By GEORGE FRAZER. By ITIrnte J.rnsed Wire. London, Aug. 27.—A news agency has received a dispatch from Warsaw, saying that General Wenlarskl, gov ernor general of Warsaw, has been shot and killed by an assassin who made his escape. Bpeiinl Cable—Copyright. St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—The “Red Leaders" are abroad In Russia. The official world Is panic-stricken, but It Is much more probable, according to competent observers, that their panic will take the direction of bloody re prisals rather than the granting of concessions. The bold assassination of General Min, commander of the Semlvosky reg iment. by a young girl, In the presence of his wife and children, the futile at tempts on the life of General Kaulbars at Odessa, which failed only by an ac cident; the discovery of the terrorists with bombs In the grounds of the czar's palace, evidently Intent on carrying out the death sentence against bis majesty, all following close on the heels of the dreadful occurrence at the palace of Prime Minister Stolypln, Is all elo quent evidence that the campaign of assassination Is In progress and that the threats of the terrorists are being carried out In deadly earnest. Widespread Plot Found. Premier Btolypln .Is In, strict retire ment for the present, but he Is said to have urged the czar to resist the demand of the reactionaries, headed by the grand dukes, for a military dicta torship. ft Is urged that the f6rmer program be put Into effect as the only alternative for civil war and worse outrages. His two children who were wounded are "regressing favorably. The young woman who killed General Min de clares she killed him for his many bru tal acts towards the people. It Is stated today that the police have discovered In the papers of the perpetrators of the Stolypln massacre evidences of a widespread plot. An attempt was made today to as sassinate General Staalon, comman dant of the Imperial palace at Peter- hof. A man who commlted suicide at the Hotel St. Petersburg, left a lettef saying he had killed himself because of a failure to acompllsh the assassl.

CITIZENS RALLY WITH APPROVAL Central Abattoir Plan Has Made Enemies of Some Meat Dealers. Continued on Pago Two. Several of the slaughter house men of Atlanta will unite their forces and light the new meat Inspection ordi nance which will come up before coun cil next Monday for passage. The tight will be commenced at the meeting of the special Investigating committee which holds Joint session - with the board of health Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. Up until the present time there has been but little opposition to the ordi nance. The retail butchers of Atlanta asked that several portions of the or dinance be changed. These requests, made In writing, were submitted to the committee, and were followed so far as practicable, The reason {or. the fight against the ordinance Is believed to'be that the slaughter house men thlnk-a central abattoir, such as will be built If the ordinance Is passed, will In jure the business of the abattoirs now In existence. However, It le the general opinion that a central abattoir will be the beat possible thing for the cat tle Industry, not only In Georgia, but throughout the South and will mako Atlanta the Chicago as well as the New York ot the South. Wide public Interest that has been aroused by the Investigation brought about by The Georgian, and the de termination, as a consequence of the findings of the,special committee, ‘ ter A. Taylor,'chairman, to have pure wholesome meats In the future, will, It Is believed, sw*eep before It any oppo sition which might be thrown In the way. The central abattoir Is proposed to be not only be-the most complete plant of the kind In the 8outh, so far as In terior arrangements are concerned, but will have a stock yard large enough to accommodate any number of ani mals. The enterprise Is backed by W. H. White, Jr., formerly Southern man ager for the Swift Company; J. J. Mc Lendon, also at one time a manager for the same company; R. L. Walker and the S. C. Wllkerson & Bros. Oro- eery Company, ns well as a number of Atlanta capitalists. The matter of selecting a proper site for the abattoir and stock yards Is still In the embryo. Several places near the river have been gone over and are under consideration. The final de cision will be made soon after the pass age of the ordinance. In speaking of the company and what It Intends to do, Mr. White stated that the nominal sum charged for the slaughter of animals and the small re frigerating fee. also to be regulated by the city council, will encourage the farmers around this section of the country to raise .cattle and will bring cattle from all portions of the South to Atlanta, which will be ueed as a dis tributing point. It Is Mr. White’s be lief that the superior railroad facilities will also greatly aid In building up the cattle business In the South and that the abattoir will be another feather In Atlanta's cap. Not Evsn Strict Enough. "If anything," said Mr. White, "the ordinance Is not strict enough. The stricter the better It will suit us, for without the most rigid regulations we can not hope to get the confidence of the people and cope successfully with the Western meats.” Chairman Taylor, of the special com mittee which has carried on the work of Investigating and of drafting the ordinance. Is receiving, letters dally from prominent citizens asking that the work be pushed to a successful con clusion. Some of these communica tions follow: FROM RANDOLPH ROSE. Dr. Walter T. Taylor. Candler Building, city: Dear Walter—Your proposed meat ordinance Is a good one. I am anxious to see this ordinance passed. You are certainly doing good work In council. With kind regards and best wishes, 1 remain, yours very truly, . RANDOLPH ROSE. Aug. 26. 1148. FROM HARRY SILVERMAN. Dr. Walter A. Taylor.

Atlanta Man Is Told Summarily to Ldave. Edward K. Van Winkle, .the young Atlantan who recently went-to Baku, Russia, for the purpose of Installing elaborate machinery In- oil wells and oil refineries there, waa deported from the country In a mysterious manner about two weeks ago. He was served with papers, through the British ambassador, which ordered him to leave the country Immediately. The orders came from the Russian government. They said the govern ment would not be responsible for his life at the end of 12 hours. No ezplanstlnn as to the action was afforded. Such Inquiries as Mr. Van Winkle desired to make were cut short by Russian taciturnity and red tape. It Is supposed that the orders came from the bureaucracy. Mr. Van Winkle * got together his things, left his business In the best shape possible and departed for Paris. He was registered at the Paris bureau of thq New York Herald last week. He Is now on the ocean returning home. Mr. Van Winkle Is a member of the Van Winkle Machine Company, of At- ALLEGED LYNCHERS TO BE BEFOMPfCTS Carolina Court in Special Session on Lynch ing Cases.

There are several homicide cases In addition to the remaining three negroes ac cused of the murder of the Lyerly family, and the lynchers now under In dictment. When the trial of these peo ple began, six negroes were charged with the crime. The mob hanged three of these and the officers took the others to Charlotte for safe keep ing. Judge Long, on the day of the lynching, said if there was any attempt at violence, he would stop the proceed ings against the murderers and light It out with the lynchers If it takes all the summer. Six were arrested. The grand Jury Ignored the bills against three and one was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary Wednesday, and put on trial for his life. He Is supposed to have taken actual part la the hanging of the negroes. Other indictments In minor degrees will follow. The trial of the murderers will fol low that of the lynchers. If there has been any more to arrest the processes of the court In the lynching matter, nothing has developed of It. It Is generally understood, however; that the mob Is opposed to ‘trial of Gentle and something Is liable to develop at any time. The condition of Della Dillingham, the wife of the murdered Jack Dilling ham, who was the especial hatred of the mob, Is such as makes her trial doubtful. It Is the heaviest' docket in years despite the fact that since the regular term In May there have been two special sessions.
