GEOLOGICAL BOARD APT TO GO.
ITS MEMBERS 0 FAVOR OF IT'S
ABOLITION.
Some Member* In Favor of Abolisli
lng the Whole Geological Bureau
But the Board Not I nit on Tilt*
Point—A Suggestion That the Geol
ogist Be Put Under Bond—State
Treasurer Speer Favors a Contin
uance of the Survey.
Atlanta, Ga., July 3.—lt is evident that
the state geological boardl is
Weary. They are drowsily tired of their
Charge. The old saying that few die
and none resign does not apply to them.
They want to abolish themselves. Sopi*
members want also to abolish the entire
geological business, but the board Is not
unanimous on that point. The compro
mise suggested by Gov. Atkinson and be
fore referred to, seems to meet with gen
eral favor. He Is known to be an aboli
tionist, but his Idea Is to make the survey
useful, if the work Is to continue. Some
argue that a quietus should be put upon
the advisory board and the geologist plac
ed under bond and given full powers. This,
It seems, would be satisfactory to the oth
ers.
First of all, the suicidal Instinct rules
the board from governor down. Stale
Treasurer Speer denied this afternoon that
be was in favor of discontinuing the sur
vey. H- thought the time had Just come
where it was calculated to be of most use.
He referred to the vast interests at stake
In the mineral belts of the state, and said
they could only hope for development
through state and scientific help.
"J speak only for myself,” said he, "but
the need is pressing and at this time es
pecially the work should not
be stopped. But the existence of a
geological board, though I am one of its
members, seems preposterous. The board
is made up of state officials. In ihe first
place they have such urgent duties io per
form in looking after the business of their
own departments that they have not the
time to bestow upon the supervision of
the survey. Secondly, the board is only a
hamper upon the free action of the geolog
ist. Why, in Geologist Spencer's time the
board was even charged by law with the
appointment of his assistants. Of course
be did not have anything like a fair show
ing. The present geologist has been given
more liberty, but he should be entirely In
dependent, or at least responsible only as
the other state house officers are, directly
to the governor or legislature.
"In the third place, even If the mem
bers of the board had time, they could do
but little useful work in the way of super
vision, for they are not scientists and are
therefore not properly equipped to Judge
of the undertaking In hand. They are
able to audit accounts, it is true, but
the proper auditing office Is that of the
controller general.”
The treasurer expressed the belief that
Dr. Yeates was competent to carry on
the business of his department, but said
that whether he was or not the survey
was of too much importance to be aban
doned. If a competent man had not al
ready been secured, a competent man
should be.
ATLANTA'S STREET CAR FIGHT.
The Mayor Seems Bent on Pushing II
to n Finish.
Athjjpta, Ga., July 3.—The mayor seems
determined to prosecute his fight on the
Consolidated railway, which has persist
ently refused to grant "cross town” fares.
The matter got into the courts on this
Issue and seems destined to stick there to
the end of time.
a of the delay the mayor has made
anew departure and now says "the ques
tion of transfer sinks Into inslgniflcance in
comparison with the greater question
whether an alien group of cap.lalists shall
hold Atlanta by the throat and stop all
street Improvements for twenty-tlve years.
If the lines are separated you will see
S-eent fares and that will be better than
transfers.”
He gets after President Joel Hurt foir
returning the propeny for taxation at one
valuation and representing it at a much
higher figure when attempting to sell se
curities The difference Is what between
•511,000 and 13.300.0U0.
There is a good deal in the case of
strictly local interest, but apart from the
purely local Is the matter of applying the
anti-consolidation railway law to the
street car companies and the antagonism
between the mayor and the greatest de
veloper this city has ever seen since the
Irresponsible reconstruction days. Mr.
Hurt has never been charged with fraud,
but he has accomplished without it great
wonders. Charges of public extortion since
he undertook the business, of the consol
idated have been frequent. No one man
in town is sworn at more than !u.

Nervous
People wonder why their nerves are so weak;
why they get tired so easily; why they do not
sleep naturally; why they have frequent head
aches, indigestion and
Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation is
simple. It is found in that impure blood feed
ing the nerves oil refuse instead of the ele
ments of strength and vigor. Opiate and nerve
compounds simply deaden and do not cure.
Hood's Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves pure,
rich blood; gives natural sleep, perfect diges

< AVlf. HEAR BREAKING JAIL.
One of the Prisoner* Nay* Tom Ilelk
Gave Him a Sun to Cot the Bar*.
Zebulon, Ga., July 3.- Last night an at
tempt to break Jail waa made by Ihe
prisoners confined In the county Jail. The
prisoners were a desperate set of charac
ters, and they were willing to risk al
most anything to gain their liberty.
They had sawed through the irons bars
in the corridor, where the Jailer allows
them to remain during the hot summer
days. When the time arrived for him to
lock them in separate cells, he found, by
looking through a peep-hole that leads
to the stairway, that the prisoners had
stationed themselves at the bottom of the
steps, and Intended to make a break for
liberty as soon as the door was opened.
Sheriff Milner and deputies arrived and
succeeding in getting the prisoners in their
respective cells after considerable trouble.
They admitted that it was their intention
to knock the door keeper in the head with
in iron bar. and run out over him as soon
as the door was opened.
Gray Britt, a young white man, who
was the leader of the Jail breakers, says
that the saw was given him by Tom Delk,
ihe notorious out-law who was hung here
on the 18th of June. The saw was about
the size of a knife blade and was made
of fine material. Tom slipped the saw to
Britt in a box of cigarettes.
The trap door, through which the pris
oners gained their entrance was Just large
enough to let a small man through. The
work of cutting the door was a long and
tedious Job. When one har was cut the
prisoners would cover the cut place with
soap to avoid detection. The work was
lone by an experienced hand and would
have done credit to the most experienced
jewelers.
Tile stock of goods belonging to G. 1.
Akin was sold by the sheriff here Satur
day to satisfy several mortgages In favor
of wholesale houses o? Atlanta. The goods
orouglit 600 on the dollar.

CRANKS! LETTERS TO PUBLIC MEN.
Official* nt tlie Cnpilnl Frequently
Threatened, Hill Seldom Harmed,
From the Philadelphia Press.
Washington—The recent threatening let
ters sent to Speaker Reed call attention
to the thousands of such missives sent to
public men during the course of a year.
Ordinarily little attention is paid to them,
as they are usually the work of cranks
who are harmless In other ways. A large
number of these letters are written as
jokes and with the expectation of causing
a brief sensation. Those sent to Mr. Reed
were evidently the work of some would-be
practical Joker, and their contents made
no impression on the big man. It is as.
sorted that they written by someone who
hoped to creaje a little sensation and prob
ably produce a story which could be sold
to newspapers, and a libel suit is now
pending against a Washington correspon
dent who rharged a certain person with
the authorship of the letters and with
motives of perpetrating a '“fake” which
he might dispose of for money .
These "fake” schemes do not work and
more than one originator of spurious sen
sations has come to grief. It is not so
many years ago that a fertile-brained
young man who had an ambition to shine
as a "new journalist" conceived the idea
of sending an infernal machine to the late
Chief Justice Waite. He prepared an ug
ly looking package, including a cigar box
filled with black sand, lead slugs, pieces of
brass, springs, a fuse, etc., and had it
sent to afie chief justice’s house.
He then visited several newspaper offices
offering for sale a sensational story of ho*
an attempt had been made on the life
of Chief Justice Waite, describing the
"Infernal machine,” Us deadly character,
and all the other details required to make
a big sensational “scoop.”
Unfortunately for the young man, he
tried to dispose of his story before the
package reached the chief justice, and the
inquiries made by the newspaper corre
spondents to whom the story had been of
fered revealed the fact, so when the pack
age did arrive the young man was imme
diately arrested for having had something
to do with It. He broke down and con
fessed that it was a hoax, but his practi
cal joke cost him a tine of SSO and led to
his retirement from journalism of any
kind.
The lesson was appreciated and that
ioung man is to-day a respected members
of the bar in this city.
The person most frequently made the
abject of threatening letters is the Pres
ent of the United States. Every crank
bat imagines the country to be going to
1.. e dogs blames the conditions on the
i resident, and straightway writes to th.
latter, threatening all kinds of horrible
deaths if he does not reform these condi
tions or resign Ills high office. There are
demands for money and dire threats as to
what fate will befall the President if he
does not respond.
These letters never reach the President,
and lit is never aware of Ihe awful doom
that overhangs him in the imagination of
some flighty people In this country. Tills
correspondence is usually turned over to
the secret service bureau and an effort
made lo discover Ihe writers, but usually
without success. The letters are written
in disguised hand* and on common note
paper, which cannot be traced lo the own
er. When, however, a series of letters are
received the detectives are able to And
the writer and p op r purlshm. nt Is given.
Many of the writers, ot course, are harm
less lunatics, an.l when discovered they
ure put under surveillance and restraint.
President Meßirley hits not inspired
trank crarUs with the notion of threaten
ing him by letter. Fewer of these letters
have been received at the white house
during the past few months than for many
yearn lu for.-.
The President is not the only public offi
cial picked out by these letter-writing
cranks. Cabinet officers, senators, and
members of ihe House get their share.
The congressmen Just now are receiving
any number of threatening letters, but
they are signed by the full name* of some
oi iheir eonstl;.lent*. They threaten the
political lives of congressmen if the latter
Insist upon making certain appointments
t.f postmasters, etc. They usually begin
with n recitation of what stanch party men
they have been and of the extent of their
Influence, the retinue of relations they can
control, etc., and wind up by saying that
If the congressmen name John Smith or
Sam Jones for the cross roads postoinees
In their districts till this Influence will be
turned against them. Asa rule, these
threatening letters help to till the waste
baskets.

AN EXPLANATION.
We advertised yesterday that "we will re
ceive by to-day’s express full lines of our cele
brated Crash Suits.” We did this, because
whilst the goods w re in transit from the up
per part of New York state, we wired to
change the shipping route from steamer at
ew \ ork to through express. Having every
reason to elieie that the chan e was made,
we inserted our card. Not receiving the to ids
yesterday, as anticipated, we wired our manu
facturers to start telegraphic tra.or and to in
form us where tha goods were. To this they
replied: "We telegraphed New York to slop
goods and send by express. They replied July
first, telegram too late; goods forwarded by
steamer."
We give these details as we think It but due
to o rseives. We are alwavs careful to give
nothing but exact lacts In all of our cards and
having ta this Instance been led inadvertently
to do otherwise, we desire to explain how it
occurred. Respectfully,

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A LADY IS THE LUCKY ONE.
Green ticket No. 3458 carries off our
beautiful 1897 model 'Remington bicycle.
The fortunate lady was Miss C. A. Wo
hanka of 215 Congress strete, this city.
The following gentlemen kindly acted as
a committee and selected the ticket:
Mr. I. A. Solomons.
Mr. Thomas Halligan, Jr.
Mr. John T. Evans.
We have plenty of other Remingtons on
hand and would be glad to quote prices
to all who are interested in this splendid
wheel.
The Ide High-Art Bicycle Is a startler
in Savannah. Already it’s the talk of
the town and nothing will stop the popu
larity of the Ide wheel in 1898; in fact, It s
going to be a leader for the season of
1897, or rather it is already so.
We firmly believe that in the Ide wheel,
we have the greatest bicycle put up In
America. Examine it carefully.
The Ide has everything to recommend it,
strength, beauty, uniqueness and beau
tiful finish, and Its popular price of SBO.OO
Just catches them all.
We are also sole agents for the Barnes,
the Keating and the Eagle and other ex
cellent wheels.
E. C. Bald, the fastest American bicycle
rider, selected as his mount the .Barnes
for 1896 and 1897,* and as he wins all of
his races, the Barnes must be a hummer
beyond all doubht.
