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.

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.

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.
