Train* Claimed Victim*.
Atlanta, March 31.—As th result of
the recent military inspections by Col.
W. G. Obear, inspector general of
state troops, and Maj. F. H. French of
the Sixteenth United States Infantry,
several Georgia companies have been
put on probation and the disbandment
of others has been recommended.
Among those put on the probation
list, is the Chatham Artillery of Sa
vannah, which is given until May 1 to
make a showing. The reason for the
putting of this command on probation
is that its enlisted strength has been
allowed to fall below that required.
Company C of the First Infantry at
Swainsboro, commanded by Capt. C.
H. Thompson, has also been put on
probation.
Col. Obear has recommended the dis
bandment of Company B, Third In
fantry, Augusta, commanded by Sec
ond Lieut. C. B. Sledge. He has also
recommended the disbandment of
Company C, First Battalion Colored
Infantry, and the Georgia Artillery,
also a colored organization, both of
Savannah.
Col. Obear and Maj. French will
complete their inspection of state
troops on April 29.
Strickland and Turner.
Judson M. Strickland of Griffin, who
Is a candidate for Prison Commissioner
against Chairman J. S. Turner, called
on Chairman Turner at the office of
the Prison Commission to-day. So far
as could be seen, there was no partic
\r.r object in the visit, outside of a
aesire to indulge in a little pleasant
conversation about the race and other
matters. There does not seem to be
any personal feeling between the chair
man and his opponent. Mr. Strickland
emphatically denied the report that he
contemplated quitting the race.

Francis M. Darnell, Atlanta's fa
mous dwarf, was struck and run over
by a switch engine of the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad in the yards at
Badger street crossing this morning,
and instantly killed. The body of the
dwarf was horribly mangled, being de
capitated, and both legs were cut off.
Darnell was 71 years old. only three
feet six inches high, and wore a heavy
gray beard, giving him quite a patri
archal appearance. He made a living
for himself and his wife by selling
papers on the streets, where he has
long been a familiar figure.
Child Killed by n Train.
Guy Barnes, the 2-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Barnes, was struck
by the fast mail train on the Georgia
Railroad near his parents' home at
East Decatur, yesterday afternoon and
