2 A PROCURESS GIVES BAIL HER BONDSMAN A MERCHANT OF THIS CITY. Atlanta Confident That the SI,OOO Put up Will be Forfeited The Gov ernor Remits Half of a DoKalb Coun ty Man’s Fine -Guns Brought Back From Columbus. Atlanta, Ga., May 10.—Etta Henderson, alias Gertrude Batley, the negro procuress from Savannah, who tried to allure young white girls of this city to ruin, was released from jail to-day on bond. Justice Tanner bound her over in each case in SSOO. A well known gentleman of this city signed the bond in obedience to a telegram from a friend of the woman, who lives in Savan nah. She stated that a merchant of Savan nah was her friend, and was instrumental in getting her out of jail. She said he was a man of family. YV. J. Albert and W. Adolph Brandt, lawyers here, made elo quent appeals to Judge Marshall Clarke to reduce the l>ond, which lit- rightly de clined to do, because the evidence against the woman is very strong. It is believed here that the woman will not come back for trial and that somebody will have to pay out a thousand dollars. Siie left for Savannah this afternoon. August Fleisch, proprietor of a wine room, was fined SSOO for violating the pro hibition law to-day and bound over to the City Court in the sum of $1,0;H). HALF HIS FIXE REMITTED. On petition of many citizens and officials of DeJvalb county, the Solicitor General and representatives in the legislature, the Governor has remitted one-half of the fine of J. H. Kimbrell, convicted at the March term of DoKalb Superior Court of violating the local option law and fined $250. A requisition was issued to-day for Henry Pope, a negro charged with larceny in Chattooga county, and undor arrest in Gadsden, Ala. It is believed he is the negro who committed an outrage on Miss Kendrick, a 10-year-old girl in Chattooga, some months ago, and for whose arrest an execu tive reward of SSOO was offered. GUNS BROUGHT BACK. Nathan Monroe, Secretary of the Adju tant General, returned from Columbus to day with forty-three guns of the old Musco gee Rifles, which are to be turned over to the Gainesville Rifles, anew company. He also wanted the gatling gun at Columbus, it being proposed to give it to the Atlanta artillery. The Columbus military objected to giving up the gun, but it is held subject to orders for delivery to the Atlanta artil lery. It is reliably reported t han Judge New man will appoint Dr. William King, Henry W. Grady’s father-in-law, to the Clerkship of the United States Court. The salary is $3,500, with an allowance for clerical assist ance. Dr. King was formerly in the Comp troller’s office, but is now in the revenue service. The appointment will not be made until July, a delay at which Democrats are not satisfied, as the place is still filled by A. E. Buck, Republican, who is also Clerk of the Circuit Court. CHATTAHOOCHEE’S BOOM. Several Interesting Papers Read Before the Convention. Columbus, Ga., May 10.—The Chatta hoochee Valley Convention, which met here to-day, has attracted the attrition of the entire community.

The Vote Not Materially Changed— Legislative Proceedings. Tallahassee, Fla., May 10.—The Jack sonville Board of Trade petitioned the leg islature to pass the railroad commission bill with the right of appeal and allowing the commission to act only on complaint after hearing. Tho ThomasviHe, Tallahassee and Gulf railroad bill, extending the time for the con struction of this road, passed the House to day under a suspension of the rules and now g *<*n to the Governor. The bills making all railroad property in the hands of their officers and agents sub ject to garnishment, and prescribing the penalty for injuring or obstructing rail roads, were signed by the Speaker and sent to the Governor. The pre requisite poll tax bill and the railroad commission bill were made special orders for to-morrow. TIIK MILITIA BILL. The House spent the afternoon consider ing the militia bill in committee of the whole, without result. The Senate inode the bill forfeiting the Gordon railroad charter the special order for Monday afternoon. The Tampa charter bill was recommitted. The bill relative to the redemption of tax sale certificates and refunding money col lected on double assessment passed to its third reading. Senator Stevens introduced a bill prohib iting railroads from running freight trains on Sunday. Senator Gaskins introduced a bill forbid ding consolidation of parallel railroads. The joint session vote for Senator to-day was: liloxham 23 Perry 22 Pasco 14 Finley 4 Goodrich 12 Tho Senate confirmed Thomas Cooper as State’s attorney of the Sixth judicial circuit. THE CAUCUS BALLOTING. The joint Democratic cancus balloted for Senator to-night. The vote on the first bal lot was: Bloxham 33 Perry 28 Pasco ’. 10 The second ballot stood: Bloxham i 33 Perry 80 Pascoe 17 The third ballot stood: Bloxham 80 Perry 84 Pascoe lo The caucus adjourned to Friday night. DARK nORSES. The discussion of dark horses in the Sena torial race is going on quietly but very ear nestly. There are a good ninny very well informed men here who think that neither Bloxham, Perry nor Pasco can be elected, and they are canvassing the chances of other available men. Attention lias already been called in these dispatches to Judge McWhorter. Ho has a good many friends, but he does not seem to grow in strength. There are two men who are kept in the background, both of whom will bo brought to the front in the near future. One is Congressman David son and the other is John Henderson. The lutter is a lawyer and a man of marked ability and high character. He is a strong Bloxham man, and it would not Ik: at all surprising if Bloxliam’s strength would go to him when the time for the dark horses to enter the race comes. Mr. Hcndorson has a good many friends in the Legislature outside of those who are supporting Bloxham. Exactly how much strength Mr. Davidson has it is impossible to say, but from present indications it is not nearly so great as that of Mr. Henderson. It is probable that if a vote of the people could be had Bloxham would bo chosen, as he iR very popular, but the people are not doing the voting in this instance. As long as Perry stays in the race it is not probable that Bloxham will poll a larger vote than he has already polled, anil there is not much doubt that he will stay as long as Bloxham does. PENSACOLA POINTERS. A Montgomery Club on a Fishing Ex cursion—The Sunday Law. Pensacola, Fla., May 10.—The Browder Club, of Montgomery Ala., arrived here this morning. After a short stay in this city they left for Perdido bay on their annual Ashing excursion. The members of this club are of Montgomery’s best citizens. Their catches on past ventures have stamped them os expert fishermen. The cruzo for tho enforcement of the Sun day law has struck Pensacola. Last Sun day no place of business beyond a few fruit venders’ stands were allowed to sell any thing. Tile ladies are circulating a petition soliciting signers asking that private clubs, as well as public places, bo closed. Bloxham Indorsed. Hawthorne. Fla., May 10.—A meeting was held in Adkins' Hall Saturday which indorsed Bloxham for Senator. The follow ing resolution was adopted: That it is the sense of this meeting that the first consideration of our Representatives should lie the future welfare, stability and unity of the Democratic party, but consistently with that, they are hereby requested to use every honora ble means in i heir power first, last and all the time to secure the speedy election of William D. Bloxham to the position of United States Senator, since we lielieve him to Ik: the choice of the people of Florida and know him to be the choice of the people of Alachua county. A CLUE TO STOLEN BONDS. The May Coupons Sent on to Galves ton, But Payment Refused. Galveston, May 10.—Last November County Treasurer Durk left for parts un known, and an examination of his books showed a defalcation if several thousand dollars, As Treasurer he was custodian of $16,000 worth of county lx mils belonging to the school fund. These bonds were lion-ne gotiable, hut they could not be found. The County Commissioners duly advertised, but no clue was obtained until to-day, when the First National Bank received from New York for collection tho Slay coupons of the missing bonds, which were forwarded by Marcus 8. Trask. Payment on the coupons has been refused, and the officials liave opened correspondent*: with Mr. Trask with a view to recovering tho bonds. Catholic Knights of America. Chicago, May 10.—The Supreme Dele gates of the Catholic Knights of America are in session in this city.

Tho Supreme Delegates represent State societies, anu two from each State and Territory are in attendance at the present meeting. They meet ouo* in two years, the last biennial session having been held in New York city. Mr. Davis and tho Press. Meridian, Miss., May 10.—Hon.

T. Smith & Cos., tobacconists, made an assignment to day for the benefit of their creditors. They executed a deed in favor of Peters & Flood, who are their heaviest endorsers. barbed wire makers fail. Chicago, May 10, —Sherman, Marsh & Cos., barbed wire manufacturers, made an assignment to-day. The liabilities and assets are unknown. A second failure in the bnrbed wire business was subsequently announced. The firm is that of Scnnaebol & Cos. Their liabilities will reach $303,000; tho assets are about $175,000. In an interview with a Journal reporter Mr. Marsh, of tho firm of Sher man, Marsh & Cos., attributed his failure to the interstate commerce law. The two firms have been in existence about seven years, employing 130 men and were making money rapidly until after the passage of the interstate commerce law, when the railroads established rates which enabled competitors shipping by water to sell cheaper. Each firm was on the other's paper. The principal creditors are the Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Com pany, Commercial National Bank, American Wire Company, Merchants l/iim ami Trust Company, the" 11. P. Nail Company, lowa Barb Wire Company, New Haven Wire Company, John A. Roebling’s Sons’ Com pany and the Cambria Iron Company. pig iron importers suspend. Montreal, May 10.—Copeland & Mc- Laren, importers of pig iron, drain pipes, etc., have suspended payment. A meeting of tlicir creditors has been called for to morrow, when they will nsk for an exten sion of time. The flrm fix their liabilities, direct and indirect, at about $1135,000. FAILURE OF A CATTLE KING. Winnemucca, Nev., May 10.—W. B. Todhunter, a cattle owner of Sacramento, Cal., who owns 170,000 acres of land in Ore gon and 50,000 acres in this State, has as signed. His liabilities are said to lie $450,000. PENNSYLVANIA’S MINERS. The Wyoming and Lackawanna Men Not Apt to Shrike. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 10. —The Rec ord. has made an investigation of the strike outlook anil finds that there is no prospect of any trouble in the Wyoming and Lacka wanna coal fields, the agitation being lim ited to the Schuylkill and Carbon regions. Tho operators here have received no demand for an advance other than a general demand issued from the Schuylkill region. The cir cular claims to be on behalf of the Miners’ and Laborers’ Amalgamated Association and the Knights of I uibor of the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. The Record's re search shows that the circular does not rep sent the sentiment of the men outside of the Schuylkill region, and that the lalwr organizations referred to have not, as far as tho Wyoming and Lackawanna regions are concerned, united in the demand for an ad vance. The grievance in Schuylkill does not exist in the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions. In the last two places mentioned wages are from 10 to 20 |>cr cent, higher than in Schuylkill, and the only' tiling that would induce the men hero to strike would be sympathy with the Schuylkill men. It is not low wages, but a shortage of working time that is complained of in the Wyoming region. This is owing to an overstocked market, there being too many mines at work and too many men to work them. The sentiment here is to make the best of the situation. Hundreds of persons have bought little homes and they will not im jieril them or deprive their families of the necessaries of life by striking when there is no special grievance MEN ROASTED IN A FURNACE. An Arch of Red Hot Substance Buries Them in its Fall. Pittsburg, May 10.—A terrible accident occurred at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at Braddocks about 10 o’clock to night which will probably cost five lives. Furnace “E” was blown out a few days ago and to-day a gang of men were, put to work cleaning it out. An arch had formed/Com posed of coke, limestone and other materials, which were still at rod heat, and the men were working beneath this mass. To-night without warning the arch gave way. The red-hot matter was thrown in all directions, knock ing the men down and in some instances burying them. But few of the men in the vicinity escaped uninjured. In a short time the debris was removed and five men were taken out in a horrible condition. Their clothing was burned entirely' from their bodies and their flesh literally oooked. Physicians have no hope of their recovery. A TOBACCO FACTORY BURNED. Durham, N. C.. May 10. —The plug to bacco factory of Corbett, Patton & Cos., was destroyed by tiro last night. Nothing was saved. The loss Is $16,000. The insurance is alxiut $12,000. It is supposed the building was struck by lightning. B’NAI BRITH. An Endowment of $1,500 With S3O Annual Dues Proposed. Memphis, May 10.—'To-day’s session of District Grand Lodge No. 7, Independent Order B'nai Britli was devoted to the re ports of committees of minor importance. Toward the close of the session the endow ment committee reported unanimously in favor of $1,500 endowment, with annual duos of S3O. The report will lie thoroughly discussed to-morrow and promises to evoke vigorous opposition. The present annual dues are $24. Pending the retirement of tho committee on endowment Hon. B. F. Peixotto, of New York made a stirring address, urging united action in behalf of Jewish emmigrknts from foreign shores. Tho delegates were ban quet ted to-night at the Gayoso Hotel by the local lodges. Another motion referring to witnesses was negatived and the house then adjourned. DEBT DISAGREEMENTS. Council Royal Advises the Bond holders to Modify Their Demands. Richmond. Va., May 10.—There have been no new developments to-day with re gard to tho debt settlement. The report of the committee, which was telegraphed last night, was submitted to both houses of the General Assembly to-day, but no action was taken upon it.
