In this connection Mr.. Taylor intro

"The item of expense of our cleo

BOGUS PENNIES.
New. York's Sub-Treasury Discovered
117,OOO of Them in 1901.

In the minor coin division of the
United States sub-treasufy in New
York over -, 00j,UOU pennies received
there in 1901 over III, 900 were counter
felt. OF the 50. .O26, 900 received in minor
ns-nickels. three-cent pieces and
pennies-S1,331 was in counterfeit
pieces. Although the Baltimore sub
treasury has no record of the amounts
of coins detected there, because of the
fact that the United States secret SER
vice men collect all of these coins from
the city and take them to Washington
for experimental purposes and for the
purpose of detecting whether or not
any new counterfeits are being circu-
lated, it is known that but comparative
ly few spurious coins find their way
into the local office of the treasury.
About 100000 pennies Ire bonded
by the local sub-treasury each year,
and of these a remarkably small per
centage have been found of no value.
1t was stated at the sub-treasury yes
terday that the principal trouble, as
far as counterfeits are concerned, hcis
been with nickels. Not more than
about 500 of these are received in n
year. and receipts of pennies have BEEN
proportionately less.
The man accustomed to the work
spots bad penny in the fraction of a
second. Counting at a speed almost
t0o fast for the unframed eye to follow,
he seldom, If ever, misses one that is
off color or that lacks the sharpness of
outline in the modelling of a genuine
one.
The expert. however, is seldom able
to tell you what are the things that
mark for him particular coin as spu-
rious. His senses are so highly trained
to the work that he differentiates and
chooses almost instinctively. 1t is
merely n matter of unremitting vigil
nnce and long eXperience.-Baltimo

w. S. STATIONS WILL.
Petition Is Filed for Its Admission to
Probate.

Colorado Springs, Sept. 24-County
Judge Orr yesterday fixed Saturday,
October 4th, at 10 o'clock, as the date
for hearing the application to probate
the will of the late w. s. Stratton, upon
petition of the executors. The estate
is appraised by the executors at only
$5,000.000. This is understood to be a
legal formality only, and by no means
represents the true value of the prop
er,ty. The petition will come up for
hearing at the time set, unless con
tinuance should be asked and granted.
DIR. d. II. Rice, one of the executors,
this morning gave out the first state
ment regarding the will and its effect
on the community. He expressed his
surprise that there should exist any diff
ference of opinion as to the value of the
proposed home in the Springs, and de-
clared it as his judgment that the in
stitution would prove great blessing
to the poor, and be a COED thing for
the city and state.

But it should be borne in mind that
this table of expenses only represents
from fifty to seventy-five per cent or
the actual expense to the taxpayers;
while it, of course, shows nothing OF
the enormous amount of money paid
out by the candidates themselves. Be
sides, it should be remembered that the
election expenses in every county in the
state are increasing very rapidly from
year to year. By conservative calcu-
laticn / am firmly convinced that from
eighty-five to ninety per cent. of the
entire cost of the election in the odd
years can be saved to the taxpayers of
this state by consolidating the county
and state elections, thereby saving ap-
proximately $25o,OOO every alternate
year, even as conditions are at present.
Besides the saving to the taxpayers,
there will be great saving to the can
didates themselves, by pro rating the
expense among the larger number. At
present, a poor man absolutely cannot
pay the necessary candidates assess
ment, much less respond to the exac-
tons Of an average campaign.
"This feature of saving of expense is
the secoDd main object of these amend
ments. There is another feature that
should be mentioned, viz: Our pres
ent constitution provides for the fee
system for county officials, county
Judges and district attorneys, and the
Legislature cannot pass law to
change it. This amendment makes 1t
possible for the Legislature to pass a
law, in case public sentiment demands
it. fixing definite salaries for any or all
officials, ana permits some other
changes that are deemed advisable and
which lack of space and want of time
will not hermit me to mention"

the latter will get into Pensacola, eth

report He said there was little chance
of the Central getting or wanting the
Yellow River Railroad just at present,
when there is a stretch of twenty-five
miles between Sellersville, the western
terminus of the Chattahoochee and

SELLING BEEF TOO CHEAP.
Got Bryan County Negro Into Jail
and Trouble.

Because he sold two oxen at an ex-

negro from Bryan county, was arrest
ed yesterday morning upon suspicion
as thief apsNwas locked in the bar
racks by Detectives Davis and Wall.
Myers came to the city to sell two
fine-looking bovines. He tied them out
side of the city, on the Ogeechee road,
and came in town to find a purchaser.
A butcher hearing of the bargain which
Myers was Offering, went with him
out on the road to see the oxen,
He found them to be two fine steers.
and when the negro, defying the beef
trust, offered the pair to him for SIS,
he was not long in closing the trade
The oxen were worth more than
double the price that he had paid for
them, and this alone began to make

within a few hours they had the man
in tow. The SIS, as we'll as the rope
with which the negro led the oxen to

A CROOK WITH A NERVE.
Il. A. Bailey, FOrger, And Some of
His Queer Tricks

His Queer Tricks.
. E. A. Bailey, an intensely colored
person, entered a plea of guilty to an
indictment charging him with forgery
in the Superior Court yesterday, and
on account of the plea, got off with
years term on the gang. Despite his
judicial admission of guilt Bailey con-
tinued, for the two hours or more he
spent in the sheriff's office, to protest
his innocence.
He was charged with signing the
name of William Simmons to an or
der drawn on the Georgia Lumber
Company, where both were employed.
outside the court room Bailey said
Simmons had given him the order.
1t was not alone in this manner he
manifested his possession of a most
stupendous and eXhilarating nerve. Mr..
George w. Owens, who had known
Bailey of old. had advised him in con-
nection with the case, and before the
man entered the court room, to be SEN
fenced, had given him a dime. 1t did
not satisfy Bailey.
Say" he said to Mr.. Owens, in the
most casual and debonair tone posi-
BILE, Now give me a quarter, won't
Vou?"
Mr.. Owens said he wouldn't.
Bailey was somewhat exercised at the
manner of the duties he would be re-
quired to perform on the chaingang.
His hands. he remarked, with pardon
able pride. We're not made for work,
and he didn't feel he could be expect
ed Ito play around in them bitches"
We'll" remarked one of the depu-
ties consolingly, you needn't worry
It's damned little playing you'll be

BOTH WANTED A DIVORCE.
Husband Suing His Wife and the
Wife Her Husband.

A first verdict of total divorce was
granted in the Superior Court yester-
day in the case of John l.. deTreviIle
against E. M deTreville and, vice YER
sa. the wife against the husband With
both parties clamoring for a dissolu-
ton of the marriage relation and GRIM
nations and denominations passing be-
tween them, no other result could have
been expected.
The husbands suit was first filed, but
when the wife made her answer she
expressed an equal anxiety for. a di-
vorce. She said, in fact, she had in
stituted divorce proceedings on for
mer occasion, but that by mutual con-
sent and on the husbands promise to
do better, this suit had been with
drawn. -
The husband accused the wife of
cruel treatment, which was said to
consist in complaining to the neighbors
that he failed to provide for her wants.
and was accustomed to abuse and i'll
treat her-all of these charges being
wholly and absolutely uA.rue.
The wife said she had made no such
complaints, but that as far as the i'll
treatment was concerned it was true.
She instanced several occasions, giving
time, place and circumstance, when he
had beaten and ill-treated her in the
most cruel and brutal manner. On one
occasion he had caught her by her
throat, held her up against the wall
and kicked her until her legs below the
knees were bruised and swollen and
bloody with the violence of his as
sault.
With these charges from both par
ties in evidence, the jury probably
thought a divorce was about the prop
er thing and the first verdict was
granted. w. H. Wade represented Mr..
DeTreville and Twiggs & oliver his
wife.

IN RICHMOND TERMINAL HANDS.
$4,000, 900 of Central stock Is Said
to BE Kept.

So 600 200 of Central stock Is Said
to he Kept.
The New York Commercial Advertis-
er has this to say of the $1,000 900 of
Central of Georgia stock, the where
abouts of which has for years been
something of mystery:
Concerning the Central of Georgia
it has been stated broadly that con-
Unidentified with the Southern. That
is not strictly accurate, while actual
ly the Southern does dictate the situa-
ton.
Some mystery has been made of the
actual whereabouts of the $5,000000
stock of the Central of Georgia. That
stock is held, according to a reliable
authority, by and in the name of the
old Richmond Terminal reorganization
committee, of which A. H. Joline is
chairman.
THE Richmond Terminal Company
in 1883 purchased the entire capital of
the Georgia Company, the proprietary
company which had been formed to
take over control of the Central Rail-
road and Banking Company.
In 1892 the Richmond Terminal
Company was enjoined from voting
this stock, but this decision was re-
Versed in 1893. When the Richmond
Terminal was reorganized and the
present Southern Railway formed the
stock of the Central of Georgia was
not turned over to the Southern or in
terests allied with the Southern.
although the work of the Reorgan-
ization Committee was consummated
it was not dissolved, but has been con-
tinued, and this committee still holds
control and votes the stock of the Cen
trail of Georgia."
