TVithln sixty days all express pack ares handled In this State are to bear a label marked "collect" or "paid." as tha case may be. and If collect the amount due. This is the order of the railroad commission, which the- expreaa officials have agreed to carry out. Th a order was issued In ; response to ,, much com plaint from all over the State against emplores of -the company collecting tulca for packages. The company's rules posted . in very fflee requires this to be done- anyway, , dui u nas been the-sad 'experience of many customers that not only Is this rule observed more often' in -the breach 'than in the compliance, but that d livery clerks have rot so bold that they attempt to collect on packages that are plainly mamed. At.-the request of" Solicitor - Tim merman Governor Ansel has ordered a finer la 1 term f court ; to be held at Iexinrton. beginning April 14th, for the purpose of. giving a speedy trial to the two Toland : negroes who so brutalTy murdered aged Mrs. Ellisor at "Brook land a few weeks ago.

AN ORDER FROM .PRITCIIARD. Complications continue to occur to still further complicate the dis pensary muddle. This morning Chairman Murray, of . the .winding tip commission, was served with ah order from Judjse Pritchard re quiring the commission to place in trust the claims recently ordered paid of Thlerman A Co. and the Bel roy Distilling Company, amounting to $60,000. until the matter of fees claimed by Attorneys Merrltt and Barnard for collecting "these claims can-be adjusted. But s this money had' already been deposited In the National Ltran and , Exchange . Bank here to the credit of the claimants themselves it was Impossible to com ply with the order. Attorney Gen eral Lyon is authority for the state ment that Attorney ' Lawrence Max well, who was here recently for 'these people, only last week col lected a fee of I3.S0O from the Bel roy people 'Information received here to-day Is to the effect that At torneys Mordecal and Carter, ort the tone side, and Attorneys Maxwell and , Carroll, on the other, have fallen out as to fees in several other cases, and a' similar order to the one served on Dr.- Murray is expected in their be half. It will likely meet the same fate, however, as the commission has placed - the money for these claims to the credit of the claimants themselves. Tie Attorney General's office was trying to figure out this morning how Attorney Lester, who - had such a sharp tilt with Attorney Mordecal before the commission here recently as to fe-s, has come out in the scramble.- The Atlanta lawyers and others affiliated with th Attorney General - are- also -."up . In the - air" about the $16,000 appropriated to pay them, being tied up by the order of Judge Pritchard. A COMPLICATED SITUATION. A warrant sent to the Palmetto Na tional Bank of this city by Chairman Murray to-day, to transfer the dis pensary deposits there .to the rival bank across the street.' the National Loan and Exchange, presumably for the purpose of paying some of the creditors whose claims have been adjusted, was refused payment by the Palmetto bank, on the ground that to comply with it would be to violate Judge Prltchard's order, which requires payment to the credit of the claimant or his authorised at torney. The severa'1 banks of the State holding three deposits were re quired at 'the time deposits were made with them to place securities nf' equal value with the State Treasurer, which may still further complicate the situation. Mr. D. K. Henderson, of Aiken, of the winding-up commission, to day sent a lengthy letter to Gov ernor Ansel tendering his rewlgnation as commissioner, which the Gov ernor accepted ' by. wire. Mr. Hen- (dtrson complimented all his fellow commissioners except Mr, Arthur, of I'nlon, regarding' whom he preserved an Impressive silence. J "THE ARTHUR MATTER." Chairman Murray, of the dis pensary winding-up commission, to night made public what is known as "the Arthur matter," which has caused so much talk over the State. The "matter" is a 15-page type written copy of testimony in which Mr. 11. F. Arthur, of Union, a mem ber of the commission, was a witness as to certain charges he made for expenses and per diem. The testi mony is practically the same as brought out In this corrspondence recently. . FLEET MILL ARRIVE TO-DAY.
