Tne city attoi -ey was present, and while he a, not have an/ming to say regarding u.e motion, he aonbtless thought u tne tune that he had a legal figm on his hands, that is if he really In tends to make an effort to collect thi •tond. but it is believed that no sue. effort wid ever be made. Neff, when he was given the fran ehise by tne city clerk, put up l bond of $10,006 to have a certain number of miles of track complete and cars under operation by Augu 10 last. At the time it was genei ally predicted that the bond was n> gcod, and bets amounting to abou Ssuo were pla ed that Neff would never build the line. This has already been collected by th< winners. The Atlanta capitalists, who a? cured control cf the franchise, also put up SI,OOO when an extension o. two months was granted, but. coun ell has not yet taken any action ot. this bonus. However, this thousan will probably find its way to the clt: treasury. fa 1! VERDICT FOR EIGHTEEN CENTS THAT IS THE AMOUNT AWARD ED MR. ROCKEFELLER IN ADIRONDACK CACE. Malone, N.
