A BOOM FORTHE CENTRAL
.8 500,000 OP " sAVANNAH AND
W ESTERN BONDS SOLiD.
At Least That is What a Rumor on
Wall Street Claims-The Securities
Guaranteed by the Central—German
Bankers the Alleged Takers-Louis
ville and Nashville’s Rise.
New York, April 22.—1 t was reported
on Wall street to-day that the Central Rail
road and Banking Company of Georgia had
Jugt perfected the sale of *8,500,000 worth
of 5 per cent, bonds to the great German
hanking house of Kuhn, Loob & Cos. The
created considerable talk and was
acknowledged on all sides as the strongest
evidence of the established confidence in
first-class southern railroad securities,
j.-bn H. Hall, president of the Georgia
company, and other gentlemen prominently
identified with the Georgia Central railroad,
W ere seen and asked about tho big
negotiation, hut not one of them would
talk They all decline positively to discuss
the matter in detail, and in fact refused to
either confirm or deny tho report.
NOT ALL SMOKE.
The News correspondent, however, is
satisfied that it is not a case of all smoke
*.'il no tire. A negotiation no doubt has
hee l made, but the contracting parties will
not state the amount of the b aids involved
nor the terms on which they were sold.
Th is important fact, however, has trans
pired—the bonds are not of the Georgia
Central proper, but of the Savannah and
Western railroad (that is, the old Columbus
gnu Western), and are simply to be guar
anteed bv the Central.
LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE.
It is rather extraordinary that in addition
to this big deal in southern railroad bonds,
another southern railroad should havo cut
a conspicuous figure on Wall street to-day.
The L .uisville and Nashville led the market
on the stock exchange and scored
tiie best advance of any stock
on the list. It sold at 06%, the
highest point it has touched for a long time
and the trading in it was much heavier than
usual. The vigorous buying is -aid to be
largely for foreign account and likewise by
strong friends of the property nearer homo.
It is whispered around that President Nor
ton will very soon advocate tho resumption
of cash dividends.
A BOLD ROBBER’S BIG HAUL.
At Least $6,000 or SB,OOO Secured
in a Railroad Depot.
Gallatin, Mo., April 22. —One of tho
1 oldest railroad robberies ever perpetrated
hy a single robber in Mi-s iuri occurred at
Pattonshurg, on tho Wabash road, Fri
day night, and tho news has just leaked
out. About 9 o’clock Friday night one
entered the station at Pattonsburg, covered
the agent, who was the only person in the
station, with a pistol, and demanded the
key, which he received. He then made
the agent occupy a given position and pro
ceeded to plunder the safe. He cleaned it
cut vf everything valuable, securing money
i -timated at from *6,000 to * 10.000. Among
tm booty was one express package of $6,000,
a letter addressed to the Pattonshurg Bank
containing SI,OOO and a number of express
packages. He also took all the express,
fnightand local funds, and robbed the agent
of his own money and valuables. The
robber then backed out of the station,
no a; ted a horse and rode away. Tho agent
at once notified Superintendent McGee of
the Wabash and Western railroad. Mr.
McGee communicated with detectives in
St. Louis and a search for the robber was
sa.teJ, which has been without success.

denying his oharges and saying: “Ex-con
gressman Robert Smalls has not been slan
dered, nor is tho charge that ho aided the
democracy even to tho extent of their bal
lot box stuffing and false counts untrue,
and no one regrets it more than I. The
personnel of the convention which he de
nounces was the same as those from which
Gen. Smalls has received all of his honors,
for there have been few changes politically
in my county for many years. It is a
county that has the proud recond of never
having furnished a defaulting officer or one
that could truthfully be charged with any
species of dishonesty.
THE SAME OLD GANG.
The oounty ticket was the same with the
exception of the sheriff that received the
uuimous support of the republican conven
tions and voters for four previous elections.
At each of these elections Gen. Smalls was
a candidate for congress and by his voice and
eehosupported those whom at this late day
he has seen fit to abuse. While Smalls was
a candidate for office these men were .good
and honest. A soon as he was defeated he
becomes suddenly too virtuous to vote for
his former p litieal friends, among whom
were those who had risked their lives to se
cure his political advancement.”

DURHAM OUT OF OFFICE.
A LIVELY DISAGREEMENT WITH
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Differences Over the Election Ac
counts of John I. Davenport, of New
York, Alleged as the Immediate
Cause of the Resignation Other
Reasons Also Alleged.
Washington, April 22.— Comptroller
Durham severed his connection with the
treasury department to-day. He tendered
his resignation on the change of the ad
ministration, and it was accepted by Sec
retary Windom to-day, to take effect at
once. There are several explanations for
this action. The one generally accepted
by those supposed to he acquainted
with the inside facts is that the
first comptroller has taken a
position on several official matters entirely
at variance with the views of the present
administration. The immediate cause of
the change is due to a personal misunder
standing bet ween Attorney General Miller
and First Comptroller Durham in regard
to the accounts of John I. Davenport as
supervisor of elections in New York. ThA
latter recently presented vouchers aggre
gating $3,200 for extraordinary expenses
incurred during the last presidential elec
tion.
AN OPEN RUPTURE.
These were being examined by tho first
comptroller and he signified his intention
to disallow them. He had several confer
ences with the Attorney General on the
subject, which resulted in open rupture be
tween the two officials, so much so that the
first comptroller on Friday last ignored
two requests from the Attorney General to
call at his office. Supervisor Davenport’s
accounts were then taken out of his hands
and turned over to tho Attorney General,
where they now are. Secretary Windom
said this afternoon that he had
accepted Secretary Durham’s resignation
in the ordinary course of business and not
because of any fault with the latter’s official
conduct, but because of several newspaper
articles reflecting upon the administration
which are said to havo been inspired by tho
first comptroller. These attributed senti
ments to the first comptroller which, if
true, must have made it unpleasant for him
to continue in office under the existing cir
cumstances.
THE LAST STRAW.
It is assorted by friends of the first comp
troller that the strained relations existing
between that officer and the Attorney Gen
eral were intensified one da v last week when
the former conceived that the latter had of
fered him a gratuitous insult. They say
that Judge Durham called on the Attorney
General for a conference in regard to the
election accounts of Mr. Davenport, aud
that tho Attorney General did not treat him
properly, insomuch that when Mr. Durham
attempted to define his position in regard
to tho accounts, the Attorney General cut
him short and began a general citicism of
the acts of the Cleveland administration in
its treatment of eleotion expenses.
REGISTRATION FOLLOWED.
Comptroller Durham took offense at
Attorney General Miller’s words, and, say
ing that he would not listen to any more
abuse of the Democratic party from that
source, closed the interview by taking an
abrupt departure. Subsequently, so the
story runs, the Attorney General sent to
him for the papers in the case, and he re
fused to allow them to go out of his office.
Later in the day, however, Secretary
Windom said be would like to look over
the papers, and they were sent to him.
Judge Durham did not know it at the time,
but the secretary had sent for the papers
for the purpose of turning them over to tho
Attorney General, and they are now in the
latter’s office.
HAD NOT ACTED UPON THE CASE.
It is said by the friends of Judge Durham
that he had not acted on the Davenport
case at all. The vouchers were being ex
amined in bis office, but had not been passed
upon. The first comptroller was, however,
of the opinion that the expenses covered
by them were not authorized by law, and
had about made up his mind that they
should not be allowed. This was the state
of the case when the misunderstanding
arose between himself and the Attorney
General. The latter is said to have re
garded the vouchers as oorreet in form and
law, and to have recommended their allow
ance.
MILLER’S JURISDICTION DENIED.
The first comptroller took the ground
that the attorney general had no jurisdic
tion in the matter, and that he had exceeded
his authority in indorsing bis approval on
the papers.
On the other hand, as already stated, it is
asserted that Judge Durham was not
relieved because of his position in regard to
the Davenport acoounts, but because of
newspaper publications concerning official
matters under consideration said to have
been inspired by him, and because of a
statement attributed to him that ha had
withdrawn the papers recommending ins
appointment as the democratic member of
the civil service commission for the reason
that he did not wish to have anything fur
ther to do with this administration. It is
hut fair to Judge Durham to say that he
denies having had anything whatever to do
with any of the publications complained of.
Secretary Windom declined to discuss the
matter this afternoon. Ho said that Judge
Durham has resigi.ed in good faith aud his
resignation has been accepted.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S STATEMENT.
Attorney General Miller said this even
ing that he had not asked that Comptroller
Durham’s resignation be requested, and
that he knew nothing of the comp
troller severing his connection with the
department until he saw the evening
papers. He understood that the comp
troller’s resignation had been ready for
some time and that Comptroller Durham
had expected to go out at any time. It
was true, the Attorney General said, that
there had been s me differences between
him and the comptroller in regard ti Su
pervisor Davenport’s accounts. Judge Dur
ham was not disposed to allow these ac
counts and he (Mr. Miller) thoug.it they
were proper and should be approved. It
was not true, he said, that be had cut 6hort
the comptroller while he was defining his
position in the Davenport rnattar and had
arraigned the democratic party for its con
duct toward the election supervisor*.
PRECEDENTS IGNORED.
Attorney General Miller said that while
they were taikiig over the differences be
tween tuem in regard to the Davenport ac
counts, Comptroller Durha n had said
that the last administration had
not allowed Supervisor Davenport
anything. Ho replied that he knew
that. Tho last admmstration, he
had lso said, had made a rule that super
visors ot elections should not receive pay
fur more than five days’ service and lie had
told the comptroller that he did not think
they wire warranted in making such a rule.
He thought supervisor* should be al
lowed pay for every day they served
within the te.. day limitati m tiled by
■res* up to the length of their service.
There had not been any friction between
tneiii, Mr. Miiler said, ih regard to anv
tbii g except tho Davenport accouuu. As
to Judge Durham’s withdrawing bis papers
as a candidate for civil service commis
sioner he knew nothing whatever. He did
not even know that lio was an applicant
for tte place.

GEORGIA’S CAPITAL.
The Verdict Against Washington
County’s Ex-Oollector Affirmed.
Atlanta, Ga.. April 22.—The supreme
court to-day affirmed the verdict against
Jesse Robton, ex-tax-collector of Washing
ton county, who was convicted of embez
zlement aud sentenced to three years In
the penitentiary. An application will be
made to the governor for his pardon.
In the case of Aultman vs. Masoti. from
Johnson county, the decision was affirmed.
The decision in the cose of Wiggins vs.
Norton, from DeKalb, was also affirmed.
In this case the court declined
to consider the main ground for
anew trial, that the verdict was contrary
to tho evidence because the so-called brief
of evidence eoutaiued 275 closely written
pages, made up largely of questions of the
counselors, colloquies between the counsel
and court, the wrangling of tho counselors,
the retorts of witnesses, remarks of the
stenographer and repetition of irrelevant
matter.
IGNORED A WARNING.
This case was brought up after the su
preme court bad appealed to the trial
judges and counsels to desist from
sending up such records. The 00. rt
also declined to consider eleven
other grounds of tho motion for a
new trial, becauso the judges in the court
below instead of certifying that the grounds
were true, qualified his certificate by say
ing that they were true, subject to correc
tion by the record of the proceedings as
made out by the stenographer in tha brief
of the evidence.
CLAIM OF THE JUDGES.
The supreme court judges say that it is
not their duty to go turouzh the enormous
records of the kind above described simply
to ascertain whether or not tho grounds of
a motion for anew trial are true; and that
the law requires the judge who tried the
case to do this before tho case comes to tho
supreme court.
Charles H. J. Taylor of the Atlanta bar,
ex-minister to Liberia, was admitted to
practice in tho supreme court to-day. Tay
lor is the second negro admitted in this
court, tha first being Judsou Lyons of the
Augusta bar.
Gen. W. H. W. Lee, second son of Robert
E. Lee, congressman from the Alexandria
(Virginia) (district, and his wife, are at tho

CRUELTY TO A LABORER.
The Manager of a Florida Truck Farm
Arrested.
Tavares, Fla., April 22.—1. E. Sher
man, manager of the Osceola truck farm,
belonging to Hon. Frank Jones, was ar
rested Saturday on a warrant charging
him with an aggravated assault upon
Joint Bitmark, an Austrian employed as
laborer, and Carr Carlton and Amy Carl
ton, two colored men, were ar
rested as accessories. They were brought
before Judge J. T. White, county
judge, and the hearing set for Wednesday
morning at 9 o’clock, Sherman giving bonds
for #2OO, and the two Carltons SIOO each.
Alexander St. Clair Abrams has been re
tained for the prosecution, and Johu B.
Gaines of Leesburg for the defense.
The statement of the case in
circulation here is that last Deoember
about thirty Austrians were brought from
Castle Garden, N. Y., to work on the truck
farm under contract to work for six months
at sls per month and found, their passage
money to be first deducted from their
wages, but to be paid back to them if they
worked the six months. About March 1
the men wanted a settlement and the
money due thorn, and failing to get it they
struck. The strike was led by Bitmark and
another named Mark Dudek. Bitmark bad
been in the United States about two years
and could talk English, and was in
terpreter for the others, who
had lately landed. The two
leaders were arrested on a charge mads by
Sherman, charging them with threatening
violence to some of the other workmen, and
they were bound over to keep the peace for
one year. Both were committed to Jail for
failure to give bonds, but were after
ward released, Sherman becoming
surety for them. Last Monday morning,
it is stated, Bitmark, who was working in a
ditch with the two Carltons, complained of
being sick and said the work was too hard
for him, and was beaten by them with a
shovel. On Tuesday Bitmark wa sent for
by Sherman to come to tbe office. The two
Carltons, it is alleged, had already been
called there by Sherman, and given ropes
to tie Bitmark when he came. Upon arriv
ing tbe Carltons tied him and he
was whipped. He was then put to work at
the pump, and, it is asserted, was beaten
there also. After the day’s work
was done Bitmark camo into
Tavares to get redress. His ap
pearance seemed to substantiate his story.
He was put in jail by the sheriff for safety
and Dr. J. N. Taylor sent for. who round
him suffering from internal injuries. A
preliminary warrant was got for Sberman,
and the case set (or to-day, awaiting tbero
turn home of Maj. St. Clair Abrams, who
had been telegraphed for by citizens of the
town. The charge was withdrawn, how
ever, anlanothor warrant charging a
greater offense, and also charging tho two
Carltons as accessories.
