Forfeited.
Atlanta. Ga.. Jan. 17.-Gov. Candler win
announce within the next few d.i>s the
names of a number of prominent Georgians
to attend the convention of national
guardsmen to be held in Tampa on P * b. 8
next. He now has the* matter under ad
visement. The Governor regards th*- eom
ing convention as a highiy imporlant one,
and the delegates he will name will be
composed of thoroughlj representatlve
members of the state volunteer s-rvice.
Jt is understood! that several Savannall
ians will lie named. Tic militia organiza
tions of many of the stat>s suffered great
demoralization on account of the raising
of the volunteer army for the Spanish war,
anil it Is to consider prana for general or
ganization and improvement in the light
of the experience that the Tallahassee
convention has been called.
Georgia’s voluntei r service was almost
wrecked by this experience, combined with
the refusal of the legislature to make any
appropriation to sustain it. and I he coming
convention is therefore of especial interest
# in this state.
Milk and Butter Schedule.
The Railroad Commission held a called
meeting to-day for the purpose of con
sidering the new* milk and butter schedule
which was recently made out with a view
to encouraging the dairy interest of the
state. The new tariff was referred to the
express company for Information on cer
tain details, and the met ting to-day was
devoted to perfecting the sheet. The new
rates will be published some time this
month.
Another meeting of the commission will
be held on next Tuesday, at which time
the Atlanta and West Point Railroad Com
pany will be cited to show why it should
not be advanced from class 2 to class 1.
If the West Point is thus advanced, and
there seems to be little doubt that it will
be, as the commission, some months ago,
issued such an order, but suspended it be
cause of the demoralization in the road s
traffic caused by the yellow fever, the ef
fect will be to cause a general reduction
of 10 per cent, on all tariff rates. At pres
ent the Western and Atlantic and the
Georgia are the only roads in the state in
class 1.
Geo log lea I Investigation.
The eonlmittee appointed to investigate
the geological department met in room 23
at the capitol to-day and organized for
work, Senator Wingfield being made
chairman, and Mr. Adams, representative
from Putnam, secretary. Senator Perk
ins was the only absentee. He is ill at
his home, but is expected to be on hand
shortly. The other members are Repre
sentatives Hamby of Rabun and Tatum
of Dade.
Nothing was done to-day except to or
ganize and discuss the preliminary of the
investigation, which may take a couple
of weeks. It is the purpose of the com
mittee to first proceed to establish or dis
prove the proposition that the state is i>e
ing benefited to the value of ss,ouo a year
by the survey, that being the aniount of
annual appropriation. After this line is
completed, then the Investigation will pro
ceed to see whether the present officials
have done their duty or ought to be re
moved from office.
Stole Overcoats to l’nj Board.
A well dressed man, giving his name as
Simon Shepperd, and claiming to have
come to Atlanta from Edgefield county,
South Carolina, was arrested here to-day
upon a charge of larceny. He claimed to
have been employed by the Manhattan
Life Insurance Company, but this was de
nied at the local offices of that company.
The man confeseed to having stolen sev
eral overcoats from hotels, some of which
he pawned, others which were at his
boarding house being recovered by the de
tectives.
Shepperd, as he calls himself, is well ed
ucated and has the appearance of a re
spectable clerk or business man. He says
he got hard up after coming to Atlanta
and had to steal to get money to pay his
board. The police think he is a smooth
ell round crook.
Stein's Bond Forfeited.
The criminal bond under which Orth
Stein, formerly editor of Looking Glass,
published both here and in Savannah, was
held upon a charge of carrying concealed
weapons, was forfeited by Judge Candler
in the Superior Court to-day. The amount
of the bond was S3OO, his bondsman being
Capt. E. P. Howell.
Stein's troubles were many in Atlanta.
This particular one was with Judge John
D. Berry of the City Court, the judge hav
ing assaulted the editor with a bottle of
tabasco sauce In the Kimball House din
ing room. Shortly after this occurred the
Looking Glass suspended, and Stein 1 >e
took himself to N**w Orleans, where he is
now supposed to be.

Rome, Ga., Jan. 17.—An infuriated ne
gro woman named Maggie Haney ma<le a
murderous attack on two white women
in the Fifth ward this afternoon. The

injured, and may die before morning. The
negro woman is in jail.

DYSPEPSIA CURE
EAGAN MUST FACE A COURT.
Continued from First Page.
Miles made rather oh unusual call upon
two of the members of the cabinet. Secre
taries Hay and Hong. He had just return
ed to the city from New York, and when
spoken to with reference to the Eagan
case adhered to bis original declaration
Huit this was not a time for him to act,
if at all, having the tnmllcallon that if
the commission did not act. or the adminis
tration, ii would then be time for him to
take some step.
The commissary general was on duty as
usual at nls. crtlire, and business apparently
going along in the usual way, although it
was noticed that there were mors callers
upon (Jen. Eagan, of the official class,
uamely, officers of his own corps, than is
usually the case.
•’riot- to the cabinet meeting he said thut
lie was prepared to accept loyally what
ever action the President might decide to!
take.
Eagan's Amended Statement.
I he war investigating commission to-day
made public the a men. let] statement filed
by commissary General Eagan yesterday.
The commission permitted the representa
tives of the press to r.ea.l the statement,
and it was formally announced to the
newspaper men that Gen. Eagan had
eliminated ajl objectional statements and
therefore, the document would be accept
ed officially by the commission as evidence.
As already stated, the changes made by
Gen. Eagan In the document are mainly in
the line of excision, yet the phraseology
has also been altered frequently.
He refers to Gen. Miles as “the senior
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,” and while
keeping strictly within the line of pro
priety in the judgment of the commission.
In a negative manner at least, he resents
any assumption of Gen. Miles’ superiority,
and asserts that he is as good, as old,
and as experienced a soldier as Gen. Miles.
it Is believed that so far as the com
mission is concerned the incident is now
closed.
Glltson Says Beef AAns Had.
Another witness was heard to-day in the
person of Col. Gibson, the distributing
agent of the National Relief Commission
at Santiago. He testified that he carried
supplies to the sick there on the Resolute.
He had hn,l great difficulty in landing
these supplies owing to the confusion. Gen.
Shafter had refused him assistance, and it
was with great difficulty that he was able
to hire horses. He succeeded in this
finally, and with the assistance of Gen.
Wheeler the supplies were carried inland.
Respecting the quality of the beef fur
nished the troops Col. Glltson said the
canned* corn beef was bad, unfit for use
and should not have been issued. It was
repulsive in appearance, stringy and he
himself had been unable to eat it. The
refrigerated beef was likewise bad, being
covered with a green I Kan I caused by ex
posure to the. sun’s rays. The commission
adjourned until to-morrow.
AA ill Be Placed In dor Arrest.
Secretary Alger to-nfght confirmed tlie
announcement made by members of the
cabinet to-day (hat a court-martial for
the trial of Commissary General Eagan
would be ordered. He made this state
ment as he was leaving the White House
with Adjt. Gen. Corbin, after a conference
of half an hour with the President.
As to the charges to be preferred against
the commissary general, the secretary de
clined to say anything, nor would he talk
respecting the personnel of the court, add
ing that this would be announced to-mor
row night about 9 o'clock.
Gen. Eagan has not yet been relieved
of his duties In anticipation of his prospec
tive trial, hut it is understood that the
order for his arrest preparatory to trial
will of Itself carry with it his relief from
official duties.
It w*qs said at the war department to
day that the order for arrest may be
served on Gen. Eagan by an officer of the
army some time during the official day to
morrow. This then will enable him to
make formal application for the privilege
of going beyond the limits in which he
ordinarily would be confined, and permit
hint to come to the department or to go to
any other place as he may find it neces
sary.

FIFTH CIRCUIT’S NEW JUDGE.
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MAKES A
FAVORABLE REPORT.

Washington, Jan. 17.—(Special) —Georgia
Is now of an additional circuit
judge.
The House committee on Judiciary to
day made a favorable report on the bill
providing for the creation of an additional
circuit judgeship in the Fifth circuit. The
bill has already passed the Senate, so
there is now no practical opposition to it.
This act on the part of the Heuse has
opened up gossip concerning possible can
didates, and there is a prospect of a large
number of aspir-ants. Already four Geor
gia lawyers are in the field. Three of
these are from Atlanta. They are Coi.
John T. Glenn, Judge H. B. Tompkins
and Judge W. R. Hammond. Judge
Tompkins is here surveying the scene.
Col. Glenn seems to have the strongest
backing from Republican sources, and is
regarded here as the most likely candi
date.
The Alabama Republicans will present
the name of D. B. Shelby of Huntsville,
one of the best lawyers in the state, and
he will have strong backing from that
state.
Bay's Men to Come Home.
Col. Ray's Third Regiment of Immunes
is to return from Cuba within the next
thirty days and fresh troops are to be
sent to take their place.
The change is made because the depart
ment feels that this regiment of Georgians,
having home the brunt of hard service
during the summer months, is entitled to
come home to rest and recuperate. The
opinion is expressed about the war depart
ment that this means the muster out of
the regiment, but those who are familiar
with the way in which those things are
worked, say this would depend very large
ly. if not altogether, upon the wishes of
the man In command, for they recognize
the influence which Col. Ray can com
mand both at the White House and at the
war department.
AATilte Soldiers to Stay.
Congressman Bartlett secured from
Adjt. Gen. Corbin to-day the promise that
the white soldiers now stationed at Macon
will be kept there until after the muster
out of the colored regiment. This is done
for the purpose of better preserving order.
Senator Clay and Judge Maddox have
secured the discharge from Col. Ray’s reg
iment of Robert C. McCreary of Rome,
who is discharged for the reason that he
is badly needed at home owing to the se
rious illness of his father.
MENKO TAKES HIS OAVN LIFE.
Shot Himself AA bile Temporarily
Insane at Mobile.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 17.—Jacob Menko of
this city committed suicide at the South
ern Hotel in Mobile to-day by shooting
himself through the breast.
His relatives say he was suffering from
temporary mental aberration, having left
Atlanta for Mobile to take medical treat
ment from a doctor there.
At the Mobile hotel he, registered under
the name of "J. McGovern." Upon tlie
table of the room in w'hieh he killed him
self he left a note saying that "Drs. Bon
durant and Inge will take care of me."
They were the doctors whom he had 'gone
to consult.
Menko was 32 years of ago, and had
lived in Atlanta all of ills life, being a
successful business man. For years he
was secretary of the Southern Agricul
tural Works.
About a year ago he was taken to New
York for medical treatment, after having
made an attempt to take his life by pois
oning himself while temporarily insane
He came back here last December, but
as he was still suffering, arrangements
were made to have him treated by Dr.
Bondurant, a specialist.
The body w ill be brought here for burial.
MERCER'S BIBLE STUDIES.

Macon, Ga., Jan. 37.—Mercer University
is having a week of Bible study by lec
tures from such men as Rev. William E.
Hatcher, D. D., of Richmond; Prof. A.
T. Robertson of the Baptist Seminary,
Rev. VV. A\ r . Landrum of the Atlanta First
Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. H. McDonald
of Atlanta and others. The lessons will

Monroe Phillips is operating a log cart
at his hardwood saw mill, just below Ma
con, on the Ocmulgee, that requires four
teen oxen to pull it. He says he is get
ting a great many more orders than lie
can fill, many coming from Europe.
The friends of Mr. Robbie M. Craig, who
was knocked down and rolx.l of SBO last
night on his way home, are very much
concerned about his condition. He re
ceived a dangerous blow* on the head, but
the physicians say lie will recover. He
thinks a negro soldier struck him. He
was unconscious a long while.
The prosecution of (he illegal registra
tion eases by prohibitionists are not pan
ning out. Another one was quashed to
day because the indiclment did not show
to w*hom the delinquent taxes w*ere due.
Anoth n r class of these cases is that in
which the registered man has been con
victed of crime. Some of these will be
tried at an early dale.

THIRD KENTUCKY ON THE WAY.
Regiment AA ill Arrive Here Tn-dny
to Take a Transport.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 17. —Promptly at 2:20
o'clock this afternoon the entire Third
Kentucky Regiment marched down Broad
street on their way to the dei>ot, where
they took the train for Savannah.
On the balcony of the Rankin, Gen.
Wiley and his staff were standing to re
view the soldiers as they passed. The
hand, which preceded the boys in btue,
struck up the soul-inspiring strains of
“Dixie," and for a moment pandemonioum
reigned, cheer after cheer rent the air,
and from 1,000 lusty throats came the
cry of ’'Hurrah.” Citizens lined the side
walks to take one last look at the men.
The men were dressed in heavy march
ing order. The march down Broad street
was an impressive one, and will be long
remembered by the citizens of Columbus.
At the depot the boys were met by a large
crowd, which came to bid them farewell.
When the train pulled out of the station,
at 4:15 o’clock, for Savannah, the wildest
enthusiasm reigned among the men. The
soldiers left on three special trains, and
will reach Savannah to-morrow.

A Good AA’ord for the Late Mr.
Bull.
Bendor, Ga., Jan. 16.—Editor of the
Morning News: In your Issue of the 14th,
on page three, la an article headed “Nu
merical Street Names." In particular I
note what Col Mercer says of changing
the name of Bull street. I think if any
one will take the trouble to read Stephens’
history of Georgia he will find Col. Bull
did a great deal more than give a few
barrels of gun powder to the colony. On
page 87, volume first, you will find: “Ogle
thorpe, accompanied by Col. William Bull
of South Carolina, Went forward to the
Savannah river, to select a site for the
projected settlement.”
Page 91: "On the 9th, Oglethorpe and
Col. Bull marked out the square, the
streets, and forty lots for houses;” further
down the same page: “They further ap
pointed Col. William Bull one of the gov
ernor's council.”
Page 92: “Col. Bull came to Savannah
with four laborers, and assisted the colo
ny for a month; he himself measuring the
scantling, and setting out the work for
the sawyers, and giving the proportion of
the houses;" down on same page: “Col.
Bull and Mr. Bryan came to Savannah
with twenty servants whose labor they
gave to the colony." I think it would ire
most unworthy were the citizens of Sa
vannah to change the name of Bull street
for any other, the man who first made
it and gave his individual efforts to estab
lish the then infant city is certainly the
one who should continue to have the street
named after him and bear it as long as
Savannah shall be a city. Historian.
