LOOKED FINE FOR A JAILRIRD
Member of Committee Thus Mistaken
by Prisoner.

Former Sheriff J. o. Macarthur does
nor resemble IN the least jailblrd,
but this was the conclusion formed OF
him by prisoner yesterday, though
Macarthur was quick to correct the
error.
As member of committee from
the grand Jury he was looking through
the corridors of the Jail.
Presently the party came to the cell
occupied by Bundrick, the Dooly coun'
ty prisoner charged with the killing
Of Mr.. John S. Shrouder there.
Bundrick complained that his cell
was cold, to which Macarthur replied
that he had stayed in the jail for nine
wears and found the building very
comfortable in every way,
"But did you occupy a cell away! up
here" asked Bundrick.
Macarthur lost no time in informln g
the DooIyite that he occupied the
iail as an officer and not as prisoner,

FIGHT FOR SHERIFF
OF RICHMOND BITTER
o'coNNoR AND CLARK BOTH CON.
FIDENT OF vIcToRY-DEEP IN
TEREsT IN OUTCOME.

AUGUSTA, Ca. June Son the eve of
the election tremendous efforts are being
made by the various local candidates to
get each ahead of their opponents. Es-
pecially stirring is the race between Messrs.
OConnor and Clark for sheriff. Both
claim to be confident of election, and the
prospect is. for one of the bitterest fights
at the polls next Thursday for this office
that has ever taken place for county
office.
1t is claimed, and reluctantly. conceded
by Captain O'Connor's friends, that from
the country precincts and the lower wards
Mr.. Clark will come to the Fourth ward
with a majority, variously estimated to be
between 200 and $50 The Fourth and
Fifth wards are former O'Connor strong
holds, and here he hopes to overcome the
adverse majority aud have 1t shifted the
other way, and hence every vote in these
wards will be fought for. Every ward
heller is now employed by one side or the
other, and it is freely stated that there
will be money to pay for votes, as high as
$40 If necessary, to win.
The chief interest in the county centers
in this fight, it being apparently closer
than any other. In the other contested
county offices it is conceded that the
incumbents will be reelected.

KILLED OLD GRAY GOOSE
AND WAS AFTERWARDS FINED

The old gray goose at Grant Park is
dead She was run over Sunday after
noon by a young man. who was arraigned
before Recorder Broyles' next morning on
the charge of reckless driving.
Henry Pittman, who lives beyond the
Fulton Cotton Mills, was the defendant.
The goose killed had long been one Of
the sights of the park. She was infirm
from old age, and walked sideways. In
the lake there was not duck or goose
that could keep up with her at all, but on
land she got sea sick. She was what a
faneier would call Chinese or Hong
Kong goose, having a long swan-like
neck.
What say you," asked the recorder,
Ito killing the oldsgray goose?''
The young man said his horse became
frightened and that he was unable to hold
him. He had tried to stop in time to save
the life of the goose, but his efforts had
been futile.
THAT might have been child, instead
Of a goose" said the recorder. And, be-
sides, a goose should not be run over.
People driving in the park should be
very careful"
A small fine was imposed. This was
paid and the young man departed with
the death of the old gray goose on his
conscience.

HAY GIVEN. THANKS
FOR HIS EULOGY
AFTER DEBATE
RESOLUTION WAS NOT PASSED
UNTIL HEATED DEBATE
HAD BEEN HELD IN
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON. June s.-Fhe resolution
thanking Secretary Hay for his Mckinley
address was adopted 129 to 46
When the house met yesterday Mr.. Bur-
ton of Ohio presented the conference re-
port on the river and harbor bill and gave
notice that he would call 1t UP today.
Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs from his
committee presented a. resolution calling
upon the president, If not incompatible
with the public interest for full informa-
ton concerning the invitation of the Brit
ish supply camp in Louisiana, made under
his authority. The resolution was adopt
ed. e
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, moved the pas
sage under suspension of the rules of
Joint resolution extending the thanks
of congress to Hon. John Hay, for his
address on the occasion of the Mckinley
memorial services last February.
Some time ago Mr.. DeArmond. OF Mis-
souri,, objected to the request for unani-
nous consent to consider this bill. Today
Mr.. Richardson. the minority leader, de-
manded a second upon Mr.. Grosvenor's
motion and 1t was ordered. 81 to 50.
Twenty minutes debate were allowed on
each side. Mr.. Grosvenor explained that
Secretary Hay had been invited to deliver
the memorial address by both houses of
congress following which the resolution
of thanks was offered in terms identical
with that passed by congress after Ban,
croft, the historian, had delivered the eu-
logy upon Lincoln. Mr.. Richardson then
yielded his 20 minutes to Mr.. Clark, of
Missouri, who made an objection to the
consideration of the resolution in commit
tee
Mr.. Clark said that he appreciated that
any one who opposed the pending resolu-
ton would subject himself to the criticism
of every editor in the United States who
also was postmaster or who hoped to be
a postmaster. In some respects Mr.. Clark
said he had high opinion and high re-
gard for the secretary of state. He was
an historic parsonage. He had made
name IN literature, both in prose and poet
ry that any man might envy. 1t was not
against the man therefore that his criti-
cism was directed. 1t was because in the
presence of a great, brilliant and sympa-
thetic audience he had abused the occasion
to inject into his eulogy of Mckinley
high-class stump speech.

WAL TER {, LAING, OF
JACKSON DROWNED
TITS SUPPOSED HE LOST HIS LIFE
WHILE BATHING-FAMlLY RE-
SIDES NEAR JACKSON.

JACKSON, Ca, June 3.-Dr. T. f.
Laing a prominent physician, residing
about eight miles northwest of Jackson,
received yesterday a telegram from Sa.
vannah stating that his son, Walter Eu-
gene Laing. who had been working for a
large mercantile firm in Savannah for
year and VINO mysteriously disappeared
last Wednesday, had been drowned on the
beach at Savannah. re7a-s
From the meagre news received by Or.
Iaing from the Savannah firm Walter,
while out collecting for the trip, went
riding on a bicycle to the beach and went
in bathing and later in the day his clothes
and bicycle were found upon the beach
and II Is supposed while out bathing he
was drowned. The. first of last week he
wrote to his parents that he would return
home in few days and his delay in not
arriving on time caused Dr. Iaing to
wire the Savannah firm Sunday of his
sons whereabouts. The business house
being closed. Sunday DR.. Laing did not
receive any news regarding his son. Yes
terday the firm wired him that Walters
clothes and bicycle were found upon the
beach last Wednesday and that they be-
lleved that the young man was drowned
while I'm bathing.

BARROW
WILL FIGHT
TRUST
INSTRUCTS CHATHAM GRAND
JURY TO BRING INDICTMENTS
AGAINST THE BEEF TRUST
, PEOPLE.

SAVANNAH Ga, June 3.-Judge Pope
Barrow, of the superior court of Chatham
county, who stated last week that he
would pay his attentions to the beef trust
in his charge to the grand jury of his
court kept his word yesterday and
tackled the big corporations
He holds that under the Georgia laws
against the offenses Of "forestalling, re-
grating and engrossing," which have slept
dormant for many years, the beef trust
can be proceeded against In the superior
courts of the state.
He told the grand jury If they would
indict the persons responsible for the COM
bine of beef, there was plenty of evidence
against them that could be used in the
courts of Georgia. He said in conclusions:
eff you can find the names of the lead
ing packers who have been instrumental
in forming the beef trust as it is called,
and who are members of it, the first step
will be taken If you can then secure evil
dence going to show that they have in
fact bought up cattle throughout the
country, 'comingsi Sin the way to Market
and that they have by these means been
enabled to enhance the price of beef pro-
ducts and have in fact enhanced the price
in the markets of Savannah, you will be
authorized to bring in bill of indictment
against Them and believe ii is your duty
to do 1t. In the bill filed in the United
States court in Illinois by the attorney
general of the United States the names of
the defendants can be found. In their an
swer, admissions which will be of value
to you, will be found, and in the pleadings
and evidence in that case, you will be
able to secure enough to go long ways
towards making out a case.
81 give it to you as my opinion that an
indictment can be legally found, If the
facts are as they are publicly and univer
sally stated to be. / think 1t is your duty
to investigate and present these people. If
you will find bill of indictment, prom
ise.you that no stone will be left unturned
to bring the defendants to the bar of this
court for trial. If they can be indicted
and punished in this court, 1t will settle
the question that they can be similarly in
dicted and punished in every county In
the United States. in which they sold beef,
where the law is the same as 1t is in
Georgia.
''I hope you will take this matter up in
earnest and at once. / will give you all
the assistance in my power. They ought
not to be allowed to Cypress the people
any longer. They ought not to be allowed
to go on levying forced contributions upon
the men of this country by applying the
thumb-screw of hunger to the women and
children of this country
It is more than probable under this
charge that the grand jury will do some
Investigating of the beef trust and indict-
ments may be found.
