WANDERER IN A STRANGE LAND.
Son of a COnstantinople Merchant Sent
to the WOrKhOuse.

Yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock. as
patrolman Dilts was passing the Statehouse
square near the Hendricks monument he
saw lying on the grass, about thirty feet
from the corner, a man apparently in a
drunken slumber. He aroused the fellow,
but found that he was merely a homeless
wanderer, a stranger in the city, without
money or acquaintance. He sent him TO
the police station, where the fellow was
slated for vagrancy under the nsme OF
Soon Horrassaplan. He is twenty-one years
of age and the son Of a prominent mer-
chant at Constantinople. When the Rev.
Il. L. Sweeney, of Columbus, this state,
was consul-ge neral during President Har-
rison's administrator at Constantinople he
became a fast friend of Horassapian's faith

10 the police station, where he remained
over night. and on the following morning
was sent to Columbus on a pass furnished
by the township trustee. He arrived again
in this city Wednesday afternoon, and had
wandered about the city until he became
weary and footsore. and finally made his
bed where he was found by patrOlman
Dilts. He found upon arriving at Columbus
that there was but a small chance of his
getting an opportunity TO pursue his medi-
cal studies, and after remaining with his
old friend for a short time left the place.,
determined TO carve his way TO success by
his OWN ~endeavor. He was embarrassed in
court and was unable to tell his story.
Judge Stubs fined him SO and costs. and
he went TO the Workhouse.

CITY'S SANITARY CONDITIONS.
The Local Society Considers Its Best
Methods of Work.

The regular monthly meeting of the SAM
tary Society was held yesterday afternoon.
There was considerable discussion over the
sanitary conditions of the public school
buildings and the markets. The report
which DIR. Hurry recently made TO the
Board of Health about the condition Of
Tomlinson Hall was reviewed by him, and
it was his opinion that the market master
could not do much better till the place was
put in a better condition and necessary
sewer connection had been made. In re-
gard to the West market the thing desir-
able would be to tear the whole affair
down. Among the places hat need rene
dies are the groceries, commission houses,
creameries and other places where food is
kept. 1t was reported that some of the
colored sisters who had been asked to as
sist in making their neighborhoods more
sanitary wanted a salary for their work.
DR.. Hurry gave an experience in visiting
with a sanitary officer a part Of town where
one mar owns nearly a square. and 1t is
closely built with teneTnents. Many Of the
yards are soaked with and ref
use, but one, where a German woman
lived, was grassy and she had flowers,
which showed that the bad condition was
not necessary. At the next house where
they went they were received with such a
TRADE of abuse that they escaped as rapid
ly as possible.
Miss Florence Howe, who works in the
northeast part of the city, and has ac-
complished much good, told of her Sunday
school class, which she had organized into
a small sanitary society. The Members
were so drilled in the work that they were
the chief investigators of unsanitary condi-
tons in her ward. She also spoke of the
poor food people eat, ad thinks she can
see a great dwindling in the health of the
children of families that eat this food. DIR.
Hurry was asked as TO the best work for
the Sanitary Society. He said his plan of
campaign would not be diffusive. He would
take one course and pursue it. Just what
the course would be he was not prepared 10
say. The greatest scientists have worked
on one thing alone, and not many things,
TO accomplish great results. The women of
the society see so many things that need
attention. The poor food that is exposed
for sale, surface wells with water that is
poison and numerous dangers which threat
en- the health of the community have taken
such a hold on the interest OF the society

Odd. e. Stone Plant, Burned Yesterday,
Will Be Rebuilt.

BY the burning of the d. f. Stone furniture
establishment. at Pike and Sheldon streets,
Wednesday night, the Advance Manufac-
turing Company, under which name the
d. Z. Stone company was reorganized, will
lose $50, 00O. Besides this amount George II.
McCaslin, trustee, had stored in the ware
house SIS, 900 worth of manufactured furni-
ture. All of this was materially impaired.
The factory is about two blocks distant
from the Atlas works, and the watchmen
of both establishments got out a line of
hose from the Atlas works and attempted
to put out the fire, but the buildings were
dry and burned like paper. The total
amount of insurance on the buildings and
stock was $1,000. The insurance was placed
with the agency of Robert Martindale. The
engine which were quite valuable were
ruined. The firemen who responded to the
alarm say that the fire was the hottest
they ever experienced They remained on
water en- the charred and Smoldering pile
of brick and timberS.
The Advance Manufacturing Company
purchased the establishment at the trus-
tees sale some months ago. The company
had a capital stock of 5000, owned Jointly
by the thirty-five men employed in the
manufacture of furniture. Business was
hourishing with the concern and prospects
were bright. The machinery alone was
valued at $1,000, the buildings at 5000.
the manufactured goods at 50, 600, and the
lumber varnish and miscellaneous goods at
5000. While the tiremen are inclined to be-
lieve that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary, the stockholders are not OF that
opinion. The Waterman first discovered the
flames leaping from an upper window, but
saw no one arOund the place during the
of the flames. The stockholders say that
the factory will be rebuilt soon.

WESTERN ROADS ESTIMATE A LOSS

Drought Largely Responsible, but
Freight Business Expected to Pick
Up Later-Cut-Rate Talk.

The Western roads estimate that their
earnings have fallen off from 20 TO 10 per
cent. on account Of the drought. This, on
top Of the strike. added TO the fact that
passenger traffic is exceptionally light, has
made the railroad officials feel the reverse
of hilarious, but they pin their faith to the
freight earnings, which, barring the
drought, are as heavy as usual at this
time OF the year. Earnings OF the Chicago,

in July were $685., 493, a decrease of SS6.024

From Alabama About the Coming
Nominees.

nominees.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May l6.-
The following is special to the
Daily States from the Montgomery
Advertiser, the chief supporter Of
Congressman Oates, in Alabama:
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 10
The question as to who will be the
Democratic nominee for governor
Of Alabama will probably be settled
beyond any doubt today. All coun-
ties are holding conventions to
select delegates to the State con-
vention, which meets on May
%. There has been no change
in the situation, further than
to confirm the report that
Lowndes and Mobile counties are
solid for Oates. The Johnston peo-
pie have been vehemently claim
ing these two counties, notwith-
standing the fact that the returns
showed that they had gone for
Oates. Judge "Pet" Gallery, the
leader of the Johnston forces in
Lowndes county, admitted the loss
of the county, this morning, and
Col. Price Williams telegraphed to-
day that Mobile county's II votes
would go Tor Oates, beyond doubt.
Marriage and Morgan counties,
which Johnston has been claiming
is now conceded to Oates; from
State and Lee, heretofore doubtful
counties, come combinations that
they will cast their vote for Oates.
Shelby is close, and nothing has
been heard from Pickens and Win
ston. Oates friends claim 2S7 votes,
81 more than enough to nominate.
Tuscaloosa, Dallas, and Limestone
act today, and are holding primary
and county conventions the same
time. Oates will get good share Of
their vote. Both sides are fighting
for Limestone county. Col. Oates
and Capt. Johnston, are at
Athens today, the seat of Lime
stone county, as we'll as
Congressman benson, Johnston
supporter. A majority Of the
county conventions today do not
meet until noon, and it will be
along in the afternoon before any
news of their action will come.
The Oates men in the city are ubi-
liant. Johnston claims he will be
renominated.
