AND ANOTHER WILL BE—A NEGRO
FORGER—A WEDDING.
Brunswick, Ga., November 19.—[Spe
cial.]—Sheriff Robertson, of Wayne coun
ty, arrived here this afternoon after the
negro Henry Moore, who is to be hanged
in Jesup, Friday at noon. He will leave
with him tomorrow morning. Moore bru
tally murdered his wife and was brought
here after conviction for safe keeping.
Rev. Dr. Wynn has been praying with him
for weeks and he has professed religion.
Mr. Ira Smith, his attorney, has been work
ing for a reprieve, but Governor Northen
telegraphed today refusing to interfere.
ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR HEMP.
Sheriff Branch of Appling arrived here
this evening with Peter Crosby, implicated
in poisoning Jesse Crummey, near Baxley
last Saturday morning. There was talk
of trying to lynch him tonight so he was
brought here to get him out of the way.
A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Mr. Albert Hillsman, of Macon, was
married to Miss Anna Bell Scharlott, here
this afternoon. There was a brilliant
reception tonight after which the couple
left for Macon their future home.
GRAND TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION.
There was a grand torchlight procession
tonight. Banners bearing Gordon’s name
were flying in the air, anil all hands were
out. It was a glorious time.
A NEGRO FORGER.
A negro in Savannah, Tom Hines,
forged a draft for $100 on the First Nat
ional bank of this city today. He came
here, stole of a Brunswick negro, went to
Savannah and sent the draft on in the
Brunswick negro’s name. The officers
are after him, and it is thought he will be
caught tonight.
THE SITUATION IN I.ONDON.
THE SUB ACUTE PANIC THOUGHT TO BF.
OVER.
London, November 19.—The Stock
Exchange today was a prey to rumors,
none of which was founded on facts. It
will be astonishing if today’s consterna
tion is not followed by a sharp rally.
There is nothing in the monetary situa
tion to create uneasiness. The Bank of
England’s return will probably exceed
£14,000,000, and is expected to reach
£16,000,000 a week later. Every facility
will be given by the Bank of England
and other banks to borrowers on stocks
and other securities. The country
hanks have ceased to draw money from
London, and there is every appearance
that the sub-acute panic is over. There
was a sharp rally this afternoon all around.
Prices did not fully recover, but the mar
ket was reassured, and business, which
had been practically impossible, was re
sumed even in the most speculative
stocks.
ROBBED THE MESSENGER.
DARING ACT OF A MASKED MAN AT TIP-
TON, IND.
Tipton, Ind., November 19.—The Unit
ed States Express Company was robbed of
a money package containing $1,000 at an
early hour this morning. Elmer Meek
er, the agent, received the package
from the messenger of the north
bound train at 12:33, and was leaving his
office yvhen he was attacked by a masked
man. Meeker was knocked senseless, his
keys to the safe taken and the money
package secured. Meeker regained con
sciousness before the robber departed, and
opened fire on him without effect. The
thief returned the fire, seriously injuring
the agent’s right hand. There is no clue
to the robber.
THE ANARCHISTS MUST GO.
Berne, November 19.—A fresh expul
sion of anarchists from Switzerland is im
minent.
Birmingham’s budget..
Birmingham, Ala., November 19.—
[Special.]—The annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, for
North Alabama, convened at the First
Methodist church in this city today. Be
tween 200 and 300 ministers and laymen
are in attendance from all over North
Alabama. Bishop J. C. Granbery, of
Virginia, reviewed the city this morning
and is presiding over the sessions of the
conference. He will preach next Sunday.
At today’s session little was done but the
assignment of delegates to their homes
and the appointment of committees.
Delegates are coming in on every train
and already the price of spring chickens
has advanced to an alarmingly high figure.
The conference will be in session for a
week. It will be one of the most import
ant clerical meetings of the year in Ala
bama.
CORNER STONE LAID.
The exercises of the laying of the corner
stone of the South Side Baptist church
took place at the new church, corner of
avenue F and Twentieth street, today.
Rev. W. L. Pickard, Dr. D. I. Purser and
Dr. B. F. Riley delivered addresses. The
new church now in course of construction
will cost $50,000 when finished.
miners’ meeting.
The miners at Pratt mines, employed by
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company, held a large mass meeting with
closed doors this afternoon. Its object
was to consider the advisability of asking
for a raise of 5 cents per ton on the price
of mining coal. All the coal miners in the
Birmingham district manifest a feeling of
unrest and desire to change the present
plan of -working, and at the same time get
an increase of wages. Already this de
mand has been made of the DeBardeleben
Coal and Iron Company at Johns. It is
not likely any of these demands will be ac
ceded to, and serious labor troubles may
follow.

President Mitchell announced that John
B. Gordon, having received a majority 01
the votes cast in each house, was duly
elected Senator for the term beginning
March 4, 1891, and continuing for six
years.
A notable thing about this election is
the general good humor that prevails.
There were plenty of anti-Gordon men
yesterday before dinner, but they are very
scarce today.
“Oh, well,” they say, “I voted against
him yesterday, but I’m a Gordon man
now.”
LEGISLATIVE ROUTINE.
The Senate, “that honorable body,” etc.,
had little or no new matter introduced to^
day. Three bills of a general nature were
introduced.
By Senator Eason of the Third—To pro
hibit the running of exclusion trains on
Sunday, and describing what shall be
known as excursion trains.
By Harp of the Twenty-fourth—To pre
scribe and make certain tLeJfees of elerks
and sheriffs of Superior courts in the mat
ter of divorce suits.
By Lane of the Sixteenth—Providing
for a board of equalization of real and per
sonal property, subject to taxation in this
State—corresponding to this board of tax
assessors, now had in several of the cities
of the State.
THE HOUSE DO WORK.
Lectured Crawford, the colored brother
from McIntosh, got in a new bill today.
This is the first time that either one of the
negroes has been heard from, except now
and then a motion to adjourn.
Gilbert, of Muscogee, introduced a bill
to amend section 3,245 of the code, so as
to hold special terms of the Superior
Courts for disposing of civil cases.
Several other new bills were introduced.
White, of Hart—To amend section 3,854
of the code, making the wife competent to
testify against her husband for any crim
inal offense made or attempted “upon her
property,” as well as upon her person.
Also, to prescribe three years as the time
of residence of applicants for divorce, and
a great number of local bills.
A number of bills were read the second
or third time.
There was a local option skirmish this
morning over a bill by Maxwell, of Talbot.
It was a quasi victory for the local option-
ists, the bill being recommitted with in
structions to insert a clause protecting
local acts on this matter.
GENERAL NOTES.
The hall of representatives was turned
over for tonight to the W. C. T. U.
The speakers are Mrs. Mary Latlirop, of
Michigan, and Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, of
Missouri.
Tomorrow night Mrs. Mary A. Hunt,
also of the W. C. T. U., will deliver an
address in the hall of representatives. She
is the superintendent of scientific instruc
tion of the order.
Then on the 27th the legislators are
going in a body to Milledgeville to take
part in the exercises at the laying of the
corner-stone of the Girls’ Normal and In
dustrial College.
A committee on adjournment was ap
pointed this morning; to look into the bus
iness before the General Assembly, and to
come before it and to fix a time for ad
journment.
Mr. Boifeuillet, of Bibb, introduced a
bill this morning at the request of the
Georgia Teachers’ Association, one import
ant feature in which is to pay teachers
quarterly, and also to enforce the law that
the common school fund shall not at any
time be diverted to other purposes.
T. Warren Akin, of the Seventh, will be
remembered as one of the speakers at the
artesian well last night. He captured the
crowd with his paraphrase of the old
nursery rhyme:
“Pat Calhoun! Pat Calhoun!
Mao.une’s man,
Bake him in the oven as fast as you can;
Pat him and bake him
And keep him for tea;
He’ll make a good breakfast
For Gordon ana me.”
It’s the go now, like Annie Rooney was,
and the Golden Stairs used to be; and the
refrain of the hotel gossip now is “Pat
Calhoun,” etc.
The W. C. T. U. and the National
Grange both adjourned today, the W. C.
T. U. delegates going to Indian Springs to
look after the establishment there of an
inebriate asylum, the Grangers going
home.
Now that they are gone, and the Sena
torial election over, the city drops back
into its customary even tenor.
I noticed the “sick list” of yesterday,the
day of the election, pretty well represented
in the House today.
It appears that there were no “sick”
people in the Senate, as the resalt there
was certain.

THE ALABAMA CONTEST
CANDIDATES STILL STRUGGLING
FOR THE SENATORIAL PRIZE.
THE BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS IN THE
CAUCUS WITHOUT RESULT—TALK
TURNING TO DARK HORSES.
Montgomery, November 19.—[Spe
cial.]—The caucus of the Democratic
members of the Alabama Legislature was
called to order promptly at 7:30 o’clock
tonight. One hundred and twenty-six
members of the caucus answered to their
names. There was on every hand an ap
pearance of determination observable
while the friends of the three leading can
didates for the Senatorship were
confident that there would be noth
ing in the night’s proceedings which would
result in the injury of their particular
candidates. Everything possible was done
during the day to advance the interests of
the various candidates. The political pot
boiled in Montgomery today as it has not
boiled in this city in many a day. The
greatest politicians from all sections of the
State were here, and not a minute of today
has been wasted which could be possibly
used in putting in hard licks for this or
that candidate. Nearly every candidate 1
friends held a caucus during the day and
talked over the chances for the balance of
the battle. Every one seems satisfied, and
to the outsider, looking on calmly, without
bias or preference, it looks as though the
battle would be long and bitter. While
the known and active leaders of the vari
ous candidates are positive and outspoken
in the belief that one of them will ultimate
ly be nominated, equally shrewd politic
ians, who are looking on and taking very
little, if any, active interest in the battle
are beginning already to discuss dark
horses. These men believe, or seem to be
lieve, that the antagonisms of the fight as
it now stands will prevent the possibility
of the nomination of any man now in the
race. There is a strong feeling here in
favor of Congressman Clarke, of Mobile, as
a possibilily, and it is now, at the opening
of the caucus, in the air that Dick Clarke
will get some votes before the night is
over.
THE BALLOTS.
The first ballot resulted: Pugh 39, Kolb
31, Seay 34, Watts 13.
The tenth ballot stood: Pugh. 39, Kolb
38, Seay 35, Watts 14.
The eleventh ballot: Pugh 43, Kolb 41,
Seay 33, Watts .
The eleventh ballot was taken over be
cause there appeared to be one vote too
many on the first call. It next resulted:
Pugh 46, Kolb 38, Seay 32, Watts 10.
On the twelfth ballot the vote resulted:
Pugh 51, Kolb 34, Seay 30, Watts, 12.
The thirteenth ballot—Pugh 49, Kolb
36, Seay 34, Watts 8.
The fourteenth was the last ballot taken
for the night, and resulted: Pugh 44, Kolb
33, Seay 38, Watts 11.
The caucus adjourned to meet again at
7:30 o’clock to-morrow night.
SMALL DEPOSITORS FRIGHTENED.
THEY MAKE A BUN ON A BOWERY BANK.
New York, November 19.—The uncer
tainty in financial circles has caused an
unsettled feeling to possess the minds of
those who have deposits in the banks of
the city, particularly among the poor peo-
Depositors in the Citizens’ Savings
Bank of the City of New York, at Bowery
and Canal streets, besieged its doors today
from the opening hour till 6 o’clock, when
the doors were closed with difficulty. All
day long crowds surrounded the bank and
clamored for admission. The officials paid
the demands of depositors with as much
expedition as possible, but it was impossi
ble to pass over the money quickly enough
satisfy the applicants, who were laboring
under the impression that the bank had
failed. President Quintan!, at the close
the day, said about $100,000 had been
paid out, an average of about $75 to the
depositor. Quintard said the bank was all
right. He showed by the books that the
bank had a surplus of $1,400,003. There
was $1,360,000 subject to check at any
time. The assets amounted to $13,419,-
841. About $12,000,000 were due depos
itors.

Washington, November 19.—General
Schofield today received a telegram from
General Miles stating that troops had been
sent to Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies,
upon representations that the Indians were
beyond the control of the agent and the
Indian police.
REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 19.—The markets,
from the extremity of demoralization at
the opening, recovered some semblance of
returning calm after the middle of the
session, and, following the sensational de
clines, prices gradually recovered and
averaged higher at the close today than at
the corresponding time yesterday. May
wheat, after declining 2$c, not only recov
ered this loss entirely, but added fc to
yesterday’s closing quotation. In the
wheat pit, which was the centre
of the excitement prevailing at the
opening, buyers kept their mouths
closed for a moment and accordingly a
deafening noise went up simultaneously
with the signal to begin, from the thro ts
of the panic stricken holders. Wheat,
which yesterday afternoon closed at 98$c,
was vainly offered at 97c, and not until
the seller disappeared, willing to accept
96$c, did the buyers come forth in any
great numbers. Transactions took place
at the same moment at 9fc and 96$c.
There may have been a trade or two at 97c,
and there were certainly some at 96c. De
cember was almost smothered out of hear
ing when the business started. May now
having secured the greater part of the
patronage of speculators, it was of
fered at anywhere from 89$c to
88$c at the commencement, with some
transactions passing at both extremes.
All the demoralization indicated by the
foregoing proceeded from the apprehen
sion of some pending peril. There was
nothing in the usual Government influ
ences before business started to account
for the increase of the panicky feeling
which prevailed. Cables, it is true, re
ported that the English market for bread-
stuffs was weak, and wheat lower,
bnt less than this could not
have been expected to follow
yesterday’s extreme weakness here. There
was a free covering of shorts at the open
ing of the market and so long as prices of
December kept down around 99c. and May
remained in the neighborhood of 96$ to
97c., and later there was considerable
buying for long account. A feeling of
alarm was replaced by one of moderate
hopefulness, while reports from New York
brought no tidings of any fresh disaster
there and quotations for stocks showed an
improving market for good securities.
May, in the course of the last hours of
business, advanced to 98c., reacted to 98c.
and had a strong closing.
commotion at the commencement, and
heavy transactions were recorded during
the first half hour. The opening price for
May was 50$ and it sold 50$ within a min
ute or two therefore, and there was a
quick recovery to 51$. Prices remained
within the limits of 51 and 514 for a con
siderable time, and then became firmer,
advancing to 52$. There was very little
trading in other futures.
Oats opened wild and unsettled, with
sales for May at 1 to 1$ decline, and
quickly receded $ more. After the flurry
subsided, a better feeling developed and
the market closed steady at a net decline
of 1$ to If from yesterday.
Pork—The trading was heavy and
prices on the whole range declined 60 to
65c. At the decline, the demand improved
and, a9 there were less pressure to sell,
prices gradually rallied 60 to 80c and the
market closed comparatively steady.
Lard—There was a very brisk trade.
Opening sales were made at 7$ to 10c de
cline. Later, the demand improved and
prices rallied 20 to 22c and closed com
paratively steady.
Short Rib Sides—The trading was heavy
at an irregular range of prices. The
opening sales were made at 5c decline and
a further reduction of 10c was quickly
submitted to. At the decline buyers were
more inclined to take hold and prices
rallied 15 to 17$c and closed comparatively
steady.
Washington, November 19.—General
Miles telegraphs from Chicago todav to
the Adjutant General of the army that the
reports today are of the same threatening
P l?\ Rul S e - Troops’have been
ordered to that agency and Rosebud to
give protection and encourage the loval
and restrain, if possible, the turbulent.’
The military are using every effort to re
strain and avoid an outbreak, or at least
to bridge over the time between this and
severe cold weather. It i s believed any
other course may precipitate hostilities.
Thus far no Indians have been reported as
having left their reservation with hostile
intent.
Gen. Schofield telegraphed Gen. Miles
as follows:
*T approve of the measures you have
taken in sending troops to the Rosebud
and Pine Ridge agencies, and also of your
proposed efforts, while giving necessary
protection to agencies and restraining as
far as possible turbulent Indians, to avoid
if possible an outbreak or any active hos
tilities for the present until the
advancing season and further pepara-
tions shall make the operation of
the troops more surely effective with less
danger to the surrounding settlement.
The cavalry and artilery at Fort Riley
and all other valuable troops will
be placed under your orders, if the
emergency seems to require it.”
A dispatch from the Rosebud agency
says that by tomorrow the Indians at both
Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies will find
themselves confronted by the largest force
of troops that has ever been assembled in
the United States since the Geromino out
break in Arizona, and that confidence
has been re-established here. This force
embraces eight companies of infantry and
six companies of cavalry, under Gen
Brooke. Seven companies of the
Seventh Infantry are in readiness
to start from Fort Russell at Cheyenne at
an hour’s notice. They can reach Pine
Ridge in forty hours. The Pine Ridge
and Rosebud agencies are only fifty miles
apart.

M. Baker, inan&ging editor of the Times

terday from Honduras stating that his
brother, Colonel Alden H. Baker, was
killed on the 14th instant while serving
under President Brogran. Colonel Baker
was a gallant ex-Confederate soldier and
was forty-four years of age. He leaves a
wife and three children, who are now in
this city. He went to Hon
duras about five years ago
and took charge of the police
department of the republic. This position
he held until about six weeks ago, when
the revolution broke out Colonel Baker,
Charles D. Beyer, his successor, Bertie
Cicile, telegraph manager, and Captain
Frank Imkoden, all Americans, were on
the Atlantic coast. By forced marches
they reached Brogran’s headquarters in
four days, formed his army, and were in
the fights which resulted in the overthrow
of the revolution.
GINNERY IN ASHES.
TWO NEGROES BADLY BURNED BY THE
RAPID FLAMES—LOSS $1,200—NO
INSURANCE.
Mechanicsville, Ala., November 19.
[Special.]—Mrs. C. A. Powledge’s gin
nery, near Wacoochee, was totally de
stroyed by fire late yesterday afternoon.
A match, or friction of the gin, ignited the
lint and the building was almost instan
taneously enveloped in flames. The cloth
ing of William Andrews, who was packing
cotton in the half filled press, and of Rich
land Pierce, carrying lint in his arms
thereto, instantly ignited, and they were
badly burned about the face and hands,
saw them after midnight, and while their
swollen faces were terrible to behold, they
did not appear to be suffering very much
and doubtless will recover. There was no
insurance on building or machinery. The
loss is about $1,200, divided as follows:
Mrs. Powledge, building, old gin and
feeder, $500.
J. C. Tillery, new gin and feeder, $250;
est : mated damage to machinery $150.
B. H. Powledge, 800bushels cotton seed.
He and tenants two bales cotton $170.
A. Stevens and tenant, one bale cotton
$45.
R. F. Madden, cotton and seed $25.
The engine may prove a total loss. It
was new, costing $250.
SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New York, November 19.—Futures
opened at ten points decline, closing firm
at two to three points decline on near
months and partially one point advance
on late months, from yesterday’s closing
prices. The early decline was due, not
only to the sharp break that took place in
Liverpool, but to the renewal of the dis
turbing financial news from London,
whereIhe Bank of England was making
some difficulty respecting the ac
ceptance of Barring Bros. When
the November option sold at
9c there was great cheering from the bears,
this price won for them many wagers,
but there was a quick rally, aided by the
partial recovery at Liverpool. Late in the
day the market became quite buoyant,
owing to small receipts at the ports and
the general improvement in the financial
sitnation, which not only led to fresh
buyers to cover, but some long for a rise.

THE INDIAN SPRINGS SITE
YESTERDAY.
Atlanta, November 19.—The dele
gates to the W. C. T. U. spent today at
Indian Springs, where it is proposed to
establish an inebrate asylum nuder the
auspices of the National Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union. The ladies were
the guests of the citizens. Speeches were
made and a banquet was given the visitors.
site and the nucleus of a fund are
offered by Indian Springs for the estab
lishment there of such an institution. The
waters there are famous, and it is
claimed that they furnish a
sure cure for the whisky habit. Efforts
have been made to get the State of Geor
gia to put an inebriate asylum there, but
they have failed through legislative ideas
of economy.
Several resolutions passed by the con
vention, but omitted in the report of the
committee were furnished by the secretary
today, oneof which is as follows:
Resolved, That the National W. C. T. U.
has never planned or proposed to organize
a new church, nor has our president ever
advised us to undertake any such work.
The unfinished business from yesterday
was placed in the hands of an executive
committee, which met in secret session to
day. Boston has been selected as the next
place of meeting a year hence. The dele
gates will leave tomorrow for their homes,
with the exception of the members of the
executive committee and board of super
intendents. If these two bodies finish
their work tomorrow they will go direct to
Chicago to take part in a meeting relative
to the World’s Women Christian Tem
perance Union.
PROF. KOCH IN LUCK.
THE GERMAN EMPEROR WILL GIVE HIM A
TITLE.
Berlin, November 19.—As a reward
for his services in the interest of medical
science, the Emperor will probably confer
a title of nobility upon Prof. Koch. The
professor states that the government must
prepare the lymph used in the cure of
tuberculosis. Tomorrow’s number of the
German Medical Weekly will cantain an
article signed by Drs. Bergmann Fraentzel,
William Lesly and Staff Surgeon Koehlin,
in which they declare, after experiments
many different cases, they are pre
pared to fully endorse Prof. Koch’s
statement regarding his remedy. Some of
the evening papers warn the public
against the illusions entertained by many
regarding the efficacy of Koch’s remedy.
They also complain that the stock of
lymph is being exhausted.
The Tagblatt says that Koch’s proce
dure so far is open to severe criticism, be
cause he has only given his lymph to a few
colaborers whom he could thoroughly
trust to follow his instructions, while the
great scientific establishments and hos
pitals are excluded from the
benefits of the discovery. The Tag
blatt considers that the dissatisfaction
among medical men and many patients
who are anxious to submit to treatment, is
quite justified, and declares that the pres
ent arrangements must be altered. The
demand for Koch’s syringes is so great
that the manufacturers are unable to fill
all their orders.
A DISTINGUISHED ACTRESS
LYING AT THE POINT OF DEATH IN PHIL
ADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, November 19.—Miss
Jaffa Marlowe, the actress, is today lying
at the point of death, with the only hope
for life depending on an almost hopeless
surgical operation. Miss Marlowe was
taken sick with typhoid fever three weeks
ago and last Friday passed the crisis of
the disease in safety, and but for complica
tions would by this time have been in a
fair way of recovery. Sunday the glands
in her throat began to swell, abscesses
formed from which blood poisoning set in.
and she is now in imminent danger of
death. Her physicians have hesitated to
operate npon the abscesses, as in her
weakened condition they considered she
would not be able to survive it. This
afternoon at 3 o’clock they will hold aeon-
saltation, and as she will inevitably die it
operation is not performed they will prob
ably decide to onen the abscesses, although
her chances of "living through the opera
tion are small.
