Segraw aad White Women Lleln, la Aiialterjr— A
Bald Made On Their Bouse and the Criminals
Uaptnred—Other News of Interest.
Opelika, Ala., October 18.—Quite a ten-.
sational criminal case was developed in
this city Saturday night. For nearly a
year a family of white people by the name
of Cole, consisting of a woman and her
two daughters, the latter between 25 and
30 years of age, having been living near the
city. They had a bad reputation, but very
little was known of them, as they iived in
a neighborhood where there were very
few white people. They pretended to live
by washing and sewing. About two weeks
since they moved into the city and soon
aroused the suspicions of the neighbors by
seeing negroes visit the house late at night.
The matter was reported to Chief of Po
lice Carden. He kept a watch on the
house and Saturday night he and
Sheriff Gordon made a raid
on it at midnight. They were assisted by
the police force, and J. R. Williams, the
nearest neighbor. They quickly sur
rounded the house, and Carden knocked
at the front doo.. There was immediate
ly considerable commotion, and in a few
moments a window in the rear of the
house was opened, and a negro man by
the name of John Dixon jumped out.
Williams, who was stationed at the win
dow, was unarmed, but struck him with
a rock, and gave the alarm. Sheriff Gor
don was on hand in an instant, and or
dered him to stop, but he only fled faster.
The sheriff pursued him some distance
and fired at him, and doubtless would
have have killed him, had be not fell over
an obstruction lust as he fired.
The negro escaped into the darkness.
During the excitement another negro
man by the name of Burril Jackson
jumped out at a window on the south side
-of the house and fled very rapidly.
He was closely pursued by Policeman Bee-
iland, who fired three shots at him and
captured him after a quarter ot a mile
chase. Both negroes were in their night
-clothes. The officers then entered the
house and met with a pitiable scene of
vice, poverty and degration. The young
est of the women had a child. The
smother of the women confessed that they
were living with the negroes as man ana
wife and were supported by the negroes.
They supplied them with provisions and
■ were using the negroes’ furniture. It was
-alspectacle that evidently would have de
lighted a northern republican social
equalltist, but the most disgraceful
and disgusting crime that ever oc
curred in this section. The women seemed
perfectly obvious of their outrageous
conduct. They and the negro, Burril
. Jackson, were Incarcerated in jail, war
rants were issued for adultery and they
will be tried in a few days (as soon as Diok-
.-son is arrested) before Justice J. T. Gor
man. Our people are Indignant and are
-determined that they shall reoeive the full
penalty of the law.
Sam Sims and Lewis Williams were tried
-■before Justice Gorman to-day for failure
to work the public road, but acquitted, as
they had a legal excuse.
Archie McKennie, colored, was convict
ed in the county court Saturday for tree-
jpass after warning and fined |50 and costs.
He appealed to the circuit court.
Mr. J. T. Griffin, of this city, and Miss
Carroll Dowdell, of beat 7, were married
in this city last night.
At a stock law election held in beat 6

carried by 123 majority. The law now

In the county.
Our efficient tax collector, Mr. J. M.
Thomas, started out on his annual rounds
to-day. Poll tax is not delinquent now
until the 1st of December, 1887, and other
tax the 1st of January, 1888.
Our great inter-county fair opens one
week from to day. Vast preparations have
beea made, and a magnificent success is
promised. The work is all completed and
everything is ready. The race crack is one
of the fluest in the state, and 30 or 40
horses are already entered. A number ot
exhibitors will be here from the Piedmont
and Montgomery fairs. The railroads have
all reduced the fare to one cent a mile and
large crowds are expected. The exhibits
will be full in every department. Nothing
that energy, enterprise and determination
could accomplish, has been left undone.
About $5000 nave been expended on the
track and buildings. The officers, com
posed of our best business men, were deter
mined to make a grand success, and their
.fondest hopes will be fully realized.
Let Columbus and all the surrounding
country come and see what her flourishing
neighbor can accomplish in the way of a
fair. They will be astonished at our re
sources and development. Our premium
list is magnificent, and let them bring their
best exhibits if they wish to retain prizes.
-Convenient schedules will be run on all
the railroads, and accommodations will be
ample for all.
Iron «n<l Copper lu Elliort.
Some fine specimens of iron ore have
been found in Elbert county recently.
There are also Indications of copper in
some places. There are minerals or many
different kinds, and iu large quantities
throughout this section, all of wbioh will
be developed some time in the future, and
when that time comes there will be one of
the biggest booms here that was ever in
the south. We not only have the finest
lands to be found almost anywhere, but
the country abounds in mineral wealth.—
JElberton Gazette.
to Homburg was for the benefit of Mrs.
Blaine. Mr. Blaine, being there, took the
cure as a matter of amusement and oecu-
Dation, and he took his three glasses of
water every morning at the Elizabeth
spring—just as others did. That was the
spring where the band played at 7, and
the overture was charming, and the walks
under the chestnut trees are perfect. Then
Mr. Blaine took his bath ol pine leaves,
and came out with the aroma of the pines
of the classic Taunus mountains. In the
afternoon the crowd drinks at the Ludwig
spring—two glasses each—and Mr. Blaine,
with a few others, drank at the Louise
spring, fifty yards distant—and the only
difference in the water is that there is that
there is n8mall fraction more iion in the
Louise than in the Ludwig water. It does
not make a oarticle of difference which
spring one drinks from. It takes a scien
tific expert to tell one from the other.
The current opinion at Homburg is that
the same prescriptions arc given, no mat
ter what the trouble is, or whether there
is any trouble at all, and the physicians
are inclined to amuse themselves Gy mak
ing discriminations as to the springs. An
imperceptible iucreise in iron should not
in any case eclipse the gayety of nations.
The latest from Mr. Blaine ns to his physi
cal condition is that be has gained flesh,
which would be an excellent symptom, as
he leads a very active outdoor life, and
shows that the waters were good for him.
If he increases iu weight it is well-earned
material.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
THE DUDE-KING’S FALL.
Berrjr Wall Captured by a Pretty (llrl it Last—
Who Will Succeed to the Title I
The Delicate Way In Which the CiMipsIgn Eund
Was Handled In a Southern District.
Washington Star.
In the mountaineous region of one of the
southern congressional districts the people
are mostly honest church goers, and are
very severe as to morals. They caDnot
countenance anything that looks like de
ceit or corruption, but they are strong par
tisans and get much worked up in their
quiet way over the local elections. The
aistriot Is demoergtic, ot course, but at the
last congressional election it was pretty
close between the two opposing candi
dates. The men talked politics while
hitching their horses about the church
door on Sunday, and stood auout a long
while after the services discussing the sit
uation. The deacons and Sunday school
teachers and the pillam of the church gen
erally were friends of the gentleman ulti
mately elected, who enjoyed the reputa
tion of a strictly moral and conscientious
man, being something of a religious ex-
borter as well as a politician.
When this candidate came Into the coun
try just before the close of the campaign,
there was a general assemblylng of the
leading deacons and ohurch men to meet
him. They came quietly at night to the
little inn where he stopped, and they were
headed by “Deaoon Abe,’’ who was head
and fTont of all matters of church and
state. They assembled in the general re
ception and all-round room, where there
was a bare floor, a few pine chairs, and a
stove in the middle of the room surrounded
by a sawdust spit box. They were sober
and decorous about the proceedings, and
they carried among them a pair or sole-
leather saddle-bags. The candidate, who
had retired was aroused by the landlord,
and as he got out of bed he found the sad
dle-bags on the floor of his bed room,
where they had been conveyed by Deacon
Abe. They were heavy to lift, and there
was a metallic rattle as the candidate
shoved them under the bed.
They sat together in the big room and
talked over the crops and the cattle and
the repairs to the meeting house. Then
they talked of the election, and gradually
drilled arouud to the question closest to
their hearts.
“Bill,” said Deacon Abe, addressing the
candidate, “you air an honest, conscien
tious man. We all know you wouldn’t do
nothin’ that were like corruptin’ of votes,
and nothin’ that were calkerlated to make
a free-born citizen and a moral Christian
ter feel like he couldn’t read the Declara
tion of Independence with a clear con
science. You wouldn’t do nothin’ in the
way of buyin’ votes. You wouldn’t do
nothin’ to degrade free born citizenship.
We hev been a considerin’, and this ere
contest air mighty close. Now, Bill, ef
you had $170 Owhat would you do with it?
Now, mind, I ain’t a sayin’ as you hev any
sich sum of money, but just supposin’ you
had, how would you divide It up, and who
would you give it to to do the most good?
Now, I ain’t said you had $17U0. It’s all
jest supposin’.”
“Well,” said the candidate, “If you’ve
got seventeen—”
“New I ain't said I had," broke In Dea
con Abe, and the rest of the deacons look
ed sober and impenetrable. “We ain’t
said anybody had $1700. We were just
supposin’.”
“well, then,” said the candidate, “sup
posing that the campaign fund bad been
divided up and $1700 bad been allowed to
this county, and it was all in silver dollars
upstairs In them saddle-bagR, I think I
should turn it over to Mr. — and let
him divide it arround according to this
list.”
The list was produced and the deacons
departed:
Along toward the end of election day the
contest got mighty close, and votes were
selling for as much as $20. The deacons
saw the $1700 melting away while the sun
was still high. Presently Deacon Abe
took a $50 bill from his pocket and handed
it over to the candidate, with the remark
that “this were a mighty close day.”
ROOSEVELT ON CANDIDATES.
MR. BLAINE AT HOMBURG.
Hon He Amuseil Hlnmelf and Picked Up Extra
Flesh.
M. Halstead in Cincinnati Commercial Oazette.
There was a dinner in London at which
Mr. Blaine met Mr. Depew and the writer
of this, and there was not a total absence
of politics at the table, but there were
other things more agreeable if less exciting.
It may seem curious to those who have
not made runs through Europe that
Blaine, Depew and the undersigned met in
Homburg ten days later, without the
slightest arrangement to do so; and there
they talked the whole country (our coun
try i over again. Everything that was said
might be reported verbatim without set
tling or unsettling the state of the nation.
It is charged that Mr. Blaine confessed
bimself an invalid by going to Homburg
and taking “the cure.” That is nonsense.
Mr. Depew, Mr. Garrett, Mr. Wanemaker,
Senator Hale and myself are not Invalids,
and we got up at 6:30 a. m. and walked a -
mile before 7 a. m., once or twice in a oold
fog, to drink salt water, and did it wearing
button-hole bouquets and carrying sticks;
and we are not much suspected as yet of
failing strength. The fashion that Blaine
refused to adopt at Homburg was carry
ing a cane, lie walked and talked and
drank water accordingto directions. It is
the fashion to do so. Fashion commands
you to live abstemiously—early to bod and
early to rise—to diet so as to obtain the
full benefit, of the salt water; and Mr.
Blaine had nothing to do but to do as the
others
and did
The Republican Leader Must Uarrjr tiew Jersey

Chicago, October 15.—Concerning pres
idential matters Mr. Theodore Roosevelt
said, in an interview yesterday, that he
was of tbe opinion that Cleveland wanted
a renomination and that all talk of Hill
becoming his opponent was nonesense
Cleveland still held the mugwump vote,
He could not speak with any confidence
concerning the republican party’s choice
of a presidential candidate, because New
York state was slower than Pennsylvania
and some other states to show its hand
respecting national issues. He did not be
lieve Senator Allison, of Iowa, had im
proved his presidential prospects by stump
lug New York in behalf of Colonel Grant
but there was no doubt that the latter
would greatly benefit by the Ohio states
man’s eloquence.
So far as a boom for Robert Lincoln in
New York was concerned, it was not as
large as a man’s hand. Li fact, it did not
exist at all; but Mr. Roosevelt thought
this fact would not prejudice Mr. Lincoln’s
chances in case his candidacy was serious
ly thought of. Mr. Roosevelt said he did
not entertain the idea of most people, that
the candidate for president to be success
ful must carry New York state. He must
be able to carry New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania. Whoever was popular in those
states would be popular in Now York, and
vice versa.

Our line of Children's Clothing is now com-
New York Morning Journal.
Dudedom has been shaken up to itscen-
ter lately by tbe report that its king, E.
Berry Wall, was about to abandon the de
lights of bachelorhood and become a bene
dict. When the rumor started it found few
believers, for Berry had not been consider
ed a youth of the mnrrying kind, and he
has not been at all anxious that his engage
ment should gain publicity until within a
short time of his marriage.
The story grows out of Berry Wall’s visit
to Long Branch last summer, where he
made one of the most profound successes
of his life. His clothes were triumphs of
the tailor’s art, his neckties were nocturnes
in blue and his hosiery symphonies in pink
and crimson.
How Berry Wall became acquainted at
Long Branch with Miss Kitty King, to
whom it is reported he is engaged to be
married, does not appear. It was a matter
of general comment, however, that after
their acquaintance began they were almost
constantly in each other’s society. They
were seen oil the drive, at dinner parties,
on verandas and promenading.
Kitty is a pretty young woman of the
blonde type, whose homo is at Long
Branch. Durlug the season she lives at
the West End hotel, where her charms of
person and manner have attracted atten
tion from other admirers of female beauty
beside Berry Wall. She is petite and vi
vacious and, tbe gossips say, quickly found
a willing adore: in the king of tbe dudes.
Kitty lives at thu Wes; End hotel with her
iister, and her brother owns a drug store.
The society friends of Berry Wall have
failed to understand his infatuation for a
girl who, however estimable, wrb not
wealthy, and had not been chosen from a
New York “set.” They consider him to
be “o’er young to marry yet,” as he is only
28, and hope his infatuation will not carry
him to that length.
Berry, however, is said to have deter
mined to settle down and become a quiet
citizen of New York. He will retain his
membership in the numerous clubs with
which he Is connected, among which are
tbe New York, tbe Racquet, the Polo, tbe
New York Atbletio and the Cricket clubs,
but will hire a handsome flat and fit it up
as his home in princely style. He will re
tain his membership in the clubs so that
the boys won’t think he has gone back
on them.”
The wedding is expected to take place
this fall after a farewell bachelor supper,
which will probably be Berry’s last “stag
party.”
The extraordinary love of dress that has
characterized the king of the dudes and
has enabled him to win the title in which
be rejoioes, 1b said to have been indulged
by him lately to an interesting degree In
preparing for the wedding.
A Journal reporter learned yesterday
that Berry had purchased a very complete
outfit for himself—^“a perfect gem of a
trosseau.” as one of his slim friends ex
pressed it—and a description of It may be
of interest.
His wedding suit, fashioned of broad
cloth, will cost a $100 bill. Beny pre
ferred diagonal, but was informed that
broadcloth was in better taste.
His purchases In the line of “gents’ fur
nishing goods” were numerous and ex
pensive. His broad expanse of shirt front
on the day of the ceremony will be em
broidered pique, fleur de lis. These arti
cles may be purchased for $10.50 a piece
and Berry proposes to have a half dozen
of them in his wardrobe. He is also fond
of another style pique, which is hand
embroidered, with vines running down
the center.
As for scarfs, there will be a gorgeous
plenty.The principal ones will be large puff
-scarfs of figured satin, worth $2.50 a piece,
and heavy English satin scarfs to be made
up or tied, each of which cost $4.50. Ber
ry’s stock of handkerchiefs will be very
large indeed. He is very fond of them;
they have fancy borders and are deco
rated with big spots.
In regard to a delicate subject it may be
said that Berry’s underwear will be
umde of pure silK, and will cost $110. He
will have six suits in pink, blue and straw
colors. He has bought a number of paja
mas with silken girdles, and his robes de
nuit will be fashioned of embroidered silk.
As an additional contribution toward the
outfit, Berry has laid in a handsome store
ot canes. One ot them is a cane and a
horse-measure combined. Tbe measure
can be drawn out like a sword, and will
give tbe heighth of a horse seventeen
hands high. Another cane has an ivory
handle on which are carved four faces,
two of which express hilarity because
BtockB are up and two depression because
stocks are down. Berry bought this to
amuse him whenever be decided to take
any more little “flyers” on the street. He
has several canes of natural woods, mount
ed with animals in silver. One cane in
which he takes especial pride is a cat’s
head with emerald eyes, and another is an
old gold wrought in silvor.
The fair young bride will be handsomely
remembered, it is said, but the gossips do
not say what the wedding presents will be.
There is one adjunct of dress, however,
that Berry intends to buy, and that is a
novelty in tbe way of a parasol, lin whose
handle is concealed a fan. Tho parasol is
made of crimson silk, with a rosewood
handle, and tbe fan is of silk gauze.
It is an unwritten law of dudedum that
a married man cannot be the king of that
g eculiar organization. The news that
erry Wall contemplates laying down his
sceptor, of course created a great flutter
among the youths who aspire to that proud
position. “Who will succeed him as
king ?” was a question freely asked, but
no authoritative answer was obtainable.
There are several strong candidates for
tbe position, and tbeir merits were freely
canvassed. One of the most likelv is said
to be Brockholst Cutting, who is twenty-
five years old and a darting dresser. He is
of florid complexion, and stout built, and
all his clothes are imported from London.
He is one of the Cutting heirs, and is a
great social favorite. Young Cutting’s in
come is in tho neighborhood of $50,000 a
year, and a good portion of which is ex
pended on his personal attire.
Another candidate whose name receives
much attention is young Woroiser, the
son of Isidor Wormser, the millionaire
banker. He is also stout and dark, and is
a familiar figure at Delmonico’s and at ail
society events. His adventure of a year or
soagoinWall street, when he attempted
to run the stock market without his fath
er’s knowledge, and with a disastrous re
sult, will be remembered. Freddie (Job-
hard could easily step into the shoes of
Berry Wall, as he has the money and the
clothes to do it, but his time is so taken
un with Mrs. Langtry that it is thought lie
will decline the honor.
Several Wall street men who wore seen
at the Windsor last night were of the opin
ion that Mr. Wall’s mantle will fall upon
Charlie Jolines, who is the finest dresser
on Wall street, and who is credited with
being the proud possessor of 365 suits of
clothes.
Another candidate who has plenty of
backers is Mr. E. Cannon Harriott, whose
fattier left him over $1,800,000 a short tin.c
ago. Mr. Harriott is a familiar figure at
Saratoga during tho season, where his
team of prancing hays and seemingly end
less wordrobe have made him famous, tv
Btrry Wall was not at his customary j
haunts yesterday, and it was intimated
that he had taken an early train for Long i
Branch. The swells propose to submit the l
selection of a successor U) Mr. Wall him- |
self, an j it is rumored that the King of the
will keep the title in the family by

An Amateur Hunter's First Shot at ay
Peer—Too Slow on Trigger.
Did you ever hear Frank Levan tell his ex
perience with that deer up the country when
he was determined not to get the “buck
fever#** Weil, Frank went up in the moun
tains with a crowd of old and new hunters.
All preparations having been made, the deer
Mayors went out to look for fresh venison.
Thej' succeeded in wounding a deer that af
ternoon and killing two more, the old hunter*
doing the work. Dnrkqess coming on, tbe
hunters concluded to wait until next morning
to search for the wounded deer. Accordingly
next morning they started on the track of
the deer and followed it a long way until
they struck a small stream between two high
hills. Here the eaptaito divided the party
into squads of two and three aud gave them
directions as to how they should proceed in
order to come up with the deer.
As it happened Levan was one of the men
placed on tho left of the stream and was or
dered to ho extremely careful to avoid ull
noise and excitement and above all not to get
the “buck fever.” Frank proceeded to carry
out his instructions and walked along the
stream with the pace of a snail and tho tread
of a fox. Having goue as far as be consid
ered it his duty to go and seeing.no signs of a
ieer or other animal lie stopped beside a large
fallen tree to survey the landscape o’er.
Stepping on to the log he was engaged in a
careful scrutiny of the surrounding biilt
when lie was impelled by some inward feeling
to turn his eye* tVoliind him. From that mo
ment he was transformed from an ordinary,
discouraged hunter into a hero, for he beheld,
not thirty feet from him, a live deer that stood
looking at him and flapping its large ears os
if it wished to discover by sight and sound
tho nature of tho object before it.
Never having had such an experience be
fore Levan began to think that he was going
to have some fun and tho honor of killing his
first deer. Ho wus armed with a rifle of
about five pounds’ pull, but he had never shot
one of those guns oft. Deliberately and qui
etly he drew the rifle to his shoulder and took
aim at the deer’s head, saying frequently to
himself, “You’re my meat.” Having aimed
several times at the deer’s head he concluded
that ho would not run tho risk of missing it
and have the hoys laugh at him, so he low
ered the gun until the sights were aimed for
the heart of the deer, and he continued to
point tho gun at the deer and remark:
“You’re my meat,” for a minute or more,
being under tho impression that the animal
was good to stand in that position for a day
or two. At last hnving made up his mind to
pull the trigger, Frank steadied his nerves
and mentally congratulated himself upon not
getting the buck fever.
Then, he says, he pulled that trigger back
at least three inches, and just os be began to
fear that the trigger was made of elastic and
would never stop going backward the deer
gave a bound like a football struck by a 200
pound man aiul hi tided half way up the side
of the mountain. At the same time Levan’s
arms went up and the rifle wan discharged in
the air, the bullet passing over the mountain
into the next township. When the other
hunters came to help cut tho deer up Frank
told them that he hadn’t hit it, us he only had
u snap shot and had no chance of killing it.—

A Coining Financial Napoleon.
Banks are viewed as public conveniences
and receive their charters as such. They have
got to he quite personal in their utility, how
ever. Excepting in tho smaller banks it is
next to impossible for a man with moderate
means to open an account unless be happens
to be bncked by influence the bank does not
care to antagonize. I went recently with a
friend «»f mine who wanted to open an ac
count in 11 state hank that does a heavy busi
ness in private accounts for the tradesmen
and wealthy people in a good neighborhood.
My friend is a beginner in business, to whom
an account is a necessity. Ho lmd $2,000,
chiefly in checks, to open fire with. Tim
president happening to lie away he fell into
the clutches . f the cashier. That magnato
listen* *i to his overtures disdainfully.
“How much do you wish to open an account
with#” he asked.
T1h> sum was named and the cashier mani
fested open amusement.
“The fact is,” sulci he, “that we do not care
to handle such small amounts. Besides wo
do not allow an account to be drawn under
$500. Wo would like to oblige Mr. X.”—the
gentleman from whom the would be depositor
brought an introduction—“but, really”
At this juncture the president of the insti
tution arrivecd, and, happening to be a
personal acquaintance of my friend and my
self, bo did the duty his underling would have
evaded. I asked him whether they were in
tho habit of declining to open accounts on
small deposits when the depositors were
reputable men engaged in legitimate busi
ness.
“Never,” he said emphatically, “small ac
counts uro troublesome and unprofitable, but
I regard it as a duty to tuke them in when l
Ik*lievo the depositor to be a worthy man who
needed our conveniences. My first bank ac
count was $200.”
This banker, who appreciates bis duty to
tho public, is, I believe, a man of 70 years,
who never dreamed of speculating on the
street. His ambitious minded managing
man Is under 40, and may yet be a young
Napoleon of finance.—Alfred Trumble in
New York News.
How u Hoy Got Off’.
A boy named by the monitor was ordered
to “stand out.” Ho took his pluce clear of tho
desk in the gangway of tho school, and, with
the certainty of punishment hanging over
him, had to wait until a file of talkers had
been collected. When tho row of the con
demned had become somewhat long, and
when there was a pause in the occupation <»(
the autocrat, the chastening began. For this
offense the sentence mostly took effect on tho
palms of the hands, and the two strings, one
of culprits coming to tho ordeal, the other <>f
victims with quivering hands tuckbd under
their arms, and howling, groaning, or with
difficulty suppressing their emotion as they
wound their way back to their seats, might
possibly have been objects replete with inter
est to a student of human nature, but were
too common to ox cite much attention among

A Valuable Cherry Tree.
Six huiufr d dollars seems a large price for
one cherry tree, hut that was the sum paid
f r one in Santa Clara county. It was re
quired to ho removed to make way for the
Now Aknaden railroad. Tho owner de
mand’d §0u0 for it; experts were appointed,
an<l it was proved that the tree had for years
yielded the owner crops of fruit which sold
for sums equivalent to the interest on tho
amount c uiu *d. By n compromise $600 wan
