Near the line of Terrell and Calhoun
counties, J. W. McMillan had a fight with
an alligator a few days ago. The alligator
was seven feet three inches long, and
fought gallantly with his tall until he was
killed by being struck over the head a
number of times with a fence rail. A por

the blows of the alligator’s tail.
A pole car got away from two railroad

Neither one was hurt. The car did not

Judge Brown would do so if he consulted

vised by physicians that it is only in the
liue of judicial work can he hope to divert
his mind from his troubles; that resigna

Ike Thomerson, one of the workmen on
the Macon and Florida railroad, near
Hayneville, on Saturday, while blasting
rock, was in the act of igniting the fuse
when a spark from the match fell into an
open powder can only a few feet away,
ing that the capital shall not be increased
except for par value ot stock paid up in
cash for lines purchased at a valuation to
be approved by the commissioner
of inter-state commerce; second,
providing that telegraph rates for
shorter distances shall never exoeed those
for greater distances. He gave the finan
cial policy of the Western Union tele
graph company at considerable length,
setting forth that an investor having 1000
shares in 1863 had increased his shares to
8000 in 1881 as a result of stock dividends,
without having paid in anything more
than the original investment. An original
investment of about 10,000,000 had been
capitalized at 86,000,000, and the increased
value bad all been paid by the patrons of
the telegraph. Nevertheless he did not
think that the properties of the Western
Union could be duplicated for the present
capitalization, for tne reason that it held
franchises Which in the nature of things
could not be given to a second organiza
tion. The chief of these were arrange
ments with railroad companies, whereby
the Western Union secured the services of
railroad operators whose salaries
are paid by railroads. Moreover,
it was impossible in many cases,
even if the railroad companies were so dis
posed, that any more lines of telegraph
should be permitted along the lines of
railroads without interfering with the
telegraph and running service of the road.
He stated that investments had been made
by the Western Union directors for their
own benefit, which were not in the inter
ests of the stockholders, and cited as an
illustration, the lease of the Atlantic cables
laid by Gould and others, at an expense of
between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and
leased to the Western Union on a basis of
$5,000,000, while at the same time the
f iroperty was operated at a loss, or at very
ittle profit. The Western Union had never
been managed in the interest of the
public, and a private line would
be managed more economically
than one owned and operated by the gov
ernment. He said that since 1888 the
Western Union has received in tolls $186,-
000,000. Its expenses have been $100,090,-
000. Of this $86,000,000, $47,000,000 have
been expended in dividends, $18,000,000 in
the construction of new lines, $4,000,000 in
the purchase of other lines, $10,000,000 in
sinking funds and bonds redeemed, and

j FOREIGN ARTISTS GIVEN ALL THE
WORK BY MARSH AND MADAME.
If Raphael Fainted Those Pictures, Why
Not Collect Duty on Them?—Mine.
Dlss Debar to Meet Herrmann
In a Test Seance, Etc.
Michael Angelo and Raphael, Leonardo
da Vinci and vitian, Reubens and Ten-
niers, and other distinguished members of
the society of Departed Artists, were busy
with palette and brush yesterday in their
studio in Mme. Diss Debar’s residence, No..
166 Madison aveDue. They were touching
up their pictures for the coming exhibi
tion at Cnickeriog hall. Michael Angelo’s
ghostly hand had lost none of its cunning;
Raphael hnstled about; Leonardo da Vinci
mixed unseen pigments; Titian went over
his glowing canvas with an invisible brush,
and Tenniera bopped about painting peas
ants. The old habit was strong on the
great painters.
It is believed to be more than a mere
rumor that there is considerable jealousy
among the ghosts of American painters
over the exclusively foreign character of
the art work done in Mme Diss. Debar’s
house. It is considered that the talent of
home ghosts should at least be given an
opportunity, if not positive encourage
ment. The pale shades of many Ameri
can painters would doubtless be flattered
by an order for a canvas. People who
neglected to encourage American artists
when they were alive, might now have
the pleasure of encouraging them after
they are dead. It might be both a com
pensation and a gratification to an Ameri
can artist who had starved to death to find
his pictures in lively demand when he had
become a pale shade.
Every one knows that there is a duty on
pictures painted by foreign artists. It is a
question which may ultimately have to be
decided in the courts, whether or not
Mme. Diss Debar is violating the revenue
the country. In many localities of thin
section fuel is cheap, and no class
product, employing large quantities
iron and timber, bnt would find it advan
tageous to establish themselves in this
section. With cheap bituminous coal, gas
can be manufactured per unit of heat, to
be used in all iron manufacturing pro
cesses, at considerably lower cost tnan
natural gas is sold at in Pittsburg, and
everything made out of wrought Iron
could be made in the south cheaper than
i it coold be at that famous iron city.”—

Women as political workers.
Mrs. Ashton Dilke Tells How They Elec
tioneer In England.
Mrs. Ashton Wentworth Dilke, the
liberal politician from London, talked in
Cbickering Hall yesterday afternoon, on
English Women in Politics. The audience
comprised many of the leading women
suffragists of this city, and those of other
places, who are tarrying in New York on
their way home from the council at Wash
ington- The men were few. Among them
were President Courtlandt Palmer of the
Nineteenth Century club and Max O’Rell.
Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake Introduced
Mrs. Dilke as “a graceful and dignified
representative of those of England who
demand the rights of their sex.” Mrs.
Dilke used notes, bat spoke mainly in a
conversational manner. She was dressed
in a dark green silk grown, with a black
velvet overwaist open in front. On her
bosom she wore a big cluster of white
roses with long stems, and a profusion of
leaves which just matched her dress. She
said:
“Women in England go Into politics be
cause they and tneir relatives nave inter
ests at stake. Women work at the polls
for their fathers and husbands and broth
ers. Ladies in this oountry, it seems, do
not like to go to the polls. We do not
have this feeling. Women do go to the
polling booths over there. But women
there, of the higher classes, have an aver
sion to riding in omnibuses and tram cars.
Here it seems that everybody rides when
she wants to in omnibuses and tram cars,
NEGRO REPUBLICAN*.
1888.
The Hass Meeting Held at the Court Hon
Yesterday.
About fifty negroes attended the republican
mass meeting at the court house yesterday. The
meeting was held for the purpose of selecting
delegatee to the district and state conventions.
The meeting was called to order by Sim Griffin,
W. 8. Cantey, the chairman of the executive
committee, being absent. Griffin read the call
nnder which the meeting was held, after which,
he stated that the election of a chairman waa in
order.
Rev. 8. McCall and D. W. Echols were pat in
nomination, and McCall was elected. B. T.
Harvey waa made secretary.
J. T. Shepherd moved that a committee of five
be appointed to select the delegates to the state
and district conventions.
The motion was opposed by Griffin, Jones and
Henry. A lively wrangle ensued. Henry got the
floor and made a motion to adjourn. This threw
the meeting into a state of wild disorder, and for
a few minutes a dozen men were on the floor,
each demanding the recognition of the chair.
A motion made by Griffin to table Shep
herd’s motion, was carried.
Griffin made a motion to select the delegates by
nomination. Shepherd wanted this motion
tabled, but Griffin’s motion was carried, after
much wrangling.
Jonea nominated Griffin as a delegate to the
district convention. The motion was put by the
chairman and carried. Mose Green and 8. Mc
Call were nominated and voted in. Wilson made
the point that the election of these delegates
was out of order, nnder Griffin’s motion. He
was sustained by Griffin, and the chair stated
that the point was properly made.
The meeting then engaged in another hot
wrangle as to whether the nominations should
be voted upon singly, or as a whole. The chair
decided that the names should be voted upon in
the order in which they were nominated.
The following delegates were then selected:
District convention—Sim Griffin, B. F. Harvey,
Felix Watt, William Reed.
Alternates—A. Jones, A. Toles, N. Roof, N.
Green.
State convention—E. H. Miller, 8. McCall,
Joe Dozier; Abner Webb.
Alternates — E. Wilson, D. W. Echols, B.
W. Griffin, G. Ferrell.
E. H. Miller submitted resolutions, endorsing
R. D. Locke, and instructing the delegation irom
Muse igee connty to support him for a delegate
to the national convention. The resolutions
were adopted, except that part which pledged
support to Locke.
The following executive committee was select
ed: E. H. Miller, A. Webb, M. B. Green, A.
Jones, F. Watt, W. 8. Cantey, 8. McCall, A.
Toles, Rev. E. Jackson, E. Wilson. This com
mittee was empowered to increase the number
to seventeen, and to elect its own chairman and
secretary.

A CLERGYMAN ON TRIAL.
Accused of Marrying While His Former
Wife was Still Alive.
Philadelphia, April 5.—The ecclesias
tical court, appointed at the last diocesan
convention or the Protestant Episcopal
church, to try the Rev. Howard T. Walde-
mer of the church of the Beloved Discip
les, convened to-day in the Church of the
E piphany. The charges presented against
the accused minister are substantially as
follows:
It is alleged that Mr. Widdemer was
married in Albany, New York, in 1871 to
Josephine Dodson of that place, with
whom he lived for ten years, and who
bore him a child. In New York papers
ol' mutual agreement of separation were
executed ana witnessed, by which, it is
said, Mrs. Widdemer was to retain the
child, a boy. At the time Mr. Widdemer,
who had charge of a parish in New York,
claimed that the separation was on ac
count of his wife’s desertion. Subse
quently he sued for a divorce, basing his
claim on the ground of desertion. No
answer was made to the suit, and the di
vorce was granted. It is further alleged
that, after obtaining the divorce, he mar
ried one Julia Dewitt, his former wife,
Josephine Dodson, being alive, which was
contrary to the rules of the Protestant
Episcopal church. It is also charged that
Mr. Widdemer erred in informing the
bishop of this diocese that his divorce
from Josephine Dodson was on the ground
of adultery.

learned there, and a-e introducing their
pictures into this country without pausing
at the custom house. As these pictures
are not introduced by any one living in
this country they are certainly foreign
goods within the meaning of the statute
and as much subject to duty as other for
eign products.
Without meaning any disrespect to
Mme. Diss Debar, Micnael Angelo, Ra
phael, Titian and their co-workers, it must
>e said that these pictures are painted
by pauper labor — and by the
most dangerous pauper labor. Michael
Angelo ana Titian do not get one penny,
for tne pictures which they paint for Mme.
Diss Debar. Neither do Leonardo da Vinci
and Reubens. They do not get as much as
the Italians who sweep the streets. They
are the only foreigners in the United
States who work for nothing, and manage
to exist at the same time. If Mme. Diss
Debar has brought Michael Angelo, Raph
ael, Leonardo aa Vinci and the rest to
Madison avenue, New York, under a con
tract, she has unwittingly broken the con
tract labor law, and conla be sued by the
Academy of Design.
If American artists have protection
when they are living they ought to have
it when they are dead. They ought to
have it all the more after death, because
that is the very time they reap their har
vest. When they are dead their i ictures
sell high, their fame rises. It is not too
much to say that pictures by the ghosts of
American artists should be admitted duty
free, but that pictures done by the ghosts
of foreign artists should be kept out by a
high tariff. Give the ghosts ot the poor
American artists a chance.
Mme. Diss Debar was busy with the
S hosts of the great painters at No. 166
iadison avenue when a reporter called
there yesterday afternoon, and it would
have been obviously unfair to have called
her from such delightful company.
Young Dr. Lawrence, tne son of an emi
nent spiritualist of Trenton, New Jersey,
was in the parlor, and politely gave infor
mation. He said that the rumor that
Mme. Dias Debar had accepted Magician
Hermann’s challenge was true. She
wonld appear at Cbickering Hall
Sunday night. If the magician was
able to do any feat which Mme.
Diss Debar accomplished, or was able to
explain it, she would give him $1000. It
he tailed, be was to give $1090 to some
charity.
She would next lecture iu Washington,
and would afterward make a tour of the
country. Dr. Lawrence was confident that
the pictures were produced by supernat
ural means, and that Mme. Diss Debar
would be able to demonstrate that they

On ’Change.
New York, April 7.—The stock market
was on a lower level this morning than
the final figures of yesterday. Though
there was some reaction, the gains were
again lost at the close. London was a
seller at the opening and the first sales
were made at concessions from last even
ing’s prices of from 1 to j per cent, with
Louisville anfl Nashville showing the larg
est decline. There was good buying on
the part of commission nooses, however,
and this was sufficient to turn tne market
upward in early trading, with coalers lead
ing the advance, which, however, was con
fined to fractional amounts only. The de
mand was soon satisfied an i prioes fluctu
ated over an extremely narrow range for
the rest of the first nonr, when selling
began to tell again and values yielded
slowly. London selling Reading, St. Paul,
Lake Shore and Louisville ana Nashville.
The professionals also took the profits ac
crued on yesterday’s advance, and the
gains for the first hour were completely
wiped out at the close. Beyond the ac
tivity in Reading, business was almost to
tally devoid of feature, though Lake Shore
and Western Pacific rose 1 per cent, and
Burlington dropped over that amount
when the general list was advancing. The
close was quiet and heavy. Business
amounted to 146,000 shares, to which Read
ing contributed one-third. Almost every
thing is lower this evening, though the
losses are confined to fractions, Louisville
and Nashville showing the largest decline,

An Expert's Testimony.
There are probably few men in America
better posted in all the requirements of
iron making than Mr. Fred. W. Gordon,
the celebrated furnace builder of Philadel
phia. Mr. Gordon is a noted expert, and
his firm has built many ot the finest
furnaces in the country. Some months
ago he wrote for the Manufacturers’ Rec
ord an article on the possibilities of iron
making in the south, which astonished
many who did not folly realize the une-
qualed advantages ot that section of this
industry. Recently he has given, in an in
terview in the Nashville American, some
additional facts of interest.
“It has been the policy of the southern
people, in fret,” said Mr. Gordon, “to pat
up nothing but the best furnaces, and they
are very much superior on the average to
those of the north. Of coarse, this is due
to the fact that they are all new plants,
while many of the northern are old ones.
There is no ooontry in the world that hds
advanced so rapidly in manufacture as
southern Tennessee, northern Alabama
and a portion of Georgia within the last
few years.
Though this section of the south will
have a capacity of about 1,125,000 tons of
pig iron per annum, the ore and coal fields
and the umber will far exoeed the require
ments, and it is true that many of the com
panies might go on trebling their capacity,
and yet have practically perpetual stores
of minerals to draw upon. There is no
question but this section of the
south can produce iron cheaper,
I am sore, than any other large
seotion of the country. For.lack, how
ever, of mannfhcuring enterprises to con
sume their production, the price of pig
Iron at these southern furnaces is flxea at
the market price of the north, leas freights.
Henoe the great inducements for manufac
turers to establish themselves In this sec
tion, whence the goods Car one freight
ooet could be distributed throughout
“in which women do not figure as cam
paign orators.”
“There has been great, advance made in
the woman movement,” she continued,
“since the conservative party invented the
Primrose league. This is very like any
political organization. It is odd in that a
member of it is called a ‘dame of the
Primrose league,’ and a committee in any
place is called a ‘habitation.’ A man who
joins it is known as a ‘knight harbinger.’
The secretaries are called ‘chancellors’ or
‘wardens.’ There are 350,000 members,
and they all pay in from half a crown to a
guinea a year, and so the conservative
party gets a good deal of money for elec
tion purpeses. Lady Randolph Ghnrchill,
an American and a New Yorker, is a most
prominent member of the Primrose
league. She asks for votes from house to
house, makes speeches for her hus
band and goes right* into politics.
Yet she never thought of doing anything
like that here. There is a story of Lady
Randolph that once while she was elec
tioneering she came across an old voter
who remembered how the duchess of
Devonshire secured a vote from a butcher
for Fox in the days of the contests of Pitt
and Fox by letting the butcher kiss her
cheek. Lady Randolph was working for
Bartlett, who married an old woman,
Baroness Burdett-Coutts. twice his age.
The old voter related to tne beautiful Lady
Randolph Churchill the story of the Lady
of Devonshire and the butcher, with an in
direct bnt eloquent wish that the same op
portunities might be afforded him. But
Lady Randolph wasn’t going to imitate
the duchess, and so she said, I will refer
you to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts.
[Laughter.]
“The Primrose league was started by
men, to make use of women. But I don’t
think tbat the men have profited by it as
they thought they would. It was a con
servative measure, and it has been antag
onized by the liberal party through the
formation, within three years, of many
clubs among the liberal women. So there
are two bodies, opposing bodies, of wo
men, in English politics. Mrs. Gladstone
herself is president of the combination of
the Women’s Liberal associations. The
clubs in each town, or city, have brought
out local talent, and so there is a center of
feminine political activity in the districts.
Sometimes the contests get so fierce that
there are prospects or physical rows
at the meetings. In such cases I don’t
think the women ought to go to the gath
erings. I always say I shall stay at home.
But there is never a fight at the woman’s
meeting, unless the men cause it.”
Mrs. Dilke told of one of the great
fights at a meeting of women. The meet
ing was at Kensington, and was on the
home rule question. A party of unionists
and home rulers attended, and, do what
the women could, the men would fight.
Several members of parliament had tneir
heads broken, and eight men were ar
rested. Several of the disturbers admitted
they had been paid to go to the meeting
and raise a row.

His Future Plans.
We violate no confidence when we state
that the rumor that Jay Gould has return
ed to settle np his affairs and retire per
manently from Wall street, is not entirely
authentic. Mr. Gould has frequently set
tled up his affairs and retired permanently
from Wall street before; and it is worth
noting that when he resumed it was gen
erally considered a hint for other specu
lators to retire permanently from wall
street without settling up their affairs,
leaving that little formality to the as
signees.—Life.
The Stand-Pipe.
Mr. B. F. Archer, president of the Colnmbus
Water Works company, will leave for Philadel
phia this morning. While in Philadelphia Mr
Archer will let the contract for the erection of
the proposed stand-pipe in this city. Mr. Archer
informed a reporter last night that he would re
turn to this city about the first of May, and that
the work of erecting the stand-pipe would begin
immediately after nis return. The stand-pipe
will be 120 feet high from the level of the market
house floor. It will be ornamental ia construc
tion, and will hold 200,000 gallons. This will be
a valuable adjunct to the water works system.

Anniversary of the Public Library,
The seventh annual meeting of the Columbus
Public Library association will be held at the
library roo ns on next Wednesday night, the 11th
inst. It will be an occasion of great interest. A
new board of directors is to be elected, and other
important matters of business are to be attended
to. The annual library address will be delivered
by Prof. C. C. Thach of Auburn, Alabama. Prof.
Thach is one of the finest scholars in English
literature in the south, and he is a young man of
marked ability as a spoaker and writer. The ad
dress will doubtless be both instructive and edi

Georgia Routh of Chappell’s seminary, has kind
ly consented to furnish the music with which
the programme will be interspersed. The exercises
will be free, and the public is cordially invited
to attend.
