THE sLANDERoUs REPORTS

OF JAPANESE CRUELTY TO PRISONERS
 STARTED BY GUILTY CHINESE.
 NEW YoRK, Jan. 1.-The United Press special correspondent writes as follows, under date of Tokio, December z, 1894: alluded in my letter to reports being cur rent that unnecessary slaughter and even cruelties had been committed by the Japa- nese at the taking of Port Arthur, and at the same time expressed my firm convic- ton that such reports were untrue. 1 have now traced these reports to Chinese sources. They were started from Che Foo.
 Meantime 1 had made direct inquiries of the general headquarters at Hiroshima. The chief secretary has wired me some de- tails in reply authorizing melto make pub lie the information. Official reports have been received, and some foreign corre- spondents who returned after the fall of Port Arthur had visited Count Ito and General Kawakami.
 They were loud in their praise of the bravery and discipline of the Japanese troops, whilst they spoke in abhorrence of the savage inhumanity of the Chinese, aud how atrociously they had butchered any unfortunate Japanese who fell into their hands or mutilated the dead on any field which for a time remained in their hands,

A RECEIVER APPOINTED

TO WIND UP THE BUSINESS OF THE FIRM
 OF R. A. JONES co.
 The rumor was afioat yesterday afternoon that the firm of R. A. Jones & Co. wholesale tobacco dealers, had made an assignment in favor of the Berney National bank, to whom they were greatly indebted, and that totes held against them by the bank not being paid WIS the cause of the as- signment.
 MT. Cobbs was interviewed last night at his home by an HERALD reporter, and MT. Cobbs said: ''There is not word of truth in the reports circulated. The firm is not indebted to the bank, nor are any of their creditors, if they have any, pressing them.''
 For some time the firm has been trying to come to an amicable settlement. MT. Jones made Mrs. Cochran an offer for her interest in the business, but it was not sat- isfactory. A dissolution of partnership was proposed, but no suitable settlement could be made. Finally they agreed to ap- point a receiver, take an inventory of their goods, outstanding accounts, etc., pay of their creditors and make settlement by an equal divide, thus dissolving the firm of R. A. Jones & Co.
 Mir. J. B. Cobbs was agreed upon as the person to adjust their affairs, as he is known by every one to be q thorough busi- ness man and has acted for several firms as . receiver in eases where dissolution was de- sired.
 Mir. Cobbs said that he had no idea what the firms assets or liabilities are, but is cor nfident that their assets would cover their liabilities. Furthermore Col. R. A. Jones, Sr. is personally responsible for all indebtedness of the firm.

WITH THE RAILROADS.

II A crisis seems to be near at hand in the affairs of the Southern Passenger associa- tion, and unless something is done very soon the days of this organization are but jew. The question as to whether it shall live or die will have to be decided between now and January 15, for nearly every road in the association has signified intention of withdrawal on that date.
 Commissioner E. B. Stahlman in re- cent interview said:
 ''There is probability that it will go to pieces. Practically all of the roads have signified their intention of withdrawing. or course you will understand that there is a possibility of the association holding to- gether. l shall do what becomes my posi- liou to do in behalf of holding the assocla- tiou intact, but l cannot oppose the will of the stockholders of the roads which are mem bers, if they have their minds made up to abolish the association.'
 In short, the situation is that several roads have become dissatisfied, and the others know well enough that they alone cannot hold it together.
 The association is composed of twenty four of the leading lines of the southern states and has been the means of saving millions of dollars to the roads belonging 10 it. This has been done by the establish ment and maintenance of rates, thus pre- venting indiscrininate rate sashing and the encouragement of rate wars.
 The trouble which Will, II It comes. cause the death of lthe organization began last September in New York, at which time the Queen and Crescent served notice of It's withdrawal. The action of the Queen and Crescent was caused by an alleged viola ton of competing line and member of the associatiop, the Louisville and Nashville, which cnried about 1909 Knights of Pythias to Washington at less than the tariff rate. On this deal the Queen and Crescent claimed that they lived up to the rules of the assccia- tion, and that by doing so they lost travel to Washington.
 One grievance among the roads followed another, until now there has been general shake up, and the probability is that MT. Stahlman will have to hunt another job

 COL. ". c. P. BRECKENRIDGE.
 ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 4.-Coi. w. c. P. Breckinridge read with much interest this morning the account of the fight between his law partner, Shelby, and Editor Moore of Lexington. "My law partner is a very little man,' he said. ''I should say be hardly weighs more than 120 pounds, and am'rather amused at the account of his breaking Il walking stick over the edtor's head. He is full of Kentucky blood, however, and am noS surprised to hear of his belligerent spirit aroused. He considered himself ag- grieved no doubt by the editor's language applied to him in connection with the other gentlemen named, and felt that under the circumstances it was the duty of 9 man of courage and honor to demand satisfaction .''
 ''Do you expect to put on your war paint and feathers when you get back to Ken lucky and take hand in the present fight that is now going on?''
 .'I have no such intentions at present., , said Colonel Breckinridge. s'I am now on my way to Washington where 1 ex pect 10 re- suine my legislative duties. have no pres- ent aspiration in which l care to speak and my movements after the 1st Of Marcn beyond the practice of my profession are not even known to myself. -

SEALE SETTINGS.

SEALE, Jan. 3.-[Special Correspond. ence. IA marriage in which all our people feel deep interest, because of the affection and respect in which we hold the bride, took place this morning at 9:30 o'clock at the Methodist church here. The parties to the solemn contract were Mir. John G.. Owen ot Waverly Hall, Ga., and Miss Car. rie R. Boykin, the lovely eldest daugh hter of MT. and Mrs. H. B. Perry of Scale.
 1hs altar in the church had been taste- fully decorated with the beautiful native wild palmetto, bamboo and ivy vines, and was indeed beautiful. Messrs. Cliff Mar tin and Lucien Lewis, the ushers, first took position, one at each corner of the altar railing; then eight young ladies entered and stood pear them-Misses Mary Lou Leslie of Girard and Mary Pitts of Pitts. boro, Fanny Mitchell of Columbus, Edna Jennings of Scale, Grace Martin and Ema Holland of Scale, Sallie Poykin of Auburn and Emma Martin of Scale. The two to be united then took position just in front of the preacher, the Rev. J. W. Solomon. who pronounced the words which made them man and wife.
 The happy pair left soon after the csre- mony on the 1929 train for Waverly Hall, the home of the bridegroom. Many beautiful and elegant gifts were given the fair bride, for there was none sWeeter or more beloved than she, and all good wishes and blessings follow her and the man of her choice.
 MT. Owen is a gentleman of high stand ing in his community and has a lovely home for his bride.
 Dr. and Mrs. Ashford, sister and brother in-law of the groom, came over to the wedding; also Miss Julia Howard of Tus- kegee.
 The weather has been very cold since last Thursday. The lake was frozen over ou Sunday last. The boys tried to get a shot at some mallard ducks which were flying about the lake, but the intense cold and high wind interfered.
 A hen out in the Hitchity settlement has distinguished herself by matching out twelve chickens, each one having four legs and feet. The fore legs turn backward :, the joints at the knees turning towards the head. The little things walk right alon 2, but the trouble is one cannot tell which way they are going. Only one had died at last accounts. and greater curiosity l Dever saw.

A BIG HAUL.
1he Police Succeed in Capturing a Number of Negroes Known to
 Have Committed Burglary.

The police got in some good work yester day morning. About o'clock yesterday morning Captain Weir and four other of- ficers started for the Southside to capture some negroes who were wanted for bur glarizing the dry goods store of Caheen Bros. & Co. and the commissary of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany few days ago. They proceeded to the negro quarters near Twenty y-fourth street and Avenue B, and in an hour had four negroes under arrest.
 Each of the negroes was arrested at his own home, and DO two in the same place. Where each negro slept was found assort- rnents of dry goods and clothing which had been stolen, some of which had been worp, while the other had not.
 At4:30 o'clock Abe Harris, Earle Crank field, John Burns and Philip Ross were locked up in the police station, charged with burglariziug the store of Caheen Bros. & Co. The police, who were out chasing after these burglars, did not end their work until o'clock in the morning. All the goods recovered were carried to the off, flee of the chief of police. Several suits of clothes, lot of underwear, handkerchiefs, shoes and other furnishing goods were among the lot. Some of the recovered goods belong to Caheen Bros. & Co.,, while there Is some of it that belongs to the com missary of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
 Yesterday afternoon Officer Gambill ar- rested Will Jackson, a negro, upon the same charge as the ones arrested early in the morning. He had on some clothing which is thought to have been stolen, and is held as a suspicious character. He was locked up on charge of burglary.
 Late last night Captain Weir and Officer Gambil arrested Robert Nicely, another negro, supposed to be one of the gang who have been stealing so much here of late. He had on a suit of clothes nearly new and bearing the description of some of the goods stolen the last time Caheen's store was burglarized.
 It is thought that two or three negroes did the stealing and that the stuff was then divided up among a gang.

---------------- THE STRIKE SITUATION
AT HoMEsrEAD AND BRADDoCK SEEMS TO
 HAVE TURNED INTO A CALM

HAVE TURNED INTO A CALM.
 HOMESTEAD, Pa., Jan. 4.-At Home- stead this morning there was little or no excitement. The streets were thronged only with the usual number of people and in the vicinity of the Carnegie Steel works there was not the slightest sign of trou ble. Several departments of the big mill were off and but few men stood about the ards. This morning final conference was held between Manager Schwab and the stocking shearmen and settlement reached. The { likelihood now of.a strike of any propor- ton at Homestead seems entirely removed. ] At Braddock everything was quiet, with no indication of an outbreak, although precautions are being taken against any emergency that may arise. The stockers have called meeting for next Monday, at which they Mill take action on the ultima tum issued by the Carnegie company. Sev. eraI furnaces were blown in this morning, and the company is determined to break the strike at any cost.
