THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 3. 1893. SATURDAY, JUNE 3,1893. Counterfeit souvenir half-dollars are already in the market in Chicago. Governor Flower has vetoed 121 bills passed by the New York legis lature. It is the opinion of railroad man agers that the telephone is aeriously affecting railway travel, as it is other methods of intercommunication. This is not to be wondered at, since it has been discovered that it is possi ble for a board of directors, part of whom live in Philadelphia, part in Boston, and a part in New York, to hold their directory meeting by tele phone. and the courts have decided that such meetings are perfectly legal.

The Savannah News revives a sug gestion that has been made before, that if lynchings cannot be stopped they should be legalized. Maybe such a thing would stop the lynching. What a commentary it is on the frauds of the Pension bureau when the iniquitous burdens imposed hv Baum can be lopped off 815,000,000 at a whack. A reward of 8200 is offered for the arrest of Hill the Atlanta forger of 820,000 of paper. This would not seem to indicate that he is badly wanted. With rare exceptions the fortunes acquired by the father is squandered by the son, and with this great truth staring him in the face the average editor goes on piling up the filthy lucre until the last day. Mr. Cleveland: We want you to stand squarely on the democratic platform, but please don’t “stomp” down on it too hard, and be careful to expectorate in the expectoration box or spit out of the window. The Rockefellers and Armours continue to bestow their princely gifts upon the educational institu tions of Chicago. They are putting their money where it will do the most good. Massachusetts has 105 women to every 100 men. It requires no such majority as that to control the men down this way. One pretty woman can easily manage a dozen men in this section. If lynching for outrages upon de fenceless women is to be stopped, it should be done very secretly. The would be rapists should never know it. The fear of speedy and terrible death is the only thing that restrains hundred of brutes to-dav. The New York World estimates that since Jan. 1st Wall street spec ulators have lost as much as five hundred million of dollars by shrink age in value of stocks and such other sectrities as are there dealt in.—Ex. —They must have had it or they couldn’t have lost it.

A good deal of excitement prevailed at the result of the election. To-day, how ever, matters have quieted down. The Duponters were not satisfied and threatened a contest and employ ed Col. Hammond, of Thoraasville, to meet them here. It seems that Col. Hammond, after hearing all the bearings has decided that there is no grounds for contest.

They Hast Keep Their Vlngmn Oat ot the Pie While Rrepreeeutlns the Courts of the , Country In an Official Capacity. Gen. J. B. Weaver proposes to es tablish an “independentscboolot po litical science” at Des Moines, la., with seven professors, on the follow ing subjects. “Land and public utilities and inventions, finance, transportation, suffrage, applied Christianity and public debates.” A prominent bnsiness man of Bal timore was asked the other day, what, in his estimation, would most materially aid in the city’s progress. “Twenty first-class funerals.” It is rather remarkable that such similari ty of conditions exists in a great many other cities besides Baltimore. At least, we have heard of such. We are indebted to the Atlanta Constitution for a lithographic pic ture of some of the leading journal ists of the country. Among the pic tures are those ot Clark Howell, Chas. A. Dana of the Snn, and some others of onr old acquaintances. The picture is a very fine one and the Constitution will please accept our thanks. We’ll send them a life size portrait of our junior some of these bright days and trade ont the differ ence in advertising. the nuisances the dumping grounds were, and when the fertilizer works were located in the same vicinity later the protest became stronger. The grand jury had, in a former re port, declared the dumping grounds a nuisance and recommended its abate ment, but no steps were taken. Mean while, complaints grew louder; and finally, the works of the fertilizer com pany were reduced to ashes. Next, came the fire which destroyed the city stables, and cremated the live stock. The city detectives worked quietly and patiently on the case, aud from the evidence they obtained secured indict ments against Bill Akridge, Jim Ak- ridge, Tom Elliott, Adolphus Durant and Will Ogden, and each are indicted for two cases of arson. The first bill is for the burning of the city’s dumping ground property; and the second for the destruction by fire of the buildings of the Atlanta Fer tilizer and Glue company. The detectives refuse to tell what evi dence they have against the five men. but say that it is enough to satisfy any twelve jurors of their guilt. When these fires occurred, many of the citizens who reside in the vicinitv were anxious to have the matter fer- retted out and the guilty parties brought to justice; for, they, with others, felt that it was the work of incendiaries and it was done because of the nuisance the place created, and naturally every one who was innocent wanted to be ex onerated before the public. Some of them wfnt so far as to take up a sub scription and offer an additional reward to that offered by the city, for the ar rest of the guilty parties, with evidence to convict. AT THEIR DESTINATION. Atlanta, May 29.—The hearing of the Central railroad cases has been con cluded before Supreme Court Justice Jackson and the court has set June 26th as the day and Savannah the place to settle the question and render a decis ion. The most sensational incident of the proceedings was Justice Jackson’s state ment as to the duties of a receiver. In the plainest language he gave notice that the court would most positively not sanction the help of any receiver or officer of the court to farther the schemes of any reorganization commit tee. The justice’s statement admits of no doubt as to construction. If it has any qualities, they are lucidity and plainness of meaning. in view of Justice Jackson’s remarks. Receiver Comer,if, as has been charged, is furthering the plans of the reorgani zation committee, he most at once cease it. To the great majority of those hear ing the statement it was evident that he intended it as a qualified it as a qual ified rebuke to Receiver Comer, or at least a warning to him. The status of the case which will be heard in Savannah is about-as follows ; The question of the validity of the endorsements or gnarantys made by tbe Central on the bonds of its auxiliary roads will be determined. The question of a final decree in the suit of the Farmers Loan and Trust company for the foreclosure of the tri partite mortgages will also probably be passed on, and it would seem that un less some arrangement is made either by the receiver or by some of the other parties at interest by which the tripar tite bonds and the floating debt can be carried upon favorable terms, that a doerte of sale will be rendered. Plica—lag thi Reorganization Plan. Baltimore, May 29.—The chief sub ject of discussion in banking circles is .the Richmond Terminal reorganization plan, as announced by Drexel, Morgan & Co. The general feeling among bank ers and brokers is dissatisfaction with the plan. Oue hanker said: “It looks as if tbe attempt is being made to get rid of all properties guaranteed by tbe Richmond and Danville system that have not shown a surplus over operat ing expenses and fixed chargee. This is unjust, as many of these guaranteed roads open up new territory which has not yet folly developed." Th« Remains of Jefferson Davis Landed In Richmond. Richmond, Jane 1.—At 3.05 a. m. the funeral train bearing the remains of ex-President Davis drew up at the de pot in this city. Thousands of men, women and children, some of whom had waited for hoars, greeted its arri Val, besides a military escort. The march from the station to the capitol was very impressive, the wail ing notes of the dead march on the fife ana the dram and the slow, steady, regular tramp of veterans marching in fours behind the bier, in the grey dawn between the ranks of spectators on either side of the street with bared heads wss exceedingly wierd and sol emn. Upon reaching the capitol building, the military opened ranks at present arms, while the veterans marched through with heads uncovered until the doors of the building were reached, when a halt was made and the casket was borne to the door of the senate chamber in the rotunda of the building and plaoed in position* under guard of Lee camp. From day light until 9 o’clock, hun dreds of strangers and city peoplepassed through the capitol and viewed the casket which was almost enveloped in floral tributes of various designs from the north as well as from the south.

Atlanta, June 1.—Nearly two weeks ago it was authoritatively announced that the Gate City bank building had been sold to the Venable brothers and that, within a few days, the money, amounting to upwards "of $180,000, would be paid over and the paying off of the depositors wonld begin. Somehow, within the past .few days, the impression has gotten abroad that the sale of the building has been de clared off. Bat such is not the case. Bank Examiner Stone was asked abont the status and said: “It is true that the sale of the build ings has not been folly consummated. That is to say, the money has not yet been received. Bnt it is also true that the tale has hot been declared off. I am not in position to say just why the ■ale has not been folly consummated— but think that some legal technicality is blocking the wav. Ttiere is'every reason to believe, however, that this will cans# only a brief delay, and that everything will in a short time be satis factorily arranged." - Harder of aa EnUre Family.
