SUITE FILED lEIIIST PNK STATE WANTS TO USE PUBLIC ‘PROPERTY FUND, THIS TIME AS INTER- • EST. Mandamus proceedings were filed Mon day by Attorney General Terrell tn the name of Allen D. Candler as governor against R. E. Park, as treasurer, to com pel the treasurer to apply $35.000 of the public property fund of SH4.WO to the pay ment of the interest on the public debt, which falls due during the year 1902 and which will amount to 8325.U00. The suit is altogether a friendly one. Treasurer Park said this morning that he was anxious to use the money, but as the court had held several months ago that the public property fund could be used for no other purpose than the payment of . the public debt be felt that he was obliged to make the contest. Besides, the legislature had directed that the con test be made. The state is tn pretty bad condition financially and unless the mon ey can be used there will be a big deficit In the treasury. The idea is to use some of the public property fund to pay the Interest on the public debt and to use the money which has been raised for taxation for the payment of the interest to pay the appropriations and other general ex penses. Treasurer Park, ft is said, will be al- • lowed 1900 by Governor Candler from the contingent fund for the purpose of pay ing his lawyers, as it is the state’s suit. In the last mandamus suit Treasurer Park's attorneys served without pay. The main argument to be used by the state in the suit will be that the Interest on the public debt is a part of the public debt and that the use of the public prop erty fund for the payment of the interest is not in violation of the provisions of the . constitution. HOWELL RESOLUTION HAS BEEN SUSTAINED Judge John S. Candler, of the Stone Mountain circuit. decided Tuesday that the Howell resolution, appropriating $325,350 of the public property fund for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt of the state, was entirely constitu tional, and granted the mandamus abso lute asked for by Governor Candler, which mandamus orders State Treasurer Robert E. Park to transfer the sum men tioned from the public property fund to the Interest fund. The bearing of the case occurred in the office of Attorney General TerrelL Only the judge and the attorneys for both sides were present. Only about 30 minutes were occupied in the hearing of the case. Both sides agreed on a statement of facts and the attorneys outlined briefly their contentions. Former Chief Justice Logan E. Bleckley and Orville A. Park repre sented Treasurer Park and Attorney Gen eral Terrell represented Governor Candler. The case will be appealed to the supreme court at once, as it is the desire of both sides to have the highest tribunal in the state to pass on the question. PRESIDENT MORGAN IS HELD ON MANY COUNTS BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Dec. It-Charges continue to be lodged against George W. Morgan, president of the defunct Con tinental Security Redemption company. Eleven charges are now held against him, • the bond being SI,OOO in each case. He has not yet made bond and is confined in the Jefferson county Jail.

The charges against him are embesxlement. false pretense and keeping false records and accounts.

AMERICA TO ENGLAND DOTS AND DASHES DO SIGNALS READ BETWEEN NEW- FOUNDLAND AND CORNWALL, 1300 MILES APART. NCW YORK. Dec. 17.—M. I. Pupln. pro fessor of electrical mechanics at Columbia university, in an Interview, says he fully believes Marconi succeeded in signalling between the coasts of New Foundland and Cornwall. England, by his system of wire less telegraphy. Continuing the profes sor said: ■'The signals were very faint, as I read the report, but that has little to do with it. The distance, which is about 1.800 miles between these two points, was over come. and further development of the sending instruments is all that is re quired.” Professor Paupln said that members of the Society of Electrical Engineers had discussed the subject two years ago. and many were at that time of the opinion that the day was not far distant when wireless messages would be seat one thou sand miles or more. Again continuing he said: "One point which is of great value and Interest to the scientific wolrd is that Mar coni has proved conclusively that the cur vature of the earth is no obstacle to the svstem of wireless telegraphy. Some were inclined to think, and there were many heated discussions upon it, that the cur vature limited the system. All Marconi's efforts of late have been directed toward perfecting and making his sending appa ratus more powerful and giving a great er height to the sending end. It still re mains to be proved, however, that heavy banks of fog. low hanging clouds and heavy showers along and in the path of the transmitted electric wave will not en tirely obstruct its progress. The pre sumption generally Is that they will, as experiments, thus far have proved. At mospheric conditions also have much to do with and strongly affect the electric wave.’* CAIBTOIII A. s ein tbs KM You Haw Always Boyg Sigastars FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK BY AN OVERLAND ROUTE PARIS, Dec. 16.—Harry DeWindt, the explorer, who is to attempt an overland trip from Paris to New York, has com pleted the preparations for his expedition and will start for Siberia.

Dec. 16.—The Cunarder Etruria, which has just arrived here, was in communication for more than five hours in middle ocean with her sister ship, the Umbria. Long before either ship sighted the oth er their commanders were conversing by the Marconi wireless system.- The position of each ship was known on the other hours before their main trucks showed above the horizon. The Etruria left Liverpool on December 7, the same day the Umbria steamed out of New York. They were 1.630 miles east north east of Sandy Hook when they passed each other last Wednesday, or in latitude 45.17 and longitude 51.07. Five hours before that, or when they were fully 100 miles apart, the receiver on the Etruria began to click warningly. The operator replied and then the word "Umbria” was slowly spelled out on the Etruria’s instrument. Then followed the Umbria's location. The Etruria replied, giving her loca tion. which showed her to be fully 100 miles away from >he other vessel. The Umbria sent her number of passen gers. the fact .that all was well and the latest news from New York. The Etruria sent word of the burning of the great Liverpool exchange quadrangle, which occurred December 7, while the Etruria was lying in the Mersey.

GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19. 1901. H. A, JENKINS PASSES AWAY HE WAS EX-SPEAKER OF GEORGIA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WAS ILL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. EATONTON, Ga„ Dec. 17.—Hon. H. A. Jenkins, ex-speaker of the Georgia house, died at 1 o'clock today. after several weeks' Illness. He had improved in the last week and his death was unexpected. Hon. H. A. Jenkins was one of the state's leading men. He was speaker of the house to the election of Hon. John D. Little, and served with distinction. Before Mr. Jenkins* election as speaker he served with signal ability in the legis lature one term as chairman of the gen eral judiciary committee. At Mr. Jenkins’ home he was greatly beloved. Shortly after his term as speaker expired Mr. Jenkins was a prominent can didate for governor, but later decided not to make the race. Mr. Jenkins was a man of pleasing but striking personality. His rotund face and figure were accentuated by a large, broad-brimmed felt hat which he always wore. He was not only an able man, but a pleasant companion and numbered his friends by the score. FEzuimoo COMBINE WITH DEATH MEN, FREEZING TO DEATH, BAT TLE FOR LIFE AGAINST WAVES MOUNTAIN HIGH. • ■ ■ PITTSBURG, Dec. 16.—The crest of the flood and me lowest point reached this winter by the mercury were both regis tered at the same time, 8 o’clock a. m., when the Smithfield street bridge marks showed 25 feet 8 inches of water in the Monongahela river end the government thermometer indicated 5 degrees above, zero. The rivers are now falling here and at the headwaters and the temperature is steadily rising. A flood and cold wave at the same time is almost unprecedented and only a sudden drop In the temperature averted one of me greatest floods in the history of Pittsburg. As it was the lower parts of the Point Distant and Duquesne and lowlands along the Monongahela river south side were submerged. In Allegheny, the river front was en tirely under water, including Pittsburg and Western railroad, Lacrock, Robinson, Hope, Balkan, Walnut, Cherry, Madison and River avenues. The cellars in many Jiovees were flooded and people were compelled to move. For the river men and dwellers along the river banks of Pittsburg and Allegheny it was the most fearful eight l experienced in many years. Similar conciticns have been practically unknown to this generation. Hundreds of men toiled all night with the gigantic coal tows, tied up to the* landings on both sides df all three rivers, in the face of a bitter cold wind. Drenched at times with the splashes of foam, their clothes frozen on them imme diately, their suffering was awful. Note premium list In this Issue, make your selection and subscribe at once. NO CHANGE HAS COME IN WYOMING VALLEY WILKESBARRE, Pa.. Dec. 17.—There Is no change in the flood situation in the Wyoming valley. The Susquehanna riv er has only receded eight Inches from highest point reached Sunday night. The suburb of Westmore and Firwood con tinued to be surrounded by water and the residents are leaving their homes as fast as boats can carry them away. Railroad traffic Is still at a standstill. One hun dred passengers westbound have been in the cars at a point on the Lehigh Val ley railroad between Stony Point and White Haven, a few miles east of here, since 2 o'clock Sunday morning.

SOUTH DAKOTA SUIT MAY CAUSE OTHERS AMOUNT OF REPUDIATED BONDS WILL REACH ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. - CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Dec. 16.—The suit brought by South Dakota against the state of North Carolina in the United States supreme court to force the pay ment of certain bonds issued in aid of t'he Western North Carolina railroad is at tracting considerable attention. These bonds were compromised at 25 cents on the dollar. * Governor Aycock has employed Hon. James E. Shepherd, former chief justice of the supreme court of this state; ex- Superior Court Judge James H. Merrl mon, and Mr. George Rountree to repre sent the state in the defence of this suit. After citing a number of precedents. J. C. L. Harris, of Raleigh, in writing of the case in today's Observer says: "It would seem, therefore, that the ju risdiction of the supreme court in the suit of South Dakota against the state of North Carolina cannot be successfully attacked. If this position Is well taken, then, and In that event, this suit will be come at once of great national import ance. "The states besides South Dakota have passed acts authorizing the prosecution of su-ts similar,to that brought by South Dakota against the state of North Car olina. The states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, perhaps other states, have bonds outstanding, to the amount of one hundred millions of dollars—principal and interest—which are legal and just, but which have been repudiated and which the states, for one reason and another, refuse to pay either principal or Interest. The amount of the 'special tax fund’ of the state of North Carolina which is now outstanding is ten millions of dol lars, with Interest at 6 per cent for thirty two years, which would make the debt of this state alone at Uhls time thirty millions of dollars, principal and inter est. The principal and interest of the debts of the other states will probably raise the total to one hundred millions of dollars. These bonds are now being col lected by a trust company of the city of New York, and the South Dakota suit against the state of North Carolina Is doubtless the first step in the effort to compel the payment of the various repu diated bonds of the states hereinbefore mentioned. If the South Dakota suit is upheld, tnen donations of bonds will be made to the state and the other states which have passed acts authorizing suits to be prosecuted where bonds have been acquired by donation, purchase or other wise. and the state is the real party in interest, anu other suits will be brought in the supreme court of the states which own the bonds and against the states is suing the bonds.” STOPS THE COUCH AND WORKS OFF THE COLD.

Ala., Dec. 16.—1 n a test case just decided by Judge Samuel E. Greene, of the criminal court, It is held that the practice of osteopathy is the practice of medicine. The point arose In the case of Dr. E. E. Bragg, a well known osteopath of this city, who was arrested at the instance of the board of health on the charts of practicing medi cine without, a license, he not having passed the examination required by the state board. Under the decision the prac tice of osteopathy is not prohibited, but the practice of any healing art is pro hibited without the usual examination is first passed and a certificate obtained. Much interest Is felt In the case. ROBERTSONCHARGEO WITH EMBEZZLEMENT IS RELEASED ON BOND IN CHAT- TANOOGA TODAY—IS OF HIGH STANDING.

Ga., Dec. 17.—Both Candler hall and Den mark hall have been completed and turn ed over to the University of Georgia and will be ready for occupancy on the re opening of college after the holiday s, on January 3, 1902. The cry given so long by this university for more dormitories and mess halls was at last heard by the Georgia legislature during the session of 1000 and answered very generously by appropriating $35,000 to make possible these handsome buildings. This has long been the need of this great institution—dormitories and mess halls on the large campus to centralize the stu dents—and great things are predicted for university life at old Georgia, since so many students are unable to live within her spacious grounds in sight of her classic walls. MAN ISMANGLED~ BY CAR WHEELS MACON, Dec. 16.—A white man about 40 years old and supposed to be Jim Foley, a plumber, was found literally torn to pieces yesterday morning soon after the 4 o’clock train went toward Atlanta from Macon. The theories suggested are that the man either lay down on the track with suicidal Intent or else overtaken and crushed while he was trying to cross the trestle, or he might have been riding on the rods of the passenger train and lost his hold. Father and Child Mangled by Train. LOGANSPORT. Ind., Dec. 17.—At the Vandalia crossing yesterday Frank Hardy and his daughter were caught in a buggy and killed.

WILL RESIGN JANUARY IB ATTORNEY GENERAL TERRELL TO RETIRE WHEN PENDING BUSINESS IS DISPOSED OF BY HIM. Attorney General J. M. Terrell will prob ably resign his office on January 10th and at the same time make his formal an nouncement as a candidate for governor. This announcement was made Monday morning by one of Mr. Terrell’s friends, and is regarded as authoritative. Mr. Ter rell still declines to talk. Mr. Terrell would probabfy resign earlier than Janu ary 10th if it were not for the case ot the Georgia Railroad vs. Comptroller Gen eral Wright, which case will come up In the United States court about January Bth. He will represent the state in the man damus suit wwnich Is to be filed tomor row against State Treasurer Park, re garding the public property fund, and when he comp.etes that he will turn his attention to the Georgia railroad suit. An effort is being made to have that case heard on January 2 and if this can be done, Mr. Terrell’s res ignation will probably come sooner than is now intenue— It is understood that his political head quarters will be in the Kimball house, and that as soon as he resigns he will begin work on his campaign. The fact that he will resign in such a short time will no doubt be a surprise to the public as it was stated some time ago that he would not tender his resignation until after the meeting of the state Democratic executive committee. This committee will meet some time in March to make the neces sary arrangements for the primary. It is said that Mr. Terrell will make a num ber of speeches during the campaign, and it is probable that he will go Into nearly every county »n the state. With the announcement that his resig nation is so soon to occur comes the question of his successor. Governor Can dler, who has the appointing power, has not and will not intimate who he Is going to appoint. In fact, the governor says there have been no resignations just yet and the matter is not now before him. The names of Judge N. L. Hutchins, of Lawrenceville, and Hon. Ed T. Brown, special attorney of the Western and At lantic railway, hfive been frequently mentioned as probable successors to Mr. Terrell. George M. Napier, of Monroe, has also been suggested as a possible man. All three are strong men, and should they offer for the place which is to be made vacant by Mr. Terrell, Gov ernor Candler will have a hard time in making his selection. There are already three candidates in the race for the position. These candi dates will have to be nominated at the coming primary, and the election will oc cur next fall. Judge ’John C. Hart, of Union Point, Is an avowed candidate and has been for some time. Former Sena tor R. T. Fouche, of Rome, is said to be In the race, as is Representative W. M. Toomer, of Ware county.

TURKEY AND BULGARIA TO PUT DOWN BRIGANDAGE NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Advices which have been received here in an official quarter from Vienna indicate that the Austro-Hungarian government is making strong representation to both Turkey and Bulgaria, with the object of Inducing those countries to take suitable and ef fective steps to put down the state of out lawry and brigandage on their borders, says the Tribune’s London correspondent. It Is believed this action of the Austro- Hungarian government Is the result of frequent conferences which the American minister In Vienna has recently had with Count Golouchowsky In reference to the case of Miss Stone.
