London. January l6.-For some time
past everything has pointed to the fact
that India is face 20 face with the most
appalling calamity since the British oc-
cupation. The spectre OF the Bubonic
plague came almost with dramatic sud
denness on the famine, and created
throughout Europe a feeling OF the
greatest alarm. The Indian govern
ment appears hardly to have foreseen
such a gigantic undertaking as that Of
solving the necessities Of over 10000, 900
OF people. and its ready acqulescence TO
a proposal to an appeal to private
charity indicates that II now recog-
nizes the insuficiency of its arrange
ments. The sympathy Of Great Brit
ain is now thoroughly aroused and re-
lief funds have been started in all the
chief towns,

VEAL's ALLEGED vILLA1NY.
The City Council to Put the Sanitary
Inspector on the Rack.

Atlanta, Ga, April s.-The city council
met this afternoon in special session and
received the report of the committee which
made the investigation of the charges
against Chief Sanitary Inspector Veal last
week. This committee was appointed for
the purpose of seeing whether or not there
was sufficient foundation for the charges
to warrant a regular trial of the accused
inspector.
The committee found that there was suf-
ficient foundation to warrant the trial and
so recommended official charges against
Chief Veal and his department. The coun-
ell adopted the report and the trial will oc-
cur without delay.
Upon the investigation which the coun-
Gil has ordered the evidence will be pref
~ much the same az that already brought
out, but Chief Veal will be allowed to
put in defense, whereas upon the recent
investigation he was not, the committee
hearing only ex-parte testimony.
1t is charged that Chief Veal has been
guilty of malfeasance in making contracts
for city supplies, and in general that he
has feathered his private nest at the pub
lie expense. In the specihca ton present.
ed by the committee it is alleged that
the chief is incompetent and neglectful,
and also that his brother-in-law, whom
he appointed to a good position, should be
dismissed from the service for the same
reasons.
It is charged that Veal paid for horses
for his department which were never de
liVered, that he gave eXorbitant prices
for those really bought, dividing the
profits with Rowland & Marks, stockmen,
with whom he dealt to the exclusion of all
other dealers in the city, The committee
showed where he had paid $3.50 for horse
to pull a dump cart and also developed
vouchers which show apparently that the
city paid for hundreds of thousands of
pounds of stock feed which was never de-
livered, the inference being that he dvi-
ded the profits on these most of which
were made from one firm

er over TO the Superior Court
without BoiI-Witnesses Testify
That HaIsteRd Winked at Mrs.
Reid and Also EndeavOred 10 Get
Up n Filtration with other MO-
men-The Dead Man n Cousin of
Murat HaIstead.
Macon, Ga, April s.-Coroner Hollis held
an inquest over the remains of L. w. Hal
stead who was killed at the circus last
night and the jury rendered a verdict at
o'clock this morning as follows: 1--WE
have examined the evidence in this case
and fully believe that the deceased came
to his death by gunshot wounds at the
hands OF c. r. Reid and in our opinion the
same was justihable homicide"
G. w Mitchell and Taylor Y. Brent tes-
titled that they saw Halstead speak to diff
ferent women in the circus tent. Mitchell
testified that he saw Halstead speak 10
Mrs. Reid and saw him wink at her.
From the evidence it seems that Mrs.
Reid was not the only woman Halstead
had endeavored to get up Irritation with.
Reid was this morning bound over to the
superior court for murder without bond. A
commitment trial was held before Judge
NJ. r. Freeman. city recorder. Only two
witnesses were examined. These were
Chief Boifeuillet and G. w. Mitchell, the
former making a statement as to what he
saw and what Reid told him about why
the crime was committed.
Mitchell testified as to the insults offered
Mrs. Reid and other ladies in the circus
tent by Halstead.
Judge Freeman refused to go into the
merits of the case, holding that he had no
authority to do so, as 1t was a matter to
be determined by a higher court. Reid was
taken to jail, where he will remain.
Application will be made to Judge Eel
ton of the superior court Saturday for
bail. Judge FELTON, is now at Perry hold
ing Houston superior court, and will not
return to Macon until Saturday.
Reid felt confident that he would be re-
leased this morning, and he was very
much surprised when Judge Freeman
committed him TO jail without bond.
Reid still maintains that he was justi-
fled, and says he feels satisfied he has
done his duty to his wife and has no
cause for regret.
letter from Halstead's wife was
found in the dead mans pocket last night.
She stated that she was at Charleston,
where she had gone because it was cheap
er to live there than in Atlanta.
THsre was talk of lynching Immediately
after the killing occurred, but Reid was
sent to the police station, and was given
every protection. To-day everything is
quiet, and there is no excitement.
In all probability the grand jury will
take the matter up next week, and it may
be that Reid and bennington will both
be indicted. bennington accompanied Reid
to the circus, and was with him when the
fatal shot was fired.
Mrs. Halstead arrived in the city this
morning. The dead man was cousin of
Murat Halstead, the journalist.

REV. MIR. BERNARD.s RESOLUTIONS
Plan Presented For Broader Edu-
cationaI Movement.

Athens Ga, April THE resolution in
troduced by Rev. II. r. Bernard of this
city in the Georgia Baptist convention
were not reported fully enough to enable
the people of the state to grasp their full
meaning. They will undoubtedly, in the
judgment of a number of the citizens of
Athens, start an interesting religious and
educational movement
After citing the fact that the denomina-
tional colleges of Georgia are doing a
good work, which should not be impeded,
they suggest that, as all legislation affects
them more or less, that the legislation be
aimed at their protection and not their
injury. They suggest that it would be bet
ter TO harmonic all interests instead of
having any conflicts. They are against
any union of church and state, but are not
opposed to the university, They suggest
that the curriculum of the university be
raised to the highest grade in the scien-
tihc, industrial and professional depart
ments.
These resolutions have been referred to
a committee consisting of Drs. j. II. Hail
of Newman, Henry Mcdonald and w. w.
Landrum of Atlanta, G.. A. Nunnally of
La Grange and II. r. Bernard of Athens,
and Will come up for discussion al the next
session OF the Georgia Baptist convention.

Atlanta, Ca, April 9.-Capt. ]. F. Kemp
ton of the Atlanta artillery was placed on
trial before the general court martial this
afternoon, the trial of all the privates of
the battery having been concluded at the
morning sitting.
Counsel on both sides made sharp argu-
ments in the cases of the privates, the
judge advocate taking the position that
they were all guilty of INSTRUMENTATION
and Maj. WilcoXson, for the men, declar-
ing that they were so Inundated by hav-
ing Capt. Kempton as their commander
that they were willing to run the risk of a
court martial to get rid of him. The attor-
ney said that on account of Capt. Kemp
ton the small boys and others guyed the
artillery as they appeared on parade.
The trial will be completed tomorrow
The members of the court are under oath

mulgated through the proper channel
Capt. Kempton entered a denial to all
the specifications from the alleged falsi-
fication of the rolls at Camp Northen to
the change of obscenity in the presence of
his battery while on duty. He took the
position that Sergt. Thurmond was guilty
of the classification of the rolls at camp.
1t is admitted that the roll was falsifed,
but the sergeant claimed that it was done
by order of the captain, which leaves the
court to fix the responsibility.

Atlanta. Ga, April s.-Gov. Atkinson
will go to Poulan. Worth county, on April
II to deliver an address upon an occasion
which will doubtless attract a good deal
of attention. 1t will be at the laying of
the corner stone of the first cotton fac

belt of the state, and as such the COVER
nor will discuss the industrial question in
a way which he hopes will be effective in
inducing other similar enterprise.
The invitation asking Gov. Atkinson to
attend the laying of the corner stone of
the Poulan factory was received several
days ago. 1t was signed by all the promi-
nent citizens of that progressive little
city. They realize that the enterprise is
an important one. marking, as it does, the
establishment of factories right in the
very cotton fields themselves, and for that
reason they want the governor to help
celebrate the event in a way that will
emphasize it.
