I 1108 GETS IN ITS WORK
Masksd Men Demolish Many
Kentucky Tollgates.
JHE BAIDEES WERE WELL AiLMED
fctjein. <1 to Be Enjjcr For Fight, but tho
Gatekeepers Offered Little Resistance
and N<> Blood Was Shed—Stockholders
of tho Fikes Arc Incensed and Have Put
Uetoc tiros on the Case.
Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 23.—A mob of
/several hundred masked men raided the
(county during the night and completely
destroyed every tollgate along the
pikes. The raiders were armed to the
toe th, eager for light. They rode by
fcwos, closely folk .ring one another. A
bright moon gave them good light as
they dashed at a rapid pace down tho
Lawrenceburg pike from Anderson
county. They demolished the tollgates
as they passed with axes and saws, and
throw them on the side of tho highway.
kin reaching Frankfort the larger
p.;r« of the mob galloped out on the
Louisville pike. Joo Robinson, the
largest stockholder, had been notified of
tho raiders’ approach. A hot skirmish
W; s hr bed for. but tho gatekeeper, Du
puy, was aroused just as the raiders
had c nipn t' d their w >r::. lie put his
h°ad cur oi tho window, and the leader
of the mob, reining in his big white
horse, veiled: *
“Wo have come to warn you not to
charge any mom toll at that gate. If
y< n do, whar wo shall do to you on an
oi net visit will b' a plenty!” *
Dupuy made no response. Some of
the rai tiers were drinking, dud ho feared
trundle.
Other sections of tho mob dashed
aiong rhe other pikes and put up warn
ing n-4'.ces at gates that had boon torn
ti way. By day light there was not a
f ate h* be found in the whole county.
G:itokevp-»rs on the Louisville and
Lnwrei.urg pikes are charging toll as
usual, (aspite vac. raid. Stockholders of
the pi;< ?s are incensed at what they
term wanton destruction and confisca
t’on of their property. They have put
detectives on the ease. The grand jury
will be urged to find indictments.
Posses are lying in wait at some of
the tollgates for another raid, and then
trouble is feared. The county voted for
(free turnpikes at the last election. Tho
courts have not been able to buy the
pikes as yet, and the law’s delay has led
to mob violence.
RECENT RISE IN WHEAT.
Utt Originated In London, S:>ys the Editor
I of an English Trade Journal.
I New York, Oct. 28.—A dispatch '
t ; held a conversation wit ....
(Rush, the editor with Beerbehni’s Corn
/Trade List, the standard authority on
the market. Mr. Rush, who had just
•left the Corn Exchange—where he had
‘ascertained the views of all the leading
men in the trade—said:
“This rise, almost for the first time
on record, originated here, not America;
This shows that it could have nothing
/'to do with any manipulation of the
Ynarkots for any political or other pur
poses. I Its cause is that after several
years of abundance, the people now rec
ognize this year is one of ordinary sup
ply. Owing to the previous abundance
everybody held'.-aloof from buying and
the stocks randown. Besides, the Aus
tralian crop is pretty certain to be a
failure and there is the extraordinary
fact that India has become for thenonco
thought to be, to a small extent, an im
porter. These things caused the recent
advance in the prices.
“The trade always goes to extremes
to start with. A reaction that has oc
curred was to be expected, but the
cause of the advance remains.
“The men of the most experience in
the London market believe that wheat
is going to rule at 35 shillings ($8.75) p
quarter (8 bushels in a quarter) because
it is now realized, in addition to the
other reasons I have given, that it is
not possible to produce wheat in Europe
cheaper.
“If America could hold back wheat
for a month, it would go up .10 shillings
($2.50) a quarter. But I suppose the
American ban!* do not consider wheat
a commodity on which it is safe to give
large accommodation, so that America
is obliged to send on as fast as it can.”
Court Clerk Makes a Costly Error.
k ‘ San Francisco, Oct. 28.—Owing to a
court clerk’s error, the Mutual Life In
surance company of New York must
pay Mrs. Nellie Phinney a judgment of
$98,000 with interestsand costs, making
over SIOO,OOO. Such was the decision
rendered by the United States circuit
court of appeals in this city. The com
pany refused to pay the life policy of
Guy C. Phinney for $98,000 and suit
was brought by the widow and judg
ment given, but the case was appealed.
R. M. Hopkins, clerk of the court at
Washington, failed to properly indorse
the writ of error filed with him. there
fore there is no official record showing
tho writ was actually tiled. The
time allowed within which another ap
peal might bo tiled has expired, so the
decision is final.
Former Russian Pope Tolstoi Banished.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 28.—Former
Pope Tolstoi of the Russian church, re
cently deposed from the priest’s func
tions because he refused to clear him
self of an accusation that he had been

ROOKER MAY BE RETIRED.
The Secretary of the Papal Delegate Will
Very Likely Lose His Position.
Washington, Oct. 29.—The opinion
is freely expressed by ecclesiastic of the
Catholic church in Washington that the
troubles within the church have not
i ended with tho Bishop Keane incident,
and that they will soon be renewed at
Rome by the parties to tho present con-
> troversy. It is fully expected by the
» friends of Dr. Rooker, the secretary to
; tho papal delegate, that the forces which
; brought about Bishop Keane’s retire
■ niont- from the Catholic university will
[endeavor to secure the retirement <f
■ i Dr. Roc-l:;r, who is a friend of Bishop
„ ’ Keane and of Archbishop Ireland.
' I This expectation has given rise to
: current reports that Dr. Rooker would :
i i be succeeded by a new secretary, but so j
> ■ far as » known there is no further basis ;
, ' for rhe reports at the present time. It ,
is supposed that tho matters may be i
■ pushed to a conclusion one way or the
other after Cardinal Satolli’s arrival at
> Rome.
' The cardinal is due at Genoa Wed
’ ’ nesday. He will no: go direct to Rome,
1 but will stop at Milan and Perugia.
.’Expectation is that tho names of Dr.
Cenaty and others proposed for the rec
torship of the university will not be
■ considered until the sacred congregation. '
i now in recess, convenes on the second ■
Monday of November, and that the I
final decision will be made known early !
in December.
i; Mgr. Martinelli is confining his atton- '
i tion wholly to the work of tho delega- ;
tion, which is largely of a routine char- 1
i aeter, and has carefully refrained from ;
; any participation in tho differences ■
i , within the church.
FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.!

Bertha Robinson Awarded Nearly Five i
Thousand Dollars* Damages.
! New York, Oct. 29.—A jury in the
supreme court returned a verdict award- !
ing Bertha Robinson of Chicago $-1,309
damages from David Weisonberger of 1
this city for breach of promise of mar- ■
riage. Tho plaintiff sued for $50,000. :
She claimed that she met the de- |
fondant while visiting in New York in
tiie winter of 1893-94, and that they be
came engaged. The wedding was set
for May 15, 1894, and she purchased an
elaborate trousseau at considerable ex- ’
i pense and made other preparations for '
the wedding.
The defendant pleaded that ho had
become betrothed under false represen
tations, and that instead of moving in j
high social circles in Chicago, Miss Rob- |
ioson’s family were beneath him in
I sian ling; that her parents had been di
j voiced and that her uncle had a bad
!record.
Counsel for Weisenborger asked a
stay of 90 days in which to appeal from '
' the verdict.

a business man of Glendale, took a pinch
of snuff for a cold. So severe was the
sneezing that followed that the inferior
oblique muscle of the left eye was rup
tured and as he continued to sneeze the
j pxertic" forced the eye out of the socket.
Duran says ho felt as if something had
broken in his head. With his right eye
he saw the left optic hanging down his
cheek. Dr. Heady replaced the eye and
applied a lotion to the muscle. The eye
was then bandaged so it could not fall
out again. Dr. Heady believes the eyo
is not destroyed.

“ EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL; SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO ROXE."
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896.
BAER HAS RETURNED’
The Cornell Professor Arrived
on the Teutonic.
SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS ABROAD ’
Examined tho Archive.* of The Hagao For |
Official Papers Ilolating to the British- I
Venezuelan Boundary—Thinks tho Dis
pute Will Be Amicably Settled—Knows
Nothing of Diplomatic Negotiations. j
New York, Oct. 29.—G. L. Baer, pro
fessor of history at Cornell university,
, returned on the steamship Teutonic
j after spending some months abroad ex- j
amining the archives of Tho Hague for
. official documents relating to the Vene
zuelan boundary. These documents go
back to tho sixteenth century. Pro
fessor Baer discovered that some of tho
records had found their way into Eng
land, which necessitated his going to
London to examine them. Professor
Baer was assisted in his investigations
. by Dr. De Haan of Johns Hopkins uni
versity.
: “My mission,” said Professor Baer,
: **was simply to find out rhe geograpical
, and geological conditions; I explored a
i great body of documents which provi
; ously had not been examined. In doing
! this. I very naturally came across much
| good material, but the evidence was so
vague that it would have to bo inter- !
■ preted by legal authority. Both in The
. Hague and in London, I was given
every possible facility for making my
! examination.
I “So far as possible I tried, in my own
• mind, to arrive at no conclusion. I was
| not sent there to draw conclusions, but
to explore documents, and I have no
I right to anticipate the conclusions of
the commission. I have every reason,
however, to belipve that the question
will l o amicably settled.
■ “I know nothing whatever of the
' diplomatic negotiations. I saw by tho
' newspapers that Sir Julian Pauncefoto,
' tho British ambassador, was in England
during my absence on the continent,
and 1 assume from what I aead that Iris
visit there had a direct bearing upon tho
international negotiations.
[ “I cannot say whether my discoveries '
t are of value either to one side or to the
other. It would not bo proper for me
to do so. I have from time to time
■ sent on reports to tho United States
I commission, and I am going to Wash
ington at once, whore. I shall mako a
full report. Until this report is sub
mitted Ido not feel that it would bo
proper for me to discuss tho result of
my mission.”
V/ILL REPORTABOUT DEC. 1.
The Venezuelan B< J v C O n)H«l<;i lias
j |»Mico.r, ' •. in
■ Washington, Oct. 2!).—Tho Venezuo
lan commission has resumed its sessions
and probably will meet very frequently
from now until it completes it work.
Andrew D. White was the only absentee.
There was some disappointment over
tho fact that that Dr. Baer and
Professor De Haan, whe have been at
work at The Hague, securing original
translations of manuscripts and docu
ments bearing on the controversy, had
not arrived, but the commission pro
ceeded to consider the other details
, pending their arrival. Dr. Baer and
Professor De Haun probably will reach
here not later than Thursday.
In accordance with the policy hereto
fore pursued by the members of the
commission, they declined to indicate
whether they will be confronted with
any difficulties which might prevent an
harmonious agreement in their report.
Some time ago, however, Justice
Brewer intimated that the report would
be ready for submission by Dec. 1, at
the latest, and this would seem to indi
cate that the members of tho commis
sion, who have, been kept advised dur
ing the suinni r and fall of all develop
ments, will reach a speedy conclusion
. once all tho documents are officially laid
before them.

i Dr. Duncan Challenged Dr. Milne, but the
Latter Would Not Accept.
Victoria, B. C., Oct. 29.—Victorians
j have discovered that they no longer
live in the last years of the nineteenth
century, but have gone back to the good
' old days when personal differences wore
j settled with pistols and swords. Tho
; knight errant who has thought to re
! Vive the medaeval system is Dr. John
i A. Duncan, brother of Dr. George A.
i Duncan, late city health officer and at
i present superintendent in charge of
: William Head quarantine station.
I On Saturday last he sent to Dr. G. I.
Milne a letter in which the latter is
i challenged to fight a duel with pistols
and to name his seconds within 48 hour.-.
: The nucleus around which center the .
incidents leading up to the sensational
challenge is the crusade the Liberal
: leaders of Victoria have lately been on
gaged in to oust Dr. George from his
position for political reasons.
Dr. Milne is the defeated candidate
for the commons and he has just re
turned from a missionary trip to Ot

Dr. John Duncan, who asked that th

interfered with, and suggested that Dr.
Milne wire to Ottawa to that effect.
Dr. Milne replied that Duncan had al
ready sent numerous affidavits to Ot
tawa concerning their side of the ques
tion, those had been considered by the
minister of agriculture and nothing
farther could be done. Dr. Duncan
then became abusive and Dr. Milne or
dered him out of the office.
Soon after a district messenger camo
to Dr. Milne’s office and presouto.i a let
ter. The doctor, after paying tho mes
senger the 10 cents demanded for the
conveyance of the communication, broke
the seal and was astonished and amused
to read a f rmal challenge, plainly
couched, to fight a duel with pistols lit
12 yards.
Dr. Milne being a law-abiding citizen,
however, and having looked throuuh
the challenge with a cathode ray of 1896
civilization, sent his brother practitioner
a humorous reply demanding the right
to choose the weapons and selecting pea
shooters and syringes.
DR. SENNER ACTED WISELY.
Treasury Department Likes the Way He
Handled the Armenian Rclu;jeaßj
New York, Oct. 29. lmmigration
Commissioner Dr. Joseph 11. Sound* has
just received from the treasury depart
ment at Washington a reply
to a communication ho had written re
garding the disposition of a niunbf r of
Armenian refugees now at Ellis island.
It is as follows:
I The department approves your action in !
■ Armenian matter ns reported in your let
ter of Oct. 23, and the tut-ure course indi-
* cated t herein. Your ions '.i
to ace< <-rin.; anv.-V tborim--will be con- i
h-! --I Au relahc"
Dr. Senner had recommended the fol
lowing:
First, to insist on proper distribution
of Armenians, so as not to congest the
labor market in any particular branch
or location.
Secondly, as they are unquestionably
assisted immigrants, they must provide
proper bonds, so as to secure the coun
try, before lauding, against their being
supported by the federal authorities.
There are 274 Armenians left on Ellis
island, six having been released during
the day.
Susan B. Fessenden, president of the
Massachusetts board of tho Woman’s
Christian Temperance union, has prom
ised bonds for 100, and Commissioner
Sonnor expects that the Salvation Army
will secure bonds for 100 more. Lt is
nor thought that any will have to be
deported.

i ral Beardsley will make tho cruise on

Gibson, a free silver man, liung a large
British flag in-his front window. Un
derneath was a small American flag and
the inscription: “By Consent of Eng

ing the Republicans. His curiosity was !
satisfied, for in less than an hour the
street in front of his’office was a howl
ing mob, and several G. A. R. veterans
procured a rope and pulled the British
flag down and destroyed it.
To Use ItUßsian Thistle In Place of Coal.
Chamberlain, S. D., Oct. 29.—As the
result of experiments last winter, the
mill at Castalia will again this winter
use the Russian thistle for fuel in place
of coal. Tho proprietor of the mill
offers farmers $1.60 per ton for all tho
thistles they can bring in. Thus tho
farmers of that section will receive in
. come from what has heretofore been one
of their greatest enemies, the thistles '
growing iu such profusion in some lo- '
calities that small grain has been com
pletely crowded out.
Another Conspiracy Discovered.
Madrid, Oct. 29.—An official dis
patch from Manilla says that a con
spiracy has been discovered in the Zulu

SHCOT DOWN CUBANS LIKE DOGS
An American, Who lias Just Ret timed

ities He Witnessed While There -Says
the Insurgents Are Confident of Win
ning Within the Next Five Months.
Denver, Oct. Charles Locht of
this city, who joined tho Cuban army
■ last spring, and who was taken prisoner
Iby tho Spaniards, and after three
I months’ imprisonment in Moro Castle
| was released, through tho intervention
1 of Consul General Leo, has just reached
homo.
“The sentiment among the Cubans,”
said he, “is that Cuba will bo freo
within four or five months. It is esti
mated by well informed officers of tho
1 Cuban that the Spaniards have
i lost 35,000 men since the war began.
; The atrocities practiced by tho Span
• iards, who are exasperated beyond en-
I durance by the persistuice of tho Cu
i bans, would hardly be credited.
“I saw an American citizen, Dan Erb,
i formerly a fireman on tho Denver and
■ Rio Grande railway, at Leadville, shot
j down in cold blood by a Spanish officer.
Erb was taken prisoner at the same time
'ns myself. We were held as prisoners
: on tho side of the railway track, await
: ing the train to carry us to Havana. A
! Spanish officer entered into conversation
with Erb, who exclaimed defiantly that
i he was an American citizen, and ex-
I pected to bo treated like a man. Tho
. officer drew a 6-shooter and killed Erb
! on thejspot.
| “While confined in tho castle I wit
nessed many startling scenes. Every
( morning the prisoners aro obliged to go
to the seashore to bathe. They are sent
; out in gangs of 20 men under heavy
j guard. 1 noticed that some never re
turned. The missing men were eaten
i by sharks. Hundreds and perhaps thou
sands of prisoners have been disposed of
through tho agency of sharks.
| “The doors of the inclosure surround
i ing the castlo aro left open as if to in
; vite escape, but no man who has made
, tho attempt has ever been heard of
I again. Those who attempt to leave-aro
' shot down like rats.
I “In the castlo I was -fed on tfrtillas
and water. Tho tortillashad ei/tiently
been doctored, for they ta?tod unlike
any I ever ate. The water wYs salt and
caused dysentery. In a rcZn, 8 by 10
