Atlanta and Florida.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 9.-This morning at
IL O'Clock Judge Marshal Clarks appointed
T. ". Garrett temporary receiver Of the
Atlanta and Florida road. About the same
hour Alexander C. King received a tele-
gram from R. II. Plant at Macon saying
that he had received adVices from the clerk
OF the United States district court at Sa-
vannah that Judge Speer had appointed
him receiver for the Atlanta and Florida,
and requested Mr. King 70 take charge of
the road until he arrived in Atlanta. Mr..
King Immediately went 10 the Office OF the
superintendent to assume charge. and had
done so when Mr. Garrett arrived and in
formed him that he was the receiver,
and would not relinqulsh his
claims to any one. Mr.. King then left the
Office in charge of Mr.. Garrett Mr.. Gar
rett has been superintendent Of the Atlanta
and Florida for two years and was agreed
upon by both the management Of the road
and the creditors as the most available man
for the place, the application for a receiver
having been pending for some weeks. The
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road had claim against the Atlanta and
Florida for $4,000. This claim was heard
before Judge Speer and he appointed Mr..
Plant as receiver. Mr.. Garrett is now
in possession Of the road and has wired the
agents along the line that he is in charge
and to obey instructions from no one but
him. The Atlanta and Florida road runs
through both districts of the United States
district court, and Judge Speer has as much
jurisdiction over the matter as Judge
Clarke. There may be legal contest over
who has the right 10 take charge Of the
road. While this is being done, unless the
court orders differently, MIR. Garrett will
