A. Harris, through his at torney, James L. Key, filed suit In the civil branch of tho city court Friday for $3,000 damages against that cor poration. It is alleged In the bill filed that on November J the gas company sent Harris a bill of $4.30 for gas used dur ing the month from September 26 to October 26. Tho petition alleges that this bill was paid by Harris and that he has It now In his possession re ceipted. On November 27 It Is claimed that a notice was received from the company, saying that the gas bill for October, amounting to $9.67, was unpaid, and that unless It was paid by noon the next day the meter would be removed and the gas supply stopped. Accord ing to the petition this was done, not withstanding the fact that Harris wrote the company to the effect that he had paid his bill and had the receipt. It is also alleged that on two pre vious occasions the gas company’s agents entered Harris’ house and re moved meters and stopped furnishing him gas without authority, and that the gas company has repeatedly at tempted and succeeded In humiliating him. After Ills gas supply was cut off, notwithstanding the alleged fact that the bill for the month In question was patd and receipted for, Harris says he was forced to light his house with candles and lamps and to Install a cook afove In the place of the gas range.

Rome, Os., Dec. 21.—A north-bound freight train on the Central road was wrecked nt an early hour this morning about two miles from Rome. Hereral ears war© ditched and the track torn up for 300 yards. The cab broke loose from the train nnd Jumped the track lu ten feet of n trestle, but fortunately no on© was hurt. After crossing the trestle several of the ears left the track and wore dragged oomc distance, tearing up the track ss they went. The wreck is thought to have been caused by the brake beam on one of the csrs com ing loos© nnd dragging heavily on the cross ties, tearing them up In some places and causing the rails to spread. Passenger trains wore delayed here sev eral hours on account of the wreck. MEMBER OF GOT HAM “400" IS A VICTIM OF LEPROSY; 100 CASES EX IS 7 IN CITY New York. Dec. 21.—“There are more than 100 well-defined cases of leprosy In New York today. A well-known member of the *400' has h well-devel oped case of the disease,” says Dr. A. 8. Ashmead, recognized authority on leprosy. This startling statement made today by the best-known authority on leprosy caused amazement. New Yorkers thought that the leper colony on Blackwells Island had been abolished years ago, but today there are five wretched men housed In wood en sheds on the Island, patiently await ing for death to release them. Dr. Darlington, health commissioner, says that leprosy Is not contagious, and he does not feel that his department is called upon to deal with It. Dr. Doty, health officer of the port, when asked what he would do if he discovered lep rosy in an immigrant ship, replied: "There would bo nothing for me to do except to pass them. Their disease would not be classed as contagious, therefore I would have no right to In terfere with them.” In direct conflict with these views arc those of Dr. Ashmead, whose ut terances were very emphatic. "Leprosy,” he said, “Is a great men- Horses Delayed; Wants Damage. Alleging that a shipment of horses over the Louisville and Nashville rail road was delayed In shipment from Cincinnati to this city, 26 hours, 8. T. Kyley filed suit In the city court Fri day morning for $1,237.50 damages. Pe titioner says that the horaes were badly Injured when they arrived and the 24 animals had decreased In value on account of bad shipment to the amount of the damages askod.

Gunn will con tinue hie lecture, on the church and state troubles In France, Sunday morn ing at 11 o’clock at the Sacred Heart church. Great Interest Is being taken In this discussion. ace. The port of New York Is the gateway of this country through which the old world Is flocking, and It ahould he carefully guarded. It ts criminal to allow such a terrible plague to get root here Just because boards of health have not been able to discover the medium by which the disease Is transmlttsd and therefore they hold that It ts not I contagious. "Leprosy follows the lepers. It does not exist In races where there has never been any contact with the lepers. It did not exist among the North Amer ican Indians, but It does spread among races In hot and cold countries alike wherever contact with lepers Is estab lished." “The Georgian was born full grown.” Ex-Governor W. J. Northen.
