HEAVY RIOTINC AT RIO.
The Brizilian Capital Looks Like a
Great Military Camp.
Contradictory Dispatches as to the
Fighting, Which Is All red to Have
Occurred in Breaking' Up a Meeting
of Royalist Conspirators—Soldiers
Patrol the Streets and Artillery is
Parked in the Squares.
New York, Sept. 28.—A special cable
dispatch from Montevideo says: Admiral
DaGarna asserts that there has been riot
ing in Rio de Janeiro, lasting five days,
accompanied by outrages on Portugese
merchants, instigated directly by Presi
• dent Peixoto, who incited soldiers,
dressed as citizens, to make an attack on
the pretense that they wanted to break
up a meeting of royalist conspirators.
Rio, it is reported, looks like a great
military camp; soldiers patrolling the
streets, cavalry and artillery encamped
in public gardens, launches patrolling the
harbor front. The number of killed is
stated to be 328, and 213 wounded entered
the hospitals. Many of the wounded
Were taken to their homes.
Most of the fighting occurred near the
water’s edge, and many bodies were cast
into the harbor.
The damage to the property of Portu
guese Bristh and other foreign residents,
will amount to $1,500,000.
, Admiral DaGarna exhibited a telegram
giving this news. It was not addressed
to him, but was in cipher and sent to a
well known Englishman here. The Bra
zilian government has sent out a revised
authorized account of the riots to a Lon
don news agency and also to the United
States.
Strict censorship is maintained. The
soldiers and marines sent against the
•rioters fired blank cartridges, it is said.
' The British minister has asked for a
guard at the legation and residence. This
was granted him by order of Peixoto.
The legation is crowded with refugees,
Who, although promised protection by
the authorities, are afraid to go on the
streets.

dispatch from Rio Janeiro says: One
hundred and ninety-seven persons have

riots of the last four days. Italian and
Portuguese houses have been fired. The
police and marines are active. Many
cries of “death to the tyrant” were
heard. Troops are held in the barracks
and sailors with boats are ready to land.
President Piexoto announces that aid
from foreign ships is unnecessary.
EVERYTHING REPORTED QUIET.
London, Sept. 28.—Business firms here,
having connections in Rio de Janeiro, are
hourly receiving messages from that city,
and little credence is given the reports
.that riots have occurred there. The
cable dispatches indicate that everything
is quiet.

CRAZED BY MEXICAN LIQUOR.
A Georgian Living in Mexico Com
mits a Terrible Crime.
Victoria, Mexico, Sept. 28.—An Ameri
can family, consisting of a husband, wife
and three children from Georgia, took up
their residence on a plantation about
. forty miles from this city. The man’s
name was Frank Halman. Word was re
ceived here that while crazy from the ef
fects of Mexican intoxicants, he killed
his wife and two children. After com
mitting the deed, he made his escape
from this section. The crime was wit
nessed by the youngest child, who re
ported it to the authorities. Halman is
said to have left Georgia on account of
some crime which he committed there.
BHO V BY A HOLD-UP.

Bobbing a Pedestrian.
Chicago, Sept. 28.—Officer Andrew
Hauswirth, of the Sheffield avenue police
station, was shot and mortally wounded
early this morning by a foot-pad whom he

die. The officer came upon the robber as
he was holding up a pedestrian.
KILLED BY BURGLARS.
Grafton, 0., Sept. 28.—John Haney,
barkeeper at the Allen house, returned
from the fair at Elyria at 2:80 this morn
ing. He went to the barroom and sur
prised two burglars. He was shot twice
and died in fifteen minutes. His cries
brought help, but the murderers were
rone. Officers tracked the burglars to I
Elyria with bloodhounds. One of them
had his head badly cut by a glass thrown
by Haney.
FLURRY IN COFFEE.
A Perpendicular Drop in September
Options Takes Place.
New York. Sept. 28.—The Coffee ex
change was the scene of excitement to
day, such as has not been witnessed for
many months. The occasion was a per
pendicular drop in the price of September
contracts. It appears that some dilatory
holders of September contracts, including
a number of foreigners who habitually
defer liquidations to the last minute, sent
in orders to close out September con- '
tracts. At the same time it was
reported that 6,000 to 7,000 notices had
be n started. Three brokers had orders
to sell September. A decline of % of a
cent, or 75 points from the last sale of
yesterday, was the result. September,
which yesterday closed at 14.05, opened
this morning at 18.80, next sold at 18.40,
next at 18.85, and then at 18.80, after
wnich a short notice September sold at
18.50. After this the market steadied up
a little, but the feeling on 'Change is
bearish, and a record breaking drop Is
predicted
Letter From the Pope.

conference to-day the primate of Hun
gary read a letter from the pope direc
ting the Episcopate to use its eaorts wkh
the House of Magnates in order to obtaiu
a modification of the bill dealing with
the religion of children of miwi mar
riages. But the letter added, agitation !

SENSATION OF THE HOUR.
The Small Divorce Case Excites Much
Interest at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28. —The announce
ment to-day that Mrs. Lola Small Jack
son, daughter of Evangelist Sam Small,
had begun suit for divorce in Knoxville,
Tenn., was something of a sensation in
society. Mrs. Jackson, who is a very
beautiful woman, has been living for some
time with her mother on Capitol avenue
m this city. As a girl, the fair plaintiff
was a great belle in society. Some time
ago the public had a preliminary taste of
the present case by a suit which Mrs.
Jackson brought to recover SIO,OOO which
she alleged certain gamblers in Knopville
had cheated her husband out of. She
gained her case and recovered a portion of
the money.
Jackson came into possession of $30,000
in cool cash when he reached his majority,
which was just a short time before the
marriage, which was a romantic affair.
During the summer of 1892 Jackson vis
ited Tate Springs, a popular summer
resort, and met Miss Small. It was a case
of love at first sight, and the pair were
soon made man and wife. After the cere
mony they went to Knoxville, where they
resided during tiie winter of 1892-93. If
Jackson’s gait could have been called
speedy before his marriage it now became
doubly so. He drank heavily, fre
quented gambling houses, where he never
failed to lose, and had a high time in gen
eral, seeming to care little for the reputa
tion of himself or his family. So the
divorce bill reads. This continued until
the spring of 1893, when he awoke one
fine morning to find that he was practi
cally penniless. It was then that his wife
returned to her parents, and some months
after a little daughter was born
to her. Jackson left for Texas, and there
he has remained. The bill recites his
habits, says he would become boisterous
and abusive wnen drunk, and that some
times he would suffer from delirium tre
mens and threaten to shoot his wife.
FITZ WILL FIGHT HIM.
Middleweight Champion Says He
Will Try to Meet Corbett.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—“1f Mr. Cor
bett will say that he does not want to
meet Mr. Fitzsimmons, I won’t bother
him any more, but I will claim the heavy
weight chamoionship of the world and
walk off with it. *See !”
This was the response of Robert Fitz
simmons, champion middleweight, to
James J. Corbett’s statement sent out by
the press association last night.
Fitzsimmons and a crowd of sports
stopped over here for a while to-day on
their way north from New Orleans.* The
champion middleweight was mad aC Cor
bett.
“He wants me to meet Steve O’Donnell,
eh? Let O’Dpnnell whip Maher, or Hall,
or somebody. I have defeated them.
Then 1 will fight him. I shall try to get a
fight out of Corbett, and I shall put m;,
fist in his face yet. There will be no
trouble about my putting up $25,000, il
that much is required ”
KEPT THE APPOINTMENT.
Secretary Smith Charters a Train to
Fill Hia Engagement.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—When it comes
to keeping an appointment Secretary
Hoke Smith should be given the banner—
amid all the broken engagements of the
present campaign. The secretary was
billed for a speech at Elberton to-day and ,
was to have left Atlanta at 7:15 o’clock.
Being deeply engrossed in thought he got
aboard the Central train instead
of the Sea board Air Lino, '
and was as far as Hapeville
before he discovered his error. The
Seaboard train bad pulled out, meantime,
and it looked as if Elberton would be dis
appointed. But Secretary Sinith was
equal to the emergency. From Hapeville
he telegraphed to Atlanta, and when he
arrived in the city again the Seaboard
had a special train ready to take him over
to Elberton. He was a little late, but the
enthusiasm over the secretary’s deter
mination to fill his engagement more than
made up for the delay.
MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED.
An Incident That Would Seem to In
dicate Another Tragedy.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—James Fuller,
a young man 23 years of age, employed
as cashier at the Oriole case on Pryor
streqt, was reported to the police to-day
as having disappeared last night under
very peculiar circumstances. He left the
restaurant about 7 o’clock saying he
would be back in a few minuies. and
since that time has not been seen or
heard 'of, although his employers made
every effort to find him before applying
to the police. Fuller had considerable
money in his pockets and it is feared that
he has been foully dealt with. He came
to Atlanta from Birmingham, having
made a good record for sobriety and
steadiness as cashier of the Oriole case.
THE SHOCK MAY KILL HER.
Will Meyers’ Mother Said to Be Dan
gerously 111.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—The mother of
young Will Meyers, charged with the
murder of Forest Crowley, is dangerously
ill. Since the killing, Mi's. Meyers has
been so ill that her recovery was very un
certain, and to-day she is worse. The
shock caused by the arrest of her son,
the terrible crime charged to him, and
his probable conviction, was more than
the poor womah could stand.
The Bill of Fare at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28.—Senator Gor
don, Gen. Evans and Secretary Smith,
| H. W. J. Ham, the Cracker humorist,will
■ be the bill of fare for a big rally of demo
crats here to-morrow night. Mr. Atkin-
■ son and Hon. F. G. dußignon will make
speeches at the opera house Tuesday
night, closing the campaign.
Populists in Ware County.
Waycross, Ga.. Sept. 28.—Probably the
last democratic speeches in this county
before the electioni were delivered at the
meeting to-day at Millwood.
The Millwood district will poll fullv
ten votes for the populists, and demo
cracy will receive between fifty and
sixty.
It might be interesting to the populists
to know how they will stand at the
various precincts in the county, as they
claim over 800 votes in Ware.
i A conservative estimate is as follows:
Waycross. 12; Braganza, 10; Waresboro,
8; Millwood, 10; Bickley, 15; Sweats, 8;
Waitertown, 5; Gleumore, tt; Manor, 1.
Total 75.
The populists hold many meetings at
late hours at night to capture the negro
vote. The effect of these meetings is
hardly what they wish. Instead of catch
ing negro votes they have caught mala
ria, and it is telling on them. They are
getting more irritable every day and ■
growl louder than ever.
Bishop is shy of democratic meetings
since he tried recently at Bickley to |
speak with Wilson.
Another noticeable fact is the con
tinued falling o f from the populists •
■ throughout the country.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, OCTOBER I, 1894.
MANAGERS ARE MONSTERS,
Says Mr. Erwin, in His Plea for the
the A. R. U. Rioters.
He Says They Set Fire to Their Own
Cars, but Not a Witness in the Case
Testified That Way—The Concluding
Speech in the Case for the Govern
ment Made by Sawyer-
Chicago, Sept. 28.—1 n an intensely elo
quent and dramatic speech, which held
spellbound a large crowd in the United
States court room this morning, Attorney
W. W. Erwin made the closing argument
for the defendants in the American Rail
way Union cases. Mr. Erwin said in
part: “On account of the feeling in
this case, I feel called upon to
say something unusual and not or
dinarily permitted by judges.* I
want to say in plain words, before
a plain people, that whatever the
outcome of the case you have been
fair., My colleague, Mr. Gregory, struck
the keynote of tnis matter when he said
that the act of a strike was one consis
tent with civil and religious liberty. I
say there was no redress from the Pull
man horror, although there are many
who say otherwise. If there was any
thing that the people could rely upon, it
slept. What could they do? Declare
war? No. Break the public peace? No.
Then what could they do? Anything that
the God-given conscience prompts
them. That is the liberty
of this flag. Is not it
a deplorable state of affairs that, while
the press rang out, while the pulpits
roared against the iniquities at Pullman,
no power in the law of this country
stepped forward to stop them. These
people were starving, yet not a flag was
raised, not a drum beat, not an officer of
this government stepped sooth to raise his
hand in behalf of them. The French rev
olution was cited here yesterday. What
was it? It was an upheaval by the finger
of God to get refuge from religious perse
cution. This case will not bo viewed
in the candle light of the Milwaukee or
the Santa Fe road, but under yonder sun
—God’s lamp,' This case is the beginning
of suits, our friends on the other side tell
us. To us it is the end of defensive suits.
We are on our defense for the last time.
To-morrow we shall begin on them. The
conscience of this nation will demand
that a special counsel be appointed to
prosecute the general managers. I be
lieve in the courts. But I also believe in
the people and in conscience. These clients
are charged with setting fire to cars. We
will find out to-morrow who set these
fires—these cheap fires to turn the tem
per of the public. This fair city will
never pay $3,000,000 for the railroads un
til it finds out who set these fires/ I hope
the nation will give the managers an op
portunity to defend themselves. I de
mand that conscience shall be free to con
trol the man whenever it is justified by
God’s law. Between man and his God
there is no mist. When con
science is justified the man is jus
tified. All those things which
people can do which is consistent with
conscience—that they mav do. To my
mind conscience is the only rule to be
' guided by. Property rights must be con
sidered, of course, but when shall the
time como when the rights of'property
shall be greater than the rights
of conscience? The hope of the
American masses springs from God. You
have got to cut off the communication
from the master before you can re-ensiave
the common people. Pullman Is, if not in
law, in equity, the sole operator of the
Santa Fe cars. Pullman was guilty of a
cause to strike, and so the strike came.
If members of the American Railway
Union had a right to strike against Pull
man, they had a right also to strike
against Pullman’s contractors, the rail
roads.
“I have now said all I wanted to. So
far as I am concerned, I am willing to
leave the case to your own plain decision.
1 would rather leave it to you to decide
than to decide it myself. If you should
deem it wise to decide against these men,
it would be more like a crucifixion of the
cause of labor against capital, rather than a
punishmentof these defendants. This is no
time to indulge in diatribes the
general managers, but they are here—
these monsters are here in Chicago.
Pullman set his foot on the neck of the
poor and the general managers allied
themselves with him. If the law does
not do it. God will give these people jus
tice; he will punish the general mana
gers/’
Edwin L. Walker arose to make the
closing argument and the final one in the
case. Mr. Walker said he would attempt
to prove to the court before he finished
his argument that the Americal Railway
Union was nothing more than a huge
trust, organized for that purpose, and,
therefore, ft came under the Sherman
anti-trust act of 1890.
In regard to Mr. Erwin’s intimation
that cars had been set on fire at the in
stance of the general managers, Mr.
Walker said that the whole matter had
been investigated by a grand jury, and no
witness had been brought forward to
prove the truth of the charges. Mr.
Walker continued: “The learned counsel
that preceded me said a special prosecu
tor should be appointed to take the case
of the general managers. I will say that
if you will get one appointed I will be the
first to indorse him.”
The special council for the government
then went into the law in the case, reply
ing to arguments made for the defend
ants. Mr Gregory interrupted him to
ask if the President approved these pro
ceedings. Mr. Walker answered: “The
administration fully approves all the pro
ceedings now bfeing taken at Chicago to
ipake these defendants obey the law.”
Mr. Walker confined himself to an ar
gument on the evidence and the facts
rather than a rhetorical demand for the
punishment of the defendants. He said
he could see no logic in Mr. Erwin’s
speech, and that nobody had ever
denied the right of men to
strike, whether descended from
Jehovah, or obtained otherwise.

~A ~SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE.
Strikers and Manufacturers to Confer
on the Situation.
Fall River, Mass., Sept. 28.—There is a
possibility of a settlement of the labor
troubles in the mills in this city. Secre
they Howard of the spinners’ union has
written to the manufacturers’ association
asking for a conference, 1 and Secretary
Rouseville has sent a letter in return say
ing that the members of the manufactur
ers’ association will meet the spinners’
representatives at 10 o’clock to-mor
row morning. Secretary Howard will
not state why he wishes to talk to
the manufacturers at this time. It
is surmised in manufacturing circles that
he wishes to get well posted on the situa
tion and to make some sort of a proposi
tion looking toward a settlement. The
members of the spinners’ union received
their second week’s allowance to-day.
To-morrow’s meeting is the great sub
ject of talk in the city, and it is being re
marked in all quarters that Howard will
effect some sort of a temporary peace be
tween the manufacturers and the opera
tives.
A great many weavers called at the
headquarters of the union to-day, expect
ing to receive a weekly allowance from
the fimds. Nope had been voted, and of
course no payments were made. Much
dissatisfaction was expressed, but the
officers say they must keep their funds
well in hand for some time to come.
The Sagamore mill weavers held a
mefetlrig this fbrenoon and voted not to
go to work,-but BT9 out of 1,200 looms were
in operation before 12o’clock. The Globe
yarn mills continue to show a gain in the
number of operatives employed. The re
duced scale of wages is in force at these
mills.
Colldctors for the Weavers’ Union will
start to work Monday morning, and will
make a tour of the New England cities
asking for assistance. ,
WILL SUPPORT THE MINERS.
London, Sept. 28.—The British Min
ers’ Federation has decided to support
the Scotch miners in their determination
not to accept the proposals made and to
continue the strike.
COL. MACGSATH DEAD.
Interesting Sketch of His Life and
Services in South Carolina.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 28.—C01. A. G.
MacGrath. judge of probate of this county,
died here to-dav of Bright's disease, aged
49 years. His illness was quite brief. He
was at his office last Monday, but was
feeling unwell; on Tuesday he took to
bed. His disease developed very rapidly
and in a few days caused his death. He
was educated at the school of B. K. Car
roll, the histoidan. Subsequently he
matriculated at the Citadel Academy and
left it to*become an aide on the staff of
Gen. James Connor. He served during the
war acceptably to his commander. After
war he studied law in the office of his
father, the- Hon. A. G. MacGrath. and
graduated well equipped for professional
life. For some time he was his father’s
co partner. He was a lieutenant of the
Irish Volunteers, and afterwards captain
of the Montgomery Guards. Later on he
became lieutenant colonel of the Ribe
regiment of the I ourth brigade, and was
an admirable officer, illustrating his
training in the Citadel. He declined a
re-election. His social nature led him
into membership with several ritual or
ganizations; among them; the Knights of
Honor, odd Fellows, United Workingmen
and Woodmen of'the World. He was an
official* in several of these orders. On
April 7, 1890, be was appointed judge of
probate to succeed Judge P. E. Gleason,
deceased, and in the election of 1890 was
chosen to refill the office for four years.
At the primary held on Aug. 28 last he
was nominated by a large vote for re
election. His death opens an interesting
question as to who shall succeed him in
office.
RECORD OF THE ROPE.
Murderers Swung Off for Horrid
Crimes in the Nations.
Paris, Tex., Feb. 28.—Eugene Fulks
and Tom Moore were hanged here to-day
for murders committed in the Indian Ter
ritory. The drop fell at 2:05 p. m. Both
were pronounced dead m twenty minutes.
The men both refused ministerial
consolation on the gallows, * and
Fulks died with an oath on his lips.
The crime for which Eugene Fulks
was hanged was the murderer of John
McGuire, an old man living at Antlers, I.
T.. last February. McGuire was engaged
working at odd jobs and engaged Fulks
to assist him. While at work in the
woods one day Fulks shot and killed Mc-
Guire, and robbed the body of a small
sum of money. Fulks’ correct name was
Davis and he was born in Nashville,
Tenn., 1876.
Thomas Moore murdered Charley
Palmer in the Choctaw nation in 1889.
The motive, it is believed, was a fear that
Palmer, who lived on an adjoining farm,
had learned too much of another murder,
in which Moore and his brother were con
cerned. Moore was born in Dade county,
Missouri, in 1861.

Palatka, on the St. Johns, twelve wharves
have completely disappeared. Between
Jacksonville and St. Augustine not a tel
, egraph poie was left standing.
The damage to the orange growers is
incalculable. Dispatches to the Times-
Union say that in the large groves the
( ground is completely covered with green
oranges. The loss will be fully 20 per
, cent.
The east coast Is still cut off from com-
‘ munication below St. Augustine and
Palatka, though communication may be
restored to-night. Every effort is being
made to hear from Titusville, Jupiter and
Key West, which are supposed to have
been in the storm center.
Dispatches to the Times-Union indi-
1 cate that the storm was as severe in the
interior of the state as on the coast. It
struck Tampa and then traveled north
east for Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
At Ocala and Orlando, interior points,
several sea gulls and sea eels were found
after the storm passed.
It is safe to say that the s orm has cost
Florida more than 81,000,000, hut
no lives have been lost unless at Key
’ West, Titusville, Jupiter and other East
Coast points.

FIRST IN SIX MONTHS.
Albanians Are Not “Careless With
Fire,” Like Sherman’s Burners.
Albany. Ga., Sept. 28.—The first fire
alarm this city has had in over six
months was turned in this afternoon. It
was an insignificant blaze, which con
sumed the roof of Mayor Gilbert’s
kitchen'. This certainly is a remarkable
record for a city of nearly 7,000 inhabit
ants, and shows our people are not as
“careless about fires,” as was the late
Gen. Sherman.
Pittman Bros., butchers of this city, are
having ill luck with their help. Last
week one of their helpers lost a hand in
their sausage mill, and to-day another
had his hand badly lacerated by a knife
wielded by a white youngster, Master
Gene Clark.
Preparations are now being made for
the erection of a permanent home for the
Georgia Chautauqua. Ground will be
broken about Nov. 1, and the big edifice,
which is planned to seat 2,000 people ,will
be ready for the sixth Chautauqua as
sembly, which opens on the next Easter
Sunday.
DEATH OF. A PROMINENT MAN.
A Sad Accident—Back of a Whita Man
Broken.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 28.—Judge
Henry C. Rippey, aged about 58 years,
died in this city Thursday of chronic
rheumatism. Prior to becoming a citizen
of Florida, about twenty years .ago. he
had resided in lowa, Texas and Indiana,
winning distinction as an editor, lawyer
and teacher. He was judge of Leon
county for one term.
A young white man, named Tillis
Carraway, had his back broken yesterday
at Beaty's siding, on the Carrabelle, Tal
lahassee and Georgia railroad. He was
engaged in the logging business, and the
accident was caused by the slipping of a
skid. The latent report says he is still
alive, but in a very critical condition.
Mrs. George P. Raney and daughter,
Miss Clyde, have returned from tneir

TO GO TO WASHINGTON.
Judge Benedict Signs an Order for His
Removal.
New York, Sept. 28.—Capt. Henry
Howgate was taken before Judge Bene
dict of the United States court this morn
ing. Howgate admitted his identity.
Judge Benedict signed an order for his
removal to Washington for trial in the su
preme court of the District of Columbia.
Howgate was then taken to the private
office of United States Marshal McCar
thy. He was asked whether he had any
statement to give out. “I have nothing
to say here,” he replied, “whatever is to
be said will come out in Washington.”
Mindful oi Howgate’s former escape in
Washington the deputy marshals sat close
to Howgate and never took their eyes
from him for an instant. Howgate did
not seem in the least depressed by his
arrest. He was joined shortly before 11
o’clock by a woman, who is known as
Mrs. Williams at 195 Tenth street. He
shook h&nds with her and they entered
into a whispered conversation. The
woman gave Howgate some money from a
well-filled pocketbook.

MEETINGS AT ELBERTON.
Populists Turn Out in the Morning
and Democracy After Dinner.
Elberton, Ga., Sept. 28.—Judge James
K. Hines spoke here this morning t© a
mixed crowd of democrats and populists.
The crowd was estimated at 1,500, of
which about 1,000 were democrats. His
speech fell flat and created no enthusiasm
whatever.
At 2 o’clock. Secretary Hoke Smith
arrived from Atlanta on a special train,
and made a telling speech for democracy
at Smith’s opera house. His speech wjis
a masterful one. and will have a fine effect
—notwithstanding this was populist day.
They were sick over the failure of their
champion to get up enthusiasm, and the
day was turned into a democratic revival.
This county will give a thousand maiority
for democracy.
WALSH AT BRUNSWICK.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 28.—The great
est political rally ever witnessed in south
east Georgia came off here to-day. Sena
tor Patrick Walsh, Hon. Robert Berner
and Hon. W. M. Hammond were the ora
tors, and nothing like the enthusiasm dis
played at their utterances was ever heard,
here before.
This morning’s trains brought in people
from miles around, and at 11 o’clock all
' business houses closed their doors to give
employes a chance to attend. A
procession of carriages left the
Oglethorpe hotel with Senator
Walsh in the lead, and until
noon the streets were thronged with
people en route to the grounds. Three
thousand people greeted the speakers
with cheers and for several hours sat
listening with deepest interest to the ora
tory.
Hundreds of ladies attended this rally
for the first time in the history of Glynn
politics and held their places until the
speaking ceased. The orators were at
their best and aroused the democracy of
Glynn as it has never been aroused.
Mention of Cleveland s name was the
signal for cheers and Senator Walsh’s
defense of the Fifty-third congress was
magnificent. Berner and Hammond car
ried the crowd by storm.
COAL MEN WILL ARBITRATE.
Operators and Miners Agree on a Ba
sis of Settlement.
Massilon, 0.. Sept. 28.—At 8 o’clock
this morning conventions of both miners
and operators of. the Massilon district
adopted resolutions declaring their wil
lingness to place the questions at issue
in the hands of a local arbitration com
mittee, to be selected in the ordinary
manner, and to resume work in the mines
at once, pending the results of the arbi
tration. Everybody is jubilant over the
settlement of the strike, which has lasted
five months. The main question at issue
is the differential scale of 15 cents per
ton, which up to last May was allowed to
Massilon miners on account,of the thin
ness of veins and the difficulty of mining.
This differential was abolished by the
operators last spring, and a strike re
sulted. Most of the Massilon strikers
are Americans. They are industrious
and own their homes.
BROKE HER HUSBAND’S NECK.
Aged People Have a Quarrel That
Ends In a Tragedy.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 28.—A special
to the Advertiser from Dothan, Ala.,
tells of the killing of a man named Peter
Skipper by his wife. The parties
are each over 70 years of age,
and have numerous grand children.
The old man’s mind has been weak
for a long time, and occasionally he would
try to run away. His wife was trying to
keep him at home yesterday, when he at
tacked her. In defending herself she
struck him on the neck with a board,
killing him instantly. Mrs. Skipper re
fuses to eat anything, and says she will
starve herself to death.

a reduction. The men have been work

pires Oct. 30. Since the scale was pro
mulgated the Amalgamated Association
has agreed to several cuts in the wages
paid bv union competitors of Carnegie,
and the latter claim that they must meet
these reductions.
