Atlanta, Dec. 17.—(Special.)—Chories

phlu, lumber swindlers captured by the
Atlanta police, wore oommltiod to Jail
by United Stntea Commlmlonar Broyles
in ili-fnilt n( xe.-ioo b'iii.1 in.h -isi.iy.
Tho wnrrnntH for tho men were sworn
out by Postofllce Inspector Holden of
Philadelphia, who came here to prose
cute Well* and Rowe. The men will
be taken t) Philadelphia to stand trial.
The >750 reward offered for the swind
lers is a bone ot contention that adds
complication to the case. Tho local de
tectives fought against surrendering
the men today unless the reward was
paid, hilt Jinally gave In. The toward
may not go to the detectives after all.
PhDailelpbla ofllcers have laid claim
to it, on the ground that they had the
men located and furnished the infor
mation upon which they were arrest
ed. Porter Woodson, a well-known
young luuk clerk, has also entered a

THE WEDDING IS OFF.
Cards Were Issued but There Is to Be
No Wedding.
lAtlinta, Dec. .17.—(Special.)—The
marriage of Mr. Luctus I,. McClesky
and Miss Susie Harwood, which was to
have ’been solemnized tomorrow even
ing. is a sensation that will not rest.
Mr. 'McC.csky Is well known In so
ciety and business circles all over tho
state os one of the officials of the South
ern Railway Company, while Miss Har
wood, who 4s the daughter of Mrs. I.
D. Harwood, Js also of wide acquain
tance and popular In Uio best circles of
society.
Tho marriage, which, ns stated, was
to have been solemnized tomorrow, was
tooklug forward to ns a great .event-.
All arrangements bud been made. The
cards were out und some of the pres
ents had been received. Consequently
society wan astounded when several
days ago Miss Harwood announced 111
a pubic notice the Indefinite postpone
ment of the 'wedding, which was ac
cepted as a breaking of the engage
ment entirely. Tho reason assigned
was Moons, though there was no iilck-
ncsM In either family.
There was a great many stories
afloat «b to |be real cause, but no one
of Mies* wnn accepted, One of these
stories, which it is ■ understood origi
nated with a friend of the Harwood
fam tty. was that Mr. McCiesky's mind
was affected. Nobody put credit fn
this, however, as the gentleman tins
ever been highly efficient In his respon
sible office.
U Is understood that Mr. McClesky re
quested a temporary postponement for
reasons that he did not give, and that
upon this the rupture occurred. Tho
cause assigned for this request is that
Mra. Howard bad lost a great deal of
money. This, however, Mr. Howard con
tradicts, although refusing to make nny
statement for publication, and Mr.-Me-
Clesky'a friends as well deny that he
waa controlled by mercenary motives.
Mr. McCleaky lias gone out of town for
a fotv days.
Mrs. Howard Is a vory wealthy widow.
Sovcrsl years ago she received some >»•).-
M ti Insur.i pet’ ui«m tho Ilfs of her hits-
band, who wns killed by his horse while
driving 111 Klorlds. Tho nisi. Is a milt'd
one. It la reported that Mrs. Howard's
ngent lately mode many bad Investments,
causing bor to lose heavily, but, an sated,
she V'lllll.idl'd!! till" .'dory.
On acvtiunt of the dollcnto nature of
the case It has not been handled by tho
press until today, when the reports given
are published.

Murder of Leigh.
Atlanta, Dec. 17.—(Special.)—A pecu
liar development whs added to the
Leigh murder case today. Two weeks

Sunday night ibeins Just a month
since the denith of Dr; Bass, a beauti
ful memorial service waa held in tho
study hall at Wesleyan college.* The
room waa teatefully decorated* with ev-
evergreens, and on the platform from
which he he had"so often spoken words
of comfort and he^>, waa (placed his
portrait, draped In black. Those lipe
are cold in dearth now, but they will
never cease *to speak to the thousands
whose privilege it has been to listen” to
their ndble utterances In the days gone
by.
Dr. Bass was especlailly gifted in
prayer; he always asked for just the
things you need, and asked for them in
a way to make you feel That the “ef
fectual, fervent prayer of the Right
eous availeth much.’*

TESLA’S GREAT’ INVENTION.
The Oscillator Which is Exported to
Displace Engines in Ocean Ships.
Tesla’s (Hate*# invotntfon, the “osoiila*
tor,” is one of tbe .most remarkable ap
pliances of itlie age. It is dosortbed by
tho Boston Transcript, as being tho core
of a steam engine and the core of a dy
namo combined, making tt harmonious
medhtinical adjustment This combina
tion, says an enthusiastic admiror, <•-»n-
stitiites a machine which lias in It the
potentiality of reducing to the rank ol
old boll metal half the machinery at
present moving on the face of ( the
globe. Id may come to do tho entire
work of the engines of an ocean steam
ship within a small .part of the space
they occupy, and at a fraction of th«i
cost, both of construction and opera*,
tion. It will do this work without Jar
or pounding, ond will reduce «to a min
imum the risk of deramgement or break
age. Tlieto is nothingjn tho -whole
range of menhaniml con&tnrot’.on, from
■railway locomotives to era nip mills,
wflilch such an invention may'oot txwo-
Unionize.
: ( The essential characteristics of the
‘tmuchlne is nhe application of the pres
sure of staun to produce an extremely
rapid vibration of a -bar of stool or pis
ton, .which, to turn, Is so adapted to a
set of magnates .that .die mechanical
energy -of tho vibration Is converted
into electricity. The extraordinary re-
su’Jt is rthu-t practically an absolutely
oonstnmJt vibration is established, and a
power is obtained greatly beyond, that
obtained in the mfcit costly expansion
oug'mo3 using a. similar amount or
steam.
Besides sayflng in mechanical friction
the 35 per cent. oMoss in the working
of fhe engine, Cie 15 per cent, of the
loss by belt friction and the 10 per cent,
wasted in the dynamo, making ,alv\,
gcihwr an addition of GO per wait, to the
available energy obtained' from the
steam for tho purpose of producing
electricity, It is simpler, smaller and
lighter than the mechanism If Is des
tined to replace, absolutely constant in
its taction, auibomatiaully regukntvd and
subject to tho least possible amount of
wear and tear.
Tho utilization ofi this machine In any
branch of industry would result iu an
appreciable lowering in the cost of
production, and It is quitie possible thuf
Its general employment may be In elec

BREAD AND COAL CHEAP.
Port Huron’s Poor People Enjoying
the Merry War. .
Port Huron, Mich., Dec. 18.—A brand
and coal war is on in this city, and for
poor people it a merry war indeed.
Commencing at once, eight of the
twelve large bakeries wlH ec-U bread
at the rate Of two loaves for 5 ceots.
This is to meet & cut made by the
OihtM-*, who last we«k reduced the
price from 5 to 3 cents a loaf. Hard
coal, in sfove-six#. Is selling at a price
unheard of In Port Huron heretofore.
On* dealer refused to raise the price,
and the cut waus made to bring him into
line. He refuses to be brought to time,
however, and It is erpectad that crert
wilt b» down to 12 if the war to not set
tled noon.
At noon today a Lake Park baker

SOME REVERSES OF FORTUNE.
A Yorkslre vicar In London last month
paid hla ’Bus fare to one who only ten
years ago was the squlro of an East Rid
ing village. The last time they had met
the squire sat In the square pew of his
village church, the walls of which held
many tablets to the memory of his an
cestors. He, their descen-lant. throiiKh
mortgages and reduced rents, had to gain
his. dally bread by flailing foot passengers
and Inviting thorn to ride to the "Angel.”
Many examples of the vicissitudes ot
Yorkshire families might be given. Thus
the ladles of a family who were in a po
sition frequently to entertain the Duke
of Clarence so recently as when he was-
quartered at York have been Applicants
for situations as governesses. A man
who was the titular owner of most of the
land In another village called on the.
churchwardens (who were his nominal"
tenants) and asked If they could give
him an ofder for stoves (pr warming the
church, as he was making his living by
selling them. Another gentleman in posi
tion, moving In the society of noblemen,
piny now be seen In the uniform of a
porter at a station in his native county.
Bravely have the people faced their po
sitions, nnd, instead of doing that which
a century back would have been consid
ered the only thing possible, vis., spong
ing r-n their relatives, they have nobly
resolved to do their beat In reduced cir
cumstances.—Yorkshire (Eng.) News.

I met Mr. George H: Hope of Charles
ton at the Brown house yesterday and
had <* ’brief, but very IntereatUig con
versation with him about fertilizers.
Mr. Hope, being one of the principal
owners of «he flXHsto Phosphate Com
pany of Charleston, said: ,r We don’t
expect to make any great money out
of fertilisers this season, aa we have
nil reduced the output one-third, so
that one-third lees fertilizers will be 00
the market this season than Hat season,
or any of the previous seasons. This
agreement war entered into at a meet
ing of the manufacturers of fertilizers
and was done to meet the reduoed cot
ton crop of next season.” Mr. Hope
knows all about fertilizers and keeps
posted on what the farmers are doing.
“We are erecting a monument <0 5

Ingham yesterday, as he pointed to tt
long© pile of cotton In the contra of his
warehouse on Beoond street. ’’That is
now only twenty-one feet hl$fh, but I
have instructed the men to make It
