LEADS All M0RTM CARROLL nALE@ I'M NEWS AMID CIRCULATION
THE WRECKS AT MANILA.
Ships Sunk and Burned by Dewey in
His Famous Victory.

New York, July 21.-A correspondent
of the Journal, writing from Cayite.
Manila. July 18th, relates the result of
an inspection of the hulls of the Spanish
warships sunk in Manila by the squad
ron of Admiral Dewey. The cruiser
Reina Christina. shows the most com
plete destruction The course of the
Olympia's cight-nch shell is clearly
traced by Il line of ruin extending from
her stern to her waist. All her wood
work is totally destroyed There are
very few large shot holes through her
hull. the principal ones being from a
siX-inch shell amidship, and from some
four-inch shells Charred human re-
mains were seen in several places. a
large heap of remains, near where the
ladder stood shows that rush to es-
cape was made by the engineers force.
All were lost, as the matches to engines
and fire room were closed.
The cruiser Castillia was less burned,
but was terribly wrecked.
There are plain traces where six big
shells tore immense holes in her wood
en- hull When the fire started the
weight of the guns cavcd the hull in
ward
The warshp is now a mass of twist
cd iron and charred beams, Il very bad
wreck, resembling that of the Maine in
appearance.
Everything aft from the engines was
shattered. Three large shells entered
amidships.
The number of deaths was not so
large as on the Reina Christina.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not
burn. She sank quickly, riddled by
shells of all sizes. The greatest havoc
was done by the siX-inch shells.
A number of dead bodies, all huddled
together near the ladder leading to the
superstructure shows that the men
were killed by a shell as they were at
tempting to lift the treasure chest to the
supcrstructure and save it.

MRS. MARY T1soN WAITER DEAD.
Her Death Occurred at ChariOttes-
willie, Va. After a Long Illness.

The announcement Of the death of Mary
Tison Walter, which occurred at Char
Iottesville, Va, yesterday afternoon. viii
bring sorrow TO many hearts. She was
woman who was highly esteemed by all
who knew her, and loved by all who had
the good fortune to be numbered among
her friends Possessing a cultivated mind,
a gentle disposition and broad sympathies,
she was well qualified 10 make nome
happy, and her home was a happy one.
She was the daughter Of Hon. john NJ
Tison, who, at his death few years ago,
was Glynn county's most prominent ana
wealthy citizen, and was niece OF VIII
liam II. Tison. who was a distinguished
merchant of this city, and the widow OF
George Walter, who was one OF SaVah-
nah's leading citizens. Mrs. Waiter was
twice married When quite young she
married Mr. Roberc Lee Dickson, son
of the brave and gallant Gen. ]. J. Dicki-
son of Florida. Mr.. Dickson lived only
a short time. Many years afterward she
married Mr.. Walter, who died ten years
ago.
Mrs. Walter was an attendant at The
Independent Presby terian Church, and
was known for her consistent religious
life. She was charitable and symparhised
with all kind of charitable work. But It
was in her home life that her virtues
shone forth most conspicuously. There
the nobleness of her nature and the sweet
ness of her disposition revealed them
selves in all of their beauty She made
the children feel that she was their best
friend, and they gladly gave her their
confidence and love.
Mrs Walter was seriously i'll for several
months. She went to the Johns Hopkins
Institute with the hope of receiving re-
lief. From there she went TO Virginia,
but at no time after she left the hospital
did she entertain hope of recovering her
health. She looked forward to death with
the same calm courage which she had
shown throughout her Illness.
She will be missed and mourned by
wide circle of friends for the influence
which she exerted for good will be ielt
long after her death Her remains Will
reach the city on Friday morning. Notice
of the funeral will be given when the ar
rangements for it are completed.

PUT OUT REIsER AGAIN.
This Time He Is equity of the Of
Tense of IRemcio ncy."

The school board of bingham county
makes lis own precedents. II has proved
itself equal to any emergency. Finding its
original verdict in the case Of County
School Commissioner Relser Illegal, as de-
clared by the attorney general, 1t has
adopted a new verdict and once more vot-
ed the commissioner out Of his Office. II
he won't go out and stay out the board
viii probab bly, alter the verdict again TO
suit the views Of the attorney general.
Mr.. Reiser was tried on a charge of i'm
morality. In making up a verdict, after
rather farcical trial, the board failed en-
tirely to find the commissioner guilty Of
any charge, but merely decided to vote
him out of Office" as they put It. AS
might have been expected the attorney
general of the state decided that the YER
dict was ridiculous and directed the state
school commissioner not to remove Mr..
Reiser on it.
When notice Of this reached the board,
instead of preferring new charges and try
ing Mr.. Reiser over again a meeting was
called and without notice to the school
commissioner or any one else to be pres
ent, the board adopted the following:
whereas, on the 22nd day OF Septem-
Der, 1898. the Board Of Education Of Ehing-
ham county did remove D. Z. Reiser, coun-
~ school commissioner. from said office
as county school commissioner without
stating IN the said finding the oifense for
which ne was guilty, now, therefore, we,
the Board of Education OF said bingham
county, do find by reason OF the written
stated charge, and from the evidence aduc-
cd in support thereof, that the said d. +.
Reiser is guilty of the offense Of ineft1cien-
cy. and therefore we do hereby declare him
TO be removed from his said office as
county school commissioner of Effingham
county"
The main charge originally preferred
against The. school commissioner was that
he "fondIed' one or two teachers before
the school children A general charge of
immoral conduct was also preferred
against him. The board Of education has
suddenly discovered, though. that he was
guilty Of the offense of inetficiency' Elk
actly what his "ineniciency" consisted in
is not stated, and the record of the hear
ing throws no light on the revised YER
diet.
Mr.. Relser is sim holding down" his
lob. He will pay no attention to the
latest verdict of the board. Inasmuch as
he handles the school fund himself, the
board Is not in position to hold back his
pay. 1t is not yet known whether the
board will decide to wait for an opinion
from the attorney general as TO the legal
itv of its second verdict, or elect success
sor to Mr.. Reiser and treat the county TO
the spectacle of two men holding one office
at the same time.

NUsBAUM WAS A GAY ONE.
The Plausible MiIwaul<eean Said He
Was Going to wedding.


Max Nusbaum, the smooth-talking Mil
waukeean, with a visionary $4,000 year
to spend, who passed a worthless draft for
$3.50 on Mr. S. L. Gerst a day or two ago
and left town on the proceeds, paid his
respects to number Of other accommodate
ing Sayannahians. Several people are said
to hold checks and drafts for various
amounts bearing the Wisconsin mans
signature.
Nusbaum did not remain here long after
he saw MIR. Gcrst. He was going 10
Charleston, he said, to attend a swell we'd
ding. That was the last seen of him here.
Nusbaums story was that he was re-
tired leather merchant or manufactures of
Milwaukee and that owing to i'll health he
was compelled to retire from active bust
ness.
He had an income of $4,000 a year to
spend he said, and ne intended to put in
the winter in the South. He expected his
horses in a few days, and even went so
far as to invite several ladies whom he
met here to drive with him as soon as his
team arrived. These ladies will hardly
ride behind Mr.. Nusbaum's grays.
The day Nusbaum saw Mr.. Gerst last
he was a little short of money, and Mr..
Gerst helped him out as an accommoda-
ton Just who his other victims are is
not generally known. They are a little
by the plausible Milwaukeean. A promi-
nent banker was said to be one of them,
but he denies IL.
Nusbaum was genteel, even to fastide-
business in his domestic hab-
it's He did not like hotel
life Ele wanted to live with some
private family. where he could have home
comforts A CASTOR street gentleman ac-
commodated him at $40 a week. Nusbaum
said he didn't mind the price so long as
he got what ne wanted and he moved
into the best room in the house at once
with the sang froid of a man who is ac-
customed to the hest there is to be had.
His stay was short. but while enjoying
the hospitality of his generous host he
met a number of people socially and had
he not met Mr. Gerst just as he did he
might have extended his acquaintance
sim further. Mr.. Gerst has hopes of see
ing him again, but under different cir
Gums tances.

statements: This old gentleman knows

Whereas, The correctness of the news

quoted contain insinuations which cannot
be allowed to pass unnoticed.

cation TO DR. LeHardy, calling his atten-
ton TO these statements, and asking n
statement from him in writing, whether
he has been correctly reported. Also as
to what he did say and what he means"

The money order clerk at the postofice

Up to this time there have been but a
limited number of calls from the troops for

It is reasonable TO suppose that at least
20 per cent. will be sent away. Some
will go by registered letters or in express
orders, but to handle even $4,000 of money
