The Reorganization Committee of the Whisky Trust Scores Decisive Victory
 The Order of Sale.

Chicago, July 3-After a long and ar duous campaign, each battle of which has
 been hotly contested, the reorganization committee of the whiskey trust this af-
 ternoon practically reached the end of it's
 work and scored a final victory over the
 Greenhut-Morris interests, which have
 bitterly contested every step The con-
 sideration of the order for a judicial sale,
 which has been in progress for two days,
 was finished and all its points agreed
 upon. Judge Showalter said he would
 sign the order as soon as a clean printed
 copy of it. as amended, was submitted
 to him. This will probably be done next
 Friday. The sale will be ordered to take
 place by auction in Cook county and the
 price of $9S00000. offered by the reor-
 ganizatlon committee, will be considered
 an upset price. A deposit of $100000 cash
 will be re <Ared, to be forfeited in case
 the compaNy fails to run the distilleres
 or to keep them in repair. As security
 the stockholders and creditors will have
 a lien on the whole property and the
 court will be empowered besides to take
 back the property if he finds it is being
 wasted.
 The war between the two factions of
 the trust has been waged since January
 2S, when Greenhut was appointed receiv- CT, only to be deposed few days after ward by order of the court. The de-
 
 the attorneys of MT. Greenhut trying
 hard to be made parties of record, so they will have the right of appeal. Their pe- tition to this effect was denied by the court yesterday, but they renewed it to- day in more formal manner, and in- sisted upon being recognized in court. Attorneys Walker and Eddy, repre- senting the minority stockholders, told the court they did not think their clients
 were getting justice in being denied the
 right to come in as parties of record-if not as defendants, then as compliments in the original cause. MT. Walker said he hoped the court would not continue In | the end to submit to the dictates of the counsel for the reorganization committed In replying to the insinuations that the court was partial Ex-Judge Morgan de- clared that it was outra geous that Greenhut and Morris should longer be permitted to obstruct the business of the court and still more outrageous that counsel should attempt to coerce the court into granting them the right to stop the work of reorganization by talk
 ing an appeal which would require two years at least to decide.
 MT. Walker made a sarcastic attack on the receiver and moved that his re- port be referred to a master in chancery for extension. He insisted that the property be sold, instead of the cream of it. as was now proposed and intimated that if this were done the Greenhut- Morris interests might be Q bidder for it. It developed in the course of the dis cussion that the reorganization commit tee has now about $1,40O,O0O with which | to carry on its new business. Under the terms of giving stock as part payment | only $70000 cash would have been re- | quired, but this will not be paid in.

CAPTAINS PLUCKY WIFE

Saved the Life of the Mate, Attacked by an
 Infuriated Negro.
 Apalachicola, Fla July 3.-As the schooner George L. Drake sailed out from Galveston the mate, c. B. Swett, was at- tackled by colored sailor named Nelson Gardner who succeeded in stabbing the mate in the back. At one time the sailor had the mate on the deck and the cap tain's wife came upon the scene with a pistol in her hand, and, drawing a bead upon the sailor, ordered him to desist or she would fill him full of lead. With the revolver aimed at his head there was no choice but to obey, and he was soon placed in irons.
 Upon arrival at Apalachicola he was carried to the jail. where he now remains. Fortunately for the mate the knife the negro was using was fastened around his neck with string, and this assisted the mate in escaping. Gardner was ar raigned before United States commits sioner and put under $100 bond, which he failed to give.

warships to Be Made Fireproof.

Washington, July 3.-Under orders from the secretary of navy Chief Con- structor Hickborn has undertaken the work of making fireproof all parts of naval vessels that can be so benefited. The woodwork will be subjected to a fire-proof veneering by an electrical pro- cess and fre-proof paper and canvas will also be utilized. The necessity for this new departure of the navy department was shown to Secretary Herbert after the battle between the fleets of Japanese and Chinese ships at the mouth of the Yalu rdver. Nearly all the Chinese ships caught fire and they were not only materially weakened for that reason, but other ships were compelled to go to their assistance. Hereafter all combustible material used in the construction of United States naval vessels will be made as nearly fire-proof as possible.

MIR. BORG DENIES
That Negotiations With the Georgia Central
 Committee Have Been Broken Of,


 New York, July 3.-Simon Borg, chair man of the protective committee. rep- resenting the Savannah and Western bondholders, says in relation to the an- nouncement that all negotiations be- tween the committee and Georgia Cen tral railroad organization committee have been broken off
 Continuing it is true that our com mittee will insist upon a modification of the terms offered by the Georgia Cen tral railroad, but it Is not true that the negotiations have been ended. Unless they have been broken off by the Georgia Central without my knowledge, the ne- gotiations are still pending"
 It is announced on excellent authority that the committee on bondholders of the Savannah and Western railroad have ac- cepted the proposition, with some modi- fication, contained in the Georgia Cen tral reorganization plan. The committee will have a meeting on Friday to take formal action. The last obstacle to the Georgia Central plan is now removed.

HTZ IS FREE.
Acquitted of Killing Con RiOrdan-verdict Received With Applause-he Antioi-
 pates the Fourth

Syracuse. N. Y, July 3.-Bob Fitz- simmons, the well-known pugilist, who has been on trial here for week past on the charge of being responsible for the death of his late sparring partner, Con Riordan, is free.
 Shortly after 8 o'clock tonight the jury filed in before a crowded court room. and after they had answered to their names their foreman announced the verdict, Not guilty"
 Immediately a tremendous cheer went up. Such boisterous demonstration has not been seen in the Onandoga county court house irS- many years. County Judge Rose pounded with his gavel in vain for order, and finally com manded the sheriff and his deputies to put everybody under arrest. This had the effect of quieting the crowd, and inasmuch as the order was not carried out everybody went away happy In consequence of the verdict the Fourth of July demonstration seems to have started in early, for Bob Fitzsimmons' friends are celebrating in the good old-fashioned way.
 The summing up of Attorney Frederick House of New York for the defense was an eloquent effort, and it took the jury but short time to arrive at the yer dict of acquittal.

REPENTANT AND SICK

Poor Meda Wright Turns Her Face Toward
 aForgiving Mother.
 Jacksonville, Fla, July 3.-Meda Wright, a half-witted and homely girl of 20 who ran away with a married man of 40 from Quincy, H., to this city three months ago. was put on the train this evening by Chief of Police Keefe and sent home. She was glad to go, for she had repented of her folly or became sick. Her old mother, who was almost heartbroken over her departure, was in ignorance of her daughters whereabouts until a week or two ago, when she re- ceived a letter from the girl, begging for giveness.
 The mother at once sent money to the chief of police with which to purchase the tickets. The mother said the man who had stolen the girl away was named Gray; that he had a wife and four chil- dren living near Quincy, but that in Jacksonville he was known by the name of Wright. Gray is a man 40 years of age, and is by no means handsome.
 Gray made no opposition to the depar- tnre of the girl. In fact. he appeared to be as glad she was to part.

Jacksonville Reporters Run Across the Bir-

 Jacksonville, Fla, July 3.-During the last ten days 162 negroes have left Jack sonville to work in the mines around Birmingham, Ala. The offers that in- duced them to go were from $1 to $1.25 per day wages, or piece work that would pay more. The emigration agents have done their work very quietly, and sent away the negroes in bodies of from a dozen to a score so that few were any the wiser.
 A Birmingham man said to a Times Union reporter last night that there was no strike, and that the negroes were not wanted to fill strikers places, but were needed to operate new mines and old mines in which work some time ago ceased When the old mines closed down hundreds of the workmen sought new Yields of labor. Now that the boom is on again laborers are needed to fill the places of those who went away. The same inducements offered in Jacksonville are offered in other southern cities, from which the same quiet movement toward Birmingham has been made.
