CHURCH MONEY IN A TANGLE.
(Continued from Eighth Page.)

which Mr.. Haupt may subsequently be
found to owe the church.
r. j. OConnor, Esq, attorney for the
Oglethorpe company, Is examining into the
case. He may decide to take some legal
steps to-day which will either tend to
compiicate matters stlI further or, per-
haps, lead to a simplifying and unravel-
ing of the tangle. AS yet MIR. Haupt has
no attorney representing him, but in view
of the complications that have arisen 1t IL
probable that he win engage one making
four lawyers at work.
MIR. Haupt, in addition to being treas
urer of the building fund of the church
and of the Oglethorpe company, acted in
similar capacity for the Georgia Pine
Railroad, of which Mr.. J. p. Williams is
also president. An expert bookkeeper Is
reported to be at work on the books of
both the railroad and the building com
pany to see Ii there are any discrepan-
cies 1t is thought quite possible that
there are none as 1t is generally believed
that the misuse of the check for 81 900
was an act of a moment of desperation.
without generalization, and with the hope
that everything would be speedily straight
ened.
All the books and papers belonging to
the church will be delivered to the at
torney by Mr.. Haupt this morning. Mr..
Haupt yesterday rendered his resignat ton
company, OF the. Georgia Pine
Railroad and as bookkeeper for
the ]. p Williams Company. While il
may take some days TO arrange all mat
ters, 1t is believed that all moneys when
may be found due any of the interested
parties will be made good and that no
prosecutions will ensue

besides being highly complimented by Col.
Brown.
The athletic field day Saturday was a
Waterloo for the Sixty-ninth which met
their defeat at the hands of the Geor-
gans.
The principal event of the day was the
tug of war. contested by teams of nine
men from each regiment. When the nine
brawny Irishmen stepped forth with their
sleeves rolled up, nobody thought that the
georgia boys, who are unaccustomed 20
such sports, had the ghost of a show
contrary to expectations, the Georgans
pulled the mark three feet over the post
IN Just three minutes. 1t was nice vic
tory, and the delight of the Georgia regi-
ment knew no bounds. The victory of
the Georgians can be better appreciated

Second Georgia VIII stop In Allan

Second Georgia VIII Stop In Allan
ia for a Dress Parade.
Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 1s.-It is now pos
itively announced that the regiment will
break camp Wednesday morning. This
means it's departure that afternoon or
night and arrival in Atlanta Thursday
morning. A dress parade in Atlanta is on
the Savannah battalion will get away
from Atlanta before Thursday night.
1t is said on good authority that an ef-
fort is being made to have the regiment
encamped at Atlanta for thirty-days in
stead of distributing the men at their
home points. on furlough. 1t is very doubt
full if this will be done, however.
Lieut.. Freeman, whose resignation as
adjutant of the regiment has been ac-
cepted by the Governor, will leave for Sa-
vannah tomorrow night. Lieut.. Freeman
has displayed a marked efficiency in the
discharge of his duties and sewers his con-
nection with the regiment with the esteem
and respect of both. officers and men.
The report published locally in the
Morning News a day or two ago and
which was generally current here in the
camp that Private Dortic of Company B
stabbing of a member of the Sixty-ninth
New York, was an error. Dortic's friends
were so worked up over the report that
they were with difficulty persuaded from
organizing gang to rescue him. Fortu-
nately the report was a canard, Dortic' s
arrest being for some trivial offense and
his confinement lasting only day or so.

PoOR BRITIsH ROYALTIES.
Had Financial Condition of the Duke
OF Teck and His Family.

If the Duchess of York looks gloomy and
unhappy do not put it down to any msdo-
Ings of her hubby. but to a more melan-
choy cause.-The poverty of her family.
For there are degrees of poverty, and the
Tecks knew a good many of them In days
gone by Marrying an only daughter TO the
only son of The Prince of Wales should
have frightened their financial condition,
but IL had only temporary relief, for in
less than three years the good Duchess
died, and her annuity of $4,000 year from
the crown died with her. All her belongings
had to be sold 10 pay her debts. Her hus-
band and three sons became as helpless as
blind kittens. The eldest son, who Is pen
sioner on his father-in-law, the Duke Of
Westminster, might hand out half-crown
occasionally TO poor papa, and the future
Queen Of England might pay for his laun-
dry, but the other boys couldn't do a thing,
for they were even worse off, having only
the interest of their debts to live upon.
The old Duke of Teck, who was COM
pletely broken down by the loss Of his
spouse and his penniless state, has now
become imbecie and requires the constant
attentions of three nurses and a doctor, all
of which costs much money, as everybody
knows What to do with the father Of the
Duchess of York is a Notifying problem
which the Queen can solve II she chooses
but which she hasn't chosen TO do, owing
10 one of the freaks that sometimes af-
hicts her. For she does not like the Duke
of Teck When woman doesn't like man
that settles 1t. II Is not the poor handsome
dukes fault that he was the son Of a NOR
ganatic marriage. He married the most
popular Princess in England, and with the
Queens full consent but there have been
ructions ever since between them, and
Queen Victoria scarcely treated the Duke
decently, although she was perfectly will
ing his daughter should marry her grand
son. Now the scandal of these poor rela-
tons poverty cannot be concealed any
longer, and either the Duke must go to
the alnshouse or her majesty must pension
him Off in some secluded corner of the en-
pire.

Her majesty gave several reproving looks without avail. At length. ill flirting her hand kerchief over the sides of the carriage, the princess dropped it. too evidently not accidentally. Instantly two or three young officers sprang from their sad dies to return it, but the voice of the queen staid them.
 "Stop, gentlemen, leave it just where it lies, |" she said. Now, my daughter. get down from the carriage and pick up your handkerchief. There was 70 kelp for it. The royal footman let down the steps for the little lady, who proceeded to lift from the dust the pretty piece of cambrio and lace. She blushed good deal as she turned her head saucily. but was doubtless angry enough.
