WILL BE NO BIG
UNIVERSITY NOW
THE PLAN IS GIVEN OVER.
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PRES
BYTERIAN SYNODS MET.
Defrnt of the Proposed Plan* for
the Consolidation at Atlanta For
mally Admitted—Atlanta People
Are Released front Their Prom
ises to Give ip $350,000 In Sub
scription*—New Plans for the In
stitation Are Formed.
Atlanta, Nov. 24.—At a meeting to
day of delegates of the Presbyterian
synod of Georgia, Florida and Missis
sippi, assembled for the purpose of dis
cussing plans for the consolidation of
the universities at Columbia. S. C.,
and Clarksville, Tenn.. in one great
university in Atlanta, the defeat of the
proposed plans was admitted in a re
port, which was adopted, and the citi
zens of Atlanta, who had subscribed
more than $250,000 to the project, Were
formally notified that they were re
leased from this obligation,
The defeat of this university project
was announced some time ago, but it
remained for the little convention held
to-day to take formal action. The
plan was defeated by the action of two
of the synods controlling the Univer
sity at Clarksville refusing their as
sent, those of Tennessee and Louis
iana.
While the promoters of this move
ment feel deeply disappointed over the
failure of their great efforts, they have
not altogether abandoned their plans.
They have decided to go to work on
new lines for a great Presbyterian
university, to he established in Geor
gia, but it will be sometime yet before
these new plans are given to the pub
lic.
WANT THEM TO BE PAID
FOR WINNING THE CASE.
Slnte OtficinD Who Fought the Tax
Fight Have Friend* at Work,
Atlanta. Nov. 24.—The question has
been raised among the friends of those
state officials who were instrumental in
the state winning the big suit which
will bring It taxes on the $1,500,000 of
Western of Alabama stock owned by
the Georgia Railroad as to their be
ing pa’d fees for their important and
valuable work.
Those involved are the three who
worked on the cases as attorney gen
eral and the controller general, the
salary of each of whom is only $2,000.
Frequently there has been opposed to
the Attorney General In these big liti
gations counsel whose fee in the sin
gle case was $5,000 to SIO,OOO.
Now that thousands of dollars will
be brought into the state’s treasury as
the result of this success, many con
tend that the services of these officials
should be substantially recognized.
It is not unlikely that the matter will
be brought to the attention of the leg
islature next summer.
SAYS IT WAS IMMORAL
So Phillips Is Fighting Suit Drought
by Cotton Brokers.
Tlfton, Ga.. Nov. 24.—Concerning
the suit brought in the United States
court at Macon yesterday by Bailey ft
Graham, New York cotton brokers,
against P. D. Phillips of Berrien coun

lips for a certain number of bales of
cotton bought from them in futures,

ing Mr. Phillips, gives out the follow
ing statement:
Phillips alleges as his defense that
he bought the cotton and when wired
for a margin, gave two checks, each
for SSOO, and instructed the brokers
to sell when cotton was up, and that
they did not do this, but sold when it
was down; thus the loss. He Instruct
ed the bank to Withhold payment of
the cheeks. He further alleges that
the transaction was of an immoral and
illegal nature and not in accordance
With the laws of the country.
The ease was referred to the South*
western Ctreult art: Valdosta. The pa
pers will be served on Mr. Phillips to
morrow. PhilllDs i* a prominent saw

CARRIED OFF O* MOOSE'S lIORIS.
Aero** Lake Animal Swam With Vic
tim Caught by Tronser Leg,
FVom the Gal vest oh Dally News.
Bangor, most remarkable
adventure of the season in the Maine
woods la that Which befell Abbott Nel
son of Skowhegan, last Saturday, in
the woods near the forks of the Ken
nebec. Nelson was carried three miles
through the wood* on the horns of an
Infuriated bull moose, nearly drowned
in a lake which tM moose swam and
than swung on the animal's horns
while it did battle with another moose.
Yet Nelson lived to tell the story.
Nelson started from ramp on Sat
urday afternoon to shoot part rldgiS,
being armed only with a shotgun. On
his way back a big bull moose barred
the way. Nelson fired both barrels
of his shotgun into the moose and then
ran for the nearest tree. The moose
rushed upon thn hunter with a bel
low of rage that echoed through the
forest.
Tbs limb upon which Nelson hod
perched was only ten feet from the
ground and the moose, by rearing upon
hie hind leg*, could reach him and
atruck at him with a pair of antlers
heavy enough to knock oVer a tree.
Seeing that he would be killed If he
remained there, Nelson moved out an
the limb, which waa higher from the
ground at Its outer end, but hie
weight mas too muoh and the limb
broke, letting him (town directly upon
the atiltooT* nose. To moke thing*
worse, his Onymi become caught In
the Unit) eg that he ouaM tneve neither
one way nor the other, and while he
was thus entangled the moose charg
ed.
The moose missed the man, but his
horns became entangled in the limb.
With a mights* effort he wrenched the
limb free and started off through the
woods, carrying man and limb upon
his horns. By this time lje was sud
denly revived by being plunged into
the lake which the moose was swim
ming.
By holding firmly to the antlers. Nel
son was able to keep his seat and lift
his head above water. Death seemed
near, for the lake was two miles
across, and the moose was swimming
the Widest part.
But the worst was to come. Scarce
ly had the moose, with hiR burden of
man and branch, reached the opposite
shore of the lake, when there appeared
another ahd a larger moose, full of
fight. The second moose barred the
way. and at once a battle began,
which, says Nelson, beggared descrip
tion.
The Unfortunate hunter, held fast
by his clothing, was banged from side
to side, dashed against trees and man
gled hy the clashing horns, until fin
ally the cloth gave way and he was
pitched high in the air, landing Into
the bushes twenty-five feet away.
There, bruised, cut and bleeding, he
lay, unable to rise, and for ati hour
watched the combat between the rival
kings of the forest.
At last one of the moose, the chal
lenger, appeared to have received his
death thrust, but as he fell he made
a last rush upon His antagonist, and
their horns became so locked that the
victor was Imprisoned. In five min
utes the challenging moose was dead,
and then, having partially regained his
strength, Nelson finished the other
with his hunting knife.
Nelson obtained help on Sunday and
brought out the moose.
IMPRISONED THE WRONG MAN.
linear Cn*e* Where .Instlee tin* Err
ed Mainly Through Wrong
From London Answers.
Pi very year sees a number of inno
cent men wrongly convicted, and while
in some cases proofs of these judicial
errors come to hand after the victims
have served but a few months' im
prisonment, in many instances the mis
takes 'are nod found out until after
(hose convicted have served their full
sentence.
The public rarely hears of these mis
takes of justice, and yet In 1897 thirly
one meh and women were released and
granted a free pardon after having
been wrongly imprisoned for over four
months, in none of these cases was
the victim granted any compensation,
nor does the law entitle them to redress
in any shape or form, while not so
much as a written or unwritten apology
is their lot.
Ih cases of mistaken identity, similar
to that of Adolph beck, there are very
fetv precedents of compensatory bounty
having been granted, while those on
record do not show a dispensation of
very large Sums. However, some six
ty years ago a most flagrant Instance
of miscarriage of justice occurred. A
Well* known solicitor named Barber
was, after a long trial, convicted of
forgery and was sentenced to transpor
tation for life.
A considerable time elapsed before
proofs turned up which infallibly prov
ed that justice had erred. In this
case it was felt that there were moral
and intellectual claims for compensa
tion for suffering Which h'ad been borne
so long, so terribly and so undeserved*
ly, on the shoulders of an innocent
man. A long debate was held to deter
mine the exact sum of nktney which
could, In sortie measure at least, make
up for the personal agony, which the
victim had undergone, and eventually
the House of Commons ordered the
wronged man A bounty of £5,000.
Some three years ago a man from
New Zealund was brought to Colches
ter, charged with having committed
murder. Eventually, however, the case
against him was dismissed, and, fak
ing into account the fearful strain
which the innocent man must have
Buffered, the Treasury granted him
£BOO.
The largest sum which has ever been
granted in almost exactly similar con
dltlohs to those Under Which Adolph
Beck wrongfully suffered Imprisonment
occurred exactly twenty*eight years
ago, when a man named Habron was
convicted of murder at Manchester.
Fortunately proofs of his innocence
turned up, but not until some time
later. Never had justice committed a
greater mistake, and, although It was
felt that it would be Impossible ade
quately to compensate the victim of
this extraordinary case of mistaken
Identity, he was only granted a Bum
of £I,OOO.
There are numerous cases of mis
taken identity in which the wrongful
ly convicted man has not received one
penny of compensation. In 1895 a man
named Stewart was charged with be
ing an escaped convict. He firmly pro
tested that his name was Stickler, but
the evidence was so strong against him
that he was sent back to prison. Two
years elapsed before the police arrest
ed a man who was exactly like Stew*
art, and that It was discovered that
this man was the erstwhile missing
jailbird.
Stickler, of course, was Immediately
released, but could claim ho redress,
ahd his only consolation Was that he
had not been compelled to serve the
full sentence.
The exact value of circumstantial
evidence is a much-discussed question.
William Shaw sonde years ago was
hanged on circumstantial evidence for
the murder of his daughter. About a
year after his execution the tenant
who rented Shaw's house discovered a
letter written by the supposed murder
ed girl, In which she stated that as
the man she loved had Jilted her she
had made up her mind to commit Sui
cide. The authorities were, of course.
Unable to expiate this terrible mistake,
but the dead man's body was handed
bvef to his relatives for reinterment,
while Hags were waved over the grave,
and prominent officials attended the
funeral ih token that Shaw's innocence
was recognised.
