A special from Atlanta to the Macon Tele-
graph says: THE administration of At
iaDta's finances appear to be- somewhat
mixed. A bungling piece of financiering,
a worse clerical error OF the city controller,
and the practice OF Alderman Rinehardt,
mayor pro tenn is creating no end of talk
just now. Some time ago Mayor Hemphill
and Chairman Rice OF the finance commit
tee sold $500 900 OF water works bonds and
$289,O0O of redemption bonds, bearing AZ
per cent. interest, in New York for s.
several years ago floated her debt at 4
per cent, selling her bonds at par But tais
howl has hardly died away, when il is
discovered that through mistake of the
city controller 100000 more than was
necessary was issued and sold in redemption
bonds, and as consequence this amount
will remain idle in the treasury for six
months and the city will lose $500 clear
money on the transaction, as there is no use
TO which this money can he put. Alderman
and Mayor Pro Tenn, A. NJ Rinebardt
through his position as chairman OF the tax
committee, has had, it is claimed,
Fl. fas. against himself for street aud sewer
work held up dating for three years back.
which has also entatled considerable loss to
the city IN costs, as the alderman had fl. fas.
60 the amount Of $4,000 stayed. he ad-
united when the disclosure was made that
he used his position to hold up the q. fas.
because he was in financial strait These
disclosures has raised loud howl, and it is
likely that there will be some further inves-
tigation done in the near future
The setting aside Of the will of Judge W.
II. Murray, late Of McDufiie county, by the
court Of ordinary Monday created a great
deal OF talk there. The amount involved is
$4,000. Judge Murray for several weeks
before his death manifested great dislike
for w. Q. Gibson, his son-in-law, the hus-
band OF his only living child. MIR. Gibson,
who formerly lived in Augusta, gave up his
business there and moved to McDuffie after
marrying Miss Murray and took charge of
the farms belonging to Judge Murray,
lie lived with Judge Murray, who gave
up all his business affairs to his control. 10
fact, this is said to have been the agreement
between Judge Murray and Mr..
Gibson before he gave his
consent TO the marriage of his
daughter. Judge Murray's wife died sew
eral years ago, and his daughter was the
only member Of his family left in his home.
Things went on smoothly enough for
year or two, until several months before
Judge Murray's death, when his unec-
countable luminosity to his son-iu-law and
daughter began. He manifested his dis
pleasure at their living with him, SO that
they moved back to Augusta. Judge MUIR
rays health began to fail rapidly. His
daughter could stay away from him no
longer, and, against his will, it Is told, came
back from her huebaud aud announced her
intention to live with him and attend him
in his feeble health, as he was ell alone
Meantime be had drawn up a will
disinheriting bis daughter. 1t is said that
on the day of his death Judge Murray re-
marked: well, if l am we'll enough to-day,
i think | shall go out to Thomson and have
my will changed. aud give back to my
taughter what belongs to her when 1 am
