A GREAT INVENTION. .
Atlanta cttlxena now have the op
portunity oC securing in thetr own city
the most.wonderful Idea of lighting by
gas In the shape of an "Inverted” light
(Just recently , patented), which Is at
tached to ordinary fixtures.
It Is being demonstrated and aold at
the Kent XJgbt Mouse In their n*.w
quarters. In the Y. M. C. A. building.
North Pryor street.
Mr. A. II.. Kent, the originator , of
the Kent Light House here, Is well
known In' Atlanta and lias' devoted a
great deal of attention to the pew field
. of Incandescent gas lighting and Ima
‘developed a large business In the sale
‘of gas lights and supplies—always en
deavoring to furnish goods of the very
best quality.
He Is being assisted this season by
hie. brother,.H. W. Kent, who has had
years of experience In New York nnd
vicinity In this department of gsa
lighting and Is an expert on incan-
descent gas lights.
Any one Interested In Improved and
economical gas lighting should call at
the new store and see the window dis
play of lights from I to 7 p. in.
It appears that before he goea out
of office Mayor Woodward will be able
to scrape together enough cash to help
a good deal In paying oft that 810,000.
which he doesn't want to carry over
for Chief Joyner to settle when he
takes the mayor's chair.
After the decision of the supreme
court that the Vlrglnla-Carollna Chem
teal Company owed the county 818,-
000 on notes and accounts, and the
payment of this amount to the county
this week. Mayor Woodward decided
that the city had $25,000 coming trom
the same source and directed City
Tax investigator Sledge Collier to take
steps toward collecting the money.
And that Is not all. The mayor Is
going after other people, who owe the
city money for the same reason.
“A lot of people and corporations
only report for taxation such nots and
accounts as they are caught with,”
said hr, Thursday morning. Acting on
the decision of the courts that such
assets are the same as money, an ef
fort will be made to get the city's
share. „
Another source from which he ex
pects to derive sort* revenue for the
city Is on forfeitures on contractors'
bonds, as stated In The Georgian a
few days ago.
Oliver & Company, who have the
contract for the building of the north
approach to the Washington street
viaduct at $80,190, and Grant Wilkins,
who has the contract for the south ap
proach and the steel work over tile
railroad yards at $06,181), provide In
their bonds for the forfeiture of 850
per day for every day'e delay In tha
completion of their work after De
cember 1. ... . .
it is probable that they will not be
through by the date speclfled and
some cash will therefore come from
that source. In addition to this some
sewer contractors have fallen down on
their work and the city will proceed
against their bondsmen.
The city ha* already appropriated
$60,000 for the viaduct work, the rail
road Is responsible for $57,000, and the
mayor has agreed that If the finance
committee can rake together $19,$.o
for the payment of the rest of the
contract price he will agree to let go
over the remainder of the $40,000 his
administration owes.
It appears that with the additional
sources of. revenue mentioned above,
which were not counted on by the
committee, they will he able to meet
the demand of the chief executive of
the city without cramping-any'of the
department’s.
COURSE OF STUDIES
FOR THE HEW SCHOOLS
A heap big Injun with a.heap big lot
of Atlanta Are water aboard created a
lively scene at the fair grounds Wed
nesday night, the sequel being enacted
Thursday morning before Recorder
Broyles.
William Eagle Eye, an Apache, who
graduated several years ago from the
Carlisle Indian School and who is con
ducting a cane rack at the fair grounds.
Imbibed too freely of liquor and a a a
result went on the war path. Eagle
Eye was finally taken Into custody by
Policemen Hood and Covington, with
whom he had an exciting round.
The Indian became thoroughly
aroused when arrested, and. In resist
ing the officers, kicked Officer Hood
several times. The officer succeeded In
landing him In the fair grounds sta
tion. where he wat confined until
Thursday morning, when he waa trans
ferred to the city station.
On arrntgnment In police court tho
Red Man was fined $25.75. which pre
cipitated another scene. The decision
of the court made the Indian angry
and he did not hesitate to express him
self. He declared he had been treated
unfairly and asserted he Intended to
have the whole matter Investigated by
Governor .Terrell, Professor J. 8.

the United States government. He dla-
played his displeasure to such an ex
tent that Judge Broyles had to Anally
threaten to double his fine. *
An Educated Indian.
Eagle Eye appears highly educated
and made an Intelligent and straight
forward statement to the court. .He
said his home I* In Fort Thomas,, In
dian Territory, and that he Is a grad
uate of the Carlisle School, one of his
attainments being his ability to speak
six different languages. He also stated
that he played left field on the Carlisle
baseball team during the season of
1891.
Eagle Eye was also a great favorite
with Geranium, the celebrated Apache
chief, 'and for a long while acted aa his
Interpreter.
At the close of court Eagle Eye, In
relating his story, broke down and
wept, declaring he was a "gentleman”
and felt disgraced at being ronflned
behind the bars. He said he was
"broke" and had no money wkh Which
to pay his fine.
Judge Broyles directed that the de
tective department Investigate and as
certain who sold the Indian the liquor.
The sale of Intoxicants to an Indian Is
a violation of the Federal laws.

HELD LEG OF PRISONER
WHO LEAPED FROM TRAIN.
Special to The Ueorglnn.*
Valdosta. Ga., Oct. It.—The most
daring escape ever attempted by
prisoner In this section was effected
Tuesday night by a negro whom Sher
iff Prescott was taking from this city
back to Statenvllle. The negro Jumped
headforemost trom a window on a train
running at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
Sheriff Prescott was sitting next his
prisoner when the prisoner arose quick,
ly and plunged through the. window,
carrying part of the susli and blinds
with him. As he went out the sheriff
grabbed him by ono of his feet and held
to him tor a tea- momenta, but the
glass In the broken window was cut
ting his hands and he was forced to
let the nuftl drop. The train was backed
to the scene, the sheriff expecting to
find his prisoner's mangled body be
side the track. Instead, the only trace
of the negro was his hat and several
yards of tornup soil where he struck
the ground. Ife had recovered from
the fall In time to make hls-escape to
the woods. Track dogs were put on
the trail, but after running him for an
hour or more finally lost the track.
Findlay, Ohio, Oct It.—Much legal
argument and little actual progress
marked the second day of the trlnl
of the Standard Olr Company of Ohio
for "conspiracy against trade." The
argument was caused by the objection
of the attorneys for the Standard Oil
Company to the character of evidence
sought , to be placed before the Jury by
the prosecution... In every Instance,
however, the ruling of Judge Banker
favored the prosecution.
Testimony of John D. Rockefeller,
given In 1898 in the litigation against
the Standard OH trust, before the su
preme court'of the state, was admit
ted and carefully read to the jury.
Mrs. Ida M. Butts, the first witness
of the trial, was then called to the
stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the
step-daughter of the late George M,
Rice, an Independent oil refiner of Ma
rietta, Ohio, and waa the executrix of
his estate. She produced scrip show
ing title to fractional shares of the
stock In all the twenty subsidiary com
panies of the original trust.
