camDment to he Held There.
Fitzgerald. Ga. March 1O-The meeting
of old soldiers at the state encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic will
occur here March z and 10.
Perhaps in no place in the United States
is there a more kindly feeling of brotherly
love between ex-soldiers of both north
and south existing than at Fitzgerald. In
conversation with Maj. Whitney, the post
commander, he said: II am especially
anxious that the ex-soldiers of the south
who visit us may receive most cordial
welcome at the hands of all our people and
realize that we appreciate the many cour-
tesies and kindness received continual
ly from the southern press and people
since coming among Them
The various addresses of welcome will
be responded to by number of distin-
guished visitors, who have notified the
committee that they will be present,
among these a number of confederate
veterans.
The history of the colony post is re-
markable one. The post was organized
shortly after the opening up of the colony,
and had the largest number of charter
members of any post ever organized. The
number now is something like $50, and it

HUSBAND LEFT DIsCoNsOLATE.
Fails to Get $4,000 For Alienation
of His Wife's Affections.

Atlanta, Ga, March 10-Thomas A.
Chamberlin to-day sued ]. A. Clark for
$4,000 damages for alternating the affec-
lions of his wife.
There was some rich and racy evidence
in the case, but it was of no value to the
disconsolate husband. He thought that
the loss of his wife was worth $4,000. The
jury, after hearing the story, thought that
her loss was not worth anything, gagged
by a money value and after being out
about three minutes returned a verdict to
that effect.
The wife for whose loss Mr. Chamber
lin was suing was No. 2. According to
the testimony he came to Georgia some
ten years ago leaving No. l behind. Some
time after arriving here he was welded to
the woman in the present case with mil
itary'' ceremonies. Although the mar
riage appeared to have been forced upon
him, Chamberlin declared that for a num-
her of years he and his wife lived together
happily. Their happiness continued I'M
I'll last June, when, the disconsolate hus-
band alleged, Clark. who is the proprie-
tor of grocery store on Marietta street,
won his wife from him and has been liv-
ing with her ever since that time.

STREET CAR TRANSFERS.



Atlanta, Ga, March 10-The fight for
street car transfers which has agitated
Atlanta from time immemoral, has been
renewed again. This time Mayor Collier
is behind it, and the indications are that
he will at least force the car companies
to accede to the demands of the public.
He has gone about it in a way that looks
like business. The mayor has secured the
written opinion of the city attorney,
showing that the council has legal power
to force the companies to grant the trans
fers. An ordinance has been drawn up
providing for the enforcement of the reg
ulation. This ordinance will be intro
duced at the next session of the city coun-
ell.
II has more than once been charged that
the Consolidated Street Railway Company
controls the city council. and through this
control has in the past kept down such
action, as well as other legislation of an
inimical character. When the transfer or
dinance is introduced next week this
charge will be fairly tested The matter
of transfers has been a burn
ing issue between the public and the
Consolidated Company. which owns all
but one of the trolley lines in the city,
and its revival under the present circum-
stances is of great interest. If Mayor Col
lier is successful in forcing the concession
by the passage of his ordinance the pub
lie will feel like building him a big monu-
ment

Washington, March 10.-The state de-
partment has received a cablegram from
Consul General Lee at Havana, announc-
ing that the New York correspondent
Sylvester Scovel was released to-day. 1t
is learned that the release of Scovel by
the Spanish authorities was secured
through private representations, and not
by any application by the United States
either through Secretary Sherman or Sec
rotary olney.
Soon after Scovers arrest, Mr.. Walter
]. Mullins, his brother-in-law, and John
insolvency of Wooster, o., his attorney,
came TO Washington to solicit the inter-
vention of the government in his behalf,
Secretary Olney declined to take any steps
in the matter for the reason that ScoVel
had been once expelled from Cuba and had
returned to the island in violation of his
parole, under a false name and false
passport. Mr.. Scovers relatives then
sought the good Offices of the Spanish min
lister, who promised to use his efforts to
secure Scovels release, upon certain con-
ditions, which were:
First-That it should be regarded as a
personal and not a diplomatic matter, so
that it might not be used as a precedent
in the future.
Second-That the newspaper agitation in
regard to Scovels arrest should be stop
ped.
Thrd-That Scoveps father should make
an appeal to the government of Spain for
Scovels release as an act of mercy and
not as act of justice.
Mr.. Scovels relatives accepted these
conditions. and have done their best to
carry them out. The Rev. Mr.. Scovel,
who is president of Wooster University,
sent a very eloquent appeal on behalf of
his son.. which Mr. Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister, endorsed, with a recon-
mendation for the young mans immediate
release without trial, and forwarded il to
the Spanish authorities There has been
considerable correspondence on the sub
ject between Madrid, Havana and the
Spanish legation in Washington, but the
Intervention of the department of state
has never been exercised or requested
since the original interview between Mr.
ScoVers relatives and Secretary Olney.

Tallahassee, Fla, March 10.-The capt.

They claim to be cigar makers looking

said to have cigar makers kits, but inquiry
at factory revealed the fact that none

Another report says the party passed
through this city last Wednesday on the

point, expecting to meet a vessel to take
them to Cuba The warships were too
vigilant for them, and they came here to

The Capital city Likes the Work OF
Savannnh's Organization.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1O.-Atlanta will
probably follow the lead OF Savannah and
establish a freight bureau. similar TO that
presided over by Capt d. G. Purse.
The Savannah institution has attracted
a good deal Of attention here by the man
ner in which railroad discrimination has
been fought before the railroad commits
sion. To-day large number Of the most
influential business men held a mass meet
ing at the chamber Of commerce. pur-
euant to the call Of Mayor Collier, for the
purpose Of adopting some plan to prevent
certain determinations by the railroads
against local merchants. The result of
the meeting was the appointment OF a
committee to itemize the points Of dis
elimination and 20 treat with the rail-
roads for their remedy. This commit
tee will do what Il can In that direction.
but IL will not be permanent. For This
reason II was suggested that a freight bu-
reau similar to that OF Savannah be cs-
tablished, and tho suggestion met with
such favor that it will probably be the
final outcome Of the movement to remove

The United States court has been busy
for several days past with the suit of
Mrs. Julia Cook, instituted against the
Plant Investment Company, for the re-
covery of $4,000 damages, which the
plaintiff alleges to have sustained by slip
ping while passing over the gang-plank
of the steamer Kissimmee on Feb. 26, 1891.
This case has once been heard in the
court, and at that time Mrs. Cook was
allowed $500 by the jury. but upon the
case being taken up to the court of APP
peals II was decided that the award was
too large, and the case was sent back for
trial. Practically, the same testimony is
being introduced, and the same counsel

be very stubbornly contested by each side.
