GEORGIA AT CHICAGO.
Legislators Gaze Upon the Architectu¬
ral Panorama of the World’s Fair.
A special of Frid iy irem Chicago saysr
The Georgia legislature saw the world’s
fair in a snow storm. They would not
have been deterred by a blizzard. There
has never been anything on the earth to
approach this exposition even in its pres¬
ent stage, and it is not probable that it
will be repeated for a century to come.
The magnificent architectural panoramas
spread out on the shore of Luke Michi¬
gan were such that only the most exalted
imagination alone could conceive, but
find no parallel for.
The party reached the Windy City in
time for breakfast at the Auritorium. At
11 o’clock the Georgims went out on
private train to the fair grounds. Judge
Bryan, a special commissioner of the ex¬
position, accompanied them, Busses
met them at the gates and they wi re
driven everywhere in the grounds.. Sev¬
eral buildings were entered and viewed
from end to end.
GRAND BEYOND IMAGINATION.
The scope of the exposition is grand
beyond imagination. That septem of
wonders so boasted of by the ancient
world would be airnost commonplace
even in a combination beside the vast
modern marvel. There is one building in
which a dozen structures like Georgia’s
state capitol could he stored °
awav.
The cost of the fair buildings when
finished will be eight millions, and they
are all nearing completion with the ex-
cept on of a few state and foreign struct¬
ures. Fifty nations and thirty-seven
colonies will be represented and every
one of these fifty *foieign nationalities
has its own home. Thirty-one states
and two territor.es have their individual
buildings.
But Georgia’s name nowhere appears.
Her noble motto, “Wisdom, justice, mod¬
eration,” nowhere greets the eye and
thrills the patriotic hearts of her repre¬
sentatives. They would have been deeply
mortified had it not been for the convic¬
tion that the state will avail itself of the
rare opportunity.
During the drive around the grounds a
snow storm came in from the lake, but
the southerners muffled up well and took
it gleefully. All were deeply impressed
oy what they sa v, and every member of
the party realizes that Georgia will be
making a mistake if she does not seud
an exhibit here. r Ihe only questiou is
the method of procee ling.
Returning from the grounds, Governor
Not then, Speaker Atkiuson, Colonel Bill
Smith, of Gwinnett, Camp, of Douglas,
Colonel Wrean, Judge Bryan and others
made brief speeches iu the special car.
Governor Northen strongly urged the
legislature to do ullrin their power to
get an appropriation for a stat > exhibit.
Colonel Atlunsou su'd that Georgia
ought to have a fitting display of her
resources here.

UNLUCKY BANK ROBBERS.
They Made a Big Haul hut Were
Quickly Captured.
A most daring bank firobbery occurred
Tuesday aftuuoou in Allentown, N. J.
Two young men entered the Farmers’
National bank aud, with drawn revol¬
vers, demanded all the ca-h on hand.
Cashier Hutchison and an assistant
were the only employes present, The
weapon was held at the he^d of each
and one of the robbers backed up this
forcible demand with the words:
“We’ll blow your heads off if you don’t
turn nil your stuff over at once.” Cash¬
ier Hutchison quickly complied with
this request and handed over about
$2,000 which lay on the counter before
him. Then one of the robbers compelled
ihe cashier and clerk to go to the wall
and turn their heads while the other rub¬
ber walked out of the door and into the
street, Ilis accomplice quickly followed.
In a moment the ca-hier and clerk ru.-hed
out into the street af er the robbers. The
cashier had grabbed a pistol in the bank
and immediately, on gaining the street,
began firing at the fleeing thieves.
The robbers returned the fire and the
exchange Hutchinson of shots and the cries of
and his clerk soon aroused
the village at d almost immediately a
score of persons were in pursuit. About
two squares from the bank the robbers
were captured. Threats of lynching
were made. They gave their names as
J. B. Morris and Frederick Smith, and
were at once removed to Freehold jail.
The money given to them by Cashier
Hutchinson was recovered.

PINKERTON INVESTIGATION
The Senate Committee Gels Down to
Wort
Testimony of Robert A. Pinkerton, the
Chief of the Army.
The committee of the Uuited States
senate appointed to investigate the work¬
ings of the Pinkerton detective agency,
with special reference to the IIom<stead
troubles, met in New York city Saturday
morning. Robert A. Pinkerton and Cap¬
tain Hind were on hand to give testi¬
mony. Mr. Pinkerton was called first.
He said they sent 30G men to Hometead
last July, and all those sent from New
York were American citizens and of
good character, and be thought those
sent from Chicago were also. He had
insisted, the witness sud, that his men
should be sworn in rs deputy sher¬
iffs and that agreement was made.
Counsel advised him that they had the
right to have their men sworn in ns peace
officers, whether they were citizens of
the state or not. Pinkerton said that
Captain Hind, who had charge of his
men at Homestead, told him that the
Pinkertons were fired on before the
barges, in which they were, reached the
works, and afterward when the steamer’s
gang plank was run out to the bank. It
was during the latter volley that the cap¬
tain was shot and not until then was a
shot fired from the barges. The witness
did not know who gave the order to fire,
and thought that no order was given. In
answer thought to a question, Pinkerton said that
he that labor organizations were
good in many respects and a benefit to
workingmen. They had a right to
strike, he thought, but no right to pre¬
vent other men from taking their places.
When asked what pr« fit the Pinkerton
agency made on sending the men to
Homestead, he replied “We are out $15,-
000 .”
He explained that his loss was caused
by the seizure of 225 rifles and other
property and the care or the men hurt in
the battle.
Chairman Gallinger suggested that Mr.
Carnegie would recompense the agency,
but Pinkeiton thought this was very
doubtful. The witness admitted that it
was sometimes customary for t ie Pinker¬
tons to pass themselves as workingmen
and mingle with the strikers. Pink< r-
ton said that he firmly believed that his
men were needed on many occasions be¬
cause of the insufficiency of local protec¬
tion. He thought that the supiness of
local au hority in strike times was large¬
ly due to political considerations.
“Do you think that the violet ce com¬
mitted at Homestead was due to the
strikers or to the rabble that wus attrac¬
ted there?” was asked.
“I think it was committed by the
strikers, their leaders, and the advisory
committe,” was the reply.
Pinkerton took occasion to deny that
Charles Waupenstein, Pinkerton sup-rin-
teudent, was an ex-convict, as charged

PENSION FIGURES.
Secretary Noble Famishes Estimates
for the Next Fiscal Year.
A Wsshingtun dispatch of 3Ionday
says: Treasury officials view with some
surprise the estimates sent up by Secre-
taty Noble for pensions. They are, in
their opinion, too small, but as it is
their duty to put them in the “book of
estimates,” in they go. Secretary No¬
ble’s figures in round numbers are $165,-
000,000 for pensions for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1894, and $10,500 000
as a d< ficier.cy for the fiscal year 1893,
which, with the appropriation of $147,-
000,000, brings up the pension money
for the fiscal year of 1893, $157,500,000.
The treasury department is now pay¬
ing out pension money at the rate of
$13,500,000 a month. This makes the
present rate $162,000,000 a year; but
this rate is inert a-ing each month and
unless the pension office stops work al¬
together and does not allow any new
cases or increases, the rate it is estimated
must inciease to at least $14,000,000 be¬
fore this present fiscal year is end-
ed. Wben the fiscal year 1893 94
is reached, for which Secretary Noble
says $1G6,000,000 will be sufficient, the
pension rnt«*, it is believed by the best
posted ' fficials in the treasury depart¬
ment, will be $15,000,000 a month, or
$180,000 000 a year, which will have a
deficiency of $14,000,000 for the second
sers’on of (he fifty-third congress to pro-
vide.
THE TENNESSEE MINERS
Coming to the Front Again on the Con¬
vict Question.
A Nashville dispatch says: General
Kellar Andeison, commandant of the
garrison of state troops at Coal Creek,
after returned spending Friday several night days in Nashville,
to his post. He
was asked if he anticipated any more
troub'e and replied: “I cannot tell. I
get it from what seems to be reliable
sources that the miners are organizing,
and they swear that the convicts shall
not be sent back before Judge Turney
becomes governor. r 'hey think that if
the conviits are not at the mines when he
enters upon his official duties that he will
not send them back. It is understood
also that a gTeat many refuse to join this
organization.”
OUR LIFE SAVING SERVICE.
Ge “ eral S»»«mte„deot KimWl Makes
ls Annual Report,
General Superintendent , Kimball, of the
15fe saving service, states in his annual
report that the number of disasters to
vessels within the field of operation of
'he service during the year was 337.
There were on board of these vessels
2,570 persons, of whom 2,500 were saved
and seventy lost. The number of-ship-
wrecked persons who received succor at
^he station was 747. Estimated value of
the vessel* and cargoes involved in the
disasters was $8,284,325. Of this
anv--uot 0 $7,111,003 WSfcl? tefcWf was Mt saved. Tbo

AN AGREEMENT PROBABLE.
The Ultimate Success of the Monetary
Conference Assured.
A cablegram of Tuesday from Brussels
says: The committees appointed by the
international monetary conference to
consider the proposals of Mr. Alfred de
Rothschilds, will also consider the plans
suggested by M. Levi and Professor
Adolphus Soeller. Professor Suelber’s
plan is to establish one gramme of fine
gold as the international unit of value
and to stop the minting of corns contain¬
ing less than 5.8065 grammes of pure
gold. The circulation of coin of foreign
countries of less than new standard
will be prohibited by the countries sign¬
ing an agreement, will and gold coin of infe¬
rior value be withdrawn within five
years. Private inviduals will be allowed
to coin gold upon the payment of au
agreed seigniorage, Gold certificates
may be issued against gold held in re¬
serve. Professor Soelber’s plan also in¬
cludes the coinage of silver in the pro¬
portion of twenty value units of that
metal to one of gold, but private indi¬
viduals will not be allowed the free
coinage of silver. Of the comm ttee five
are avowed bimetallists, six raonometal-
lists and one is doubtful. It will sit
twice each day. It is the general expect¬
ation that Mr. de Rothschild’s proposals
will be accepted by the committee and
referred to the conference and govern¬
ments with the modifications suggested
by the schemes of Mr. Levi and Professor
Soelber. One of the modieations will un¬
doubtedly be that all gold coins below
the vaue of twenty francs be with¬
drawn from circulation and replaced by
silver notes. The adhesion of the Ger¬
man delegates is considered certain, as
Herr de Cleben, formerly president of the
reichstng, approved the main lines of
Professor Soelber’s proposal. The French
representatives will also accept the Tirard, plan,
which was communicated by M.
French ex-minister of finance, and was
favorably received by the French dele¬
gates before it was submitted to the con-
terence.
With the prospects of an catly agree¬
ment, nobody now talks of the failure of
the conference, which at first was the
only prediction. will likely It is reported that the
conference conclude next
week.
The American delegates are disposed
to support Mr. Rothschild’s proposals on
the principle that half a loaf is better
than no bread.
POLITICS IN CHURCH.
A Strange State of Affairs in Country
Churches in North Carolina.
A Raleigh special say3: The North
Carolina Western 3Ietliodist conference
convened Tuesday morning at Alliston,
in the Centenary Methodist Episcopal
church, Bi hop Hendrix presiding, third The

tent with disturbing political relations
and quiet, is found to have also taken a
hand in religious matters. 3Iost of the

bers of trie country congregations, who
are members of Gideons band, or, under
its yoke, have declined in many cases tW
pay" church have assessments received for and this a number only of
pastors half their salaries. A reason number of
about
them have resigned their pastorate oh
this account.
FLOODS IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Terrible Destructiou of tbe Property
of Planters.
Cable dispatches of Saturday state that
the republic of Costa Rica continues to
be swept by destructive flo ids. Not only
have many lives been lost and much
property destroyed, 1 ut the face of the
landscape is bring changed in many
places by vast volumes of water precipi¬
tated upon the hill, valley and plain.
The foundations of mountains have been
sapped by the floods, and enormous
landslides hs.ve filled the ravines and
c vered fertile levels with rocks and
gravel. Hundreds of natives have seen
their homes wiped out and their little
patches of cultivated land obliterated,
while many plnnteis have seen coffee
plantations, which it t ok years of care
and capital to start, utterly destroyed.
THE ELEVATORS STOPPED
Because All the Firemen Went Out on a
Strike.
All the firemen iu the New York Steam
C< mpany’s great plant st uck Friday
morning against a reduction of wages.
The men left their posts one by on**, and
before doing so they opened the dampers,
letting great volumes of cold air into the
furnaces and bringing the steam pressure
down. The strikers are jubilant at the
consternation caused. Before long the
s’eam bad fallen thirty pounds from the
regular p essure. The elevators in the
Wcs’ern Union telegraph building had
to stop running. In the general post-
office electric lights went out, as there
was not pr< ssure enough to run the dy¬
namos. The strikes’ places were finally
filled, however, aud everything was soon
in running order.

No More Politics;
A Ralcigli disputen says: The execu¬
tive committee of the North Caroliaa
State alliance adjourned Friday night
•ifter a tnree days’ session. It made a
very searching investigation into the
‘tate business agency affairs, and made
an order that the books of the agency
were to be open at any time to any sub-
alliance which is a stockholder. The
state alliance org.n pledged itself in the
future to deal no more in politics.
California’s Vote.
A special of Tu sday from San Francis
co says: The official vote of all counties
in California, with the exception of San
Francisco, give Harrison a plurality of
6,422. Returns from all but nine pre¬
cincts in the city reduces Harrison’s plu¬
rality in the sta’e to 310, It is possible
that when the official vote has been com¬
pleted upon individual electors the elec¬
toral vote m*y be divided between Har¬
rison and Cleveland^_
