Itepul>l!ean Convention.
Atlanta. Doc. 29.—For the past few
years, the top floor of the capitol has
been converted Into a "lodging house for
some of the state officials and their
ftglEds. But Gov. Candler ha? put a stop
id it. and there will be no more sleepers
in the capitol, except Col. Byrd, and he
will remain there at the request of the
>;>. Go.ernor to look after the building, so it
Ii n p#t and.
I The lodgers remained in the capitol
till just previous to the assembling of the
Legislature, when they moved out, as was
their custom. But they will not move
back as was their wont, as it now' trans
pires that when they yrere preparing to
temporarily move out to make room for
the committees there would be no more
lodgings to let by 4he state.
Two years ago some of the federal offi
cials were snugly housed in the top floor
of the custom house on Marietta street,
and even went farther, it is said, than
the capitol officials alluded to, as they
established, along with their lodgings, an
excellent cuisine department.
The state Senate passed a resolution just
before adjournment instructing the keeper
of public buildings not to allow any of
the furniture to be moved from the Sen
ate chamber or any of the committee
rooms. It had been the custom, it was
affirmed for the officials down stairs to
utilize the tables in the committee rooms
by having them brought down to meir
offices, and it was a ban! matter to re
place them when they were called for by
the committees.
No doubt Col. Byrd will profit by the
hint given him by the Senate and probihit
the use of the House furniture as well.
Guette Wan Recommended.
Gov. Candler says he has received eev
cral applications for positions on the Em
balming Board, since he made the appoint
ment. One of these came from Savannah,
the Governor to-day having received a let
ter from Hon. Fleming dußignon, recom
mending Undertaker Goette of Savannah.
He say® he would have gladly given one
of the places to Savannah had there been
any application from there before the
time when he made the appointments.
The Governor will attend the marriage
In Savannah of Miss dußignon to Mr. Als
tpn of Atlanta, and says that while there,
he will Inquire of Chairman dußignon
of the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee as to the time he will call the com
mittee together. It is the belief here that
the committee will be called to meet some
time in January.
Railroad 'raven.
The railroads of the state have, with
one or two minor exceptions, completed
the payments of their taxes to the state,
counties and cities for the year 1899, and
the total aggregates about $635,000, and is
divided as follows:
“To the state $240,000. counties $265,000,
and cities and tow’ns, $130,000. The rail
roads in arrears w ill be made to pay 7 per
cent, interest for the deferred time which
Controller Wright says will inure to the
benefit of the state anyway, as it would
receive only 2 i>er cent, interest if these
delayed payments were on deposit in the
banks.

State Entomologist Scott is on a tour of

trees burned in order to prevent the spread
of the San Jose scale to others.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Effort to Have It Meet In Savannah
Failed to Go Through.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.—The Republican State
Central Committee to-day decided to hold
the next state convention in tills city,
March 7, 1900, to choose delegates to the
National Republican Convention.
A resolution indorsing the administration
of President McKinley was adopted, as
was also one regretting the death of Vice
President Hobart.
J. H. Deveaux, Richard R. Wright and
L. M. Pleasants made an effort to have
the next Republican convention meet in
Savannah. Bill Pledger favored the
change, and the only thing that kept thf
convention from going there was ihe fear
that they could not secure a hall large
enough for the purpose.

The Governor was asked to-night if he

SUBSTITUTION OF CHII.IHtF.N.
Sensational Charge Made in Case of
an Important Legacy.
Atlanta, Dee. 29.—Attorney Charles
Hopkins, auditor in the case of Stearns
& Cos., against Mrs. C. C. Rodgers of
Lawrenceville, makes a sensational report
that the defendant substituted two chil
dren of James Rodgers for those of an
English clergyman, named Meeks, In or
der to defraud her creditors.
For an alleged indebtedness to the chil
dren, Mrs. Rodgers had executed a mort
gage On a stock of goods in Atlanta, and
a deed to the stock of goods at Lawrence
ville. The deed and mortgage were at
tached by the creditors on the ground that
they were fraudulent.
The case has been pending before Mr.
Hopkins for some time. The decision is
in favor of the creditors and they will at
once get their money unless Mrs. Rodgers
accepts to the auditor s ruling.
The first wife of James Rodgers was the
daughter of a wealthy Englishman, named
Thomas Honn. and the widow* of a clergy
man/ named Rev. W. F. Meeks. Rev.
and Mrs. Meeks had three children, two
sons and a daughter, but the daughter
died. At the death of the clergyman, an
annuity was paid to his wife, and it was
provided that in case of her marriage, it
should go to her children. Eater Mrs.
Meeks married James Rodgers, two sons,
John and James being the result of the
union. Mrs. Meeks died and Rodgers
married again, the second wife being the
defendant In the present litigation.
It was claimed that the transfer Of the
stock to the Rodgers boys was on account
of money due them on account of the
Meeks annuity, but the auditor held that
there had been a substitution of children.
WAS A VICTIM OF ALCOHOL,
Death of AV. L. Conover at the Le-
Innil Hotel in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.—W. L. Conover, a for
mer New Yorker, is another victim of al
coholic drink, and died this morning while
sitting in a chair at the Leland Hotel, on
Houston street.
Conover had been sick for* several days
and arrangements were being made this
morning to ake him to a hospital, when
he suddenly expired. He was a heavy
drinker, and this, rite attending phys clan.
Dr. Elkin, says brought on his untimely
death to-day. He had been drinking for
several days and his condition had verg-d
Inlo delirium.
He had just recovered from the effects
of a pistol wound made by accident on last
Sunday morning by a friend of his, both
of whom boarded at the Iceland. The
wound had no connection with his death,
but simply shows the strange fatality
which seemed to hover over Mr. Conover.
Rumor had it to-day that the man's
death was caused by the pistol shot, but
the doctor's statement dissipated this the
ory. The dead man left two bro;hers. one
in Schnectady. N. Y., and one in Boston.
They have been notified of his death and
wall probably send for his body, which
has been turned over to a local undertaker.
COMMISSIONERS TO PARIS.
No Salary With the Job, Bat Many
Are Applying for It.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.—Eight applications
have already been filed with Gov. Cand
ler for the two commissioners' places to
the Paris Exposition. They are: J. H.
Holland of Madison, ex-Congressman Ben
E. Russell of Bainbridge, Col. C. S. Webb
of Athens, R. M. Gann of Atlanta, E. P.
Logard of Valdosta, Howell Claud of At
lanta and Donald Harper of Rome.
The resolution passed by the general as
sembly authorizing the Governor to make
tile appointment was introduced by Hon.
J. Lindsey Johnson of Floyd, and he will
be one of the appointees, should he desire
it, but Mr. Johnson’s friends claim he
would decline the honor if tendered to
him.
“The impression seems to be abroad that
thero is a salary attached to the place,"
said the Governor this morning, "and
nearly everybody who can say 'Parlez
vous Krancais' feels called upon to offer
to represent the slate in Paris. There is
not only no salary provided, but commis
sioners will have to pay their own ex
penses."
Gov. Candler staled that he had several
applications from members of the fair sex.
but the unwritten law of the state would
lie in the way of the appointment of a
woman. ,
