2 HILL FORFEITS HIS BOND. His Attorney Pleads That Hill In tended to Be on Hand. Tba Solicitor Points Out That the Fugitive Could Have Been Present If He Had So Desired—A Letter Prom the Woman Who Betrayed Him Into the Hands of the Chicago Police. Atlanta. Ga.. Jan. 22.—The $6,600 bond of Harry Hill, indicted on eleven counts for forging the name of Mrs. Fannie Porter, wife of J. H. Porter, president of the Merchants' Bank, was forfeited in the criminal branch of the superior court to-day, when the case, which-was set some weeks ago, was called for trial. When the state announced ready through Solicitor General Charles D. Hill, his brother, B. H. Hill, who repre sented the prisoner, arose and made a motion for a continuance. Harry Hill is under bond in Chicago awaiting the gov ern's ruling as to whether a requisition for him from Georgia will be honored, he said. He is to an swer to the case in court there at noon teeday and. of course, under those condi tions, it was impossible for him to be here this morning. ISTKXPED TO RETURN’. “I will say in this connection, may it please your honor, that it has never been other than Mr. Hill’s intention to return to Atlanta. He will be here for trial. He was unwilling to be brought back upon charges preferred by Mr. Tolleson. which he did not believe were made in good faith, but simply for the purpose of collecting a debt. 1 telegraphed Harry Hill on Saturday to be here to-day, as his case would be called yesterday. I re ceived from C. H. Blackburn, his attorney in Chicago, this telegram: ‘He is under bond for appearance here to-morrow. Will arrange matters and start him there to-morrow evening.' Harry Hill will be here ifjthe requisition is granteu* in charge of the officer If the requisition is not granted, he will come voluntarily.” EORFf III’RE DEMANDED. Solicitor Hill raised strenuous objec tions. and the passages between the two were sharp. His bond, said the solicitor, was made returnable to-day, and it was his lirst duty to be here. If he bad been anxious to stand his trial he could have said that he would return without a requisition, and that would have ended the matter. Instead, he is cow fighting hard to keep from appearing before this court. Chief of Police Connolly received notice during the morning that Gov. Altgeld had refused the requisition for Hill and that the gay prisoner was released In reply to this Solicitor Hill wired the Chicago chief of police, and Gov. Altgeld also, to have Hill held as a fugi tive from justioe under the charge of forgery, as he had forfeited his bond this morning, so Hill will doubtless be brought back to stand trial finally, if be is not already on his way voluntarily. THE WOMAN WHO OAVK HIM AWAT. J. R. Tolleson, who has been active in pursuing Hill, received a letter from the woman who gave him over to the Chicago police to-day. She describes an attempt made to bribe the police, but was foiled by an outside party, who wasou the watch for such a move. The woman says in Chicago a man can kill another and get out of it if he has money. Hill is reported as occupying an office in Chicago, where he is writing a book giving all the circum stances in the noted case in which he figured as a principal. He had been writing five hours daily on this book when betrayed by the woman, who says, in her letter, that he was going to get SIO,OOO for his book from Chicago pub lishers. CHECKING CRIME. Ministers Asking' the Feople to As sist in Putting Down Lawlessness. Douglas, Ga., Jan. 22. —Owing to the ab sence of Presiding Elder Stubbs, the quarterly conference for the Douglas cir cuit of the Methodist Episcopal church closed here yesterday, after a masterly sermon delivered by Rev. J. M. Wilcox on the wave of crime and bloodshed that has passed over this county within the past twelve months, and how to remedy it. At the conclusion. Rev. W. J. Flan ders asked all who were willing to aid the officers in the suppression of crime to stand up. Every man in the vast assem bly arose. All the ministers of the county have asked all law-abiding citizens to meet them at the Methodist Episcopal church here on the first Monday in March to effect plans to stop crime. Rev. C. W. Infinger, who has charge of the county blood hounds, is also clerk of the court of ordinary, in addition to his other offices The ordinary lives about seventeen miles from the court house, and Mr. Infinger was called away with the hounds on Thursday and Friday of last week. George W. Deen, an influential turpen tine operator, had to send imjiortant papers fourteen miles from his place here twice in the day. and once at 2 o'clock in the night, before he could get them prop erly signed. This will cause another kick, as the law directs certain hours daily for this office to be kept open. Some of the taxpayers are kicking at the expense of k'-eping John Jones in Malcon jail and John Story in Brunswick jail. We have the Pauly Company's latest improved steel cells in the jail here, at a great expense to the county. CORDELE CUTS SALARIES. The Knife Applied to Avoid an In crease in Taxation. Cordele. Ga., Jan. 22.—The city council of Cordele has begun the new year with the determination to economize on every hand. They made a start this afternoon by cutting down salaries SOOO per year. The salary of the clerk and treasurer was reduced from *SO to $26, that of the mar shal from SSO to SBS. and that of the policeman from S4O to S3O. At the meeting this afternoon T. J. Brooks was elected clerk and treasurer, W. W. Bussey marshal, and N. Y. Peavy deputy marshal. The reduction in sal aries is made so that certain outstanding debts may be paid without increasing the rpte of taxation. SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR. Orlando to Have an Exposition a Week Long in February. Orlando, Fla., Jan. 20.—Preparations for the opening of the second annual fair of the South Florida Fair Association, which will be held here on Feb. 22-25, inclusive, are going forward satisfactorily The association has published and dis tributed a neat premium catalogue, and is now presenting its compliments to the newspaper men it is hoped will lie pres ent. It is hoped and expected that the til'st fair, which was a complete suoress, will be eclipsed by the forthcoming one. Offerman's Municipal Ticket. Offerman, Ga., Jan. 22.—At the annual meeting of citizens Of Offerman. the fol lowing gentlemen were nominated to serve as mayor and council: William R. Colquitt, mayor. For councilmen, Charles McCall, E. O'Hagan, J. N. Stewart and Dr. J E. Overstreet. The naval stores operators are securing plenty of hands. TRIAL OF THE HINKLES. The Case of the Father to Be Tried First -Eleven Jurymen Secured. Americus. Ga.. Jan. 22.—The Hinkle case was called this morning. Both sides announced ready. The state asked that the cases of Dr. J. B. Hinkle and his son. A. B. Hinkle, be severed. This was granted by Judge Fish. Dr. J. B. Hinkle was placed on trial. Theday was spent in obtaining a-jury. ■At the adjournment to-night eleven jurors had been selected : B. H. Harriss. C. C. Alexander. G. W. Kinard. D. W. Win gate. J. M. Wimbish, Q. W. Fuller, J. T. Frasier, T. L. Speer. M. .1. Nailer. J. T. Ratliffe and D. R. Bradley. Eight of the eleven are country farmers, one is a rail road man, one a butcher, and one a la borer. Great interest is manifested in the case. The remaining juryman will doubtless be obtained early to-morrow. Both sides are on the alert, quick to take advantage or exception. Thirteen lawyers represent the defense, among them several of the most prominent in the state, including Assistant Attorney Gen eral W. A. Little, Railroad Commissioner Allen Fort. Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, L. J. Blalock and others. The state is not so well represented in number, but Hon. Robert Burner, of For syth; E. A. Hawkins, E. F. Hinton, A. J. Hixon and others show that the solicitor, C. B. Hudson, will be ably assisted in the prosecution. It will doubtless prove one of the most stubbornly contested cases in the crim inal annals of the state. The prisoners to-day were attended by their wives. Mrs. Myrick. wife of the editor of the Times-Recorder, and other relatives. When arraigned Dr. J. B. Hindle pleaded “Not guilty” with great boldness, so much so that the resultant murmurs caused Judge Fish to rap for order. The two doctors seem in fine health, the feebleness claimed several months ago having entirely disapt>eared. They are charged with the murder of Dr. J. J. Worsham on Dec. 21,1892. MEMPHIS’ BIG COTTON FIRE. One Phase of the Litigation Growing Out of It Decided. Washington, Jan. 22.—One phase of a complicated litigation growing out of a cotton conflagration in Memphis on the night of Nov. 17,1887, when 14,000 bales, vatued at $700,000, were destroyed in the west navy yard compress of the Memphis Cotton Press and Storage Company, was ended by a decision ot the supreme court of the United States to-day. There were seven cases, in all, disposed of by tho judgment. They were suits originally filed in the Shelby county. Tennessee, chancery court, the parties being a num berof insurance companies and the cotton press oompany.on one side, and the Insur ance Company of North America, of Phil adelphia, on the other. The plaintiffs asked to have the cases transferred to the circuit court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee, which was denied. The supreme court of Tennessee affirmed the ruling of the county court, and the plain tiffs brought the cases to the supreme court of the United States. Besides the question of Jurisdiction involved, the ap pellants also raised the question whether or not certain alleged special rates, re bates and drawbacks allowed the re ceivers of the Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago railroad to a firm whose cotton was destroyed in the fire was not such a violation of the inter state commerce act as to invalidate the bills of lading issued for that cotton and prevent recovery thereon against the carrier. After fully presenting the facts In the case, Justice Jackson said thecourt was of the opinion that the cases should not have been transferred from the fed eral courts; that the evidence failed to establish the claim that special rates, re bates and drawbacks had been allowed, and that if they had been so made there is nothing in the interstate commerce act which vitiates bills of lading. The judg ment of the Tenuessee supreme court was affirmed. ALABAMA’S CAMPAIGN. The Democratic State Convention to be Held May 22. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 22.—The demo cratic state executive committee met in this city to-day to name the date for hold ing the state convention and to apportion the delegates among the different coun ties. The last state convention adopted the population basis instead of the voting basis, as had before been the custom. The executive committee fixed the proportion at one delegate for each 8,000 popula tion and one delegate for each fraction of 1.500. This will give a con vention of something over 500 delegates. The state convention is to be held on May 22, in Montgomery. The beat meet ings throughout the state were ordered for May 12 and county conventions on May 16. An effort was made by Mr. Burgess, of Mobile, to have the convention held in Birmingham, but this was voted down by 19 to 3. No proposition of any kind was submitted to the committee by the Kolbites or any other party, nor was any attempt made to change the qualifications .of the participants in the party primary. The committee adopted a reso lution providing that no selec tion of delegates to con gressional conventions should bo had until after the state elections in August next. The, purpose of this, it is generally understood, is to shut off trading with the Kolb ites by congressmen who are inclined to use this method in order to be re turned. In other words, after the state elections are over the straights will know where to place their men by the kind of work they did during the state campaign. NEILL'S COTTON ESTIMATE. He Sticks to 7,700,000 Bales as the Probable Total. New Orleans. Jan. 22.—Henry M. Neill furnishes the Southern Associated Press with the following statement concerning his estimates of the cotton crop: "Tele grams and circulars sent from New York last week by parties whose names are well known, announced that "Neill has reduced his estimate to 7,400,000 bales. Some said ‘Neill, London,’ others simply Neill. In either form there was no truth in the statement: on the coutrary, in mv letter of tho 16th and in the' Ixmdon circular of the 18th, the es timate of 7,700,000 minimum was strongly affirmed. As one of our London friends says in a cable received this morning; 'lt was a bull invention.’ I leave it to others to characterize the con duct of these New York writer and to Judge how weak must be their position when they find it necessary to resort to such desperate expedients.” Important to Florida Tourists.

FOUNDING TO PIECES. But Little Hope of Saving the Steamer Andes. Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 22.—The steamer Andes, Capt. Williams, which went ashore at 1:30 o’clock this morning off Little Beach, will probably be a total loss, as she now lies in but about 15 feet of water, with the sea founding her heavily. The chances for her getting off are decidedly poor. The vessel is laden with a valuable cargo of coffee, bananas, oranges, and was bound from Costa Itica to New York. A crew of forty men. in addition to the cap tain and officers, are on board, and will remain until all chances for her being saved are exhausted. The two passengers who were on board were this morning taken off by the life-saving crew. CHILD MURDER IN LONDON. Horrible Tortures to Which the Little Ones Are Subjected. London Cor. Globe-Democrat. Chiid murder in London is a science—a science so practical it has become a busi ness and the basis of operation which de clare handsome dividends. The recent imprisonment of Lady Montague for kill ing her baby by hanging her by the arms is but the punishment of a single con spicuous instance of inhuman cruelty among thousands thift happen yearly anil are never brought to iight. The terrible ness of the practice exceeds the atroci ties of the wildest savage in darkest Africa, and no cannibalistic native ever tortured his victim with fewer pangs of consciousness than does the English pro fessional murderer wipe from the earth his share of children whom devil-possessed parents sacrifice for paltry life insurances. Spanish history of the red pages of the days of the inquisitions, show no such art of diabolism. It is officially known that at least 1,000 children a year are killed for hire in this metropolis alone. HORRIBLE TORTURES. The slaughter of the babies on the Ganges was two-fold more human—death by an aligator's Jaws—than the new methods employed by the English Bill Sykeses. Some are hung by straps un til they become limp; others are scarred and burned with hot pokers; one case was recently reported where the child had been held against a blazing stove un til its body was cooked; one was held in a tank of ice water until dead ; others were tortured by having hot oil poured In fresh wounds, several were killed by al lodged accidental falling from high win dows. Yet such desperate means are rarely used—means likely to betray the murderer. Starvation is the favorite method. It leaves no dew, and is equally as deadly as arsenic or laudanum. Other favorite procedures are medicines for dis eases the child has not, man’s food for suckling infants, neglect for the ailing, chilling drafts for the feverish—killing the victim and earning the reward as easily as they would pluck a petal from a rose. The greatest incentive for the slaugh ter of the children is the reward offered for their deaths. While the original in tention of the system of child life insur ance was to enable the needy to suitably bury their dead, the good end of it has been entirely perverted. It has now be come simply a plan whereby persons of no conscience obtain a cash profit by a comparatively safe method of murder—a scheme of neglect varying in degrees of cruelty with the age of the victim. The younger the child, after it is old enough to be insured, the easier the killing and the less the reward. The prize increases with the difficulty of the nefarious game, and so it happens that children of very mature age are the most frequent victims. In fact, the business has grown so ex tensively that it is one of the problems now before parliament. There are 50.000 men in England working from door to door, pestering parents to insure their children. These are working for profit, and for each first penny premium they get twenty pennies pay. It matters not to them that they are selling tickets in a lottery where the thriftless parent gam bles his penny a week against the com pany’s thirty shillings that the child will die, and the coroners of the kingdom swear before the investigating committees that one-half of the children who die mysteriously die with this thirty shilling policy on their heads. MATHEMATICS OF MURDER. The cold mathematics to which the profit and loss of thisi chld-killing has been reduced is one of the most awful of modern facts. The law allows a value of S3O to be placed upon the life of a child under 6 years; up to 10 years it is worth SSO, and over that SI,OOO. The traffic is largely among the desperately poor peo ple, those whom poverty has made des perate and whom debauch has made brutes. The parent usually insures for a penny a week premiums. The figures show that the crisis is usually reached within six months, when the premiums paid amount to 2s 2d. Consequently the family has netted £2los fid upon the death of the infant. From this must be paid the funeral expenses, which thrifty Ixmdon undertakers have reduced to a minimum by burying poor children in job lots—five and often more in the same man-size coffin. Their rates for such service are usually about Iss, and, deducting that amount from the amount of the penny premium policy, less the premiums paid during the six months, the fiend realizes about£l 15s for his nefarious work. This is the lowest possible reward, which leaves ample room for an increase by insuring the child in several concerns and hastening its death. The sum seems small and hardly worth the eost, but it is a great temptation to him who has always been at the very bot tom, torn and wretched by famine and vice. It means paid rent or anew de bauch. Parental instinct is hard to ob literate, but thousands of cases are shown in London every year where mothers’ love and fathers' solicitude have been en tirely wiped out by the fearful business of killing children for insurance money. There is a society waging an unequal war against this business—the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. It has a big hospital on Harper street, Bloomsbury, within shadow of the Brit ish museum, and here are seen scores of children rescued from the hands of their i intending slayers. Hardly an hour in the i day passes but that a carriage rolls up to 1 the door and there is lifted out a child covered with dirt, filth and mildew, found by some agent in a stench-filled attic, alley, shed or damp cellar. But the other day five victims were brought from a sin gle slaughter-pen. When the door was broken in a strong man vomited, so strong was the atmosphere. Upon the floor were two boys unable to stand from hunger and disease; two more were strapped to old chairs, and the third lay upon a rotten blanket. Two had single flaunels around their loins, and the others wore short cotton frocks. When found they did not cry; they were too weak. Not one of them belonged to the owner of the den, but all had been sent to her to dis|x>se of. This monster is now doing prison service, and tho children live - all but one. The society’s books show 8,000 Just such cases un earthed. and now it has 8,051 parents under supervision for cruelty, and the prisons hold 1,130 fiends for cowardly, foul child murder or cruelty. A SAMPLE CASE. One case selected at random records how a boy 10 years old was found who weighed but 25 pounds. He had been starved until every bone in his body was visible through the skin. His task was to carry flat-irons up and down stairs from daylight to dark each dav. Up and down ho plodded,’often for thirty-six hours, without food, and when he‘was allowed rations he ate them as he tramped. He was rescued just before the starvation proved fatal, and his inhuman father mourns the loss of his policy be hind the bars. The history of another boy is most ter rible. He is 10years old. and the son of a carpenter. His life was insure! for £lO. Later, as death seemed sure, the father increased the policy to £2O. and it was while the reward was thus large that the victim was found. A neighbor happened to look over the back fence one day and saw him eating the leavings at the dog kennel. When called he managed to crawl under the fence and receive a little food. For this his demon-mother punished him with a walking stick and soothed the smarting wounds with salt. The partners in his proposed murder said in court they were out of work and needed the policy money. Both are in prison. The most desperate child-slaughter house in London was for a long time ad vertised under the head of "Children to Adopt.” After a cautious investigation the society found seven children locked in a piggery—all being starved to death for sums ranging from £3 to £lO. Of the seven two died on the evening of the raid. One of the little girls was an absolute skeleton. While her weight naturally would have been twenty-two pounds, she weighed but ten. Her limbs were frozen and had begun to decay It seemed far better that she should die. But a few weeks of care awakened her to life, and now she is a handsome girl. The brutes who thus murdered for hire will serve the rest of their lives in a workhouse. “I couldn't sleep a wink last night,” remarked the newly blessed benedict, "on account of a discordion that kept play ing all night.” "Discordion!” exclaimed his wife. ‘‘What new instrument is that?” “Only the baby,” was the yawning re ply.—Cincinnati Commercial.
