BRYAN TO THE WOMEN Bern cratic Nomime Addresses Min— k. neapolis Ladies. SOMETHING NEV UNDER THE SUN The Most Unique Feature of the Campaign LADIES GAVE HIM AN OVATION The First Instance on Record of a Politi cal Meeting: Presided Over by, and Made Up Exclusively of, the Fair Sex —Ne- braskan Tolls Why He Would Rather Have the Wife on His Side. ' Minneapolis, Oct. 13.—Perhaps the most unique feature of Mr. Bryan’s ■visit to Minnesota was his address at the Lyceum theatre to an audience made •up exclusively of women and presided 'over by women. There were 2,000 women present and Mrs. Frank A. Va lesh presided. When Mr. Bryan ar rived about 10 o’clock the lad : es arose enmasse, waved their handkerchiefs and flags and clapped their hands and called his name—in fact did everything men might have done except give three cheers and a tiger. Mr. Bryan said : Ladies, this is a novel experience, not only new in that I am unaccustomed to ad dressing an audience of ladi -s, entirely, but new in that I have to compete against an other “boy orator.” [Laughter and ap plause], When I am talking against older persons, I have the sympathy of the moth ers; but when I am talking against a younger person I am afraid that the moth er’s sympathy would go out to the smaller of them. [Applause]. And I confess that I cannot blame you, because I felt that, if I were judge, I would award him the prize, even though I were a contestant myself against him. I believe this is the first political meeting where a candidate has addressed his remarks to ladies en tirely in the discussion of an economic question, and yet I offer no apology. On the contrary, I deem it not only a great privilege but a great honor. My experi ence teaches me that the mother and the wife are important parts of the family. [Applause]. In fact I would rather have the wife on my side in the beginning of the campaign than to have the husband, if I could only have one. [Applause]. • And I will tell you why: Because if 1 have the wife I am almost sure to have the hus band before the campaign is over, and if I only have the husband I am never sure of .him. [Laughter and applause]. . Gold Men Without Gold. A lady who was canvassing down In Ne braska the other day gave utterance to ono of the best things which I think this cam paign has enjoyed. She was canvassing ana called at our house to get some liter ature on the silver question to circulate as she went from place to place, and while there she said that she had a brother who was a gold man, without gold. [Laugh ter], She said she could understand how a man could be a gold man who had gold, but she could only pity the gold man who was without gold. [Applause and laugh ter], And you know, my friends, that is the condition in which a large majority of the gold men are—gold men without gold, and when you find a gold man without gold you find one whom you can convert, because, while the gold standard is a good thing for a few in this country, the gold standard is a bad thing for the great mass of the people, and the reason why our cause grows from day to day is found in the fact that the arguments in behalf of bimetallism appeal to the heads and the hearts of the American people and the gold standard appeals only to the heart less. [Applause], The reason why mothers are taking such an interest in this campaign, the rea son why the wives are feeling deeper in terest than they usually feel is because they are becoming acquainted with the gold standard. This money question is not too deep to be understood by an Amer ican citizen. Every great political ques tion is first a great economic question, and every great economic question is at least a great moral question. Questions .are not settled until the right and wrong of the questions are d termined. These questions are not settled until people grasp the fundamental principle, and when these principles are finally compre hended then the people settle the question, and they settle it for a generation. The people are studying this question, study ing it as they have not studied it before. Aye, studying it as they have not studied question before in your lifetime or mine. Study leads to understanding. But to study you must commence at the bot tom and study up. Now. what is the first great principle? The value of a dollar depends upon the number of dollars. You can make dollars dearer or cheaper by changing the quantity. Now, this is a sim ple proposition. It is fundamental, an I ■when you have studied it, and when you have understood it, you understand tue •.money question. The Law ot Supply and Demand. Suppose that we were walled in and hid -enough wheat in the inclosure to last us a year. And, taking the supply and demand into consideration, wheat was worth $1 per-bushel. and suppose the wheat was gathered into two great piles, and one woman owned one pile and another woman owned the other pile, and suppose that the owner of one pile jf wheat should read in the papers that the other pile of wheat had been destroyed by fire and the people, instead of having both piles for their year’s supply, must all be fed from one pile. Now, what would be the result? Every bushel of wheat in this pile would rise in value. Why? Because the demand for wheat remained the same and the suppl/ of wheat is cut in two: now, what is the second thing you learn? That the lady who owns this pile of wheat will profit by •the rise in wheat. And which is the third? That was the other pile of wheat instead of hers. [Applause]. Now that is a simple question. Let me apply it to silver. We have about. $4,000,- flOo.OOOof silver money and abouts 4 000.000,- 000 of gold money in the world. Suppose we destroy one pile and make the other pile <lo the duty of both ? What is the re sult? The d-m ind for money remans tiie same, and stripiy of mon-y is cut. in two. It must be tout the value of each dollar will rise. W len wheat raised in value, a tgishel of wheat brought more n.'. iiey THE ROHE TRIBUNE. wnen money raises in value, a dollar iu money buys more wheat. What is the second result? The people who own the money or who own contracts payable in dollars, profit by the rise and they are very glad of the rise. [Applause and laughter]. The gold standard means dearer money, and dearer money means cheaper property and cheaper property means hard times, hard times means more people out of work, more people out of work means moYe people destitute, and more people destitute means more people desperate, more people desperate means more crimi ! nals. [Gr.at applause], NEGOTIATIONS_AT AN END. North Carolina Democrats and Populists Fall to Reach an Agreement. Raleigh, Oct. 13.—The Democratic central committee held a very impor tant meeting here. One of the matters before it was the reply of the Populist state chairman to the committee’s let ter of last Friday, making inquiry as to whether arrangements could be made to elect free silver congressmen. The Populist chairman, in reply, says he is anxious to see nine free silver con gressmen elected, but declares there is nothing tangible in the Democratic chairman’s letter which can be acted on. He adds that the conditions have changed since Senator Butler .made the proposition last August for complete fusion. It is evident that the Populist leaders could not now, even if they desired to do so, control their party’s full vote, in further fusion with the Democrats. It is regarded certain that negotiations are now at an end. The Republicans are •carrying out their contract with the Populists on congressmen. Both Populist and Republican chair men declare the Democrats cannot elect a single congressman. The Democrats assert they will almost certainly elect three—one in the Fifth, Sixth and Ninth districts. In accordance with the agreement of the Republican state committee to sup port the Populists' nominees for con gress in five districts in North Carolina, the Republican nominees in all these districts have withdrawn. The last to withdraw was Pat Massey of this dis trict. . LEO FELICITATES VICTORIA. Pope and Queen Exchange Cordial Letters on Her Anniversary. London, Oct. 13.—The queen and the pope have exchanged cordial letters upon the occasion of her majesty’s six tieth anniversary of her reign. The pope, after congratulating her and sending his best wishes, thanked the queen for the freedo-n of worship enjoyed by Roman Catholics throughout the British empire. Her majesty’s reply was most cordial. She declared herself happy to repeat her former assurances of the perfect free dom of Catholics within her dominion, and added that it was her pleasing duty to acknowledge their fidelity and loy alty. ________ Palmer and Huckner Coming South. Cincinnati, Oct. 13.—Senator John M. Palmer and ex-Governor Simon B. ' Buckner Were entertained at the Queen City club here by Senator Julius Dex ter, who is a candidate for elector-at large on the Palmer-Buckner ticket. President M. E. Ingalls, S. M. Felton, Lars Anderson, E. S. Bliss, Edward Colston and ladies were among the guests. While many colled on the dis tinguished visitors, no public meeting was held here. The national candidates, Manager Jacob W. Richards and others in their party left for Louisville at noon. They proceed thence to Columbia, Tenn., Pulaski, Birmingham, Mont gomery, Mobile, New Orleans and other southern points. The Castles Remanded For a Week. London, Oct. 13. —At the Marlboro street police court, Mr. and Mrs. Wal ter M. Castle of San Francisco, who were arrested at the Hotel Cecil on Thursday last, charged with stealing a quantity of furs, etc., from various deal ers in this city, were arraigned on re mand, and after a short hearing, were again remanded for a week, bail being allowed in the sum of $15,000. The Steamer Spartan Ashore. Cape May, N. J., Oct. 13. The steamer Spartan of the Windsor line, from Boston to Philadelphia, is ashore on Hereford bar, a few miles above this city. The sea is heavy and the life saving crew will board her as soon as possible. The steamer was due in Phil adelphia Monday morning and she was probably detained by heavy seas and stormy weather. Sutton’s Wound Prove* Fatal. Janesville, Wis., Oct. 13.—John Sutton, who was shot in an attempt to rescue a friend from the Edgerton night watchman a few weeks ago, is dead. Sutton’s mother was a cousin of Chaun cey M. Depew. The young man stood high in Edgerton business circles. The night watchman in Edgerton had ar rested a man and was locking him up. Sutton and a friend tried to rescue the prisoner and lock up the watchman. They had the watchman inside the building when he fired through the door, the bullet breaking Sutton’s leg. Sutton became insane and died from a breaking down of the nerve force. The watchman says he acted solely in self defense. Burglars Wreck m Bank. Brainerd. Neb., Oct. 13 —The Brain erd bank was practically demolished by burglars, who attacked the safe with 1 dynamite. Cashier Smith engaged in . battle with the burglars and drove them , away. No money was lost, but the sa.e and buildings were wrecked. THE ROME TRIBUNE, ROME, GA., WEDNESDAY OCTOBEt( 14, 1896. BUTLER (8 HOPEFUL Says Bryan’s Chances Are Improving Every Day. WATSON WILL NOT COME DOWN • A Meeting of the Populist Na tional Committee WORKING .10 DEFEAT M’KINLEY The Popnlint National Chairman Declares the Georgian 1« In the Vice Presidential Race to Stay—Think* the Division of Electors Will Be Adjusted Amicably. Meeting of the Executive Committee. Chicago, Oct. 13.—A meeting of the Populist national executive committee was held at the Sherman House to con sider the question of fusion in Kansas and Colorado, over which considerable friction has risen. It is probable that action will be taken looking to the dis placement of some of the Democratic electors in the states named and the putting of Populist electors in their place. All the members of the national executive committee were present with the exception of Secretary Edston of the national committee and National Chair man Dorr of California. The meeting was held behind closed doors, the com mittee going into executive session at 11:30 a. m. Senator Butler of North Carolina, chairman of the national Populist com mittee, when asked if Watson would come out in a letter opposing the fusion arrangement made in the west, stated that no such letter was expected. “We are pulling to defeat McKinley,” said Mr. Butler, “and while there is some friction over the division of the electors in several of the states, no ac tion will be taken that will be in the least jeopardize the chances of our ticket. This will be discussed today and I am sure will be adjusted amica bly. You can state authoritatively that Mr. Watson will remain on the ticket. No thought of his resignation is enter tained by us.” “What do you think of the political outlook?” was asked. “Bryan’s chances are improving ev ery day. There has been a perceptible change in the last two weeks. One of the strongest factors in the Republican campaign until recently is now its greatest weakness, and that is the prod igal use of money. There is a revolt among the workingmen, especially against the apparent use of money by the Republicans. It would have been far more effective if they had depended more upon the live issues of the cam paign. As it is now, the money Mark Hanna is using is the party’s greatest weakness.” “What do you think of the situation in Illinois?” “Illinois is doubtful. Bryan, how ever, can be elected without Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota or lowa. Ohio is trembling in the balance. The reaction in that state in favor of free silver is simply tremendous, and it is an even money bet that the state will go for Bryan. If our treasury would permit it we would flood the state with speak ers. If the sentiment continues to grow in our favor in that state at the rate at which it is now growing, there is no doubt that the state will go for Bryan by a large majority. In Kentucky thero is a hard fight, but fusion makes it safe.” CHIEF DANIEL IN ATLANTA. Great I noohonee Royally Entertained by Bed Men of the Gate City. Atlanta, Oct. 13.—The Red Men of Atlanta had the privilege on Tuesday of receiving in state Judge Robert T. Daniel of Griffin, Ga., the great inco honee of the United States. The recep tion Tuesday night in honor of the great «chief was attended by several hundred braves and warriors and the occasion was an enjoyable one. The event of the evening was an in teresting and eloquent long talk by the great incohonee. He spoke of the rapid growth of the order during the past year, of the vast amount of benefit the order had done to elevate and upbuild humanity. He impressed upon his hearers the fact that the Improved Or der of Red Men was the oldest secret order in America; that it was insti tuted before the revolution, and that the members of the order had alwavs been loyal citizens, liberal in their sup port of charitable institutions and fore most in all good works. He predicts a greater increase in the order during the coming year. After the speech delightful music and substantial refreshments were served and the occasion in every respect was an enjoyable one. AN INCREASE IN BUSINESS. Result of Rapid Crop Movement and the Advance and Steel. Chattanooga, Oct. 13.—The Trades man's special reports from southern manufacturers show a steady increase in business due to the continued cool weather, rapid crop movement and the advance in wheat, wool, iron and steel. Railway earnings show an improve ment, and in the bank clearings for the past week an increase of 18 per cent over the week previous is noted. The iron and steel market is active and the advance in prices is being firmly maintained. Some large contracts are reported, especially in steel and iron bars and also iu nails. Pig iron con tinues cneidcruit:-’.-. ay i .iu a or 25 per ton has been made on i some grades. i. Very little change is visible in the lumber market. Business is not up to the average for the season and a num- i ber of lumber failures are reported. The ■ export trade is unusually active. Textile manufacturers are doing a fair I amount Os business and expect an im . provement after the election. The busy se ison is fairly on in the coal mining , districts and business is increasing at a lively rate. The following are among the most im portant new industries: The United States Construction company, capital -$250,000, chartered at Atlanta, Ga., to build and equip railroads; a large cot ton compress at Augusta, Ga.; the American and Mexican Mining and | Treasure company, chartered at Rich mond, Va., with a capital of $500,000; ■ an oil mill at Macon, Miss., and the J. D. Burr Lumber company, capital $25,- 000, organized at Ennis, Tex. A num ber of woodworking plants are reported, i the largest being the rebuilding of the , mill of the Peters Lumber company, burned recently at Alco, Ala., at a loss of SIOO,OOO. i WORKINGMEN IN MEXICO. Long Hoars and Low Wages Combine to Make the Laborers There Slaves. Chicago, Oct. 13.—The Trade and Labor assembly has received the report of the committee (P. J. Maas and Pat rick Enright) which it sent to Mexico for the purpose of studying the social and financial condition of the Mexican laboring class. The report is in part as follows: “The Mexican laborer is apparently content with the four bare walls of his 10-foot square abode hut, with nothing inside but the ground to sleep on, a shawl or blanket to cover or wrap him self up in, a dish of tortillas (corn pan cakes) and frejoles (beans) for his fru gal meal, and in a large number of cases a little pig, a dog and a chicken or two of the gamecock order sharing his scant quarters. Wages, except to skilled and steady mechanics—always foreigners— are very low. . "At Leon, where nearly all the leather goods in Mexico are manufactured, the peon gets for making shoes $1 and up ward per dozen pairs. On the other leather goods he receives 37)£ to 60 cents a day for his labor, working as long as daylight lasts, averaging 12 to 14 hours per day. Common laborers can be hired for 18 to 50 cents per day. House servants, male or female, receive $3 to $5 per month and board themselves. The day’s work in Mexico runs from ten to 14 hours. The bakers work 20 hours. “The cry is raised that there are no poorhouses in Mexico, but that is no in dication of the absence of poverty, as your committee can fully testify with out tear of contradiction, as the voice of the mendicant supplicating alms rang in our ears all through Mexico. “The American workingman is a Srince compared to the workingman of lexica” To Assist the Guayaquil Sufferers. New York, Oct 13.—Zimmerman & Forshaye, bankers, are asking aid for the sufferers from the fire that wiped out half of the city of Guayaquil, Ec uador, which they describe as the only artery of communication between that country and the United States. Hav ing sent a cable message to Jose M. Oarbo Aguirre, governor of the province, asking whether assistance was required, the firm received the following re sponse: “In the name of the govern ment and the people of Ecuador, I thank you for your offer, and if any as sistance can be given by the New York Stock Exchange or others, it will be gratefully received on behalf of the sufferers.” Mistrial In the Seal* Case. Columbiana, Ala., Oct. 13.—A mis trial has been ordered in the case of Mrs. Annie Seals, charged with the murder of her husband, J. Alfred Seals. The case, after one of the hardest legal battles Shelby county has ever known, was given to the jury Tuesday and since that day the twelve men holding in their hands the fate of Mrs. Seals have been trying to reach a verdict. Interest was intense during the time, but the jury was unable to agree, and the sensational trial will have to be gone over again. Mrs. Seals is charged with killing her husband at their home in Shelby county on the night of Dec. 18, 1893. Gambler* Swindle the Indians. , Fayetteville, Ark., Oct 13. —Much excitement prevails in the Indian Ter ritory over the operations of gamblers who are fleecing the simpleminded In dians. The quarterly payment of the Osage tribe was made on Tuesday, and hundreds of gamblers were present with all kinds of devices, from the shell game to the gold brick swindle. Two gamblers fleeced a crowd of full bloods, and their victims became so enraged that they drove them out of the settle ment. The gamblers were overtaken at Turkey creek and killed. Their names are not known. To Put Ecuador on a Gold Basis. New York, Oct. 13.—A dispatch to The Herald from Panama, Colombia, says: The Herald’s correspondent in Guayaquil, Ecuador, telegraphs that General Alfaro, now the chief execu tive of the nation, has presented a bill to the national convention providing for a gold basis, the premium not to ex ceed 100 per cent. Harrison to Speak In Indiana. Indianapolis, Oct. 13.—Committee man Durbin of the national Republican committee has completed arrangements with General Harrison to make 32 speeches in Indiana, SMALLPOX GROWING Over a Thousand Deaths in Havana Last Month. YELLOW FEVER ALSO ON INCREASE Sanitary Inspector Burgess Re - ports to Washington A BAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS, < . Spanish Soldiers Die Like Sheep In the Military Hospitals—Likely to Be Many Months Before the Scourge Is Over—The Report of Sanitary Inspector Burgess of the Marine Hospital Service. Washington, Oct. 13. —Sanitary In spector Burgess of the Marine Hospital service reports from Havana, Cuba, that there were 1,034 deaths in that city during September, 179 of which were from yellow fever.' During the week ended Oct. 1 there were 251 deaths, 43 of which were from yellow fever. Forty of the 43 deaths from yellow fever oc curred among the Spanish soldiers in the military hospitals. The inspector, in a recent communi cation to the bureau, calls attention to the wharf Tallapiedra, at Havana, at which the American steamship Herman M. Doutzaler went to discharge a load of lumber brought from Pensacola. While the vessel was there one of its men caught the yellow fever. This wharf, Dr. Burgess says, “is in close proximity to the old and badly infected military hospital, and is probably, and has been for many years, the most dan gerous place for vessels to discharge at in the whole harbor on account of the invasion of yellow fever. It is a pity that some way cannot be devised to pre vent vessels from going therq, particu larly American vessels and those subse quently bound to ports in the United States.” Speaking generally about the yellow fever and smallpox, the inspector says: “It will be seen by statistical reports sent on that yellow fever continues to be an active epidemic here, and I am in formed that it is so in most of the places where Spanish soldiers are found. The steamers plying between this place and the western end of the island bring on their return trip from ports along the coast numerous cases of that disease. It is reported that the hospitals of Guanajay de las Vegas, San Antonio de Los Banos, Artemisa and other places have many sick of that complaint The large Casa de Beneflcencia y Materni dad, or Foundling and Lying-in hospital has, by orders of the government, been emptied of its women and children, and is now being occupied as a hos pital for Spanish soldiers. Small pox, instead of diminishing, in creases daily, not only in Havana proper, but in its suburbs. In Regia, on the opposite side of the bay from Havana, there are many cases, amoun t ing to an epidemic there. It is difficult to see v hen this epidemic will come to an end, with the influx of unvaccinated people from the country driven in by the conditions of war, and the frequent arrival of Spanish steamers from the mother country with cases of that dis ease aboard. As practically no precau tions are taken to prevent smallpox spreading on those vessels, I am afraid that it will be many months before this scourge is over.” PROMINENT GEORGIAN DIES. Dr. John Springs Baxter Breathes His Last In the City of Macon. Macon, Oct. 13. —Dr. John Springs Baxter, president of the Southwestern railroad, died here after an illness of several months with cancer of the liver. He was one of Macon’s most prominent citizens. He was born in Macon Deo. 3, 1833, attended Dr. Beman’s famous school and was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1853. He graduated at Jefferson Medical college at Philadel phia in 1856 and returned to Macon and practiced medicine. He enlisted in the war with the Macon volunteers in 1861 and was made a surgeon of the battalion in 1862. Later he was assistant surgeon at Richmond to the Third Georgia hos pital and then became surgeon of the Forty-sixth Georgia regiment in the I field until the surrender. After the war he resumed practice in Macon for about a year and then went into the general merchandise business under the firm name of Jones & Baxter. Retiring from business iu 1873, in 1876 he became director in the Southwestern railroad and in 1891 became its presi dent, which position he was holding at the time of his death. THEY MAY FIGHT A DUEL. Likely That Two Well Known Kentuckians W ill Meet on the Field of Honor. Cincinnati, Oct. 13. A special to The Times-Star from Lexington, Ky., says: It is stated here ou what seems to be reliable information that State Senator Charles J. Bronston and ex- Chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee John D. Carroll are on the verge of a duel. The trouble grew out of the late Frankfort convention, when Carroll caused Bronston’s defeat by throwing his strength to Evan E. Settle of Owen county. It seems that Bronston has counted on Carroll to nominate him, and was mad when his opponent was benefited by the withdrawal of the Henry county man. The report says that Senator Bron- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+ ♦ FOR $1.50 I <► THE DAILY ano SUNDAY TR'IBUNE * will be sent until Jan.

Bronston proposed to settle the matter in a personal encounter, but Carroll refused and told him that he should have time in which to take back his objectionable language. Letters have passed between them, but it is stated by those close to Bronston that he does not intend to retract what he said, and there seems no way ont of the trouble except in accordance with the code adopted in settling such grievances. Both are brave men, and if the field is resorted to as the only way of settling the matter, it is believed each will face his foe gamely. SCALES COMMITS SUICIDE. Prominent Citizen of an Alabama Town Takes a Dose of Laudanum. Whistler, Ala., Oct. 13.—Emmet Scales, aged 30 years, an operator for the Mobile and Ohio railroad, one of the best known and most popular citizens of the town, committed suicide by taking laudanum. Scales left his office, where two offi cers of the (Southern Express company were examining his books, entered an onthonse a few feet away and swal lowed the deadly drug.” Five hours later he was found by several friends, * ■whose suspicion was aroused by his sudden disappearance. He was uncon scious and his body was livid from the effects of the drug. Vigorous work was begun in the hope of saving his life, but the efforts were of no avail. Examination of his books by the rail road officials show Scales to be short about SSOO. This shortage dates only since Oct. 3, when he received $225 from a local lodge of a benevolent organiza tion to be forwarded next day. He re ceived sllß from another organization also, but neither amount was sent to its destination. The Southern Express company loses the principal amount of the shortage, the railroad’s loss being less than SSO. WRECKED IN A FIERCE GALE Schooner Luther A. Roby and Three Men Lost Near Cape Henlopen. Lewes, Del., Oct. 13.—The American schooner Luther A. Roby, from Schi verie, N. S., for Philadelphia, with a cargo of plaster, struck near the point of Henlopen during a terrible northeast gale and pounded to pieces before the lifesaving men could get a line to her. All of the crew, except Harry Milby, Thomas Simes and an unknown Nor wegian sailor were rescued. The sur vivors are Captain W. H. Maloney of Boston. Mate George A. Hopkins, Fred Oslen, Alexander Melan and Edgar Lewes. The bodies of those lost have not yet been recovered. Captain Maloney and his four com panions were taken ont of the sea after they had given up all hope. When the schooner went to pieces the five men managed to get hold of the deckhouse. On this frail raft they were buffeted about at the mercy of enormously high seas until they were seen by the lifesa vers. A rope was thrown to them, and the five men, now nearly exhausted, were hauled through the surf to a place of safety. Prlnca Hllttoff In the Windy City. Chicago, Oct. 13. —The Russian min ister of railroads, Prince Hilkoff, the first public man to make the trip from St. Petersburg to this country over the new Siberian railroad, arrived in Chi cago at 11 a. m. over the Santa Fe road. He is engaged in a tour of inspection of the railroads of the United States. He, as a boy, came to this eountry and worked in the American railroad shops and on his return to Russia was pro moted gradually until he became a member of the imperial cabinet. He will be entertained in Chicago at the Chicago club and will be given a dinner at the Auditorium. From Chicago he goes to Cincinnati and thence to Pitts burg, Philadelphia and New York, sail ing for Europe on Nov. 1. Stockholder* ot the C.,H. & D. Meet.

Decided In Favor of Colson. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 13.—Judge Ha zelrigg of the court of appeals decides that Congressman David G. Colson is the regular Republican nominee in the Eleventh district, thus knocking out the contention of ex-Congressman John D. White, who alleged fraud in the pri mary and sought to prevent the com mittee from issuing a certificate of nom ination by injunction. Judge Hazelrigg held the grounds were insufficient. This insures Colson’s re-election. Killed Iler Ha.band With an Ax. Clyde, Ga., Oct. 13. A horrible homicide took place threo miles from this town. Three months ago a young white man by the name of Lommie Long married Miss Roxie Tillinan, front Chatham county. He brought his wile to live at his father’;, near this place Monday she killed him, splitting his head open with an ax. The coroner has been sent to investigate the case. She made a confession.
