Special to The Tribune.
Atlanta, Gs., Dee. 26.—This morning
the attorney "general hid prepared a form
for bond to be given by the state deposi
tories who desire to increase the bond as .
provided by the last legislature. Under
that law the depositories have until the ,
second of January to pay any amount of 1
mon >y which they have over tne bond
they give. The Columbus bank has
paid to Treasurer Hardeman §IOO,OOO and
the rest, of cburse, will be forthcoming
on time. Four banks have given notice
o a desire to increase the present bond
and carry as mmh as §IOO,OOO of the 1
state’s money at one time. These are •
the Merchants bank of Atlanta, the La*
Grange bank and Trust Co., the Third
National bank of Columbus, and the
8 ivannah Bank and Trust Co. It is ex
pected that the Macon bank will also :
make such application but they heve not 1
done so as yet. Three of these banks
give

or how
the new
hold. Mr. Hopkins will
that matter himself.
“Fully half a million dollars was
added to the deficit when the last appro
priation bill was made up last March.
Much of the debt was incurred under
Mryor Creiger also. Money was spent
when there was some to spare and so it
has gone on until the crisis has come.
It is possible to pull through with credit,
but it can only be done by rigid econo
my, akin to penuriousness, and the
greatest care in handling city finances.”

* Foreigners Do Not Know What They Got
in Prizes.
Chicago. Dec. 25.—The dissatisfaction
of foreign commissioners with the treat
ment accorded them by the bureau of
awards of the World’s Fair does not
seem to diminish. Chairman Thatcher
sent to Chicago last week the list of
awards granted to foreign countries.
Secretary Dickinson had them conveyed
to the several commissioners. When
Henor de Lome, of Spain, received them
he receipted for the list, and in addition
wrote a letter to Mr. Dickinson,in which
he said, concerning the list:
The document is a worthless and useless
list of names copied from our records, and
is not the official statement the foreign
commissioners asked for and obtained a
-* promise from the executive committee to
receive. I hope it will be the last time I
shall hear from the awards. In fact, I will
be delighted if it is so. We will leave Chi
cago, all foreigners declaring that in the
matter of awards we have been deceived
mid ill treated, and that the exhibitors do
not know whether they are prize winners
or not, such a long time after all is fin
ished.
. FOR HIS FRIEND.
The Barcelona Bomb Thrower Tells Why
He Did the Deed.
Barcelona, Dec. 25.—Joseph E. Ce
dina, the anarchist who has already con
fessed that he threw the bomb that
caused upward of 30 deaths in the Liceo
theater, has made a further confession,
giving details of the crime. He says
that he was selected by an anarchist
group to assassinate General Martinez
do Campos in September last. He, in
company with two or three comrades,
went to view the march pass of the
/' troops, it being his intention to then as
isassinate General de Campos, who was
the reviewing officer.
' He took a position from which it
would have been an easy’ task to have
carried out his project, but when the
troqfis arrived his courage failed. The
reason for this, he says, was that he re
alized that if he threw a bomb amid the
vast crowd that surrounded General de
Campos he would have killed or wound
ed hundreds of persons. He had the
bomb ready to throw, but the thought
of the many innocent persons that would
suffer, restrained him from throw ng ii.
Pallas, as the time for the assass na ion
drew near, urged Cedina to throw the
Ixnnb. Seeing that Cedina hesitated,
Pallas angrily snatched the bomb from
him, saying, “You are no geo I.”
Pallas’s nerves were evidently un
strung by the wrangle, and for a time
he hesitated to throw the bomb that he
had seized. Had he thrown it, as he
originally intended, he would have killed
General de Campos, but the delay,which
allowed the crowd surging about the re
viewing stand to grow thicker, saved
the life of the general. Pallas, when
arrested and until his execution, insisted
that; he alone was responsible for the at
tempted assassination, and despite the
.close -questioning by the authorities, he
never by a word betrayed that Cedina or
any one else had anything to do with
The crime. It was this fact that made
kiirn the hero in tAe eyes of the anar
chists, who knew ail the facts.
His stoicism and willingness to accept
•death rather than to betray his comrade
Jed Cedina to detormine that fie would

When the ex-presideut concluded,
three cheers were again given for him.
Whitelaw Reid was then loudly called
for. He said, among other things, that
this was no time to discuss morals or
politics, and that he was here to do hon

ord ami faithful service while president
of the United States.
Ex-Senator Edmunds then spoke.
“Mr. Reid,” he said,” should have been
our vice-president at present, and if he
lives long enough he will be vice-presi
dent yet.”
Governor Pattison followed Mr. Ed
munds, and paid a very high tribute to
Mr. Harrison. He said that the ex
president was an honor to the long line
of chief executives of the nation, and did
great credit to the people who placed
him at the head of the nation’s affairs.

Hadn't Thought of the Presidency.
Pittsburg. Dec. 25.—Hon. Benjamin
Harrison was in the city for a short tima
en route from Philadelphia to his home
in Indianapolis. The ex-president cor
dially greeted the members of the press,
but all efforts to draw him *lnto a con
versation upon politics proved fruitless,
as he positively refused to be interviewed
on that subject, saying he was no longer
in public life. He, however, talked in
terestingly on other subjects.
General Harrison,when asked whtthe.-
he would be willing to again be n candi
date for the presidency, if called upon
bv the Republican party at the next
election; said he had not given the mat
ter a thought. :
tnai; Burglars were at work robbing
the place. The agent at once secured
the assistance of several men, and after
arming themselves they entered the
express office. Nothing was found dis
turbed except the Omaha box. It was
empty. The nd had been forced from
the box, and the contents were gone.
When the box was critically examined,
it was found that no instrument had
been used from the outside to loosen the
cover.
Upon the inside at one end was plain
ly to be seeu the print of a man’s feet.
The size of the box, the weight and the
footprints were sufficient to convince
the agent it had certainly contained a
human being, and that upon his arrival
at the end of the journey he simply
opened the box, walked over to the door,
unbolted it and disappeared.
There are many theories advanced as
to the purpose of the man in the box.
Some believe that arrangements were
on foot to rob the express company,
either on the train or at the Sheridan
office, while others think that the occu
pant of the box was an escaping crimi
nal.
In any event, he beat the railway
company out of half of a fare—for the
fare for a human being, alive or dead,
is $25.50. —Omaha World-Herald.

WORKING THE GUESTS.
A “Professional” Who »Wak»d Up the
Wrong Passenger.”
New York, Dec. 25.—Marshal Field,
the Chicago millionaire, created some
excitement Sunday night by kicking a
professional beggar out of the Waldorf
hotel. Mr. Field has been stopping at
the hotel for some time and had received
a note from a man who said his name
was Henry L. Spring, and that he had
known the wealthy Chicagoan in the
west.
Spring called on Moses P. Handy at
the Waldorf and got 50 cents from him.
On his way out he met a Mr. West, of
Chicago, nd threatened him with vio
lence if he did not “give up.” Mr.
Field, who had just entered the hotel
corridor, half kicked and half threw the
man into the street. The-" hotel detec
tive, who had looked on in amazement,
then arrested Spring and had him locked
up on a charge of disorderly conduct.
At the station house it was said that the
'man was a professional swindler, who
had been preying upon visitors from
Chicago.
A Broker on HU Muscle.
New York, Dec. 25.—A crank at
tempted to kill Silas O. Walbridge, a
wealthy real estate dealer, in his office.
He had been loafing aroung the building
until he saw Mr. Walbridge enter his
office. Following him in. as Walbridge
turned to the hat rack, he was hit over
the head with a piece of rubber pipe in
which was concealed a stick of solder.
The two men grappled, and Mr. Wal
bridge, wbo is about 60 years old, finally
got the weapon away from his assailant.
The crank fled through the door and
was lost in the crowd of holiday shop
pers outside. The motive for the assault
was evidently murder and robbery.
COMPEL VACCINATION.
An Important DeciMlou Rendered in an
Indiana Court.
Terre Haute, Dec. 25.—Judge Tay
lor. of the circuit court, gave a decision
in regard to the power of the local
board of health and the school authori
ties to exclude a pupil because of failure
to be vaccinated.
It is a. question now being discussed
throughout the state. Frank D. Blue,
who is a member of the Auti-vaccination
association, asked the court to restrain
the principal of a school from prohibit
ing the attendance of his sou, who had
not been vaccinated. The judge says:
“As to the power of the board of
health of the city or state, of the legis
lature itself, to compel a healthy person
liot having l>een exposed to smallpox to
be vaccinated or qnit school it is not
necessary for the court to express an
opinion in the present state of the plead
ings, and I express none; but what Ido
decide is, that under the present rules of
'he state board of health the local board
uas no power to compel a healthy child,
not exposed to smallpox, to be vacci
nated or quit school—first, for the rea
son that the rules of the state board con
fer no such power; second, because if
they did confer such power the rules
were never promulgated by the proper
authority, the county board, an act nec
essary to give authority to the city
board.”
KILLED HIM.
A Fatal Christmas Accident
Near Rome.
A YOONG FARMER KILLED
By Droppinga Pistol From His
Pocket in Gordon
County.
W. A. Adams, a young man 27 years of
age, was killed Christmas night over in
Gordon county, near Tilton.
He was a well known and popular
young farmer.
The killing was accidental and occur
red in a peculiar way. It seems that a
young friend of his who had imbibed
more than was good for him, was with
him, and Adams, seeing his condition,
took from him a pistol he was flourishing.
A few minutes afterward Adams went
out to get some wood. While stooping
the pistol dropped out of his pocket and
fired. The bullet struck-him between
the eyes, killing him instantly.
J The young man has many friends in
this county who regret the unfortunate
accident.

FROM STARVATION.
i Three Death, in the Vicinity of Pittsburg
Within Three Days.
Pittsburg, Dec. 25.—Within the past
i three days three deaths have occurred in
■ this vicinity from starvation. Their
names were Anthony Dominick, an Aus-
• triafi, aged 60 years, died in Pittsburg;
Mary Weissman, daughter Os Henry
I Weissman, of Allegheney, aged 3 years;
Mrs - Dicca Arthur, a widow, aged 50
i years, died at Homestead. In the case
i of Dominick it was developed at the cor-
- oner’s inquest that he, with about 40
I other Hungarians, Italians and Aus
trians. lived together, each man doing
■ his own cooking. Dominick had not
worked for two months, and for days at
i a time he would have nothing to eat.
i He procured some putrid fish and in a
t half starved condition ate of it ravenous
i ly. The man took sick and died with
out any of the others paying any atten-
> tion to him. A verdict of death from
’ starvation was rendered.
1 The little Weissman girl had been
sick for a week, but the parents could
■ not procure food and medical treatment,
■ and it was when the child died that the
neighbors had heard of the family’s dis-
t tress. The other children, older than
i the one who died, were found to be suf
: feting from hunger.
