TOLLESO.V STILL IX IAII..
HB MAKES A GOOD POINT TN
COURT, BUT IS NOT OUT YBT.
Judge Clarks Should Have Specified
the Assets He Wanted Surrendered-
The Prisoner's Confinement Now On
the Ground That He Is in Contempt of
Court.
Atlanta, Ga.. April 14.—The supreme
eoart rendered a second decision in the cele
brated Tolleson case to-d iv. The last time
that worthy claimed to have been impris
oned for debt, and asked his discharge
under a writ of habeas corpus. But in this
instance he attacked the pleading of the
lawyers and the ju igment of Judge Mar
shall Clarke, both of which, be said, failed
to specify of wbat the assets consisted for
t rie production of which they held him ac
c untable. He insisted further that the order
for his confinment was issued prior to the
time when he was made a party to the suit
ngainst the Mercantile Bank, against which
alleged corporation the suit was brought by
the People's Savings bank.
THE POINT SUSTAINED.
The supreme court held that the pleadings
were defective m that they did not allege
the amount and character of the assets;
indeed the plea seemed in one place to charge
t hat there were no assets. The judgment of
the court was also lacking in the same pa--
ticular. It failed to show what assets the
court found to belong to the corpora ion or
to be under Tolleson’s control. It might
legally be presumed, however, that there
were assets belonging to the bank, and that
Tolleson, at the time the bill was served
upon him, had some of such assets in his
possession, which he refnsed to surrender,
and that the order committing him to jail
implied that he was in contempt for so re
fusing.
won’t get out just yet.
The order sending him to jail was not
therefore void, though irregular. It should
have stated the amount and character of
the assets, that Tolleson and the receiver
might know what the former had to do to
comply with the order and obtain his dis
charge As it is now, should the present
judge die or resign, his successor will bo
unable to tell when the prisoner had purged
himself of the contempt; yet it did not fol
low that Tolleson should be di charged.
Had ho shown a disposition to comply with
the order of the court, by surrendering
something substantial, the case would have
been very different.
JUDGE CLARKE’S RULING AFFIRMED.
In conclusion it was ordered that the
judgment of the court below be affirmed
with direction to the trial judge to amend
his order by inserting therein the amount
and character of the assets which he found
that Tolleson bad at the time of the
trial. It seems pretty clear that
Tolleson has gained a point; if not
a qualified victory, but no one can foresee
the result of the decison as yet. The work
is evidently on Judge Clarke to name the
assets Tolleson had according to evidence
before the court at the time of his impris
onment. Several thousand dollars have
been discovered since, but they would not
come under the ruling <. What property
does come under it that the judge will have
to specify is unknown. He has refused to
talk.
ROUTES OF RAILROAD3.
An Important Decision as to the
Right to Change Them.
Atlanta, Ga.. April It—An important
decisioaof the state supreme court this
rooming was in the case of the Macon and
Birmingham railroad vs. Starns and others,
who wished to force the road under an act
of the recent legislature to build through
Thomaston. Among other points the court
holds that a corporation having power, by
its charter granied in IN'S, to locate and
construct its road where it may think
proper, may, by amendment to its charter
made after the company has located, but
before it has constructed its road, be con
fined to a i ■articular route on certain pre
scribed conditions as to a p irtion of the line
through a given countv. This results from
the reserved power of the state declared in
sections 1651, 1682 of the code, to with
draw the franenises or change, modify or
destroy the corporation at the will of its
creator.
RIGHT OF THE STATE.
The right of the state so to amend the
charter is not in any degree abridged or
affected by executory contracts between
the company and a construction company,
and between the latter aDd sub-contractors
touching the construction and equipment
of the road. In so far as the amendmant
may render the performance of these con
tracts impossible, the impossibility will re
sult from an act of law, and performance
to that extent will be excused. Ail parties
contracting with a corporation must take
notice of the conditions on which it holds it
bolds its franchise, and of its submission to
the legislative will.
HOW MODIFICATION MAY BE MADE,
i Any allowable modification of the charter
of a private corporation may be male by
an amendment adding a proviso to one of
its sections. A substantial, not a literal con
formity of a law to its title is required by
the constitution. The amending act under
this construction does not contemplate that
the town of Thomaston shall or may devote
municipal funds to the purpose specified,
but that the town as a community or the
citizens may, if they think proper, con
tribute voluntarily from their private
means and thereby raise a duty on the part
of the railroad company to comply with the
act.
thomaston’s interest.
The citizens of Thomaston have, as a
vlass. a special and particular interest iu the
matter involved iu this cause and can sup
port an action for the protection of that, in
terest under the special circumstancos as a
condition of continuing the interlocutory
injunction in force. After the amount of
money necessary to be deposited in bank by
the citizens is ascertained, there ought to
be a bond and security roquired that the
deposit will be made at the proper time.
Direction is given that it be so ordered, and
that for any failure to comply with the
order the injunction De dissolved.

3 AIN BRIDGE'S BOOM.
The Town and County Entering on an
l ra of PrcsDerity.
Bainbridge, Ga., April 14.—Bainbridge,
and m fact all Decatur county is entering
upon an era of progress and en
terprise unknown in its past history. The
Alabama Midland railroad has opened up
all the western part of the county. There
are farms, flourishing villages, turpentine
farms, saw-mills, etc., springing up along the
line. Among these are Brinson, Brooklyn,
Donaldsonville, end the Chattahojcbeo
river bridge opposite Gordon in Alabama.
These things have greatly enhanced land
values an 1 big deals in timbered lands are
not infrequent.
Bainbridge, feeling the inspiration, has
begun to build and improve at a rapid rate.
I>ast year she built sixteen nice residences
of modern style, ranging in cost from
SI.OUJ to $6,006. She also put on successful
footing a '-’gar manufactory employing ten
hands, which manufactured Decatur county
raised tobacco as good as any raised in
Florida, or elsewhere in the United States.
A $40,000 saw mill, opposite the city on the
river, by Messrs. £. Swindell & Cos., has
been busily employed since its completion
on contracts for foreign shipment via Apa
lachicola, and have contracts on file that
will engage them all this year. This mill
employs from fifty to seventy-five hands,
and their pay roll is quite an item in our
local circulation.
AN ICE FACTORY AND ELECTRIC LIGHT
plant were added to our other local enter
prises last week, and these are botn now in
process of construction. The ice factory
will be a Jten-ton plaat, and the electric
light will he ample in capacity for ail local
demands, and of the Edison incandescent
make. The city has taken fifty lights for
her streets, and the plant will be operated
by a local company. Toe ice factory will
be ir. operation in thirty days—the electric
light plant within sixty days.
AN SS,OOO BRICK ACADEMY.
The city will vote to issue SB,(KM) 20-year
bonds, bearing 0 per cent, interest, and
build and thoroughly furnish and equip a
commodious and elegant brick academy
during the coming summer, and have the
same ready for use at tho opening of the
fall session of the graded school. The suc
cess of the project is certain.
AN INVESTMENT AND IMPROVEMENT COM
PANY
is in process of organization, and will cer
tainly prove of incalculable benefit.
The plan is to organize with not
less than 1,000 shares of SIOO
each, the payments of stock subscriptions to
be made payable in $1 monthly installments,
and invest the same as fast as it comes in
in local manufactures, under the direction
of a locai board of directors. The city has
agreed to encourage nil such projects by
relieving them from taxation from five to
ten years. The company will organize this
week.
A GUANO FACTORY AND OIL MILL
are among the certainties also—in conjunc
tion with tho farmers’ alliance. This city
will take one-fourth or one-third the neces
sary stock in a $25,000 to $30,000 plant and
give over the entire management of the
same to the alliancemen. This is the best
point for such an enterprise in Georgia on
account of our railroad and waterway
transportation lines to procure raw mate
rials and to distribute the output
of the mill in Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida. Conference committees from
the city and alliances are now in consulta
tion upon plans for organization and opera
tion, and will report very shortly.
A COTTON COMPRESS
is our next need, and the Improvement and
Investment Company and local capitalists
will probably assure its construction. More

MTiBKGOirS HARD FIGHT.
THE DEFENSE ASKS TO HAVE THE
CASE REOPENED.
John Swain Comes Forward With Tes
timony Favorable to the Accused—
The Request to Be Passed Upon To-
Day—The Jury Understood to Stand
Eleven for Acquittal to One for Con
viction.
Warrkntox, Ga., April 14.—Another
sensation was sprung in the McGregor
trial to-night. Judge Lumpkin held the
jury over till this morning at 10:30 o’clock.
He spent Sunday in Augusta, returning to
Worrenton this morning. The jury had
not reached a verdict, and the judge de
cided to hold it until one was reache 1. He
went over to Sparta and adjourned Han
cock court until the fourth Monday in May.
He returned here at 7:30 o’clock to-uight,
and at .8:30 o’clock went to the court room,
where a sensation was awaiting him. Mr.
Baker, foreman of the jury, came out and
stated that no verdict had been reached be
cause his charge had not been fully under
stood.
WANTS THE CASE REOPENED.
The judge started to read the charge
when Mr. Whithead, attorney for the de
fense, said they wished to reopen the case.
The jury was then sent back to its room.
John Swain, who has been on the stand
twice already, had told the defense
since dark that he kuew some
thing about tho case which would
henetit Col. McGregor. He said to Mr.
Watson, "I have been in agony of suspense
■nli day for fear the jury might convict Col.
McGregor, wneu mv testimony might save
him. Some time before Maj. Cody was to
de tried for ahootiug Col. McGregor he
was iti Gainesville, and I was with him.
WANTED TESTIMONY SUPPRESSED.
“lie said to me that I must not tell what
1 knew iu the rare when 1 came back to
Warrenton. because if 1 did he would cer
tainly be sent to the penitentiary. I was
the only man who could keep him out by
holding back what I knew wuen put on the
witness stand. Maj. Cody continued, say
ing that Col. McGregor should never send
him to the penitentiary. i told him not to
be insinuating that he would kill Col. Mc-
Gregor. He replied that he would go to
VVarrenton, and he knew no Warren
cninty jury would ever convict him for
killing Col. McGregor.”
whitehead’s plea.
Mr. Whitehead argued that the evidence
should lie admitted, as the state had been al
lowed to put iu evidence after the case had
closed.
Solicitor General Howard argued that he
felt equal to managing the stale’s case, but
bethought it uuwise for him to attempt it
on account of the tiersonal feeling in this
case and begged leave to put off considering
this question until Judge Twiggs and Mr.
Lewis, who had gone home, could return
here. Mr. Whitehead argued that they
should not have left, as the case was not
concluded until a verdict was reached, and
they wore not absent by leave of the court.
THE STATE STILL ASKS a POSTPONEMENT.
Mr. Davis, for the state, said it could do
no harm to put the hearing of the argument
off till to-morrow.
Mr. W hiter.ead replied that a few hours
would make no difference to him, as he
would he at home in his bed, but to Col.
McGregor the time was a very long period.
Judge Lumpkin decided to wait for the
arrival of Judge Twiggs and Mr. Lewis be
fore hearing argument as to whether
Swain's testimony shall be admitted.
The jury then returned, and Judge Lump
kin read to them his charge in full.
THE ABSENT MEN TELEGRAPHED FOR.
Judge Twiggs and Mr. Lewis have both
been will be here in the
morning. If the jury should find a verdict
in the meantime it will be all right, as the
verdict now can be nothing unless an ac
quittal. Only one man has been bolding
out for conviction, it is understood, and in
order to starve him to a verdict the jurors
refused to go to dinner until a late hour, but
he was proof against the pangs of hunger.

strike of the Florida Knights of Labor was
declared off last Thursday arid work was
resumed on Perdido tv ha'l in this city Fri
day morning and in the mills of the com
pany at Millview to-day. This ends the
strike so far as it concerns the Florida

with the officers of the Knights of Labor
assembly of .this city during the day. The
Alabama men say that the strike will not
be declared off in Baldwin county until
their demands receive attention, and it is
probable that the members of the executive
boar ! will go to Jacksonville to-night to
confer with the Florida executive board.
Affairs are now badly mixed, and it is im
possible to conjecture how tho matter will
end.

JACKSONVILLE’S DRILL.
The Absurdity of the Kick of the Rifles
Pointed Out.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union ex
poses the absurdity of tbe charge of bribery
male against the judges of the prize drill,
in Atlanta. In the account of the drill pub
lished by the Atlanta Journal was the fol
lowing: “In the first place, a Macon Tele
grapk reporter figures prominently in tho
story, llis name is Reynolds, and he sent
some very sensational dispatches to
liis paper from Jacksonville about
the drill. Here’s tho story the
Rifles tell about Reynolds’ con
duct. After the individual contest he sent
a dispatch to his paper, stating that
McMillan, one of the Atlanta Rifles, had
become enraged at being thrown out, and
had shaken his fist in the judges’ faces.
This the Rifles deny. They say McMillan
should have had the prize, but that he made
no more fuss about it than the rest who
were left. When tlie sensational dispatch
appeared McMillan hunted up Reynolds and
told him what ha tnought of him. Rey
nolds went off and got him a British bull
dog pistol, which ho put iu his hip pocket,
and called on Lieut. Spencer at the hotel
to explain the reaso-i be tent the dispatch.
Some word* passed between them, and
Reynolds suddenly drew bis pistol, and
was about to shoot Lieut. Spencer, when
Quartermaster Sergeant Will Wallace of
the Rifles saw him, snatched the pistol
from hi* hand, and brought it back to At
lanta with hiui. He says Reynolds can
have it by coming after it. Then they say
further that ns soon as the drill was over
the Southern Cadets realized that unless
something was done t be first prize was lost.”
The other allegations made at Atlanta
were printed in the Morning Nkws of
Sunday in a special dispatch from Atlanta.
Referring to the Atlanta story, the Times
t'nion says:
“This story is decidedly amusing. In th 9
first place Private McMillan did use violent
and threatening language to the judges
after their decision in the individual drill
contest, and Capt. Spencer was so ashamed
of him that he afterwards told the Macon
Telegraph correspondent that tie (the eai>-
tain) “felt like wringing McMillan’s neon.”
The judges preserved the most dignified
demeaner during McMillan’s attack.
“The Telegraph correspondent reported
the affair truthfully to his newspaper, but
McMillan, disliking the notoriety thus
given him, sought a quarrel with the cor
respondent. They had some high words on
the parade ground, and McMillan left the
correspondent with the threat chat he would
call around on him that evening and thrash
him.
“About 7 o’clock the correspondent was
standing alone in front of the St. James
register when he was accosted by McMillan,
who said: “We had better go to a room and
tight this thing out, right now.” The cor
respondent said he had no time “to go to a
room,” but was there if McMillan wanted
anything of him, and thereupon took a
position to defend hiraielf against attack.
“Then about a dozen of McMillan’s fri-nds
closed in on the correspondent, who struck
out vigorously with both hands and feet.
He was overpowered, however, by force of
numbers, and held securely while one of the
assailants put his hand in the correspond
ent’s pocket and took his pistol therefrom.
Here the affair ended. McMillan’s friends
were the a sailants—not the correspondent.
“TREASURER” HESS.
“To prove the absurdity of the whole
story as told by the Rifles in Atlanta, one
has only to read what ‘Treasurer’ Hess is
reported to havo said. The treasurer of
the Sub-Tropical exposition is J. M. Schu
macher, the custodian of the citizens’ fund,
John N. C. Stockton. Xo man named Hess
has anything to do with the drill or its
finances. The judges made up their decis
ion and left it with the Sub-Tropical offi
cials. There was no change in it whatever
after it was made. The checks were handed
over to the winners of the prizes as origi
nally made out. The Macon Cadets have
nothing whatever to sue for, and ‘Treas
urer’ Hess, whoever he may be, can refuse
to pay the check till the crack of doom and
it will make no difference.
“In further explanation of the failure of
the Rifles to secure the prize, it may’ be said
that the o omission by Capt.. Spencer of two
orders on the drill programme reduced their
average below that of the Cadets. This
error was not apparent to the audience, for
none of them had the drill programme be
fore them. The judges wore in duty bound
to reduce the Rifles’ score by reason of Capt.
Spencer's two blunders. The Rifl's should
kick at their captain—not at the judges.
“The story that the judges wore 'oribed
by gamblers’ is too absurd and too childish
to be discussed.”
