From the Philadelphia Record
Boston, Mass, Jan. PA letter re-
Gently received in Boston from Monte
Carlo dated Jan, l says; "Your newspa-
pers are mistaken about the movements
of Mrs. Frank L. Higginson and Mr..
James Wheatland Smith. They are both
here, and she looks radiantly happy.
I'm fact she is quite stunning in appear
ance, and, although her costumes have
not the Paris touch, they are not Dos
truth in the rumor that she had a trous-
seau prepared in New York, for which
her husband has been called upon to pay.
Il do not believe that her condition
seems to be enjoying life here to the full,
and revels in all the gayeties of these
beautiful surroundings.
But he looks as If existence had be-
come a burden. Already lines of care are
furrowing his forehead, and his face
bears a strained look of anxiety that is
painful to see in so young a man. But
of course nobody would pity either of
Smiths actions bespeak an intimate
acquaintance with the rosy Mrs. Hig-
ginson does not act as If she INDUCED
but is more like a bride, bubbling over
with happiness, than woman of years
and experience.
They both have spent a good deal of
time at the tables and have been fear
fully unlucl1y. of course, you know the
old saying. lucky in love; unlucky at
cards, and it has been fully exempiffed
in this case If one can call such a pas
sion fortunate: At first they played gold
in large quantities, but they lost so heav-
lily that I heard Smith say this won't do.
We must hold up and now they only plaV
a franc at a time. My maid says Mrs. III.

Application for Receiver Denied

Application for Receiver Denied
and Foreclosure 10 Follow.
Atlanta, Ga. Jan. H-Judge Lumpkin.
presiding In the superior court to-day re-
fused TO appoint a receiver for the liquor
firm Of S. Marks 8 Co.. upon the applica-
ton of the Southern Redistilling and Rec
flying Company.
Marks & Co. conducted a wholesale
liquor business in Atlanta, Savannah and
Columbus. Recently a mortgage. held
against the firm by the Capital CITY Bank
OF Atlanta was foreclosed and the sheriff
took charge of the stock of goods in this
city When the case came up affidavits
were heard, showing that Marks had made
a statement to the mercantile agencies
that he owned in merchandise and money
about $4,000, while he owned not more
than 10000. On the strength of these
statements, 1t was alleged he bought bills
OF goods from New York to New, Orleans,
and sold the goods at a rapid rate. But
instead of paying for what he had pur-
one atidavit was presented, showing that
that on Dec IA bill of
goods amounting to 500 was shipped to
him from New Orleans, but a few days
later when his stock was examined, not
more than sac worth of the stuff could be
found. Mr. Marks claimed, however, as
he had three stores, the balance of the
stun might, have beet shipped TO one of
these stores IN Savannah Or Columbus
on account of the state of affairs, the ap-
plication for a receiver was made and the
mortgages attached. Under the order of
court denying the receiver the mortgages
are to be foreclosed.
