He can even do noble and onielflsh things. For some days prior to last Wednes day the big bottle of Llthia water uc- cuitomed to stand on his desk td tba left of the president was missing. Members floated up and after trying the faucet and finding a drouth, went awav. Brick Miller threatened to In troduce a resolution to require the sec retary to keep the necessary irrigating aubstance on hand. Thursday morning the bottle, filled to the bursting point with cool, limpid vjthlfl aqua, invited tho thirsty. By nay of pnrentheslR it is stated that the 'cue to the members wns held Wednes day afternoon. And the crowd about that fount of coolness all during thr* aesslon Thursday was about like a watermelon cutting in Darktown. Aul Secretary Northen smiled bcnlgnnnlly upon them, and now and then took a refreshing sip himself. Senator McHenry, with accustomed eloquence and vehemence, wns making the senate rafters ring In advocating his Western and Atlantic lease. The senate hung breathless on his every utterance. Then one of tho porters ripped fhe top off a crate of luscious peaches from the experiment station. The ubiqui tous pages moved on tho feast ns a unit. Some senator way to the rear caught sight of a big red-cheeked peach half burled in the eager mouth of a small boy. “Indian peaches, by gosh." he ejacu lated and mad© a rush. Others saw the precipitate frontal attack, and . watched curiously for the cause. They »;a\r, hesitated and foil. In a moment half the senate membership had moved to get some of the loot. In a few minutes more everybody was com placently munching fruit. After that, Senator McHenry's elo quence fell on deaf ears. The vote on the Williams bill to elect the railroad commissioners by the peo ple was on. The author's name Is tho last on tho roll call. Ho had spoken for the meas ure. fought for It, and asserted that It • was the crowning fifiory of his political career.” The call of senators on tho passage of the bill progressed to “Senator Williams.” No response. “Senator Williams,” in a tone hoard In the corridors.’ Deep silence answered. "Senator Williams,'’ rumbled tho call. Then Williams came out of his rev- ”Be It enacted that from and after this date that all Methodist preachers bo elected by the ‘dear people* without reference to past or present or future political affiliations.” Somebody facetiously drafted the nbove the other day, and sold he thought It a good Idea for the senate to pass it since the demand was to elect everything and body by tho peo pie. Senator Copelan says that the 'cue Wednesday didn't feaze him, but It ha a bad effect on his watch. He came In the senate chamber at ten minutes to eleven Thursday morning, and was sur prised to see everybody down to work. "What you feljows meeting before 10 o’( lock for?” ho asked. "Copelan, I’m surprised at you," said Senator Wheatley. "Our regular hour for meeting Is 10 o'clock and It Is now near 11. Ain't you over that barbecue' yet?” "It’s oil the fault of my watch. It played me a mean trick at an inop portune moment." The senate Isn’t talking any, but nevertheless It Isn’t passing any house bills except local measures, and most »»f the senators have a personal Inter est In such bills. And the lid’s going to rtay down until the house gets good and passes somo senate measures, they assert. speech Mr. Smith, of Greene, didn't. Possibly by Monday the members of tho house and senate will get over the effects of the barbecue. As a presiding officer Mr. Butts, of fJlynn is a howling success. It was ru mored around the house Friday that the gentleman from Brunswick hud been practicing for the job and had asked the speaker to give him one chance before the senslon It Is rumored that the military com mittee of the senate has a sub-rosa chapter In tho house. Mr. Hose, of Upson, has a son in tho house ns a page. He loBt the little fel- low at the barbecue tho other clay, but then the gentleman from Upson says he was trying to keep up with Madison Hell, and thoso who were with him. MERCHANTS KICK OFF SARATOGA LID By Private Leased Wire. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 4.—Somebody has kicked the lid off and some of tho gambling houses which were closed by order of Police Inspector King, are doing business today. According to the gossip of the sporting world the Saratoga Business Men's league rais ed such a storm over the closo clown of the gambling houses that Senator Brackett, who originally promulgated the anti-gambling order, was forced to rescind It. In tho meantime the sports and merchants are shaking each other by the hand in tho Joy of the big "do- Inga" ahead.

Now York, Aug. 4.—At the request of Kellogg and Robb, counsel for Greene and Gaynor. under conviction for embezslemen In connection with harbor Improvements at Savannah, Go., the attorney general of the United States has fixed September 27 aa the date for the examination by tho gov emment of Green© and Gaynor In their claims now pending against tho gov ernment in the court of claims. The examination will be held gt the prison In Macon, Ga., where Greene and Gay nor aro confined. * "This is the action," said Mr. Kel logg, "brought by the Atlantic Con tracting Company, under which name Greene and Gaynor did buslnr.**, against the government to recover damages for breach of the same con tracts which formed the basis of the charges on which they were recently convicted at Savannah. Our clients claim amounts to $350,000 actually earned and certified by the government officers In addition to over 9500,000 In profits on work remaining to done." LICENSE INSPECTORS ARE AFTER SOLICITORS License Inspectors Ewing and Hayes are hot after the real estate solicitors. In Atlanta there are many men in this business and only comparatively few have conformed to the ordinance which reads: "Heal estate solicitors connected with offices of licensed real estate agents and selling on commission, ■seb »10 annually." Inspector Ewing said Friday that cases would be made against any of the solicitors who refused to pay the license tax. By W. O. CLEMENT. Special to The Oaorglun. Rome, Gn., Aug. 4.—As a sequel to the report of the expert auditors, dis closing the alleged shortage of the lati Ilalsted Smith, former city clerk, ad ditional charges are made against W. R. Simmons, deputy marshal, and C. L. King, city sexton, who held office dur ing Smith's administration, alleging that they were also short In their ac counts. Since the publication of his alleged shortage, Simmons is said to lmvo cleared himself by producing receipts of moneys paid to Smith, which amounts were charged to him by the auditor's report. Always Took Vouchors. In speaking of the charges, Rlmmotis said: I never, all during ray term of of fice as deputy marshal, paid a cent Into the ciorlrs office Without taking a voucher for It, and as for the charges as to my shortage, I have receipts which speak for themselves." King Can Account for All. Former City Sexton King, in speak ing of the charges against him, said: "As to the report of my alleged shortage, I can account for every cent received-by me and paid over to the city clerk during my term of office. As to the feeH I am reported to hav# received for tho sale of lots and tho digging of graves and having not made proper returns, I will be able to dis prove. It has been the custom for ne groes to dig their own graves, at least. It was during my term of office. The records show* that during my adminis tration there w’ere 206 lots sold to no- groes at $4.10 per lot. In order to obtain a deed for them the money had to first be paid to tho city clerk." Auditor's Report. In J. Haltlwanger’s report to the mayor and city council ho says, In reference to tho books In the clerk’s office: We have had to deal with such ma terial as we could gather. In the clerk's office there Is no such entry as a collection of taxes not on digest. Every ono familiar with the collection of taxes knows that there Is quite n volume of money collected In this wav. This entire sum Is a total loss to the city. Had the stubs been obtainable ©vory dollar could have been easily traced. Back of this period (1894) there are not only no stubs, receipts and checks, hut there are no digests. The crude records attempted to be kept are not a perfect chain, many of tne books being missing." Mr. flaltlwnnger mipplements his re port with the statement that he can prove every dollar of the shortage named In his report. Bond Is Worthless. As several of tho original bondsmen of the late Ilalsted Smith are either dead or have loft the state, and as the latter bond given by the United Staten Fidelity and Guaranty Company In so hedged about with conditions, compe tent legal advisers of tho city maintain that there con bo no recovery from this surety. This being true. It moans that the total peculated sum shown by the aud itor’s report of $34,636.60 Is a total loss to the city, unless the municipal corporation can legally recover the amount of the valuation of tho Smith estate. What the voJue of this estato Is remains n problem, but it is supposed to bo far below the amount of tho al leged shortage. Insurance Money Held. The country residence of the late Ilalsted Smith was destroyed by flro thre© weeks ago, which was Insured for $4,850. The executors nro trying to collect this insurnneo, but the city asks the court to restrain them from doing so, which petition hns been tem porarily' granted. If tho city can col lect this Insurance it will bo that much toward tho recovery on the shortage. The city further alleges In Its po* tltlon for Injunction that a large por« tlon of the alleged shortage was used to pay premiums upon the Insurance on the life of tho lato Halsted Smith, and that In view of this fact, tho city is entitled to recover this insurance.
