NEW YORK. Dec. GA decision Of
far-reaching Importance i'm the cotton
bills of ladiug cases rendered by Su-
premc Court Justice Newburgor is be-
ing discussed among the large interests
involved, including cotton exporting
firms, bankers ana representatives or
big foreign mercantile houses.
The case is the first one growing

was apparcAtlv not realized by others
than the rafties Immediately involved
when the case WAS first decided last
Wednesday. the mercantile world now
seems to have awakened to the posi-
biiities involved in it.
The Judgment found by the court
was ono for $29 600 against the Han
over National bank in favor of the cot
ton exchange firm of Springs d Co.
The cause of the litigation was the blS

trated last spring in the name of two
firms, Knight, Yancey & 60. OF Dc
catur, Ala, and steele, Miller & CO.
OF C0rinth. Miss.
Drafts through New York banks were
negotiated with attached bills of lad
ing purportns to show that large
amounts Of cotton had been delivered
to railroads in Alabama for shipment
TO foreign purchasers.
BANK HELD RESPONSIBLE
II was subsequently decided the bills
Of lading were forged. 1t was claimed
i'm the Springs case, just decided, that
the Endorsement by the First National
bank of Decatur, Ala. which first dis
counted the draft, vested title in the
Hanover National bank of this city
and that when the Hanover National
bank collected the money it was con-
sidered to have warranted the genuine
ness Of the bill of lading attached to
the draft.
Justice NewburEer held that Springs
& Co. made payment to the Hanover
National bank through a mistaken be-
lief that the bill of lading was genuine
and hence that even though the bank
was an innocent party, Springs & Co.
was entitled to recover from the bank
when il WAS found the bill of lading
was forged.

FISH ARE MADE VERY CHEAP
Water Shortage Dries Reservoir, and
Many Flno Specimens Of Finny
Tribe Are Taken.

New Yolk.--Fish were cheap ano
plentiful at Sleepy Hollow during the
recent water famine at Tarrytown.
Small boys and thrifty men learned
that the muddle of murky water in
the bottom of the reservoir was full
of big fish-perfect whoppers-and
that to prevent their dying in the res
ervoir the water would be let out into
the brook below the dam. Then there
was a rush of persons with baskets.
BY the middle of the forenoon there
was an amazing scene. The fish had
ben let into the brook and the gush
of water had subsided, leaving them
in pools among the rocks. There was
fat German carp, 80 inches long; lazy
suckers nosing around the bottom,
bright-colored' perch, ugly, scrappy
old black bass, that fought for the
deeper spots, and eels that took their
time in sliding from hole to hole.
Men waded into the water bare
legged and caught the fish in their
hands, chasing them from rock to rock
and struggling with giant old eels that
must have seen Rip Van Wrinkle
poaching along the streams before he
went to sleep, and who might have
heard the thunder Of Ichabod's horses
hoofs ON the bridge below when the
Headless Horseman pursued him.
Some eels were nearly four feet long.
