The result of the conference was kept very quiet and news of It did not transpire until Tuesday. official confirmation could not be ob Kilned Tuesday from any of the rail way men In Atlanta, all declining to talk for publication. The news Is straight, however. The entire shake-up - Is caused by (he retirement of Brooks Morgan, who has, since the promotion of W. H. Tay- loe to the position pt general passenger agent, been In charge of the Atlanta division. Mr. Morgan will become a member of the manufacturing firm of the Frank E Block Company, making crackers, cakes, candles, wholesale groceries, etc. His success In the rail' road world has been phenomenal, and he Is perhaps the youngest railroad man In the country, occurring a post tlon of relative responsibility.

Oa., July 17.—While on the way down here yesterday after noon William Travers Jerome was shown The New York Sun's now fa mous political forecast that the next governor of New York will be a Demo crat and that the next governor of New York will be the next president of the United States. Mr. Jerome was standing on the front end of the sleeping car talking to Mr. Garvan and Mr. Vandiver. He looked at the clipping and smiled, but said nothing, nor would he say any thing on the subject. Mr. Vandiver volunteered the sug gestion that the reporter look at The Brooklyn Eagle of the same day at the Issue of The Sun containing the edi torial, which, by the way, was without a heading, and double leaded, at the top of the first column of the page. The editorial of The Eagle discussed at length, to the extent of a column and a half, the significance of such an editorial la The Sun, and the prophet ic 'nature of the simple statements made so terse and to the point. It was noted, too, that on the front page tha same Issue of The Sun appeared story to the effect that Hearat would run on a ticket of nla own, whether nominated by any party or not. This feeler by The Eagle, which was en tlrely noncommittal, by the way, In ferred that The Sun meant none other at Warm Springs, and wll address hers Thursday morning before the Georgia Bar Association. Mr. Jerome'a reticence as to himself and hla own political affairs Is quits noticeable. Despite his remarkable race of the last campaign, ha has llttls to say of New .York political conditions, and his notice of The Sun editorial was expressed merely In a smile.

Mrs. Marcum, widow of the murdered man, wept over the verdict. Beta were freely made last night by friends of the defendants that they would be acquit ted In less than half an hour after the Jury retired.

It war commented on that while Beattyvllle le In a Republican county, every member of the Jury a Demo crat and Jurge Hargis Is a member of the Democratic state central commit tee.
