I discovered in the office of the tax collector
\ of Fuiton county. No one yet believes
I that 'there can be such a deficit as that r.
/ ported. It is not merely a question of ex-
I pert bookkeeping. Tbe system in the
.State governing tax credits on the collec
tors’ books is peculiar and it is probable
that some expert from the office of the
Comptroller General will go through the
Isooks with expert accountants, and it is
believed the deficit will be in a large
nieasure wiped out and Collector Wilson
se| straight. It is stated in the Comp
trollers office, that so far as the tax digest
shows, the Fulton collector is all square
with the State. If there is a shortage it
must come from collections from the
insolvent list, and from taxes from
property which does not appear on
the digest.
While there is a marked disposition on
the part of the public to stand by the col
lector In the belief that he is an honest
man, and that further investigation will
acquit him of wrong, it must be admitted
that the matter is in a desperate muddle,
and it will take the proverbial Philadel
phia lawyer to straighten them out.
The county commissioners concluded a
lengthy session this afternoon by removing
Tax Collector Wilson, and appointing H.
A. Boynton, a prominent wholesale mer
chant! The ir investigation shows a short
age of thirty-three thousand dollars,
against which Wilson claims a set-off of
ten thousand five hundred.
In the Criminal Superior Court to-day,
Judge Richard 11. Clark on the bench, the
case of the State against George Eddleman,
charged with murder, was taken up. The
murder is still fresh in the public mind.
In May last, in a barroom in the
basement of the James Bank block.
George Eddleman a well known real estate
agent, during an altercation shot and killed
Tom Gresham, yard master of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad. The killing
created a great sensation at the time, and
public opinion was steong agaidst Eddle
man. Especially was the feeling strong
the large number of railroad employees in
the city, and there were at the time some
threats of lynching.
The greatest interest is now manifested
in the prosecution and many friends of the
deceased were in t he court room to-day
when Die case was called. The array of
counsel on either side indicates that the
trial is to be a great legal light and its pro
gress will he closely watched by the Atlanta
public, by friends of Eddleman, friends of
the deceased, and the greater public which
believes in law and order, and to that end

Washington, Oct. 22.—Tae Inter-State
Commerce Commission to day issued an
order upon the railroad companies com

ship Association, directing them to appear
before the commission in Washington on
December IS, 1SS5, at 11 a. in., for the pur
pose of a geoerai examination and investi-
f ation of their tariffs and classifications.
I he order is based upon an inspection of
the tariffs and clarifications, and upon
information and complaints filed from
time to time iu the office of the commission,
from which it appears, among other things,
that the companies named in the order in
many cases make a greater charge for the

Tue case was that of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., plaintiff' in error against
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

Court of the State of Pennsylvania.
The Commonwealth levied the tax
on all telegrams passing over the
Company’s lines within the State, this
tax being imposed in regard to the fact
that much business was uot confined
wholly to the State, hut was to points in
other States. The Supreme Court to-day

the State was not entitled to collect tax ex

the borders of the State, and accordingly

politicians of to-day, she said, would never
proclaimed on all hands by the Democrats
that iron ore must be free, for iron ore lay
at the base of all forms of iron and steel
fabrics, and its price must be lowered.
But it was found that Mr. Barnum, of Con

National Committee, was the owner of one
of the largest mines of iron ore in mentioned had never denounced the out-

Justice Lamar Gives an Opinion on a Case
Under the Iowa Prohibitoii Law.
Washington, Oct. 22.—The Supreme
Court to-day sustained the constitutionali
ty of the prohibition law of Iowa. The
point at issue was the right to manufact
ure intoxicating liquors, solely for expor
tation to other States, despite the State
law, and it was pleaded that the prohibito
ry feature in so tar as the manufacture for
exportation is concerned, was in conflict
with the constitutional provisions, giving
Congress the sole right to regulate inter
state commerce.
The case is that of J. S. Redd, distiller,
plaintiff in error* against I. E. Pierson and
S. J. Laughras. '’’he court holds that the
State law prohibiting both the manufac
ture and sale, except for mechanical, me-
uefarious liquor traffic. Miss Willard here
read a telegram saying that the United
States Supreme Court had just affirm; d
the constitutionality of the Iowa law pro
hibiting the manufacture of liquors. Judge
Lamar handed down the decision. [Ap

Committee, Mr. Brice, with his political
associates, owned and controlled a road
which derived large sums from the trans
portation of this ore. It was further
known that Mr. Smith Weed, one of the
1 most prominent New York Demo-
! crats, was largely interested in
iron ore and in the manufacture
of iron. Upon the statement of those
facts the Democratic* Ways and Means
Committee at once abandoned the idea of
putting iron ore on the free list. They
abandoned it not because they thought
the step unjust, but because they found it
would injure the business interests of
prominent Democrats.”

CRIME IN WORTH COUNTY.
X Store Hnrghtrl/.od and a Negro Shot -A
Cl md of Mystery—Other News.
Tv Ty, Ga., Oct. 21.—A negro was killed
at Sumner, Worth county, on Tuesday
night last The coroner’s jury rendered a
verdict that death ensued irom the effects
of a gunshot wound inflicted by some par
ty to them unknown".* It seetu that on
Monday night that the store of Mr. Jack
Harkins, at Sycamore, was broken into
ami a lot of merchandise taken therefrom
and that a posse of citizens tracked the
burglar across Little river, in the direction
of Sumner, until they came within a few
miles of Sumner where they lost the track
of the man. Late that night a gang of ne
groes were playing cards in a house in
Sumner,when some man walke i in and this
negro jumped up and started to run to
ward* a bank near by, but was shot be
fore he found cover. The negroes name
is still unknown. It is also unknown
whether he was the one suspected of bur
glarizing Harkins’store, and then there is
no evidence that the man hunting the
burgler went into Sumner. There is quite
a mystery connected with the case.
Mrs. Nancy Taylor, who was stricken
last Saturday with apoplexy, is still lying
in a very critical condition with but little
hopes of her recovery.

“Color Blind Law” of Alabama Sustained.
Washington, Oct. 22.—The Supreme
Court ot the United States to-day rendered
a decision .in the case of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway Com
pany, plainiiff’ in error, against the State
of Alabama, commonly known as a “color
blindness” case. The case involves the con
stitutionality of the law of Alabama forbid
ding the employment of persons on a rail
road within theState who are affected with
color blindness and defective vision, and
requiring the railroad employees to have
their sight tested by the board of experts.
The Supreme Court of Alabama upheld
the constitutionality of the law, and this
court affimed thatdecision. The principal
ground on which the railroad company
attacked the law was that it was repugnant brig to
to a clause of constitution granting to I taken

The funeral took place with high Ma
sonic honors in Immanuel Baptist church,
one of the most prominent congregations
in the city. The church was crowded to
overflowing. Dr. Lorimer pronounced the
eulogy and his eloquence had already
greatly wrought upon the au
dience when he said: “I see
in the dead before me the arraignment
of civil service, I think as he lies there he
declares tne failure of the system. Our
ideal is still beyond our intellect, nor will
the civil
service untii preferment.*?nal! be given
upon the scale of talem ana fitness.”
There was a moment of silence, and
then the big church rang with an unre
strained outDurst of applause. The
Knights Templars, in regalia, and Dlaiu
business meD. alike excitedly shouted ap
proval, notwithstanding the sacred sur
roundings, and the presence of tne dead.
Dr. Laremer besought order, saying
not here, not here; but,
adding, had thus loved and lovable man
had his just deserts, he would still be act

mourning for the dead postmaster of Chi

and was on a visit to his father’s family.
He and Erskine Carter were life-long
friends and were frequently together.
Or. last night they, together with
other young men of the town, were
out rather late and in an obscure part of
the town, when young Carter drew his pis

shot in the back, the ball passing clear
through his body and coming out at his
right breast. Mr. Duke Davis, coroner,
had summoned a jury and after taking all

Snow. Snow, Beautiful Snow.
Minneapolis, Oct. 22.—There was a
heavy suow storm in North Minnesota
yesterday, and the snow lies deeper
and heavier iu that section than at any
time before at this season for years. At
the lowest estimate the snow is thirteen
inches deep, and in the woods, back of El
liott. it lies twelve inches on a level. There
was no wind, and consequently no drift
ing. Some snow fell in Central Minnesota
and North Dakota, on Saturday, buc it
melted almost as soon as it fell. It snowed
all yesterday at Farigo. but reports from
there say there is but little on the ground.
There was no snow here. In Northern
Iowa there were slight falls of snow, out
at no points is it reported more than two

Drowned iu Sawdust.
St. Louis, Oct. 22 —Wiliiam H. Buecker,
one of the oldest employes in the Scliulen-
berg & Bueckler planing mill, at the foot
of St. Louis avenue, was suffocated this
morning in the shaving and sawdust tower.
The sawdust and shavings from every de
partment of the mill are carried to the
tower and the stuff is there sold in wagon
loads to regular customers. For a number
of years Buecker has held the position of
seller and was at his old stand when in
| some unaccountable manner he fell back
wards into the pit and before he could ex
tricate himself from the yielding matter he
was suffocated. He was forty-eight years
ofage. He had been working in the mill
i since a boy.
The Chinese are Frauds.

saye he is satisfied that all of the men are
f.-auds. and are barred out by theexclu-

eases next Wednesday, and in the mean
time. the Chinese will remain in the coun

Murdered the Chief of Police.
CP.OOKSTON, Minn., Oct. 20.—While
: Chief of Police Hayes was engaged in con
versation with a number of friends last
night a tramp came up beaind him drew
Mr. Blaine then proceeded: “Another
case comes very near to you in Buffalo.
Cements—Roman, Portland and all others
—was put on the free list in the or ginal
draft of the Mills bill. It was taken off and
restorea to its old duty at the instance and
by the influence of your fellow citizen,
Hon. Daniel Lockwood, United States Dis
trict Attorney. Mr. Lockwood appeared
as stockholder in the cement company, or
attorney for the stockholders, I know not
which, but he succeeded in removing
cement from the free list, not simply be
cause it was right, to do so, but because
Mr. Lockwood is an influential Democrat.
! Wood pulp is treated as raw,material, and
was put on the free list in the Mills bill as
i originally framed, but it was soon discov-
! ered that Dan M. Dickinson, Postmaster-
i General, and I. M. Weston, chairman of
j the Democratic State Committee of Michi
gan, owned a valuable patent for an im
provement for the manufacture of the
wood pulp which was put on the free
list, and so back went the
] former duty on wood pulp,
1 and the value of Don Dickinson’s patent
i was preserved to him by his Democratic
associates of tbe House of Representatives,
j Mark you, the duty was not restored be-
j cause in the belief of the Democratic Com
mittee of the Ways and Means’ sound poli-
' cy require so, but it was restored because
they did not want to do harm to leading
i Democrats, who were expected to deliver
j the electoral vote of Michigan to President
i Cleveland.
In like manner, according to Mr. Blaine,
marble was taken from the free list and
made dutiable at tne instance of Bradley
B. Smalley, keeper of the Democratic
conscience in Vermont. Glue was treated
likewise because it was made almost ex-
i clusively by a Democratic syndicate in
the West, and by the Democratic heirs of
Peter Cooper, of New York, in the east.
Wood screws underwent a similar change
! because their manufacture is largely
in Decoratic hands in Connecticut,
and Democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee were advised that if they hoped
to carry Connecticut for Mr. Cleveland,
wood screws must be left alone.
This great, odious monopoly, as they
had for so many years described it, and
denounced it, was left undisturbed by the
tariff reformers, aud with all the naked
and time-honored abuses which they had
imputed to it. I am not at all expressing
dissatisfaction with the conclusions which
the Democrats of the Ways and Means
Committee reached on these several cases,
said Mr. Blaine, but I am proving
from the changes in their own bill, in its
different stages, that they shifted around
aud dickered on various provisions in it
just as the personal and pecuniary inter
ests of the leading Democrats outside of
Congress demanded, and that in several
important departments of manufacturing
they shaped their action, and reached their
conclusions without the slightest regard

for tbe day Mr. Webster was apparently
only a small way advanced in the presen
tation of his case. The vagueness and gen
eral character of his statement left an im
pression that the Times has no absolutely
legal proof of the truth of its charges. In
stead ot producing evidence that
Mr. Parnell and his associates were
accomplices before or after the fact
with the Phoenix Park irurderers,
he will attempt to justify tho Times accu
sations by raking up outrages attributed
to members of the league, and trying to
connect them with the Parnellites.
Mr. Webster seemed to be hampered by
carrying himself beyond a most cautious
statement. He spoke in his worst form,
prosing along in a dreary monotone, with
out the lea-it display of rhetoric. There
was an utter absence of points in his state
ments, and his exposition of the Times
case was generally a disconnected one.
