been such an avalanche of passionate
oratory as the senate listened to yes

army appropriation bill was under
discussion, the controversial questions
being the Spooner Philippine amend

was confined entirely to the demo.

exception. Both amendments were de-
nounced as vicious and pernicious leg

Washington, March 5.-One OF the
most notable occurrences in the his
tory Of congressional legislation
marked the closing hours Of the last
session OF the senate OF the Fifty
sixth congress. senator Carter, OF
Montana signalized MS retirement
from the senate after six years Of
brilliant service BY talking the river
and harbor bill to death. he occu-
pied the floor, c0nstructively, for
nearly 10 consecutive hours, although
in the aggregate about three hours
OF that time were devoted to other
business.
At 1l:4O o'clock Sunday night, after
the senate conferees on the river and
harbor bill had reported q disagree
ment, Senator Carter began his
speech. Apparently in a facetious
vein he began his attack upon the
measure, denouncing It as vicious and
pernicious legislation, nnwarranted by
conditions and unsound in principle.
Shortly before eight o'clock Senator
Allison submitted further Disagree
mept on the sundry civil bill the
item in contention being the appro-
priation for the three expositions,
From this the senate receded and

final appeal to the senate to save the
Charleston item, but he realized that
the Missouri senator's were more
powerful than he. BY q vote of 3s to
10 the senate receded from the
Charleston appropriation and the bill
was passed.
Senator Carter resumed his speech.

CREDITORS CHARGE FRAUD.
Aliege Young & Co. Has Concealed
Assets From Movers i'm Bankruptcy.

AlIege Young & Co. Has Concealed
Sensational charges have been made
by the plaintiffs in the action in bank
ruptcy against ]. w. Young & Co. of
Poulan, Ga. An ancillary petition has
been filed in the United States Court
here, and a temporary receiver for the
bankrupt firm has been named by Ref
cree j. d. Harrell at cambridge. The
petition is sworn to by a representa-
tive of the firm of Guggenheimer & Co.
of Lynchburg, Va.
The other moving creditors are the
Dunlap Hardware Company and Tiff
e. Peed. The hearing on the interest
ing showing made by the creditors will
take place in cambridge before Ref
cree Harrell on Sept. IA. At that time
it will be decided if the contentious of
the plaintiffs are true, and if James
F. Mann of Albany shall remain in
charge of the Poulan firms assets as
permanent receiver. 1t is charged that
Young & Co. has deliberately concealed
certain assets set forth in the petition
and sworn to by the Lynchburg firm.
1t is shown that Young & Co. COM
menced business on Oct. l, 1900, with
branch store at Sumner, in Worth
county. A large and extensive gen.
eral merchandise business was con-
Quoted and money was advanced to
farmers. 1t is alleged that before the
failure these operations were admitted
to be owned by the firm. 1t is shown
that on Aug. "a last Young & Co. sent
a circular letter to their creditors stat
ing that they were not able to pay
their debts as theysfell due. The let
ter set forth that the assets would
not pay the liabilities. The liabilities
were put at $4,000 and the assets at
SC, 800 including a stock valued at 4,-
300, and notes and accounts amounting
to $4,000 The circular showed that
Thomas B. Asberry the silent pa-rne-.
has no individual property and that
Young had about forty acres of un-
improved land, and a half undivided
interest in a lot of wild land.
The plaintiffs charge that in June
before the circular was sent out by
the firm to it's creditors, sworn state
ment was made to Guggenheimer &
! Co., placing the firms assets at SS,3O5.
In addition it was claimed that AS
berry had 400 acres of land at Poulan
and land at Valdosta. The plaintiffs
aver that it was claimed at that time
that Young owned 600 acres of unen-
numbered land. 1t is charged that in
four months the assets decreased S6,-
232. and the liabilities increased $500.
1t is charged that the assets have
been concealed for the purpose of him
dering, delaying and defrauding the
petitioners and other creditors. the
! temporary receiver was asked for i'm
mediately to take charge of the firm
books. and prevent the diversion OF
the assets, and to collect the indebted
ness. In signing the order naming a
temporary receiver Referee Harrell re-
strained Young & Co., from transferring
or conveying any of the property I'M
| til the case has been passed on at a
regular hearing. The receiver was re-
quired to furnish bail in the sum OF
S5 600. and the petitioners in the sum
of $4,000. Erwin & Galloway, and w.
w. Bacon appear for the moving cred
itors.
