this has the Hemphill home on Peachtree

Mussafir-E Din, and his suit, who ar
rived at Dover yesterday, reached Lon

diamond stood out like a head light; his
epaulettes were adorned with large emer-

than those of his majesty.

CRAP SHOOTERS
KILL BRONSON \
SUPERINTENDENT PHOSPHATE
MINES is SHOT TWICE WHILE
TRYING TO BREAK UP A
GAME.

LAKE BUTLER, Fla, Aug. 2O,-One OF
the most brutal murders ever committed
by a negro in this state was the killing OF
Superintendent Bronson. of Batch and
Bars phosphate works, near here sun
day morning
superintendent Bronson 1t seems for
the past few months has been trying to
clear his camps of the idle crap shooters
that infest the quarters every Saturday
night. Sunday morning about o'clock ne
was awakened by one of his men VINO
informed him that a crap game was in
progress In a shanty near by.
Bronson dressed hurriedly and went
to investigate. He slipped in at a side
door, surprising the negroes in the midst
Of the game. Several Of the negroes re-
scented his command to move out and
scuffie ensued in which Bronson put the
gamblers to flight with a stick.
Just as the house had been cleared and
he started to step out at the door two
shots were fired in rapid succession.
Bronson pitched forward on his face
and when friends arrived he was uncon-
scious with the blood streaming from two
ugly wounds; one just below the heart,
and another over the right hip. He was
given the best of attention, but died the
following morning at o'clock.
Superintendent Bronson was in every
way a perfect gentleman. He was mid
die aged man and had been in the employ
of Bach & Bans for a number of years.
He was a religious and GOd-fearing man
and his friends were numbered by the
score.
When the news Of his death spread
through the camps excitement was at
fever heat and in a hurried investigation
it was found that the fatal shots were
fired by a negro desperate named Man
Austin, who made it a business to follow
up pay days at public works and skin the
hard working darkeys out of their wages.
1t is said that Austin was handed a re-
volver by another negro, who told him to
shoot, but as there are so many conflict
ing stories it is hard to get at the facts.
AS soon as he fired the fatal shots Austin
made his escape and is yet at large, al
though there are a. number of men SCOUT
ing the woods with blood hounds. A negro
was in town this morning and said Aus
tin had stayed at a negroes house near the
scene of the crime last night and was
sheltered and hid by the negro in ques-
ton. 1t is the general opinion that he is
making his way south. This entire Sec
ton is up in arms and diligent search
is being made and if the murderer is cap
tured there will be a lynching.

NEW YORK'S POPULATION
is 0NE-F0URTH HEBREW

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-According to sta
tistics based on the number of Jewish
burials recorded by the board of health
and compiled by the Jewish World, the
Hebrew population Of New York city is
estimated at 5S4,7SS. In Manhattan alone
every fourth man or woman Is a Jew or
Jewess. ..e ..
The Jewish burials amounted in 1901 to
1897, and as the death rate in the most
congested Jewish district is little over 155
per thousand. this implies a population of
533, 1873 in the middle of 1901. Since that
time no less than 81, 225 Jews have arrived
at New York and stayed here, while by
natural increase of births over deaths
r. 400 would be added up to August 1 Of
this year, making grand total Of 5S4, 7SS.
The number of Jewish marriages in Man
haitian alone in 1901 was 5,062, which at a
very high marriage rate of 10 per thousand
would imply a population of 506,200, to
which has to be added the 10000 Jews of
Brooklyn and the increase by immigration
and excess of births, as before.

STATE DEPOT QUESTION
DEAD, SAYS GOVERNOR

There will be no union depot under the
present depot bill, according to Governor
Gambler. The chief executive has reached
the conclusion that until the legislature
passes a bill appropriating the money with
which to build a station without any pro-
vision that the railroads shall first agree
to use it there viii be no depot on the
states property.
The depot commission when it meets
for it's final report will very likely make
this recommendation to the legislature,
and the governor will probably recon-
mend that such action be taken in his
final message. Another meeting Of the
commission will not be held until some
time in September or early in October.
There is no hope for new depot under
the present BILL" said Governor Gambler
yesterday. IF money was simply APP
propriated to p2y for tine building of a de-
pot without any provision that the rail-
roads now entering it should be required
to use it we could get a depot and get 1T
quick"

TWO WOMEN ARRESTED
ABOUT LITTLE BABY

Three generations, mother, daughter anu
granddaughter. spent Tuesday at police
headquarters, their names being docketed
on the sleepers' book with no charge
against them, though they were held for
the night to prevent the preparation or
crime, the deserving of child only a few
weeks old. The oldest of the three gave
her name as Bette Funderburg, age so.
Her daughter, Lizzie Funderburg, is 20
The baby was docketed on the book with
out name or age though tits known to be
only a few weeks old. The women say
they are from LAGRANGE.
Some time ago the girl came to Atlanta.
She was soon known to the police au-
thorities and later went to the Florence
Crittenden home. There the little baby
that was at Headquarters Tuesday was
born. Only a few days ago the older wo-
man came and took daughter and child
from the home. They were later seen to-
gether several times. Tuesday night the
women were at the union depot without
the child. This excited suspicion and De-
tective Simpson was sent to investigate
the matter.
The officer took the two women to head
quarters and turned them over to Mrs.
Bohneaeld, the matron. Chief Ball was
not at headquarters at the time and there
was some doubt as to how to proceed.
Mrs. Rohnefield, however, took matters in
her own hands and insisted that the wo-
men be held until they told what dispo-
sition had been made Of the child.
They at first refused to do this. They
said they had secured a good home for the
little one, had paid for it, and did not pro-
pose to take the child back home. They
were told very plainly they would be held
uphill they told where it was and at last
did so. 1t was at 20 King street, they said.
An officer was sent there and the baby
brought 70 headquarters.
The three were held over night and left
on the early train, presumably for La
Grange. 1t is believed at headquarters the
women gave fictitious names. 1t is also
thought they live at some place other than
Lagrange.

YESTERDAY
GREAT NAVAL MANEUVERS ARE
ON OFF ATLANTIC COAST IN
WHICH SAILORS ARE PLAY
ING FRIEND AND FOE.

ROCKPORT, Mass, Aug. a.-The
unique war game, in which the rival fleets
of Admiral Francis J. Higginson and
Commander John E. Pillsbury are pitted
against each other. began at noon today.
The North Atlantic coast is now threat
ened by a theoretically powerful squadron
of hostile battleships. from the attack OF
which an equally able feet will attempt
to defend.
This is the first series of manoeuvers in
which the ships will participate and 1t
was under the direction of the navy de-
partment alone, such practice as follows
the conclusion of this first contest was
the joint work of the army and navy de-
partments.
Commander Pillsburys fleet, known as
the White squadron, sailed from Prov
incetOwn on Monday and is now at sea-
Its present whereabouts is unknown to
Admiral HiggOnsin, whose force Is known
as the Blue squadron.
II was understood that the latter feet
which made it's appearance in this har-
Dor last Saturday, would, under the rules
of the contest, remain here until after
noon today.
At any time after that hour Admiral
Higginson was free to sail in search OF
the enemy"
It will be the object of the White squad
ron to make a landing at some unforti-
Qeu DisiC6 dlDuB liit COdSl dS SOCu dS pOS~
sible after this fixed hour and occupy the
position without interference for at least
six hours
1t is the duty of the defending feet TO
prevent the invaders from accomplishing
this purpose. If Admiral Higginson finds
| the enemy before they get in striking
distance, the victory is with him.
If Pillsbury, with his ships, should elude
Higginson and land his forces, he must
occupy the place he has captured and be
| free from discovery during the six-hour
period agreed upon. II he Is located be-
fore this time limit expires. 1t is scored as
a defeat for him.
AS the first series of the manoeuvres Is
purely technical and there will be no
semblance Of an engagement between the
ships.
No shots will be fired, except possibly
upon the discovery of the hostile feet at
night. when the firing would be entirely
for signalling purposes and to announces
| the discovery of Pfllsburwy's squadron.
Admiral Higginson lost no time in get
ting under way after the hour agreed up
on for the beginning of the contest had

were getting up steam and at u o'clock
they began to weigh anchor and half an
hour later all except the flagship eKar-
sarge had started out.
