When the ra’lirbad bcpmmlsalon's re
duced railroad fares go Into effect on
September-,?, If the railroads do not tie
things up In the courts, passengers will
save In railroad few© all the way from
1 cent to 21.50 or. more a trip. It a|l
depends on the length of the trip they
"’Sjha largest reduction that many
travelers will feel Is in the trip to .Chat
tanooga. where J1.21 will be saved, and
although the Southern' Is not- in the
same class as the Western and Atlantic,
It will be In the same class for this
Journey. The Southern, under the new-
ruling. is in Class C, and Is allowed to
charge 2 1-2 cent* a mile. But In tak
ing passengers to Chattanooga It In a
compet'torof the Western and Atlantic,
2-eent road, and to get any business
must cut the rate to that of the West
ern and Atlantic.
The same will be true with several
other railroads for some Journey*. Al
though the Georgia Northern railroad
Is placed In Class D and allowed to
charge 3 cents a mile, It must compete
with the Atlantic Coast Lin?, a 2 1-4
cent-road,- between Boston and Albany.
The Georgia Northern runs between
these two towns through Moultrie, and
while It .will have'a elnclnon local busi
ness. It must agree to carry passengers
from Boston to Albany for 2 1-2 cents a
mile, as the Atlantic Coast Line runs
between than two points, ,8q it
possible - for a. passenger desiring to
take only h partial journey over.this
rpad to get a rate less than 3 cents a
mile by buying a ticket at 2 1-4 cents a

Orchard Doggedly Sticks to
His Red Tale of
Murder.
Boise, Idaho, June 11.—Stove Adamtv
claimed by Harry Orchard .to have
been his pal In the assassinations of
men in the mining regions, says:
'I would rather die like a dog than
live like a skunk. I will not cqirobo-
rato Orchard. I was not hired bjr the
chiefs of the Western Federation of
Miners to murder anybody. The prose
cutors of Haywood, Mqyer nnd Pettl-
bone tried to prove that I killed Tyler,
but they did not do It, and they can't
fix that crime on me. I never killed
Tyler. When I went back on tho story
I told during the time I was held here
In' the penitentiary they started to
shove me through. They can do It, but
I won't be used to send anybody 'to the
gallows."
Orchard Converted.
Following a veiled Intimation on the
stand yesterday that he had been con
verted. Orchard today declared public
ly that he has “got religion."
Orchard claims since he has been a
prisoner It was his close study of the
tilble that encouraged him to confess
and not tho conchlng of Detective Mc-
Purtland, as alleged by tho attorneys
for the defense.
Many Witnesses Present.
Tho crnift TrmTirT* rrair nttm wftir
witnesses Bt each session of the Hu.v-
wood trial nnd ehcli train brings more
who aro to-testlfy for the state or do
fense.
This morning the ciross-examination
of Orchard wits resumed at the at
tempted'poisoning of"F. W. Bradley, at
San I'ra’iu'lsco, after the strychnlno
failed .to kill the family, and Orchard
began Ills dynamite plan.
•Did you take powder with you from
Denver?"y
"I had powder bought at the Judson
Powder Company on Market street, San
Francisco."
Orchard could not tell when lie
bought the powder or the man from
whom lie got It.
The defense has depositions from tho
Judson Powder people that Orchard
never bought powder there and that no'
ten-pound sale was ever made. The
only other place he had bought dyna
mite was at Salt Lake.
Orchard Used Gisnt Caps.
Taking up the making of the Bradley
bomb, Orchard said he thought he took
giant caps with him from Denver. In
this he corrected bis testimony of yes
terday, when he eald he took nothing
with him from Denver. He said he
bought sulphuric acid and potash at a
drug store, but could not tell where the
apothecary shop was located.
Orchard sold It was about a week or
ten days after the poison was put In
the milk that he placed the bomb at
Bradley's door.
When Richardson asked him who he
told about leaving the screw-eyed bomb
In the door at the San Francisco lodg
ing house, Orchard mentioned Sieve
Adams, Haywood, Moyer and Pettlbone,
but omitted to name McPartland.
The attorney asked him why he left
out McPartland and Borah Interrupted,
saying the witness was not asked to
name all the persons he had talked
with.
Lawyers In Spat.
The lawyers started a spat which
Judge Wood stopped Immediately.
Orchard went on to relate how he as
sembled the materials for the bomb,
and how when It was ready he went to
Bradley’s home at nlglit and fixed a
screw eye In the door nnd had no dif
ficulty In fastening a screw, eye In a
hardwood door. He cleared up the
room where he lodged and moved hi*
grip the night before he laid the bomb
on the door.-etep.
Orchard was called upon to explain
■bout the testimony brought out In the
Lynforth suit against.the San Francis
co Oas Company, and he said he had
been Informed on the. matter by Mc
Partland, Oovemor, Gooding and At
torney Hawley.
Finishing the Bradley affair, Orchard
eald'he returned to Denver. He does
not remember what name he gave at
the Belmont or.the lodging house's sit.
uatlon. He telephoned to Pettlbone and
he and Steve Adams came to his room
and they all talked over the Bradley
case.

rived In Atlanta last Thursday night on
her way from her home, in Bavaria,
Germany, to tho homo of her uncle, in
Meridian, Miss., she thought she wan at
the end of her long Journey and pro
ceeded to throw away her railroad
ticket. ' U/
Her ticket read to New Orleans, and
she thought she was In the Crescent
City. She could not be persuaded
otherwise and sat In the Terminal sta
tion waiting for her uncle, who was to
meet her.
In the meantime the uncle, Martin
Seeger, a prominent attorney of Merid
ian, awaited the arrival of his niece.
When she failed to arrive at the expect-,
ed time, Seeger became worried and
feared flho had been abducted or mur-
derad.
The strange mistake of the inexpe
rienced girl, who is unable to speak a
word of English, brought on complica
tion* that resulted In a “mystery."
Seegor communicated with Chief
Jennings, reporting that the girl had
mysteriously disappeared, and express
ing the opinion that she had met with
foul play. The entire police forpe waa
acquainted with the situation and dl-
ted to make a thorough search tow
her.
Police Make Search.
Seeger Informed the police that he
had received ft telegram, sent from
Atlanta on June 0. stating that Katha-
rlna would leave here Friday morning.
Thin telegram was signed “Dlangell*.”
The uncle said he knew of no on© by
this name and requested that the police
obtain all of the information possible,
concerning “Dlangells.” Although the
message stated the girl would leave
here Friday morning, she had failed to
reach Meridian.
Through the efforts of The Georgian
Tuesday, ''Dlangells’’ was found and
the "mystery” solved. The signer of
tho telegram was discovered In the per
son of D. Ar. Dlangells, a well-known
Greek and proprietor of the Central
Hotel, 67 West Mitchell street.
Dlangells speaks four different lan
guages, and Is frequently called on by
tho officials of the Terminal Station to
assist them In handling foreigners pass
ing through the station.
Finds Germah Friends.
After the girl had thrown away her
ticket Thursday night and while she
waited In the Terminal for her uncle,
thinking she wu* dn New Orleans. Dl-
angells was summoned and conversed
with her In German. He took her to
his. hojel, where she spent the night,
and next morning her case was re
ferred to Max Oppenheim, editor and
publisher of the Georgia Deutsche Zei-
tung, the local German newspaper. Mr.
and Mrs. Opp&nhelm cured for the girl
at their home and In the meantime no
tified her uncle of.her plight. The lat
ter promptly telegraphed sufficient
money for a ticket, and Monday night
Katharlna was started on her way to
Meridian. For fear she might again
throw away her ticket, Mr. and Mrs.
Oppenheim would not give It to her
until she was safe in the coach.
The “missing” girl will arrive in Me
ridian Tuesday afternoon, safe and
sound, but with a novel experience to
her credit. She Is going to Meridian to
make her future home with her uncle.
