria; concertized with Marcella Sembrlch. Marconi, Tori celli, Lucca, Nordioa, de Reszke, etc. Visited the principal chi of Europe, Africa and America with overwhelming success. Mr. Hesselberg has a very large r perto re of the ( lassie and modern com pos rs and over 100 original compositions of his own for piano, voice and violin. His talent is inherited from his mother’s side, his uncle. Charles Davidoff, being th© world's greatest cellist, and his youngest sis er. Mss Re la Hesselberg, yet only 16, is at the present (time one of the best pupils cf the great violinist, Joachim (Berlin). Newspaper Notice of Professor lies nelberg. European Paper*. St. Petersburg, Russia: ‘‘Possesses great power and delicay of touch and ranks among the greatest pianists of the day.” Moscow, Russia: ‘‘To be able to perform as he did, one must have perfect tech nique, all qualifications of touch, and ar tistic temperament.” Berlin, Germany: ‘‘Carried the entire audience by storm. Never has a more finished player appeared in our city.” Paris, France: “Such work as that of last evening bids fair to soon place him on a level with Paderewski.” American Papers. New York (World): “Edouard Hessel berg (pupil of Rubinstein) received a per fect ovation.” Chicago (Inter Ocean): “The feature of real musical merit was furnished by Ed. Hesselberg. He has great technical skill and fancy in phrasing; plays octave pass ages with remarkable speed and without apparent effort, unconsciously following the model of Rosenthal.” Philadelphia (Inquirer): “Hesselberg's command of the keyboard is almost be yond belief. His work has never been excelled in this city.” New Orleans (Picayune): “His success was phenomenal, and the large audience was lavish, and Justly so, with its ap plause.” Kansas City: “Excellent technique and colors well. Follows Paderewski’s phras ing closely.” San Antonio. Tex.: “Edouard Hessel berg was encored again and again. His touch is wonderfully masterful, and yet as soft as it is strong.” Little Rock. Ark.: “Equal, if not su perior, to Paderewski.” Fort Worth. Tex.: “He is one of the fin est performers that ever visited our city.” Dallas. Tex.: “Hesselberg's playing, to those who have not heard Paderewski, ex cites credulity as to the possibility of Paderewski’s ability to excel him.” Portland, Me.: “Artist of the very best ability; no criticism Is possible and no praise necessary.” Trenton, N. J.: “Proved himself a thorough master, nnd held his audience nearly two hours in close attention, prov ing his genius.” Auburn, N. Y.: “At the close of his dou ble number. Mr. Hesselberg was received with a storm of applause.” Ithaca, N. Y.: “Mr. Hesselberg’s play ing last night brought down the house.” Denver, Col.: “Hesselberg Is a pianist .who has mastered the technique and in fuses the poetry of Paderewski into Tils playing.” The Wesleyan College and the people of Georgia and of the South are certain ly to be congratulated on having such musical talent and advantages In this sec tion.—ad.
