MIS- Fechter's union is pronounced to be
perfectly regular according TO the laws OF this

less lavish in the expenditure OF money
His purse was always open TO a friend, or,

lived high and drank the most expensive liquors.
Even the farm hands and tradesInen among the
Pennsy ylvania Dutch where he lived took advan-
careless business habits to overcharge him and
cheat him Systematically. Work and materials

FRAUDS IN GEoRGrA-Sorne Scandalous RE-
mOTs-Seueral State Departments TO be Inuesti-
Cated.-The following is telegraphed from At.
lanta, Ga: The recent discoveries OF fraud in
Controller General Goldsmfth's Office, and that
officers subsequent impeachment, causes the
legislature to look suspiciously on other state
departments. This morning the House paSse1
bill directing the speaker to appoint at once
committees TO investigate fully the state treas
ury department, the state agricultural school
commissioners Office. and the office OF the
keeper OF the penitentiary. The committees
have been appointed, and win go 70 work at
once. All sorts OF rumOrs are afoat, but Ia
view OF the recent discoveries, may be exag-
gerated. At any rate, there is strong dispo-
sit1on to investigate fully the affairs or all state
officers, and II there is the least frregularity It
will be brought % light. Ex-Governor Bullock
publishes card In the Constituti ~ this morn
Ing denying the statement that Georgia repub.
licanS rejoice over the discoveries OF fraud Ia q
democratic administration. He says that re-
publicans are as ashamed to see their state dis
honored as democrats can be. Atlanta has been
full OF gossip and Official scandal since the re-
markable developments last week. The press
ard people all over the state demand thorough
investigation OF every Office except those OF gov
ernor and secretary OF state; these seem above
suspicion.
