A SALVAGE CASE SETTLED.

The Richmond Appellate Court Sus-
tsins an Award Of $4,000.
Gen. G. N. Sorrel Of the Ocean Steam
ship Company received yesterday notifca-
ton and copy of the decision from the ap-
pellate court of appeals at Richmond, Va,
sustaining in detail the decision OF Judge
Hughes of the district court at Norfolk In
the libel case for salvage brought by the
City of Birmingham against the British
steamship Akaba. This decision awards
the City OF Birmingham $50, 1000 for services
and damages sustained both by the body OF
the ship and by its detention and loss OF
time and traffic.
The Akaba was discovered Feb. 90 last by
the City Of Birmingham off the North Caro-
lima coast during heavy storm in dis
abled condition, having broken her shaft.
With loss of time and at a great risk the
Birmingham took the Akaba in tow, and
after much difficulty. carried the British
ship into port at Hampton Roads on
March 2.
The Birmingham was considerably dam
aged as the result OF its efforts, besides
being detained from making its return trip
to Savannah and being otherwise delayed
for repairs. Libel for salvage was brought
in the United States district court at Nor
folk before Judge Hughes, and $4,000 was
awarded to the Ocean Steamship Company.
The owners of the Akaba carried the case
to the appellate court at Richmond before
Judges Golf, Simonton and Band, and last
week the decision Of this court was made,
confirming in detail that of the district
court. This decision settles the case finally,
and the damages will be paid TO the regis
trar of the court for distribution.
OF this sum 50 500 was awarded 10 the
officers and crew of the City Of Birming-
ham for their brave and gallant work in
rescuing the Akaba in the heavy gale, and
the remainder goes to the Ocean Steamship
Company for services rendered and dam
ages sustained through detention and injury
to the ship. A small portion, however e,
goes to pay damages sustained by q ship
anchored at the time in Hampton Roads, of
which the Birmingham run afoul during

PLAYED a GOOD GAME,

But 1t Yves Defeated by Detective
Wetherhorn and Justice Naughtin.
On Jan. 25 a man of pleasant address and
appearance entered the Pulaski house and
registered as William H. Moore, New York.
He stated that he represented some large
New York firm and asked for sample
room, saying he would have his trunks sent
up in the morning. Morning came but he
failed to have the trunks brought, stating
that he had decided not to open his goods in
the city. He was then given a smaller
room, as the one to which he was first as
signed was designed only for travelling men
with samples.
For several days Moore remained at the
hotel, and at one time borrowed 81 from
the clerk pretending to be waiting on a
check from his house which he was expect
ing every day. The check, however, did
not turn up and a few days ago Moore was
missed from the hotel, leaving behind an
unpaid board bill, the 81 debt and no bag
gage.
The police were notified OF the affair and
yesterday Detective Wetherhorn found
Moore and arrested him on a warrant
charging him with cheating and swindling.
Moore was tried before Justice Naughtin
and in default of bail was remanded to
Jail.
1t is said that Moore has several friends
in the city who will settle his bill and pay
the costs this morning, which will finally
dispose Of the matter, as the proprietors Of
the hotel do not wish to prosecute the case
if the bills are paid.

10 note the fact that the power of attorney
must be sent in along with the stock in
order that it may enter into the reorganiza-

Many Of the Southwestern stockholders
have expressed themselves in thorough
sympathy with the reorganization scheme,
and, in fact, a number Of buyers have pur-
chased securities Of that road since it went
with the Central into the hands Of re-
ceiver and the reorganization was under
taken.
A prominent stockholder said yesterday
that the idea Of cutting the Southwestern
loose from the system was sheer folly, and,
ia bis opinion, under the present circum-
stances it could only be operated to advsn-
tags as q part Of the Central system. Con
