THE CENTRAL MUST PAY.
Master in ChRncery Decides Inter
ventionS AEninst II.

ventons Against 1t.
George w. Owens, Esq, standing mas
ter in chancery in the Central Railroad
and Banking Company of Georgia Htiga-
ton, has filed in the United States Cir
cult Court his report in the matter of the
intervention of Robert S. Adams, and the
Charleston and Western Carolina Rail
road Company. He decides in favor of
the intervenors
The intervenors are holders of eighty
one $500 bonds of the Port Royal and
Augusta Railway Company, the payment
of which was guaranteed by the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of Geor-
gia. Judgments against Central Railroad
and Banking Company of Georgia have
been obtained by the bondholders in the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
Western District of South Carolina and
Mr.. Owens finds that the Central of Geor-
gia Railway Company is liable for the
payment of these judgments.
The report of the master shows that
there Is now in the registry of the courC
S266, 900, arising from the sale of property
of the old Central Railroad and Banking
Company, which is liable for the payment
of these judgments, in connection with
those obtained by other intervenors. This
fund accrued from the sales made by Mr..
w. r. Leaken, appointed by the court
for this purpose. After discussing the
questions of law and fact involved In the
Intervention, Mr. Owens says:
81 therefore find that the intervenor,
Robert S. Adams, is entitled to judgment
against the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company of Georgia and the Central
of Georgia Railway Company for the sum
of 81 900 and interest at 6 per cent. from
July l, 1892, and that the intervenor, the
Charleston and Western Carolina Rail-
road, is entitled to judgment against said
railroads for the sum of $685. 500 and inter-
est at per cent. from July l. 1892; that
the deficiency judgments held by the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
have been paid and extinguished and are
not entitled to any lien of any kind that
the judgments, amounting to $99,S29 80,
had against the Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia, have been
paid by the assignment to the Central of
Georgia Railway Company, which was OBJ
ligated to pay the same"
The intervenors are represented by
Capt A. ]. Smythe, of Charleston, and
Mr.. Anton P. Wright of Savannah, and
the defendants by Messrs. Lawton *
Cunningham.
Exceptions to the report of the master
will probably be filed by the defendants
and the case will then be presented 90

They represent the Synods of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Kentucky. Tennessee. Mis- sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
 After singing by the choir. Modera- tor Martin introduced Dr. B. N. Woods of Memphis. who delivered the opening sermon, which was a strong presenta- ton of the Bible doctrine of sin. The venerable Dr. G. W. Boggs of Holly Springs. Miss, was called upon to as- commissioner in the first General As- sembly in Augusta, Ga., in 1861. The business proceedings were preceded by
 
 Martin. The Stated Clerk, Rev. w. A. W. Alexander of Clarksville. Tenn. before calling the roll, announced that there had been no changes in the num- bers or designation of Presbyteries during the year.
 Dr. Woods Elected Moderator.
 The Moderator declared that nomina- tions for Moderator were in order. Dr. R. P. Kerr of Virginia nominated Dr. Neander Woods of Memphis. The nomination was seconded by Dr. F. R. Beattie of Louisville and Dr. Dobyns of Missouri. No other names were placed in nomination. and Dr. Woods was given the unusual honor of elec- ton by exclamation.

 Education of Ministers. |
 The Rev. Joseph H. Lumpkin, the secretary submitted a report on the subject of education for the ministry.
 There are enrolled this year 166 bene- ficiary candidates for the ministry who are pursuing their studies, eighty-four in theological seminaries and eighty two in colleges. The report showed that there has been a heavy decline in the number of candidates aided by the committee, and it dealt vigorously with this phase of the subject. Special emphasis was laid upon the character of those who should be received as candidates for the ministry. 1t being insisted that the preacher should be leader of men and that in order to do this, he must be a manly man thorough ly equipped for his work. The respon- sibility for the training of the ministry was placed upon the Presbytery pri- marily but the report insisted that in- stitutions of learning must bear with the Presbyteries the burden of this res-

WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
oBERLIN N. CARTER WILL
 MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT.
Decision Ordering the Return of the Gaynors and Green Back to Georgia Will Be
 Seized Upon.

Atlanta. Ga. May 1e.-R, w. Mo Claughey, warden of the Leavenworth prison, who was in Atlanta today, told reporter that he believed Oberlin M. Carter former captain of engineers. U. s. Army. would make another effort before the Supreme Court to secure his release on bail from the prison at Fort Leavenworth.
 "I understand said Major Me- Claughey. that Carter will base his application on the recent decision of Judge Brown ordering Greene and the Gaynors back to Savannah for trial. Carter was jointly indicted with them for conspiracy, and he claims that it is necessary for him to be there to stand trial and to furnish the neces- sary technical evidence in the case.
 His appeal from the decision of Judges Thayer and Hook denying him habeas corpus is still pending in the Supreme Court, but cannot be heard until next fall because the court is now taking a vacation. Neither can his second application for bail on these new grounds be heard before that time"
 Warden McClaughey was asked about the reports that Carter had to sit next to negroes at times in the dining hall.
 That is hardly correct" the warden replied. "Of course, when the prison CTS are at work, we can make no dis tinction. They must work side by side, irrespective of color or race. But no unnecessary indignity is put upon Car ter or any other white prisoner. There may be negroes and Indians in the din- ing room at the same lime with white prisoners, but they occupy one end of the hall while the white prisoners are in the other end. Neither are the races mixed in the cells. Where more than enc person occupies the same cell they are persons of the same race and col or. We have about 500 prisoners at Leavenworth." The warden contin- ued, "and of these about 15o are me- groes, while about 125 are Indians.
 Garter still thinks" he concluded, "that the people of Savannah are unanimous in their belief in his inno- cence."
 Warden McClaughey will leave to- morrow for Washington.
