SPEECH BY GOV. MOUNT

lieittory Magn ficent Shafts Have
Been Erected.
Chattanooga, Sept. 20.—Front 6,000
to 8 : U0 people, 3,000 of whom were vet-
t-r.:ns from Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois,
attended the dedication of the Iudiaua
monuments and markers at Cliicka-
inauga park today. The exercises be
gan at 10 o’clock and were all conducted
from a platform erected at the site of
ti;e Wilder brigade monument, one of
the most beautiiul portions of the mili
tary park.
The day was beautiful, bright and
clear By the ceremonies of today the
state of Indiana turned over to the fed
eral government 113 markers and monu
ments, costing in the neighborhood of
§80,000.
Judge D. B McConnell, president of
the liidiaua-Ohickamuuga park commis
sion, presided at the dedicatory exer
cises of the monuments of that-state
and introduced Governor Mount. The
governor, in behaif of the state, compli
mented the commission upon its faith
ful services to the state, in his speech
Governor Mount said in part:
‘T esteem it a signal honor to stand
upon the very spot where I fought 35
years ago a.s a common soldier, and
speak in memory of the brave men of a
great state. Today the surviving he
roes of mortal combat clasp hands in
fraternal union across the once bloody
chasm. Combatants then, comrades to
day.
"Indiana furnished two divisions and
11 brigade commauders in the battle of
Chickamauga. Twenty-nine regiments
of infantry were engaged in the battle,
also three regiments of cavalry and
eight batteries of artillery, making a
total of 40 Indiana organizations which
took part in t"he memorable conflict.
The first field officer killed in this battle
was Colonel W. B. Carroll of the Tenth
Indiana. The only confederate battery
captured at Chickamauga was by the
Ninth Indiana. The last volley fired
from Snodgrass hill was by the Ninth
Indiana.
"The Indiana soldiers were the first
engaged in this terrible conflict aud the
last to retire. Indiana had more men
actually engaged in the battle of Chick
amauga aud sustained a greater loss in
killed and wounded than the United
Stares lost on land and sea in defeating
the Spanish armies and in destroying
their fleets.
"Truly honored by the prowess of
Geueral Thomas lies this field, glorious
to union valor. ”
General H. V. Boynton, president of
the Chickamauga-Chattanooga park
commission, received the monuments
and markers on behalf of the secretary
of war. An address was also delivered
by General Janies R. Carnahan, a mem
ber of the Iudiaua park commission.
Immediately following the dedication
of the Iudiaua monuments, the Wilder
brigade monument was dedicated. Ad
dresses were delivered by Major James
A. Connolly of Springfield, Ills.; Gen
eral Johu T. Wilder, General H. V.
Bovntou, Captain William Rnle, mayor
of Knoxville. Tenn.; Colonel Tomlinson
Fort, an ex confederate officer; General
Smith D. Atkins of Illinois, Governor
Mount of Indiana and Air. Benjamin of
Terre Haute, lud.
The Wilder brigade monument is
built of Chickamauga limestone. It
stands 105 feet tall from base to top of
flagstaff, the base is 19 feet square and
the main cylindrical shaft 16 feet in di
ameter. It is provided inside with a
spiral stairway reaching to the observa
tory. Its cost was about §18,000. The
monument is medieval in character and
the most massive and imposing in the
National Military park.

That rheumatism in its worst
form can be cured by proper treat
ment is shown by this interview
with MatTanner, of 231 Hamilton
St., Albany, N. Y. He said: “I
was taken with rheumatism that
began in my hips and spread
throughout my body. For^fcro
years and a half I was confined to
my bed. I employed nine of the
best physicians of Albany, and
two specialistsTrom New York,
but all declared my case hopeless.
My niece recommended Dr. Will
iams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
The use of several boxes enabled
me to leave my bed and go about
with crutches. Finally I aban
doned the crutches, and am now
as well as ever. No praise of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People is too strong for my case.
Mat Tanner. ’ ’
Sworn to and subscribed before
me this 17th day of Sept., 1898.
Neile F. Towner, Notary Public.

ments necessary to give new life and rich

nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neural
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, .the
after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions, and all
forms of weakness either in male or female.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
Charlestonians Go to Wilmington and
See Their Mistake.
Charleston, SeDt. 20 —Charges have
frequently been made of late that
Charleston was being discriminated
against by the Atlantic Coast Line rail
road in favor of Wilmington and Vir
ginia ports. A special committee from
i Charleston’s commercial bodies has just
! returned from the cities up the coast
and makes reports which change the
situation
The terminal facilities in Wilming
ton, the committee says, offer superior
advantages tor the handling of cotton
an4, ot ^ er freights Compresses deliver
the cotton directly from the press into
the hold of the ship aud the railroad de
livers the undressed bale at the door of
the compress, making handling of the
cotton very cheap at that port.
While the compresses in Charleston
are on tne water front, the only road
that ransfiown to them is an independ
ent one with no interior connections, so
its charges are extra, and there is be
sides much drayiug done.
Charleston business men are consid
ering forming a compress company and
building on land which van be reached
by the railroads entering the city. Pres
ident Walters of the Coast Line is un
derstood as favoring and encouraging
this action.

The announcement that Dreyfus was j
to be pardoned had already been dis-

STATE OF GEORGIA LOSES.
Judge Hurt Renders u Decision In tile
Oen(ral Suit.. •
Eatonton, Ga., Sept. 19.—Judge Johu
C. Hart has decided the Eatonton rail
road case, holding that the Central did
not violate the state constitution in bay
ing the Middle Georgia aud Atlantic.
It will be remembered that on a peti
tion from citizens of Eatonton, Gov
ernor Candler directed Attorney Gen
eral Terreil to begin proceedings against
the Central. It the constitution had
been violated, the purchase would be
set aside, and a receiver would be ap
pointed for the Middle Georgia aud At
lantic.
The case was argued ou Monday and
Tuesday of last week, before Judge
Hart in the supreme court at the capitol.
It was asserted by the petitioners that
since the Central acquired the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic the merchants of
Eatonton aud other points along the
road were prevented from buying in At
lanta and Augusta, because the rates
discriminated in favor of Savannah.
The defense submitted evidence to
show that both passenger and freight
rates had been greatly reduced since the
purchase, and the road has been changed
from a run-down and dangerous line to
a well constructed aud safe property.
BUTLER FOR EMIGRATION.
He Favors Sending Negroes to South
or Central Ain-rica.
Greenville, S. C., Sept. 19.—Gen
eral M. C. Butler has written a very in
teresting letter on the race question, in
which he takes the position that the
government should provide a home in
Central or South America for tho negro
race.
Th9 letter is addressed to a New
Yorker who recently asked General
Butler some questions as to the race sit
uation and conditions in the south.
In speaking of the proposed emigra
tion of the negro, General Butler says,
in part:
‘•To my mind it behooves the govern
ment of the United Srates to carry out
the proposition of President Lincoln,
and provide a home in Central or South
America, or elsewhere where the negro
may b9 induced to emigrate and set up
for himself. It would be infinitely bet
ter for the negro, who can never reach
the full measure of American manhood
and citizenship with his environments
of race prejudice and ostracism in this
country.”
ROBBER GIVES HIMSELF UP-
Charles Summers Returns to' Com
plete His Sentence.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 16.—Charles O.
Summers, the noted express robber, who
relieved the Southern Express company
at Meridian of $5,000 and afterwards es
caped from the Mississippi prison, after
serving one year of a 5-year sentence,
has returned to the penitentiary and
given himself up to complete his sen
tence.
Summers was a Pinkerton detective
at the time of the Meridian robbery,
and used his position as a means of get
ting the confidence of the express offi
cials. After a long chase he was finally
captured in San Francisco and had been
inside the walls scarcely three months
when he escaped, but was shortly after
wards recaptured. In the summer of
1892 he again escaped, this time taking
one of the guards with him.
Summers gives as reason for his sur
render that he lived continually in fear
of being captured, and preferred to set
tle his account with the law and relieve
his apprehension. Since his escape he
has traveled over a good portion of the
civilized globe, having only recently re
turned from the Klondike.

Fight Between tho Telegraph and
Railway Companies.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 18.—Circuit
Judge Townsend has filed a written
opinion in the case of the South Caro
lina aud Georgia, now the Southern
railway, against the American Tele
phone aud Telegraph company, which
involves the-question of rights of way
along the line of the railroad.
Judge Townsend decides that the
temporary restraining order heretofore
issued against the telephone company
be continued until the bearing of the
case upon its merits at the approaching
term of the Orangeburg circuit court.
The telephone company had filed its
bill in equity to acquire the necessary
rights of way along the line of the old
South Carolina and Georgia line. The
plaintiff brought the proceedings under
a special act passed at the last session of
the general assembly.
Under the code the defendant has 20
days to answer the complaint. Before
this time had expired the railroad
brought a proceeding attacking the con
stitutionality of the act and prayed for
an injunction. Judge Townsend granted
a temporary restraining order and issued
a rule against the telephone company
to show cause why it shonid not be
made permanent.
The decision of Judge Townsend now
con tinnes this injunction against the tel
ephone company until the case is heard
on its merits.
