2 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..

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. * %JL 0&4 Ytvo uU bu, olVqjUImA UjldC irn? emt ulour YOWI liadV pouil [Vr J 1 Owl im. ait bttftr JLafifc im.’tKt boAWUft! <UL Wii (Ml SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY.
