SAFE BLOWERS AT DUCKERS
PROFESSIONAL CRACKMENs IN THIS
SECTION.
They Enter the Store of j. w. Stahlnaker
and Get Off With Coz siderable Booty.

They Enter the Store of j.. w. stahlnaker
and Get Off With Considerable Booty.
Arrested in Dawson.
Friday night the store of Mr.. j. w.
Stahlnaker, the popular tax receiver OF
Dougherty county, was burglarized and
the safe blown open at Duckers station.
From the nature of the work, the bur
glars were evidently professional cracks
men. Their work was artfully and sys-
tematically done-not the least noise be-
ing heard.
No one knew anything about the bur-
glary until next morning when the store
was opened and the above disclosures
made.
At once an Investigation was made
and it was found that Sis in currency
and three drafts had been taken from the
safe drawer. The drafts were for $50,
S25 and $40 respectively, and were
against the Exchange Bank of Macon,
signed by j. L. Aslop and endorsed by
j. F. West.
Besides the above, the robbers took a
pistol from the safe and some other ar
t1cles from the store-such things as are
not.liable to lead to detection.
1t is thought that two white tramps
who had been lettering about the place
for some time, are the guilty parties.
Mr.. Stahlnaker tracked the burglars
for several miles in the direction of
Dawson, and procured horse and bug
CIV and came direct to this city. He
soon let the officers know his business
and in little while chief Arnett had
arrested two suspicious looking white
characters. who reached Dawson early
that morning, and turned them over to
Jailer Tedder.
The men gave their names as j. j.
Tharpe and @. A. Crawford and said
that they were from Savannah enroute
to New Orleans. The face and hands of
one of them showed very plainly of hav
ing been burned with powder. Mr..
Stahlnaker took very careful measure
ment of the tracks leaving his store and
they correspondent exactly with those of
the two men arrested, and he was almost
certain that he had the right parties
when he left Dawson for home Saturday
afternoon.
Sheriff Christie was in Bronwood Sat
urday morning and reports that the two
men who we're arrested and another sus-
picious character were put off the early
morning southbound freight tram at
that place by the conductor. The third
man was loo ated on the Central railroad
track north of the compress by officer
McMath late in the afternoon and arrest
ed. He said that he and his companions
we're on their way from Montgomery to
Savannah. He was afterwards released,
Mr.. Stahinaker thinking the right par
ties had already been arrested.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Stahlnaker
and the two prisoners, accompanied by
Jailer Tedder, left for Albany by private
conveyance.
Tharp is tall, slender fellow, had on
blue uniform suit and when searched
had a star conductor punch. Crawford
is large, heavy-set blonde.
After Mr.. Stahlnaker returned home
negro named Henry billiard confessed
to having seen the two men break into
tile store, and he has been arrested also.

ADVANCES IN ELECTRIC TRACTION.

The possibilities of electricity as a facile
and econ omical motive power in transporta-
ton are coming to the front with astonish-
ing rapidity. Locomotive applications Of
electricity are extending much farther than
providing traction for short streetcar lines,
the power being available for unlimited
distances over comparatively level ground,
with or without rails. In the East electric
propulsion is fast superseding horse trac-
ton in car service. and if economy and con-
veEience are decided to be on the side OF
electricity cables will alsG disappear, save
on those billy routes which place electric
cars at disadvantage. On level routes
cables could be taken up and underground
wires laid down with considerable saving
in the wear and tear of materials. In time
the overhead wires of the trolley system
will also vanish IN favor of some less up-
slightly method of propulsion, either by
means Of secondary Batteries or currents
conveyed by concealed conductors. Inven-
tons come thick and fast to utilize this pro-
team agency, and il is more accurate to
affirm that we are but on the threshold Of
discovery than to conclude we are in sight
of inaty.
Apart from rails on regularly graded
roads. good deal might be done in such
State as California by using the ordinary
highways for electric transportation. On
the Alameda side of the bay the electric
car service has made great Roadway. Cars
flash along at higher speed than cables
can give. But all through the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys. where the roads
are as level as a table, an improvement in
transportation would result from laying
broad track plates at an average width.
These country roads are not macadamized
or well kept Dust lies deep in summer and
mud in winter, and wagons make slow

ON THE STAND.

Richard W. Thompson, the member Of
President Hayes Cabinet who resigned to
become chairman Of the American branch
OF the Panama Company. has told the Con-
gressional investigating committee what be
recollects Of the transactions Of that period.
4 review of his testimony may be promised
with the statement that no one has sus-
pected Thompson of offenses kindred to
those which have been discovered in
France. Mr.. Thompson is not charged
. with having bribed anybody; he is simply
suspected Of having loaned name which
had derived its principal value from its
ASSOCIATION with other members OF Presi-
dent Hayes Cabinet for sum Of money
and to have paid little attention to what
other members of the committee might do
MT. Thompson's testimony bears ont this
suspicion. He admits that he did not know
that three Of his associates were being paid
twice as much as himself, the inference
being that the active workers were con-
sidered of more importance than the figure
head. Mr.. Thompson's statement that he
hoped to make an American enterprise Of
the canal indicates small knowledge of the
condition of affairs at the time. De Les
seps had organized his French CON-
pany and had been promised about
all the money he supposed at the
time he would want. The only difficulty
apparently in his way was an anticipated
declaration by the American Congress that
the canal if built must be under the protec-
ton of the American Government. A
declaration that the Monroe doctrine
would be construed to prevent a foreign
company from building a canal across the
isthmus would have alarmed subscribers
and possibly have caused an early collapse
of the enterprise. Mr.. Thompson admits
that when the Nicaragua treaty was before
the Senate he wrote pamphlet against it,
For reasons best known to himself be kept
the authorship OF the pamphlet n secret.
The treaty. however, was not ratified.
There was at the time a somewhat remark
able abatement of interest in the Monroe
doctrine. No one seemed to care whether
it was disTegarded or not. Mr.. Thompson
denies that the Panama canal had lobby
at Washington, either to influence Con-
gressmen or the press. On this point he
appears not to have been better Informed
than be was about the three associates who
drew $4,000 salaries from the Panama
company without any assignment Of duties

AT A DISCOUNT.

Two per cent bonds of the United States
are at discount of one-half per cent The
only meaning that can be attached 10 this is
that money is worth lit more than when
these bonds were accepted in place of pay
ment for Az per cents about to expire.
There is always considerable money which
seeks permanent investment at low rates OF
interest Parties who held United States
bonds would only surrender them on pay
ment OF premium that covered the differ
ence between 2 per cent interest aud the
interest expressed on their face. Since that
time purpose on the part, Of several Euro
pean Governments TO repleDish their stock
of gold has held out better market for
money seeking a permanent investment.
While some Of these nations never expect
to pay their bonds except by issuing a new
lot, there is reasonable confidence that in
terest will be paid for years to come. An
explanation for the small depreciation in
American bonds may be found in the fact
that European Governments are paying
better price for gold than when the 2 per
cent bonds were issued. IL new issue OF
United States bonds should be made the
rate of interest will be lower then was
offered when the 4 " per cents were issued.
If per cent bond is only one half per
cent discount per cent bond would GER
tainly draw gold from Europe.

THE CAMINETT BILL.

will, doubtless. become a law before the

Of COMPROMISE between mining and farm
ing interests by which both parties place
their ease in the hands Of a board Of Federal
army engineers. This board will deter

hydraulic mining may be resumed. a min
ing company must make a showing Of its
ability 70 impound its tailings satisfactory
to the board. The mining company also
has TO sIand the expense Of erecting re-
strainng works. The Federal Commits
sioners will have q delicate task to perform.
They will be called upon to determine
matters which at best can be only a matter
OF opinion. The mining companies will
naturally think restraining works to be
sufficient which do not commend themselves
to the judgment of men who may be ruined
If the works should prove insufficient. On
the other hand. If the board Of engineers
should be conservative and withhold their
consent to mining companies whenever
there is bare possibility the restraining
works would prove inadequate, the mining
counties would not derive much benefit
from the law. The grayest factor in the
problem is the waterways. Can the chan
nels Of the rivers be washed out without
filing up the bays lying between Benicia
and the Golden Gate2 If not. il would be
better for the State that the deposit be
removed by the bucketiul and packed to a
place Of safety in wheelbarTows than that
tie washing out process be attempted.

GOVERNMENT SURVEYS.

Senator Wolcotts amendment reducing
the appropriation for typographical surveys
has been rejected by the United States Sen
ate. The complaint was that s., 0O0, 900 has
already been expended on this work, and
that at the same rate thirty-eight years will
be required to complete it. II was also
urged that the geological survey may cost
Sl00,o00o00, according to present appear
ances, during a term Of years, to which no
one can assign limit 1t is quite possible
that some of this scientific mapping is being
done loosely or badly, but nobody will deny
that surveying is necessary work which
should be done well. 1t would be very
poor policy to psralyZe all operations, but
it would be advisable to point out how
methods could be improved. A thorough
survey of the United States is not to be
hoped for within a half century. There
will always be parts Of the work to be
taken up for REORGANIZATION aDd vertical
ton. AS TO the geological survey. no limit
Of time could be assigned to it. The geolo-
gist tolls not only by plodding over new
ground but by retraeing his steps. Errors
may have to be acknowledged which have
persisted during BALI a century and in
dorsed by the highest authorities. There is
an instance at present In Scotland. The

NOT MUCH OF A CHICK.

Mr. Paul' Neumann seems 10 have I'M

telling what reports of his success may be
sent out. Mr.. Neumsnn, it is said. fears
that the interests Of the people Of Hawaii
have not been properly guarded by the rep
Tesentatives of the Provisional Govern
ment Of Hawaii. For example it is not
provided 10 the treaty that bounty shall
be paid on Hawaiian sugar. There are
many things treaty could not provide for
The object Of the treaty was to make the
islands part of the United States and sub
ject to such laws as the National Govern
ment might sanction. The people of the
Territories trust to the National Govern
ment and there Is no known reason why the
people of the islands may not. The United
States and the Islands are not like TWO
equal powers trying to gain some advantage
over each other. When the Islands become
American the prosperity Of the people will
be as much al object Of Government solicit
tude as the prosperity of other Territories.
The administration has acted promptly,
but not hastily. To have received the CON-
missioners coolly and delayed action on
their proposition would have been an in
timation that the islands were but half
welcome-that il they were annexed at all
