THE ACCUSED ACQUITTED,
And the Horrible* ruck wood Murders
tire Still Unavenged.
Wednesday, at Tavares, Fla., after
a trial lasting sixteen days, Irwin Jen
kins, Muriou Clinton aud William
McRae were acquitted of what are
known as “the Rack wood murders."
Tito crime with which the men was
charged was committed on the night
of December 10, 1801, and was most
brutal. The victims were Mbs Bruce,
h young woman aged thirty; her
nephew, Frank Packwood, aged seven,
Mrs. Hatch, aged forty, and her son,
Bennie Hatch, aged ten. The victims
were butchered in a horrible manner
and Miss Bruce and Mrs. Hatch were
assaulted. The crime was committed
near New Smyrna, in Volusia county.
For a long time the murders were
mysteries, but at last suspicion fell on
Jenkins, McRae and Clinton, the first
being an Indian and the two latter
prominent young white men, and they
were arrested aud indicted.
Last year the men were tried
and convicted, but they appealed and
the supreme court remanded the case
for a second trial, which has resulted
iu the acquittal of the accused as
stated. The evidenoe was purely cir
cumstantial but on the first trial was
considered strong.
In the second trail the state was
handicapped by the absence of mate
rial witnesses and did not make a
strong case.
The two trials have cost Volusia
county thousands of dollars, and bank
rupted the defendants aud their fami
lies, and after all,the persons who mur
dered and assaulted Miss Bruce and
Mrs. Hatch and killed two innocent
little boys, ure unpunished.
AC'QUI V IAh OK COI r.
He Ordered the Troops to Fire on In
tending Lynchers.
The long trial of Col. A. B. Coit
ended at Columbus, O., Saturday
night, iu acquittal. He ordered his
troops to fire on a body of intending
lynchers at Washington Court House,
and several of the mob were killed. A
separate indictment for murder was
found against him for each person kill
ed. The prosecution announced that
they would call up tlie other indict
ments at once.
Tho house ways and means commit
tee Thursday ordered a favorable re
port on a bill extending tho privileges
of the law relating to certain kinds of
fruit brandy, to brandy distilled from
apples, peaches, grapes, prunes,
oranges, apricots and berries.
Iu tho senate, Thursday, Mr. IYfl'or,
populist, of Kansas, introduced a bill
providing that whoro soldiers served
first in tho Confederate army or navy
and afterward enlisted and served in
the federal army or navy, their service
in tho Confederacy shall not debar
them from pensions.
United States District Attorney Mao*
furlnne is‘engaged iu investigating the
ill-fated Huwkins expedition. The ar
rest of Garcia and other leaders now
in Washington for violation of the
neutrality laws is tho possible outcome
ot tho investigation. Cubans are
badly frightened and it is hard to find
any one who will admit, knowing any
thing about tho Hawkins or having
anything to do with her.
The house committee on military af
fairs, Friday, completed the uriny ap
propriation bill for the coining fiscal
year, ft carries an appropriation of
$23,275,902, being $817,000 below the
estimates on which it is baaed, and
$23,294 over tho amount allowed for
the current, year. Tho Indian appro
priation bill has been completed by a
sub-committee of tho house committee
on Indian nflairs. As at presold ar
ranged the bill carries a total, in round
numbers, of $8,478,000, a doorcase
from tho total of the appropriation for
the current fiscal year of about
$400,000.
Elver ton Chapman, tho New York
broker, recently convicted in tho crim
inal court of tho District, of Columbia
for refusing to answer questions pro
pounded to him by a senate commit
tee of investigation as to alleged specu
lations of United States senators iu
sugar trust stock, was called up Satur
day for sentence. Tho court, over
ruled a motion for arrest of judgment
and sentenced Chapman to thirty days’
imprisonment in tho district jail and
a fine of $100. Notice of appeal to
the court of appeals was at once given
and Chapman was released on bail
ponding the result of the appeal.
Quito a number of tho bids for bonds
received ut the treasury are directed
simply to the secretary of the treasury
or Secretary Carlisle, and these letters,
with nothing on the envelope to indi
cate tho nature of their contents have
been and are daily opened in the ordi
nary routine of business, in some in
stances the price bid has been, it is
said, ns high as 112, but this figure has
been only for small amounts. Ah on
former occasions, tho heavy bidders
will probably not submit, their pro
posals until the lust day or so and come
in person with their propositions and
be present at the opening. There
seems at present no reason to doubt
that the issue of $100,000,000 will be
over subscribed, but whether at figures
tho treasury will accept remains to be
soon.
Bayard May Resign.
A Washington special of Monday
says: From apparently perfectly reli
able sources, it is learned that Presi
dent Cleveland has in his possession a
letter from Ambassador Bayard notify
ing him that in case the house of rep
resentatives passes any resolution of
censure of whatever character con
cerning him, ho will immediately re
sign the post of ambassador to tho
court of St. James.
At tho meeting of tho house com
mittee on foreign affairs, the republi
can majority decided to bring to tho
house a resolution of censure directed
against Mr. Bayard on account of his
recent attack on protection and tho
evils which it has introduced every
where in political life. It is likely
that the house will pass some res
olution though the shape of it canuot
now be determined.
Should a resolution now pass, which
seems probable, and Bayard comes
home, his coming is likely to prove
nothing short of a national calamity.
In the present status of our relations
with Great Britain, the recall of a
traiued diplomat, like Bayard, who has
the entire confidence not only of tho
American people but the British ns
well, might so precipitate diplomatic
questions that it would bo disastrous.
Sir. Bayard’s service as secretary of
state aud ambassador has made him
thoroughly familiar with all of our
contentions with Great Britain and a
new mart would be almost at the mercy
of the English diplomats.
Uncle Sam Demands Indemnity.
A dispatch from Constantinople to
the Central News (London) says that
the United States have demanded
from the porte the payment of a largo
indemnity for the losses sustained by
the American missionaries through the
action of the mobs in Asia Minor.
Til K BKLTi AT 1IOMK.
I’ho Precious KoMc Again Hack in In
dependence Halt.
Tho north and tho south shook hands
very cordially over tho old Liberty
bell at Philadelphia Friday night.
The joint special committee of tlit*
councils which has had charge of the
exhibition of the boll at the Cotton
States and International exposition,
gave a banquet, in tho Union League,
to tho Atlautians who escorted the
relic safely back to Philadelphia, and
the assembly room of tho league was
almost too small to contuiu the gath
ering of citizens who came out to
honor tho occasion.
The dinner was ouo of the most
notable that has been given in tho city
for u long time. Tho guests began ♦o
ass. mblo shortly before 7 o’clock and
a largo number of prominent, Phila
delphians were present to greet tho
visitors.
How tho Hell Will Received.
Tho old bell found a warm welcome
awaiting it, on its arrival in tho city.
Hanging from its sturdy oaken yoke,
and guarded by four stalwart members
of tho Philadelphia reserves, with flags
Hying from every part of the platform
car, and in the midst of u nuns of
potted plants and flowers, the precious
relic rolled into Broad street station
at 11 o’clock, and into the open arms
of tho multitude gathered there to
meet it. The cheers which went up
could bo heard for a mile, aud Battery
A fired a salute of twenty-live guns,
while tho incoming party were loiving
the train.

HOILKRS BLOW UP.
Five Mill Hands Killed and Many
More Injured.
Information lins been received that a
battery of six boilers in the sawmill of
the Southern Fine Company of Geor
gia, at Ofiermau, a station eleven miles
east, of Blaekshear blew up Wednesday
morning with frightful loss of life.
The mill whs shut down for break-
last when the explosion occurred,
otherwise the fatality would have been
much greater. Five negroes, mill
hands, are now dead and two others
are expected to die. Homo of the
bodies are terribly mutilated.
One boil r was broken half in two,
one end being hurled in one direc'ion
and its fellow in Hie opposite. Three
boilers were- lifted but bodily and
hurled with great force, doing great
damage to buildings and machinery.
Two boilers remain in position. There
were two explosions the first not. ho
severe, but immediately followed by
the second, which di 1 the greatest
damage.
CKN rICNNIAL COMMISS!ON EUS
Named by tlio Woman’s Hoard In
Tennessee.
An important meeting of tho execu
tive committee of the woman’s Ten
nessee centennial board wus hold at
Nashville aud a resolution wus adopted
under which the wives of all governors
in the United States were made state
centennial commissioners.
A general meeting of the woman’s
board will be held in a few (lays at which
time these nominations will bo ratified
and then the commissions will be for
warded to tho ladies thus elected. It
is almost a certainty that the stock
holders will postpone the centennial un
til May, 1898, ut their next meeting, but
that means u greater exposition and
that everything will he ready the
opening day. There are six immense
buildings now going up and they will
be compil’d by .Tune 1st, this year.
HUNTER LOSES ONE.
The First Break In Him Kentucky
Senatorial Deadlock.
The first break in the Hunter ranks
occurred in the Kentucky legislature
Thursday, when Dr. J. E. Chambers,
of Kenton county, voted for Judge W.
H. Holt, of Frankfort. The announce
ment of Chambers’ veto caused a cry
to go up among tho anti-IIunter peo
ple who declared that it was all over
with that candidate. Whether this
will turn out to bo the case or not, re
mains to be seen. Judge Holt’s friends,
it is said, assert that if all the republi
cans will go to him, he cun bo elected.

BITS OF NEWS GATHERED FROM
OVER THE STATE,
Being a Summary of Interesting Hap
penings From Day to Day.
Tho annual conclave of the Grand
Oonmiuudory of Georgia Templars will
bo held iu Columbus April 15th.
Brick isboing placed on the ground
to build an annex to tho Brumby Chair
company in Marietta, 50x100 foot, for
the purpose of manufacturing furni
ture.
Tho veteran and honorary members
of the Chatham Artillery met recently
to take steps looking to the formation
of a veteran corps. A committee was
appointed to further the proposition.
Morganton lias employed Dorsey,
Brewster A- Howell, of Atlanta, to test
tho constitutionality of the bill re
moving the county site to Blue Uidge.
The bill will bo presented to .fudge
Gober. Tho petitioners are O. F.
Cleastom, J. E. Alsbrook and L. G.
Catcher.
Tho eitizons of Flovilla were very
much surprised to loaru that Colonel
J. It. L. Smith, of Macon, had ap
peared before Judge Beck, in tho in
terest of the minority stockholders of
tho Indian Springs and Flovilla rail
road and stopped tho leasing of that
property, and also filed suit against.
W. C. Hale, of Atlanta, aud Mr, A.
Lindsey.
Judge Spcor began tho hearing at
Macon, Monday morning of the mo
tion of the stato of Georgia to dismiss
the application for a writ of habeas
corpus for Mrs. Nobles, now ponding
iu the Federal court.
Attorney-Gouorul Terrell argued
tho motion to dismiss, while Hon. Bill
Glenn, of Atlanta, and Marvin Harris,
of Macon, presented the claims of the
applicant. At 2 o’clock, pending Mr.
Glotiu’s argument, court adjourned
uhtil Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock;
Tho lawyers of Savannah arc hear
tily in favor of Congressman Bartlett’s
proposition to annex Macon to tho
northern district of the United States
court and have a district judge resid
ing in Savannah. They will probably
lake thematter in band and have the
bill urgod through congress on ac
count of tho large amount of United
States court business that is constant
ly on hand at Savannah to be trans
acted.
Nino persons wore injured and nine
teen ears were wrecked in a head end
collision between locomotives of two
extra freight trains on the Central
railroad a few days ago seven miles be
low' Macon on the main lino. One of
trains was loaded with guano aud tho
other was loaded with wood. None of
the persons were fatally injured, and
only four of the cars were badly dam
aged. The traliiH were not running
very fast when the collision occurred.
Neither of tho engineers was at fault.
The cause of the accident was a com
plicated train order.
Tho ordinary of Kalmn county lias
fixed tho time of the trial of W. H.
Keener for lunacy on February 0th,
and the sheriff is now summoning the
eighteen jurors who have been selected
by the ordinary. The petition was
filed several days ago. Tho two prin
cipal allegations in tho petition are
that Keener was insane at the time of
tho killing of Arizona and Leona
Moore and that lie is now insane. Tho
oridinary is somewhat puzzled when
he contemplates the dignity that may
attach to his office in tho event tho
jury adjudges Keener insane.
To File Objections.
Mr. Charles N. West and Judge A.
IT. MaoDonell have gone down to New
Orleans to present objections before
Judgo Pardee to tho granting of an
order discharging the receivers of the
Central railroad and turning over the
assets to Messrs. Thomas aud By an.
Attorneys for these gentlemen have
ulso gone there to ask for such an or
der. Tho objections are put on the
grounds of collusion, the fact that the
new securities have not yet been de
livered by Messrs. Thomas and Byan,
and the fact that any claims agaist
these men would have to be litigated
in New York, where they reside, in
stead of iu tho courts where tho prop
erty is now held. The heuring is ex
pected to be an interesting one.
To Vote For Bonds.
For the fourth time Gordon insti
tute, at Burnesvillc, has outgrown
itself. This time the need is a large
auditorium for commencement exer
cises and other public entertainments,
connected with tho institute. So great
hns been tho demand for this building
that the town will have an election for
tho issue of $5,000 worth of bonds, the
money to Do used to construct this
auditorium and to heat the main build
ing by steam and to put iu other mod
ern improvements. Tho old chapel ot
the institute will bo converted into n
normal school, which institution will
enable tho town to receive an appro
priation of $3,000 annually from the
state to support the normal school.
Coni promised on Tuxes.
Two or three years ago the point
was made against the Southern Ex
press Company that, Augusta being
tho headquarters of tho company, it
was liable for taxation by the city,not
only Upon the usn.'Ih of the company
in the local office at Augusta, but
throughout the country. Tho compa
ny resisted this ruling, but tho city
aasessors added $200,000 to the re
turns of the company iu 1892, and in
each of tho three succeeding years
$500,000. Tho taxes, interest and pen
alties amounted to something over
$25,000.
Suit was entered for this amount
and tho case was pending in tho su
perior court. With tho assent of
.fudge Calloway a compromise was en
tered into, tho Southern Express Com
pany agreeing to pay the city $10,000,
which means a clean receipt to .Janu
ary 1, 189(5. The decree was entered
last Monday, but does not become iu
force till the amount named shall have
boon paid to the city.
Clilckumauga Commission Named.
Tho governor has announced tho ap
pointment of tho inc-mbors of the Chiok-
amauga park commission. Tho legis
lature, it will be remembered, appro
priated $25,000 for the purpose of Hoe
ing that Georgia bo properly repre
sented on tlio Ohickamaugabattlefield,
and that the valor of her troops on
that famous field bo appropriately
commemorated by a monument or
monuments. The appointment of the
commission to have charge of this
work wuh left with the governor. Tho
commission consists of four mou,in ad
dition to tho-adjutftut general, who isc-x-
oflieio a member. The resolution pro
viding for its appointment was intro
duced by ltopro&entative Gray, of Ca
toosa, and tho governor tendered him
one of tho places on the commission,
but lie declined on the ground that ho
has accepted a government position
and could not give tho matter the at
tention that it requires. Mr. Gray is
to have a position iu the laud ollico of
tho government.
The governor lias made the following
appointments:
Major Joseph B. Cummings, of Au
gusta ; Captain W. S. Everett, of At
lanta; Hon. Gordon Loo, of Cbicka-
mauga, and .Judge J. S. Boynton, of
Grill! n.
Controls Twenty-One Banks.
Tho case of W. S. Witham, the well
known bank president, which was
brought against several of the stock
holders of the Elbert-on bank, will bo
carried to the supreme court.
Tho ohbo wuh heard and concluded in
tho first- division of the superior court
at Atlauta a few days ago. After hear
ing tho evidence in the ease, Judge
Reid ruled that the application fora
receiver bo denied. As soon as the de
cision was rendered Attorney Methviu
announced that ho would carry the ease
up.
Mr. Witham is one of tho most noted
bank presidents in tho world, as ho is
president of twenty-two banks in the
stato of Georgia alone. Ho has been
in the business for eight years, during
which time these banks have boon or
ganized aud put into successful opera
tion. The ease against the Elbcrton
bank contains several sensational
charges. He claims that ho was de
frauded out of the position of presi
dent by the fraudulent voting of stock
which was obtained under false pre
tense.
The petition sot- forth the following:
He owned and controlled more than
125 shares of tlio bank, which gave
him a controlling interest, but that
certain stockholders who had schemed
against him secured stock which was
not their own and voted it, thus de
feating him in the position. When the
stockholders’ meeting was held, lie
found that another man had been
elected president. It is further charged
that it was the intention of the other
stockholders to wreck the bunk, us ho
held most of tho stock, and would lose
several thousand dollars, while their
loss would bo nominal.
Mr. Witham is president of tho
Georgia County Bank Stock Security
Company, which is capitalized at $500,-
000. This company has its principal
oflico in Atlanta, but docs business
throughout the state. It is tlio ob
ject of tho company to buy and sell
bank stock, in this manner securing
the control of the banks which are or
ganized by its president.
The banks owned and organized by
Mr. Witham number twenty-two. They
are located in the following cities and
towns: Farmers and Merchants’ bunk,
Benoiu; Farmers arid Merchants’ bank,
Thomuston ; Bunk of Monticello, Mou-
tieello; Bunk of Warrenton, Warren-
ton ; Douglasville Banking company,
Douglasville; Bank of Louisville,
Louisville; Bank of Buford, Buford;
Bank of Milieu, Milieu; Farmers and
Merchants’ bank, Lawrencevilie; Bunk
of Winder, Winder; Bank of Cnrters-
ville, Cartersville; Bank of Duvisbor-
ough, Davisborough ; Bank of Butler,
Butler; Bank of Lexington, Lexing
ton; Bank of Tifton, Tifton; Bank of
Teunille, Teuuille; Bank of Fitzgerald,
Fitzgerald; Merchants and Planters’
bank, West- Point.
When Mr. Witham goes into a town
in which there are no banking facili
ties, ho calls a meeting of the citizens
and makes them a proposition. When
the bank is organized, ho takes a con
trolling interest in tho institution and
places the bank on a firm footing. Ho
has a set of rules which he leaves for
the cashier aud which give him all tho
information needed iu the business of
the bank. All applications for loans
and other matters to bo given careful
consideration aud sent direct to him
in Atlauta, aud he immediately makes
known his decision on the matter. In
this way ho practically has direct su
pervision of tlio banks in all the places
where they are established. Ho lias
been very successful in the operatioh
of tho banks and every bank organized
by him has been able to pay not less
tliau 8 per cent.
