into saloon near the navy yard in an in

Grand Master Taylor reported to the
lodge the renewal of amcable relations
with Italy, ireland and British Columbia,
and said that request had been filed by

tionship.

father. He commended most highly to the
lodge competency and faithfulness of MIR.
Wohhin. and characterized him as worthy
successor TO his most excellent father.

vices in honor of Grand Master A. NJ.

were paid 10 his services for the grand
lodge.

EX-MAYOR COOPER PARDONED.
Gov. Atkinson Grants CIemency to
Remove Disabilities.

Gov. Atkinson Grants CIemency to
Remove Disabilities.
Atlanta, Ca, oct. 26.-Gov. Atkinson this
afternoon granted a pardon to John Ty-
Ter Cooper, ex-mayor of this city, who
was clerk of the board Of county commits
sioners. Cooper's sentence was three
months in the county Jail and fine of
$500. His time would have expired to-mor-
row, and the only effect of the pardon is
to remove his disabilities Before grant
ing it Gov. Atkinson insisted that Solicit
tor Hill, who is a warm friend of Cooper,
and other officers of the court, sign a
document pledging themselves to make a
bona fde collection of the 500 fine, and
not to return it to Cooper. He suspected
that the entry of fine paid" on the rec
ords, was meaningless, and did not pro-
pose TO permit the sentence of the court
to be defeated by the friendship of the
court house officials. Cooper rode away
from the jail in a carriage in company
with Clark Howell, Sr.. who was active
in securing executive clemency for him.
A delegation of court house officials and
politicians called upon the governor at
the mansion during the day and asked for
the pardon. Judge Lumpkin of the supe-
rior court and Reid of the city court were
in the delegation. Prior to his crooked
ness in the office of the county commits
sioners, when 1t was charged he convert
ed 81 eco, though a compromise was made
for half that amount. Cooper was an in
tiuential politician and 1t was this pres
tige that saved him from the penitentiary,
and later secured the governors pardon.
