The Supreme Court of Alabama Sus-
tains Probate Judge Randolph.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, March 1.-SOme
days ago Judge Randolph, of the Probate
Court of this city, heard the application
of Alexander Mohr for his release from
arrest. Mohr was arrested on a warrant
granted by the Governor of this State
upon requisition of the Governor of
Pennsylvania. The charges against Mohr
were that of obtaining goods under false
pretenses, and that he was a fugitive
from justice. 1t was proven that Mr..
Mohr had not been in Pennsylvania at the
times alleged, and Judge Randolph re-
leased him as not being a fugitive. The
counsel for the Pennsylvania officer re-
moved the case to the Supreme Court, and
that body has sustained Judge Randolph's
ruling and discharged the prisoner.

BRIGHTON, ENG. March William
Thackeray Marriott, Liberal member of
the House of Commons from Brighton,

the government, which, he said, had lost
the confidence of the country. He offered

The Macon and Brunswick Railroad
Completes the Payment of It's Debt.
ATLANTA, March 1.-State Treasurer
Speer telegraphs to-day to the Governor
that the purchasers of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad have delivered to
him in New York the balance due of the
S75O,O0O in recognized bonds of Georgia
comprising SIS, rs, 6's and As, and that
he will complete his examination
of them by Monday. There are but
few SIS and As, the great bulk being
rs and 6's due in 1886, and which the next
General Assembly would have been ask
ed to provide for at that time. Gov. Nc
Daniel by his strict compliance with
what he believed to be the letter and
spirit of the act of sale and contract, COM
PEELED the payment to be made in Georgia
bonds as far as possible, and allowed the
payment to be extended into an
other day to enable the purchas-
ers to pay the full amount in
State bOuds. Thus by the Governors
foresight and tirmneSs three quarters of a
million of the State debt is wiped out, and
no further interest will have to be paid,
or legislation enacted for that amount. If
the payment had been made in other
bonds or in cash the State debt would
have remained the same, and the next
General Assembly might have taken a
notion to appropriate the funds in less
desirable manner. The feeling here is a
general one of relief and rejoicing that
the matter has been so wisely and sue
cessfllly carried through by the Govern
or, the AttOrney-General and State Treas
urer. No notice has been received, that
the payment was made under protest, or
that any exception was taken to the
course pursued by the Treasurer. Both
parties seem to have been satisfied.

to the reporters informant, Captain
Swan, now a resident of this city, and
an octogenarian, was coming up on his
boat from New Orleans to st. Louis.
When near the mouth of the Red River
the captain decided to u ashore and
tie up for the night. The mate ordered
d plank to be thrown put where a dark
object, supposed to be a stump, seemed
to offer a good opportunity to tie up. a
man was ordered out to the end OF the
plank and commenced winding the rope
around the object to secure the boat,
when a huge paw struck him, almost
knocking him into the river, and tear.
ing a great rent in his clothes. The
supposed stump proved to be a beal
