Jehn N. Plank, or Sallabury, against

oeunsel, 6. O. Kennedy and J. W. Johr

of SO shillings he Imposed en Jeseph Mast,
who eiused his arrest, en the ground that
Plank waa a freeholder and exempt frcm

forth that Plank waa the owner et a farm,
en which there was an encumbranee but
tbat he waa worth clear of all enoum eneum enoum
brsnee 2,700.
Mr. Breslus, of counsel for Mast, argued
tbat Plank was net a freeholder, the law
being that no person Is a freeholder against
whom there Is sn Incumbrance. The court
granted a rule te show cause why the pen
ally of thirty shillings should net be im
posed. Plank claims that his arreat did him a
great Injustice, that he was an endorser (fa
note for Mast, and tbe agreement waa that
he waa te retain a phaeton, for the payment
of which tbe note was given, and in viola
tion of that agreement Mast took the
phaeton away, and he In oempany with
Constable Bewman brought it back te hla
place and for that be waa arrested.

were tba crops et Jeha Bherrlck, eeveral

Tbe above tobaeoo waa raised ea the farm

boxes, nearly all et which waa purchased
by Jacob L. Fry for a Bt Liula firm.
Buyers are looked ter about January 1st,
but aa ealv a amall nortlea of the oren will
be stripped by that time, there will net be

Frem the Tobacco Lear.
The market for domestic elgar leaf Ibis
week showed up very well, and consider
able tobaeoo waa sold, although transactions
of large magnitude were net made. Once
mere the packers, la our opinion, are acting
In a reckless manner, by purchasing new
lest en the poles and at very high figures,
tbla being done In all seotfens. Tbere Is
nothing te warrant thla earlv buvlne-. aa the
i acreage et Havana seed tobaeoo this year is
rar larger tnsn me last crop, we nave
noticed that when tobaeoo la bought se early
that tbere la trouble when tbe weed is de
llveredat the warehouse, and, net te exsg
gerate, nine tlmeaoutef ten the paeker does
net come out ahead en h'a purchase.
Havana Tbe market remains un
changed. Seme geed salea have been
re fused because buyers would net come up
te tbe asking prlee In some eases bevers
snd sellers being only a fraction of a cent
spirt Helders, aa a rule, are very firm in
tbelr figures and show no Inclination te
make any concessions. The salea slnee our
last report feet up 660 bslca from first
bsnds, 300 st 65c te $1.05, and the balance
at 11.10 te ft 23.
Sumatra This variety takea the lead ae
far aa aetlvlty Is concerned, although no
large slngletrsnsactlena are reported. The
recent Importations abowsseme very fine
tnbsoeo, but tbe quantity la small. Dealers
find very little trouble In disposing of the
best el their stock at geed figures, but tbev
are trying bard te work off tbe Inferior
grades with It Sties, 600 bales at f 1.20 te

Frem the 0. 8. Tobacco Journal.
During tbe closing weeks of a year, an
animated market la hardly expected, If
transactions are closed they are done te
take eiieet alter the new year haa aet In.
Beside, the psst six weeka bave been en
livened by Bueb a rcablng business tbat a
breathing spell is proper. Nevertheless
the sales of seed leal amount te about 2,000
eases, comprising every grade of leaf.
The new Sumatra oentinuta te be In de
mand, net out of love for the leaf but from
sheer neeesalty. It Is contended thst from
7,000 te 8,000 bales of tbe new Importations
bave been cleared off our market We,
however, would estimate It at from 6,000 te
6,000 bales. Sites for the past week 400
bales.
The aetlvlty In Havana has likewise
slackened eemewhat, but thd volume of
business for tbe week amounts still te about
600 bales. Celss are In big demand, even
at an advance of from 53 te 8s, But the

because of the vigor with whleh It assails

Tbat the general railroad eUaeUea of the

directors are bewildered ; baakera are
frightened. Yet tbat tba lnter-state oom eom oem

opinion tbe dlffleulty Is far mere deep

These are strong words, and yet, aa the

And he sbsll keep wnecin."
Tbe state et things In this respect wss bad

haa greatly aggravated what waa bad
enough already. Slnee that act went Inte
effect two yeara age there baa been what
might be called a crsss for railroad con
struction. Great corporations, one stier tbe
ether, have contracted the madness, and
have built hundreds of miles of read almost
paralleling each ether. In many eases
they bave actually paralleled eaeh ether
across wide tracts et oeuntry In whleh no
human being lived. Thla Is true In Wiscon
sin, in Minnesota, In Mebrasks, In Ksnsas.
Ouiy dsy or two since aomeeltlzsna of tbe
West celled neon me. and wanted a branch
of the Union Paolfle built. I examined thn
map and found tbat there waa already a
railroad between thn two points named.
They wanted us te build a parallel read a
short dlstanee from it 1 suggested te tbem
Ironleslly tbat it would be better for ns te
build en the right et way of the ether read,
ae as te make what would practically be
one double-track read. Te my surprise
tbey were se accuitemed te railroad felllea
tbat tbe irony of tbe preposition did net
suggest itself te tbem. They remarked,
with ail possible gravity, that this wenld be
altogether tbe best wsy of doing the thing.
Tbey simply wanted a competing read,
built by Eastern etpltsl, alongside or
another read already built, also by Eastern
eapltal.
The construction et all these mlles of
railroad, for which hardly any Immediate
demand existed, msde a readjustment of
trsflle neee.ssry. That Is, the moment the
resds were finished tbe problem passed
out of tbe hands et the engineer into
the bsnds of tba freight agent, by
whom trstfie of some sort ter the new reads
bad te be provided. Tbe lnter-state com
merce act waa In operation. It waa Impos
sible te peel, and the long haul regulated
tbe abort bsul. Then followed a depth of
ranreaa mersis among rreigni agents lower
than had even previously existed snd that
la ssylng mueh. The dishonest methods of
rate-cutting, tbe secret systems et rebates

et unioranresa. xne urst report announced
thst twelve whites and one hundred and
filly negre bad been killed, but accord
lng te ether dlspatehes, tbe casualties were
alt white.
About the only agreement waa la giving
the number of while victims aa twelve.
The cause of the affray Is also variously
given. One dlipitcn alated that it arose
from an attempt te arrest an lneendlary
and ethera from a fight between two boys,
one white and the ether oelored. Seme
dlspatehesald the wbttse wareoeustble's

tbe while msn awore nut a warrant for the
negre's arreat and Gonatable Bath Cobb
want te the negre's house te exoeutelt,
when he was sttseked by a number or
negrees and beaten. He then summoned
n posse of twelve men snd went yestcrdsy
evening te arrest the negre.
'Ihe posse were fired upon from am
bush and five killed outfight and six
wounded, mere or less seriously. The
newaspresd rspldly and the negrees were
strongly reinroreed. wsnaiak telegraphed
atoeg tne line ler help, and Meridian re-

armed men. They wern Joined at every
station, and reaching Wabalak, marched
Immediately te tbe scene et bloodshed.
The negrees were barricaded, and refused
teaurrender or give up tbe dead whiles.
At neon the forces were supposed te be
about equal, and what the result Is no one
here knows.
This afternoon newa waa recetved that Ibe
belligerent negreea have retreated ta the
awamps and are stubborn, while tbe non
combatant ncgrcet are fleeing te the weeds
in terror. Captain McDowell, et tbe Co Ce

The negrees hsre fled te the awamps or are
In biding. The latest estimates are that
five white men were killed and perhaps ten
wounded. It Is quite likely thst tbete
figures will be Increased. Me mention Is
msde in tbe latest advices et any negreea
being killed, but It la llkely many were

soldier vote, and net tarllT reform, that da
feated tbe Democracy. 1 wenld like te
attalghten out some et these pension lies,
as they might have been betterstralahlened
during the eamnalan. Aa a ma tnr nr t.n
the president has votesd 200 pension bills
for cause, and signed 1 530, or Just 10 mere
thsa all tbe Republican presidents preeed
Inghlm had signed. Oltbe 200 vetead 10 were
rejected because tbelr beneQelaiies would
receive larger pensions under tbe genersl
Isw, and aa a result these 10 were psld
117,000 mere than they would have re
ceived if the bills had been passed. Oae,
Ospt Green, In Mew Yerk state, 1 re
member, get 12,000 mere than he rxpoeted.
These pensioners bad applied In 18S0, and
under the general law get mere than if tbelr
claims hsd dsted from tbe passage et tbelr
bills by Congress. In 0 ether cases the bills
were absurd and mean Ingteaa. Then hew
en earth oeuld tbe president be expected te
sign tbe bill for the peer woman who was
described In the special consressleusl aet
aa "a dependent father T" Twelve ether
applicants hsd deserted tba army and
never been reinstated. BMUfO mere ap
