ty dollars was set aside in the name

ton delegates. who will be here early in
September, 600 or 200 strong.
The adoption of the new constitution
was postponed until the next meeting
two weeks hence.
The new charter of the federation was
received from Washington.
Delegates representing the Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers announced that
settlement of the strike of linemen against
the Bell Telephone company is pending.
In a general way. it was stated that the
settlement would include an increase of %
cents for each man affected. The exact
terms have not yet been ratified.
The hOTseShOers and the boss horse
shoers have been unable to come TO an
agreement, and the strike is still on. The
arbitration committee of the federation
reported the action 1t had taken in at
tempting to bring about an agreement
between the employers and the shoers,
but that a settlement seemed farther off
than ever.
At the next meeting, two weeks hence
there viii be nomination and election of
officers. A full roster, including two
trustees. will be elected. II. K. Russell
the present president, is favOrably men
toned for reelection. 1t is believed that

ton of Allen Burt as recording secre-
tary.

Jeff May Fight Roche

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-Jim
Jeffries is watching the Burns-Roche
fight, which is to take place in Dublin
on st. Patrick's day, with a good deal
of interest. Some enthusiastic Irish
friend of the American champion has
written him that Roche is liable to
furnish the pugilistic surprise of the
year when he meets Burns. and tells
the big fellow that Jem has all the
punching power Of Peter Maher, and
there are few men who ever stood in
the ring who could hit a harder blow
than this husky fellow. and adds in
addition that Roche is more than a
clever boxer. If. by any chance. Roche

is not at all improbable that Jeffries

doubt that with the Irishman cham

is STRICKEN BY DEATH,
SEATED IN HIS CHAIR
Sudden Death of Thornton
WheatIey.

Wholly without warning, as he re-
clined in a comfortable chair in his
beautiful home here yesterday after
noon, the dread messenger, death,
summoned Mr.. Thornton Wheatley to
''the vale of the shadows from which
no traveller returns.
Thus reclining, he passed away
without a struggle, in the presence of
an attendant waiting upon him. The
sudden death of Mr.. Wheatley shocked
the entire community.
And every resident of Americus
feels keenly the loss sustained.
A courtly, polished gentleman and
one esteemed in the highest by the
hundreds who claimed him a friend,
the passing of such a man is to be
deplOred, though ripe in years he
might have been.
Since his retirement from active
business three years ago, Mr. Wheat
ley's health was, at times, a matter of
sOlicitude to his family and friends,
and he oftimes felt that he was fail
ing rapidly, though troubled by no
acute illness.

JOINER IN STRIPES IS
DOING WORK IN CAMP S
LunaCy Plea Failed Him
Entirely.

Attired in new and becoming suit
of stripes l.. G. Joiner, the Americus
insurance agent convicted of for
gerry and sent to the penitentiary for
five years, passed through the city
yesterday, en- route to one of the lum-
Der camps near Arlington.
The crazy" plea, it seems, failed
completely, and the debonnaire young
forger is down to hard and honest
work in the pen He iwII doubtless
getused to it.
With Joiner here yesterday were
several other striped convicts.
The unkept beard he wore while
on trial here in Americus, and which
really gave him crazy look, had
been shaved off when the stripes were
put on him. He wor derby hat
with his new spring suit, and pres
ented a real jaunty appearance.
Some of those who saw him prob
ably wondered how they had been
fooled by the crazy" plea.
Joiner laughed and chatted gaily
while making inquiries about old
friends in Americus, where he spent
six or eight months before breaking
into the penitentiary.
After his conviction, every effort
was made to have Joiner from the
stripes, the plea of crazy" being
made among others. He was sent to
the state farm at Milledgeville a
month ago, but evidently the officials
there did not believe him at all nutty
And their opinion is shared by
hundreds here who knew the young
fOrger very we'll.
