The L. $. Supreme Court Grants q
CertiOrari.
The supreme court of the United States
has just granted certiorari in certain
cases of interest, which were decided by
the circuit court of appeals, against the
receivers Of the Central railroad and
Banking Company.
The cases were those of the Virginia
and Alabama Coal and Iron Company
the Schloss Iron and Coal Company, and
the Corona Coal Company, brought
against the receivers for coal
delivered to the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company when
It was operating the Central, and
which was used on the Central railroad
The amount involved is between $40, 900
and $4,000.
The question involved is quite an import
ant one, and a decision will be awaited
with interest. 1t is whether or not the
lessor company is bound for purchases
made by the lessee company while in
charge of and operating the railroad
Judge Emory Speer decided that the re-
ceivers were not liable and the plant
tins carried the matter to the circuit
court of appeals, where Judge Speer's de-
cson was reversed.
Mr.. 7. NJ. Cunningham, Jr representfng
the receivers, brought the matter to the
attention Of the supreme court, and last
Monday write of certiorari was granted.
and the supreme court will now look into
the grounds on which the matter was de-
cided by the court of appeals

REAL ESTATE MEN TO MEET.
They VIII Organize Their Associa-

ton Next Week.
meeting of real estate owners for the
purpose of forming an association for the
protection of the interests of the men,
bers will be called one night next week,
probably Tuesday night, If suitable hall
can be secured.
The committee, which was appointed at
the informal meeting last week, has de-
cided to cali the meeting and to take
other steps looking to an organization OF
the real estate owners. member of the
committee assured a Morning News re-
porter yesterday that he was satisfied the
meeting would be largely attended.
There is a very general interest in the
matter among the real estate owners, -
said he, land / am satisfied that a strong
association will be formed. The real
estate owners feel the need Of. some such
organization to protect their interests. The
idea that the association is to be organ
lied for the purpose of fighting the city
administration is erroneous. Those of us
who have worked up the matter have no
such intention. The association will OF
course. give its attention to all matters
affecting real estate, including legisla-
ton. II does not follow by any means
that we viii oppose every action of the city
council which appears to increase the
burdens upon real estate. We know that
an increased burden sometimes results in
benefits, as in the case Of public improve
ments which increase the value of real
estate The association is needed by the
real estate owners and is intended to be
a permanent one.

Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry
and the Lyceum Company will arrive from
Charleston this morning. Their presenta-
ton Of The Bells and Nance Oldheld at
the theater tonight will be. beyond any
question, the most important dramatic
event that has taken place in Savannah
In years. The sale Of seats up to last
night indicated that the audience will be

tator Is lost to himself and surroundings,
and is wrapped only in contemplation of
reality before him.
The same may be said of Miss Terry in
Nance Oldheld, in which her critics say
she appears at her best.
The management of the theater is graf
lned TO have heard so many favorable
comments upon the change in the bill, and
belieVes that its patrons will be satisfied
when they have seen and heard what is
promised. The prices for the first twelve
rows IN the orchestra are s., the refnaining
rows, 50; balcony, first three rows, 50; re-
naming rows, 3; admission to gallery or
any part of the house, 81. The gallery
VIII be well patronized many having ex-
pressed their intention of viewing the per-
tormance from that part of the house.
The Morning News is requested to cor
rect an impression prevailing regarding
Mrs. Sidney Laniers readings, namely
that admission to them is limited to the
visiting list of the house where the read
ing takes place. This is not the case
Parlor readings are open to whoever buys
a ticket: The readings are held in private
houses because Mrs. Lanier does not feel
equal to appearing in a hall, and not for
the purpose of making them exclusive.
1t is hoped that the efforts of the gifted
wife of Georgia's sweetest poet will re-
ceive substantial recognition from the
people of Savannah.

BLAZE IN 4 TAILOR SHOP.
A Lively Smudge in the Savannah
Tailoring Co.'s Place.

The place of business of the Savannah
Tailoring Company. No. 147 Congress
street was discovered on fire last night
about Z o'clock. 1t was several minutes
after the fire was discovered before an
alarm was turned in.
Fire Commissioner Hugh Logan was
one of those who saw the blaze ana was
just about to send in an alarm when some
one sent in an alarm from box 10 at
Broughton and Whitaker street. The de-
partment responded in good shape and
got to work promptly. The door was
burst open and the stream from the chem
zeal soon settled the business with the
fire.
The fire had apparently caught the
clothing on a work bench near the stove
A considerable amount of clothing was
destroyed, but how much could not he
told. The greater part of the stock es
capped without damage as there was no
water used.
The business is conducted by two broth
ers named Greenburg, neither of whom
were at the fire. The place had been
closed about an hour when the fire was
discovered. The elder Greenburer vas
said to have left the city on drumrnine
tour in the afternoon. 1t is supposed thai
the place was insured.

Cannot BE Received in the State
Asylum.
Jacob Frank a German sailor, is in jail
where he is serving a thirty-days' sem
tence from the recorders court
Frank is said to be a confirmed lunatic
and was in Jail some time ago under an
affidavit making that charge, but he was
released by Judge Ferrill on account of the
fact that, being a German citizen, the
court of ordinary had no jurisdiction over
him.
The matter, it is understood, has been
brought to the attention of the German
consul, but as such he can do nothing
for the man.
Franks condition, it is understood, LED
to the imposition of his present sentence
simply for the purpose of getting him off
the streets. He was formerly sailor on
the German steamship Mary Elizabeth.
His condition is really an unfortunate
one, and so far no provision has been
made to have him taken care of.
