Atlanta, October 27.—A mill
tary scandal, which has bson smonl
dering here for several day#, comes
out officially to-night.
Four member* of ths Gate City
Guards, the company that won the
Orst money In the Interstate drill
here Friday, are to be aonrflmar
tialled on the charge of conduct un
becoming officers and gentlemen
They have already, by order of
Adjutant-General Kell, been sus
pended from duty* The four men
Capt. A. C. Sneed; Orst lie#
tenant Charles M. Roberts, aud
Privates B. H. Miles aod J. H
Spillman.
The facta briefly told are these:
One- of the judges, Lieut McDon
ald, stationed at Auburn, Alabama,
reported to Lieut. Colonel Calhoun
of Sneed'a battalllOB, that Captain
Sneed and these other three men
had attempted to bribe the men
printing the official programme to
furnish them a copy of it.
The printing was dose at Auburn,
and conclusive evidence that * all
four were concered In the attempt
was furbished. Adjutant General
Kell promptly Instructed. Colonel
Calhoun to suspend tbt-fhsr men
from doty. Tlile order pas sus
pended until after the drill, In
order to give the company a fair
chance. *
It appears the men fslled to ob
tain a copy of the programme. At
any rate the programme was
changed entirely by the jndges, to
be oerkffn the Gourds went Into.the
drill with no undue advantage
The victory was won fairly by- the
Guards. After ths drill* was. ovor
the order, suspending the men from
duty, was carried out. Official
oharges and, specifications were
preferred to-night, ordering the
court martial.
A strong effort is being made to
bush up the affair, but Col. Cal
houn states positively to-night that
thlsoaunot he done. Tbeaffklrfs
the more Important because the
Guards won the first prise, the
judges all agree, through the excel
ienco of Bneed aa^aptalo
None but these four m*n are be
lieved to have been concerned in
the affair. Sneod was at one time
captain of the Atlanta Rifles, and
most of tbs betting done bere was
that the Rifles would beat the
Guards, or vice versa, Sneed, more

Atlanta, Get. 2f.—Sheriff M. L.
Cooper, of Houston county, ths man
that will break Woolfolk's neck
Wednesday, telgraphsd the Gov-,
ernor to-day that he feared trou
ble on the day of the execu
tion at Perry, and asked that the
Southern Cadets, of Macon, be
ordered out to aaslst the Perry
Rifles on that oocaslon.
The Governor didn't think this
necessary, and so telsgraphod tbo
sheriff. A curious fact about this
case, in view of general Interest It
baa excited, Is that no petition of
any sort has ever been made for
executive cUmenoy.
It Is rumored here that Woolfolk
will make an attempt to get a
respite of sentence by turning
Btate's evidence.

THE DIRT BROKEN.
| It Is an asaured fact.
Yesterday morning dirt was brok
en ou the foundation of the new
two-story building of the Amerleus
BOcial Athletic Club.
It .will be located on Jackson
street Just below A. J. Buchanan's
residence. It will have aa elegant
basement, a ground floor and a
dancing hall above, and when com
pleted will be one of the most con
veniently arranged and hatfflsomtfit
buildings In tbeeity.
The erection of this building
ihows ths pluck and energy of our
oung men. They have contracted
’or all of the material, which la be
Ing placed on the ground as fast as
posslbls. Mr. Knight, who cams
to the city a short time since to su
perintend the erection of the new
hotel, lias been secured to gtve ths
!work bis personal supervision.
The Club has decided not to give
but ths erection of the building to a
j contractor, but to go ahead and do
the work themselves by hired me
chanics and laborers.
Those who havp been doubting
that the building would be erected
can now hush thslr kicking and
•lend a helping hand to make it a
success.

Atlanta, 6ct 27.—Tbs political

they turn out to be forgsrlse.'-
They must have a serious efl*ect
on the result of the election for con-
gran on tba 4th, and Livingston
can poselbly be beaten.
It «*ll be notloed In tb* circular
that the burdeqot proof reeta upon

Republican crowd.
They claim that L. F. Livingston
wrote certain lettere. They print
alleged copies of these lettere; ad
mlttlng that th* originals are loet.
In other words, John Livingston
and Mathew B. Quay elate that'
F. Livingston has dons so-and-so.
Their statement Is unsupported by
any evidence yet disclosed.
But th* letter* are shrewdly pat;
shrewdly forged, It forged at all.
They must have some effect,
Ofcoursotho publication of the
circular Is the talk of the town to
day; developments are largely
awaited.
There Is In Atlanta a letter writ
ten by John Livingston that goes
far towards reputlog bis own affi
davit. In it be says, In snbstanee,
that ha "baa bad a long correspon
dence with L. F. Livingston In re
gard to the Lodge bill, and what
ever he may have • thought of I*
once, he (John Livingston) 4a now
eonvlnoed that tb* bill la a wrong,
and that ha will not rapport It,”
That Is th* subsUno* of hie let-

the data of the alleged letter* from
JL. F. Livingston ■ I do not know,

THE RIFLES AND THE GUARDS.
Another match I* being Brnnged
between tb* Rifles .and Guards, of
Atlanta.
There Ie quit* a lot of foaling over
tba result of tb* drill of last Friday,
la which the Guards won first
prise, tb* Blflea coming third.
Th* Rifles wen confident of beat
log, and tba judges an quoted as
saying that tba Rifles lost the drill
through carelessness.
A great deal of money changed
bands on tbs result, and donbls aa
ntuoh more would go up on another
drill between tb* two companies.
Tb* matter will probably take
some definite direction to-morrow.
