control of said Tolleson. being in amount
the sum Of S21, $50 10, and being in charac-
ter as follows: Cash and commercial

ant corporation for these banks,

for the Prairie State National Bank of
Chicago, 81, S07 05, aud for the Peoples
Savings Bank of Mobile, Ala, $276 "A; also
one six per cent. bond of the state Of Ala
bama for $500, bought of the last named

FULToN's LEGISLATIVE PRIMARY.

committee to-day ordered the legislative

wish him TO receive the Endorsement Of his
home county early enough to give full time
for an active canvass in bis behalf.

STABBED IN THE BACK.
Atlanta had four or five ugly rows to-
night. H. F. Spencer cut Henry O'Brien
in the back on the stairway of the James
Bank building, lnhicting a dangerous
wound. Both are tailors. O'Brien is said
to be non-unlon man. His assailant ap-
peared TO be drinking, and O'Brien claims
that the assault was entirely I'M
expected. He says he was going
mp the steps, when the other
caught him by the coat-tails,
and, reaching underneath, knitted him
just below the shoulders. O'Brien had been
furnished work by some of the men con-
nected with merchant tailor shops here and
it is presumed that the grudge, Spencer
bore him resulted in consequence. The
wounded man is lying at the Myrtle house
IN dangerous condition.
A FRACTURED SKULL.
Daniel Sloan, a large black negro, struck
a white man named Bass Harralson in the
head with whisky bottle on Decatur street
tonight and injured him seriously. The
doctor who dressed the wound says the skull
is badly fractured.
In addition to these occurrences a hotel
clerk was knocked in the head with stick
and negro murderer shot at several times
In West End, but in neither case were
serious injuries inflicted, SO far as is known.
