REPORTS ON THE RAILWAYS.
THE STATE COMMISSION MAKES UP
ITS ANNUAL STORY.

The MiIeage of tne steam Railways
in the state Increased over 100
Miles in the Past Year-A Valuable
Map of the Roads and Their sta
tionS-The Availability of Bring
ing the street Railways of the
state Under the Jurisdiction of the
Commission Under Consideration.
Atlanta, Ca, oct. 9.-The annual report
of the state railroad commission has been
completed II has some very interesting
facts concerning the railroad world in
Georgia, being much wider in scope than
former reports.
After all revisions have been made, the
report shows an increase Of over 100 miles
in railroad since last year.
Accompanying the report will be an ao-
curate county and station map of the
state. Every system in the state and
every road will be shown in different COZ
ors. the exact number of miles being
given and the correct position Of every
station. The map viii prove a valuable
aid to the legislators and 10 shippers, as
they can readily find any place, as well
as the distance from any one point in the
state to another.
Although no recommendation is made on
the subject to the legislature, the com
mission has been considering the advisa-
bility of placing the street railways under
the jurisdiction Of the commission, a bill
to that effect having been presented in
the House last session. and some import
ant street railways facts are set forth.
The taxable value of these Georgia street
railroads, that is the amount on which
they are taxed, is S1,674,077.
Atlanta leads the other cities of the
state, having twice as many miles of
street railway as any other city. eighty
eight. There is total of 1851, 10 worth of
street railroads in Atlanta. The diff
ference in the valuation of the roads is
quite perceptible in Atlanta as well as in
other cities in the state.
savannah comes next to Atlanta with
40 miles of street railway tracks, given
in at $f26072.
Augusta has % miles given in at $3.50 500.
Macon has 1872 miles given in at 1913 SOP.
Columbus has 2e miles given in at SllO,
$50.
A comparison of figures will be interest
ing; for instance Macon's 1872 miles being
valued at S323. 502 while the Atlanta Rail-
way Company's II miles is worth only $685.
$50, and the Consolidated, with it's 81 miles
Is given at only 1868, $50.

THAT ORLANDO WHIPPING.
IL Has stirred Up a Good Deal OF n
Sensation

Orlando Fla, Oct. 9.-W. A. Brawner.
who was so severely whipped at Maitland
last Saturday evening an account of which
was wired TO the News, was in town yes
terday. and filed information against his
assauants, and the sheriff went out yes
terday and served the papers on them
They are J. J. Heard, Frank Lawson,
sam Pullman and W. o. Rails. all promi-
nent citizens of the town.
They appeared this morning, and waiv-
ed an examination. and We're placed I'M
der bonds for their appearance at the next
term of the criminal court. They were
also placed under $50 peace bond each.
The News corresp ondent interviewed
Mr.. Heard. He frankly admitted MS par
ticipatiOn in the assault. and said ne had
no apologies TO offer or regrets Tor MS
act. From the statement or Mr.. Hearu
the difficulty had its origin in some church
disagreement several months ago, when
RraWncr and the pastor OF the Methodist
church had falling out. 1t has been
growing broader ana more compllcslleu
ever since. Mr.. BraWner Withdrew from
the church at that time, and Mr. Heard
claims that those who sided with the min
lister have ever since been marked as tar
gets for Brawner's malice. Several weeks
ago parties began receiving anonymous
letters charging gross immortality ana re-
fleeing upon the characters OF ladies'
These letters were of most Qastafuly
nature. Their vileness was shocking, ana
their frequency made the matter unbear-
able Mr.. Heard says that these letters
have been traced TO Brawner. The latter
stoutly denies all knowledge of them or
connection with them.
The community became so wrought up
over the affair that on Saturday after
noon last an Indignation meeting was
held. 1t was attended by the leading men
of the place. At this meeting 1t was de-
cided that owing to the vileness OF the let
tiers. and the imputations against good
women, that the matter should not go
into court where the letters would be
placed in evidence and thus made public.
The aggrleved parties decided to take mat
tiers into their hands and administer such
punishment as they thought the case de-
served Acting upon this decision the four
who were most outraged proceeded TO give
the'man whom they believed guilty fog
ging.
Mr. Heard says I'VE did 1t, / gave him
more than any of the rest, and feel that
] did the right thing. 1t was in defense OF
the honor of our wives, sisters ana moth
ers. and we would do the same thing again
under similar circumstances.
Mr. Brawner denies all connection with
the letters and AYERS that he can prove
his innocence. and will do it at the proper
time.

A DOUBTFUL COLLEGE SCHEME.
The Attendance at the state Normal
school Very Large.

Athens, Ca, Oct 9.-The committee of
the University of Georgia faculty has
reported that the idea of uniformity of
requisites for admission into the differ
ent classes of the university, Mercer, and
Emory is a good thing. but that it is
doubtful whether anything can be ac-
complished in that line, as the requisites
at present are so divergent. The matter
will be more fully discussed before any
final action is taken on 1t. The faculty
brought this matter up after a letter
had been received by Chancellor Boggs
from President Gambrell of Mercer, maxi
ing this proposition.
A few days since a party of men de-
sired to open barroom in Banks county,
and thought they had selected a spot
that was not within three miles of any
church or school house They were
measuring to ascertain this fact posi-
lively, and while so doing ran across two
stills in full blast.

three of her fingers were broken, one Of

her death.
One of the first physicians to reach her

saUIREs' PRELIMINARY TRIAL.
He Is Charged with killing J. p
LAMB

He Is Charged With killing J. p.
Palatka Fla. Oct. 9.-The preliminary
trial of b. F. Squires, charged with the
murder of J. P. Lamb. is being held to-
day. The killing occurred one week ago,
near Horse Landing, in this county, the
murdered man being found lying face
downward across the road, with eight
buckshot in his neck. Squires was sus-
pected, and at the instance Of the coroner's
jury, was arrested. The trial to-day was
before Judge Cox, with Col Williams as
prosecuting attorney and Judge Wigg for
the defense. Six witnesses were exam
ined, but very little evidence was brought
out to show the guilt of Squires. The ev-
idence is entirely circumstantial, and ii is
there were several men who had as much
provocation for killing Lamb as Squires
had. Lamb seems to have acquired a bad
reputation by threatening and intimidat-
ing his neighbors. The evidence seems
to show that Squires and Lamb, when last
together agreed to settle their disputes
and to be friends Squires suggested a
deer hunt the next time Lamb went
across the river, and the latter agreed to
1t. There are a number of witnesses to
be examined yet, and probably Judge Cox
will not be able to say before tomorrow
night whether Squires will be dismissed
or bound over to the circuit court.
This case is attracting a good deal of at
tention, because Ii has been number of
years since a white man has been charg-
ed with murder in Putnam county.

Miss Clara barton Before the

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 9-NIiss Clara Barton
was the star speaker at the national coun-
Gil of women to-day. Her address on the
Red Cross movement was delivered in the
womans' building. Speaking of the pur-
pose Of the Red Cross Society, its presi-
dent said: It's basis was neutrality. 1t
made neutral all sick, disabled or wounded
soldiers; all persons, surgeons, and at
PENDANTS who cared for them; all supplies
of medicine or food for their use; all field
and military hospitals with their equip
ments, all gifts from neutral nations for
the use of the sick and wounded from any
army; all houses near or about that re-
ceive and nurse wounded men. None of
these should be subject to capture. IL pro-
vided for the sending of wounded men to
their homes, rather than to prisons; that
friend and foes should be nursed together
alike in all military hospitals, and most Of
all, that the people who had always been
forcibly restrained from approaching any
field of action for the purpose OF relief,
however needful, should not only be al
lowed this privilege, but should arm and
equip themselves with relief Of all kinds
with the right TO enter the lines of the
helpless; thus relieving, not alone the
wounded and dying, but the armies of
their care.
