IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

While J. w. Todd, former soliciting
agent of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow
Gauge railroad managed to escape prose-
cution in Atlanta recently, on the charge
of forgery, because Of a technicality in
the indictment against him, it seems that
at last the young mans sins are about to
find him out. A Rome, Ca, special Of
Sunday to the Atlanta Constitution says /:
J.W. Todd, a young man who is wan
ted in Dalton for burglary, is in Jail here,
having been brought up from Atlanta.
He was turned over to the Floyd county
authorities because of the burning of the
Whitfield county jail. Todd has just es-
capped conviction in the Atlanta court Tor
forgery, on account o. flaw in the bill OF
indictment.
In 1892 Todd and man named Henson
were employed by the Southern railway
in Dalton. They broke into freight cars
and stole clothing, shoes, provisions and
anything else that struck their fancy.
Finally they stole some whisky and went
to Demopolis, Ala, where they both got
drunk. Their doings were finally inves-
tigated, and they were run down and ar
rested.
Henson was placed in Jail, but Todd
was turned loose on bond. While in Jail
Henson pretended to be very much in
love with the sheriff7S daughter, in the
end was accepted, and Henson began
arranging to leave Jail. His sweetheart
secured his release under his promise of
marriage, which promise he never full
filled. Henson's case was settled some
time afterwards. Todd disappeared, and
was not heard Of again until he was ar
rested in Atlanta on the charge OF for
gerry. After that charge was disposed of,
the Whitefield county authorities sent for
him, and he is now in Floyd county's
Jail awaiting developments.

HOW 1T WAS WORKED.

4 gentleman who is familiar with such
matters has given the reporter an outline
of how Mr.. Loves bill to regulate ex-
press and telegraph companies was
killed. The gentleman speaks partly
from what he knows, and partly from
what he suspicious.
"You will remember" said the gentle
man referred to, THAT this bill was intro
duced both in the house and senate. In
the house the bill was referred to the
committee Oh railroads, and in the senate
to the Judiciary committee. Now l
have it pretty straight that the railroad
committee was rather in taver Of making
a favorable report but on that committee
there is gentleman who is attorney for
the Plant system, and Mr.. Plant, you
know, is largely interested III the South
ern Express company. Well, just what
this means, probably, it is not necessary
to explain; but, anyhow, the railroad
committee asked to be discharged from
further consideration of the bill on the
grou nd that it came more directly in the

This request was granted, and, to all

"In the meantime" the speaker con-
tinued, "the agents of the express compa-

was no necessity for the proposed action
and that the people were not caring any
thing about the matter anyway. Now, as
but few of the senators happened to be
engaged in businesses that bring them
into practical knowledge of the methods

that the people are not interested was
a good one, and had its effect.

"just wait. This is only the beginning o.

- Senator Tillman and Congressman
McLaurin have been talking to the AS
sociated Press about Congressman Muir
rays threat to protest against the counting
of the vote of South Carolina for Bryan.
The South Carolinians say that Murray's
threat is bluff, and if the Republicans
try any such scheme as Murray suggests,
Mckinley will not be inaugurated on the
fourth day of March next. They claim
that while the vote of South Carolina has
been regular and constitutional, the vote
of Ohio, for instance, has been so fraudu-
lent that it is really doubtful IS to whether
that state went for Mckinley or Bryan.
The same is true with regard to several
other states, and if the Republicans want
a general investigation, all they have to
do is to make the movement that Murray
has suggested against South Carolina. II
it really is in the power of Messrs. Till
man and McLaurin to delay the Inaugural
ton Of Mckinley until after March 4, it is
not likely that the Republicans will waste
much time in the Investigation of the
grievances of Murray.
