a Scnsat ion in Alliance Circles In Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug l3.-The liveliest
Alliance sensation Of the season has come
to light. J 0. Wynn, the business agent
of the Georgia Alliance Exchange, is over
$50, 900 short in his accounts. The E1-
change and Mr.. Wynn's securities will he
called upon TO make the shortage good.
WYNN was appointed business agent of
the Exchange when it was first organized.
He was elected by Board Of Directors
and had the management Of the Ex-
changes affairs. He did ali the buying
for the Exchange and had large dealings
with local commission merchants.
His plan OF procedure was simple. lie
would pay for Exchange goods with his
personal notes, marking the account paid
noon his books. This gave him the use
Of the money of the Exchange for one
month TO six months. With this he has
speculated in Atlanta real estate. he has
made in this way, and has now invested
in real estate, more than enough to Sc
cure his bondsmen. If the deficit had not
been discovered he would have held the
property for profit, replaced the money
taken and heen satisfied with the net pro-
fit. Wynn has surrendered all, his prop
crtv, and his bondsmen are not at all UNI
easy. He has no statement to make IN
his own defense, except that other ana
more prominent officers in the Exchange
did identically the same thing.

MATCHING BABIES.

doctors who are making q splurge over the
fact that a baby boy was Matched out IN
one of the incubators at the ohar''y
Hosnital. ON Dlackwell's Island, arc be-
hind the times. Their latest baby-hatch-

great ODDS the most capable man in the
party, or, indeed, in public life in this
country to-day"
The Commercial-Gaz in its leading
editorial to-day speaks of Mr.. Blaine as
the one man above all others to lead his
party to victory in the great battle of 1882.
"Men who once distrustcd and opposed,
him are now his supporters, because to
his conceded brlliancy he has added the
proofs of conservative and dirnified
craftsmanship that has made the State
Department. of this Administration the
pride Of his countrymcn"
The Chroniclc-1eicgraph gays: at is
time for the Republican party Of this
State and every other State to speak in
unmistakable terms for tho greatest
statesman, the brainicst leader, and the
most earnest, unfaItering exponent OF
Republican doctrines in the republic. y
1t adds: lit is an old cry, strong cry

GUARDING THE JAIL.
Twenty Persons Employed to Guard the
Jail at Gladevllle.

For the past week about twenty PERSONS
armed with Winchesters and revolvcrs'
have been employed to guard the jail at
Gladevile to prevent the rescue OF bafes'
who was under arrest when policeman
Hylton was shot at Norton by TAFT ha'i,
and who, it is charged, held Hylton while
Hall shot him. 1t was reported that Hal
was seen near Gladevillc some days ago
and it was supposed he was there 70 Sc.
cure the release of Bates. This is ho'
likely the case, however. tits more like'y
fiat Hall is now in Alabama or Tennessee
where he has friends aud that the part ne
took in Bates behalf was accidental: =, IL
is believed he had other reasons for XIII.
inc Hylton, though it is not certain wna'
they we're. One report is that Hylton
said before he died that he did not know
Hall. There is reward of $3O0 ofiered
for Hall by the citizens of Norton. nc

NEW WORKERS DYING
From the Very Intense and Oppressive
Heat.

NEW YORK, Aug. l3-Nincty-four in
the shade. That is what reliable ther-
mometer registered in lower Broadway al
noon. This is the hottest day Of the sea-
son and the hottest August in twenty
years. The effect upon the city is far
more serious than most people imaging
Persons are overcome by heat by hun
dreds and actual sunstroScs befall scores
of people. The aggravation of other dis
eases by heat is incnlculable and children,
especially nursing babies and teethinS
little ones, suffer untold miseries.
The hospitals are crowded with poor
supplicants for treatment for ailments
generated by the weather and STATS Of
physicians are overworkcd and many of
the attendants are fit subjects for treat
mcnt themselves. -Sunstrokcs have car
ried off, directly or indirectly, dozen
persons in the last twcnty-four hours,
and there are scores of others in the hos
pitfalls. The suffering caused by the heat
has been intensified by the plaques OF
mosquitoes. Sunday night these venom
Gus little pests made their appearance by
the million and drove all persons in doors.
The oldest inhabitants declare that they
had never experienced anything of the
kind before and wondered what they had
done to he SO afflicted. At two o'clock
this afternoon thunderstorm relieved
the oppressive heat some.

acuious az the one mentioned. About
two weeks ago policeman, while travel
ing an alley back Of I thompson street,
saw an old tin slop bucket on top of a
garbage boz. He paid no attention to The
bucket until an excited Italian came mp
and told him there was baby in it. 1t
was raining heavily at the time, and had
been doing so all night.
An old piece of carpet in which it was
wrapped was soaked with the cold rain,
and SO far as the policeman could tell the
mite of humanity had returned to clay.
The officer knew his business, however,
and rushed off at once TO the Woman 8
Hospital, where the innnimate mite was
quickly placed in one of the incuIators.
/ For twenty hours there were no signs
4of life, and then little finger was seen
to move. A few hours later it could
move an arm, and inside of two days the
little black rascal was kicking its heels,
yelling, blinking and creating as much
disturbance as any baby in the hospital.
When seen yesterday the little fellow was
fat, happy and contented, with ali the
outward evidences of determination to
live to ripe>eld age.
Another fact which the hospital people
do not care to boast about is that the lit
tie fellows are not kept in the incubntors
for month, as was the case with the boy
Matched out on Blackwell's Island in
many instances it has not been found
necessary to keep them inside the incuba-
tor for over week. This is because the
machines have been carefully studied and
are understood 10y those who handle them.
According to the experts it is possible to
retard the development of a baby serious
ly if the temperature and humidity are
not just right.

JOHN HOUK NOMINATED.
The Heir tn the EHouk Throne liz the Re-
publican Candidate.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. l3-The returns
from the primary election held in this dis
trict to nominate the republican ..candi-
date for congress, are coming in rapidly
Although all of the counties have not
been heard from, enough is known to in
dictate the nomination of John G. Houk
over w. w. Woodruff by majority of
from four to FIVE thousand.
Money and meanness have been the
characteristic features of the campaign
Woodruff is mighty nice old gentleman
who would make an excellent Sunday
School superintendent, but he has no
idea of practical pylitIcs. He opened
both ends of his bar'l; and the average
republican earned good wages from both
sides for his patriotic work that day. The
bows hoodwinked brother Woodruff few
weeks ago, got in his head the idea that he
really stood some chance in the contest
He won't do it again, for he knows better
now.
The democrats will run j. c. Williams.
And there will he some fun this fall, with
encouraging prospects Of electing the
democrat, on account Of the of year and
republican disatsection--thc latter refer
ring particularly to the Houk dynasty.

SAFE BLOWERS CAUGHT.
They are Tracked to Eor&h Carolina and
Captared by Detectives.
tBristol Courier.)


Chief Of Police W. j. Cox on Saturday
received telegram from w. B. Kilbourn
asking to he met at the 5:35 p. m. train
When the train came in officer Cox met i.
according to request
Among the passengers were Detective
W. B. Kilbourn and W. j. Allen, of Char
lesion, S. c., Frank Stansbury, of Rich
| mond, and William Frazier, Of Austria.
Allen, Stansbnry and Frazier are the men
whO,'on the night of July q, blew open
the safe OF G. +. Flannery, of Wise c. H :,
Va, and took from it somewhere between
$250a 800, Remington Al calibre
pistol, a 80 calibrc British Bulldog" and
forty Mexican dollars.
After the robbers had been locked up in
the Bristol, Va, Jail, the reporter had n
talk with Detective kilbourn at the Ham
iltOn. MIR. kilbournc lives at Big Stone
Gap, and is n detective. He said that he
had been on the trail of his game for nine
days and had travelled nearly thousand
miles in Tennessee, Kentucky and North
Carolina before he finally captured the
men Tor whom he was searching.
The capture was made at Blowing Rock.
n. g., on Thursday evening just about
dark. The three safe blowers were stop
ping near Blowing Rock with man NAM
ed Estes. On the evening in question the
detective and onoof the officers of Blow
ing Rock were watching the house when
the men they were after started to town.
Mr.. kilbourn brought his pistol TO bear
on them and commanded halt.
One of the men, Allen, ran, and the
detective fired. The other two men gave
themselves up and begged not to be shot.
When Allen was fired at he fell, and Kill
bourn thought he was dead. He jumped
up and began to run again, kilbourn chas-
ing him into the woods, where he finally
surrendered. He was unhurt.
The men wore all three bound together,
about fifty feet of rope being used for
that purpose. Their baggage was exam
incd and a full set of burglars tools was
found. The men did not have 80 much rs
kilbourn then began the homeward jour
ncy, and part Of the way he alone had
charge Of the prisoners, driving them be-
fore him, tied together like horses. He
told his men he would kill them if they
tried to escape, and they had sense en-
ough to know that the detective was not
to he trifcd with, and, rs stated, they
were safely landed in Bristol Saturday
evening.
Mr.. kilhourn did very clever piece of
work, and as he says, "fecls powerful
good over his victory" He will take his
men to Big Stone Gap to-day, and thence
