TO THE SUPREME COURT.
The Georgia Southern and Florids
Sale Postponed by an Appeal.

The Georgia Southern and Florida
Sale Postponed by an Appeal.
Mr.. H. P. Smart, chairman of the COM
mittee of the bondholders of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad, returned
yesterday from Baltimore, where he has
been attending a meeting of that COM
mittee.
Mr.. Smart said yesterday that
the appeal from the decision of the
lower court, with regard to the sale
Of the property, to the supreme court,
which was made last Wednesday by the
Macon Construction Company, would de-
lay the sale of the road until that court
had rendered decision on the matter. The
lower court decided against the Macon
Construction Company in every point,
and the bondholders have little fear as to
the results in the supreme court.
Mr.. Smart said the bondholders had
not sought to have the road go into re-
ceiver's hands as it was pay
ing its coupons right along but
now that it is they are going to
protect their interests. They have petit
with Mr.. w. B. Sparks, and will urge the
appointment of Mr.. Skipwith Miller, the
present attorney for the bondholders.
The date for the hearing on this question
will be set to-day in the Bibb county su-
periOr court.
MIR. Smart said the road was doing
exceptionally well, and he thinks the
earnings of the present month, from all
appearances so far, will be the largest in
the history of the property. 1t is the in
tention of the bondholders TO have the
trustees bid in the property for
them, unless it brings more than the
amount of the bonded indebtedness, which
is So, 400,0 900. The road was to have been
advertised in March, but the appeal of
the case will delay the sale for some
months. The appeal will be heard at the
March term of the superior court.

The pesoto Concerts.

The sacred concerts given Sunday
nights in the ladies' parlor Of the DeSoto
are enjoyed not alone by the guests of the
hotel, but by large number of ladies and
gentlemen who stop on their way to and
from church TO listen TO the music.
The DeSoto Is rapidly filling up, and be-
fore the month is out no doubt most of
the rooms will be taken. The hostel is
known all over the country, and a glance
at the register will show the class of
travel it entertains.
The'daily concerts, morning and evening,
are pleasing feature, and will be con

HIBERNIANs PLEDGE FIDELITY.
Division No. 8, of the Ancient Order,
Instituted.

Division No. 8, of the Ancient Order,
Instituted.
There was a large gathering of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians yesterday
afternoon in Hiberniau hall to witness the
reception of Division No. 3 into the order.
Eighty young men were present to join
the new division.
The aims and objects of the order were
expounded by Mr.. A. J. Gonley, of Au-
gusta, state delegate, and Mr.. p. J.
OConnor, chairman of the national direc
tory. Both spoke in glowing terms Of the
history of their ancient and honored So
clety, referred with pride to its loyalty TO
faith and the land from whence the
members or their fathers came, declared
that good Hibernian will always be
found to be model citizen, an upholder
and defender of American institutions
and respecter of the rights and liberty
OF his fellow citizens, that the order is
not political in any sense of the word but
that 1T is always ready to defend itself
against injury or injustice to it or any of
its members and that its banner bears the
message of Friendship, Unity and True
Christian Charity" and peace and good
will to all men.
The members of the new division were
formally initiated by the state delegate,
assisted by State Treasurer John 7.
Roman, State Secretary NJ A. Buttimer,
and County Delegate I. j. O'Brien.
Ohcers were then installed, as follows:
President-P. II. Gearon.
Vice President-J.J j. Dillon.
recording Secretary. +. Kelly.
Financial Secretary-M A. Nor rissey.
Treasurer-W. ]. Stafford.
overwhelmingly. S. Founder.
The officers are able and energetic, the
mem bers worthy and patriotic, and the
future of the division will sparkle with
promise. Congratulatory speeches were
made by the state and local officers and
the best wishes invoked for the future
welfare and prosperity of Hibernianism.
The rather sensational card published
by d. Lysaught in yesterdays MORNING
NEWS created quite stir in the circles
it referred to. Mr. Lysaught stated in
his card that he was blackballed by the
Ancient Order of Hibernians after a COM
mittee had waited on him and to which
he gave satisfactory answers.
There appears to be two sides, as the
case always is, of the matter. A promi-
nent member of the Ancient Order of
Hlbernians was seen yesterday imme-
diately after the meeting held by them.
He told MORNING News reporter that
the order had taken no Official notice of
the card. Both parties" the gentleman
said, understand the matter thoroughly,
and Mr.. Lysaught is mistaken in his
statement that he was ackbalIed. The
application was Withdrawn and not acted
upon, and that is all there is in it."

The Musin Concert the Weeks Open
ing Event.
The Musin concert at the theater to-
night will be an event in musical circles.
The advance sale of seats has been unusu-
ally large and the theater will be filled
with the admirers of the famous violinist.
The new artists that are with this COM
pany have been highly spoken of and come
to Savannah with the highest testimoni-
ais of the best musical critics in the
country.
Miss Bonsall, the contralto, has a voice
full of richness and mellowness. Miss
Annie Louise Tanner-Musin, already a
favorite in Savannah, possesses pure,
sweet, sympathetic voice that always
wins favor with her audience.
To listen to such music as that produced
by Musin is treat not soon to be for

duced, is play entirely unlike all PLAYS
which Lillian Lewis has heretofore APP
peared in. The part she plays is as light
and airy and fantastic as Mercutio. She
loves intensely, and with all that her love
has touch of comedy. She is fiercely
Jealous, but her jealousy is comical. She
is subhmely generous and self-sacriticing
and her generosity and her sacrifice of
self has smile, little laugh, ring of
humor which the tears of the breaking
heart and the pathos of the aching soul
cannot drive away. 1t IS a beautiful play
that same Goodbye, Sweetheart and
beautiful Lillian Lewis has a beautiful
part in it. Not one of those wretched
women who live by their wits. but a
woman whose JOY it is to give happiness
and Joy to her fellow creatures; whose
method of life revolves around the motto:
There are others in this world besides
me- in short a part which Lillian Lewis
can play and play well, because il is very
much like Lillian Lewis herself. Good
bye, Sweetheart, is a splendid production
and a splendid play"
