OF H. p. Cook, an old confederate veteran
who several weeks ago tried to murder
his wife by cutting her throat with a
razor The pair had not been living to-
gether and one morning Cook sent word

over him as he lay in the bed, he suddenly
reached up and slashed her with a razor.
He was jailed and Mrs. Cook got well.
In court this morning the wife positive
iy refus- to give any testimony against
her husband She would not answer any
question about the cutting and appeared to
have completely forgiven the man, and
was on the best of terms with him.
Other witnesses were introduced, how
ever, and the cutting proven Cook claim
ed that he was drunk or under the infiu-
ence of morphine when he committed the
deed and had no remembrance of it, He
had lost an arm in the service of the con-

a good long time. Solicitor Hill repeated
his remark to the court, and Judge Can
dler gave him his desire.

coURT-MARTIAL ON A CAPTAIN.
Accused of Failing to Turn over
Money belonging TO His Company.


Money Belonging to His Company.
Jacksonville. Fla, March 24.-Capt w
]. Driscoll, captain of the Jacksonville
Light Infantry, is being court-martialed
here to-day on serious charges as follows:
First, embezzlement by appropriating
funds belonging to the Jacksonville Light
Infantry to his own personal use.
The first specification is that Capt. Dris-
coll collected money belonging to the com
pany to the amount of $3.50 for the quarter
comprising July August and September,
of 1894, and never reported the same to his
company
Specification No. 2 sets forth that sim
liar amount was collected for the quarter,
comprising October, November and De-
cember in the same year, and third, that
in October. November and December of
1885, Capt. Driscoll collected again $3.50
and the same was not reported.
The second charge is that of conduct I'M
becoming an officer. In this charge it is
alleged that Capt. Driscoll when on a
committee appointed by the board of trade
to solicit subscriptions for the annual state
encampment, collected the sum of $21, and
that no report of the same was made of
the money so collected.
The third charge is disobedience Of or
ders, and it cites that on Dec. !, 1896, Capt
Driscoll refused to furnish Mai. Turner
with a list of the absentees of his company
TO battalion drill, and that the said Capt
Driscoll refused to effect a settlement with
the company when so ordered by a major
ity of the battalion.
The statute of limitations was pleaded
and allowed on the first two charges, the
defendant stating, however, that he had
no recollection of having received the war;
rants. To specification two he pleaded
that he had received and cashed the war
rants, but that it was not done with fell
onious or fraudulent intent, and he there
upon made the tender of the amount,
which was declined. The trial will proba-
bly, last for day or two before a decision
is reached.
Capt. Driscoll was formerly of Charles
ton, and is now superintendent of mails in
the Jacksonville postofice.

ED HOOKS ACQUITTED.
The Discrepancy in His Books Due
to Bad bookkeeping.

W bau bOOkkeeD1nS.
Atlanta, Ga, March 2i-Ed Hooks, for
mer local cashier for the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, who has been under indict-
ment for embezzlement for two years,
was allowed a verdict of not guilty in the
superior court to-day upon the motion of
the prosecution,
Hooks books seemed to show a short
age when they were examined of about 49, :
600, and he was finally arrested upon war
rants, charging embezzlement. after he
denied any crookedness and refused to al
low his family to sacrifice their property to
make up the alleged shortage He was
placed under 5000 bond and upon this re-
leased. Several weeks ago the bondsmen
asked to be released and Hooks had to go
to Jail for several days pending the Sc
curing of a new bond in the sum of 81, 600
the amount having been lowered by order
of the court.
1t appears that the railroad officials,
after a most exhaustive search, came to
the conclusion that the shortage was only
an apparent one growing out of badly kept
accounts, and they made a statement to
this effect in court to-day when the court
was asked to allow verdict of not guilty.
Hooks Is a young man, who has a wide
acquaintance in the city. His friends
have always commended that he was not
guilty of embezzlement.

SEELY DINNER ON THE SNIDE.
FORTY WOULD-BE HIGH ROLLERS

Dance TO Come ON Arrived Police
men Entered and Broke Up the
Gathering - The Couchce-COuchee
Girls Believed to Have Put Up 81
Job on the Spectators.
Atlanta. Ca, March 2l-Forty of the
thigh rollers" of the town-the young
bloods who think that they are strictly
up-to-date in everything-got together in
the basement of the Colonial hotel, a
boarding house on Marietta street last
night, for the purpose of INDUCING in an
orgie similar to the notorious "Seeley din
ner" of New York. They had secured
three women, who were engaged last
week at the Imperial theater doing the
coochee-coochee dance, and for refresh
ments the manager of the revel provided
a bowl of beer and pile of pretzels.
At midnight the dances began. The wo-
men gave the usual coochee-coochee in
bespangled costumes and when there were
calls for the came muscular exhibition In
the altogether" they retired, ostensibly
20 prepare for that disgusting perform
ance Just at this moment, however, a
policeman appeared at the door and the
women went out of another into back
alley and have not since been seen. The
gilded youths who were participants in
the affair declare that they were film
TANNED by the Imperial dancing girls.
who notified the police so that the affair
might be nipped after they had paid their
money. Tickets to the spectacle were sold
at S. a piece and the sporty young men
and old ones too, who were played for
suckers" by the dancing girls and their
fake manager have been looking for
friends to kick them to-day.
But for the presence of the policemen
when the flight of the orientals was dis
covered, there would have been big row.
AS il was the crowd was glad enough for
the moment to get away without being
dragged through the police court for purl-
fication of their morals.
Great secrecy was preserved in the ar
rangements for the orgie and those who
bought the tickets account for the tip
given to the police only on the HYPOTHESIS
that the people who got it up wanted TO
have them on hand to stop the fight when
the fake was discovered. The exhibition
that was given was the same that the
public paid 10 cents to see last week at
the Imperial.

The Three Friends Arrives With the
Asturias I'm Tow.
Jacksonville, Fla. March 24-The IA
nous steamer Three Friepds arrived in
port this evening with the equally famous
Mexican tug Asturias and two barges in
tow. She crossed the bar early this
morning, but her trip up the river was
slow on account of her heavy tows.
It was rumored on the street Tuesday
that the Three Friends had turned her
barges and the tug over to the captain of
the tug o. d. Williams, from Miami, and
that she would proceed TO Fernandina and
ship arms and ammunition for Cuban soil.
The theory of the tattlers is exploded, but
the next thing in their minds will have to
be something bearing on the new tug that
has been brought up to the river by the
Three Friends. 1t has been suggested
that the Asturias is about the right size
for filibuStering.
