Justice jackson has been at st. Peters
burg, Fla, for the last two or three
weeks recuperating. He has been suffer-
ing from bronchial troubles. and has
sought the warmer climate for his health
For this reason, and for the further rea-
son that all the testimony in connection
with the case has not yet been taken, it
was found necessary to postpone it from
March l, the date on which it was to
have been heard in Washington.
In answer to a letter from Messrs. Law
ton ~ Cunningham, Justice jackson re-
Piled that he ould remain in Florida I'M
TIL about March 20, when he would go
back to Washington, and that he would
arrange to stop here on his way back and
hear the matter in this court.
~ BE HEARD IN TWO WEEKS.
All the testimony in connection with
this application has not yet been taken
Both sides agreed to the postponement of
the hearing before the master with the
proviso that either side could take testi-
mony at any time before the hearing, on
proper notice being given. Whatever
testimony remains to be taken will prob
ably como up within the next two weeks
me hearing of the matter here will
bring a number of New York ATTORNEYS to
the city. Among those who will come here
Will be representatives of the firms of Tur-
ner Mcclure E. Rolston for the Farmers,
Loan and Trust Company; Calhoun, King
q Spalding, for Simon Borg, Alexan-
der Brown and other bondholders of the

TO PAY THE SOUTHWESTERN.
Another matter which will be pre-
sented TO Justice jackson here will be an
application on the part of the receivers Of
the Central railroad for permission to pay
over to the Southwestern Railroad Com
pany the net earnings Of that railroad
now in the CentraIs treasury amounting
to S1S1, $3.50. Messrs. Frank Miller and
A. o. Bacon will probably be on hand in
behalf Of the Southwestern. This appli-
cation will be resisted by the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company, trustee under
the tripartite mortgage. on the ground
that the lien under that mortgage is a lien
on the earnings of the mortgaged properties
as we'll as upon the properties them
selves. Mr.. Henry Crawford, who signs
himself counsel for the Richmond Termi,
nal and Warehouse Company, and certain
bondholders will also resist this applica-
tion, holding that this money should be
retained to pay the expenses under the
receivership. and other expenses in the
general wind-up of the Affairs of the prop
erty. The hearing altogether will prob
ably be very interesting one.
