Discharged by Judge FaIIigant.
An order discharging the receiver APP
pointed by the court for the defendant. in
the equity CAB of Isabel Lathrop against
the Savannah Real Estate, Loan and
Building Company, was granted by Judge
Falligant yesterday.
The property of the company was sold
by the receiver to its successor in business
for, approximately, $4,000. The receivers
report, already filed, shows that this
money has been distributed to the credit
ors of the company in accordance with the
consent decree rendered by the court, at
the instance of all parties interested, at
the inception of the litigation. The re-
ceiver, Mr.. Henry II. Hull, exhibited doc

ried on by her, at 90 jefferson street, to-
gether with the fixtures stock in trade

band, Isaac Victor Jr. In her petition
asking the grant of this privilege, Mrs
Victor states that she is largely indebted
to her husband for advances made by him
for the purpose of permitting her to be-
gin and assisting her in the operation of
the business and that, by a transfer of
its stock and assets to him, she desires
to discharge some part of this indebted
ness. The proceeding is somewhat unu-

SHOT WITHOUT WARNING.
Two Sisters Badly Wounded by
James COrbetf and a Communion.

Matte Lane and Mamie Jenkins, two
negro girls, who claim to be sisters. were
painfully, though not seriously wounded
last night. The former was shot in the
right leg, while the latter, besides a SINH
lar wound. received a pistol ball in the
right arm, also. The murderous attempt
upon the lives of the two girls was COM
mitted by James Corbett and a companion
whom they did not recognize. and took
place in Wa.dburg lane, between Mont
gomeTy and West Broad streets.
The girls say that they had just entered
the lane and were leaning against the
stoop of the house in which they lived
when Corbett and his companion came up.
THEY did not have an opportunity to rec
ognize the letter, as almost Immediately
after the arrival of the two men the shoot
ing began.
According TO their story there was moth
ing bur the barest salutation or greeting
on either side. They saw Corbett draw a
revolver and begin firing, but they could
not see whether or not the other negro
did any of the shooting Before they had
time to understand what was happening
they had fallen to the ground. from the
intensity of the pain they were suffering,
and the men had escaped
The women's cries of pain drew a crowd
to the spot and DR.. Morrison was notified
of the shooting and responded. He saw
that il would be Impossible for him 10
dress the wounds in the house in which
he found them and directed that they be
removed to the Georgia Infrmary. The
police ambulance was summoned and this
was done. When Intercepted the women
could not. either through the pain they
were suffering or actual lack of knowledge,
ascribe any reason for the attempt upon
their lives that had been made or ex-
plain the happening in any manner.
The police responded promptly and
detail of detectives and patrolmen was as
signed to the case. To them the names
of both men are known and they expect
10 capture them during the day When
they are in custody and have told their
side of the story some perception of the
actual cause of the assault may be had.

About 1000 Bushels a Day.

About 5000 Bushels a Day.
The favorable weather is enabling rice
planters to gather the crops rapidly. The
work has been moving along rapidly for
the last two weeks, and with continued
favorable weather 1t will be but a short
time until the entire crop in Georgia and
South Carolina will have been harvested.
The receipts at Savannah are beginning
10 grow, the average now being
about 5000 bushels day. One
firm has received about 10000
bushels during the past three days, and
expects this large movement to continue
with favorable conditions until the entire
crop Is sent to market. While 1t cannot
be definitely told as yet what per cent.
of the crop Savannah will get, the figures
are variOusly estimated at from 100000 to
100000 bushels. 1t Is stated the crop in the
interior is considerably damaged, and
that the receipts from there this season
will not be as large as they were last
year.

THE OPINION ANALYZED,
No Vested Rights in Proper
ty of the Indian Nations.

The opinion of the supreme
court in. the citizenship cases il
thus summarized:
Ibid the act authorizing the ap.
peals restrict the supreme court Ia
the consideration Of constitutional
questions, excluding from consid-
Grafton questions of fact and ques.
tions of law other than constitu-
tional lawf The courts answer is
"Yes."
This limited the appeals to con-
stitutional questions, which are
decided as follows:
1. We're the appeals from the
Dawes commission to the district
Ccourts constitutional? Answer
Yes.
2. Are these district courts con-
stitutionsl courts? Answer-No;
they are only legislative courts.
3. Was the law authorizing the
appeals to the supreme court un-
constitutional because of an inva-
sion OF the federal judiciary by the
legislative? Answer-No. The
district courts are no part of the
federal judiciary.
4. Was that law unconstitu-
stional because the judgments had
become final before the law was
passed? Answer-No.
5. Was it unconstitutional be-
cause it disturbed vested rights2
IAnswer-No. Citizens have no
vested rights in the property of
the Indian nations.
6. Had the Dawes commission
And the district courts constitu-
fional jurisdiction of the citizen
ship cases? Answer-Yes.
] The decision practically makes
the judgments of the district courts
the final action in hundreds of
pther claims for citizenship in the
indian nations, besides those
passed upon. Justices White and
IcKenna dissented from the de-
sion.

The bankruptcy referee has
ruled that while improvements on
farms which bankrupt expects to
take as his allotment are not SUBJ
ject to his debts, that lots in incor-
porated towns are not exempt, be-
ing mixed if not entirely personal
property. The bankrupt has an
exemption Of $500, in addition to
his homestead.

The intruder decision fixes for
all time the constitutionality of
the Curtis bill. The district
courts of the Indian Territory are
not constitutional, but simply leg
islative, and yet these courts and
the Dawes commission have con.
stitutional jurisdiction of all citi-
zenship cases. So it is clear, that
whatever the district courts and
the Dawes commission have done
in the adjudication Of citizenship
cases, is constitutional and final.
The act authorizing appeals in cit
izenship cases to the supreme
court simply gave that court au-
thority to pass upon constitutional
questions and not upon jurisdic-
tional questions. Capital.

Photographic Experiment.

A most interesting experiment is
the transferring to paper of the nat
ural outline and tints of leaf, and,
though, strictly speaking, this is
not Photographic experiment, the
impression obtai..ed has the fidelity
of photograph. Take a piece Of
fine linen, free from starch, and
soak it in spirits of inter (saltpeter)
until it is thoroughly saturated with
the solution. Have ready a sheet of
drawing or other smooth paper and
place on it the leaves from which it
is desired to make impressions.
Place over them the piece of linen
wet with the inter, lay sheet of pa
per over the linen, put all between
two pieces of heavy cardboard and
put into letterpress or under
heavy weights for three or fo4r
days When removed from the
press, the leaves will be found
bleached perfectly white, while the
shape of the leaf in all its natural
colors will be found imprinted on
the paper. These leaf impressions
can be used in many ways for deco
rative purposes. - Harper's Round

CAUGHT ON A PIN HOOK.
One Of the Swift Boys Con-
fidenced out of SIS.

A pretty smooth scheme, though
| not q new one, was worked Oh I
mighty good fellow the other day,
but one withal who rather prides
himself on being "up to snuff. =
If the ICON" man had not told II
the matter would have remained .
dead secret, for our friend would
have suffered the loss Of several FIVE
dollar bills rather than the story
should get out. The schemer,
who had a silent partner, was
walking with our friend, when an
ordinary black-pin box, frequent
ly used as a stamp box, came into
play. The partner now joined the
other two and controversy arose
between the two strangers about
opening the box, resulting in an
offer to bet five dollars. Believ-
ing he was equal to all such tasks
the home man bet five dollars he
could open the box, but in the
shake-up of putting up the money
another box was substituted that
no one could open, without tools.
for it was made in one piece or
was soldered together on the in
side. Our friend dropped" in
moment and made "roar" about
having them arrested, thinking
thereby to run them off or keep
them silent, all of which they
knew he would not do. But the
story was too good to keep, even
by confidence men, and before
leaving the other night they gave
it away, on promise the victims
name be given, which promise will
be fulfilled-some time hence.

In the matter of the choice of
texts, curious thing happened to a
curate whom l knew on his return
from his wedding tour. He only
reached home on Saturday evening,
when he found letter from his
vicar asking him to preach the next
sermon, as he knew he had a SER
mon not yet preached in the parish
which would fit in with the Advent
course of sermons then being given.
The sermon was on the Parable of
the Ten Virgins" The curate, who
preached written sermons, did not
look at this particular one till the
next morning, half an h. II before
service, when to his horror he found
that his text was, Behold the bride
groom cometh," and indeed this was
the constant refrain of the sermon.
1t was too late to change, and SO he
put the best face he could upon it.
The congregation may have forgot
ten the sermon, but they have not
forgotten the text. Cornhill Maga-
zine.
