IRWIN SUPERIOR COURT.
Three Murder Cases Disposed Of.
Judge Roberts for Supreme Bench.

Three Murder Cases Disposed OF.
Judge Roberts for supreme Bench.
Triton. Ca, March 15.-Irwin Supe-
rior Court adjourned this morning, aft
er two weeks session. Henry Roberts,
a white man. was acquitted for killing
negro, the first part of the year. Tom
McPhail, a negro, was convicted for
killing another negro, near Tracey.
Irwin county, several months ago, and
sentenced to life in the penitentiary.
The last of the murder cases to come
up, was John Furlong, for killing a
white man, named G.. Schafer, at Ocil-
la, in March, of last year. He is a
young man, and bears a good reputa-
ton where he resides. The evidence
went to show that Schafer was going
on to him with a knife, besides having
threatened his life then, and several
times before to Furlong and others.
The three negroes that robbed Mr..
and Mrs. Russell at Mystic, plead
guilty of the offense, and was sentenced
by Judge Roberts to forty years in the
penitentiary, each. Mr.. Russell is
postmaster at Mystic. The robbery
took place on their way home from the
postoffice, one night in January of this
year.
The Irwin county grand jury highly
recommended Judge D. NJ. Roberts, for
the Supreme Court judgeship, and if
he should enter the race, the strong pol
iticians of Irwin would willingly advo-
cate him throughout the state.
A carload of convicts passed through
Triton a day or two ago, en- route from
GresS' mill, at Kramer to his mill, at
Heartsease. this county, several miles
below Triton, on the Plant System.
Among them were eight white men,
two of which were TRUSTEES. One of the
TRUSTEES named Charlie Mathis, SEN
fenced for five years, for the theft of
$4,000. He is one of the bookkeepe~s
and stenographers for the company.
The other truSty, white man, named AL
len, sentenced to life for killing a man.
Mr.. Gress will move his mill at Kra-
mer to Midtown, Berrien county, near
his mill al Heartsease.
The Board of County Commissioners

three large rooms for the jailer's fam
lily, with an insane cell on the first
floor, with room for thirty prisoners.

cost of the building, leaving several
hundred dollars for other purposes. The

CANNOT BORROW MONEY.

County school Boards and Commits
sioners Have Not This Authority,
Says Attorney General Wright.
Atlanta, March 15.-Attorney General
Wright to-day gave to State School
Commissioner Glenn an important
opinion with reference to the borrow
ing of money by county school COM
missioners or county school boards for
the purpose of paying school teachers
in advance of the receipt of their sala-
ries from the state. Such county school
commissioners and board, he says, have
no authority whatever to borrow
money for this purpose and the section
of the code giving them authority to
make all arrangements necessary to
the efficient operation of the schools,
does not confer on them this power.
The question arose as a result of the
recent case in Warren county, where
the county school commissioner Dor
rowed about $1,000 to pay the teachers
in advance, and deposited it in a bank
which afterwards failed. AS the coun-
ty school commissioner had no author
ity to make this loan, his bondsmen
cannot be held responsible for 1t. 1t
seems that the bondsmen of public Off
Gals are only responsible in such cases
where the official has legal authority to
make the loan. In this case therefore,
the lender must lose the money unless
he can collect it personally from the
county school commissioner. A school
commissioner may accommodate the
teachers in this way if he desires, but
1t must be a transaction entirely out
side of his official duties.

WILL STAY AT AMERICUS.
Rev. Mr.. Henderson viii Not Go to
the Griffin Church.

the Griffin Church.
Griffin, Ca, March 15.-Rev. L. G..
Henderson of Americas, who accepted
a call to the pastorate of the Griffin
Presbyterian Church several weeks ago,
will remain at his present charge and
has so notified the officers of the Grit.
fin church. His letter was received
yesterday and created considerable
comment among the Presbyterians
here, as a house had already been rent
ed for him and considerable prepara-
tions had been made for the new pas
tor, who was expected within a few
days.
Mr.. Henderson assigns as his reason
for declining the call that 1t was not
made in regular form, and the church
at Amer'cus intended to oppose him
making the charge at the coming ses-
sion OF the presbytery. Mr.. Henderson
is greatly loved by his congregation
at Americas, and 1t is said as soon as
they heard there was a chance of re-
tanning him by appealing to presbytery
they announced their intention of car
rying the matter before that body. 1t
was for the sake of harmony that Mr.
Henderson decided to decline the call
made him by the Griffin Presbyterian
Church.

the Throttle of His Engine.

Engineer Matthew'S Body Found at
the Throttle of His Engine.
Griffin, Ga, March 15.-The body of
Engineer Matthews, who was killed in
the Southern Railway wreck at
COUGHS mill creek on Thursday, Feb.
q, was recovered yesterday. When
discovered the body was pinioned to
the throttle of the engine, showing
that the engineer stuck to his post of
duty even unto death.
When the water in the basin formed
by building a dam above and below
the engine had been pumped out until
a part of the machinery was exposed,
parties were sent out to see if the en-
gineer's body could be found After
searching a few moments some one
found an arm and later a hand, but
the body was held down by the en-
CINE. Wire cables were attached to the
engine and the other ends connected
to the wrecking trains, and at a given
signal both engines upon the track so
feet above slowly raised the disabled
machinery in the creek. AS soon as
the heavy weight was removed the
body of Mr. Matthews rose
to the surface of the wa
ter. Members of the wreck
ing crew hastily threw sheets over the
body to keep it from view of the GU
rious crowd, and tenderly carried IT
to box car where it was taken in
charge by an undertaken and prepar-
ed for burial 1t is said the body was
in remarkable state of preservation
considering the long time it remained
under the water. The remains were
carried to Columbus last night for in
terment, accompanied by son of the
deceased, who has been at the scene
of the wreck for nearly two weeks
waiting for the recovery of the body.
