ESTABLISHED 1887.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON
Be Has Been at Death’s Door From
Appendicitis.
THOUGHT TOJ BE SOME BETTER
A Hard Struggle With the
Dread Disease,
AN. OPERATION THOUGHT NECESSARY
At First, But His Physicians at Last Decid
ed That He Would Recover With
out That Ordeal. ,
Atladta, June 17. —The sudden
attack of Gov. Atkinson with append
iatis, Sunday morning, caused great
alarm to his friends all day yesterday
and today.
Dr. J. B. 8. Hoimes, who was first
called, and Drs. Cooper, Harris and
others called in afterwards, thought
that nothing short of an operation
would save his life.
His strong will power, magnificent
constitution and sturdy determina
tion, however, enabled him to rally
from the first shock, and caused some
relief to the apprehension of his many
friends.
He was slightly better during the
■day, but no change tonight.
Grave fears are # entertained lest
another attack comes after midnight.
It is doubtful if he can survive an
other. .
He may escape another attack how
ever, and the chances are about even.
He was not strong enough today for
an operation, but there may be one
tomorrow if he rallies.

HARDIN AHEAD.
4
, The Kentucky Democratic Primaries She
the Largest Instructed Vote For Him
Frankfort, June 17.—The Democrat
ic primaries in this state indicate that
Hardin has largely the greatest num
ber of instructed votes, and the ques
tion before the people seems to have
narrowed down to silver or no silver.
The Hardin people are claiming that
their chief will force a plank for free
and unlimited coinage of silver into
the state platform, over the heads of
Carlisle, Lindsay and Watterson.
The convention, it is thought, will be
an unusually long one and should the
silver men’s strength be about equal to
that of the gold men, rather than pre
cipitate a bitter fight, the former will
be willing to settle on the Chicago plat
form.

Swindled the Charlestonians.
Charleston, June 17.—A swindler
representing himself as Joseph P. Ge
rard, general passenger agent of Ocean
Steamship company, skipped the city
after passing a number of forged checks
on Charleston merchants for merchan
dise. The bogus checks were drawn
on the Southern bank of Charleston.
Gerard is a blond, about 26 years old.

and stopped at the St. Charles hotel,
where his baggage is held by the pro
prietors for board.

ing room of Miss Lila Turley, the 18-
year-old daughter of Mr. J. C. Turley,
at an early hour and pointing a revolver

or he would kill her. She screamed
and the brute fled, but Miss Turley
gave an accurate description and offi
cers are in pursuit of the flend.

THE ROiTE TRIBUNE.
ATTACKED A DISTILLERY.
Armed Men Attempt to Take Possession
of a Trost Flint.
Chicago, June 17.—The anticipated
attack on the Sohufeldt distillery, one
of the plants of .the whisky trust, oc
curred at 1 a. m., when an armed party
of a dozen men attempted to take pos
session of the distillery. The attacking
party was met by the deputy marshals
who had been placed on guard by Re
ceiver McNulta of the trust and after a
harmless exchange of 25 or 30 shots they
retreated.
Trouble has been expected at the
trust’s distilleries since the recent de
cision of the Illinois supreme court, de
claring the whisky trust illegal. Sev
eral of the former owners of the various
distilleries declared that under the de
cision the plants reverted to those from
whom the purchases were mile.
Receiver McNulta promptly applied
to the United States marshal for assist
ance and for several days each of the
distilleries has been closely guarded by
armed deputy United States marshals.
The Soh,ufeldt plant, where the trou
ble occurred, is located at Chicago ave
nue and the river. The attacking party
secured a large scow and when first
seen by the guards was gliding silently
down the river. The deputy marshals
were quietly bunched at the landing
and when the scow neared the shore
the men aboard were commanded to
surrender. They replied with a volley
of revolver shots and then the deputies
opened fire. Under the hot volley the
men quickly dropped down the river,
and, reaching a landing, disappeared
The force of deputies at the landing
was doubled in anticipation of further
trouble. Who is responsible for the at
tack, the authorities refuse to say. The
Schufeldt distillery was sold to the
trust by the Millionaire Lynch family.
One of the Lynch brothers, Thomas
Lynch, Jr., had been reported to have
declared his intention of regaining pos
session of the distillery and his name
has been frequently mentioned in con
nection with the raid. The officials
the trust and the government authori
ties, however, refused to discuss the
possible connection of Mr. Lynch with
the affair.

A BAD BLAZE.
One Hundred and Fifty Thnimnd Dollar*
Lost and Still Burning.
Chicago, June 17.—A special from
Greenville, 0., says; Fire broke out in
a stable in the rear of the Winter block,
surrounded by business houses, and
spread rapidly, burning up Mozart’s
store, Westerfield's wholesale house,
fhree printing offices, the Methodist i
Episcopal church, five dwellings, a
large livery stable and damaging sev
eral other | dwellings and business
houses, making a loss of $150,000 with
the fire still in progress.
Piqua and Richmond were telegraph
ed to for assistance. Fire broke out in
several other places in the city and
seemed to be the work of desperate
characters trying to burn the town.
The large wholesale store of Wester
field Brotuors is in ruins, as are the
steam laundry. Daily Tribune and Cou
rier newspaper offices, the Methodist
Episcopal church, Deutsche Umschau,
Dr. Matchet’s office, the large livery
stable of H. E. Davis, on the north side
of Third street, and the home of Mrs.
William Sullivan, adjoining.
The fire was the work of incendiaries
and in the excitement thieves looted
the town. Two ineffectual attempts
were made to set fire to buildings in
different parts of the city.
Two persons are reported injured.
They are Charles Trimpie, of the Mo
zart store, and Dell Daugherty, a mem
ber of the city fire department. The
latter’s injuries are on the head, and
are of a serious nature.

ROME, GA.. TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1895.
GREAT EXPLOSION.
A Nev Orleans Cotton Press Is Blown
.to Atoms
ONE KILLED AND SEVERAL INJURED
There Are Eight Other Persons
Missing to Date.
THEY MAY BE YET IN THE RUINS.
The Great Structure Covered Nearly an
Kutlre Block—A Defective Flue
Che Cause.
New Orleans, June 17.|— The Union
Cotton Press, situated at the corner of
South Peters and Terpsichore streets,
was the scene of a terrible explosion
which resulted in one man being killed
and a dozen wounded and seven or
eight are missing. The Union Press is
one of the largest presses in this city
and was operated by the firm of Frank
enbush and Boiland and covered nearly
the entire square running from South
Peters street to New Levee street.
Its coinpress compartment opens on
Terpsichore street and there are always
a dozen or more men around the huge
compress, and it was owing to its close
proximity that so many fatalities re
sulted.
At the time of the explosion the boil
ers were being tested by W. J. Ham
mond of Kosiusko, Miss., representing
the firm of Kelley, Blank & Co. One
of the boilers suddenly exploded with
out warning, and in an instant there
was a volume of hot water ejected on
all sides. The walls around the boiler
room caved in and those men who had
escaped the hot water, it is believed,
were buried in the ruins
Mr. Penrose was standing within 10
feet of the boiler at the time, and he
was struck by a brick and also received
a dash of boiling water in the face.
He was horribly burned, and when
picked up a few minutes later was
found to be dead. Mr. J. Frankenbush
was near Mr. Penrose, and was struck
by bricks and water.
The following are the names of the
killed and injured:
Clem B Penrose, instantly killed.
•Preston Cahey, shipping clerk, scald
ed.
H. Schneider, shipping clerk, scalded.
John Frankenbush, spectator, badly
scalded.
Henry Heffeker, laborer, badly scald
ed.
H. M. Turner of Vossburg, Miss.,
badly scalded.
Laura Jones, a negress, who was
passing at the time, injured by falling
bricks.
Several others, whose names could
not be ascertained, were also badly
scalded.
Workmen are now busy delving into
the ruins, as it is known that there are
at least a half dozen people, mostly la
borers, buried beneath them.
Mr. Penrose was a prominent citizen,
he was a patron of the compress and
was a member of the school board.
The press is demolished and the walls
of the cotton yard were torn to pieces
for nearly a square.
Another Fatal Explosion.
Union City, Tenn., June 17.—This
city was thrown into intense excitement
at 1 p.m. by the explosion of the boilers
at the waterworks plant. Engineer
Carmen was instantly killed and it is
thought others are badly hurt. The
cause was the letting of cold water into
the boiler. Carmen’s body was literally
torn to pieces. The property loss
amounts to upwards of thousands of
dollars. The city is now without water
and lights.
COSTA RICA’S CASE.
She Maintains Friendly Relations With
Her Sister Republics.
Washington, June 17. —SenorCelvo,
charge d’ affaires of Costa Rica, when
asked concerning statements recently
published alleging that the relations of
his government with others of Central
America were not good, and much fric
tion and possibilities of tronble existed,
said that he did not believe they merit
ed any attention, addin? that it was
rather noticeable that such statements
explained themselves and were their
own refutation.
“There is not in the history of Cen
tral America,” said Sen or Calvo, “a
single act that does not show the frater
nal attitude which now as well as at all
times has marked the relations of Cos
ta Rica with the other states. She has
never waged war with any of them.
We believe in the benefits of peace and
aspire to maintain it honorably as we
did hitherto with all the world.
“There is no reason for changing
that wise and ancient policy, as the
only question pending is the physical
demarkatiou of boundaries with Nica
ragua, which Costa Rica has amicably
brought about pursuant to the boun
dary treaty of 1858, which determines
them, and to the award of President
Cleveland. That is all.”
Taylor** Defalcation Covered.
Deadwood, 8. D., June 17.—Gov
ernor Sheldon and Treasurer Phillips
state that property of sufficient value to
more than cover Taylor’s defalcation
has been turned over by Taylor and
his bondsmen. Notwithstanding this,
Governor Sheldon says the case against
him will be pushed with as much se
verity as though it had been undertaken

THE POPE’S OPINION.
What the Head of the Roman Catholic
Church Think* of American*.
Baltimore, June 17.—The Baltimore
Sun’s Rome correspondent sends this
account of the meeting between Pope
Leo and Cardinal Gibbons upon the
latter’s arrival at Rome.
It was a long and very delightful au
dience as the cardinal familiarly ex
pressed it. The pontific representative
spoke in warm terms of the Catholic
university at Washington, regarding it
as one of the greatest necessities of the
day. He feels much satisfaction at the
■ progress it has already made, augurs
for it a great and beneficial future aud
considers it an effective means by which
the higher learning and science may be
spread abroad.
He manifested to the cardinal the
great interest he feels in the republic of
the United States,the future grand des
tinies of which no man can predict. He
has the highest opinion of the upright
and just intentions of its people, and
that without regard to the religious
faith that they may profess.
He admitted the presence and action
and influence of a strong religious aud
moral basis of conduct as guides and
motives among the people of the United
States. Religion and morality, he said,
were respected there, and this showed
how the nation as a whole, whatsoever
religious differences may exist between
many of its people, is one in acknow
ledging the existence aud the authority
of God.
Sunday, continmrt the cardinal, is
observed much bet.rer aud with more
devotion in the United States than
even in Italy. And, he added, candi
didates in the United States would not
all succeed in obtaining the suffrage of
the people if they proclaimed, as they
do here, or even if it were known that
such candidates were atheists.
The health of the cardinal, so far as
one may judge, has improved consider
ably since his arrival and he says that
he is very well.
Since his arrival the American col
lege in the Via Dell Ulmata, where he
resides, has been constantly visited by
callers on the cardinal. The large par
lor, so well known to the great majori
ty of American visitors to Rome—for
almost all of them find their way to it
at some time or another—is now occu
pied with groups of ecclesiastics of
many nations and members of the
laity—ltalians, French, English and
Americans.
THE MEMPHIS TEAM.
B.iebill Games Have Not Paid Expense,
and Dissolution Tbr.-nten* to Follow
Memphis, June 17. The Memphis
Baseball club of the Southern league is
in pretty hard lines, but tbe promoters
of the organization still have hopes of
pulling it through the season. The
cause of the trouble is light patronage.
The club has lost $l,lOO so far aud is
SBOO in debt, making a total balance of
$1,900 on the wrong side of the ledger.
Disbandment was regarded as certain
until Sunday night, when Superintend
ent Smith, of the street car system,
came to the rescue and guaranteed ex
penses for the next two series of games,
with Left Fielder Charlie Frank as
manager, in place of Charlie Levis, ie
signed. Nine of the players left for
Little Rock, where they play three
games with substitutes to fill out the
team. Catcher Lang, Shortstop Langs
ford and Center Fielder Wright de
clined to go
The team will play three games here
with Little Rock on their return and
by that time it is thought that arrange
ments will have been made to finish the
season.

AN ANCIENT CITY.
It Celebrate* an Evant Which Took Place
a Century and a Half Ago.
Louisburg, Cape Breton, June 17,
Under the auspices of the Society of
Colonial Wars, ancient Louisburg is en
gaged in celebrating the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the capture
by New England troops of what was
one of the most formidable fortresses
in America. The army, which after a
siege of nearly seven weeks, forced the
French to surrender the stronghold,
which cost over $5,000,000. was mainly
made up of men from Massachu
setts, New Hampshire and Connec
ticut, but New York, New Jer
sey Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Rhode Island contributed to the con
quest by furnishing munitions of war
and supplies and all of these states were
well represented in the delegation of
members of the Society of Colonial
Wars which arrived here on a special
train.
The town is gaily decorated in honor
of the anniversary, the vessels in the
harbor arp bedecked with bright hued
flags and thousands of visitors that
throng the streets usually so quiet, con
tribute to make the holiday the liveliest
old Louisburg has known in years.
The monument to commemorate the
capture of the fortress was dedicated
during the afternoon.

Gray Gables.
Trick, of the Trade In Silrerwals.
Washington, June 17.—The customs
division of the treasury department has
received from a prominent silverware
manufacturer a letter stating that it
has come to his knowledge that quan
tities of silverware of recent manufact
ure are being imported into this coun
try free of duty as antiques. This
ware bears the English hall-mark which
fixes the date of its manufacture prior
to the year 1700. The hall-mark, how
ever, is said to be fraudulently used,
and results in defrauding both the gov
ernment and the innocent purchaser.
The Emperor Still Determined.
Berlin, June 17.—The Sonntags Post
says that Emperor William has in no
wise abandoned the idea of bringing
about an international monetary con
ference. His object in sounding the
various federal governments was to
pave the way for an agreement respect
ing the part which Germany is expect
ed to cake eventually in the conference.

MORTON’S WARNING.

OUR PRODUCTIONS FOR EXPORT.
Use of Fertilizers on the De
cline in Some States
IS ATTRIBUTED TO A REDUCTION
Os the Cotton Acreage aim the Substitution
of More Profitable Crops For
Cultivation.
Washington, June 17.—Secretary
Morton’s recent bulletin on the “World’s
Markets for American Products” is at
tracting much attention abroad, partic
ularly in Great Britain, where leading
journals point out that Mr. Morton’s
warning to the world should be heeded.
The London Times gave a column re
view to the secretary’s showing, and
adds the following comment:
‘ ‘The free circulation of this publica
tion amongst the agricultural produ
cers of the United States will no doubt
have the effect of improving the quality
of the American products sent to our
markets. It is not less important that
English farmers should know that steps
are contemplated by their formidable
competitors beyond the Atlantic, the
producing and exporting capacity of
whom is fostered and estimated by an
energetic and farseeing minister of
state.”
Artificial Fertilizer*.
Reports from the cotton sections to
the department of agriculture show a
surprising falling off in the use of arti
ficial fertilizers. Department officials
say this is the most noticeable feature
of recent advices. For instance, the
reports run like the following: Ala
bama, Barbour county, decrease in fer
tilizer about 25 per cent; Chambers
county, decrease in fertilizer 50 per
cent; Cherokee, decrease in fertilizer 50
per cent.
These counties are taken at random,
but others show the same relative re
duction. The officials believe it to be
due in part to the fact that the govern
ment experimental stations have sought
to show cotton planters that waste
could best serve as a fertilizer. But it
is said that the change is so great that
it can be accounted for only by the fact
that planters are turning their cotton
lands into use for other kinds of crops.
FOR VENEZUELA.
Mr. Olney Is Preparing to Follow Mr.
Gresham** Flan* Mapped Out.
New York, June 17.—A special to
The World from Caracas, Venezuela,
says:
Every one is anxious to know what
policy the secretary of the navy will
adopt concerning this country and its
quarrel with England. It was well un
derstood that the late Secretary Gres
ham had promised to intercede in be
half of asking England to
submit to arbitration, as Lord Granville
had promised Guzman Bianco in 1883
would be done, a promise which Salis
bury afterwards refused to recognize.
A semiofficial telegram from Wash
ington says Secretary Olney will follow
Secretary Gresham’s policy and will
gnisji q qevy interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine which the latter had under
study, enlarging its scope.
Government officials say the govern
ment has been assured it will not have
to cede the territory between Essejuibo
and Pumpabrima, on the Orinoco del
ta, including the immensely rich min
ing region lying back of it.
The presence of an American com
mission in Nicaragua examining the
canals is pointed to as an indication
that the United States hereafter will
take a more determined stand in favor
of American republics as against Eu
rope.
The government announces that there
is every prospect of an early settlement
of the difficulties with France; but let
ters from a reliable source in Paris in
dicate just the opposite, hinting broadly
that France and England may make
common cause against us.
The police efforts to discover the au
thors and circulators of a revolutionary
proclamation, which has been freely
circulated, directed against President
Crespo were unavailing, though 19 ar
rests were made on suspicion.
The government is denying that
there is anything in the shape of a rev
olution imminent, though scarcely a
day passes without a report of new
rebel attacks on government troops.
NO LIQJOR, NO CHURCH.
A Town Goe* Dry and th* Chnrche* Close
For W**t of Money.
Port Jervis, N. Y., June 17.—The
no license party triumphed in the town
of Wawarsing last spring by a small
majority. At Ellenville, in that coun
ty, the Rev. L. Smith was the pastor of
the flourishing congregation of the
Lutheran church. Several of the pil- ’
lars of his church were either liquor
dealers or license men.
The Rev. Smith fought with the no
license crowd. Now the saloon keepers
and the license men of the congrega
tion have refused to contribute further
to its support, and the connoil has re
fused to be responsible for the debts of
the church.
I’oulon, June iT.—The city council
