pauy in the Central's plan of reorgani¬

it has been evident for some days
that the scheme would be a success,
Confidence has been growing and as a
result there is a good demand for all
Central Railroad stock at a considerable
advance over recent ligures and there
are prospects of a further rise. All the
underlying bonds of the system are
also in good demand at advancing prices.
Yesterday Central stock was quoted at
lti 1-2, Southwestern at 84 and Outral
debentures at 24.

uel Spencer of the Southern Railway
Company was seen on his return from
Norfolk and Baltimore today. Ilis prop¬
osition io the city council of Norfolk
has not yet been forwarded as he is

As regards the proposed meeting of
the board of directors of the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railway in Bal¬
timore yesterday, he said that it failed
for want of a quorum but that he had
an informal talk with the members of
the board who were present and made
suggestions ns to some representation
upon the board of the large Interest lo
the securities represented by him,
which were fully concurred in by all
present. These suggestions vie re that
Macon be given three additional mem¬
bers in the board, the three present
members to continue and three promi¬
nent, established business men of At¬
lanta be placed in the directory and
that he and Col. Andrews he chosen to

gests such changes in a board of fifteen
members, four of whom shall bo promi¬
nent business men of Georgia and two
representatives of the Southern Railway
and Macon to have a total representa¬
tion of six members.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
Captain Carter Report* on the
Savannah River.
By Bouthem Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., June 10 -—Capt.
Carter, of the »n„meer corps in
charge of me improvements of the
Sav-mnah river, reports to the War
P-partment that in the execution ot
the project for the attainment of a
,depth of twenty-six feet to the ocean,
at mean high tide, a depth of twenty-
four feet is now attained.
The gold reserve is now within $300,-
000 of the $100,000,000 mark. This result
has been attained by the agreement
with the Morgan-Belmont syndicate,
by which the Treasury has already
received $58,000,000 in gold, leaving $7,-
000,000 still due from the syndicate.
By the terms of their agreement, it
will be remembered, they were to pre¬
vent the export of gold, and since the
date of their contract, Feb. 8, very
little gold has been exported, and the
redemptions, while still larger than
normal, have not reached, in the pe¬
riod since Feb. 8, quite $7/70,000. At
the present time the Treasury is re¬
ceiving considerable gold from the
mints sent there for coinage, and the
checks in payment, while payable In
gold, are usually paid in silver notes,
the holders not usually desiring gold
notes or legal tenders for them. The
last date on which the gold reserve
was intact was Dec. 14, 1894.
The last Congress appropriated $238,-
000 to pay accrued sugar bounties and
$5,000,000 to pay bounties on sugar pro¬
duced between Aug. 28, 1894, and June
30. 1895, and regulations and forms for
the filing of claims for both classes
o f bounties were approved today at
Treasury Department by Secre-
Carlisle, and will be issued in
printed form by the collector of inter¬
nal revenue of the several districts
on and after July 1, next. All the ac¬
crued sugar bounty claims will be
paid in full, but it is not believed
that the $5,000,000 appropriated for the
payment of bounties on sugars pro¬
duced between Aug. 28. 1894, and June
30, 1895, will be sufficient to pay the
bounties of this claim in full. If this
should be the case the claims will bs
pro rated, and instead of receiving 8-10
of a, cent a pound for the sugar pro¬
duced as contemplated by the act of
Congress, producers will receive only
7-10 of a cent a pound, or 6-10, as the
case may be.
Fernnndina Protest*.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, V. C., June 1,0.—The cit¬
izens of Fenandina, Fla., have protest¬
ed to the Treasury Department against
statements published in certain papers
that the harbor of that city is not suf¬
ficiently deep to permit the United
.States steamship Raleigh to enter It.
They make the statement that the Ral¬
eigh draws 18 feet of water, and their
harbor floats vessels drawing 21 feet of
water.
GRAY, JONES COUNTY, GA., JULY 3, 1895
THE SUPREME COURT.
Justice Hnrlnn Say* the Law* Gov¬
erning It Should De Changed.
Rochester, N. Y., June 20.—Justice
Harlan, of Ihe Supreme Court of Iho
United States, has been In Rochester
since Saturday visiting his son. Justice
Harlan expects to return to Washing¬
ton soon. When asked concerning too
present condition if Ihe calendar of the
Supreme Court, which for years has
been overcrowded, and if the recent leg¬
islation would help the judges dispose
of the questions notv before them, he
replied:
“Many eases which, under the pre¬
vious system, were taken from the Oir-
cuit Courts of the United States, di¬
rectly to the Supreme Court of the Uni¬
ted States, now g to the Courts of
Appeals for finil leeislon. Before the
present system was adopted, the nuiubei
of eases on tile docket at the Supreme
Court at the close of each term was
betwleen BOO and 1,000. At the clou*
of tlie recent term the number was a
little over <100, and this included such
eases as came up on tne docket during
tlie term. After a few years, probably
after three years, unless our jurisdiction
be greatly enlarged, tlie court will be
able, under the present system, by ail the
close of each term, to dispose of the
cases that are on its docket at the be¬
ginning of the term. As to what addi¬
tional legislation is required, it is diffi¬
cult to say. In one respect there ought
to be a change. Under the existing Idws
many criminal cases got to tlip Supreme
Court that ought to go to the Circuit
Courts of Appeal and bo there finally
determined. In another particular, the
present statutes are very defective A
m,-in convicted in a State court of crime
against tlie laws of the State, may pre¬
sent to a Circuit Court of the United
States an application for a writ of ha¬
lloas corpus, claiming that he is re¬
strained of his liberty ill violation of
the Constitution of tlie United States.
The Circuit Court may deny the applica¬
tion upon the ground that no Federal
rig-lit has been invaded by the proceed¬
ings in the State court. The applicant
then prosecutes a writ of error, or ap¬
peal Co the Supreme Court of the Uni¬
ted States. Now the existing statutes
forbid anything being done in execution
j>f judgment of a State court until the
matter is disposed of in tlie Supreme
Court of the United States. Many oases
have been brought to our court in tills
mode, when there was no reason what¬
ever to say that the State law or the
proceedings in the State courts involved
any violation of the Federal Constitu¬
tion. Applications have been made for
writs of habeas corpus for the purpose
only of delaying proceedings in the State
courts. The claim that a Federal right
lias been invaded has been in many
easi s a fraudulent pretense to gain
time. Such proceedings interfere with
tile due administration by tlie States
of their criminal laws. It is to be hoped
that the present law will lie so changed
that no writ of error will lie from an
order of a Circuit Court of the United
States.” refusing a writ of habeas cor¬ the
pus, in favor of one convicted in
State courts of crimes against State
law unless such error is allowed by the
Supreme justice Court of of tlie the Supreme United States,^ Court. or

CONEY ISLAND SPORTS.
Tlie Ten Prlnelpnl* x*-ie»ted Sntnr-
(Ia»- z-ast Arraigned Yesterday.
By Southern Associated Press.
Coney Island, N. Y., June 21 Tin.
ten principals who wore arrested last
Saturday night at the Seaside Athletic
Club, were called for examination be¬
fore Justice Nostrand, in tile Best
Brighton Police Court this morning.
Lawyer Stapleton appeared for the de¬
fendants and District Attorney Calla¬
han was on hand to look after the in¬
terests of the people. The complaint
lodged against tlie defendants by tlie
police was that the said defendants vio¬
lated seetion 458 in carrying on a ring
or prize fight. After the district attor¬
ney and Mr. Stapleton had talked the
matter over for fifteen minutes it was
decided to test the ease with Eddie
Pierce, who was knocked out that night
by Young Corbett.
Enough testimony was introduced to
hold Pierce, and the latter was held in
$5(Hl hail, to await the action of the
grand jury. Young Corbett waived ex¬
amination and was also held for (lie
grand jury. Both were released on bail.
The others were held for the grand jury
with the exception of James Humphreys,
who acted as one of the seconds that,
night. The judge allowed him to go on
account of insufficient testimony.
COLLEGE "athTTETICS OFF.
Ynlc nml Harvard Decline to Par¬

By Southern Associated Press.
New York. June 20.—A soecial cable-
grain from London to the Mail and Ex¬
press says: It is reported here that the
Oxford University Athletic club has
received a cablegram from Harvard to
the effect that the American college de¬
clines to make any arrangements for the
carrying out of the proposed eompe:ition
at athleiics between an Oxford-Oam-
bridge team and one made up of Har¬
vard and Yale men. The reasons for-
this action are to be given in a lottar
to which reference is made in the cable¬
gram. This will cause the abandonment
of the proposed meeting.
The Central’* Underwriter*.
Now York, June 20.—The syndicate
that has underwritten the Georgia Cen¬
tral reorganization plan includes the
strongest and most influential banking
houses and capitalists in the streets. It
is understood that the nnderv rii Jng com
mittee makes possible payments aggre¬
gating close to $15,000,000, and confi¬
dence in the success of the plan is so
strong that offers to underwrite wore
largely in excess of the amount required.
The success of the plan is now practi¬
cally assured.

THE OUTLOOK
ENCOURAGING.
SOUTH AALANTIO STATES HAVE
NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OP.
COLLECTIONS ARE SLOW HUT BUS¬
INESS GOOD.
Cotton Hhs Fallen 3-ltl During: the
Pn*t Week.
New York, June 28.—Hradstreet’s to¬
morrow will say: Dominating business
conditions of the week show contin¬
ued large demand for and further in¬
crease in prices for iron and steel
which have surprised even the trade.
The jump in rail prices, and scarcity
of. and higher quotations for, plates
and rails, have tended to produce
temporary scarcity. With the further
advances In prices of iron and steel
should be coupled the gain of one
cent per pound for the week which
apparently began Us journey to a
higher level about*a fortnight ago.
Better quotations have also been made
for cheaper grade woolen goods, 2 l-2o.
per yard for prints, Bessemer pig, bil¬
lets, wheat, pork, lard, hogs, shoes
and copper, while declines in prices are
recorded for flour, corn, oats, coffee,
cotton, naval stores and cattle. Su¬
gar, coal and lumber are practically
unchanged.
Total bank clearings $1,011,000,000,
while smaller for all cities than a
week ago by 6.5 per cent, are 32 per¬
cent. larger than in the last week of
June, 1894; 6 per cent, larger than in
that week in 1893 a month after the
pace had gotten fully under way but
2 per cent, smaller than in the cor¬
responding week in 1892.
Business failures in the United
States for six months as reported to
Bradstreet’s show a marked falling
off in the second quarter of the past
six months, which was to be expected
but not so great a decline relatively
as in the second quarter of 1894, which
results in a total for six months of
6,597, or 1 per -cent, more than last
year, 6 per cent, more than in 1893 and
9 per cent, more than the first half ot
1891, after the Baring crash. But the
total liabilities have shrunk more than
3,000,000 from last year and move than
1-2 within two years, the excess in
the number of failures being due rath¬
er to continued effects of the recent
business disturbance on smaller enter¬
prises than to new and unfavorable
conditions.
At New York there is nearly the
usual volume of mid-summer trade in
staple goods.
At Philadelphia the improvement in
demand for staples and for iron and
steel as well as at Pittsburg is again
conspicuous. There is relatively less
gain at Buffalo but at Baltimore the
outlook for fall business is regarded
as excellent. This should mean better
business in tne youth but merchants
at almost all leading cities in that
region report that the demand contin¬
ues moderate and collections are
slow. Cotton and fruit crops in the
South Atlantic States promise well,
and the business outlook is reported
encouraging. Incessant rains in Texas
have hurt the crops. Increased ship¬
ments by Galveston jobbers are re¬
ported due rather more to railway
freigh* rate war than to increased
demand.
Dunn &■ V o’*. Review.
New York, June 28.—It. G. Dun &
Co's, trade review says: The half year¬
ly report of failures next week will
include about 6,900 against 7,039 for
the first half of last year and liabili¬
ties of about $88,000,000 against $101,~
578,152 last year. But for the cordage
concern the aggregate would be only
23 per cent, less than last year, and
the manufacturing liabilities 26 per
cent, less, but including it the manu¬
facturing liabilities will he about $40,-
000,000 against $41,376,102 last year, but
trading $45,000,000 against $52,345,978
last year, while miscellaneous liabili¬
ties were only $2,700,000 against $7,-
856,072 last year. Failures for the past
week have been 256 in the United
States against 214 last year and 23
in Canada against 35 last year. Busi¬
ness is better, although the crop out¬
look affecting prospects beyond the
near future, is a little less distinct.
Cotton has fallen 3-16 to. 7 cents, in
spite of reports of serious injury by
rains in Texas and Louisiana. A lit¬
tle buying by Northern spinners sur¬
prises the market, for their takings
have been more than enough for the
year's consumption. The labor trou¬
bles are passing with frequent ad¬
vances in the rate of wages paid. Iron
still advances, Bessemer selling tot
$12.90 at Pittsburg and grey forge at
$10.80, a further advance in structu¬
ral iron is expected, the Western de¬
mand for steel rails at the advance
of $2 per ton is quite good, the rise
in bar is maintained and plate and
sheet mills are crowded so that it is
difficult to place orders at current pri¬
ces. The closing of its contract by the
syndicate raises the Treasury reserve
above $100,000,000 but the certainty
that no more gold is to be imported
by the bankers makes foreign ex¬
change stronger and If a large part ot
the bonds taken abroad have been re-
sold to this country deliverable as
soon as possible, as some believe, the
heavy merchandise imports for June
at New York, 48 per cent, larger than
last year, against exports about 2 per
cent, smaller, will render exports of
gold altogether probable. Money still
comes hither from the West in
amounts varying in about $50,000 daily
and commercial loans are enlarged,
particularly on iron and other manu-
ufacturing paper. The volume of busi¬
ness represented by exchanges through
the principal clearing houses Is tot
the past week 35.8 larger than last
year, a really surprising gain, and la
only 7 per cent, less than In 1892, while
the average for the month Is 28.8 pet
cent, larger than last year and 7.1 per
cent, less than In 1892. The return Is*
highly encouraging. In spite of th*
comparative magnitude of speculative
operations.
Southern Iron.
Birmingham, June 28.—The Age-Her¬
ald will print the following tomorrow
morning: Iron was advanced $ I a ton yes¬
terday by the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Co., which makes a total advance of
$2.73 a ton since the 15th of March,
and the indications are that it is not
done rising yet. Prices ruling in the
Birmingham iron market yesterday were
as follows: No. 1 foundry $11.75: No. 2
feundary $11.25; No. 3 foundry $!•; No.
1 soft $0.25; No. 2 soft $0; gray forge
$8.75; mottled $8.75. The Tennessee
Coal and Iron and Railroad Company
sold a considerable lot of iron at the
new price yesterday and the market is
active and continues <> strengthen day
by day. An Age Herald repavter called
on President Baxter, of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Co., at his private resi¬
dence yesterday for the purpose of in¬
terviewing him. iMr. Baxter was in,the
best of spirits and in response to the re¬
porter's questions said:
“We made the advance in iron today
because we were selling more iron at
tin' former price than we were making
and on account of activity and strength
of the market, and also to put us on nil
equal footing with the Northern and
Eastern market. The advance today of
$1 a ton makes a total advance of $2.25
we .have had on our iron sdnee March
15th. The advance of Bessemer iron at
tile same time lias been $3.50. Under
this prioe coal miners working in mines
of the Tennessee Coni and Iron and
Railroad Co. in this district, are entitled
to an advance in their wages of 50c. a
ton for mining coal. So soon ns we an¬
nounced the advance in iron we immedi¬
ately notified the miners that from and
after July 1 they would receive 50 cents
a ton more for mining than we have
been paying them. Notices to this ef¬
fect have been posted today at all our
coal mines in Alabama. The Tennes¬
see Coal and Iron and Railroad Co. have
about 3,000 miners employed and the
increase in wages amounts to about 15
per cent. The people of this commun¬
ity have great cause to he congratulated
on tliis advance in tile price oi iron and
the increase of wages of miners as Bir¬
mingham is more largely identified with
the coal and iron industries than any
other Southern city. They will derive
beneficial results from the advance in
iron and wages. It means a great deal
more money for distribution and eiroula-
tion, and will attract Libor.”
Continuing Mr. Baxter said: ‘‘This
advance Ui iron today brings it up in the
prices of 1803, but it is still lower than
the prices that prevailed prior to the
panic of 1803.”’
Mr. Baxter predicted that Iron would
go still higher this year than ever. In
sneaking of coni Mr. Baxter said the
Tennessee Coal and Iron and Railroad
Co. were opening the Henry-iEllon mines
located 20 miles east of Birmingham
the Southern Railway. By July 1st
they would he ready to ship coal from
the mine there. The company has spent
a large am Hint of money cleaning out
the mine at that point, which has been
closed the lust four years, and during
the fall and the winter they expect to
make a large amount of superior coal.
The coal mined there is equal to that
obtained from any mine in Alabama
for grate uses.
Lumber is another article which is
innmifactimd on an extensive scale in
Alabama. A prominent lumber dealer
stated to an Age-dlerald reporter yester¬
day tlnil he ox pelted an advance in the
price of lumber in a few days. He said
lumber and inn usually rise and fall
in about the saute proportion. The de¬
mand for lumber, he said, is good and
the market displays considerable activ¬
ity. The .Tc-uison Lumber Co. located
at Jeminon on the L. & N. road, about
50 inilor sou'll i f Birmingham, lias ad¬
vanced the u ag( s of its employes 12 1-2
per cent.
Hnr Iron Advanced.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 28.—A special to
The Times from Youngstown, O., says:
An importan meeting of the bar iron
manufacturers was held here this after¬
noon and before adjournment it was de¬
cided to advance the price of iliar iron
$2 per ton. The advance goes into ef¬
fect at once and is the second of Iho
same amount, in a short time. Another
advance in a few (lays is probable, as
all reports indicate an active demand.
