AGAINST TEE CENTRAL.
Judge Speer's Decision in the Macon
Short Line Case.


Judge Speer has rendered mis- decision in
the case of Richard Lapgdon. L. A. Conwell
and J. c. McNaughf on, three Philadelphia
capitalists, against the Central railroad, in
volving the legality of the purchase, some
time ago, By the Central, of tie Savannah,
Dublin and " estern Short Line railway aud
the Macon and Dublin railroad.
A charter was obtained some years ago
for the two last named roads for the pur-
pose of building a competing line to the
Central from Macon to Savannah. The in
corporators surrendered their stock, dona-
tons, etc, to John McKechney to build and
equip the road. McKechney failed to build
the road, and made a transfer to the United
States Construction and Improvement Com
pany, COMPOSED of Thomas p. Branch of
Augusta and others.
J. A. Simmons of New York was presi-
dent of the company. McKechney left an
Indebtedness on the road, and Branch &
Simmons borrowed S1S, 900 from the Phila-
delphians and advanced toward the con-
struction fund, to receive therefor one
fourth, one-fifth and one-Sixth share
in the profits of the construction
contract. Mr.. Branch later on got
hold of the stock of the construction
company and sold it out TO Gen. E. z.
Alexander, individually, though it was
shown in court that the 100000 check
given Branch in payment was signed by
Gen. Alexander as president OF the
Central railroad The Philadelphia credit
ors claimed that Branch had no right to sell
out the road for his own personal profit.
Judge Speer's decision holds that the
transfer was illegal, and the Centrars pur-
chase was in violation of paragraph sec
2 of the constitution Of Georgia, which pro-
vides that the general assembly shall have
no power to authorize any CORPORATION to
buy shares or stock in any other corpora
ton in this state or elsewhere, or to make
any contract or agreement whatever with
any such corporation, which may have the
effect to defeat or lessen competition in their
respective business, or to encourage
monopoly, and all such contracts and agree
ments shall be illegal and void.
The decision went further to say that
what could be done directly
cannot be done indirectly; that the pur-
chase by the Central of the competing line
intended to run between its terminal
points, Macon and Savannah, was null and
void and was intended to have the effect
to defeat and lessen competition, and that
tire Central holds the aSse.S OF the Savau-
nah, Dublin and Western and the Macon
and Dublin as trustees for the benefit of the
creditors, and that Branch should be COM
PEELED to pay over to a receiver the funds
which had been wrongfully paid by the
Central. The decision is a very elaborate
one and carries the details of the case. No
receiver has vet been APPOINTED

CHARLEsTON'S CLOUDS.
The Rain and Mud Fail, However to
Damnen the Ardor of the PeOnle

The Rain and Mud Fail, However, to
Dampen the Ardor of the People.
CHARLESTON. S. c., Nov. 2l.-Charleston
is still under cloud, although there is no
let-uD in the rush of visitors to the city
The Oldest inhabitant does not remember
such a crowd of visitors hero since the
famous secession time in 1860. The rail
roads are unable to bring to the city all
who wish TO conc, and hundreds Of excur-
Sionists are left at way stations by every
incoming tram. Notwithstanding the most
Ella crate preparations. every hotel and
boarding house in the city is packed and
men are sleeping on the floors and notwith-
standing the rain, which continues off and
on, the streets are so thronged that locomo-
ton is possible only at a snail's pace. The
police patrol wagons and fire engines, when
summoned out, have literally to cut their
way through a sea of humanity.
THE PRIZE DRILL
To-day the competition drill was finished
in the midst OF a cold, drizzling rain, and,
in spite of it, in the presence of a dense
crowd Of spectators. The result of the drill
is as follows: First prize, $500, German
Fusiliers; second prize, $500, Carolina
Rifles; third prize, $500, Sumter Guards.
Tonight the trades display, which was
postponed from last night, is trying to wend
its way to the rendezvous through the
sloppy streets, a drenching shower and a
throng of $4,000 people, who started out TO
see it and are now sheltered in the stores
and houses waiting and hoping for the
downpour to let up, of which there seems
no prospect
The weather bureau is flying storm sig
nails
