OPPOSITION TO THE ATLANTA DE-
P0T.

The friends of the Atlanta union de-
pot, which is to be built under the au-
spices of the state, have overcome a
great many obstacles, and it looks
as If they would have to over
come others before accomplishing
their object. 1t required the hard
est kind of work to get the
Legislature to pass a bill authorizing
the state to build the depot-the meas
ure having been defeated at one ses-
sion of that body-and no sooner had
the Governor signed the bill than it
was rumored that the railroads would
not comply with its conditions.
1t is not known yet whether the rail-
roads will accept the states terms, but.
assuming that they will, it is by no
means certain that the state will con-
struct the building. 1t seems that the
property holders in the vicinity OF the
site of the proposed structure are op-
posed TO it. They think that it will
be an injury to them-at least that is
the inference from the protest which
they propose to send to the depot conf
missioners.
If these property owners are so much
opposed to the depot why is it that
they did not make their objections
known while the bill was pending in
the Legislature? That was the proper
time to protest.
1t may be that they are only getting
ready TO put in big damage claims. 1t
is evident, however, that they will not
get large damages if the matter is left
to the commission. The state is pre-
pared to spend only 100000, and il
much goes to property owners the de-
pot will not be such a structure as will
be satisfactory 10 the people of the
city.
1t is probable that there will have to
be a good deal of diplomacy used in
getting matters pertaining to the depot
in shape. There will be found a
great many obstacles of one kind and
another to be overcome before the
foundation stones are laid. The COM
mission meets on Monday next, and II
is probable that at that time It will
be possible to see pretty clearly just
what the railroads propose to do, and
whether the protest of the property
holders is likely 20 amount to anything.

SENSATIONAL AND MIsCHIEvous.

The sensational dispatches appearing
in some newspapers in this country
and in Germany in which 1t is set
forth that in the opinion of our mill
tary and naval authorities war be-
tween the United States and Germany
is inevitable, are calculated to do a
great deal of harm, because they tend
TO cause irritation between the two
peoples. 1t seems that a dispatch of
this sort appeared in a New York pa
per day or two ago, and. according
TO our cable dispatches yesterday. the
Tageblatt of Berlin published a SINH
lar dispatch on Monday.
1t may be that there are military
and naval men in Washington who
think there will be trouble between
Germany and the United States before
Germany's trouble with Venezuela is
settled, but they have no good ground
for thinking scat least as far as the
public can see they haven't Germany
has given assurances that she has no
purpose of occupying any Venezuelan
territory permanently. That being the
case it is difficult to see how there is
going to be trouble between Germany
and this country. Germany under
stands very well that the United States
will not permit her or any other
European country TO take permanent
possession of territory in Venezuela

The Herald prints an elaborate and
circumstantial story of plot to kid
nap Jay Gould, the twelve-year old
son of George Gould, as the child left
the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York, last Saturday with his mother,
brother and sister. According TO the
story, the plot involved two automo-
biles exactly alike, two chauffeurs
dressed alike, and a. child the double
in dress and appearance of the one
to be stolen. The idea was for the
extra automobile to act as decoy and
draw pursuers away, while the vehicle
containing the little Gould dashed to
the river, where a boat was in wait
ing to convey the kidnapers and their
prize to New Jersey. The plan, it is
said, was only frustrated by Mrs.
Gould's changing her mind about the
time of leaving the opera house. 1t
would be difficult if not impossible, to
formulate any plan to prevent child
stealing, but it would not be difficult
to make laws against the crime so
severe that attempts at kidnapping
would be less frequent than they have
been since the Cudahy case

man is being carefully looked into. If it
should prove true, the Mormon head

pie is inexplicable, it evidently being on

infatuation. The greatest sympathy is
felt for Mr.. Stafford, who is almost craZCd

had cause to doubt her absolute integrity

LATTIMER CASE FALLS FLAT.
Jury Simply Find That He Was Killed, Ac
cusing no One.
(By the Associated Press }

New York, July 23.-Harry J. Parker,
an insurance adjuster. who worked also
as private detective, was the first wit
ness today in the coroner's inVestiga-
ton of the shooting of Albert G.. Latti-
mer in his home in Brooklyn, on the
morning of July 2. Parker testified that
on May l this year Lattimer visited him
and employed him.
why did Albert c. Lattimer visit
you?" asked District Attorney Clarke.
He told me he wanted to get evidence
against his wife for unfaithfulness with
a man whose name was given by Mr..
Lattimer as Tuthill." Parker replied.
ION May 2, OF this year, went with
Mr.. Lattimer to Tuthills residence in
Vanderbilt avenue and there / was told
by Mr.. Lattimer that it was TutnilP S
house and l was to keep a watch on it,
and report Tuthill's movements to him.
On May l saw Tuthill go to Latti-
mer's house at about $50 or G O'Clock.
Lattimer was accustomed to reach home
as late as $50 or o'clock.
Parker testified that on one occasion
Tuthill went to see Mrs. Lattimer at
her home and remained there until the
middle of the afternoon. Before Parker
left the stand District Attorney Clarke
made the following statement:
II have had no conversation with this
witness, but l understand that he can
testify that the deceased told him that
in case of his death he would know VINO
killed him, mentioning the names of two
persons. Now this is heresay and not
admissible under the laws of evidence.
1t seems to me that if this declaration
is to be introduced now it would be ille-
gal, censurable and cruel; as far as
am concerned 1 don't purpose asking this
man to make the declaration"
Maggie Fitzgerald, servant employ
ed in a house near Lattimer's, said that
after the shooting she saw man she
thought was Lattimer go to a window
and call for help. This witness also tes-
titled that about the time the police ar
rived she saw man on the roof of the
Lattimer house.
The case was then given to the jury
which brought in a verdict declaring
that Lattimer was killed by a pistol
shot wound. No accusation against any
one was made by the jury.

THE FIRE AT CAMDEN.
The Loss is NV Put at Seventy Thousand
Dollars.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Camden, S. c., July 2S.-Fire, which
broke out in the principal business por-
tion of this city late last night, de-
stroyed one of the most substantial
blocks of Camden, entailing an estimated
loss of $4,000, partially covered by in
surance.
The town was entirely at the mercy
of the flames, being without water pro-
lection on account of the water plant
having been recently destroyed by fire.
A change in the direction of the wind
which swept the flames back over the
burned area, checked the flames.
The fire was caused by an explosion
of lamp in an uptown store and spread
rapidly through an entire block con-
tanning eleven stores and business build
ings.
The Pythian Hall and the Masonic
Hall were destroyed. Two stores be-
longing to J. C. Mann were entirely
consumed.
The Bank of Camden was saved only
after the most persistent efforts. The
fire department of Columbia promptly
answered the call for assistance, but the
special train with the apparatus arrived
after the flames had spent their fury.

ITO FIGHT ON FRIDAY
All Ready For the Jeffles-
fitzsimmons Contest.
Both Men Are in SpIe3dd Condition. The Bet
ting Among Sports in Favor Of
JeffrieS.
(By the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, July 23.-Everything is
now in readiness for the Jeffries-Fitz-
simmons contest on Friday night and the
attendance promises to tax the capacity
OF the arena. 1t is not likely that JEFF
fries will follow his usual routine of ex-
ercises from now on. He is at his best
and win do just as he Lleases.
He is particularly partial to sprinting
at this stage Of the game, as he believes
that by footing it over short stretches
OF highway he gains in speed and
strengthens his wind. Jeffries is better
natured than he was a week ago. He de-
clares that he feels stronger and better
than he ever did before going into any
fight and those who have been watching
him during his training insist that he
is faster than ever.
Fitzsimmons has also tapered off in his
work, having passed the point where pre-
liminary exercises will cut any figure. He
says that hereafter he will do his boxing
in private. After experiencing tenlpor-
airy boom in betting circles Fitzsimmons'
chances have receded in the estimation
of speculators until the original odds
of 10 20 now prevail.
A slight defect in the ring has been
found, but it will be remedied before the
fight. The heavy timbers which support
the frame work about the ring were
found to be rather too close to the ropes.
If there was a struggle in any of the
four corners there would be possibility
of either The heads or the hands of the
boxers being injured. To avoid this
rope will cut off one foot of each cor
ner, making the ring octagonal instead
of square. The posts will be padded as
an extra precaution.
Soldier Tom Wilson, who came from the
East 20 act as Fitzsimmons' sparrtng
partner, but who was shelved IN favor
of Ham Griffin, will not see the Tight
He received orders to join his regiment
