MAYOR OF MOULTRIE
WAS ENUMERATED.

Moultrie. Ga, June 2S.-At a special
meeting of the City Council Mayor B.
P. Crenshaw was completely exonerat-
ed of the charges brought against him
by Policemen Campbell and Woodward.
The charges were very damaging in
their nature, and were made by the
policemen on the occasion of their Of
fering their designations a week ago.
They charged among other things that
they were unable to perform their duty
because the Mayor was interested in
certain blind tigers and refused to give
them proper support. The Mayor
promptly demanded an investigation OF
the charges, and the investigation was
set for last night. The investigation
was conducted in the Court House. Inc
Mayor and policemen also were ably
represented by counsel, who examined
and cross examined the witnesses. A
large crowd was present and the inter-
est was intense.
When the Council made the report
generating the Mayor, there was loud
cheering, showing that the finding met
with general approval.

MURDER OF M'CANN.
Harrington Is Held, Charged with
the Crime,


st. Louis, June 2S.-A. warrant was
sworn out to-dway by Mrs. James P.
Mccain, charging F. Seymour Barring
ton with the murder of her husband.
AS the alleged crime was committed
in st. Louis county, the city authorities
to-day gave Darlington over into the
custody of Sheriff Hankon, and the
prisoner was taken to Clayton and
placed in jail.
The body of a man supposed to be
Mccain, which was buried soon after
being drowned a few days ago at Bon
quest held. The body was terribly de-
composed. Nevertheless, Mrs. Mccain
identified the body as that of her hus-
band, partially basing the identification
on gold tooth. Others also identified
the body.
Coroner Koch returned verdict that
two bullet holes were found in the dead
mans head and bullets were extracted
corresponding in calibre to that of the
revolver found in Barrington's trunk
last night. The coroner also found a
deep cash in the throat and a cut in
the palm of the right hand leading to
the assumption that the man had been
attacked first with a knife and, in de-
Tending himself, had seized the blade;
that finally his throat had been cut,
and he was ultimately shot twice in the
head.
Darlington asserts his innocence.

TREATY WITH CHINA
Will Soon Have Its Notifications
Exchanged.

Exchanged.
London, June 29.-The Times corre-
spondent at Pekin says it is announced
that the ratification of the commercial
treaty between China and Great Brit
ain, which was signed by Sir James l..
Mackay and the Chinese commission
ers at Shanghai last September, is on
its way to Pekin, and ratifications will
presumably be exchanged after It's ar
rival, although China has not Vouch-
safed reply to the queries of the Brit
ish government regarding her inten-
tons as to the carrying into effect of
some of the more loosely worded clauses
of the treaty.
Article of the treaty provides for
the abolition of the I1ikin barrier,
while the native custom houses emu
merated in the government records are
retained, the functions of the Likin
in barriers and the customs house are
largely interchangeable.
The treaty also provides that Great
Britain must be furnished with a list
OF customs houses. concerning the num-
Der of which there Is great diversity
of opinion. The treaty commissioners
estimated their number at from eigh-
teen to twenty-five only, while experts
in the inland trade say the customs
stations number at present a thousand.
II Article s becomes operative the
British officials in China will be re-
CURED to redouble their vigilance. but
IL probably will not operate because
Great Britain will obtain the advan-
tage In the American treaty under the
most Favored nation clause.

ON A BUILDING BOOM.
important Enterprises About to Be
Established at Americas,

established at Americas
Americas, Ga, June 2S.-Three new
enterprises, representing perhaps $780,
600 capital invested are to be estab-
llshed at once upon the Central Rail-
way front here, and at the head of
Cotton avenue. These are the Ansley
Company's plant; that of the Glover
Grocery Company and, quite likely, ex-
tensive marble works.
The Ansley Company broke dirt yes
terday for a large ice factory and
cold storage plant, the factory having
a capacity of thirty tons daily and
With steam power sufficient to dou-
Bile that amount. The cold storage de-
partment will have sufficient capacity
to store twenty carloads of perishable
stuff, and in addition the company will
operate syrup plant for the reboiling
and bottling of cane syrup. A fruit
canning plant will be added later, and
will do an extensive business.
E. D. Ansley will be local manager
of this extensive enterprise. The COM
pany will be manufacturing ice with
in thirty days, as the brick walls of
the big building are rising rapidly.
Next the Ansley Company's plant
the Glover Grocery Company will at
once erect a mammoth warehouse and
office building. This company has just
been chartered, with ample capital,
and within ninety days, perhaps, will
occupy new and commodious quar-
ters.
The third enterprise alongside these,
and which will fill up all the vacant
space between the Central depot and
city, is practically assured-large mar
BILE works. All of these industries, to-
gether with the Americas Grocery
Company near by, will have ample
private trackage and will front one
of the main business streets as well.

MAY AVERT STRIKE.
Machinists at Pittsburg Make n
Concession.

Make n
Concession.
Pittsburg, June 28.-The threatened
strike of the machinists in this vicin-
ity on July l was probably averted
to-day by the men agreeing to COM
promise, cutting their demand for an
increase in wages from Is to 10 per
cent and Withdrawing bodily their
original proposition to make entirely
union all shops where union men in
any number are employed.
A committee will wait on the man
ufacturers tomorrow to present the
modified scale. If this conference fails
to agree, nearly 1900 union machinists
will be ordered on strike Tuesday. AS
the union manning of the shops has
been stumbling blocks, it is believed
the manufacturers will agree to the
10 per cent advance in wages.
The molders will in all probability
strike on July 1. This craft, after
several conferences with the employ
ers, has failed to agree on a new
scale. Arbitration has also failed.
