Motorman shelton Wants His ReIa-
lives tO.ThInk He l. Dead.

There IS a mystery surrounding the
actions OF Malcolm A. Shelton. a motor
man on the Electric railway. tits believed
that Shelton desires himself 10 be thought
dead. For what purpose is not known.
The Morning News had a story last
night Of the finding Of a body supposed
to be that OF Shelton, on the Central rail-
road short distance this side Of Bloom
ingdaie. yesterday afternoon. The body
lay across the track. In the right tenn
pie was a bullet hole. and in the dead
mans hand was a revolver with enc
chamber discharged. In his pockets were
a Central Railroad time schedule. a tele-
gram 70 Shelton from his wife in Atlanta.
and also a postal card from his wife and
a number OF Electric railway time cards.
The body, 1t was stated. was discovered
on the track by the engineer Of the
through freight from Macon. who stopped
his train and sent his train hand ahead,
supposing that the man on the track
was asleep. An Investigation showed that
he was dead.
The story was brought TO the Morning
News by party purporting TO be
George Summers, train hand
on the freight train, which. he said. dis
covered the body. Charles Hackney, It
was stated, was engineer and j. r.. Smith
conductor. Inquiry at the Central railroad
offices failed to confirm the story. No
such engineer, conductor or train hand is
employed by the Central Further in
CURRY at the Electric railway Office at
once threw discredit on the story. Shell
ton has been in the employ of the Elec-
trio railway about two years He quit
work Wednesday night complaining Of
being sick. He lived with his wife's
mother, Mrs. Barr on Habersham street
south Of Anderson. He has a 12-year-old
son, who also lives with Mrs. Barr Shell
tons wife is in Atlanta, and has been
sick there. Shelton left the house early
in the Afternoon Before he left he said
he was going to Atlanta. lie had not
returned up to late last night. His son
said his father told him ne was going
to see Mrs. Shelton. He evidently did not
go, as several Electric railway employees
claim to have seen him up to 10 o'clock.
The supposition is that Shelton started
the story for the purpose of creating the
impression that he was dead, though
what motive he had in so doing no one
seems to understand. Shelton is a short
thick-set man, with sandy mustache. full
face and rather dark hair. The police
had no knowledge Of him last night. Shell
ton-if he is the man-seemed particularly
anxious 10 have his wife learn of his TAX
ing off.

WALLACE FINED ON ONE CHARGE

The Central Wants a New Hearing
in the Foley Damage suit.
R. G. Wallace. who was tried in the city
court on a charge Of assauIung and beat
ing Conductor c. NJ. Malphus OF the EIec-
trio railway on Dec. p, and also on a
charge Of carrying concealed weapons,
was found not guilty yesterday by Judge
MacDonell Of the charge of assault and
battery but guilty OF the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons. For this latter Of
Tense he was sentenced to pay fine of
S25 and costs or serve three months on the
chain-gang. Wallace was defended by
Maj. p. w. Meldrim and William Pease,
Esq.
In the city court yesterday a motion for
a new trial was argued in the case of
James Foley against the receivers of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company.
Foley bought q ticket from a sealper in
Atlanta and was put Off the train ten miles
from that city on his way to Savannah,
when the conductor found out the circum-
stances under which he had purchased his
ticket. He sued the road for damages and
was given a verdict for 81 1900. The attor-
ney for the receivers made a motion for
new trial, on several grounds, holding
that the conductor was justified, under
the circumstances, when the plaintiff re-
AN'Cu ~ pay ms Adies Dut MAKING the
point principally that the verdict was an
excessive one in such a case, as the only
material loss to Mr.. Foley had been his
railroad fare between Atlanta and Savan-
nah. The case is one of much interest,
not only to the Central railroad. but to
other railroads as well, on account of the
fact that it involves the scalper question,
and the right of a man to travel on a ticket
so purchased, on which a contract was
made between the road and another party
who was the original purchaser. If the
plaintiffs verdict is maintained in the city
court there is no doubt whatever that the
case will go to the supreme court, on ac-
count Of its importance to the roads as
test case.
The city court adjourned last night at s
o'clock for the term. This is the adjourn
ment of the civil term and the criminal
business will go on as usual.

Col. Way to Bring Action Against

It is understood that Col c. H. Way,
as trustee for Mrs. Francis NJ. Way
will bring another suit against an insur-
ance company in the city court to-day.
This suit viii be against the British
America Insurance Company of Toronto.
Canada, for the amount of a policy on the
house and furniture of $3.50. This com
pany is represented by the same agents
and adjusters, and by the same general
agent for the state as is the Western
Assurance Company of Toronto, the suit
against which, recently tried in the city
court, was won by Col. Way, he receiving
a verdict for $4,000 This suit contains
about the same points and involves the
same questions as did the suit against the
Western Assurance Company. II is
hardly probable, however, that it win in
volve as long a trial as did the other
case.

ascertain whether or not the expense Is
commensurate with the benefits derived

an opinion as to whether the tug shouId
be disposed of or whether the city should

luxury. 1t is for council to investigate the
subject and decide whether it is best to
