Anti-Hanna Organization Claim to Have

far as surface appearances indicate,
the anti-Hanna organization strength
ened its lines Tuesday. Though
morning papers carried specials from
Chicago in which Senator Burke was
quoted as saying that he would return
and give the republicans control Of
the senate, he took his seat in that
body when it convened at 10 q. m,

party matter, proving conclusively
that there was perfect understanding
between him and the democratic man.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale is having
q rather unpleasant time Of it these
days owing TO ridiculous report sent
out from Boston to the effect that he
advocated the study Of the Indian
language in the schools. The doctor
writes that all he asked Of the public
school was that New England boys
should "know the meaning Of the
words Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Shawmut, Winnisimet and other words
which come into their local life as one
ought to know why the Tuileries were
so called IL he lived in Paris" The
doctor also denies that he repeated the
Lords prayer In Indian. He used
che two first words Of the prayer to il
lustrate the formation OF Indian words,
and adds: I'm fact, the two first
words Of il are all that / know, ex.
cept the amen at the end" By the
time DR.. Hale's little talk had filtered
through several sources until it
reached the newspapers it had become
a lecture in which the most extraordi.
nary position was taken, which sur.
prised his admirers everywhere.

SLEW WIFE AND DAUGHTER.
After the Tragedy Captain Carter Shoots
Himself.

After the Tragedy Captain Carter Shoots
Himself.
The most horrible and shocking
crime which Greenville, Tenn, has
ever seen was the determination of
the entire family Of Captain A. W.
Carter, an ex-federal officer, Wednes-
day night, the hour not being known.
Captain Carter, while temporarily
insane, Drained his aged wife with an
axe and then with the same weapon
inflicted wounds upon his daughter,
which caused her death later. After
committing this terrible deed, Captain
Carter, with on old revolver, shot him
self.
The only other inmate of the house
was Walter Gass, aged fourteen years.
The boy was asleep up stairs, but
about 3 o'clock Thursday morning was
awakened by groans and upon inves-
tigation found the terrible state of
affairs as above related.
Captain Carters mind has for the
past three years been unbalanced,
caused by the death of a daughter.
He was considered one of the best
citizens Of Greene county.
At the time of his death he was
commander of Burnside post No. s,
q. A. r. He was captain of COM
pany of cavalry in the First Tennessee
volunteers.

A party Of Twiggs county, Ga, gen.
Iemen visited Macon Monday to see
II some means could not be devised by
which Twiggs county could be rid Of
the expense Of Mrs, Mobiles and Gus
Families They stated that the people
OF Twiggs were tired of paying the
board OF these two prisoners after they
had been found guilty by every court
in the land.
These gentlemen said that since
Twiggs had been the scene of so many
criminal trials the tax rate had been
increased to double the former price.
They found that nothing could be done
until Mrs. Mobiles was sentenced again.

OF course there is danger in the
present system of mules. Last night
a switch connecting the rails OF
King and Alakea streets was left
open, and an overcrowded car was
stranded, one OF the mules breaking
loose through the jerk and starting
for some stable-probably not for

fell off in front of the tramcar and
the strange sight Of hay drove the
mules into hysteria, and they ran
away, dragging the car off the
track and only stopping two blocks
away by running into telephone

is no doubt that even on the pres

hundred dollars in the golden coin

The "heathen" was ready with his
scheme, however, and asked his
"aend" whether he could bring some
more stuff on the following evening.
An answer in the affirmative was
given, and the next night witnessed
our Anglo Saxon with large valise
stepping from hack into the store

The "Aends" met and the Anglo
Saxon started to open his valise

There are many and serious OBJ
jsctions to the system suggested by
the "new" promoters, and Mr. Smith
has taken them up in an admirable
manner. The narrow streets where
the rapid" cars are to run will be
useless for ordinary traffic, and the
main streets cannot be touched by
the new corporation as long as the
Hawaiian Tramways Compauy's
franchise is in existence.

The present system is disgrace
to the town, but it should be re-
membered that the present business
has not been very profitable and
tina; there has been very little en-
couragement to make improvements.
Mr.. Paine on behalf of his company
asked the Government a couple Of
years ago for such an extension Of
his charter, as would justify him
in changing the present mode Of
transit. His proposition was abso-
lutely declined, and he was obliged
much against his desire to continue
the present mule business.

 Nearing inc End.
Judge Street Announces inc RuIeS Which Will Apply 10 Disputed Ballots.

The Bark Murray election contest will probably end today. Even if it should not be concluded it will at least have progressed so far that the result may be reasonably clearly foreseen. Nothing remains to do now but count the contested ballots. While there are 437, comparatively few have been challenged (by either side with any hope that the challenge would stick. 1t is doubtful if there will be more than two dozen that will be contested in earnest.
 The count of the uncontested ballots was finished yesterday afternoon. The precincts showed the following figures:

 When the result of Lehi precinct was announced the members of the audi ence looked at each other and ejacu- lated "Crapsi" in concert. Objection was made by the contestant to a large number of the ballots in Lehi precinct on the ground that they bore the names of the precinct officers written in ink. constituting distinguishing marks.
 The clerks have not footed up the count of the uncontested ballots. The footing would indicate nothing and would not even satisfy curiosity.
 At the conclusion of the count Judge Street outlined the proceedings of to- day. He announced three rules he would adopt which really govern all ballots over which there will be an earnest contest. The announcement 
 attorneys might this morning present brief arguments if they wish against the rules.
 In his ruling Judge Street will fol- low very closely the wording of the statute. All ballots bearing distin- gushing marks will be rejected. This will rule out ballots on which names have been erased and which bear marks made by design upon either the face or back. Those on which the cross has been made with blue or a red pencil will not be counted and the court was not even certain that those on which the cross is made with pen and ink would be accepted. The court will rule also that the cross must be made within the square under the wig nette or on the square before the name of the candidate. Or it must be eVi dent that the voter attempted to put the cross in the square. When cross has been made in the square under the vignette and another in the square in front of the name of a candidate in an other column the court will count the vote for the latter. These rules, how ever, in this contest will be applied only to the votes cast for parties to the contest.
