As to the merit of the claim, there is absolutely nothing to justify the allega tions nor cause a receiver to be appoint ed. The petition will undoubtedly lie denied when heard formally and answev is made by the company. The Augusta people interested in the company, though some of them are related to the peti tioner, will side with the company. In tins connection, it is interesting to now that the young attorney who “drummed up’ the case is a relative of ’lie petitioner, who is 85 years of age, and., it is further interesting to kn-ow that at least two law firms who weVe approached to take the cadfe decided not in do so after making an investigation &n«l talking with the company officials. e do not attach any importance to the matter so far as the merits of the SHIP COVERED WITH DAMORUFF Also Blisters and Pimples, Irrita tion and itching Dreadful, Would Hurt, Smart and Burn.

Tracing Innes Connection. Atlanta, Ga.--Atlanta and several other cities are still feverishly awaiting news fpom the missing sisters, Mrs. lilois Dennis and Beatrice Nelms, who have so mysteriously disappeared. The latest developments in the case today are as follows: Mrs. Margaret Mindes, of San An tonio, Tex., was found, and denied know ing the two girls of Victor Innes or any knowkledgo of them. Despite this, it is certain that Mrs. Mindes was seen with two young women in Corpus Christ!, Tex., as late as last Sunday night, and they answered the description of the missing voting women. Mrs. Nelms, mother of the girls, has at last come to the conclusion that they (ire dead and their bodies in the Mis’- sissippi river at New Orleans. She has offered a reward for them, "dead or alive" in the hope that river men will search for the bodies. Mrs. Nelms revealed today that there had been certain intimacy between In nes and Mrs. Dennis. She said T,ois feared the government officers were on her trail on a white slavery charge, anil also that Innes’ wife was having her brothers trail iter through jealousy. J- 3V. Krueger, an Atlanta government employe; said that he saw Innes, whom lie knows well, In Atlanta early last May. Marshall Nelms, brother of the missing girls, is on his way from California to Atlanta and will arrive tonight. He knows nothing beyond what has been published. The first copy of the “death message" received from Lois Dennis whs made public by Mrs. Nelms. It read: "After sending tile telegram Prom New Orleans T got rid of B. there, and have erne out here to find Marshall and send him to follow her. I have sealed her fate forever. She is now In the unknown land and lam glad 1 did il. I est B. to go the unknown path away from all. Where no one will find her or myself. I only hope the animals of the water will have eaten us both beforo you get these letters." This, signed in writing very closely like Mrs. Dennis if not actually hers, was mailed from San Francisco, and was the first intimation that anything was wrong.

The house of representatives after disposing of unanimous consents Mon day adopted a report by the rules committee setting over until Tuesday, on account of the thin attendance Monday, the constitutional amend ments which were scheduled to be tak en up Monday, and putting on tho day's calendar a number of general emergency bills which were ready to be placed on third reading and pass age and on which no debate was ex pected. The first of these was a bill to amend the act relative to the granting of charters to schools and colleges so as to permit the granting of charters to universities, and so as to permit the granting of charters for more than twenty years, when specially prayed.

Burwell took the floor In support of the bill, making a brief speech explaining Its provisions and the reasons therefor and urging the house to pass it. As explained by him, it often occurs that officers of a corporation forget the date of tho expiration of their charters until after the date has passed, which subjects the corporation to the penalty of liquid ation. Mr. Burwell said it is not fair to make stockholders In corporations suffer loss because of such an over sight hv th»lr officers. The house passed the bill. fHE AUGUSTA HERALD.
