A. O'Byrne, showing the condition of that
concern, and the report makes it clear
that stockholders will not receive more
than % per cent. of the amount paid In,
and probably nothing at all.
The general report of Accountant B. F.
Moore, attached to the letter of the receiv-
ers, shows assets of $651, 26253 and liabilI-
ties of 1919, .66, leaving a deficit of $227.
946.13. The real deficit will be much larger
than this because most of the items In
the list Of assets are worth considerably
less than their face value. 1t is clearly
shown by the investigation that w. c.
Hale, the absconding president of the as
ISOLATION, looted and used the loot for per-
sonal speculation.
Concluding their report the receivers
say: 1--WE deem it proper to advise you
at this time that some of the stockholders
who had filed withdrawal notices under
the bylaws, sixty days prior to the failure
of the association, contend, through their
attorneys, that they are creditors and
must be paid in full before the other
stockholders can expect to draw a divi-
dend. Should this contention be sustain
ed, shareholders who did not file such no.
tees of withdrawal will probably get
nothing, since the value of shares under
notice of withdrawal amounts to about

PICKED UP HIS OWN ARM.
A Train Cut 1t on, But Carroll Car
ried 1t Away.


From the New York World.
John Carroll very much surprised the
station master at Coscob, Conn, on Sun
day night
CarrolFs left arm was cut off by a
railroad train. He did not die from shock,
hemorrhage did not kill him, he did not
even faint.
With distinguished presence of mind he
picked UP his dismembered limb with the
right hand that was left to him. He car
ried the arm to the railroad station, laid
it on the platform and calmly asked the
station master for a drink of whisky.
Carroll is sturdy fellow of middle age.
He says he is a moulder, living in Bridge
port He wanted to go TO South NorWalk
in search of work on Sunday night. So.
having no money, he stole a ride on a
freight train.
The train was passing Coscob station,
when Carroll, thinking he had arrived at
South Norwalk jumped off. He landed
on the picket fence between the tracks
and was thrown back from it, scrambling
and struggling alongside the track on
which the train was still rumbling by.
The train passed over his left arm just
above the elbow, crushing it, mangling
III, nnaIly seVer1ng II by the teartul weight.
Carroll got on his feet, picked up the
arm and walked to the station, a few feet
away.
Carefully placing his arm on the plat
form where it would be safe, he entered
the station
For gracious sake, give me a drink of
whisky!' he said to the station master.
Pm beginning to feel faint just had my
arm cut off"
The astonished railroad man promptly
supplied the whisky, and, seeing the arm
on the platform, became fainter than Car
roll himself. But he ran for DIR. Holmes
near by. The doctor tried some of the big
arteries In what was left of CAROLS arm,
although they were bleeding but slightly,
and put on a tight bandage. During this
operation Carroll collapsed.
KIN me, kill metz he begged the ply
sician.
"Oh, nonsense" answered DR. Holmes.
killing is not my profession. I'll save
you. You're worth teg thousand dead
men,"
Carroll was talzen to the Stamford Hos
pital, where the surgeons are much in
terested in him. They say, 1t is very sur
prising that he did not suffer from the
extreme shock. But they explain that in
such an injury the blood vessels are so
crushed that their coats contract, turn in
on themselves and so naturally prevent
the flow of blood.
Otherwise Carroll would almost surely
have bled to death.

BITS FROM BRUNSWICK.
Municipal Politics Apt to Have a
FOrcefuI Effect I'm state Affairs.

Brunswick, Ca. Oct. 2O.-There are at
present six British steamships In port.
The seasons cotton exports bid fair to
greatly exceed any previous year Both
the Southern and Plant system are put
ting in many carloads weekly.
City Clerk l.. c. Bodet is an expert pen
artist. The records of council are evidence
Of his artistic work. Each particular or
dinance, when spread on the minutes, is
headed by some sign typical of the SUBJ
ject. The one imposing quarantine on in
fected cities has a yellow flag flying; that
for cows is ornamented with a pen and
ink sketch of a bulls head, and so on,
down the list of city laws. The usual dry
monotony of reading city ordinances Is re-
heved by this pen work.
The administration political forces of
Glynn county are uniting on Col Joseph
W. Bennett for the bench to succeed Judge
j. Il. Sweat. The INSTRUMENTATION forces
of Glynn are also uniting on Bennett, and
he will leave his home county without OPP
position. 1t IS generally conceded that
Judge Sweat will not offer for reelection
One of the results of the Good Govern
ment Clubs works i'm Glynn has been to
solidify the local administration forces.
At one time it looked very probable that
a general smash-up in administration cir
Giles would occur, but the reformers have
stopped all movements TO break states.
The administration forces are being at
tackled in a heap by the reformers and in
consequence have decided to stand to-
gether and fight in a bunch. This may
result in Glynn county going against Mr.
du3ignon for governor Senator Harry
f. Dunwody is a strong local administra-
ton man and is supposed to be slated for
attorney general on the Terrell govern
orship ticket. Should present indications
mean anything, Dunwody will put all his
influence to work to swing Glynn into
the Terrell column. 1t is looked upon now
as a duBignon stronghold.
Several days rain has caused numerous
breaks in Brunswcks sewerage system.
The breaks occurred last night, and on
one first being discovered it was decided
to look for more in order to guard against
accidents. Assistant Chief of Police Lev
ison and Foreman Saunders of the fire
department found the breaks and placed
lanterns near them The shifting sand of
this section, as influenced by heavy rain
falls, is supposed to be the cause of the
breaks.
The shipping fraternity are securing
signers of a petition asking the govern
ment to place a lghtshp off st. Simon
coast There is at present lighthouse on
st. Simons Island. This light is well
enough in its way, but the shipmasters
claim 1t does not answer all the purposes
desired. The coast for many miles north
of Brunswick Shoals for about six miles
out. Unless one is perfectly familiar
with the coast, he is liable to steer direct
ly into the shoals. A hghtship would give
them something to steer for and prove
valuable addition to navigation. The re-
cent trouble of the government tug Nina
in running the brig Robert Dillon ashore,
is pointed to as evidence of the need of
lightship to mark the coast.

wAYCRoss' SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Advocates of 1t VIII Work Enthusi-
astica1Iy For the Laws Passage.

Waycross, Ga, Oct. 2O.-The prospect for
the successful passage of the Waycross
sewerage bill in the coming session of the
general assembly is encouraging already,
and when the people of Waycross fully dis
cuss the exlgency of the measure the re-
suit viii undoubtedly be exceedingly graft
flying to those citizens who are advocating
It, The editorial on Sanitation and Few
err in to-day's Morning News was very
interesting to Waycross citizens, and many
have thought the purpose of 1t as applica-
BILE to this city's needs. From the increase
in malarial fevers this year in Waycross
over former years the people rightly judge
the sanitary condition of the place to be
bad and realize the great necessity for a
proper sewerage system. The present con-
dition of sanitation is dangerous to life,
health and property.
Another year without a sewerage system
might cause yellow fever to break out here
and it is certain that other fevers which
now exist would come next summer and
cause deaths and much suffering and ex-
penSe.

Dalton. Ga. Oct 20.-The trial of Capt.
II j. Peoples on a second indictment for
receiving eight boxes of stolen tobacco
from the Bohannon gang of car pirates,
which was commenced after dinner yester-
day and consumed all the afternoon, was
concluded to-day, and resulted in YER
diet Of acquittal, the jury preferring to
believe the prisoners statement in prefer
ence to Bohannon's testimony.
The only witness the state had to sus-
tain the alleged transaction between the
gang of train robbers and Capt. Peoples
was Walter Bohannon, chief of the car
pirates, and a negro, Anthony Cook, who
was a fence for the gang for long time,
hauling for them day and night. Bohan-
non stated positively that he had sold the
tobacco specified to Capt. Peoples for the
sum of 49, and that Capt Peoples paid him
$40 in bills and g in silver for the same
in the rear of the Dalton Grocery Compa-
ny's store He said that Capt. Peoples
came to a pine thicket in his buggy to get
the tobacco. But his horse became unruly
and he left the designated place without
It, Cook, the negro drayman testified to
having delivered the tobacco in Capt.
Peoples lot, and that in payment for this
service he received so cents from Walter
Bohannon.
1t was expected that Capt. Peoples would
introduce half hundred witnesses to
prove his character, but he did not When
the time came for the defense no evidence
was introduced at ALL but the statement
Of the defendant who entered a general
denial of everything charged in the bill
and sworn to by Bohannon and the negro
drayman.
Col. J. W. Harris tried to
have the Peoples case thrown
out of court, because there had been no
specified amount named in assessing the
value of the stolen goods alleged to have
been received by Capt. Peoples The mo-
ton was overruled by Judge Ffte.
New indictments were to-day served
against Mack Cannon, merchant, and John
H Bender alderman and former Dalton
merchant. These were both for receiving
stolen goods A similar bill was secured
against Silas Clemmons, a merchant this
being the first bill against him. Clemmons
was at home having been stricken with
paralysis on Monday
Ed Hill and Sam Blackwell were released
from custody this morning. They had
been held by order of the court to testify
before the grand jury.
Sheriff johnson returned from Washing
ton, Ga this morning, with another inn
portant witness, Jack Fannin. There are
also three charges of selling whisky
against Fannin.

BRYAN's EARLY ROMANCE.
His Meeting With a Nun in Kentucky
Recalled Scenes of the Past.
From the Washington Post.


From the Washington Post.
Louisville KY, Oct. Ills there a ro-
nance in the life Of William Jennings
Bryan, which he has kept sacredly guard
ed from the world? That is what is be-
ing asked by members of the party who
accompanied Mr.. Bryan on his tour of
Kentucky last week. 1t was called forth
by an accident which happened at Loret-
to, KY At this place there is famous
school for girls, which is in charge of the
Nazarene sisters. When the Bryan spe-
cial reached Loretto the girls of the school
had gathered to greet the great silver
leader. Three hundred of them walked to
the rear of the coach and grasped his
hand. Then the sisters, who were in
charge, pressed forward. One by one they
clasped his hand and passed on. The
sixth stopped. 1t was In the deep twi-
light and the lights of the little town
were struggling in the autumn haze. She
raised her cowl, and, looking up, said:
Mr.. Bryan, l knew you in the long
ago.
Mr. Bryan was startled. He leaned for
ward, and name was whispered in his
ear. He still clasped the hand of the nun.
whose cowl had fallen back and revealed
a face that showed traces of great beauty
and evinced a person of superior birth.
There was a whispered converse ton Mr..
Bryans face lighted up. The crowd about
the train had fallen back and they stood
alone in the gathering darkness Then the
bell sounded for the train to leave, but
still they talked with hands clasped Not
tore their hands apart, did Mr.. Bryan
leave the step of the coach.
II knew her long ago." was all the ex-
PLANTATION he gave to those of his party.
