MAY DELAY THE BoxDHOLDERs.
A New Feature in the VI. and y. Ga.
Litigation.

new feature has arisen In the litigation
over the Marietta and North Georgia rail-
road. which may delay the first mortgage
bondholders somewhat IN getting their
money, whatever the amount may be
when the matter has finally been decided
by the court
II is the application OF the KnickerbOck-
er Trust COMPANY OF New York to re-
strain Newman Fro, Henry McHarg.
Henry A. Post. Thomas Carmichael and
the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern rail-
road Construction Company from assign
ing or pledging their rights in the prop
erty Of the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad.
The PLAINTIFF claims that the defendants
are indebted to iii in the sum OF $3.50,
loaned them in November last, TO secure
the purchase of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad. The Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern Construction Company Is
an organizat ton, ID is claimed, created by
the defendants to take the stock Of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad and
transfer the stock to the Atlanta, Knox
Eliie ana Northern railroad, company
not yet incorporated.
The whole scheme, It appears. was ven
! thated in the hearing that took place be-
Iore Judge Andrews Of the supreme court
OF New York. II seems that there was
q company Incorporated especially for
the purpose Of purchasing the Marietta
ana North Georgia railroad, and that the
reorganization committee above named
bought 1t In, in the name of this COM
pany as speculation. and so that they
might IN part be relieved Of the respon-
siDlnty by throwing ii onto company
which has no assets. This is practically
ana substantially the claim made by the
plaintifs and by those opposed TO the re-
organization committee.
NOW the knickerbocker Trust Com
pany wants Its money, which was loaned
and put up as security for the purchase
of the road. The history of the trans
action Is long and rather involved one
There are about 100000 or $4,000 of the
nrst mortgage bonds held in and around
savannah, and the only question in the
case that is of particular interest in this
section Is when will they get their money
After all the debts ahead of these bonds
are paid, II Is estimated that these bond
holders VIII receive from % to 30 cents on
the dollar, unless they succeed in revers-
ing the decision of Judge Newman, which
placed some of the accounts of the COM
pany ahead of the first mortgage indebt-
ness. These accounts in question are re-
ceiVerS' certificates on portion of the
property, which was not included under
the first mortgage and car trust notes.
The case is now in the circuit court of ap-
peals, and may be given a hearing within
the next sixty or ninety days. In case
Judge Newman's decision should be re-
Versed, the first mortgage bondholders
would receive something like double the
amount they will otherwise get, as mem
toned above.

MADE HONORARY DIRECTOR.
MIR. CARL l.. BRANDT AGAIN ELEC-
TED BY THE TELFAIR BOARD.

He Will Remain Director According
TO This Action Until His Successor
Is Chosen-COI. MERGERS Resolution
at the Meeting of the Academy's
Board of Managers-The Action
Likely TO Produce Some Discussion
at Tomorrow Nights Meeting of
the Historical Society.
Mr.. Carl L. Brandt has been elected
by the board Of managers of the Telfair
Academy. honorary director of that in
stitution for the ensuing year, and until
it shall be the pleasure Of the board 10
elect his successor.
This was the first action taken at the
meeting of the board of managers, who
are the curators of the Georgia Histori-
cal Society. A resolution providing for
the election Of Mr.. Brandt as director for
the ensuing year and until his successor
shall be elected, was introduced at the
beginning of the meeting by Col George
A. Mercer.
The object OF the resolution was to re-
tain Mr.. Brandt as director for the pres
ent, under practically the same arrange
ment as existed last year. Mr.. Brandt
was elected honorary director of the
academy for the year 1895 without salary,
and he agreed to accept the position and
give such advice as was necessary in
caring for the works of art in the build
ing, and even to look after them per-
sonally, the society paying him nothing
more than his expenses whenever he
might make a trip to Savannah for the
purposes named.
The resolution was adopted after some
little talk about the matter. There was
one vote against the resolution, how
ever, and 1t is stated that one or two
members were silent and did not vote at
all
1t is understood that there is some lit
tie dissatisfaction with this action, because
an art school has not been made out OF
the academy. 1t is well known, of course,
that a salaried director was dispensed
with because of the indebtedness of the
in the opinion of some of those, who have
taken an interest in the matter, this debt,
which amounts now to about $4,000, could
be funded, and the income of the society
from the Augusta and Savannah railroad
stock would furnish ample to create
sinking fund pay interest, and leave be-
sides enough for the salary of good art
teacher.
Many have a desire to see such pro-
ject as this carried out, and it is said on
this account there will be something said
at the meeting of the historical society
Monday night about the action of the
board. 1t is not known just what is con-
templated, but IL is said the action of the
board may furnish material for an inter-
esting discussion.
