. Atlanta, November 29.—-The legislative !
investigating committee met at 7:30 to- I
night arid proceeded with the examination |
of Mr. James P. Harrison. In addition to I
reviewing the testimony already reported, ]
Mr. Harrison said: “I have paid to Gen.
Phillips the $1100 mentioned in t he con
tract as a retainer; have paid him money
besides that amount. I regard what T
have paid in addition as payments upon
the conditional fee referred to in the
contract. I cannot explain the differ
ence in the dates of the contracts
or the multiplicity of contracts. The con
tracts were not prepared to hide the truth, !
but to set out the true agreement entered
into between General Phillips and myself.
I went to see General Phillips in Marietta
last Sunday and xvas with him three hours.
I went again on Thursday last, the day be
fore my examination, ana spent about two
hours. We talked about this case. General
Phillips was dressed and sitting up, but
was suffering severely with gravel, he told
me, and was taking medicine while I was
there. He extended me his left hand, say
ing he could not use his right side.
Air. McLendon then questioned Mr. Har
rison as to the different witnesses that
were summoned before the special com
mittee from the senate, asking if they
were present at his solicitation or by his
procurement. A number of them,' Mr.
Harrison said, he had procured and others
were not present by his request. I did not
appear before that committee. My testi
mony printed in the record was prepared
by myself. I asked the questions and

personally that they know of it until they i

paper or the proprietor of any paper. I
once asked Colonel Evan P. Howell to take
$1090 or $2000 subscription in the stock of

London, November 29.—In the Camp
bell divorce easo to-day Mr. Finley, for the
defense, con’inued the presentation of
Lord Colin Cuiiiphell’s ease. “If Lady
Campbell had believed,” Hie lawyer ar
gued, “that her husband had communi
cated the malady to her she would have
mentioned the foot to him, but I hi.-; she
had never done.” The judge, interrupt
ing, said that that argument related en
tirely to the cruelty alleged in the petition
ns one ground i'or divorce, and the said
cruelty hud been proven in a former trial
in which the plaintiff' had obtained a de
cree of separation. On that ground alone
lie must now refuse to allow the allegation
to be contested, and he should direct the
jury to find that the defendant had given
to the plaintiff some kiud of disease. Fin
ley, resuming, sniff: “All of the plaintiff’s
allegations in her netitiou were false and
had been made to intimidate, and had
since been withdrawn, except one charge,
the truth or falsity of which
coulcl be known only to t lie lady
herself. The defense, however, had evi
dence that would shed a flood of light upon
Lord Colin’s proceedings in regard to that
charge. Even allowance must be made,”
counsel contended, “for Lord Colin’s action
in asking the Baris police to arrest his
wife and lock her up iu the prostiutes’
prison because at that time the defendant
believed bis wife was living there in adul
tery with the Duke of Marlborough. Four
persons,” Finley went on, “were accused
of having been criminally intimate with
Lady Colin.” Here Russell, plaintiff’s
counsel, interrupted saying,
“Five.”
“Not necessarily live,” retorted Finley.
“Oh, Mr. Finley,” exclaimed Russell.
Defendant’s counsel then continued,
“Lady Campbell had written to the Duke
of Marlborough as ’Dear George.’ He had
taken her home at 2 o’clock in the morn
ing, gone up stairs with her, and remained
with her twenty minutes. On one occa
sion when he came to tea, the servant that
took tea up to Lady Campbell found the
drawing-room locked, and a little, later
found it. unlocked, ami said that. Lady
Campbell’s nuir was disarranged, her
face flushed mid t e furniture out of
place. On these occasions the counsel
contended the plaintiff’ had doubtlessly
misbehaved. Lady Campbell’s maid
would be culled and would prove that on
more than one. occasion while the plaintiff
was living alone her couch at Leigh
Court was occupied by more t han one per
son, The servant and two independent
witnesses would testify that the plaintiff
had committed an act of infidelity in r.ne
Parfleet hotel. Dr. Bird and Lady
Campbell at one time were constantly
together, and whenever he called the
plaintiff used to give orders that she was
not to be disturbed during his presence.
Once a cabman saw Dr. Bird and Lady
Campbell, while returning from a chari
table concert iu East End, caressing each
other in the e«6. On tins occasion they
were driven to Dr. Bird’s house and both
went in. Tho cabman remained outside
I L-xdy Campbell stayed so long that he
drove away. It would also be
shown that; when Dr. Bird visit
ed Lady Campbell professionally, he
would remnh»rbr hours at her bedside in a
darkened room. Referring to Chief Shaw,
of London Fire Bridge, Finlay said: “Lady
Campbell met the chief in an unfurnish
ed drawing room in Cadogan Place, in
1881, and ren nined with him an hour, und
during 1882 was with him alone in the
dining room under conditions which
would couviuce the jury that
the plaintiff and Chief Shaw
were wrong doing. The evidence
connected L idy Colin Campbell with Gen.
Butler and largely referred to the length
of time he remained. When he called
upon the plaintiff two shameless women
had concocted the story of Lord Colin’s
criminal intimacy with his wife’s maid,
Mary Watson. The defense would produce
two surgeons who would swear that Mary
Watson was ‘virgo intact,’ and that there
fore it was impossible that the defendant
could have been guilty of adultery with
her.”
At this point Finlay denounced with
great excitejmeut and passion what lie
called the “infamous f and and perjury
and shameless conduct of Lady Miles and
Lady Colin Campbell.” [Sensation.] He
accused Lady Miles of prostituting her
prayer book by inserting therein the dates
of Lord Colin’s alleged wrong doing for
the purposes of accumulating data upon
which to found the present suit.
The two physicians were called.
Both testified that they had examined
Mary Watson and found her pure. Neither,
however, on cross examination, could
swear that un attempt to assault the girl
had net been made.
Mary Watson herself was then sworn.
She Is a tall, slim girl. She testified that
she was house maid for Lord Colin Camp
bell from 1881 till 188.3. She denied all of
Lady Miles’ testimony concerning the al
leged intimacy between tiie witness and
Lord Colin, l.adv Colin's maid used to
post letters for her mistress, and witness
often saw the names ot the Duke of Marl
borough and Chief Shaw on the envelopes.
When the Duke of Marlborough
called lie used to ring the servant’s beil.
The witness once showed the duke into
the dining room when he called because
her ndMr-.ss was with Lord Colin in his
bed room. The witness went up and
called Lady Colin out, saying the cook
wanted to see iier. When Lady Colin
came out, the witness told her it was the
duke and not the cook, and Lady Colin
said, “thank you, Mary.” [Laughter]. Lady
Colin, the witness continued, used to re
ceive Captain Shaw alone. Dr. Bird
on one occasion took teu
with Lady Colin before, going with her to
a concert. When tiie carriage arrived the
witness went to announce it to the lady
and found that she and Dr. Bird had gone
to Lady Colin’s bed room. Lady Colin
came to the door, saying as she lid so,
“Keep your hand on that dose, doctor.”
Being cross-examined, the witness said she
saw no dose when Dr. Bird received the
injunction to keep his hand on the dose.
When asked by Solicitor Lewis if she had
seen any impropriety on the part of Lady
Colin, the witness replied that she never
had. The witness admitted having written
letters to Lord Colin, but said she had
never signed them, “Your affectionate
Mary,” but simply “Mary.” The case was
then adjourned.

the execution of T. J. Cluvei us ior the
murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, the
public interest in the ease increases. Ac
cording to appointment tiie prisoner’s
counsel had arranged t.o call on Gov. Lee
to-day to present to him petitions both for
pardon and for commutation of the sen
tence to imprisonment for life, which
had been freely circulated through
the state and received numerous sig
natures. They did not, however,
present themselves to the governor.
The reason assigned was that tho opinion
of Judge Hinton, of the supreme court of
appeals, on the question of granting a new
trial to the prisoner (in which he dissented
from the opinion of the other judges who
affirmed tiie )udgment of the lower court)
had not been prepared and counsel wished
to have it so as to present it to the gov
ernor together with petitions. Judge Hin
ton is prepaiing his dissenting
opinion and may have tl ready by to-mor
row, but, there is no certainty about it.
There is much speculation as to the action
of Governor Lee, but he lias given expres
aioii to nothing that would indicate what
he will do.. It is generally believed, how-
i ever, that even it lie refuses to interfere
! with tile execution of tho sentence on the
I prisoner, he will at least respite him for a
; time. Rmnorsare in circulation thin evening
! that Cluverius had made a statement giv-
| ing an account of his whereabouts on the
night of the 13th of March, 1884, the night
of the murder of Miss Madison, but tliuy
cannot be trailed to any reliable source.
He will doubtless do so, but it is not ex
pected that it will be-made public before
it goes into the hands of the governor.

we appreciate the tendency of yttor great
movement to elevate woman industrially
to their right piano by claiming that
they have equal pay i'or equal
work, recognizing them as officers
and members of your societies, and advo
cating the ballot in their hands as tlieir
rlglillul weapon ol'self help incur repre
sentative government. As temperance
woiuch we have been especially glad to
note your hostilo attitude toward the
saloon, tho worst foe of woman, of tho
workingman and ol home. We read with
jov of the vow made by the newly-elected
officers of the Knights of Labor at the con
vention in Richmond, when with hands
raised to heaven they pledged themselves
to be total abstainers throughout their
term of office. In addressing you at this
lime we wish to otter our sincere
congratulations upon your achievements
ns practical workers in that great temper
ance reform which engages our ever
steadfast work and prayers, and which, os
we believe, involves overall other move
ments of tills age, your happiness and
elevation. Berm it. us to ask your careful
consideration of this statement of our be
lief. Tho central question of labor re
form is not so much how to get higher
wages as how to turn present, wages to
better account: for waste, harms most of
those who can least afford it. It is not over
production so much as underconsumption
that grinds the tacos of the workingmen.
Fifteen hundred millions of dollars an
nually drawn caiedy n.. u tne pockets of
workingmen by Buluoii keepers and cigar
dealers means less Hour in the barrel, less
coal in the cellar and loss clothing for the
laborer’s family. We grieve to see them
give their money for mat which ia not
bread und their Jabor for that which sutis-
fietti riot. Life insurance statistics prove
til it while the average life of the modern'
drinker is but Unity uveyears mid a hu'.r,
that of tho total abstainer is B.xty-fouv
years. Sucees-il'ul explorers and no!-
ihers, famous ulli lutes, pedestrian.,
l'OWero, and shots are men who do n a
cobweb tneir brains or palsy their ner .
with alcoholic drink Wo believe that the
work of our societies resulting in laws by
which nearly bne-hulf the children of tli
United Btatos are being taught in public
schools the evil effects of intoxicating
liquors upon tho tissues of tho body und
temper of the mind, merits your earnest
co-operation, and will prove oue of your
strongest reinforcements in the effort to
elevuie your families to nobler levels of
opportunity. We believe that the study
oi hygiene including a knowledge of
the most healthful foods and tho
discovery tlmt these arc of the cheaper
and non-stimulating class, with a careful
consideration of the scientific methods by
which in the preparation of loud a little
can be made to go a long way in home
economies, are well worthy of your atten
tion. Wo ask you to aid us in our endeav
ors to have taught in ull the departments
of our public schools those beneficent laws
of health which relate to wholesome living
in respect to diet, dress, sleep, exercise
and ventilation, ho that these teachings
shall be given to every child, os on eof the
surest means to its highest happiness. Wo
ask your attention to our white cross
pledge of equal ehast'ty for man and
woman, of pure inngtiuge and pure life.
We ask your help in our efforts to secure
adequate protection by law for the daugh
ters of the poor and the rich alike from
the cruelty of base and brutal men. We
ask your help in our endeavors to pre
serve the American Sabbath with its
rest and quiet, redeeming it from
being, as now, the harvest, time of tho
saloon keeper when lie gathers in the hard
earnings of tho workingmen, and we
promise you our co-operation in your ef
forts to secure the .Saturday half holiday,
which wc believe will do much to change
the Sabbath from a day of recreation to
one of rest at home, and for the worship
of God. We cull your attention to our de
partments of evangelistic temperance
work, work for railroad employes, lumber
men, miners, soldiers and sailors; also to
our efforts to organize free
kitchens and Kindergartens and Bands of
Hope, to supply free libraries und reading
rooms, temperance lodging houses and res
taurants and to reach out a helping hand
to fallen woman as well as fallen man. We
have a publishing house at 161 La Bade
street, Chicago, which sent out 30,000,000
pages of temperance literature in the lust
year and which are set by' women composi
tors. Our national organ has good words
for all the lawful efforts made by the
workingmen and women for their own
best good. We a-sk you to do all in your
power for the cause of prohibition, which
is pre-eminently your cause. With the
dram shop and its fiendish temptations
overthrown, what might you not attain of
that self-mastery wnieh is the first condi
tion of success, and what might you not
achieve of protection and happiness In
those homes which are the heurt’s true
resting places? Your ballots hold the bal
ance of power in this land of the world’s
hope. We ask those of you who arc voters
to cast them only for such measures
and such men as arc solemnly committed
to the prohibition of every brewery, distil
lery and dram shop in the oatioii, and that
women ntuy come in to the rescue in this
great emergency also, as an act of justice
toward those who have tho most sacred
claim on your protection, we hope thut
you may see your way clear to cast
your ballots only for such meas
ures and such men na arc pledged
to the enfranchisement of women. In aJl
this we speak to you as those who fervent
ly believe that the coming of Christ’s
kingdom in tiie earth means brotherhood.
We urge you with sisterly earnestness and
affection to make the New Testament
your text book oi political economy amt
to join us in the daily study of llis
blessed words, “Who spoke as
never man spoke,” with His pierced
hands lifting up this sorrowful
bonightened world into the light of God.

New York, November 29.—The stock
market to-day showed a most extraordi
nary activity which was due entirely to
the broadening of speculation. Low
priced stocks went back to their normal
condition, while almost all of tho old fav
orites became prominent. In dealings an
increased interest was most especially no
ticed among Gould stocks, Texas Pacific
and Western Union being great favorites.
Reading was a prime favorite. Coal stocks,
especially Jersey Central and Lackawanna
were active and strong, particularly in the
early part of the day. There
was more trading in Lake
Shorn which was, however,
attributed to the covering of short con
tracts. Pacific stocks, among which Union
Paclie and Pacific Mail were prominent,
were largely traded in, the usual rumors of
a settlement of tlieir difficulties doing
duty. There was a considerable selling of
Reading for London accounts in the early
morning hours, and a sharp decline was
tho consequence. It quickly recovered,
however, and after remaining compara
tively steady was again moved up sharply
towards the close. The opening was
very active, but at irregular
changes from Saturday’s final princes,

1 Are broke out a little before 7 o’clock this
j evening in tho cellar of 1’. J. Anderson'S
store, in t he wholesale dock on Commerce
I street. His stock consisted of paints, oils,
I sashes and blinds, on four floors, und was
totally destroyed in spite of the prompt
j action of the lire department, the good

and third floor of (). VV. Cook’s wholesale
grocery store. Consider ble damage was-

: buildings is complete, as lie has no insur
ance. The other losses are partly covered
by Insurance.
11 p. M. — The fire in the wholesale
: block is now under control. Anderson’s
! loss is heavy and he was not insured. Con
siderable damage was done by water in
