Another Charge Brought Against
PenitenIiary Company No. 1.
Atlanta, Ga, May 1S.-George Broken
brings a serious charge against the lessees
of Penitentary Company No l, which, if
true, shows that the convict system of
this state is rotten to the core and needs
a thorough and complete overhauling.
He was sentenced to the penitentiary
from Bibb county for six years on the
charge of burglary. He says he has serv-
ed out that sentence, with the exception
of the usual reduction made for good be-
havior. Broken charges that on Oct. l,
1893 or just seventeen months after his
arrival at the mines he was compelled to
work on Sunday. Penitentiary Company
No. lis operating the coal mines at Cole
City. Broken was confined there. He says
the bosses compelled him to work every
Sunday up to the time of his discharge,
from October. 1893, putting in, in all. 1S1
Sundays. Broken says he was compelled
to do this work without any compensation,
and that he has not received one cent of
pay for the work. He values the work
done al 81 per day. and entered suit this
morning for the recovery of the amount.
The case will no doubt cause the con-
vct camps to be investigated to ascertain
whether the laws are being violated gov
erning convicts working on Sunday.

Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ga. May 1S.-W c. Wade
formerly a Savannah man, rests in a cell
a the Fulton county jail tonight, charg-
ed with larceny after trust.

and most pathetic ever brought 10 public
notice here Wade came to Atlanta from
Savannah, where he claims to have a good
family connection "a few days ago, ac-
companied by his young wife and bapy.
He sought employment, but for a time
was unable to get il. Finally he secured
a position as collector with the firm of
Shumake & Murphy, at a salary Of $35 per
month. The collector soon found that he
was unable to live on this sum and asked
for a loan He met with refusal nor
would the firm permit him to overdraw
his accounts Then, in circumstances OF
dire necessity he began to apply to his
own uses the funds of his employers. This
morning, according to his story, Wade
told the head of the firm that he had been
stealing from them. He said that he had
kept an accurate account of the money
he had misappropriated, and that it
amounted to SOL 40 Then he asked what
the firm expected to do with him war
rant was sworn out against him, and
Wade was arrested and taken to jail he
will probably be given preliminary hear
ing tomorrow
The case has excited much interest
among the people who know of it, as
Wade has hitherto born an excellent rep
utatlon lie claims to come of a good
family in Savannah, and says he was in
good circumstances there.

whether they permanently disabled the

All people who are thin are not necessari-

would add an iota TO their weight, but
the great majority Of people are thin be-
cause their digestion is not perfect their
stomachs do not thoroughly digest flesh
forming foods, they may not have chronic
dyspepsia, but their digestion is not Wig
orous enough to assimiIate the food nee

their weight
for all such, the new discovery for dys-
pesia and indigestion comes as most well

they are absolutely safe and harmless, no
