THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN.
Deal on Foot to Wreck This Magnificent
Piece of Property.

Deal on Foot to Wreck This Magnificent
Piece of Property.
CINCINNATI, March 24.-There seems
to be unanimous opinion that the ulti-
mate purpose of the Brice- Thomas
crowd is to wreck the Cincinnati South
ern. The appointment of receiver for
the lessee company was only a ruse.
The true inwardness of the proceedings
is to make the earning capacity of the
Cincinnati Southern appear in such a
light as to frighten the city into selling
at such figures as Brice, Thomas and
company. as they would be the only
bidders, may see fit to give. The filing
of the application at such late hour
was shrewd move. The object was to
suppress the proceedings from the after
noon papers of Saturday in order that
only one side of the case could be pre-
sented to the public on Monday. The
shrewdly planned scheme failed to ac-
complish the purpose desired and the
people are watching every move.
The line will be operated as hereto
fore, the only change being that the
court will direct affairs instead of the
board of directors. There are rumors
of retrenchment, and such policy may
ultimately be adopted; but for the pres
ent Receiver FELTON, says there will be
no changes.

HARRlsoN's TACTICS.
Some of the Means Employed to Save the
Depleted Treasury.


New York, March 24.-lmporters,
and especially importers OF hat trlm-
mings in this city, are very much inter-
ested in story from Philadelphia con-
corning the alleged stopping by ex-Pres-
ident Harrison few days prior to the
inauguration of his successor OF check
for S250,00O drawn in favor OF a big
Broadway millinery firm in payment OF
q claim for excess on duties. This par
ticular claim was one of the multitude
fled against the government by import
ers in this city, Boston, Philadelphia
and New Orleans during the last ten
wears and known as the That trimmings
litigation" and it was alleged that the
sudden recall of the check was brought
about by ex-Attorney General Miller,
who is said to have discovered the
claim to be huge swindle. The $2oo.-
900 check had already received the sig
nature of Secretary of the treasury
Foster. and President Harrison had Or
dered the forwarding OF it to the I'M
porter when the attorney general and
the solicitor general prevailed upon hlm
to recall it. What the particular SWIM
die was the story failed to specify.
Inquiry here failed to disclose any
knowledge of swindle in connection
with the $250,0O0 check. Lawyer
Mackie, of Curie, Smith & Mackie, who
represented many importers in the hat
trimming claims, was seen and he de.
MED the story. ''As a matter of fact,
SAID Mr.. Mackie, there has been no
swindle whatever or even shadow OF
one. The claims were being paid by the
treasury department, when, III Feb
ruary, an order was issued from Wash
ington ordering payment to be stopped.
The treasury was in very depleted
condition and the administration de-
cided to send the cases over to the in
coming administration. The $3.50, 900
check was among those recalled. W hat
claim it was issued to satisfy | don't
feel at liberty to state. That is all
there is to the story"
At the customhouse Mr.. Mackie's
version of the case was confirmed.

STATE GEOLOGIST SPENCER.
After Long Continued Easrt to Secure
Harmony in the Department the
Headsman Had to Exercise
His Authority.

ATLANTA, March 24.-Trouble has
been brewing in the geological branch
of the state government for the past 10
months. Oh account of differences which
have existed between the state geologist
and his assistant.
These differences have grown gradu-
ally until both have become so emblt-
tered, the one against the other, that
the state has derived little, or no real
benefit from the department..
The board of managers of the geolog-
ical survey have, time and again insist
ed upon concert of action and harmony
in the office, appealing to the principal
and his assistant, each personally, but
without effect.
After further effort seemed useless.
the board of geological survey held a
meeting and passed resolutions to the
effect that. as the board had notified the
state geologist more than IL months
ago that harmony would be in
sisted upon to the extent of his dismissal,
if necessary; and that the disagreement
continued to the general hurt of the
survey, and, in consequence, the board
had seen fit to request the resignation OF
the chief and the two assistants, and the
board being then in receipt of a COM
munication from the state geologist de-
clining to submit his resignation, it had
been determined that the governor be
requested to remove DR.. Spencer from
the office of state geologist because of
inefficiency in the conduct of thesurvey.
In compliance with this request, the
governor sent the following communi-
cation to the state geologist:
Or. J. w. Spencer. State Geologist. At
lanta, Ga.
Sir: / hand you herewith the action of
the state geological board upon your re-
fusal to submit your resignation this
day, as requested. In obedience to the
request herein contained, | now declare
the office of the state geologist vacant.
The board has instructed Mr.. Sans,
the secretary, to take charge of the office
of the state geologist and his assistants.
You will, therefore, turn over all the
property belonging to the state to Mr..
Sans, and deliver to him the keys of the
offices. Very respectfully.
W. j. NoRTHEN,
Governor.
Governor Northern will now proceed
to fill the positions made vacant as soon
as possible, and with that end in view
will send an advertisement for three
competent geologists to the scientific

weeks ago by the board Of lady
managers in the appointment of Mrs.

Some time ago the claims of the
