A Chance of Fraud and Wreck in It Made The Judge Asks the Lawyers) Home Questions The Case Postponed. Macon, Ga., March 16. In the Geor gia Central case in court here, when the hearing was postponed to March 21, Kountree and Perry nppearcd for Mrs. Clark. Maojr A. 0. Huron for himself and Charles N. Woodruff, and Marion Erwin for Hazzeltine, of Boston. Tem porary Receiver Alexander was present. Capt. Harry Jackson, assistant general counsel for the Richmond Terminal, and ludge R. F. Lyons, of the Macon division counsel, and Law ton and Cunningham, of Savannah, were also there to fight tin appointment of u receiver, as were Har den fit West, ot aavannali, representi.ijr. the minority stockholders of Savannah; Judde Pratt Adams, of Savannah, ami Tracy Baxton, of Macon, for the South western railroad; A. Minis, of Savannah, attorney tor several minority stockhold ers; S. G. Ilubigenon, for the Southern express company; I. B. Cunimintis, of Augusta, for the Georgia Central and Louisville and Nashville railroads; Jos esh Ganahl, for the Carolina railroad; K. II. Miller, also of Augusta, for the ( Augusta and- Savannah stockholders. Among the directors present were Geo. J. Mills, ol Savannah, and O.B. Ilarrold, of Americas, Cashier T. M. Cunning ham, ot the Central railroad bank, was uImi on hand. When the case was opened Mr. Racon read the oleadings on his intervention. The document was long and very inter esting, It charged contemplated irauil ami wrecking against the Richmond Ter minal and West l'oinl. The bill ended by asking lor the appointment of a per manent receiver j that the lease be declar ed null and void; that the ownership of li,000 shares held by the Richmond Ter minal be decided illegal; that the Rich mond Terminal be enjoined from voting those shares in any way; tha' those shares be taken possession of by the court and sold. At the conclusion ol the reading. Judge Sneer asked il the case was ready; but t lie defendants asked for more tune, claiming that the pleadings filed by Ba con made it necessary lor them to make a new answer. In continuing the case to March 21 Judge Speer said that it was very evident that neither side was ready and he urged the necessity for the filing of complete answers in order that the case may go to trial on that day He further stated that a letter in his hand from ludge Pardee, saving that he could not sit with lnm on t he 24-t h , wasa more potent reason with him lor the postponement. Judge Speer gave the lawyers sonic questions to answer. They were sub mitted for the consideration of both sides ami he asked them to be prepared on these questions when the case comes up on the 2-Hh. The questions are as follows: Is the lease absolutely void as charged and not merely voidable? It it should be held void, what disposition should be made by the cuurts of the corporate property in the hands of its temporary receiver? Would it be competent lor the court, before the final decree, to restore the property to the present board of di rectors of the Central, assuming, for the purpose of inquiry, that the board is legal and not illegal as charged in the bill, or would the election ot another board be a necessity? If the lease be void and not merely voidable, has theCentral railroad and banking company, of Geor gia, any security for the payment ot the dividends or for the sate keeping ol its money or for the preservation ol its property? And in case there Jbe no such necessity, would it becouipetenl for the court to exact adequate security lor the purposes mentioned with view to avoid the expense of a receiver anil would the lessees be willing and, if able, to give security to pay dividends and protect property as it is stipulated in the lease .' KHAKEK hv dynamitic. A Military Barracks Iu Paris Hum aired. Paris. March 1G. There is no doubt that the anarchists have a large quan tity wf dynamite that the police in their raids have not succeeded in capturing. Between 1 and i o clock this morning a terrific explosion occurred at London barracks, occupied by the republican guard, adjoining the hotel De Ville. The men sprang tor the doors and windows, thinking that any moment the walls would come toppling down upon them. The streets in the vicinity were soon filled with a crowd. The police soon learned that a dyna mite cartridge had been placed upon a window edirc of the mess room. Pieces ot the copper casing of the cartridge and the fuse were found and these explained the met hods the miscreants had employed to destroy the barracks in which, how ever, they lorluuatcly failed, liy tne greatest good luck the guards escaped without injury and the only harm done wan to the barracks and buildings in the vicinity.

How He Looks) to a Washington Correspondent. A Washington special to the New York World of the 14th contains this of inter est to many Ashevillians: "An interesting figure in Washington these days is ex-Senator Thomas Cling inan, of North Carolina, who was one of the most prominent men in congress at the time of the secession of the southern states. He went out of the senate with the secession of North Carolina, but he now liv 'S in Washington and avails himself of all the prerogatives of an ex senator. He is a daily visitor to both the house and senate, and spends most of his time upon the leather lounges in the cloak-rooms, talking in loud, strident tones to the younger members, of the grandeur of the old institutions and the degeneracy ol modern times. "He is eighty-three years'old and his hair and beard are as white as snow. He wears a long frock cont and soft thin ailed shoes, in which he moves about the cloakr-ooms like a veritable ghost of uepnrted times. He is a 'crank' on the subjtct of tobacco, which he declare.-, t panacea tor all ills. He claims to have discovered a method of preparing it which makes it an invaluable house hold remedy. The old fellow has a keen sense of humor, anil he caused a great deal ol amusement on a horse car the other dav by shouting to an nqtiaintnnce at the other end of the car: 'I have just heard that the widow of Stephen A. Douglass is in Washington, and 1 am going up lo call on her. 1 am a bachelor, you know, and in v visit ishkelv to make some talk in the town, but I am bound to see her no matter what the gossips say.' " HICK MOTHER IS IN JAIL. And a Little Ciirl Wanders Intollie City in Hearcll of Her. Last night a forlorn and ragged little girl, yet with a pleasing lace, was found wandering around near the Glen Rock. She was sent up town hv the hotel lieo- pie, and the police were telephoned to look alter her. Patrolmen Wild and Henry took the gil l off the cai and took her to the res taurant under Graves & llnashs old stand, where she was cared for. The girl was plied with questions as to her name and home, but nothing definite could be learned from her. She was a pitiable object, shivering from the cold, rind half crying. It was learned litter that the girl's mother is in the county jail for some offence committed in the I lonunv section, where she lived. It is Mipiiusen that the girl wandered oil from home in search of her mother. She will probably be sent to the almshouse or Children's home. HOTEL BEI.nU.MT, Something About nr.

A Voutiir White Boy Says That He Heard the Struggle, and Found Clota of Blood In a Cave Where the Body Was Dlsovered. Knoxville, March 16. D. W. Boyer alias Wash Boyer charged with the mur der of his father, David Boyer, in Cocke county was brought to Knoxville last night by Sheriff W. M. Allen, Deputy United States Marshall Robert Dennis and Justice R. L. Hiekey to escape mob vengeance. Mrs, Boyer as a witness at the iuquest said her husband left Sunday before the fourth Monday in November, 1891, say ing he was going to look after some stock in a meadow a few hundred yards from the residence. That was the last time she ever saw him alive. When he did not return that nightshe was uneasy :ind could not sleep. Once near midnight she thought she heard his footsteps com ing toward the house. The next morning Wash Boyer came to the house and told her that his father had decided to leave the country to escape an indictment for his attentions to osie Moore. She prepared a lot of clothing and food and put them in a valise which she gave to wash, wno said he would take them to his lather. She identified the valise taken from the cave with the body as the one she had given to her son to take to her husband. Wash left home and was gone two days. On his return he said he had accompanied his father as far as Morristown on his westward journey. A few days after her husband's disap pearance Wash came to her with a deed in his lavor for all the property ot the family. The document bore the name of David Boyer, and Wash asked her to sign it, saving that he had given bis father $1,000 iu cash to help him on his wav to the west and out of gratitude he had deeded him the properly. She declined to sign the deed until Wash had promised to care for her as long as she lived. Levi Holt,ayoung white boy who was employed on lloyer's farm at the time ol (he disappearance, told the sheritfa start ling story yesterday. He said the Sunday night that Boyer failed to come home he heard a shot in the direction of the cave in which the body was found. He heard Boyer plead ing for mercy. His supplications were followed by two more shots and then the groans of the dying man were heard. Monday morning he went to the place where he thought the shooting occurred and found evidences ot a strug file. Prom the spot where the fight took place to the moutli ol the cave was a trail as though a body had beeu drag ged. He went to the cave's entrance and on its jagged sides he found clots of blood and thought he could see a human form in the depths of the cavern. Holt spoke to Wash Hover about the shoot iug and the blood at the cave uud want ed to know what it meant. Boyer told Holt if he ever said anything about it to any one he would kill him. The threat had the effect ot causing Holt to keep his own counsel until Boyer was ia jail ud could do him no harm. NEW UATTLESHII'S.
