court Dy buc ulSlIlCJ dJJOIucy dS SOOu as he had investigated the facts.
 The expense to which the town has been put in defending the litigation
 inaugurated against it has served on- ly to delay it's progress and put off the anticipated reduction in revenue, that
 would now be accomplished had not the council been obstructed in it's
 work.
 The town has also been visited by
 infectious disease, which has received
 the careful attention of the council and it's subordlnates to prevent it's be- coming epidemic. Patients were iso-
 lated and cared for at the pest house, guards put out to prevent intercourse
 with outsiders, all infected houses
 thoroughly fumigated, nurses and phy- sicians employed, and medicines and provisions furnished the patients, who were without means. By it's prompt and thorough action the council has succeeded in stamping out small pox, there having been no case in more than six weeks Before the council began it's work there was continuous succession of small poX cases through many months and it required vast amount of active and effective work by the council and it's subordnates to bring the fell disease under control and compass It's eradication The rayages of diphtheria have also been checked and the disease eliminated. In this great work Of controlling and eliminating disease, so thoroughly and effectively performed by the coun- cil, about one-third Of the revenue re- ceiyed has been expended, the bills for that expense footing up &S0.35. So the taxpayers can see that fighting the three pests small pox, diphtheria and the "kickers' drawn from their pockets nearly eleven hundred of their hard earned dollars: the exact figures are slOS2.l5. Beyond those three items the entire expense of con ducting the ntown government foots up only s5s3.6l
 Some improvement has been done in cleaning streets, and Canon street has been widened, while the large, pestilence breeding pool of stagnant water at it's junction with Railroad avenue has been filled up. A portion of the expense of this latter work was paid by the town, while the rest was sustained by property owners in the vicinity whose holdings were increased in value by removal of the plague spot.
 The following statement of revenue and expense, taken from the records in tue clerks office, is approximately correct and any and all persons are invited to go to the office of the town clerk and inspect the books; they are open to the public. We find some of the same disturbing element trying to volunteer information which is like all street gossip, inaccurate, or a distor- tion of facts intended to mislead those not fully informed.
 The amount of work that fell upon the town clerk when the work of a town government was commenced in earnest, was 50 great that the council the adyisablity of paying that official S25 per month; but upon it was concluded better to pay him commission of twenty-five per cent upon collections in the capa- city of license tax collector In that office his commissions average seven teen dollars per month, and are remun- eration in full for his services as town

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A. = Speaker
Crisp's death was not altogether sur
prise in political circles, as it had been
known for some months that he had not
long TO live and never again would be
an active figure in public affairs. The
speaker had several spells Of illness in
Washington. He suffered from asthma
and later from heart trouble. His ill
health. however, did not become mat
ter of public notoriety until the past
spring, when he was compelled to aban-
don a series of joint debates arranged
with ex-Secretary Hoke Smith by reason
of the advice of his physician that il
would imperil his life for him to con-
tinue the debate, which had attracted
great state as well as national interest
by reason OF the fact that it involved
the position Of the Democratic 2arty OF
the state on the silver question as we'll

that position by the legislature at the
approaching session, had he lived.
His untimely death throws the politi-
cal situation into chaos and makes the
choice of senator q matter of great un-
certainty. The legislature is almost
unanimously for free silver, however,
and whoever is named will be an advo-
cate of that policy.
Governor w. Y. Atkinson, who has
Just been reelected chief executive of
Georgia for term of two years, is
prominently mentioned as successor to
the senatorial seat, which would have
been Mr. Crisp's had he survived.
Should he enter and be elected, there
would probably be a contest between
Hon. Robert l.. Berner and Hon. A. S.
Clay, chairman of the state Democratic
executive committee. Governor Atkin-
sons choice as senator would render
necessary special election for COVER.
nor.
Mr.. Crisp has been at the Holmes
sanitarium five weeks suffering from
malarial fever.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure.
Mr.. Crisp had been in intense pain
all day. Every few minutes he would
suffer greatly, but no danger was feared
at such an early moment His wife, to-
gether with a sanitarium nurse, Miss
Sharp, was watching at his bedside.
Later Mr.. Crisp was seized with an
other attack, and quite suddenly he
passed into the calm of death. The
watchers saw it and sent downstairs foI
Dr. Holmes. Judge Crisp's two daugh
ters, Mrs. Fred Davenport and Miss
Bertha Crisp, and his two sons, Mr.
Charles f. Crisp, Jr., and Mr.. FREQ
Crisp, were at the Ballard House, Oh
Peachtree street.
They were quickly summoned. Wher
they entered the room Judge Crisp was
still conscious. He gave them the lool
of recognition, breathed few times
and died. He could not speak.
So quickly had the dread messenger
come that the stricken family stood ap
palled in the death chamber.
Mr.. Crisp's death, while apparently
thus so sudden, was not unexpected b,
the physicians who have been watching
his health. He had been declining TO
several years.
His last illness, however, was imme
diately occasioned by an attack of ma
larial fever which he contracted at hi
home, Americus, a few weeks, bu
which itself yielded TO treatment whel
he came to Atlanta. He was consid
cred convalescent and only last Sab
bath had ridden out. But, when re
newed health seemed within view, h

as the senatorship from Georgia, FOR
which the ex-speaker was an active can
didate. The silver men won their fight
and Mr.. Crisp, had he lived, would have
been the next senator from Georgia.
He was a forceful speaker, but a man
of great tact and possessed of other
qualities that eminently fittsd him for
leadership in parliamentary assem-
blage.
His first prominence in national
affairs came from the skill with which
he led his party in several warm elec.
ton contests. The prestige he then ac-
quired led to his election to the speak
ership after one of the most memorable
canvasses in the history of the house.
His chief opponent was Senator Roger
O. Mills of Texas, whom he defeated
after struggle that was prolonged so
that the house of representatives, con-
trary to custom, assembled ON the open.
ing day with the question of its next
speaker still in doubt. AS speaker Mr..
Crisp was fair but firm. His rulings
have been upheld, and though some
times they were the subject of consid-
erable criticism from his political OPP
ponents, he always commanded their
respect and confidence. He was a pro-
nounced advocate of the free coinage
of silver and on one occasion his casting
vote as speaker saved the defeat of a
free coinage bill. On the other hand 1t
was largely due to his firmness in rul-
ing that passed the Sherman silver re-
peal law through the house, his ruling
defeating q formidable filibustering
movement led by Mr.. Bland of Mis-
souri, and others.
Mr.. Crisp was an Englishman by
birth and in his early life had been
identified with the stage.
This morning the body of the distin.
guished Georgian was removed from
the sanitarium 20 the state capitol,
where it will lie in state until 7:3C
Sunday morning, at which hour it viii
be transferred to train and borne
under appropriate escort to Americus,
Mr.. Crisp's home, where the funeral
will take place Sunday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock.
A number of kilograms of coincidence
have already been received, including
one from Secretary of War Lamont.
PEORIA, Ills,, oct. 24.-When Will
lam J. Bryan was shown the dispatch
at Springfield announcing the death of
Charles f. Crisp he expressed himself
greatly surprised and deeyly grieved at
the death of Mr.. Crisp. He said:
"While l have known that Mr.. Crisp
was feeble in health / had not thought
of his life being in danger His death
will be great loss to the Democrats of
the nation because he was one of the
strongest men In public life. He was
so kind 70 me during my four years of
public life that feel that his death is a
DersOnal loss TO me- ~
Mr.. Bryan immediately sent a dis
patch of coincidence to Mrs. Crisp,
sympathizing with her in her distress.

New YORK, Oct 24.-Whether Ham
lin j. Andrus, who was killed in his
Office by the explosion of a bomt
Wednesday morning, came to his death
by the accidental explosion of an instru.
ment with which he was experimenting
or whether the bomb was the horrible
means to death of suicide, or whether
he was the victim of an anarchists con.

Police Captain Mangin is positive
that the explosion is due to accident,
while Coroner Miles is certain that
Andrus met his death at the hands of a
murderer. Several suspects are being
held.
OF all the people connected with the
matter. the most perturbed man is John
Andrus, the millionaire brother of the
man who was murdered. He is still of
the belief that murder was done and
says he will spend half his fortune ia
get at the true inwardness of the affair,
If necessary. He appears to be very
nervous and has slept but little since

shock to the whole nation.
Mr.. Crisp has been an inmate of the
sanitarium of DIR. J. B. s. Holmes, in
this city, for several weeks. His condi'
tion had been reported as very low, but
no fatal conclusion to his illness had
been expected so soon. When a rumo1
got abroad several days ago that he was
sinking it was vigorously denied at the
sanitarium, where it was given out that
he was getting better.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 24.-A passenger
and express train ON the Chicago and
Alton railroad from Chicago and st.
Louis has been held up and robbed by
four masked men at Blue Springs cut,
between Independence and Glendale,
Mo. The scene of the robbery is less
than 20 miles distant from Kansas City.
The train was tagged at the cut.

over the passenger coaches the other
two covered the conductor, engineer

There the robbers commanded the mes

threatening to break in the doors should

compelled the messenger to open the
safe and extracted from it several pack

The conductor of the train states the
bandits secured nothing save several
packages of jewelry. Having secured
the package the robbers left the train
and entered the woods. Though sev.

versity, he says, that these ideas
should be corrected and that the true
state of affairs should be shown. As a
result of the whole affair. from the re-
moval of Bishop Keane until the con-
clusion of the meeting of the Archbishops
yesterday there was more unanirnity of
opinion more friendly feeling and more
harmony among the prelates and the
Board than has been in evidence for some
time.
s'Nhatever differences there may have
been in the past or may be in the future,
1t is assured that there are none exist
ing now. This gives strong hopes that
after the removal of Bishop Keane will
entirely disappear. It will be the earnest
