The attack made on Prowers coun-
ty republicans by mugwump Funder-
burg last week was caused by the
fact that the old pop realizes that the
rapidly decreasing vote of Kiowa
and Baca counties and the phenom-
enal increase in Prowers will prevent
last years scheme being repeated.
He betrayed his own district to help
Pueblo land sharks in their attempt
to steal our irrigation system; he at
tempted to turn the organization of
the house over to the pops; he as
sisted Waite in saddling $4,000
extra session on the state; he traded
off the republican candidate for com
missioner in his own County last fall,
and his sworn statement of expendi-
lures in that campaign is a disgrace
to himself, his district and his state.
That sort of man need never expect
the support of the Prowers county
republicans.

CHARTERS CUT NO FIGURE.
THEY DO NOT GENERALLY GIVE
COMPANIES THE RIGHT TO DIS
OBEY STATE LAWS.

/ They simply Give the Military Or
ganIzatiOns 10 which They Are
Granted the Powers OF "A Corpora
tfon-COI. Mercer Says the Governor
l. Not the Authority 20 Disband n
COmpaHy-That l. the Duty of the
Advisory Board.
Col George A Mercer. who recently
wrote Gov. Atkinson letter protesting
against the continuance Of the Gate City
Guard Of Atlanta as a military company.
while 10 does not obey the military laws
Of the state. was asked yesterday what he
had 10 say with regard to the
statement made by Col J.. F.
Burke OF that company to the effect that
he had avoided the issue. in fact that the
Guard is chartered company and. as Col.
Burke claims, has the right 10 continue
its existence as such as long as the charter
remains unrevoke1.
Col Mercer replied that ne had read the
interview. but had not had an opportunity
to examine the act of the legislature
passed in 1853, by which the Gate City
Guard was Incorporated. He said. how
ever. that many other companies in the
state are chartered by the legislature
among them being some of the Savannah
companies. but that this does not give
them any right 70 violate the military laws
OF the state. As an instance, he said no
bank in the state would have the right to
violate general banking law passed by
the legislature simply because IL was in
corDorated
AS a general thing" Col. Mercer said.
these charters simply give the company
10 which they are granted the powers Of
a corporation. with the right to sue and
be sued, but make them amenable to gem
eral laws passed with reference to them.
II the legislature should grant such a
charter giving a military company the
right to exist. without obeying the gene
raj laws on the subject of militia l do
not believe any court in the country would
hold it constitutional. The charters
granted in such cases usually carry with
them the provision that the company to
which they are granted must obey the
general laws passed with reference to
them"
Col, Mercer also stated that he by no
means wanted the government to dis
band the Guard. The governor, he said.
is not the proper authority to take such
action. as this is done by the military adj
visory board, under the laws OF 1885. If
the company persists in defying the laws
Of the state, he said. the advisory board
is competent to and should take testimony
on the matter and disband the COM
pany.

POLICEMAN AND FIREMAN GO.
One Hands in HIS Resignation and
the other l. Discharged.

A couple OF vacancies were created in
the police and FIRE departments yester-
day. Policeman S. L. Spencer announced
his resignation 10 Chief MeDermott and
turned in his uniform. The chief had dock
eted Spencer for rough handling Of a wo-
man whom he had under his arrest and the
latter simplihed matters by resigning.
Fireman John Duffy was discharged by
Acting Mayor screven. Duffy was charged
by a Mrs. Grimes. a neighbor. with ours
ing her and striking her in the mouth.
Duffy made a defense. His statement TO his
friends is that ne went TO his house on
President street Tuesday. when he saw two
or three negro children beating a little
child Of Mrs. Grimes. He drove the negroes
away and picking up the child. carried Il
into Mrs. Grimes house. The child was
making an cutlery and Mrs. Grimes at
once jumped TO the conclusion that ne had

rageous manner. She gave him no chance

others did not. The fire committee invcs-

tion as to the verdict. The committee has
made its report to Mayor Myers; but as
the latter is out OF the city the matter
viii not be made public until his return

to leave 1t to Mayor Myers. This mystery
looks ominous for the two men. Both

An unknown negro was run over and

The body was discovered by the engin-
eer of train No. "a coming into Savannah
1t was lying fastened In the trestle at the
edge of the river. The section master
was notified and extricated the body which
was badly mangled. 1t had evidently been
run over by some earlier train. The en-
gineer notified Master of Transportation
Williams OF the find and the latter notified
Coroner Goette, who went out in the ar
ternoon and held an inquest.
There was practically no evidence 20
work upon. The section master and his
hands who pulled the body out Of the
trestle were the only witnesses and they
knew nothing beyond the fact that the
body was found there The deceased was
apparently about % years of age. 1t was
supposed that he was stealing a ride on a
freight car fell asleep and dropped off
under the cars. No one in the neighbor-
hood knew him and so il was evident that
he was a wayfarer from some other sec
ton.
The jury brought ia a verdict that the
deceased came to his death by being run
over by a Florida Central and Peninsular
train and that his death was due to his
own negligence. The body which was in
bad condition was buried by Coroner
Goette near Burroughs sta ton

churches. fine hotels and costly public
buildings, court house, postoffice ard city

The number of commissioners in attend

important committees, but numbeld ing him
self among the younger brethren, he took
no prominent part in the impor tant dis

vote according to his convict ons. The
meeting was a most harmonious one, and
after a hearty vote of thanks to the people
of Dallas and to the churches for the use
of their pulpits and to the railroads for
reduced fare. and after a vote appointing
Memphis as the place for the next meet
ing in 1896 the assembly adjourned with

by Bullet.
William Mongin a negro convict at
Camp No. was seriously shot while try
ing to escape yesterday morning, by Guard
Moorehead who was taking a squad Of
convicts out to begin work.
Mongin watched his chance and when he
thought he had good opportunity made a
break for liberty. The ball from Guard
Moorehead's rifle however was swifter in
its flight, and struck Mongin in the right
shoulder from behind passing through his
lung and lodging in the pectoral muscles
of the right breast.
Mongin was a Boston negro, and was ar
rested here on a charge of the larceny of
a nickle plated horn worth S. from Isaiah
Rivers. He was convicted before Judge
MacDonell about a month ago. and was
sent to the chain gang for four months
Mongin is about % years old. He was in
bad condition last night the ball having
passed through his lung, and it was con-
sidered by the physicians in attendance
that there was no chance for him to sur
vive. He was getting along well, but his
chances were considered slim
Mongin said when asked why he tried to
escape, that he thought he saw a chance
and wanted to make the best Of it. He said
he had not been treated badly at the camp
and had no cause for complaint

TO COMPEL A TRANSFER.
A Suit Against the Central on Ac-
count of Foreign stock.


count of Foreign stock.
Mr.. Charles n. West, representing the
plaintiffs, filed the suit of William Schau,
administrator of the estate of Baron Sam
uel Arthur Won Haber against the Cen
trail Railroad and Banking Company in
the superior court yesterday.
Won Haber died in France, and among
other property left in this country were
twenty-three shares of Central railroad
stock and $500 in certificates of indebted
ness. William Schall was appointed an
cillary administrator by the surrogate in
New York city. and as such sold the
stock and debentures to the firm of Null
Ter, Schall & Co. The Central, however
through its proper agents, refused to
transfer the stock and certificates, on the
ground that the Georgia laws providing
for transfers through foreign admins
traitors did not refer to ancillary adminis-
traitors, and because the situs of the prop
erty was in New York and could not be
administered on there.
The bill states that the Central, being
an insolvent corporation il would not be
possible for the plaintiffs to secure a
judgment against II. and thoG, therefore,
ask that the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company be compelled to transfer the
stock and debentures to the purchaser,
Muller. Schall & Co. to whom it was sold
by the ancillary administrator.

One Goes 10 the Asylum, Two to the
Poor Farm and Another TO the Hos
pttal.
Four alleged lunatics were tried before a
fury in the court of ordinary at the jail
yesterday afternoon. All of them were
weak-minded negroes and in various states
OF insanity.
Clarinda Dennis, an old negro woman
who was sent over from the barracks on
a charge of lunacy was recommended by
the jury to be sent to the Georgia Infirm-
airy, as her attack of insanity does not
seem to be a severe one.
The jury recommended that Sylvia ,Weav-
er and Peter Fleming be sent to the poor
farm where it is believed some work can
be gotten out of them, and their cases
which are very mild can be under treat
nent from the county physician.
James Collin negro boy about eighteen
years old was declared fit subject for the
lunatfc asylum. His case was the only one
of a particularly serious nature, he being
subject TO epileptic fits. Sylvia Weaver has
been in the asylum before, and was arrest
ed some time ago for administering potash
10 her children, with a view II is believed
70 getting into the asylum again, or some
piace where she could be fed and taken
care Of. She win be given chance TO work
q out on the county farm.
