IMPORTANT POINT IS DECIDED Decision Was Eenderedi in New Orleans Yesterday Morning on the Garner Petition. An important feature of the Southern Mutual Building and Loan case was decided by judge Pardee of the United States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans yesterday. The case decided was the petition of Charles E.

Garner and others. of Florida who asked that a United States court re Ctlver be appointed to take charge otthe funds andassets In the hands of State Treasurer William J. Spear. The- case was decided by Judge Newman several months ago he decreeing that no receiver be appointed for the federal court. Garners attorneys.

Messrs. Tompkins Alston. were dissatisfied with the decision of Judge Newman and appealed the case front the district court to court of appeals at Sew Orleans. The consideration of the case has just been finished bythe appellate court and the decision announced. The apppHite court affirms the decision of Judge Newman In every particular.

Judge Pardee decided that the petition for a United States court receiver should not granted. He thought. like Judge New- man that the security assets of the de tunct association were in rood hands as ong as they remained with the state treas- urer. The decisionrendered by Judge Parties means that. Treasurer Speer will keep the funds in his possession.

The money and assets which he holds will amount to over 310000. The assets were placed In the hands of the Bt te treasurer when the association was organized in accordance with the law that requires that a certain proportion of the capital stock shall be deposited with the treasurer as security for the stockholders of the institution. Colonel Speer will keen the assets until the business of the association Is finally wound up. The defeat of the. effort of the Florida.

stockholders to have a federal receiver appointed will. It Is thought end the litigation In the cue of the Southern Mutual except in so far as relates to the collection of money due the association and legal suits necessary to the proper winfllng up of the business of the dead association. It Is hoped and believed by all concerned that the state court receivers will now wind up the affairs of the association with perfect harmony with sill stockholders. s.

Tfcen asinjmiCtion was obtained against the Western of Ala- barns and It was forbidden to' tettffere with th projected utengton of the Mobile and Ohio. It was rumored early last night that the Mobile and Ohio had 100 men ready to put to worksome tune during the night to lay the track. Before this force got to. the scene another large force was at dork putting in ft side track.

This was a. force of Louisville and Nashville men. That company had not. been enjoined and It wanted to get II. track on the disputed ground.

Officers went out to the work to stop It but they discovered that the Western or Alabama was not violating the injunction because it had no hand in this move. There were fully 150 men working for the Louisville and Nashville and they soon had rails down and then freight cars were run In on the new track until the Mobile and Ohio could not possibly get across. The Mobile and Ohio was outnumbered and outgeneraled. When the Injunction comes up In court a new light will be thrown on the case. The Western of Alabama's officials claim that they have some evidence which will prove conclusively that they own the right of way claimed.

FIRST OCEAN STEAMEU The Ocean Steamship Company Is Publishing Sonic Interesting History. Vice President Egan of the Central Is pushing the company's steamship line to th front as a passenger route between the south and New York. The people of the coast country are great patrons of th elegant steamers. but Mr. Egan thinks that If the people of.

the interior knw more about the pleasures of a sea voyage they would travel oftener by sea In going north and coming south. The Central is putting some Interesting. literature about this line and very appropriately Includes a tone picture of the first steamship which ever crossed the Atlantic ocean. That steamer sailed from Savannah just seventy-eight years ago this month. This ship was named the Savannah and when vita first appeared oft the Irish coast the people on shore thought that she was on tire because they saw clouds of smoke floating ay behind her.

They did not dream. that the ship was being propelled by steam because they had never seen a steamship before. Two cutters were sent out to the relief of the burning- vessel and there was a great sensation on shore when It was discovered that the strange eratt was all right. LELAND IS WON OVER.
