question the baggage checks from No.
1000 to No. 1000 were used between
Detroit and Chicago, and that any
piece Of baggage bearing any of the

been checked east of Detroit. The

he said was the wrong one was No.

From Detroit the trail plainly led
to New York and ] lost no time in
reaching that city. From the first the
case had not appeared to me in the
light of ordinary larceny, although

an Englishman of education and good
address and cool under circumstances
which would arouse to Indignation or
breakdown many men, but / did not
believe him to be professional
thief.
There was no doubt Of his business
connections with Frank w. Brooks,
j. Stiles Armour and Gen. Roddy. the
latter president of the railroad the
securities of which had been stolen.
He had been general in the confad-
crate army from Alabama and was a
man OF high standing In Washing
ton he was something of a lobbyist
and was interested in government
contracts. At the time of which i
am writing he was abroad Gen Rod
dy and Frank w. Brooks were init
mate business associates and personal
friends.
Brooks New York offices were at
744 Broadway, where he was in the
real estate, insurance and loan bust
ness. He was known in New York
as man about town" and a promo

Brooks, both of New York,
and she were three of five
partners who owned and
operated the Ship Venti-
lation and Bilge Water
Pumping Company, which
had contracts to cleanse
ships in dock. Everett
was an intimate friend of
both Brooks and Armour,
and there seemed to be
nothing unreasonable in
Everett's offer of trans
portation. While this was
true, l could not under
stand why Everett should
have bought a ticket for
Miss Shotwell after tell
ing her he had a pass for
her. Neither could un-
derstand why his giving

The prosecution Of the men
charged with the theft of the
bonds and other papers had come
to naught in New York, as l had
partially anticipated. Powerful
influences had been brought to
bear from several quarters. and
Brooks and Everett had never
been tried on indictments. The
case of the bond robbery had been
gradually smothered and soon
passed from public interest.
Some time later warrant was
issued at the instance of Gen.
Roddy charging Carlotta +. Shot

LILY WHITES, HOWEVER SEEM
TO HAVE WON IN THE
SkIRMISH.
TWO MEETINGS IN SAME HALL
Fight Started as Soon as Chairman
Called The Convention Together.
No Compromise Was
Reached.

he republicans Of the Eleventh con
gressional district met at Toomer's
hall in this city yesterday for the pur-
pose of electing delegates 10 ,he Ma.
uonal convention at Chicago, electing
a new chairman OF the convention ANA
disposing OF such other business as
came before the convention
AS soon as the chairman called the
meeting to order it was evident that
split was coming, and the conyen
ton at once divided Il was claimed
that Chairman Belcber resigned some
time AGO and that Giles McI.enlop.
colored, was the chairman. This was
the claim made by about twelve Of
the forY-two members Of the conven
ton. The Belcher faction on the 9TH
er hand, claimed that while Belcher
had resigned, his resignation was not
in effect. and he should preside at thu
meeting. The other side objected ana
pretty soon two conventions were ia
session in the same hall Belcher pre-
siding over one ana McLendon over
the other. Both conventions proceed
Cd to transact business.
The lily white faction, of which Bel
cher was the retiring chairman. then
elected Postmaster Clark Greer. of
Dublin chairman, and elected r NJ
Wilkinson, OF aldosta, and M. G. Par,
ker, colored, of Pierce county, dele.
gates and W. c, Lane, of Vallosta, and
L. L. Allison of McRae, colored, al
tepates to the convention at Chicago

twelve delegates, was transacting bus.

of them endorsed Judson Lyons for

Petrified Eggs Are Big as a Man S
Head.

Six or more fossil eggs as large as a
mans head were found in the Copper
ried mine, Nevada, by John T. Read,
the owner at a depth of 200O feet They
have been turned over to Prof Horace
Chapman of the University of Penn
sylvania, who pronounced them gen
uine and said they would be divided
between the archaeological departments
of the Johns Hopkins University and
the University of Pennsylvania.
Several biologists, it is said would not
venture an opinion as to the family to
which eggs belong without having first
seen them it would appear from their
size that they do not belong to the rep
tile, turtle or crocodile family but
might have been the product of the
ostrich like birds that roamed the west
centuries ago. The fossil specimens
show that minerals have displaced the
contents of the shells.
