PRACTICALLY BANKRUPT.
Decatur to Be Enjoned From Paying Out
 Money for Contracts.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Decatur, Sept. 14.-Notice has been served on the City of Decatur by John c. Eyster, attorney for the Eastern bondholders, that a mandamus will be filed within the next week enjoining the city from paying out any money on wa ter, light and other contracts until a portion of the accrued interest on S50,- 900 worth of bonds issued by the city about nine years ago has been paid.
 The part covered by the mandamus amounts to $6,300, and covers a period of two years, the total interest being about $24,000, and which has been de- faulted.
 Mr. Eyster said this afternoon that this would practically mean the bank ruptcy of the city and that complications would probably follow through which special legislation would be had, putting the city in the hands of a receiver, or making it a taxing district. The city's finances have been in bad shape for sev- eral years through msmanagement and only through the greatest leniency of creditors has it been kept out of bank ruptcy.

NEW IDEA IN STATIONERY.
The President of the french Republic InaGgu-
 fates New Msde.

Before President F'aure, of France, left for his visit to the czar of Russia he or dersd printed a lot of new stationery to be used on his journey. The paper is a very fine pearl-gray veEum, folded in the old-world French fashion. In the right-har1 corner of each page is en- graved the presidential flag. On the white portion of the banner are the ini- tials "F. F." carried out in gold, the handle of the banner also being in gilt. Produced at the top of these crests is the name of the fronclad in which the president traveled to Cronstadt. All this cara in his paper has caused good deal of comment among the royalists of France, who consider nothing too small to be taken into consideration w[hsn the republican rulers are in question.
 Paris is the home of novelty of any kind, and just at present it is showing some decidedly unique letter paper.

On some of the special designs made for lovers of the thaater are seen the miniature pie ture of some favorite actress, while feminine music lovers are having their expensive stationery marked with heads of the leading singers of the world.

ATLANTA IS NOW SHUT GFF 0FT Montgomery Refuses to Admit
 Her Citizens. THE SITUATION TANGLED People Object to the Presence of Dr. Sanders, as He Is Direct From the Yellow
 Fever Autopsy
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 14-Montgomery quarantined against Atlanta today, and permitted to enter this municipality. h. stead the Atlanta trains will stop at Riverside Park where Hhey will ex- change passengers with the Louisville and Nashville, and any southbound Louisville and Nashville trains having Atlanta passengers on them will be forced to pass through the city without stopping. This tangles up the railroad situation for Montgomery considerably.
 This action was taken by the quaran- tine board dlere because Atlanta had given out to the sufferers at Ocean Springs and othar infected places that her doors were open and all were in- vited to coms in. The board thought that it would be easy for a refugee from any of the infected places to go to At lanta and from there work back to this city to any oth5r place in this state they desired.
 I1I. CdlluSlS, SldlS lA-dlLn pliNti, iS III the city in conference with the local health board, and it is believed all is not smooth sailing in the conference. It is said on what seems to be good authority that the local health board is not willing to give up the entire management of the quarantine to Dr. Sanders except under certain conditions, among them that the present health officer of the city, Dr. Glenn Andrews. be retained as m lnager at this place.
 There is feeling of unrest on the part of some that Dr. Sanders. the state health officer, should come diract from an autopsy of yellow fever subject into a community which is now free from the disease, when he has given orders that no one be allowed to come into the state who has been ill any of the infect ed districts within the last twenty days
 On account of the light travel on the railroads coming into the city two trains on the Louisville and Nashville and one on the Western have been discontinued until the scare is over.

From The Argonaut.
 A Minneapolis man once invited friend to dine with him and neglected to telephone his wife to that effect. In or der to make matters worse both host and visitor stopped in at the club on the way home and consequently were late for dinner-very late. The dilatory hus- band undertook to explain his tardlness while dinner was being served, and put up a rather over-plausble defense in the line of business complications com- ing up at the very last moment before he should have left the office. The host ess heard him with ominous politeness, and then calmly said: Perhaps; but you really can't look me in the eye and tell that story NO, mo-" stammered the culprit; and then as a brilliant idea struck him, but I'll tell you what I will do; if John will kindly look you in the eye while repeat what said, prob ably we can make it go."
