his election he had loaned him $3.50.
but took no note for the same.
The witness denied that he had ever
told w. s. Leake that what pecuniary
assistance he had given to Wright was
given with the understanding that ne
should support Grant for Senator.
The witness said the money expended
by him had been forwarded by Mr..
Grant as an election fund, and had been
received from time to time. He said
Wright had never reported to him his
methods of disposing Of campaign mon
ey. He said his object was to secure
the election of a Republican Leg1sla-
ture, and as Mr.. Grants manager, was
acting to that end.
In answer to questions by members
of the committee, Green said he had
contributed to the Berkeley fund be-
fore Wright's nomination = that the
money had been paid before the pri-
maries were held. He said he was q
friend to Wright, and had advanced
nothing to his Republican opponent
(Pringle), who was looking out for the
nomination.

APleasant, Simple, but Safe and E6ect-
ual Cure for It.
+ Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable-
The usual symptoms are q full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and q general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show q Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obstin-
ate trouble is found in q treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal tablet, composed of
Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin, q little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 271O Dearborn
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med

THREE BALLoTs-No CHOICE.
Yesterdays Joint Session Failed to

Yesterdays Joint Session Failed to
Elect Senator.
The three ballots taken for United
States Senator by the joint session OF
the Legislature yesterday were ex-
tremely formal affairs. 1t was under
stood before the trouble began that
there waS not the remoteSt prospect OF
break, and as a consequence interest
Jagged.
The proceedings were synonymous
with those that had gone before; the
roll was called; the minutes of the
previous meeting were read; the Speak
er of the House announced that as
shown by the minutes everybody had
been acquainted with the fact for
twenty three hours-nobody had been
elected the day before, and further an
nounced that such an election was IN
order
But the announcement was not made
by Speaker Wright. He was not in
his usual place, and had not been all
through the morning session of the As
sembly. It was Speaker pro tenn. An
derson who told the old. old story and
thumped the sounding board to en-
phasfze his statement
And the Secretary of the Senate
called the roll of Senators, and the
Chief Clerk of the Assembly called the
roll of Assemblymen, and the Senators
and Assemblymen stolidly voted for the
same candidates they supported at
Mondays session--the same candidates
they had supported since the speeches
were made and the candidates were
named.
There were a few absentees, but in
each case, when the absent one was
supporter of either Grant or Burns,
he had managed to pair with an ad-
herent Of the opposite faction, so that
while Grant and Burns each received
two votes less than usual the ratio
was the same. In the Senate, Cutter,
a Grant man, paired with Leavitt, abb
absent, and in the Assembly Ricard,
Burns man, paired with Raw, Grant
thus preserving the ratio.
The Democrats swung into line for
Senator Stephen M. White and stayed
there. Brooke and Burnett took the
same position they occupied on Mon
day, and cast their ballots in favor OF
Congressman De Vries.
Upon the conclusion of the third
ballot for the day-the nineteenth for
the session-a motion to adjourn until
noon to-day was carried by a vote OF
GA to A.
The total vote on the third and last
of yesterdays ballot follows:

have a number Of lots on Ninth
street for sale. which I can sell at prices
and on terms which place them within the
reach of those who have 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 a 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, EsuH 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 towards this property, and a
wen built up neighborhood is rapidly NOV
ing that way These lots on Ninth street
have the same future as those that I sold
elsewhere a few years ago at the same
prices and which are now selling for $1,000
to 5000. OF course, there are still other
tracts of land near the city, but the own
ers are not offering them for sale; some
because they don't like the idea of ped
ding out lots, and are holding to get big
prices for the whole business; others be
cause they can't afford to sell lots a reas-
enable prices, because the land cost them
too much money. The property 1 am Of
fering has streets through 1t and is Ovid
ed into lots and I have already sold
twenty of them. But l want to sell all on

nearer they are to town the more 1 want
for them and vice versa. shall have some
thing more to say some other day about
these Ninth street lots, but in the mean
time I hope all who are looking out for a
place for home, or to put their savings,
win call on me. If l am busy when you

COL. NAT HAMMOND's DEATH.

President of the state University

Atlanta. April 2O.-The city was shocked
this morning by the announcement of the
death of Hon. y. ]. Hammond.
Col Hammond's illness was not mat
ter Of public information. because his con-
dition was not considered dangerous unth
a few hours before he died, which was
about o'clock this morning. Heart fall
ure is given as the cause of death by the
attending physicians.
Col Hammond had been indisposed for
a week or ten days having contracted
cold recently at the delivery of an adj
dress to the graduating class OF the At
lanta College of Physicians and Surgeons,
being president Of the board of trustees Of
that institution. The cold seized him at
a time when his system was much run
down by overwork, and he could not
throw it off Yesterday afternoon his
physicians pronounced his condition criu-
cal. and az 10 O'Clock p. m, when DR..
Kendrick left the house for the night he
had little hope of the patients recov-
cry.
The end finally came on with such sud
denness that he expired before the doctor
who had been telephoned for, could reach
his bedside.
Col Hammond was one of the recog-
nized leaders In the legal profession of
the state. as well as a man of affairs.
He represented this district in Congress
three times, and was president of the
board of trustees of the state university.
All the courts adjourned to-day as a mat
ter of respect.
Tomorrow the funeral will take place
from the Hammond residence on Peach
tree street.

GRADING THE NEW ROAD.
Work on Triton, ThOmnsviIIe and
Gulf soon TO Begin.


Triton, Ga, April 2O-The surveying
corps for the Triton. Thomasville and
Gulf Railroad returned yesterday from
tt evansville. They had not completed the
final survey of the line into that city. but
came here to start the force of hands TO
work on the grading. All is nov clear
along the line between the two cities. and
the contractors are ready TO so ahead with
tho grading.
The citizens of Moultrie and Townsville
are enthusiastically at work for The line,
and have given it all the encouragement
and concessions possible. There has been
some opposition in the northeastern part
of Colquitt county, but this has been over
come, and there is now nothing in the
way of the completion OF the line so long
desired by the people of three of the most
prosperous counties in South Georgia
For reasons Of its own, the management
has been silent as to the route it pro-
poses to follow out of Triton, but there is
little or no doubt that il win use the grade
cut by the Macon Construction Company
IN 1894 for a portion, ana probably all OF
the way, to Moultre.

Death of It. j. Willis, Who Was As
sauIted by the SincIairs.

saulfed by the Stnclalrs.
Triton, Ga, April 2O.-Mr. T. ]. Willis,
who was shot by his brothers-in-law. Hen
ry and Ben Sinclair, died last night at II
o'clock, from the effects of his wounds.
His body will be buried at the cemetery
near his home to-day.
The posse that left Triton Monday morn
ing in pursuit of the Sinclair boys, return
ed last night without them. The boys left
here IN wagon. but on arriving at their
fathers, exchanged the wagon for a bug
gy. So close did the posse come to them
late Monday afternoon that they aban-
doned the buggy and took to the woods,
and only the falling of night prevented
their capture. Next morning no trace of
them could be found, nor has any clew
yet been obtained as to their whereabouts.
1t is generally supposed that the boys
will come forward and surrender in a few
days, as they claim that Willis was adj
vancing on the youngest boy with a knife
when the fatal shot was fired aud the
only eyewitness to the killing Is WINS
wife their sister, and it was about Willis
treatment of her that the DISPUTE started
that led TO the tragedy.
The report OF the tragedy, as first sent
by your correspondent, is the correct one,
according to the statements Of both par
ties In his dying statement, Willis sai ID
he had no knife.
