Controlling Interest in the Alabama Great Standardization Spencer Was the
 Sole Bidder at 10 Per Cent Cash


 Knoxville, Tenn, July 2.--The South ern railway was the purchaser of $15,- 900, GOO worth of stock in the Alabama Great Southern railroad company of- fered at public outcry in this city today pursuant to a decree of the United States circuit court.
 Special Master John W. Childress of Nashville conducted the sale, there being only one bidder, President Samuel Spen- cer of the Southern. After the reading of the order of foreclosure, which was made by the Central Trust company of New York; through their agent, Mir Cal houn, President Spencer bid in the bonds .for $1 100000. This is the stock formerly owned by the old East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia road, and by acquiring control of the same it is said that the Southern has the Queen and Crescent system under it's thumb. There were four patches of stock, as follows:
 Five thousand and one shares of Queen and Crescent, 7S,301 shares of ordinary Alabama Great Southern, 34, 900 shares of preferred Alabama Great Southern, and S4,000 shares of second preferred Ala bama Great Southern stock. The sale was effected for 10 per cent cash.
