CHARGES FILED
Against the Board of Directors
Of the Mansfield Re-
fOPmatOry.

Columbus, Jan. Discharges have
been filed against the managers Of the
Mansfield reformatory, of which w. +.
Seton, formerly of Canton, is superin
tendent.
The trouble grows out of the coal con-
tracts and it is claimed the board failed
to advertise for bids for coal for 1899.
When it did advertise for bids, it is
said it accepted a bid that was 25 cents
per ton higher than the lowest one sub
mitted. The charges also state that
slack coal has been delivered at the re-
formatory when run of mine was called
for. Slack can be bought for 80 cents
per ton and the run of mine costs $1.S5
per ton.

BURGLARS SELECT
BROAD DAYLIGHT,
For Robblng Leading Drugstore in
Savannah.
HAD PLENTY on COOL NERVE.
On Principal Street They Burglarize
a Store and Garry Off Money and
Checks to Value of Large Amount.
Escape Arrest

Savannah, Ga, September 16.-In
broad daylight, almost before the very
eyes of two Italian fruit dealers, with
the market policeman just across the
street, and the policeman on the beat
just block away, a daring burglary
was committed Sunday. Solomon &
Co.'S. drugstore, on Congress street,
closed for dinner at O'Clock p. m.
The policeman passed the door at 2:15
p. M. At 2:45 a little girl went there to
get a prescription filed. The door
was found open and the burglary had
been committed. Two men-there
were evidently two of them-had cut a
piece of the glass out of the front door,
reached inside and turned the key, I'M
locking it. They rifed the cash reg
lister, and finding the safe unlocked,
broke out the little inside safe con-
tanning money, checks and drafts. The
men then went out the back way with
their plumber. They got about 1925 IN
cash and several hundred dollars in
checks, payment on which has been
ordered stopped. There is no cIew to
the identity of the burglars.

JOHN P. SHANNON DIED SUNDAY
One of Georgia's Most Eminent Citi-
zens Has Passed Away.

The announcement made from Ell
berton yesterday morning of the death
of Hon. John p. Shannon was a shock
to many in Americas as we'll as to his
friends throughout the entire state.
Few men were more generally known
or more highly esteemed. He stood
very high in Masonic circles, being
past grand master, and at the time of
his death was deputy high priest of
the Grand Chapter of Georgia; supreme
dictator of the Rights of Honor of the
United States, besides being, promi-
nently identified with the Royal Area
mum and knights of Pythias. He was
a genial, generous, whole-souled man,
and his death will be greatly deplored
throughout the state. The immediate
cause of his death was Bright's disease.
The funeral in Elberton will be con-
Quoted with Masonic nonors, the other
orders taking part.

AMERICUS SCHOOLS
OPENED YESTERDAY.
Attendance in All Departments Will
be Large.
NEARLY 800 ARE REGISTERED
White Schools Have Largest Attend
ance in Beginning as Many Colored
Pupils Still Absent. Session Will
be Best in Many Years.

The public schools of Americas were
opened yesterday morning for the fall
term with large attendance of pupils
in every department, and the school
year begins under brightest auspices.
With one exception all of the twenty
five or thirty teachers were in their
places, and as pupils had previously
been assigned to grades and classes
the usual delay attending the opening
of the schools was avoided this time
and all of the 800 pupils put in a good
days work with their books.
Supt. Mathis thinks this session wilt
be one of the most successful since the
establishment of the schools, and
many are there who concur in this
opinion.
When the bell tapped yesterday
morning 500 bright-faced children
marched into Furlow High School and
Rees Park School, though this number
will be increased at least two hundred.
At the last session there were 634
white pupils in the schools here, and
is believed that even this large num-
Der will be increased during the ses-
sion Just entered upon. Several pu"
pills are still away from the city, while
many here did not attend yesterday
but will be in their places this morning.
The number should reach at least
seven hundred this session.
At the Mckay Hill colored school
only 239 pupils reported yesterday,
whereas the enrolment at the last ses-
sion was more than eight hundred.
Many coIored children are away with
their parents, picking cotton, but
enough of them Will come in later to
swell the total far beyond the previ-
Gus record.
This will indeed be a bright and
prosperous Year in the public schools.

EDGAR F. HINTON DIED SUNDAY
After Long Illness He Passed Away
in Macon.

Mr.. Edgar f, Hinton died Sunday
morning at the Macon Hospital, after
an illness of some length. Several
weeks ago, being in i'll health, he left
Americas and went to the home of rel
atiYes in Macon, but afterwards was
carried to the Hospital where the best
attention could be given him. For a
time he appeared to improve, but Sum
day change in his condition came
about and death soon resulted. Mr..
Hinton was we'll known in Americas
and at one time was one of the most
prominent members of the local bar.
He was a son of Reg. J. W, Hinton
and a young man of brilliant attain
ments. A host of friends regret his
untimely death.

OTHER WARRANTS ARE ISSUED
In case of Whitley Grocery Co. Versus
Mr. E. L. Hays.

The case of the Whitley Grocery Go.
versus Mr.. E. l.. HeYs, formerly q
travelling salesman for the house, has
taken another turn since the warrants
sworn out in Webster county were dis
missed by Justice of the Peace Bell,
before whom a commitment trial was
had two or three weeks ago.
The case will be tried both in Sum-
ter and Macon counties next.
Several days ago warrants were is
sued in Macon county against Mr..
Heys upon the allegation that discrep-
ancies occurred in collections made by
the defendant from merchants there.
The case was to have been heard at
Oglethorpe yesterday, but attorneys
for Mr.. Heys forestalled action by go
ing up Sunday night, waving commit
ment trial and giving bond in the sum
of $3.50 for his appearance before the
grand jury. This, it is said, was done
to save time in the hearing of the case
yesterday morning.
Yesterday noon warrant was like
wise issued in this county against Mr..
Heys, who gave bond in the sum of
$500 for his appearance when wanted.
1t is not known whether or not the
case in Webster will be pushed further,
now that warrants in two other coun-
ties have been issued and the charges
are practically the same. Both sides
have retained eminent counsel ana the
case will be fought to finish when
entered upon at later date.
Mr.. Heys gave bond in both in
stances yesterday and resumed his
duties on the road.

BEARS HAVING AN INNING NOW
Slight Decline in Cotton Contracts
Yesterday.

Buyers and sellers were slightly
apart here yesterday as the result of a
decline of ten or fifteen points in the
cotton contract market, though it is
hoped this slight reaction from the
previous "bull" movement is only
temporary. Spot cotton was offered
at 1O3 cts. yesterday but there were
but few sales at this figure. Receipts
promise to be large this week, after
which there will probably be a mate
rial falling off in the number of bales
marketed.

SAVED CASTELLANES CASTLE
Gould Brothers Put up Enough Money to
Pay Main Creditors and Stop Sale.

Paris.-It is now known why the
sale of Castellane's castle was counter
manded. Countess Anna, though fail
ing to sway her brothers, and espe-
cially her sister Helen, and obtain
money for Count Boni, on their last
trip to New York for that purpose
some time ago, decided to make a last
appeal, and her distress was SO pitiful
that Edwin was touched, and he final
ly prevailed upon George. The broth
ers then sent for Count Boni, and after
imposing upon him some rather severe
conditions, put up enough money to
pay the main creditors and stop the
sale.
Some well-informed friends allege
that Boni, when he saw how desirous
the Gould family was to prevent the
scandal of the sale under the hammer,
took advantage of the situation and
refused to accept any help unless all

BOY MURDERER

this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Blakeley for the murder Of his father,
forty-five miles from Milton, Tuesday.
Frank Kelley, the murdered man, was
about SO years old. He and Arthur
had been in the mountains for the past
week, but Arthur returned home
Wednesday, and stated that his father
had left him. Blood was found on
the blankets which the boy brought
back with him, and an investigation
was then made. The boy then said his
father had killed himself with a re-
volver. This afternoon, however, he
confessed to numbering his father by
shooting him with rifle, claiming
that he had abused him and had
threatened to kill him. Deceased

For medicinal purposes it leads all

DECISIONS TO FOREIGN POWERS.
Territorial Grants China Has Mad,
from Time to Time.

Territorial Grants China Has Made
from Time to Time.
Each conflict in which China has en-
gagged has resulted in a loss of terri
tory. The principal cessions made by
the Mongol government as the price Of
peace have been the following. The
island of Formosa was ceded to Japan
in 1895, after the war with China. In
1897 Germany seized the port of Kiou-
Chou on the east coast Of the Shantung
peninsula, her excuse for so doing be-
ing a massacre of missionaries which
had taken place there. Two months
later she received from China a ninety
nine-year lease Of the port and dis
trict. In 1898 Russia obtained from
China a twenty-fve-year lease of Port
Arthur, Talienwan and their adjacent
territories and waters. The lease can
be extended by mutual agreement. The
same year the Chinese government
gave permission for Great Britain to
occupy Wei-Hai-Wei for as long a
period as Russia shall hold Port Ar
thur. To compensate France for the
concessions given to Great Britain and
Russia ninety-nine-year lease was
given her Of the bay Of Kwang- -Chau-
Wan, on the coast opposite the island
of Hainan, and last year two islands at
the entrance Of the bay were definitely
ceded to her. Hong-Kong was ceded
to Great Britain in 1841.
