Washington, May 14.-Complaint al
leging discrimination in the hauling
of coal was filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day against
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company by William Lamb & Co. of
Norfolk, Va. The discrimination al
legged is in expediting shipments of the
Pocahontas Coal and Coke Company,
purchased in 1901 by the railroad com
pany, and delaying shipments of the
petitioner and other companies. Also in
charging demurrage against the petit
toner for failure to promptly unload
cars, but falling to give notice of
their arrival although daily notice is
given to consignees of coal from the
mines of the railroad company.

assurance that those above named will
be placed on the superannuated roll.
The conference also accepted the re-
quest of Senior Bishop Stephen M.
Merrill for retirement.
The action of the conference to-day
created six vacancies in the board of
bishops. These, together with two re-

THIRD DEGREE IN ROUMANIA.
Sweating Process by which Confess
siOns Are Forced from Prisoners.


siOns Are Forced from Prisoners.
From the Louisville Herald.
THE prisoners in our country are
treated like kings and princes as COM
pared with those of Roumania," said
John 7. Ekalls of Portland, Me.
Il CHANGED to be in Roumania about
six months ago and saw a man arrest
ed. Being curious, 1 determined to
watch and learn what they did with
him. He was not tried and released the
next day. as he would have been in
this country, but was subjected to
medieval tortures. He was whipped
with the so-called sand sausage, a bag
filled with wet sand. This instrument
of torture infiicts terrible pain, but
leaves no marks whatever on the body
of the culprit.
This particular prisoner was tor
tured in order to wrest from him a
confession whether or not the kissing
of an actress had been the result of a
preconcerted conspiracy. He denied 1t
and was then treated to the joys of
the ash bag'-that is, his head was
put in a bag filled with ashes. The
jailers beat with stick upon the bag.
causing the ashes to penetrate into the
eyes, mouth, nostrils and ears of the
prisoner.
The process was then wound up by
what is known as the truth finder a
sort of wooden forceps by which the
temples of the prisoner are compress
ed. This was too much for the man.
He confessed a lie.
Il was glad to learn a few days la
ter, however, that the torturers had
been removed from Office for their w.
seemly work,

FOR A COLLEGE FRATERNITY

Chicago, May IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Ann Arbor, Mich, says
The Masonic students of the Uni

of incorporation of the Acacia Fra

This is the elimination of a move

time among Masonic students of the
United States for the organization of
an collegiate fraternity, the pre-

GROVES is PROTESTING.
Maintains That He Was Not Proper
Iy 0usted From His Job.

lnAN re " as NOT PROPER
Iy 0usted From His Job.
Macon, May Notwithstanding the
fact that the Board Of Aldermen Tues
day night last. by a vote of 6 TO 4,
practically dismissed Chaunoy Groves
park keeper, from his position, the
end of that somewhat sensational
chapter in Macons life has not yet
been written. That was considered
the end of the matter untn to-day,
when it was openly announced that
Groves would not accept the decree of
the board as final, asserting that his
discharge has not been in accordance
with law, as 1t requires a two thirds
vote of the members present TO i'm
peach. II the Groves investigation was
in the nature of an impeachment,
Groves is right. He is not out of a
job. and is still park keeper. But
members of the Board of Aldermen
and the Mayor do not class the investi-
cation as an impeachment, They de-
clare that it was simply an investiga-
ton OF charges made against crea-
ture of the board and that the findings
of the committee are the same as
would be a verdict rendered by jury
in any court house.
Groves in his appeal, will set out
the fact that in impeachments two
thirds vote is requisite to sustain it.
The vote, according to his contention,
is not to be based upon the member
ship of the body, but upon the vote
cast. If Groves contention is sustain
ed, he is still park keeper, and is
entitled to continue his work as such.
Should Groves contention hold good,
basing the vote upon the entire MEM
bership of the body, absentees as we'll
as those in attendance, it is not GER
tainty that he is out of job. Either
absentee joining the minority would
leave the vote requisite to impeach
one less than the two-thirds.

Old-time naturalists thought that

nacles. Giraldus Cambrensis in his
Topographic Hiberniae" 0154-11S9)
tells of birds called "Bernacae. which
are produced in marvellous way from
fir timber tossed along the sea-" Sur
rounded by shells, they hang beak
downward; then, becoming coated with
feathers, they fall into the water as
birds or fly away into the air. In
MINISTER'S "Cosmography Q550) and in
Gerard's 'Harbelp' Q59O appears an il
lustration of the 'barnacle tree"
Geese are seen protruding from some
of the fruits of this marvellous plant
while others. set free, are disporting
themselves in the water below. Sir
Robert Moray, before the Royal Socie-
~ of Edinburgh C677-167S), actually
described his having seen little shells
growing on fir tree cast up by the
waves on the island of Uist the shells
having within them little birds per-
fectly shaped, supposed to be barna-
cles."
In many parts of Ireland, it is said.
wrens are hunted and killed at Christ
QetldTE
that the wren was held in so high es-
TEEN by the Druids that the early
Christian missionaries gave orders that
it should be relentlessly hunted down
during the Christmas festival. The
usual story told in the North of Ire
land, however, affirms that the Cath
olics hated the bird because on one
occasion, when King James II was
about to make a surprise attack on the
camp of William III, a wren alighted
on a drum and pecked at it to so good
effect as to waken an Orange sentry
and thus save the army. To all ap-
pearances this is a mere fiction as wren
hunting is a Manx as well as an irish
custom. In the Isle of Man, it is re-
lated, many fishermen will not set out
to sea without dead wren on board.
The presence of the bird is supposed to
be a charm against shpwreck.
A London ornithologist has a plan
for getting rid of the overabundance
of pigeons that brood in the tops of
public buildings in that city. He thinks
it cruel to trap or shoot them, so he
would reinstate in the parks of Lon
don the once numerous kite, or, as he
is called in the North, 1.-The Duttock. ="
Once this bird was quite common about
Covent Garden. and if he could be in
duced to return he would thin out the
pigeons and at the same time afford
Londoners an opportunity for observing
a display of natural falconry that
would be a novelty. This ornithoogist
would also have jays and magpies re-
habilitated, so that they might keep
down the sparrows and other small
birds that threaten to become null
sance.

had BET his forty ranch
against a herd of mules that certain
swift animal of that kind could not

The wagon road ran for miles along
the railroad track. 50 Bucyrus was not
handicapped. The race was an even
one up 20 the last fifty yards. wien
Bucyrus. by a tremendous spprt. shot
ahead and passed the crossing with
twenty feet OF daylight between him
self and the engine. But there are
wiseacres in the Basin who shake their
heads when telling of that wonderful
race. and hint that the engineer was
half d sleep.
Colonel Snortally was a good loser.
and he eheerfully invited Theophilus
out the next day to choose his hun
dred acres He was not the less cheer
full because Theophilus the night be-
fore had made him a present of Buoy
rus. Theophilus proved an amazing
chooser. He reok narrow strip OF
land running from the corner up TO
Warder's Canon, at the foot of the
mountains. To the coloners jesting
about his choice. he said something
about 1t making good race track.
About week later Theophilus was
enjoying one evening quiet after din
ner smoke on the yeranda. He was at
peace with the world when Colonel
Snortally came up the walk. The col
onel's face was like the sun shining
red through thunder cloud. He was
too much agitated TO speak for min

his words were TO the point. From his
expressions one might gather that lie

philus had sold a certain hundred acres
of land as right Of way TO the Great

onel Snortally finished by declaring his
intention of removing from the scene

herewith drew his revolver.
There was a rustic Of Il dress. low

face on Theophilus' shoulder.
Don't do it, colonel unless you feel
compelled to-" said Theophilus, rising
with one arm about Glory, and unless
you want TO make Glory widow. We
were married two days ago
Colonel Snortally's face grew white
and the revolver slipped from his
grasp. Glory was the dearest of all
to him.

across the street and down seven sto
