An amendment to the petition placing
the Merchants Warehouse Company In
the hands of a receiver has been filed
by C. A. Morris, of the Morris Transfer

leged that officers of the former com
pany fraudulently obtained possession
of the plant of the letter. This peti
tion seeks to put the affairs of the for
mer Morris Transfer Company In the
hands of the recelverd os part of the

From these petitioners and the alle
gations contained therein It appears
that a high-strung frenzied finance
company has been organized In At
lanta and has been doing business on
a charter capitalizing It at 880,000, but
with practically no actual cash paid In
by the promoters. . ,
For fifteen shares of stock In the

which then began operating.
A. A. Parsons and J. J. Stephenson,
officers of the Merchants Warehouse
Company, It Is alleged, voted 100 sham
of stock, valued at 8100 per share, to a

March. 1898, Cavallottl, who had fought
35 duels, forced another combat on
Macola, following a dispute In the
chamber of deputies, of which both
were members. They fought In the
garden of the Countess Cellsre. Car
allottl was killed In his thirty-sixth
duel.
From that date on Macola was
shunned. He lost all but a handful
of friends and was ostracised socially.
The climax came In 1905. when he was
hooted and hissed In the chamber aa
he tried to apeak. Then he resigned.
In the last five years he tried to forget
his situation In retirement. So terrific
was the strain of oppronrlum that ho
became a victim of a nervous disorder,
which paralysed his right axm.
The Countess Cellere, friend of Cav
allottl, attnined the height of her no
toriety when she accused a lover, the
son of Premier Crispl, of ateallng her
Jewels. The young man disappeared In

the room was filled with cheering, en

In a thrilling encounter with a negro
burglar at 8:10 o'clock Friday morning
In her bed room at 17 Savannah-st..
Mrs. Rost Atkinson, a young woman,
was severely scratched. Her scream*
and her pluck in fighting the intruder '
prevented his choking her.
Mrs. Atkinson was suddenly awaken
ed by a noise In tho room and waa
frightened to discover the Intruder
near her bed. As she moved and tho
marauder realised she waa awake, ho
made a lunge for the bed and tried to
grip his fingers about the young wom
an’s throat. The burglar exclaimed:
"Scream and I'll kill you."
Frightened by the sudden attack,
Mr*. Atkinson for a moment was hard
ly able to utter a sound. But retaining
her presence of mind, the young worn-
nervlly shoved the burglar back,
quickly raised herself In bed and be
gan to fight him, scratching wildly at
his eyes and fare. In the meantime,
■he had recovered herself sufficiently
to cry for help, all the time succeeding
In keeping the assailant from fastening
his fingers about her throat
Aroused by the cries of tho young
woman, her mother. Mrs. Skelton, who
was asleep In an adjoining room,
leaped from bed and started to her as
sistance. On hearing the commotion In
th* next room and unable to cop* with
Mr*. Atkinson, the burglar struck at
the young woman, leaped headlong thru
a window, vaulted the front fence and
dashed thru the street.
In his hasty exit, the Intruder tore
down the' window curtain and knocked
a prop from under the window, which
then came down with a crash. Just as.
Mrs. Skelton excitedly entered her
daughter's room. The young woman
sank back on her bed exhausted. From
one of her arms blood was flowing from
several ugly scratches.
The screams of Mrs. Atkinson not
only awoke her mother and brought her
to the scene, but aroused practically tha
whole neighborhood and caused Intense
excitement. It was but a few momenta
until the street In front of the house
was crowded with excited men and
women, scantily attired. They Imme
diately commenced a search for the as
sailant, but ths burglar had mads good
his escape.
The police station was notified and
Captain Beavers and Call Officers An
derson and McWilliams were quickly
on the scene, aiding In the man hunt.
Later detectives were also put on tha
case.
In making his get-away the marau
der dropped one of his shoes, a low-
quartered tan, which furnishes the only
dew.
Mra. Atkinson states that she will be
able to Identify the burglar If he Is
caught.

There is a Flatter in Chicago
who believes in advertising—he
has had proof of its power.
This is the story: His location
was good, his hats were good, he
charged fair prices—and he never
advertised.
Perhaps he thought the hata
would sell themselves, perhaps he
didn’t believe in advertising, or
thought it undignified. At any
rate, he did not advertise.
He tried as hard as he could
to make a success, hut business
was pretty Jiad—-after a while it
got worse and he waa on tho
verge of bankruptcy.
