Cudahy Receives Letter Containing Propo-
,ition to Eetray Kidnapers.
A letter has been turned over to
Chief Donahue, of the Omaha police
department, in which an offer is made
to deliver certain information to him
regarding the abduction of young
Cudahy, upon his compliance with
certain conditions.
The chief and Mr.. Cudahy evidently
considered the letter authentic, and Of
enough importance to justify reply,
because the following advertisement
appeared in the columns of local
paper Sunday morning:
"Your request, asked for in letter
mailed at Lincoln on January 4th, to
be answered before January 7th, will
be granted. ''E. A. CUDAHY,

WILL FIGHT SUBSIDY.

House Commission on Railway Mail
Transportation Finishes Report.
A Washington special says: The
joint senate and house commission on
the transportation of the mails by rail-
roads has completed its report and will
submit it to congress.
The commission will make q scath-
ing denunciation of the system OF
subsidies, and this will be fight on
the Southern railway New York-New
Orleans subsidy annuity of $195, 900
for carrying the mails through At
lanta.
The commission has been investi-
eating the subject of transporting the
mails for two years, and it's report is
one of the most important to be sub.
mitted to congress this year. The
commission will declare against the
pneumatic tube system for transfer of
mail in large cities and will fight this
proposition bitterly.
The commission will find that the
charges by the railroads for transport
ing the mails are excessive and should
be reduced. This means great fight
in congress to prevent reduction.

WARSRIPS TO VENEZUELA.

A Washington special says: There is
a war cloud hanging over Venezuela,
and the United States is in it. Com
pared with other recent experiences
which this country has had, it is q
very small affair, but it is war cloud
nevertheless.
A few years ago, the announcement
that three American warships had been
sent to q South American port be-
cause of possible clash with that
government would have resulted in
flaming headlines in all the news
papers and in great excitement
throughout the country. Today it is
regarded as trivial episode. There
is, however, some substance to it.
The arrival of the Scorpion at La
Guayra places three warships in that
harbor of Venezuela, and they are
there to back up United States Minis.

prevent President Castro carrying out
his intention to convey certain prop

TECH STUDENTS PUNISHED.
rlutinous Conduct Results In Their
Suspension BY the
Faculty..

The faculty of tho Georgia Techno
logical school atAtlanta met Friday
afternoon to take cognizance OF the
organized disobedience of the seniors
in entering into compact not to re-
turn to school on December 3lst.
The entire faculty was present, and
one by one the. eighteen seniors were
brought before their preceptors to un-
dergo a searching examination. The
men confessed without hesitation to
having signed the agreement to stay
away in violation OF the rules of the
school until January I'd. They offered
no excuse for their action except an
occasional murmur against the decis-
ion of the faculty that the men should
return to duty on December 31st.
After listening y the statements OF
the seniors, the faculty took but a
very few minutes to arrive at decis-
ion, and under their action the follow
ing textile students are suspended
from the institution until March 30th,
while their diplomas are withheld un-
til December 81, 1901:
L. c.. Swords, Madison; E. w.
Camp. Moreland; Wade Langston, At
lanta; L. F. Brown, Atlanta; A. 8.
Mead, Decatur; W. D. Hughes, Twiggs
county.
The only remaining student in the
textile department of the senior class
is J. G. Johnson, SOD of Colonel Lind
say johnson, of Rome, Ga. Young
johnson escaped the heavy punish
ment inflicted on his classmates on
the ground that he did not take part
in the former mutiny in which the
textile students were engaged.
The remaining students Of the senior
class are suspended until the first
Saturday in February, while their de-
grees will be withheld until the first
Saturday in November. The men who
undergo this punishment are as fol-
lows: W. P. Sullivan, Savannah; j.
F. Towers, Rome; B. W. Holtzclaw,
Perry; Waterman, Macon; W. j.
Holman, Fayetteville, Tenn. w. New
some, LAGRANGE; D. o. Dougherty,
Atlanta; J. W. Moore, Hapeville;
George Merritt, Macon; L. P. Benjs-
min, Atlanta; E. Gay, Atlanta.
Under the wholesale punishment
inflicted on the senior class by the
faculty of the chronological school it
is probable that no effort to hold
commencement this year will be at
tempted, for of the eighteen men who
would have graduated in June not one
will be entitled to a diploma before
the first Saturday of next Novvmber.

MUST FIGHT FOR FORTUNE.


tested In the Courts.
At Nashville, Tenn, Thursday, after
the probating of the will of Millionaire
Samuel Murphy, his widow, Anna q.
Murphy, appeared in court and adopt
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas J. Folder,
thus making them the heirs of the
millions that were left to the widow.
The late DR.. John A. Murphy, Of
Cincinnati, was a brother of Samuel
Murphy, who also formerly resided
here. The widow of DR.. John A.
Murphy still resides here, and it was
expected that her two daughters would
become the heirs of Samuel Murphy.
These Dieces are Mrs. Edwin Gardner,
Jr., of Nashville. and Mrs. John Kill
breth, Jr., of New York, and it is
claimed that they had been told by
their uncle, Samuel Murphy, that they
would become his heirs after the death
of his widow.
It is charged now that Samuel Muir
ply made a different will just before
he died, and that Mr.. and Mrs. Fielder
were adopted week after his death
while Fielder was made co-executor Of
the will without bond. In the petit
ton to adopt Mr.. and Mrs. Folder,
the widow is said to have stated in
court at Nashville that Samuel Murphy
during his life gave his brother, DR..
John A. Murphy, of Cincinnati, over
$500,000.
Mrs. John A. Murphy. in published
interviews, states that the amount was
less than 100000, and mostly in real
estate, which has since greatly depre'
ciated. She and her daughter has re-
tanned eminent counsel at Cincinnati
to contest the will and the adoption of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fielder and other coun-
sci will be retained at Nashville for the
litigation.
