vance on the previous rates, went into oper'

Arrest of Bond COunterfeiters.
Arrests of parties implicated in the
forgery of the California and Oregon rail
road bonds prove TO be extremely i'm
portant. They COMPRISE George R. Haz.
we'll, nOminally a broker, who negotiated
last year $4,000 worth of former Wabash
bonds; George Marshall and William Rae,
whom the police state are well known deal
ers in forged bonds, and Edward Hall. The
latter arrest is considered one of the most
important yet made, as he is believed to be
the head of the gang of bond cOunterfeitert
who not long ago endeavOred to food the
city with forged Erie, city and and water
loan bonds. These are the same persons
who negotiated some New York Centra
railroad real estate bonds which are be
lievsd to be worthless.

Prepnrations for 1he Regntta.

Last evening promptly at six o'clock, in
accordance with notice, the following gentle
men, representing the clubs set opposite
their names, met on the levee, foot of
Poydras street: j. B. Mcconnell. Orleans
club P Gallagher, Riverside; w. F. Bunch,
Southern; j. Foster, Hope; X. H. Mitchell,
st. John; A. H. Bayhi, Pelican, and Captain
Ed. Flood, Howard club. The purpose of
the meeting was to make an inspection of
the river, preparatory to formal report to
the board Of delegates, regarding the best
course for the forthcoming grand regatta
to take place on the twenty-seventh OF next
September. Some few advocated the down
town course-that is the three mile straight
away reach from Louisa street to Cavaroc's
place. Others were in favor of the uptown
course, a similar reach from Joseph 10
| Philip street. To settle the discussion it
was decided to view both courses and their
surroundings. Embarking on the tugboat
| Charlie Wood, the tour of inspection was
soon accomplished. The course from Joseph
to Philip street was finally agreed upon as
furnishing the best view and affording the
best facilities to the public.
| The board of delegates meet tomorrow
at noon in Hawkins club room. 1t is more
than probable that the report of the above
committee of seven will be adopted as a
| tinalitY.

A word ter the watering Places.

We find in the SeacoaSt Republican some
vivid adjuTatiOns to clean and fumigate
that popular resort. 1t also exhOrts the
authorities to compel compliance with this
injunction, "under heavy penalties"
Remembering the importance of health
reputation, it adds: "Our atmosphere is SO
pure that we are not very liable to this
fever" But the prevalence of fever at
other places endangers even this mountain
top. Then comes the panic. The yellow
fever is epidemic in several places in Flor
ida" 1t is Undoubtedly in the shipping at
Pascagoula." "At Gainesville there have
been three yellow fever Deaths" just here
we enter a plea against the panic. "Mr.
McCracken, a prominent and unacclimated
citizen, contracted it in New Orleans, and
came home to end useful life" we really
regard Bay st. Louis place OF pure atmos-
phere and unlimited attractions. As a sum-
mer resort it combines all the inducements
of fresh fish and sea bathing-"a table
spread with all the treasures of the seas, y
with double daily team and an excellent
weekly paper, the Sedc0aSt AlarD'iSt.
Why should've SeacoaSt seek to make
all the inhabitants quit New Orleans and
rush to Bay st. Louis to escape yellow
feverl Bay st. Louis, or its hotels and
vacant houses could not accommodate all
New Orleans. We should eat all its fish,
break down it's carriages, and create a fam
inc. The columns of the SeacOaSt could
not register the arrivals. Besides, with us
would come the dreaded infection. Will
not the Seacoast, then, publish to its panic
stricken constituents the denial and dis
proof by our medical Iauthorities that any
case of fever, sporadic or imported, exists
herel Do, there's good little Coastg, do
us Justice, throughout the whole of your
circulation, and we will send reporter to
write up the delights of your fine atmos'
phere, your sail boats, lone hoss shays'
and all that is yours. Be magnanimous,
dear little Coa8ty, and do not charge New
Orleans with the death OF anybody who de-
parts this life en- the coasts of Florida, Ala
hama and Mississippi

Judge Saucier has rendered the following
decision:
Bostick vs. Cohen-Iu rule of receiver to
obtain possession of property of the trm of
Bostick g. Cohen, held by the sheriff, under
seizure, and for postponement of sale.
Judgment of Court.-A receiver was ap-
pointed to prevent the interest of the CO.
partnership from suffering by the want OF
concert between the copartners, and to
enable the court to afford the appropriate
relief between the contestants. 1t was in
teuded to place the receiver in charge and
possession of the assets and affairs of the
tirm. Just as the members had, but no
further. 1t was not intended to oust any
adverse possession or to interfere with the
jurisdiction and authority of any other
COuTl, anu eau huO bp pOAhAVUO0 W hoNt
that effect See Whitehall vs. Sampson, IA
How, Ga. 6J.
A portion of the assets in question, prior
to the action of this court, was already in
the sheTiti's custody under executions issued
| from other courts. The court which first
acquires control of thing by levy under
| it's authority OF other proper process, caI
not be divested of its control by any cOurt
| of merely concurrent jurisdiction. Hagar
VS.. Lucas, 10 Peters 404, and cases cited
| Taylor VS.. Carryl, 20 Howard SOB. There il
| but one exception TO the general rule. 4
court of bankruptcy sometimes, but ver7
| cautiously, asserts control OF property unde
| seizure. A controversy between cOpartners
necessitating the appointment of receiver
can not be allowed to defeat levy unde
execution against the firm.
This court has no power to arrest the pro
| ceedings of other courts in the exercise O
their independent jurisdiction, nor to OBJ
| struct suitors in the exercise of their Lawful
| remedies in other courts. Those courts ar
lawfully seized of Jurisdiction over th
assets in question, and the seizing creditor
have acquired rights which this court mus
respect. court of bankruptcy wonl
respect their privilege resulting from tn
seizure, and would not arrest the sheriff j
the execution of the tieri facas in his hands
unless to prevent sacrifice of the property
Bump on Bankruptcy, 202, 2S6.
The rule can be made absolute only in g
far as to order the sheriff to postpone tn
sale and this only because the signin
creditors urge no obi ection to the ostPOn
ment. The property remains in the custOd
| of the sheriff.
