SCHLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
HER CASE AGAINST S., P. & W. R'Y BE
FORE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Ex-Governor Bob Taylor Favors the Nomi
nation of the Marylander.
The Nashville Daily News publishes
interviews with Governor Benton
McMillan, ex-Governor Robert L. Tay
lor, United States Senator Carmack and
other distinguished men of the state on
the Sampson-Schley controversy.
Former Governor Bob Taylor says:
"I am tor Sohlev for president of the
United States. He's been the worst
treated man in our history. The Drey
fus case has almost been equaled here
in our free couutry. A Marylander, he
is a man whom the south can claim and
will be proud to support, and at the
same time a man whom no northern
Democrat can object to. He is the man
for the Democrats to nominate in 1904,
and with him as our leader the voters
will rebnke this gang of traduoers in
Washington."
Mrs. Broderick Dead.
London, Ang. 1.—Mrs. Hilda Broder*

for foreign affairs, is dead. She was

FOR SALE CHEAP.
Thomnsville haB won its case before
the Railroad Commission of Georgia
against the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway. The citizens of
Thomnsville alleged in their complaint
that the road established a freight rate
which made a discrimination against
the merchants and others of that plaoe.
The case is of local interest at Albany,
as the Commissioners in their deoision
advise the road that they will not ap
prove an amonded rate whioh contem
plates an increase of freight rates at
this point.
The oase was argued before the Com
mission last week, and Chairman Cren
shaw handed down the docision yester
day. It instructs the Savannah, Florida
und Western road to prepare within ten
days a tariff of freight rates removing
all unjust discriminations.
In a letter addressed to General
Freight Agent James Menzles, who
represented the road before the com
mission, Chairman Crenshaw says:
"The commission wishes to say in
this oonneotlon that it would not give
Its approval to any tariffs or re-adjtiBt-
mentof rates whioh contemplates an
increase of rates at Albany, and sug
gests that the tariff to be submitted be
prepared on that basis."
The deoision in full is as follows:
"Atlanta, Ga., July 29,1901.
"Citizens of Thomnsville, Ga., versos
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company, oomplalnt of nn-
jnst discrimination in freight rates.
“After hearing the evidence and ar
gument submitted for the respective
parties in the above entitled matter, the
commission finds generally upon the
matters aud things stated In the com
plaint filed in this esse in favor of the
oomplainant. It finds that Thomasville
is nearer by eight miles to both Savan
nah anil Brnnswick than is Albanv ;
that the schedule of rates oharged by
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Oompany for the transporta
tion of freigiit between Savannah and
Brunswiok and Thomasvillo is higher
than the rates charged for similar ser
vice between Savannah and Brunswick
and Albany.
'It finds that the competition exisit-
ing at Albany between the lines of the
defendant, the said Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Oompany, and
the other roads converging at that point,
does not justify snoh discrimination in
the rates in favor of Albany and to the
prejudice of Thomasville, said defend-
aut company controlling and operating
the shortest line of railway between
both of said ports and Thomasvillo and
Albanv ; and it finds no snoh dissimilar
ity of conditions at Albany as compared
with those whioh obtain at Thomasville
as would warrant or justify the charg
ing of a higher rate to Thomasville than
is charged to Albany on similar freights
and it finds farther that the exaction of
the higher rate for the shorter haul con
stitutes an nnjnst discrimination against
Thomasville.
'Therefore, it is ordered, that the dis
crimination complained of he discontin
ued and that the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway company file with the
railroad commission of Georgia for its
consideration and approval, within ten
days from this date, a tariff of freight
rates removing all of said nnjnst dis
criminations ; and in the default thereof,
the commission will itself make snoh
rates and orders in the premises as may
seem meet and proper.
“Let copies hereof be forwarded by
due course of mail to the respective
parties. By order of the board."
New Terms May Be De
manded of the Steel
Trust, or There May Bte
No Further Meetings of
the Legislative Bodies—
Strike Leaders Have
Scattered.
Pittsburg, Pa., July 31.—There oan
be little doubt that an. open rapture oc
curred at the sessions of the legislative
bodies of tho steel strikers. The board’
has adjourned to await the call of Sec
retary Williams, whioh means that new
terms will be asked for and submitted
at the next meeting, or that there will
be no more meetings,
Last night after adjournment, Na
tional Trustee John Morgan, Vloe Presi
dent W. O. Davis, and Assistant Nation
al Secretary Tighe hoarded a Bleeper out
of Allegheny for Cleveland. It i» Be
lieved they have gone to organise the
Orescent Tin Plate Works of that oity
into the Amalgamated Association.
This is open defianoe of Morgan, am) 1b

Minor oflioials of the strikers ‘say they
arc willing to fight to the bitter end
rather than aooept the humiliating de
mands of the Morgan Trust.
President Shaffer and Seoretary Wil
liams are mysteriously missing from
here. It is believed they are in New
York conferring with J. P. '-Morgan and
President Sohwab, who are known to
be in New York. Nearly all the other
members of the executive committee are
missing, and it is said they hare lbft to
wage further war on the TruBt. The
mystery does not yet begin to analyze.
The headquarters of the strikers are ab

Washington, July 80.—Tho oil and
gas fields of western, interior and north
ern Texas ooal regions and on the Weat-
era Gulf Coast are reported upon in a
bulletin issued by the geological Borvey.
The report says the productive territory
is being constantly extended, as there is
a demand for the gas as fuel, and oil is
proving a profitable souroe. According
to the report, the Beanmont oil has a
gravity of 22 degrees Banme, has an as
phalt base and contains a considerable
quantity of snlphnr.
TestBshow," says the report, -'that
the percentage of light oils whioh It con
tains is very low, and it is therefore re
garded as a fuel oil. The cluster of
wells at Bcamont, whioh have readied
the oil deposits, are four miles south of
the oentcr of the town, and within a
radius of half a mile from the first dis
covery. Up to June IB those actually
recognized as producers number eleven. ’ ’
Regarding the present prospecting in
the Texas fields, the report oontinnea:
"The active drilling has been nearly all
confined to the Spindle Top Heights and
has thns far developed a field of limited
extent. Some of the wells situated very
near to the producing territory are now
proved to be failures. This has canBed
a more conservative spirit among the
operators and the oil business is begin
ning to be conducted on a more oarefnl
basis. Tbe f aot that tbe reservoir under
Spindle Top Heights appears to have
only a limited extent does not preclude
the possibility of finding oil in the same
general horizon in other places. In
stead of a continuous field, prospectors
should expect to find a number of small
fields ocenrring at wide intervals."

The Maoon Telegraph this morning
publishes the following from its Atlanta
correspondent:
Atlanta, July 8O.-O0I. J. H*. Estlll,
of Savannah, will make the raoe for
governor.
This announcement was made to me
today by Major G. M. Ryalsof Qhatham
county.
In this oonneotion Mnj. Ryals said:
“While I did not oome to Atlanta for
the purpose of lannoliing Ool. Estill’s
boom for governor, that is a part of my
business here, I have oome np.to have
a talk with Governor Candlor and other
friends about this matter. When I was
here a short time ago I had a talk with
the-governor, and he told me that in his
opinion it was Sonth Georgia’s- time to
name the governor, and that he was
willing to help ns out. Now aa duBig-
non and Braufley are both out oi the
race, we people down onr way think
that we have the right man for-govornor
in the person of Ool. EstilL There iB
only one thing that will keepGol. Estlll
from making the raoe, and that Is an
annonnoeYnent from Judge Tamer that
ho will be a candidate for the- office. If
he will ran then Ool. Estlll will not, but
I think itjis safe to Bay that he \gill not,
and this being so we want It understood
that Ool. Estlll is a oandtdate, and that
Sonth Georgia Is going to do-lts best to
eleot him. No objeotion oan be fonnd
to our candidate. He is in every way
qualified for the offioe. He has made a
success in private life- and oan be
trusted with the affairs of the state.
Now what we wont is for; the people
of North Georgia to come to- onr assist
ance this time. Onr end sf the Btate
has been ignored in honors of this char
acter for many years, and we think that
it is nothing bat right that we should
bo allowed to get something occasion
ally. The friends of Ool. Estlll in Sa
vannah, and In foot all over Sonth Geor
gia. will give him a very generous sup
port,, and we can eqsily elect him with
a little outside help. Governor Candler
appreciates the faat that we are asking
for nothing that is not fair and jast, and
ho is honest enongh to say so. He has
snid this all along and I am satisfied that
he is iu earnest in what he says.
'The friends of our candidate in Sa
vannah feel very much enconraged by
the way in whioh the annonneement of
Ool. Estill's name in this connection is
being received, not only In onr section
of the state, bnt in almost every other
part of Georgia. Many people who do
not know him personally, know him by
reputation us a successful business man,
and are willing to support him for this
reasou, as well as for the reaeon that
they recognize the faot that Sonth Geor
gia should furnish the governor at the
next eleotion. Mark my word, Ool.
Estill will make the raoe and we are
going to eleot him, too,”

Calnmet Heights last night: -
Chicago, July 31—The Baltimore and
Ohio passenger train from- the East,
which wub due to arrive la> the Gnuad<
Central depot at Chicago at 9' o’clock
tonight, was held up by five masked'
men at 8 o’clock between Hdgenuxwo
and Grand Calumet Heights, Indiana,
81 miles out from Chicago. One of the
mail cars, whioh oontataod' no money,,
was dynamited and wreoked. Tho at
tempt at robbery was mode after the
two mall oars had been detoohed from
the train and run a quarter of a mile
ahead. Tho failure of the robbers to
make a rioh haul was due to the faot
that the express car, whioh contained
the train’s treasure, was in an unusual
plaoe. It was the thirdoan in the train.
After wrecking the mail oar and obtain
ing no booty, the bobbers disappeared
in the darkness without attempting to
reotify their mistake. The only loot
that they carried away with them as a
resnlt of their adventnre wub the gold
watoh of tbe engineer.
The train was tho New York and
Washington vestibule limited. Most'of
the trainmen were, shot at and had nar
row esoapes from the bnllete. No per
son was injured either by dynamite or

New York, August 1.—The gamblers

have Instituted, through their attorneys
and John R. Dos Passos, oonnsel, a pro
ceeding to take the oaee of Obales Ben

of the penal code of this state in regard

Mr. Dos Passas said that if the Uni ten

tion that the Btate laws were unconstitu

SAHFORD INDICTED.
Floyd County's Tax Collector Several Thoul-
ind Shy.
Rome.Ga., August 81—Ajgrontjsensa-
tion was oaused here yesterday after
noon when it beoame known that, the
grand jury had indicted Tax* Collector
V. T. Sanford, charging him with th«
embezzlement of$84,080.14of the county
and state funds. There were two in-
diotrmonts; one for oonnty and the other
for state funds. The presentments go
fully into the affairs of Tax- Collector
Sanford’s offioe, Item by Item.
The report oovers twenty-one paged
of typewritten legal cap paper. It de
clares that the total amount collected
and unaooonnted for is t84,08B.ld, Of
the 189,086.22 due, 164,867.72 is account
ed for. The sum of $28,600 has been
paid to the state treasurer, aud$24,11084
to the oonnty, treasurer. • This leaves a
balance due as stated above.
Mr. Sanford’s friends olalm that he
will be able to explain many of tha dis
crepancies oharged against him. They *
ask the publio to suspend' judgment un
til he Is given a ohanoe to settle. The
oonnty and state will hot lose anything,
as Mr. Sanford 1» bonded for 1110,000.
Mr. Sanford, created a great deal of
snrprise not very long since by suddenly
tendering his resignation. The news
papers were filled with notices In his
praise and expressions of regret that an
offloial who was so universally popular
should see fit to give up his office. It fin
ally beoame so evident that no one conld
be fonnd who conld fill Mr. Sanford’s
plaoe in the hearts of the people of
Floyd that he was prevailed upon to
withdraw hie resignation.
