THE BROWN LETTER.
ne explained that the letter to Cover
nor Brown was written before the letter
to Mr.. Watson and that the two had no
connection.
The subcommittee appointed to pre-
pare report exonerallng Mr.. Barron
consists of Mr.. Hall Of Bib, Mr.. Hill of
Munroe, Mr.. Brown of Carroll, and M.
Rosser of Walker. 1ilis committee will
probably report Thursday afternoon.
LETTER TO WATSON.
Following is the letter written by
Walker to Thomas E Watson:
During the past year large sums of
the peoples money have been spent at and
on the capitol, in repairs, refurnishing.
etc.
If you will have the legislature appoint
committee Of investigation, to look
into the affairs of public buildings and
grounds, there will be some rich, rare
and racy developments, which will show
Lee Barron UP in his true colors and
prove the unwisdom of Mr.. Brown in
placing such an irresponsible person in
such an important position, just to please
Ducky and the Union City bunch would
suggest that said committee ascertain
IL certain contracts let by said keeper,
for repairs and improvements were not
paid for at one price and charged up to
the state at a much larger figure; or, in
other words, If there has not been COL
fusion between said keeper and said con-
tractors to the effect that If said keeper
would award Certain contracts at a GER
tain figure, he would be benefited and
receive a certain amount from said con-
tract. DON'T you sect
ALSO, let them ascertain If guards. por-
tiers, and other employees names have
not been kept on the payroll and their
salaries drawn regularly, when they were
not in the service of the state in any
capacity. Coal, wood water, gas, electric
lights and other bills and contracts should
be fully investigated.
IT merely put you on to these things.
There is surely something dead up the
branch. The water needs to be filtered.
Yours truly,

TO RUN TROLLEY
CARS WITHOUT WIRES

UNION CITY, Ga, July W.-1f the
resent plans are carried out, the trolley
line from Union City to Atlanta will be
operated without trolley wires, and the
awkward trolley poles along the routes Of
other lines will be done away with. In
stead of the poles and overhead wires the
cars will be operated by the new Edison
storage battery.
Officials of the trolley company are
now in New York Investigating the new
methods that have already been put sue
cessfully into effect. 1t is expected that
the officials will be. ready to report upon
the new plan by September 1, in which
event the line will be opened to traffic
by December rs.
In case the new battery method is not
expedient, poles will be placed in posi-
ton and service from Union City to At
lanta will be inauSurated by the middle
Of December.
The grading of the line from this city
to Atlanta has all been finished and all
that is delaying the laying of rails is the
decision as to whether overheard wires
or storage battery will be used for cur
rent. In the event storage battery IS
used only 4o-pound rails will have to be
laid.

STRUCK BY
LIGHTNING; AVIATOR SAFE
Aircraft EnveIoped in Flames
and AeropIanist Fell With
a Thud to Ground

BARCELONA, July 20.-While he was
making a cross-country flight today Avia-
tor Ehrmann's aeroplane was struck by
lightning and fell to the ground. The
aviator escaped uninjured, which is re-
garded almost miraculous.
There has never been a more startling
aerial exhibition than that which Ehr-
mann unwillingly afforded, and those who
witnessed it could hardly believe their
eyes when the airman emerged from the
singed framework none the worse for his
experience.
He was sailing along at a moderate
height when he got in the path of a sky
veloped in flames, it's canvas wings shriv-
eled up and clinging to the skeleton of
his craft, Ehrmann came down with a
thud.

suit of clothes which were thrown over
the foot of the bed, and yet did not touch
nor injure him in the least.
The lightning also demolished a tele-
graph pole IN front OF the house, reduc-
ing 1t to kindling wood, and fused the
telephone and electric light wires other
occupants of the house in other rooms
were badly Jared and shocked, and ex-
perienced more i'll effects from the light
