(OUT CONSENT
In a decision reversing Judge Par
ker's refusing to Issue an Injunction
against the Atlantic and Birmingham
Railway Company, the supreme court
holds that the road has no right to
change Its location without express
legislative authority.
Brown and others brought action th
local superior court to prevent the At
lantic and Birmingham from tearing
up eighteen miles of road between
Buahnell and Ocllla. The company de-
sired to change Ite route, and the plain
tiff* held that abandonment of the line
would seriously harm the Interests of
parties concerned.
It Is held by the supreme court:
“Where a railroad company, lo which
has been given the power to choose Ita

termini, has exercised Its discretion In
this regard. It* power of choice Is ex
hausted, and It cannot subsequently
change Its location without express

DEMAND NOW MADE
FOR INVESTIGATION
Mr. Williams' 8pe*ch.
Inmates of the home shall not be so
Identified as to enable any attache of
the home to know what fevldqnce is
given by any partloila) Inmates.
"Second, The trustees shall within
twenty-four hours after the hearing
give to the press and to me a copy
of their findings.
*%cannot and I hope the trustees will
not make any charge against the state
for services or expenses In this con
nection.
“Conditions Ac# a Disgracs."
"In addition to tbo charges ipade, _
state here and beg to be put to the
proof that the present condition of the
home Is a disgrace to Georgia. It has
been recently stated In the public print
that they are given the beat of grocer
ies. Butter served In the Institution
yesterday was the vilest concoction
ever called butter. It was absolutely
unfit for a human being to eat. The
syrup was no better. The clothing
worn by the Inmates Is the cheapest
stuff obtainable. Their sylts for sum
mer and winter being two-piece suits
of cottonade made by manufacturers
of overalls. Jersey cows are kept on
thd premises, but not one particle of
genuine butter, nor a drop of milk ever
reaches the veterans.
"This Institution, Mr. Speaker, is
filled with men, who by virtue of ser
vices rendered have a first claim on
Georgia’s bounty; its high, Its holy
purpose reflects eternally honor upon
the pure soul patriots who gave It be
ing. He who can feed, vulture-like,
on such an Inatltutlon must be vile In
deed, but I charge It is being done now
and beg to be put to the proof.”
Committee’s Report.
The annual committee report on the
Boldlers' Home, presented to the senate
Monday morning, was as follows:
Mr. President—Your special commit
tee appointed under resolution of the
senate and house of representatives to
investigate the sanitary condition and
management of the Confederate Sol
diers' Home of Georgia^ beg to submit
the following report:
1. Your committee visited the home
.on the 7th day of August, 180$, and
found about ninety Inmates present,
eight of these being In the hospital.
Several soldiers not Included In this
number were out on leaves of absence.
The following officers were reportod to
us as being in charge: Captain, R. L.
Barry, superintendent; Joseph Whittle,
lieutenant; W. B. Clements, clerk; J.
M. Mills, first corporal; E. W. Hughes,
second corporal: J. F. Brooks, third
corporal; William DeJamett, fourth
corporal: John L. Maddox, watchman;
Mrs. John Maddox, matron; Mrs. Belle
Reed, stewardess; Mrs. C. E. McDan
iel, hospital nurse.
2. There are fifty-three living rooms.
In the home building, all occupied.
These rooms have only the ordinary
fireplaces for burning coal for heating
purposes. The building Is a two-story
brick structure with thin walls, wRh
no elevator accommodations, nor any
means of escape from fire from the sec
ond story. The hospital for the sick
and Invalid soldiers Is kept on the soc-
ond floor of the building.
2. We found the culinary department
fairly clean and In good condition. We
found the meats and other articles of
food fairly well adapted.
4. The Closets nnd sewers we found
In a bad and unwholesome condition
—unclean and Insanitary.
6 We found the clothing furnished
the soldiers for this season of the year
well adapted to their need* and com
fort. However, the winter suits shown
us for the use were slightly too light
for the comfort, especially of the ad
vanced age of the most of the Inmates
: the home. .
Your committee begs |o recommend
the following Improvements • to the
board of trustees:
1. That an executive committee be
appointed by said board, the majority
of whom shall reside as near as practi
cable to the home, whose duty general
ly shsll be to exercise sn immediate
management and control of the home
and Ita Inmate* and report the condl-
tlons of same annually to said general
board In Writing, and who shall be
clothed with such executive authority
as Is necessary for an efficient dis
charge of the practical management of
th *Ve OI further recommend that semi
annual reports, showing itemised state
ments of all receipts and disburse
ments. be made to the governor of the
**i|*We recommend that the superin
tendent be directed to Immediately pro
ceed to have the closets and sewers of
the home put In a clean and sanitary
condition and that the weeds growing
up around and near the building be cut
away, and lime and other disinfectants
scattered around the building.
I We recommend that the hospital
removed from the second story to
me right-hand wing of the building
from the front. This change we deem
imperative, because the sick and Invalid
Inmates kept as they are on the second
story would be the helpless victims of
a conflagration In case of fire, as they
now have no means of escape from
such contingencies.
The need of a hospital with modern
conveniences we deem very necessary
because all of the old soldier Inmates
II sooner or later, and that will not
uo many years at best, have to go there.
Respectfully submitted,

Chairman Senate Committee.

A GHOST STORY.
By EDDY BULTH.
It may be about ten years ago. I
was still studying law, but had come
home to spend the summer vacation
with my parents.
There was quite a crowd of young
people who gathered In the house
every evening, and It was always vsrjr
late before we parted.
One beautiful summer evening, when
about a dosen of us ware sitting to
gether, we began to talk of ghost sto
ries, and several of the young men
told the things which, they assured us,
had happened to themselves.
I remember that 1 boasted that I pos
sessed an unusual faculty of being
able to make the spirits In tbe other
world appear and talk whenever I
liked, and I stalled when I saw how
the young girls shrunk back from ms
In terror. . ....
"Nothing Is more simple, I said,
‘and any one of you can do It. All
you have to do Is to go all alone at
midnight to the cemetery, over to the
corner where the suicides are buried,
and when you make a sign the spirits
appear and tell you whatever you
Mrant*
Everybody laughed and said they did
not believe It. .. . .
"But the trouble Is,". I sold, "that
you are too cowardly to try the thing
yourselves, and yet I dare any one of
you to do It."
Little Ellae, the only daughter of our
neighbor lookevf " ’
’ at me with her dark
"I do not believe In your stupid
stories." she said, "and just because 1
do not believe In them, I am not
afraid to go to that corner of the cem
etery all alone at midnight."
"Oh, It I* easy enough for any one
to say so, but how will you prove af
terward that you have really been
there?" asked Henry, another young
student.
"I shall prove It to you,” cried El
sie. "I will go there this very night,
and I will take with me a knife, which
I will stick Into the grave of the old
shoemaker Ertmer, who killed himself
last monti. You remember the one
whose body was found In tho river.
Hi* grave is tn the most lonesome cor
ner of the cemetery, and that's why I’ll
go there"
I began to get a little uneasy. I
had not thought that the joke should
be carried out so far. and I tried In
every way to persuade the girl from
varying out her Intention, end wee

joined by the other young men, hut It
was no use; she Insisted on going.
To make sure that nothing should
happen to her, we young men decided
to follow her at some distance and see
what she did. and about 11:10 we bid
In the bushes outside her patients'
house, still hoping that she would not
come.
It was about 12:16 when we saw her
_.«nd*r figure open the door and walk
quickly In the direction of the ceme
tery.
We followed her at some distance,
and saw how she hesitated a moment
at the entrance to the cemetery, and
with difficulty opened the heavy gsle
and slipped Inside.
Everything wss quite still for s
while, and we sat outside because
we were afraid she would discover us
If we went too close or heard us com
ing. We waited and walled and
thought that now she must be bark,
and then we would carry her In
triumph to her house.
.Suddenly a terrible cry rang out,
which made the blood freese In our
vein*. Then everything was quiet.
For a few moment* we were too terri
fied to move, but then we ran as fast
as we could arross the remetery to
ward the corner of the suicides.
Kllse was lying unconscious serose
the wrave of the shoemaker, and In
her terror she had dug her fingers Into
the sod.
We tried to lift her up, but It seem
ed as though Invisible hands held her,
and because of the darkness, the moon
having passed behind a cloud, we could
not make out what It was.
At last the moon came out again, and
we could see what It' wss. In her
hurry to stick the knife which was
to be proof of her courage Into the
ground, she bad stuck tt through the
bottom of her skirt, and as she tried
to rise. It held her down. The ter
ror had caused her to faint, nnd she
was still unconscious when we, car
rying her In our arms, reached her
house. The physician was called, but
could not do anything, and a few days
later she died. Since then I believe In
ghost stories.

Hundreds of persons, out for a day's
pleasure reached their homes early to
day with their fares cut and bleeding,
bodies sore and bruised and their
clothes torn, victims of the Inspectors
and special officers hired by the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.
Tens of thousands of persons were
held prisoners on train* and trolley
cars that were blockaded, while In

andi hurled Into the road.
Children Thrown Off Cars.
Children, whose parents had object

the cars like sacks of wheat. Women
were Insulted and brutally Ireated.
Thousands who had paid their ex

never been seen before In Brooklyn.
Thousands were compelled to spend
the night at Coney Island, and many
slept on the sands.
Hundreds of damage suits against
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
are expected.
100,000 Are Marooned.
More than 200 policemen were un
able to keep the peace, and despite the

any break In the blockade, and then
there waa a string of cars nearly five

OHIO CLERGYMAN FACES
TRIAL OF HERESY CHARGE
Rev. Dr. George Cox
May Join Unitar
ian Church.
Special to The Georgian.
Cincinnati,, Aug. II.—Dr. George
Clark Cox, rector of Calvary Episco
pal Church, Clifton, who renounced
Episcopal doctrines In a letter to Rsv.
Boyd Vincent, bishop of sonttiern Ohio,
and who now faces trial for heresy,
may enter the Unitarian church.
George Thayer, paetor of the First
Unitarian Church, Avondale, admits
that Dr. Cox had discussed with him
a change of faith, and he says the
views now entertained by Dr, Cox are
essentially Unitarian,
Causes a Sensation.
The report that Dr. Cox, the "little
minister” of fashionable Calvary
Church, stands In grave danger of be
ing deposed upon Ills return next month
from his vacation, has created a sen
satlon In Episcopal Church circles.
Just before Dr. Cox left on hts va
cation he wrote a letter to Bishop Vin
cent In which he set forth his views
and compared his own case to that
of Rev. Dr. Crapsey, whoso trial for
heresy attracted attention nil over the
world.
Mutt Fees Charges.
The bishop Is spending the summer
In Nova Scotia and will take no action,
It Is said, until his return to Cincin
nati In the autumn. I’romlnent Epis
copal clergymen here say It Is Inevit
able that Dr. Cox face charges of here
sy. That Is the only way, they say, to
decide whether a clergyman has a right
to hold views opposed to the teach
ings of the church and still remain
In the ministry..
Made Priest In 1890.
In his Isttsr to the bishop, Dr. Cox
declares his unbelief In the virgin birth
of Christ and His bodily resurrection
from the dead. The doctrine' of origi
nal sin, as sat fortii In the prayer book.
Dr. Cox strenuously denies. He says
he sympathises fully with Dr. Crapsey.
Dr. Cox was made a priest of the
Protestant Episcopal Church In 1890 by
Bishop Henry Potter, New York. Ills
first charge was Holy Trinity Church,
Harlem.
