A SENSATION CAUSED
ANOTHER WARRANT FOR W. l. DoDD.
He is Now Accused of Using the United States Mails for Fraud ulent Purposes-The Trial
 of Morgan.

Birmingham, Dec. 19.-(CpeciaD-Quite sensation was created this afternoon when w l.. Dodd, former secretary of the Birmingham Debenture Company, which was absorbed by the Continental funct. was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal White on q warrant sworn out before Commissiorer William Cornish by J. T. Chamblee; charging Statutes of the United States. The aff- davit sets forth that Dodd mailed on March 2S. 1900. to the affiant addressed to his residence in Birmingham. a ceruf- cate. bond or. ticket in the Debenture Company. It Is alleged that the mails were used for fraudulent purposes and the allegation is further set out that the bond, etc, was the same as lottery ticket Dodd made bond at once for his appearance before the United States Commissioner on next Monday morning. The bond was in the sum of $500. His attorneys deny the allegation. They aver that Dodd's connection with the Btr- minRham Debenture Company ceased in August, 1900.
 rests would follow on warrants to be is sued from a United States Court. The holders of certificates in the old Secur- ity Redemption Companies are much wrought up and the prosecution of the officers of the various concerns Is likely to become exceedingly voluminous.
 The preliminary trial of George w:
 
 Security Redemption Company. who was arrested last week on warrants alleging embezzlement of checks and funds, has been commenced before Justice I. H. Ben- ners in this city. The hearing is on the warrant alleging embezZlement of $25,O0O and also embezzlement of a check for $25, 900, sworn out by P. w. Whaley and J. M. Dean. Quite a number of wit nesses were called and the taking of evidence is on. It is believed that the preliminary will last two or three days. Some very interesting testimony is being brought out. Many of the papers in the receiver case of the Continental Security Redemption Company produced in the United States Court were presented in this case and among the witnesses on the stand today was George A. Blinn. Jr.. who was an officer in the Continental Company and against whom there Is a charge also of embezzlement.

Selma Enjoyed Skating.

Yesterday at Mullen's Pond a few Sel-
 mians saw ice skating for the first time in their lives. The pond had frozen over to depth of two or three inches. so Captain Tripp got out his ice skates and enjoyed the sport. He drove out in his buggy, drawn by his shetland pony, and he led his horse and buggy out on the ice good distance from shore. As soon as others who had come from the north heard that the ice was thick enough to skate on they hunted up their skates and went out to enjoy the fun.

MORE RUNORS ABOUT
HOTEL FOR St. SIMON
A LOCAL COMPANY, IT IS SAID, WILL BE
ORGANIZED AND WILL ERECT HOTEL
AT THE POPULAR RESORT. PROM
NENT CITIZEN TALKS,

All sorts of rumors onoerni ng III
erection of hotel on st, Simon are
again going the rounds in Brunswick.
Ono rumor has 1t that the Southern
railway will certainly erect a hotel
there before next summer. II is said
shat that company has been negotiat
ing for the property, etc, for some time
that several Of its high officials have
visited Brunswick recently In conneo
tfon with the hoteI, ard several other
Incidents have occurred which would
indicate TINT this big railroad System
is really thinking of erecting a hotel.
Another found rumor has 1t that a
o1mPany of Bruuswiok citizens will be
formed for the purpose of erecting a
hotel A TIMES CALL reporter even
heard yesterday the name Of the gentle
man who is at the head of the move
ment, and went to see him, and VIII en-
asked il there was any sruth in the
rnmor he said
III have heard considerable talk of a
company being organized for that pur
pose, In fact. have talked the matter
over with several prominent oitizens,
and, although nothing definite has
been reached, think such company
will be organised"
The gentleman would not submit to
his name being mentioned in oonnec
tion with the matter, but he is one OF
Brunswick's most popular and enter
prislng citizens, one who always takes
hold to things In the right way, and
we hope that we will be able to anuounos
