NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL AN EPIDEMIC OF ROBBERIES MANY SERIOUS CRIMES HAVE BEEN COMMITTED LATELY. Atlanta Police Greatly Stirred I'p Over the Crimes— Seem Powerless to Break t'i> the Bands—The Jour nal Nays Savannah and Other Cities Are Losing; Heavily la Railroad Taxes—Pardon Is Sought for M. S. Moll. Atlanta, Nov. 2. —The police are much stirred up over an epidemic of burglaries, robberies and asauits, in few of which they have been able to make arrests. It is getting to be almost a nightly occurrence that some store in the heart of the city is enter ed almost under the glare of electric lights and the cash register robbed. At 3:30 o'clock this morning Mrs. J. B. Dorman was suddenly awakened and saw a man standing over her with a knife. He made a vicious slash at her throat, but she pushed him away and he retreated from the room. He was afterwards arrested and was found to be B. W. Tuton, who has been reared by the Dorman family. The knife used was one that Mrs. Dorman had given him. His purpose is supposed to have been robbery. Late last night unknown white men suddenly sprang upon Mrs Emma R. Woodbury, an aged widow, as she opened her door, and enveloped her in a quilt. They threatened her life if she made any outcry. They robbed the house and made their escape. A 15-year-old youth was caught last night trying to steal a bicycle. While he was held by his two captors await ing the police, he suddenly shoved a pistol into their faces, backed out of the establishment and made his es cape. These are recent samples of numer ous crimes which Atlanta is suffering from almost daily. Manston on Trial. Charles A. Manston, superintendent of the Southern Engraving Company, was placed on trial in the United States Court to-day on the charge of having made the plates with which a large number of counterfeit $lO bills were printed by the gang, of whom three pleaded guilty yesterday. W. L. Wynne, who turned state’s ev idence, declared that Manston himself made the plates, and that he had shielded him at first only because of his wife and children. Night Watch man Wallace of the Constitution stat ed Manston was in the engraving room on the night on which the plates are said to have been made. The trial will be continued to-mor row. Seeking Tardon for Mell. Attorney Robert L. Colding of Sa vannah and Harbormaster James Mc- Bride were in the city to-day. Mr. Golding came up to present to the Prison Commission an application for the pardon of M. S. Mell of Savan nah, who is serving a twenty-years’ sentence for voluntary manslaughter. The commission has not yet acted on the casa. Siicceaaor for Mathla. The State Normal School trustees ■will meet at the Capitol to-morrow to elect a successor to Prof. J. B. Mathis of the chair of mathematics. There are several applicants, and it may take two or three ballots to decide it. Their Sentence* Commuted. The Prison Commission to-day com muted the sentences of the four State Fair gamblers who were arrested for conducting gaming devices at the State Fair in Macon, as follows: The fines of Sam Kasten and J. Weinberg, prin cipals, were reduced from SSOO to $260, and those of the clerks, J. H. Wilday and 8. A. Peterson, were reduced from S4OO to SIOO each. The Governor ap proved the findings. Pops With Republicans. Hon. S. C. Dunlap and Hon. Fletcher Jphnson of Gainesville, who were In the city to-day, stated that the Popu lists of the Ninth Congressional dis trict are preparing to vote right along for the Republicans, and that the name of J. M. Ashley, Republican candidate for Congress, will appear on the Pop ulist tickets. Hon. T. M. Bell and his friends do not fear the result, but are making strong efforts to get out a full Demo cratic vote. County Must Pay Expense. Attorney General John C. Hart ren dered an opinion to-day to the effect that where a felony convict escapes from a county chaingang, organized under the new law. the county must pay the expense of recapture. If the qonvlct Is not recaptured, or If a con vict dies, another convict must be sup plied by the state to make up the full quota to which the county is entitled. Loses Railroad Taxes. In a statement In the Journal it Is charged that Atlanta, Savannah and Macon and the counties in which they are located lose annually a total of $106,324 In taxes from the railroads as the result of the difference in the act ual value of their properties as stated In their petitions filed in the United States court, and the returns of valu ation made to Controller General W. A. Wright. It la true that the valuations act forth In the court petitions are con siderably greater than the returns made for taxation, but Controller Gen eral Wright atatea this la a well known fact and that the railroads In making their returns stated they were made on he same baals us all other property in the state, or about 60 par cent, of actual value. There has never been any secret about this, he said. OIIH44TBK CIRE FOR I'll,KM. Itching, blind, bleeding or protrud ing plica.

Atlanta, Nov. 2.—C01. Clifford L. Anderson in an interview this after noon asserts that the report of Gen. Barry orlticising Georgia troops at Manassas, is absolutely unjust. He declares the sanitation of the camp was perfect and that no officers of Gen. Barry's staff at any time inspect ed it. Col. Anderson asserts it as a fact that his regiment did more marching than any other in Gen. Barry’s bri gade, and for that reason did not go to the review. Gov. Terrell, speaking of the matter to-day, said he simply turned the troops over to the United States, and if they did anything that subjected themselves to criticism, that was their lookout. He knew nothing of the facts in the case, he said. Acting Adjt. Gen. Scott agrees with Gen. Barry as to the inefficiency of composite regiments, but did not care to discuss other features of the report. CHAINGANG BOSSES FOUND NOT GUILTY. Acquitted of Charge of Whipping Hartley to Death.
