Augusta Man Gives His Five-Year OUI Hoy Too Much Whiskey. Augusta, Oa., Sept. 9.?The death of Carl llobert.?*, aged five years, son of D. ';. Roberta who died at the City Hospital yesterday morning from what was thought to have been alco? holic poisoning induced by drinks of whiskey given the child by Its father, was partially Investigated Tuesday af? ternoon by a coroner's Jury. The hear? ing will be resumed today, at which time Robert Taylor, a man in com? pany with Roberts when the child was taken 111, will be present to tes? tify. Several witnesses were examined yesterday, among them two negro women, one of whom saw the boy take sick, and the second who took him to her house until a physician could be summoned. Levey Vincent testified that she saw Roberts and Taylor drive up In a wagon to a street corner in the red light district, where she resides, and that both men were drinking, she saw them give the boy a bottle, out of 'which he took two big drinks of whiskey. He was smok? ing %}, cigarette, she said.' After a while the men took the boy from the wagon, when he complained of being sick, and set him down by the curb? stone. In a moment or so he fell and his brutal father, seising a wagon whip, lashed him to his feet-again. A second time he fell, this time insensible, and from that time on never recovered consciousness. When the men saw he couldn't get up they tucked a coat under his head, laid a handerchlef over his face and made off. Emma Pembleton testified she found the father, when he had finally returned, bending over the boy's pros? trate form, trying to arouse his child. She took the boy to her home and a physician came. She heard Roberts admit that he had given the child whiskey. The doctor pronounced the boy's complaint alcoholic poisoning. Finally a policeman arrived, called an ambulance and sent Roberts to po? lice headquarters. Strange to relate, Taylor was not summoned to appear at the inquest yesterday afternoon, and for that rea? son, the investigation was postponed. Coroner's Physician Goodrich reserv? ed his statement until the testimony of Taylor might be introduced, i He performed an autopsy on the body yesterday. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE DEAD? LOCKED. Unable to Come to a Decision Con? cerning Convict System-?Filibuster in tlie Senate. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.?The Geor leglslature Is still deadlocked over the question of terminating the con? vict lease system in Georgia. A res? olution wa? introduced in the house today, reciting the history of the attempt to secure convict legislation and the filibustering tactics pursued by the senate and containing a pro? vision for adjournment sine die. It was only through the personal influ? ence of Speaker Slaton that an ad? journment provision was stricken out before the resolution was adopted and the house adjourned until tomorrow. In the senate a resolution by Sena? tor Knight, providing for final ad Journment, was voted down. Senator Knight then began a filibuster and held the floor for three hours on a motion to adjourn until tomorrow. The motion finally prevailed. The contracts under the'' present lease system terminate next March, when 2,600 felony convicts revert to the State. Unless provision is made for their care, Qov. Smith has Inti? mated that another extra session may be called, or that a session of the leg? islature to be elected next year may be convened.

BRYAN DENOUNCES CANNON. PLACES HIS OWN FORTUNE AT XOT OVER $150,000. Democratic Candidate Trains His Glim on Speaker of the House of Representatives, Who Altaekcd Him in Speech at Springfield Wednes? day. Evansville, Ind., Sept. 10.?Heavy personal onslaughts on Speaker Jos. G. Cannon, of the National House of Representatives, were made today by W. J. Bryan in the course of his trav? els through Illinois. The Democratic candidate attacked Mr. Cannon from all sides. He charged the Speaker with being the favorite of predatory corporations, with having strangled re? form legislation and with having fal? sified the facts With regard to Mr. Bryan's wealth. Mr. Bryan reached Speaker Can? non's Congressional district about 9 o'clock this morning, when a ten min? utes' stay was made at Toledo, III. A great crowd had assembled to hear him and the Nebraekan immediately launched into his philippic against the Speaker. Moving on from Toledo, Mr. Bryan repeated his remarks at Newton, 111. Not content with his statements at these two places, the Democratic can? didate for president later on, at Olney, 111., where he stayed for three hours, openly accused the Speaker of telling a falsehood when the Speaker, In addressing the convention, fixed Mr. Bryan's wealth at a million dolalrs. In great delal Mr. Bryan gave figures showing how his money had been ac? quired from the day he entered Con? gress until the present time. He de? nied that he was worth a million dol? lars and fixed the amount of his "earthly possessions" at $150,000 as the extreme limit. He had come by It honestly, he said, through saving a portion of his Congressional salary and from receipts derived from his lectures and writings. He demanded that Speaker Cannon be as frank as himself and tell the public whether he made any money through lecturing and writing and to what extent his money-making had been hampered by itrtot attention to public duties. Not since the campaign began has Mr. Bryan spoken with such vehe? mence, and It Is said to be the first time that a presidential candidate ever went out of his way to attack a candidate for Congress. The entire day was spent in Illinois and Indiana. Altogether Mr.. Bryan made seven speeches, the places at which stops were made being Mattoon, Toledo, Newton, and Olney, Illinois and Browns. Poseyville and Evansville, Ind. The heat was almost unbear? able, but the Democratic candidate seemed not to be affected by It. Wherever he went he was met by large and enthusiastic crowds. Dur? ing a visit to the fair grounds at Ol? ney, 111., he wac cordially welcomed. In Evansville, Mr. Bryan spoke on "Shall the People Rule," the tariff, trust regulation and election of Sen? ators by direct vote of the people. He left tonight for Terre Haute, whence he will travel over the Penn? sylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads to Wheeling, W. Va., where he is due to arrive tomorrow after? noon. t GAX8 UNMERCIFULLY TROUNCED Nelson Clinched His Claim to Cham? pionship. Colma, Arena, San Francisco, Sept. 9.?"Battling" Nelson clinched his claim to the light weight pugilistic championship by defeating Joe Gans for the second time at Colma Arena this afternoon. The fight ended in the twenty-first round, when Gans, beaten down by a succession of blows from his sturdy conqueror, failed to get up on his feet within the count of ten. The veteran negro fighter was severely punished, but the champion, too, bore the marks of the battle. From the first clang of the gong to the last moment Nelson forced the fighting, never giving ground, and gradually battered down his older and less vigorous opponent. Gans succumbed after being unmercifully trounced. Nelson in the final round rained right and left blows to the jaw and body and Gans sank to the floor. Mechanically the now defeated fighter watched Referee Eddie Smith wave his hands, apparently too far gone to hear him count. Not until the count of ten was finished did Gans, ashen pale, his face terribly cut and his eyes glassy) nttempt to rise. He realized, however, that it was too late and fee? bly declared: "I have positively fought my last battle." The tight was spec? tacular and at no time did it nppear that Gans had a chance to win. Time and again he would shoot wicked punches to Nelson's face and body, but the latter never for an Instant wa? vered. Palling to arrest the rushing champion at any stage, ??ans seemed to los,, heart and gradually weakened, though he Often rallied and fought back fiercely. ?If you are a sufferer from pl'es, MnnZan Pile Remedy will bring re? lief with the first application.

Initiated and Carried on With the Help of Leading Neurologists. By the Rev. Samuel McComb. An interesting and, it is believed, fruitful experiment ha*t been going on in connection with Emmanuel church, Boston. The church is Protestant Episcopal, but the work it is seeking to do is human and universal, know? ing no distinction of creed or social station. This effort may be described is an attempt to weld into friendly alliance the most progressive neuro? logical knowledge of the schools and a primitive New Testament Christian? ity as scholarship has disclosed it, with a view to the relief of human suf? fering and the transformation of hu? man character. In the first place the effort is sci? entific. It was initiated with the ap? proval of some of the leading neuro? logists of New England and has been carried on not without their advice and co-operation. Hence it differs from the various mental-healing cults by freely acknowledging that if the mind exercises a profound influence over the body, the body no less really affects the mind. This commonplace is ignored by the quasi-theosophical systems at present in vogue, and men and women are treated as if they were disembodied spirits, instead of beings, as they really are, very much at the mercy of physiological pro? cesses. We distinguish, then, with science between "organic" and "func? tional" disorders, and we believe that the legitimate sphere for moral and psychical methods is that of the "functional," not the "organic," though even in the latter they are a valuable adjunct, inasmuch as they tend to strengthen the resistive powers of the patient against the pathological causes at work. We do not agree with those religious persons who would tie down the divine operation in healing dis? eases to one method, nor do we think that It betokens any lack of faith to suppose that God can heal by pure air, good water, and even by medi? cines compounded by human skill. Why should we tax our psychic ener? gies with tasks which could be easily discharged by psychical Instrumental? ities??The Century. Cheraw Bridge to Be Heplaxed.
