Atlanta, Afay 14.—tA. decided sensation
has been create^ bj (he xei>oxt that the
city detectives are now in correspondence
with parties elsewhere In reference to
the capture of William C. Hale, tho
giant building and loan wrecker who
mysteriooely disappeared from Atlanta
some months ago. There was a mighty
crash of the 'numerous financial institu
tions of which Mr. Hale was the pre
siding genius about the time'bf. bis sud
den and precipitous departure, and elnce
then his creditors have been working
tooth and nail to get him into the
dutches of the law.
It is not known exactly what the de
tectives ore working/on. tout it is cer
tain from the appearance o£ things 'that
(here is a pretty strong clue to the mies-
iug man. Every effort is being made to
secure a photograph of (Hale and the de-
tectlvo bureau Is busily engaged’In se
curing all tbe data poe*itole that relates
In any way to his distinguishing traits.
So mo time ago the receiver* of the
Southern Mutual Buildiugr and Loan As
sociation petitioned <the court for permis
sion to offer a reward of $1,000 for Hule,
but for some reason the matter bo* not
been acted on. It is understood, how
ever, that the petition will most likely
bo granted within the next few days,
•and that the full teat will toe given to
(his report that the detectives have him
under watch and can produce him on
notice Tho opinion is current that Hale
is spotted somewhere and a* soon as
the $1,000 reward is offered he wfil be
taken Into the confiding care of one of

THE NEW CODE OF GEORGIA.
SscoAd Volume Now Oat, Distribution
Hoon to Begin*
Atlanta, May 14.—The serqnd volume
of the new code of Georgia Is just out
and copies were delivered to the gov
ernor suprefne court and state offlcialo
today. The third volume containing
the penal code has boon out eonu- time.
The second volume, embracing the civil
code, Is the one \vhlch has Just been
Issued.
The first volume, to follow in two or
three months, will, contain about 600
pages, and that will complete the new
< ode. The throe volumes contain
pages, more than twice as many as the
code of 1882.
The now code was prepared by Judge
John 1j. Hopkins of Atlanta, Mr. J. E.
Lamar of Augusta and ex-Attorney-
General Clifford Anderson of Macon.
The work of codifying the laws was
done by Judge Hopkins and Mr, La
mar, and the annotations referring to
suprome court reports arc the work
of Col. Anderson.
Each volume contains a cross index
of. selections, showing the old> code
sections corresponding, jto aectlpps In
the new members.
. The Index of tho new code la elabo
rate and printed In convenient form.
The typography of the entire work
has been a subject of favorable, com
ment. It la claimed that not a single
typographical error has been found In
the third volume, containing the‘penal
code, published last fall*. Tho type Is
leaded, and this makes it easier to read
than tho former code.
Tho distribution to state and county
officers will take tho first 4.000 vol
umes. Distribution to Individuals on
subscription will begin some time in
JumJ. Tho price ts $4 for the entire,
code of three volumes. To test thfl

It was picked up uninjured.
WEDDED UNDER PELU8ION. ,
Queer Plea by Thomas McDowell In His
Divorce Suit.
Atlanta, May 14.-JThomas McDowell,
the gray-baired husband who Is being
sued for a divorce by young Lola E. Mc
Dowell for & largo slice of hi* property,
will come back at hi* youthful wife on
the plea of monomania. The defense
filed a bill today, ln» which H U Alleged
that the husband married under a deiui-
lOfl, And that It is In no sens© a contract
or In any wise binding. McDowell state*
that a sham marriage took place between
them in November, ISM, and that the
bride was twenty-dive, fiery and robust
and that ho was tottering on the further
side of «evcnty-*dx and not in a mental
or physical condition to marry. McDow
ell claims jhat they lived logeffcar for
several months, and that finally his wife
deeartea him. He also allege* that ho
married, her solely to oplto his two chil
dren, and that his marriage aud any
other contract* which he might have
subsequently catered Into with this wo
man was the result of this Insanity, Mr*.
MoDowell charges that rhe married her
hmUmd with tne cold-blooded under
standing that he would give her half of
hi* property as soou as the ceremony
wo* performed, *nd that the remaining
half was to go -to her on hi* death.
There serns to toe no agreement covering
<hs nolnt as to the time of the old man’*
death, although stoat appears to have
been an Important considetatiou In -the
contract.
NEW BOND FOB MATTHEWS.
Gov. Atkinson Pauea Judgment on the
Crawford OdSnary.
Atlanta, 'May 14.—Governor Atkin
son has Issued an order relieving the
bondsmen of. Joel N. Mathews, the
ordinary of Crawford county, and di
recting him to make a new bond at
once.. This action on the part of tho
governor is rhe culmination of a long
and sensational fight between Ordinary
Matthews and tols bondsmen, In which
the latter alleged that tho former had
been guilty of immoral conduct and
through hi* malfeasance had brought
the office Into disrepute. The first date
set for the bearing of the cWft there
was no one To represent the bondsmen,
and the matter was allowed to go over
for a short time. Subsequent to this
(hr- tv)ndarr.en made a second appeal,
but Just at this Juncture it was made
to appear that Marrhews had been
convicted in the superior court oh a
rather serious charge and flneife and
that the Judge sitting on the bench an
nounced his belief of the guilt of the
prisoner in very strong terras. Tho
case was appealed to the supreme
court, and on this account Governor
Atkinson -delayed action until tho su
preme court acted, for fear of preju
dicing hl« case. This has been- settled
now, and yesterday Governor Atkin
son Issued an order requiring Mathews
to give a new bond.
The case came to the supreme court,
and one of the pleas of the defense was
that under the evidence the verdict
ehould have been guilty of an*assault
hpon the girl rather than tho verdict
that waa rendered.

oa finance as to the policy to toe pursued i
in regard to the tariff -bill. Some of them,
notably Senator Gormad; are of the
opinion that, the Democrats should pre
pare a substitute bill and introduce it.
They suggest that ithia aubatltute should
embody the Democratic idea as to the
tariff, giving uniformly lower rates than
the Republican tariff bill, either as pre
pared in the house or amended by the
senate committee on flnanoe. They con
tend that the Wilson Iaw 1* not a dear
embodiment of Democratic tariff doctrine
in that it doe.? not only not produce suf
ficient revenue, tout that it carries many
features, whichi were inserted at tlje In
stance of Republican senator* in order
to secure Its passage through the senate.
There is, however, quite pronounced
opposition to this programme on the sort
of many Democratic senators, including
several members of the committee on
finance. They fake the position that tho
safest course for tho party Is -to stand
toy the Wilson tolll, which, while it 1* not
perfeot, is still a Democratic measure.
The party ha«, they say, taken the posi

other issue, and they .hold that to mix©
the tariff question on r helr own motion
would b© inconsistent and unwise. Those
who hold to this idea are willing that
amendments should be offered covering

amendments will provide rates practically

idity of these certificates in forcing
them a* a lien on the Georgia end of
the road. These contested certificates
were Issued for the purpose of building
a bridge at Knoxville and moat of the
