THE RIDE TO ATLANTA.
The ride from Marietta was made IN a
private conveyance, because no train left
until morning, and as no bond could be

Jail until Monday. 1t was drive of twenty
two miles over a country road in the dark.
The distance was accomplished in two hours
and ten minutes. Everything that re-
manned to be done had to be completed
before II o'clock. 1t was a race against
time. Ordinarily it takes some time to
secure a bond of 1921 900, but that was
done. The bond was duly signed, certified
and approved, and Ryan was formally re-

HIS BoNDsMEN.
Ryan's bondsmen, besides Ryan himself,
are: John F. Ryan, his brother; Henry

CREDITORS PETITION JUDGE CLARKE.
A branch of the Ryan case came
up to-day before Judge Richard H.
Clark, the third judge to have
an official connection with it, This was a
petition of ninety-eight creditors. They
asked to be allowed 90 identify their goods
in the stock not paid for and to get them
out. This will be very complex proceed
ing. In some cases the Identification can
be complete, as the goods are in the origi-
nal packages. In others the Identification
cannot apply TO goods in the bulk, but only
to scattered articles, and must depend upon
the manufacturers marks. 1t would con-
fuse matters terribly, for example, If a
shoe manufacturer we're allowed to go
through the whole stock of goods now in
the hands of the receiver and pick out the
shoes, one pair at time, that Ryan bong BIT
from him and never paid for.
There are representatives among the petit
tioners of all classes of dry goods manufac-
tuIers, some for small amounts and Others
for considerable amounts. The diversity,
both as to the kinds of goods and as to their
values, is curious. This petition hes grown
with the addition of new petitioners until il
now covers more than one-third Of the
whole stock.
THE AGGREGATE CLAIMS.
The aggregate of the claims presented
this morning to Judge Clark is $l9S, 000
The whole stock by the receivers rough es
innate is worth about S40S, 900.
The case was finally postponed until
next Saturday, principally for the reason
that Receiver Kingsoerr was not prepared
to give a final and corrected estimate Of the
value of the stock. Another reason was
that in taking the inventory, no separate
| schedule had been made of these claims
| By next Saturday the inventory will have
| been completed and corrected. and these
Claims scheduled therein, separately. This
feature of the case is going to be particu-
larry prolific of litigation and lawyers
fees
The recapitulated approximation made by
Receiver Kingsberry shows the following
amount of goods and fixtures on hand
! Dry goods, silks, notions, etc, $lS6. l43 30
shoes, 1902 1898 76; clothing, s59,0l0 AZ; cur
tains, mattings, shades, carpets, etc. $685..
1872 74; hats, 81, lSl or; fixtures, $1,000 SIS
Total, $4OS, $50 25 The verification, which
is now being gone through with, may show
a slight change, but it can vary but little
