THE NATIONAL CITY BESEIGED
By Cranks Who Writs Threatening Epis
ties to the Big Men--They Are
Watched.
Washington, Dec. 19.—* Uneasy lies
the head that wears a crown,” is an old
maxim, but it is as applicable to-day in
America us when the murder of a hun
dred kings wrought it into an aphorism
in olden days.
The army of cranks seem for the pres
ent to have forgotten that the senate
exists, and the venom of their spleen is
vent] on the less harmless house. The
explosion of the bombin the Chamber
of Deputies, in Paris, bas made the
cranks anxious to keep abreast with the
tide on this side of the water.
Over thirty letters have been received
by various members of the house, wvarn
ing them that before long bombs will be
thrown from the galleries of the capitol.
The letters were notin the nature of a
threat, but notes of warning. Judging
from the tenor of the letters it would
seem that even an anarchist can feel the
dint >f human pity, for the writers ad
vise certain members of the lower house
to rewnain from the capitol, as the writer
wisl.es to ihrow a bomb and doesn’t
care to injure the special congressman to
whom he may be writing. In spite of
the carelessness with whith these iet ers
are supposed to be treated, yet they are
shown to the doorkeeper and sergeant-at
arms. Lately an extra force has been
place 1 about the doms of the capitol and
no one is allowed to enter with bundles,
or packages of any kind, Itis not gen
erally known, but there are several
characters seldom missing from the ses
sion, who have sworn to kill varicus
members if cer ain bills are not passed.
They are known, and are always kept
under strict surveillance. It is enough
to frighten a man of ordinary nerve to
get at times a glimpse of the long rows
of faces in the galleries, for they look
like a huge army of idiots peopling the
horizon of a fantastic dream. |

ATLANTA’S LATEST.
A New Sensation Sprung. The Late Major
Charles Arnold a Defaulter and
Forger.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—A sensa.icn in
Atlanta to-day was sprung by finding
that Major Charles Arnoid, -vho died af
ter four day’s illness, two weeks ago, is
a d >faulterand forger.
Major Arnold moved here several
years ago from New York, and soon won
the confidence «f business men. He was
treasurer of St. Phillips Episcopal
church, Piedmont Exposition company,
Mid-Winter Carnival company, and the
Georgia Fedge campany. The church
,loses about $lOO, the Mid Winter Carn
vas company $5,000, and the Hedge com
pany $2,000. The Joss of the Piedmont
Exposition company has not yet been
ascertained.
He also got a number of business
men toindorse small notes for him,
raised them and discounted them in the
banks bere. Every boay had great con
fidence in him, and susvected nothing
wreng.
Investigation may lead to larger de
ficiencies. It is now thought t'at Major
Arnold feigned sickness and suicided, as
no one thought he was seriously sick
when he suddenl¥died.
He had one of the largest funerais
ever atended in Atlanta.
The latest developments are that Ar
