,, Proomftn weDl inl0 court wit h a
petition asking that the creditors
and E. C. Machen be enjoined from
making any settlement, except in
the way suggested by them, the
attorneys. So now it is not the
question between debtor and
tor, because they havo agreed, but
it is whether tho lawyer will
trol his client or the client his law
yer.
“This most remarkable and pe
culiar feature is entirely new. The
proposition was made four months
ago, in the beginning of the suit,
and submitted to the attorneys
the road. This proposition was de
clined by the attorneys and,as stated
by the creditors, But without letting
them see it. when they did
Ivarofit, determined it was so satisfactory settle
that they to upon
that basis, and about accordingly brought
a movement among them
selves, independent resulted of their attor
neys, and it in a lot mid
proposition being submitted to Mach
on, which was uncoupled by him and
was ratified by the creditors unani
mously in their individual capacity.
‘‘Machen presented himself here,
in Macon, with the money to make
the settlement in advance of the
time stipulated, with and petition the attorneys
now come in a asking
that he be restrained from having
any dealings that did not embrace
them.
“The most novel feature of llio
whole case is this, that the same
attorneys brought the case into
on u statement of insolvency, and
claiming that of they were acting in
the capacity protectors and de
fenders of the poor creditors. r Fhe
company having demonstrated
ability to meet all of its
and it desires to do, the same
torneys now appear in court iu
rect nntagon ism to the wishes
the clients, who want nothing
the money that is duo them.”
From the able array of
guished attorneys, it would
that there was something more
hind this movement than the
desire to protect the poor
clients. Jtnlgo tiustin has
ed the30th day of January as
day on which the petition will
heard before him. An
meeting of tbo creditors will be licit]
tonight at the Hotel Lanier. In
meantime, work on the ro.vd

Albany, N. Y., has originated the

suck and the seductive fraud scut
to the victim. It is funny, but ex
asperating.

When the poet Scheffel was stay
ing in Italy for the benefit of bis
health lie received a letter from a
friend in Germany—as unfranked
letter—containing nothing but the
words: “Iain well. With kind re
gards. Yours, etc.” Annoyed at
having to pay double postage for
such an insignificant piece of Dews,
the poet determined to servo his
friend out. lie procured a large
stone of immense weight, packed it
in a box, and sent it to his corres
pondent, “Carriage collect.” The
latter, believing the contents
of the parcel were valuable, gladly
paid the heavy charge for carriage,
opened the box, and found, to hi s
horror, nothing but an ordinary
stone, bearing a label on which was
written : “On receipt of the news
that you were in good health, the
accompanying load rolled off my
heart.”
