AN AUDITOR
IS APPOINTED
For the Southern Mutual Build”
ing and Loan Concern.
AN ATLANTA MAN IS SELECTED
Status of Defunct Association Is
Changed and Final Disposi
tison of Affairs Delayed.
Tbod. A. Hammond was appointed
auditor in the Southern Mutual Build
ing and Loan Association case at At
lanta Wednesday morning by Judge
Lumpkin. The test case which was
under way collapsed and further pro
gress being impossible, owing to the
inability of the attorneys to agree on
the facts, the auditor was appointed
upon motion of one of the attorneys.
It is thought that the litigation has
been delayed a year and a half by the
change in the course of affairs.
Under the conditions which the
case was progressing, it was thought
that the court would settle the ques
tion of withdrawing members, but
when the attorneys for the plaintiff
offered an amendment to their peti
tion there was considerable objection
and this was the beginning of the
breakdown in the proceedings.
To settle the difficulty Judge Lump
kin asked if their was any objection to
an auditor. There was some discus
sion of the proposition, but no decided
opposition was offered. Many of the
attorneys present agreed that it was
the proper thing to do. Suggestions
were then made as to who should be
appointed.
Judge Spencer R. Atkinson was sug
gested. Other names were put forward
and there was a long discussion over
the selection. It was finally agreed
that Mr. Hammond should be appoint
ed by the court. Judge Lumpkin then
directed an order to be drawn to that
effect.
The entire case will be in the hands
of the auditor and he will hear all the
evidence that is to be presented, the
contentions of the parties and the ar
gument on any questions which may
arise. Every feature of the case will
be considered by him, and he is in
structed by the. court to have his re
port ready to be submitted by Decem
ber 1st of the present year.
The answer of the receivers to a pe
tition asking for a reduction of ex
penses was filed with the court. In it
the receivers stated that the work
which had been entailed on them by
virtue of the winding up of the affairs
of the association had been very great
and would continue as much so as in
the past.
It was stated while the expenses of
the association for office help during
the prosperity of the concern had ex
ceeded $2,000, since the receiver took
hold of it the office expenses had been
about $385 per month or less than one
fifth of the amount expended each year
by the association when it was in its
corporate existence.
They showed who had been employ
ed by the receivers and how they had
been conducting the affairs on a great
ly reduced scale. It was stated that
in the original order of the court re
garding the appointment of a receiver,
while the court thought it best to have
two receivers, compensation for only
one was provided.
It was stated that the work of caring
for the numerous ancillary receiver
ships in various other states than
Georgia had been very great and the
work would continue so long as the af
fairs remained open. They said that
the appointment of an auditor will
place upon them considerable more
work.
The question of reducing expenses
precipitated a long discussion. Judge
Anderson*and Mr. O’Brien both spoke
of the work they had done and that
which will fall on them in the future.
Judge Lumpkin announced that he
would make no cut in the expenses at
present, but in the future if there was
any provocation he would consider the
question further.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.

outrageous and declares he will appeal

baby as a sick child in need of coun
try air. She was paid for taking
charge of the baby. The man known

notary public she made the following
confession:
“I aided in the abduction of Marion
Clark, the infant child of Author W.
Clark, of the city, county and state of
New York. In this abduction I was
prompted by Mark Beauregard and his
wife Jennie.
“I was told by them that I would
get half of any ransom paid for the
return of the child. I was poor, tired
of hard work and wanted money. I
was told that there would be absolutely
no danger.
“The Beauregards schooled me in
the way to abduct the child. We had
determined to take the first child that
would command a ransom.
“I met Mrs. Beauregard in Central
park. I would not let her take the
child then, I so pitied its mother.
“On Sunday I met Mrs. Beauregard
in the park again and she was so per
sistent that I let her take Marion from
the baby carriage. We went to Brook
lyn by the south ferry. Beauregard
“That afternoon Mrs.
took the letter to the Clarks, she
herself had written and gave it to a
boy in New York to deliver to the
Clarks. I knew Mrs. Beauregard
wrote the letter.
“On Monday, when the abduction
became public, the Beauregards and
Marion and I, Mrs. Beauregard carry
ing the baby, went to SloatsbUrg. I
staid there until Friday and then went
to the Beauregards’ flat.
“Yesterday Mr. Beauregard came to
see me, gave me $10 and told me to
leave the city. I then went to my
aunt’s home at White Oak Ridge. I
don’t know why I did this, except I
was ill^and needed money.”
BIG BIMETALLIST BANQUET.
Bryan and Belmont Entertain Oliio Valley
Democrats at Bouisville.
Seven hundred and sixty-nine bi
metallists from all parts of the United
States broke bread Friday night with
William Jennings Bryan at the dollar
banquet at Fountain !• erry park, Louis
ville, Ky. It was given by the execu
tive committee having charge of the
convention of the Ohio Valley League
of Bimetallic Clubs. The supply of
tickets, which were open to all, were
early exhausted, and Fountain Ferry
park, the largest pleasure resort in the
city, was thronged with those anxious
to obtain admission. The principal
features of the occasion were speeches
from Hon. W. J. Bryan and O. H. P.
Belmont.
It was strictly a dry banquet, ice

handed down.
LITTLE ROCK KNOWS BARROW.
Kidnaper of Marion Clark Is Son of a
Prominent Arkansas lawyer.
A Little Rock dispatch says: Beau
regard Barrow, alias J. A. Wilson, the
man arrested in New York state charged
with kidnaping little Marion Clark, is
well known in Little Rock. He be
longs to one of the most prominent
families in the state, and the news of
his arrest is the sensation of the hour.
While the news created momentary
astonishment at Barrow’s audacity,
there is but little lingering surprise at
anything in which Barrow may become
involved.
TO STAND SECOND TRIAL.

Murder of Husband.
Mrs. Mattie A. Hughes, the young
woman who killed her husband at

arraigned on the charge of murder at
Greeneville next week, At the last
term of court she was tried and a
mistrial resulted. The case will be
called this session on motion made by
defence. The allegation was that ow

a practical acquittal. The new con
stitution forbids twice placing in jeop
ardy a citizen on the same charge.

GEN. WHEELER
TO UNION VETS
Boston G. A. R. Men Give Him
Royal Welcome.
VAST AUDIENCE WAS PRESENT.
Address Teemed With Expressions
of Good Will—Tribute to
Hassachusetts.
A Boston, Mass., special says: For
the first time an ex-jfficer of the con
federacy delivered the Memorial Day
address before a New England Grand
Army post. General Joseph Wheeler,
the cavalry leader who led the boys in
gray at the famous charge at Shiloh
and nearly thirty-seven years later,
beneath the stars and stripes, cheered
on the volunteers at Santiago, was the
orator and guest of honor at the Me
morial Day services of Kinsley post
113, Grand Army of the Republic, at
the Boston theater. The immense au
ditorium was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. Wheeler opened his speech
General
with an eloquent tribute to the part
played by Massachusetts in the his
tory of the American commonwealth,
whose soldiers had played conspicu
ous parts in all wars and whose states
men had ever been famous in the halls
of congress.
He alluded to the prophecy of Gen
eral Horace Binney Dargent, who thir
ty years ago, on Memorial Day in the
city of Boston, predicted the day
would come when this aaniversary
would be celebrated “after some day
of glory when the sons of rebels and
our sons shall have fallen side by side
in some common cause of foreign war
as our sires and their sires fell side by
under the eye of the great rebel,
the Virginian, Washington.”
“Already,” said General Wheeler,
“the words of this prophecy have been
fulfilled, for the warriors who fell side
by side at La Guasimas, San Juan
and El Caney, mep from the north
and south, among them some of your
brave boys from the Second Massa
chusetts, were buried together in the
great national cemetery at Arlington,
while a great federal officer who took
part in the great struggle of our civil
war and now the chief executive of the
nation, by his presence, conferred
honor upon their funeral obsequies.”
“The spirit of true nobility taught
by American mothers has made our
country the pride and fear of the
world.”
Declaring that it was the duty of
every American to uphold the presi
dent and his cabinet when it has be
come thoroughly committed to a defin
ed policy, General Wheeler said:
“Patriotic devotion can be exercised
by volunteering to serve in the field,
but it may also be most profitably ex
erted in encouraging confidence amon^;
our people at home. Certainly no
good and only evil can come from
words and acts which tell rival nations
that even a portion of our people,
however few, are not in full sympathy
with our government,or what is worse,
that any Americans actually do sym
pathize with our country’s enemies,
Such a course cannot fail to weaken
confidence and embarrass the executive
power. of
Those who insist that the power
the United States is so great that it
must always triumph will admit that
difficulties or obstacles created by^ome
of our own people will have the effect
of retarding at least in some degree
the prompt and happy restoration to
perfect and lasting peace.
“I am one of those who firmly be
lieve that whatever is, is right, and I
cannot doubt but that conditions are
thrust upon a country by a course of
events following a well judged and
righteous action on the part of the
people and the government the con
sequence could not be other than bene
ficial, not only to the people of our
own country. but to the world at large,
“There is one sentiment which
should be impressed on every mind
and instilled into every heart:
“My country, may she always be
right, but right or wrong, my coun
try.”
BOXES OF GOLD STOLEN.
Steel Caskets Containing Five Thousand
Sovereigns Are Missing.
There was great excitement on the
steamship Alameda on her arrival at
San Francisco from Australia Friday,
when it was discovered that a box con
taining 5,000 sovereigns was missing.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand doi
lars in gold had been sent by the !
steamer from Sydney.
The money was shipped in thirty
steel boxes, each containing $25,000 in
British gold.
One of the boxes was abstracted ,
from the steamer’s treasure room dur- j
ing the voyage. Five men have been

PARISIAN MOBS
INSULT LOUBET
Disgraceful Scenes Enacted at
French Capital.
ONCE ANNA GOULD TOOK PART.
Loubet Was In Attendance On
Races—Over a Hundred
Arrests Hade.
A Paris special says: President
Loubet, accompanied by the premier,
M. Dupuy, and the chief of the mili
tary household, General McBaillereud,
drove to the Auteuil races Sunday af
ternoon, closely followed by Madame
Loubet in a second landau. As they
drove along the avenue des Champs
Elysee the crowd bowed respectfully,
but ou arriving at Auteuil they were
met by a violeut demonstration, evi
dently organized, and directed against
the president.
There was a storm of hoots, calls
and cries of “Panama,” “abas Lou
bet” aud “vive l’armee. ” A few of
“vive Loubet” were drowned in the
clamor.
A strong force of police kept order
and arrested many of the disturbers,
including a man who tried to force his
way to the president’s carriage.
During the second race the clamor
increased to violence and was plainly
directed by a committee of the League
Patriots, collected with their sup
porters, both before and behind the
presidential staud, around which a
formidable affray proceeded.
During the grand steeplechase many
blows were struck, and several police
men were injured in their endeavors
to prevent an invasion of the presi
dential stand.
At the crisis of the excitement, while
shouts of “vive 1‘armes” and “vive de
Roulede” were heard ou all sides,
Count Christiano rushed toward the
president, brandishing a stick and
directed a blow against him, striking
his hat.
The crowd rushed upon Christiano,
who only escaped severe handling by
being taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all the
while quite unmoved, talking to the
premier, while officers of his military
household were defending him against
violence. Finally, after thirty arrests
had been made, the prefect of police
ordered the republican guards to sur
round the presidential stand.
The principal leaders of the demon
j stration were Mr. Joseph Lasies, anti
Semite and nationalist, deputy for
1 Geers, and M. Firmin Faure, anti
Semite and nationalist, deput y for
Oran, Algeria.
A special cabinet council was sum
■ moned at 9 o clock Sunday evening to
consider the situation, and important
; measures were concerted to be sub
, mitted to the president at another
! of council order. Monday The ministers for the who preservation in
were
session until 11 o’clock, maintains
strict reserve as to the nature of these
measures, but a sgmi-official note has
been issued, which says:
“The government will act with the
greatest energ^ and will impose the re
spect for the president aud for
state.”
Further accounts show that the
whole race course, particularly the
inclosure, witnessed scenes of the
wildest excitement.
Comtesse Boni de Castellane, who
was Miss Anna Gould, of New York
I city, placed herself at the head of the
Jennesse^ Royalists and marched up
and down the lawn shouting “vive
l’armee.” Comte Boni de Castellane
and his brother Jeane were arrested,
but soon liberated,
Comte de Lion, when arrested, re
sisted and fought with his cane, smash
jug it on a policeman’s head and caus
iug the jeweled top to fly off, striking
a journalist. He was detained in
custody.
Altogether about 130 arrests were
made, one being that of M. Dansette,
deputy mayor of Armentieres.
DREYFUS TRIAL ASSURED.
Work of the Court of Cassation In Paris
Practically Finished.
The Paris correspond snt of The
London Morning Post says:
The work of the court of cassation
is practically finished. Each of the
judges gave his opinion today (Friday)
and only formalities remain.
The councillors were almost unani
mously in favor of revision, and the
decision to be given tomorrow (Satur
day) will be even more energetically
in favor of Dreyfus than was the re
port of M. Ballot de Beaupre. It will
declare that the “Canaille de D—-”
document is in no way applicable to
Dreyfus.
CUBAN OFFICERS WANT PAY
For Services Rendered In Identifying
Member* „f Cuban Army.
A special from Havana states that
there is much comment over the fact
that Cuban officers have been demand
ing $5 as compensation for identifica- I
tion of Cubans who have been appli
cauts for the $75 allowed by the United
States authorities to former soldiers of
the Cuban army, who surrender their
arms.
M’SWEENY TAKES OATH
As Governor of South Carolina.
Funeral of Governor
Ellerbe.
At 11:15 o’clock Saturday night in
the parlor of Wright’s hotel, in Co
lumbia, S C., M. B. MoSweeney was
administered the oath of the office of
governor of South Carolina. The oath
was administered by Chief Justice
Mdver and Associate Justices Pope
and Gary.
Governor McSweeney said only a
few words. He fully realized the re
sponsibilities of the office, and he was
going to be the governor of the whole
of South Carolina; that was his aim.
He sincerely regretted the death of
Governor Ellerbe and most heartily
sympathized with his family. He
had been urged, he said, to come to
Columbia weeks ago and assume the
duties of governor, but he had not
done so, knowing that it was the wish
of Governor Ellerbe to die while actual
governor of the state.
At the conclusion of his remarks the
state officers present, in turn, assured
the governor that he would have their
hearty co-operation.
' E. H. Ault, editor of The News and
Herald, of Newberry, S. C., and pres
ident of the South Carolina Press As
sociation, has been appointed Gov
ernor McSweeney’s private secretary.
Governor Ellerbe’s funeral occurred
at Marion Saturday afternoon and was
attended by all the prominent state
officials.
The services, which were very sim
ple, were performed by Rev. J. E.
Beard, a Methodist preacher. There
was no eulogy. There were probably
500 people present, chiefly neighbors
of the governor. The interrment took
place in the little family burying
ground in a secluded grove.
During the day the statehouse, court
house and dispensaries in Columbia
were closed. It was the first time in
the history of the state a governor had
died in office.
DESIGN WAS OBJECTIONABLE.
G. A. It. Committee Explains Why Floral
Tribute Wag Not Accepted.
The Grand Army of the Republic
posts of Columbus, O., received con
siderable notoriety on account of hav
iug refused to receive a floral tribute
from ex-Confederates of the south, to
be placed on Union graves in that
city. The floral committee which re
jected the emblem has prepared a
statement explaining the matter. The
report says:
“The chairman of the committee, in
accepting the wreath, did not know
what entered into the formation of the
emblem. When it was learned that
the design contained the emblem of the
American flag supported by an arm
clothed in the confederate gray above
and arm clothed in blue beneath,
many members of the Grand Army of
the Republic entered their protests
against the placing of the emblem up
on the mound, and it was rejected.”
DUC D’ARCOS RECEIVED.

It was a notable occassion in the
world’s history—the resumption of

were especially notable. They were
plain spoken and devoid of the usual
hazy diploftiatic phraseology.

I TO GERMANY
Spain Finally Disposes of the
Caroline Group.
CAUSES SURPRISE AT CAPITAL
* Mari
Queen Regent Disposes of - *
anne, Caroline and Palos To
Kaiser William.
A special from Madrid says: The
queen regent opened the corte9 Friday
with the usual ceremonial and in the
speech from the throne announced
that Marianne, Caroline Palos islands
were ceded to Germany by the late
Spanish ministry. During the course
of her speech her majesty said:
At the opening of the cortes ail
the sorrows which have wrenched our
hearts through the disasters which
have visited our country are re-awak
ened.
We must preserve sadness in order
to derive experience thereform, but the
woes of our country are of such a na
ture that reticence and silence avail
better than complaints.
When peace with the United States
was concluded, parliamentary troubles
caused a changed of cabinet and the
present cabinet was formed. Under
the constitution, it belonged to me,
to ratify the treaty by laying it before
the chamber. There remained under
our control the Carolines, Palos and
mo st of the Marianne islands. But
the former cabinet believed it useless
for Spain to retain such minor ap
pendage of our ancient empire and
signed with German emperor a conven
tion offering to cede these territories
under the law which would be sub
mitted immediately to the chamber.
Our foreign relations are cordial and
friendly. We especially owe to the
pope recognition of the many times he
has given us his moral support.
The most important, most urgent
and most difficult task before you is to
balance the budget and liquidate the
debts resulting from the war through
ordinary and permanent sources of in
come. Thanks to the severely econo
mic policy projected, the government
will not ask fresh sacrifices of the
country, except such as can be equit
ably divided among all classes.
With the ordinary budget will also
be presented schemes to liquidate the
charges created by the loss of posses
sions and colonial campaigns.
The queen regent then referred to
the financial measures, and expressed
confidence that the nation would show
the same resignation during peace as
it showed during the wai - , adding:
“For the times are critical, and it is
impossible during the present session
to do all that is necessary. But, dur
ing the next session there will be pro
jects for the reorganization of the army
and navy, based ou obligatory service;
for improving the public service, de
centralizing the provincial and munic
ipal administrations and reforming the
penal code aud electoral laws,” etc.
The strategic value of this cession
to the German interests in the Pacific
is evident from the fact that the Lad
rones aud Palos and even the Caro
lines are in practicaily a direct line
between Hawaii and the Philippines,
and will form excellent points of sup
ply for Germany. The American
peace commissioners at Paris last De
cember vainly sought one of the Caro
line islands on account of its being in
a line with Hawaii and the Philippines
and its adaptability as a station for
the proposed Pacific cable to connect
the Philippines with Hawaii and the
United States. Failing in that, how
ever, the Amorican flag was hoisted
over Wake island, 1,700 miles east of
Guam.
Of No Concern To Us.
The announcement at Madrid that
g pa i n has ceded tho Caroline islands
an( j p a ] oS a nd the Mariannes to Ger
many, was received with surprise at
Washington. The cession marks the
relinquishment of Spanish possession
in the far east save the island of Fer
nando Po and dependences on the
African coast.
A MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE.

A Washington special says: Acting

Sunday night. They were summoned
by the president,, it is understood.
What the nature or result of the con
ference was can only be conjectured as
yet, as the parties to it declined to dis
cuss it.
Mr. Meiklejohn said in response to
a p inquiries that there was nothing to
ma ] co public and that the subject
under consideration was not of a seri
ous character.
