' Snow storm in New Hampshire, and frost on

The great Pierce-Weaver case is still the ex
citement on the streets. Mrs. Weaver will be
here to-morrow, when the mystery will be
solved.
W. T. Christopher, editor of the Montezu
ma Record, and erstwhile an Atlanta man, is in
the city and will stay until he is run off. He
has grown very fat and very saucy.
Everybody is clamoring for all of the city
officers to be salaried. There are several offi
ces that could be consolidated and several thou
sand dollars saved thereby to the tax payer.
It is reported that Mexico will now have to
fight or back down from her position of retain
ing Cutting in prison. There is much specula
tion as to the probable outcome of the whole
matter, but there is nothing definite.
J. C. C. Black-burn will be in Atlanta soon
in the interests of the daily and weekly Madi
sonian. Refore he has thoroughly taken in this
town the ears of some merchants will burn and
if they don’t listen favorably to his talks, their
pocketbooks will burn worse hereafter.
The council have given general satisfaction
in showing their opinion of the recent SSOO liq
uor oppressions. We believe, however, that in
stead of referring the matter to the mayor they
should have handled the matter themselves —
that is, providing their authority extended thus
far.
Dray Liceusea.
Some call it high-handed outrage.
Some designate it as highway robbery.
Some say that it is to supply the deficit from
loss of liquor revenues.
Others say that it is done to drive away our
enterprising merchants into other less grind
ing, avaricious cities.
And still others say that the poor of the city
are being unnecessarily oppressed.
What about, you ass?
We answer the late action of council taxing
private drays $25.00 a year.
Are they right in their conclusions, these
people who cry out as stated above? Perhaps
they are, and perhaps they are not; but leading
prohibitionists say that it is a fatal stroke at
the benefits to arise from prohibition.
If merchants must pay the deficiency arising
from the close of the saloons ‘they will of course
in turn charge the cost of these drays to their
customers.
The result will be that the poor will have to
pay for the drays, because they buy their sup
plies in small quantities and often, while the
rich buy in larger quantities, and of course the
delivery cost is correspondingly decreased.
There is great complaint over tbe ordinance
by every merchant in town, and now they say
that scarcely knowing anything about the ordi
nance they did not pay and as a consequence
are now obliged to pay the oppressive $1.50 fi fa
business.
There is need for reform here.
Cash or Weekly Payments.
We take this method of notifying our custo
mers that we will collect Weekly from the first
of August.
All bills sold during the week will be due and
collected on the following Monday.
By so doing, you will derive the full benefit of
the weekly system, as we will be enabled to buy
all of our stock for cash, and therefore, able to
sell for less money than heretofore.
As an illustration, we will charge on your
books the same prices as formerly; but allow 10
per cent, on all bills paid at our office on Mon
day, without being put to the expense of send
ing a collector.
Thanking you for pasi favors, and hoping to
retain you as a customer, we will always strive
toplease. Yours respectfully,

CONGRESSIONAL.
Senate.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Washington, August 3.—The Senate met at
10 o’clock Hale from the conference committee
on deficiency bill submitted a report; and pro
ceeded to explain it. In regard to certain claims
(for income tax paid by non-resident aliens)
which has been regularly estimated for and
which the House had partially and Senate en
tirely put in the bill, it had turned out in the
conference that there were objections to some of
those put in by the Senate, and the conferees
recommended that these items be referred back
to the Secretary of the Treasury with instruc
tions to report the facts to Congress next ses
sion.
Mr. Manderson inquired as to the item for 15
days leave of absence to employes of the gov
ernment printing office.
Mr. Hale said that that item was retained.
As to the item for the Brazil Steamship Com
pany, the appropriation is struck out and the
clause substituted directing the Postmaster-
General to report at next session the amount
of services rendered and the sum justly and
equitably due. •
The item to pay the Central Pacific railroad
company for services rendered on its non subsi
dized lines is also struck out. The item as to
the Washington aqueduct and tunnel, is retain
ed with a provision that the board of engineers
for fortifications and river and harbor improve
ments shall report whether any changes are
necessary in the method of lining the tunnel
and the method of lining and perfecting the
reservoir.
Mr. Hoar asked how the appropriation bills
of this session compared with those of preceding
sessions with regard to the omission by the
House of Representatives, of the items of appro
priation absolutely necessary for the operations
of the Government depending upon the Repub
lican Senate to put them on.
Mr. Hale replied that in his opinion this prac
tice of the Senate found bills sent over from
the House fractional and incomplete. It would
find, for example, a page of regular estimates
on one-third of them on which have been left
out, while there was no difference in point of
merit between those omitted and those included.
This did give rise to the statements more or
less declamatory in another branch of the gov
ernment as to the extravagance of the Senate,
while the fact was th* Senate was very careful
to put in nothing that was not necessary to the
running of tbe government.

WEAVER SENSATION-
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE WONDERFUL CASE.
Tie Matter Not lo ie Fully Settled Until Mrs.
Weaver Arrives.
The Weaver-Pierce sensation still troubles
the public pulse.
J. Pierce Weaver, alias J. Pierce, is in Atlanta
and signified a willingness to remain here for
further identification, but is not well pleased
with the idea of meeting his first wife, Mrs.
Louisa E. Weaver.
This morning a Capitol reporter called on
Mr. Ladson and asked him what he knew fur
ther in the case.
“ Not a thing,” he replied. “We are waiting
to hear from Mrs. Weaver’s attorneys.
the Capitol’s club.
“Mr. Ladson,” asked The Capitol man,
“what was the first clve you had to lead to the
apprehension of Weaver ?”
“Well, you know, we were looking for him all
the while.”
“Yes, but what was the direct cause of his
arrest in Chattanooga ?”
“A letter I wrote to the Chattanooga Times.
As soon as I saw Cox had told a Capitol re
porter that Weaver had been employed in the
Times office I wrote and asked about it. The
reply gave me a clue to Weavers’ whereabouts,
and I went after him.”
From this it will be seem that The Capitol
made no idle boast when it said yesterday it
was the cause of Weaver being found.
MRS. WEAVER COMING.
Mr. Walter R. Brown, attorney for Mrs.
Weaver, said to a reporter, that he had received
a telegram from Indianapolis, saying that
Elijah Hedges and Mrs. Weaver would arrive
in Atlanta to-morrow night at 8 o’clock.
When Mr. Ladson heard this, he was appre
hensive that Weaver would leave the city it he
learned there was a probability of his meeting
his first wife.
“What will you do?” asked the reporter.
“I don’t know, but Weaver must be kept here
by all means.”
“Will you get out another warrant?”
“Yes, I will have to do that, but I hate to do
so, as I am really sorry for the poor man.”
“What will be tbe charge in the warrant ?”
“I can’t tell you. It is something you know
nothing about.’’
“When will you take out the warrant?”
“Before your paper comes out."
HE IS STILL MYSTIED.
“What do you think about your case, now,"
asked a reporter of Walter R. Brown, Esq.
“I i.m still mystified. You fellows omitted
to mention a very important matter which oc
curred yesterday morning.”
“What was it?”
“Don’t you recollect I showed the man a pho
tograph and asked him who it was?”
“Yes."
“And he said he thought it was his father-in
law?”
“Just so.”
“Well, that was not a picture of his father-in
law, but of a prominent and well-known citizen
of Indianapolis. If that fellow is Weaver he
ought to have known who it was at a glance.”
“You still doubt that tbe man is Weaver?”
“I do, and will not be convinced until Mrs.
Weaver comes.”
So the matter stands, and tbe concluding
chapters to tbe story will not be published until
Mrs. Weaver arrives.
