SAVED FROM A RECEIVER.
Judge Lumpkin Declines to Appoint One
for A. and W. Railroad.

Atlanta, Ga, March 6.-The applica-
tion OF l.. b. Nelson, a stockholder, for
a receiver for the Atlanta and Western
Railway was to-day refused by Judge
Lumpkin, OF the Superior court, who at
the same time granted an injunction 10
prevent the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad Company and the other defend
ant corporations from carrying into effect
the provisions OF the new charter by
which the company is authorized to bOr-
row money or incumber the property.
The order also enjoins them from
carrying into effect any of the other
changes proposed by the new charter. and
it is decreed that the status of the com
pany shall not be changed until final
decision is had or until further order OF
the court.
This is not a complete victory for either
side. 1t has never been believed that
interest in this suit was confined to the
plaintiff, Nelson, and recent developments
indicate that vast railroad interests are
behind it. 1t is supposed now that the
suit was brought in the interest of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

WALKING AND TALKING.
The New President Takes a Stroll With
His Friends

Washington, March 6.-President Nc
Kinley took a long walk through the
streets of Washington just before dusk
tonight and was cheered several times
along the way. 1t was an uncommon
sight to see the President swinging along
in this Democratic fashion, for Mr.. Cleve-
land seldom, if ever, walked through the
streets, and not since Grants time, had
Washingtonians seen a President join
ing in the general throngs along the thor
oughfares.
1t had been a fatiguing day at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, so that at 5 o'clock the
President asked Secretary Porter to join
him for a stroll. The President wore his
beaver coat and silk hat, with a silk muf-
fer at his throat. They emerged from the
White House grounds by the east walk
and turned into Pennsylvania avenue,
going west Twice the President was
joined by some friend, the latter one con-
tinuing throughout the walk. When he
was first recognized by the passing crowds
some dozen or more people began to fol-
low, but the President cut across the
street at the War. State and Navy build
ing, and retraced his steps to Seventeenth
street, going out to Connecticut avenue.
Before he left the avenue a cheer went up
from a party OF men who recognized him.
Further ON n party OF ladies and gen.
tlemen saluted him in passing, and he
returned them a sweeping bow 1t was
almost dark when the President returned
back to the White House, looking much
refreshed from the brisk walk

The House of Representatives met
Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock and
remained in continuous session until mid
night.
The public printing and the bill to turn
Goldsboro over to negro rule engaged its
attention during the morning hours, the
first matter being decided in favor of the
matter being left in the hands of the
Governors Council. and the second bill
passing on its first reading only.
Then came the special order-the Sem
ate substitute for the anti-lease bill,
passed by the House more than week
ago. 1t was taken up at l o'clock, and,
pursuant to q resolution adopted on Fri
day, it was to be voted on at 2 O'Clock.
Ten minutes was consumed in reading
the majority and minority reports, and
in presenting special opinion from
the Supreme court declaring the bill, un-
der certain conditions, unconstitutional.
The majority report, recommending that
the Senate bill do not pass was signed
by all the members of the committee ex-
cept Aiken. He presented the minority
report
This left fifty minutes for discussion
twenty-five minutes to each side. Hart
ness and Cook spoke for the majority
report, and Murphy, Gambler and Nc
Crary for the minority report.
Both sides sent up amendments.
Murphy sent forward one to overcome
the objection to the bill raised by the
decision of the Supreme court. Hart
ness amended it 10 make the Southern
Railway pay 10 per cent-this rental
having been offered by two other bidders,

an amendment the original bill which
had passed the House.
This of course came up for a vote first
1T was defeated by a vote of so to 63.
Then the flibustering by the anti
lease men began, and continued until II
o'clock when, on account of the Sunday
law prohibiting the transaction of any
sort Of business on the Sabbath, the mo-
tion to adjourn was carried.
The day had been stormy one. All
