ATLANTA's GAS METERS.
Their Inaccuracy May Bring Many
Suits for Rebates

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 24.-The accuracy of
the gas meters furnished consumers by the
Atlanta Gas Light Company. which has a
monopoly of the business, has been
brought into serious question, and ]. NJ
High & Co., large dry goods merchants,
have determined to make a test case
against the gas company in the courts
Some time ago High & Co, had their me-
ters tested and they were found to be in
accurate, registering a good deal more gas
than was consumed. A claim was made
against the gas company for a rebate of
about 5000, the amount being based on a
calculation of the percentage of fastness
shown by the meters and the length of
time they had been in use. The gas COM
pany had their inspector test the meters
and admitted that they were inaccurate,
but wanted to compromise on the rebate,
which High q Company refused to do. pre-
ferring to go to law about 1t. The com
plant is now general throughout the city
that the gas company has been using me-
tiers that falsify and 1t is not unlikely that
the company will have an avalanche of
claims for rebate or lawsuits on its hands
as the work of testing the meters goes on
in the city. The testing is being done by
a Cincinnati firm who make a business Of

CHARLEsTON's POLICE.
Gov. Evans 10 Put the City Under
the Metropolitan System.

Charleston. S. c.. Jan. A.-There has
been more talk recently about Gov. Evans
intending to put the metropolitan police
bill in force in Charleston. The last legis-
lature gave a board. of which he is presl-
dent. the power to do so. whenever the
board found that the dispensary law was
not being properly enforced in cities of a
given size. From information received here
to-day. little doubt remains that the me-
tropolitan bill is TO be made effective here
Recent events, however, make IL evident
that this action is being taken by Gov.
Bvars more because Capt. j. Elmore Mar
tin was not re-appointed chief of police
than for fear that the dispensary law is
not to be enforced under the new munich
pal administration. He is reported to have
said that he would bring forward the me-
tropolitan bill unless his friend Martin
was retained, and now little doubt remains
that Charleston is to have a metropolitan
force. Several gentlemen are being men
toned in connection with places on the
local board of police commissioners to-
night. Among them are: A. c. Kaufman,
II. p. Williams, T. s. Wilbur and James
NJ. Eason, all state reformers, but it is
thought that the last three mentioned will
probably be the men. Mr. Wilbur, when
spoken to tonight, denied that a place on
the board had been offered him, but there
is no longer any doubt but that Gov. Evans
will give Charleston a metropolitan sys-
tenn of police.

Macon, Ga. Jan. 24-The sale Of the Ma

was made on the part Of the attorneys

strucuOn Company, who claimed that the
price Of $500 is not half the value Of
the road as II now stands a number OF
prominent lawyers were interested in the
case, and il is expected that about go

The Macon and Birmingham road sold
for $4,000, and the purchaser was also

In addition TO the $4,000 that was re-

cal misunderstanding between Mr.. Gar
rard, counsel for the purchaser, and Mr..
King, counsel for the holders of the lease
warrants, the Sl6S 400 was not in court or
in the city of Macon to-day. Judge FELTON,
refused to sign the decree of confirmation
until the $l6S, 400 was in court for pay

Mr.. Garrard's client be allowed until next

rard stated that the money would posi-
lively be here just as soon as the tele-

the fact that some difficulty is experienced
at Macon in getting Boston exchange, the

the purchaser of the road may have to
go from Boston TO New York to obtain ex-
change. Confirmation is a certainty, and
all that remains is the payment of the
