FLOWERS ON THE AFFAIRS.
The Decorations in the Different
sps5F Churches.

3FtfF Churches.
The principal decorations in the
churches VIII be at st. Johns and
Christ Episcopal Church and at
the Catholic Cathedral.
The decorations at St. Johns Church are
something new and altogether differ
ent from anything ever before seen in Sa-
yannah. The first thing to attract the
eye upon entering the church are the
words To-day a King is Born" wrought
in immortelles above the rear altar. The
altar front is covered with u solid mass
of immortelles, with a row of cedar above
and below. The cross is made entirely OF
white japonicas, and is a marvel of skill
and taste. The chancel railing is covered
with holly and bamboo artistically CON-
bined. In front of the chancel and ia va
rious attractive positions adjoining it are
various kinds of dollhouse trees, such
as Oleanoers, palms and rbododendrons.
The most original feature OF all is the
evergreen panels on either side of the
church ana one between each Of the win
dOws. These panels are about two feet
by i've in size, and are made OF cedar
trimmed with bamboo. each one having
the branches OF different trees tastlly
worked in the centre. The window arches
and the gallery front are covered with
holly, bamboo ana Ivy. The designs
were obtained from the High Art Society
of New York, at considerable expense
To Mrs. j. r. Sheldon il due, in a large
measure, the skilltul and tasty execution
OF these designs and the handsome appear
ance presented by the interior or the
church.
The decorations of Christ Church are
wholly of evergreens. On either side of
the altar within the chancel is a bank OF
green as a background, and in front are
ferns and palms. FestOons of ivy and
cedar are suspended around the body OF
the church under the galleries, and
wreaths are hung from the capitals of
the pillars supporting the galleries. The
only design is Tyre in front of the choir's

THE ARGUMENT ENDED.
Judge Adams Defers His Decision In
the Mandamus Case.


the Mandamus Case.
Argument In the mandamus case
brought by General AleXander's friends
to compel the President and directors OF
the Central railroad to allow an inspec.
tion of the books OF the company was con.
cluded in the Superior Court yesterday.
The concluding argument for the petition
ers was made by Pat Calhoun, ESQ
of Atlanta. His line was the same
as had been previously made by
counsel in the case. He insisted
that individual stockholders had a
right to know who their associates are
"Suppose," he said. "that We knew that
the present board OF officers intended to
run the price OF stock down % or 40 per
cent. would we not have a right Ia
demand list of stockholders 80
that we could confer with them
as to the ways and means to be
! adopted to prevent thisY' "The charter"
he went on, provides that any thirty
stockholders who represent as many as
1000 shares can call a meeting at any
time and thus secure an inspection OF the
books, but unless we have u list how are
we going to get together these thirty
stockholders? Are we expected TO adver.
tise in the public print that we wish to
confer with them on matters of impor-
tanceW
Numerous authorities were cited TO
show that the right of the petitioners to
inspect the books existed in common law,
and that they were unjustly deprived Of
this right.
Gen. A. r. Lawton concluded for thu
President and directors In u speech of an
hours length. He held that there was
no question of a clear legal right involved,
and that tue petitioners were afforded an
ample remedy in the provisions Of the
charter.
Owing TO the Importance OF the case
Judge Adams deferred his decision until
Monday, so as to allow himself time to
carefully investigate the different author

Their Case tn be Tried in tho United
states Court this Week.

The counterfeit cases against the two
Sullivan boys were called in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday. }. j
Abrams, Esq, OF counsel for tho defense
made special plea in abatement, attack
ing the legality Of the indictment. The
point was m ade that the name OF one Of
the jurors, AIR. JObn :. Fleming, did not
appear on the list OF the names that were
put in the box or on the Venire. There
was a name, G. $. Fleming, however, on
the list and on the venlre.
United States Attorney Darnel proved
by Capt. w heatoH, the jury Commission
er, that j. $. Fleming was the person
whose name it was intended to put i'll the
box.
Judge Speer overruled the plea, holding
that the error was purely clerical aud
was one which the court had power u
correct.
Both sides were ready 10 go on with the
case, but upon the suggestion that II
would probably not be concluded in one
day, the case was continued until Thurs
day. The jurors were much relieved, as
they feared that il the trial was begun
they would be locked up over to-day and
tomorrow.
Court was adjourned until Tuesday, TO-
morrow being legal holiday.

particularly for cut flowers.
