5000 people at DeGive's opera house, and
for TWO hours preached democracy. He
was frequently interrupted by applause
and altogether the reception he received
was most gratifying in view of the
fact that Judge Hines is citizen
of Atlanta, and further on accoun c
of the sentiment worked up here
against MIR Atkinson during the contest
for the nomination, About a dozen pop
ulist rowdtes held a corner of the gallery
ana Kept up running fire of questions
but Mr.. Atkinson was never more ready,
and routed his questioners every time
Many prominent citizens occupied seats
on the stage with Mr.. Atkinson. among
the visitors being Senator Walsh The
speech was one of the ablest neard in
Atlanta during the campaign Watson and
Hines were handled with gloves off and the
populist platform was blown 10 the winds
The most conspicuous feature of MIR. At
kinson's speech was his declaration
against the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of III to /, which he said would be
rulnous to the prosperity of the country
unless the parity of the two metals was
assured. He took the position that silver
in this country maintained its debt-pay-
ing qualities because the government
guarantee was behind it, and the govern
ment was able to fulfil its obligations

BOUNTY ON SUGAR.
Carlisle's Reasons for Falling to Pay
it 20 the Planters,

it 30 the Planters.
Washington, Oct. Edward B. Whit
ney, assistant Attorney General of the
United States, to-day filed the answer of
John G, Carlisle, Secretary of the Treas
ury and Joseph S. Miller, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, to the application of
the Miles Planting and Manufacturing
Company for an injunction to compel them
to show cause why the treasury depart
ment should not pay the bounty on sugar
production provided by the Mckinley
tariff bill for the year 1894.
Some of the points made in the answer
are as follows: They aver that as they
are advised and believe there is DO law in
the United States requiring or author
izlng them to perform any of the acts
asked for in the prayer of said petition,
and no appropriation under which they
are authorized to incur the expenses
therefor, and no funds in the treasury
available for any such purpose. They
aver that the acts asked for in the prayer
of said petition are executive and not min
isterial in character; that these responses
are charged as part OF their official duty
within the construction of the revenue
acts of congress, and that the construc-
tion so given by them is not renewable by
any court upon application for a writ of
mandamus; that the respondent, Carlisle.
as secretary of the treasury, is also
charged as part of his official duty, with
the resp possibility of constituting the APP
preparation acts of congress. and so mar
shaling the moneys appropriated that the
government of the United States may be
properly carried on, and that
the construction so given and
monetary arrangements made by
him are not renewable by any court
upon application for writ of mandamus;
that in pursuance of his official duty he
has carefully considered, both by Itself
and in comparison with the appropria-
tion acts for the previous fis-
cal year and with the present
needs OF the government the provision
of the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation of July 81, 1894,
relating to necessary expenses re
specting the bounty on sugar, which is
the only provision of law now authorizing
or purporting to authorize expenses in
that regard that the moneys thereby ap-
propriated are also by its terms applica-
ole, and are required, for salaries and ex-
penSeS of the previous collectors and dep
uty collectors of internal revenue and
their clerks, transportation of public
funds, enforcement of the tax upon
Oleomargarine, and other purposes,
aside from inspection of sugar
manufacturing; that in his opin-
ion so reached, even without any pay
ments for such inspection, there will be
deficiency under this provision during. the
present fiscal year; and that to expend
moneys upon such inspection would, in his
opinion, violate the intent of congress,
disarrange the fiscal arrangements of the
treasury of the United States, and be to
the detriment of the United States gov
ernment
Wherefore, these respondents pray
that the proceedings may be dismissed -

BURGLARS BLOW UPASAFE
The Safe Shattered by a Big Charge Of
NitTO-glyCeTile.

Gold and Silver Coin Scattered in
Every Direction by the Force Of the
Explosion - The Bank Eestimatea
Its Loss at "a 4,ooo-S1, 500 in Bat
tered Coin Recovered The Cracks

Burlington, Ia, Oct. IA guaranteed
burglar proof safe in the fire proof vaults
of the State Bank at Mediapolis, this
county, was blown almost to atoms yes
terday morning by tremendous charge
of nitro-glycerine The cracksmen forced
the vault locks without difficulty. The
safe contained So, 900 in gold coin, $500 in
paper currency S4OO in silver coin and
$1,000 in school district bonds, payable to
bearer. The paper money was torn into
bits and the coin was battered and bent
and scattered TO the four winds. Nine
teen of the bonds have been recovered iu-
tact, the rest being destroyed or stolen.
One thousand five hundred dollars in the
battered coin was recovered. 1t is pre-
sumed the burglars got the rest.
BADLY RIDDLED.
The interior of the vault looks as
though it had passed through bombard-
ment. A ton of scrap metal lies upon the
floor and is imbedded in the walls and
ceiling. The boxes were riddled by flying
pieces Of metal and Sl31 900 worth of
mortgage deeds are almost destroyed.
The bank estimates its loss at "a 900 At
a meeting of the directors it was voted
to make this good out of tho
surplus. Three hours after the dis
coyery of the robbery the bank was trans
acting regular bssiness. The robbers
made their escape on stolen handcar,
which was abandoned in the ditch two
miles north of Burlington The robbed
bank is chartered by the state, and has q
capital of $50 900. II is the impression
that local desperadoes under the leader
ship OF some more experienced person had
the job in hand. Part of band of anna
teur crooks are in Jail for store breaking,
and 1t is believed those at liberty assisted
in the safe wrecking.

A RAILROAD ON THE BLOCK.
The Macon and Northern Bid in for
the Bondholders.

b1AO DOAAAlAOAobAhs
Macon, Ca, Oct. 2-The Macon and
Northern railroad was sold to-day at 10
O'Clock at public outcry at the United
States court house. The road was sold
by Commissioners Alex Proudht and J..
Nj. Tally, who were appointed by the
court to conduct the sale MIR. Proudft
cried the road off. The only bidder was
Alexander Brown, Jr., of Baltimore, rep
resenting the firm Of Alexander Brown
& Sons, who in turn represent the bond
holders. The price paid was 81 ,070, 900,
which price was fixed as the
minimum bid to be accepted by tho
commissioners. The order of the
court required certified check for
$50, 900, and Mr.. Brown deposited check
for this amount with the commissioners.
This money will go to pay off the re-
ceiver's debts The balance of the pur-
chase price will pay off the bonds, which
simply means that the bondholders will
pay off the receivers debts and take the
road There is an impression that it will
be sold again TO the Southern railway or
Central. Neither Of these ideas seems to
be correct. On the contrary, il is be-
lieved that the road will be operated in
dependently after suitable arrangements
have been made with the Seaboard Air
Line.
This would indicate that the status OF
the roads affairs viii remain very much
the same as at present, except perhaps,
that the Seaboard Airline cars may be-
run into Macon at some time in the near
future. This would give Macon better
thing of it than she has yet had, as it
would mean a strong independent COM
peting line to the east. On the
whole, to-day's sale, considering tho
probable intentions of the new owners,
ought to be a very sa satisfactory thing to
the people Of Macon.

routine business, full statement of the
financial condition of the union was read,
and it was received with great applause.

ton. and the statement surprised great
mrny members. The report OF Satur-
DAVIS conference with the manufacturers
was read, and was not commented on.
A report was made on certain ne
potiations that have been going on
between the Sanford and Globe yarn
mill authorities ana the authorities of
the union, and the situation at the Globe
warn mills was discussed. There are two
mills running with full complement OF
carding and ring spinning help, but the
authorities cannot induce the splnners TO
start on a compromise reduction. The
decision arrived at by the union was that
the Globe yarn mule spinners are fighting
the same battle as the other spinners, and
consequently they should not go IN on
compromise, unless the others went in,
The spinners have voted to make prepar-
ations for calling on the federation OF
trades for assistance. Thus lar the
SINNERS have made no other move to get
money from outside sources.
