auditor. Yeaterday wr-»et for the hearing, but a
continuance waa had to 10 o'clock to-day. At that
hour the parties interested met in Judge McCay’e
office. The parties defendant are Col. Fittttmona,
tho sureties on hia first bond. W.A. Hemphill, Evan
P. Howell, Clark Howell, Br., Albert Howell, Patrick
■Walsh and RobertH. May; and the auretiea on the
second bond, ex-Oovernor James M. Smith, Col.
Abda Johnson and Gen. A. It. Lawton.
’The ex-marshal was represented by Col. Broyles,
who also appeared as tounael for W. A. Hemphill
and tho Howells. Hon. Adolph Brandt appeared
as counsel for Hon. Patrick Walah, Capt. Harry
Jackson for Gen. A. It. Lawton, and Col. ltuaaell of
Columbus for Governor Smith, who waa also
present. The government waa represented by Die-
trict-Attorney Hill aud Gen. Phillips of Marietta,
who has been retained aa special counsel. Robert
U. May of Augusta, who waa on the first bond and
a party to the suit, had been served with notice, put
in no appearance. CoL Abda Johnson, who was
the bond, is dead, and the estate baa not been made
• party.
The first point In the case was one whioh cam#
up yesterday and was ruled on by Judge McCay.
It appears that soon after Col. Fitzsimona went
into the office of Marshal, he retained the law firm
of McCay it Trippe as counsel and paid them a fee
of $100, which he charged up pro rata to his depu
ties. The deputies interested through the govern
ment counsel have entered objection to Judge
Trippe as auditor, claiming that ho is*disqualified.
This was overruled yesterday by Judge McCay.
This morning Judge Trippe stated that
while he was satisfied that under the law
disqualification exists, still, person
ally, he would prefer to be relieved, if the counael
would agree upon some one else as auditor. After
some little discussion, in which it appeared that
the Judge enjoyed tho full confidence of every one
ooncerued, the point waa abandoned and the case
proceeded. District Attorney Hill resd the declara
tion in which the government sues the ex-Msrshal
snd his sureties on the bond for $30,000, claiming
that he retained, during bis term as Marshal, from
the receipts of the offleo a large sum in excess of
the emolument allowed by law.
Mr. Russell, counael for Gov. Smith, who Is on
the second bond, filed a demurrer on the grounds
that there are two separate actions on two separato
bonds, involving two aeparste contracts, whereas
the suit can only be on one bond, aud that there is a
misjoinder of parties. Captain Jackson, for Gen.
Lawton, also on the second bond, filed a further
demurrer on the ground that the government u
seeking to hold all the bordsxnen jointly liable, at
the same time it appears that one of the bondsmen,
the late Col. Abda Johnson, through his legal rep
resentative, has not been made a party to the suit.
The other bondsmen cannot be proceeded against
jointly unless all are brought bf fore the court.
The counsel for the government bere interposed
objection, cltlmitig thst an auditor cannot pass
upon a demurrer. As there seemed no disposition
delay the proceedings or throw the case out of
the court, it waa agreod that the demurrers be Im
mediately referred to Judge McCay for discussion
before going further. CoL Broyles also filed a de
murrer at tbla point, on behalf of the ax-marshal
and the sureties represented by liim, but it
not read, but will bo presented in Judge McCay
this afternoon. The heating before the auditor
waa adjourned to 0 o’clock to-morrow. It le ex
pected the demurrers will be argued before Judge
McCay this afternoon, if he le not otherwise en
gaged.
The case promisee to be an interesting one in
many respects, and there is likely to be tome warm
feeling developed before it Is tsrminated.
Before adjournment Col. Fittslxnoue, in his own
behalf, to show thst the euit was Instituted at hia
own request, read a letter to that effect written by
Comptroller Durham of tba Treasury Department.
He expresses confidence that ths salt will result in
his favor and bring about a satisfactory adjustment
of hia accounts, which he has been seeking since
his retirement from office.
Thle afternoon, in Chambers, Judge McCay heard
the argument of counsel In the demurrers filed
this morning before the auditor in tha FlUslmoas
case. After the arguments the Judge intimated
very strongly that the demurrers would all be over
ruled, but he would reserve decision until Friday.
It la generally understood by counsel that this will
be the result, and oa that Idea the case will pro
ceed before the auditor to-morrow.
Nelms mid llenfroe in the Field for Gordon.
Atlanta, May 15.—-Your correspondent Las been
informed that a Gordon caucus was held In this
city day before yesterday, at which a large number
of the clans of the valley were present. The Con
stitution, which asserts thst it will publish the news
during the campaign, but which does not publish
the news, except so far as it may be in favor of
General Gordon, gives the names of a number of
gentlemen who wore present. Why did
not the Conatitutiou mention all of the promt
nent men who were present. It stated that
Dr. Spalding, Dr. Miller and others were presen
but failed to mention others whose names might
have attracted public Interest I understand that
in this caucus Postmaster Itenfroe and United
States Marshal Nelms were prominently p esent.
What part these officials took In ihe proceedings or
the formulating of the platform I do not know; but
it is enough that they were present. This is the
more significant, since the bosses at Washington
city have bestirred themselves because It was feer-
M that Collector Crenshaw was in favor o' Bacon
for Governor.
If it is true th«t Itenfroe and Nelms were in this
caucus, it may be well to find out just what position
they are occupying in this campaign. While it is sll
light for an official to have his individual prefer
ence for Governor, at the same time it is not con
sidered all right that a henchman of the ring, who
hav been put into a fat office,
shall use that office for tbe
advancement of the claims for office of any mem
ber of its ring. It is conceded that J. W. Renfroe
and J. W. Nelms have a right to their preference for
Governor, but is it conceded thaw Postmaster Rtn-
froe and Marshal Nelms have a right to go into a
Gordon caucus, aud by their presence lend an air
of official support to his candidacy? It is well
known that both of these officials have a great deal
of patronage, and if it is used in a partisan way it
might work greatly to the Injury of one or the
other of the candidates.

authority that Dr. Hawthorne agreed to make pro

paign for $400. The prohibitionists failed, aud the

Bacon's Krongtli in Atlanta.
Atlanta, May 11.—Hen. A. O. Bacon has many
fricuda among all clones in Atlanta. I hear of
them on all sides. Three prominent men, one of
them in the insurance business, one in tho livery
buslncs and one in the tobacco business, told me
to-day tl at they were for Bacon tooth and toe

would undoubtedly (et a majority of the delega
tions from tbe Seventh and Ninth Congressional
districts. The counties that were referred to are
for Bacon and will send delegates that way, whetb>

lection.

A Gang of IKgliuray Robbers,
Atlanta, May 15.—Last night about 3 o’clock, at
the junction of Tatnall and Chapel streets, there
was big trouble. A very dndlsh negro named Miles
McWhorter bad escorted a good-looking yellow girl
to a nickel party in West Atlanta early in the eve
ning. For some reason she concluded not to go
home with Miles, bnt accepted
company of another negro, Aaron
Oann. They started home at a very late hour.
When they reached the Junction of Maple and
Chapel two negroes halted them, and one said:
Where have yon been?” Gann replied that they
were returning from a party, and started on, when
pounced upon him and hurled him to the
ground. A whistle was then blown, and in less
than two minutes sixteen other negro men appeir-
ed upon the scene. They took from Gann's pock
ets a pistol, watch and chain and one dollar in
money.
Miles McWhorter was one of the gong. He said
‘Let's kill the scoundrel,” and the crowd seemed
ready to do tbs bb-ody work.
Gann plraded for hia life, and as a last resort
gave the sign of Odd Fellowship. Ubera
Odd Fellow In tbe gang, and he waa allowed to
take Gann aside and talk to him. He said: ••Get
away from bere as fast you can, or these men will
murder yon.” •
Miles McWhorter yelled: "Odd Fellow or no Odd
Fellow, we’ll kill him anyhow,” and the gang
started after Gann, who took to bia heels, and by
good running got away and reported the affair to
tho police.
Capt. Hassell and Officer Dick Clarke took hold of
the case this mrmlrg, and by 10 o’clock bad ar
rested Henry Hobbs, one of the gang. Qann’i
pistol waa found on Hobbe's person. He was
booked for carrying ccnccaled weapons and for
highway robbery. ________

Atlanta, May 11.—The particulars of the investi
gation which tho government has made into tbe
accounts of Dr. H. H. Gary, o! LaOrauge, as post
master at Antioch, were published In the Txxr.-
oSAru Saturday morning. A warrant was
by United States Commissioner Haight for his ar
rest and an officer sent to LaOrange after him. Dr.

Trcnog, Aei7., May 1G.—A special from
Iluocbncn anys: Capt. Hatfield, with troops
of cavalry, struck Geronimo u heavy blow
yrstf-rday morning at a point ten miles
southeast of Santa Cruz, but a few hours
later he received a heavier blow in return.
Friday aftomoon liostiloR, about 70 strong,
struck Miles Fiou’s ranche, rounding up
thirty horse*. Captain Hatfield arrived
ha^f an hour later and followed the trail on-
til dork. Yesterday morning he surprised
and stampeded the hos tiles, cup-
tr ring their horses and en
tire camp outfit He then started
for Santa Cruz, but while passing through
Box Canon on hi* way thither galling tires
suddenly poured upon his little band. Tho
men dismounted and made a gallant fight,
which lasted for hours. Two of tho com
mand were killed and three woundod.
Many Indians fell, but the number is not
known.
Capt. Hatfield finally reached Santa Cruz,
where he will be joined by Lieut. Cook,
with Dorst’s troops.

Foohttii, Ga., May 14th, 1896.
Editors Tr.Lr.on ivu : I notice in General Gor
don’s speech, delivered at Americas, Ga., and pub
lished by you yesterday, an account of an interview
between General Gordon and a "Macon boy" which
with to correct and give my opinion of tho man
and his integrity. 1 want, too, for overy town or
city to bear its own hardens.
The General knew before making his speech who
the boy was and where he waa from, for bo talked
with one of my Barncsvlllo frien Is on tho same
question. So please pardon mo while I giro yon a
true statement of the whole thing.
As the Qnitman Guards were going to Savannah to
dt the late centennial, myself and severs! friends
took berths in the sleeper, and jnst bef re arriving
Savannah, wo drossod, cimo out, aud wero talk
ing about the General's visit to Montoomorv.Atlanta
and Savannah with an intention to bhare tbo b
ora paid Jefferson Davis, thereby gaining political
prominence.
We did not know at all that Gordon
was on the carr, but while we were talking ho camo
out, walked down to tho opposito end of tho car,
then returned and asked who the young man was
that spoke of him so unkiiulty. I answered, I did.
Then he asked why I spoke as 1 did. I answered
becanso I thought it. He then asked whom I was
talking to,and I told him to "friends from the same
town and of tbe same opinion.”
Thon he went on at some length to explain him-
aelf until we pulled into 8avannah.
Now, I want the General to understand that tho
young man did not feel as though he were struck
by a twenty-four pound shot; that he waa not afraid
say where be waa from, and that he la not In tho
habit of misrepresenting things.
The General will certainly not find enough money

salary up to tbe $50,000 Benjamin U. Hill so kindly
offered him, and which he to conscientiously re

to imply, as the TaumsAi-u doea, that the people
of Montgomery and Jeff Davis and m>s«if were in

other Btate.
THE FIRST TILT.
whatever Gordon’s reasons were for becom
ing a candidate, they wero not to bo found
in an “absolutely spontaneous" summons
to preserve tbe integrity cf tho party. Gor
don had a perfect right to run fbr
Governor, and bo bail every other resident
of the State, but a desire to fill an office
was one tning, and nu acquiescence in an
irresistible sippe.il from thep -oplc was quit©
another. He would “bling no mud" in ibis
campaign. No “bittern* n," would bo iu-
jected into It bv him. lie asked th** audi
ence to bear him witness 1ii.il in this, bis
first meeting with Gen. Gordon, bo had
himself opened the discussion of tho ques
tion of hi» resignation and th*- motives
which prompted it.

tho forwarding of this communication at
this stage of tue proceeding*. Bacon was
enthusi isticidly receive «i, and his friends are
confident of carrying this county to-morrow.
When Gen. Gordon had used his fifteen
minutes to conclude, h*» asked for more
time, which whs granted on tho condition
that I>.!«'• m shmiid l :.\t- a ; much extra time
to answer Gordon ns he should use, which
tbo Geneml agreed lo. When General
Gordon had concluded, he ami his friend*
left the meeting. This conduct mado “fr
eon many friends, and his followers confi
dently expect to carry tho county to-mor
row.

Leesbubo, Ga., May 1L—Tbo initial skir
mish between the rival candidates for Gov

had an appointment hero to-diy, but owing
to tho fact that it was not generally knowu
that Mr. Rocon's presenco would nitord tho
excitement of a joint debate, a compara
tively small crowd H-meubled. It was ttgtvot
that G»n. Gordon should open in a speed
of three-quarters of an hour, Mr. iiacon
should occupy an hour and a quarter, and
Gen. Gordon should conclude in a quarter
of au hour. It was understood that hero-
after they would alternate in regard to tb
opening and conclusion.
About two hundred and fifty people n*
Bembled at the court hou.se. Gull, Gordon
was introduced by Senator Long, whose
allusions to his distinction aa u soldi'
evoked loud applause. Gen. Gordon spoke
almoht verbatim his Americus speecli as
published in the Telegrami. lie omitted
the pleasantries about the TxLpiBAPU and
submitted then for a very bitter attack
upon tbut journal. He said in Mil*,
stance that ho hated exceedingly to have
to alludo to his war record, and tho import
