1t has been stated in Democratic papers
that Hon. Will Cumback, in a speech before
the Fourth district convention at North
Vernon, did not mention the name Of Cen
eral Harrison, but delivered a eulogy of
Mckinley. Mr.. Cumback was asked as to
the truth of this report. and in reply said:
IT am glad you called by attention TO
it, and will tell you what 1 said in regard
to both these great Republican leaders.
After mentioning the pride OF those who
will come after us because they are the
sons OF the men who were in the Union
army, / said: 1t is not extravagant to
say that they will also be proud that their

Blaine, for Garfield, for Harrison, and all
the other great historic names, etc. All 1

1T WAS A SURPRISE.
Central Railroad omciaIs Did Not
Expeet the A. md w. y. SHIT

The officials of the Central OF Georgia
Railway Company here were somewhat
surprised to learn of the filing of the bill
in the superior court of Fulton county,
foI a receiver for the Atlanta and West
Point railroad.
i was very much surprised to hear OF
the bill, I know nothing about 1t, and
90 not know what 1t means" was all thai
President ii. n. Conner had TO say of the
matter.
Copies of the bill were received yester-
day morning by Messrs. Lawton and cum
bingham, attorneys for the Central, and
with them copies of the order requiring
the defendants to show cause why the
application Dhould not be granted, before
the superior court of Fulton on Thurs.
day, Dec. 81. None of the officials were
willing to make any surmises with regard
20 the matter, or as to the probable orr.
gin of the suit. There are, however sew
eral significant facts connected with it,
In the first place. Mr.. l.. b. Nelson, the
stakeholder, through whom the suit ap-
pears to have been brought, only recently
came into the possession of his stock
and II looks as IL some stakeholder hao
bringing the suit. Mr.. Nelson's name
does not appear at all among the list of
stockholders OF the. road of record sept.
., 1896, The date Of the last annual re-
port so his holdings must have been Sc
cured since that time.
There appears to be a general belief that
the suit was instigated by the Seaboard
Air Line Company, as part Of its scheme
10 force the lines running to New Orleans
10 give them q through Pullman car con-
nection, which they did not succeed in Sc
curing through the rate war. This was
the opinion EXPRESSED by some railroad
men who came down from Atlanta yes
terday. and Il appears to be the general
opinion in railroad circles.
The Cent. al railroad is the owner of
1855 shares OF the capital stock of the
Atlanta and West Point and will of
course take steps to protect it's holdings
The Georgia railroad holdings amount to
4, 409 shares. and these two blocks togeth-
er make a majority of the stock, and
hold the. control of the property. The
officials here, who are interested in the
matter would say nothing OF the alleged
charge as 70 the nlegality of the new
charter Of the Atlanta and West Point
as II is matter which they have not
looked into. The progress OF the suit will
undoubtedly be watched with interest es-
pecially in railroad circles 1t is said the
stock of the road has been depressed
somewhat IN market value by reason of
the suit.

EFFINGHAMrs NEW JAIL.
The Litigation Settled ana II Will
Be Built mt Once.


There is nothing now in the way OF build
ing the bingham county jail, and work
on it will probably begin at once.
This was arranged by a consent decree
in the case of E. E. Foy, w. L. Gignillat
and others against S. E. Helmy and 9TH
ers, county commissioners, in which OBJ
lection was made to the cost of the pro-
posed jail on the ground that it would put
the county in debt as there was not
enough money in the treasury to do the
work, and It was held it was unconstitu-
tional to create any such debt without
first securing a two-thirds vote in favor
of It.
Those interested in the matter appeared
before Judge Falligant in chambers yes
terday, and after discussing the matter
for some time, a consent decree was drawn
up, under which the contract price of the
new jail remains the same. $3.50 The
county will pay the contractor, w f.
Wagner, however, only $2,67S.46, and the
payment Of the balance is made contin-
gent upon the receipt by the county of
the taxes due by the Central railroad
under recent supreme court decision. II
that money is paid, the contractor will get
the balance up to the amount specified.
but If not, he won't The new Jail is to
be of brick, with steel cells, and up-to-
date in every respect. II will be located
at Springfield, the county site.

rat Kearuey. the shot from whose pis-
tol caused the death Of John w. Wyness,
is out of jail, and win spend the Christ
mas holidays and perhaps many other
days with the members OF his family.
Kearney was released last night on a
bond of $500. which was signed by VIM.
Kehoe, w. L. Reid, Dennis Shea and
Patrick Buttimer as sureties. As mat
ter of fact, Kearney was out Of Jail in the
afternoon, but he was still in the custody
of a deputy sheriff until his bond was
made up. He win be free now until his
trial under the indictment for murder
pending in the superior court, comes up
for trial.
The motion for bail in Kearneys case
was first made before Judge Falligant
Monday afternoon, when the evidence
taken before the eoroner's jury was read
to the court. That portion of the evil
dence was not satisfactory TO Judge tallt-
CANT and other witnesses were called for.
Several others were brought forth both on
Tuesday and yesterday, by the state and
by the defendant, and the order granting
Kearney's release on bond of 5000 was
finally granted.
The state put up one witness, Coaker
whose evidence il was thought, would
change the aspect OF the case. 1t APP
"a
mony that Kearney interfered in. a row.
which was in progress between Wyness
and Counihan, and that the shooting was
the result of this interference.
Taking the case all in all, however, and
the dying mans statement that the shoot
ing was accidental, the court, il appears,
gave Kearney the benefit of the doubt,
and allowed his release on bond. After
the order was granted his attorneys,
Messrs I. S. Morgan and T. l.. Hill, spent
the day in endeaVoring to get the bonds
men together, which they finally succeed
ed in doing at night after which their
client was released from the custody of
the deputy.

and even that is buster only with one
class of trade-the misliners. Easter eve
is their rush day. But Christmas eve
keeps everybody busy Thousands of peo-
pie put off their holiday shopping until
the last day and many until the last hour.
The merchants and clerks get the benefit
of the delay IN the rush that never fails
on Christmas eve.
Every day this week has been a busy
one. The streets yesterday and last
night were crowded and delivery wagons
were kept going until after midnight with
belated Christmas parcels, many of them
for little ones tucked snug in bed" To

Will be the wind up of the Christmas trade

bought on Christmas morning.

very few of the property owners present,

TO the employment of men who are kept
