THAT BANK ROBBERY.
Much Excitement I'm Lima Over the
Theories Advanced.


Lima. O., Dec. 3O.-Great Indignation
exists here over the investigation OF
the robbery on Christmas night OF the
American national bank. Detectives
have been set at work on the theory
that the robbery was by those having
knowledge of the combinations and
that the time lock was left unset, ac-
cidentallv or otherwise. Vice Presi-
dent Michael has heretofore eXoner-
ated those connected with the bank.
Cashier Kalb says he has labored for
years to bui,d up the bank and holds
SIS. 900 of stock. While the solidity
of the bank is not affected by the
robbery of over $4,000, yet the stock
is affected and some who are now be-
ing accused in some quarters are the
heaviest losers. There is nluch agita
ton and excitement over the theories
advanced by detectives.
While expressing the fullest conf
dence in their officers, yet it was
deemed best with the feeling run
ming high to reorganize the Ameri-
can national bank. The directors ac-
cordingly last night accepted the res
ignations of President Goldsmith,
Vice President Michael and Cashier
Kalb and elected in their stead the
followin9: President, Theodore
Mayo; vice president, r. w. Thrift;
cashier. T. \. Holland. The directors
also charged up the loss of the $4,000
robbery to the capital stock and or
dered an assessment of 15 per cent.

Opposed to Expansion.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 30.-United
States Senator White left yesterday
for Washington. In an interview with
reporter regarding the Philippine
question he said: Il am utterly OPP
posed to the acquisition of distant and
barbaric lands. 1t appears to me fool
ish to embark on a line of policy
which we heretofore have never done.
1t is my honest conviction that the
carrying out of the expansion ques-
ton will prove disastrous to the re-
public. The result may be postponed
for years but it will be reached if we

They DO Not Like Promotion of
Firemen TO Fill Vacancies.
New York, April 23.-The Brotherhood of
Locomotive ENGINEERS held a meeting this
afternoon. which was attended by about
1000 members of the Brotherhood, incIud-
representatives from the New York Cen
trail. Lake Shore, Lackawanna, Jersey
Central, Boston and Albany Pennsylva-
mia, Baltimore and Ohio and the various
elevated lines.
A meeting was held behind closed doors,
and was for the purpose of dealing with a
grievance the brotherhood says it has
against the companies. In a statement
given QUO after the meeting il was ex-
planned kat the railroad companies all
over the country have developed a practice
of fillirg any vacancies in the engineering
force by promoting firemen, instead Of
hiring engineers who are out of employ
ment.
The principal speaker this afternoon was
P. M. Arthur, grand chief of the brother
hood, who advised thoughtful considera-
ton OF the question before any action
should be taken.
1t was finally decided that the question of
limiting the promotions of firemen be re-
ferred to the boards of adjustment Of the
various systems.
The next union meeting will take place
at Cape Charles, Va, on the first Sunday
in May.

TIMELY WORDS OF ADVICE.

have a number of lots on Ninth street
for sale. which I can sell az prices and
on terms which place them within the
reach OF those who have a small amount
Of cash or a. steady income from their
business, salary or wages. The steady rise
in real estate heretofore In the market al
most puts home beyond the means OF
those who are just starting out TO make
such an investment The lots I offer are
accessible by the Abercorn and Haber-
sham street cars, or by way of East Broad
street, Estin avenue and Waters road.
They are virtually as near the center Of
the city to-day as were lots on Gwinnett
street fifteen years ago. The growth OF
the city is toward this property, and
wei built up nelghborhood is rapidly NOV
ing that way. These lots on Ninth street
have the same future as those that 1 sold
elsewhere few years ago at the same
prices and which are now selling for $1,000

tracts of land near the city, but the own

ed into lots, and 1 have already sold

Is NOT A BOULDER.
Memorial Cannot BE
Chased as such.


The designation Of the memorial which
is to be formally dedicated in Wright
square to the memory of Tomochichi' as
a boulder" has caused considerable dis
cussion. Technically speaking, the stone
is not a boulder According to WEBSTER
a boulder, or 5oWlder, is large pebOle
or a stone which has been worn smooth
by the action of water. Geo.og'cally
speaking, IL is a mass OF any rock Whether
rounded or not which has been trans
ported by natural agencies from Its ma
tive bed
II is evident that the large stone now
resting in Wright square does not come
within these definitions. 1t is irag-
ment of granite torn from its resting
place of centuries ia the heart OF stone
mountain and transported TO this place
by the power of steam, the agencies which
has revoutonized the world during the
nineteenth century, and which was en-
tirely unknown in the days when Ogle-
thorpe and TomOchichi smoked their pipes
together In the infant settlement of Sa-
Vannah.
The use Of the word boulder in describing
the memorial cannot in any wise be charg-
ed to ignorance upon the part of those
who have undertaken to pay proper trib-
ute TO the friend of Oglethorpe. When
the ladies who compose the Georgia So
ciety of Colonial DANES had arrived at
the conclusion that one of their first acts
should be to mark the resting place OF
the Indian who was truly noble in his
friendship for the white man, the sug-
gestion was made that the most striking
monument and the one which would be
most appropriate would be a boulder of
rock as typlfyng the strong and rugged
character of the Indian chieftain and sig
nificant of the scenes among which he
lived.
Boulders are plentiful in Georgia, but
not in the neighborhood of the sea coast,
and as the society was not possessed of
any great amount of funds, the prospect
of carrying out this project at an early
date was not very bright one. 1t was
at this juncture that Mr.. Nenable of At
lanta learning of the desire of the ladies'
volunteered to furnish the society with Il
granite block or boulder suitable for the
purpose from his large granite quarries
near Atlanta. The offer was promptly ac-
cepted and the Central Railroad having
agreed to transport the gift free of charge
the ladies' soon saw their way clear to com
plete their first important work. The rock
is now in place, and will be dedicated
Thursday
While the stone Is not technically boul-
der, 1t may be that a rugged fragment of
rock is a more appropriate memorial to
the old chieftain than a genuine boulder
itself would have been.

Baltimore. April 2s.-Negotlatious have
been completed by the Mercantile Trust
and Deposit Company of Baltimore and
the Trust Company of Georgia of Atlanta
for the consolidation of all the street rail
way properties of Atlanta.
The consolidation provides for an au
thorized issue of $5000,0OO fifty-year per
cent. gold bonds. of which $1,000, 900 win be
offered to the public. s. 900 TO be held bv
the trustee against outstanding bonds, and
the remaining $4,000 viii be held for the
purpose of building an electric power ana
lighting plant and for other improvements
and extensions.
The consolidation will largely reduce the
present operating expenses of the several
roads by bringing them under one manage
ment, and will result in greater facilities
to the riding public of Atlanta.
The present earnings of the several prop
critics operated under separate manage
ment show a large surplus over all fixed
charges and taxes of the new company.
