Attacking G.. H. Groth.

Ed Wilson Stops Larger Man From
Attacking G.. H. Groth.
Augusta, Ga, April 26.-In the bicycle
races to-day at Athletic park, there were
three entries from Savannah, G.. H.
Groth, w. f. Wilson and c. H. Leopold.
In the seventh race G.. S. Lombard, of
Augusta, fell, and Leopold, who was trail
ing him, in trying 10 keep off of Lombard,
ran into the fence and hurt himself and
his wheel quite badly. His injuries are
not at all serious, but he was temporarily
stunned and badly scratched up. In
race in which Groth and Wilson and G.
r. Quinn, of Atlanta, were riding,
Groth thought Quinn was not giving him
fair showing on the track, and words
ensued between them which Quinn re-
scented after the race. When Wilson saw
Quinn about to attack Groth, who was
much smaller than he. Wilson told him if
he wanted TO fight anybody TO hit him.
Quinn promptly accepted the chal-
lenge, and lively scrap ensued,
but it was stopped before anybody
was hurt. After this Wilson and Quinn
settled their differences by race. Each
had won two prizes, and they ran a mile
race to decide which one should have
them all. Wilson won, and goes home
therefore, well laden with trophies. The
races were full of interest and proved a
popular feature of the day.

JUDGE BARTLETT RESIGNS.
He is Candidate for Congress in the
Sixth District

Sixth District.
Macon, Ga, April 26,-At meeting of
the Macon Bar Association, held this
morning, Judge Charles L. Bartlett re-
signed from the superior court bench of
this circuit His resignation was no sur
prise. 1t has been rumored for some
time that the Judge would resign, and
that this meant his candidacy for con-
gress in the Sixth district. A resolution
was passed unanimously requesting the
Judge to reconsider his resignation, but
he declined to do so.
1t is highly probable that the bar will,
at a meeting to be held on Saturday,
recommend TO Gov Northen the appoint
ment of Capt. John L. Hardemann as
judge of this circuit.
Judge Bartlett succeeded Hon. A. L.
Miller, who resigned about year ago.
He has made one of the most efficient.
upright and capable judges in
the state. When asked by the
MORNING News correspondent this
evening as to his political intentions,
Judge Bartlett said that after the COVER
nor had appointed his successor, he would
talk, but not till then. IL may be put
down as settled fact, however, that Mr.
Bartlett will oppose Messrs. Cabaniss,
Whitfield, and perhaps Berner, in the
Sixth congressional district.

following resolution as a question of priv
ilege:

that the sergeant-au-arms of the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES has no authority 10 require
each member Of the House to report to him
whether he has been absent from the sessions
of the House, in the absence Of any rule Of the
House giving MN such authority ana lndl no
tice Of such requirement given by the ser
Geant-at-arms is in derOgation Of the rights OF
the members OF this House.

also did not constitute a question of priv
ilege.
Mr.. Mshon-I take ali appeal
Mr. Cultivate. dem, OF Ohio move
TO lay the appeal on the table
The yeas and nays were ordered on the
question, resulting. Yeas 1866, nays -.
So the appeal was laid on the table. The
vote was almost wholly along partisan
lines Messrs. Covert, dem, of New
York; Davey, dem, Of Louisiana, and
Harris, dem, of Kansas, and Pence pop,
of Colorado, voted with the republicans
against laying the appeal on the table.
Messrs. Boatner of Louisiana, Everett,
dem. of MassaCh usetts, Coggswell, rep,
of Massachusetts, and Powers. rep, of
Vermont merely announced their pres
ence, refusing to vote.
MIR. benson, dem, of Alabama, having
voted with the republicans, before the
vote was announced changed from nay
10 aye saying that while he believed the
law of 1856 had been repealed by implica-
ton. he did not understand that the rul-
ing of the chair went into the merits of
that question.
The committees were then called for
reports. and at the close of the list MIR.
McCreary, dem, of Kentucky, moved
that the House go into committee of the
whole to further consider the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill. This
was agreed to, and Mr.. Bailey took the
chair. After minor changes were made
to the text of the bill as the result of the
afternoons consideration, it was then re-
ported to the House and passed without
division.
At o'clock the House adjourned until
tomorrow at noon.

ARRESTED IN SAVANNAH.
A Runaway Sport From Atlanta to
BE Taken Back.

Atlanta, Ga, April 26.-Chief Wright
and his men of the city detective depart
ment express good deal of qualification
at the arrest of Fred Cooper, a we'll
known local sport, in Savannah to-day.
Cooper was subp9naed to appear before
the grand jury to testify against the de-
tective department in the bribery case
that has been pending for several weeks.
The charges made are that the detectives
received pay from certain gamblers to
secure exemption from being raided
Cooper, who openly made this accusation
on the streets, was regarded as the main
witness against the detectives. When he
skipped out, after having received the
grand jury's subpoena, there was a gen
eral impression that he had been spirited
away by the accused detectives to pre-
vent damaging disclosures. The detec-
tives deny this emphaticallv, however,
and have been trying to locate Cooper all
along He will be brought back to At
lanta and taken before the grand jury on
Saturday.

New Complication Probably In the

SAN FRANcIsco, Cal, Jan. I6s-There
is a prospect that the United States
officials, either at Honolulu or in
America, may have to answer to the
charge of breaking faith with Presi-
dent Dole It is said that Minister
Willis grew impatient at Dole's delay
in formulating his reply to Willis de-
mand of abdication and urged greater
haste, whereupon President Dole
called upon Willis and frankly ad-
mitted he did not propose to submit
his reply until the arrival of vessel
on which it would be dispatched
simultaneously with the departure
of the COrwin', whereuponW Willis agreed
the Corwin should carry the dis
patches of the provisional govern
ment. Dole then hurried forward his
reply and sent it to Willis, who dis
patched the Corwin early mex morn
ing. IT transpires that no dispatches
were delivered by the Corwin to the
Hawaiian representatives in America.
It is also said the queens death
from heart disease is liable to occur at

ted and every precaution taken to

After the talk Mr.. McCreary said:
''The solution to the question will I'M

Holman will present his Hawai- an

very fairly in trying to solve the

the question of restoring Liluollalani

MIsAPPRoPRIArgD $4,000.

One of Chicago's Most Prominent BUSH
ness Men in a Sorry Plight.
CHICAGO, Jan. 16 George NJ. Bogue,
one of the most prominent business
men of Chicago. has been accused of
the misrepresentation of about SIS, 600
of the funds of the Presby terian
hospital of which he was president.
He admits that there is some entang1e-
ment with the hospital, but says any
discrepancy will be made up inn
mediately.
Last summer Bogue made an assign
ment and withdrew from the big real
estate firm of Bogue & Co. and it is
said that the misplacing of hospital
funds was the result of his financial
embarrassment.
Developments regarding the sale of
the Rev. Mr.. Anderson's home, which
was the subject of a suppressed law
suit, show that Bogue paid DIR. Ander-
son $4,000 or $12,o 600 to avoid going
into court over the matter.
About two years ago Henry A.
Phipps of Phipps, Carnegie &c Co.,
Pitts burg, sent to Bogue check for
SIS, 900 to take up note given for the
purchase of acre property. Phipps
came here himself to find, it is said,
that only $40, 900 had been paid of the
SIS, 900 sent on and that Bogue was
using the balance. Bogue in an inter
view, explains that this matter was
adjusted"
