MULES AND HORSES.
Over Three Thousand Head at tho Brady
Miller Stahtos Atlanta In.


Atlanta, Ga, IS just now attracting
great deal of attention. For some time
that city has been known as headquarters
for mules and horses for the southern
states The fact that the Brady-Miller
Company. at that place. has erected the
largest sale and feed stable in the world
costing over ylJOOo. with capacity or
accommodating over 5000 head OF horses III
one time has done much 10 make At
lanta the greatest market in the southern
States. II is understood at present that
there are between three and four thousand
mules and horses at this stable. OF course
they are for sale. An auction sale Is held
at 10 o'clock daily, and the best stock
from all pars of the West is sold to the
highest bidder.
Never before in the history OF the South
has stock sold at such low prices, and
never has the demand been better. The
West is over-stocked with horses and
mules. and is not waiting for the people
from the South 10 visit their markets.
but IS dumping them into Atlanta by the
carload.
No doubt Il will be greatly to the ad-
vantage OF the buyers of this section TO
visit Atlanta, Ga. and make their seiec-
ton This company will cheerfully give.
by wire or letter, any information that Is
desired.

G1G1yTIC PENSION FRAUDS.
Col. Moore and His Successor at Buffalo
Under Arrest.

uufT tTfftis
BUFFALO. n. Y, Jan. Ga. W. Bowen
Moore. the most extensive agent in west
ern New York, with his son Allen and
five clerks. were arrested this afternoon
bv United States officers on a charge OF
defrauding the government and extorting
money from pensioners. The whole
amount involved is said to be $4,000.
The Pension Department has been inves-
tlgatine his methods for three months.
The evidence is highly sensational
Col Moore did "A very large business
as pension claims agent, and since 1872
has secured over six thousand claims,
OF which it is said 400 at least were
fraudulent According to Special Exam
liner Ayers, the government estimates
the amount he has fraudulentiy obtained
for pensioners at about S1WO,OO0 Al
ready the examiners have found where
$1,000 has been secured by fraud. 1t
is also said that others are implicated,
among them several vell-kno~n locai
attorneys. and that more arrests VIII
soon be made.
Louis Hoppe. who was arrested with
Moore. succeeded TO the latters business
on January 1st lie refused at hrst TO
say what his relations with the CLAIMS
agency were, but later said that ne had
assumed Mo0res business. Nothing can
be learned further than what IS stated
in the complaints. Assistant Attorney
Mackey admits the most important re
suits OF the investigation are being held
back until the hearing.
Moore was a pension examiner before
becoming a claims agent in 1SSl, and con-
sequently was acquainted with all the
ms and outs Of the department. During
the commisslonership of Gen. Raum he
was charged with crookedness, but the
cases were. il is said. kept out OF court
by powerful influences. The present
pension authorities intend to prosecute
Moore and all associated with him in
the alleged fraud.
