is as of precious stones. Like a
Madonna of Raphael, the more
you study it the more you are
enraptured by it. AS it is ex-
amined, the most gifted orator
is before you. You seem to
hear anew his deep-toned and
wonderfully euphonic voice.
You feel again his rapturous
enthusiasm and overpowering
emotion. You catch new scin-
citations of beauty dropping
from q great soul. His humane
spirit sets your heart aglow
with love for humanity. His
great faith in God and Christ
fixes you to the Eternal Rock"

THE SINKING FUND.

"The constitution of 1877 provided that
after the payment of these bonds there
shall be raised by taxation each year the
sum of 800, 900 in addition to the sum re-
quired to pay the public expenses and inter
est on the public debt, which shall be held
as a sinking fund to pay OFF and retire the
bonds not yet matured, and for
no other purpose whatever. The
last of the Nutting bonds matured
and were paid in 1887, and the legislature in
session in 1885 was required by Q consti-
tuition TO levy this tax for 1SS7-SS to com
mence this sinking fund. A separa' bill
for that purpose was passed, and in the ses-
sion in 1887 the funding bill for the bonds
issued in 1888 was arranged so that these
new bonds matured in series of 100000
each year, 50 as to absorb the sinking fu d
Of the preceding year, and thus escape an
accumulation in the treasury.
"Undoubtedly this requirement Of the
constitution and its prompt ful1illment
by the legislature of 1857 has contributed"
Can't Gordon said, toward the change in
feeling in the financial world concerning
the credit Of Georgia. 1t is likely that the
requisite sinking fund bill will be passed by
this legislature wit out opposition, unless
the members hostile to technology and the
increased amount appropriated 10 common
schools attack it. And even If there should
be some opposition, | think it will pass"

WAITING FOR THE REPORT.
The Democra tic Executive Commit
tees investigation.

The Democratic Executive Commit
tees investigation.
The investigation into the conduct of the
legislative candidates was the general topic
yesterday. 1t was talked about by every
one. The report of Thursday nights inveS-
tigation, as published in the MORNING NEWS
of yesterday, was conceded to be a fair
resume of the testimony, and yet, owing to
the lateneSs of the hour of revision one or
two inaccuracies crept in. The word mot"
was inadverten ly dropped from the state
ment of Mr. Pritchard that the Morse
| tickets ''were not made up in Gordon q
Co.'s office" and Mr.. Bloodworth's state
| ment should have read that be would have
| scratched Clifton's name after learning that
some of the latter friends were scratching
Gordon, il Capt. Gordon had lot asked hun
to vote the straight ticket
The admissions of Mr.. Driscoll, that he
had at n club meeting, urged the members
to scratch the names of Gordon and Reilly,
and had done so in other places, and that on
the day of the election he had distributed
tickets with Gordon and Reilly's names
scratched, and had urged his friends to vote
them, is considered very damaging testi-
mony against a member of the democratic
executive commi tee, who moved the reso
luton of inquiry against the men whom Le
llt1u llCh.
The inve tigating committee will make
its report t. the democratic county execu-
tive committee next Tuesday night NJ.
w. G.. Charlton chairman Of the executive
committee, said yesterday that under the
resolution the invest eating committee will
be expecte to make its report then, and
that the executive committee will b eX-
rected to pass upon the report Of the first
committee which investigated the action of
and also of the second COMM tee.
Mr.. Isaiah Solomon, who presided at the
SEQ d, and most important meeting Of the
committee which investigated the conduct
If the legislative candidates, said that lie
know no reason why bis committee will not
be prepared to report Tuesday. he was
not prepared, however, to anticipate the
report. l. might be possible, he said, that
majority and a minority report would be
submitted 1t was inferred that Capt.
Cord n and Col. Reilly have no reason to
fear that as far as Mr.. solomon is con-
cerned their vindicatiou will be complete.
Capt. Gordon had a stenographer present
at the Investigation, and ali the testimony
taken wednesday and Thursday
nights, oral and documentary, has
been preserved. This includes the
vigorous pretaory rem1rks of Capt
Gordon to his sworn statement, which was
published in the MORNING News of yester-
day. 1t is believed that the entire testi-
mony will be given to the public in some
shape, either by Capt. Cord IN or his friends,
and certainly so If the vindica ion of him
self and Col. Reilly is not complete by the
action of the county executive committee,
which will finally pas no III the matter.

HE WORKED THE TELEPHONE.
The Slick Game that William Mat
thews Played over the Wires.

The Slick Game that William Mat
thews Played Over the Wires
William Matthews (colored) adopted an
original and ingenious plan to put money
in his purse, but unfortunately it was
nipped in the bud. and he escaped prosecu-
ton by reason of his diseased condition,
which appealed to the sympathy of tho>e
whom he had defrauded, Matthews being a
victim to consumption.
One night about week ago Matthews
went to Hawkins mill on Wheaton street,
and telephoned to A. Ehrlich & Bro. for
figures on a tub Of good butter in the name
Of Capt. r. g. Flemi &. After some
sticking on the price, Matthews said over
the telephone that he would send a wagon
down for it, W ich he did, and when he re-
ceivtd 1t, he sold it to VI S. Anna Nelson, at
No 81 Price street, for less than its value
On Wednesday, Matthews, elated over
his first venture, again telephoned to
Enrich & Bro, representing Capt. Flem-
ing, that he liked the butter so well that he
wanted to try their ralsins, and asking for
prices. He also wante to know what 10
pound bag of mixed nuts would cost.
Ehrlich & Bro. telephoned that the nu
came in 25-pound bags, and after some
b ggling as to price, Matthews concluded to
take them, ana ordered, in addition, a case
broke the camers back. Mr.. Ehrlich
removed the 'phcne from his ear,
and turning toward the boys in the i,e,
d bOusly inquired. "What the does
Capt. Fleming want with case of salmonW
Mr.. EhFlich became very sIlsp icious, and
when II boy was sent down for Matthew
order, the goods were refused without a
written orde' from Capt. Fleming. Romeo
Bailey, driver of a street. wagon. was next
sent for the goods, but Ehrlich 81 Bros. by
this time had learned that Capt Fleming
had not ordered nor received any butter,
and Bailey was refused the goods. This
was at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, at
which time the matter was placed in the
hands of Detective Wetherhorn, and by IL
o'clock he had tracked Matthews down and
recovered the butter. 1t was quick work,
and when Mat news was taken TO Justice
Molina's office his prosecutors, seeing his
physical weakness, out of sheer pity re-
fused to have a warrant taken out, and on
counscis motion the invalid was discharged.
1t is thought that this is not the first
effort of Matthews to work the telephone
Last week J. S. Collins 81 Co, received an
order over the telephone, ostensoly from
Capt. Fleming, for fifty doz IN eggs, aud
the order stagger d Mr.. Collins What
Capt. Fleming wanted with fifty dozen
eggs, and Easter four months of was a
puzzler and for the purpose of solving the
conundrum the real Capt. Fleming was
rung up, and il response to ali inquiry he
denied having ordered the eggs. This is
the last Collins s. Co. heard from the egg
order.

from Chief Wylly, of tho Macon police,

hunting Lee, and that when they arrest
him the Off ials here will be notified.
Sheriff Roman said that when Lee is ar
rested-if he is-that he will send deputy
up at once to bring him to Savannah.
Lee is the negro who shot the three col
ored mon two weeks ago in a barroom on

ousy wounding Peter Battise. II was
rumored in tho locality in which
the affray took place that Lee
was skulking around the city and had
made threats to the effect tuat he would
kill the men whom he had shot before he
left. Chief Green saws the report gained
no credence in police circles. as he secured
the city for the negro for several days after

"TWC OLD CRONIES."
The Attraction at the Theater This
Afternoon and Tonight.

Inc AJCraCClOn at the Tl0at6r InlS
Afternoon and Tonight.
"Two Old Croniesn will be the attraction
at the theater this afternoon and tonight.
The company is better and funnier than
ever and in sreaking of the play the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
"When the curtain rose on the stage at
Havlin's theater it was handsomely set for
the first act of the 1.-TWO Old Cronie,. "
Hardly had the music Of the overture died
away when the members of the cast came
on and commenced one of the most comical
and entertaining productions that
has been given in this house in a long time.
The piece is all that has
Ueen claimed for it-full OF
laughter and healthy humor The
light framework or plot was strained
20 its utmost tens on to hold the great load
Of funny business, music, specialties, dane
ing, singing, witticism, and all the other
thousand and one details that ter into the
makeup of the popular farce-c jmedy of the
day tina it had to bear In other words,
the piece is fairly loaded down with the
sweetest morsels of the comedy sta re, and
the entire performance fairly bristles with
the new and novel thing that have been
introduced, all of which please che eye and
fancy. An honest summing up of the en-
tertainment would be to say that it is one
of the most popular and artistic and mGsi-
cal burlesque ext avaganzas on the stage.
