January 20 last. When she left her faith

part of this she expended in purchasing
a ticket for Norfolk or Richmond.
She evidently reached the former city
the following morning, for she sent an
appealing letter from there to her father,
dated January q. begging for forgiveness
and for permission to return to her home.
In response to this she received one dated

INSURANCE MEN DINE.
Employees of the Prudential Attend
an Elaborate Banquet.

Sixty-fve employees of the Prudential
Insurance Company of America, COM
prising the staff of the Washington dis
trict. together with a number of Off
cials from various cities, were the guests
of the company at an elaborate banquet
which took place in the banquet room of
the Hotel Johnson last night For
number of years it has been the custom
OF the Prudential Company to tender their
employees in the various districts an an
nual banquet Those which have taken
place in Washington in previous years
have been great successes, but the affair
last night eclipsed them all. The year
1900 closed the twenty fourth year OF the
Prudential's lie. During that year all
previous records in amount of business
transacted were broken. The Washington
district closed a very successful year.
When the guests arrived at the hotel,
they were greeted in the parlors by
George S. wainwright. the superintendent
of the Washington stan, and in turn intro
duced to Z. II. Elphinstone, OF Newark, n
j., one of the division managers of the
Prudential Company.
In the banquet room the guests were
seated at two long tables. At each plate
was a boutonnjere of carnations and fern,
together with the menu card. At inter
dinieres containing huge bouquets of palms
and roses. In a hallway just outside the
| banquet hall doors was stationed an Or
chestra which discoursed popular music
throughout the evening.
AT the conclusion Of the banquet Mr.
Wainwright arose. and in a brief address
reviewed the work of the past year and
discussed the prospects for the coming
twelvemonth. He thanked the Washing
ton staff for their earnest work on behalf
| OF the company during the single year he
had acted as their superintendent, ard
| also read a number of letters from Off
cals of the Prudential who expressed re-
greet at their inability to attend the ban
quet, and who extended their good wishe S
for a successful year for the Washington
staff
r. II. Elphinstone, manager of Division
X was then introduced. He spoke briefly
OF the great growth OF the Prudential dur
ing the comparatively few years of its ex-
istence.
Among other who were called upon and
responded with brief addresses were John
McKeough. Gilbert Walter. L. f. Miller,
A. w Hindle, A. Clark. and W. w Moor
ing, all of Baltimore; j. w. st. Clair, of
Hagerstown. Md: C. II. Wilcox. H. T.

mortal Services at Atlanta First
Methodist Largely Attended.
Atlanta. Feb. Gov. Gambler to-day
granted a pardon to Alonzo L. Pitts, eX-
member of the Savannah fire department
who has been at the Chattahoochee Brick
Camp under sentence of fifteen years for
voluntary manslaughter, for the killing Of
Adam Thornburg, a River street bar
keeper.
His pardon is directly traceable TO the
fact that, even though he was prisoner
at the brickyard his skill as a fireman
was not forgotten.
The pardon was secured by Chief W. r.
JOINER. of the Atlanta fire department.
In 1896 Pitts was sent up from Savannah
for a term of fifteen years on the charge
of voluntary manslaughter. The case is
familiar history in Chatham county.
When the fire occurred at the works of
the Chattahoochee company, some time
ago. Chief Joyner of the Atlanta fire de-
partment was telephoned for aid. He
went out, but when he arrived he found
Pitts had already organized a squad OF
firemen and was fighting the fire. This
interested Chief Joyner, and he learned
his history For the past year Chief
Joyner has been working on the case. He
has secured petitions for pardon both
from the grand jury that indicted Pitts
and from the citizens of Savannah.
A petition had also been secured from
the Savannah fire department, asking
that Pitts be pardoned, and stating that
they would be glad TO welcome him back
10 the fire department in case he received
his liberty. The petition from the grand
jury arrived this morning, and this after
noon Gov. Gambler informed Chief JOY
ner that Pitts had been pardoned. Chief
Joyner took the pardon, went up to the
convict camp and this afternoon returned
to the city with Pitts. Pitts says he will
go to Savannah at once. Gov. Gambler
declined to pardon him last December,
even on the recommendation of the Par
don Board, and told Chief Joyner he
would have TO strengthen the case. This
seems to have been done.

WILL FIGHT THE TAX,
Packing Houses object to Paying
$500 License.

Atlanta, Feb. 2.-The big packing houses
will fight the collection of the $500 specific
tax imposed by the last Legislature upon
each of their agencies in this state. The
Legislature raised this tax from 500 to
$500. and the packing houses consider this
excessive. 1t was done because their
usual stock on hand represented a very
insignificant proportion of the business
they do during the course of year. They
will pay the tax under a protest in all
the counties but Fulton, and here, in or
der to make a test case, they will ask
for an injunction against the controller
