A Much-loved Veteran of Two Wars
Dies at Albany.

Albany, Ga, Aug. 1.-THE illness Of
Col W. A. Harris of Worth county. Of
which information was given yesterday,
terminated fatally this morning from
pneumonia, brought on from exposure
while in attendance upon the state con-
ventiOn.
The news of the grand old man s death
viii be heard with regret over the entire
state OF Georgia, for no man was better
known than he on account of his long in
cum bency in the position Of secretary of
the state Senate, which probably eX-
tended over a period of twenty years.
Mai. Harris was about Is years of age,
and was a veteran Of both the Next
can and civil wars. He was one
of the bravest of brave men, and and won
his spurs for gallanJry in both conflicts.
He had been a resident of Worth county
for many years and so closely has he been
identified with the county's affairs that
he was STYLED king of WORTH which
he well deserved because of the bound
less influence which he had IN the county.
Maj. Harris life Is a part of the history
OF the state and volumes could be written
detailing the rich variety Of his career.
Mai Harris had been twice married,
but he leaves only his wife 10 feel the Bit
terness Of his death. His remains will be
inferred at Isabella tomorrow.
MIS-. NJ. r. Mallory, one OF Lne Oldest
and most highly respected ladies of
Albany, died at a late hour last night
Her remains were inferred this afternoon
For several months past this city has
been short on water and it has been de-
cided TO put in a big artesian we'll at
water works station, and an air lit
pump TO cost S3, 900, and TO pay for these
by another bond issue The pump will be
furnished by the ErictIonless Metal Com
pany of Richmond, Va, who are already
placing pump in position to demonstrate
what 1t will do in advance Of action on
the bonds. The water supply of the
city, if the guarantee of the pump
company is made good, will be 100000
gallons daily.

NEW YORK FAILURES.
Two Heavy Assignments With La
Gross Liabilities,

GroSS Liabilities.
New York, Aug. 17-There were two
assignments to-day, one the outcome of
the other. Theodore S. Baron and Sam
uel Baron, co-partners under the firm
name of Theodore S. Baron & Co., manu-
facturers of knit underwear, at No. 80
Franklin street, in this city. and their
mill in elmer street, Brooklyn, assigned
to-day to Raphael Ettinger of this city,
with preferences to the firm of S. Baron
Il Co, for S26 059 for merchandise and
cash advanced
II is said the liabilities will reach S125.-
900, with nominal assets to equal that
sum. The firm has paid out in the past
three years about so, 900 for improved
machinery. This failure forced the firm
of S. Baron & Co. comprised of Samuel
Baron and Max Straus, manufacturers of
knit goods at the same address, to the
wall, and they assigned to-day also. The
same assignee was named. The liabilities
are said to be about Sl50,000; assets S125,
600.
The assignments are attributed to the
uncertainty of tariff legislation, the gen
eral financial depression and the inability
to make profitable sales.

Fraud and Chicanery Charged in
Nominating Whitaker.


Macon, Ga, Aug. 17.-If a prominent
populist of this city is to be believed, all
is not serene with the populists of the
Sixth congressional district concerning
the nomination of w. S. Whitaker of Pike
county for congress. In fact, to use the
words of the aforementioned populist,
There is h TO pay"
The trouble, it seems, grows out of the
fact that Whitaker only received H.
votes, which was a majority of the votes
cast, but that, according TO the rules of
the convention, IA votes were necessary
TO a choice AS the majority
ruled, however, Whitaker was de
clared nominated. The same populist
says that the Pike county delegation
which nominated Whitaker resorted to
unfair methods and chicanery to bring
about the nomination of Whitaker, one Of
their methods being to persuade the dele
gates present 10 give Whitaker a compli-
mentary vote, assuring them that it would
be impossible TO nominate Whitaker.
After majority of the delegates had
promised to give him a complimentary
vote without the knowledge of one an
other, the balloting was called for.
and Whitaker received ~ votes on
the first ballot, or enough, as the majority
ruled. TO nominate him. Three counties
in the district were not represented at
the convention. Iverson l. Harris, the
defeated candidate for the nomination.

DEATH IN THE VINE.
A 7-year-old Boy Crushed by Huge
Snake.


Macon, Ga, Aug. 17.-Tobe Wesley of
Twiggs county came to Macon to-day to
buy a coffin for his 7-year-old son who was
crushed to death by huge snake late
Thursday afternoon. The boy had gone
TO the field with his father and. while his
father was at work. wandered off a short
distance ard climbed a muscadine vine, as
was often his habit. On beiag unable to
find the boy when he had finished his
work about shutdown, the father went to
the house expecting to find him there, but
was informed by his wife that the boy
had not been home since he left for
the fields with his father. Without
feeling any uneasiness, Wesley, know
ing the habit of his boy went back to the
field, which was on the edge of a dense
swamp, bordered with muscadine vines,
and began searching the vines wnere he
had last seen his son going. BY looking
up in the vines he was not long in finding
him, but when ne called the boy failed to
answer After calling two or three times
and receiving no answer the father shook
the vine, ana TO his great horror saw
what he had supposed to be
one of the branches of the
vine that was supporting his son
begin TO uncoil. Realizing that his son
was in the coil of huge snake, Wesley
stood like he was rooted to the spot. and
before he could recover his senses the
snake completely uncoiled, and as the
boy fell TO the ground, distance of nine
or ten feet, Wesley picked him up and
ran from under the vines to the clearing
There his worst fears were realized as
his child was dead. On being carried to
the house and further examination made,
it was found that the child's breast had
been crushed and that its tongue and
eyes were protuding as though he had
been choked to death. Wesley is of the
opinion that the boy was asleep when
the snake coiled about him and the
branch of the vine at the same time and
gradually crushed his life out Wesley
does not know what kind of a snake it
was, as he did not see it after his son fell.

SENSATIONAL sLuaa1Na.
Atlanta Business Men Indulge Their
Pugilistic Propensities.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug 1.-THE candidacy
of Judge George F. Gober of the Blue
Ridge circuit for place on the supreme
court bench was the cause of a sensa-
t:onal fight in which Stephen \. Ryan,
the young dry goods merchant who
failed, leaving. a million in liabilities and
not much assets TO meet them, three
years ago, and who was sent to jail for
contempt of court by Judge Gober
because he failed to show
what had become OF all
the moneys that passed through
his hands, remaining there over year.
was the aggressOr. Gus Long, we'll
known man about town, the head of de-
partment in the dry goods house Of NJ.
Rich & Bros. was the other party 10 the
fight which occurred at Jones livery
stable on Forsyth street.
All the parties made a strong pull to
suppress the affair. but to-day the facts
came out, and Ryan and Long were SUM-
moned to appear in police court on a
charge of disorderly conduct Mr.. Long,
It develops, had been circulating
petition among business men
and merchants, indOrsing Judge Gober for
the supreme bench. Who or what
prompted his interest in the case does
not appear as yet, but in urging Judge
Gobers fitness, Mr.. Long made a strong
point of his action in the Ryan case.
He argued to the merchants that Judge
Gober was a friend to the creditor
classes. and had shown special act Of
friendiless toward the merchants in
sending Steve Ryan TO jail, thus putting
q veto upon his courses while they lasted,
played havoc with the regular trade
This fact came to Ryan's ears, and he
determined TO resent it. He cherishes no
good feeling toward Judge Gober in any
light. In fact, there have been reports in
circulation recently that he would en-
deavor to impeach Judge Gober. Friends
of Mr. Ryan also say that he has several
times contemplated seeking personal sat
isfaction of Judge GOOer.
Mr. Ryan and Mr. Long met acciden-
tally in Jones stable. Ryan at once APP
preached Long and demanded TO see the
petition he was circulating. Then
they had hot words about it. Ryan
claims that Long excused his referring to
his (Ryan'sJ Imprisonment by Gober by
saying that everybody knew Gober was
scoundrel and thief anyhow, but he
wanted to work him in the interest of
friend. Both men are of athletic build.
Ryan struck the first blow hitting Long
in the face. Before he could repeat the
attack bystanders interfered. The affair
has been the talk of the town to-day.
Ryan has always charged that he was
improperly treated by Judge Gober
