THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1885—TWELVE PAGES. THE INSIDE OF ATLANTA. CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF PLEDGER. Publisher Barnett Conclude* to Testify- The Jess© Thomas Case—Kml of a Silly liomnnco — A. Bruns wick «1 hcIj'c Resigns. Atlanta. October 27.—The Pledger-Defiance- Adair libel salt was resumed this morning in the City Court A. W. Burnett, tho publisher of the paper, who spent the night in the dank walls of the old county Jail, was brought into court Ho looked a trifle subdued, probably from the effect of his "durance vile." Solicitor Glenn put him on the stand and began casting interrogatories at him in reference to the authorship of the article as on yesterday. Burnett again declined to answer and there was a ripple of admiration In tho denae mas* of dark auditors, which, as on yesterday, sardincd the little court room. Judge Clarke turned toward the witness and in a very emphatic tone told him that if he did not answer the questions he would fine him $60 and remand him to jail for ten days. At this there was some sensation in the crowd, and scores of white eyes were turned upon tho witness. For a time he wavered, as though his mind oscillating uneasily between the dark walls and his pocketbook. HE AXSWEBS THE QUESTION. Pretty soon he made up his mind to answer the S uestlons, an J tho majesty ot the law waa asserted. urnett said that the article was handed in at the Deflance office with the paper's mail, and while he did not swear positively that Pledger wrote it, yet he gave it as his opinion that the hand writing was Pledger's, and of sequence that be was the culprit. This was tho gist of what Solicitor Glenn wning from his unwilling Ups, and was enough to all in* tents and purposes. The argument in the case was then begun. Solic itors Howell Glenn and Charles Hill spoke for tho prosecution and Judge Wright concluded for tho prisoner. The latter spoke two hours, and in the course of his remarks delivered a striking eulogy on Pledger. Judge Clark'a charge to the Jury waa very lucid and forcible. THEY FIND HIM OUILTT. The Jury in the Pledger-Defiance suit went out about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and remained an hour and a half. The crowd of people, colored and white, waited -**--*•- were the spec be. After a long wait the jury filed in and faced the court. 1 ‘Gentlemen, have you agreed on a verdict?" asked Judge Clarke. ••We have," said t te foreman. “Read it, Mr. Foreman.” “We, the Jury, find tho de fondant guilty." Jndg^Clark© th mi stated that he would si the scuvice until to-morrow morning. The crowd slowly filed out, and Pledger, without showing the slightest agitation, took his hat and with his counsel left tho building. He is on bond. The impression is that he will be fined heavily, but not imprisoned. The tlmit in libel cases is $l,uu0, or twelve months. THE WHISKY FIGHT. Charged that tho Whisky Men are Giving Boodle to tho Ncgroe Atlanta, October 27.—A sub-committee of the several temperance committees, composed of Messrs. J. C. Hendlcks, Samuel Inman and Green T. Dodd, went before the county comiasloners this afternoon and asked that body to construe the oath which each man who registers must take, and also requasted the commissioners to appoint assistant registrars for the two city districts. Mr. Hendricks, spokesman for tho sub-committee, represented to the cornmisnieners that many negroes are simply paying the (1 poll Ux for last year and registering— and that they could not rote legally unless they had paid all taxes required of them since the adoption of the constitution of ‘77 except of course for this year. He charged that the whisky men are giving the negroes money with which to pay their taxes. The idea in appointing assistant registrars is to have all the names registered upon the books as they arc given in. It la claimed that at present ■ the regis trars take their books home at night and transfer the names from tho affidavits to the books. The commissioners discussed these matters— but reserve their discussion until to-morrow morn ing at 10 o’clock, when they will reassemble. Atlanta. October 27.—'The prohibitionists held meeting in the court house basement to-night. The hall was crowded and several hundred were unable to gain admittance. Henry HUl/er, of the Young Men's Prohibition Club, presided. Dr. Hawthorne was on the platform. A. D. Freeman, of Newnan, was the first speaker. Ills address, which was ar gumentative and temperate, occupied an hour and a half. Judge George N. Lester followed in hustings harangue, in which all the c temperance “property" of ruined homes, wrecked Uvea, sorrowed wives, wronged children and lost souls were made do full duty. The Judge argued that prohibition in Atlanta would do no harm to business or property. He devoted consid erable time to abusing all auti-prohibltlonlsts, and wonnd up his speech with a regular partisan stamp appeal. Several calls were made tor Dr. Hawthorne, lie responded briefly in denunciation of all opposed to prohibition, and dedarud tpat God was on the side of prohibition. He said the tmsineea interest of the saloon keeper lies in crime, filth, infamy and deviltry. ' The next meeting of the club will be at Us rooms Friday night, which will be an experience meeting. ward committees except that made in the fourth ward. The minority report of the fourth ward committee prevailed, ana Allison Green was de clared the nominee from that ward in place of Charley Maddox, who was nominated by the commit- _ tee. The nominations are Jeese Kenyon, first ward;' I. 8. Mitchell, second ward; Edgar Angler, third ward; Allison Green, fourth ward; James Bell, fifth ward, and Dr. H. H. Ray, sixth ward. Charles Collier was nominated to-night for alder- man-at-large by the committee of sixty-one. It now remains for the mass-meeting of citizens soon to be held to ratify the nominations ratified by the com mittee of sixty-one. There ia a world of red tape and joggling in all this business. Tho big committee waa held to-night with closed doors, and waa a star- chamber affair from top to bottom. The people at large had no say-ao in the seections made, but they will have the right to sit down on the whole busi ness at the polls in December, when the election takes place. PLEDGER’S FINE. He Propose* to Go Through tho North on n Lecturing Tour. Atlata, October 28.—The City Court did some in teresting things to-day. William A. Pledger was Sued $200 or imprisoned for eight months. The sentence is suspended for fifteen days in which his counsel will be allowed to move for a new trial. Pledger says that he thinks he will pay his fine without asking for a new trial, though he baa not decided that point.

Atlanta, October 27.—Patrouage is doubling itself on the Governor very rapidly. If it continues for a few months as it has been the past month, ho will be able to get all over the State with favors in good time for the primaries for his successor. To-day the resignation was received of Courtland Symmes, judge of the County Court of Glynn, to take effect November 2. His successor has not yet been named. Work for Skowliegan. Atlanta, October 27—John E. Bryant several days ago announced his intention of leaving the city for a few weeks. I have It from good authority to night that the Puritans have prevailed upon him to remain to aid them in controlling the negro votes for prohibition at the ensuing election. The un derstanding is that he will receive compensation for hia services. Some Fine Stock. Atlanta, October 27.—Mr. J. II. Wilkins, of Waynesboro, passed through Atlanta taking with him a car load of beautiful brood marcs bound fur his fine stock farm near Waynesboro. He proposes to devote a good deal of attention to the ralsiug of fine stock on this farm, and is said to be the happy possessor of the finest stallion and jack in the South.

New York, October 29.— 1 The Democrats of Brooklyu hail a great ratification meeting to-night, notwithstanding the night was perhaps the very worst for the purpose that October has brought forth. The rain, which was heavy in the early part of the evening, came down in torrents at times later. The Academy of Music was filled to overflowing with a solid mass of people, and in the neighborhood everywhere v.vre overflow meetings. Hon. Daniel Voorhet s, United States Senator from Indiana, was the speaker of the evening in the Academy of Music, and he was received with deafening chi rs and clapping of hands, that lasted some minutes, breaking out anew each time th.it he seemed about to begin to speak. Quiet being finally restored, Mr. Voorhees began his speech by a feeling and elonuent allu sion to the death of General McClellan. ‘The heart of the nation,” said Mr. Voor hees, “will beat heavily at his tomb when he shall be buried, and to-night the cheeks of many veterans are wet with tears.” Senator Voerhees began; I noticed that Oov. Forster, of Ohio, vhen here in Now York loot week, aaked what haa* the Demo- eratjc party done to re.tore bniine,. proiperity? This question auggCRted to toy mind another: What has tho lteimhlic&u party not done to destroy it? The Republican party waa driven from power a year ago almoat on Ita own confes sion of guilt. I say, though, that the Democratic party in tho past quarter ot a century baa not had power to made a tingle law for tho beueflt o f the country. In the platform of tho Republican party last year was a lluancial plank which promised an improvement in the business interests of the land In the near future. Of all parties of falsa pretense, none have ever equalled the promlaee ot the Republican party In that platform. They promised that American eubjecta should .not remain British prisoners aa much as they hod In the poet, but the people did not believe in the honeyed words of theee wily politicians, lienee they rebuked the party at the nolle and elected Grover Cleveland Prestdeut of the United fitates. The Repuhllcene claim that they are all honest men. Do you believe it? Who, pray, were the star route thieve.?— who were implicated In the Credit Mo- biller fraud? —if not theoo ' same honest Republicans. So much for the Republican party. Now let ue look at our own party. We have not been In power very long, bnt even in that short time ore liaye done something. Give ne a respecta ble let-gth ot time, say about twelve years, for 1 think (hat is about the period we want, and we will show the eitiaene whet we can do toward bringing about an bonest and efficient administration of the government. [Applause.] Tho 8outh Is Increasing rapidly In prosperity. Eight million'- bales of cotton have been produced south of Mason and Dllon'a line during the pres- sent lesson. There should now be no sectional feeling between the North and South. The speaker alluded eloquently to Her. Henry Ward Beecher’s address upon Grant in Tremont Temple, in Boston, in which he said that the death of that hero had closed up the last furrow of the war and ac cursed be the hand which should open it again. [This allusion brought out from the audience tnmultons rounds of applause.] “Let the South have a chnneo,” said Sir. Voorhees, “and her fields will blossom with harvests and prosperity will attend her ways." [Another round of applause.] Mr. Voorhees soon after closed. The other speakers gave their attention to the local candidates. him to his office, to lunch, on his business rounds—everywhere. When he is on the street you never toko your eyes off him, and I tell yon this makes your head swim. You follow him home to supper and down town again in tho evening. You note everybody he speaks with and every lady to whom ho bows. You must stay with him till he goes to bed, and then write out your report before you get to bed. “Men are oftenest shadowed when they are in trouble, and they rush hero and there, talk to scores of men, enter scores of places, and get up early and go to bed late, good, lively subject will lead the shadow wild and merry dance, and two weeks of will wear a good man oat," DEATH OF GEN.

J., October 29.—Gen. Geo. B. McClellan died suddenly at his residence Orange Mountain at about midnight Inst night, from heart disease. Newark, N. J., October 29.—Gen. Mc Clellan’s summer home was on the summit of Orange Mountain, next to that of hia father-in-law, Gen. Marcy. The whole community was shocked by the news of his death. Flogs ore Hying nt half-mast and the Grand Army post has called a meet ing to express their sorrow and offer a body guard for tho remains. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made. Gen. McClellan was an elder in the Presbyterian chnrcb. General McClellan died shortly after mid night last night from neuralgia of tho heart Ho returned home about six weeks ago from his trip West with his family, and hail been under tho care of physicians for about two weeks. Nothing action” »*pected until yesterday, when he became worse. He died surrounded by his family at 8k Clond, Or ange Mountain, where he had lived for about twenty years. Invitations had been issued for a reception tills evening. New You a, October 29.—At General Mc Clellan’s office in this city only the mere news of his demiso had been received. He bad been failing for months, and had not visited tliq office fur two weeks, though it was uot expected that his illness would ro- snlt fatally, lie leaves a son and daughter, the former just completing his education. As soon as the news spread tbronghont the city, great sorrow was expressed at the General’s death. Flags on pnblic buildings were placed at half-mast. Loxdox, October 29.—The Standard says; Tho death of Gen. McClellan re moves another prominent figure of the civil war. He, however, was not fortunate. He bad the ill luck to be politically opposed to President Lincoln, and therefore did not receive the necessary support General McClellan’s glory wet short lived. Grant certainly was not ; rach a master of the science of war. Long I >efore the civil war McClellan was an ex perienced soldier. His soldiers loTed him and time had softened the hard things said against him. ’ATUe article, taken as a whole, is most eulogistic. THE ART OF SHADOWING. The Iteinarknhle Skill of Some Girls In the Treasury Department. Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. There is a very large amount of counter feit paper afloat, and some of it finds its way to the treasury, when it is discovered in the redemption division. It is here that all the money sent in from outside sources counted and examined. The counting and sorting is done by ladies and they arc the most expert in the country. They can tell a counterfeit instinctively, with eyes open or shut, and there is not a bank cashier in the United States, or even among the large coutingcnt now sojourn ing in Canada, who could compete with them in the matter of determining counter feits. They can tell a spurious bill as far ns they can see it, and the mere handling of tho paper is enough for them to deter mine upon its genuineness. The silk pa per upon which treasury notes are printed can only be made by expensive machinery, and it is a felony to even manufacture the blank paper without due authority. Under the circumstances all counterfeits are print ed upon inferior paper, which lends this great facility in the matter of detection. A gnido was once taking a party of visi tors throngh the redemption division, and was expatiating upon the oxpertness of the fair money-handfers in this respect. He solemnly assured the party that one of tho girls had detected a counterfeit in the mid dle of a pile of money six inches thick by merely seeing the thin edge of it. This im aginative public servant has been discharg ed under a reform administration, but af ter all it was only an exaggeration of a demonstrated fact. To a stranger it seems more like diablery than the possession of trained vision and a delicate sense of tonch in the detection of counterfeits. These female experts recoivo $75 a moiSh for their services. They do nothing but count from 9 in the morning untill 4 in the afternoon, and tneir hands move withn rapidity seldom acquired by the most ex pert bank clerks. But they mako no mis takes. A miscount or a counterfeit over looked comes out of the wages of tho one making the error, and two or three mis takes a month would wipe out n girl’s salary, as some of the hills handled nre very ^Thc great drawback of tho position is the poison absorbed bo tbe continuous hand ling of money. Tho bocks of all t-easury notes ore printed with a pigment which con sists chiefly of pans green. Small particles of this substance are absorbed, and in a year or two the girl who may have entered the treasury smooth-skinned and healthy finds herself a victim of lassi tude and with her hands and face broken out in malignant sores. Each employe is furnished with a spongo to moisten the fingers while counting. A new one is sup plied every morning, and by evening its color will hove changed to a dull black by the action of tho poison. Notwithstanding this drawback, there is never any diffleuty in filling vacancies. I. L. HARRIS, j 'Has now in stock tho most complete lino of CABBIA GES, B UG GIBS & WA G OHS ever brought to Georgia.

In all his great case* Allan Pmkerton depended mainly on what he learned by shadowing. If a man is well shadowed for two weeks so much can be discovered concerning his habits, his associates, his inclinations, his secret acts, in short of his inner life, that almost a perfect biography of him can be written. Every man does many characteristic things when he thinks he U alone that he never would do in company, and the ‘shadow’ learns a man’s true char acter by witnessing bis natural life. More people than yon imagine have been ‘shall owed,’for the information of both friends and enemies.
