PITMAN'S SORRY PLIGHT.
HIS DOWNFALL. CAUSED BY RASH
SPECULATION.
Money Taken from the Ctty Treasury
of Albany for the Purpoee-When
the Time Came He Was Unable to
Replace It-Hia Wife Sticks to Him.
Albany, Ga„ May 2,-Tbe News corre
spondent is now a* le to give the particulars
in the matter of City Treasurer Gary Pit
man’s shortage, mention cf which has been
made in the papers heretofore. When the
rumor first started everybody here hoped
that it was untrue, and that Mr. Pitman,
who stood high in the business and social
circles of the city, would show up all right.
K. M. Mclntosh went to Nottingham, Ala,
where Mr. Pitman .had recently moved, to
investigate the matter.
A SHORTAGE OF $7,000 OB SB,OOO.
On his return here this afternoon it was
learned that the rumor was true, and that
Mr. Pitman had fled, leaving a defalcation
of $7,000 or SB,OOO. The cause of his short
age is foolish investments in lands at Not
tingham, using the city’s money, which he
was not able to replace. Pitman was en
gaged in too many branches of business,
having an interest in the brick business,
boing cashier of the Nottingham bank and
treasurer of Albany. This office he recently
turned over to a deputy, who, it is rumored,
discovered the shortage. Mr. Pitman had
is many friends in this city as anybody.
SELF-EVIDENT.
They say that he was foolish in speculat
ing with the city’s money and still more
foolish in not facing the music when he
saw he was into it. He also got the Notting
ham bank fur SI,BOO which he drew on it for
in Chattanooga while he was making his
way to parts unknown. While he was in
Chattanooga he wired his wife that he
either had to leave the country or go to the
penitentiary, and that she could go back to
her people or go with him. The poor little
woman was broken-hearted, but she went
withjhim.
MAY RECOVER $4,500.
Some think the city will regain $4,500 of
the shortage, owing to the fact that before
Pitman got so deeply Involved and while
actiug as cashier of the Nottingham bank
he sent his deputy here a certificate of
deposit for $4,500. His deputy sent the
certificate back to him and told him to for
ward the money to the National Park Bank
of New York to the credit of the
Albany Commercial Back. Mr. Pitman
wired the deputy that he had done
so, but "now the Nottingham
bank claims that there is no record of the
transaction, and that Pitman got it for
SB,OOO. This statement is not given much
credence, for it is believed that Pitman car
ried only the SI,BOO with him. His bonds
men here are not making any efforts to
capture him, and it is thought they will pay
the forfeit and let the matter drop.
TALKS TO THE TEACHERS.
Chancellor Boggs and Prof. ;Whlte
Take up Important Subjects.
Columbus, Ga., May 2.—To-day closes
the largest and most successful session ever
known in the history of the teachers’ asso
ciation. Great good has been accomplished
and Bteps were taken to broaden the public
Interest in education.
Mr. Northen introduced a resolution
looking to the union of the teachers,’and
the farmers’ exhibition at the state fair,
and it was met with approval
Prof. Charles Lane delivered another of
his characteristic addresses, which was very
much enjoyed.
Chancellor Boggs spoke on the study of
ethics, viewed as a part of a liberal educa
tion. He said reason and faith are brothers
and there should be no conflict. The study
of ethics proves the truth of Christianity.
The laxity in our daily life is due to a want
of a proper emphasis of the study of ethics.
The address was a strong plea for increased
moral instruction, and it was well received.
AN ADDRESS ON PUNISHMENT.
The lecture of the day was an address by
Hon. E. E. White of Ohio, on the subject
of punishment. It was a masterly effort,
and its practical character was a leading
feature. He said that character training is
the central duty of the school, and punish
ment should bo considered in relation to this
end. The vice of the schools of to-day is
crank teaching. To prevent wrong doing
is the end to be attained. The three objects
to be attained in punishment are to reform
the wrong doer, to deter others, and to con
demn wrong doing. We should educate
conscience against w rong doing. To attain
these ends the punishment should be of a
three-fold character. It must be certain, it
must be just, it must be natural. A disre
gard of these principles was the fault of the
old teachers. The punishment should be
natural. Dot artificial, and should follow as
a natural consequence of wrong doing.
Keen teachers would find a natural remedy
lying side by side with every error.
MORAL SUASION.
He believed in the high motives of moral
suasion, but when these fail he said it was
not on* - she right, but the duty of the
teachei to use proper punishment. He
characterized as the utmost folly the action
of boards of education entirely prohibiting
its use. It was a great injustice to the
teacher and an irreparable wrong to the
pupils. He condemned punishment upon
the head, personal indignities, ridicule, sar
casm, and unmanly epithets. The address
was a powerful one, and its high source
carried conviction with it.
A fine educational exhibit was made from
every section of the state.
The meeting has beea one of entire har
mony throughout.
The association adjourned to-day. The
next place of meeting is left in the hands of
the board of directors, Brunswick being
the first choice.

STRIKES AND DAMAGE TO CROPS
ACT AS A CHECK.
Speculative Markets Also Less Buoy
ant Than They Were When Silver
Legislation Was More Certain—The
General Average of Prices Nearly
One Per Cent. Lower than a Week
Ago.
New York, Mav 2.—The weekly review
of trade of R. G. Dun & Cos., issued to-day,
is as follows:
Tne pr spects of silver legislation having
become less distinct some of the speculative
markets have reacted from the recent ad
vance. At the sarao time the outlook for
industries and legitimate trade is distinctly
unfavorable, owing to the damage to wheat
and cotton and labor disturbaaces. The
accounts of injury to winter wheat grow
more definite and foreshadow a lower offi
cial report than that of last month. The
general average of prices is nearly 1 per
cent lower than a week ago, not
withstanding a rise of 3)4 in wheat,
due to the reports of injury.
The sales here were 24,000,000
bushels, and the experts both of corn and
wheat and flour continue large. Corn
made no advances during the week, and
oats declined 34- Pork and lard were ad
vanced a little by speculation, and oil rose 3
cents. Cotton rose 3-16, with sales here of
575.000 bales, the receipts and export* again
falling below those of last year.
IRON LOWER.
Iron was lower at Pittsburg, but with
more sales, and not changed at Philadel
phia, but southern blocks were sold here at
sl6 75 for No. 1. Steel rails are quoted at
$33, buyers claiming further concessions,
the market for bar iron is languid, for
plates only fair and for structural not up to
expectations.
Reports from other cities are generally
favorable as to the volume of business, and
bank clearings show an increase over last
yearef 10 per cent. At Boston wool is
stronger on some grades that are scarce,
and a better demand is seen, the sales reach
ing 2,900,000 pounds, and yet no improve
ment whatever is detected in the market
for goods there or here. The difficulties in
the clothing trade do not abate, and appre
hension of more failures causes an uneasi
ness in this and other cities. Chicago reports
the usual increase in the movement of
grain and meats and increasing sales of dry
goods, but a stagnant clothing trade. At
Pittsburg manufactured iron is “in the
dumps.”
THE MONEY MARKET STEADY'.
Money has not been disturbed this week,
holding steadily at 4 per ceut. on call here,
easier at Philadelphia and in fair supply at
other cities at rates as usual. There is
much less complaint of slow collections
throughout the northwest, but considerable
iu some lines at Philadelphia, Boston, and
New York. Good crops and large sales ot
farm products have made things compara
tively easy at the west, but the effects of
two successive open winters are felt in tne
eastern markets.
The advance in the Pennsylvania divi
dend does much to encourage foreign buying
and the tone of the market is de
cidedly strong, but the exports of ail pro
ducts from New York are 18 per cent
below last year’s for April, while the im
ports have shown an increase of 18 percent.,
tacts which indicate a heavy excess of im
ports over exports for that month.
The business failures throughout the
country during the week number for the
United States 185, and for Canada,26; a total
of 211, against 218 last week.
RANDALL’S SUCCESSOR.
A Northern Man Likely to Take Eis
Vacant Committee Seat.
from the Neui York World.
XV ashington, April 26.—1 t now seems that
Speaker Reed baa been led to change his
mind in regard to the vacancy on the com
mittee on rules. He was at one time about
determined to appoint Mr. Crisp of Georgia
The gentlemen who still rally about the
fortunes of Ex-Spoaker Carlisle wanted Mr.
Mills appointed to the vacaucy. The grow
ing opposition to the ex-speaker and bis
former leader on the floor quickly
gathered about Mr. Crisp. It was realized
that Mr. Mills would not be satisfactory to
a majority of his party, and the members
of the Kentucky-Texas combination
dropped him promptly, and brought out
Mr. Blount of Georgia. This was done on
the ostensible ground that Mr. Blount was
the democratic father of the House. Mr.
Forney of Alabama is next to him in this
respect, and there has been some slight talk
of his getting the coveted honor.
The real object in bringing Mr. Blount
out, however, was to disrupt the ranks of
the Georgia delegation. To defeat Mr.
Crisp in that way would, it is thought, take
him oat of the speakership race if the next
House should happen to be democratic. It
seems t j be generally agreed that Mr. Car
lisle will not be in the race next time be
cause the situation will require a man of
more aggressive character than the Ken
tucky leader. Mr. Mills fills the bill, but so
does Mr. CrisD. He possesses all the force
of character and determination of the
Texan, with sauvity of manner which the
rugged Texan lacss. Fearing the rising
Georgian, the Kentucky-Texas coterie
brought out, as explained, Mr. Blount.
In one sense the movement has proved
successful. Not that Mr. Blount will be
appointed, for he will not be, but entering
him in the race appears to have led to Mr.
Crisp’s failure.
This contest among the members of the
southern wing of the democratic party
gave the northern democrats the idea that
they might win the prize. They began to
scheme, naming either Mr. Holman of In
diana or Mr. Springer of Illinois as their
candidate. It is now believed that the
place will be given to the one or the other
of these two.
PAY FOB HIS SCALP.
A Pretty Juet Claim for the Loss of
His Hair.
From the Globe-Democrat.
Senator Plumb has introduced a bill to
pay $5,000 to a man who was scalped. Ac
companying the affidavits and other papers
in the case is a realistic piece of evidence in
the form of a recent photograph. This pic
ture shows the head as it looks now, twenty
six years after the knife w a3 applied.
The claimant is Robert McGee. His home
is at Easton, Leavenworth county, Kansas.
In 1864 McGee was only 14 years old, but he
was rather large of his age and thought he
could induce the officers to accept him as a
recruit. He went to Fort Leavenworth and
enlisted. When the mustering came on
McGee was rejected, but was given a place
as teamster by a contractor who
was about to take a wagon
train of government supplies from
Fort Leavenworth to Fort Union, in
New Mexico. McGee was an orphan. He
had no home to which he could return and
friends with whom he could advise. He
took the position of team-tor under the im
pression that he was still in the govern
ment service, although he had been rejected
as a soldier. Near what is now the flourish
ing city of Larned the wagon train was
wiped out by Little Turtle’s Dand of Indi
ans. McGee was the only survivor. He
was scalped and left on the ground for
dead. This happened on July 11,
1864. The terrible ordeal left the boy shat
tered in health. For many years he made
a living by exhibiting his* scarred crown,
and now he appeals to the government, not
for a pension, but for the lump sum of
15,000. The claim comes under the classifi
cation of Indian depredations, although
there is nothing just like it on the records.
The papers are now in the hands ot the
select committee on Indian deprodation
claims.
Spring
Pflddicine
At no other season does the humAQ system so
much need the aid of a reliable spring medicine
like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as now. The impover
ished condition of the blood, the weakening
effects of the unhealthful winter, the host appe
tite, and that tired feeling, ail make a good
spring medicine absolutely necessary. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted for this pur
pose, and increases in popularity every year.
Give it a trial.

“I have been suffering more or less with dys
pepsia and liver difficulty for a long time.
Being handed one of Hood's Sarsaparilla pam

than I have been for twenty years. I can safely
recommend the medicine.” Q. G. James,

“My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof

oil till she became 6 yesrs of age. Lumps
formed In her neck, and one of them, after
growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became a
running sore for over three years. We gave her
Hood*s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all in
dications of scrofula entirely disappeared, and
now she seems to be a healthy child." J. S.
Carlile, Nauright, N. J.
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Has a record of cures of Scrofula and other
blood diseases never equaled by any other prep
aration. The most severe cases yield to this
remedy when others have failed to have the
slightest effect. Hereditary scrofula, which
clings to the b’ood with the greatest tenacity, is
cured by this peculiar medicine. Its many re
markable cures have won for Hood's Sarsapar
illa the title of “The greatest blood purifier ever
discovered.”
EViakes the

“Last Spring I seemed to be running down in
health, was weak and tired all the time. I took
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it did me a great deal

Hood's Sarsaparilla did more good than any

and tired and unable to sleep nights. I tried all
kinds of medicines, but none did me any good

used two bottles I was entirely well and in as
good health as ever.” George H. Maurer, 703

OBITUARY.
GEORGIA INFIRMARY. I
Savannah. Ga., April 28, 1890. f
The committee appointed at the last meeting
to draft resolutions appropriate to the occasion
of the death of Mr. George L. Cope, one of the
members of the Board of Trustees of the Geor
gia Infirmary, beg to submit the following re
port:
Mr. Cope’s connection with the Board of
Trustees of the Georgia Infirmary commenced
on the occasion of the organization of a hospi
tal association in 1869, for the purpose of mak
ing provision for the comfort and care of sick
and impoverished colored persons, which asso
ciation was merged into the Georgia Infirmary,
which wa3 incorporated in 1832, and the char
ter of which organization, although long dis
used, was found to cover all the objects and
necessities of the proposed association.
A few benevolent gentlemen manifested an
earnest interest in the successful establishment
of a hospital for colored persons, and contrib
uted liberally from their own private funds. A
donation of ten thousand ($10,000) dollars from
Mr. Eiward Padelford. formerly a partner of
Mr. Cop-, and constituting ODe of the largest
commercial houses in the south, and a donation
of one thousand ($1,000) dollars from Mr. L.
Marquand of New York was placed in the
hands of Mr. John Stoddard. Mr. George L.
Cope and Capt. L G. Mills, for the sole purpose
of erecting a suitable building to meet the usual
requirements for the comfort and welfare of
the sick. Under such advice as was obtained
the committee entered upon the duties devolv
ing upon them, and soon afterward the present
building, constituting, however, only oaf wing
of the building contemplated, was turned over
by the committee aforesaid. It is gratifying,
also, to report that the committee were elected
and accepted membership upon the Board, and
while physical infirmities prevented Mr. Cope
from participating in the regular meetings of
the Board, he was always ready and willing to
render his matured counsel, and to assist in tue
advancement yf the interests of the institution
iu every way in his power.
Recognizing tne appropriateness of record
ing upon the minute book of this association
expressions of the esteem entertained for Mr.
Cope by ttie members of the Board, be it
Resolved, 1. That in the death of Mr. Cope
this Board expresses its profound sorrow, and
will always cherish for his memory the same
unqualified respect which his daily life and vir
tues commanded.
2. That we tender to bis family our warmest
sympathies, wh.ch, while it will neither lessen
nor diminish the grief and sorrow which his
death has brought upon them, will always
afford the comforting reflection to them that
as one of our oldest and most prominent citi
zens he was universally held in the highest
esteem.
3. That the necessary space upon our minute
book be set apart for the purpose of inscribing
his name, age, and date of death, together with
this report.
4. That a copy of this report be forwarded to
the widow and family of Mr. Cope, and also
published in the Daily News.
Respectfully submitted,
T. J. Charlton,
J. B. Read.
R. D. Walker,
Committee.
