Councilman Hancock Takes Probe Into N. Y. Street Rail-
Up Matter With Trolley
Company.
A petition to the railroad commission,
asking that tha fares an the river car
line be reduced from 10 cents to 5
rente, Is being circulated among the
citizens who live along the route. At
last reports 87 had signed the.petition.
Councilman W. A. Hancock, of the
Seventh ward. In the meantime Is try
ing to get President Arkwright, of the
Georgia Railway arid Electric Compa
ny, voluntarily to reduce the rate. A
conference between the two has been
arranged for the near future.
Although the question Is beyond the
Jurisdiction of the city council, because
the line extends out of the city and
the fare to the city limits Is only
cents. President Arkwright states that
he Is willing to reduce the fare If It ts
possible it nil practicable. He says the
company Inst money until recently on
this line because the territory It trn
versed was so sparsely settled.
Councilman Hancock, on the other
hand, states that the citizens of Chat
tahoochee, Bolton and Riverside keep
the cars crowded all the time and seats
are at a premium. He states that the
reason why this section of the city was
not built up Is because of the fact that
the street cor faro Is double what It Is
lo the other suburbs about equidistant
from the center of the city.
The petition to the railroad commis
sion. It Is understood, will be held up

New York. Oct. 3.—What became of
the 1217,000 of Metropolitan atreet rail
way money which Lemuel Qutgg con
fesses was paid to him In four years?
So far baffled In their efforts to get
to the bottom of the mystery, the pub
lie service commission will adopt new
methods today and demand to know
what became of the voucheri. More
than 380.000 which Mr. Qulgg aayg
was expended for "construction work
on public opinion” Is so far unaccount,
ed for.
He made the astonishing admission
that prominent New Yorkers were kept
on the company's pay roll to fight Im
provements on opposition lines, and
confessed the existence of a giant "yel
low dog" fund, but who proflted by It Is
the feature the witness Is endeavoring
to shroud In mystery.

MISS GLADYS MOORE VANDERBILT.
She ta of age and has come in absolute possession of her fortune of
$12300,000.
New York. Oct. 3.—Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt officially announced today
the engagement of her daughter. Gla
dys. one of .the richest young heiresses
In all America, to Count I.oazlo Sze-
cheny. a poor nobleman of Budapest,
who Is a guest of the young woman’s
mother at Newport.
Miss Vanderbilt has been known for
several years as the “American
Sphinx.” for notwithstanding she had
been reported engiged many times,
she would neither deny nor conflrm the
rumors^
The continuation of the rumor, which
had been given little or no credence,
will cause great astonishment In the
social centers of the world, for Miss
Vanderbilt, who Inherited 312,500,000
upon the death of her father, has been
the goal of fortune hunters throughout
every state In the Union, -as well aa
every foreign province In the world.
.Since her father's death.her fortune
has Increased to at least 315,000,000.
She had been at various times report
ed engaged to young Robert Walton
Goclet, himself worth more than 15,000,-
000, ns well as to the sons of other
prominent and socially eminent Amerl
cans of aristocratic blood, and half
score of British noblemen.
And In the man she has selected
aid In the spending of the great Van
derbllt fortune the family has won lit'
tie except association with Szechenya,
who have been Identified with the po
litical fortunes of Austria-Hungary for
a century past.
The young count brings with him
little save the breeding of a gentle
man and the reputation of having once
fought a duel. An Interesting coinci
dence In connection with this was that
his antagonist was Aurel Bantonyl. who
Is being sued by his wlfs, the former
Mrs. Burke-Roche; for a divorce.
The count’s honor was upheld when
he shot Batonyl In the arm. As the
celebrated whip Is leaving the social
center as a practical outcaat, the latest
Importation suddenly becomes Its hero.
FORT GAINES MINISTER
CL A IMS MA RRITNG RE CORD
Now cornea another preacher who
has Rev. Dr. John E. White, of At
lanta, backed oft the boards when It
comes to a marrying record. This
latest record-breaker Is Rev. C. T.
Clark, of the Methodist church In Fort
Gaines, and In a letter to The Geor
gian he shows he has a record which
eclipses that of the popular Atlanta
minister.
"In 1902," says Mr. Clark, of Fort
Gaines, "the third year of my pastorate
In Columbus, I married seventy-nine
couples."
But Rev. Mr. Clark haa another rec
ord which sounds like a good one.
"In a country charge," he says, "prior
to my Columbua pastorate. I received
329 members In the church and bap
tlzed 115 babies.”
Interest in record-making of this
class was aroused by a story In The
Georgian some time ago telling of Df
White's having married forty-nine cou
pics during the year from September
15, 1908, to September II, 1907. The
story brought many replies from At
lanta preachers and preachers all over
the state, who showed other records
along thla line.
At the present Rev. Mr. Clark, of
Fort Gaines, seems to have the others
beaten to a standstill, both on mar
riages and on Infant baptisms.

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results Whan Coffee Drinking
is Abandoned.
It Is almost as hard for an old coffee
toper to quit the use ot coffee as It Is
for a whisky or tobacco (lend to break
off. except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum without any
feeling of a loss of the morning bever
age, for when Postum la well boiled and
served with cream, It la really better In
point of flavor than most of the coffee
served nowadays, and to the taste of
the connoisseur It Is like the flavor ot
fine, mild Java
A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee Is left off*and Postum used,
for the reason thst the poison to the
nerves—caffeine—has been discontin
ued and In Its place Is taken a liquid
food that contains the most powerful
elements of nourishment.
It la easy to make this lest and prove
these statements by changing from cof
fee to Postum. Read "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs. "There's-a Reason."
