Judge Clarke Renders a Decision Re
leasing Him From Custody.
Atlanta Ca, Aug 3l-Judge Marshall
J. Clarke to-day rendered a decision re-
leasing Stephen A Ryan from custody.
This is the end of "a famous contempt case.
Ryan failed, and was sent 20 Jail for con-
tempt, this consisting in his fail
ure to pay into court certain
moneys which he was declared 10
have in his possession He denied that
he had the amount specified. or indeed,
any money except that which was turned
long one. The litigation began May %,
1881. For thirteen months Ryan was IN
jail for contempt, the assets Of his firm,
which failed, having TO pay the cost Of
litigation and his creditors getting moth
ing Ryan is now a free man.
A CELEBRATED CASE.
The case is a remarkable one. The re-
ceiver appointed by the court
for Ryan's business held that he
had Sl25,000 in cash which he refused to
deliver up with other assets. Ryan
claimed that he had 'kited" his bank
deposits and was in this way made TO ap-
pear that he had the money alleged to be
in his hands. At any rate, Judge GOber
sent him to Jail on short notice. Pend
ing appeal on a bill of exceptions he was
released on a bond of 1925, 600 but was
sent back to Jail again when the supreme
court affirmed the action of the
lower court A law was then
got through the legislature providing for
the trial of contempt cases, involving
money by jury. Ryan was denied the
privilege Of this law, however, unless
Judge Clarke saw fit to grant it. but an
auditor was appointed to 20 through the
entire case After several months work
theauditOr reduced the amount, alleged to
be in Ryan's custody to about $7O, 600
Exceptions were taken to this report by
both sides, and Judge Clarke upheld the
defendant, dismissing the charge Of con
tempt against Ryan, as already stated.
Ryan has been out on a bond of Sl25, 600
since the work Of the auditor began, and
is again at the head of the Ryan com
pany's dry goods establishment. He
failed with liabilities of 81 900 600

A Man, His Wife, and Two Daughters
on a Long Tramp.

Waycross, Ga. Aug. 3l-Resting qui-
city ard apparently con,entedly beside
the railroad track Just beyond the SUI
burbs on the Savannah division of the
savannah, Florida and Western railroad
saturday were Mr. and Mrs Melvin and
their two grown daughters. At first it
was thought that the unpretending
group might possibly have been Bruins
wick refugees and had probably been put
of the train this side Of Blackshear.
This theory proved not to be correct.
They had wandered through the country,
camping along the roadside at night,
from their home some miles beyond
Montgomery, Ala, and We're seeking
their relatives. the Melvin family, who
live on Reed farm, one mile from the
passenger depot.
OvEHA MONTH ON THE ROAD.
On July % the family left their home
taking with them such things
as they could in the line of bedding and
cooking utensils Provisions We're bought
along the road. The poverty Of the fam
lily caused them to undertake this jour
ney on foot. The farm, which has once
been the source of comfortable living
faied TO bring in any returns, because of
the short crops and the stringency Of the
times. There appeared 10 be but one wise
and proper course for MIR. Melvin to pur-
sue, and that was TO come to WaycrOss,
where progress and prosperity go hand in
hand. Arriving here, after many eX-
periences, the Melvins fell besideThe rail
road track, within 100 yards of their des-
tinatiOn, from sheer exhaustion. They
we're not aware that they were so near TO
Waycross
THEIR JOYOUS DISCOVERY.
They were approached by an officer,
who questioned them closely concerning
whence they came. Learning that they
were so near the end of their journey
they gave a shout of joy; and, thanking
God for his mercios and goodness in bring
ing them safely to their friends, they rose
up and plodded on up the beautiful lane
in front Of the residence on the farm.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Roger Pounds in too Much of Hurry to
Get Home.

Sandersville, Ca, Aug. 31.-Roger
Pounds, young man of this place, aged
81 years, was killed last night by the
Augusta southern passenger train as it
was coming into Sandersville.
He came from Augusta and as the
train was running slowly attempted to
get off at a point where the train for
merly stopped before the de-
pot was recently changed, as it
was more convenient to his home.
The night was very dark, and it is
thought that in the attempt to descend
from the steps his head struck on the cor
ner of cotton platform, and he was thus
knocked off and injured His body was
bruised considerably and his right leg
broken He was carried to his mothers
residence and DIR. VIM. Rawlings was
summoned, but nothing could be done
to save his life. Great sympa-
tiny is felt for the distressed family Mr.
Pounds was an excellent young man and
his sad and sudden death has cast gloom
upon our community.
Mr.. George Gilmore, whose barn was
burned Monday night, did not lose any
horses, as was at first reported He
thought two that were in the barn had
persisted, but afterwards found them in
the field.

about the chancel.

being school commissioner and a patron

The Ice Cream Poisoning at Columbus
Battles Explanation.


Battles Explanation.
Columbus, Ga, Aug 3l-At midnight
last night Miss Matte Collier died of ice
cream poisoning, and late tonight Mrs
Collier and her eldest daughter, Miss
Belle, are not expected to live till morn
ing. The case is pulling physicians, as
the autopsy on the body of Miss Collier
revealed no trace of poison in the stomach
though the intestines were frightfully
gangrenOus and liberated One theory is
that the acids of the stomach failed to
neutralize and absorb the poison, forcing
it into the intestines, and while the
nature of tho poison is not known, the
theory is that it was caused by a combi-
nation of the different metals in the
freezer coming in contact with the cream
during the process of manufacture, thus
generating a deadly but unknown poison
Gus matter. Thepatients were compare
lively free from pain, but the whole
stomach feels numb and dead. The symp-
toms and temperature change rapidly,
rending the case more pulling to the ply
sicians, none of whom have had similar
cases in former practice

Splendid Report Of the Years Busi-

Mobile, Ala. Aug. 8l.-The Register
prints tomorrow its annual statement Of
the commerce and trade at Mobile, show
ing that in spite of the very hard times
at present prevailing the city and port
have made remarkable progress. Cotton
receipts alone have been short,
but this is accounted for by
the short crop In the district.
caused by bad weather and the extraor-
binary floods in the Alabama and Tom
Digbee rivers. In every other particular
the commerce shows a gratifying in
crease. The ship channel has been in
creased in depth 10 tweIty-three feet, ex-
cept for small section, which will soon
be deepened. Vessels drawing twenty
and one-half feet can now easily pass up
or down.
LUMBER AND COAL SHIPMENTS.
The number of vessels has increased
this year "a per cent. Lumber and tim
Der shipments this year were 162,0O0,000
feet, against l4l 600. 600 last year. The
export of Alabama coal, begun last year,
shows an increase of 50 per cent, the eX-
ports this year being 5000
tons. The truck farming inter-
est has grown largely during the
year, and shows a great increase in ship
ments. Hence to the north and west
much building and improvement has gone
forward this year, especially in the way
of homes. The whole system Of street
railways has been electrified, giving Mo
bile the most complete system intramural
transportation in the country. The Mo
bile and Birmingham railroad has just
built into the city at great expense, and is
now complete.
EXCELLENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Trade on the whole, has been very good
for the greater part of the year Banks
are amply supplied with money with
which to move the crops. A large in
crease in cotton receipts is confidently
looked for. Cotton IS moving now, and
confidence is fairly resuming it's sway.
