The Stolen Express Money.

This Gainesville (Ga) Cracker say 8
"There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of many Gainesville people that
that So, 700 received by the agent of
the Southern Express Company in
Atlanta a day or two ago is the sam e
money that was stolen from the COM
pany at Social Circle last spring, the
story of which was fully told in the
daily press at the time, The amount
stolen was $4,000. Of this amount
about $500 was in checks, the remand
er being in cash. This tallies exactly
with the amount received by the COM
pany, through the mail in Atlanta. 1t
is known that the officers of the ex-
press company have been hard at work
on the robbery since it occurred, and
it is generally believed that they were
on such hot trail that the person
who stole the money was frightened so
badly that he promptly sent it to the
company thinking he might thereby
save himself"

Georgia's Peach product.

\ In the opinion of Mr.. James r. Cox
OF Atlanta, fruit raising will become
the principal industry in Georgia
"The Georgia peach belt" says Mr.
Cox, 'begins about 40 miles below
Atlanta. at Griffin. It is $50 miles lorg
and from 10 to 30 miles wide. There
are, of course, extensive orchards out,
side of this belt, but it embraces all
the mammoth plantations. There are
about 100000 peach trees in the
Georgia belt now bearing fruit, and
about 100000 young trees are planted
every pear. Although several millions
of dollars have been invested the in
dustry is yet in its earliest stages.
However, it has wrought wonderful
changes in the State. 1t has increased
the value of old and wornout cotton
fields from $5 to $25 per acre. 1t has
brought an imm ense amount of capital
into the State, for some of the largest
and most successful growers are North
ern men. 1t has developed enterprises
of various kinds, such as canneries
cider mills, ice plants and crate and
basket factories. 1t gives employment
to Thousands of men, women and child
rem, and finally the business of fruit
culture has opened a field for indus
trial development that must inevitably
grow greater as the years roll by"
But there is no narrow limitation to
our fruit growing area. In North
Georgia there are as fine peaches as in
the southern part of the State, and
from east to west they thrive.

A Proposed Railroad.

The Raleigh IN, c. Visitor says
ut is learned that parties are now
trying to mature plans for building a
railroad from Elizabeth City to Suf-
folk, Va. The plans have not been
matured, b ut it is probable that either
the Seaboard Air Line or the Southern
Railway may become interested in this
line. The gentlemen who are now
anxious to have this line built claim
that it will be good investment.
eff the Southern should take hold of
the matter it would give. them line
from the West into Northeastern
Carolina. The coal. fish and lumber
trade. which, it is claimed, would pass
over this road, would be great. The
people of that section claim now that
they have no paying market for their
fish, often because the Northern mar
kets are abundantly supplied, while
if they had this line to Suffolk, giving
them quick route West. they could
dispose of the output of their fisheries,
game, produce and lumber in the in
terror. The assertion is also made that
this road would have the coal trade to
that section from the West. The dis
tance from Elizabeth City to Suffolk is
but forty five miles. There is lumb-
er road which runs ali but fifteen miles
between these two places, hence the
cost will not be great. The distance
from Elizabeth City to Raleigh by Suf-
folk would be about fifty miles shorter
than it is by Portsmouth"

GEORGE STARK MILLER DEAD
Body Will Be Taken to Chicago For
Burial Today

George Stark Miller died Wednesday,
August Is. at 2 o'clock p. m, at the homo
of his sister. Mrs. Martha Brooks, 1880
North Topeka avenue.
Mr.. Miller was born in New York City
At years ago. the 9th instant. His father
had been book-binder for thirty years in
that city, but early in the SOS moved to
Illinois, and from there to Missouri, where
the deceased was educated and grew up
to manhood. In 1880 he located in Lead
vile, Colo, and in 1886 came to lnfs city
and engaged in the real estate business,
the firm name being Miller Sc Shepard.
with Offices on Oak street. Later, the
firm name was Miller & Wright, with Of
fees on North Market street
In 1894 he returned to Leadville and en-
gagged in business. About three weeks ago
he sold out his interests there and re-
turned to this city.
Mr.. Miller was never married. He was
true exponent Of the saying that IAN hon.
est man is the noblest work of Cod
In all his relationship with his fellow
man he performed every duty and lived
up to the highest and best standard Of
citizenship, and while 1t is not known
that he ever joined any church organiza-
ton, yet his whole life lay close to the
divine injunction: Thou shalt love thy
God with all thy heart and thy neighbor
as myself He will long be remembered
in this city as a model, quiet, dignifed
gentleman.
This morning as the church bells call
saint and sinner alike to the various
places of worship in this city the train
will bear his remains from these familiar
scenes TO their final resting place in Rose
Hill cemetery, Chicago.

While the Missouri Pacific yard switch
enigma with orders for Conductor John
Veigle to take charge, and an extra brake
man, were chasing after with as much
speed as the 'sawed-off' could work up
1t was all over nobody knows what,
but when Superintendent Webb gets the
straight OF the matter it will probably
not be necessary for a railroad man or
two TO ask, Where are We att" There
was some trouble between Conductor De-
frartz and Brakeman Lynch at about the
time their train was due TO leave The
train was already made up, but one or
the other complained of some irregularity
in the way it was done Some particular
car was out Of its place. However that
was, Defrantz ordered Lynch to the for
ward part Of the train. Whether Lynch
took exception to the manner in which
the order was given or whether he wanted
to settle up some old score is not known,
for he was the forward brakeman and
belonged next to the engine. He objected
to some phase of the matter at any rate
and struck the conductor, first with his
fists and then, it is said, with chair.
When he was through he stepped to where
he could see the engineer, who was wait
ing for signals, and gave him the high
ball, and away went went the train. Con-
ductor Defrantz was too badly used up
to do anything, SO he gave it up. The
other brakeman notified the trainmaster.
By this time Lynch and his free-hand |
train was away up the line and steaming |
for Hutchinson at full pressure The |
ordered out the switch engine |
for chase and sent word to Conductor |
John Veigle to get on and overtake the |
freight. But the switch engine probably |
never would have overtaken the train had |
1t not had to stop on a sidetrack at Maize !
to let the passenger by.
Veigle took charge of the train and ran
it out the line with Mr.. Lynch and an
extra brakeman. A hearing win be had
by the company and somebody will prob
ably be dismissed
