RAILROAD HEADS DECAPITATED.
Several DismissnIs at Atlanta In the
w. and 4. Offices.

anu - OAhNtNs
Atlanta Ga, Aug. 12-There is a big
shake up among the officials of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad of which the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis is
the lessee. Recently, as has already been
published, z. p Burns, for years agent of
the Western and Atlantic here, was DIS
missed and a new man put in his place.
The ostensible reason for the removal of
Mr.. Burns, who is member of the City
Council, was that he had permitted re-
saclNing privileges here on through bills of
ladng.
Next Joseph NJ. Brown. trafac manager
of the road, got his walking papers, ana
to-day IL Is announced unofically that j.
L. Dickey, general freight agent, has
been decapitated In the cases of Traffic
Manager Brown and Freight Agent Dick
ey no appointments have been made. be-
cause II is understood TO be the plan of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Company TO consolidate their officers with
those Of the Nashville Chattanooga and
st. Louis. Both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Dick
ey have been identified with the Western
and Atlantic for approximately quarter
of century, having served under the old
lesseos, MIR. Brown being a son OF the late
Senator Joseph +. Brown, president of
the old lessee company.
The idea OF making the consolidation is
attributed to President Smith of the Lou
isville and Nashville, which road owns a
controlling interest in che Nashville Chat
tauooga ana St. Louis. II is further said
that Charles e. Harman, now general
passenger agent Of the Western and At
lantic, by virtue OF his position as assist
ant general passenger agent of the Nash
VILE Chattanooga and 81. Louis is TO
haNa his bpriey Ia I
Atlantic largely increased. He is to be
made general agent, 1t is reported. with
tuu control at this end of the line Mr.
Hartman Is acknowledged 10 be one of the
most competent ana popular railroad men
in the country and his friends were al
ready conSratulatng him to-day. He, too,
like Messrs Brown and Dickey, has been
connected with the Western and Atlantic
for many years and his services have al
ways been highly priced.

The Falling OF Viewed Apprehen-
siveIy by state Authorities.
Atlanta Ca, Aug. 1.-THE slump in tax
returns as shown by the books of the tax
receivers sent in to the Controller Gener-
ais office continues TO grow. Up to this
afternoon 119 of the 197 counties had been
heard from. They show total decrease of
S,SJO,442. Only thirty-niue counties of the
number show an increase over last year $
returns, the total Increase in these counties
being H,S5SO4, while the eighty counties
which slump go off s., 205, 5S6. The country
counties are those thai stump in their re-
turns.
AT the capitol the decrease is viewed
with considerable apprehension on account
Of the deficit that il Is likely TO cause in the
states revenues. The cause of the SLUMP
is attributed TO a determination on the part
of the people not to permit an increase of
their taxes to meet the increased appro-
priations made by the last legislature

of San Francisco. The remainder was in
vested in government bonds. He said that
he had no direct heirs and proposed that if
Mr.. Newsom would go with his family to

remainder of his life. he would make Mr..
Newsom his heir.

was true. Mr.. Cook referred him to San
