her little girl, who was with her moth
err at the time, was dangerously ILL.,.
She wanted So to get to Macon. Mr.
Yarhro was little cautious and pro-
posed telegraphing her mother at once.
She very readily assented, giving him
her mothers name as Willis and the
number and street,
Mr.. Yarbro sent the message, but it
came back, as there was no such num-
Der on that street and no such name.
The woman went back to Mrs. James
and very unexpectedly announced her
intentions of leaving Immediately.
They ate in a hurry and before the
supper was over left the house. They
had hardly gone when some one in the
house discovered that several trunks
had been robbed.
Some one went at once to the train,
where they met DR.. Brown, Rev. Var
bro and several officers, all looking for
the same couple.
They did not go by rail, so Messrs.
James and Jordan, thinking they had
taken the boat, went down to the river.
They were not at the wharf, but We're
found Just over the bridge on the Geor-
ola side. The man kept his hand on
his pistol, and Messrs. Jordan and
James we're very careful what they
said.
They asked them to come back to
the boarding house as their sudden
departure had created some suspicion,
They promised to do so, but just as the
two men crossed the bridge a hack
passed rapidly through, stopped, then
went on again. They feel sure the
couple took the hack for Georgetown.
While at the James boarding house
they told different stories. The woman
said she was an actress, while the man
said he was arrested in Birmingham
for murder, but after staying in jail a
while they found he was innocent and
let him 90. He was seen to have a
large roll of money.
He treated the little child very
cruelty.

BRIDEGROOM ARRESTED.
RICH NEW YORKER MAY BE-
COME GEORGIA CONVICT.
Convicted of a Crime Committed
Twelve Years Ago. An In
tenseIy Interesting
Story.

From his home of luxuriance and
ease Charles Echols, wealthy New
Yorker, may have TO go to the Georgia
penitentiary and serve a term as a
felon, unless the state pardon board,
which is now considering his case, in
tervenes. Victim as he may be of
"some strange imperfection in fate, "
the story of Echols is one that for
thrilling dramatic interest is unsur-
passed even in the realms of romance.
Echols has been convicted by jury
in Newton county of completely in one
of the most heinOus crimes that blot
the criminal annals of Georgia. Twelve
years have passed since the perpetra-
ton of the deed and the fact that after
so long a time he finds himself in the
clutches of the law makes one of the
most interesting incidents of the case.
At the time of the crime of which
he has been convicted Echols was Il
young man, living in Covington, with
no particularly bright future before
him, while now he is a trusted official
of the American Biscuit Company, is
living in New York, and has, it is said,
salary of $4,000 year with which
to keep the wolf from the door. He
does not seek pardon, but asks thata
reasonable fine be submitted for the
sentence of five years now hanging
over his head.
Twelve years ago Echols was one of
the most popular and highly esteemed
Young men of Covington. 1t was a
great shock to his friends when cir
cumstances seemed to point TO him as
the perpetrator of one the most horrl-
BILE deeds ever committed in this state.
T. H. Thomas had been found, brain
ed and bleeding, at the point OF death
in a room at the Pitts house at Covlng-
ton. Stamps Cohen was found in the
room very seriously injured. Thomas
soon died. Echols had been seen with
the two men the evening before, and
though the evidence against him was
purely circumstantial, a strong effort
was made to secure his conviction.
The killing of Thomas and the at
tempted murd err of Stamps Cohen, about
daybreak after q card party had brok-
en- up was a story of wide state inter-
est. Echols was charged with the
crimes. On the murder charge he was
ACQUITTED and the other was held over
his head, being continued from term
to term.
After the murder trial Echols went
to New York and rapidly won his way
to a position of trust, which paid him
a good salary. Some months ago he
was made one of the Office managers OF
the American Biscuit Company, and 1t
is said that he has accumulated quite
fortune. Last fall he married and
decided to visit his old home on his
bridal tour. He was arraigned before
Judge Gambler on the old charge of as
saulting Stamps Cohen, and was con-
victed with a recommendation to mer-
CIV, it being the idea oil the jury, It is
said, to reduce the penalty to mlsde-
meanor.
Judge Gambler ignored the recon-
mendation and sentenced him to hive
wears in the penitentiary 1t was to
reduce this to fine that application
has been heard before the pardon
board,

"THE GEOMETRY OF GOD"
Some of the Marvellous Things in
Nature Waves of Light.

Rev. DR.. Hugh Macmillan, in an ar
ticle entitled "The Geometry of God
and published in the Culver, thus illus
trates this interesting subject The
beautiful colors of nature are caused
bv vibrations or waves of light, which
have been counted and are always eX-
actlv the same for the same color. Inc
number of waves required TO proouce
the sensation of red as they break upon
the eve must be 80, 900 in an inch and
447 million in a second. The number
of waves required to produce yelloW
must be "A, 900 in an inch and go mill
lion million in a second. And so with
all the other colors. To enable you to
see a red rose or a red ribbon no less
than 447 million of millions of ether
waves must break upon your eye every
second. The stars, also, are arranged
in the heavens not by chance, but &C
cording to a fixed system. In the solar
system, for example, the intervals pc
tween the orbits of the planets go on
doubling as we recede from the SUM-
Thus Venus is twice as far from Mer-
curry as Mercury is from the sun; the
earth is twice as far from Venus as We
nus is from Mercury; Mars is twice as
far from the earth as it is from venus
and so on. In this way the planets are
arranged in the sky around the sun IN
the same numerical order as the leaves
are arranged around pine cone or
the teeth around the edge OF the seed
vessel of microscopic moss. And that
extraordinary law, the most universal
of all laws, which everything through
out the universe obeys-the law OF
orayitation-is also expressed by a
numerical formula. The force does not
decrease just in proportion as the dis
lance is increased; it decreases accord
ing to the square of the number ex-
pressing the distance; so that at twice
the distance the force of gravitatlon is
not twice less, but four times less; at
thrice the distance, nine times, and SO
on. Thus everything in the universe,
from the smallest moss to the remotesl
star. is constructed and arranged &C.
cording to fixed numbers. There is
nothing left to chance. There is not
an atom but obeys its law, not leai
but appears in its proper place. a
sublime order is present everywhere
proving that the universe is the pro
duet of one infinite mind.
