Atlanta Sept. 23.-The Standard Tele-
rbone psople won out to-day in the su-
reyior Court against the holders OF Donos
purchased from the former management
Aaessrs. Joe. James and Simon Baer.
Tho suit was brought by Joseph Gerzog'
who held three Of the hundred-dollar oohds
and receiver was asked for. Had this III

would have followed a flood of suits TO
collect the interest on the bonds in the
hands of other parties, amounting away
I'D In the thousands
The company claims that these ponuS
wore nut in the hands of third parties
without any consideration TO the company,
and therefore il is not liable for them Oh
these bonds $4,000 were issued IN the
names OF Messrs. James and Baer' ana
Col. Rutherford, the president oil the
Standard Telephone and Construction
Company. says the bonds do not show any

shere were in the treasury OF the com
many 1925 GOO in bonds and $1,000 IN the

teriously disappeared two days after the
contract was signed with the new people

President Rutherford says that In every
instance the disposition of the bonds mas
been traced TO Messrs. James and Baer
and that the consideration received there-
for was appropriated by them to the
building of their new cotton mills IN Doug
lasvilIe or on their personal accounts ana
that the company has not received one
cent consideration for the same, ana LOT
this reason they refused payment and the
test suit followed.
So far but very few of these bonds have
showed up. and the whereabouts OF the
great bulk of the $4,000 of bonds and
stock is still yelled in mystery

Col. Rutherford thinks that most OF the
trouble to which the company has been
subjected has been inspired directly or in
directly by the Southern Bell Telephone
Company.
The Standard Company has already re-
duced the price of telephone charges near
80 per cent, and as soon as it begins oper-
atfons there Is going to be cut rate war
between it and the Bell Company and
the aggrieved public is expecting to reap
benefits in more ways than one in nominal
charges, better service and a more ex-

City of Mexico, Sept. 23.- A sensational
robbery occurred yesterday in a suburb of
this city.
Guadalupe Vasquez, an old woman, s.
years of age, living with her widowed
daughter, was the victim. The women
were alone and employed no servants,
which is unusual in this country among
people having property.
Every one thought them exceedingly
poor. but this was only apparent, for they
had a great sum of money in the house,
there being kept in steel box $4,000 in
banks bills, the proceeds of the sale of
hacienda near this city. Besides this sum
there were many thousands of dollars kept
in the wardrobes, in stockings or between
the leaves of books.
In some way news that the women had
a great amount of money eot to the ears
of some men who came 10 the house, and
hired a large corral at its rear. for the
purpose. the cid woman says, of keeping
pigs. Their purpose was robbery as now
appears, and yesterday morning the moth
eF being alone in the house these men
came and on the pretense of having a
mes sage TO deliver, Were let in by the Old
woman whom they seized and bound with
ropes They then took the steel box with
the $50, 900 and decamped, but omitted TO
search for other money.
The women on being Intercepted by the
police, said they had heard that bank
c erks had been steaiog money ffom banks

Of nearly twelve miles an hour.
The yacht carried her club topsah
throughout the trial. although her lee rail
was often awash. During the first half
OF the course it took her nearly five min

Shamrock was dressed in main sail, the
large club topsail a balloon forestay-sah
and a small reaching jib-sail.
The wind had been slowly increasing
while preparations were being made and
was now somewhat stronger than twelve

had covered the whole leg at the rate of
1873 knots per hour. Those who have seen
the Columbia think she would hardly have
done better under the circumstances.
Returning home the Shamrock used only

used, for say twenty-five minutes, and it

10 Gov. Lowndes.
Baltimore, Sept. Ex-senator Wellington
has forwarded to Gov. LowGdes his reply
TO the letter received by him requesting
him to resign the craftsmanship Of the Re
publican state central committee.
The letter was sent from Cumberland,
and is addressed to Gov Lowndes at Bal
timore. 1t is as follows:
Hon Lloyd Lowndes. Baltimore. Nd
Sir: Your letter OF the Dist instant reach
ed me yesterday After your action il is
Impossible for the to serve as chairman Of
the Republican state central committee,
and l had intended in a legal way, with
due notice, TO convene the committee for
the purpose of rendering my resignation.
] understand, however, that yourself and
the other candidates on the state ticket
have taken time by the forelock, and in a
manner entirely unprecedented and ile-
gal, have called together the committee
for Monday, the 25h inst. While this is
unwarranted and unlawful I shall make
no objection to It, and hope no one else
will. Should there be present a quorum
at the meeting | will tender my resigna-
ton on Monday next.
Il write more in sorrow than in anger,
but above all, there is present with me
for you. mingled with some pity for your
weakness, immeasurabie and unutterable
contempt for your want of frankness and
truth. 1t will be unnecessary for me TO
say or do more, for at the polls in No
vember the people of the state will ed-
minister TO you such a rebuke as viii be
sufficient punishment for all that has
transpired Very truly

This communication sets at rest all spec
ulation as to the possibility of the sena-
tor weakening in the position which he
took after the meeting of the state central
committee, at which he severely criti-
oised the action Of Gov. Lowndes. He is
determined TO sever all relations with his
former friend the Governor.
Gov. Lowndes, who went 10 Cumberland
said when asked If he had any comment
to make of Senator Welingtons letter
said:
Il have not received the communication
which has been forwarded to Baltimore
AS far as l am concerned the incident Is

Judgment il should retain Mr.. Wellington

A GREAT

DISEASES HEREToFORE C0NSID-
Erred INCURABLE YIELD TO A
NEW TREATMENT.
Medicine Likely 40 More and More
Take the Place of Surgery,

No physician in America is betser known
than Dr. ]. Newton Hathaway. For
twenty years he has been regarded by his
profession generally as one of the few
leading specialists of the country and for
nearly ten years since he began PGofession-
al work in the South, he has enjoyed the
largest practice of any specialist in the
South, practice larger than THAI of all
other specialists combined. The reason for
DR.. Hathaways great success lies in his
ability to cure those diseased cond itions
which do not yield to the ordinary medi-
cines or to the treatment of the ordinary
physIcians.
