THE LEGAL COURTS
Being Too Tardy in Dealing Out Justice
Enraged Georgians Establish
Court of Inquiry.

Macon, Ca, Jan. 15-A special to the
Telegraph from Adams Park Ca, says:
Charles Forsyth and Willis White, the ne
groes who were believed to be the men
near here early this morning. Mrs. Row
land, wife of the postmaster, while rob-
bing the postoffice at this place last night,
were run down with dogs and captured
near here early this morning. Mre. Row.
land died today from the effects of the
wound and crowd began to gather for
the purpose of lynching the men:
report reached Macon late tonight
to the effect that the mob had taken the
men and lynched them, but UP to this
time the rumor has not been fully veri-
fed.
Adams Park is in Twiggs county, the
scene of the cold blooded murder by old
Mrs. Mobiles and negro, of her husband.
On account OF the manner in which legal
technicalities have enabled the perpetra-
tors of this crime, one of the most brutal
and horrible in the history of the state,
to escape punishment has led many con-
servative people in the county to publicly
announce a determination to appeal to
Judge Lynch and ignore the legal court
machinery.

LINE TO BE EXTENDED.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 15.-It was
learned today that the Ohio River and
Charleston railroad, which Is controlled
by the Finance and Investment company,
of this city, will extend it's lines from
Backsburg, S. c., to Gaffney, in the same
state, and the management expect that
the immediate result of the extension will
be a substantial increase in earnings.
1t was explained by a director of the COM
pany this afternoon that the building
of the road to Gaffney would make avail
able the valuable water power on the
Broad river, near Blacksburg, the devel-
opment of which has been delayed be-
cause of the absence of transportation IA
clities and that the extension will con-
meet the Cherokee Falls cotton mills and
those at Gaffney with the main line of the
road, thus giving 1t considerable new
traffic. There will be an issue of $780,
900 bonds on the road in North and South
Carolina for the purpose of building GER
tain branches and making extensions.
All the bonds furnishing sufficient funds
for such new work as decided upon have
been underwritten, but the shareholders
will first be given an opportunity to sub
scribe.

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
Shows Large Increase in the Cash in
Hand. SOD.

Hand. -.
New York, Jan. 15.--The weekly state
ment of the associated banks to be is
sued tomorrow will show large in
crease inthe cash on hand, as the conse-
quence OF an unusual state of affairs in
the money market. About a month ago
the presidents and other leading officers
of some forty banks belonging to the
clearing house attended a dinner at the
Union league. club, given by Henry w.
Cannon, president of the Chase National
bank. At this fathering an understand
ing was reached that no call loans or in
other words, loans repayable on demand,
should be made q rate less than per
cent. per annum. For three or four
weeks previously most of the call loans
had been made at IL per cent. At this
rate the banks did rot consider that they
were receiving anadequatereturno on their
money. During the present week the
'bzorrowers found they could obtain mon
ey from the trust companies, insurance
companies and other large lenders at / "
per cent.
Accordingly they shifted their loans to
large extent; that Is, they paid off the
loans to the banks and got accommodate
ed from the lenders whose rates were one
half per cent. lower. The banks secured
rapid accumulatiin of money in their
vaults which was earning nothing al all
finally brought them to a realization that
their agreement to keep the call money
rate up to 2 per cent. could no longer be
adhered to with advantage and today
most of them were accepting offers of
IL per cent Although the tendency of
money is downward all over the world,
it is cheaper in New York than anywhere

A FINANCIAL DEBATE
May Be Precipitated Over a Resolution
of the Republican Caucus Provid-
ing For a Monetary Conference.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The republican
senatorial caucus this morning agreed to
present to the senate the resolution pro-
viding for an international monetary
conference in the following form;
An act to provide for the representa-
ton of the United States by commission
ers at any international monetary con-
ferenc to be hereafter called.
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled, that
whenever, after March 4, 1897, the presi-
dent of the United States shall determ-
inc that the United States should be rep
resented at any International confer
ence called by the United States or any
other country with a view of securing
by International agreement f1xity of
relative value between gold and silver
as money by means of a common ratio
between those metals, with free mintage
at such ratio, he is hereby authorized
to appoint five or more commissioners
to such International conference and for
compensation of such commission and
for all reasonable expenses connected
Herewith, to be approved by the secre-
tary of state, including the proportion to
be paid by the United States of the joint
expenses of any such conference, the sum
of 100000 or so much thereof, as may be
necessary, Is hereby appropriated.
The resolution will be reported to the
senate on Monday by Mr.. Chandler, who,
in the absence of Mr.. Wolcott, chairman,
is acting in his behalf.
Some of the other democrats urge that
the word unlimited" should be added
and there will be opposition from a few
senators by reason of the failure to use
it. 1t is not thought, however, that the
passage of the resolution will be endan-
gered. A careful canvass of the senate
shows that there is a general willing
ness to permit the resolution to be adopt
ed without much debate. The silver
men will take little part in the discussion
unless the gold men precipitate it, In
that event, several silver senators,
among them Mr.. Cockrell of Missouri,
will speak to the resolution and the
chances are that under such conditions
financial debate may be injected into
the proceedings of the senate.

MINISTER WILLIS DEAD.
The Minister to Hawaii Passes Away,
After a Long Illness

The Minister to Hawaii Passes Away,
After a Long Illness.
Honolulu Jan. Z, via San Francisco,
Jan. 15.-(Correspondence of Southern As
sociated Press, Per Steamer Monowai)-
United States Minister Albert s. Willis
died at his residence yesterday at a.
M, after several months illness. The
direct cause of death was pneumonia,
which he contracted in San Francisco
early last year. His condition had been
at times such that 1t gave his family
hopes of his ultimate recovery, and again
1t was precarious to a degree that filled
his physicians with grave alarm. A few
days ago his condition was much i'm
proved and his family renewed their
hopes, but the change for the better was
but temporary Some time after MIDI
night Tuesday Minister Willis condition
began growing worse, and 1t was seen
that the end was not far off. He lost
consciousness and his breathing was diff
ficult, and in this condition he remained
until the dissolution took place.
1t is not known whether an escort Will
be sent with the remains, but 1t seems
to be the opinion of number OF citizens
that the representative of the foreign
office should be detailed as escort to ac-
company the remains to Louisville and
turn them over to the officials there until
the funeral takes place. A detail of gen.
tlemen, selected by the minister of for
eign affairs, will remain at the Willis res
idence.
Directly the intelligence of the death
of the minister was received by the gov
ernment the flags on the judiciary build
ing the military headquarters were low
cred to half-mast Most of the business
houses and shipping followed suit as soon
as the death was known.

THE GEORGIA SCANDAL.
Testimony In One Case Complete and the
Other Will Be Finished Today-No
Impeachment, the Prophesy.

Atlanta, Ca, JAN 15.-The evidence in
the Sweat investigation was concluded
this afternoon with a statement from the
Judge himself. Congressman-elect w. M.
Howard was witness for Judge Seaborn
Reese, and the latters case will be con-
cluded tomorrow.
Judge Joel Sweat, in his statement,
said that he always had admitted that
he was under the influence Of champagne
at the bankers banquet on st. Simons
Island, but he denied that he was drunk
the next day on the bench or that he
ever was drunk at any other time on
the bench. He went into the details of
his visit to Indian Springs, and told of
his meeting with Miss Bradley and Mrs.
Crosby He denied that he had ever
made any improper remark to either,
and he said that if Miss Bradley or any
of her friends or relatives construed what
he did say as being improper or insulting
they were mistaken. He also denied that
he had packed jury for Toomer, VINO
was a candidate for solicitor. In sum-
ming up the tales jurors, the judge stated
that two turned out to be for Toomer
and two for his opponent.
Mr.. Howard, testifying in the case OF
Judge Reese stated that the judge never
was drunk on the bench, and that he
as solicitor, had attended nearly all the
courts. Senator Carter asked the witness
il he were not drinking man himself
and the congressman-elect replied hotly,
Chairman Fielder raped sharply with his
gavel, and for a minute there was some
excitement, but no collision.
The evidence in the Reese case will
be completed tomorrow, after which the
committee will make up it's report to the
house of representatives. 1t Is regarded
as certain that the report will be ad-
verse to an impeachment.

CONDITION AT 0CALA.
General Merchants Fail Because of the
Bank Doing Likewise-Another
Bank on Tapis.

Ocala, Fla, Jan. 15-Messrs. S. r. Bird
sey & Co., dealers in hardware, groceries
and crockery, have made an assignment
to Samuel Birdsey, son of the senior
member of the firm, which is composed
of S. r. and his Oldest son, Albert H.
Birdsey They have been In business for
the past eight years and were leading
wholesale and retail merchants. They
stood well and did good business and
were very popular with the trade. The
bank failure is the immediate cause Of
their troubles, s. r. Birdsey being di-
rector. Mr.. Birdsey feels assured If time
is given him, he can pay dollar for dollar,
as the assets are largely in excess of La
bilities. They carry stock of about
10000.
A. A. Richie, the promoter of the Com
pagnie Generate Dispatch Phosphates de
la Florida, incorporated under state laws
with a cash capital of million dollars,
with mines in operation at Newberry and
Trenton, Aluca county, will take steps
Immediately to organize new bank at
Ocala with ample capital.
There are no new developments in the
bank failure, except that it catches the
town and county heavily. The old coun-
ty treasurer, John w. Stephens, had
settlement and proposed to turn over the
funds in his possession, about $4 900, to A.
r. Griffin, the new official, and rendered
him a check, which he refused, demand
ing the cash, and it was not Forthcoming.
The old treasurer's bondsmen are bank
officials. The school board had inside of
a month, borrowed $500 through the
bank, of the state treasurer at 2h per
cent. a year, which money was to pass
through the county treasurer's hands.
over half OF this amount was In the
treasurer's keeping. The bank had about
$4,000 of the city's money and $500 Of the
sinking funds, without security and fully
S4 600 of tax money. President McCon-
nell, of the closed bank, is sick in New
York. ~ 10y

gangs will be employed, and the plant
may be in operation by next August.
The building will cover the block bound

of 5000 barrels per day. The increase
from a capcity of 200 barrels, which was
originally fixed by the Arbuckles, has
been made necessary by the aggressively
antagonistic attitude of the sugar trust.

owing to lack of material. The idle op-

yiyal in textile circles, except increased
purchases of wool at Boston by some OF
the larger manufacturers. Cotton goods
continue depressed at first hands, with
little prospect for Improvement until az
