MANY ARE AT PARKS
HUNDREDS GO ON AFTERNOONS
 OUTING, DESPITE WEATHER.
No UnusuaI Attractions, But Good CrOwds Brave ChilIiness To spend Few Hours At Places
 Of Pleasure.

Without any unusual attractions at the parks, and despite the cold wea- ther, the attendance at Electric Park and Pickett Springs yesterday, was considerable. The statement of O. A. Neal. manager of the Electric Park amusements. was that the Park had drawn just four times as many pat rons yesterday afternoon as he had expected.
 Indeed. during one part of the after noon. there were fully 1000 persons at Electric Park, whither they had rid den either winterly clad or shivering. They did not remain late. however most of them departing with the first chill of approaching night
 It had been planned some time ago by MT. Neal. that there should be a sacred concert at Electric Park yes- terday afternoon, but at the last mo- ment it was found impossible to have the concert. and the manager reluc.- antly gave up the plan for the present at least.
 At Pickett Springs the number of wis., itors was not so large, but was, never. theless, sufficient to prove that tho park habit is strongly fixed in Mont gomery. During last evening. there was very little attendance at either of the parks.

WOULD SETTLE OLD CLAIM.
That Is The Advice Of Attorney Genera
 Garber Tn Opinion.


 Giving an opinion upon the settle ment of claim of the State more than fifty years old. Attorney General Alex NJ Garber has advised Governor Co., mer that until all the promssory notes given in payment for the tract of school lands in question have been paid. the State cannot issue a patent
 The amount due. after some W the notes had been paid was S3S.25. but the sum of balance of principal and interest accrued is now s1S642, or about $70 more than the whole of the original price asked by the State.
 The lands were purchased from the State on February 3, 1851, by John M Mechanism in Chiffon county He paid in parc cash and gave notes Tor the balance, two of the notes havin never been paid. W. w. shortridge who wishes to acquire possession of the lands. asked Governor Conner to have the matter of the title cleared.
 The Attorney General expressed the opinion that the remaining notes must be paid before the State can issue pat ent, but that the acceptance of the notes by the State was so conditional that the State might now be able to prove its own title. The Attorney Gen. eral advised settlement on reasonable terms of it could be effected.
 In his opinion Colonel Garber holds that the "fact that the parties may have acquired title by adverse posses sion good as against the State, does not entitle them to a patent as mat ter of law unless it Is further shown satisfactorily that the purchase money has been paid"
