Just how much of a “fake” the
“Qrifflu charge” was, as claimed by
the Constitution, is shown by the
fact that he allowed his Atlanta

$250 to avoid a prosecution of the
charge.
J. F. Leftwich, an Atlanta law.
yer, and Secretary Lickliter, of the
Atlanta Y. M. C. A., were down here
yesterday to settle the matter with
R. H. Drake. They tried to get their
friend an extension of time in order
that he might work for the Consti¬
tution and the Journal and get the
money to pay up, but Mr. Drake
thought that he had waited long
enough. So they scraped up the
money and paid it over to Mr.
Drake, who will give it to the Griffin
Y. M. C. A. after deducting expenses
of collection.
Orth’s representatives wanted to
know when they left whether theie
would be any danger of farther
legal actions, and Mr. Drake told
them he thought not, as he had
mislaid the forged check and had
also found that the warrant was
defective.

Difficulty Averted.
Atlanta, Sopt. 22. —In tho course of
debate in the house of representatives
here between' Dr. Baldwin of Randolph
and Mr. Fleming of Richmond, the
former’s ire became aroused aud he
rushed excitedly over to the aisle where
Mr. Fleming was standing and putting
his hand in his pockets as if to draw a
weapon, said:
"By G—d, if he means to insult me I
will whip the d--d scoundrel. ”
Mr. Fleming stood perfectly calm,
and some of the members interfered and
averted a difficulty.
By this time there was considerable
excitement, and the speaker called to
the messenger to preserve order. Dr.
Baldwin was made te realize hi* con¬
duct and he returned to his seat. Mr.
Fleming proceeded with his argument
as calmly as though no unpleasantness
occurred.
What came very near being a serious
difficulty was averted, and in the con¬
tinuance of his speech Mr. Fleming
stat ed that he had no apology to offer.
He had not insulted any one, and there¬
fore had nothing to retract. He had
made no personal remarks about any¬
body.
Dr. Baldwin arose to a question of
personal privilege and said:
"I wish to apologize to this house—I
mean the house—for my hasty words
and indiscreet action a few minutes
ago.
" I did not think that my words were
so harsh as they were, and I regret, on
the bguse’s account and on my own,
that I used them; further than that I
have no apology to offer. ”

to the full extent of the deficit.

HEAVY BANK ROBBERY.
Over a Million 1* Stolen from the Lon¬
don and Westminster Hank.
London, Sept. 22. -Another heavy
bank robbery is reported, but as every
effort is being made to suppress the
facts, no authoritative story can be,
told. 80 far as known, however, it is
this; A large parcel of bills, remitted
from country banks, has lieen stolen
from the London and tho Westminster
bank, limited, which is an important
institution, having fifteen or more
branches in this city. The amount lost
is variously st ated fr om $750,000 to $1,-
150,000. The matter lias become public
through notes to the banks and police
centers of the country, and through the
espionage tho over departing vessels at all
ports of the United Kingdom.
The theory of the poliw ia that no at¬
tempt Great will be made to xi e the monev in
abroad, Britain, but that it will be tuken
where most likely to the continent,
a great deal of English ihoney
circulates, The actual method of the
robbery is, to the public, entirely con¬
jectural, bnt the circumstances recall
the clever robbery last February of a
clerk of the London branch of the Bank
of Scotland, as he stood at a public
counter of the National Provincial bank.
The thieves obtai ned $ 60.000 by that
haul, and nothing has ever bean heard
of them or the money. Unite recently
it was reported that the Bank of Eng¬
land had lioen robbed of £250,000, but
that statement was denied by the offi¬
cers of the bank. ’__

New York, Sept. 22.—The announce¬
ment of the assignment and suspension
of S. V. White & Co., of New York and
Chicago, has been made on the stock
exchange. r—
White says the failure was .due to
long speculation in corn and not in
stocks. The liabilities of the firm are
very large, but only a few hundred
than* of stock are outstanding on con¬
tract.
The climax of the catastrophe has
been approaching culmination for the
last two weeks. The volume of busi¬
ness in railroad stocks during the last
three days has diverted to some extent
attention from speculation and invest¬
ments iu breadstuff*. It is stated that
the failure will affect Chicago princi¬
pally. The price of corn on the produce
exchange fell 1$ eents at the new* of
the failure. The liabilities are very
large, but Mr. Bteadman says he can
give no estimate of the amount aa yet.
