Pierce Weaver to-day, which might have been improved upon had we have had more time. As it was, the cut has all been made since 1 o’clock. We tried to get Mr. Weaver to accompany us to a photograph gallery, but he declined. Then we mustered Mr. A.W. Bealer, of the Capitol’s reportorial force who makes no claims as an artist into service who went to the trial this morning and sketched Mr. Weaver as well as he could under the circumstances. That was fin ished at 12:15 o’clock, when Messrs. Dunlop & Cohen’s engravers were at dinner. Mr.-F. T. Ridge, their head engra ver, returned at one, and hurriedly placed the sketch on word. To our mind it is a splendid mechanical achievement, and we are glad to be able to pre sent a fair picture of the most interesting man in Atlanta to-day. Atlanta Mystified Again. Asa city for genuine sensations and a plenty of them, Atlanta takes the lead. The Pierce-Weaver case is one of the most noted. The Tacts briefly stated are these: In the great railroad accident on the Georgia Pacific, and the East Tennessee, V irginia and Ga. rail roads, last November, among the killed was a man who was identified at the morgue by W. 0. Jones, as the one who had been in Atlanta for several days with Gypsy, the white mare, and who had left on the train that night, and also, that he had passed athis stables as J. Woods Pierce. He was identified subsequently as J. Pierce Weaver by several parties after Mrs. Weaver, who had been notified of the accident, had come to Atlanta and identified him as her husband. Meanwhile Mrs. Pierce came here and identi fied him as her husband; also several others identified him as J. Woods Pierce. Thus the body of the man that was killed in the accident was identified by two reputable ladies and two sets of parties—the first as J. Woods Pierce and the other as J. Pierce Wea ver. The case was placed by each wife claimant in the hands of lawyers who have been diligently searching for facts with but little discovery. A few days ago, through The Capitol’s assist ance a man known as J. Pierce Weaver, and who was from Indianapolis and who had lead the life generally conceded to have been Weav er’s by those who identified the remains as Weaver’s, turned up in Chattanooga. He is here in Atlanta to-day as men tioned elsewhere, and some of those who bad identified the remains as Weaver’s, now identify this man as Weaver. Is it a case of mistaken identity. His wife when she reaches Atlanta will have a chance of passing upon the matter. If she identifies this man as her husband the mystery will be solved. If she does not, what them? Certainly there is much in the case to excite attention and intense interest,and the Capitol’s curiosity will be strung up to its highest pitch until Mrs. Weaver’s arrival. It is certainly a most wonderful case. Our Lodge editor was sent to Mr. Weaver, who proved to the editor’s entire satisfaction that be was a Knight Templar and a Mason in the 32d degree; also a Knight of Pythias, in good standing. The editor has no doubts of his proofs. Evidently trouble has laid its hand heavily upon Mr. Weaver, and his face and manners all prove that. A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever. This morning as one of the Capitol’s Faber manipulators was passing the Young Men’s Libra:y Building on Decatur street, his atten tion was directed to a most deautiful “Wag onette.” Stepping into the warerooms of Mr. H. L. Atwater, he asked the genial gentle tleman who was the purchaser of this beautiful article. “Whv,” said the gentleman, “ that is for‘Chuck’ Anderson, at Marietta, Ga., the the prince of liverymen. Mr. Anderson will use it in carrving visitors to and from Kennesaw mountain,” Every one who knows “ Chuck Anderson knows that he is first-class, and this last addition to his already complete stables, fully sustains his reputation. Mr. Atwater was kind enough to show the reporter several of the latest style wagons and carriages, among them one which deserves special mention. It is an elegant “Rockaway,” which .can be drawn bv one horse, and is comfortable and presents' as neat an appearance as a SI,OOO Landau, it is finished in the very highest style of the carriage builder’s art, and runs as smooth as a babv carriage. A visit to bis warerooms cannot fail to interest you. TELEGRAPHIC CONGRESSIONAL. Senate. Associated Press to Capitol. Wasington, August 2 —Senator Allison, from the Conference committee, on the sundry civil appropriation bill, reported that the com mittee bad been unable to agree. The con ferees had gone over every item in the bill with great care. There were certain points on which the House conferees were to ask instructions from that body, and on which the Senate con ferees desired the judgement of the Senate. The first difficulty related to the appropriations for the coast survey. The House provision had reduced the appro priations for the coast survey about SIOO,OOO below the appropriations of last year and made practically a new arrangement and adjustment with reference to the official force of the survey creating new offices, abolishing old ones, chang ing compensation, increasing compensation,etc., the Senate had amended the bill so as practi cally to continue in force as it now exists, but bad made a concession to the House respecting the field force by allowing its reduction from 64 to 52 as vacancies should occnr. The House conferees insisted that the new ad justment should be made in the bill. The an swer of Senate conferees was that the coast survey bad been, since August 1885, practically without a scientific head: and that when the office had a responsible head, with scientific knowledge, the question could be carefully ta ken up and considered. House. The speaker laid before the House a bill to in crease the naval establishment with the Senate amendments thereto. Mr. Herbert moved a concurrence in the amendments. Messrs. Her bert and Boutelle entered into a discussion as to the position taken by the Republican and Demo cratic parties on the question of increase. Quiet in Belfast. Associated Press to Capitol.

Sunday is always the big day and yesterday the gathering was a very large one—about four thousand souls were present. The surrounding country was well represented. People came in their conveyances from every direction within a circuit of twenty miles. This campus is delightfully situated, about three miles from town. It is sur rounded on every side by thick woodland two fine springs close at hand keep bubbling forth their cool and pure water. All in all, it, is a fine spot for a camp-meeting.

Tie Capitol's Interview with Mr. C. H. Coi Caused the Present Developments J. Fierce Weaver Fully Identified and the Mystery Cleared* J. Pierce Weaver, alias J. W. Pierce, was found in Chattanooga on Saturday last and brought to Atlanta, arriving here Sunday morn ing. Mr. Ladson, of Ladson A Gartrell, attorneys, and Capt. Couch, went after the much warned Weaver. He was found in Chattanooga trying to scratch along and make a living, and consented to come to Atlanta. The apprehension of Weaver is due to the Capitol alone, whether or not other parties purposely overlooked the fact. On July 24th the Capitol contained an inter view with Mr. C. H. Cox, who had known Wea ver in Indianapolis for 16 years, and in that interview he told where Weaver had been for the past six months and what he had been doing, also where he was at that time. in thb first link in the detection of Weaver appeared in this in terview, Mr. Cox stating that when he met Weaver he (Weaver) was known as J. W. Pierce and was empleyed in the book-binding establishment connected with the office of the Chattanooga Times. Mr. Ladson, one of the attorneys for Mrs. J. Woods Pierce, the wife of the Texas man, was told first of the matter by Stationhouse Keeper Buchanan, to whom the Capitol repor ter had related his interview with Mr. Cox. Mr, Ladson called at the Capibol office about 1:30 o’clock on the evening of the publication of the interview and seemed quite anxious to learn what The Capitol knew about Weaver; and asked that the interview with Cox be not published, as he was afraid it might interfere with the arrest of Weaver. On the day after the publication of the inter view with Cox, Mr. Ladson clipped the article from The Capitol and sent a copy to the Chattanooga Times office, and another to the chief of police of Charleston. These were the first “traces” sent out, and from them the whereabouts of Weaver were learned and his subsequent apprehension followed. The interview with Mr. Cox placed Mr. Lad son on Weaver’s tracks, and the Capitol’s re porter was the only person in the city that in terviewed Mr. Cox. HE IS IDENTIFIED. Yesterday morning Mr. Ernest Chisolm, who knew Weaver when he lived in Texas, identified the vrisoner, as did other parties. Weaver acknowledges that he is the party wanted, and says he was living in|Mobile when J. Woods Pierce was killed in the accident on the Georgia Pacific road. He heard of how his wife was mourning him as dead and about the fight over the dead body of Pierce. He says he kept silent because be wanted his wife to believe him dead, and the only reason he regrets his arrest is the probability of seeing his wife again. WEAVER TALKS. A Capitol reporter met Weaver at the Pied mont house, on Pryor street, this morning. It was the same reporter who had the interview with Mr. C. H. Cox, and this fact was made known to Weaver. Said he: “Cox is a nice chap, ain’t he. Why, when he met me in Chattanooga he promised on his oath to say nothing about my being alive. I was dead to the world as J. P. Weaver, and was J. Pierce. I dropped the last of my name because I was tired of living with a certain woman, and have nothing in my life to be ashamed of. I have befriended Cox many times. I was surprised when I learned he had given me awav.” “You think Cox’s story caused your arrest.” “of course it did, and nothing but that. If Cox had never al lowed vou to interview him I would never had been brought here. There was ‘sugar’ in it for Cox, and I guess he made as much out of it as possible—a great deal more than he is making out of his so-called gold mines. These fellows have broken me up in business again.” “Why don’t you sue them?” “That’s what I’ll do, I reckon." Weaver then told how he lived in Texas. When the killing of Pierce occurred he was in Mobile, boarding with Mrs. Peter Robby, on St. Michael between Conception and St. Joseph streets. He was then traveling around on a bu siness tour, and has lately visited Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. He is a good talker and has an earnest manner when speaking seriously. He LAUGHS HEARTILY when listening to some of the amusing incidents connected with the evidence which was intro duced to prove that be was the dead man. Between the dead man, Pierce, and Weaver there is some resemblance, and this would be more striking if the latter had a full beard on bis face as Pierce had at the time be was killed. Wei ver’s forehead and eyes are exact counterparts of Pierce, and there is a strong re semblance about the mouth. i IDENTIFIED BEYOND A DOUBT. This morning Weaver was carried to Dr. Wil son’s office in the Surgical Institute building, where be met four ladies who boarded at his , hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. ' Before the ladies arrived Dr. Wilson, who had been one of the witnesses to identify Pierce’s remains as those of Weaver, questioned Weaver closely about his life and business in Indianap- : Dr. Wilson states that he has no donbt that the man is Weaver, but is not tbe one for whom he took the remains of Pierce to be—he had in ’ his mind this man’s father or brother. The doctor was satisfied that J. P. Weaver knew all i about Indianapolis and its people. I Weaver showed his feet, and the toes were crooked or deformed as Mrs. Weaver and other • witnesses swore Weaver’s were. The wound in his neck was found as described. Dr- Wilson remarked that the wound in • Pierce’s neck was in the same place, but re versed. THEY KNEW HIM. > ‘ The ladies, who boarded with Weaver, alias JacoteM Store It has been nearly four years since Walter A. Taylor put on the’market a very large quanti ty of his “PREMIUM COLOGNE,” In 6 ounce bottles to compete with Hoyt’s dol lar size.

Woods Pierce as his, seemed a little dumb founded when they first saw Weaver, one of them exclaiming, “It’s so strange two men so much alike!” At first the ladies were not satisfied. “He’s too thin,’' exclaimed one. “His hair is too gray, and it is shorter than Pierce (this was Weaver’s name in Fort Worth) wore it,” said another. Then the ladies began to question him about matters at the hotel. Old family quarrels were brought up and private matters freely dis cussed. When the session was over each of the ladies arose and said, “That is the man WITHOUT A DOUBT. Weaver is a Knight of Pythias and a Mason, and proved himself to be such. Wnile absent from Indianapolis Weaver wrote several times to his Masonic Lodge for a demit, which Dr. Wilson had seen. The doctor tor asked Weaver to write as he did then, which was done, and Dr. Wilson exclaimed : “ I am satisfied.” Mr. Walter 8. Brown, attorney for Mrs. Weaver, has telegraphed for her, and she will arrive to-morrow. Mr. Brown said to a Capitol reporter that he was convinced of nothing, but was very much mystified. “How do you account for all you have just heard?” asked the reporter. “How did you account for all you heard during the trial over the remains of the dead man?” asked Mr. Brown. The reporter was unable to answer and Mr. Brown remarked: “Wait until Mrs. Weaver comes, that will settle the whole matter. In the meanwhile a mystified public anxiously awaits further developments. WILL BE TRIED AL FIVE O’CLOCK. , At 1:30 o’clock Weaver was carried before i Justice Landrum to answer to the charge of personating another person. Thia is what the , warrant charged him with, upon which he was i arrested in Chattanooga. The case was post poned until 5 o’clock. If the case is dismissed Weaver can leave the city at once, which he will probably not do, as he ► now wishes to be thoroughly i identified since the matter has gone so far. He i and his former wife, Mrs. Weaver, Will proba • bly meet again face to face. I If the justice binds Weaver over he will have to give bond or go to jail. Lot* of Fun at tbe City Temple.
