RAILROADS WIN.
The Long and Short Haul Cases
Decided In Their Favor.

Louisville, KY, June 29-The
railroad commission has decided in
favor of the railroads IN the long
and short haul cases.
The decision is in effect that
wherever the maintenance of the
same rate for long and short hauls
operates so as to make itimpossible it
for Kentucky Industries and pro-
ducts to compete with those of other
States the railroads will be allowed
to maintain lower rates for the long
haul. The decision also exonerates
the Illinois Central from the opera
tion of the Court of Appeals ruling
so far as it applies to the Elizabeth
town cases. The decision of the
Court of Appeals upheld the long
and short haul regulations.

They all claimed to be Confederate Vet

this the answer is made that they are not

TO SELL ACCOUNTS.
Many Old Debts of Doubtful Charac-
ter to BE Sold.


An order was sgranted in the Superior
Court yesterday directing Mr.. C. Fraser
Law. receiver for August w. schwarz,
to sell the accounts of the firm now in
his hands.
The receivers petition upon which the
order was granted, states that he now has
no other property belonging TO the firm
left in his hands, with the exception of
the remainder interest of August w.
schwarz in the estate of Emil A. Schwarz,
OF which estate Louisa Schwarz is trus-
tee.
A schedule of the accounts is given, the
number being about $50, varying in amount
from less than 81 to several hundred dol
lars each. The receivers petition states
that these accounts are incollectable,
either because of the insolvency of por-
ton of the debtors or because of the
doubtful character of the claims against
the remainder. The total of the accounts
is several thousand dollars.
The order of the court directs the re-
ceiver to sell these accounts before the
court house door after advertising five
times in the Morning News.

PEOPLE WHO CHANGE NAMES.
Current Impression That 1t Requires
Some Action of the Court.

Ihere is a current impression that the
name man chances to be given by his
parents and the name of his father fol-
low him through life with a sort of mvstic
ATTACHMENT, that can only be severed by
the strong hand of the law. People gen
orally are of the opinion that to get rid
OF the name they bear some form of legal
procedure or an act OF the legislature of
the state is necessary. The error, for il is
an error, is almost universal.
The fact of the business is that a man
mas legal right TO change his name or
adopt a totally new one as often as he
thinks necessary or finds convenient. II
II pleases him or affords him amusement
or revenue he may indulge in half dozen
at time. The luxury is cheap and the
extent of its indulgence bounded only
by mans fancy or caprice. He may do
business under his own or any other name.
ne may leave property under several he
may marry wife under some name other
IMAM the one he customarily bears. and
IN none of bhese instances will he trans
sress or violate any principal of law OF
render himself liable TO punishment.
me Supreme Court of Indiana, in a re-
ported case, mas said that there is no rea-
son why a man should Use his patronv-
as ms given one, unless he so pleases, al
though, the court continues, the custom
OF doing so is almost universal in all Eng
llsh-speakIng countries that inherit the
common law. A man may name himself
ana rename himself as often as he pleases
to do So He may abandon his patronymic
and the name given him at birth and sub
stltute others in its stead.
The exception to the rule that man
may change his name at his pleasure is
that he must not do so with fraudulent
intent nor for the PURPOSE of deceiving
ana swindling another This restriction,
oil course, is but the application of uni
Yefsal rule of law that a man shall not
be guilty of deceit and applies equally to
all other false representations, knowingly
made. And this is about the only restric-
ton the law makes.
The laws of most states provide a Dro-
cedure by whfch a man may change his
name and have the fact admitted to rec
ord This is matter of convenience and
precaution, as otherwise there would pos
sibiy be some difficulty in establishing
the identity of the person. Compliance
with this form of law Is not compulsory.

to follow the provisions of the law on the
subject, but il is not essential to a legal
change, and may be disregarded at will

Band of the 161st.
President Max Krauss of Post A of the

on Col. Winfield T. Durbin of the One
Hundred and Sixty-frst Indiana Regiment
yesterday and extended an invitation to
him and the members of his staff in behalf
of the post to attend the big ball that

delighted to receive the invitation, and
he and the Indiana officers may be count
ed upon to attend.
Col Durbn made very fitting acknow-
ledgment of the courtesy of Mr.. Krauss
by rendering the services of the regimen
tai band for the occasion. The band of
the One Hundred and Sixty-frst. is one
of the best that has been 70 savannah
since the troops have been stationed here,
and Mr.. Krauss was pleased to accept the
kind offer Of the colonel.
The band will be used to render march
music for promenades and will play be-
tween dances. The post will have a good
orchestra present to render the dance mu-
sic The attendance of the band and the
presence of the officers of the One Hum
bred and Sixty-first Will make the ball a
military as We'll as drummers event,
and the number present will doubtless be
much larger than 1t would otherwise have
been.
The various committeeman are making
every effort to have the bail the biggest
event in the history Of the post and Il is
believed they will be successful. President
Krauss Is sparlng no pains in the interest
of the ball, and If those who attend do
not have a good time 1t will be through
no fault Of his or the gentlemen who are
working in conjunction with him.
