THE DALTOH AFFAIR Each Day’s Sees lai Sen- DiEl PEEPLES IBSIK IEDIESDAT A««at ot «*« WMt«rn * * Mantle lodtetad—J»««e Langrtoa Fined •730 Tee New Developmante. Sensation follows swift upon sensa tion in the Dalton ear robbery eases. The accounts read Use stories of the Beadle & Adam's variety. Yester day’s Constitution contains tbe> fol lowing about Wednesdays proceed ings. With every revolution of the wheels in this mill of justice the state wins. The Bohannon banditti and their fences lose every play. Why they don’t quit the game is to be account ed for only on the supposition that thev do not realize how strong the evidence is against them. But they ought to begin to tee that the state what it Is doing. All the crooks are coming over as fact as they are con victed. Ralph Ellison, who was convicted yesterday, came across today and vol unteered to testify for the prosecution in any case if needed Ellison was one of Bohannon’s main fences. He was a clearing bouse for stolen goods. They were deliver ed to him and be disposed of them. He did a brokerage business. He bad regular customers, merchants here and through the country, who w \?nld give him orders for a case of shoes, one hundred pounds of tobac co, ten bolts of prints, a bolt or more of <ilk, hams side meat, butter, snuff, eagar, eoffee—anything, in faet, that they needed to replenish their stock. This “Mother Mandlebaum” could fill such an order in two days less time than an Atlanta or Chattanooga drummer and for half tbe money. These robbers and the associates kept warehouses in whieh’they stored their booty and they always had a large general stock of dry goods, groceries and provisions on hand. Waiter Bohannon says that his custom ers treated him badly. They would not pTy him more than a fourth or a third of the value for goods. “They got to beating me down on the price until they would give me only |1 a bolt for dre«s goods. It did not make any difference whether it was calico or silk, muslin or plaids. All they would pay was JI a bolt.” “Your customers must have made a great deal of moneywas suggested. “No, they did not,” Bohannon ans wered. “They got to cutting prices on each other and selling so cheap'y trying to run each other out of business, that there Was very little profit in it, even for my trade. As for the other merchants who did not buy from me, they were almost ruined. I guess some of them were ruined, because they could not c rm pete with my customers,” Railroad Agent Indicted Sensational developments came thick and fast today. An indictment was found against Tom Peeples, agent of tbe Western and Atlantic railroad here, and his son, Drew N. Peeples. They are charged with stealing nine barrels of New Orleans syrup from tbe Western & Atlantic freight depot in August, 1896. Drew Peeples is another city coun cilman. He is a young man and has posed as a desperate character. He and his brother, John Peeples, Jr., were under indictment for receiving stolen goods from the Bohannonites. This last case is the worst in tbe bag. The evidence before tbe grand jury showed that Tom Peeples, the father opened the railroad freight depot about 4 o’clock one morning and Gyp Arnold, the firm’s porter, rolled the barrels across the street and into Pee pies store, the rear entrance to which is about sixty feet from the freight warehouse. The barrels had been shipped from Chattanooga to Flemis ter & Riley, of Dalton. They were marked “F. R. Dalton.” The bar rels were placed in tbe cellar of the Peeples store and that afternoon Drew Peeples scraped off the letters “F. R” and marked them “D. G. Co.” The In the PATHWAY of the Expectant Mother dangers lurk, &9*Hk> and should be avoided.

People boys were doing business as the Dalton Grocery Company. Voe fIM For Cnw. Things got too hot yesterday for Drew and bis brother Tom and they skipped. Last night she councilman and young Tom were missing. They could not be found this morning, and Sheriff Johnson telegraphed Chat tanooga to have them arrested. Tbe brothers are well known in Chatta nooga, where they were in business and failed. An interesting incident connected with this larceny from tbs house is tbe faet that Flemlster &-Riley bad paid tbe freight on tbe nine barrels and bad released tbe railroad com pany. Tbe firm left the molasses in tbe depot without storage license, /heir own store being crowded. The railroad company was not liable for the lose. Perhaps two dozen witnesses were examined by tbe grand jury. Every body knew about tbe investigation and tbe testimony seaped through tbe walls or tbe door and became common property. Fathers and sons learned what was going on and when council meets next Monday night there will be an empty chair—maybe two of tbenr. This is tbe particular sensation for which Dalton has been impatiently waiting for nearly a week. Clee Cumby stepped up to the bar this morning and plead guilty to receiving stolen goods. He bought a bag of coffee from the gang. Tbe bag weighed 140 pounds. It had been stolen from tbe Southern railway, of course. The detec tives massed tbe evidence against Cumby, and be had sense enough to see that it was folly and a heavier penalty to go to trial. Jesse Langston, who pled guilty last night to receiving stolen goods, was sen tenced this morning to* pay $750 and serve twelve months in tbe chaingang, but tbe imprisonment was conditionally suspended. Sentence Is Indorsed, Public opinion indorses the sentence as just, all the circumstances considered. This was the first sentence passed in any of the car robbing and receiving of stolen goods cases. During the morning session the cases against the Peeplei boys and their father were called. Some of them charging the boys with receiving stolen goods were nol pressed, new indictments having been found. The bills which were nol prossed had been returned before the Bohannon pirates were convicted. There must be a conviction or plea of guilty of robbery, burglary or larceny before there can be a prosecution for re - ceiving the stolen articles. This accounted for the many nolle prosings this week and the large number of new bills. There were eight indictments against the three Peeples. . One of them charg ed Tom Peeples, the father, with getting a carpet which had been stolen. Soli citor General Maddox decided to go to trial on this. The defendent was charg ed in tbe bill with procuring from his sou, Drew, a carpet which had been stolen from the Southern railway. The evidence before the grand jury was that the elder Peeples had the carpet on the floor of his house. Did You Ever Try Electric Bitters as a remedy for your troubles?

The Girl Through Whose Eyes He Has to See. In a recent New York letter Miss Emily McLaws, of Augusta, writes of Charles Broadway Rouss, the Confeder ate millionaire: “My impressions of Mr. Roues always bring to mind the pretty, intelligent face of a girl as she Bits at his right hand in Ms office, taking the place of his eyes. You are not conscious of his blindness until he begins to move or un til he wishes something requiring eye sight. “In the last instance the name which springe to hie lips ‘Blanch’ and the girl with the eweet, earnest face is always there and knows where to find and how to got whatever he wishes.So to see Mr Rouse seated in hie office without that girl at hie side would seem moat un natural.’’ To Curs a Cold in One Day.

WkatlHe Sonthen* KeSway Bas Done la Tai* IMrrcUon In his annual report just eat Presi dent S unuel Spencer of the Southern Railway Company, mates the follow ing significant statement: Daring the year 40l new manufactur ing establishments of various kinds were located at points upon the company’s road. There have been compieced during the year on the lines of the company cot ton factories alone working 60.000 looms, tbe total coat of which has been nearly *2,000,000, and at the close of tbe year there are under ad ditional mills whteh will include 62,- 500 spindles. The construction Joy the company of 92,861 feet, or 17.59 mills of new sidetrack to industrial establish ments during tbe year indicates this general growth and tbe appreciation of the company’s policy in fostering* such enterprises,’’ Mr. Spencer’s statement is important for several reasons. First, it indicates the rapid and substantial industrial growth of the South, and, secondly, it demonstrates the importance of a lib eral’ broad-guaged policy by tbe rail roads to aid in building up new indus tries, thereby promoting tbe welfare of the community and the railroad alike. The Southern Railway Company has been particularly active in peopling tbe vacant territory along its lines with de sirable settlers, and in fostering in dustrial enterprises. The result is evi dent in Mr. Spencer’s report. It is tbe wiser plan for all railroads to exercise a spirit of this kind. It cannot fail to profit them in ths end. The Southern Railwav is undoubt edly doirg much to advance the South’s progress, and as the Baltimore Manu facturer’ Record suggest, “those un happy individuals who are collecting evidences of the damage wrought by railroads in the South should clip and file away President Spencer’s state ment’ as quoted above. ‘•Only The Beef’ Should be your motto when you need a medicine.

Miss Matilda C. Johnson died at Menlo, Ga., last Sunday morning says the Chattanooga Times. Miss Johnson at her death was 75 years of age, and nntil last spring had never lieen sick a day in her life. Miss Johnson was the daughter of Theodore Johnson, an early settler of Tennessee, She was highly educated and from her 16th year taught school in various towns in north Georgia. Nearly every native Georgian in this city went to school to Miss Johnson, and there is hardly a person in north Georgia who is not one of her eld pupils. She con tinued teaching school until 72 years of age, since which time she lived in High land Park. Last spring her health be gan declining for the first time in her life, and she went to Menlo, Ga., in the hope that it would improve. Her extreme old age, however, was more tbe cause of her death than any thing else. She died as she had lived, peacefully and quietly. Her life time was spent in good works, she being a true southern lady of the old school. Miss Johnson was in one way or an other related to nearly every prominent family in north Georgia and Tennessee. She was closely related to Dr. MoCallie, Chancellor Branford and G. H. Jarna gin. Tbe funeral took place at LaFayette, Ga., Tuesday, it being the largest fun eral cortege ever seen in north Georgia. Tne people of north Georgia have al ready started to work raising a fund with which they propose to erebt an im mense monument at La Fayette to her greatness. Yellow Fever Germa breed in the bowels.
