The grand excursion which will leave Atlanta for

can behold that inland sea of land the treeless prairie,

The Cry of Hinder.
THRILLING MIDNIGHT SCEJtK.
a Woman
Conduct of
reel of a PHyslcixn
CURES
Rheumatism, Scalds, lameness,
Last evening about ten o’clock citizens on Broad
etreet were alarmed by what appeared to be a serious
disturbance going on in Dr. & F. Salter’s Eclectic
Dispensary. Thii is located on Broad street, between
Alabama and Hunter streets, on the left hand side.
The Doctor oocnples ths whole bnltdlng. The atten
tion of the bystanders wa* attracted by a woman in
her night dress, who paued and rspasssd the second
story window fronting Broad street, apparently in
violent altercation with some person in the room.
Her voice was loud and qnlckly attracted a crowd.
Finally she put her head outside of ths window and
cried murder. A Reporter of Tor Constitution.
together with an officer^ went over to the room, and
npon aeoending to the second floor found only two
persons—Dr. Salter and the lady.
BRR STATRXEFT.
The woman was In a condition of nervous excite
ment if not insanity, which it would be dlfllcnlt to
describe to onr readers. She was questioned at length
by The Constmmox representative as to the cause of
her crying ont. In response to these questions she
made a statement charging Dr. Salter wit nan attempt
to poison her. She stated that he gave her medicine
on Wednesday to care, as he said, a headache, and
which she found ont, from its effects, was poison.
He had attempted to repeat the dose last night, which
was the immediate cause of the trouble. She said ehe
had been living in the house about a year
taking charge of and bearding the Doc
tor’s patients. In her statement, wnich
was very Incoherent, she alluded to crimes
being perpetrated In the boats which are too infa
mous fer ns to mention, until the truth of what she
says can be better established. Dr. Salter has always
been regarded a gentleman of character and position,
and charges of this kind need confirmation before
they can be accented as true. This lady, whoae name
we suppress on acconnt of her family, belongs to a
highly respected frailly of Athens, Ga, Before the
war she was in affluent circumstances, but losing all,
was compelled to take boarders. She appeared to be
nndei the combined influenci b of fear and jealousy,
and thought that Dr. S liter had an ot ject to effect in
getting her ont of the way.
Dr. Salter was taken into custody by an officer and
carried to the Station House, where he remaintd all
last sight, as Captain Jones thought it best not to
take bond.
Ths Ocabtitution’s representative saw him at the
quarters and conversed with him about the trouble.
The Doctor appeared to be a well educated, courteous
man He says that on last Wednesday this lady was
taken with
BILIOUS FEVER,
which has culminated in insatu.y. He denies all of
ner charges in toco, and said that he could not con
ceive what right ehe had or why ehe should be jeai-
ons. He pronounced her to be perfectly crazy, and
says there was never any nnkind feeling between
them until this attack.
THE MISZRRY-
There is but one patient in the boose—ayonng
lady from Schley county, who has been there sixteen
months. She was also questioned by The Consti
tution reporter, bnt could throw so light npon this
affair. She agreed with Dr. Salter as to the house
keeper's ineanity, and as to the billons fever, bnt
gave no new facts. The honss was carefully guarded

all these charges are the offsprings of a brain crazed

March B-tf .
rwhelmfng Opposition to^t*—But
one Alderman out of Four
teen Favor* It.
Rumors prevailing that several members of Conn-
til were advocates of the enactment ot a social evil
law for Atlanta, and the people being exercised some
what to know something about it, a reporter ot The
Constitution visited each member yesterday, and
ascertained his views on the subject.
THE EIRST WARD AGAINST IT.
Alderman Goodwin expressed himself freely as op
posed to anything like legalizing crime as he consid
ered a social evil law would he.
Alderman Haas viewed it as an evil that conld not
be suppressed, yet he was emphatically opposed to
giving it countenance by any measure tike the one
proposed or any other.
THE 8E00ND WARD 87LID AGAINST IT.
Capt. John Keely, the Chairman of the Police
Committee, in his plain. onUpoken way remarked
that the subject had never been agtiatoi in Council,
and he truited never would be. He was emphatically
opposed to (.auctioning crime, and especially one so
grave as this.
^Alderman Ellis declared that such • law conld not
get his absent.
THE THIRD WARD DIVIDED
Alderman Kelly did'nt believe ih,« a meisnre of
this kind would be entertained for a -.oment by ooun
ell. He favored compelling lewd th .-deters to live In
a part of the town to themselves an, whenever they
or their viaitora grew turbnlent briud then up before
the B xsorder. Bnt as to license peopu, to do wrong
he conld never consent to ti.
Alderman Young ssld that In his cp’nion these lewd
houses ought to be licensed and made to return a
revenue to the citv. ju«t as bar rooms do. He thongnt
by throwing certain restrictions around them, estab
lishing quarantine regulations and restricting them to
certain psrts of the city, the -social evil” conld be
checked In part. While these was his views he did no
propose to take any active step towards inmgt.
them.
THE FOURTH WARD FIE3C AGAINST EC.
Alderman Flynn was very decided In hla views on
this question. He would fight it to the bitter end.
Alderman Watkins was firm in his opinions, and
conld see no practical good that conld possibly result
from the passage of each a law. Connell had no righ
to legalize sin, or to overturn the fonudations of
society.
THE F.FTH WARD SQUARE DOWN ON IT.
Alderman Goldsmith is an active worker, and talks
but seldom. Bnt when he talks it is to the point.
He is squarely and unreservedly opposed to each a
movement.
Alderman Simmons thought that not only the
women bnt the male visitors should be brought np
for violating the law. He would never sanction any
measure giving to each infractions ef human as well
as divine law, a quasi endorsement.
THE SIXTH WARD DEAD AGAINST IT.
Alderman Fowler remarked as soon aa this reporter
approached him: “I’m not the man,” “I don’t taka
stock in any such scheme.” He would never lend
his influence to enact such a meisnre.
Alderman McDuffie, while opposed to licensing lewd
houses, thought it would be good to register the
number, street and occupants of the honsei, restrict
them to certain localities, and enact anch other regu
lations as would keep them In proper bounds.
THE SEVENTH WARD A UNIT AOAXNEZ IT.
Langston conld not conceive of any rea
son why snch a law should bs enacted, bnt on the
other hand every reason why It should not. The evil
was a violation of moral as well as of social Jaw, and
it ought not to be given • quasi-respectable character
by legal enactments.
Alderman McMillan did not favor the enactment of
such a measure. Like aome of the oihera, he thought
restriction* and regulations m^ht be thrown aroued
these honeesio check their evil*, without giving lo
the violation of law tlie sanction of legality.
