ANXIOUS TO CLOSE THE CASE.
Il is understood that Judge Pardee will
issue an order tomorrow morning for the
argument to close at 8 o'clock. Is is be-
lie ed that the Judges desire to finish their
consideration Of the evidencs and make their
decision tomorrow afternoon or night.
Judge Pardee is In Ill heal.h, and also has
engagements elsewhere II the decision is
not made by Tomorrow night it is expected
that the Judges " i'll take the notes and data
and deliver the decision at their leisure.
There is oAly one opinion among those not
directly interested in the case, and that is
that receiver will be appointed.
There will be a picnic tomorrow after
noon If the judges announce their decision
appointing receiver. An the creditors and
parties interested are watching to file their
claims.
1t is said on good authority that Judge
Henry 3. Tompkins Of Atlanta. who is here,
has an affidavit ready TO the effect that the
Central Trust Company Of New York holds
$52, ,000, 900 of securities Of the different
roads interested in the case, including
besides the a.. 300 900 of the
stock owned by the Georgia company.

amount of securities OF the Terminal lines

The MORNING NEWS was the only paper
in the state to publish the Speyer loan con

for it to-day.
The following telegram was received from
W. j. Craig, division freight agent at Co

this season. Our shipments SO far have been
II, 800 bales and we have 1 200 bales under con
tract as against I 400 bales shipped the entire
season last year by the Central railroad from
Montgomery.
There seems to be very little chance that
the road will be found insolvent, and the
preparation Of the papers by the Speyer
people was probably undertaken merely as
precautionary measure in order to be able
to be ready for any unlocked for
developments that might turn up

One OF the Grand Jury Caught With
Notes OF the Testimony.

One OF the Grand Jury Caught With
Notes of the Testimony.
CHICAGO, March 25.-To-days investiga-
tion of the grand jury investigating the
boodlers broke up in disorder. The rock
upon which the jury split was the question
whether or not TO indict Secretary Soule Of
the Jefferson Electric road, who. when
wanted as a witness, absented himself from
the city. A sharp discussion occurred be-
tween the jurymen on the matter, ending
in little less than a row. All tho proceed
ings were behind closed doors. but the
above was substantially what happened.
1t was rumored, in addition, that a
member Of the jury was caught with full
notes Of the testimony of one Of the wit
nesseS, and that he was accused Of doing so
for improper purposes. Though much loud
talk was INDUCED in by the members of the
jury, no blows occurred. An adjournment
was taken because for the time being
no further progress under the
circumstances was possible. Another
effort will he made tomorrow
to carry on the investigation. It has been
apparent for several days that all was not
harmony between the states attorney on
one side as against conducting the prosscu-
tion. To-day long interview appeared in
which the states attorney foreshadowed an
intention on his part to conduct the inquiry
according to his own ideas and not force
indictments, which in his view were
unwarranted. On the other hand, there
were strong intimations from those with
whom the states attorney differed that it
might be advisable TO take up the course to
which he was known to be opposed, to place
the investigation in the hands of epecial
grand Jury

L00KSBADFOR TERMINAL
TIE SUCCESS OF rHB NEW PLAN
DOUBTFUL.

The Public Declines Ito Indorse the
Programme-Its sponsors, However,
May Be scoop:ng in ths Securities
at Low Prices-Tnman and Thomas
Said to Be Out of the Whole Busi-
ness.
New YORK, March 25.-There is no sense
in trying to disguise the feet that the Ter.
minal plan IS TINS far by no means
"howliug success" On the con-
trary, to tell the truth, it is to all ap-
pearances dead, fat failure. This appear.
ance may be altogether to tho liking OF the
sponsors. In other words, they may be
chuckling over the decided depreciation in
the value Of all the securities involved In the
plan because of the Echance thereby to scoop
them in at low prices for their individual
benefit But the fact remains all the same
that the public declines TO in
dorse the programme, and il ia
is successfully carried through it will
have TO be done by the inherent fnan-
cial strength Of the people who have
fathered it
oLCoTT DIsGUsTKD.
A rumor was set in circulation late lask
evening to the effect that Mr. Olcott had
become disgusted and was determined 60
resign as chairman of the committee and
wash bis hands Of the whole business. A
mild semi-ofiicial denial Of this report was
put out early this morning, but the street.
was fixed in the opinion that something
was wrong and declined TO be reassured by
the denial. Accordingly all the Termf-
nal securities have shrunk severely
to-day. and IL appears that the
insiders are left with the bag to hold. Ter
minal preferred stock Is down full points,
and the common stock and bonds have suf.
fered relatively.
INMAN AND THOMAS OUT OF 1T.
II has been whispered about to-day that
Gen. Thomas and John Inman had, after a
sympathetic conference, determined 10 turn
| the back Of their hands to the whole busi-
| ness. This story flew through the streeb
| like smoke before gale and found many
ready believers. Before the reorganizers
| finish their work they will most likely find
that the practical elimination of Sam
Thomas, John Inman and the Calhoun
| brothers from the situation was an expensive
| experiment. The whole matter tonight looks
to me fully as unpromising Of success as il
did when the Norton committee was sums
marily disposed of.
INERTIA OF THE COMMITTEE.
The inertia Of the committee in thus far
failing to have ready the Central Trust
Company receipts for the deposit of seo,,ri.
ties is proving serious hindrauce to aDv-
thing like substantial success of the plan.
| Some people are audacIous enough to suc-
gest that the First National Bank party has.
for the frat time. "bitten Off more than 10
can chaw." One thing worthy If note,
John lnman was in. Now he n out and
every security of the Richmond Terminal
system is lower than the day ne resigned.

RUsSIa'S HEBREWS.

The Condition of Those Within the
Pale Becoming Worse Daily.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 25.-The condi-
tion Of the Jews within the pale becomes
worse daily. The government does not
allow them under any circumstances to
leave the bounds of the pale They are un-
able to obtain work, and there is much
suffering among them. An enormous death
roll is only averted by the continuous
charity Of the rich English Jews. The min
ister of the interior has directed the gov
ernor Of the pale to report as TO the pros
poets OF Jewish emigration in the spring.
NEW DECREE.
BERLIN, March 25.-The Breslau Zeituno
to-day publishes the text of an imperial
decree prohibiting the passage Of Russian
Jews through Germany. The decree is very
rigorous and those jews to whom the from.
tier committee guarantee support, and
those provided with money and tickets for
passage on ocean steamers, are
refused entry to German territory equally
with those Jews who are entirely
destitute and friendless The police are in
structed. under penalty of severe punish
ment, to carry out to the letter the instruc-
tions contained in the decree, and under no
circumstances to permit any evasion of the
law by any of the large number of Jews
who are trying TO enter Germany through
Galacsa.
THOUSANDS WILL SUFFER-.
AS IL is impossible TO make the decree
known throughout Russia, thousands of
Jews, ignorant of the prohibition which has
been issued against them, are certain to ar
rive at the frontier here, and as they will
be halted and will not be permitted to pro-
ceed further, it will be impossible to pro-
vide accommodations for them. A few
cases have occurred already where Jews
endeavoring TO get into the country despite
the warnings they received. have been shot
down while attempting to pass the frontier
guards.
100000 READY TO EMIGRATE.
The committees which have been formed
for the purpose of providing relief for those
unfortunate people, say that an enormous
number of Jews are seeking to escape from
Russian tyranny and persecution, and are
ready TO emigrate whenever an
opportunity offers. The committees
after careful study of the subject
estimate that 400, 900 jews are to leave Rus
sia. If they attempt to emigrate en- masse
the German government will experience
much difficulty in preventing their egress,
and will be obliged to form q strong milf
tary Gordon along the entire frontier.
