Maj. Candler has brought tile matter to

ment may bo inaugurated lo succor the
sufferers from the recent storm.
S. Lafayette Aimand, the Conyers mer
chant. who got inte) financial tangle and
skipped out to California lo avoid facing
his creditors, and C. P. Johnson, the form
er Atlanta saloon ke- per, who got hold of
$7,000 worth of old man J. A. McCauley's
bonds and carried them oft to New York
to start a saloon on the Bowery, after the
old man's death, we-re l>oth indicted by
the Fulton county grand jury to-day.
Aininnd tan Not .Settle Now,
Aimand was to have been given a pre
liminary trial this afternoon, but in the
face of the indictment this was dispensed
with and he will now have to stand trial
before the Superior Court.
The indictment wiil make it difficult for
his friends to settle with his creditors
or victims and relieve him from prosecu
tion. Reports of an intended settlement
have been in circulation ever since he
was landed behind the prison bars here.
The Indictment returned by the grand
Jbry to-day charged larceny after trust,
and is based upon the testimony of Presi
dent John Oliver of the Georgia Cotton
Oil Company, who accused Aimand of
having misappropriated eome SBOO width
had been advanced to him by that com
pany for the purpose of buying cotton
seed for them.
Two ( barges Against Johnson.
Johnson is indicted upon two counts, one
charge being perjury, and the other Sar
ceny after trust.
In one Instance, It is alleged, that he
swore that he knew nothing of the where
abouts of McCauley’s bonds, though at
that very time he had them in his fosses -
eion. In the other he is accused of having
stolen these bonds after having procured
them from the Atlanta National Bank
upon an or.ler purporting to have been
signed by McCauley, the owner.
It looks as if Johnson is in a tight place,
though he declared that he lias done
nothing wrong and has asked the public
t<\ suspend judgment until after the trial,
nppeal ng to his twenty-year's record in
this city to prove his integrity and good
character.
During the civil suit to recover the bonds,
Johnson is said to have steadily denied to
his lawyer that he knew anything about
them. Both Johnson and ills lawyer at
that time, wore members of the Catholic
Church. When the lawyer demanded to
know the truth of the bond mystery, John
son is said to have replied that he would
swear in the presence of the Pope him
self that he had not the slightest idea
"•ere the missing lionds were, or what
had become of them after hr delivered
them to McCauley on his death bed. This
lawyer is not now representing Johnson,
since the saloon man haa admitted that he
took the bonds to New York and sold
them.
Hug Committee to Meet.
A meeting of the State Board of Ento
mology, created under act of the legisla
ture at its last session, will lie held at
Ih* Hotel Lanier, Macon, on*next Wed
nesday, Jan. 18. Commissioner of Agri
culture Stevens, who Is at the head of
the board, called the meeting to-day. The
Other members of the board are J. Pope
Brown, preskient of the State Agricul
tural Society, and P. J. Berckmnns, pres
ident of the State Horticultural Society.

E. P. Chamberlain's Will.
The will of the late E. P. Chamberlain
was filed for probate with the ordinary to
day. ii bequeaths SI,OOO to Emory Col
lege, and SSOO to Trinity Church of lids
city, of which Mr. Chamberlain was a
member.
Dr. Morgan Calloway, a professor of
Emory, was remembered by a S2OO legacy.
Tlie balance of the/cstate was left to the
w idow, son and daughter, , anally. No
schedule was attached, and the' value of
the estate does not appear, though it is
conceded to lie very large.
The Street Hallway Muddle.
At the taking of testimony In Hie street
railway controversy to-day, Indore Com
missioner McCord, it was shown that Joel
Hurt, the Consolidate genius, was the
guiding hand !)ehind the Perkins suit,
brought to stop the Atlanta Railway
Company from taking up the west side
franchises.
Perkins appeared upon the scene of ac
tion in the form of a stockholder of the
Atlanta company, and his bill was brought
as a stockholder to prevent his company
Vfrom accenting these franchises upon the
plea that such acceptance would ruin the
company, and thus damage the petitioner
as a stockholder.
It appeared from the investigation to
day that Joel Hurt engineered the whole
deal, and that Perkins and others who
had Atlanta stock transferred to them
knew absolutely nothing about it
until after it had been done.
It was Mr, Hurt who then got
Perkins to go to the law office of
Hopkins & Sons and arrange for tile in
junction proceedings. The bill bad already
been drawn up by the lawyers, however,
and all Perkins had to do was to attach
h!s signature.
Hun also arranged for the lawyers’
fees, Perkins testified.
It has been alleged from the outset that
>the Consolidated people were trying to
wreck the Atlanta company, and the reve
lation of the part taken in the Perkins suit
by Mr. Hurt, the head of the former com
pany, are exceedingly interesting in con
nection with these rhurgi-s. Tip to date
the Atlanta company seems to have had
all the better of the legal battle, and it
looks as if they are to knock the Consol
idated out entirely, walking off with the
whole of the West Side franchises.

Cify Attorney Underwood Went for
Editor Knowles for Pruefienlly
the Same Reason.
Rome, Ga., Jan. 12.—T0-day Rome has
been in the throes of sensational excite
ment caused by a personal difficulty be
tween Col. B. F. Sawyer, editor of the
Evening Argus, and two sons of City
Clerk Halsted Smith.
The affair occurred about 8 o’clock this
morning on the Broad street bridge. The
boys, Holmes Smith and Norris Smith, had
called at Col. Sawyer's home Tuesday
night, and told him he must quit pub
lishing certain editorials criticising the
City Council very severely for increasing
the city clerk's salary, and also the city
attorney's opinion which held that the
Council's action was legal In doing this.
Yesterday afternoon the Argus published
another scathing article, telling of the
Smith boys' call on the editor. Therefore,
the difficulty to-day was not unexpected.
In the fight Col. Sawyer was struck sev
eral times with a steel-rod cane, and his
wrist was bruised, while Norris Smith
was cut about the head several times by
Robert Sawyer, who was with his father.
Smith's wounds were not serious. The
parties have been arrested and will be
tried before Recorder Eubanks.
Underwood Goes for Knowles.
Cily Attorney Underwood and Mr. W. A.
Knowles, editor of the Tribune, had a per
sonal difficulty in the Tribune office yester
day afternoon. Mr. Knowles has made the
following statement to the News corre
spondent:
“City Attorney Underwobd came to the
Tribune office with his friend, Lem Early.
He had in his hand an editorial clipped
from the Tribune which commented on his
legal opinion in reference to the increase
of city clerk's salary. I told him I would
publish any statement he would write and
give me. He replied that he demanded a
retraction. I refused, stating that I sup
posed tie and his friend had come up for
a difficulty, and I further said that the ed
itorial was a just and a fair criticism of
his opinion. He called me a liar and I
struck him several times with my fist. We
were then separated. This is all I care to
say aboul the matter."
City Attorney Underwood to-night re
fused to make any statement. Mr. Under
wood’s head was badjy cut by a large dia
mond ring on Mr. Knowles’ finger.
CONTEST IN CORDELE.
iujiinellon Against Newly Elected
Municipal Ticket.
Cordele, Ga., Jan. 12.—Chafing under de
feat, Mr. Scandrett and his friends have
decided to contest the municipal election,
held here yesterday, and have obtained
an Injunction from Judge VV. B. Butt of
Chattahoochee circuit restraining Mr. C.
C. Cults and the aldermen elected with
him from serving. It is claimed that the
affidavit on which the injunction was is
sued and the injunction actually received
here before the election count was made.
The affidavit was based on the poll
ing and counting of unqualified voters, by
which Mr. Cutts and his aldermen were
elected. There is but little doubt that
some non-qualified voters for both tickets
participated lu the election, but to what
extent only a contest can decide. The
election was conspicuously free from
drunkenness and fighting, considering the
healed state of feeling. A few small
drunks and quarrels occurred. Mr. Cutts
and his aldermen were sworn in office be
fore the injunction was served. It is
claimed by Mr. Cutis and his friends that
the opposition, fearing that the election
would go against them, had the injunction
papers all ready; and the papers actually
were received here before the result was
announced. The actual status of affairs
in tliis connection I have been unable to
obtain.
About 2 o'clock last night the residence
occupied by Dr. Howard LM. Smith was
nearly totally destroyed by fire. The
building was owned by Dr. Williams of
this city. The house and furniture were
fully covered by insurance.
Saw-milling is much delayed on account
of rainy weather, and mills are very much
behind on all orders.
BANK DECLARES A DIVIDEND,

this afternoon, both parties thereto being

of them, who is a stranger here, loitered
out near the railroad shops, and when
his victim approached carrying dinner to a
shot) employe he shot him down. Several
witnesses state the killing was entirely
unprovoked. The murderer fled and is still
at large, though he Is being pursued by
