WORKED A NEW SCHEME.
Slick swindIer Had His "Bonds"
Placed in the Hotel Safe.

The latest scheme for beating hotel
bill developed in Savannah yesterday. It
does not resemble the old trick of trunk
full Of brickbats and other tricks of the
hotel beat. II is up-to-date.
Mr.. Charles F. Graham of the Pulaski
is the sufferer, but the scheme is so novel
that Mr.. Graham does not mind the loss
Several days ago a stranger registered at
the Pulaski as Charles Monroe. He only
had small hand grip. but he at once
established himself in the confidence or
the clerk by handing over a large yellow
envelope, bearing in one corner the stamp
OF a well known Savannah broker. In the
lower left hand corner was written the
words Bonds and Securities" The en-
veiope was addressed IN the same handwTtt-
ing to Mr.. Charles Monroe"
The stranger stated that this envelope
contained valuable papers and requested
that II be placed IN a secure place In the
safe, which was done. Mr.. Monroe. as he
called himself remained in the city four
or five days, making his chief haQgout
at one of the bicycle shops, where he rent
ed bicycles daily. He ingratated himself
with the bicycle dealer by exhibiting a
check or draft for S45 on Mr.. Isaac G.
Haas, the broker whose name was upon
the envelope entrusted 70 the clerk Of the
Pulaski.
day or two ago the stranger took out
one of the best bicycles in the shop and
failed TO return IT, The dealer called at
the Pulaski to make inquiries. As Mr..
Monroe had not put in an appearance at
the hotel that day, Mr. Graham decided
to investigate the envelope. 1t was heav-
lily sealed with sealing wax. Opening the
envelope Mr.. Graham found inside an en-

AT OUTS OVER PROPERTY.
Mother and Daughter Disagree
About Teymac Estate,

hOthSE ahu DauShter Disagree
About Teynac Estate.
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill rendered his
decision yesterday in the matter of the
complaint of Mrs. Annie L. Gould that her
mother, Mrs. Ellen Teynac is misman-
aging the estate Of her deceased husband
the late John F. Teynac. The property
was left to Mrs. Teynac for life with re-
mainder interest to the daughter. Jude-
ing from the papers filed in the case the
best of feeling does not exist between
mother and daughter. Mrs Gould charg-
ed in her petition TO the court that her
mother was mismanaging the estate. In
an amendment to the petition filed later
she makes more specific charges. The
amendment states that John p Tevnac
sold IL 3S-1O0 acres of land TO the 0gIe1
thorpe Real Estate Company for $40 OOo
OF which $l0,o00 was in cash and the bal
ance was payable In FIVE years. This VAS
in January, 1888. The amendment states
that of this $4,000 cash no record what
ever has been made by the executrix
Ihat since the mortgage was executed the
executrix has collected $l3 900, but that
she returns for state and county taxes
only two blocks of land, known az tha
Teynac reservation, which was nor ga
to the real estate company.

alleging that no specifications had hean
made Judge Ferrill's decision upholds the
demurrer, but allows the amendment Of
the petitioner and the filing of such further
amendment as may be desired specifying
charges. The decision requires Mrs. Tey-
mac to render an accounting of her doings
as executrix by May 15 1899
1t was a $1,000 check from the Oglethorpe
Real Estate Company to Mrs. Teynac
which George w, Haupt was charged with
altering and converting TO his own use, on
which charge he was recently convicted of

MRS. CUNT GRANTED DIVORCE,
Given 81 First Verdict Against Her
Husband, Albert Quint.


Nearly the entire day in the Superior
Court yesterday was occupied in the hear
ing of the divorce suit of Maggie Quint
against Albert Quint. Both parties are
we'll known in. the city and the case has
attracted some attention. Mr.. Quint was
a well-to-do grocer until he fell into dis
sipated ways about two years ago en- ae-
count of which his wife left him.
Mrs Quint alleges as the grounds
for divorce that her husband
had become an habitual drunk
ard and that he had i'll treated her
and abused her before the family and be-
fore other persons. She asked for the Gus
tody of her two children.
Mr.. Qulnt, In his answer to his wife's
suit, acknowledged that during six months
Of 1897 he had been given to the use of
intoxIcents and had given ground of COM
plant to that extent. So far from i'll treat
ing or abusing his wife, however, he
claimed that the shoe was on the other
foot, and that ii was the constant abuse
of his wife that drove him to further dis
sipation. He had not failed to provide for
her and their children, he said, and to
make such provision certain he had turned
over to his wife all Of his property with
the exception OF lie insurance policy
which is unassignable. He alleged 1t to
be his belief that his wife pursued the
course which she did in order to drive him
into further dissipation and thus obtain
grounds for separation and divorce and Sc
cure to herself the undisputed use and
enjoyment Of the property which he had
turned over to her, as to the value of
about $4,000, representing the earnings of
his entire life He stated that he had not
INDUCED in intoxicants for over two years
and expressed a desire to have his wife
return to him.
number OF witnesses were heard and
the marital troubles of the Quints were
pretty well aired. The preponderance of
evidence seemed to be with the plaintiff.
as was also the judges charge. The jury
brought in verdict of total divorce. after
being out about twenty minutes. This Is
a first verdict and the case will doubtless
be brought up again at the next term of
the court, when the question of the prop
erty involved is likely to cut considera bic
figure. Mrs Qhint was represented by
Mr.. s. L. Lazaron and Mr.. Quint by Mr..

THEY KICK ABOUT THE CUT.
Enlisted Men Believe They Have
Been UnjustIY Dealt with.

Ueen DeulN W I'm.
Enlisted men in the volunteer service
were kicking long and loud yesterday on
reading the news announced OF the cut in
their pay. 1t had not occurred to them
that the return of the United States 60
peaceful relations with Spain would mean
that they would get paid ON the scale
that prevails for the regular army when
there is no war on, and their calculations
were knocked in the head, and their hopes
OF getting enough to get them home com
fortably and make the purchase of mer-
chandise needed we're blasted.
All the men agree that it is a shame
that they cannot get the pay that was
given other regiments that have been mus
tered out of the service. They cannot SEQ
chat the mere fact of an interval of a few
DAYS having elapsed should make such a
great difference in the pay other regi-
ments received and the paltry sums that
will be handed over to them by the pay
masters.
The members of the New York regiment

rowest margin of any of the commands

Direct tor Gadsden Says Last Company
10 Lay Conduits Must Go Under

Director Gadsen has found it necessary
to make a ruling in regard TO laying con-
duits, owing to the frequent clashes which
have recently been made by the Brush
Electric Light and the Georgia Telephone
Companies in their underground work
The companies came together again yes
terday at Bay and Abercorn streets, and
the director was again called out to settle
the points at issue.
Hereafter the company that gets the
last permit will have to so under the con-
duit of the company that gets the first per-
nit. There has been a race between the
companies TO reach cross streets first as
il is considerably less costly to them,
since the conduits do not have to go half
the depth of those that are afterwards
laid.
Both companies are pushing their opera
tions, and there is little doubt but they
will finish the work before the time the
anti-digging ordinance goes into effect. The
Georgia telephone people expect to finish
work on Whitaker street to-day.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-10-12

Hon. James Harlan died at his home
at Mt. Pleasant last Friday. He was
generally regarded as Iowa's Grand
Old Man. He was the states first
superintendent of public instruction,
was United States senator during the
war and after, was chosen by Lincoln
and served with Johnson as secretary
of the interior, and served as president
of the Geneva board of arbitration.
He was n splendid type of manhood
mentally, morally and physically. He
fully measured mp with the greatest
public men Iowa has produced, and
was truly national in his influence and
reputation. His debate with Charles
Sumner in which he defended Presi-
dent Grant marked him as heroic
national character. He was man OF
exhalted and pure purpose and of con-
sistent principles. Iowa has been
honored by his life and he has exerted
an influence for good on his country by
his example and his labors.
