♦GARY REFUSED TO ACCEPT LETTERS
She Mailed to Him, or Tho e Sent Through a
Friend—Was He Only Flirting
With Her?
Ocala, Fla., Sept. 3.—One of the
.s ‘ ranges t stories of fair maid’s wiles
and cruel man’s indifference ever
chronicled has come to light here.
Several months ago a beautiful
young woman came here from the
East and at once became a great so*
cial favorite. She was accomplished,
witty and altogether charming. It
was not unnatural that she should at
tract many ardent admirers.
But a young fellow named G ary was
flavored by the fair New Englander,
and he was constant in bis attentions.
Gary was a mere boy still in school,
but he laid such seige to the citadel
of the maid’s heart that at last there
was perfect understanding between
the two.
The girl went to her homejn Mass
achusetts at last, but fast flying trains
carried letters constantly between the
lovers. This continued for sometime,
but absence evidently cooled Gary’s
ardor, for he ceased to reply-to the
girl’s letters. But she wrote con
stantly, and at last Gary refused to
take them from the office.
When a maid sets her head to win a
youth, however, it takes a deal to side
track her. The girl then sent her let
ters in care of a friend who was to de
liver them to Gary by hand. He was
obstinate, though, and refused to ac
cept the missives.
The mother of the young lady has
written to the governor, asking that he
intercede wtth the obstinate boy to
save her daughter from dying of a
broken heart. The same kind of an
appeal was also made to Dr. Clute, of
the Florida State College.
It is learned that the girl is coming
back to Ocala to plead with her recreant
lover. He is very indifferent about the
matter, and expresses'no interest one
way or the other.
The girl is said to belong to a very
wealthy and influential family of Taun
ton, Massachusetts.

LONG IN D ALTON.
Was on Hio Way There When he Heard of
Trouble of Car Thleveei
Will Long, a former resident of Dal
ton and son of Gilbert Long, was e nes
ted yesterday in Rome by Detective
Connally, and brought to Dalton today
at noon to answer the charge of being
a member of the now famous gang of
oar robbers, who have worked so suc
cessfully undta their intellectual chief
Walter Bohannon, says the Dalton
Citizen.
It is said that Long was on his way to
Dalton several days ago in a penniless
condition and had almost reached the
city when he was advised of the trouble
his associates had gotten into, and send
ing in for a fresh pair of shoes stole si
lently back to Rome. It is said that he
was connected with all the robberies
and consequently the officers have
been after him ever since_the scheme
was exposed.
||He was placed in jail and will be giv
a preliminary hearing immediately.
Long is a brother in-iaw of Bird Jones
and has a good many friends besides his
relatives here who will probably make
his bond.

morning, and the lower deck was
loaded down with the finest water
melons ever seen in this city.

Helena, Ark., Sept. 3—The pearl
hunting indussry, which has been ex
citing the whole country, is spreading
all over this end of the state. Tbe St.
Francis river, from the month of the
river to Jeffersonville, is Hued with
white people and, negroes, all engaged
in unearthing and prying open the
richly laden mnssle shells One man
brought a small bottle of them, taken
from Phillips bayou, a tributary of the
St. Francis. They are darker than the
ordinary pearls of commerce, but are
handsomer shaped and of good size.
All the chain of lakes in the hitherto
impenetrable St. Francis river bottoms
are full of these pearl bearing mussels,
and if they should prove to be valuable
the whole country will presently be en
gaged in the business, to the detriment
of crop gathering. Planters expect to
have difficulty in securing hands to pick
their cotton on account of tbe pearl
excitement.

CANAL STORY IS A CANARD.
Nleumgna’s l-ru-ldeut Say* Jap* Have No
liitereritH Li Central America.
New York, Sept. 3.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Managua, Nicaragua,
says: Your correspondent interviewed
President Zelaya as to the statement
that Japan is secretly negotiating with
the diet of the Greater Republic of Cen
tral America for permission to take the
Nicaraguan canal project out of the
hands of the United States, setting
aside the treaty rights of the United
States.
The president declares that the state
ment is absolutely false. He says that
while he ardently desires to have the
canal completed us soon as possible.
Japan has never offered to take any
hand in the mutter. President Zelaya’s
wish, according to his statement, is for
the work to be done either by the United
States or a private company.
Japan has neither minister, consul
nor interests in South America, Presi
dent Zelaya says. The mutter had not
been considered in tbe diet, which met
here on Aug. 15.
• New York Ve.t ’lnkers strike.
New York, Sept. 3•—Vest makers to
the number of 5,006 have gone on
Strike for higher wages. The strikers
ore affiliated with the Hebrew Trades
and Socialistic Labor alliances of this
city and vicinity. Half of the strikers
are women. The demand is for an ud- (
vance of 20 to 25 per cent in the ■wage!
sc-da. I
THEY LOST $8,000,000
That is What It Is Estimate!
I Miners Are Out
From the Strike —Cost of Deputy
Sheriffs to One Company
Has Been SII,OOO.
Pittsburg, Sept. 3. —The settlement
of the coai strike on tne basis of the
proposition now under oonsideratioA at
tb» Columbus conference, wilt have no
effect upon the future action of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal com
pany, according to the. statement of
President DeArmitt. Said he:
"Even if ti.e great bituminous coal
•trike is settled in every state aud dis
trict involved, and all the strikers re
turn to work pending arbitration on a
new price, the miners of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company still
have to fight it out with the company
and return to work to carry out the con
tract legally signed and accepted by the
workmen. ”
In the last great strike DeArmitt's
employes were induced to join the
strikers and it was three months after
the strike was settled before the miners
of the New York and Cleveland com
pany returned to work at the same
price they were receiving when they
quit. President DeArmitt figures that
the strike has so far cost the miners of
' the country $8,000,000. He based this
statement upon the supposition that
100,000 men were out and that they av
eraged $lO per week. These men have
forfeited $15,000 in wages to the com
pany by breaking their contracts. The
fight of the DeArmitts against the
miners has also been a very costly one.
Already about SII,OOO has been spent by
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company for wages aud board of deputy
! sheriffs.
| A body of strikers were stopped by
deputies while marching to Center.
They were ill squads of twos and threes,
but a crowd of 75 soon collected, and
when the order was given by John Mo-
Guire, the leader, a rush was made aud
they went through in spite of the depu
ties. A short, sharp struggle ensued,
but no further opposition was made by
the deputies and the men marched
on. The campers of the Plum Creek
' discovered a spy in their midst and he
Was quickly drummed out of camp to
the tune of "The Rogue’s March.”

from Northwest Harbor, Me., says that
Seth Low has signified his acceptance
of the nomination as mayor of Greater
New York, tendered him by the bo
rough committee of the Citizens’ union.

would be nominated against him and

WAS TWELVE DEGREES BELOW ZERO
At the Summit ot the Tallest Mountain in
America Which Italians Say is 18,-
100 Feet High.
New York, Sept. B.—Prince Luigi of
Savoy, the Duke of Abrazzia and
nephew of the king of Italy, is at the
Waldorf, having reached this city after
accomplishing the feat hitherto regarded
as impossible, of climbing to the sum
mit of Mount St. Elias. Considering
his achievement Prince Luigi is very
modest. He has avoided conversing
about either the character of the work
he and his puriy had to perform before
they arrived at the summit or the scien
tific facts which he added to the former
knowledge of the mountain. When he
returns to Italy he will prepare a mono
logue concerning his experiences which
will, it is said, be of great value to the
scientific world. This monologue will
be accompanied by photographs of pe
culiar interest which were taken by the
party at various stages of the journey.
Some of these, most notably those ob
tained at elevations of more than 14,000
feet, have no equals, it, is said, in the
world. Npt only do they show the
effects of photography at such eleva
tions, but the actual appearance of what
has been regarded as an insurmountable
peak. Tne negatives are in the per
gonal keeping of the prince, who prizes
them as the most valuable ot his tro
phies of Mount St. Elias. They will be
developed in Italy and until then Prince
Duigi declines even to converse about
them.
The Prince’s Spokesman Talks,
Chevalier Oagni was the prince’s
■pokesman. He was enthusiastic over
the success of the exploration. He said:
"You will be surprised to know that
the ascent was not either very danger
ous or difficult. We are all experienced
mountaineers and we had all of us en
countered dangers in climbing far more
perilous mountains than those with
which we were confronted. The nota
ble features of the long climb were the
glaciers. They seemed to be boundless.
We had never before witnessed such
vast expanses and their splendor is un
rivalled. There were many crevasses,
some of them very wide, but these also
were overcome and we reached the top
after 18 hours* hard climbing.
. "Tbe sensation we experienced when
we were at an altitude of more than
14.000 feet was chiefly rapid and diffi
cult respiration. The rarity of air made
the last steps of the journey difficult,
but the weariness was more than repaid
by the view we obtained at the summit.
These photographs will, I believe, open
the eyes of mountain climbers. Oar
chief regret was thut we were unable to
curry a really large cam ra on account
of its weight.
All Kinds ot Adventures.
"The most difficult part of the trip
was from the ‘divide.’ From that point
it took 11 hours to gain tbe top. We
had lots of adventures and every one of
the party, including the prince and the
guide, fell into crevasses, but we were
so well prepared against accidents of
that sort that no one came to harm.
We came down the slope of the moun
tain to the ‘divide’ in a little more than
two hours. There is some danger, per
haps, in this, for the ice bridges and
snow bridges, under the influence of
the afternoon sun, had melted some
what and we were not always able to
trust ouselves to them, but the hazard
ousness of it was forgotten in the excite
ment, which was superb, and set tbe
whole system tingling w'ith the exer
cise.
"We found the mountain to be, ac
cording to our instruments, 18,100 feet
high, I say this, of course, with the
understanding that after more careful
mathematical application we may find
that the height will vary 20 or 30 feet.
While it was cold at the summit it was
not excessively so, our thermometers in
dicating 12 degrees below zero. In re
turning it would have been to our ad
vantage had the temperature remained
at that point.”

________________ *
Atlanta, Sept. B—lt will be remem
bered that two days ago H. S. Perry,
the condemned murderer, whose wife
created a dramatic scene in the gov
ernor’s office by falling upon her knees
aud pleading for her husband’s Life,
sent an invitation to the governor to
call upon him in his cell for the purpose
of having a friendly chat over the new
turn which events had taken.
The governor smiled grimly upon re
ceipt of the politely wordea request, and
•aid to the messenger:
“Present my compliments to Mr.
Perry and tell him that he can call upon
me by attorney.”
Perry relapsed into his usual state of
indifference upon receipt of the answer,
but not, it has just leaked out, before
he said:
"Bill Atkinson is a d - d chump,
anyhow. He is pulled around by Judge
Candler, who has railroaded me through
to death for the political benefit it may
bring him. I’ll not have another word
to say to him. but in my speech on the

MISSING MAN TITrNS UP.
Se nsatlen Cftu«ed by (be Disappearance ot
Colonel Elderkin Exploded.
Chicago, Sept. 3 The sensation
caused by the disappearance of Lieuten
ant Colonel William A. Elderkin, com
missary general of the department of
Missouri, was exploded in a rather ludi
crous way when the missing man
strolled into headquarters in the usual
way. He was overwhelmed with con
gratulations as to his apparent good
health aud was very much surprised
when told that the police had been
searching for him all night long.
Colonel Elderkin. it appears, had ac
companied a party to one of the thea
ters. It was so late when the play was
over that he concluded to stay down
town for the night and he went to a
hotel. His family was so worried over
his absence that the matter was reported
to the police. The anxiety was increased
because of the fact that Elderkin had
been the victim of temporary paralysis
strokes and it was feared that he might
have been seized with one while on his
way home.
