FIGHTING FOR THE CASH.
Rival Claimants After the Proceeds of
a Railroads Sale.


Railroads Sale.
Atlanta, Ga, April 30.-The supreme
court to-day took up the case of the Cen
trail Trust Company of New York
against Benjamin Thumon and others.
Associate Justice Lumpkin was disquali-
fed and Gov. Northen appointed Judge
Jenkins, of the Ockmulgee circuit, TO
serve in his place. The case involves the
disposition of the proceeds of the sale
of the Atlanta and Florida rail
road. Under the foreclosure pro-
ceedings the Central Trust Company,
trustee for the bondholders, who brought
the road in, claim all the proceeds. This
claim if attacked by creditors of the road,
among them several law firms, who con-
tend that their claims have priority to
the mortgage of the Central Trust Com
pany, on the grounds that their claims
were entered within six months of the
appointment of a receiver Under the
federal court rules such claim is certi-
fed, and the question before the supreme
court is whether this rule applies in a
state court. There were two receivers
for the Atlanta and Florida, one ap-
pointed by Judge Speer and the other by
Judge Clarke, of the superior court.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

You cannot lose money on well selected
real estate, and that is the only class 1 ever
offer. No wildcat speculation in worthless
land, but good, ,Nyell located property that is
growing in value daily.
The lots in the southern section that 1 am
to sell at public sale on THURSDAY, May 10,
at $3.50 O clock, are as desirable as any in
Savannah. They are east of the s., F. & w.
Ry., and that is little against them in the
the opinion OF many, but they are north of
Anderson street, and that is in their favor in
the opinion of all. They are high, dry and
well drained, situated on Broad street, have
wide lanes in the rear, are supplied with pure
artesian water, and have new sewers.
The locality is as healthy as any in Savan-
nah, and delightful breezes always prevail
there. And when the streets are opened
across the s., f. & w Ry., these lots will
double in value, This is no idle assertion,
and if the people viii only think moment,
they will readily see that am correct. Moth
ing south of Anderson street can compare
with this locality in natural beauty, and ex-
cepting gas no part of the city has more con-
veniences.

before the altar two small, poorly-clad
children, their faces wet with
tears, who seemed to have been
praying. When asked what they
were doing there at such
an unseemly hour. they replied
that their father was dying in the
Episcopal hospital, and that they had
come for the father TO administer the
last sacrament.
CANE FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD.
Father Barry took the fathers name and
went in haste 10 the hospital. When he
explained his errand. the superintendent
expressed great surprise. He said that
there was man dying in the hospital by
the name Father Barry mentioned, but
that no one had been sent for the priest.
The priest was taken 10 the side of a
cot on which lay a man with wan,
wasted face.
"Who are youl" demanded the man in
weak voice as the priest approached
him.
Il am priest-did you not send for me
few moments ago2"
You are mistaken" the man
whispered; Il did not send for you-I
have no one to send-I am all alone in the
world am dying"
THAT is strange" replied the priest
"fOr found two children in the church.
They had rung the bell and they told me
that their father lay here dying and gave
me your name"
as it possible?" gasped the man, spring
ing up in bed. 1.-TWO children. did you
say2 What did they look like"
Their appearance was described in a
few words, and as the man listened his
head dropped upon his bosom. Tears
poured from his eyes, and he tried to
speak AT last, with great effort he
cried
They were my children-the children
buried-came back from heaven to help
save my soul.n With this he fell back
dead.

housekeeper, who said that she had
heard the bell in the sanctuary ring
He told her that she must have been
dreaming, but she stoutly denied this and
bade him listen. Sure enough they soon
heard the bell ring as if by a person in
great haste. Father Barry, however.

church, and dressing hastily he took a
light and boldly entered the building.
