C. H. HOONEY IN TROUBLE..
He is the Han Who Recently Worked
Up a Lyceum in This Place.
Mr. C. H. Mooney, the young
man who was in Statesboro three
weeks ago working uy the organ¬
ization of a local lyceum in .con¬
nection with the Alkahest Lyde’lim
Bureau, of Atlanta, and who left
a few hours before the time set for
the organization with something
like $25 which he had collected
from the members, is understood
to be in the toils in Thonmsville,
with the prospect that he may
shortly return to Statesboro to
explain his actions more thorough
ly than he has so far been able to
do by letter.
The local lyceum which Mooney
rvorked up here had a membership
of 50. Each member, he explain
ed, was to pay to the local treas
urev at the time of organization
$2, and at a later date $2 addi
tional, making a fund of $200,
for which the Atlanta Bureau was
to provide five lectures during the
season.
Mooney was not expected to
handle any of the funds of the
local organization, therefore when
lie collected something like $25
and disappeared mysteriously sus
picion was aroused. Correspond
ence w jth the Atlanta organiza
tion, however, seemed to
up the matter, and nothing
more was heard from it
Wednesday a telegram was re
ceived stating that he would
arrested at Thomasville. A war
rant was sworn out by parties
here, aud it is understood that he
will be returned here and prose
cuted.
A Small Conflagration.
The “Tillman house” on

lies of Messrs, Boh Waters and

fire yesterday morning between
and 9 o’clock. The fire was first
discovered in the loft and had
gained such headway that it was
impossible to control it. It
a pretty hot fire, and for a time
threatened to extend to
ing buildings, but the wind was
favorable to the brigade of volun
teer fireman, who managed to
prevent it from doing so.
The destroyed house was the
property of Mr. B. A. Davis, of
Portal, and was uninsured. It
was worth about $500.

RAILROAD WORK COMHENCED.
One Hundred Negroes and Two Hun¬
dred Mules Began Wednesday.
Dirt was broke Wednesday on
the extension of the Central rail
road from Statesboro to Register,
and one hundred negroes and two
hundred hiules are now throwing
up the dirt in a way that promises
to have the passenger trains run¬
ning over the road within ninety
days. In fact, it is said that the
bed will be built within sixty
days, and after that the work of
layipg the cross ties and iron is
comparatively a sm 11 job.
The right-of-way for the road
has not yet been secured in the
town, and it is said that the
authorities have not decided defi
nitely where they want to run.
It will be necessary to cross the
S. & S. railroad a short distance
below their turn table, but it is
said that objection has been made
to the crossing at the point mark
out by the engineer, as scarce
Jy enough room is left the S. &. S.
for yard purposes; therefore it is
probable that the lines will cross
some two or three hundred yards
further down than was first in
tended. Such a change would
greatly please some of the prop
ertv owners in the southern part
of town whose land is touched by
the road as at present marked
out, Messrs. Virgil Moore and
Emit Anderson especially being
among this latter class, as their
small tracts would be centrally

a certified check on some bank

He went out to Mr. W. H Blitch’s
and after spending two or three
days looking over the property,
purchased his entire plantation
and all live stock and farming
utensils for the price mentioned
above- $14,000. He paid no
money, but exhibited a certified
check for $10,000 which he was
ready to turn over as soon as the
papers were signed, which was to
be done at 10 o’clock Wednesday
morning, However, when the
hour arrived to pay over the
money, Mr. Hearst was absent
and had left no explanation of
his whereabouts. Later it was
found that he had taken the early
morning train tor Savannah. He
had taken his leave without set¬
tling with Lawyer Lee for making
an abstract of the deeds to Mr.
Blitch’s land, and both the lawyer
and Mr. Blitch were much cha¬

PENSION MONEY RUNS SHORT.
Probability That Sonic of the
Widows Hay Have to Wait.
It. will be, sad news to many
widows «h3 were counting

ture for help, to learn that
mouftv «. probability wul be paid that out uo inis year.
;:rxf1Z tZ
getthefuii amount of the appro
,,nation if Ihoy Rot any at all
The applications are beginning
to pour in from all sides, and if
there are’ over 1,060 it will be
necessary to cut down the amount
which would ordinarily go to each
widow, or to postpone the pay¬
ment of the pensions until the,
next session of the legislature.
This will be necessary on ac
count of the limited appropriation
The amount to be expended for
this class oi pensions is only $100,
(X)U, and it was expected to allow
$(10 to each widow. Mr. Lindsey
says, according to that ratio, only
I ,00G pensions could be paid, and
if the applications continue to
come in ns they have been for the
past few days, it will be an abso¬
lute necessity to cut down Urn
amount or carry over the payment
until some later time
This question will be left for
Governor Candler to decide how¬
ever, and it may be that lie will
reduce the pensions from $00 to
some other amount in order to
meet every application
This question cannot he deter
mined, however, until April 15th,
when all the applications are in.
Mr. Lindsey says publications
to the effect that he would begin
at once on the payment of widows’
pensions are not correct, and that
it will bo impossible for lnm to
give them any money until some
time in May. Approving the ap¬
plications will take quite a while,
and he says it will be some two
months before ho can complete
that work.
