EATMAN TO FACE CREDITORS.
HE MUST ALSO GO BEFORE JURY

Man Was in IL Hurry to Get Away,

Under Arrest.
Albany. Ga. March l6-M. ". Eatman
former lessee and manager of the Albany
Inn, is TO be brought back to this city and
made to stand the consequences of some Of
the various crooked transactions in which
he seems to have been engaged. and which
caused him to hastily depart for parts I'M
known several days ago.
Besides having 10 face a horde of wrathy
creditors Eatman viii, probably, also be
required to stand trial in the courts for
selling liquor without license, and perhaps
on other charges. He had not paid his
state or county license for the hotel bar.
II seems that he had been standing Off
Capt. Hester, the tax collector. ever since
Jan. l. first making him one promise and
then another. once he gave a check TO
the tax collector but this was turned
down by the bank.
Now Eatmsn is to be brought back here
on a warrant charging him with selling
liquor without license The warrant was
issued yesterday, and Sheriff Edwards
soon had Eaiman located and arrested
lie is in St Augustine. Fla. 1t is under
stood requisition papers may have to be
taken out before he can be brought back
but there will probably be no trouble in
this.
Some of Eatmans creditors have found
a quantity of fine wine and liquors that
he had stored away previous 10 selling out
his lease of the Albany Inn. These have
been attached, and will be disposed Of, the
proceeds being applied to some of his
numerous debts.
Since his hasty departure from the city,
many questionable transactions in which
Eatman was involved have been disclosed,
and the business men of Albany are Won
derng how they ever allowed themselves
TO be so completely duped. Eatman will
undoubtedly have a hard road 10 travel
when he is brought back from Florida.

PRIVATE MARKS IN WATCHES.
How Repaircrs Can Tell when
Works Was Cleaned and What
WINS Done

Was Done.
From the New York Tribune.
There was a crowd around the counter
of downtown jeweiry store where watches
are received for repairs. woman who
was evidently in a hurry made her way to
the place where The man with The magni-
tying glass stood. and handed little watch
to him.
"Wil you please tell me what ails this
watch?" she asked
The watch doctor opened the case de-
laboratory, peered into the works and said:
1T needs cleaning"
MY! that seems strange" said the wo-
man, you cleaned it only few months
ago"
us that SOP" asked the man. and opened
the case once more and made another ex-
animation with the aid of miniature mi
croscope. Then he handed the watch back
and said we cleaned this watch in De-
cember, 1896, and it has not been in our
hands since that time"
is that so? | must be mistaken, but
how do you know when it was cleaned
laat2"
The man explained that it was no trick
of memory. but simply the result of sys-
TEN. Whenever a watch is brought 10
us. he said, TO be cleaned, regulated. re-
paired or fixed up We put a tag on it
which is numbered TO correspond with a
number in our work book In the book we
record the style and make of the watch
the owner, what repairs are to be made
and the amount charged for the work and
when the workman finishes the job he
puts the same number in microscopic fig
ures on the edge of the inner case. A let
ter or sign also shows what has been done
TO the watch. SO you see, when a Natcn
comes here, we look for a mark of that
kind and when we find il We refer to the
book and there YOU are"
The woman left the watch with the man
of system, and when she had gone he
said: That happens many times every
day. We have the most fun with the peo-
pie who say: You guaranteed this watch
for year when you repaired It, and here
it is out Of order again The glass usu-
ally reveals the fact that the watch was
due to break months, and sometimes,
years ago"
All watchmekers keep records and mark
the watches which are placed with them
for repairs, but no two have the same
system. Some makers mark the watch
with the name of the workman, and a
record number after it; some mark the
date and the workman's initial on the
case, and others have signs in conjunc-
ton with these designations to show just
what work has been done on the time
piece.
This system of marking and recording
watches is of much service TO the police
also, and lost and stolen watches are
identified daily by means OF the watch
makers private marks.

farm life, "shore Acres" continues to bask
iE the smiles of public favor, and it's eighth
consecutive season promises to be fully as
profitable as any of the preceding ones
have been. In speaking of this famous
play, an eminent clergyman in the city of
Chicago said: 1.-The moonlight streaming

honored by a bneater party of clergymen,
the first of its kind that ever attended "a
play in this or any other country. Mr..
Herne has also been honored in receiving
invitations to speak OF the theater in many
churches throughout the country, and
whenever possible they have been accepted.
Nevertheless, Shore Acres is anything

Senator Morgan.
What about Clay Reynolds?" asked Mr..
Morgan
Continuing the governor said that he had
never been a candidate for but one office UNI
til he announced last week for the senate.
The senator had always been for him until
he got in his way.
Said he did not intend to bring reproach
upon the senator in his state paper.
"You did it anyhow" replied the senator.
The governor asked the senator If he was
creature of the legislature"
mo, sir" replied the senator, "but of the
constitution"
well, you will wish you were at the next
session of the legislature" replied The gov
ernor He said that the senator had gone
out of his way to make a number of little
filings at him which would be unworthy the
dignity of a candidate for the legislature;
said that the senator said he would have
to begin at the bottom of the committees;
thought it a good time for the people to al
low him to make the start.
The crowd was largely for Morgan at this
debate as shown by the hearty and contin-
ued applause he received from the beginning
to the end of his speech.
When his time was out he said he was
never so pressed for time in his life and
that he was too long winded.
