The company de- sired to change Ite route, and the plain tiff* held that abandonment of the line would seriously harm the Interests of parties concerned.

DEMAND NOW MADE FOR INVESTIGATION Mr. Williams' 8pe*ch. Inmates of the home shall not be so Identified as to enable any attache of the home to know what fevldqnce is given by any partloila) Inmates. "Second, The trustees shall within twenty-four hours after the hearing give to the press and to me a copy of their findings. *%cannot and I hope the trustees will not make any charge against the state for services or expenses In this con nection. “Conditions Ac# a Disgracs." "In addition to tbo charges ipade, _ state here and beg to be put to the proof that the present condition of the home Is a disgrace to Georgia. It has been recently stated In the public print that they are given the beat of grocer ies. Butter served In the Institution yesterday was the vilest concoction ever called butter. It was absolutely unfit for a human being to eat. The syrup was no better. The clothing worn by the Inmates Is the cheapest stuff obtainable. Their sylts for sum mer and winter being two-piece suits of cottonade made by manufacturers of overalls. Jersey cows are kept on thd premises, but not one particle of genuine butter, nor a drop of milk ever reaches the veterans. "This Institution, Mr. Speaker, is filled with men, who by virtue of ser vices rendered have a first claim on Georgia’s bounty; its high, Its holy purpose reflects eternally honor upon the pure soul patriots who gave It be ing. He who can feed, vulture-like, on such an Inatltutlon must be vile In deed, but I charge It is being done now and beg to be put to the proof.” Committee’s Report. The annual committee report on the Boldlers' Home, presented to the senate Monday morning, was as follows: Mr. President—Your special commit tee appointed under resolution of the senate and house of representatives to investigate the sanitary condition and management of the Confederate Sol diers' Home of Georgia^ beg to submit the following report: 1. Your committee visited the home .on the 7th day of August, 180$, and found about ninety Inmates present, eight of these being In the hospital. Several soldiers not Included In this number were out on leaves of absence. The following officers were reportod to us as being in charge: Captain, R. L. Barry, superintendent; Joseph Whittle, lieutenant; W. B. Clements, clerk; J. M. Mills, first corporal; E. W. Hughes, second corporal: J. F. Brooks, third corporal; William DeJamett, fourth corporal: John L. Maddox, watchman; Mrs. John Maddox, matron; Mrs. Belle Reed, stewardess; Mrs. C. E. McDan iel, hospital nurse. 2. There are fifty-three living rooms. In the home building, all occupied. These rooms have only the ordinary fireplaces for burning coal for heating purposes. The building Is a two-story brick structure with thin walls, wRh no elevator accommodations, nor any means of escape from fire from the sec ond story. The hospital for the sick and Invalid soldiers Is kept on the soc- ond floor of the building. 2. We found the culinary department fairly clean and In good condition. We found the meats and other articles of food fairly well adapted. 4. The Closets nnd sewers we found In a bad and unwholesome condition —unclean and Insanitary. 6 We found the clothing furnished the soldiers for this season of the year well adapted to their need* and com fort. However, the winter suits shown us for the use were slightly too light for the comfort, especially of the ad vanced age of the most of the Inmates : the home. . Your committee begs |o recommend the following Improvements • to the board of trustees: 1. That an executive committee be appointed by said board, the majority of whom shall reside as near as practi cable to the home, whose duty general ly shsll be to exercise sn immediate management and control of the home and Ita Inmate* and report the condl- tlons of same annually to said general board In Writing, and who shall be clothed with such executive authority as Is necessary for an efficient dis charge of the practical management of th *Ve OI further recommend that semi annual reports, showing itemised state ments of all receipts and disburse ments. be made to the governor of the **i|*We recommend that the superin tendent be directed to Immediately pro ceed to have the closets and sewers of the home put In a clean and sanitary condition and that the weeds growing up around and near the building be cut away, and lime and other disinfectants scattered around the building. I We recommend that the hospital removed from the second story to me right-hand wing of the building from the front. This change we deem imperative, because the sick and Invalid Inmates kept as they are on the second story would be the helpless victims of a conflagration In case of fire, as they now have no means of escape from such contingencies. The need of a hospital with modern conveniences we deem very necessary because all of the old soldier Inmates II sooner or later, and that will not uo many years at best, have to go there. Respectfully submitted, ^ WALTER K STEED, Chairman Senate Committee. OH, CHARLES HURT HAS PASSED AWAY Prominent Physician Died Sunday Afternoon Af ter Long Illness.

I was still studying law, but had come home to spend the summer vacation with my parents. There was quite a crowd of young people who gathered In the house every evening, and It was always vsrjr late before we parted. One beautiful summer evening, when about a dosen of us ware sitting to gether, we began to talk of ghost sto ries, and several of the young men told the things which, they assured us, had happened to themselves. I remember that 1 boasted that I pos sessed an unusual faculty of being able to make the spirits In tbe other world appear and talk whenever I liked, and I stalled when I saw how the young girls shrunk back from ms In terror. . .... "Nothing Is more simple, I said, ‘and any one of you can do It. All you have to do Is to go all alone at midnight to the cemetery, over to the corner where the suicides are buried, and when you make a sign the spirits appear and tell you whatever you Mrant* Everybody laughed and said they did not believe It. .. . . "But the trouble Is,". I sold, "that you are too cowardly to try the thing yourselves, and yet I dare any one of you to do It." Little Ellae, the only daughter of our neighbor lookevf " ’ ’ at me with her dark "I do not believe In your stupid stories." she said, "and just because 1 do not believe In them, I am not afraid to go to that corner of the cem etery all alone at midnight." "Oh, It I* easy enough for any one to say so, but how will you prove af terward that you have really been there?" asked Henry, another young student. "I shall prove It to you,” cried El sie. "I will go there this very night, and I will take with me a knife, which I will stick Into the grave of the old shoemaker Ertmer, who killed himself last monti. You remember the one whose body was found In tho river. Hi* grave is tn the most lonesome cor ner of the cemetery, and that's why I’ll go there" I began to get a little uneasy. I had not thought that the joke should be carried out so far. and I tried In every way to persuade the girl from varying out her Intention, end wee DR. C. D. HURT. After an extended Illness nf more than eight months Dr. Charles Davis Hurt, one of Atlanta's most prominent physicians, died Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at bis residence on Delta Place, Inman Park.

Slmbor and W. B. Miller. TRY A WANT AD IN THE GEORGIAN joined by the other young men, hut It was no use; she Insisted on going. To make sure that nothing should happen to her, we young men decided to follow her at some distance and see what she did. and about 11:10 we bid In the bushes outside her patients' house, still hoping that she would not come. It was about 12:16 when we saw her _.«nd*r figure open the door and walk quickly In the direction of the ceme tery. We followed her at some distance, and saw how she hesitated a moment at the entrance to the cemetery, and with difficulty opened the heavy gsle and slipped Inside. Everything wss quite still for s while, and we sat outside because we were afraid she would discover us If we went too close or heard us com ing. We waited and walled and thought that now she must be bark, and then we would carry her In triumph to her house. .Suddenly a terrible cry rang out, which made the blood freese In our vein*. Then everything was quiet. For a few moment* we were too terri fied to move, but then we ran as fast as we could arross the remetery to ward the corner of the suicides. Kllse was lying unconscious serose the wrave of the shoemaker, and In her terror she had dug her fingers Into the sod. We tried to lift her up, but It seem ed as though Invisible hands held her, and because of the darkness, the moon having passed behind a cloud, we could not make out what It was. At last the moon came out again, and we could see what It' wss. In her hurry to stick the knife which was to be proof of her courage Into the ground, she bad stuck tt through the bottom of her skirt, and as she tried to rise. It held her down. The ter ror had caused her to faint, nnd she was still unconscious when we, car rying her In our arms, reached her house. The physician was called, but could not do anything, and a few days later she died. Since then I believe In ghost stories. 3,000 PERSONS ARE BE A TEN AND THROWN OFF TROLLEYS ON THE ROAD TO CONEY By Private Leased Wire. New York.
