BIGGEST DEAL Os MB
In Railroad Circles Reported to Have
Been Consummated But Report
Is Not Yet Confirmed.
Chicago, Sept. 17—The Baltimore and
Ohio have about conduced negotiations
for the purchase of roads which will give
them a through line from ocean to ocean,
although the authorative announcement of
such a transaction is withheld. The deal
connecting James J. Hill,of the Great
Northern railway and prominent Chicago
men with the reorganization of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad, is credited in
many quarters.
Norman B. Ream was the only inter
ested representative in the city as the
members of the conference held yesterday
had left Chicago. He would not affirm the
big deal, but close friends said there is
something in it.
An official of the Baltimore and Ohio
said that Mr. Hill would be identified with
the reorganization of the road, but a com
bination between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Great Northern is in order to
create a through trunk line from coast to
coast was a matter of the distant futre.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS IT.
Two Soldiers of the First Georgia Stabbed
by a Brewer.
'Private Thomas Barrett and a soldier
named Harrison, of the First Georgia regi
ment, were stabbed by a brewer in Knox
ville early Tuesday morning while engaged
in a difficulty. Considerable mystery sur
rounds the affair and information 'as ito the
origin of the trouble is hardly obtainable.
The Journal and Tribune, of Knoxville,
however, has the following relative to the
scrape:
“An affair which occurred early yester
day morning on Chamberlain street is sur
rounded by mystery. Two soldiers of the
First Georgia, both of whom, it is supposed
were privates, were severely wounded, one
of them mortally. Fayette Jones, white,
an employe of the Knoxville Brewing Co.,
cut both of the soldiers, and from the facts
which can be learned of the affray, the ac
tion which he took was forced upon him.
“The mysterious part of the affair lies in
the labduction of the men who were injur
ed. They were taken away from the place
‘wnere the cutting occurred before rhe am
bulance, which had been ordered tc carry
the to the division hospital, had time to ar
rive.
•’ Major Allen, F'rst Pennsylvania, pro
vost marshal, is investigating the tnstrer
He has not as yet, however, learned either
the names of the officers who spirited the
men away or the names of the soldiers
who were cut.
Jones, Who did the cutting, went across
from the brewery 'to the place of “Rocky”
Turner, which is situated on Chamberlain
street, to ask something about an order for
beer which had been received at the brew
ery.
“When Jones entered there was a half
dozen First Georgia men standing around.
One of them commenced abusing the brew
ery employe and the half dozen jumped
him a short time later. Jones ran and took
refuge inside the brewery. Two of the sol
diers, more adventurous than their com
rades, followed and pressed the fight. Then
it was that Jones pulled his knife and com
menced cutting. He laid one of the men
low wih two or three ugly gashes in the
right side. The other received a bad cut
in the head and when the injured men
were seen by Lieutenant Goolsbe of the po
lice force, a few minute later, the one who
had been cut on the body was in a danger
ous condition. It was reported yesterday
afternoon that he was dead, but a visit to
the undertaking establishment failed to lo
cate his remains.
“Lieutenant Goolsbe arrested Jones just
as he was about to leave for Lutrell, Tenn.,
where his wife lives. He was taken to the
jail and will be held until a thorough ex
amination can be made of the affair.

INFORMATION FROM
WASHINGTON
On Anv Subject Can Be Ob
tained from a Well Known
and Reliable Source.
Mr. Claude N. Bennett, manager of the
Congressional Information Bureau, of
Washington, D. C., is registered at the La
nier.
Mr. Bennett is well known to Georgia as
a newspaper man through his connection
with the Atlanta Journal. The .Congres
sional Information Bureau which he help-d
to launch from the national capital upon
congress and the public last winter, is one
of the few new things that has lately ap
peared in Washington.
The idea that busy congressmen often
need a vast deal of material from the pub
lic and other records, to be used in their
speeches, campaigns and public documents,
and that they have not time to dig it out,
led Mr. Bennett and his associates to es
tablish this bureau as a sort of general
secretaryship to congress. In this field it
at once began to grow and flourish. Or
ders came in, too, from prominent men
not in congress for various compilations
upon many subjects and the institution be
came ambitious to act as reference bureau
for the country at large. It now under
takes to supply anybody with information
of any sort on any subject.
For instance, if a lecturer is writing a
lecture, if an author Is writing a book, if
a man thinks he is a son of the Revolu
tion and wants to prove it, if a profession
al man or a scientist is working up a sub
ject and needs references upon it, if one
wants to know the status or progress of
any bill in congress, or the standing of a '
matter before the departments, or if he Is i
interested in pensions or patents or what !
not, this bureau will undertake to supply
his needs.
“We are not all-wise,” said Mr. Bennett,
“but hardly anything can arise which some |
one does not know or some book does not j
contain. Our advantage consists in know- ;
ing the sources of information, and if we 1
get anything we can’t hndle we know who
can and we enlist his services at once. We
have received some very queer orders, but
w have so far filled them all."
Same as the Genuine
Montevallo.
We, the following committee represent
ing the miners employed by ‘the Monte
vallo Lump Coal Mining Co., and who for
merly have been in the employ of the
Montevallo Coal and Transportation Co.
of Aldrich, Ala., and who have had from
six to ten years knowledge of mining in
the latter company’s mine, hereby testify
that the coal that is being mined by the
Montevallo Lump Coal Mining Co. is the
SAME GRADE of coal as the GENUINE
MONTEVALLO, which has been mined by
the Montevallo Coal and Transportation
Go., of Aldrich, for thirty years.

MEETING HELD LAST SIGHT.
To Take Ud the Matter of a Recep
tion to Soldiers—Committee
Appointed to Take Charge.’
The following telegram was received
this morning-
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 17 —The First
Georgia is every day expecting orders to
move to Macon, to be mustered out.
The board of surgeons which is examin
ing all the army camps is still here.
A meeting of the Macon Volunteers was
held at their armory last night for the pur
pose of plans to entertain the
Macon boys « hen they arrive at home and
if the whole regiment was stationed heTe
to co-operate with the citizens.
Lieutenant Bob Hazlehurst was in
charge of the meeting and he stated what
the purpose of the meeting was. There was
some uncertaint v as to whether the regi
ment would come as a whole or whether
the Macon companies alone would come.
A committee was appointed to arrange for
the reception of the Macon boys and if the
regiment came they were to co-operate
with the citizens in getting up a commit
tee. The committee is as follows: Messrs.
Woodruff, Turpin, Dunwoody, Jones and
Smith.
The committee began work this morning
and they, intend to give the boys a big
send off .They propose to show them that
the homefolks have not entirely forgotten
them and that if they were neglected
while in camp they will make up for it
new.
The homecoming of the soldier boys will
be a great thing and Macon is going to
celebrate it in the best manner she knows
how. Lieutenant Hazlehurst says that If
the people are going to do anything /or
the boys that they should remember that
as the men will be on traveling rations,
which consists of hard tack and banned
meets. He says that the boys will be
hungry when they reach here and that
they will appreciate food more than any
thing else.

sult of the sale of the electric plamt, be in
vested. They say that the number of re
ceiver’s certificates, which were issued a
few months ago is not enough to complete
the work and they want the money real
ized by ithe sale reinvested so that the com
pany can carry on the work and build a
new and sufficient water tower at Vine
ville.
They pray that this money be invested
for the benefit of the security holders and
the betterment of the company, and the re
tirement of receiver’s certificates as soon
as they fall due.
They ask that an order be granted from
the court giving them the authority to in
vest the money or such a part of it to com
plete the work and to build a new water
tower in Vineville.
That the money left over be used in pay
ing th receiver’s certificates as they fall
due.
A rule nisi has been granted by Judge
Speer for the parties at interest to show
cause why the petition should not be
granted.
Receiver Tinsley filed his answer to the
petition today in which he 'admitted that it
would be a good thing for the money to
be invested as the petitioners prayed. In
his petition he stated that he was very
much in favor of the plan.
The answer of the Farmers’ Loan and
Trust Company w'as also filed and they
were very much opposed to the disposal of
the money and stated that they had no
right as trustees of the company to invest
the money as sugested.
It is not known when the case will be
heard, but it will arouse a great deal of
interest. Both sides are represented by the
best law firms in the city and the case will
be hotly contested.
