$4,000 damages in a suit against a

1t is charged that the Republican
machine in Philadelphia plugged $4,000
illegal votes in the ballot boxes at the
late election. This is encouraging.
At the election in 1900 it took $4,000
fraudulent votes in Philadelphia to
save the country.

PEACH PROSPECTS FINE.
Mai. Ryals Says the Cold Spell Had
Good Eject.

Maj G. M. Ryals has returned from
trip to his peach farm in Worth
county, where he went to observe the
condition of the trees and get line
upon the prospects for fruit the com
ing season. He was greatly encour-
aged by what he saw.
Il consider that the prospects for
peaches are bright" Maj. Ryals said
to a representative of the Morning
News. "Of course it is early to make
predictions, but still good deal can
be told about peaches even now. The
trees nave a healthy look, and the
buds seem hardy.
The buds are formed in the fall,
and they remain dormant during the
winter waiting for the first touch
of spring weather to burst forth into
bloom. OF course. when this spring
weather makes itself apparent too
early in the season, the effect is tharm-
full. The blooms appear too soon, and
they are more than likely to be nfpped
by succeeding cold
THE continued spell of cold weather
through which we have just passed
helped the peach prospects. 1t had the
effect of preventing the trees from
blooming too early. There is every
chance, as will be admitted, for cold
weather before spring opens up for
good, yet l have seen the peach trees
in bloom as early as this. The longer
the blossoming is delayed by cold
weather, the greater are the chances
for the fruit being unaffected by

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Petition for Establishment of Route
to ThunderbOIt.

A numerously signed petition for the
establishment by the Postoffice De-
partment of a rural free delivery route,
designed to serve the people living in
the various saltwater suburbs of the
city, was sent yesterday to Represen-
tative Lester, at Washington.
The signatures to the petition were
secured by representatives of the
Morning News and include the names
of 100 or more heads of families living
along the line of contemplated route.
The project is to have the travelling
postoffice leave the city each morning
and follow the roads to Thun lerbolt,
College, Cattle Park Isle of Hope,
Bethesda, Montgomery and White
Bluff, thence returning to Savannah.
The petition will be presented by
Representative Lester as soon as prac-
ticable and If the customary proceed
ure is followed, as it doubtless will be,
a man will be sent here from the de-
partment to make an investigation Of
the feasibility and desirability of the
establishment of the route. Upon his
report whatever will be done will be
predicated.
The establishment of such route
would be source of very great con-
vepience to the people it is designed to
serve, who would have all the conven-
fences of a complete postolllce at heir
doors every day. From the wagon they
would be able to buy stamps, postal
cards, newspaper wrappers and money
orders, they could have their parcels
Iegistered-of course their mail would
be delivered and collected 1t is hoped
that the department will see fit to
establish the route asked

livery route to Monteith and the inter-

MUST PAY THE BONDS
CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS DE-
CIDEs AGAINST THE CENTRAL.
ITS GUARANTEE is UPHELD.
JUDGE sPEER's DECISION AFFIRM
ED ON EVERY POINT.

Case Arose on the intervention of
lima Railway Company and Rob-
ert s. Adams in the Old Central
Railroad Litigation - IntervenOrs
Were Holders of Bonds of Port
Royal and Augusta Railway,
which the Central Had Guaran-
teed-More Than 100000 Involved
in DecisiOn-Court Snys There Was
No Fraud I'm Reorganization.
The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has affirmed the decision of
Judge Speer upon the Intervention of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
Railway Company and Robert S.
Adams in the consolidated equity
causes popularity referred to as the
Central Railroad litigation.
The amount involved in this branch
of the case is SCI ,475.SS and the effect
of the decision will be to require the
payment of this sum of money by the
Central of Georgia Railway Company
to the present holders of the second
mortgage bonds of the Port Royal and
Augusta Railway Company.
Judge Speer rendered his decision in
the Circuit Court for this circuit last
year and the appeal to the Circuit
Court of Appeals at New Orleans was
then or socn afterwards taken. The in
tervenors were represented by Messrs.
Augustine T. Smythe and A. M. Lee
of Charleston, and by Mr.. Anton P.
Wright of Savannah, and the defend
ant by Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham
of this city.
The Circuit Court of Appeals, before
which the case was argued, consisted
of Circuit Judges Mccormick and
Shelby and District Judge Parlange
and the opinion of the court was de-
livered by Judge Parlange. 1t is d
sweeping Endorsement of the position of
the intervenors and of Judge ~Speer's
decision in the lower court.
The question at issue was largely on
the right of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company to guarantee the
bonds of another railroad company and
the court holds that this power was
held by the company and was properly
exercised.
The court refuses to sanction the in
timation that there was fraud con-
nected with the Thomas and Ryan re-
organization of the Central, quoting
with approval on this subject the de-
cision of Judge Speer. He said:
1--WE have not been able to discover
in this record any evidence of fraud
on the part of Thomas and Ryan,
which, if they were the present holders
would deny them payment for these
bends. We refrain from discussing the
alleged fraud in the reorganization of
the Central Railroad and Banking
Company of Georgia referred to by
counsel. Counsel on either side had
much to say about this suppositious
fraud and yet on both sides they pro-
tested there was no fraud. This dis
cussfon seems superfiuous and in view
of the mutual protestations not a little
mystifying and vague. Certainly moth
ing was said on this topic to affect
the right of the intervenors to have
their bonds paid from the unpledged
property set apart by the order of the
Circuit Court for creditors of the class
to which they belong"
The decision of the Circuit Court of
Appeals was rendered by Judge Par
lange Tuesday, and copies of the decis-
ion received by counsel in Savannah
yesterday morning.

OFF FOR CHARLESTON.
Twelve savannah Companies VIII
Swell the Parade To-day.

The Savannah military, or the
greater part of it left last night by the
Plant System for two days in Charles
ton. The hour of departure, II o'clock,
city time, for the first section of the
military special, and 1880 for the sec
end section, was too late for many
people to go to the depot to see the
soldiers off, and the inclemency of the
weather prevented some, who might
have ignored the lateness of the hour.
from bidding the boys good-by.
The six local companies of the First
Infantry occupied the cars of the first
section. These companies We're the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, the Savan
nah Cadets, the Irish Jasper Greens,
the German Volunteers, the Republican
Blues and the Emmett Rifles. The regi-
ment was commanded by Col. T. S.
Wylly. Jr., and, its ranks were full. The
expectations Of the officers were real
lied, and there was an average of quite
forty men to a company.
The companies assembled at the
Regimental Armory at 8: 80 o'clock, and
battalion and regimental formations
were made later. The march to the de
pot was to the music of the First Regi-
ment Band, which accompanied the
command on the trip and will partici-
pate in the parade that is to be held
this morning in Charleston.
Under command of Maj. w. w. Will
Hanson, the four companies of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards assembled at
their armory, whence they marched to
the depot in time to catch their train,
which left half an hour after that of
the regiment. With the Guards
were the Chatham Artillery, COM
manded by Capt. George P. Walker,
and the young Lawton Cadets, unde,
Capt. .Gustave Robertson.
Accompanying the military was Col.
j. H. Estill, who will be in the parade
as honorary aide on the staff of Gov.
McSweenev.

Cardinal Martinelli. papal legate at
Washington, will celebrate solemn
pontifical high mass in the Cathedral
of st. John the Baptist Easter, and
also will open the fair which is to be
held in the basement of the Cathedral
and which wfll be begun Easter Mon
day or Tuesday.
The Cardinal will come as the re-

his stay in the city will be the Bfsh-

the Carnidals visit will be the occa-
sion of the coming of any of the 9TH
er high dignitaries of the church in
this country, though, of course, it is
probable that the Cardinal will bring
with him some member or members Of
his household.
AT the mass that he will celebrate the
positions other than that OF chief cele-
brant will be taken by the local clergy.
Easter, of all the festivals of the eRo-
an Catholic Church, as nc Is in other
churches also, is the occasion of the
most elaborate music, and on this spe-
cial occasion extra efforts will be
made to give a fine programme. This
part OF the service is in charge of Mr..
Frank e. Rebarer, whose success in
this line in the past gives an assur-
ance of success on this occasion also.
Just when the Cardinal will arrive,
the length of his stay, and other de-
tails connected with his proposed visit
are not yet known, and probably will
not be definitely settled until within
a short time of Easter.
Cardinal Martinelli then Arch
bishop Martinelli, visited Sa-

just issued handsome book giving
valuable information relative to its

given OF the captains.

that the company has ever issued and
