PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS.
PAYMENT LIKELY TO BE DE
LAYED TILL FEBRUARY.
About 3,900 Claims Already on Pile
and More Coming in Every Day.
Soldiers Paid In Advance, But the
Widows Have to Wait—Plenty of
Work. ,
' Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 15.—For some time
past inquiries in large numbers have been
oomlng into the executive department in
reference to the time when the payment of
widows’ pensions will begin. Under the
law the taxes for the current year must be
paid into the treasury before the payment
of the pension claims can be allowed. The
tax collectors cannot force the paymeut of
taxes until after Dec. 83, and consequently
enough money will not have been turned
into the treasury over and above the
amount necessary to pay the current ex
penses of the government until about Feb.
1, when Capt Harrison, who attends to the
work of the pension department, says the
payment will begin.
THE CLAIMS ON FILE.
There are on file, approved and payable,
8,900 widows’ pension claims in round nam<
bers and the list is being added tat every
day.’ It will reach 4,000 by the time pay
ment is begun, which it will require $490,-
000 to meet. Underjthe law the pensions which
will be paid in February have been due
far twelve months on account of an absence
of funds to meet the claims, the widows be-
Idk paid at the end of a year, while the
soldiers, practloally speaking, got theirs In
advance.
PLENTY OF WORK.
There is a great deal of work In connect
tion with the pension department, and in
addition to this official work re
quired by the routine of the office
the state house officers every year are re
quired (o do muoh work of a personal
nature in carrying out the pension laws.
West of this falls to Controller Wright,
Capt. Tip Harrison and Hon. Bob Harde
man, the treasurer. Pensioners living at a
distance invest them with a power of attor
ney to draw their pensions for them, and
of course the money must be forwarded by
express or money order. Each one of the
three officials named has about I,<JOO
of these friends to look after, which makes
a great deal of work and responsibility
whioh they mast bear personally.
SHOT ON THE STAGE.
A Scene in a Colored Presentation of
Jesse James Proves Too Heallstlc.
Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 15.—T0-night the
dramatic talent of one of Atlanta's swell
negro churches gave a theatrical entertain
ment for the benefit of the oburch ac
Schell’s hail on Peters street. "Jesse
James” was the play and for a while the
colored actors fairly eclipsed the brilliance
of the kerosene foot lights in their efforts.
One of the climaxes of the play Is where
the noted Jes-e James kills one of his pur
suers. This was made realistic In the ex
trema Jesse was armed with an old Enfield
rifle, together with sundry other weapons.
It was thought, of course, that the gun was
loaded only with a blank charge, but when
the Jesse in blaok banged away accord
ing to the plot of the play
bis pursuer, who was a well
known negro by the name of Ed Crocket,
fell with a tragio reality that would have
been applauded by a most critical audience.
The gun had been loaded with ball, and the
leaden charge tore a dollar sized hole in
Crocket’s abdomen. It Is th ought that he
will die before morning. The supposition
is that the gun was loaded with ball by mis
take, but the detectives are looking into the
matter, having a suspicion that it may,
have been done purposely.

a star in hia face. He obtained lodging for

himself, and had about SJS left. On Sun
day morning he paid for the mule's lodging

told him to get off the mule, that there was
a reward for him. The negro jumped from
the mule and ran off, escaping to the woods,
hut leaving the mule. No one here knows
of any one losing a mule. The owner can
find the mule at the stables of Davis &
Marks.
The negro is of small rise and black,
about five feet high. It is said that he of
fered to sell the mule for a watch and SB3.

A FIG3T BARELY AVERTED.
Col. Haskell and Representative Evans
Fight a Duel of Words.
Columbia, S. C., Deo. 15.—There was al
most a personal collision in the House of
Representatives to-day. The Tillman ad
ministration had ihtrodaced a bill to change
the system of county government. CoL J.
C. Haskell, representative from Columbia,
in discussing the bill, said
that the administration was seek
ing to neutralize the power in
the hands of the governor. "It smacks,”
said he, "too clearly of certain administra
tion measures which, last year, under the
prostitution of high office, were rushed
through this House.” CoL Haskell then re
ferred to Representative John Gary Evans
of Aiken as the "administration whip,’’
saying he was “peculiarly suited by shape
and appearance" for “whipping
in” the followers of the ad
ministration. He then lannobed out
into a stinging excoriation of the admin
istration, saying; "It looks as If it desired
to make one voice all powerful and one arm
all potent In every province which by right
belongs to the people." He oompared the
present administration with the previous
regime, saying that honest men who had
plaoed the state in the best condition it bad
ever lean In had been foully slandered, and,
on the cry of the demagogue,
dropped as unprofitable servants, and
now after twelve months of the Till
man administration the state has lost $160,-
000 phosphate royalty and her bonds are
below par.”
EVANS USES EPITHETS.
Mr. Evans, replying, said that he flung
back in the teeth the insinuations of "this
man, who speaks as the ass he is in a lion’s
skin."
CoL Haskell retorted; "I will say that
these opprobrious epithets must cease."
Evans then alluded to CoL Haskell as a
wasp, which, when crushed, turned its tail
with a deadly sting. Referring to the com
ing of the Tlllmanltes into power, he said
that the people had ’’ whipped CoL Haskell
and his crowd from these halls, which shonl i
have been sacred.” Ho said Col. Haskell
had attacked the chief execu
tive because the latter had struck
at corporations in whioh CoL Haskell was
iudlvidualy interested. CoL Haskell replied
that this was absolutely false. Ho said that
he would treat with contempt the flings of
"the youngster who in his wildest moments
would nor attempt to substantiate what ho
had said.” The speaker here interfered and
restored order.
STOCK EXCHANGE QUOTATIONS.
Fight of the Telegraph Companies to
Seoure Them.
New York, Deo. 15.—Messrs. Dillon and
Bwayno, counsel for the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Gold and Stock
Telegraph Company, have obtained from
Judge Blsohoflf, of the court of oommon
pleas, an order returnable on Deo. 17, re
quiring Watson B. Dickerman, as presi
dent of the stock exohange, and the New
York Quotation Company, to show cause
why they should not be punished for
contempt for violating tbe injunction re
straining any interference with the plain
tiffs’ tiekers. General Superintendent
Tinker of the telegraph companies says the
injunction was served on George W. Elv,
secretary of tbe str ck exchange, about 10
o’clock on the 14th Inst., and that after the
close of the exchange on Saturday, the 12th,
and before the opening of the 14th, the ex
change had cut the plaintiffs' wires and
has since ceased and refused to
furnish quotations to the plaintiffs. Since
the service of the injunction the exchange
has withheld its supply of quotations. F. O.
Ivodvard, counsel for the exchange, and
Secretary Ely gave Mr. Tinker to under
stand that the exchange would not restore
the ticker, and maintained that they did rot
understand that tbe injuction prevented the
exchange from furnishing quotations else
where.

MISSING AGENT ALL RIGHT.
He le Supposed to Have Taken About
33,0000f His Own Money With aim.
The Woman Maid to Belong to One
of Atlanta's Best Families.
Atlanta, Ga., D kv 15. —The disappear
ance of W. B. Summers of Llthonla has
boon more of a sensation to-day than since
Sunday, when the first alarm of the mystery
was raised. It is now conceded that Sum
mers’ disappearauoe was not only volun
tary, but that it was planned and worked
oat accordingly. It is also generally be
lieved that the missing railroad agent went
with a woman, an Atlanta woman whom
he has been infatuated with for some time.
While all other theories but this one have
been discarded, nobody seems to know who
the woman in the case is. All that appears
is that Summers made frequent visits to
Atlanta and that he came here Saturday
night from the depot office in Lithonia.
GAVE his wife the slip.
He had told his wife that business would
keep him at the depot until after 12 o'clock,
but left there at Id o'clock and bearded a
freight train to escape suspicion. From
Atlanta Summers is traoed to Birmingham,
or some point on the Georgia Pacific road,
having bought a ticket to that city. He
was alone on ths Georgia Pacldo train, but
it Is believed that the woman, whoever she
is, preceded him. Rumor here has it that
she is a woman who has always been highly
respected and that she Is connected with
one of the best families of Atlanta.
his accounts all right.
It tarns out that Summers arranged all
his accounts with the railroad and express
companies to the letter so as to prevent
these corporations from hnnting him down.
The SBOO which he had in his possession was
his own money, and it appears further that
he took with him every dollar that he could
conveniently get hold of without exciting
suspicion, drawing all his money out of the
Augusta bank, amounting, it is said, to
$3,000. Mrs. Summers, who is highly con
nected, is prostrated at the desertion of hir
husband, and sentiment has been so stirred
up among the rough miners of the town
that Summers would have a rough time of
it if captured and taken book there.
TICKBKB NOT TICKING.
The Southern Pacific Road's Opera
tors Begin Their Strike.
Ban Francisco, Cal., Dec. 15.— The
strike of the telegraph operators on the
Southern Pacific division of the Southern
i’aolfio Railroad Company, began this
morning on the Atlantic and Paoific rail
road. It It definitely known that a large
number of men are out. The strike is based
on a claim by the operators that tne South
ern Pacific should not compel them to sign
an affidavit that they are not or will not
become members of the telegraphers’ or
ganization.
THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC GIVES IN.
St. Louis, Mo., Deo. 15.— Acting Grand
Chief Ramsey has sent a telegram to the
strike committee of the Atlantic and Paciflo
strikers instructing them to declare the
strike off providing the officials of the road
adhere to their first declaration of allowing
the operators to remain members of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers.
"If we can settle our troubles with the
Southern Paciflo and Atlantia and Paoific,”
said a member of the executive committee
of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, “no
body else will be involved, but If we can
not settle with these companies then we will
involve every railroad in the United
States.”
Assistant Grand Chief Ramsey says that
order has a membership of 15,000, “and
there are no surplus men,” he added. “I tee
no possible chahce for the company to get
men to replace the strikers.”
A FEDERATION PROPOSED.
Representatives of the switchmen’s.train
men’s, conductors’ and operators’ brother
hoods, which met here to-day under the
name of the advisory counoilmen of rail
road men, adopted a resolution for the ap
pointment of a committee of three
authorized to frame a plan
of federation which will ibo
forwarded to the grand officers of all the
railway employes’ organ!zatious|to be passed
upon by tbm, and providing for a meeting
of said grand officers in St. Louis on Feb.
1, 1893. Messrs. Mitohell of the Switch
men’s brotherhood, Thurston of the oper
ators and Morrissey of the trainmen, were
appointed such committee. ,
NO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
Albuquerque, N. M., Deo. 15.—The
strike of the dispatchers and operators on
the Atlantic and Pacific has not changed
for the better. It looks more serious, in
fact, for if “scabs” are running, and the
conductors, engineers, firemen and brake
men, who are brotherhood men, are
asked to take orders from them, they
will probably refuse and join forces with
tbe strikers. In that event the strike will
be general and long, for all the orders are
well fixed financially. A conference last
night with General Manager Gabel, in
which representatives of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, Loco
motive Firemen, Railway . Con
ductors, Railway Brakemen . and
Railway™ Trainmen participated, re
sulted iu Manager Gabel telegraphing the
whole matter, including the schodulo sub
mitted by the strikers, to President Manvel
at Chicago, asking until to-day noon
to give an answer. President Man
vel telegraphed for further time,
and the strikers and their
sympathizers gave until 7:30 o’clock to
night. They are now in oonference and
their decision will not be given out uutil to
morrow. In the meantime all traffic on tbe
Atlantic and Pacific Is at a standstill, and
the brotherhood operators on the Santa Fe
have been requested not to handle Atlantic
and Paoific business.
BOSTON’S ELECTION.
Mayor Matthews Elected By an In
creased Plurality.
Boston, Mass., Dec. 15.— Only about
140 precincts out of 205 have as yet been
figured up, and judging by these returns,
the plurality of Mayor Matthews, dern.,
over Horace O. Allen, rep., will be not loss
than 14,000, as against 12,295 last year.
The remaining precincts may not, however,
keep up the proportionate democratic gain.
From present indications the board of aider
men will be equally divided, or possibly
stand 7 republicans to 5 democrats,
MERIDEN GOES DEMOCRATIC.
Meriden. Conn., Dec. 15.—The demo
crats carried the city election to-day. Dr.
Andrew W. Tracy, their candidate for
mayor, was elected by 22 plurality over
the republican candidate. The democrats
elected 11 of the fifteen nldermen, and the
next council will stand 21 democrats to 9
republicans. This is a complete change in
the city government.

Nashville, Tenn. , Dec. 15.—George R.

church, is a fugitive from justice. On Sat
urday last Rev. Lindner gave worthless
checks to different firms in this city to the
amount of £6OO. Ho also obtained three

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 15.—Composi

o'clock this evening that their wages be in

All of the comp miters are members of the

ter pair did so under protest.
the record's position.
Tbe Record is paying now on an average
of about 44 cents per I.iWO ems, having con
ceded last year 45 cents for all minion, in
which the body of the paper is set. The
scale presented to Mr. Singerly to-day
really amounted to a reduction in the
Record's composing room pay roll, cutting
down the display men from bills of from
$45 t<> $59 a week t< $24. Tbe objection of
the Record was not to the new scale, but to
the proposed interference with the business
ot the office. Mr. Singerly had an agree
ment with the men's committee that no
strike would occur until to-morrow at 3
o’clock, if at all, and had made no prepara
tions Ipr a lockout, but threats were
made thatßthe men would go out
whether the committee had made promises
or not. At 6 o’clook, when it was announoed
that the men were waiting for orders,
Mr. Singerly ordered the men out and took
possession of the composing room. By 8
o’clock the Record had engaged thirty-four
men, about half the number usually at work
in the office.
Mr. blngerly expresses confidence
in bis ability to get along with
out union men and say ■ his paper will be
issued to-morrow as usual. At the Inquirer
office, after several conferences between the
proprietor, James Kiverson, and a commit
tee representing the strikers, tbe men at
8:30 o’clock agreed to continue work at the
old rate, pending a settlement of the differ
ences.
