They Caught the Wrong Man.,

vA1DosA, GA.-Chief Engineer @.
R. Gerard came to town Saturday for
money to pay off railroad hands. On
his return from Macon he was sud-
denly attacked by eight negro brutes,
each of them pointing pistol at him.
Their demands showed that it was
murder OF necessity. Gerard real
lied his position and said: swell,
boys, you have the drop on me. I
suppose there is no use in my resist
ing your demands" and he felt in his
pocket to draw package. Instead of
a package he brought forth pistol,
and it came out belching lead. The
ringleader fell at the first shot and the
next shot knocked out another. Two
more shots were fired by Gerard as
his horse dashed away. Gerard was
shot at several times but was not hit.

THEY WANT CONCESSIONS.
Capitalists Anxious to Go Into OuD"'
Porto Rico and the Philippines.

WASHINGTON. - Information mas
reached the administration that the
local governments of cities and large
towns in Cuba and Porto Rico are con-
stantly being besieged by capitalists
and promoters, with view to securing
valuable railroad and other franchises
and concessions at figures below thelr
value. The matter was discussed at
Fridays cabinet meeting, and instruc-
tions will be sent at once to the mill
tary governors to exercise extreme
care in approving such grants, and II
any grants be found to be not IN the
interests Of the people, or If secured
at figures below their real value, 10
veto them forthwith.
Since the close of the war various
schemes to secure the monopoly OF
street lighting, street railways, etc.
have been started on the assumption
that when the United States took con-
troll of affairs large sums OF money
would seek investment there, and that
fortunes coald be easily made The
local governments, it is said, have
been disposed to grant these monopo-
lies very freely upon the payment
down of considerable sum, but from
this time forward each case will be
carefully scrutinized, and all wildcat
schemes will be promptly vetoed.
The war department authorizes the
following:
The following order has been sent
by the secretary of war to the com
handing officer in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines: "Until otherwise
ordered no grant or concessions OF
public or corporate rights or franchises
for the construction of public or quasi
public conveniences, such as railways,
tramways, telephone, telegraph, water
works, gas-works, electric light lines,
ETC., shall be made by any municipal
or other local governmental authority
or body in Cuba, Porto Rico or the
Philippines, except upon the approva
