Atlanta, Jan. 20.—After spending a large
amount of money to secure his election
to office, carrying on a campaign that
lasted months, City Treasurer Thomas J.
Peeples found liimseif to-day shorn of
fruits of his victory. This situation was
brought about by the action of C'tty Coun
cil, approved by the Mayor, this after
noon.
The ifity treasurer's salary is merely
nominal, the profits of the position ac
cruing from the the use of the city’s de
posits, which amount to in the neighbor
hood of $150,000 on daily balance the year
round. The treasurer has always been an
officer of some hank, his Imnk being after
the deposit.
For ten years J. T. Orine, cashier of
the Lowry Hanking Company, was city
treasurer. Then Thomas J. Peeples, cash
ier of the Maddox-Rucker Bank, entered
the lists, and, after a campaign that equal
ed the mayoralty race in interest, defeat
ed the old treasurer. He expected to start
out the new year by dumping the city's
big pile of cash into his bank.
Mr. Peeples had made the $200,000 bond
required, and was calmly waiting for the
time to take the cash in hand, when some
one, nobody seems to know just exactly
who, dug up an old ordinance which made
It incumbent upon the city to deposit its
funds with such hanks as would pay the
.best interest upon it. Under this, bids
were asked. Treasurer Peoples' bank, for
some reason, did not consider it neces
sary to offer interest. Hence, when Coun
cil opened the bids, two rival banks got
the funds.
A great protest was made by the Mad
dox-Rucker Bank and Treasurer Peeples,
and strong efforts were made to get Mayor
Woodward to veto the action of Council.
He, however, refused to, because he saw
$3,000 ahead for the city from the interest
offered by the competing banks. Treas
urer Peeples now occupies the position of
being treasurer without the right to say
with whom the money shall he deposited,
and he will at once resign his office, he
says.
Nothing has occurred in local affairs
since the advent of the new administration
to cause as much "rag chewing" among
the factions.
A Inland Oat on Ilonil.
S. L. Almand, the Conyers young man
who was brought to Fulton county jail ten
days ago, charged with having swindled
various concerns out of large sums of
money, afterwards skipping out to the
Pacific slope, was released to-day upon
a $5,000 bond made by his father, im
mediately after being released from Jail
under the Fulton county indictment, he
was placed under arrest upon a warrant
taken out in Rockdale county charging
defalcation there, and taken In custody
by the sheriff of that county, to Conyers.
It is understood that bond will lie made
for him there also.
Almand’s family, which was highly in
fluential in Rockdale county, realize that
he is in a pretty tight place, and finally
it appears, have determined to do all they
can to get him out. One of the indict
ments against him in Fulton county, wns
ca.led up in court yesterday and quashed
on account of a technical error.
Our li ain Given n Divorce.
Dr. W. M. Durham, a well known phy
sician. was granted a total divorce from
his wife in the Superior Court to-day. The
case has a dramatic flavor about It which
has caused it to attract more than ordin
ary attention.
Mrs. Durham for several 4’ears was
quite well known in the city, being ex
ceedingly handsome and of possessing
manners. The doctor is many years her
senior. When his wife developed a dis
position for the dramatic, she induced him
to supply her with funds witli which lo
go east and cultivate these aspirations. It
ended by public announcement of ner de
termination to make the stage a regular
profession. This caused the climax.
Dr. Durham, in his testimony before the
divorce court, said one day when his
actress wife came to his office and de
manded money, he refused, having already
spent $15,000 to cure her of the stage. She
then picked up a glass and hurled it at his
head, he said. This missil struck his silk
hat and shattered it. But for the hat he
thought he might have been seriously in
jured. The court thought ihe doctor had
suffered enough, and so released him from
matrimonial ties. The fair defendant's
stage name is Aria Bowen.
She Marries the Artist.
Another local ease of some interest to
the romancer came before the court to
day. This also involved a divorce, though
the sundering of the matrimonial tie was
not the only feature. One of the parties
involved was a man, who signs the name
of Jules Rembrandt, and claims lo be an
artist, probably a descendant of the old
master of the same name.
Some months ago Rembrandt and a wo
man, who passed as liis wife, made their
appearance in Atlanta, putting up at a
highly respectable boarding house on
Houston street. They were apparently
"nice people," and made a good many
friends. One day ihere was consternation
when a man giving his name as Conley
came in from Texas, and claimed the wo
man as his wife. The police took a hand,
and Rembrandt's pistol was also in evi
dence.
The net result was the arrest of the
artist and the woman for living together
In violation of the laws. She declared her
love for the artist, and refused to go back
to the Lone Star state with her husband,
though he offered to take her for the sake
of their little boy.
Rembrandt Fined IjtlOO.
Conley was a man of some means, and
his wife had become infatuated with Ihe
artist while taking painting lessons from
him, their elopement to Atlanta being the
f consequence. Conley went back to his
Texas home and got a divorce. As soon
as the news of this reached Atlanta there
was a marriage ceremony ut this end of
the line, and when the pair was arraigned
In court, the production of (he marriage
certificate stopped further prosecution. A
fine of SIOO was dropped on Rembrandt for
the part he had played with his pistol,
which will probably serve as u substantia]
reminder to him of the manner in which
‘he came by his wife.
There was no development to-day in the
strike at the Southern Railway shops.
None of the eighty-five men who went out
yesterday returned to their work to-day,
but business went on as usual, without
apparent inconvenience on account of the
short force.

AT THE UNIVERSITY,
Students Make n Success of the Mess
Hull I’lan—Other Mutters.
Athens, Ga., Jan. 20.—A number of the
university boys are by actual experiment
demonstrating the fact that under the
mess hall system a university education
can be placed within the reach of all the
aspiring poor young men in the state.
Twenty-five students have established a
mess hail in a large building in the Cam
pus, the faculty giving them the use of
the building and equiping the kitchen and
dining room for them. They have hired
a matron, Mrs. Mary Lane, formerly of
the Girl's Normal and Industrial College
at Milledgeville, paying her $25 per month.
They have good table board, good service,
clean table linen, and, in fact, live com
fortably on $7.50 per month. .When the
cold weather leaves this amount will be
reduced to $0.50.
Commencement the board of trustees
will be asked to furnish a larger building
and to pay the matron's salary, so that
the advantages of the mess hall system
may be extended to a large number of
students. This plan will enable a young
man to reduce his expenses and the uni
versity each year to less than SIOO.
Mr. Edward Finnegan, captain of. ihe
Third New Jersey foot ball team, has de
cided to enter the University of Georgia
so soon as his regiment is mustered out.
He will lake a course In history and po
litical economy. Mr. Finnegan in addi
tion to being an excellent foot ball player,
is also a tine base ball catcher, and ex
cels In track athletics. He will remain
at ihe university two years before te
turoing North.
The Padora editors are now busily
engnged on the volume for 1899, which
promises to excel any of its predecessors.
The ex!>erimont of keeping the univer
sity library open at night is proving to
be a success and is a great convenience
to the students.
The Fifteenth Pennsylvania Regiment
will be mustered out about Jan. 31, and
the Third New Jersey Regiment will leave
the service about Feb. 3.

WEEKLY DIGEST OF TRADE.
GOOD MOVEMENT IN MARKETS AT
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

Iron and Steel Mill* Nece**ary to
Keep Up With Orders—Week’* Ex
port*.
New York, Jan. 20.—R. G. Dun & Cos. s
weekly review' of trade will say to-mor
row:
“Anew year rarely opens brilliantly.
Too many traders have to wait for the
demand, which in winter comes slowly.
The industries resist fairly well the ten
dency to unlimited expansion which some
have to meet. Speculation in produce is
gaining but little, while in stocks, an enor
mous volume of business results in con
tinnally higher prices.
• Tne volume of payments through clear
ing houses is extraordinary, 42.7 per cent,
larger than in 1892, even the transactions
outside of New York showing a gain over
1892 of 44.6 per cent. Speculation at New
York, therefore, cannot be the main cause
of gain. Difficulties between holders of
material and manufacturers continue to
hinder in some industries, and in some
way prove seriously embarrassing, but the
activity is on the whole unsurpassed hith
erto, and the volume of traffic is beyond
all expectations.
"In some branches consumption is run
ning beyond the producing capacity, but
in others it is hindered by doubts about
the future supplies and prices of materi-
als.
\\ Ith Wool anti Cotfon.
"The woolen manufacturer is still wait
ing, with only a moderate demand for
goods as yet. The production Is large, and
considerably larger than in recent years,
but does not nearly approach the capac
ity of the mills. Sales of woolens for the
past three weeks at the trading centers
of the Eastern markets have been 16,495,-
800 pounds, against 22,322,970 last year, and
prices of domestic fleece are lower, with
present demand running largely to quarter
and half-blood and Australian cross-bred.
But there Is not enough change in ma
terial, or In demand for goods to encour
age heavy buying by manufacturers as
yet.
“The cotton manufacturer has a large
demand for goods, but raw cotton has so
rapidly advanc'd that possible buyers ap
prehend a fall, and there is hesitation in
the purchases of staples. YV ith the re
ceipts of cotton far ahead of last year's,
the greatest crop ever raised, there is now
apprehension that good qualities may fall
short before the year closes. Much cot
ton remains in the fields yet unpicked on
account of had weather, and Is deteriorat
ing In quality. The silk manufacturer,
notwithstanding many threats of interfer
ence and disputes about duties, seems to”
be making steady progress.
Bin Hun In Irvin anil Steel.
The Iron and steel manufacture leads
all other In the volume of new business.
While production is much the largest ever
known, many of the works are withdraw
ing ail quolations or naming prohibitory
prices in order to check orders which they
cannot fill for months to come, and do not
want to accept at current prices.
The number of such works is rapidly
increasing as the heavy demand for ma
terials covers many months' capacity.
Bessemer pig is a shade higher at $10.90,
with sales of 25,0(10 tons at Pittsburg, end,
there is something like a famine in grey
forge, with sales at $9.75, althongh one
sale at $9.99 in the valley is reported.
While finished products are in very great
demand, especially for car building and
special woiks at the West, the week shows
no advance in prices excepting fifty cents
per ton in steel rails at the East.
Wheat and Corn Export*.
These conditions favor continuance of
the extraordinary foreign trade, which
resulted in the greatest balance in favor
of this country ever known. January this
year indicates a similar excess of exports
over imports, and while wheat exixnks
have increased every month since last Au
gust, there have been in three weeks 15.-
078,077 bushels, flour inciuded. from both
coasts, against 11.899,952 bushels last year.
Corn exports have been quite up to last
year’s unprecedented record, amounting to
9,509,899 bushels, against 9,270,189 for three
weeks of January last year. Although
prices have declined about one-half of a
cent, the contest between speculators In
wheat at the West and at the East, has
held prices fairly steady with an advance
of only an eighth for the week.
Cotton fell lo 6 cents, but afterward rose
to 6.12 cents, without satisfactory reason
in trading, but because of apprehension
that supplies of good quality might fall
short.
Failures for the week have been 249 In
the United States, against 374 last year,
and 32 In Canada, against 63 last year,
