The Ex-SenatOr's Talk About CIeve-
land Taken Seriously.
New York, March 9.-Ex-Senator Patrick
Walsh of Georgia is at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. Two or three weeks ago, when
he was in the city, he made some facet
ious remarks about the Cleveland admin
istration. These remarks. he said to-day.
have caused him a great deal of trouble
among the democrats. of Georgia. His
fine satire was lost on the people of his
state. The statement that President
Cleveland had made the country pros
porous and happy, and had made the
American idea paramount in Hawaii and
Cuba was taken literally and the people
down south asked the ex-senator TO ex-
plain.
"Humor is a dangerous thing" he said
this morning, land 1 will leave 1t alone
In future. 1 have abandoned the idea Of
giving a series of lectures on our Coun-
try as Cleveland Found IT and as He Lost
it The people of the south, and l am
speaking seriously now, regardless of par
ty, have confidence in President McKin-
ley There is no sectional feeling The
democrats want to see him succeed, ana
will not do anything to make his way
difficult"

The Treasurer, However, Says He
VIII Make Good Any Shortage.
Atlanta, Ga, March 9.-John w. Hum
phries, ex-city marshal, and for number
of years secretary and treasurer of the
local division of the Order of Railway
Conductors, has resigned the latter office

now at work on the books.
Members of the committee refuse to af-
firm or deny the reported shortage.

that his books will be found to be all
right, and that the examination is only
the usual inspection that is made when
ever an office changes hands.

HUMPHREYS, who retired from the mar
shalship this year, was $500 short in his
accounts with the city. Mayor Collier

check for it.
He and his friends say that If there is

VEAL WINS AN EASY VICTORY.
THE MAN WHO PREFERRED THE
CHARGES RUNS AWAY.

when the Time For Opening the
Hearing Arrives He Fails to show
UO-His Counsel Withdraws the
Charges by His DirectiOn-An Irate
Husband with "A shot Gun Said
to Have Been the Cause of His
Flight.
Atlanta Ca. March 9.-The investiga-
ton of the sensational charges against
T. E. Veal chief of the sanitary depart
ment which was to have commenced be-
fore the board of health this afternoon,
collapsed on the first round.
Charles w. Joiner, the ex-inspector, who
preferred the charges. failed to show up
and when the board announced that it
was ready to proceed Frank A. Arnold, at
torney for Joiner, arose and announced
that ne had been directed by Joiner to
withdraw the charges He had not seen
his client for two or three days, he said,
and did not know where he was at the
present time. The board allowed the
charges to be withdrawn. and will report
the whole affair back to the city coun-
ell. The charges against Veal were mall
feasance in office and immoral conduct I'M
der circumstances calculated to bring obi
UNI upon his office.
Joiner disappeared two days ago. He is
supposed to have taken fight in order to
save himself from being made the target
of an angry husband with a double-bar-
relied shotgun. Several days ago he was
arrested upon a warrant charging him
with having stolen lot of ware from the
Hotel Granite, at which he had been
employed. 1t was alleged that he had
given the silverWare to the wife of a
citizen living on Woodward avenue, with
whom he was on terms of criminal init
macy. Shortly after his arrest it was
reported that this woman had confessed
all, and that her husband had sworn to
kill Joiner on sight. Joiner was notified
of the threat, it is said, and also got
word that the husband, who had been
on the lookout for him since the ex-
posure, would wait for him at the council
chamber, where the investigation was bill
ed to be held this afternoon, Joiner, IL is
assumed, feared that he would be shot
full of holes if he made his appearance
at the council chamber, and therefore,
determined TO give up the fight against
Veal and get clean out of the way of the
outra ged husband
Joiner claimed at the time of his ar
rest and release on bond that the charges
against him was trumpet up by YEATS
friends 20 kill off his charges against that
,ofiicial. and denied all knowledge OF the
woman alleged to be in the case. one of
the peculiar features of the affair is that
the woman with whom Joiner charged
that Chief Veal was creating a scandal
at the city hall is said TO have been the
active one in working up the charge of
larceny against Joiner, and bringing the
woman with the angry husband who AN
him out of town, into the situation. Veal's
attorneys were ready to go on with the
Investigation, but the board would not
consider it.
Chief Veal is secretary of the National
Association of Sanitary Chiefs, having
been reelected several times to that po-
sition.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE.
1t is just As Nice AS Our Barnes,
Too.

r. D. & VIM. baltimore have just re-
ceived the Lightweight 1897 Remington
Racing Wheel fitted for street and road
use. This machine is the flower of the
Remington flock. 1t is light in weight
and more delicately built than the regular
road wheels, but is strong enough to carry
any rider up to 200 pounds and when fitted
with road tires and adjustable handlebars
it becomes an elegant machine for even the
most fastidious and particular wheelman.
The crank hangers are dropped two
inches below the line of the wheel axles,
making it low and very easy to mount,
and at the same time very speedy. This
model is finished in two sizes of frames
and will suit either a short man OF a tall
one.
The tread of the racer is narrow and
the finish is so exquisite that when this
model is finished in black and nickel
trimmed, it certainly represents a very
high degree of perfection in wheel build
ing We really do not believe criticism of
this machine is possible. We consider it
superb and for strength we think it will
out class all other wheels of it's lightness.
If you want, a truly splendid wheel to
ride for pleasure buy the Remington
Racer fitted with road tires, adjustable
handle bars and 72-gear. and you have one
of the bicycles that certainly is a peach.
I'VE have just received a supply of 1897
Ide catalogues. Call and get one We
have also the 1897 Heating catalogue, the
Eagle 1897 catalogue. the Remington 1897
catalogue.
If its a wheel you want we are the head
quarters, and can supply you, for we have
the very best agencies in existence.

MOBILE AND ONO ROAD.
A Proposed Extension Opposed by
the Stockholders.

the Stockholders.
New York, March "A meeting of the
stockholders of the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
read Company was held to-day to con-
slider the proposed extension from Column
bus, Miss. to Montgomery, Ala, line
of road about 200 miles long, bearing the
name of the Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and
st. Louis railroad. One-third of the cap
ttal stock of the Mobile and Ohio rail-
road was represented and opposition TO
the extension was practically unanimous
The opposition was based on the propo-
sition to issue "a, 100000 4 per cent. bonds
on the new line to be guaranteed, inter-
est and principal, by the Mobile and Ohio
This would increase the fixed charges
ahead of the Mobile and Ohio stock ny
100000. The stockholders at their an
nual meeting in December entered a pro-
test against the construction of the ex-
tension. Under power of attorney, ex-
ecuted in 1879, the directors of the Mobile
and Ohio are named by the bondholders
instead of the stockholders The stock
holders are seeking to abrogate this power
of attorney. The directors have been
trying to organize syndicate to under
write the extension bonds.
