Washington, March 24.—Although a
proposition to report the bill for the re
peal of the 10 per cent state bank tax has
been killed in the house committee on
banking and currency, it is intendod to
bring it before the house for action. The
committee has authorized Chairman
gprmger to report the bill for the relief
of certain bunks, chiefly in the southern
(tatee, which during lest summer issued
clearing house certificates in various
parts of the country.
Representative Johnson, of Indiana,
protested against this uction of the com-
taittee for the reason that it would per
mit the friends of the repeal to oiler that
proposition as an amendment to the hill,
bnt lie received no support. "When Mr.
Springer calls up the bill named,
which it is understood he will do at
the earliest practicable day, it is
said that Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, will
move to amend by adding a section to
repeal the state bank tax. Then the
whole matter will be before the house
for consideration, and a somewhat ex
tended debate is anticipated, and it is
thought not improbable that Mr. Cox’s
amendment will receive the votes of a
majority of the house.
Maddox Meets Objections.
Washington, March 24.—There wore
loss than 50 members on the floor when
the house met. Mr. Maddox, of Geor
gia, asked unanimous consent for the
consideration of a resolution directing
the secretary of the navy to declare a
vacancy at the naval acauemy from the
Seventh Georgia district. Mr. Maddox
explained that ex-3ecretary Tracy had
appointed George F. B. Stone, of Wash-
ton in 1890 to fill a vacancy from this
district.
Mr. Dingley, Republican from Maine,
thought it would be a peculiar hardship

A BLOT UPON_OUR RECORD-
Darin* the first two decades of the
century, when Athena was a struggling
village, stretching from the river to
College Avenue, interments of the d;ad
were made on the College hill, an area
now covered by the property of Mu.
Bishop. Intrusions on what was reser
ved for the Campos determined the
Trustees of the University to prohibit
any more interments there, but they
set apart a lot of ground to be used by
the town as a banal ground. The place
selt cted is now known aa the Old Grave-

the proper way to correct this abuse of

INVITED THE PRESIDENT.
Citizen, of Frzidcrlcksburg Want Him to
Visit Their City In May.
Washington, March 24.—The presi
dent has received three committees from
Fredericksburg, Va., representing that
city, the Mary Washington Monument
committee, and the Masonic fraternity,
tvho extended an invitation to him and
Mrs. Cleveland, as well as the members
of the cabinet and their wives to attend
tho dedication of the monument at Fred
ericksburg May 10.
The president regretted that it would
be impossible for Mrs. Cleveland to ac
cept, but he thought he would be able
to go, provided he would not be expect
ed to remain away from the White
House over night. An effort was made
to get his promise to attend the Masonic
banquet on the evening oi the dedica
tion. but he said he must decline.
He said his illustrious Democr trie pre
decessor had gone to Fred.ricii .Lurg on
a similar occasion and stayed several
days, but public business was now too
pressing and if he got av •> at all he
would have to take a Bp rial train to
the celebration in the morn... and re
turn the same afternoon.
He said Mrs. Cleveland was very anx
ious to go, but it was iiupc hie for her
to leave her youngest cbilu so long. Sec
retary Herbert saw the commi t e ana
promised to send the marine band to the
dedication uud-furnish all needed flags
tor the decoration in addition to attend
ing himselt.
iuvitations have also been extended to
the British and French ambassadors and
the Mexican minister, and favorable as
surances have already been received
from them, and from a sufficient num
ber of state and national officials to in
sure a worthy celebration.

Washington, March 22.—The day
opened withont any indication of inter
esting proceedings in the Pollard-Breck
inridge trial, for spectators who have
attended the trial have found docu
mentary testimony, no matter how sen
sational, does not compare in dramatic
effect with the evidence given on tin
stand. Miss Pollard was an early comet
and seemed in very good spirits. She
remained about IS minutes, then left
the courtroom..
The deposition of Sister Augustine,
who was connected with the St. Joseph
foundling near Cineiimati, in 1885, at.
the time when Miss Pollard claims she
was confined there, was read. She
knew of only one Louise Wilson who
had been an inmate ef the asylum, and
she wds there when the deposition was
S ven; had never heard ef Miss Pollard
i an inmate.
The evidence of Sister Augustine cor

Mr. Stoll read the deposition of Mrs.
Lena Schmidt, a'ufirae at the Foundling
hospital. She testified that she djd not
remember anyone named Lentao Wilson
at the asvlnm and oenld net recognize
Miss Pollard in Oesamber. When cross-
examined, Mrs. Schmidt did not remem
ber any Mrs. Bnrgoyhe or Borguyn nor
anything about her.
The deposition of Dr. W. B. Deoour-
cey, a physician at the Foundling asy
lum, waB objected te by Mr. Carlisle on
the ground of immateriality, but was
admitted by Judge Bradley. The phy
sician testified that he did not know
Madeline Pollard er Louise Wilson, but
that thsrp had been a girl in the convont
named Wilson In 1884 and 1885, whose
first name he did not remember and
whose face he would net recognize.
He had looked over the books of the
> asylum and found no record' of Louise
. Wilson. At times a special physician
' ttitonded patients at the hospital if they
so requested.

to conversations between Brown and

and Miss Pollard, and it was ruled out.
All objections of plaintiff to the evidence
about the absence of Miss Pollard from

We Should all Take an Abiding In

Every man of us should exert every

country and make it prosperous, as bas

Northwest that was an absolutely un

The following letter addre&gd to
agents of the Georgia railroad by Mr.

active steps to get some of your leading
citizens interested with you. There
will be very little, if any, expense at
tached to it. After eaoh society has
formed an organization, a general con
vention could be called in Augusta rep
resented by delegates from each county
and they could formulate plans that
-would work to the interest of eaoh and
every oounty, irrespective ot Augusta
alone. I trust that you will take the
matter in aand and get to work at once
and advise me of the results.
Something has to be done to promote
the interest of this seotion. Other
Southern States are making such move
ments as we can not aff jrd to keep quiet
and not let the outside world know that
advantages we possess.
Yery respectfully,
Job W. White, T. P. A.

DIED OF MS'WOPNDS ' '
Mr. B. T, Craft Died at die Home at
His Home on Friday Morning-
Our readers will remember that Mr.
E. T. Craft had a difficulty on the
Wmsler farm about one mile from the
city with a negro named Billy B^ggs
Smith about two weeks, sinoe iu which
he received a severe wound, the sub-
olavian artery being severed.
Mr. Crafc lingered for several days,
the physicians having but little hope
from the first of hia recovery, and on
Friday morning at 6 o’clock he quietly
breathed his last.'
He bore bis sufferings with remark
able fortitude. Even while the physi
cians were dressing hia wounds, think
ing the patient was nnd-r the influence
of opiates and unconscienoe, Mr. Craft
with a smile imformed them that he
had heard all that bad been said and
knew hia critical condition, but be
lieved he would recover. His calmness
and serenity under the circumstances
was very remarkable.
Mr. Craft was between 85 and 40
years of age, and leaves a wif s and two
obildren to mourn his death. For sev
eral years he had been a consistent
member of the Christian chnrch, and
at the time of bis death held an office
of responsibility in that church. *
He was buried yesterday at Thomp
son’s Mills, in Jaokson connty, a large
number of friends attending the sol
emn services.
• Billy Boggs Smith, up to the present
time, has not been oaptured, although
the officers of the county have used
every effort to capture him. We sup
pose the State authorities will offer a
reward for the capture of the murderer
