the (xxlce department Is considerably
puzzled over the actions of a stronger
who reached Athene on tho 10th day of
la«t month and registered at the Cen
tral house as R. L. Douglass, Memphis,
Tenn. To Mm. Geiger, the landlady, he
stated that he had money tn the ex-
press ofltce and she need have no feant
about his board. A few days after
registering he said he was etek and took
to his room. Since then he has not
been out and has positively refused to
have a physician visit him. To a Tel
egraph man Mrs. Geiger aatd that she
did not think there waa anything wrong
with her guest except that he was pe
culiar, very nervous and appeared out
of heart or something: was averse to
any one visiting trim tn his room, and
ate had employed a negro hoy to wait
upon him. The police received a tele
gram from a Mr. Day tn Indtanapnlio
asking about him, and afterwards a tet
ter was received from Day saying he
would make efforts to have him come
back North, that he waa all right.
The faculty of the University have
made no decision In the Weddlngton-

Is still to doubt.

DEATH OF CAPT. RAGLAND.
A Severe Blow to the People of Talbot
County.
Talbotton. Go.. Jan. 29.—<Special.)—
Sorrow's dark plnlcn Is folded heavily
about this little town. It Is said that
"tihere ts seldom a line of glory upon
the earth's face, but a line of suffer
ing runs parallel with it” Marriage
and giving tn marriage has been the
theme, but, a-as! sadly, sorrowfully,
does the 'town turn and witness Its
desolation, bereft of a noble, true and
good man. At 4.30 a. m. Friday morn
ing Cwpt. W. K. Ragland's tired soul
winged Its flight Into the golden realms
of endless pence. For same time Cet>t.
Ragland had been a great sufferer, but
bravely, nobly did he bear bis affliction,
heroic and unflinching at all times.
1 inching
The greatest gift he leaves his town
Is saving Ived and shed the glory of
bis gentle, unostentatious life about his
fcltewmen. None knew Capt. Ragland
hut to esteem and love him, as was
evinced In the recent election, over
other popular candidates he was chosen
to serve his county as clerk of court.
In eburoh he was ever a willing Chris-,
tlan' worker, and his hand was ever
generous to charitable objects hnd in
stitutions. Talbotton mourns Its loss,
and unites In a bond of deepest sym
pathy with the bereaved family. He
leaves a
wife, daughter and two sons.

WoUeleye Opinion of th\ Chlnew.
It wet Lord Woleeloy who regarded the
Chinese as the greatest race In the world.
His opinion was formed about I860, when
he was In China, and he never renounced
It He aatd to a representative of The
Strand Magazine: "The Chinese people
porerer all tho elements of being a great
people. They bora courage, physical power
and absolute contempt for death. Today
tn that eounlry aoiJnrisg Is locked down
upon. Only tbs ‘failures In life' enter the
army. Let a Bismarck or a Napoleon rise
np among them, and In two generations
they would be the greatest nation and
conquering power In the world. They only
need a trader. Give them progress, and
they will conquer. Three hundred years
ago they were the head of the world, but
their growth was stunted. China wants
n modern man with modern ambitions
Let their' leader coma, and they must re
vive again.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
Brooklyn. N. Y., Jan. 29.—The strikers
ore playing a double game. Through
oounsel they have appealed to the at
torney-general to move against tile
Brooklyn Heights Company to revoke
the charter for falling to operate the
road. Through tho agency of lawless
mobs they have continued cutting the
wires, assaulting non-union employees,
blocking tracks and otherwise prevent
ing the cars from operating. On tile one
hand, they Invoke the law of the land
and on thl> other they defy It even
though there are 3.000 iroops here to aid
tile police tn preserving order. Wore
the proceedings to the courts brought
by citizens acting In good faith for the
benefit of the community the offleers
of the company would undoubtedly be
uneasy as to tho result. They now
treat the maJlter light, and will make
answer that the very men who ask
the aid of the law are themselves law
breakers, whose aota have made neces
sary the calling out of the militia.
The withdrawal of the first brigade
was followed by many disturbances.
President Leiwls declared with empha
els that It was a serious mistake to
withdraw the brigade. He said that ho
had received anonymous Information
that if the remaining troops are dis
banded Sheol vl) break loose. He had
a bodyguard of detectives about his
office, and an armed guard la always
hear him. On the other hand, the may
or, Gen. MoLeer and other officials be
lieve that quiet Is restored and turbu
lence at an end. Master Workman Con
nelly still Insists that the strikers ore
not beaten. There are no signs of a
break In their ranks, only a few of
them have made peronal applications.
Tile formal tender of their services by
Mr. Oonnelly was a move upon which
to bate an application for a new writ
of mandamus.
This was made against the Atlantic
Avenue line today. Similar steps are to
follow against the Brooklyn Heights
Company and Queens County and Sub
urban companies.
The Brooklyn Heights Company was
served with forenal notice In the
mandamus proceedings against them.
They have twenty days to answer. They
have OM to appear before the attor
ney-general at Albany tomorrow in the
application for action looking to the
forfeiture of their charter. In addi
tion to tills warrants are to be applied
for tomorrow before Justice Tlghe for
the arrest of officers of the line for
violating the ten hour law. One motor-
man has made affidavit >hat he was
farced to work eleven hours and six
minutes for the company.
Violation of the ten hour law Is
misdemeanor punishable by a line of
tSio for etuch offense, or imprisonment
for three months. There are l.CM em
ployees who threaten to bring action.
Still further proceedlnt-- which are on
the programme are suits by each ex
employee for one week's salary, and
suite for damages by merchants whose
business ties been prostrated.
While the strikers arc pulling the-
strings to give trouble to the compa
nies, and force them to surrender, there
are other complications.
The board of aldermen nro seeking
for some means of demctMilng the
companies; the labor organizations have
decided not to ride In their rare: the
grand Jury Is looking Into the lose ot
life und limb due to vkffettons ot laws
rogtfntlng the spool of cars; the board
of arbitration has gone to Albany to
report upon the erases of the strike
and a new oommlttce from the teriria
turn Is en route to investigate ilra whole
matter. All In all. the lot of the trol
ley magnate Is not a hngpy one.
The comportee made a good Showing
In the number of rare run and tinea
operated today. They towve Shown that
nil they need 1s time to engage and
break In new men and protection for
the men and property ot rise roads.
Snow and out wires In the raly morn
ing gave them some trouble, but by
noon two-Ubrlds ot the number of cars
operated previous to the strike, were
running. Cars ran oteieer to schedule
and later at night than has been at
tempted In two weefcsi
The long-threatened action before the
sitorney-general to annul the charter
of the Brooklyn JMgtxts Railroad com
pany, took a Shape today. Qongress-
man William Buizer. James A. Denni
son and Deioa MV-Curdy, counsri for tbo
strikers, made formal application to
Attnmcy-GenmU Hancock yesteidhy,
aoidntc him to begin proceedings to
dissolve the Brooklyn Heights Compa
ny and to appoint a receiver to wind
up its affairs.
The attorney-general served notice
on President Lewis by wire last
night.
Only once today were the troops raffl
ed out. At J p. tn. n gang of men
placed a wagon on the track of the
Fifth avenue I toe at Twenty-first street
and mobbed the crew ot the fear ears
wldoh arrived. The policemen on the
front platform was powerless. Ha
whistled for help, however, nnd another
officer notified the Twenty-third regi
ment at the stables ot the line, at Twen
ty-third street. They rushed to the
rescue ok double quick. The meh scat
tered In all directions. I>nwls Grim,
one of the men In the crowd attempted
to remove the lever used by tbs motor-
man to turn on the current and was
arrested. There were many sac Merits
today, due to the Inexperience of roo-
tormen.
