This announcement tree made last
night by Mr. Taft, who said:
"General Funeton was summoned on
a hurry Call frdm the Pacific coast be
cause ■ he Vas well acquainted with
many of the Insurgent chiefs here and
It was thought he could aid us, as he
did greatly In bringing the men In arms
to an agreement. General Funeton was
put temporarily In command of the
troops In Cuba merely as a convenience
until General Bell should arrive. Gen
eral Funston, Mr. Bacqn and myself,

‘SILENT” SMITH, RICH BACHELOR,
TO WED WELL KNOWN DIVORCEE
Mayor Hopes To Pay Off
Debts Without Much
Culling Off.
EAGLE EYE HAD HEAP
BIG DRUNK; PALE FACE
OFFICER CAPTURES HIM
It appears that before' he goes out
of ofllce Mayor Woodward will be able
_ . _ .. , . .. to scrape together enough cash to help
Yesterday waa the anniversary-of thei , d ,, navln » „rr .i.., .jo ana
outbreak of the ten-years' war In 1888. 1 * * **• Wing oil that 140,000,
- - — - which he doean t want to carry over
for Chief Joyner to settle when
takes the mayor's ohalr.
After the decision of the supreme
court that the Vlrglnla-Carollna Chem
ical Company owed the county <18.-
000 on notes and accounts, and the
payment or this amount to thq county
this week. Mayor Woodward, decided,
that the city had 120,000 coming from
the same source and directed City
Tax Investigator Biedge Collier to take
steps toward collecting the money.
And that Is not all. The mayor Is
going after other people, who owe the
city money for the same reason.
"A lot of people and corporations
only report for taxation such nota and
accounts as they are caught with,"
said tie, Thursday morning. Acting on
the decision of the courts that such
assets are the same as money, an ef
fort will bo made to get the city's
share.
Another source from which he ex
pects to derive sonu revenue for the
city Is on forfeitures on contractors'
bonds, as stated In The Georgian a
few days ago.
Oliver & company, who have the
contrect for the building of the north
approach to the Washington street
viaduct at *60,1*0. and Grant Wilkins,
who his the contract for the south ap
proach and the steel work over the
railroad yards at »86,180, provide In
tlielr bonds for the forfeiture of *50
per day' for every day’s delay In tho
completion of their work after De
cern her 1.
It is probable that they will not be
throjgh by the date specified and
some cash will therefore come from
that source. In addition to this some
sewer contractors have fallen down on
their work and the city will proceed
again it their bondsmen.
The city has already appropriated
*50,000 for the viaduct work, the rail
road Is responsible for *57,000, and the
mayor hoc agreed that If the
committee van rake together »l»,S.o
for the payment of the rest of tho
contract price h«. will agree to let go
over the remainder of the *40,000 his
administration owes.
It appears that with the additional
sources of revenue mentioned above,
which were not counted , cm/by the
committee, they will liable W-jneet
the ilemarid of the chief eXefirttvc of
the city .without cramping any of tho
departments. ; ' ’ , ' . .'/

dccurrence. A man who attempted‘to

Rogers street. Tuesday night, waa
trailed for more than an hour by
hounds, but the troll waa finally lost
In the business center of town. The
miscreant left hla shoes on the porch
of the home and when taken to the
scene the hounds at once took the ne
gro’s track and followed it In devious
windings until the brick pavement was
reached up town. Only a couple of
nights ago the ladles of a prominent
family were terribly frightened by the
finding of a negro under a bed In the
home. There were no men at the home
and the two young ladles ran scream
ing into the yard, when the negro
quickly made his escape.
NO NEW GOVERNOR
FOR TIIE CANAL ZONE
Findlay, Ohio, Oct. it.—Much legal
argument and little actual progress
marked the second day of the trial
ot the Standard Olr Company of Ohio
for "conspiracy against trade." The
argument wae caused by the objection
of the attorneys for the Standard oil
Company to the character of evidence
sought to be placed before the Jury by
the prosecution. In every Instance,
however, the ruling ot Judge Banker
favored the prosecution.
Testimony of John D. Rockefeller,
given In 1898 In the litigation against
the Standard Oil trust, before the su
preme court of the state, was admit
ted and carefully read to the Jury.
Mrs. Ida M. Butts, the first witness
of the trial, was then called to the
stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the
step-daughter of the late George M.
Rice, an Independent oil refiner of Ma
rietta, Ohio, and was the executrix of
his estate. She produced scrip show-
Ing title to fractional shares of the
stock In all the twenty subsidiary com
panies of the original trust.

greatest calamity the people of Ala
bama at this, time of the year, they are
suffering now from the effects ot ths
recent storlb," said Commissioner of

Commissioner Poole says the plant
ers were hard hit and more so than one
would Imagine. He haa Just returned
front his large plantation In Marengo
county, and he says his crops are In a
very poor condition. He stated that
100 acres of his land planted In cotton
had been under water twice.
"The cotten crop has been dsmnged
25 per cent" «nld Mr. Poole, "I think
the farmers had gathered about half,
and half of the ungathered crop Is
ruined. Of course, some planters suf
fered more than others, but the general
average of damage done will be about
25 per cent.
"The corn crop haa been damaged 10
to 20 per cent.
"Cotton seed has been ruined and a
grave question now with the farmet Is
where will he get hla seed to plant
next year."
Mr. Poole states that the cotton crop
Alabama will hardly bo 1,000,000
bales this year, when last year it was
over 1,250,000.
