Judge Emory Speer yesterday gave his decision in the injunction case of the Coast Line Railroad Compauy against the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah. The caso arose out of the refusal of tho railroad company to pay for paving three feet on either side of its ftack on Broughton street with asphalt. In March, 1888, the City Council passed an ordinance requiring tne railroad company to pave not only between its rails on Broughton street west of Abercorn, but also lor a yard on both the north and south sides of the track. It was estimated that the share for suoh paving without its traok amounted to $3,085 50. When payment was refused the Cit 7 Marshal was instructed to advertise ttie property on Broughton street, west ot Abercom, lor sale.

A bill to restrain the sale wus filed in the United States Circuit Court and was argued recently. In 1873, four years alter the incorporation ol the compauy, the City Council adopted an ordinance indicating the route of tne railroad, and stating that tbe event the paving by tne city of the whole or any portion of the streets used by lhe said railroad company, the portion of the track between the rails snail be paved or kept in good order and thorough repair by the company at its own expenso and Subsequently, in 1885, the Legislature of Georgia authorized tne city to pave its streets, with the power to assess twothirds of the cost on the real estate abutting on the streets improved, provided auv street railway company having tracks running through the streets of said city shall he required to macadamize or otherwise pave, as the said Mayor und oi the city of (Savanuuh may direct, the width of its tracks, amt tinea leet on each side of every line of track now in use, or that may hereafter be constructed by such Mr. Atkins, counsel for the complainant, argued that the act of Sept 6, 1885, was an impairment oi the obligation of the contract between the company and theeiky, and it was, therefore, contrary to the constitution of tbe United States. Judge Speer sustained the point, stating tdat a review of every authority cited by counsel for defendant to support the interference of the Legislature, it will be found that each cuse depends upon special circumstances, in view of which the sovereignty of the State can be properly exercised. But there is no warrant found for an act which deliberately revokes a valid contract between a private corporation and a third party where rights are vested.

the act of Sept. 5, 1885, seeks to do, and it is lor that reason held invalid, so far as it attempts to authorize the Mayor auu Aldermen ol the city of Savannah to compel the complainants to pave three feet on each side ot their track, or otherwise than is stipulated in the ordinance of Sept. 29, 1873, expressing the contract between the city and the Coast Line Railway Compauy. 1 hold, therefore, that the complainants, upon the allegations of their bill, are entitled to the injunction they seek, and the demurrer THE NAVAL STORES MEN. Tho Producers Association and the Standard OH Company.

Tbe Naval Stores Protective Association has just Issued another circular to the producers. The circular states that silica the one of Jan. 7 was issued two circumstances have occurred which require official notice from the association. One circumstance is the notice given bv the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company that it would in future enlorce the C. L.

on less than car loud lots of spirits turpentine. The rate referred to is three or tour times as great as on carload lots. It has been charged, says the circular, that ihe association was responsible for the order, because the association obtained a 20 per cent, reduction on rosin freights. All responsibility for tbe order is denied, and the statement is made that tjie C. L.

was suspended before freight was collected on a single shipmeot. The second matter which the association deems requires notice from it is in reference to toe connection with the Standard Oil Company. Tbe charges to that effect made by two prominent naval stores factors in interviews published by the Morning News are pronounced untrue, unfounded and absurd. Produoers are warned against cutting too many boxes and thereby causing an overproduction of spirits and rosin. An allusion is made to horning, and it is staled that the association lias resolved to break up the nefarious practice.

SHADOWED IIY THUGS. Atlcmps to Rob a Countryman in Johnson Sqare. About 10 o'clock last night a white man, who gave his name as Gaston Allan, was approached in a suspicious manner by a rough looking man in front of tho Pulaski House. Mr. Allan was accompanied by a colored boy who said that he was directing Allan to tho Screven House.

The suspicious character made several apparent attempts get the boy away, but did not succeed. Policeman Kelly came up about that time and took charge of Allan, whom he conducted to a hotel. Then he went after the other man and soon had him in tbe barracks. Tbe party arrested denied I nut he took or tried to take anything from Allan, who is believed from South Carolina. AT THE THEATRE.

It will be seen that the grand jurors for this term differ in their opinion in regard to this matter from their predecessors: have also examined the books oi the Ordinary of Chatham county and investigated the question as to whether the special fee bill allowed was excessive. We find that the books of the office are kept in tbe most complete manner, und that tbe neatness and exactness of tbe clerical labor is unusually good. We find tho system for ready reference is an evidence of administrative anility of the Ordinary of unusual character, considering the limited nature ot the rooms occupied by him. also find that the fact that the fees of the Ordinary of Chatham county dlfl'ering from tbeCode is not peculiar to this county, but exists in other counties. In contrasting the fees with the other counties, and considering the cost of living in Savannah, we do not consider them too large, as the net amount produced Horn this, alter paying expenses is otily about $3,500 per annum, not too large a salary for so responsible an office that oi udge of the Court of Ordinary, as a less amount would not probably secure the services of a faltbful and competent AT THE COURTS.

VIOLATED THE LAW.

Postmaster Unintentionally Offends Uncle Sain. Joseph Brown, postmaster at, Josiyn, Liberty county, was tried in tho United States District Court yesterday for violating the postal laws by disposing of stamps in trade. During a period of about three years Brown allowed a neighboring storekeeper with whom he dwelt to get stamps and stamped envelopes on account. The transactions amounted to $29, which sum was deducted from tne grocery bill. He made his returns regularly an i remitted every cent that was due to the government.

The defendant was represented by Isaac Beckett, Esq. Judge Speer in his charge remarked that the transactions did not constitute swindling and were only a technical violation of the law. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty and the defendant lined SSO without costs of court, which was tbe lightest penalty tne law permitted. YH SECOND TRIAL Assigned for To-Day in the Superior Court. The case of Wall Lee, ohargeil with the larceny of SB4, is assigned for a retrial in the Superior Court to-day.

Considerable difficulty is likely to arise in getting a jury, as a good many of the jurors on the regular panels are disqualified from haviug heard a part ot the testimony delivered under oath, it being presumed that they have since expressed an opinion.

President A lex a limtrucMons to the Auguata and In llegard to Freight for the Columbia and the Order la Construed iu Augusta. On Monday the officials of the Augusta and Knoxville railroad at Augusta, under instructions from headquarters here in Savannah, stopped receiving freight for points on the Columbia and Greenville road. Heretofore most of the freight from Augusta lor points along the Greenville and Columbia, especially between Newberry and Greenwood, has gone over the Augusta and Knoxville line to Greenwood, where It was turned over to the Columbia and Greenville, which carried it to its destination. The Central got a long haul and the Richmond and Danville a short one. The latter company can carryall Ireight from Augusta via tbe Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta over its own lines to points on the Columbia aud Greenville.

This route is a round-about way, and tbe Augusta merchants complain that, as it takes from twenty-four to forty-eight hours longer for their freight to reach its destination, they are afraid that they will lose the trade from that territory. It is learned here that the order was issued at a request made by tho Richmond and West Point Terminal of Gen. Alexander, President of the Central. In Augusta the order is construed to mean that the West Point Terminal controls the Central. The latter company had the traffic in its own grasp, and if Gen.

Alexander voluntarily gave it up the circumstance at Least indicates that the two great systems are on very amicable terms. Gen. Alexander is in New York and will be gone several days.

C. CONCERT. Tho Opening Entertainment in Odd Hall Last Night. The entertainment given by tbe Auxiliary Committee of the Young Christian Association at Odd Hall last night was in every way a success. It was the first time the new hall has been seen by the public, and although it was not crowded there was not seating capacity lor tbe large audlenoe, and many were compelled to stand.

The hall, of itself architecturally attractive, was-handsomely deoorated with Chinese lauterns pendant from the chandeliers. The stage has not yet been built, and a platform was improvised for the occasion. It was the first time that the ball had been used for any public gathering, and tbe singers and those who spoke pronounced It admirably adapted for concert Committees of young men from the association assisted the ladies as ushers and iu serving refreshments. Tne concert programme was admirably arranged, aud inoluded some of tbe best musical talent in the city. The opening number was an instrumental piano solo, "The by Mr.

Frank Keilbnob. Mr. Richardson followed with a very effective recitation. Mrs. Wade sang aud Master Eddie Connor played a seieoted violin solo.

A quintette, by Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Gustlti, Gross, and Messrs. Frierson and ileadick completed tbe first part of the programme. Misses Gross played an instrumental piano duet, Witches in opening the second part, and were followed by T.

F. Collins with a character song in which he appeared clad as a ghost. Mr. Kine gave a trombone solo and Mr. J.

Rogan announced the refreshment programme. Tables were spread on the norm side of the hall, where a regular supper and lunches were served. The arrangements, in view of tbe fact that the hall is not yet furnished, were very complete. Nearly every one alter the conoert and refreshments, visited the association parlors and reading rooms and gymnasium on the second floor of tbe building, and many were astonished at the success since it was organized less than a year ago.
