1t would be impossible to ascertain and
describe the many methods which have
been tried to solve the tramp problem.
So far as the writer knows, all, except
the Railway plan, have failed. And this
plan, owing to its Objectionable feature,
is not likely to find many advocates.
Indeed, Notwithstanding It's success, it
has already been abandoned by the au-
thorities of Railway themselves. The
Railway plan was suggested only when
the usual methods of arresting and fin

WILL NOT BE- SOLD IN A LUMP.
Court Passes some Orders In the
Chrintopher Gray Case.

The case Of the d. B. Clafin Company
against Christopher Gray & Son, and
others, was before the Superior Court
|'again yesterday.
The Morning News stated that an appn-
cation would be made to Judge Falligant
for permission 10 sell the stock in the
hands of the receiver in lump. Receiver
Max L. Byck made a report to the court,
in which he stated so far as the sale of
the Gray stock has gone, it has realized
$S,741.s9, This has been from the savan-
nah stock alone as the Augusta stock
has not yet been opened and offered 10 the
public.
on account of the fact that the sales
are falling off, and will continue to fall
off, except for the few days when the Au-
gusta stock is put on the counter, Mr..
Byck recommend that it would save ex-
pense, and, PERHAPS, met better results to
sell out the whole stock in a lump to the
highest bidder The plaintiff In the case
adopted his suggestion, and filed a petition
asking the court 10 pass an order in ac-
cordance therewith
Judge Falligant however, deemed 1t in
advisable to sell the stock in
lump at the present time
and directed the receiver to go on
with the sale until oct. "a, when he ex-
poets to be back in the city and take
the matter up. The receivers sale at
the Broughton street store will, therefore,
go on as heretofore.
Upon petition of James NJ. Gray, one of
the executors of the estate of Christopher
Gray, and who was also manager of tn,
store in Augusta Judge Falligant direct
ed the receiver to pay him SIS per month
for himself and family.

with a lien for rent, amounting to $500,
taken out by Messrs, J. II. NJ. Clinch and
7. Nj. Cunningham who represent the
estate of JACOB Waldburg, Judge Falli-
CANT ordered the amount paid by the re-
ceiver.

that 1t would seem that the mastering out

done without its having to stop over at
Macon. Establishing camp is no child's

About 7:9O o'clock last night fire broke

was overturned after which the entire

NINE FAVOR COMMISSIONS.
But All Want Them More Subject to
Councils VIII.

Councils VIII.
Nine aldermen, all who are in the city
at present, have openly expressed them
selves as in favor of retaining the COM
missions, if they are made subject to the
control of the City Council. All of them
have decided, after nearly two years ex-
per.ence and observation that the COM
missions can be made of great value as a
part of the city government. All that they
desire is that they be made subordinate to
the Council as the body elected by the
people for the proper management of the
city's entire business.
Whether these views will prevail is not
yet known, but it Is to be presumed that
due consideration will be given to the opin-
ions of three-fourths of the aldermen. OF
the other Two aldermen, Mr.. Charlton is
absent from the city temporarily, and Mr..
O'Donnell has not been in the city for
some months Those who have outlined
their views for the public, as indicated,
are Aldermen Duncan, Owens, Krouskoff,
smith, Thomas, Guckenhemer Reid,
Davis and Well, the last two having been
seen yesterday.
