HEARING OF HOOKS.
Held to the Grand Jury In the Round
Sum of So, 900.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. l5.-E. G. Hooks,
ex-cashier Of the freight department Of
the Sea ABOARD Air Line railroad in At
lanta. was given a preliminary trial to-
day on the charge of embezzlement and
bound over 10 await the action of the
grand Jury under bond Of 5000.
Hooks, who had been a popular society
man of the younger set, with a taste for
fast living. was placed under arrest ten
days ago, the warrants against him being
issued at the instance of the Seaboard Of
ficials. While those acquainted with
young Hooks former career knew that
his record was not clear his arrest for
en- bezzlement amounted to a sensation
to society and the public. From the evil
dence adduced to-day 1t appears that the
alleged speculatiOns commenced last sum
mer and continued over period Of sew
eral months before suspicion was aroused.
The total amount with which he is
charged with appropriating is 81, 567. The
railroad officials charge that he took
money that he had received in prepay
menJ OF freights, and by a system of in
genlous accounting kept his books bal
anced. He had entire control of the cash
drawer and it was sometime before it was
suspected that there was a shortage IN
the cash. Hooks denies that he
is guilty and claims that if there
is a shortage others in the Office are re-
sponsible Cor it. He introduced letters
from Frank W. Hoyle, freight agent IN
der whom he worked, offering 10 suppress
the matter if he or his family would make
up the shortage. As a further induce
ment he was assured that he would be re-
tanned in the employment of the road if
he would pay up.
This evidence was used to support
Hooks claim that he is being made a
scape goat of. 1t was also shown that
the officials were aware of the shortage
months ago, and that he continued in the
service of the Seaboard after the
alleged embezzlement was disclosed.
Conway NJ. Lawrence was arrested with
Hooks in the cashiers department In
committing the latter to-day Justice
Bloodworth said Lawrence ought also to
have been arrested for cullusion in the
embezzlement.
Lawrence left the state some time ago
he has been located in Mississippi and will
be arrested and brought back to stand
trial with Hooks.

DEMOCRATS BIG DAY AT REIDsvILLE.
Reidsville, Ca, Sept 15.-Tattnall dem
ocrats assem- bled at Reidsville to-day
1900 strong.
Democratic doctrine was expounded by
Coils Garrard and Lester, and Hon W
w. Shepard. A large United States flag
was floating from a stat in the court
house square, around which were hun
dreds of men, women and children. When
the Savannah brass band struck up
Dixie enthusiasm was at It's hight.
Col Garrard spoke for two hours. He
advocated the retirement of all gold and
green backs under so and thus create a
demand for silver giving it value and cir
culation.
Col Lester was at home with his old
Iattnal friends, who gave him a cordial
greeting. Not a man in the world is more
popular in Tattnall than he, and the usual
big majority will attest it. Col. Lester
spoke in very kindly way of the popu-
lists, yet his arguments showed their
position TO be a most absurd and unrea-
sonable one their theories vague and
tiimsy, and theirideas of government crude
and favorable to pdterEalism, and with
out foundation
Hon. w. w. Shepard followed in behalf
of his own Fandidacy. A large basket
dinner was served.

SENSATION IN AmERIoUs.
A Citizen Fails to Punish a Man VIII
Had Broken Up His Home.


Americas, Ca, Sept. ia first-class
domestic sensation occupies the attention
of the city and county to-day. One year
ago l. w. Mask married a young lady
from Albany and brought her TO his coun-
try home, a few miles east of Americas,
where they have lived, apparently,
contented and happy. A few
months ago a cousin of the hus-
band, DR.. w. B. Mask, from
Louisiana, came with his wife and To-
Gated in the same neighborhood to prac-
tice medicine. The cousins became fast
friends. For some weeks l. w. Mask has
had a suspicion that all was not going
well Mrs. DR.. Mask must have had like
suspicious, for some days ago she left, pre-
sumably for her Louisiana home. Last
night Mr. Mask reached his home unex-
pectedly and found the doctor in his
wife's room under compromising circum-
stance. He confronted them, gun
In hand, but, as he says, being
a law-abiding citizen, he refused
to kill the despoiler of his home. The
doctor beat hasty retreat. The faith
less wife came to this city to-day and
took the train for Albany. The doctor
has left the county, too, as the sheriff has
failed 10 locate him about his home or on
any of the trains leaving Americas or
passing through the county. The in ured
husband has no sympathy in public ex-
pressions heard because he failed to
aVenge his wrongs last night,
