PUT IN A RECEIVERS HANDS.
Bradley, Mercer d Co.'S Business
Taken Charge of by the Court.

Bradley, Mercer d Co.'S Business
Taken Charge of by the Court.
Mr.. c. Fraser Law was appointed tenn
porary receiver for the firm of Bradley,
Mercer & Co, proprietors of the Forest
City Furniture Company on Broughton
street, by Judge Falligant in the superior
court yesterday.
The appointment was made by Judge
Falligant early in the morning, on the
petition of Mr.. Thaddeus S. Mercer, a
member of the firm, who alleges gross
mismanagement of the finances of the firm
by George 1. Bradley. Mr.. MERGERS petit
ton states that on Aug. 25 Isle formed
a copartnership with Thomas r. V. Brad
ley of Savannah and George I. Bradley
of Effingham county. The first named
was already in the furniture business,
as was Mr.. Mercer. The two stocks were
to be combined, and George 1. Mt2dley
was to add $1,O0O in cash to thew ital
of the concern.
The petition states that George l. Brad
ley had the management of the finan ces,
Mr.. Mercer being engaged in the selling
department. He alleges that he found
that 800 which Bradley had stated that
he had put in as part of the capital
to be furnished by him was money h0r-
rowed on the firms note from the Mer-
chants National Bank, which had been
signed without his knowledge or consent,
and that when the note fell due it was
paid by Bradley out of the finances of
the firm, and the money was not charged
against either of the Bradleys.
The petition also alleges that Bradley
was indebted a certain sum of money to
]. n. McGillis, and that he had told Mr..
McGillis TO call at the store yesterday,
and he would settle the account with fur
niture, but cautioned him to say nothing
about the transaction. The petitioner fur
ther alleges that the business is in a state
of confusion, and that the conduct of
the defendants constitutes a fraud. The
value of the stock is estimated at 81, 900.
The hearing for a permanent receiver was
set for Dec. 20.

DIFFERENCES OF HIBERNIANs.
President O'ConnOr on the Union OF
the Warning Branches.

p. J. O'Connor,' Esq, returned yesterday
morning from Trenton. y. j., where he
went as national president of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, at the head Of a dele
CATION of the order to receive the decision
Of Bishop McFaul, who had been selected
as arbiter by the two warning branches of
the order, to decide the differences which
nave kept them apart since 1884.
AS has already been announced in the
Morning News dispatches the decision Of
Bishop McFaul was in favor of the Amer
lean order one of the main points of diff
ference being the insistence of the other
branch of the control of the board of Erin,
located in Ireland.
There were two main points of differ
ence," said Mr. O'Connor. The Ancient
Order of Hibernians, at the convention of
1884. decided to admit to membership any
person of Irish birth or descent by either
parent. The opposition demanded that no
person should be admitted to the order I'M
less both parents were Irish The opposi-
ton also desired that the control should
rest in the Board of Erin which is located
in Ireland, to which the majority would
not consent. Since then there have been
two organizations using the same name,
designated as the Board of Erin As the
result of the more liberal policy of the
American order we have grown from a
membership of 40,OO0 in 1884 to one of 120,-
0J0 at the present time. The opposition
does not exceed 500 members principally
located in New York and New Jersey.
While numerically small, the division was
the cause of considerable unp.easantness
and scandal in the order. My predecessor
devoted considerable effort to bringing
about a reunion of the two branches, but
without success. When elected national
president l announced that one of my
main objects would be TO heal the breach
and bring about a reunion of the two
branches. BY agreement between the two
branches all the points of difference were
submitted to Bishop McFaul as arbiter
This was done at Atlantic City in August.
The committees representing the two
branches were called together again last
week to receive the bishops decision, both
sides having previously bound themselves
to abide by it. The decision has been
ratified by the representatives of both
sides, and there will now be but one or
der, which win be the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in America -

DEFIED ARREST WITH A PISTOL.
Sandy Rogers to Answer Serious
Charges in Police Court.


Sandy Rogers, colored, was arrested by
Policeman Farrell yesterday and was
lodged in the police barracks on three
charges, one OF which was drawing a pis
toll on W. f. Gugel and creating dis
turbance at East Broad and Gwinnett
streets. There was considerable trouble
before Rogers was arrested, and for
awhile the affair gave some appearance
OF being repetition of the affair at the
st. James dispensary.
Gugel, in company with another man,
were passing when they saw an aged ne
gro man, named Sim Tillman, cursing and
abusing some children. on reaching the
scene, the two men stopped and tried to
pacify the negro, who seemed to have
been greatly provoked at something the
children had done and wanted to thrash
them. After they had been there sOms
minutes, Sandy Rogers appeared in a
drunken condition and listened to the cor
versation long enough to find out the trou-
bic. Having done this, he turned to Till
man and told him to go on and curse the
children IL he chose regardless of Gugel
and his friend. Naturally enough Gugel
resented this interruption, and after tell
ing the negro to keep quiet several times,
started for a policeman to have him ar
rested.
Seeing he was about to be arrested, the
negro started to run, but was pursued by
Gugel, who intended to take him in custo-
dy until an officer could be found. He ran
into lane nearby and came 10 a sudden
stop, at the same time pulling a pistol to
make ready for Gugel, who was close be-
hind. Into the lane Gugel pitched in an
instant, but only to be confronted by the
negro who stood with the pistol leVeled at
him and defied arrest. This was altogeth-
er unexpected by Gugel who turned and
walked aside, during which time the negro
sought refuge in store at East Broad
and Gwnnett streets.
Gugel got an electric car motorman to
keep an eye on the negro until he could
go for a policeman, which he did return
ing in a few moments with Policeman
Covert of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway force. At least 400 ne
groes had congregated at the corner and
were melting Rogers to hold his ground
and remain in the store. 1t is said the
officer was denied entrance, and did not
therefore, make the arrest, which was a
signal for laughter from the crowd.
The arrest was not made until Policeman
Farrell of the city force arrived and at once
took Rogers in custody and sent him TO the
barracks This dispersed the negroes and
no further trouble was had. Gugel went
on to the barracks however, and had both
Tillman and his wife arrested on the
charge of disorderly conduct and cursing.
They were arrested and taken to the bar
racks, and they viii be tried along with
Rogers in the police court this morning.
