board Air Line.

that the Scaboard Air Line is negotiating
for the purchase Of the Macon and North

Of the United States court at Macon,

holders committee, and r.. Cursor HOff-
man, president OF the Seaboard Air Line,
have recently held several long confer
euces. Both gentlemen are absent from
the city at present, and no confirmation

the latter road, and il the deal is finally
made considerable change in the rail-
road situation Of the south would be the
result. The Macon and Northern is a
direct line from Macon to Atlanta, a dis
tance of 106 miles 1t has been known

scheme Of purchasing the Macon and
Northern and making traffic arrange
ment with the Georgia Southern and Flor

moreans, is likely to be decided upon.

give an impetus TO the movement such
as could nowhere else be found. Such 4

Cleveland Oenounces Clergymen
Who Spread Such Reports
He SAYS 1T IS AN OUTRAGE
Love OF Notoriety Impeis Ministers of
the Gaspei TO Become Cal
umniators.

Washington, April when the re-
conference at Salem, Mass, by Rev.
Lansing, and his subsequently p -
lished interview. accusing the presid~nt
Of intemperance, was shown to Mr..
Cleveland this evening, he said with
considerable warmth:
'This is simply an outrage, although
IL is not the first time a thing of this
kind has been attempted. L can not
avoid feeling of Indignation that any
man who makes claims to decency and
especially one who assumes the role of
a Christian, should permit himself to
become dissemination of wholesale lies
and calumnies not less stupid than they
are cruel and wicked.
81 easily recall other occasions when
those more or less entitled to be called
ministers of the gospel have been in
strumentai in putting into circulation
the most scandalous falsehoods concern
ing my conduct and character. The
elements or factors of the most
proved outfit for placing a false ana
barefaced accusation before the house
appear TO be: First, some one with
second. a minister with more gullibility
and love of notoriety than piety, greed
1ly willing to listen to it and gobble it,;
and third, newspaper anxiously will
ing TO publish it. For the sake of the
Christian religion 1 am thankful that
these scandalmonger ministers are few,
and on every account I am glad that
the American people love fair play and
justice. and that in spite of all efforts to
mislead them they are apt to form a
correct estimate of the character and
iabors of their public servants"

Henry Ide, who presides over the court
established for Samoa by the three powers

"This so-called chief justice Is a very
pleasant and agreeable man. Nature has
not been lavish with him in her gifts

choly feature about him is that he labors
under the impression that he is very
smart.

up to the absurdity to labelling an ordin-

chief justice. whose duties would be con-
Aned to the trial of an occasional native
