after hearing the evidence Of a mum
Der of witnesses, returned true bill
of indictment.
The charge preferred IN th g IndiGt-
ment is embezzlement. The charge
in the original warrant against Ma
bry was larceny after trust. The pun.
ishment for larceny after trust is from
one TO seven years in the penltentiary.
The punishment for embezzIement is
from one to five years.
The case against Mabry will be
called by Judge Sweat at some time
today. 1t will probably be in the
afternoon, as another case on which
the court will start this morning will
probably occupy all the morning ses-
sion.
The defendant, it was made public
yesterday, will plead guilty to the
charge of embezzlement, and his cOun-
sci Will make statement 70 the court
asking mercy for the unfortunate
man.
1t is well known that the sentiment
of the community is such.that 1t would
be very hard and would consume much
time to secure jury for the trial of
the case against Mabry. Hence the
consent of all parties to plea of
guilty.
superintendent Campbell and Route
Agent Lovette, of the Southern Ex-
press company, were IN the city yes
terday, on business connected with
the prosecution of the case. They ap-
peared before the grand jury as wit
nesses.
The indictment charges Mabry with
embezzlement of $4,000, and does not
make any further allegations as to the
amount alleged TO be taken. 1t Is
signed by all the grand jurors who
were present at the time of finding.

GRIGGS AND VOORHEES,.
The One Will Go to the Cabinet the Other
Into the Governors Chair.

Into the Governors Chair.
Trenton, Jan. 1.-THE state legisIa-
ture met here today at noon, and Its
most important business will be the
selection of presiding officer, who
will in turn become the governor of
the state, as Gov. j. W. Griggs is ex-
pected to at once resign in order to &C.
cept the position of attorney general
IN the Mckinley cabinet.
Governor Griggs, when the attOr-
ney generalship was first offered to
him, doubted whether he could, dur
ing his term of office as governor, ac-
cept federal appointment, and he
declined the offer. The decIination
was sent by mail, but it occurred to
him that he should in courtesy talk to
the president. The offer was only
known to President Mckinley, Vice
President Hobart and himself at that
time, but it leaked out, and his friends
urged him, and he was finally per-
susded to accept the distinction.
Senator Voorhees,, of Union, is the
man slated to succeed him, and will
also probably be a candidate for the
full term of three years at the next
fall election. He does not believe his
service as an ad interim governor
would bring bin within the constitu-
tional bar, which forbids the re-elec
tion Of governor. He evidently ex-
poets to appear in the senate cODven-
tion next fall as a candidate for the
full term.

ToOmer Buys a Fine Horse.

The friends of Col. W. M. Toomer,
who, besides being one of the bright
est young lawyers in the state, is a
social fayorite everywhere, were sur
prised to learn yesterday that he had
branched forth in an entirely new
field Of effort, as a purchaser of high
priced horse flesh. Colonel ToOmer
has purchased "ROyal Baron," a
trotter with a record, from j. J. Nc
Donald, of Cuthbert, paying 81 800
cash for the animal. When asked
about the matter yesterday, Colonel
Toomer SAID: 81 was attracted by the
beauty and fine qualities of the horse,
and decided to buy him. He is
superior to any animal in Georgia"
Since the fact of the purchase was
made known, Colonel TOomer has been
deluged with offers of handsome pro-
fits on his Investment.

Havana, Jan. H.-SenOr Caprilles,
former autonomous governor of San
tiago de Cuba, who was to have sailed
yesterday for Spain, postponed his de.
parlure at the last moment. Later to-
day it became known that committee
from Santiago requested General
Blanco to appoint Caprilles as COVER
nor of that province. The request was
granted. Six hundred sick and InYa-
lid soldiers embarked for Spain today.

After the votes were taken both
houses adjourned until tomorrow
at l2:l5 O'Clock, when a joint ballot
will be taken and Hanna formally
elected to represent the state of OhO
in the United States senate.
1t is now believed the bribery
charges against Senator Hanna will
not be pressed, as 1t is believed they
were simply political tricks.
Senator Hanna is receiving the con-
gratulations of his supporters, and the
town is wildly enthusiastic.

Hall or Battle to Be Pitted
Against Dunwody for
AttOrney-General
FLEMING DUBIGNON MAY WAIT.
Claimed That He Would Rather Be Senator
Than Governor, and Will
Bide His Time.

A live political story comes from
Atlanta via the Macon Telegraph. 1t
says:
GA we'll authenticated rumor is in
circulation here today to the effect
that an important move is soon to be
made upon the chess board of state
politics. 1t is this, that Hon. Hewlett
Hall, of Coweta, who has been re-
garded as a candidate for attorney
general to succeed Colonel Terrell,
will not make the race, and that Sem
atOr Charlton Battle, of Muscogee,
will enter the contest for this import
ant office.
"TOO much Fourth district is said to
figure considerably in the reasons
why Mr.. Hall Will not run. While
Senator Battle is also a resident of
this district, he lives at a lower end
of 1T, and not so near Meriwether and
COweta counties by good many
miles.
One of the arguments being used
going to show that Mr.. Hall should
not run is that his candidacy would
seriously injnre his neighbor, Attor-
ney General Terrell, in his candidacy
for governor.
In either event, whether it be Hall,
of COweta, or Battle, of Muscogee,w who
is to be pitted against Senator Dun
wody, of Glynn, quite pretty contest
will occur, and at this stage of the
game would be hard matter to pick
the winner"
Frank Curry, Of Butts county, who
is we'll posted, says:
"L feel satisfied that duBignon will
not run, not because he does not wish
to be governor, or that his chances for
election are not as good as anyone
else, but for the reason that his politi-
cal future could be benefited by keep
ing out of the race. | ain satisfied that
he would like to be governor very
much, and while he would appreciate
that honor, he would rather be sona-
tor and would sacrifice the honor Of
being governor if by so doing it would
increase his chances to become a
United States senator. In other words,
while he has great ambition to be
governor of Georgia, he has greater
ambition to be senator from Georgia,
and expects to be some day.
"Now, my impression is that in
stead of going into the race for gov
ernOr he Will align himself with the
Gambler forces, and L think Clay will
favor his doing this, as Clay knows he
would have a hard time carrying the
North Georgia counties for duBignon
over Allen Gambler, the idol of that
section. This solution of the matter
would get Clay out OF a good deal of
trouble in North Georgia, as it is
well-known fact that Clay would in
duty bound be compelled to support
duBignon in his race for governor,
should he run. Then you see should
Gambler be elected, he and Clay could
put up duBignOn for the senate, and
with him fight Governor Atkinson for
the coveted place. Thisis the way the
situation strikes me, and a combina-
tion of Clay, duBignon and Gambler
would be a strong one"

Here is another strong Instance
of the great mistake in putting In

Thc impression is that the colo

ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.
Predicament of an Ex-Judge of
South Carolina.


Philadelphia, Sept. 21.--Thomas j.
MacKey, who Is said to be an ex-judge
Of the circuit court of South Carolina.
was arrested in this city today on the
charge of bigamy. According to Mac
keys story, he is the victim of perse-
cution. He has nearly reached the
four score mark, and the woman whom
he claims to be his legal wife is but
25 years of age. Her name was Bertha
Porterfield, and until her marriage to
the judge she lived with her parents
who are said to be prominent people
Of Charleston, w. Va.
They were married about a month
ago at the girls home, and from there
went to New York. While in that city
she claims to have learned that her
husband had another wife. He is said
to nave explained that he was mar
ried in 1891. but several months later
his wife told him that she had another
husband, and the judge left her.
He did not see her again. he is said
to have declared. until his visit to
New York, and thereupon learning of
his second marriage, she threatened
him with arrest.
For a time he pacified fears of wife
No. by declaring that he would have
the first marriage annulled, as II had
never been legal. But the status of af-
fairs reached the ears of the girls
parents, and warrant was at once is
sued for Mackey's arrest. He was ar
raigned before Magistrate Jermon late
in the afternoon, but the hearing was
postponed pending further investiga-
tion by the police.

RELIEF OF KLoNDIKERs.
The Wheeling Did Not Find Many
Destitute Miners.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2l.-From Cap
tain Downing of the steam schooner
Excelsior. from Copper river, it is
learned that the United States gun
boat Wheeling did not find many desti-
tute miners at Copper river and Cook )
Inlet.
Commander Sebree of the Wheeling,
it is said, will report to the treasury
department that the number Of men
applying for aid was not sufficient TO
Justify the return Of the gunboat to
Sitka. Accordingly the Wheeling pro.
ceeded to st. Michaels with Governor
Brady as a passenger. 1t is not un-
likely that prospectors may need aid
later in the year. The Wheeling and
Excelsior were at Orea at the time.

Father Malloy ordered the removal

the church property will be fit for use

sudden rush of coal in a gangawy run

TRAIN MEN MAY STRIKE.
Employees of Lines Entering Pitts
burg Troubled-They Want to Be
Put on an Equality with Their
Brethren in Other Parts of the
Couufru


Pittsburg, Sept. 31.-The Post today
says that for some time past reports
that a big railroad strike might be
declared soon have been circulated. but
nothing definite could be learned until
yesterday, when it developed that the
conductors and brakemen of the roads
entering Pittsburg want to be placed
on an equality with their brethren in
other parts of the country. To accom-
plish that object two branches Of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen yes
terday presented to the officials of all
railroads entering this city "A scale of
wages. An answer is requested within
thirty days.
The demand calls for a ten-hour day,
with extra pay for every hours work
beyond that. The rate of wages asked
is as follows: Day conductors. S275:
day brakemen, $3.50: night yard con-
ductors, $3.50; night yard brakemen,
$40 Extra per our: Day conductors.
27R cents; day brakemen, % cents:
night conductors. 20 cents; night brake
men, % cents. The present wages are
based on twelve-hour day. The men
say that the rate asked by them Is paid
in Chicago, Cleveland, Youngstown and
many other western cities.
The district for which the advance is
asked extends east as far as Altoona
and west to Ashtabula. Ninety-nine
per cent. of the conductors and brake
men in this dictrict are members of the
Brotherhood, and they expect the COM
panieS to grant their demand without
a strike being necessary.
