AyAEICIOUS ATLANTA.

A committee Of gentlemen representing
the business interests of Atlanta have
recently been TO New York, TO show
Samuel Spencer. Esquire, president OF TIE
Southern Railway Company, that 1t Is
10 the interest Of that company 20 have
its principal Offices in the city of Atlanta.
When Mr. John II. Inman was in con-
troll of the Terminal" properties, the
principal off ,es of the Richmond and
Danvlle railroad which nad Deen re-
moved from Richmond to Washington
were removed from Washington to At
lanta. as 1t was considered convenient
place for the operation of the Danvlle
railroad properties, which then included
not only the Georgia Pacific railway. but
the Central of Georgia. In June. 1892. the
whole concern went into the hands Of
receivers, and the principal Offices OF The
Richmond and Danville railroad ana It's
operated lines-eNcept the Central of
Georgia-were removed back to Wash
ington, where they now are.
When the great reorganization Of the
Terminal properties, including the Rich
mond and Danville and the East Ten
ncssee systems, was undertaken by Drexel,
Morgan e. Co., it was indispensable that
a very liberal act should be passed by
some Legislature TO make the rehabilita-
ton of these enormous properties eifec-
tive
II would have been useless TO have
asked the State of Georgia for any such
authority-the best efforts of some OF It's
leading legislators had been devoted to
the disintegration Of railroads, ana there
was no encouragement to go FOR WOOL
where the best prospect was only LOT
being shorn.
The application was therefore made
TO the Virginia Legislature. and a most
liberal law was enacted. Almost every
provision asked for was granted IN
ipsisinis verbs" and but few stipulations
were demanded-the only one OF any con-
ssouence was that contained In section

A MARYLANDER's VIEWS OF THE
lASE.

In another article this morning we nave
discussed some Of the features Of the
nomination of Mr.. Hurst by the Demo
cratic convention Of Maryland for Gov
ernor The following delightful commu-
nication TO yesterdays Baltimore sun
gives such a graphic picture Of the pro-
ceedings of a Boss's convention that we
cannot refrain from laying 1t before our
readers.
The most striking figure at the conven-
ton was Bernard Carter. He mad Deen
selected TO put Mr.. Hurst in nomination
because OF his fine presence, his force as
a speaker, his cool nerve, and his entire
lack OF any sense OF humOr The crowd
wanted TO hear him. 1t soon became up
parent. however, tia; the crowd was hot
going 10 stand any nonsense even from
MIN. When he took up the theme OF
Hursts being an independent man, the
idea was too much Tor the crowd and
they "kidded' him most numerically. IT
was plainly difficult for Mr.. Carter 10 ray
anything In favor of the nomination. lie
laDOred frightfully, his voice had none III
its usual ring and one man remarked,
'Why, he speaks like a lawyer who had
not gotten his retainer"
This had been bought and paid for. The
price of II had also been spent in spirits,
so that the gentlemen who were TO work
the enthusiasm were at times inconerent.
and they kept yelling "Hurrah Tor Hurst"
in a loud but mechanical way till era
sons speech for Judge Fisher topped the
real feelings of the meeting and then
they seemed 10 subside. The comedy OF
this was well appreciated by the crowd
and IL listened 10 the mechanical cheers
for Hurst IN Sood-hum0rcd silence.

Talbot might wish. In moment Il
became apparent that he was a good
speaker, and the crowd listened. Then
when he entered for his county protest
against the treachery OF German and his
vile attack upon the President and put
Judge Fisher in nomination, he topped
the pent OF enthusiasm OF the crowd.
Round after round OF applause stopped
the speaker, and II was some time be-
fore he again secured hearing.
Mr. Carter then put Hurst in nom.na-

of all the Christian virtues and a large
fortune. The audience listened In 81

Why the Blues Were the First to be Paid
for Their Services.
10 the Editor Of The Times:

10 the Editor Of The Times:
Sir.-The question as 10 why the hlcn-
inond Light Infantry Blues Battalion
was the first OF the troops to be paid
for the services rendered az Pocahontas
seems 10 disturb tho peace OF inind or
some peCpe in this state. ana III you VIII
pardon the Intrusion o. an outsider, can
show that, without partiahty CT laNoI ~

When the several companies were or
dered to POcahOntas many o. ttem pun
chased groceries at their hcMes ana ~
Pocahor tas. and in numerous instances
individual members bought arlcies %
cic thing. etc. without any warrant or
orier from Major VIM. T.. Simons the
commanding officer, and IN all thesc cases
the accounts were charged 10 ne SUI
CT course. the idea prevailed II AT III -"
accounts would be deducted on the pay
rolls OF the respective companies. Th-se
bills were sent TO Major Siinons py ti,@
hundred. ranging from a Few cents u
many dollars.
The purchasers often failed to give 10
the seller their names or tnat OF thrir
orsanization so when the pay-rolls were
sent 70 Major SimOns for approval,
good deal Of labor and patience was re-
quired 10 make the necessary deductions
and stfaishten out the accounts, ana ~
many Instances a satisfactory result could
only be reached after an elaborate cor
respOndence with the captains OF the an
fercnt companies. Major Simons sent 10
the Office OF the Adjutant-General every
pay roll for approval and payment as
soon as II was completed.
The payroll Of the Blues Battalion was
the first one sent forward. because Major
Sol Cutchins did not allow his men 10
contract any debts at PocahonIas. lie
assumed the responsibility for their sub
sistence. and their pay roll was free from
any deductions. IL was. therefore, but
a question Of five minutes work TO verify,
approve. aud forward the same.
lnasmuch as the payroll or the Blues
Battalion was the first one 10 reach the
Office Of the Adjutant-Gcncral. II was OF
course also the first one TO be paid. Is
there any Partially or favoritism In this2
Certainly not. The volunteers who served
at POcahOntas may consider themselves
fortunate I'm having received their pay
thus early. But for the cOmmendable care
and patience Of Major Simons, the pay
ment might have been delayed several
weeks longer.
At this writing all Of tile companies.
except the HarrisOnturg company. me
last one ordered TO POcah0ntas. have
been paid for their services.

An Explanation Of Certain Charges of Fraud.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-One evening after the recent spring
election / sent you dispatch, stating
tlat among other charges of fraud at the
several precincts in this county, al Stur-
seJrsvllle precinct. IL was charged that
the constable there refused to receive
written or printed instructions how TO
prepare ballots for the illiterate voters
who supported one set of candidates,
ana that he did receive such written in
stfuctlOns tcm supporters Of other can
dldates, and that he so marked or cOuu-
tersiened the paper upon which names
Of candidates were written that the friend
not the iliteratc voter performed his part
OF the contract. Within the last month
have been informed by the party who
made these charges 10 your correspondent
that he thinks now that he was mistaken
in his opinion and that he was led into
the mistake by the refusal of certain
friends of candidates 10 explain suspi-
cious conduct on their part and the state
ments of iiliteratc voters. lie wishes 10
precinct every proper motive. and believes
after careful investigation that he acted
with fairness to all parties.

evil upon close Investigation and COW

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Ihe great
rush OF European travel for the season
OF 1896 practically ended with the close
of the month Of July, and figures obtain
ed At the Passport Bureau OF the State
Department indicate that the summer eX-
odus was exceeded only two years since
the Passport Bureau was established.
During May. June. and July 6.552 pass
ports were issued. against sos In 1883.
when the Paris Exposition was held, and
$50 in 1891. Last year the number Issued
was 53c5. and IL was even lower than
tire year before when the Worlds
Fair was held In Chicago
The figures for the three months just
ended do not represent the real number
OF applications for passports. as many
letters containing money for their issu-
ance were stolen by an employe or the
State Department before they reached the
Passport Bureau. II is improbable that,
had this en-. bezzlement not occurred, the
figures for the present season would
have exceeded those for the season OF
1891.
