JAMES B. REYNOLDS
DIES SATURDAY
New York, Dec. 7.—If things fall
right for H. H. Harrlman in his light
for the control of the Illinois Central
with Stuyvesant Fish December 18, the
ownership of the Central of Georgia
will bo cleared up and actual names
made public.
It can be stated, however, as a fact
that Mr. Harrlman already owns. In his
own name, or controls 89,000,00(1 of the
stock which was disposed of by the
Southern, and which Maraden J. Perry
and Oaklelgh Thorne secured. Mr.
Harrlman will not talk of tile matter at
present, even with his closest friends.
A glance at tho railroad map of the
South will readily show what the ac
quisition of the CentraJ of Georgia
means to the Harrlman Interest* if
that gentleman retains Ills grip on tho
Illinois Central. Physical connection at
Birmingham giving nn outlet to ihe At
lantic with exceptionally good dock and
terminal facilities are assured hf* great
system. If be loses his control of tho
Illinois Central, the Central of Georgia
will not be of much use to him. and It
may change hands again. v
He Fired the Stick.
"I have fired the walking stick I’ve
carried over forty years, on account of

Salve; that has healed the sore and
made me a happy man," writes John

Her First Motion Lost, But
Another To Be Fought
Out.
James P. Reynolds, aged 21, died at
the residence of his parents, 181 Wind
sor street, Saturday morning at 2
o'clock. He was the kon of Charles B.
Reynolds, the well known attorney, as-
soclated with Hamilton Douglas, at
417 Century building.
Young Reynolds had been 111 for
some time and had gone to Texas and
other Btates In the hope of relief. He
was well known among the younger
set. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
B. Reynolds, and a sister survive him.
The funeral ceremonies will be con
ducted at the residence of the family,
181 Windsor street, Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. The Interment will follow
at Oakland cemetery.
An order to dismiss the motion for
new trial upon the first verdict In
the divorce suit of W. J. Wood against
his wife, Mrs. Capltola Wood, was
granted by Judge Pendleton Saturday
afternoon. The motion to dismiss the
motion was made by Attorney Luther
Z. Rosser, representing Wood.
Attorney Rosser argued that A mo
tion to set aside the verdict could not
be sustained because at the time the
verdict of the Jury was rendered the
allegation of Mrs. Wood that she was
confined In the Insane asylum did not
appear upon the record, and that In
order to set aside the verdict a bill
would have to be filed In chancery and
the case determined by a Jury. Judge
Pendleton sustained the point.
A second motion to set aside the
second verdict In the case Is now
pending In the'superior court and Is
set for a hearing next Saturday to
follow a case now set os a special or
der for that day. This motion Is based
upon entirely different grounds from
those set out In the motion dismissed
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Wood was
not In the asylum at that time and she
alleges as grounds for the motion that
neither she nor her attorney were notl.
fled that the case'would come up for
triul 'on the day the,second verdict was
Lecured.
While this second motion Is pending
-Mrs. Wood, through her attorney, J. L.
James, will file a bill In equity in re
gard to the first verdict and the merits
cf that motion will be determined by a
jury.
