HENRY JONES DEAD.
Passing Away of Widely Known
Journalist.

Passing Away of Widely Known
Journalist.
Hon. Henry Jones, who has been
well known in political circles, both in
Georgia and in Washington died In the
latter city Tuesday afternoon after an
illness of several days with typhoid
fever. Although it was known that he
was severely i'll his death was unex-
pected, ns it had been but a short time
since he had been on the street and
mingling among his friends in the city.
Mr.. Jones was about SO years of age.
He was a native of Maine, but came
south early in life and engaged in jour-
nalistic work, his first engagement be-
ing with the Augusta Chronicle and
Const;tutionalist. He gained repu-
tstion as a writer while serving that
paper, and showed a special fondness
and aptitude for statistical and politi-
cal matters.
After short engagement in Florida,
Mr.. Jones became connected with the
Washington Post and remained with
that paper for several years.
When Hon. A. Il. Colquitt was elect
ed to the United States senate from
Georgia, he chose Mr.. Jones as his
private secretary and he served the
senator with the greatest ability until
his death severed the connection. He
then became secretary to Senator
Walsh, Senator Colquitt's successor.
He was recently made secretary Of the
American Bimetsllio League and was
filling that position at the time Of his
death.
Mr.. Jones was possessed of re-
msrksble memory and was a fluent and
interesting talker. AS correspondent
he was active, and his letters were al
wsys of q most entertaining character.

FAILED TO FIGHT.

Gov. Clarke Balks the Pugilists--COr-
bett Claims the Forfeit.
A special from Hot Springs says:
The long looked for day has come and
gone and still the championship of the
world is in doubt. COrbett and FitZ-
simmons did not fight Thursday nor
Thursdsy night and the chances are
not at ali favorable for a fight.
Corbett is in Hot Springs aud Fitz-
simmons is in Little Rock. While it
is true that the Australian has long
reach, he cannot reach to Hot Springs.
Governor Clarke pulled Fitz and
Julian in at Little Rock Thursday
morning.
Corbett was driven out ct II 80 q.
m. to Wilmington park. AS he step
ped from the carriage upon the tenn
porsry stage he announced to the birds
in the trees that he had fulfilled his
share of the agreement to the letter
and claimed the forfeit from the Flor
ida Athletic club. Then he rs-entered
the carriage and went back to the
town, still claiming to be the heavy
weight champion of the world.
The present programme is for them
to fight next Wednesday. But Cover
nor Clarke expects to wear them out
and make them so digusted by prose-
cutions that they will hunt another
state for the fight or give it up alto
gether.
From all appearances Fitzsimmons
will not be at liberty to partic-
ipate in a prize fight for sever
al days to come. The legal proceed
ings indicate that while Judge Martin
will not strain the law against the
lengthy Australian neither will no
hurry the proceedings along in order
to oblige the pugilistic contingent. II
this view of the case is correct, Fitz-
simmons may be detained for q
week while the attorney general and
the lawyers for the Hot Springs Ath-
letic Club argue the legal points.

EARTH TREMBLED.
KARFHoUAKE SHOCKS FELT
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
People Rush From Their Houses In
Alarm--Damage Very slight

Earthquake shocks were felt through
mt the United States from the Allan
tho to the Pacific and from Maine to
the Gulf st about five o'clock Thurs
day morning. At many places three
distinct shocks were felt The first
was preceded by o mighty roar like
that of distant thunder. This shock
lasted fully 20 seconds, and a second
and third, not quite so violent, lasted
about u seconds. The vibrations were
from southeast to northwest.
Adyices received from nearly every
city in the United States show that
the disturbance was general over a
large area Of country. In the larger
cities tall buildings were rocked and
violently shaken, causing the inhabit-
ants to rush from them in alarm.
Although the quake caused considera-
BILE fright and apprehension the dam
age was very slight The only report
of O serious nature was received from
Gadsden, Ala, which was to the effect
that several houses were wrecked and a
number of people injured.
A special from jackson, Miss, states
that the force of the shock was 80
great that number of buildings
were rocked perceptibIy. Should the
shocks occur again it is feared that the
capitol building will collapse, there
already being some cracks foot wide
in the walls of the third story, and the
building generally is in state Of de-
cay and q constant source of danger to
the employees.

The Whole City Turns Out TO Take In
the Exposition.
Not in the history of the city Of At
lante has there ever been such an out
pouring of Der population as on last
Thursday, "Atlants Day" Whitehall
street, always the gsyest thoroughfsre
of the city, presented only long Sc
ries of barred and locked doors, and
the patrolmen along the retail street
street we're trying the doors, Just as
they do when coming in on the night
watch. The only place where the
usual life and stir was seen was in
the neighborhood of the union depot,
whore steady streams of people poured
ont into Wall street from the main en-
trance, and where the call and cry of
the porter was heard as loud and bois-
ferrous as usual. Alabama street, the
street Of banks and Wholesale stores,
was deserted.
No smoke came from the tall chin
neys OF the cotton factories, and the
hum OF industry was hushed, and
throughout the city the trip hammers,
the FORCES, the lsthes were still, and a
silence like that of Sunday hung over
the city.
When the weather man announced
over the telephone in the early morn
ing that he was unable to announce
anything favorable in reference to the
weather, one was inclined to believe
him. When the daylight opened it
was one of the dsmpest, most disagree
able, most penetrating days that At

it turned out, Atlanta day, the day Of
all days, proved to be tho most diss-
sreeabls since the exposition opened.

His Birthday Celebrated at the Attain
Ia Exposition.


Three thousand employees of the
Plant system of railways and steam
ships met in Atlanta Monday 10 cele-
brste Plant system day at the EXPOSE
ton. They came on special trains and
as soon as the exposition. gates were
opened they began pouring into the
exposition grounds With the en-
ployes of the immense system there
came many of the prominent officials
of the lines.
At the exposition grounds all of the
visitors went to the Plant system
building where they viewed the mag
nifcent exhibit made there. At II
o'clock they went to the place where
the Columbian liberty bell is located
and Mrs. Plant rang the bell In honor
0f the day which was being celebrated.
At l o'clock they began assembling In
the auditorium and when the exercises
began there we're 5000 people in the
building.
When President Plant and his party
entered the building the crowd cheer
ed for several minutes. Hon. W. A.
Hemphill, the vice-President of the
exposition, made the welcoming
speech. He thanked the Plant sys-
TEN for their interest in the building
and their attendance. He congratu-
lated Mr.. Plant upon his life work,
upon having organized his splendid
system of railroads and upon reaching
his 10th birthday.
Hr. Hemphill was followed by Mayor
Porter King who extended the well
come os the city to the railroad men.
President Hemphill then proposed
three cheers for Mr.. Plant and as the
crowd cheered Mr.. Plant was escorted
to the center of the stand and when
the applause subsidized he thanked the
the officials of the fair on behalf of his
men for the reception that they had
received.
A resolution was offered by a promi-
nent employe, providing that the 9th
Of October of each year be set aside as
a holiday on which to celebrate Mr..
Plants birthday. The resolution was
unanimously carried.
Mr.. NJ. F. Plant, a son of the dis
tinguished railrosder, addressed the
sssemblage and thanked them for the
magnificent gathering they had made
in honor of his father.
There was q reception beginning
shortly before 8 o'clock by Mr.. Plant,
at which he shook hands with his en-
ployes, holding q short and kindly
talk with all of them. he was pre-
sented with many tokens of the affec-
ton and esteem of his employees and
friends. The tokens were from the
employees of all the companies con-
trclled by Mr.. Plant and we're very

The Jury Takes Only Ono Ballot to
Decide His Fate.
At Philadelphia Saturday 81. II.
Holmes was convicted of murder in
the first degree for killing Benjamin
F. Pietzel in that city on September
2, 1894. The jury needed but one
ballot to reach this decision.
The jury retired at 5:4b, at the con-
clusion of Judge Arnold's charge.
After the retirement of the jury from
the courtroom the spectators streamed
out into the corridors and eagerly dis
cussed what the verdict would prob
ably be.
At s 80 o'clock word was sent Judge
Arnold that the jury was ready to re-
turn the verdict When Judge Arnold
entered the room there were nearly as
many people present as had attended
the day session. The prisoner was
brought in and placed in the dock.
The jury came in and took their
places. The court ordered Holmes to
arise, and to the question of the court
the foreman of the jury pronounced
the fatal words: equity OF murder
in the first degree" The verdict was
greeted with absolute silence. The
word "guilty" fell upon Holmes with
stunning force. He exhibited no
emotien of any kind. The blow was
too stunning for noisy outbreaks. He
sat down and whilo the jury was polled
each man answered to his name, and
as each pronounced his sentence
Holmes stared vacantly before him.
His counsel at once made motion for
a new trial. Judge Arnold said that
he would hear the application for a
new trial on Monday, November 14th.

1t seems reasonable to presume that the
entire population of lone might be main
tanned for that amount, but as we are
merely analyzing the cost of maintaining
seven small boys and nineteen attendants,
keepers, servants or whatever you may
please to call them-two and ive-sevenths
guards, teachers, superintendent, farm
ers, gardeners, supervisors, etc, for each
boy-it would not be fair to presume any
thing not mentioned in the official report,
which is the basis of this inquiry.
1t will be noticed, also, that in this es-
innate 1925 is estimated for books and
magazines and $500 for school books and
supplies, an indication that the educa-
tonal advantages OF the Preston School of
Industry are exceedingly liberal. The sup
position that the nineteen superintend-
ents, farmers and supervisors are supplied
with their favorte books and magazines
would be as absurd as the assertion that a
copy of Trilby ''supplied' to the institu-
ton is used as a textbook on moral phil
osophy in the curriculum of Mr. Martin,
who is teaching the seven little convicts
for $50 month and three square meals a
day.
The cost of clothing and shoes" is es-
timated at $4,000 for two years. This is
$1,000 year for the wicken seven, or $285
each. 1t is safe to say that very few
honest laboring men pay as much for
their clothes, and California deserves high
praise for its generous treatment in this
regard of the children whom it loveth and
chasteneth.
This is only part of the record. Is the tax
payer pleased? Is he satisfied with this
distribution of his taxes? Is it necessary
