 City Attorney Brown found six law years arrayed against him to defend the fourteen accused. Ex-Judge Bly, denburgh, J. P. Goodhart, David Fitz- gerald, Philip Pond, 2d R. H. Tyner and Paul Russo each had part in the cases, and there was a lively contro- versy over the motion made by some of the lawyers for reduction of bonds in the cases. The bonds were finally fixed at $1,000.
 While the cases were under discus sion James E. O'Connor, attorney for the Retail Merchants' association, stat ed to the court that the association was willing to bear the expense incident to the attendance at court of any of the children of the accused persons, and after bonds had been fixed Dr. Gaynor was sent by the association to see if any of the children in jail with their mothers was ill., as had been reported.

YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
THE MILLION DOLLAR corr CASE WIIHDRIWN FROM THE DOCKET.

Attorney Discovers a Mistake in Bringing

 drawn-Bonds Fixed at $1,OO0 Each in
 Cases of Alleged Italian Thieves-Other
 Court Notes.
 The case of James B. Colt against Elizabeth Colt was dismissed from the docket in the United States court yes terday by Judge Townsend. The mo- tion to dismiss was made by James A. Blanchard of New York counsel for the plaintiff. He had concluded that he should have brought the suit in law in stead of in equity, and thus asked for the dismissal
 The action in court yesterday, 1t is said, means that the suit will not be revived, and that it is dismissed for good.
 The plaintiff in this case is a brother of Colonel Colt, who was the inventor of the Colt revolver and the founder of the big firearms company in Hartford,
 The defendant, Elizabeth Colt, is Col onel Colts widow The brother alleg- ed that he had not been given his due out of the business of the Colt compa- ny, and, notwithstanding that Colonel Colt died nearly thirty years ago, he brought suit to establish his claim. His suit was to recover $1, 100000.
 The counsel for the defendant have said that the plaintiff had no case and a day or two ago made a motion to have a day set for a hearing on a de- murrer, which it was hoped would ef- fectually dispose of the suit. The plaintiff had to pay $50 to have his case dismissed.

DR.. Emile c.. Hirsch stood before a

Christmas day and to consider 1t mere

greatest Jewish prosecutions IN his

said:

2. The middle country. This section
is more or less rolling, and is better
known as the sand hills section of the
State. It is the head of navigation OF
most OF the rivers, and contains the
most fertile lands and most beautiful
farms and orchards.
For the past FIVE years great deal
OF attention has been paid to the cul.
ture Of fruit. The peaches and berries
raised in this section command a
higher price in northern markets than
even California fruits. The industry
is growing, and the old cotton fields
are yielding more profitable crop.
Several nurseries have been planted,
and the home market is almost sup
piled by home people. This section Is
now called the home Of the peach.
The watermelon is also grown to per
lection, and is profitable crop. The
average yield per acre of cotton and
other field products IS greater than IN
the other sections OF the State, the
best farms yielding more than two
bales to the acre. Tobacco has become
the best paying crop iu this section,
and there are now 5000, 900 pounds
raised in the State.
The timber is principally long leaf
or Georgia pine on the rivers and cy-
press and juniper in the swamps. Inc
climate in this section is warmer than
the hill section, and may be called the
temperate zone of the State Oh mills,
! cotton factories and saw mills are the
principal Industries.
3. The low country, or coast sec,
ton, is the richest naturally, in the
State, bat, like all highly favored
countries, the people are less energetic
than those OF the middle Or up coun-
try. Col. 4. X. Mcclure, in writing
of this section, very truly said: There
is no other part of the south where so
little labor will produce so much.
In good portion OF this section the
soil will average seven feet in depth,
and is practically ineXhaustible. Veg
citation is usually checked for not
more than six weeks; seed time and
harvest occur in every month" l

markets. Olives, oranges, bananas,
figs and all tropical fruits may be had
here, with vegetables Dearly all the

crops of this section are the rice and

FLANAGAN A FiENO.
Two Old People and Girl Near
Atlanta Georgia.

ATLANTA, Dec, 31.-E1ward c..
Flanagan, an employe of the Stand
ard Oil company, attempted to exter-
inmate the Allen family at Poplar
Springs, Dekalb county, tonight, and
did kill three mem bers. His victims
were Dixon E. Allen and wife, an old
couple, both more than 20 years old,
and Miss Ruth Slack. Flanagan
seems to have been in love with Leila
Allen, the 11-yearold grand daughter
OF Dixon Allen.
The cid couples married son, G..

cottage four miles from the city linn

with them for six months. His &C

but he did not cause any alarm. It
was noticed though that he was anX-
iouS to get the members of the family
to leave the house. Late in the after
noon ne returned, and when supper
was announced he ate with the fami
ly. When he mad finished, he asked
Mrs. L. w. Allen to give him drink

Allen was shot through the -
twice and killed. Miss Slack was shot
through the back end mortally
wounded. Atthis moment the daugh-
ter-in-law who had gone for the wa
ter, returned and rushed into the
room, where she heard the firing.
She found that Flanagan was trying
to kill. Leila, her daughter. She
struck the pistol and then clinched
with tie murderer. Hestruggled and
she held to him until he had dragged
hef -crt of doors. There she, by al
most superhuman strength, threw him
to he ground. Flanagan fought
like mad man and tried his best to
shoot her. Size succeeded in keeping
him from doing so for minute or
more. By this time her husband had
recovered consciousness and he ran
out to his wife's rescue. Together
they were able to hold Flanagan
and disarm him. Mrs. Allen then
called for help, and when neighbors
arrived Allen was holding the mur-
derer on the ground. Flanagan was
bound with ropes and held until

Immediately hurried the prisoner off
and brought him into the city, where

Flanagan would not talk, except to
say that he was drunk. A bottle OF
whiskey and S535 were found in his
pockets. He had evidently prepared
himself for flight.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Dec. 3O.-The
steamer Dauntless, which the govern
ment has granted permission to clear
for Cuban port with cargo OF ammu
nitions of war, is not in port at pres

"wracking" trip, and may not return
for week. The Dauntless gave the
revenue cutters the slip yesterday, go
ing out OF the river from one of the
shallow channels, and this has aroused
the suspicion that the vessels again
on a filibustering trip. The owners
say the vessel will be formally cleared
for Cuba as soon as 1t shall return.
The Commodore has also been granted
,permission to clear with arms. and
