THE TRIPARrITE BONDS.
A Question Whether the Southwestern
Got ANY Benefit From Them.

The Southwestern directors held a
meeting in Macon this week to consider
the investigation that has been going on
to learn if the Southwestern received any
of the benefit of the S., coo, 900 of tripar-
tite bonds.
The deeper the Investigation goes the
more clearly it is claimed to appear that
none of the bonds or their proceeds were
expended on the Southwestern, but that
the Central and the Macon and Western
derived the entire benefit.
The directors were informed that news
paper notices published in 1872 had been
secured in which it was stated that
stockholders of the Central and of the
Macon and Western would be paid their
dividends IN tripartite bonds at 05. Other
evidence has been obtained to show that
the tripartite bonds We're expended on
the Central and the Macon and Western
and not on the Southwestern. The direc-
tors say they are not very much encour-
aged over the robable outcome of the re
hearing of the Southwestern case be-
fore Justice jackson at Washington.
Those present at the Macon meeting
were John S. Baxter. president, L. A. JOr-
dan and w. r. Cox of Macon, John A
Davis Of Albany and w. G. Raoul, presi-
dent of the Mexican National railroad,
and Frank II. Miller OF Augusta, attor-
ney for the Southwestern.
The meeting also discussed the suit of
the New York Mutual Life Insurance
Company, recently filed against the
Southwestern road for $4,000, coupon
interest on bonds of the Montgomery and
Eufaula railroad These coupons fell due
July 1, but were not paid. The Central
agreed to pay the interest on these bonds,
and failing in its obligation, suit has been
brought against the Southwestern.

Runaway on Congress Street.
Mr. Christopher Murphy, the we'll
known painter, was quite seriously in
Jured by runaway team on Congress

wagon struck Mr. Murphy, who was
standing on the edge of the sidewalk lust
in front of the Screven House, knocked
him down on the asphalt pavement and
the wheels Of the wagon passed over his
body. Fortunately the wagon was not
loaded or his injuries might have been
more serious. As it was, he was hurt
quite badly and was carried at once to his
home
The wagon passed on and the negro
who was driving it had presence of mind
enough TO tumble out, or he might have
been killed in the smash-up which came
few seconds later. The wagon struck the
elephOne pole at the corner by the Chat
ham Bank and was smashed into q dozen
pieces. 1t was total wreck The horse

WILL NOT AFFECT SAVANNAH.
No Taxable Circulation Has Been
Issued by Anyone Here.

Issued by Anyone Here.
Savannah is glad of the fact that no
certified checks or clearing house GER
tifcates or circulation of any kind has
been issued here which can come under
the ten per cent tax law. In fact it has
not been found necessary to issue any
such paper and the banks have found it
easy enough to tide over all the financial
stringency without the use of any arti-
fetal means.
This is peculiarly gratifying in view of
the fact that the commissioner Of internal
revenue has taken steps TO find out the
amount of such circulation in places
where they have been issued. and has or
dered them reported TO his office for tax
alton. New Orleans, Nashville, Mont
gomery and Birmingham have all issued
certified checks or similar paper which has
passed as a sort of currency payable in
money of the United States, and all of
this class of circulation is subject to the
l0.per cent tax.
Columbus and Albany in Georgia are
said TO have issued similar paper, which
comes under the law and may be held
taxable. Other cities in the state have
issued clearing house certificates, but it
has not been determined yet whether
these are to be considered as coming I'M
der the law
