VETERAN DIES AT THE HOME.
M. N. Chapman Succumbed to Paraly
sis Wednesday Afternoon.
M. N. Chapman, the aged veteran who
has been critically ill at the
Home for some weeks past, died there
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Some
time ago he bad a stroke of paralysis
which greatly disabled him, and to some
extent affected his reason. He was hard
ly able to walk when he entered the home,
but for a time afterward he improved.
Within the past month, however, he be
gan to grow weaker, and became rapidly
worse until Wednesday afternoon when he
died.
Mr. Chapman was born in South Caro
lina. He however, made his application
for admission to the home from Banks
county, Georgia, his residence in the state
having been long enough to make him
eligiole. ’
He had been living tn Banks county for
a number of years, exercising his trade of
carpenter. He had not been in good
health since the war. and his work
brought him a bare living. The stroke of
paralysis which he had aggravated his
already pitiable condition by weakening
his mind. If he has relatives they are not
known to the officers of the home.
Since his illness his fellow veterans have
made him an object of kindness and con
sideration. Each would relieve the others
in watching at the bedside. Everything
possible were done to relieve his suf
fering and to make his last days full of
peace.
The funeral services were held Fri
day at the home of the chaplain.
Rev. A. R. HoMerby. pastor of-the Me
morial Presbyterian church, this city. At
12 o'clock, accompanied by a detachment
of his comrades bearing the stars and
bars, the flag for which he fought, the
body was taken to Westview cemetery
and laid to its last resting place in the
Confederate veterans' ground.
NEW TORK. Sept. M.—According to
Captain TltuS. of the detective bureau.
J. Goldman, who was arrested Thursday
night with four other men and a boy.
on the charge of burglary is the head
and brains of an extensive gang of burg
lars that operated throughout this city.
Brooklyn and Jersey City.
Goldman was known as an extensive
commission merchant in gloves and silks.
He did not carry any stock at bls place
of business, but is said to have control
of large stocks in various parts of this
city. •
The attention of the police had been
directed to Goldman by thieves who have
been arrested and convicted of numerous
robberies and who after being sent to
prison would accuse him of connection
w..h the robberies, because they said.
Goldman had not kept his part of the
bargain. The stories of the convicted
burglars were repeated so often that
some attention was paid to them and for
several weeks past detectives were kept
at Goldman's heels constantly. According
to the police, meetings of rhe alleged rob
bers were held at which Goldman pre
sided.
Plans for robbery were made at these
gatherings and each man's work was
mapped out. When a place was selected
Goldman would go there and buy a small
bill of goods, at the same time being care
ful to find out if the place was wired
with burglar alarms. He would make hie
report at the next meeting of “the gang"
and finally preparations for robbing the
place would be made. Occasionally it
would be decided to enter a flat and for
this work, it is alleged. Goldman had six
teen expert flat workers or thieves.
The gang, according to Captain Titus,
bad made preparations for robbing two
big glove and silk houses and the plunder
they would have obtained would have been
valued in the aggregate at at least 120.000.
JOEL HURT TALKS OF FUTURE.
His Energies Will Be Directed to Prop
erties He is Identified With.
Mr. Joel Hurt, who recently disposed
of his street railway interests in Atlanta,
will in future devote his time and atten
tion to the direction of the affairs of the
Atlanta Home Insurance company, his
landed interests in the vicinity of Atlan
ta, to his mines and railroad properties
in Bartow county and other sections of
North Georgia and to fox hunting and
other forms of recreation.
- Mr. Hurt is gratified that he has dis
posed of his holdings in the-Atlanta Rail
way and Power company, since he be
lieves there is more to be accomplished
in a business way in his other enterprises
and because he feels that be cannot de
vote the time necessary to his other in
terests and also continue his connection
with the street railways of Atlanta.
The details of the sale of the Atlanta
Railway and Power company to Balti
more. New York and Boston parties are
well known. . ,
Mr. Hurt stated this morning that for
several years he had attempted to get
out of the active management of the Pow
er company and still retain his interests,
but that when he saw he could not do
this he thought the beat method would be
to dispose of his holdings.
“I resigned from the presidency of the
Power company," said Mr. Hurt this
■naming, "in 1899. I thought then I would
I
be enabled to give my time to other
businesses. A year ago. however, as a
director I was again called to undertake
active work in the management of the
Power company, and since that time I
have not been able to release it.
“It is a tendency with me. when I have
expanded a plan as far as I think it can
be reasonably done to turn my work in
another direction.
“That is the case with the Power com
pany. Lines have been built Jn all di J
rections and sections of the city and the
system, I think, has been fully developed.
Now I wish to turn to something else.
“The notoriety and contention which I
have been thrown into during the past
year has been very distasteful, and for
that reason, too, I wish to relinquish my
holdings with the company."
Mr. Hurt expressed a sincere regret
that by the change of hands of the Pow
er company his Intimate relation with
many associates and employes will be
severed „
“I think.” he continued, “that the Power
company has as faithful and efficient em
ployes as any similar company in the
country.’*
Many of the employes of the Power com
pany were with Mr. Hurt when he ran the
first electric <far tn Atlanta twelve years
ago. The first line was laid upon Edge
wood avenue and one night about 8 o'clock
Mr. Hurt personally ran the first electric
'car along the entire route that was sched
uled in Atlanta.
Since that time Mr. Hurt has been the
active man behind the construction of
the vast network of tracks on the streets
of the city and developing the magnificent
system into probably the most complete
and efficient V»at any city of the world
of the size of Atlanta can boast.
Mr. Hurt said he did not contemplate
returning to the street railway business
in the future.
Mr. Hurt when asked as to his future
course in business was Inclined to be reti
cent and when asked as to his past busi
ness successes, which are regarded as
splendid achievements in the financial
world, declined to talk.
“I do not care to go into any retro
spect," he said. “As to the future I wl|t
devote my attention to the Atlanta Home
Insurance company, to the Trust company
of Georgia, to the East Atlanta Land com
pany and the Kirkwood Land company
and to the Georgia Iron and Coal compa
ny. This company has mineral interests
in Bartow county, which I regard as
splendid manganese and iron properties,
also coal lands in Dade county, near Coal
City, and at Rising Fawn. Ga.
"These latter properties are very at
tractive and capable of development.
“Aside from all these interests, which
I think will require aif the time I have to
give to business, I wish to take more re
creation than heretofore.
“I have been very much wrapped up and
absorbed in business for many years and
I think I should for the sake of my vital
strength pay more attention to recreation
than I have in the past.”
Mr. Hurt said he felt somewhat the
strain he had been under for many years
during the development of business
affairs In Atlanta extending over a period
lof about 15 years, but that he thought in
a very short time he would regain his
strength and energy.
Mr. Hurt is now deeply interested in fox
hunting, which he regards as the ideal
sport, and the most beneficial for every
purpose for which sport can be utilized.
“I expect to spend some time in fox
hunting this winter. It is.a magnificent
sport, and I believe the one that makes a
man best fitted for business during busi
ness hours. It is exhilarating.
"I have a'pack of ten hounds now, and
they are fine fellows. I have just sent
them down to Campbell county for exer
cise.
"These hounds," continued Mr. Hurt,
"have a record which is really an inno
vation in fox hunting in Massachusetts.
“Up to a few years ago on the grounds
of the Brunswick Fur club the members
were accustomed to hunt the red foxes
with guns and Shoot them.
“Now with the very breed of hounds I
have they are running them down and
further shooting of the animals has been
discontinued by order of the elub. .
"The sport of fox hunting in Georgia is
not so good as it is in older inhabited
countries, where there is more open coun
try with only short stretches of woodland.
“However, we can have some good run
ning in Georgia, and we can follow the
hounds quite well at times.
EMMA GOLDMAN IN NEW YORK.
NEW TORK. Sept. 2k—The World says:
Emma Goldman, anarchist who was ar
rested in Chicago because she was sus
pected of complicity in the plot to mur
der President McKinley, is believed to
have arrived In this city. Word has been
passed among anarchists that she is to
address a secret meeting 6n Suffolk street.
If Miss Goldman arrived in New York
she went into hiding in the home of a
friend. It was said that she was at the
home of I. Yog, a photographer on East
Houston street. Yog declared that she
was not at his house. At the home of Miss
Goldman's grandmother it was said that
Emma was probably in the city, but had
failed to communicate with her relatives.
According to the story told at the meet
ing place of the anarchists Miss Goldman
has evaded the detectives and secret ser
vice agents. As soon as she was released
from prison tn Chicago, an invitation was
extended her to speak at several meetings
to be held in New York- One of these will
be held tonight and Miss Goldman and
Herr Most are both booked to make ad
dresses, if Most can procure $5,000 bail.
At the big meeting to be held on October
6th It is advertised that both will speak.
The Goldman woman's friends say that
when she saw that she was being shad
owed on the New York train coming from
Chicago, she quietly left the train and
the detectives, believing that she was still
on board, allowed themselves to be car
ried past the station. Having eluded her
pursuers she boarded another train.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GEORGIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1901.
COLUMBIA WINS, BUT
BACEWASVEBYCLOSE
SHAMROCK LED FROM START TO
TURN, BUT FELL BEHIND
ON HOME RUN.
t . • —'
NEW YORK. Sept. 28.—The American
cup defender, the Columbia, defeated the
Shamrock II today, over a thirty mile
course off Sandy Hook, by a lead of just
thirty-five seconds.
The Shamrock overtook the Columbia
soon after the start and the Columbia
spurted, over-hauled and passed the
Shamrock, maintaining a lead varying
from one to four lengths during the run
home.
It was anybody’s race until the stake at
the finish was reached.
Story of the Race.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Thick fog and no
wind gave a most discouraging outlook
at dawn for good racing conditions. But
thf sun had not been above the horizon
many minutes before the fog began to
melt. By 7 o'clock it had lifted entirely
while out of the northeast came a puff
of wind full of promise and by 8 o’clock
it had increased to 12 knots.
As the morning wore on the sky became
extremely overcast, some of the lower
clouds seeming to have considerable speed
and the weather-wise predicted the com
ing of enough wind to suit either the
Shamrock or Columbia.
The crews of the Shamrock and Colum
bia busied themselves with the work of
preparation.
The yachts were sent away wlthtn a
‘minute of the appointed time. Shamrock
took the honors of today’s start, the of
ficial time of the crossing being;
Shamrock, 11:00:14.
Columbia, 11:00:16.
The Shamrock occupied the weather
berth. Both boats bore down from the
weather side of the line on the port tack,
with the American boat to windward.
The Shamrock came about for the line
first. She was a trifle quicker in stays,
apparently, and got away more rapidly
than the Columbia. This gave the Sham
rock a chance to take the windward
berth from the Columbia, and the foreign
er went to leeward of the committee
boat away back to the line.
The Amer'lcan skipper thought to over
come the disadvantage under which he
had been placed and went to windward of
the mark boat. It was too late, however,
and as the yachts again came together
behind the line the Shamrock caught him
in an awkward, portion. The Yankee evi
dently saw his fix and made the best of it,
bearing for the line as the starting gun
was finished to the leeward of the Sham
rock and a little to the rear. Both crossed
the line with booms to port on the star
board tack. ' ■
At 11:18 the Columbia was distinctly
ahead. Both boats were responding to the
increasing wind, but the Columbia seemed
to be increasing her lead.
The yachts had now sailed an hour, and
it had been close work for every yard of
the course. The Columbia was close under
the Shamrock's lee and appeared to be
reaching faster than the challenger, but
the Shamrock was still ahead. The Colum
■bia tacked to port in an attempt to cross
the bow of the Shamrock, but was unable
to reach her. and 30 seconds later came
about again on the starboard tack.
Precisely at noon the Shamrock went
about on the port tack, followed immedi
ately by the Columbia.
Admittedly the Columbia had gained
considerably in the last ten minutes of
sailing. They were both close hauled and
each seemed to be holding bis own. the
advantage, if any. being With the Sham
rock. The wind held true about 10 knots.
Both yachts were sailing with difficulty,
the Columbia having worked a little to
windward, but astern of the British boat.
Captain Sycamore seemed to be working
the Shamrock slowly from under the Co
lumbia's lee.
Both yachts squared away . for home,
running before the wind, and seven min
utes aYtH- the turn both broke out their
spinnakers. .
For a brief time the boats sped home
ward apparently without a change in
their relative positions, but about 2:10 it
was seen that the Columbia was over
hauling the Shamrock. Slowly, very
slowly, she crawled up foot by foot, and
at 2:12 she had reached her flying rival.
Two minutes later and she had poked
her bowsprit ahead of the Shamrock and
established a lead.
As the yachts drew in toward the light
ship they met a large number of outward
bound foreign steamers, but all of these
large vessels conformed to the rules and
sheered away.
'The Columbia gained steadily in spite
of every effort of the Shamrock to regain
her lost advantage. Both skippers tried
every known means to secure the advan
tage. and at times changed the station of
the crews to different parts of the boat.
But try as he would the British skipper
could not overtake his flying rival, and
little by little the Columbia reached out
until at 2:31 she had a full three lengths
of clear water between her stem and the
bow of her pursuer. The crews were
rapidly reaching the finish and some of
the excursion fleet began to speed up for
the lightship in order to get a good place
to witness the conclusion.
On the other hand they seemed con
tent to keep mainsails and club topsails
drawing to their fullest extent, with the
balloon jibs helping now.
With these conditions the Columbia still
gained and very slowly increased her
lead. The wind was blowing about 8
knots, and neither yacht had any other
sails they could set with any hope of be
ing of service.
When four .miles from the finish the ex
cursion fleet began to steam up and head
in toward the apex of the triangle. The
fleet around the lightship constantly grew
until at 3 o’clock there were 75 or 80 steam
vessels and as many more sailing craft
clustered about the ship.
None of the vessels had any difficulty in
keeping up with the racers, so slowly
did they sail dead before the wind.
The smoke, however, chased along ahead
of the steamers and it looked like a mill
city for half an hour after the yachts
neared the finish line.
The Columbia won by 35 seconds.
BANDITS HOLD MISS STONE.
Must be Ransomed or She Will Be
Made to Marry a Bandit.
PARIS, Sept. 28.—A Paris newspaper
correspondent sends word to The Figaro,
on the staff of which he is employed, that
he has just returned from a visit to Miss
Ellen M. Stone, of the American board of
foreign missions, who is held by brigands
in a mountainous region of Turkey.
The correspondent wires that he suc
ceeded in locating Miss Stone in an almost
Inaccessible mountain defile. The chief of
the outlaws permitted the correspondent
to see Miss Stone and talk with her. Miss
Stone told her visitor that she had been
treated with exceeding courtesy ever eince
her capture.
Two brigands were detailed to act as
her personal servants, providing her with
good food and showing her every atten
tion. The brigands had instructions to
obey her merest whim, and to show with
what degree of consideration she was
treated she told the newspaper man that
having exhausted all of the films for her
kodak she had said that she wished she
had more. The desire was repeated to the
chief of the brigands, who at once posted
a courier off to Constantinople to secure
a supply for her. This meant a week of
steady traveling by mule over dangerous
and rocky mountain paths.
The leader of the brigands told the cor
respondent that unless a ransom of $150,-,
000 was forthcoming within 30 days Miss
Stone would either be put to death or
compelled to marry one of the bandits. It
is believed that ( the bandit will keep bis
word.
The situation recalls the capture by
these same brigands in the dame region,
six years ago. of Mme. Gerard de Trtnc
ville, a beautiful French heiress, who is
now a Carmelite nun. Through the dis
honesty of a Turkish official by whom
the ransom was negotiated the money
failed to reach the bandits. The lovely
French girl was therefore forced to be
come the wife ot a member of the outlaw
gang. She was rescued seven months
later in a battle in which her father killed
her bandit husband.
BOARD WILL REFUSE
DEMAND OF BANDITS.
BERLIN, Sept. 28.—the American
board, of commissioners of foreign mis
sions will resist the demand of SIIO,OOO
ransom for the release of Miss Helen M.
Stone, of Chelsea, Mass., the American
missionary now held by Bulgarian
brigands.
When shown a statement by Dr. Cre
gan, of New York, secretary of the
American board, that the acquiescence
would be a dangerous precedent, the Rev.
Dr. Judson Smith, expressed his hearty
approbation. “The board will never con
sider such a proposition," he said.
"The rescue of Miss Stone is in the
hands of the government. We have had
missionaries in Turkey for two genera
tions, but never a ease like this. Should
we offer a ransom missionaries would
never be Safe from capture.”
TEN NEGROES ARE ARRESTED.
Cotton Thieves Are Captured in Hunte
vllle and Lodged In Jail.
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Sept. 28,-Hunts
vllie has a new sensation in the way of a
wholesale cotton stealing crime, in which
about ten negroes and a number of well
known white men are implicated.
Two of the negroes, Ollie and Tom
Toney, brothers, have been arrested and
occupy cells at the- county jail, where
they made a partial confession to the
officers last night, and implicated at least
a half dozen more.
Yesterday the Toney negroes went to
the West Huntsville Cotton mill and
tried to sell two bales of old cotton to
Hon. JT. W. Pratt for new cotton. Mr.
Pratt was aware that several bales of
his cotton had been stolen from the ware
house, and being a quick Judge of cotton,
he suspicioned that these old bales might
belong to him, which theory proved cor
rect after an investigation. Mr. Pratt had
all of his cotton checked up and found
that the two bales corresponded with two
of the missing.
Ollie Toney had been an employe of Mr.
Pratt for a long time, and he knew how
and when to aid his brother and other
country friends in stealing the cotton.
Several bales of the staple were hauled
to Triana, Ala., and in a few days they
would be brought, back to Huntsville and
put on the market.
Constable Phillips .and the police arrest
ed the Toney negroes, and from the infor
mation they secured from them expect to
arrest eight or ten more negroes and one
or.two white men of this city, who have
shielded the negroes in their theft, it is
said. .', i

COFFEE FOR MOTHERS.
The Kind That Nourishes and Supplies
Food For Mother and Child.
“My husband has been unable to drink
coffee for several years, so we were very
glad to give Postum Food Coffee a trial
and when we understood that by long
boiling it would bring out the delicious
flavor, we have been highly pleased with
it. It is one of the finest things for nursing
mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps
up the mother’s strength and increases
the supply of nourishment for the child if
partaken of freely. I drank it between
meals instead of water and found it most
beneficial.
“Our five-year-old boy has been very del
icate since birth and has developed slow
ly. He was white and bloodless. I began to
give him Postum freely and you would be
surprised at the change. When any person
remarks about the great improvement,
we never fall to tell them that we attrib
ute his gaii\ in strength and general
health to the free use of Postum Food
Coffee, and this has led many friends to
use it for themselves and children.
“I have always cautioned friends to
whom I have spoken about Postum, to fol
low directions in making It, for unless It
is boiled 15 or 20 minutes, it Is quite taste
less. On the other hand, when properly
made, it Is very delicious. I want to thank
you for the benefits we have derived from
the use of your Postum Coffee.”—Mrs. W.

MUCH INTEREST IN
LOCAL SCHOOL TAX
COMMISSIONER GLENN RECEIVES
ENCOURAGEMENT IN LOCAL
SCHOOL TAX MOVEMENT.
State School Commissioner Glenn's
movement for local taxatioh for school
purposes, which he has so strongly rec
ommended in his annual report to the
general assembly, is receiving an Impetus
from all parts of the state, and it is like
ly that the act providing for the right of
communities and counties to incorporate
for the purposes of taxation for schools
only will be one of the first to pass the
house and the senate and become a law.
The bill will likely first come up in the
senate. Senator Johnson, of the Fifth dis
trict, will present the bill.
Commissioner Glenn, since the agitation
of the question commenced, has received
much encouragement in the movement,
and he believes that it will meet with suc
cess in the next general assembly.
“The movement is a popular one,” said
Commissioner Glenn this morning. “Aside
from the assurances I have been given in
my various trips over the state, I have re
ceived communications commending the
movement and wishing every success
for it.
“Many members of the general assembly
have assured me of the good that may be
done by the enactment of such a law
and I feel that I will have the cordial
co-operation of both branches of the leg
islature." w »
In Commissioner Glenn’s annual report
he has embodied a message to the mem
bers of the general assembly and to the
people of Georgia at large in which he
makes a strong appeal for the movement
and gives as reasons why such a law
should be enacted that small
communities have not now the oppor
tunities for the education of children be
cause they nave not means by which to
secure sufficient schools.
The plea for the law is a very strong
ohe, and it is thought by those favoring
the movement that it will have great ef
fect before the general assembly.
In speaking of.the recent opening of the
schools this yeas Commissioner Glenn said
this morning that there was a large ln r
crease in the number of pupils attending
the schools compared to the number last
year. - .
“This is especially true,” he said, “with
the local systems. There are many more
pupils in the schools this year than last
and the prospects are good for a splendid
attendance during the entire year upon
all the schools.”
Commissioner Glenn Is much encour
aged with the outlook this year and says
that he believes it will be a very prosper
ous one for all the schools.

and a part of the way over the new
viaduct, was the experience of Pllnny
Minor, a loan agent of 791-2 Decatur

MORGA¥PAYFSTTO,OOb
. FOR HOBBEMA PAINTING.
LONDON,, Sept. 28.—Charles Wertheim
er, a noted art dealer, has just purchased
for J, Pierpont Morgan, it is believed, a
famous landscape by Hobbema, of a for
eign collection of Dutch pictures at Do
chester house. Park Lane, the property
of Captain Holford.
The price paid by Wertheimer was SIOO,-
000. The previous record price for a paint

collection.
Captain Holford was only tempted to
sell by the large price offered.
HEAVY LIQUIDATION
IN NEW YORK STOCKS.
NEW YORK. Sept. 28.-Heavy liquida
tion has been effected in the stock market
during the week and some violent de
clines caused. The collapse in Amalgama
ted Copper has caused realizing else
where especially by speculative pools
which had counted upon continued sup
port of the market. The abandonment
of support by the financial powers seems
to be due to a decision to postpone some
important financial projects for which a
firm stock market was desirable and to
an unwillingness or inabiUty to require
gold from abroad to offset the interior
demand. The liquidation in the stock
market has sensibly relieved the market
and strengthened the banking situation.
OMAHA~is STORM SWEPT.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 27.—The heaviest
storm of rain and hail which haa visited
this city for years struck Omaha early
today. Twenty-five telephone and electric
light poles were blown down and street
cars were blocked in several parts of the

electric light man were badly shocked by
coming in ‘ contact with live wires, but
none were seriously injured. '
Two horses were killed from the same
cause.
Down town streets were like small riv
ers and wooden sidewalks were washed
into the streets in a dozen places. The
hail broke several skylights and stripped
trees of their foliage. There was an al
most continual flash bf lightning, which
prostrated, electric systems during the
storm.
In Council Bluffs the Nortwestern yards
were under two feet of water at one time,
and down town cellars were flooded. *

WANTS AN ANNEX
TO STATE CAPITOL
♦
ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL
BYRD WANTS NEW BUILDING
ON HUNTER STREET. v -
In Adjutant General Robertson’s raport
this year to Governor Candler there will
likely be a recommendation that an an
nex be built to the state capitol.
Assistant Adjutant General Byrd, who is
the active custodian of the state public
buildings, has suggested to Adjutant Gen
eral Robertson that since the state is now
crowded for space in the present build
ing an annex should be constructed on
the lot opposite the end of the cap
itol building, just in rear of the Episcopal
Cathedral, and fronting on Hunter street.
In this building Colonel Byrd proposes
to locate the supreme court, the etate li
brary, the department of geology and the
state museum.
A building similar in architecture but
smaller in size than the present capitol
he suggests, with three stories and no
dome.
“At the present time,” said Colonel
.Byrd this morning." the capitol is crowd
ed. Several departments of the state wre
without sufficient office space and are
badly crowded. Some of the capitol offi
cials have been forced to have their of
fices on the third floor of the building,
which is a very inconvenient place for
official work and besides this have en
croached upon the committee rooms of
the house and senate.
“There is no room in the basement for
the storage of the state’s property. The
state museum has no place where this
splendid exhibit can be shown to advant
age. and she state geologist's office is bad
ly crowded as are some of the other of
fices.
“I do not know what a building to fit
the needs would cost, but a reasonable
sum it seems to me would be necessary."
Governor Candier when asked what he
thought of the plan this morning, said it
was the first he had heard of it, and if it
should be taken seriously under consid
eration he does not see where the money
is coming from to do the work since there
PRIMARY IN MISSISSIPPI.
JACKSON. Miss., Sept. 27.—That there
must be an election in the state of Missis
sippi on the sth of November to fill two
state offices, instead bf one. may have
considerable Influence with the state ex
ecutive committee in inducing it to recon
sider its former determination not to have
a primary.
Several days ago Chairman Miller, of
the state executive committee, announced
that a primary would not *be held, but
since the death of Col. J. L. Power, sec
retary of state, making two office* to be
filled on that date, and the announcement
of a number of candidates for the honors
of state treasurer and state secretary,
the committee will, in all probability,
call a primary.
The fact that the candidates under the
statute are required to get in each county
a petition signed by fifty qualified vot
ers before they can have their names put
on the ticket, may be another circum
stance that will influence the committee
to call a primary before the sth of No
vember.
JOHN O’CONNOR LANDS HERE.
BOSTON. Sept. 27.—John O’Connor, who
fought in South Africa for the Boer cause,
and after capture eseaped from a British
military camp and came here as a stow
away, has been allowed to land by the
immigration authorities, who held him a
prisoner on Ellis island for ten day*. He
was born in Philadelphia in 1869.
Some years ago he went to South Afri
ca as a gold miner, and became a natural
ized citizen of the Transvaal republic. Af
ter his escape he made his way to Eng
land, and at Southampton stowed himself
on the steamer Haverford. He was dis
covered on the way over and turned over
to the immigration authorities, who re
leased him at the instance of the Irish
Emigrant society.
"I went from Chicago to South Africa."
said he in an Interview, "and liking the
people, I became a naturalized citizen of
the Transvaal. The Boers are Christians
and always treat the traveller kindly.
While being transported to Cape Town I
saw at Elandsfontein Boer women and
children under British soldiers transport
ed in open cars in a rain storm.
“Before the war I was discharged from
two gold mines oterned by pro-Bri ushers,
because I refused to sign petitions to
Queen Victoria."
BRUZUAL IN PRISON.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—A Herald dis
patch from Wlllemstadt, island of Cura
coa, says:
“Senor Bruzual, chief counsel for the
New York and Bermudez interests in the
islands against the Warner-Quinlan syn
dicate for the control of Fellcidad asphalt
lake, has been sent to prison in Caracas,
Venezuela, for political reasons.
"Physicians advised that Senor Bruzual
be removed from prison to a hospital un
der bond. This was done.
“Senor Bruzual has now been sent back
to prison and no reasons are given for the
action. He disclaims any political connec

IBIG DIVIDEND FROM
AGRICULTURAL DEPT,.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
HAS PAID FOR PRESENT YEAR
$47,457.19 NET.
A larger amount has been cleared by the
state department of agriculture thia year
on the Inspection of fertilisers and oils
than ever before.
The department has turned into the
state treasury during the fiscal year
which will end September 30 $35,547.19 net
received from the inspection <of fertilizers
and approximately $12,000 received from
the inspection of oils.
These amounts exceed the net amounts
turned into the state from the same
sources on any previous year by about
SIO,OOO.
This showing is regarded as remark
able. The total makes the department of
agriculture self-sustaining by more than
$40,000. No department of the state gov- |
eminent can make as good a showing of
its financial condition as this, and the
iarse increase in the amount this year has
been a surprise to Commissioner Stevens
and the other officials of the department.
In recent years the department has
grown to be one of the most Important
of the state government, and has done
much through its fertilizer and aU, de
partments toward protecting the farmery
and others using these products from be
ing imposed upon by dealers of spurious
goods.
The large amount of tags sold this year
shows a large increase of fertilizer used.
In speaking of the matter this morning
Commissioner O. B. Stevens said that he
thought the $37,000 which the department
turns into the treasury over and above
all expenses of the department should be
appropriated by the state for the estab
lishment in different sections of Georgia
of experiment stations similar to the one
at Griffin.
"I think." said Mr. Stevens, “that tMs
amount should be used for the establish
ment of experiment stations in the south
ern, northern and eastern portions of the
state, allowing the experiment station at
Griffin to remain for the middle and west
ern sections of the etate.
“I believe the state owes this much to
the farmers. These stations would be of
great benefit to them. •
“If the state would appropriate this fund
for that purpose I think it would be suf
ficient to bear the expenses of these sta
tions without any additional appropria
tion from the general assembly.
ARRESfED’OVER FIVE CENTS.
Negro Boy After Serving Thirty Days
lH Stockade May Go to Chaingang.
The case of Fred Banks, charged with
assault and battery, which has been post
poned for several days, came up for pre
liminary hearing yesterday before Justice
Lanurum.
The assault for which Banks was on
trial was committed on August 15th on
Will Berry, another negro boy. There were
but the two principals in the case from
whom to secure evidence.
Berry stated that Banks met him on
the street on the night in question and
asked him for a nickel he owed him. On
his denial of the debt Hanks threw a half
l)rick from across the street, striking him
(Berry) on the cheek. He said that Banks
then started after him with a knife, and
he ran home.
Banks stated that tne debt of 5 cents
was an actual fact, and no vagary of his
imagination, and that Berry struck him
first. - - • ’»•-£-«' i ■ !?• ’.p'
Banks was arrested by Officer Rowan
and has served $0 days in the stdekade,
being sent up from the recorder's court.
On the expiration of his term a bench
warrant was issued by Judge Calhoun, of
the city criminal court, for his detention,
but by a departure of the regular course
in such instance*, an order of the court
granted a preliminary hearing.
Judge Landrum stated that with the ’
conflicting testimony it was but justice
that the case should be tried by jury. He
bound Banks over with a bond for SIOO.
In default of which he was returned to the
Tower.

cials, says The Chronicle, have learned
that $400,000 said to be a part of the money
embezzled by Oberlin M. Carter, now

PARLIAMENT WILL NOT
HOLD EXTRA SESSION.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Discqssing the
South African situation The London cor
respondent of The Times says:
Inree ministers attended the king's
council yesterday (Thursday), but it was
a formal function and offered no justi
fication for the rumors that there would
be an autuipnal session of parliament for
replenishing the war chest. Mr. Cham
berlain remained for some time with the
king after the council, and without doubt
was closely questioned respecting the sit
uation in South Africa. Campaign expens
es have been provided for until the end of
January and there is nothing to indicate
any intention on the part of the nrilitary
authorities to dispatch re-enforcements
on a large scale.
