acquainted with the peculiarities of
the negro race, thought no more
about it and rode over to Mr.. Rab
Hargrove's house, transacted his
business with him and returned
home. He describes the negro as
being black, about 5 feet s inches
high, high cheek bones, and wearing
dark gray clothes.
The same negro was seen by Mr..
Tom Cochran to pass through Col
onel helms farm in rapid run,
looking back occasionally as if he
expected some one to be in pursuit.
His suspicious speed and actions
caused Mr.. Cochran to remark:
"That negro has committed some
crime"
Parties on tracking the negro
found that he had thrown away his
vest, coat and hat. He was seen to
cross the Chattahoochee river, on
the county bridge, as if making his
way toward Atlanta.
A negro by the name of Jim
Brown, who had worked for Mrs.
Hargrove last summer, but forged
an order on a storekeeper and had
to skip, is suspicioned as the guilty
party. He was fully conversant
with Mrs. Hargrove's habits and her
custom Of carrying her money about
her waist. He fills the description
of the negro seen by Col. Thomas.
Browns wife and boy moved to At
lanta and it is believed he is hiding
there.
Another negro, John Albert, who
worked for Mrs. Hargrove last year
but who with his family subsequent
ly moved to Atlanta, is strongly
suspicioned. In fact Mr.. Lee, who
lives below Smyrna and we'll &C
quainted with Albert, says he will
swear, that the coat found, is John
AlbeIt's coat. It has been learned
also that Albert, since the murder,
bought a ticket at Decatur and
boarded the cars for South Carolina.
Efforts are being made to locate AL
bert. This lifts the suspicion some
what from Brown, although not en-
tirely. The description of Col.
Thomas fits Brown very well. Mr..
Pink Stephens measured the track
OF the fleeing murderer and it is a
No. 8 shoe, which is about the size
Of Browns foot, while it is said AL
bert wears No. ~. 1t is known,
however, that Albert had made
threats against Mrs. Hargrove ow-
ing to an unsatisfactory settlement
about the crop both were Jointly IN
terested in.
The boldness of the crime and the
mystery that surrounds it, is re-
markable.
Governor Gordon has offered
reward of $3.50 for the arrest of the
murderer, the Hargrove family 500
making $3.50 reward, and it is hoped
that this will stimulate detectives
and result in the capture of the
murderer.

A Murray county man recently
left home to make q visit to the low
er part OF the county with the inten-
ton of purchasing a farm that was
offered for sale. He very foolishly
left $1,000 slowed away in the bot
tom of an old fashioned trunk at
home, the accumulation of several
years of honest toll, and the sum he
proposed expanding on the farm he
had gone to inspect. During his
absence his wife locked up the house
and went over to spend the night
with a neighbor, distant about
mile. Neither thought of the posi-
bility of fire or burglars. When
they returned the following day
they found their home a shoulder
ing heap of ashes, and all that was
left of the thousand dollars was a
few shapeless pieces of molten silver
and the iron handles of the trunk
that had been a treasure trove.
Judge W. B. Thomas says that it
is remarkable what an amount of
money is virtually lying idle in New
York seeking investment. During
recent visit, Judge Thomas called
on physician, who has been teach
ing system of cultivating the
memory, and he told him that he
had s450,000 invested in a security
company, on which he was receiving
but two and one-helf per cent. in
terest per annum. Money never
commands more than six per cent.
in New York, and gilt-edge security
never has to pay that much. There
is no trouble in inducing capital to
seek more profitable fields if the
owners can be convinced that the
proposed investment is safe. Dur
ing the next ten years millions of
this unproductive wealth will be
spent in developing the~ mstchEess
resources of Northeast Georgia.

DEEP KATER

There is no question at present attract
ing as much attention in Texas and the
great northwest as the question of deep
water on the Texas coast, and the senti-
ment in favor of it and the demand for it
has been growing rapidly ever since the
Fort Worth deep water convention.
Neither the tariff nor any other question
is as important to Texas and the North
west and Southwest As this one question:
of deep water on the gulf coast of this
state.
Deep water means less freights, great
er profits and more markets for Texas
and the entire West. 1t means nearer
route to the South American, Mexican
and Pacific seaports. 1t means a revival
of commerce in new fields and increased
values and prosperity. What the great
masses of the people of Texas and the
Northwest want is twenty-five feet of
water on the Texas coast where it can be
had quickest for the least money.
Through the alliance and other agencies
they viii see that their produce reaches
that point at once on low rates.
The outlook is good for immediate sue
cess. The Chicago Syndicate that built
the Texas capitol say they viii have ii at
the mouth of the Brazos in two years.
The chief investors in the Mexican Ma
tional Railroad and the Arkansas Pass
Railroad, aided by prominent North
Texas capitalists, say that they win have

A SIN OF OMISSION.

THE GAZETTE has been furnished with
copy of the bill introduced in the lower
house of the Twentieth legislature by
Representative Strong of Dallas county
which is printed below:
House Bill No. 1854.
a bill to be entitled ''An Act to quiet the titles
to land sold and leased by the state land board -
Whereas, doubts may now exist or may arise
in the future in regard to the validity of some of
the acts of the ate land board created by the
act of April u, >, in regard to the matter and
manner of selling the common school, university
and asylum lands, and leasing such land and
public domain or reserved land,
And whereas it is contrary to the public welfare
and public policy of the state Of Texas that such
doubts should exist with the effect of unsettling
titles and contracts, therefore;
Section l. Be it enacted by the legislature Of
the state OF Texas that all rules, regulations or
ders, and the acts of the said state land board
done in the matter of leasing and selling any of
the aforementioned land are hereby validated
and the same shall not be called in question in
the courts of the country, and If called in ques-
ton shall be held to be in all respects as being
legal and valid from the beginning.
Sec. Z. mat all the RECORDS or the said state
land board shall be treated and recognized as the
records and archives of the general land Office
of the state of Texas and they shall for the pur-
pose of evidence in the courts of the country and
for all other purposes be regarded and consid-
cred as the records and archives of the general
land Office.
Sec. 3. In order to prevent vexatious litigation
harassing to purchasers of land who have acted
in good faith, there exists an imperative neces-
sity and emergency for the constitutional rule
requiring each bill to be read on three several
days to be suspended, and also that this act be
in force and effect from and after its passage and
it is therefore so enacted.
The above bill was prepared by Messrs.
Templeton and Walsh for the purpose of
giving validity to the titles to school
lands, and passed to its third reading,
when it was defeated of passage by those
who saw in it only an endorsement of the
land board. The Twenty first legislature
is now called on to rectify what would
have been prevented had the Twentieth
legislature passed a needed healing act.

poor investment for its owner and for its

LINDAUER LITIGATION.
A Settlement OF 40 Cents on the Dollar Accepted
by All the Creditors.

Settlement OF 40 Cents on the Dollar Accepted
by All the Creditors
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 91.-An parties
interested in the Lindauer case was again
assembled in Judge Prendergast's court
this morning to participate in the final
act of one of the most sensational litiga-
tions that ever occupied a month s time
of several courts of Cook county. The
final act was nothing less than an offer of
settlement by Lindauer Bros. & Co. at 20
cents on the dollar, such compromise to
extend to unsecured as well as judgment
creditors. The offer was made in open
word and was accepted and that proba-
bly, ends the matter. This end was not
reached until much preliminary talk was
INDUCED in and after the court, in ac-
cordance with its decision of Saturday,
had appointed Frank Collier re-
ceiver. The court had also de-
cided to attach the Lindauers for
contempt in refusing to turn over the
cash'in their possession. This was done
in order to facilitate an appeal to higher
court on the question of Judge Prender-
CAST IS decision. The attorney for the
firm said negotiations for a settlement
were pending, and asked postponement
of two weeks in the entry of the order of
attachment, which was granted. 1t was
then asked on behalf of the insolvents
that the court suggest basis of settle
ment, and Judge Prendergast said that
in his opinion 40 per cent. all round was
as much as the creditors could reasonably
hope to get. It is thought probable that
the appeal as to jurisdiction viii be
