An IMponrANT DECISION.
The East Tennessee, Virginia aud Geor
gia~InvOlved in the Case.

Gta AnVOlVed in the case.
ATLANTA, GA, April Am impor-
tant decision was rendered in the
Supreme Court this morning with re-
ference to the East Tennessee, .Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad. 1t will be
remembered that some time ago a bin
wastled against the road, based on some
bonds of the old Macon and Brunswick
Road in Fulton Superior Court, and a
motion was made by the attorney
for the road to remove the case
to the United States Court on the
ground that the defendants were nou-
residents OF this State. Judge Estes, Of
the superior Court, approved the bill
rendered for the purpose Of removing the
case and held that it could be removed.
The complainants In the bill excepted.
The vital point in the case was whether
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Road was a foreign or Georgia
corporation. The State supreme Court,
to which this point was submitted, to-day
held that il was "a Georgia corporation,
and that therefore the case could not be
removed. This decision was based on
the fact that the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad acquired its
rights in Georgia by purchase Of the
franchles Of the Georgia and Cincinnati
Railroad, which had been chartered.
by the Legislature, and in which charter
there was "A provision that thoy might sell
all OF their property and franchises. The
Supreme Court held this morning that the
purchasers took the place.of the Cincin-
natl and Georgia Railroad, and to that
extent became a Georgia corporation.
The case now goes back to Fulton Supe-

the mesdames to supply a certified maid
TO a private house near the Mansion
House, where any member of the
commission could satisfy himself be-

Sir Nathaniel Rothschild, who recently
took the peerage oaths in the House OF
Lords as Baron R~othschild, probably re-
CARDS his elevation to the peerage as a
slight addition to the honors which the
nobility of Europe have heaped upon his
family, but to his race the event is ex-
tremely significant. The persecution
which the Jews suffer in many parts OF
the Old World, and especially in Russia
and Austria, must make the creation OF
the first Hebrew peer in the British
reala, seem a sign of the coming OF the
time when to be a member of that race
shall cease to be a ~reproach. England
has hardly more than $4,000 Jews, but
Germany has more than 500, 900, Austria
nearly 100000. and Hungary nearly
600, 600, and the admission of Sir Ma
thaniel to the House Of Lords may cause
many an Israelite to dream Of the de-
lights OF o home in the British Isles.

DEATH OF JOHNNY SKAE.

The telegraph last night brought us
of the death in San Francisco OF
Johnny Skae, after a brief illness. Few
men were better known on the Pacific
Coast than the subject of this notice.
He came to the Comstock in 1860 and
was for 25 years a prominent figure in
mining circles. He amassed many for
tunes and always spent his money with a
lavish hand. The last great deal in
Sierra Nevada was engineered by Skae.
The Nevada Bank finally laid its heavy
hand upon him and he had to succumb.
He was comparatively poor the last
years Of his life. But his old time
goodness of heart and liberality stuck
to him to the last. He was, in the
broadcast acceptation of the term, a
clever man. The SENTINEL regrets his
death, and condolas with the many old
time friends whom he leaves behind.
May the daisies blossom brightly on his
grave.

In Paris recently the Chamber OF
Deputies voted an appropriation of $500,
600 to be expended by the State in
maintaining and educating every seventh
child born in French families. This
action was taken to revive an obsolete
law enacted during the French Revolu.
tion in the interest of increase in the
French population. The present enact
ment applies to either sex. and is con-
fined to the children Of parents in needy
circumstances. An attempt to reject
this latter restriction was negatived by q
vote OF 260 to l2l.
