robberies they committed together. He
| adds that he has seen the woman in a
| room with five or six other persons. and
no one recognized her or suspected her
sex when she was disguised. He SAYS
| that the two have since laid many of
the crimes which they committed at the
door Of himself and his brother. He
adds: While was lying at death s
door those two fiends were busy compos-
ing lies and comparing notes, seeking TO
condemn two men to death, that they
might save themselves from punish
ment that they rightly deserve" In
conclusion Biddle says that he and his

killed by Edward Biddle, stated in an

Biddle did not kill her husband. She

WILL WEIGH FREIGHT.
Railroads Are in a weighing and In
speeding Bureau.

Railroads will weigh and inspect
freight hereafter, instead of accepting
the weights and classification given by
shippers. They have entered into the
Southern Weighing and Inspecting Bu-
reau, which has begun work. 1t is es-
timated that about $2,000,0OO a year VIII
be added to the revenues of the rail-
roads south of the Ohio and the Po-
tomac and east of the Mississippi that
have entered into the arrangement.
II. w. Wolf, formerly claim agent
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.
Louis Railway, is the manager, Win
H. F. Smith traffic manager OF the
same road, the president Mr.. Woon
has established headquarters in Attain
ia. and has about completed the work
of organization.
The bureau will cover large terri
tory and will employ a large force OF
weighmasters, inspectors, auditors ana
clerks. The weighmasters Will be Sc
lected chiefly from men who are per-
forming similar duties at the different
competitive points.
The benefits to be derived from
weighing and inspecting are many
In the South it has been the custom
of the roads to accept the weights anu
classifications given by the shipper IL
is lust as if a merchant were to hand
a customer a package of goods ana tel
him to weigh it after he got home ana
settle for it on that basis. The rail-
WAYS sell transportation, charging for
II according to weight and the charac-
fer of the goods to be shipped. The OLD
practice has been, as stated ABOVE, 10
accept the weights and the description
given by the shipper. Many Shippers
have given the correct weights ana the
proper description. Other shippers nave
felt that they would like to do that
but have thought that some OF their
competitors were reporting weights at
less than they should be and classify
ing the goods at a lower classification
The purposes of the inspection are:
First. The right of the railroads to
the revenues represented by the cor
rected charges as published in the duly
authorized classifications and tarltts:
Second In order to comply with the
law under which those taritfs were
filed and to secure uniformity OF rates.
Third. To protect the more honest
merchant against the shippers using
these Objectionable methods
The general method of inspection will
be to open boxes or packages which are
believed to contain different goods from
the statement of the shipper. After a
little training an inspector can tell
whether or not a package has been
correctly described by looking at it.
Similar bureaus have been in opera
ton in the North and West for num-
Der of years. While the cost of main
tanning them is heavy it has been
found that they make the roads from
IS to $40 for every dollar they cost. A
test was made for ten towns in the
South for one week during the past
April. and the result showed that If
the weighing and inspection could be
continued for the year the
roads would save in those ten towns
alone $750,000.
The Southern roads have been work
ing on this matter for about four
months. They have had committees
look into it thoroughly and now they
are practically all committed TO II.

TO GRAY AND MAROON.
Plant system Yellow Will Probably
lie Changed.

No official action regarding the
change in the Plant System colors has
vet been taken, though it is expected.
General Superintendent w. B. Denham
is away from the city and will not be
back until Sept. 1, but upon his return
he will probably issue directions about
the colors.
1t is desired that the colors be
changed from the old yellow that was
favored by the late Henry B. Plant.
In fact, that color has been practically
abandoned, though there has been no
definite action upon the colors to sup
ersede it. 1t is probable, however,
that gray, with maroon trimmings, will
be adopted. Those colors have already
been tried upon several of the build
Savannah. If they are determined
upon as the company's colors. it. is
probable that all the yellow buildings
will be painted to conform.
The Plant System passenger depart
ment has abandoned the use of yellow
1t is no longer used in advertisements.
The department has not taken up the
gray and maroon, but will do so as
soon as those colors may be definitely
determined upon. 1t is believed that
the proposed colors will endure as well
in this climate as the yellow, which
Mr.. Plant always considered especially
adapted. In Florida and other divisions
of the Plant System than the Charles
ton and Savannah and the Savannah,
Florida and Western, the yellow has
always been very greatly in evidence,
even the passenger cars often being
found that color.

have been extinct for some time, low

The body of the other victim had not

One of the most patnetlc sights on

He had left the home of his fiancee

COURT SUSTAINED Demurrer.
OemIer's Suit Against Bondsmen Out
of Court.

The demurrer in the action of Angus
tus Oemler, George Fender ct al.
against J. F. Sullivan and ]. A. Goette
was sustained by Judge Norwood in
the City Court yesterday and the case
was thrown out of court.
The plaintiffs were suing to recover
$3.50 from the defendants who were
sureties for certain negro oystermen,
who obtained a temporary restraining
order against Mr.. Oemler ct al. The
order granted by Judge Falligant re-
strained the plaintiffs in the present
case from interfering with the negroes,
who were engaged longing oysters. The
oystermen had to file a bond to indem-
Nifty Oemler ct al. from all losses. Os-
borne & Lawrence appeared for the de-
Tense and Mr.. w. w. Gordon, Jr., for
the plaintiffs
