with seven professors, on the follow
ing subjects. “Land and public

A prominent bnsiness man of Bal
timore was asked the other day,
what, in his estimation, would most
materially aid in the city’s progress.
“Twenty first-class funerals.” It is
rather remarkable that such similari
ty of conditions exists in a great
many other cities besides Baltimore.
At least, we have heard of such.
We are indebted to the Atlanta
Constitution for a lithographic pic

Chas. A. Dana of the Snn, and some

the nuisances the dumping grounds
were, and when the fertilizer works
were located in the same vicinity later
the protest became stronger.
The grand jury had, in a former re
port, declared the dumping grounds a
nuisance and recommended its abate
ment, but no steps were taken. Mean
while, complaints grew louder; and
finally, the works of the fertilizer com
pany were reduced to ashes.
Next, came the fire which destroyed
the city stables, and cremated the live
stock.
The city detectives worked quietly
and patiently on the case, aud from the
evidence they obtained secured indict
ments against Bill Akridge, Jim Ak-
ridge, Tom Elliott, Adolphus Durant
and Will Ogden, and each are indicted
for two cases of arson.
The first bill is for the burning of
the city’s dumping ground property;
and the second for the destruction by
fire of the buildings of the Atlanta Fer
tilizer and Glue company.
The detectives refuse to tell what evi
dence they have against the five men.
but say that it is enough to satisfy any
twelve jurors of their guilt.
When these fires occurred, many of
the citizens who reside in the vicinitv
were anxious to have the matter fer-
retted out and the guilty parties brought
to justice; for, they, with others, felt
that it was the work of incendiaries
and it was done because of the nuisance
the place created, and naturally every
one who was innocent wanted to be ex
onerated before the public. Some of
them wfnt so far as to take up a sub
scription and offer an additional reward
to that offered by the city, for the ar
rest of the guilty parties, with evidence
to convict.
AT THEIR DESTINATION.
Atlanta, May 29.—The hearing of
the Central railroad cases has been con
cluded before Supreme Court Justice
Jackson and the court has set June 26th
as the day and Savannah the place to
settle the question and render a decis
ion.
The most sensational incident of the
proceedings was Justice Jackson’s state
ment as to the duties of a receiver. In
the plainest language he gave notice
that the court would most positively
not sanction the help of any receiver or
officer of the court to farther the
schemes of any reorganization commit
tee. The justice’s statement admits of
no doubt as to construction. If it has
any qualities, they are lucidity and
plainness of meaning.
in view of Justice Jackson’s remarks.
Receiver Comer,if, as has been charged,
is furthering the plans of the reorgani
zation committee, he most at once
cease it.
To the great majority of those hear
ing the statement it was evident that
he intended it as a qualified it as a qual
ified rebuke to Receiver Comer, or at
least a warning to him.
The status of the case which will be
heard in Savannah is about-as follows ;
The question of the validity of the
endorsements or gnarantys made by tbe
Central on the bonds of its auxiliary
roads will be determined.
The question of a final decree in the
suit of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company for the foreclosure of the tri
partite mortgages will also probably be
passed on, and it would seem that un
less some arrangement is made either
by the receiver or by some of the other
parties at interest by which the tripar
tite bonds and the floating debt can be
carried upon favorable terms, that a
doerte of sale will be rendered.
Plica—lag thi Reorganization Plan.
Baltimore, May 29.—The chief sub
ject of discussion in banking circles is
.the Richmond Terminal reorganization
plan, as announced by Drexel, Morgan
& Co. The general feeling among bank
ers and brokers is dissatisfaction with
the plan. Oue hanker said: “It looks
as if tbe attempt is being made to get
rid of all properties guaranteed by tbe
Richmond and Danville system that
have not shown a surplus over operat
ing expenses and fixed chargee. This
is unjust, as many of these guaranteed
roads open up new territory which has
not yet folly developed."
Th« Remains of Jefferson Davis Landed
In Richmond.
Richmond, Jane 1.—At 3.05 a. m. the
funeral train bearing the remains of
ex-President Davis drew up at the de
pot in this city. Thousands of men,
women and children, some of whom
had waited for hoars, greeted its arri
Val, besides a military escort.
The march from the station to the
capitol was very impressive, the wail
ing notes of the dead march on the fife
ana the dram and the slow, steady,
regular tramp of veterans marching in
fours behind the bier, in the grey dawn
between the ranks of spectators on
either side of the street with bared
heads wss exceedingly wierd and sol
emn.
Upon reaching the capitol building,
the military opened ranks at present
arms, while the veterans marched
through with heads uncovered until the
doors of the building were reached,
when a halt was made and the casket
was borne to the door of the senate
chamber in the rotunda of the building
and plaoed in position* under guard of
Lee camp.
From day light until 9 o’clock, hun
dreds of strangers and city peoplepassed
through the capitol and viewed the
casket which was almost enveloped in
floral tributes of various designs from
the north as well as from the south.

Atlanta, June 1.—Nearly two weeks
ago it was authoritatively announced
that the Gate City bank building had
been sold to the Venable brothers and
that, within a few days, the money,
amounting to upwards "of $180,000,
would be paid over and the paying off
of the depositors wonld begin.
Somehow, within the past .few days,
the impression has gotten abroad that
the sale of the building has been de
clared off. Bat such is not the case.
Bank Examiner Stone was asked abont
the status and said:
“It is true that the sale of the build
ings has not been folly consummated.
That is to say, the money has not yet
been received. Bnt it is also true that
the tale has hot been declared off. I
am not in position to say just why the
