mission and Hamby * Toomer. and
that of the Atlanta Stove Works vs.
the Western and Atlantl Railroad Com
pony. . The arguments consumed the

vs. the Western and Atlantic Ballroad
Company, which was taken up at 1
O’clock Friday afternoon. Is one of
several teat cases which bring Into
question the authority of the state rail
road commission to enforce lie rulings
on freight rates. On August 29, 1901, a
small shipment of stoves was consigned
to each of the several railroads run
ning out of Atlanta, and on which
shipments the new rate made by the
railroad commission on July 10, 1101,
and published by It In Its circular No.
<09, was demanded. ,
The railroads had obtained, an In
junction through the federal court. The
Atlanta Stove Works filed suit against
the railroads, praying that the court
Issue a mandamus to compel the roads
to transport articles of freight from
Atlanta to several named points at the
rate prescribed In clraulsr No. 209, Is-
sued by the railroad commleslon.
When tho stove rate cases were
called, that of the Atlanta Stovs Works
against the Louisville and Nsshvllle
was token up first, with Mr. Wlmblsh,
of Ellis, Wlmbl.h * Ellis, representing
the plaintiff. It wss decided by the
court that the case should be taken up
at the beginning, though there wae
considerable discussion as to how the
court should proceed In the cases. The
question of there being sn Issue of fact
as to tho tendering of tho shipments
of the stoves In good faith will be de
cided by the court. An amendment to
the effect that the shipments were not
tendered In good faith was Introduced
by counsel for the railroad.
Judge Pendleton excused all other
cases for the day.

MUNICIPAL SLA UGHTER PEN
PROPOSED IN PHILADELPHIA
By Private Leased Wire. I
Philadelphia, June 1.—Revelations of
the revolting conditions existing lA the
majority of 171 slaughter houses In
this city haa led Dr. A. C. Abbott,
chief of the bureau of health, to for
mulate a plan for the abolition of the
filthy dene by the establishment of a
municipal ownership slaughter house.
This plan will be submitted to Mayor
Weaver and councils, and, It Is un
derstood, has their approval.
Recent Investigation by the meat In
spectors In the employ of tho bureau
of health have revealed the existence
of conditions which ara said to be al
most aa bad as those exposed by Pres
ident Roosevelt’s commission. The In
spectors found csttle and sheep being
slaughtered In private dwellings. In
one place, they found carcasses of
ateora and sheep lying on the floor of
a refuse littered cellar.
In an alarming number of places,
they found diseased meat, the majority
of which was tubercular. Private
stalls were found to be a favorite place
for slaughtering. Incredible filth
abounds.
Those revelations have led Dr. Ab
bott to the conclusion that the only
real and permanent rmtUffW tbe
' ’ate slaughter house evil Is tho ea-
isnment of a centrally located
slaughter house owned by tho city.
“Much slaughter houses are operated
In eltlss of Germany,’’ he said, “and
they ara operated with success. Train
ed veterinarians examine every animal
after It Is killed, and If there Is the
•lightest trace of disease the meat Is
thrown out.”
