A bill was (lied in the clerk’s office of the superior court yesterday asking for u receiver lor the Savannah, Dublin and Western Railway Company. An injunc tion is also asked for. The bill was liled by William IT hcrRU- Bon A Co., who had contracted to grade about seventy miles of the road. On Wed nesday a temporary injunction was granted by Judge James M. Boynton at Forsyth, wno appointed Salomon Cohen temporary receiver for the company. Judge Boynton was asked to grant tne injunction because Judge Adams is absent from the state. The bill is for the benedt of Messrs. Fergu son A Co., and such other creditors as may desire to become parties against the Ha- vannnh, Dublin and .Western Short Line Railway Compony. THE CONTRACTORS. The firm of Ferguson A Co. is composed of William II. Ferguson and F. M. Fergu son, who claim to be citizens of Illinois. They show that on April 20, 188(1, J. II. Powers contracted ivitli the Savannah, Dublin and Western to do all the “grad ing, grubbing and clearing” for the rail way company for tlie lirst forty miles of the road from Savannah westward. Two days after that contract Ferguson A Co. claimed that they took Powers’ contract off of his hands, by consent of the road. They then went to work on the road and expended a large sum of money in grading it and incurred heavy obligations. For all the work done the railway company 1ms failed to pay the orators, so they state, anything the of extraordinary acuteness, courage and political sagacity, says the Portland Ore gonian, was “nothing but an old maid.” Marin Edgeworth, whose writings prompt ed Walter Scott to begin the Waverly nov els, was nn old hinid; so was Jane Porter; so was Joanna Bnillie; so ivns Mnry Rus sell Milford, Jane Austen, whom Macau lay awards a very high place in the Held of Action.

Nine years ago the little town of Toledo, the sent of Cumberland county, 111., was the scene of one of the most re- mnrkable trials known in criminal annals, in which well known detectives of Cincin nati and prominent attorneys of Indiana figured. The ease was them’ore remarkable because the lives of a number of persons were.involved, and the result went to show how close one could come to death and yet escape, and what little circum stances, taken advantage of, occasionally change the aspect of affairs and defeat the ends of justice. . I tempted robbery. He said that it had Toledo was not the name that charming been broached to him by St. Claire and quite conclusive up to a certain point, and there the prosecution utterly tailed. Plaster of paris cast* had been taken of the footprints about the water tank. One of these, it was found, was so small that it was evidently that of a woman. It was quite muddy there, and the footprints of this person were also found upon the en gine cab. Tlie detective conjectured at once that the Osgood woman, dressed in men's clothing, and Shewmaker had been the persons who had sprang upon the cal) and had killed the engineer. The prosecution endeavored to prove this and utmost suc ceeded in establishing their point, when Mr. Lamb introduced the evidence of two reputable physicians of Indianapolis, who testified that upon the night of the attack they had been called to attend the Osgood woman and had remained with her nil night and part of the next day. This stag gered the prosecution and almost quashed their ease. The next day Detective Hazen was not about Perry City, but the day fol lowing he again turned up, and with a man whom he claimed would be a most important witness. It was Big Ed Hennessy, one of the smartest confidence men and general crooks in the country, a man well iknown in this city and who recently escaped from a Pinkerton detective just as he was about to be nabbed in a Vine street resort. In this case Hennessy unquestionably told the truth, as there was no doubt of his knowing all about the robbery. Among other things found about the scene of the attempted robbery was an old black slouch lint, a visor, and an old pair of handcuffs. Hennessy was placed upon the stand and swore that lie was a party to the at- J ESTABLISHED 1874. Buckim little city was known by at Unit time.

Ferguson A Co. submit that to allow such sale, alienation or incumbrance, to the prejudice of the claim and lien of the the .orators, would be a fraud and « gross injustice, and would do the creditors great injury. The orators say also that upon tile faith of the railway company’s obligations they themselves contracted many obligations for sub-work, materials, supplies, etc. THE CONTRACTORS EMBARRASSED. By the failure of the railway company to comply with its obligations the con l per onTrontodny the two men the engineer at once placed hi.s hand in his hip pocket. He carried his purse there, and undoubt edly meant to give it up. Scarcely hud lie st irted to reach for it than one of the men fired, and thu poor fellow fell back dead alongside the engine. To the fire man’s surprise one of the men grasped the lever, the throttle ilew open, and the en gine and express car, minus the remainder of the train, shot by him and down the track. He watched it as long as possible, and then heard considerable shooting of firearms. The express messenger, a brave fellow named Burke, was in his ear, and of course heard the shot that caused the engineer’s death. He immediately surmised what was up, and determined to hold on, and to only give up his trust with his life. The engine ran down the track about a half mile or more when it suddenly came to a tractors say that they have been greatly stop.

SHUTTING OFF A DEAL, The sixth prayer is that the railway company be directed to desist from oper ating the road or using it in any manner, transferring, selling or encumbering it until further order of the court. For excavations and embankments, 10c. per cubic yard was to be paid; for grubbing and cleaning *'20 an acre, and for extra haul per 100 feet, Jc, per cubic yard. It is stated in the contract that “as’each sec tion of ten miles is completed in a satisfac tory manlier it will be accepted by the en gineer, estimated and paid for without de lay, with the exception of 10 per cent., which will lie retained until the comple tion of the contract.” The contract was to be finished by July 1st, 1888, and the contractors were to put up a forfeit offollO. Judge Boynton set September 10 for the hearing before Judge Adams or such other judge as may be presiding in his stead. The attorneys for Ferguson A Co. are Messrs. Jemison and Rein, of Macon. DEMANDING THE BOOKS. Mr. Sam H. Jemison was in Savannah yesterday, and with Mr. Salomon; Cohen formally demanded of Mr. T. F. Johnson, treasurer of the company, all of the books, accounts, moneys, etc., oi the company. expri ... , ran. The robbers, becoming frightened, soon made themselves scarce, shooting as they fled, and wounding several passen gers. The fireman took charge, the en gine wus run back and connected with the passenger eip's, and in a few hours the train drew up at Terre Haute, and the af fair was explained to the authorities. The railroad and the express company immediately offered a reward of *12,000, and other rewards brought the total up to the neat sum of .*17,500. Of course a num ber of detectives were after the rewards. Among the number that took hold was the Hazen Detective Agency of Cincinnati. Detective Larry Hazen had made consider able of a reputation in express robbery eases. In connection with an operator from a St. Louis agency,he went to Indian apolis, from there to Terre Haute, and was not long in connecting the persons named above with the attempted robbery, lie rightly conjectured that some person connected with the train had taken a hand. The uncoupling of the express car and engine from the balance of the train was the work of a person who understood the business. One day while in Indianap olis the girl Jennie Osgood was pointed out to him as a “friend” of “Bud” Shew maker, the baggageman on the train upon which the robber was attempted. He also learned that Jennie had lived forsome time at the house of a fellow named St. Claire, „ , • at Terre Haute, and a visit to that place Mr. Johnson asked to be allowed to con- ( aml a qu j et investigation showed him that suit counsel before complying, and the re- i a ] m0 st every woman there knew more or quest was granted.

He had written Detective Ha zen,' telling of his part in the attack on the train, and promising to turn state’s evidence providing lie was released from prison and no harm should beiall him* Limb knew this, and upon cross examina tion made Hennessy admit it. The big fellow had also claimed that the slouch hat found belonged to him. After show ing up Hennessy’s character Mr. Lamb succeeded in angering him, and then had him. “How do you know that hat belongs to you?” he asked of Hennessy. “Because I know it does!” was the re- : •spouse, and then angrily he picked it up, : I r—\ jj— r— r—y and placing it upon his head, he continued: j I f 1-^ I— I— I 1 y “Because it tits me, don’t you see?" 1 ■ V*_y • I 1 L L_ L/ I That was just what Mr. Lamb desired. Turning about as quick as a flash, he gatli- ‘ ereil up the visor, and holding it out to j Hennessey, he said: “Here, put this on, too!” “What for?” gasped Hennessy, drawing back. j “1 want this jury to see the man who killed Milo Ames, the engineer!” thunder- I ed tlie great attorney. “The man who | wore Hint lint wore this visor, and is the j man who killed Ames!” I The scene was intensely dramatic, and J instantly there was the greatest eonsterna-'j tion. Hennessy made a spring for the door, but was intercepted, and court ad journed for the day. The next day the eases were dismissed. John Lamb hadj won a great legal victory. Before leaving, however, the jury took a vote, and were one und all in favor of hanging Hennessy for the murder. There never was any doubt in the minds of those acquainted with the circumstances of the case as to the guilt of all. including Hennessy. The mistake (says the teller of the story in the Cincinnati Enquirer) was in trying to con nect Jennie Osgood with the murder. That she wus tlie brains of the party and con cocted the whole thing is well known, but she was not there that night; that small shoe print in the mild and upon tlie en gine eat) was not tlie print of her shoe. It, was tlie print of a relative of St. Claire, a young mall who could wear a No. 2 lady’s shoe, and who was never called even as a witness in the case. St. Claire lias since moved to Indianapolis and the mem bers of the party have scattered about over the country, some being dead and others fugitives from justice. Detective Hazen did good work and had the right people, but his two little mistakes ruined his case and the killing of an innocent man went unavenged. lit CKI.EX’N IIIMI'.I SALVE.
