A VILLAINOUS FRAUD

Practiced Upon the Associated Pros,
by stock Jobbcrs- Negotiations Not
Br0l1ea on.
About noon yesterday, the following
bulletin was sent out to the clients OF
the Associated Press:
Paris, November 21.-The President
of the Spanish peace commission. Sen
or Monteroa Rios( has refused to con-
tinue the negotiations.
How this false report came to be cir
culated by an honest news gathering
association is made plain by the fol-
lowing telegram from the manager of
the Associated Press:
Chicago, November 21.-The bulle-
tin, sent out shortly after noon an
nouncing that Senior Rios had refused
to continue the peace negotiations, was
not sent from Paris by the correspond
ent. of the Associated Press
It was not sent with his knowledge
or by his agent.
The message was received over the
Wires OI lie SOIupdSIli iauCdiSc DCo
Cables Telegraphiques (the French
Telegraphic Cable Company, and it
appears on inquiry that the cable sheet
handed in at the Paris Office was en-
dorsed in the name of the Paris cor
respondent of the Associated Press.
The cable company was imposed up
on.
In reply to special message of in
curry the Paris correspondent of the
Press says regarding the bulletin:
Il have sent no such statement. 1t
is declared, too, by the Spanish COM
missioner to be untrue. Has the Asso-
ciated Press been imposed upon by
stock jobbers?"

FRANK HEALY A CANDIDATE.

Mr.. Frank Healy will again be can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Mayor His friends point to the
fact that he made the race two years
ago, when candidates were scarce as
the proverbial hens teeth, and that he
ran far ahead of his ticket. For this
reason alone, they say he is entitled
to the nomination at a time whom tho
chances favor the election of the DEM
ocratic candidate. Mr.. Healy was one
of the best chiefs in the history OF the
fire department and made very ener-
getic and dignified canvass for Mayor
two years ago.

A SUGGESTION.
Wheeling. November q.

w ue6lluS, ANOFSHUC1 LIZ
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Allow me little space in your
valuable paper to say word for the
colored voters of the Second ward.
We are informed that there is a move
ment on foot by the many friends OF
DR.. B. H. Stillyard, one of our best
known colored citizens, to induce him
to consent to become their candidate
for Council. We are not informed
whether the doctor has given his con-
sent or not as yet, but we will say,
should he conclude to make the run,
he would make rafting canvass and
that no better choice could be made
by the colored citizens of the Second
ward, as the doctor is a broad minded
and conservative man and would make
a good member of Council. He is the
logical candidate from the fact that he
was only defeated some time ago by
twelve votes for Council.

Police Commissioner Gleason Look
ing for One He Loaned "A Soldier.
Electrician Claiborne was kept busy for
some time at the barracks last night noti-
flying The police on duty as they reported
to look out for a white horse with mill
tary saddle and brass stirrups."
The horse belongs to Police Commission
er Gleason. An adjutant of the Fifth Regi-
ment, which embarked In the afternoon,
hired the horse in the forenoon. He paid
for it at the time, and the reason the ami
NAL was not returned is probably explain
ed by his turning it over to some irrespon-
sible person at the wharf to return to Mr..
Gleason.
Policeman Godbold telephoned about II
o'clock that he had seen a man with
horse answering the description shortly be-
fore he was told to look for 1t. He made
an effort to find the man, but probably did
not succeed, as nothing further was heard
from him. The police VIII keep a sharp
lookout, however, as Commissioner Glea-
son has had more than his share recently
in losing horses, and they are anxious to
recover this one, as they have done others.

SUPPOSED TO BE non BREWER.
A Negro Much Like the Outlaw With
the Ninth Cavalry.

Waycross, Ga, Aug. S--A rumor was
current last night that the notorious Bob
Brewer, who killed several white men some
years ago in Wayne county, was in town
and that he was a corporal in the Ninth
United States Cavalry. A tall negro. Eight
complexion and answering very well the
description OF Brewer, came w town from
the railroad yard where his section of the
regiment was waiting for orders 10 move.
He wore uniform and a corporaTs stripes
adorned his arms After he returned to
the train some OF his fellows Informed
some white men here that he was The noto-
rious Bob Brewer of Jesup and that he
had killed six men in Georgia.
While very little attention and no ere
dence was given the rumor, il seemed
strange that negroes in the regiment would
give out such information unsolicited. II
viii be remembered that Brewer has been
reported dead a number of times. one re-
port year or two ago had 1t that he
Joined the Methodist conference in North
Carolina, and went to South Africa as "A
missionary and died of fever after con-
Tossing his crimes and identity to an
American Another rumor was that he died
of fever just before he landed In Africa and
was buried at sea. He Is said TO have con-
fessed all to the captain of the ship, say
ing he did not want TO die with such a ter
rible secret, as he wanted to go to heav-
en-.
Brewer committed the murders In Wayne
county about ten years ago, and fed to the
swamp and escaped. II was reported at
that time among the negroes that he was
captured and killed in the Altamaha riv-
er swamp near Doctortown, though the
white people were of the opinion that he
escaped to North Carolina and no trace Of
him could be found. In spite of Brewers
reported death from time to time, he still
hobs up alive every year or two, and no
effort is made to stop his mysterious APP
pearances

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. S.-The case of John
7. Moody was resumed in the City Grim
inal Court this morning and the argu.
ments consumed the entire forenoon At
1:30 o'clock Solicitor O'Niel finished the
argument and the court took a recess till
tomorrow, when the court will deliver the
charge and give the case to the jury
A surprise was sprung in the trial this
morning when one of his counsel, C. r.
Hopkins, raised the point that the Geor-
gia courts had no jurisdiction in the case
Mr.. Hopkins commended that if fraud had
been perpetrated il was in New York
where Bacon q Co., the firm which is al
legged to have been defrauded. does bust
ness and where that firm turned over its
goods TO the railway and steamship COM
panies for delivery to Moody & Brewster
If every charge in all the indictments
against Moody be true he is not convicta-
bic In this court, said Mr.. Hopkins. A
number of authorities were presented in
support of this view of the case.
Should the judge hold that his court has
no jurisdiction 1t win be incumbent upon
him to direct a verdict for the prisoner.
The. opening speech was made by Judge
William r. Hammond of Hammond.
Skeen q Langley. He was followed by
Charles T. Hopkins of John l.. Hopkins 4
Sons.
L. z. Rosser followed and Solicitor
O'Neil closed.
Judge Hammond paid his respects to the
prisoner at the bar in no uncertain terms
He referred to the fact that the books
of the concern showed Moody was in
debted to his firm in the sum of ST 900
while Brewster owed only $1,000. He
said if Brewster had taken in addition
all that Moody claimed he did, Brewster
was still several thousand dollars short
of catching up with his partner.
Judge Hammond characterized the dry
goods venture of Moody & Brewster as a
scheme gone into by the firm for the de-
hberate purpose of imposing upon the
commercial world and for failing full
handed. Mr.. Rosser defended his client
ably, but the weakness of his case was
apparent in every word.
