SAMUEL SPENcER'S BIG SCOOP
THE CONTROL OF THE GEORGIA
SOUTHERN COSTS NOTHING.

The Bonds to BE Issued Under the
Reorganization Sold to the Mary
land Trust Company Mt Par-Thc
Southern to Retain the stock
which Gives 1t Control of the
Property.
Baltimore, July T.-As the facts become
known the impression is forced that Pres
ident Spencer of the Southern Railway
Company engineered a master deal in &C
curing control of the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad. 1t is not often
that one corporation secures control OF
another which is paying handsomely for
nothing and makes a good profit in the bar
gain. But that appears to be what Presi-
dent Spencer and his associates have &C.
compnshed and the deal was the chief
topic in local financial circles to-day.
1t is not known definitely at what
figures the Southern purchased the re-
ceivers' certificates of the Georgia South
ern and Florida, but it is believed that
the price ranged all the way from IS to
about 81. Each certificate is entitled to
one bond, 500 of preferred stock, $500 Of
second preferred stock and $500 of common
stock
AS the Southern purchased the certif-
Gates only to secure control of the stock
they are entitled to President Spencer
began looking around for purchaser for
the bonds, amounting TO between $l,SOO,O00
and 100000.
Negotiations were opened with the
Maryland Trust Company and that insti-
tuition formed a syndicate composed of
some of the principal capitalists of Balti-
more and struck a bargain. 1t is said
that the price was in the neighborhood of
100. This would be per cent. above the
highest price paid by the Southern, when
it was accommodating the certificates, and
would more than pay for both the bonds
and stocks, which the latter secured, thus
making the cost of control of the Georgia
Southern and Florida line to the Southern
nothing, In addition to netting the COM
pany a handsome profit on the original
transaction.
The Georgia Southern and Florida, while
in the hands of receiver, has earned con-
siderably more than it's fixed charges and
under the plan of reorganization ii is rea-
sonable to expect a large increase In earn
ings, both gross and net, now that 1t has
been merged into the Southern railway
system. The Southern Railway Company
acquires a valuable property, which not
only gives a direct line into Florida, but
actually earns a surplus out of its own
business.

Detroit, Mich. July 17-Herbert john
son of Windsor, who was released only
two months ago after serving term for
smuggling Chinese into this country, was

and Porter Charles McLain of Chicago,
and four Cinnamon, Lee Sin, Lee Shook
Lee Hung and Lee Ping, none of whom can
speak a word of English, were also ar
rested and locked up in the county Jail
The capture was the result of continued
vilgant work on. the part of Wood and
Kennary, who had been trying to fathom
the peculiar manner In which Chinese
were being struggled into this country.
They finally determined it was to be by the
sleeping car route, but were hampered in a
thorough search Of the cars, as they could
not insist on looking into berths which
the conductor assured them were occu-
pied by ladies. When the officers went
through the car last night the porter lock-
ed the state room door, saying 1t was
occupied by ladies. The conductor affirm
ed this statement. The officers insisted
on entering, and found Johnson and four
Cinnamon occupying the berths. The ar

that almost all the clothing OF the mur-
dered Pitezel girls was burned. some ar
ticles OF attire belonging TO them were
stuffed into the chimney and into holes
around the house at No. l6 St Vincent

was first supposed that they had been

fails TO reveal them. and It is now thought
they were amputated by Holmes for some
reason.

taken all the necessary preliminary steps

Nervousness is the Wall
Of the Nerves for Food.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH
A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN.
People With Weak, Flabby Nerves are
the Ones who Suffer in this Hot,
suItry Weather. They may be
Relieved by Building up Their
Nerves with a NOurishing
Nerve Food.

"What a weak -kneed individual"
The person referred to, did indeed look
broken down. dispirited, and lifeless.
"What is the matter with him?"
az scarcely know. During the cool
weather, he seems to be all right, and TO
have some life and a little ambition; but the
moment the hot weather comes he simply
willis down, and seems to have neither
strength nor vitality"
That explained the case. The man was
in a generally rundown condition with not
enough reserve force TO resist the enervating
effects of the season. His nerves were weak,
unstrung as we say. The food he ate only
partially reinforced his strength. The re-
suit was. he had cOns'antly drawn on his
reserve force so long that his nerves finally
rebelled, and sounded the gong for him 10
stop. If the signal be needed, and he takes
steps to refresh, and build up his nervous
system. he will recover; if not and the strain
goes on, nothing can save him.
There are a good many things recon-
mended for this purpose. But the trouble
with nearly all Of them is. they are only
tonics or stimulants. They apparently bene-
fit, but il is only for time then the pa
tient is worse than before. But there is one
food for the nerves, am happy 10 say in
which have the greatest confidence, which
is in reality food 1t contains just those
vitalizing principles, which impart new
nerve force; II buttdS up the nerves, ana "
imparting to them new strength, gradually
COAXFS them back TO a normal healthy
condition. They are fortified against the
hot weather, the man RECEIVERS his energy,
his force and he walks with an elastic step.
He drives his work with viii, where be-
fore il drove him. His spirits rise, and
everything looks bright 70 him. This food
is DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
which are now known and used the world
over; in North and South America, Eng
land and the English provinces, Canada,
India. So. Africa, France. They are so
widely known, and their excellent effects in
nerve building 80 much talked about both
here and abroad, that il is not necessary for
3 me 10 enlarge further on the subject. But
assure YOU the medical profession every
where are very glad indeed 10 avail them
relves of this nerve food, so scientifically
compounded. and that they use 1t very
largely in their practice"
