Before Judge Emory Speer of the United

by MIR. NJ. ]. Dady of New York against
the voting trustees of the Georgia and

Others, TO prevent their carrying out the
scheme of consolidating with the Florida
Central and Peniusular and the Seaboard

the Florida Central and Peninsular, who

for Macon to represent their lines at the

Mr.. w. w. Mackall of general counsel
for the Georgia and Alabama said yester-
day that he had no fears of the result.
He is confident that the decision of the
Judge will be against the petitioner, He
regards the case as the weakest of the
several that have been brought to prevent
the consolida ton of the three lines.
Tt is Mr. Mackalls belief that the de-
feat of Mr.. Dady before Judge Speer. If
he should be defeated, will wind up the
opposition to the consolidation N so far
as it may be able to show its claws in
court. An amendment to a petition that
was turned down in Virginia by Judge
Waddill is now pending in his court but
President Williams and his associates are
expressing as great confidence as ever
that all obstacles to the consolidation Of
the properties will be removed
The fight before Judge Speer will be
watched with great interest The consoli-
dalton of the roads would mean much
for the business interests of Savannah. 1t
is the intention of the officials Of the sys-
tenn TO favor Savannah as a principal port
for exports, and it is currently believed
that the completion of the great terminal
plant that is in process of construction on
Hutchinson's Island will be speedily fol-
lowed by the establishment of a line Of
steamers with foreign ports.

and yesterday afternoon while in quarrel
with Moses the latter had advanced on
him with a piece of iron in one hand aud
in the other a knife which was unopened
When the boy came within reach he had
slapped the knife out of his hand and put
his foot on it. Later he had allowed the
boy to get the knife, but no sooner had
he done so than he had opened it, and
cursing Purvis started toward him in a
threatening manner When he came with
in reach Purvis struck him on the head
with a stick and the boy fell unconscious
to the ground with a fractured skull
Purvis did not realize{ that his blow had
been so heavy, and thinking that the boy
was only stunned, he got water and be-
gan 10 battle his face and head. Mean
time the other boy had told the story of
the fight to some of the colored laborers
on the place, and they gathered in such
large numbers and made such threats that
Purvis left the scene and started for the

Two negroes took hold of the fugitive and
told him that he would have 90 go back
