Sheriff Plummer nearly lost valuable
horse in peculiar manner yesterday
morning. The animal was in his stall
at the jail stable and the hostler had
opened trap door behind him down
which he was sweeping the stable ref use.

considered himself ex tremely fortunate
in not losing the horse altogether.

Mercant1le Trust Company Hass All

There has been a good deal of criticism
and dissatisfaction with regard to the de-
lay in issuing the new securities to take
up the receipts Of the Mercantile Trust
Company given for securities of the old
Central Railroad and Banking Company.
which were deposited with that company
for reorganization purposes.
The holders of the old Savannah and
Western railroad bonds have all received
their new securities the distribution be-
ing made through the Central Trust Com
pany OF New York, and those who held
stock, debentUres and other securities Of
the Central have been trying to find out
why they do not get theirs. In the alb
sence of Mr.. Henry Crawford, who rep
resents Messrs. Thomas and Ryan, Mr.
W. A c. Even, treasurer of the Central
of Georgia Railway COMPANY was seen
at the De Soto last night and asked about
the new securities.

Inc officers OF that company stated that
they would at once advertise the fact

changes both in the New York and Sa-
Nannah papers l am surprised that the
Mercantile Trust Company is not deliv-
ering the new securities as there is no
obstacle in the way of the owners getting
them"
1t was reported that this was to be in
terposed as an objection TO the granting
OF Messrs. Thomas q Ryan for the dis
charge of the Central railroad receivers
but II Is said IL can hardly hold as such
as Messrs. Thomas a. Ryan performed
their contract in full, when they delivered
the new securities to the Mercantile Trust
Company. Security holders have the re-
ceipts of the Mercantile Trust Company.
which call for new securities according
to the number of old ones deposited. and
that company is, of course, under obliga-
tons TO deliver them as early as possible
Those who deposited their securities
with the southern Bank received temper
airy receipts OF the Mercantile Trust Com
pany. AS the Southern Bank will not de-
liver the new securities, but they must be
obtained from the company itself, II will
be necessary for security holders to oh
tain the Mercantile Trust Company's per-
manent receipts in exchange for the tenn
porary receipts, before they can get their
new securities. The Southern Bank now
has permanent receipts for all securities
that were deposited with 1t, and as the
new securities are liable to be issued any
day now. IL would be well for the holders
of temporary receipts to exchange them
The permanent receipts are negotiable and
they are the only ones that will be recog-
nized in the distribution of the new Sc
curities.

a grand total OF 4,2O returns of personal

The improvement contemplates extend

Policeman Larrissey's Strange Dis

A startling sight met the eyes OF Police
man Larissey as he was walking through
Chippewa square at 1:SO o'clock this morn

Seated on a bench in the middle Of the
square was a young woman. This would
not have been so remarkable but for the
fact that she was hardly in proper cloth

the young woman had on nothing but a
night dress, a pair of stockings and tan
shoes. She was not even clothed in her

Sergeant Baughan sent the police am
