REDWISE’S RAPID PACK.
THE GRAND JURY TRYING TO FIND
OCT ALL ABOUT IT.
All the Gate City’s ewell Young Men
About Town Summoned to Appear.
Dan Rountree Explains His Visit to
Cora Howard's Houee as a Profes
sional One.
Atlanta, Ga., March 14.— The corridor
approaching the grand jury room of the
United States court presented more the ap
pearance of a hall room lobby during the
progress of a swell german, than the ante
room to an inquisition chamber to-day, or it
might have been taken for an important
elub meeting, ludgiug by the gravity which
prevailed. It was the second day of the in
vestigation of the Gate City National
Bank defalcation and the throng of wit
nesses summoned and awaiting the pleasure
Of the inquisition were the young men who
bad been the companions of Lewis Red
wine, the defaulting cashier.
BOUND TO GET AT THE FACTS.
The grand jury is determined to get at
the bottom of the mystery surrounding the
disposition of the missing $95,030, if possi
ble, and with that end in view called a list
of Redwine’s associates in high life, sum
moning them to give in detail the
many extravagances he is supposed to
have committed with the bank’s money,
under the resistless influence of society’s fas
cinating glamor. Such a list of witnesses
is a rare occurrence. It was a kid glove
crowd with boutonnieres to match—young
gentlemen who must have been positively
•booked, don’t cher know, by their close
proximity to a real court room. Red w ine
himself was brought from jail in a close cab
and taken before the jury, which was the
most important part of the day’s proceed
ings. though the witnesses who had been
collected formed by far the better material
for speculation.
REDWINE RETICENT.
In the jury room, it is learned from a
member of the Dody, Itedwine refused to
say anything direct in regard to the defal
cation, except to state positively that Owens
and Black, the two men arrested for
alleged complicity in assisting him to
escape, had nothing to do with him in that
respeot. Kelwine was explicit on this
point. He did not want these two meu to
suffer for aiding him to get, away because
they were innocent of any such purpose.
Besides Redwine several leading bankers
were examined, but the society young men,
who are to tell about Red w ine's social
triumphs, his wonderful bouquets and
theater-box parties, his tailor bills and stable
accounts, were reserved for to-morrow.
One < f tbe men summoned by the grand
jury is Daniel Rountree, the young attorney
who visited Redwine while he was in biding
at the bouse of Cora Howard. Reappeared
to-day after the adjournment of the jury to
explain liis conduct to the foreman, so as to
be relieved from appearing in a formal way.
He agserted that be kuew absolutely nothing
of the defalcation, but bad visited Itedwine
in the capacity of a legal adviser, lie has
not been retained in tbe case by the prisoner.
He will appear before tbe jury to-morrow.
A STATE NORMAL fcCHCOL.
Athens to Raise Money to Have the
Session Held Thoro This Summer.
Athens, Ga. , March 14. —The board of
trade held a meeting here this afternoon for
the purpose of securing for Athens the
State Normal Sohool daring the summer
months. The meeting was a very enthusi
astic one, and a la-ge number of citizens
were present. State School Commissioner
Brad well, in a short talk, showed the bene
fits that would accrue from such a school,
and also its necessity in Georgia. Mr.
Brad well was greatly pleased with the nor
mal school here last year, and hopes to
moke it a great success at its
next session. All of tbe teachers
who attended last year were highly
entertained by Athens and all left praising
the normal school and the classic city for
her hospitality.
To-day the board of trade pledged them
selves to raise $ 1 ,‘XJO for a fifty-days session
during the summer mouths. Mr. Bradwell
thinks that if tbe school can be sustained
temporarily that tbe legislature cannot but
help in the great work that it is doing, and
recognizing the necessity for its permauancy
by sn appropriation. It is n t known yet
on wbat date the school will open, but it is
settled that there will be a normal school at
Athens this summer.

AKANSASTRU-sTCOMPANY FAILB.
Ingalls Its President, but His Loss Only
t SIO,OOO.
Kansas City, Mo., March 14.— The
Kansas Trust and Banking Company, of
which Sonator Ingalls is president, closed
its doors last night. The liabilities are es
timated at SBOO,OOO. The assets will prob
ably reach $700,000. The company owns
30,000 acres of land in Kansas and about
$20,000 worth of property in this city. R.
M. Manley, the geuerul manager, loses
$250,000. Ireland Tufts of Kansas City
was appointed receiver by Judge Foster in
the United States court at Topeka yester
day. There was about $30,000 on doposit
when the bank olosed its doors. Senator
Ingalls loses about SIO,OOO. The concern
loaned considerable money on Kansas prop
erty at boom figures and was compelled to
take it lu and was unable to realize as much
as had beou advanced.
Attorney L. K. Bird says that the assets
will equal the liabilities, though tbe stock
holders may ue called upon for the face
value of their stock. About fifty Atchison
people were caught in tbe wreck to the ex
tent of about $125,000.

lint the purse was not. The olub says
the annouceient was made without its
knowledge or consent and the managers
have notified Fitzsimmons to oall at their
office to-day for the money. The
club thought it was not tbe
proper thing, you know, to trust Fitz with
their money just fir the sake of making a
show and to make a long story short, Fitz

CITIES LIGHTED BY BALLOONS.
Details of a Plan Which Will Be
Tested at the World's Fair.
From the Son Frcincitco Call.
A balloon with electric lights attached to
it for lighting cities is the latest idea of
turning the "light of lights” to a practical
use. This idea may seem very visionary,
but C. A. Smith, one of San Francisco’s In
ventors, has sufficient confidence in the
scheme to commence operations of construct
ing a balloon for that purpose. This balloon
will not be of the ordinary silk-bag pattern,
but will be made of aluminum in the shape
of a cigar, pointed at both ends. It will be
about 40 feet long and 15 feet in diameter at
its largest point, and will contain sufficient
gas to sustain it in the roughest weather.
Fans will be constructed so as to
hold it point up to the wind and keep
it from dipping, and in calm weather it will
be so blanched that it will remain per
fectly level. A cable containing the elec
tric wires will hold it at a sufficient elova
tion, so that the light will be spread over
the area to be illuminated to the best ad
vantage. The balloon will sustain six arc
lights, or it can be so made as to be covered
with incandescent lights,eaoh one of which
will be inclosed with a reflector, so as to
concentrate the rays of the light and throw
them downward. An applianoe will be
provided for hauling the ballon to the earth
for trimming the light or making any re
pairs that might become necessary, or rais
ing or lowering it so that the light may be
advantageously distributed.
The inventor claims that, counting the
flrst cost of the balloons and their main
tenance, the total cost of lighting a city the
site of Ban Fraucisco will De reduced con
siderably, as one balloon will suffice for
from four to six blocks. At the same time
the tangle of deadly and unsightly wires
from the streets will he removed and danger
from fires reduced. Mr. Bmith, in addition
to the lights, has Invented an arrangement
of mirrors, which will be placed on the
under side of the balloon, so that a person
on one street can see wbat is transpiring on
the next, even though blocks of buildings
intervene, and this mirror arrangement,
the inventor fays, will be of great service
to the fire department, as the location of
tho flames can be easily ascertained should
they break out from a building.
"Per Laps the best use to which this sys
tem of lighting would be turned would be
to harbors," said Mr. Smith. "Three or
four of the e balloons placed over San
Francisco bay would make the harbor as
light as day. The members of the Han Fran
cisco Electrio Association have discussed
my scheme pretty thoroughly, and they
claim that it is not only possible, but one
that Would be very useful as a system of
city lighting. I have enough faith in it to
secure space at the world’s fair to place it
on exhibition, aud my attention from now
until the fair opens will lie direoted toward
constructing a balloon aDd having it in per
fect working order.”

HOW WHISKY IS MADE.
A Three-year-old ‘Velvet” Article
Turned Out In a Minute.
From the St. Louis Repnbli''.
James M. Veazey gave some astonishing
information to Mr. Bynum’s committee ap
pointed to inveetigote the whisky trust. The
report reads:
The witness appeared before the commit
tee with two demijohns, one containing
pure alcohol and the other spirits, and a
number of bottle* containing essential oils,
essences, etc., with which he proposed to
make some experiments, r.d explained the
same iuformally.
The Chairman—Y'ou may now proceed
with your experiments.
The Witness—The basis here, this white
product, is what is known as “spirits" in the
trade. With the use of these essential oils
aud essence* now before you auy kind of
imitation liquor can be produced at almost
a moment’s notice. My first experiments
will be with Jamaica rum. I put a drop of
Jamaica rum essence into this white spirits,
a few drops of coloring matter and some
sugar sirup. Try of it and smell of it [hand
ing same to oommittee.J Does it smell like
rum and taste like it? If they waut to
make it cheaper they reduco it with water.
I will reduce it with water and you will
notice that the bead t.os disappeared from
it. 1 will reproduce the bead by the use off
head oil. I put one drop in, and here is
the result [shaking and holding same
up before tbe committee]. Now,
using rye whisky essence instead
of Jamaica rum ssseuce, 1 will flavor this
spirits. I will now put some prune juice
into it to tone it. I will put some raisin oil
in it to age it. and I will now commence to
color it. This first exhibit [holdmg same
up before the committee] is about the color
or 1-year-old whisky that has been property
bonded. I will now color it so lt.wili imi
tate a 2-year, old whisky. This is about the
3-year-old now [exhibiting same]. I will
now give this the color of “velvet whisky,”
which is sold as high as $4 a gallon [exhibit
ing same]. The present price of spirits,
to-day, 1 think, is $1 30 a gallon. The utili
zation of any of these essential oils and
avid essences and coloring matter to
make the transfer does not exceed a cost
of l>j ceuts a gallon. lam prepared to make
imitations of any of these liquors at any
time with this spirits basis.
The Chairman• —Name the different kinds.
The Witness—All the different whiskies,
Scotch and Irish whiaxies, the foreign gins
and rums and brandies, after-dinner cor
dials and liquors. These materials as you
have them exhibited before you of essential
oils and essences are psrt and parcel of the
stock in trade of every man in the United
States of America who has got a rectifying
license as a wholesale liquor dealer.
Q. —In the production of the imitation
Jamaica rum you used some coloring mat
ter ; do you know of what constituents that
coloring matter Is composed! A.—lt is sup
posed to be burnt sugar.
Q. —You used a bead oil; do you know of
what that is composed? A.—l am not a
chemist, but I am told by authorities, which
will be submitted here, it is made of sul
phuric acid, the oil of almonds and either
sweet oil or cotton seed oil, I am not sure
whiob.
Q. —In tbe production of your “velvet
whisky" you poured in some aging com
pound; do you know of what that is com
posed? A. —One of them is made from
raisins and the other from prunes.
Q. —In tbe production of eithtr of these
imitations did you use any compound of
which fusel oil is aconstituent? A.—ln the
rye whisky flavoring fusel oil is the basis.
Q. —Is fusel oil a poisonous substance or
not? A. —I believe it is so considered.
Q. —From your knowledge of the business
do these imitations of liquor find any large
sale in the United States? A.—They are
very generally and extensively iu use
throughout our entire country in every
hamlet and village, in all the branches o'r
trade, the wholesale liquor dealer, the
grocer having a liquor dealer’s license, aud
retail druggists.
The Chairman—ln what proportion, in
your judgment,?
The Witness—l can tell when I know how
much tax the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing Company have paid; then I can tell
what proportion of the output of spirits
their product is.
Q. —You spoke of finding a market also
among druggists. Is it or not a fact within
the range of your experience aud knowledge
that these imitation liquors are frequently
dispensed upon a physicians prescription in
stead of the pure artiole? A.—The average
man in the retail business is unable to pro
tect himself, notwithstanding these imita
tions, and at the time of purchase they are
falsely represented to him. When a doctor
prescribes French brandy he expects to get
a production which is a distillation of wine
made from the grape. In that imitation
brandy made from spirits and cognao oil he
gets a crude product of corn, defeating en
tirely his purpose in the prescription. The
same applies to gin, rum aud other articles
wherever the imitations are found.

• Facte.
Shipwrecked ?
Yes. Three times, in all.
Once on a steamer. That only amounted
to a little excitement and the loss of my
baggage. Once on a Japanese junk, result
ing in a vigorous swim of over half a mile.
Once I was shipwrecked in good earnest. I
shall never forget it:
Our stanch schooner went ashore in the
straits of Cape Hern. The wind blew a
gale. It always blows there. The night
was as blaok as ship’s coffee. We had all
fast but the jib forward and a bit of sail to
steady her. Tbe sea was running so fast
that no anchor could have held her. It
was go on or go down.
We did both.
Thera was suddenly a fearful flash and
the whole ship was aglow. The mast be
side me fell in splinters. In an instant I
was swept from the deck. The next mo.
ment I was clinging to a floating cask. It
saved my life. It did more; for the water
in it kept me alive on a barren rock for
eight days, until I was rescued.”
These words were spoken by Lieut. Col.
Thorndike, U. S. N., a well-known naval
writer, in a recent interview.
A fellow officer in supplementing bis nar
rative said: “The hardships of a sea-faring
life, improper food and exposure, kill thou
sands of strong men each year. It left me
in the prime of life a hopeless victim of
diabetes, complications of tbe liver and
kidneys which finally resulted in Bright’s
disease. Physicians failed to give me relief.
I was shipwrecked In health. While bat
tling with tbe currents of death that assailed
me, help came from an unexpected quarter,
restoring nie to health and vigor. How did
It happe.. ? Wbile I was in this critical con
dition, a friend called one day, and told me
of what Warner’s Safe Cure had done for
him. He had beeu a sufferer from the
malady Ii is enduring, and through the
aid of this great remedy had been completely
restored. I was prejudiced at first, having
uo faith in proprietary medicines, as a rule,
but 1 was finally induced to give the Safe
Cure a trial.
'•What has been the result?
"You can see for yourself.” The fact that
the speakor wus the very picture of health
and strength, and is engaged in tbe most
arduous duties in connection with the t avy
department was a sufficient answer, and in
dorsement of the wonderful remedial effeot
of this great discovery.
Statements such os this are beyond ques
tion. They agree in every particular, with
testimony that is given by men and women
throughout the country, who speak from
past experience. Tate, for example, tbe
case of that well-kuown official. Col. £). A.
Grosvenor of Washington, D. C., who gives
his opinion in ihe following outspoken
words:
“About 1877,” he says, ‘ ‘I received an in
jury to the kidneys caused by a severe
strain. At the time of the injury, I was
barely able to get about for several days,
suffered great pain, and, at times, passed
blood with my urine. I got better, but for
three or four years after, I had trouble at
times, and my back across the kidneys be
came very sore. Whenever I took cold, I
felt the trouble, and very often I suffered
severely and was troubled in passing water.
About 1881, I began the use of Warner’s
Safe Cure, which effected a complete cure,
since which time I have bad no trouble or
weakness whatever in the region of the kid
neys. lam a well, sound man to-day.”
Ur. L. B. Price of Hanford, Va., also
speaks from experience. He says: “Some
years ago, J was a sufferer from a severe
kianey affection. Consulting physicians
pronounced it Bright's disease, and some of
the most prominent and skillful of our pro
fession treated me without the slightest
benefit. In despair I tried several alleged
specifics, but got no better. I also tried
celebrated doctors, but still obtained no re
lief. I then read an account of Warner’s
Safe Cure, began its use, and in a short
time was entirely cured. I have never
since had the slightest symptoms of my oid
and terrible trouble. I have reoommendod
Warner’s Safe Cure to many patients a id
in every case they improved. I firmly be
lieve this splendid remedy was the sole
means of saving my life.”
The words of such men cannot be ques
tioned, they are above dispute; they are
strong and oonvincing. They prove, be
yond the shado w of a doubt, that for re
lieving those pai nful symptoms above de
scribed no reined y can compare with the
great Safe Cure, which is the only sure
means known to medioal science of re
lieving the misery they cause an and ef
fectually driving them out of tbe system.
