THE THIRD ATTEMPT

To Take the S. A. r. Receiyership
Ont OF the Present Hands.
In the federal court of chancery
yesterday, Duval West, local attor-
ney. fled a suit for Chas w. Armour,
of New York, aud endorsed by q
numb of New York solicitors,
against the Farmers Loan and Trust
Co. The 5. A. p. Railroad Company
and Johnson and Hansen. holding
that the plaintiff holds 80
first mortgage bonds of the road, and
that by default Of interest on the
same, he is, by the terms Of the mort
gage, entitled to a foreclosure of the
same with the entire property etc., of
the company delivered to him.
Therefore he asks that receivers be
appointed in the interests of the first
mortgage bond holders, and that IN
junction be issued restraining the re-
ceivers from further managing the
affairs of the road.
This is the third attempt to take
the management of the s A. z. out of
the hands of the receivers, and 1t is
said to likely be one of the hardest
struggles in that direction. The date
for hearing the case will be set
shortly.

Crime Is Scientific.

There is one thing which business men
may as well understand. AS fast as sci
ence invents appliances for the safety
OF money or valuables, just as fast does
crime invent schemes to circumvent.
Crime is more of science today than it
ever was. You may remember the bur-
glar proof safe that was put in at Salem,
Ills. 1t was the latest. The inventors
not only claimed for it that it could not
be opened in the usual way. but they
claimed that it was so constructed as to
withstand any explosive which might be
piled up about it and touched off. This
claim seemed to invite test by the scien-
titic craftsman, for one morning pieces
OF this safe were found all around the
building. 1t had been blown into atoms.

Looking for His $40.

He was sitting in Franklin square with
q soiled newspaper in his hand and with
q look of profound thought shining
through the earth works on his unwashed
face. The policeman eyed him suspi-
ciously as he came by.
"Good morning." he said.
"Ughr' grunted the policeman.
81 was thinking" he continued, not
observing the slight to his salutation,
"that this is good place for me-"
"There might be worse" said the Of
fcer.

which recently inclosed my breakfast,
that there are seven hundred million of
dollars in circulation in this country
little upwards of $40 per head, you will
observe. for each man, woman and child
of the population"
"Well?' queried the policeman, as the
reader appeared to sink into an abstract
ed condition.
"Well," he resumed, 81 was wonder,
ing which of the persons I have seen
walk by here this morning had my $40,
and whether I had better attempt to Sc
cure it by diplomacy, or brave results
and go after it with club. Possibly you
could throw some light on the subject;
or possibly, you are the one who has it,
and would be willing to save trouble by
advancing ten cents on it. Say will you
do that?"

beguiled and arrested him as a vag.-

A young baby should spend most of
Its time in sleep. Never allow it to be
wakened for any purpose whatever. A

should be made to wait until it is
