COSMOS COTTON GO.
 SUES THE 4. (. s.
ACTION IN THE UNITED STATES COURT GROWING OUT OF A BILL OF LADINc ISSUED TO SMITH 6 cOUGHLAN.

The Cosmos Cotton company, through it's attorney. John w. Tomlinson, filed suit yesterday in the United States court against the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company in regard to two hun dred bales of cotton, claiming that the defendant issued a bill of lading marked negotiable" to Smith & Coughlan for two shipments of cotton of one hundred bales each, to be delivered to the order of the shipper
 The complainant says in the suit that the one hundred bales of cotton were never received by the defendant. and claims the plaintiff paid a draft of $5,375.29, to which is attached said bill of lading and that plaintiffs are due that amount on account of the railroad issuing said bill of lading without actually getting the cotton described in the bill of lading. Plaintiff further claims that in regard to the other one hundred bales only half weight bales were received, and that the cotton described in the bill of lading in- stead of being one hundred whole bales weighing 52,061 pounds as described in the bill of ladlng, only weighed about half that amount. that is 265s1 pounds. Plain- tiffs claim damages for the failure to de- liver the full amount of cotton. described in the complaint.
 The case promises to be an interesting one, as number of bills of lading of the different railroads here were issued under similar circumstances The above is the first case, however that has been filed in court.

GEORGE CASE WAS CONTINUED 4 WEEK State Was Not Ready for Pre-
 liminary Hearing JOHN BIBB IN COURT ROOM No Part of the Money Stolen From the Union Passenger Ticket Office
 Has Been Recovered-5lbb
 In Handcuffs.
JOHN BlBB IN COURT ROOM

The case of w. S. George was called yesterday morning before Justice of the Peace l. H. Benners and continued until next Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
 George is on trial on a charge of bur glary and grand larceny on a warrant sworn out by J. Carter Bibb, a brother of John Bibb who has been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of robbing the safe at the Union ticket office.
 The only evidence against George is the statement of John Bibb that he did the work. George denies this and states that he Is ready for trial and always has been since the minute he was arrested. As soon as Bibb was brought back to Birmingham he made a statement which implicated George, and this statement was taken as the basis of the charge made by J. Carter Bibb.
 John Bibb was brought to the court room yesterday morning with a pair of handcuffs over his wrists. He was seated next to George, but they did not exchange a word Ticket Agent Jack w. Johnson and Bibb were the only witnesses against the accused who were in court.
 The case was continued at the request of Assistant Solicitor Hefiin, who stated that the state was not ready. When the state said not ready George turned to Justice Benners and asked why the state should not be ready when the defense was. He urged that the trial proceed so that he could get out of jail but Justice Benners explained that the state could ask for continuance as we'll as the de- fense, and that he would have to allow it.
 There Is still no trace of the $400O which Bibb promised to turn over if he were given a light sentence. The authorities have worked several clews to get the money, but they have never been able to get their hands on it. At the time he was arrested Bibb promised to give up the money if he was allowed to talk to his father and tell him who had 1t. The understanding was that Mir. Bibb should get the money and deliver 1t to the au- thorities without telling the name of the person from whom he got it.
 IL is not believed that the money will be secured. There Is considerable talk about it still, and the concensus of opin- ion is that the $4OOO has been divided up and will never be available. When George is placed on trial 1t is expected that he will produce some startling evidence which has never been brought out in any of the confessions.
