Away in a Night.
McRae, Ca, Jan. 4.-The robbery of
the store of Flanders & Lowery last Sat
urday night at Alamo, on the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad,
twelve miles east of McRae, grows more
and more mysterious. All any one seems
TO know is that on last Saturday night at
closing time Lowery and Seers, his clerk,
locked the store, leaving about s., 500
worth of goods in it and on returning
Monday morning it was found that $1,000
worth were gone. No tracks were found
outside, for it had rained
Saturday night and Sunday. Wagons
were heard by the Waterman at Cook S
still about o'clock in the morning. but
he thought they were about the depot
and paid no attention. Wagons were
heard going toward Scotland, some dis
tance from Alamo, later in the night.

A Decision of Interest to All In
suranoe Men.

AAOh.
New Orleans, La, Jan. An the civil
district court to-day, Judge Monroe rem
dered decision important to all inter-
ested in insurance. The suit was entitled
"the state of Louisiana VS.. Mason, Smith
& Co." The defendants in the suit are
engaged in buying and shipping cotton.
They have usually within the past few
years insured cotton, either wholly or in
part, in foreign companies having no
agents in and paying no taxes to the state
OF Louisiana: Judge Monroe,holds that I'M
der section z of act $50 of 1890, which
fixes and grades the licenses to be paid
for the business of insurance, any person
or firm residing in this state filling up
policies and eifecting fire or marine in
surances, did, in fact, constitute them
selves the agents OF the company in which
the risk was effected, and the defendants
are entitled to pay licenses the same as
local insurance companies. This decision
will affect many firms in New Orleans
and is of widespread interest The case
will be appealed to the supreme court.

An Unfriendly Receivership to Be
Avoided.


Avoided.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 4.-Rumors of at
temprs to place the Atlanta Consolidated
Street Railway Company in the hands Of
a receiver have been floating about the
city to-day. These rumors had their
source in the fact that Atlanta lawyers
have made attempts to secure enough of
the floating debts of the company TO make
an application for receiver, but officials
Of the company say that the floating
Indebtedness is held by friends
of the company and that there
Is no danger of a receivership from that
source. All claims presented are being
paid in order 10 defeat an unfriendly re-
ownership, and it is reported that the
Consolidated people themselves will, at the
proper time, have their own receiver ap-
pointed. The Consolidated is probably
the biggest local corporation. A million
and half of the stock is held by Atlanta
parties, though the bonds are held in
Boston.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The tenth Of the
twelve lS-inch guns designed for the battle
ships Indiana, Oregon and Massachusetts
was successfully iacketed at the Wash
ington gun foundry yesterday. These are
the largest guns ever cast in the United
States. After the complement of the

probably will not make any more cannon
OF a larger caliber than l0-inch. For coast
defense the army ordnance bureau con-
templates the construction of 16-inch guns,
which would be larger than the great

AN IMPORTANT LEASE.
The Eagle Sugar Refinery To Be Used for
Mandatory.

1t is understood that arrangements are
in progress for lease of the Eagle sugar
refinery building by the Thomas Laugh
lin company for the manufacture of ship
chandIery hardware. The building is
of brick, four stories in height, and COW
ers an acre of ground on Fore street,
just beyond India. The Eagle Compa-
ny will make changes and some addi-
tions to the building to accommodate
the Laughlin Company.
The Laughlin Company has been very
successful. Its business has been con-
stantly on the increase. The quarters
on the corner of centre and Commercial
streets proved inadequate to their wants
few years ago, and they moved to
Commercial street, near Central wharf
But the business has again grown SO
large that the company is again COM
PEELED to move, and at its meeting
Wednesday will probably decide to oc-
cupy the refinery building.
