Cartersvllle, Ga., May 25.—After a
chase covering a period of several
months, during which he eluded traps
cleverly set for hint by some of the
picked men from the Pinkerton Detec
tive Agency, and hundreds of other
officers who were planning his arrest,
R. I* Gamer, who is charged with em
bezzling $40,000 from the Southern Pa-
efle railroad, at New Orleans, yielded
to his love for wife and his baby boy,
and coming to this city gave the de
tectives the clew to his presence by
addressing paternal words of affection
to his child. After waiting for more
than two months in Cartersvllle, where
they shadowed his wife and child, who
were visiting relatives here, the Pink
erton men were rewarded for their
vigilance and faithfulness last night
by hearing a strange voice upon the
veranda or the home wher they knew
Garner's child to be, and later the
strange voice was heard to address the
child as “my son,” and with other en
dearing terms. The officers knew then
that the chase was ended, and retired
f<)r the night, after causing the house
to be surrounded so that the couple
could not escape. When Garner saw
that his escape had been cut off, and
that It m^bb impossible for him to again
elude the detectives, he caused his rel
ative, Will Bell, with whom he was
■topping, to parley with the officers
and his arrest was effected yesterday
afternoon at 4;30 o'clock.

that revernl debtors had taken the

History of Company.
The Firemen's Real Estate Invest
ment Company was organised more
than twelve years ago by members of
the lire department for their mutual
benefit. Shares were sold In the com-
pany at 12.5# each, and no sale was
made of less than four shares. Month
ly payments were mads In a set of
"series," nnd when one scries was
closed another began. During the
first four years’ series. It Is claimed
that a net profit of about 23 per cent
was realized and paid. The next four
years" series showed a net profit, It Is
claimed, of about 21 per cent. The last
series of four years, on which the
present Investigation Is being based, is
to have paid the principal to ev
ery stockholder, besides a dividend of
’ t" r cent on the four years’ Invest
ment.
It Is stated that at the does of the
last series It was decided to close the
affairs of the company and wind up tho
business. One reason given is that the
business was growing unwieldy.
It Is alleged by atockholdera of the
company that after the close of busi
ness they asked for a statement of
nnances and were unable to obtain n
satisfactory report. They became more
dissatisfied and after* some time em
ployed an attorney to act for them.
This resulted In the employment of an
expert to Inspect the book* of Secret*,

of the peace, he made no resistance to
the proceeding and seemed the least
concerned man In the (treat crowd that
had followed him to thb court house.
While awaiting the officers who were
to take him to Jnll, Garner was ap
proached by a reporter, and asked for a
statement, but he smilingly refused to
say a word concerning his flight, his
plans or the charges that had been
mnde against him. He did not deny,
however, that he was the man that was
being sought, and seemed disposed to
poke fun at the detectives, by telling
them that they had made a very poor
chase, nnd telling one of the Pinkerton
men that he had conversed with him
several times In regard to his own
(light, and that the ofllcsr had not
recognized him. This the officer smil
ingly admitted, saying he had spoken to
him at Rome, and did not then know
with whom he was talking. Asked how
long he had been in this section, Garner
replied, "I do not care to discuss my
flight. Ask’these detectives; there have
been twelve of them upon my trail and

Brown has been ill for aome time and

talking In an Incoherent way on this
subject almost constantly. Friday night
he decided he ought to be baptised, and
begged that a minister be summoned to
conduct the ceremony. He wae hu
mored, but the minister never came.
Finally, after brooding over his baptism
all night, the Insane man Saturday
morning leaped Into the well, probably
thinking Jie would baptise himself.
The presence of Garner In this city was
first suspected by the officers when Mrs.
Garner packed her trunk and sent It to
the depot, letting It be known that she |
wns going to Visit Atlanta. Upon learn
ing of her proposed visit, the detectives
surrwinded the house of her relatives
more closely, hoping to learn something
of Interest, and It was as the result of
this that they were rewarded by hear
ing Garner address hls'tlttle boy as "my
•on,” which brought about hi* arrest.
At a late hour last night It wo*
learned that Garner will not go with
the officers to New Orleans until he Is
forced to do so. He hae employed no
attorney.
Trunk Contained Papera.
The trunk which was being ahipped
to Atlanta, when Intercepted by the
detectives, was opened and found to he
filled with newepopera. It I* believed
by the detective* that the trunk wa*
being aent to throw them off of their

Georgia Cadets.
The battalion ot cadets from the Uni
versity of Oeorgla, under command of
Lieutenant Kimbrough, preeented
especially pleasing appearance. Their
soldierly bearing and the precision and
rapidity with which they executed or
ders elicited applause all along tho line
of march.
The Confederate veterans, marching
with halting step under worn and tat
tered Hags, which nearly a half century
ago they bore to victory and defeat,
constituted a long section of the parade.
The veterans were all anxious to pay
this last tribute to the memory of their
peerless leader and all who were able to
walk Joined In the line of march.
A striking contrast to these battle-
scarred heroes was presented by the
young hoys of the grammar schools,
who, with the battles of life yet to fight,
marched with light and buoyant step.
As they passed In review they were
cheered repeatedly by the old soldiers.
Upon reaching Mitchell street, the
parade turned east and at the comer of
