The Opinion Written by Justice Walter Clark
Affairs Of the Bank Must be Turned
Over to the State IreaSufer's
Appoinee.

The disnute concerning the receiversnll
of the Piedmont Bank, at MorSantoh
was settled by the Supreme court yes
terday. The order of Judge RoDlnsoh
af December 11th, is in all respects AZ
6rmed.
The decision is against Walton, Whon
the creditors wanted, and in favor o
Cowles. to whom the State treasurer
wanted to give Job" But untortuh
ately the court could not take such mat

the law it was only a question OF PRIOR

Clark. saws that there is nothing III th'
act providing for the appointment o.
a receiver. which, by just construction
ives fbe Treasurer the exclusive rlSh
to institute proceedings for receiver
nor which takes away the right Oh an!
creditor. by a general creditors Dill, to
haoin an action for that purpose.
@The proceedings by Webb aud other
creditors, and that by the treasurer
was equally authorized by statute. Inc
only inquiry therefore is as to which CD
tanned the priority, for only one pro
seeding for the purpose can be tolerateu'
and in determining the question OF prior
-, in sucb cases the court will take no.
tice of fractions of days.
The summons in the proceeding lnsti-

BATHROOMS THAT COST.

Fine Marbles.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The gold-plated, marble-lined bathroom
which is to be such feature of Claus
spreckels' new house has created a great
deal of stir in San Francisco and elsewhere.
Some of the New York plumbers wonder
why.
Maybe gold-plated fixtures have just
got to San Francisco" said one of them
the other day, but 1t isn't anything to
make such a hullabaloo about. We've
been putting them in for the last ten years
Are they common? Well, hardly! But
there are bathrooms with gold fittings here
in New York. AS for silver, that's too
common now to attract attention"
In spite Of the naughty plumbers declar-
alton, it may be that common. every day
people who are glad to paint their tin
bathtubs white and put linoleum on the
floor just so they have bathroom at all,
viii be interested in the magnificent pro-
visions which the rich make for cleanI-
ness. 1t would be invidious to mention
names. Therefore, 1t may be stated that
a certain wealthy man living in Fifth
avenue, abreast of Central Park is said
New York city. He has a large house.
but the casual passerby would be surpris-
ed to know that 1t contains ten bathrooms.
They are all elaborate enough, but It is the
master of the house who has the finest one.
The floor of the room Is of the finest Car
rara marble. So are the walls up to a
hight of about five feet. Above that line
are plate-glass mirrors. The tub is an i'm
ported one Of porcelain and all the fittings
are of sterling silver. Even the elaborate
framework OF the shower bath is of silver
The owner of this house is building a
mansion in Newport, and the fitting up of
eight bathrooms is no Insignificant item of
the cost
The finest bathroom I'm New York Is that
OF Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Hers Is
the most beautiful OF the fifteen bath
rooms in the Vanderbilt house at Fifth
avenue and Fifty-seventh street. The
room itself Is about twelve by sixteen
feet, and Is absolutely perfect In the ap-
pointment The chief object Of beauty
In the furnishing is the tub. This tub
is about Ave feet In length, and is ut
from a solid piece of pure white Carrara
marble. The interior Is beautifully rol-
ished and the exterior is deliberately
carved. The whole thing was made IN
Italy, and brought to this country at an
expense which can only be guessed at by
people who are not In the habit Of bring
ing home marble masterpieces OF sculp-
ture for their bath tubs. The tub rests
on carved marble supports. The floor
Is paved with white tiles, and the walls
to the hight OF four or five feet are
wainscotted with white tiles exquisltely
decorated In gold. The remainder of the
wall space is covered with mirrors, and
a unique feature of the room Is the cell
ing. which IL also formed OF mirrors
