take charge of the rooms in place OF
Miss Grace Johnson, who has resigned

600. About a year ago Keogh made
will leaving all his property to George
L. Becker. About an hour before his
death another scrivner was called in
and will was drawn up and signed
leaving $500 to Mrs. John Bohmart, and
s1OO to each of her two children, ava
the remainder of the estate to MT.
Becker. The property was left to the
Bohmarts for the care given by the
family during the last and lingering
illness of Keogh. The claim is made
by Mr.. Becker, who is named as eX-
ecutor in both wills, that Keogh was in
articuIo mortis when the last will was
made, and, therefore, not competent to
dispose Of his property.

The annual meeting of the board of

Mrs. j. w. Edgerton. recording sec
retary. read her report, of which the
following are the leading points:
81 have the honor Of sub
hitting to you today the twenty
eighth annual report of the Protestant
Orphan Asylum of st. Paul. The past
year has been a very pleasant one to
the children, revelation to most Of
them of what home life should mean.
They have been sheltered and we'll fed,
as their appearance shows; their re-
ligious training begun. and their little
pleasures not ignored. The special
event of the year has been The loss TO
the asylum of its matron, Mrs. Blng-
ham, who has been with us six and a
half years. We are fortunate III having
as Mrs. Bingham's successor Miss Mary
E. Hewlett. who took charge OF the
home Jan. 1S. '93. The present number
of children in the asylum is fifty-one.
During the year fifty-two have been re-
celved, and fifty-four dismissed; three
have been sent to homes for
adoption, two boys placed with
farmers until of age, one sent
to the school for defective children at
Owatonna, one has died; the others
were taken by relatives. Under its
articles of incorporation, the asylum
may receive orphans; half-orphans and
destitute children may be fully sur
rendered to the asylum, in which case
the management places them in good
homes either by adoption or until OF
age. Also children may be placed there
for three months. In case of the dSath
of mother, father may place his
children in the asylum temporarily, and
in cases of urgent need the time will be
extended. Also mother at the fathers
death can place her children there until
she can arrange to take care OF them.
We have had no need for the services of
a DOCTOR except for the boy who died.
or accidents, one broken collar bone is
the sum total. The school has been
most satisfactory. The boys have been
granted the pleasure OF the manual
training school methods for the last few
months owing to the kindness of Miss
L l0lCC duu hls l. al lHs GOii3 WlO hllNiy
offered to instruct them every Saturday.
About two-thirds of the children attend
school; the others are still in the nurs-
cry. We wish especially to aeknowl-
edge the gift from the Needlework
Guild Of 400 garments. There have been
a few improvements in the house, such
as fresh paint, paper and new range
in the kitchen, and new fence being
the most important. We again extend
our thanks to the many friends, who, in
various ways, have helped oD our work."

JUDGE sPEER AND MIR. RoUNrREE
DR.. Westmoreland Non-Committal
Concerning the Affidavit.


Atlanta, June 26.-To the MORNING
News correspondent who interviewed
him to-day, DIR. w. F. Westmorelsnd re
fused to confirm or deny the report that
he had furnished Attorney Crawford
with an affidavit setting forth that Daniel
Rouutree had told him that Judge
Speer had suggested to him the fling OF
the Rowena Clarke bin under which the
Central railroad was originally placed in
the hands of receiver. DIR. Westmore-
land, however, stated that Mr.. Rountree
had told him many facts in connection
with his position in the case, and he ad-
mitted having conferred with Lawyer
Crawford while that gentleman was here
attending the hearing before Justice
jackson last month.
DR.. Westmoreland's attitude is looked
upon as confirming the report about the
affidavit, and an interesting story now
comes out in connection with this step in
the Central case. 1t was during the even
ing of the second day of the hearing in
this city that DIR. Westmoreland, who had
been a very close friend of Mr.. Rountree
but who had had falling out with him,
went to a room in the Kimball where Mr.
ROuntree and and Messrs. Bacon, Patter-
son and several other lawyers in
the case were, and in their presence
read over the obligation in the
aftdavits. He did this to put the lawyers
on notice of his intention, and they have
consequently known of the existence of
the affidavit since that time. It is not
known whether Judge Speer was in
formed at the time the lawyers We're

ut is A MALICIOUS LIE.
Attorney ROuntTee'S Reply 10 the Al
Legged Collision Affidavit.

He Says DR.. Westmoreland Was Once
His Friend But FELL Out With Him
About a Lawsuit-Judge speer Saws
the Statement is without Truth as
Far as BE is conoerned-Mr. oraw-
ford Declines to Make a Direct State

The news of tae sensational story pub.
ushed in the Atlanta papers that Attor-
ney Crawford had in his possession an am.
davit of DIR. w. +. Westmoreland, of At
lanta, to the effect that there had been
collision between Judge Speer and At
torney Dan Rountree about the Rowena
NJ Clarke suit reached Savannah yes
terday by telegraph during the hearing
of the Central Railroad case. 1t caused
quite stir and while everybody talked
about it none believed Judge Speer guilty
of the charge. Those acquainted with
the dignifed Judge promptly stamped it as
falsehood sprung by the enemies of the
Central
Judge Speer when asked about the
matter declined TO discuss it further than
TO say that as far as he was concerned
there was no truth in the statement.
Attorney Rountree however was hot
about the story. 'It is a malicious lie, -
said he" without even the slightest sus-
picion offoundation. don't believe West
moreland made any such affidavit be-
causehe has had no ground for it, but if
he did all have to say is that the affida-
vid is a fabrication out of the whole
cloth. Westmoreland and 1 were once
fast friends, but we fell out over a law
suit, and this may be the meat of the
cOcoanut.
"Have you an aff1david in your posses
sion charging collision between Judge
Speer and Attorney Rountree, and do you
intend to present it at this hearing2''
MIR. Crawford was asked
by Morning News reporter.
Instead of replying to the query, Mr..
Crawford answered: "Will you answer
this question: From which quarter will
the wind be blowing next Mondays"
When pressed for a direct reply, Mr.
Crawford became nettled, and said: "I'm
here trying lawsuits and do not propose
to answer kilograms or publications. You
folks who have been worrying me about
having afidavits in my pockets should go
to the people alleged to have signed them.
They are the proper parties to talk about
the matter. l have nothing more to say
about affidavits"
If DIR. Westmoreland made the alleged
AFFIDAVIT he will probably be heard from
soon in reply to the emphatic language
of Mr.. Rountree, and if he did not make
the affidavit the sensation will die out
quickly.

Chief Green Recommends an Increas @
of the Force.


Chief of Police Green's report for
1892 is brief. He only makes
one recommendation, and Mayor Nc
Donough in his report supports
this recommendation. 1t is that the pres
emit force is inadequate to properly cover
the city and protect life and property
'The city," says the chief, lis extending
rapidly and the population is steadily in
creasing. l therefore recommend that
the force be increased, with this end in
view.
The present force consists of 67 men
including officers. During the year,
2,949 arrests were made, a decrease of
1917 against 1891. OF this number 1,127
were whites and ,s12 colored The fol
