Railroad Prosecuted Husband- Wife Sues Railroad. A suit brought by Mrs Sallio Leo Shaw, wife of Tom Shaw, who will be tried at Jeffersonville, Ga., for wrecking the Southern railway train at Stone creek on Feb. 29th, was transferred from the superior court of Twiggs county to the United States court, the order of transfer being signed bp Judge C. C. Smith at the request of the Southern railway. The most interesting circum stances connected with the trans fer of the suit is that Mrs. Shaw sues to recover SIO,OOO damages for injuries received in the wreck at Stone creek, and that her hus band is to be tried for wrecking the train on which she was a passen ger, and which caused her injuries. The case is thought to be without a parallel, especially as the rail road expects to prove at Shaw’s trial that his object in wrecking ing the train was to get rid of her and at the same time get damages for her death. The road also claims to be able to establish the fact that Shaw had already made arrangements to marry another woman in anticipation of his wife’s death . In her petition, Mrs. Shaw, through her attorney, that she boarded the train at Macon at 7 p. m. on Friday, Feb. 29, of the present year for Reid’s Station; that the tram was delayed and was making up time by running at a high rate of speed when the acci dent occurred. Through the neg ligence and carelessness of the road’s officers, agents and employ es, she was permanently injured about the hips and hack, her teeth knocked out, and that she sustain ed other painful and harmful in injuries. She further alleges that the bridges and trestles over which the train passed were rotten and unsafe. The case will be heard when the court convenes in its Oc tober session. The trial of Tom Shaw will be one of the most sensational cases ever hea’d in Georgia. Warren Giiswell, who confessed to aiding Shaw in wrecking the train, has already been tried and sentenced to life imprisonment, the mercy of the court being extended be cause of his efforts to bring the guilty to justice. Mrs. Shaw has frequently visited her husband in Bibb jail, though Shaw has shown little respect for her ever since his incarceration. She is young and comely, and stands closely by her husband despite the damaging character of the testimony against him. “Hud” Jenkins, of Putnam, the new speaker of the Georgia house of representatives is 41 years of age, was born in Americus and is sprung from a long line of politi cians.

The road wound along the mountains, and the air ’ was delightful, while the scenery ' was almost sublime. I was invig orated as though by a powerful tonic, and several times remarked upon the ozone in the air. After : one of these observations the driver stopped the horses and beckoning to me slyly, climbed fre-m the seat. Wondering what he could want, I followed him, and soon we were behind a large tree, out of view of the wagon. ‘Parson,’ said the dri ver, ‘I couldn’t bear to see you suf fer. The ozoae you smelled was in my pocket-’ With these words ,he drew forth a large bottle of whisky, which he offered to me. It ’ took several minutes to convince I him that it was not whisky I had ■ referred to as ozone.” Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Rdfa!

A gentleman of Carrolton, who has lately returned from the west, has brought with him a copy of some of the rules he found posted in a hotel dining room. The hotel was the Rustlers’ Rest, at Little Cayuse Creek, Colo. The “rules for the guidance of guests” follow: “All gents with shooting irons or other weapons must check them before entering the dining room. Waiters are too scarce to be killed. Gents are requested not to at tract waiters’ attention by throw ing things at them. This is no deaf mute asylum. Seven kinds of pie are given with every dinner. Tablecloths are changed every Sunday. Our food is all of the best qual ity. Our milk is pure, eggs new laid, and the butter speaks for it self. Guests tipping waiters must pay funeral benefits in case one should die from heart disease. No more than six eggs will be given each at a sitting. Any guest found trying to work off shells on a neighbor will bo fired from the table. “Biscuits found riveted together can be opened with a chisel sup plied by a waiter. The use of dy namite is strictly forbidden. Disputes over articles of food must be settled outside. Don’t lasso the waiters, because the guest who can’t throw the rope will bo at a disadvantage. Gents can take off their coats if they want to, but they must keep on their vests.” —Baltimore Sun. How to Cure a Severe Cold. A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most misera ble condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recog nizing it as dangerous he took im mediate steps to bring about speedy cure. From the advertise ment of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom mendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is put ting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure . The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland.

Unreasonable. A prophet is not without honor save in his own country. This old truth was newly exemplified lately in the case of a well-known Amer ican writer, according to the New York Tribune. The other day Maurice Thomp son visited Calhoun, Georgia, his boyhood home. “Who’s that yander?” asked an old countryman indicating Thomp son, who was standing before a grocery-store whittling a pine box. “The tall fellow?” “Yes.” “That’s Thompson—Maurice Thompson.” ' “What! The feller what use ter play eroun’ here?” “The very same.” “You don’t tell me?” “Fact. But he’s a great man now —one of tfie most successful of literary men.” “Onpossible!” “Fact, I toll you. He’s a great man now’.” “Well,” said the old man, doubt fully, “hit may be so, but hit don’t look reasonable.” “Not reasonable?” “No. Why,”—and he drew clos er and lowered his voice a little, — “he used ter go fishin’ with me!” —Youth’s Companion.
