ments will be heard tomorrow in the

AUTHORIZED NEW ISSUE.
Telephone Company Will Increase
Its Capital.

New York, March 31.-At a special
meeting of the stockholders of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company held here to-day, the propo-
sition of the directors to increase the
capital stock from $15O,OOO,O0O to $780,
100000 was ratified by large MAORI
ty vote.
The newly elected directors organized
by re-electing the former officers. The
new vice president, provided for by
the amendment to the bylaws are:
G.. H. Cummings of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company; Thos. Sherwin and
c. ]. French. Each of the new vice
presidents will have charge of a GER
tain department, but the details have
not all been decided upon.
President Fish said the company had
issued the entire amount of the origi-
nal capital stock and that it seemed
best to get authority from the stock
holders to issue an additional amount.
While the growth of the company's
business will require additional capt.
tai later, it is not the purpose of the
management to issue any new stock at
present.

Great Crowds Assemble for the Grit

GEeat CEOWOS Assemble TOT tue Gr1A-
fin Murder Case.
Eatonton, Ga, March 31.-One more
day was spent with the Griffin MUIR
der case, and yet the end is not
in the history of this county. 1t has
created deep interest. The crowds as
seembling daily to hear the proceedings
are the largest known here but are
perfectly quiet and orderly.
Investigation of thirty witnesses
has been thorough and tedious, but
public interest is unflagging.
The greater part of tomorrow will
be occupied in completing argument.
Col. S. T. Winfield and NJ. F. Adams,
for the state, and w. F. Jenkins, Jr.,
for the defendants, have spoken Dur
ing Judge Turner's speech this even
ing, court adjourned till 8 o'clock to-
morrow. Besides Judge Turner, Judge
w. b. Wingfield and Judge w. f. Jen-
kins are yet to speak. Every point
at issue is eagerly watched by the
assembled crowds, and the end is
looked for with intense interest.
Mrs. Griffin has been in the court
room every day, her two little chill
dren occupying her every attention,
except when they are asleep. She
keeps her face heavily yelled and
manifests as much interest in the pro-
ceedings as her children will allow.
She appeared considerably affected
while making her statement to the
court. No material change was seen
in her statement here and at the in
quest.
Judge Turner is making strong
argument for the state. Evidence
was introduced to-day, showing that
John Griffin said to a neighbor that
he was afraid to eat a meal at his
own house or any of the Knowles
because of the feeling between the
two families.

NEW SCALE OF WAGES
Effective for BituminOus Miners I'm
Many States.


Indianapolis, March S1.-The old
wage scale between the bituminous
miners and operators of nearly twenty
states expired to-day. The 1902 agree
ment will continue in Tennessee, Ala
bama and several other Western and
Southern states until June or July.
In Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania and other states, where
the miners and operators have agreed,
a new SCALE based on the action of
the national convention held here in
January and February, will take effect.
Secretary Wilson received word at
the national headquarters to-day that
an agreement has been reached in
Kentucky.
A few figures compiled by Secretary
Wilson show that the bituminous
miners, as result of the national and
state conventions, will receive this year
an aggregate increase of $19, 437, COO in
wages over last year. This is based
on the output of last year. 1t is prob
able the amount will be even more, as
the production is likely to be greater.
Including the advance received by
the anthracite men, the total increase
will be about $4,000. 900 this year.
President Mitchell returned from
Washington to-day.

Savannah Athletic Club.
The next match before the Savannah
Athletic Club will take place April 8.
between Herman Miller and Jack Ry-
an. They will meet at catchweights,
under straight Queensbury rules, or
with the modification Of breaking clean

"Wednesday night, is again in
active training, Ryan left New
York by steamer yesterday afternoon.
and WILDE in the city Friday morning.
He is now in good shape, and will
start in upon his arrival to put on his
finishing touches.
Miner and Ryan met two wears ago
in alten-round draw, which was their
only match. Since then both of them
haye defeated all the good men of their
cl5ss around Philadelphia and Now
YORK. In consequence the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club of PHILADELPHIA
has been trying for many months to
match them for bout before that club.
Inc match was arranged last fall, but
Miller received an injury before tre
match and it had to be called off. Their
meeting will be mater of interest in
both New York and Philadelphia, and
throughout that district and the Sa-
Vannah Athletic Club is to be congrat-
ulated upon securing the bout.
Both men are of about the same
weight and their catchweights will
each be in the neighborhood of 1873
pounds. Both are fast fighters, but de-
hberate, and both have about equal
chances in fighting at long range or
at lnt1ghting. Miller says he knows it
will be a stiff bout, but he believes he
can win the decision. Ryan no doubt
mas equal confidence, for he shows no
hesitancy in coming.

Monroe Adams Is Again Sentenced
for His Murders.

for His Murders.
Americas, Ca, March 31.-Judge 2. A.
Littlejohn this afternoon resentenced
Monroe Adams to be hanged for the
atrocious murder of his own wife and
grown daughter, which crimes were
committed here six months ago. The
execution is dated for April %.
Adams case was appealed to the
Supreme Court and a new trial was re-
fused. The crime was one of the
most revolving ever committed in Geor-
gia.
Adams is a bright and very intelli-
gent mulatto. He had domestic trou-
bles, and on the night of the homicide,
armed with a double barreled shotgun
and with a pocket full of shells, he
went forth to kill four other negroes,
whom he names and whom he alleges
caused his domestic troubles. He
maintained that he killed his own fam
lily by mistake, thinking them two of
the other negroes marked for murder.
