Albany, Dec. 21.-—Alter • one of tlio the ope:
most exciting' meetings on record, th'
common council ha* impeached its pr.-s
idcat, Charles II. Anaategc, for m.i!
feasance in ofiice. The vote was 11 to 5. )
Last fcpring President Annatage, as j
tho leader of the Hill Democrats in the *
council, tried to wrest its control from j
tho regular county organization—the j
Herrick-Clevela:i> 1 Democrats. Alder- j
man Philip &ns-.. a Hill Democrat from |
the fifth war.!, di«l oil Jan. 1, 1S83. The |
county organization wanted Timothy .f. I
Sullivan to aucceel Kuss, mid tho Hill
men wanted Arthur Grant.
Tho board comprised nine Ilerrick
Democrats, four 11:11 Democrats, four
Republicans and one Democrat who was
claimed by l.oth tactions. During the
several meetings tho county Democrats
rej>eatedly charged President A mintage
witli refusing to r-*cognizn them on the
lloor, nnd at one meeting lie declared a
motion to adjourn carried when a count
taken immediately a: ter wards showed it
was lost. For this act charges were pre
ferred against him hv Alderman Brown,
a Herrick Democrat. Ho was tried and
a report recommending his impeachment
was prepared, but boforo it cor. Id bo sub
mitted tiio aldermen woro served witli
an injunction restraining them from act
ing. The case was fought through the
courts to the general term, which about
a fortnight ago decided against Araia-
tage.
When the council met the space out
side the rail was crowded with friends
of President Anuatage, who persisted in
making a demonstration. In explaining
his voto, Pr *»ident Annatage said: “lie
laughs long and best who laughs
last.’* mid tho crowd beyond tho rail
shouted: “Three cheers for Annatage!’*
When tfte marshal started to eject tho
disturbers, Jerry Hayes, tho llill leader
in tho tenth ward, jumped to Ills feet
inside the rail, nnd swinging liis hat
aliovo liis head, shouted: “Three cheers
/or Charles II. Annatage, uncomipiol
ny city or federal patronage, the next
mayor of Albany.” The marshal ejected
him from the chamber, but he stoo l in
tho hall and continued to shout nnd
cheer for Armatago
Aldcnnan-at-Large Joseph Firiier, a
Herrick man. was elect** 1 to succeed
Annatage. la tho caucus of the organ
ization Democrats liis choice was unani

machine which will sup

long list of scientific inventions one o?
the most useful machines.
It is an electrical recorder for regis-

Tho present mode of re-
a slip of paper,
nachine is simpler, marking
its s ignals on a revolving plate in dots
and dashes, somewhat similar to the
Morse alphabet. It keeps a record of
tho claims and files them away for fu
ture reference. Tho machine is very
simple in its mechanism and can be used
for a cost much less than tho present
mode of receiving calls. Mr. Adkins
has applied for a patent and will as
soon as it arrives, places his invention
on the market.

A Startling Berriatloa of tho Double Deal- ;

Hid Shortage With the Church to Which
He Belonged.
Atlanta, Dec. 21.—After G2 years of
apparent upright, honest living, and oc
cupying positions of trust in both relig
ious and secular institutions, and, during
all his business career, without a whis
per of doubt as to his integrity, Charles
Arnold, a few days ago, died and was
laid to rc*t; and Atlanta mourned tho
lots of an Honored and esteemed citizen.
The newspapers printed the news of
iiis death, and glowiug accounts of-liis
circumspect, Christian life were giver..
Bat scarcely had tho sod settled upon
the casket that held his remains when
St. Philips Episcopal church of this city,
through its proper officers, discovered
that there was a discrepancy in the ac
counts of their treasurer, and that official
was the late Charles Arnold, deceased.
'Investigation of his assets followed,
and about enough cash was found in his
safe to square the shortage and the mat
ter was about to pass unnoticed when,
in examination of his accounts with the
Georgia Hedge company by an expert
who li?ul been put to work on the books
revealed a startling state of affairs. Mr.
Arnold was tho secretary and treasurer
of the concern. The report of the ex
pert showed that checks had been raised;
bills tampered with after approval by
the president, and tho books badly muti
lated.
The big ledger of the Georgia >.Hedge
company was found to be in very bad
shape, with a sharp knife, many loaves
had been cut out and were missing.
What they contained can only bo con
jectured. Many erasures were also dis
covered on tho book. It was found that
Mr. Arnold had failed to post into the
ledger a large number of items chargea-
blo to himself. In all a shortage of
$1,011 was shown by the books. Exact
ly $500 of this was earned by raised
checks. The bank account, as kept by
Major Arnold on the ledger, showed a
balance in favor of the Hedgo company
of 522. Tlio bank book kept by the
bank showed the balance to be only $22.
The discovery of this shortage causes
the inquiry to be made, are the books of
the other institutions in which he held
positions of responsibility and trust laden
with tho same story of false bookkeep
ing? The exposition books, of which h<
had full charge, have not yet been ex
amined. President Kings berry, of the
Exposition company, is out of the city,
and until he comes back tho books will
not be examined.
Mr. Arnold held a position of trust
with the Piedmont Driving clnb, and an

Many instances of fraudulent check
raising were reported during the day.
One turned up in the hands of a gentle
man who had every trust and confidence
in Mr. Arnold. This gentleman was
Mr. Joseph Kingsbeny. Immediately
after he heard of the frauds discovered
in the books of the Hedge company he
searched through his checks, several of
which had passed through the hands of
Major Arnold. He had signed a check
in Major Arnold’s favor for $75.
In looking through hia checks Mr.
Kingsberry found this check in a much
different shape from what it was when
he signed it. The check was originally
written in Major Arnold’s handwriting
and called for $75. By adding tho two
words “two hundred” in front of the $75
the value of the check was increased al
most fourfold. It had entirely escaped
Major Kicgsberry’s notice until his at-
• tention was called to it by the discov-
i erics in tho Hedge company’s accounts,
j It is also charged that Major Arnold
I had used Captain James R. Wylio’
