BACK FROM MOBILE
LEGISLATORS ENJOYED THE
 TRIP GREATLY.
Consensus of Opinion is That the
 Gulf City Mardi Gras Was Most Successful Occasion.

At an early hour yesterday morning the spe- cial train bearing nearly one hundred mem- bers of the Legislature, many of them with their wives. reached Montgomery from Mobile, where Monday and Tuesday were spent by them in the enjoyment of the Gulf City's Car nival.
 The return trip was made in more jubilant mood. If that were possible. than the down. ward journey Every member of the party was supremely happy, although many of the number were somewhat wearied as a result of the two days of recreation in which they had indulged.
 canvass of the party on the homeward journey disclosed the fact that Mobile had been voted the most hospitable of cities. and the Carnival was one to be remembered. The sentiment was general that the Gulf City had on this occasion outdone all previous efforts and that Mardi Gras in all Its features had been distinct success.
 There was no mishap or incident of any kind to mar the pleasure of the occasion. The trip to Mobile and back to Montgomery and the two days spent in Mobile. were one round of unqualified pleasure.

THE METHODIST CORPORATION.
Plans Considered for the Aid Of
 Superannuates.

Cincinnati, Feb 25-The trustees or the Methodist Episcopal Church, an ohio cor poration, that Is, the legal organization or Methodists all over the world, held their annual meeting here today. The only ao- sentees were Robert T. Miller of Cincin- natl and Norman W. Harris of Chicago.

This board holds in trust all donations, bequests, grants and funds conveyed to the M E. Church as such and administers the proceeds accord ing to the directions of the donors. The trustees today adopted plans for the aid or superannuates. The first plan Is for the benefit of conference claimants with prin- cipal irreducible; second, for the benefit of conference claimants after life estate, principal irreducible; third, for the bene- ht of specific objects after life estate, principal reducible. Correspondence relat- ing to these plans is to be addressed to tees at Cincinnati.
 Treasurer Johnson in his annual report showed $31300S held at present from twen- ty-three trusts and the income of sl6, ,tOS had been secured at an expense of less than one-half of one per cent. The in- come was disbursed to twenty-two benefi- charles. among them being the Missionary Society. the Cannon Theological Semi nary at Atlanta, Woman's Home Mis- sionary Society, Woinans Foreign Mis- sionary Society, Board of Church Exten- sion, missions in Africa and the Elizabeth Gamble Deaconesses' Home Association Of Cincinnati. which maintains Christ's Hospital.

VIRGINIA BOND CASE
FRAUDULENT ISSUE ON WHICH
 MONEY WAS OBTAINED.
Suit Brought by Ladenburg, Thal- mann 6 Co. Against New York National Bank Results
 in Q Mistrial.

, New York Feb. 25.-The suit brought by badenburg, Thalmann & Go. against the Importers and Traders National Bank ended tonight in dismissal of the case, the jury being unable to agree. The suit was brought to recover losses sustained through loans made on spurious bonds which the bank returned to a depositor who had secured loan on them. The case had been on trial for a week before Justice Dugro in Part X of the New York Supreme Court. The jury was out six hours and was said to have stood Il to 1 in favor of the defendants.
 The case is one of the most interesting of its kind that has come up in the Su- preme Court in years. In 1882 the State of Virginia ordered $3,0O0,O 900 worth of bonds from engravers in this city and on the receipt of them it was discovered that they were badly printed and they were rejected. They were returned by the Vir- gtnia government to the engravers.
 The engraVers, it was said, refused tc pay the expressage and they were solo at auction by the express company. There were 4s1 bonds and the Virginia authorl- ties were never able to get hold of all oi them to destroy them. To the bonds ob. tained at that auction were forged the signatures of the Virginia State officials.
 In September. 1899, Schroeder obtained loan of $S5,0 900 from the Importers and Traders Bank on s5O.O0O worth of Vir- ginia bonds. He stated, 1t Is alleged, that he obtained them by investment Last October he presented $45OOO worth of tho same bonds and asked a loan of $31, 800 or them. This lot he said he inherited.
 The contradictory statements of Schroe- der as to how he came to get hold of the bonds resulted in the bank making an in- vestigaton. They discovered that there was in existence an Issue of Virginia bonds that was worthless. They sent a number of bonds to bank in Richmond Va, and were informed that they were fraudulent. The bank refused make a fur ther loan to Schroeder and politely told him he would have to make good for the others. This he did.
 A short time afterwards Schroeder. af- ter getting the bonds back from the bank, took them to Ladenburg. Thalmann & Co, and got loan Of $40, 900 on them. When the bankers learned that they were worthless they made the discovery that the Importers and Traders National Bank had had them and had let them get back into circulation they brought suit against the bank to recover their losses.

 c. R. Bellamy, general manager of the street railways in Liverpool. spoke in favor of municipal ownership, ana in the course of his address said:
 Our American cousins are kindly offer ing us assistance in dealing with ques- tons of transport in London though the requirements in New York strike me as being much more pressing"
 In conclusion he said: "The municipali- zation of tramways in large towns can be carried out with perfect security to the great and lasting advantage of the whole community"
 Edward M. Shepard explained the meth cd that had been taken with the construc- tion of the Rapid Transit subway He said that those who criticize the leas- ing of the Rapid Transit road for fifty years must remember that until three years ago there was not a railroad or financier who would undertake to build the road. Today the profit in sight on the contract is $30, 1000 0OOO and believe 1t may be $50 OOOO, ,OOO."
