"It is sadly crowded, and tbe next Legtsluture will have to provide tor more room. We need at this time at laast two more cottages.

THE RAILROADS' PROPOSITION

To Pay All Taxes and Litigate Aft-

erword.

It looks os though th* railroads are losing courage in the fight they have begun against the tax law. One or two of them have made a proposition to the Attorney-General and other attorneys who will uphold th* law, to pay all taxes in full and litigate afterward. The proposition has not been considered by AttorneyGeneral Smith, and probably will not. ba. Tba attorneys who have undertaken to r« rist the attack of tbs railroads on the law feel confident of winning the suits, and say they are not anxtous for any kind of a compromise It is said that the railroads ere becoming frightened and are anxione to drop th« suits. Said an attorney 1 “The com ponies are beginning to learn how tbe people are regarding the suits, and they are afraid there will ba so much ill teellng grow out of the suit* that the next Legislature will get after the railroads warmer than ever. The wisest thing th* railroads can do Is to dismiss all th* suits."

“Yes, there is. He has promised to pot in

the crossing," said Mahoney.

"Didn't I tell you, Mr. Mahoney, tbat I would put in that crossing as soon as tbe stone was distributed, and didn't I tell you that the board is not going to buy any more

■tone for crossings "

“Well, yon know, Mr. Harrold, tbat Shelby street Is tbe principal street on tbe South

Bide—” began M&honey again.

. "Every man that bae a street to be improved think* that it ia tbe principal street m town. 1 yhink the Booth Bide baa fared well. It has had a good many stone crossings put in. though there arc hundreds of places that need

them yet.”

President Conduit# stopped the controversy and informed Mahoney that while Sbelby street will not be permanently improved, hi* crossing will be put in and water mains laid

on the street.

livered from the evils that encompass them and imperil tbeir most sacred interests." In conclusion, Mr. Haines, after speakinj^of

some of the personal characteristics o( Henderson, alluded to the sudden, though not

unexpected, character of his death, saying that, though for months Mr. Henderson knew the summons might come any day, yet he foced the possibility with tbe same strong, calm spirit with which he had met all the

emergencies of life.

After the service* tbe body was taken to

Crown Hill Cemetery for burial.

At a meeting of the bar of Henry county yesterday resolutions, in which groat sorrow wers expressed, were passed on Mr. Hender-

The Department of Pnblio Health and Charities will probably not ask for additional appropriations, bat Dr. Edenharter, superintendent of tbe city hospital, believes that tbe institution should be painted and some other improvements made. Dr. Edenharter asked originally for 924,000, but it was out down to 923,400. He says be bae tamed in over 99,000 for which be gets no eredit, and ie of the
