It now ens probable that the Merer, murder UiaJ will tali even a more sensational turn than has been suspected. Informer Mueller may himself accused of having brought about the death of Lad-wit: Brandt, or Ouitar Baam." As sutltned In yesterday's Issue of The New-York Times, the defense will first throw as much doubt as possible on the Identity of the body buried from CO East Thirteenth Street as Guitar Baum." But this task is built on such dangerous lines that it may fall, and the mala reliance of Dr. Mayer's counsel will then. It Is thought, bo to show that the informer, anil not the defendant, was the poisoner.

There will first bo a congest all alone' the 11ns on the proposition thi.t there was any murder at all. If this is so conclusively prored. as It promises to be by the expert testimony offered yesterday, and which will be continued to-day, then -the itand will be taken behind the accusation against Mueller. Unlooked for developments may change this mode of proceed urs. bat so far the Indications all seem to Show that It will be carried out.

Mr. Brooks and Dr. Sullivan guard Choir Plan of defense as closely as they can. but to the cross-examination of witnesses they reveal themselves every now and then. Yesterday Prot Charles A.

Doremus, the xpert chemist, was on the stand, and. in cross-examining him. Dr. O' Sullivan established pretty firmly the fact that, if ft cannot be shown to the satisfaction of the Jury that It was some other body and not Brandt's which was burled, the defense may et up Mueller as the No one can be produced to corroborate Mueller statement that Dr. Meyer put the arsenic and antimonial poison In Brandt's food.

All the other Incidents in the Informer's story have been proved by other witnesses, but at this point the corroboration breaks down. If, on the other hand, the defense admits the life-insurance conspiracy, which has been so firmly established, and says that it was Mueller who gave the poison, there will bo two wlb-esses against one Dr. Meyer and his wife against Musllsr. Mueller confessed In his cross-exanrinatton that he did not tell bis story to the District Attorney until October, after he had been to the House of Detention for three months. The defense will probably try to establish that he never heard of the arsenic being found In the body until the prosecuting officers told him, and that he then invented the story of the five or six arsenic capsules containing about twenty-five grains each which he swears he saw Dr.

Meyer administer. They will allee. It seems pretty certain after yesterday's examination, that any arsenic discovered in the exhumed body found IU way Into it after death. -Whether such a story would be believed by a Jury la. as fu CM taMs far- ceedlngly doubt- uttdaJr' mUm the trial was begun th "1" examination of Prof.

Doremus by Attorney NicoU. He testified to making a chemical analysts of the organs tTiy Irof- Russell H. Chittenden of Tale, and of finding poison wihJ1- Itrcted poisons, to a glass case court- aga "Judging from the manner In which tho poisons were disseminated through the drw Inference as to whether they were taken- into the living body or Injected after death Mr. fctooil asked. "The manner in which they were distributed would accord with the theory that they had been taken Into the body while the man was alive." And waa there more antimony than arsenic in the body?" Much more." In conclusion Prof.

Doremus said that the manner in which he found the antimony indicated very plainly that It Jiad taken before the arsenic professor." began Dr. O'Sulllvan Inthe Insinuating -une he always uses in croexamining expert witnesses whom he -kP" I heels; now, professor. en aid you first hear of this case? The witness answered that he first heard SL'iT? letter which he received from Dr. Winston of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. He afterward gut himself in communication with Coroner Bchultse.

Then he told of his presence at the autopsy on Baum's body. He was sure the coffin was perfectly dry and the IJ wa" ln rood tte of preservation. Jie first looked carefully for marks showing the use of an embalming or hyperdermlo syringe, but he could find none. As the organs taken out for examination were removed. -Prof.

Doremus said they were placed at once in Jars. This statement was made to prevent the advancement of the claim hinted at by the defense that if any arsenic was found In the organs It was absorbed while they were lying on the embalming clstn which covered the dissecting table, and which was frequently saturated with arsenical embalming fluid. utPT July the witness ild he did not see the organs again until ruly 12, when the Jars were opened in his aboratory. Dr. CHare of the Coroners' c-ffic was present and opened the various organs.

Did you find any pathological conditions jn tho stomaon to show arsenical polson- I did not, and I may gay that In ail the examinations I have made I have never found any absolute physical conditions in the atomaeh that would show arsenical poisoning." Continuing; Dr. Doremus said he was not pathological, but a chemical expert. As far as you could see did all the organ you examined look healthy They did." Were there any signs of arsenical poisoning about the liver or the kidneys There wers not" Prof. Doremus said he looked for morphine and strychnine, but he found none. He also looked for blamuth and opium without suooess.

This the State will argue would go to prove Mueller's story that the medicines prescribed by Dr. -MInden were thrown Into the sink Instead of being ad-jninlstared to the patient. The resort p-vona contained all of these substances la small quantities. Bismuth belongs to the same group as antimony, doesn't It, Professor, and might readily mistaken for antimony there was none In that body. tested for it until it became a great nut-on account of the waste of time." jvnen aid you begin your tests?

ln ftent of the he waa bound to find poison In the organs he was examining. I discovered the first vtdencos of antimony and arsenic, however. In February or March!" About the same time. Prof. Doremus said, fe found the evidences of copper.

Dr o-SuH livan tried to make him admit that oie pres-foee of both arsenic and copper micht have ben due to the administration of the arsen-Ite of copper tablets prescribed by Dr Mln-Jea, but Prof. Doremus objected stronrlr to th is conclusiofx. He said it was wrong and misleading. pWell. ywi did find arsenic and you did "Tbut That all I want to know." But it isn't fair," persisted the professor "I found a great quantity of arsenic and trace of copper." -Afterward, ln his redirect examination, the Jtnest strengthened this pqint by saying tnat he had found the same quantity of coo.

A wretch might, with Intent to sccum an innocent man of having been the author of a poisoning, introduce a poisonous solution Into the dlrestlve canal of a cadaver, which would then penetrate by Imbibition to the most distant or-aana from which It would extracted by th txperts. who would bs led to be 1 lev.

Second That little reliance is to be placed upon alleged possibility ot determining between Dost-rnortem and ante-mortem poison by Its presence In the latter case in ths exterior of an organ. From the position of the head during the experiment mad it is impossible that ths arsenic found ln the superior section of ths brain could have reached there by another route than by imbibition through the substance of the organ, Aa arsenical solution, therefore.

IHed," was the non-committal reply. Have you not also known of cases where arsenic traveled from one grave into the body lying in another grave near it X-' 1 heard of such cases." You agree then, with this statement made by Prof, Wltthaus: It Is possible also that It may become doabtful under certain conditions whether arsenic found by analysis In an uiUnJected (not embalmed) body la of ante-mortem or post-mortem origin. In view of this," Dr. O'Sulllvan went on dramatically, walking up close to the witness, can you swear that the arsenic which An.th body you examined was Introduced before or after death" rPed Prof. Doremus In a subdued tone.

"That Is all." said Dr. O'Sulllvan. From the condition of the body, as you observed it" Mr. Nlcoll asked in the redirect examination, would it be reasonable to suppose that the arsenic found filtered into the grave from the outside''" No, the coffin was dry, and very little of the arsenic was found la the outer parts of the body. It was nearly all contained ln the inner Dart.

There was no sign that it had leaked in gradually." Dr. O'Suilivaa took up the question again, but nothing additional on the subject was brought out There is nothing new ln this theory of arsenic leaking in from other graves." prof Doremus aald just as he was about to leave the stand. It is brought up almost every "meacharge.of arsenic poisoning is brought Ch'ttenden, a physiological chemist net witness. He told the Jury that he had made a chem-lcJ analysis of the liver taken from the body of "Baum" and had found 4.1 a trace of antimony. He described with minute detail the care and deUcacy with which the analysis had been made, and the various tests which had been applied to prove that the mineral substance separated from the tissue was arsenic and nothing else.

Ji10 eamined the heart on Oct 18 said Prof. Chittenden. and found a small amount of araenic and a larger amount of antimony." "Do you make any Inferences from the analysis you made? asked Mr. N'lcolL iJrhr5.r,Mv'rmJ ver Plam Inferences." said Prof. Chittenden.

In the first place, is the peculiar fact that the arsenic and antimony were found massed In the alimentary tract It proves to me that those poisons could not have got Into the body by postmortem Imbibition. If such had been the case, quantities of arsenic and antimony would have been found in the external parts of the body. In the muscles there was found a very small amount. Indeed, whUe in the organs of the viscera it was found in much larger quantity. The distribution of the arsenic also shows that It was taken ln some Insoluble form.

It Is Impossible, In my Judgment, that the arsenlo I found ln the liver could have come there through Imbibition." The cross-examination by Dr. O'Sulllvan brought from Prof. Chittenden the admission that there was nothing in the arsenic found by him in the liver which would Indicate whether the poison entered the organ before or after death. Prof. Chittenden hastened to add, however, that taking into consideration that no arsenic was found in the muscle, he was positive the poison was not lmblbltlous.

Dr. Peabody of 57 West Thirty-eighth Street was called next to give expert testimony upon the effect of antimony and arsenic upon the human system. He is Professor of Materia Medlca In Columbia College. District Attorney NIooII asked Dr. Pea-body to suppose of a case similar to that of Baum," and to state from what he died.

The mineral poisons found In the organs by the chemical analysis," answered Dr. Peabody. Dr. Peabody explained the effect of arsenic and antimony upon the system, and said that two grains of arsenlo had been known to prove fatal. At 7 o'clock the trial was adjourned until the usual hour this morning, when Dr.

13. People's Party government Is making more reform history for suffering Kansas. As soon as It came Into possession of the State offices it proceeded to find places for all the relatives of tho State officials from the Governor down to the head Janitor of the State House. Gov. Lewelllng Installed four relatives ln positions with snug salaries attached.

State Auditor Van Prather allowed his wife 8.200. a year as pin money, her position being known in the official Blue Book as that of bond clerk." Secretary of Stats Osborn gave one son a clerkship, and has been trying to do as well by another. Insurance Commissioner Snider allows his wife 11.000 as clerk. Labor Commissioner Todd pays his wife $900 as clerk. S.

W. Chase, the Warden of the penitentiary, has given three of his sons good positions, while other State officers and appointees have secured good places for relatives. Before the last election the protests from the ranks of the reform party were frequent and loud, and the leaders promised that nepotism should be reformed as soon as the election had passed. But the 7th of November incident has caused a change to come over the spirit of their dreams. They have changed their minds.

They are going from bad to worse. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Gaines, will soon discharge a clerk to make room for one brother, while another will be made a State House messenger. Van Prather. not satisfied with having his wife ln the Auditor's office, will put his nephew ln the place made vacant by discharging one of the messengers. In the Topeka Insane Asylum the Superintendent, Dr.

B. D. Kaatman, an old and experienced man. will be turned out to make room for a Populist doctor without a practice. Other efficient officers of the institution will soon make room for relatives and pets of the reform Eoard of Charities.

The reform Superintendent of the deaf and dumb asylum was brought from a Kingman County farm. He has discharged competent officials and teachers and put relatives and friends of the Board of Charities ln their places. The result has been most deplorable. There Is no hope for this important Institution so long as the present administration has control of the State. The Republican minority on the State Board of Charities is as much at fault as the reform majority, and Is silenced by patronage.

Nepotism has become epidemic amonir-the State officials and the officers of every State Institution. Since the election the party bosses openly declare that they will not allow an opportunity to escape to make a stake," as they are satisfied that this will be their last year at the State fodder rack. AN AMEEI0AN AETIST'S CRIME. Gearge Bonn Sentenced In Antwerp for Killing a Girl. It Is stated from Brussels that George Bunn, one of the many American artists resident in Antwerp, was sentenced at the Assizes held in that city last week to fifteen years' Imprisonment with hard labor, for the murder, on June 5 last of Anna Hoffmann, a young servant girl who had been employed ln the house where he lived.

The girl discouraged Bunn's advances and finally left the house. Bunn learned that she was engaged to a young German named Boutman. and was to be married ln July. On June he forced his way Into a house ln the Rue Bscant. where the Hoffmann girl was staying, and shot her dead.

The defense set up was that Bunn was subject to periods of mental aberration, the result of a wound he received ln the head while serving ln the Federal Army during the civil war, and that during such periods he was not responsible fur his actions. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of guiity, with a recommendation to mercy because of extenuating circumstances. Bunn was born in this city forty-five years aeo, but while still young his parents removed to L'tica, this State, where he resided, with the exception of six years, until about eight years ao. At the age of fifteen Bunn enlisted in a New-York cavalry regiment, serving thr-e years as bugler. He was wounded in the head.

After leaving the army he Ferved three years on the Pacific station on the Pensacola. Returning to L'tica. lie set up business as a sign pointer, now and arain, in desultory fashl painting marine pictures, which he sll amuiiK his acnua-iiitanc-s. These 1 so much merit that he received many offers to go abroad and perfect himself In his art. but he preferred his bohemian life in L'tica, painting signs for a living and sketches for amusement.

He was naturally indolent. A few years ago he removed to Hartford. Conn. He obtained employment with a firm of picture dealers In that city, who sent him to Kurope. Bunn went first to Brussels, but finally drifted to Antwerp, where he found, along the docks an 1 canals, the class of subjects which suited his talent Many of his pictures he pent to the Hartford firm, which found a ready sale for them.

COULD NOT FIND THE EUBGLAR. Hovr Charles White Came to Overlook the Man Under the lied. A trio of well-dressed young men were arraigned yesterday before Police Justice Connelly -In Brooklyn charged with burglary. On the confession of one of them all were held for the Grand Jury. The prisoners were Charles A.

White, twenty-one years; George K. Allen, twenty-three years, and Ralph Allen, twenty-one years. White Is the nephew of Jacob Archer, a wealthy' bookbinder, who lives at 4Zi Greene Avenue. On the night of Nov. 23, while White was dining with his uncle's family, the house was entered by George F.

Allen, who ransacked the premises and was captured while hiding under a bed. The police arrested him and his brother Ralph, who stood outside the house, and also White, whom they implicated. George Allen yesterday explained how the robbery came to take place. He said that White came to him and his brother Raiph and said he had been invited to dine that night at his uncle's house. White proposed that while he was in the house he should leave the front door open so that the others might enter it and ransack it while the inmates were at dinner.

White contrived te unlock the front door just before the evening meal. Then George Allen slipped into the house and seized everything valuable that he could conveniently carry. He made so much noise, though, that the family heard him, and the meal was suspended while a search was made. Alien got as far as the top floor, and then crawled under a bed. White was the most active searcher, but reported that he could find nobody.

Policeman Davey, however, was called and found Allen ln his hiding place. Raiph was also arrested, and White- waa taken in custody. For Another Harlem River Bridge. The effort to get a bridge across the Harlem Rive? at First Avenue has been resumed. Commissioner Louis P.

Dear Birt By way of Introduction, let me aay that I represent probably the largest cigar factory In tha United States, aa well aa being the I arrest tobacco grower.

I trust, therefore, you will not consider It presumptuous ln my having a few words to aay aa to th proponed tariff on tobacco. It Is not true that the number of elaar manufacturers has been reduced or crushed out in the United States because of th present tariff; neither is it true that th output of dgara has diminished in number. That ruch is not ao can ascertained by examining the returna of the Internal Revenue Department. Neither do I be-llev that the Importation of tobacco has decreased, but the actual revenue derived from tobacco removed from bond la doubtlma less than it waa immediately prior to the MeKtnley bill becoming a law. Then every hale of Sumatra wrappers was taken out of bnnd.

and now there are probably from 30,000 to J5.1") bales of Sumatra wrappers' In bond, which are withdrawn aa required. The Government looks upon tobacco, doubtleas, aa one of ttiose articles of luxury from which It Is proposed to derive a certain revenue. I have nothing to aay as to what that revenue ahould be. but I do protest airatnat a law being enacted by which there will be a premium placed upon fraud, and a law the equtiahle enforcement of which will be simply tmpnsstble. The law aa it stands at present is very clear at to exacting that all tobacco suitable for wrappers shall pay a duty of $2 per pound, and sull the Government see ma unable to enforce thia law ln a manner that would do justice to all alike.

Very frequently tobacco that ia considered a wrapper ln Nw-York. and has been so appraised, is shipped to Canada In bond, and from Canada shipped again to some other point, (to Chicago, for example,) where it passes at 35 centa a pound, and thence the tobacco llnd lta way back Xo New-York. There la no one ln our trade who la expert enough to determine accurately Just what constitutes a wrapper, aa It is commercially known. The term is misleading. A wrapper, aa I understand H.

Is the cover for the outside of a ciBar; it is a question of slie and texture, and the use to be made of It. What one man may rut on the outside of a cigar as a wrapper, hta neighbor would not dream of using for the same purpose. The wrappers on cigars made In the United States cost the manufacturers anywhere from II to 15, or even Ii0 a thousand. The Revenue department recently sent out an inquiry to the number of clear Havana eirars made by each manufacturer, and they doubt-lens know how much that represents, but you will tind that there were not lena than lou.uon.) to l.ftOO.OM clear Havana ulgara made In the United States during the last year, or on which there wer uaed Havana wrappers as a cover. Now, if you wUl look over the custom's returns, you will astonished to find how small ia the number of pounds of Havana wrapper (and ln some cares of Mexican wrapper) which have paid the duty of fl per pound that the law requires.

You will find the quantity of Havana wrappers imporuai ridiculously small aa compared with the quantity used and still the law ia very explicit on that head. 1 a portion of a bate constats of wrafpefa, the whole is subject to a duty of i per oound. The law. a you propose it. would, in Ihe first place, discriminate against the manufacturer who usi Sumatra wrappers, all of which would doubtless have to pay the II per pound.

None of the Havana tobacco, or Mexican tobai-cn, Cuming to this country would pay more than cents. Why discriminate in favor of on, class of manufacturers in the United States who constitute a wry small proportion of tile whole, or why in favor of the Island of Cuba. ex tiudes our altogether, and imposes on lis own pr luct. an export duty 1 think the entire trade unwilling to pay the revenue such us tie tlovernmer.t limy em wise to collect from ibuoco l-ut 1 thiiiK It best that the tjovernmen: ailix the duty by law. rat her than leave It to the judgment of the various appraisers, who may le honest, yet it wouiii be largely left to their jii.

And why eould this not he; What special privileges ne-d ue extend to fuba, from which we doubtless rec-iv threefold more than they take fr.

us? rfupjtose you desire to imioe the greater tax jn the well-to-do in the t'nited states, an-i to have the hurden of taxation rest an iJijhtly as possible upon the masses. If this principle is cor-ret t. then the quest: a ii be. how" to accomplish It example, that you were to plj. duty SI P--r pound jn all tobacco and.

of course, an additional duty of about i0 cents per pound on sltin tobacco, b't us see what tha results would lie. It takes about pounds vjt Sumatra to cover the outside of l.Oou citrars. A reduction of II in the duty would meHn that all cigars from about $30 down, on hich Sumatra rappt rs are ucd, would be i'A per thousand ctw-uper. or. in other words, the article that the mas- consume would be 1 wer In price.

The cijarx from 125 upward, witli Havana filler as wil as Sumatra, wrapper for their component parts, and the tax of SI per pound on all tobacco, would mean that there would be a saving of So per thousand on the duty of the wrapper, and iC.l?) additional duty -m the filler, as compared with wrat is beinff paid at present. By deducting the saving of J3 from the additional cost of It wjuld make the higher srade cigars est mire per thousand, or. in olh-r words, the i ernraent. without Imposing any additional lntern.il revenue on cigars, which would be v-ry severe. felt on' the low'er-prtced article, would, by affixing a uniform fiutv on tobacco in accordar.ee with the revenue which it is sought to derive from this article, actually lower the price of all cigars from S3J down, and but very' slightly Increase th coot of the higher-priced article, say.

from up. and in no case woull thia increase be more than per thousand. 1 simply' use SI as a fljnire by way -f illustration. Make the duty anythln you please that wtll give the Government toe revenue that is expected from cigars and tobacco, but don't increase the Internal revenue tax. and whatever the tariff may b.

let It be uniform on all tobacco. By doing this you will auUe a great problem and satisfy th- elgnr Industry', and 1 think the bacco growers will have no Just reason to complain. V-ry truly ycurs GEORGE STURM. New-York. Xec.

IMPOST AST T0KPED0 TEST8, jrTel Kxpevtaaeata tt be Mas Tate Week at the Stwscrt Statlesu NEWPORT. R. Dec. IX A eerie of Interesting experiments ia soon to be' begun off the torpedo station ln thia harbor. Upon the result depends the purchase of the several submarine torpedo boats, bids for the construction of which are now ia possession of the Navy Department.

The experiments will be conducted by Commander George A. Converse, commandant of the torpedo station. They are to determine, to use the language of the order. what would be the effect upon a crew of a submerged boat of the detonation of high explosives under, water and near by." The hull or an old Ray torpedo will be submerged to a depth of twelve feet, and a mass of guncotton will be exploded near It- The amount of explosive material will be 100 pounds wet. or 90 pounds dry.

This is equal to the amount of explosive In the Whitehead torpedo. The first explosion will be made 100 feet away from the submerged boat. The torpedo then will be moved up In noted distances till the effect of the explosion Is dear and may be easily determined. The Ray boat is about 30 feet long, cigar-shaped, and about 40 inches in diameter. The firing will tak place In the Outer harbor, and It Is probable that only one explosion per day can be satisfactorily made.

The great Importance of the experiments may.be appreciated when It Is known that the Secretary of the Navy says that he Is not diapoeed to consider the bids for the construction of the submarine boats which are now In his hands till it shall be determined what the effect of explosions near by would be upon the crews. Nowhere ln the world have such experiments aa these been made. English naval authorities have placed live animals In the hull of an ordinary vessel to determine what effect explosions near by would have upon them, but never have such tests been made upon boats wholly submerged. TTh continuance of the comparative tests of the resistance of Engilsh and American torpedo nets has been authorixed by the Bureau of Ordnance, and will be resumed early in the Spring. Satisfactory weather condrtkms may not now reasonably be looked for.

These tests were begun off the torpedo station last Fall, but were necessarily discontinued because of the departure of the Destroyer, with little accomplished. Whitehead torpedoes will be used in the next experiments. They will be driven at the nets from their regular firing tubes. Old torpedoes, valuable for no other purpose, will be used, and their war heads will be filled with 110 pounds of Iron. Fifty-five Whitehead torpekes have now been fully prepared for Issue, and are stored at the torpedo station.

They represent a great value in money, and are therefore divided Into several lots and stored ln several places, so that only a portion would be damaged by any fire or other accident that might occur. The torpedo boat dishing, while at Washington, will be hauled out, scraped, painted, and thoroughly repaired. She will return here about the middle of April to continue experimenting with Whitehead torpedoes. The commandant of the torpedo station Is Informed bv the department that Shon Ting and Ferg Sben of the Chinese Legation at Washington will -lalt the torpedo station this week. TRIED TO 8EIZE HIS WIFE.

William Strohhoafor and His Brother-in-Lw Have a Toaals. William Strohhoefer on Tuesday went before Judge Ingraham. In Supreme Court, Chambers, and asked for a writ of habeas corpus. In order that he might obtain his wife. Lucy.

who. he said, was detained against her will at the home of her father, Henry Koelle. 30 East Eighty-sixth Street. The writ Was granted, and yesterday morning Mrs. Strohhoefer was brought into court by her mother.

She was accompanied by her brother and a lawyer. Young Mr. Strohhoefer also had a lawyer. Each lawyer argued that his client should have possession of the young woman. Judge Ingraham refused to Interfere, and told Mrs.

Strohhoefer that she waa free to go where she pleased. The Judge Insisted that Mrs. Strohhoefer should leave the courtroom alone. The young woman walked out and the Judge -said the others might go also. Young Strohhoefer rushed after his wife and caught her in the corridor.

"Oh, Lucy! Lucy!" he exclaimed, as be seized her in his arms and tried to draw her away. The yountr woman gave a shriek, and her sixteen-year-old brother came running Ui at full speed. l.t her go! It her go! he shouted to Strohhoefer. The husband clung to his wife and attempted to drag ber along the corridor, all the while trying to free himself from the boy's grasp. Strohhoefer was compelled to release his wife, and she immediately ran to the other side of the corridor, shouting: He shan't come near me! He'll never see me again! ThA young woman's lawyer took her tr.

her mother, and they dinppeared through one entrance while younjf Strohhoefer went In another direction. Tho couple were married An-. in St Francis Xavier Church. Strohhoefer says his wife wants to live with him. but is prevented by her mother.

ATLANTA. Dec. S. Clay President of the Senate, has announced that he will not be a candidate for Oovern-or. He is a ycung man who has a great personal following and has been regarded as a strong candidate.

Other candidates are Gen. C. S. Evans, W. H.

Atkinson, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Evans has announced himself a candidate, but Atkinson has not. Atkinson and Clay are political friends and It has been known for some time that one or the other would withdraw-so that their forces might combine against Evans. it if there has been alich a deal It Is not goins to succeed, unless ail atnu fail A great deal of Clay atresia wUl go to Lvans. There are indications of a concentrated eflort on the part of leaders from all parts of the State to force Atkinson to follow Clay example for the sake of party harmony.

The effort might succeed, but those Who know Atkir.son best tr Evans is a Confederate veteran and is now commander of the Department of Georgia of the I'nited Confederate Veterans. He is also a minister of the Methodist t'hurch, and combines, therefore, two of the strongest elements In Georgia polities. Atkinson la probably the shrewdest politician hi the Slate.

Manager J.

Wesley Rosencjuest has concluded that JLoo Is too much to ask for a seat at a down-town theatre when times ar so hard as they are now. The people who patronize the theatres in the lower part of tha city are as a rule of the working- classes, and the plays presented have generally oeen produced at the up-tuwo houses, where high prices are uharged. before they are seen at- the houses lower down. Mr. Kosenquest thinks that there is more money to be made by placing1 the attractions In th Fourteenth Street Theatre at prices within the reach of all the natural patrons of that house than in maintaining a high scale of prices and drawing small audience.

He baa decided, therefore, to make the Fourteenth Street a popular priced theatre In the future. Beglnniag next Monday, when A Flag of Truce will open for a week's season In th bouse, the best orchestra seats will be sold for ti. and the price of other seats will rang from 75 to 25 centa. Theacale will be a permanent one. so lung as Mr.
