SPAIN’S ANARCHISTS.
A FIERY TUMULT CREATED BY
THEM IN MADRID.
A Woman Mounted tho Platform and
Preached Powder and Balls to
the Maddened Throng.
Madrid, Jan. 3.—Fifteen hundred
anarchists held a reunion Sunday even
ing in Barcelona to celebrate the New
Year. There was much incendiary
talk, and several of the speakers pre
dicted a reign of bloodshed and terror
in Spain during the year just opened.
The loading anarchist, one Volas, de
clared that ho meant to inaugurate 1893
with a baptism of blood. Great shouts
as approval and torrents of denuncia
tion of the grandees and middle classes
followed this declaration.
A female anarchist named Theresa
Claremunt sprung to the platform. She
is as fierce an enemy of the established
order of things as Louise Michael, and
a good deal handsomer.
“Go Home,” She Criod,
with flashing eyes and tossing hair, “go
home for tha present and save the cen
times your oppressors allow you toearn,
While they revel in wealth; save the
pittance to buy rifles, and prepare to ex
ecute on the 'blood-sucking capitalists
and their misc able tools the destruc
tion that is provided for them in the an
archist program.”
Howls and she -,s of applause broke in
upon the word.- of the speaker.
“Give Them No Q.uartor,” 4
she cried, “no quarter. ¥ will lead to
the points of the bayonets.” The whole
audience seemed frenzied by the
woman's wild utterances, and there
might have boon a dangerous demon
stration but for tho interference of some
of the cooler heads who succeeded in
calming tho excited gathering.

KENTUCKY CONVICTS.
Yltey Are About to Fall Into th.o Hands of
the State oa Short Notice.
Frankfort, Jan. 3. —One of the most
Important communications that has
been penned in Kentucky recently has
been received by the board of sinking
fund enmmissaoners and ex-officio man
agers of the stete penitentiary from tho
Mason-Foard company, the present les
sees of tire convict labor. The commu
xric?jion is of vital importance, for tho
reason tiaut if its expressed intentions
ore adhered to, tho state will have to
tube charge of all ita hundreds of con
victs next April, at an annual cost to
the tax pavers of over SIOO,OOO.
The communication finally notifies
the board that the firm will not avail
itself of the option to extend for four
years the lease which expires next
April. They aro willing to continue
the existing lease indefinitely on tho
proseix monthly payments, to terminate
on ninety day’s notice from either side,
if the state will provide shop room for
800 convicts now idle. If any shops are
destroyed, and the state fails to rebuild
in ninety days, the lease shall terminate.
The governor, who is ex-officio chair
man of dio sinking fund commissioners,
has never been able to agree with the
lessees about the proper and legal con
struction of the contract of lease. The
lessees claim that the state owes them a
balance of several hundred dollars,
while the governor thinks the balance
should be double as much <_t> the other
side of the lodger. The legislature will
most likely be called on to take a hand
in the vexing question.

A FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
fatal Termination of a Watch Night Play
in Nan Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. B.—-The old year
was closed Saturday night by a terrible
tragedy, in which Sydney McCoy, a
young lawyer aged 83, lost his life, and
Miss Grace King, aged 19, is in an un
conscious condition.
A party of about fifty friends assem
bled at McCoy’s house to watch the old
year out and tho new year in. A fea
ture of the evening’s entertainment was
the production of a short play written
by McCoy and performed by amateurs.
The plot of the play was the betrayal
of a band of ruffian nihilists by one of
their number. The nihilists discover
their traitor and condemn her to death.
They decide by lot who shall perform
the execution andtho number fell to tho
character portrayed by McCoy, Miss
King playing the part of traitor. She
is given the choice of being killed or
etabbing herself, and chooses the latter
alternative.
McCoy handed her a stout dagger
which had been in his family for many
years. In the play, instead of stabbing
herself she was to stab her executioner,
and when Miss King received the knife
she reached to touch McCoy on the
breast with the knife. At the same in
stant McCoy started towards the girl,
when she stumbled and falling forward
with the dagger in her hand drove it
through McCoy’s heart.
McCoy showed wonderful vitality and
presence of mind. He walked into the
next room and asked for a doctor and
then fell dead. The girl knew there
had been an accident or some kind, but
did not know McCoy was killed. She
was taken home and afterwards, on the
advice of friends, gave herself up to the
police.
She was taken to the city prison at 3
o’clock, and when she entered the prison
fainted, and has since remained uncon
scious.
McCoy’s two brothers secured her re
lease by giving bond for SIO,OOO for her
appearance. The girl was taken homo,
and is in a critical condition.
The accident is explained by tho fact
that recently Miss King suffered from a
sprained ankle, and has been using
crutches to walk with, but had laid
them aside to practice her part in the
play. As she mado a motion to stab
McCoy she rested her weight on the
weak foot, it gave way and she fell for
ward. ,
A METHODIST DAILY.
Ono Will Be Started in Chicago on Ad
vanced Religious Principles.
St. Paul, Jan. 4.—lt has developed in
the last few days that the Methodists
propose something unique in daily jour
nalism. At a convention of the Ep
worth league of northern Wisconsin, at
Hudson, a resolution was passed Wed
nesday recommending tho Methodist
church of America to .begin the publi
cation of a daily Christian advocate at
CL thuedivuiiuis ro hour advanced
liberal religious thought, with sensa
tional and objectional nows eliminated
from the news columns.
It is estimated that there are 5,000,000
members of the Methodist church in
America, and the promoters of the
echemo say the daily could be started
with a million subscribers. The in
fluence of the paper, it is claimed, will
bo far-reaching. Epworth leagues
throughout tho country, it is understood,
will pass similar resolutions, and tho
new venture will be launched in March
or April.

A reward of SSOO was placed on his

CRI&P CAUGHT COLD.
He Has Been Quite Sick for Several Days
But Not Seriously.
I Washington, Jan. 4.—The special
correspondents Sunday night sent out
the statement that Speaker Crisp is a
very sick man.
Dr. Sowers, the attending physician,
was to see him twice Saturday. Mem
bers of the family were greatly alarmed,
but Sunday night Judge Crisp was much
improved, and the worst appears to be
over.
Whilo in New York Speaker Crisp

tion; that the speaker was not seriously
ill, and that he has not been well since

A Tin Plate Combination.
Pittsburg, Jan. 4.—ln order to more
closely oement their interests and to
stop the cutting of prices, the plate glass
manufacturers of the United States
havo appointed a general agent to soli
the product of their factories and dis
tribute the orders. The agent selected
is S. E. Wheeler, general manager of
the Standard Plate Glass works at But

Republican,
ATLAJU,’ A., FRIDAY. JANUARY 6, 1893.
1 1 CARLISLE’S WIFE.
SEE TAKES A LIVELY INTEREST
IN HIS AFFAIRS.
Her Wishes Will Have Much to Do
with His Acceptance of a
Cabinet Portfolio.
Naw York, Jan. 4. —It has been
learned that Senator Carlisle had left
the question whether he shall become
secretary of the treasury with his wife
to decide. Mr. Carlisle was asked by
the president-elect to como over from
Washington to talk over the question of
accepting the portfolio.
He spent the better part of two days
at the Cleveland residence. Ample op
portunity was afforded to discuss the
momentous proposition. After all his
other objection had been gone over, the
senator is reported to have given his
weightiest reason. It was that his
Wife was Seriously Opposed to It
from the moment his name was first
mentioned.
A close friend of the senator said:
“Mrs. Carlisle has begged her husband
not to think of becoming a member of
the cabinet.”
From the same source it was learned
that, on leaving the president-elect, the
senator remarked that he would leave
the final decision to Mrs. Carlisle.
A recent writer said of Mrs. Carlisle:
“How strongly her personality had be’en
stamped upon the senators life, how
much her influence had counted in
keeping him true to himself; and in
such lines best calculated to bring him.
Tho honor and distinction which,
From Extraordinary and Mental Gifts,
were his due, perhaps never will be
fully known.”
Mrs. Carlisle seems to think her hus
band will be greater as a senator than
as a cabinet minister, so those who
know her say. Her main reason, how
ever, is that his income does not yet
warrant it. As a senator comparatively
little is expected from him in entertain
ment. As a cabinet officer it would be
impossible for him to make the salary
of SB,OUO pay his bills.
THE MYRA CLARK-GAINES WILL.

laws thereof, and having been de
clared invalid, can not be taken

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.—An opinion
just delivered by Judge Biddle declares
tho association, which was formed by
the beer brewers of Philadelphia in
1886, and known as the Brewers' Pool,
to have been an unlawful combination,
because it was against public policy and
restrained trade. This association was
composed of some forty-five brewers
and firms engaged in the beer business
for the avowed purpose of controlling
the trade in Philadelphia and Camden
and fixing the price for which beer was
to be sold.

TWO SCANDALS-
The Ohio Lcajislature Will Bo Called
Upon to Investigate Soon.
Columbus, Jan. 4.—Early in the pres
ent session the legislature will probably
be confronted with the necessity of in
vestigating two very nasty scandals.
For more than a year tl ere have been
charges and counter-charges in connec
tion with the administration of Hon.
Daniel S. Ryan, as executive officer of
the Ohio World’s Fair commission. The
recent controversy between Mr. Ryan
and Colonel Poorman has given the un
pleasant affair additional prominence,
and doubtless an effort will be mado to
probe to the core. General Pocock’s
now famous Chicago trip, accompanied
by Miss Lucy Rhoades," of Zanesville,
will demand proper attention.

AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
The Orleanists Seem to Hp.ve Designs
Against the Government.
London, Jan. 3.—The Orleanists have
by no means abandoned the hope of re
gaining the throne of France through a
revulsion in the republican sentiment
caused by the revelations in the Panama
affair. What the present intentions of
the Orleanists are, is hard to gay, but it
is evident that some project is contem
plated that is intended to lead to the
overthrow of the republic and the es
tablishment of a monarchy.
The Count of Paris has telegraphed to
his son, the Duke of Orleans, who is
now traveling in Indo-China, to hasten
his return, in order that he may take
part in the deliberations of the Orleans
party.
In English circles it is believed that
there is no chance of the machinations
of the French Royalists and Imperialists
proving successful. It is thought that
the French government by pursuing
those implicated in the Panama scandal
to punishment will establish the repub
lic on sounder foundations than before
and will render such an evil as the Pan
ama affair hereafter impossible.
FEARS FOR GLADSTONE.
Detectives Are Guarding Him Against
Conspirators—The Queen’s Message.
London, Jan. 2.—The authorities ap
pear to be so strongly convinced that
the Dublin explosion, by which Detect
ive Synott lost his life, was part of the
work of a band of conspirators that they
have sent a detective to Biarritz to keen
guard over Mr. Gladstone and protect
him from outrage. Mr. Gladstone has
not been made aware of the precaution
taken, as it is known that he would re
sent any protection of the kind should
he be aware of it. Home Secretary As
quith is also protected when he goes out
in public by a detective in civilian attire,
who keeps near enough to interfere in
the event of an attack upon Mr. As
quith. '
In view of the precautions taken the
opinion prevails that the authorities are
in possession of definite and important
information as to the existence of a
formidable dynamite conspiracy.
Queen Victoria was among the earliest
to congratulate Mr. Gladstone on the ar
rival of his 83d birthday. Her telegram
was unusually gracious in tone.
Complimenting Flower.
Albany. N. Y., Jan. 4.—Governor
Flower was at the executive chamber
all the morning. About noon an im
mense floral piece eight feet long, rep-
! resenting the ship of state and named
; “Empire State,” was placed upon the
governor’s desk. From the mast heads
floated two, streamers, one bearing the
words, “I don’t care a d—n for votes,”
the other words, “no debt, no cholera.”
It was a gift from James Oliver, of New
York city, sergeant-at-arms of rhe Dem
i uci arie national committee, and it pleased
the governor very much.
John Hopkins Open for Women.
Baltimore, Jan. 3.—Miss Mary Eliz

, trustees, will open in October, 1893.
I Miss Garrett has placed at the disposal
I of the trustees $306,977, .which, with the
amount already in hand, will make up
$500,000, the sum -which was required.
The gift is to be called “The Mary Eliz
abeth Garrett fund.”
A Meat War in San Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. 3.—There is a
? prospect of a lively meat war in San
Francisco as thp result of the establish
ment of Philip D. Armour’s big stock
yards and slaughter-house plant in
South San Francisco. The local slaugh
ter-house men are trying to mako the
retail butchers boycott Armour’s estab

rates with which other butchers cannot
hope to compete.

CARLISLE AND CLEVELAND.
Their Leng Conference in New York
Closed—Some Topics Discussed.
New York, Jan. 2.—Senator John G.
Carlisle, after an extended conference
with Mr. Cleveland at the latter’s resi
dence Saturday afternoon, returned to
Washington. Mr. Carlisle has been the
guest of Mr. Cleveland since Friday.
He came' to Washington on special invi
tation of the- President-elect, conveyed
to him through ex-Mayor W. R. Grace,
who went to Washington two or three
days ago. It is said that among the
topics that were given prominence in the
discussion was Mr. Carlisle’s disposition
as to a place in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet,
which, it has been semi-officially de
clared, has been tendered to him.
After he left it was said that he had
given Mr. Cleveland no definite answer
on the question. Some of his friends
say that would be influenced to some
extent by the wishes of Mrs. Carlisle in
this matter, and it was also said that
she did not look with favor upon it,
preferring to see her husband remain in |
the senate, which is conceded to be
be practically a life position with hifh.
It is said that the Democratic tariff pol- j
lay was ajiotijer toj?mj>fJUggussion.
