A BIG RAILROAD COMBINATION.

TO HAVE MADE 4 DEAL.

Combine 60 Compete With the
Southern Railway at Every Impor-

Atlanta. Ca. Jan. 15-Rumors OF biz
railroad combination. in which the Plant
system plays a conspicuous part, have
been in circulation here to-day.
1t IS said that Mr.. Plant and his asso-
ciates have determined to gain an en-
trance TO Atlanta and from here TO the
west and to the east, in the latter direc-
ton over the Seaboard Air Line, the en-
tire combination being such as to compete
with the Southern at every important
point in that system
The story goes that the real purchaser
Of the Marietta and North Georgia rail-
read, about the sale Of which under the
order of the court several weeks ago 80
much secrecy has been observed, is the
Plant system. When the road was knock
ed down it was not known who the indi-
vidual was TO whom it was sold. 1t is
now claimed the purchasers were repre-
sentatives Of the Plant system, and that
the purchase Of the line that runs from
Marietta to Knoxville and Murphy, n. c..
was part of a well laid plan to form a
gigantic railroad combination equal to the
Southern.
Inc plan is said to be to build to the
marietta and North Georgia and to enter
the city over the belt line of the Seaboard
AR Line and the tracks of the Western
ana Atlantic. for the use of which the
Seaboard has "A twenty-nine-ysar contract

MOSES ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
INSANITY THE PLEA DEFENDED On
BH THE DEFENSE.

Amdavits From a Number of Savan-
nahians Presented in support Of
the CIaim-The Prisoner Kicked in
the Head by "A Horse when an In
FAINT and the Injury Alleged 40
Have Affected His brain.
Jacksonville. Fla. Jan. 15.-The trial Of
John Moses Of Savannah. FOR the murder,
almost without provocation. OF Ernest
Cooper. a popular bartender OF this city,
last September, occupied the attention
of the circuit court to-day. An odd feat
ure Of the trial is the fact that John f.
Hartridge with Col. +. W. Pope, appears
for the defense. while his brother. A G..
Hartridge states attorney. is for the
prosecution.
The morning session was occupied in
securing a jury.
During the afternoon session all the
evidence was introduced. The state
showed that Cooper and FRIENDS were
drinking early Sunday morning in Cash
ems Bridge street bar. Moses entered and
words passed. Moses reached for his
pistol, when Cooper said: Take your
hand OF that pistol, or I'll take It away
from YOU and ram il down your throat.
You remember / took one away from you
before" Il is a fact that at one time
Cooper did take pistol away
from Moses when the latter advanced to-
ward him menacingly. At this Juncture
Cashen grabbed hold of Moses and showed
him to the door. Moses reached over Cash
ems shoulder and fired. The ball pene-
trated his thorax and Cooper lived week.
The defense made no effort to rebut this
testimony, but pleaded insanity and back
ed the plea with affidavits from the fol-
lowing Savannah people: Daniel J. Moses,
f. B. Moses. p. 3. Springer, Thomas r.
Madison. John Norman, NJ. NJ. Ulmer,
George Ehlers, William Mccormick, NJ. J.
Dovle and Hampton ]. Ferrill. The trend
Of the affidavits was that Moses was kick
ed in the head and his skull fractured by
a horse when three years old, that ne re-
manned unconscious several hours and
from the effects of the injury was con-
fined TO his bed for six months; that there
after he was of erratic temper and often
became angry with his parents or even
strangers without the slightest cause. In
stances were cited to bear out the state
ments.
The arguments will be made tomorrow
and then the case viii go to the jury.

ATLANTA's BALL CLUB.
The City Not Apt to Have More Than
One This Season.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 15.-There does not
appear to be much chance that Atlanta
viii have two base ball clubs this season,
although those interested in the old
Southern League franchise are making
great bluff about having Atlanta in that
league, as well as the Southern. The
Southeastern League has received the
protection of President Young of the Ma
tional League, and the situation has
changed so that the Southern League
club seems to be shut out. The National
League cannot protect two clubs in the
same town, and without this protection
an Independent club in Atlanta would
have no standing with other clubs in the
Southern League. Atlanta can support
only one base ball club and the senti-
ment is now in favor of the new South
eastern League.
Memphis, Tenn.5- Jan. 15.-Memphis was
to-day granted a franchise in the South
ern Base Ball League for the coming sea-
son and tomorrow Little Rock will be
awarded the last remaining one. The 9TH
er cities are Nashville. Atlanta, Birming-
ham, Montgomery, Mobile and New Or

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 15.-The city council
committee appointed to investigate charg-
es which promise some very sensational
developments in the management of the
Florence Crttendon Home for Fallen
Women, completed its investigation to-
day, agreeing upon a report which exon
crates the management and puts a quietus
on the sensational stories that led to the
investigation. The home was established
about two years ago. under the manage
many years experience in the manage
ment of similar institutions.
While the home Is to a great extent de-
pendent on private aid for support, the
city exercises jurisdiction over II. Some
time ago it was charged by women who
had been inmates Of the place and had
left that they were subjected to the most
Wolf. They claimed that they were whip
ped with carriage whips for infraction of
the rules, and that they were frequently
deprived of sufficient and proper food, al
though required TO do hard and constant
work
These accusations came to the atten-
ton Of Chairman Mason of the council
relief committee and, upon a resolution
introduced by him in council. the city
ordered an investigation, which was be-
gun several days ago. The committee be-
gan its work at the home, examining it's
inmates to find If there was truth in the
alleged whippings and starvation. They

ment was found by the facts to be rather
imaginary, or the result of spite against

A Woman Kills Herself Because Her

Daughter is Accused of Theft.
Augusta, Ca. Jan. ia strange and al
most unaccountable suicide occurred in
Augusta last night Mrs. Alice G.. Oliver
has for four years been a governess in the
family of Stewart Phinizy She was an
accomplished woman and spoke five Ian
guages. She came here from Newfound-
land, and was born and educated in Eng
land. She was obtained by Mr.. Phinizy
through an agency which makes a special
ty of providing governesses. She came
south with her daughter. She accepted
the place in the family of Mr. PhiniZy and
her daughter took a similar position in the
family of Evans Heggie at Grovetown,
subsequently her daughter went to New
York, and became a trained nurse.
1t will be remembered that a short time
ago the papers published story of the ar
rest of a nurse in the Seney hospital for
stealing jewelry and money from pa
tients in the hospital and her fellow nurses
and that the young woman was from Grove
town, Ga. This was the daughter of Mrs
Oliver and it has been a source of the
deepest modification and unhappiness to
her. Last night she took prussic acid and
died and the thefts in New York are the
only cause that can be assigned for the
rash act
She was buried i'm Augusta this after
noon. She was about 40 years old.
