A certain amount of fat,
burned daily, would keep your
body warm and healthy. Bot
your digestion is bad, and YOU
don't get it from ordinary fat

PrOperty-The Anti-RaiIroad Lead

the Capitalization of the Roads Is
Excessive.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. s.-As predicted in
these dispatches, the railroads are prepar-
ing to fight the action of the state railroad
commission in the courts on it's order max
ing the 20 per cent. reduction in fertilizer
rates. meeting or conference of the at
torneys of all the lines at interest has been
called to be held in this city tomorrow
for the purpose of outlining the course to
be pursued in making the resistance to
the commissions cut. 1t is very probable
that an injunction will be asked for but
Fleming duBignon, general counsel for
the Plant system, who is here now. stated
this afternoon that 1t was not possible to
tell whether the injunction proceedings
would be instituted in the state or federal
courts, il that course is determined upon.
In his argument before the commission
Mr.. duBignon took the position that the
roads were entitled to earn a fair interest
upon their investment and that the United
States supreme court had so held in
case from Texas as well as in other decis-
ions on the same line, and this will in all
likelihood be the ground upon which the
fight will be pitched.
The roads will contend that the reduction
ordered by the commission is in the ma
ture of a confscation of their property as
1t deprives them of the ability to earn
dividends by unjustly and arbitrarily re-
ducing their revenues. With the proceed
ings based on this line of reasoning, the
Whole question of the alleged over capital
ization of the railroads in Georgia, and the
south too, will be brought into court, as that
will be a material point in the allegation
on both sides. This will make the fight
one of the most noted in the records of the
state.

SPICY LARCENY CASE.
Mrs. VIII MayfeId of Athens Accused
by Miss EnIn Bird.

Athens Ga. Jan. s.-This morning in
Judge Fosters court the case of the state
VS. Mrs. VIII Mayfeld was called, and
the defendant waived a hearing. The
charge was larceny from the house, and
her bond was placed at $3.50. which was
given. The prosecutrix is Miss Eula Bird,
a saleslady at Dawson & Lows dry goods
house. The defendants family is well
known and highly respected here. Miss
Bird lost about $50 worth of clothing,
which she claims she afterward found in
the possession of the defendant
Mrs. Mayheld Indignantly denies the
charge, and says the clothes are her prop
erty. and always have been. Miss Bird
swore out the warrant and engaged Col.
John J. Strickland to represent the prose-
cution. Mrs. Mayfield has retained COL.
+. T. Brown to defend her, and the case
will be warmly fought in the courts. The
defense will seek to establish the owner
ship of the property, and a conspiracy en-
the part of the prosecution against the
defendant. Col. Brown is sanguine of
the acquittal of his client. The case
promises to be highly interesting. 1t
comes up in Clarke superior court next
April.

A YEAR OF LITTLE LITIGATION.
But Two Suits Against the City Dur
ing 1896.

The mayor received the annual report
of City Attorney S. p. Adams yesterday
The report is brief which is explained by
Mr.. Adams statement that the year has
been an exceptional one. so far as litiga-
ton is concerned only two suits having
been filed against the city during the
year, and these not of great importance
Thomas j. McEvoy sued the city for
5000 damages, for injuries sustained by
railing over post in the sidewalk of a
back street. The case is still pending.
A. j. Gresham petitioned the superior
court for injunction against the city, de-
nying its right to collect from him a
specific tax of $3.50, levied upon persons
doing a loan business, otherwise than
pawnbroking. The court granted a tenn
porary injunction without passing upon
the merits of the case, and the city at
torney appealed the matter to the SUI
preme court, for the sake OF securing a
decision TO be used as a precedent in
future cases of this kind. The case is now
awaiting hearing by the supreme court
or the litigation on account of
paving assessments Mr.. Adams says:
Since my last report two of the Liberty
street cases have been again tried and
nave resulted in Judgments for the city
for the full amount, with interest and
costs. The property owners are still en-
deavoring to get rid of these adjudica-
TONS but am confident that the amounts
claimed by the city will have to be paid,
with interest at per cent. and COSTS
This is certainly true, unless our supreme
court changes its mind, and this, l cannot
anticipate. The city has certainly done
those things which, in the last decision,
the court said would make the executions
collectable. 1 believe the court intended
that this last decision should finally dis
pose of the litigation. There are still
pending, however. thirty-four of origin
ally more than 100 executions While this
litigation has been protracted, yet, in It's
essential and controlling results, the de-
cisions of the supreme court have been,
in the main, favorable to the
city. In these cases the consti-
tutionality of the act of 1887 and of like
legislation was vigorously assailed upon
various grounds, which, if sustained,
would have deprived the city of making
these improvements, unless the entire ex-
pense was paid out of the city treasury.
The sustaining of the validity of this leg
islation has permitted the city to do a
great deal of improvement since. which
would probably not have been done had
the law been set aside.
THE litigation with the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railway Company, no.
tlced IN my former report, has been nap
PLY terminated by an agreement with the
railway company, secured by the diligent
and assiduous work of the committee and
by yourself and the other members of the
board, which is an exceedingly fortunate
one, and will be of great service and ad-
vantage to the citizens of Savannah. AS
you are aware, the railway officials in this
matter manifested not only just, but a
liberal and Jealous spirit"
The jefferson street assessment cases
are now awaiting hearing by the supe-
rior court.

FLYNN HEIRS LOSE THE FIGHT.
THEIR MOTHERS WILL SUSTAINED
BY THE COURT.

Lawyer Jack SpaIding to Have the
Handling of the Rich Estate For
Years to COme-A Question Raised
rs to the Right of Sister Monica to
Receive Her share of the Estate
Owing 10 the Fact That She
Renowned the World on Entering
the Convent.
Atlanta, Ca. Jan. s.-The effort of the
heirs to break the will OF Mrs. J. Flynn,
one of the most sensational cases of the
kind in the annals of the county, failed to-
day.
The case has been on trial the whole
week in the superior court before Judge
]. H. Lumpkin, who late this afternoon
rendered his decision, unfolding the viii
and sustaining the executor, Jack J.
Spaldlng. Mrs. Flynn, who died year or
so ago. left an estate worth 100000. 1t is
composed OF the National hotel property
and other business houses in that central
block, in most part. Under the terms of
the will, the property was TO be divided
between her children, five in number.
Katherine Flynn, who is now and was at
tho time of her mothers death, a nun in
a Baltimore convent, was to receive one
tenth part of the estate in fee, while the
other four were to get an equal share in
the rents and profits for the remainder of
their lives. They could not divide the es-
tate nor change its condition and IT was
this feature that brought on the contest
10 break the Will. After the death of The
children the estate was to go to their
children in fee.
Jack J. Spalding was named as execu-
tor in the viii, which had been drawn up
by his law partner. Alex c. King, the
firm having been the legal advisers Of
the testator for years. When the attack
on the will was instituted, it was alleged
that Mrs. Flynn at the time it was drawn
up and signed by her was not in her
right mind. She was declared to have
been unable to write her name to the
document when it was signed, but that
Mr.. Spalding took her hand in his and
guided it over the paper. The children
testified on the stand that she was in a
stupor, and had been for two days prior
to the time the will was made, although
she did not die until the day following the
execution. 1t was said on the stand by the
heirs that their mother was unable TO I'M
derstand anything during this period but
had to be shaken by her attendants in
order to raise her UP sufficiently TO be
able to know that something was ex
pected of her.
A great mass of testimony was pro-
duced on this line, the trend of the at
tack by the heirs being to show that Mrs
Flynn had been unduly influenced by Mr..
Spalding as executor to place the manage
ment of the estate in his hands during
the life Of her children, instead of making
a complete division of it among them.
The result of the case was, however,
vindication of the executor, the jury hold
ing that Mrs. Flynn knew what she was
doing when she made the will, and that
1t should be regularly admitted to pro.
bate.
Another of the peculiar features of the
cause is whether Miss Katherine Flynn,
now Sister Monica, can receive her por.
ton of the estate, having renowned the
world when she took orders.
