2 A SLICK TRICK Gets Twenty-Four Hundred Dollars From SOUTHERN EXPRESS CO. Agen D. E. Lowery and Others Refuse to Talk But Here is the Story. Tha southern express office at this place is out just $2,400. And some smooth citizen, unknown to this part of the country, is in just that amount. While just at present Mr. R. L. Jeu nines, of Marshall, Texas, is here awaiting photographs of himself and let ters of identification to prove that the $2,400 belongs to him. In brief the story seems to amount to just this: Mr. Jennings shipped the money by exp-ess; somebody stole the grip containing the express receipts and •ertain letters, and arriving here ahead of Mr. Jennings succeeded in getting the money from the office here. Mr. Jen nings has shown up, and there you are. This's th ; way the story looks, and as it stands now Mr. Jennings is at Mr. Janes' boarding house opposite the Pres byterian church, awaiting legal identifi cation that he may get the money he claims, while the express is hot in the reach after the man who got the money. The matter has been kept very quiet. ,It came to light Wednesday, but was known by few. Yesterday it became gen erally known in the city, but even then those most interested would give out little for publication. Howeve •, from the best information that can be received here is the story from The Beginning;. Mr. R. L. Jennings is editor and pro prietor of the Morning Star in Marshall, Texas, a town of 10,000 inhabitants. He is also something • f a stock man, and an admirer of the mild eyed Jersey. In this way he came in communication wuh ■“VOknel Crook, of Jacksonville, Ala., a gentleman well known as a raiser of fine stock. The correspondence touched upon some of the fine Jerseys owned by Mr. T. F. Howell, es this city, whio > Colonel Cook had authority to sell. The culmination was that Mr. Jennings wrote he would come over to look lie TAa^m^. thing known last wet k ago of a man who said he was Jennings. He had letters to Jennings from Colonel Cook and other papers, and had no difficulty as passing off as such. He stopped at Mrs. Echols’ boarding house, and went out to look at Mr. Howell’s cattle. He seemed much in terested and talked as if he would make a large purchase. Monday morning he called at the ex press office and asked if his money,s2,4oo, had come. He was told it had.- He asked for it, and as a means of identifica tion produced the receipt for the amount given at Marshall, and also many per sonal letters, some es them dealing with the proposed trade for Mr. How ell’s stock. The identification seemed complete, and the money was delivered. And he never came back. That is all known of that Jennings, or that man who said he was Jennings. Then Another Mr. Jennings appeared on the scene. He arrived last Tuesday night with Col. Crook, and Wednesday met Mr. Howell and others to whom he told bis business. He was informed of the presence of the ether man, tend the fact that he bad secured the $2 400. Then it was the sensation •pened, and it has been ever since. The money was gone, and the man claiming to be the right man was here. “I want my money,” he said, but he has not, secured it, and the tuau who did get it is in a place that the express com pany and others would like to know. That’s the way the matter stands. Mr. Jennings is now at the boarding house of E H. Janes, opposite the Presbyterian church, and is awaiting complete identi fication. He has sent off for photographs and other means of complete identifica tion, while the express company is hunt ing for the man who got the money. Mr. Jennings wants his money, and the com pany wants the other man and the money too. Keeping it Ouiet. Mr. D. E. Lowery, agent of the rx- —————BEAUTIFUL SLEEP —is an expression used for sound sleep.

Some Strong Speeches—The Representatives Telling Augusta Stories. Special to Thb Tuibunb. Atlanta. D-o. I.—There was a sur prisiuglv large numhero' m mh-rs of the house present at to-day’s session, co sid ering their trip to Augusta and the ste rns which the b >ys are telling on one another Whether the trip was more fatal to members of the tipper house, [ ciunor. tell but it is ceriaiu that the seu a e did n >t have a quorum while the house did. The principal business before the house this morning was the reconsidera tion of the bond bu-unes*. When it came up after the lead ng < f the j urnal, Mr. Rankin, of Gordon, made his motion to reconsider and made a Bhort butfoice lul speech against the pivment at the present time of the bonds. There were several short speeches bit the principal one against ri-coi sidei ation was by Mr. Candler, of D<K*lb. Mr. Candler is a S'roug advocate <>f tne ata e paying both the principle and the interest, bur. le held that reconsideration meant failure utterly to do anybiug iu this bgialatuie and s > he fought reconsideration. Wheu it c ime to a vote the friends of the measure were iu rhe mnj >nty and voted reconsideration down by a vote of 50 to 71. Mr. Flemmiug, when his name was called, explained bis vote and in doing so r<fl-cted the sentiments of a pood mmy members. He said chat if he believed there was any chance for re consideration to mean the payment of the principal and the interest be would vote for reconsideration. He held that both legally and in iqui y, the point which was taken by those who onjeoted to the payment of interest was not ten able. He held that the point would hold him in agreeing and that the state as a sovereign could probable not be com pelled to pay this inoasy, but he thought that, as it Was iqatlvdiie. ttua atate ought to Volunteer to pay it, aud if it did that rhe legislature’s action would ba legal. However, he voted against r< c msidera tion because he felt that there was no chance to get anything for the holders of the bonds if the matter was recon sidered and the fight prolonged. The senate did nothing but read bills the first and second time while the house devoted its. If to routine business. The special committee appointed to in vestigate the depositories and the treasury, held a meeting this morning. The committee has received from each depository an exact sta emenr, of the amount of fuudsin its bauds and will go over the treasurys book, so as co asca.- tvn how this depository law wo ks Tnere is a very general opinion that there ought to be a ch nge. Bo far as I can find the depository system meets with pret'y general favor as a sistem, but every legislature brings a lot of bids creating additional depositories and they are passed until the number has increased far beyond the intention of the origina tors of the pian. Some people favor the creation of some one solvent bank in every county, others think that there should be just a few in the principal cities ard that the bond r< quired of them sbou d be enough to cover the amount which the depository might, during regular order of business, at any time have in their possession. The committee will have no trouble whatever iu learning the facts about the system and about the treasury but may have trouble in finding some successful, rational solution of the problem.

A Heated Election in North Rome Satur. day. North R ime was an excited suburb yesterday, t he cause being the election of a mayor and four aidermen. For weeks rhe campaign has been progressing, and it waged warmer as yes terday grew near. It wll be remembered that a mass meeting was called by Mayor Hart, and after a great amount of speech making it broke up in confusion. Not before, bow< ver.,E. P. Treadaway was nomina ted for m yor, and four otners for coun cilman. Qne faction claimed that the uomina iou was not regular, and refused io abide by it. Another mass meeting was held, a id as this R v. W. M. Bridges j was nominated for mayor, and four i others f r councilmen. This made two separate factions, one headed by Treadaway at d the oti er by Bridges Excrement ra . high, and it i was hajd to guess at the possible win- I tier. Ihe registration ran up to 175, the highest it ever reached. Yesterday ihe little city was all excite- ' meut, and all there aud a gre it many in Rome wa’chcd the race with interest. The result was the election of the full Treaeaway ticket, by maj irides greater than even rhe most sanguine followers of this side expected. Here are the candidates and the vote r< ceived: For Mayor. ■E. P. Treadaway 91 W. M. Bridges 67 For Aldermen. G. W Tram uell 101 T. u. Bro ch 97 A. J. Crocker 91 Chas. J. Jenkins 90 J. F.
