He Replies to Another Rumor That He
Has Confessed.

He Replies to Another Rumor That He
Has Confessed.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the REGIsTER:-
MoUNDsvMLE, VIVA, February is.
To the Editor OF TIE Re0is,sr:
SIR:-The following item has been
going the rounds
"a gentleman over from the southern
part of Hancock county to-day stated 10 us
(who is u.s. that rumor has been current
in that section that Van Baker has con-
fessed to one Of the prison attaches that he
committed the double crime for w hich he
Is now serving sentence, but that he did
not do il for money, but in the heat of q
family quarrel and in fit of anger.
1--WE doubt the confession part OF the
above, but we have always cOntended that
if he did commit the deed it was done in q
passion"
The above item, clipped from the
Hancock Courier, does not only do me q
wrong, but heaps odium upon the mem
bers OF my already afflicted and perse-
cuted family. Let it suffice for me to
say that l have never made any confes-
sion of guilt, and never will, under no
circumstances, not even as subject oil
mob law, for the simple reason that
have no other version TO give than that
given under oath. Neither money nor
passion ever entered my brain to COM
init murder or theft.
Please give this place in your col
umns, and oblige.
Respectfully,
VAN b. BAKER.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The PAY Train,


The New York Herald speaking OF
Miss Florence Bindley, who is the star
of the great play, The Pay Train, ="
which appears at the Opera House
Monday matinee and night, February
%, says:
"She is genius. She is equally at
home in pathos or comedy; vocalist
worthy a leading position in Grand
Opera; dancing poet, as every step
she takes as the poetry OF motion; a
face as beautiful as nature could make
it, and one that no artist could do JUS
tice to.
The Pay Train" is the most realistic
comedy drama ever produced In this
city. 1t is both exciting and thrilling,
has many interesting situations and
holds the audience In wrapt attention.
The mechanical effects are most clever
ly executed and the great wreck scene
is wonderfully perfect and decidedly
realistic.
GREAT ATTRACTION AT TIE GRAND.
The Grand was crowded last night to
welcome the Two Old Cronies and their
fine company. Frank n. Wills was
great as the Professor, Miss Josie De-
maine is q fine soubrette, while Miss
Norma Wills and the balance or the
company came in for fair share Of the
honors of the evening. The audience
were kept in 4 continual roar from the
rise to the fall of the curtain. Since
their former appearance they have
made many new innovations on the
comedy, all OF which were highly rel
ished by the audience. They give a
matinee this afternoon, and close their
engagement with this evenings. per-

Mr.. Hearn TsarcasticsllyI-And de-
Lucrative bodies sometimes take ac-
ton.
Mr.. Farrell with dignity move
we go into executive session.
This was adopted, and after Mr..
Heard had once more briefly stated the
case from the standpoint OF the Com
pany, and plead for action, the Com
pany's counsel retired.
Mr.. Pollock opened the executive
session by calling attention to the TACT
that the only real question before the
Committee was whether or not they
would relieve the Company OF free gas.
Mr.. Farrell-No!
DIR. Campbell did not feel like
shouIdering the grave responsibilities
of the situation; he was in favor OF let
ting Council decide the matter.
DR.. Caddle suggested that the matter
be referred to Council in joint session.
DR.. Campbell-That would not be
legal.
Mr.. Irwin thought a counter propo-
sition would be thing. He did not
think the proper effort had been MADE
in that direction.
MIR. Riley-You made counter
proposition, and it was rejected.
Mr.. Farrell-Promptly!
MIR, IrWin-I think we ought TO make
another effort. l am not In favor OF
cutting all the free gas off. The water
Board don't seem to care much, but L,
as a member of the Committee on
Health, think we ought to have free gas
| I H.
ing and the schools. | am in favor OF
that. am not In favor OF that paper.
Mr.. Pollock answered Mr.. Twins
shot about the Water Boards not caring,
explaining how the gas was cut off, how
the employees OF the Board turned IL on
again, and the Company turned IL oil a
second time, and said the Board didn't
feel like engaging in fsticuffs with the
Gas Company, but it has kept a strict
account of the coal burned, and IL Coun-
eli wanted to do anything, it could do 1t.
Mr.. Farrell-How much coal did you
consume In January?
Mr.. Pollock-About 81, 500 worth.
Mr.. Farrell-Mr Irwin; If you were
on Board Of Trustees, would you care
if your coal bill was 1850 month?
Mr.. Irwin meant that the Water
Board could have turned the gas on
again, If it had wanted to. l talked
with former employee of the Natural
Gas Company the other day, and he told
me they could manipulate the pressure
just as they wanted TO.
The talk continued on in this strain
for awhile, drifting off after time on
TO the comparative Importance OF the
interests of the city as compared with
those of the individual domestic con-
sumers. Two or three members didn't
care anything about the domestic con-
sumers, so long as the free gas was
furnished, and Mr.. Farrell raised his
voice for free gas, as long as there was
any, regardless Of consequences.
Finally, seeing no end to the matter,
Mr.. Pollock put on his hat and started
for the door, saying there was no use
talking any more about it. Then some
one moved that the paper be sent to
Council, without recommendation, Mr..
Pollock paused long enough to put the
question, one man voted each way, as
stated at the outset, the Chair declared
the question carried, and left, while the
members discussed the matter for
| awhile, and then departed.

The Grippe Raging in Alabama.

"La grippe is'raging here, and l find
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be a
certain cure for it," says w. G. Johns,
of Trimble, Cullman county, Ala. Mr..
Johns ordered a supply Of the Remedy
to be shipped by express as quickly as
possible. There is no question but this
Remedy is OF great value in the treat
ment of the grip, especially on account
of its counteracting any tendency OF
the disease towards pneumonia. 1t is
also prompt and certain cure for the
cough which usually follows an attack
of the grip. % and so cent bottles for
sale by druggists.
