DOLING OPT STATE DUCATS.
The House Still at Work on the Appro
priation Bill.
The College at Dahlonega to Get 92.000.
An Effort to Increase to SIB,OOO the
Fund for the Academy for the Blind
Falls—The Proposed Increase to the
State Lunatic Asylum Allowed—Only
Fifteen Days More Left for This Ses
sion.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27.—The entire ses
sion of the House to-day was taken up
in discussing a few sections of the appro
priation bill. The biggest fight that ever
the military appropriation has had, is
yet to be made.
To-day an effort was made to with
draw the appropriation of $2,000 from the
agricultural cottage at Dahlonega, but
seeing that it would fail, Mr. Hurst of
Walton, the author of the amendment
for this purpose, withdrew it and the ap
propriation was voted.
An unsuccessful effort was made to in
crease the sum going to the Academy for
the Blind, to SIB,OOO, instead of $16,000.
Then several hours were spent in talk
ing on the proposition of Mr. Hodges of
Bibb to restore |he annual appropriation
of $2,000 taken away from the Middle
Georgia Agricultural College by the leg
islature two years ago. This question
was still pending when the House ad
journed.
There are only fifteen more days, in
cluding Sundays, of the session left and
the appropriation bill must be pushed
through. In order to get on with it the
Bouse will meet an hour earlier to-mor
row, 9 o’clock.
A lot of time was wasted to-day try
ing to get resolutions for afternoon and j
night sessions through, but the House
evidently had “that .tired feeling,” and
{would not agree to any of them.
The amendment of Mr. Hopkins of
Thomas to increase the appropriation for
the state lunatic asylum for 1895 to $210,-
000 and for 1896 to $230,000, and to allow
*4,000 to restore the wornout pumps used
in the water works system of the institu
tion, was adopted to-day. The finance
committee has recommended only $200,000
for each of the years 1895-6, but receded
from its recommendations before the ar
gument brought to bear on the floor. Mr.
Humphries of Brooks, chairman of the
asylum committee, read a letter from
Dr. Powell of the asylum showing that it
would be impossible to run the asylum on
the $200,000 appropriation. There would be
800 more inmates when the new buildings
were completed, and that would mean
more bread, more clothing, more medi
cine and more servants and more of ev
erything else.
The indications are that the legislature
at this session will not pass any meas
ures looking to the relief of the supreme
court. This morning the Senate refused
to pass the bill introduced by Senator
Mercer to allow the supreme court to an
nounce its decisions and not write them
out when the amount involved is less
than SSOO.
The West bill for the quarterly pay
ment of school teachers and the opening
of the common schools ahy time after Jan.
1 passed the Senate to-day. It now only
needs the signature of the governor to
become a law, and set at rest the uneasi
aoSs that the teachers have been under
going with regard to next year's schools
and their pay.
CRIMINALS BURNED TcTdEATH.
They Started a Fire in the Jail for the
Purpose of Escaping.
High Springs, Fla., Nov. 27. Saturday
night about 12 o’clock, Mr. Dugan, night
telegraph operator at this place was shot
by Will Sheehee at Fryer & Thomas’ bar
in a drunken quarrel. One ball struck the
center of Dugan’s forehead glancing up
ward inflicting a scalp wound. The sec
ond shot entered the arm just above the
left wrist following the bone to and coming
out at the elbow. Mr. Dugan is doing as
well as can be expected. Sheehee claims
that Dugan had assaulted and knocked
him down and that he shot in self-de
fense. No arrests have been made.
At 12 o’clock Sunday night (24th) citi
»ens living near the town jail were awak
ened by cries of fire! help! fire! we are
burning up! Hurrying to the scene it
was seen that two negroes confined in the
jail for larceny had set fire to one corner
of it, trying to effect their escape and were
already overcome by the flames. The jail
was built of sawed heart pine 2 by 4 and
bolted together with iron rods from top
to bottom and each piece nailed to the
one under it, with 30d nails, making it im
possible to tear it down or rescue the
bodied till the structure was a heap of
qoals. Then with a long pole the charred
bodies were pushed out of the fire, pre
senting a sickening sight, the head, arms
and feet being either burned or pulled off
in extricating the trunks. Everything that
could be done was done to force the doors,
but the fire had made too much headway,
and the poor negroes paid their lives in
their attempt to burn out of jail.
THREE JAIL BIRDS ESCAPE.
4Fhey Knock Down Braidentown's
Jailor and Get Away.
Braidentown, Fla., Nov. 27.—Yesterday
morning as Mr. J. W. Porter, the jailor,
visited the jail for the purpose of giving
the prisoners their breakfast, he was
■hoved down by one of the prisoners, and
the three there confined in the jail
made their escape. Thep are all at large,
from last accounts are clostgy pur
mnied. The prisoners are Elijah Shambiy.

ing concealed weapons, and who is also

TROUBLE ABOUT AWOMAN.
On* Man Kills Another and is Charged
With Murder.
Tennille, Ga„ Nov. 27.—A difficulty oc
curred between Tom Upton and Louis
Neal on Bob Young's place, about seven
miles south of here yesterday, resulting
in Neal cutting Upton with a knife or
dirk, inflicting aa many as eleven wounds
Upon his person, from which he died.
The difficulty occurred over a suspic
ion that Upton was taking too many
liberties with Neal's wife, and a rumor
that Upton and Neal’s wife had planned
to elope together. Neal went in search of
Upton and found him in his (Neal's)
house and assaulted him. Upton retreat
ed for fifty yards or more with Neal in
pursuit, cutting him all the while.
The coroner’s jury declared the kill
ing to be murder.
POPULIST GRAND STAND PLAY.
Senator McGregor Makes a Minority
Report on the Whitley Contest.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27.—C01. Charlie Mc-
Gregor, Tom Watson’s partner in the
newspaper line, and populist leader in the
Senate, made a great grand stand play
in the Senate to-day, by submitting a
sensational minority report of the Whit
ley-Williams contested election case, and
making an Impassioned attack upon the
methods employed to seat Dr. Whitley.
His report cited various frauds practiced
at some of the election precincts, where
Williams received large majorities, and
also at other precincts where Whitley re
ceived majorities. The report also cited
the fact that Williams had not paid his
taxes for three years before his election,
and for that reason was not entitled to
a seat in the Senate. It recommends that
Williams be unseated and Whitley be
given the seat.
Senator McGregor alleges gross frauds
in precincts where Whitley got majori
ties, the use of liquor and money and
the intimidation of voters. He charges
leading democrats of the district, naming
District Attorney Joe James, Hon. War
ner Hill and Capt. Terrell, brother to
Attorney General Joe Terrell, with be
ing parties to these illegal doings. His
report winds up by recommending that
on account of the frauds, the office of
senator from the Thirty-sixth district
be certified to the governor as vacant, and
that he be asked to order another elec
tion for senator from that district.
Senator McGregor moved that both re
ports be laid on the table until to-morrow,
and that they be printed for the use of
the Senate, but this was voted down.
Senator McGregor then moved the adop
tion of the minority report, and stated that
while he recognized that he was in a
hopeless minority, he had a right to pro
test against giving this seat to Mr. Whit
ley; that the record was reeking with
fraud and saturated with whisky.
Mr. Beeks took the floor, and in a vig
orous reply to Senator McGregor said that
the minority report and the speech of the
senator from the Nineteenth called for
a reply. His minority report and his
speech, Mr. Beeks declared, was not In
tended, as a reply to the majority report,
but a speech to the people to make politi
cal capital. The conduct of the sitting
member was far more reprehensible than
that of the contestee, he said. There
was more influence and more trickery re
sorted to by the populists than by the
democrats. The committee gave both sides
a patient hearing, and were forced to the
inevitable conclusion that the sitting
member was not entitled to his seat.
Senator Bryan secured the floor and
cited the law bearing upon the action of
the committee.
Mr. McGregor again arose and said, ad
dressing the Senate in an excited manner:
“If you democrats think I am making a
political speech and am opposed to Geor
gia, you will find that your report will be
answered at the polls two years hence.
I stand for fair elections, and my report
asks for a fair election, and that shall be
fair. If you want tp sustain Joe James
and his ward heelers do so; I will not.
The candidate of the majority was re
pudiated by his neighbors, but there is
an effort to seat him by fraud and trick
ery, that is beneath the dignity of this
body. I stand here not as a populist,
not as Charlie McGregor, but as a senator
for the state of Georgia demanding fair
elections. Why did you refuse to have the
report of the case printed? Are you
afraid to let the people of Georgia see
it?"
Chairman Little closed the debate by a
lengthy review of the evidence In the
case which overwhelmingly justified the
unseating of the populist member and the
seating of the democrat. The Senate
then adopted the report of the committee,
and later on Dr. Whitley was sworn in
by Associate Justice Atkinson.
This afternoon the populist daily fairly
goes Into hysterics over the unseating of
Mr. Williams.
A TURPENTINE BTILLDESTROYED
Much Property Saved By the Hard
Work of a Bucket Brigade.
Walthourville, Ga., Nov. 27.—Shortly af
ter midnight last night the turpentine
distillery of Col. E. P. Miller was seen
to be on fire, and was soon surrounded
by willing hands, but the intense heat
from the burning rosin and turpentine
was too severe to allow any effort to be
made toward saving the building, which
was in a few moments entirely covered
by the fire. By hard work most of the
rosin which was on the yard, and about
half the crude turpentine was saved. Only
about fifty barrels of rosin were burned.
There were about 300 barrels of crude tur
pentine sb close to the fire that it was
impossible to reach it. A carload of empty
turpentine barrels had just been unloaded,
and were stored under the glue shed.
These were all consumed, as no one could
enter. The cooper shop was saved by a
crowd of men with buckets and spades.
The rosin came pouring on, but was
checked by a dam built against it. There
was no blaze at all, which greatly favored
those working on the wind mill and water
tank. Although both were on fire when
first seen, yet, though having a good sup
ply of water in the tank, and by quickly
forming a bucket brigade, thby were saved
with only slight damage. On Aug. 23
this same distillery was burned, with
much more severe loss of rosin and spirits,
aud but for the timely arrival of the rail
way section men the railroad track would
have suffered considerable damage at
that point. The main point of difference,
between these two fires, both of which
were without doubt the work of an In
cendiary, is that on the former occasion
there were two explosions, which were
heard at a distance of several miles, one
following the other after a lapse of only
a few seconds. These were pronounced by
Mr. C. B. Warrand to be dynamite cart
ridges. In the last case the fire seemed
to spring up of itself, and the light was
what attracted attention. The increndl
ary had probably noted the ( effect of the
explosions, and did his work more quietly.
BEWABDa IN SIGHT.
A Number of Negroes Wanted for Burn
ing Buildings.
* Sylvania, Ga., Nov. 27.—Seven ne
groes who had a hand in the burning of
Jese T. Wade's gin house a few weeks ago,
together with his barn, hay house, also
the gin house and barn of E. W. Hock the
same night, were lodged in jail here last
night.
Mr. Wade and Mr. Hock overheard the
negroes plotting tp burn the buildings of
Dr. T. 3. Mims and Dr. Lovett the fol
lowing night, and.they also heard them
give the details of the fires they recently
set.
Without saying anything to the negroes
at the time Mr. Wade took out warrants
for all seven of them, and had the war
rants executed before day.
The negroes confess to the burning, and
: say they were Induced by white men to
I commit it for political purposes.
The negroes all live on place
I and every one of them are in his debt,
i and have been for some time.
But they say Mr. Wade was always kind
I to them and never distressed them in any
j way.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK), THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1894
WAR SCARE IN WASHINGTON.
Cruisers Ordered to Nicaragua to Show
Their Teeth to England.
The British Government Declines to
Recognize the Legality of the New
Order of Things on the Mosquito
Coast—The Incorporation of the Ter
ritory as a Part of Nicaragua the
Change Which Great Britain Resents.
Panama, Nov. 27.—Advices from Ma
nagua indicate a grave situation in the
Mosquito reservation. The British min
ister, Mr. Gosling, has notified Nicaragua
that Great Britain refuses to recognize
the Nicaraguan government at Bluefields.
After an exchange of views. Minister
Gosling telegraphed to Port Limon for a
British warship to come at once to Blue
fields. It is reported that the Nicaraguan
canal project is at the bottom of the mat
ter, and serious trouble is feared.
Washington, Nov. 27.—As a result of a
conference at Woodley to-day between
the President and Secretary Gresham, the
cruiser Columbia, which has been for sev
eral weeks at Kingston, Jamaica, was
cabled peremptory orders to proceed at
once to Blueflelds for the protection of
American interests. Mr. Gresham’s visit
to the President’s country home followed
immediately upon an interview he had
with the Nicaraguan minister.
All the officials acquainted with the af
fair refuse to divulge the reason of the
hurried orders to the Columbia, or to
confirm statements from Panama in re
gard to a refusal of Great Britain to recog
nize the Nicaraguan government Acting
Secretary McAdoo said that if it were true
that the Columbia had gone to Bluefields,
it was probably on a cruise conforming
with the established policy of the govern
ment to keep a ship in Central Ameri
can waters, as the navy department had
no recent reports from Bluefields indi
cating trouble there. It is learned, how
ever, on excellent authority, that not only
the Columbia, but the Marblehead, which
arrived at Kingston to-day, will remain at
Bluefields continuously this winter and
that the Montgomery may be sent there
from Mobile, and that preliminary orders
have been sent to New York to have all
the ships in commission of the North At
lantic squadron prepared for a West In
dian cruise at the earliest possible mo
ment. In addition, the sailing orders for
the San Francisco, which was to leave
Dec. 15 to become the flagship in European
waters, have been withheld, and she may
be sent at once to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Castine’s cruise to the South At
lantic, which was to commence early next
month, will in all probability be inter
rupted when she reaches the West Indies.
Instructions to prepare the Minneapolis
for sea at once have also been sent to the
navy department chiefs.
There seems to be, in fact, almost a
w’ar scare pervading the navy, brought
about by diplomatic rumors to the effect
that Great Britain, which several months
ago expressed a willingness to recognize
the full jurisdictional rights of Nicaragua
over the Mosquito coast, had shown a dis
position to resent what appears to be the
practical annexation of that territory and
its complete incorporation as a portion of
Nicaragua.
As long as the interoceanic canal bill
seemed under favorable consideration at
the last session of congress, Great Britain
remained quiescent in the Mosquito con
troversy, and as a result of conferences
which were held at Washington Lord
Roseberry’s cabinet consented to receive
a special envoy from Nicaragua, whose
mission related solely to the abrogation
of the treaty which gave Great Britain
a guardianship over the now almost ex
tinct tribe of Mosquito Indians. This
envoy, it is understood, has been in Lon
don for some time, but when congress
adjourned without acting on the canal
bill, the reorganization committee of the
canal company went to England in Sep
tember last to seek money, and the sug
gested abrogation of the British treaty
has been put in the background. Not un
til to-day was it definitely learned that
Great Britain had declined to recognize
the legality of the new order of things
on the Mosquito coast, and that it had so
notified Nicaragua, although such action
has been anticipated for several weeks,
which accounts for the fact that the Co
lumbia and Marblehead were not long ago
brought home. It may also explain to
some extent why the Montgomery was
sent south to Mobile ostensibly to test
new descriptions of coal. The near ap
proach of congress, it is said, gives the
President assurances that he will be sup
ported to the fullest extent in preventing
foreign interference near the route of
the proposed interoceanic canal.
Managua, Nov. 27. The Nicaraguan
government has been informed by the
British minister, Mr. Gosling, that Great
Britain has refused to recognize Nica

sent to Bluefields. In pursuance of in

PRINCESS BISMARCK DEAD.
The Frinoe Completely Broken Down by
Her Demise.
Berlin, Nov. 27.—Princess Bismarck died
at Varzin at 5 o’clock this morning. Her
eldest son, Count Herbert Bismarck, ar
rived at Varzin yesterday evening in
obedience to a summons and the other
members of the family are on their way
there.
Prince Bismarck is completely broken
down by the death of his wife, although
death was not altogether unexpected in
view of her recent repeated attacks of
fainting fits. A few weeks ago when the
princess’ condition was growing worse
Prince Bismarck said to his old Butler,
whose wife was dangerously ill, “My
friend I share your grief heartily. I am
in the same terrible position as yourself.
Everybody is passing away before our
selves.”
The princess died in the arms of her
husband who had been watching her
throughout the night. She was fully con
scious until fifteen minutes before her
death. She died of dropsy.
Prince Bismarck has for some time past
had a premonition of a catastrophe to
himself or his wife before they should
leave Varzin, and has recently said re
peatedly that if Princess Bismarck could
only go to Friedrichsruhe in tolerably
fair condition all might be well. He now
has fears that he himself may not make
the journey in safety.
Prince Bismarck this morning sent a
telegram to the emperor apprising his
majesty of the death of the princess, in
reply to which the kaiser wired the ex
chancellor a long message of sympathy.
The funeral of the princess will prob
ably take place at Schoenhausen.
The princess was a daughter of the
noble Pomeranian house of von Putt
kamer. Throughout life, she preserved
all the simplicity of her youth. She was
a perfect specimen, in the best sense of
the word, of the German haus
frau (housewife). She was very quiet,
bore her honors as the fliost natural thing
in the world, held fast by the old friends
of humbler days, and had but one real
object in life—to make her husband and
children happy. She accompanied her
husband wherever he was called by his
duties, and created for him the home life
which the Man of Blood and Iron, loved
so well, and in which he found repose
and refreshment from his labors. She
cared for her husband and children in a
peaceful, motherly way, and her serenity
and patience, which have always se
cured for Prince Bismarck a quiet home,
certainly contributed to his success
through life. “She it is,” he once said
to a friend, "who has made me what I
am.’
FORETOLD THE LYNCHING.
One of the Attorneys in the Kerrville
Case Becomes a Witness.
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 27.—1 n the Kerr
ville lynching case to-day after a heated
argument, Judge Cooper reversed his rul
ing made yesterday evening and stated
that Gen. Peters was a competent wit
ness. Gen. Peters then arose and formal
ly severed his connection with the case as
an attorney. He then under oath stated
that Richardson told him before the lynch
ing that it would take place, and also
stated that Ned Smith and others had
the scheme afoot and that it would sure
ly come oft sooner or later. Gen. Peters
told him he must go before the district at
torney and explain. Gen. Peters was one
of the counsel for the state and retired
from the case to become a witness.
Gen. Peters’ statement was to this ef
fect: “Previous to the lynching, I was
the attorney general of this county. Dan
Hawkins, one of the men lynched, was
accused of arson at Kerrville. I prose
cuted the case. The evidence against him
worked up by the defendant here, Ned
Smith, assisted by the other defendant,
W. S. Richardson. Hawkins was con
victed. The case went to the supreme
court and was reversed. Hjawkins was
defended by James Palmer, a lawyer,
who lives at Kerrville. When the case
■was reversed, Richardson came to me and
asked if I intended to go into another
trial of it. I said not unless some new
evidence was forthcoming. He then said
there would be trouble at Kerrville if
Hawkins was turned loose. Hawkins
was turned loose, for I nolle pressed the
case. Then Richardson, coming to me
again, said: ‘You had better warn Palm
er, the lawyer, for these negroes to stay
away from Kerrville, for there is going
to be a lynching there, and the white
people have about decided to include
Palmer in the slaughter.’ I asked Rich
ardson how he knew about the lynching
arrangements, and he told me that Ned
Smith had told him all about it, and that
it was gc4ng to happen almost any time.
The lynching occurred two weeks after
that.”
A LAWYER SHOT DEAD.
Hia Slayer Claima That He Had Robbad
Him for Years.
Chicago. Npv. 27.—E. C. Hastings, a
milkman who lived at 307 Flourney street
shot and killed E. P. Hilliard, a i
in the latter's office, on the eighth floor I
of the Rookery on LaSalle street, this
afternoon. The murderer told the ex- I
cited crowd which gathered over the
body of Hilliard that the lawyer had i
robbed him for ten years, and he could I
stand it no longer. When Hastings en
tered the office of his victim there was
a brief conversation about a note which
Hilliard said he did not owe Hastings.
Then the bullet was flred into the neck
of the lawyer, who died in half an hour.
Hastings calmly faced the crowd until
taken to the Harrison Street Police sta
tion. Hilliard was a director of the Love
Electric Traction Company and lived at
Longwood with his wife and three child
ren.

New York, Nov. 27.—Presiding Judge
Robert S. Hudspeth of the. Hudson
county court of common pleas in Jersey
City, created a sensation this morning
when he ascended the bench and an
nounced to the lawyers and reporters
present that an attempt had been made to
bribe the court. He commanded Edward
Wayne to stand before the bar,
and after telling him that he
was accused of the crime. or
dered Constable Loch to take him over
to the Hudson county jail, where Justice
Maes committed him on a complaint of
bribery.
He will be held to await the action of
the grand jury, which is now in session.
If indicted and convicted he may be
sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and
to pay a fine of SI,BOO.
Wayne’s son was recently found guilty
of selling policy slips in Jersey City and
Judge Hudspeth sentenced him to one
year’s imprisonment. The sentence had
not yet been carried into effect this morn
ing when the elder Wayne appeared at
the court house and asked to see the
judge. The latter was conferring in the
private room with Judges Hoffman and
Henny, but when Wayne made a Masonic
sign and asked for a private audience,
the other judges left the room. Wayne
then said to the judge: “I am a Mason,
judge, and so are you. I want you to let
up on my boy. If you will suspend sen
tence on him, it will be worth all the way
from SI,OOO to $5,000.”
“Well,” answered Judge Hudspeth, who
wanted a witness to this statement, "I’ll
have to consult one of the other judges
on this.”
He called Judge Hoffman, and in his
presence, Wayne repeated the offer.
Then Judge Hudspeth became so angry
that he struck Wayne, and immediately
ordered his arrest.
Later Judge Hudspeth said publicly that
anybody who attempts to bribe a judge
or court in Hudson county must suffer
the penalty of the law, Mason or no Ma
son.

HAWAII’S NEW CONSPIRACY.
It Is Formidable, But Not Enough So to
Justify Arrests.
San Francisco, Nov. 27.—The following
news came to hand per steamer Oceanic,
which arrived to-day:
Honolulu, Nov. 19.—The government
possesses evidence to prove that the new
alleged conspiracy to restore the queen
is somewhat formidable, but not enough
to justify arrests. No danger of any
actual attempt is now apprehended.
It is not believed possible that any
hostile expedition can, or will, be pro
cured at San Francisco to aid the roy
alists. Any such force from abroad would
no doubt be summarily dealt with by an
American warship in port. What the
British man-of-war Hyacinth would do
is not clear. It is believed she was de
tained from her intended cruise to the
South Pacific by apprehension of trouble
here.
The United States ship Yorktown ar
rived yesterday in less than eight days
from San Francisco. She is expected to
sail for Korea on the 22d inst. It is hoped
that the Bennington may arrive soon to
protect American interests should any
trouble arise.

A Disastrous Failure.
Not a financial one, but a failure of
physical energy—of vital stamina. How
can this be repaired? By a persistent
course of the blood fertilizer and invigo
rant, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which
insures perfect digestion and assimilation,
and a consequent gain in strength and
flesh. It also remedies liver and malarial
disorder, rheumatism, nervousness and
constipation.—ad.

BAKER LEFT NO BIG BOODLE.
Lawyers Unable to Trace Any Part of
the $354,000 by His Papers.
His Estata Said to Be Worth Not Over
s6o,ooo—The Dead Man’s Son Aiding
the Bank Officials in Their Efforts to
Clear Up the Mystery—The Bank to
Bring Action Against the Dead Man’s
Estate and President Orane Confident
of Recovering the Greater Part of the
Stolen Money.
New York, Nov. 27.—Director Beach of
the Shoe and Leather Bank was seen at
the hank building this morning, and to an
inquiry if there was any truth in the re
port that Defaulter Seeley had been cap
tured, he replied that he had not received
the slightest intimation to that effect.
President Crane of the bank said this
afternoon that action would soon be
brought against the estate of the dead
lawyer, Frederick Baker, and that the
investigatloh made by the bank officers
and Counsellor Bishop goes to show that
the bank will recover the greater
part of the $354,000 that Baker and Seeley
embezzeled. Just how much the bank
will be able to recover Lawyer Bishop
and President Crane cannot now say,
for they have not yet finished collecting
their memoranda. Mr. Crane did not, how
ever, hesitate to say that the bank con
sidered that it would be able to recover
over $200,000 of the sum embezzled.
Herbert S. Ogden who, since yesterday,
has been counsel for the family of Fred
erick Baker, issued the following state
ment for the Baker family this after
noon: "Frederick R. Baker came to me
yesterday and employed me as counsel.
He asked me what he ought to do under
the present circumstances, and I told
him in my opiriion the honest thing was
to assist the Shoe and Leather Bank in
every way possible. Then it was agreed
upon by the officers of the bank, the
officers of the Park Savings Deposit Com
pany and myself that we meet and open
the safe deposit box yesterday, as has
been described in the newspapers.
Mr. Baker voluntarily afforded all the
assistance in his power for the examina
tion of his father’s books, papers and
effects. We found nothing in the vault
that threw the remotest light on any of
his father’s transactions with the bank.
Yesterday evening Mr. Baker, Mr. Bishop,
of the counsel for the bank and myself
met up town to see if any light could be
thrown on the matter. We made an ap
pointment to meet here to-day to go
through his father’s check books and pa
pers. Mr. Bishop, Frederick R. Baker and
myself worked all the morning and up to
this time we have not found a scrap of
paper that in any way, shape or manner,
shows any connection between the bank
in question and Frederick Baker, who, it
is alleged drew sums of money from that
bank. We have not as yet made an ex
haustive examination. There was also
not a scrap of paper to show that the de
ceased had any connection with Samuel
C. Seeley.”
When questioned regarding Frederick
Baker’s estate, the lawyer said: "In my
estimation, Mr. Baker’s whole estate will
consist of equities in various pieces of
property, aggregating not more than $60.-
000. All the property that he held was
heavily mortgaged, and I believe that the
total of all the equities left by him to his
family or held by his family before his
death will not exceed this. Now assuming
—mind I myself by no means even as
sume this—that Frederick Baker was one
of the two men who robbed the Shoe and
Leather Bank of $354,000, there Is no possi
ble way in which the disposition of either
one-half or one-third of that amount by
Mr. Baker can be shown.”
When questioned as to whether he be
lieved Frederick Baker was the man who
was Seeley’s accomplice, the lawyer be
came non-committal. “We are working
now to find the truth,” he said. “In my
opinion, there were more than two men
concerned in that robbery. The men who
did it had accomplices.”
"If It Is shown that the Frederick Baker
who robbed the bank is the Frederick
Baker whose family you represent, will
your clients make reparation to the
bank?” was asked.
“I shall so advise,” was the reply.
Lawyer Bishop was reticent when asked
about the examination. Nothing of note
had been found in the check books, he ad
mitted, but said the examination was not
completed.

NEW COTTON MILL PLANS.
The Massachusetts Company Decides
Not to Increase Its Stock.
Boston, Nov. 27.—A special meeting of
the stockholders of the Massachusetts
Cottori Company yesterday voted to re
scind the action taken at the special meet
ing on Aug. 16 by which It was decided
to increase the capital stock from $1,800,-
000 to $2,400,000. It was then unanimously
voted to authorize the directors to build
a mill in the south, which shall be leased
to a separate organization. The amount
of the new stock of the Massachusetts
mills subscribed for by the stockholders
has not been large enough to enable the
company to build a new mill in the south
with its own funds. The directors there
fore propose to accomplish the same re
sult in another way. They recommend
that a company be organized under the
laws of Massachusetts with a capital of
$600,000, the mill when built to be let, the
privilege of subscribing for the stock in
the new company be offered the share
holders of the Massachusetts cotton mills.
It is proposed that the new company
shall lease all its property to the Mas
sachusetts Cotton Mill Company for a
term of 100 years, and that at any time
after ten years from the date of the lease
the Massachusetts cotton mills shall have
the right to purchase the whole or a
part of the property of the new company.

tally wounded, dying of his wounds Sat
urday night. The robbers escaped un
hurt. A posse was made up Saturday
morning, and a search for the robbers im
mediately began. Word has reached here

the Antelope hills in Cheyenne county,

bers were heavily armed and well
mounted. A reward of $4,000 had been of
