their duty.

ian ambassador at Washington, is

by a later and more report to
the effect that the Southern is willing
to surrender the Central’s claim to a
half interest in dhe Georgia lease for
a consideration. Both President Spen¬
cer aud President Smith are silent on
the subject, but it is learned from ono
of the directors- of the Georgia road
that negotiations are ponding and
likely to be successful. This gentle¬
man said that the agreement would be
reached through the financial magnates
behind the two systems, J. Pnrpont
Morgan and August Belmont,

There is much speculation as to
what the verdict in the recent Rorneyn
conrtmartial, at McPherson barracks,
will be. Every day now the long an¬
ticipated and anxiously awaited find¬
ing of the thirteen army officers in the
most wonderful case on record is ex¬
pected to show up. However) it may
be several days yet before any definite
knowledge of the verdict is known.
After the court’s decision has been ap¬
proved by the general command of the
department of the east, it is required
that copies of the verdict shall bo
printed in sufficient number to send
to all the post commanders and com¬
pany commanders in the army. This
requires some time and probably ac¬
counts for tho delay thus far exper¬
ienced.
The Equitable Loan and Security
company, of Atlanta, has filed tho $30,
000 bond required of it and thus remov¬
ed all doubt as to the possibility of a re¬
ceivership. The signers of the bond
were Messrs. George W. Parrott and
Jacob Haas. The $30,000 was divided
by the court into two bonds, one for
$10,000 and one of $20,000. Mr. Par¬
rott and Mr. Haas signed both bonds.
One of the hardest fights in the his¬
tory of Fulton county has been made
to put the Equitable Loan and Secu¬
rity company in the hands of a receiv¬
er. After hearing the argument Judge
Lumpkin decided to deny the appli¬
cation for a receiver on the ground
that the company would be able to
meet its obligations and carry on its
business. He required the bond as a
guarantee to the stockholders.
• • •
Judge Candler has denied the motion
for a new trial in the Perry case. There
was no argument in the ease, the law¬
yers only discussing in a general sort
of way the different grounds for error
advanced by the attorneys for the de¬
fense. When the attorneys had fin¬
ished the discussion Judge Candler
promptly announce*! without any su¬
perfluous words that he thought the
verdict of the jury in finding Perry
guilty of murder was in every way
correct and that he thought his charge
to the jury correct. He said that
would deny the motion, as there were
not sufficient grounds for a new trial.
The decision of Jndge Candler was
just what every one in the case felt
certain was coming, and there was not
the least surprise. The attorneys of
the condemned man will now file
exceptions to Judge Candler’s ruling
and the case will go at once to the
supreme court,

QUESTION OF A KISS,
A Sensational Feature of the Oooper-Dun
ston Murder Trial.
The Cooper trial at LaGrange, Ga.,
for the murder of Dunson was full of
sensational features Tuesday. Tho
state put witnesses upon the stand by
whom it was shown that there had
long been a grudge on Cooper’s part
against Dunson.
In his statement tho prisoner laid
grounds for self-defense by claiming
that he fired the shot through a nerv¬
ousness that was brought on by the
fear that his life was in danger at the
time Dunson waB killed. He never in¬
timated in any way in that statement,
however, that there had been a disa¬
greement between him and Dunson
previous to the day on which the kill¬
ing occurred.
But the state presented witnesses
after that statement who swore that
Cooper had told them that Dunscm
had attempted to kiss Mrs. Cooper
shortly before her marriage, and that
he would kill him for it. They swore
that Cooper was looking for Dunson
at the time he made the statement.
