The Altmayer & Flatau Liquor Company,

cf R. H. plant. Is In the present state
oi tho case clearly entitled to vote the
ck shares of the Red Cypress Com
pany held by him. The court might
•ay much more, but from a great anx
iety for an amicable adjustment of this
jntroversy will refrain from further
expression. It must add, however, that
it Is feared that the attitude assumed
by Mr. Hallarn will preclude him, or
may preclude him, from acting further
In the capacity of co-receiver. This
suggestion is not intended as a person
al reflection on him, but Is based on
his antagonism to other alleged Inter
ests, hi* large disputed claim against
his trust, and other matters of a ma
terial character. We do not care, how
ever, to pass a summary order at this
time. We repeat that this is a contro
versy which ought to be adjusted by
agreement. It seem* clear that there
are ample values here to pay all the
creditors of the Red Cypress Company,
nnd to leaev a large surplus for stock
holders. Iflsthls Is not brought about it
will be upon o shortsighted policy little
short of fatuous;
Npw that, counsel have all been fully
beard, we do trust that they will, in the
interest of hundreds whose future Is ut
make, pay careful attention to this
deliberate opinion of the court,
pressed after careful consideration.
An Inquest was held yesterday over
the dead body of J. I. Passmore, who
was killed in.the yards of the Central
railroad onrly yesterday morning, as
was reported In tho I a. m. edition of
the Telegraph. Tho accident occurred
12:80 o'clock Sunduy morning and
the Injured man was removed to tho
city hospital at once. Dr. Williams,
the Centrul railroad physlclun, was
notified by tho authorities and ho took
charge of Mr. Passmore. He sum
moned Burghnrd's ambulance and car
ried the Inspector to the hospital,
where all the physicians were engaged
In the effort to save his life. Death
ensued at 6:10 o'clock.
The evidence as gathered at the cor
ner’s Inquest went to show that while
ho car Inspector was passing from
he office of the railroad to u train
which had Just come In. he was struck
by a Hut car loaded with steel rails
which was being backed out by a
•witch onglnc. Home of tho witnesses
•tated that a rail protruded from the
•nr und surmised that It must have
been the rail which struck Passmore
and knocked him down. One wheel
INiSHcd over the legs below the hips
and horribly munglcd the body. The
engine was stopped before It proceed-
further, otherwise it would have
killed the Inspector outright.
Tho trnln coming In from Atfcintu
was Just backing Into the station
when Mr. Passmore started from the
railroad office. Hwiteh engine No.
1008. In charge of Engineer Wyche,
was shifting cfcrs and had approached
the Ray street crossing when It struck
the car Inspector. The dangerous sit
uation of the Inspector was realised
too late to avoid the accident, but the
engine was stopped with the body be
tween th# first trucks of the car.
Coroner Young received a request
from the father of the unfortunate
man asking that an Investigation be
held. Preparation for an Inquest waa
made and yesterday afternoon the cor
oner completed his work and turned
the body over to th# undertaker. The
paneled had C. W. Bmall aa
and ». K. Chambliss us sec-
The Investigation lasted sav
in. The evidence was gath
ered and after deliberating upon a ver
dict waa reached.
The finding of the Jury wastes fol-
Passmore, came to his death while in
the discharge of his duty as an in
spector of cars while in the service
of the Central of Georgia Railroad
Company on the morning of July 24,
1904. In our opinion, from the evl
dence given, he was first struck by
nn iron rail projecting from the end
of a car which ran over him in the
said Central of Oeorgiu railroad yard
while the switch engine was backing.']
Car Inspector Passmore was
years old and lived In East Macon.
His parents nnd several brothers and
sisters survive him. The funeral ser
vice* will be* conducted this afternoon.

Steeper to St. Loul

Just Inaugurated between Ma

Mt at 4:15 o’clock over the Cer.-
A bold robbery* was committed some-
me between the hours of 2 and 4
clock yesterday morning at the resi
dence of Mr. J. E. Buffington, 615 Sec
ond street, the thieves obtaining $132.55
in cash belonging Jointly to Messrs.
Thomas Griffin, W. 8. Griffin, his son.
and J. R. Marcus, all of whom boarded
with Mr. Buffington, w*ho is a car build
er at the Central of Georgia railway
shops. Mr. Thomas Griffin lost $35.
his son W. 8. Griffin $55, and Mr. Mar
cus $42.55, the thieves only leaving 15
cents In W. S. Griffin’s trouser pockets.
A peculiar thing about the affair was
that the parties either overlooked the
gold watches In the pockets of both of
the Messrs. Griffin and a diamond pin
worth $76 In Mr. Marcus’ shirt, lying
the chair, or were afraid to take
them, the chances in this Instance for
the identification cf 'the articles and
consequent-capture of* the burglar be
ing too great.
At present there are no clues to the
perpetrators of the robbery, *houch the
police authorises have been notified
and are now making every effort to ap
prehend the parties, whoever they may
be.
Mr. Buffington and his family occu
py the first floor at his residence, the
Messrs. Griffin, who room together,
and J. R. Marcus having rooms on the
second floor, four other gentlemen hav
ing quarters on the story above. Abso
lutely nothing belonging to the latte:
gentlemen or to Mr. Buffington’s fam
ily was disturbed, the burglars conflln-
Ing their operations to the rooms on
the second story of the house.
Both of the Messrs. GrlfTJn are rail
road engineers and often cbme ift at
different hours of the night. On Satur
day night Mr. Thomas Griffin came in
rather early and retired at once. He
locked his room door as usual but later,
about 2 o'clock, had to get up and let
Ms son, W. 8. Griffin, in, and on this
occasion he fulled to lock the door.
Another strange thing In connection
with this robbery was that Mr. Mar
cus left hfs door open thlH night for
the first time In months, and Mr. Thos.
Griffin failed to (dace his pants under
his pillow, an Invariable habit with
him.
The front door of the residence has
to be left unlocked always at night on
account of boarders coming in at vari
ous hours.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. Buffington said that he was sure
that the robbery- occurred some time
b« tween 2 and 4 o'clock, as At 2 o’clock
Mr. W. 8. Griffin came in and all was
safe then. Another boarder, a Mr. Nich
ols, cume in about 4 o’clock, and dislik
ing to disturb his room mate by pok
ing him otten the door, remained sitting
on tho veranda until breakfast time,
strange person, . of course, entering
while he was there.
Mr. Buffington declared further that
he had positively no suspicions
who committed the robbery, no serv
ant* having been recently discharged
at his house, and no questionable char*
actors having been recently seen loiter
ing nround the premises. That such
valunble articles as gold watches and
a diamond pin were carelessly passed
by would seem to argue that the deed
was the work of some negro, or Jn any
event of some local thief, fearing to
be Identified In realising on their spoils,
aa a professional burglar making the
circuit of this section would not have
this fear, being able to hold on to the
Jewelry until operating in some
mote city when he could dispose of it
without fear of detection.
The chief of police has his men on
the lookout and it Is very probable that
before many hours have passed the
thieves will be gathered Into the drag
ret of the law and be ”flxed” for some
time to come.
