The postal inspectors assert that they have evidence implicating him beyond any question. Mr. Ratlibone’s replies in the course of the examination before the fourth assist ant postmaster general, Mr. Bristow, and the inspectors, were regarded as very un satisfactory, more than establishing the suspicions that have been forced upon the investigators during the last few weeks until proof has accumulated to such an eittent as to compel them to look upon Mr. Rathbone as guilty.

JUDGES AND SOLICITORS. THE LAW OF POPULAR ELECTION Son,. Wont These Officer. Appointed by the Governor and Confirmed by the Senate Other. Wont Them Named by the Supreme Court.

Atlanta, June 21— Since the recent an nouncement that there woul.l be Intro duced Into the next House a bill tor change the constitution by having the judges and solicitors appointed by the Governor end confirmed by the Senate, a. it was under the constitution of 1868, the indications are now that there will be several of such bills, though the authors are very re leer t about the matter. While everybody admits the necessity of a change from the present unsaiist.rc tdry mode, there is yet quite ad versity of opinion as to the best course to adopt Hewlett Hall's idea to have the Supreme Court appoint has many adherents, and also the plan to have the Governor ap point. . I Hon. Ed L. Wight of Albany will intro duce .the bill to make the latter change.

IT WAS A SEMIOLB FRACAS. Many Negroes Wonndeil 1n Recent Excursion Riot. Tallahassee, Fla., June 21.—Later reports from the fracas at Thomas City Monday evening between negro excursionists from Tallahassee and turpentine hands proved that the trouble was more serious than at first reported. Several of the turpentine negroes were wounded in the skirmish, five of them se verely, and it is said that one will die. An uninterested spectator had his ear grazed by a bullet and several colored persons had ctooe calls, balls passing through their clothing, making slight flesh wounds. An Idea of the battle that raged for few minutes may be gathered from the statement that more than sixty bullets hit the rear passenger coach. This matter Is likely to get into the courts, ah it Is claimed that the fight was premeditated by the turpentine hands, who had made open threats that they would show the Tallahassee darkies how they could shoot the next time they visited Thomas City. It is apparent from the number of tur pentine negroes murdererl that the. Talla hassee darkles can shoot some thnmselve.. Thomas City is in Jefferson county, and R. L.
