It Is said that one reason for his being deposed as president of the juinula Central was that ho paid more attention to planning for the develop ment of the Mississippi valley and the ether territory traversed by the road than He did to digging large profits from the road's patrons.

M. chook. of Nashville, Tenn., a member ;,f the International policyholders' ex ecutive committee: • The Harrlman Influence has deposed Mr Fish from the presidency of the Illinois Central railroad for the reason lhat Mr. Fish would not. as a member the I.ont»lale committee, agree to nuke a report of the affairs and man- ,semeut of tho Mutual Life Insurance Company • that did not state all the tarts When Mr. Pish asked for the Information that would enable him to lie this It was refused and he with drew from the committee. From that a.y the war has been waged against him relentlessly, until It resulted In de feating him for the presidency of tho meat railroad corporation that he has s„ wisely managed for thirty years for the stockholders and not for Wall street. Tho exalted position that Mr. Fish occupies makes him greater In defeat than he would have been In vlc- tory and points to him us the logical president of the Mutual Life Insurance c'ompanj'. with Mr. Pish as president .f this great company. Every one of the more than half a million policy holders will have a guarantee that tho Agents in Polities. Colonel Peel. In talking over the sit uation, tyso attacked the course of the administration element of the 'compa ny in having the agents of the compa ny work for their ticket. "The Georgia agents of the New York Mutual are being sent to every hamlet and cross-roads In the state working for tho administration ticket,' said Colonel Peel. “And I don't hesi tate to say that they are being paid out of tho policyholders' money. “All of these agents from whom I have heard have declared that they were paying their expenses out of their own pockets. I have made careful In vestigation In several cuses and have found that but few of them had means to make the canvass nt their own ex pense. Their avowRl that they are working for the administration ticket purely for love cannot but be untrue, therefore. “The imllcyholders would rebuke any agent making this canvass, for It cannot be made except nt their expense or out of the pocket of the administration candidates—and you know it's not coming from, the latter place. - “The llrst duty of the agent for mutual company Is to the policyhold ers and ho should not work against their Interests. The ballots which these agents are presenting In their canvass contain only the names of the admin istration candidates. This Is unfair, and I have advise of counsel that these votes can be made void If a person who has voted the ticket changes his mind, t have proxies for several changes to the united committees ticket already.” The proxies will be counted Decem ber 18. It Is the opinion of some of'the best posted policyholders that hardly flfty per cent of their number will vote. Many, confident that the company Is solvent whichever ticket wins, will not send In their proxies for either ticket.

Complaint* about delayed malls are being received constantly by L. M. Ter rell, superintendent of railway mall service, and special reports forwarded to Washington are responsible for the action qt the postal authorities in tak ing the, railroads to task for belated trains In the Southern divisions. During the month of October and the ten daya of November train No. 37, of the Southern railway, from New York to Atlanta, has never arrived In this city on schedule time. This Is con sidered the finest train run by this sys tem, but it has been from one to four hours late every day. It carries mall for Atlanta and th* southwest and con nections, as a rule, are lost a£ this terminal. ; _ *> * The reports sent to Washington by Superintendent Terrell are records of the lateness of the; malt trains and the causes leading-up, to the delays. Be fore the reports are sent In the rail road officials are given an opportunity to look Into the cases and make ex cuses. * May Improve Service. Unless the delays to the mail trains are unavoidable, the roads are fined by the postal authorities, the fines usually being assessed aepording^to the con tract price for carrying Jhe mail. Local officials believe that (tie recent an nouncement, from headquarters that the fines would be enforced will have a tendency to better the service. “The railroads claim,” said Super intendent Terrell Saturday morning, “that they are doing everything to get their mail trains in on time, a* It Is as much to their Interest to do as it is to carry out their-contracts with the department. “It seems to be a very difficult mat ter to get trains through on thne where the road is single-tracked. Freight trains am constantly getting in the way, and there seems to be no way to avoid the constant ,delays. “The railroads give various excuses. They claim bad coftl Is the cause some times. and again their connecting lines do not deliver trains on time. It seems that tho trains are overloaded in most instances. It may be that It may re sult In more trains being put on. “The business seems to have grown faster than the roads can care for It. The country Is prosperous; tho mails are growing very fast, and they are heavier now than they have ever been. Tho officials clnLn that they are do ing everything within their power to get the trains In' on time, and it Is possible that some relief may come within the Immediate future.” 7" Deaths and Funerals. Talks About Injunction and Other Railroad Matters. “The unwarranted act of the butt headed officials of Uie Louisville and Nashville Is Just the kind that prevents other and better corporations from re ceiving just treatment.” This Is the way In which Mayor Woodward delivered himself In dis cussing the injunction againkt the city and the mayor obtained by the Qeorgfa Railroad and Banking Company. The Injunction restrains the closing up of the entrances to 'the wagon yards of the road on Bast Hunter street, be tween Piedmont avenue and Butler street. “The Louisville and Nashville always wants the city to do something for it and wants It immediately, but when It conies time for the Louisville and Nashville to do something itself, which nilfht In any way be of public benefit, then the officials kick and wiggle and snort. * “We closed up those entrances months ago because as a result of the constant passing of the heavy freight wagons. East Hunter street, between the Atlanta Paper Mills and Butler otrect, was becoming impassable. The streets were torn'up and It was danger ous to go along there. Closed Crossings. “The city closed the crossings. The railroad kicked and snorted. As a re sult, council opened up three of the six entrances, with the provision that the road pave the sidewalk with con crete, vitrified brick, or some hard pavement, lay the curbing and move the abuttnients further In. “The road’agreed to this and uil looked well. Here now. months have passed and these things have not been done. I Just simply got tired of it. I called the committee together and Fri day morning we went out there. “I told the officials' that more than three months had gone since they agreed to fix those crossings, and they had hardly turned a hand. I warned them if the work was not done mighty soon I was going to close up the en trances again. • “Then they took out this Injunction. The work could have been done in three weeks, and at little expense. They agreed to it. More than three months have gone and It Is further from being done now than It was when council took action. “They enjoin me from trying to mako them do what they solemnly agreed to do months ago. This 1s a pretty state of affairs.” The hearing will be had November 17 at 9 o'clock. KENTUCKY REVOKES LICENSE OF MUTUAL Lexington, Ky., Nov. 10.—State In. surnnee Commissioner Henry R.

I shall, therefore, revoke the parole given to you, and you wifi to morrow be.taken back to Michigan City prison to serve out your life sentence." These words from the lips of Gov ernor Hanly closed one of the moat dramatic scenes that ever occurred in the executive chambers. They were addressed to the Rev. William E. Hln- shaw, who murdered his wife in 1895, and who was paroled. wronged husband complained to the governor. Hlnshaw was arrevted and all the witnesses were before tho executive, Including Hlnslmw. G. Freeman, sheriff-elect of Amherst county, was the first witness. With bowed head and tears streaming from his eyes, he told of the discovery of his wife's infidelity, how she had gone to I visit a sister, taking her 3-year-old son with her, and how she had met Hln shaw. Then came the confession of the wife, following the receipt of an anon ymous letter and the husband'* In vestigations. Jllnshaw at first denied bitterly the charges against him. but at last con fessed they wore true. It developed that he and Mrs. Freeman had been sweetheart* In their youth, and they had corresponded since his release from prteon, and thot the woman had gone to visit her sister for the purpose of meeting him. As soon as the confession was made Governor Hanly uttered the words that condemned Ilinshaw to prison to servo out the life sentence under which ho lived. As soon as Hlnshaw reached the jail he offered a “trusty" $10 If he w'ould get him some poison. The offer was promptly reported to the officers, and precautions were taken to prevent the minister from taking his own life. ! rutahnipt turuips, P.fcr. FLOUR.

Ragsdale, although he could not produce the necessary $10 collateral to Insure Ills appearance In police court this morning, mode an tndlgnan^ pro test against being locked up In a cell* “like a common criminal.” Not being satisfied with causing a panic In the hearts of two young wom en, whotif he conversed with on F street yesterday, when he is alleged to have been Intoxicated, Ragsdale, after being placed under arrest, challenged the po liceman to a duel with 44-calibre re volvers at ten paces. “I admit that I w'a* drinking," he said, “but I was not disorderly. Good Lord, man, can’t a Houthern gentleman indulge In a toddy without being sub jected to such an Indignity? I drank to sooth my nerves, as I was greatly excited over a duel which occurred Thursday In Mississippi, and In which J. M. D. Money, u nephew of my cousin. United States Senator Money, and also ousln of Governor Vardaman and myself, shot and killed a planter named L. J. Henderson. Not having received any word personally regarding the conflict I was naturally perturbed when I read the account of the duel. That got me started, but I was not offensive abusive.” STOCKS AND BONDS.
