Georgia Alleges Violation OF Law in
Defeating Connection.

ATLANTA, GA, May G.-Governor
Gambler announced to-day that the State
Of Georgia would proceed against the
Central Of Georgia railroad for violation
of the Constitution in defeating compe-
ttion. The suit will be brought in be-
half Of the people of Eatonton who as-
sert that the Central Of Georgia railroad.
In acquiring by purchase the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic road running from
lrvington TO Milledgeyille, has violated
a cardinal principle Of the Constitution.
II IS probable the first step 20 be- taken
by the State will be an application for
an injunction restraining the Central
from operating the line formerly owned
By the Middle Georgia and Atlantic.
Should such an application be granted,
the direction Of the road will be left in
the hands Of the court.

enter the store at time when only one
clerk was at the diamond cOunter-about
80 p. m-and ask to see the diamonds
displayed in tray in the window, then
the accomplice was to throw the con-
tents of bottle of chlOrOform into he
clerks face and Parker would grab the
tray and escape. Parker was arrested at

closet, had heard him discuss his plans
with the man who had told the police.

resisting the United States marshal in

tion of pardon the attorney general says:
1.-THE law has now been vindicated and
the power of the government established
by the stern and severe lesson admnis-
tered. In my judgment no further pun
ishment is necessary to enforce the re-
spect of the Indians for the authority of
the federal court, and | believe that
executive clemency shown at this time
will be beneficial" The president also
pardoned William G. Sorter. now under
going life sentence for the murder Of
Albert Lang in the Indian Territory in
1883. A pardon also has been granted
in the case of Francis f. Brown. con-
victed in Connecticut in 1895 for making

New York, Jan 5,-Judge Newburger
yesterday discharged the bail in the ca Z

w. Field, who has been under six indict-
ments since 1892 for grand larceny. The
bail has been $4,000. Field was mem-
Der of the banking firm of Field, Lind
ley, Wiechers Il Co., which failed for
$3.0O0O0O in 1891. Field was afterward
indicted, but a commission decided that
he was insane. He was sent to an in
stitution in Buffalo. After being there
for two years he was released and locked
up in Ludlow street Jail. He escaped
from that institution. He is said to be
now in a sanitarium on Long Island.
When the firm failed Field was supposed
to have 100000, but no trace of the
money could ever be found. The dis
charge of the bail means the practical
abandonment of the case.
