All solicitors and sheriffs are resl rained from prosecuting or making arrests for violation, of said arts. Tlio order was Issued by judge Thomas (!.

If arrests are made under slate laws, part ion making the arrests rati he fined or Imprisoned at the tllscrc tlon of the Judge, In which cas the Issue would be dearly drawn as to the jurisdiction of courts.

Chilntlan, father of Mrs. Julia Jack son Preston, only grand-daughter of General Stonewall Jackson, denounc ed Edinond Randolph Preston, the young Virginian to whom she was married a few days agd, at Salisbury, N. C, after an elopement. Mr, Christian says: VI desire to say In behalf of my son, who la now a cadet at West Point, and In behalf of myself, that the causa of this runaway match was an objec tion by my ion and myself, based on the fact that; Mr. Preston's mother died of epileptic fits at a sanitarium, and that his grandfather had epilep tic fits. "We have pleaded with her for ovsr twelvi months, through physicians and otherwise, to prevent her from throw ing herself away, but sho has been trapped, and the friends of mine throughout the ' south' who know' the iH-ilimsthnees, are deppVy grieved that tbla splendid, innocent girl should have traffic and Interfere with tho mails. Careful observers of the situation anticipate a serious state of affairs, as they believe it. Is tho purpose of the state to insist on Indictment, and arrests for violation of tho laws, even If they are restrained. Looks Like L. & X. Seeks Trouble. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 15. The action-of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in secuiinf,' an injunction in tho federal court against arrests or other interference by the state of Ala bama for failure on tho part of the j road to put Into effect, the lower i freight and passenger rates agreed to by l bo Southern and oilier railroads In compromise with the slate, is re garded In many clrrljs as precipitate, and pulr the "Winn' V," it is con strued, in the position of seeking light. As far at- the Louisville H Nashville Is concerned, these laws were already enjoined bv federal courts Ihrough action taken last March befoic Judge Jones at Mont gomery, and this 'injunction is still in , force, except where I he Southern and j other roads ' themselves asked for i nKxIilie.it ion .of the order. If arrests or Louisville ft Nashville t agents are made to enforce the en joined laws, Ihe stale would have precipitated uciion and the Louisville ft Nashville could appeal to Judge Jones to see that his orders were obeyed, and plead that, the state was In contempt of federal court. As il is, the road lakes the position that the state does not 'Intend to respect Ihe injunction of Judge Jones, and j literally waves the red flag. lover I nor Comer has (lone some strenuous talking, to lie sure, but the slat" lias absolutely obeyed Judge .lores' In junction. The Louisville ft Nashville may have something tip its sleeve jus tifying Its latest move, but on the surface there appears to have been too direct effort to gel Into con II let with tte state. Meanwhile there is this element in the caso not to be for gotten: Tho lower freight and . pas senger tariffe will go into effect on tho Southern and other roads on Sep tember 1st. If tho Louisville & Nash ville does not. put them into effect at the same time they will suffer greatly In loss of competitive business. I - -' "'" SON-IN-LAW been practically ruined, as far as hor descendants are concerned. (Signed) "W. E. CHRISTIAN." Preston is a grandson of General Preston, who served on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. General Preston married Miss Margaret Junkln, after ward famous as Mrs. Margaret Pres ton, the poetess. She was a sister of Stonewall Jackson's first wife. Pres ton Is also descended from the Ran rinlphs, of Virginia. Ho Is a prominent lawyer of Charlo'tte, N. C., and a lead Ing member of tho North Carolina legislature. Mr. B. S. Preston, an Atlanta news paper man, a brother or K. Randolph Preston, today made the following statement to the Hearst News Service In behalf of his brother: "The statement of W. E. Christian, that my mother died Insane Is with out foundation on fact. It Is not true that elgther of my grandfathers was subject to epilepsy. Both were prom inent in Virginia. My father's father, Colonel J. T. L. Preston, was a life long friend of Stonewall Jackson. Dr. B..M. Smith, m. mother's father, was for forty years professor in Union Theological Seminary. Dr. John A. Preston, my father, was a widely known Presbyterian minister, being pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte at tho time of his death. "Mrs. Stonewall Jackson has approv ed of tho match of my brother and Miss Christian and the marriage would have taken place at her home In Char lotte, N. C.f this autumn but for the objection of Miss Christian's parents." Christian's card attacking young Preston has caused ' much surprise In Atlanta, where Preston Is' well known. The Prestons are descended from the Randolphs and Prestons of Virginia, and Colonel Preston was on the staff of "Stonewall" Jackson, who was grandfather of the girl with whom E. Randolph Preston eloped. ' Colonel Preston married a Miss Margaret Jun klm who was a sister of Stonewall Jackson's first wife; They were daughters of Rev. Dr. Junkln, who was dismissed as president of Washington (now Washington & Loe) University, because ie refused td allow the union flag hauled down at the beginning of the civil war. He was originally from Pennsylvania and was a union man. Until Christian published his card no- one ever supposed there was any degenerney in the stock from which young Trenton comes. viHtor l.lcnn of or:"i Carolina to ristlit (iovernev ,Sivinsi' l ir- 1 II .V ANNj(!?(r i " " , w, t " I " T 1 O ISPJI fl ginh, lo ,.n i:nl.

Au gust Belmont went to the aid of the Western Union Telegraph .Company In Its conflict with the operators. The order directs that all news ..concerning races should be sent nut over Western Union wires and in no other way, As a direct result of this order the most Inaccurate and uncertain servie-? in years immediately followed. The messenger lines which the poor ser vice of the Western Union had forced the newspapers and new agencies to establish, were stopped by Plnkertons and the great confusion followed the attempts of incompetent anil over worked men to give the service for merly attended to by crack operator!-. Tremendous delay was caused as a result of the order and great incon venience to all spoiling men and in ail places where sporting news from Sar atoga should bo received promptly. Newspaper Service Crippled. Belmont decreed that all mcssag";! should be sent direct to the ' Western Union headquarters nt 1!ir Broadway and from there delivered . by-messenger. The rinkcrtons were ordered to see that the commands were execut ed, refused to allow any one carrying newspaper ropy or other messages to leave the track. So slow was the service over tin wire that the pool room men who b:ul telephones to New York were able to go outside after every race and beat the official results by several minutes.
