Atlanta, Ga, August Lieut.

expected in Georgia ever since his
arrival in tho United States from
Santiago, is with his mother at
Lithia Springs. The Lieutenant

the naval horo was kept shaking
hands until each individual had been

was cordial and his bearing modest.
At Austell thero was a call for the
distinguished traveller to come to
the platform, to which he responded.
When the train pulled up at tho
station at Lithia Springa, where the
mother was waiting, crowd Of
guests from Sweetwater Park Hotel
had gathered to join in tho welcome.
The meeting between mother and
son was n pathetic ono. The son
kissed his mother, who threw her
arms around his neck and for several
moments rested hor head on his
shoulders, shedding tears of JOY.
The crowd stood aside in reverence
AS she walkod up the lane from the
depot to tho hotel leaning on the
arm OF her boy her face WAS aglow.
These two led the way from the
station and the guests followed two

in late years losing their Significance.
The small and weak are sinking out OF

The conflict is reducing itself to a battle
among the great.

OF European nations those that occupy

He was on horse back and at Benjamin Jenkins place, III. stead of taking the toll road, he turned OH upon what is known as the Backbone road. That was the last time he was seen alive. A heavy snowstorm set in, nlght came on and he lost his way and per1sned
 For weeks after his disappearance the country was searched by as many as th1r- ty men at & time. The horse was found, dead but not a trace of the rider;
 Roberts was pensioEer, in receipt or Si0 per quarter The day before he left on his mission to Montgomery Creek he re- ceived his quarterly check from the SUD, Treasurer's office in San Francisco, and from that day to this the widow, With Q large family and sorely in need or the money, was unable to have the check cashed because she could not prove her husband dead.
 Roberts was an educated man, widely known in this county and of splendid rep utation. He had taught school here and elsewhere and had served a term as depu- ty postmaster of Bedding under the late J. N. Major. The later years of his life were devoted to farming.
 With proof of her husbands death the widow will now not only receive the mon- ey long overdue, but be speedily granted a pension dating back to the time of her husbands disappearance.

MISSION HIGH SCHOOL.
Question of It's Acceptance Submit
 ted to a Board of Arbitration.

The Building and Finance Committees of the Board of Education met in the Mission High School yesterday afternoon to consider the acceptance of the new institution of learning. There were pres ent Directors Harrington, Waller, Galla- gher, Hammond and Burns, Architect Charles Havens, Superintendent James Fennel and Contractor Logan.
 After a thorough investigation the build ing was found to be complete except as to the ventilating and heating apparatus, which was let on an independent contract. It was agreed that Contractor Logan had complied with the specifications, but 8 difference of opinion existed between him and Director Burns as to the amount of debits and credits, Burns claiming that the sum of $500 was due the city and Lo- gan like amount to himself. After some discussion it was decided to submit the matter to board of arbitration one to be chosen by the committees, one by Logan and the two so selected to choose a third.
 It is the intention of the directors to request Samuel H. Kent, president of the Builders Exchange, to serve. but 1t is not yet known whom Logan will select.

NOT MUCH OF A LOSS. Captain Birmingham Has No Special Regret for Destruction of Build
 ings at the Powder Works.

In speaking of the accident by which several buildings at the California Pow der Works were destroyed yesterday, Captain Bermingham, president of the company, said:
 Our loss is not as great as might at first be supposed. We had a contract with the Government for the manufac- ture of smokeless powder and large amount was ready for immediate ship ment Fortunately for US a provision in our contract provides for just such a contingency as this, so that we will lose nothing by failure to provide the sup ply within a stipulated time.
 Aside from our losses there Is one feature of which I am glad. These burned buildings were erected in a hurry as we secured contracts and they were put up with little regard to order Now we can replace them properly and sttu- ate them at safe distance one from the other. The loss on the buildings may foot up 5000 and that on the gun cotton about $500. The machinery may cost us anywhere from S ssoS0 to o s6ooo and and immediately on rebuilding, so our 100 men will not be idle more than month.'

Harry Vandall, collector for the Cal fornia Powder Works, is missing. lie is believed to be in Portland or some other of the northern cities.
 Vandall attended to his duties "eek ago last Saturday forenoon as usual ana started out again in the afternoon on collection trip. He did not return tha' night and his employers and friends nave seen nothing of him since. sunday friend of the young man purchaseu wv tickets for Portland, and upon this Iact IS based the belief that he started north lnsse iI night However, the friend Is again III the city. ,, ora
 If the charges made against him are true Vandall is certainly the black sneep of an excellent family. His two brothers hold positions of trust and are n1gnly esteemed by business associates and soclal acuuaintances, while his widowed mother is a member of one of the best-kno"n families in town.
 Vandall has been in the employ Of the California Powder Company for six years, and that officials of the company will take no steps to bring him back indicates that his dereliction is not regarded by them as serious The statement is made by friends that the only reason for the dis appearance of Vandall is that he had be- come somewhat involved in debt and, har- assed by creditors, decided to find some new field temporarily.

Saved His Clarionets.

Conductor Hinrichs of the Baldwin orchestra counted himself fortunate in saving from the hotel fire the remnants of his valuable violin, but his joy does not equal that of Caesar Caspari, who for years has played first clarionet in the same place of amusement, besides exc cutting occasional solos at the park and in society concerts. MT. Caspari. on the night of the fire, left two valuable in struments in their leather covered case under the stage of the Baldwin. They were imported from Paris, and it is said their equals cannot be found on the coast. In searching the ruins of the theater the case of instruments was recovered and. to the delight of Signor Caspari, his mu- sical treasures were uninjured.
