A CHALLENGE TO A DUEL.
FBANCIS FONTAINE SENT IT TO
CHAhLBS E. CUKKIEH.
An Overdraft on tha Bank of Which
Mr. Currier la President the Cause of
the Trouble Gen. W. S. Walker
Chosen to Convey the Challenge.
Hardness of Hearing Caused Mr
Fontaine to Misunderstand a State
ment.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 81. —Atlanta fcas be
come famous for her duels, the duels that
have happened but were never fought.
Railroad magnates and dry goods clerks
have Invoked the bloodless offices of the
code to settle their differences and shield
their chivalric honor. The particulars of
an encounter which might have takea place
early this week just leaked out t -day, and
another goreless chapter is written in At
lanta's resord of duels. The prominence of
tbe&entlemen, both of whom are known by
their business connections throughout the
State, makes the affair somewhat sensa
tional in its proportions, although it 1s now
amicably settled and each has forgiven the
Other’s fault in it.
THE MEN INVOLVED.
Francis Fontaine, prominent as a mem
ber of the constitutional convention of 1877
from Columbus, and enjoying a literary
reputation as the author of a southern
romauoe entitled “Etowah,” was one of the
aggrieved parties. Charles E. Currier,
president of tho Atlanta National Bank,
was the other, Gen. W. 8. Walker, the
Veteran soldier, acted as Mr. Fontaine's
second, and it was due to his admirable
tact and friendship for both gentlemen that
the difference was settled without an actual
meeting, both Mr. Fontaine and
Mr. Currier hclDg men of undoubted
courage, who. smarting under a wrong,
real or imaginary, would not hesitate in
such an affair. In fact, it is said that Mr.
Fontaine has already proved his valor on
the field.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The trouble arose over an overdraft by
Mr. Fontaine, who, in his business, handles
large sums of money through the bank of
which Mr. Ourrier is president. Mr. Fon
taine aud Mr. Currier had some words over
the matter, both becomiug more or less
worm. Mr. Fontaine is very hard of hear
ing and understood Mr. Currier to call him
a liar. Being of that type of s >uthorii gen
tleman who regards a street tight as low and
nogentlemanly he did not resent the imag
ined insult on the spot, but left the bank
where the sceno oeourro t and shortly after
ward sent his friend, Gen. Walker, to con
vey notioe of a formal challenge to Mr.
Currier.
GEN. WALKER’S GOOD OFFICES.
Mr. Fontaine was in dead earnest about
the matter, aud there would doubtless have
been a very different ending of the chal
lenge but for an explanation which Mr.
Currier made to Gen. Walker. To him Mr.
Currier said he had no recollection of hav
ing called Mr. Fontaine a liar, and after
furthor conversation on the subject, during
which all that had passed between tho
two principals was rehearsed Lien. Walker
came to the conclusion that Mr. Fontaine
bad, through his defective hearing, misun
derstood Mr. Currier’s remarks.
AN EXPLANATION MADE.
Mr. Currier, it is understood, wrote an
explanation to this effoct, which was con
veyed to Mr. Fontuine later in the dev. Mr.
Fontaine accepted the apology as perfectly
satisfactory, aDd so to-night both gentlemen
•re as good friends as ever apparently.
After much interviewing of all tho gentle
men implicated the facts in the affair wore
secured as given, though neither Mr. Fon
taine nor Mr. Currier would be quoted,
while both admitted tho passage of the
shalienge.
GEORGIA'S PENSIONERS.
The Grand Jurlea of the Counties to
Revise the Lists.
Atlanta, Ga., Deo. 81.—To-day Cupt.
Harrison, pension clerk of the executive
department, began sending out to the clerk
Of the superior court of eaoh county a com
plete list of all the soldiers and widows of
soldiers residing in eaoh county, as their
names appear upon the pension rolls. It is
the duty of the clerks of tho superior courts
to deliver this list of pensioners tu the
grand juries. The grand juries will inspect
and examine the lists, and report on the
same in their genera! presentments, stating
whether all the persons whose names ap
pear are entitled to receive pensions. The
dorks of the courts will transmit to the
governor a copy of that portion of tho pre
sentments of the graud jury which refers to
pensions, and tho governor will then cause
additional proofs to be given in all claims
which are reported as doubtful. Unless the
claim is supported by satisfactory proof it
will be disallowed. The judges of the
superior oourts are required under the new
law to give this law specially in their
charge to the grand Juries before whom the
pension lists are placed for examination.
This law will act as a safeguard to tho
pension department, preventing bogus
claims and relieving the department of a
good deal of responsibility.

poll tax for 1892, which remain* in the
counties and is not apportioned by this de
partment, it estimated at (900,000, as trie
year 1892 is an election year. This will
make $1,175,000 for the total amount to be
expended, outside of local taxation, for the
support of the common schools of Georgia
for the year 1892. This is an increase of
about (50,000 over the amount expended in
1891.
WHAT THE COMMISSIONER SAYS.
The commissioner says: “While the gen
eral assembly, in the face of the great de
mands upon them, did not appropriate the
funds necessary for six months’ schools, yet
they inaugurated a poiioy which, when sub
stantially aided, 11 add greatly to the effi
ciency of the common school system of tho
state. This policy is embraced in two
measures, county institutes for tho improve
ment of the teauoers now in the lleld, ami a
state normal school for training those who
are soon to enter toe field. A law was
passed authorizing the counties, upon the
recommendation of two suoce.ssivo grand
juries and indorsement by a two-thirds
vote of the people at the polls, to Impose a
local tax to supplement the sohool fund.
GEORGIA AT THB FAIR.

Atlanta, Ga. , Deo. 81. —Gov. Northen
says Georgia must t represented at the
world’s fair. To-day he is having sent out

If 10i),(l00 as a general fund. He also outlines
briefly the plan to bo pursued in raising I bis
amount. Later tbe governor, who is chair
man of the executive committee, will Issue
another circular giving further plans and
information. A scheme was set on foot
this morning to provide a building for
the Georgia display with slight cost to the
state. It was laid before the governor
by Martin Amorous, the well
known lumberman of this city. His plan
is to got tho lumbermen of Georgia to do
nate the lumber, all of it to be of Georgia
growth, to erect the building In Chicago for
tho Georgia exhibits. He will ask the lum
ber dealers to donate the timber, have it all
shipped and framed here an 1 get free trans
portation from tho railroads for it to Chi
cago. The only expense will be the wages
of the workmen in framing it tiers and put
ting it together in Chicago, together with
tho expense of an architect. Tho building
will be a good advertisement for those who
contribute the lumber as well as an adver
tisement for Georgia. Tho governor in
dorsed tho scheme after a long talk on the
subject with Mr. Amorous aud requested
him to take the necessary steps to carry it
out as he volunteered.

ing Into a Freight Car.

iting the yard, discovered that the car had
been o;iened. He immediately reported
the matter to Agent Held. Investigation
disclosed the fact that some wearing ap
parel, a floe clock and a handsome silver
water pitcher wore missing. The polioe
were culled on and soon learned that a
young man had been trying early in tbe
morning to tell a clock answering to the de
scription, and the party who gave the in
formation also gave an aeourute description
of tho man with the tlrae-piec>. With this
a:* a clew the police went to work, and
while some of the boys were s -arching the
dives Chief Shackleford looked after the
trains, and was early rewarded by seeing
his man walk out of the ticket office.
Without any ceremony the chief made him
a prisoner.
A COOL PRISONER.
Davidson took his arrest quietly, and at
the commitment trial pleaded his own case.
He is a good talker end shrewd. When ar
rested ho had two tickets for Williams,
which shows that he had a partner whom
he expected to join. He also had on one of
Mr. Mallory’s suits of clothes. The pitcher
is a heavy silver souvenir, presented to ilr.
and Mrs. Mallory by the Lunonian and
Polymnlan Society of South Carolina in
1882. Davidson was seat to jail in de
fault of a SSOO bond.
