2 TWO CRANKS I'SK PENS. GOV. GORDON INFLICTED WITH THEIR EPISTLES. Prominent Men Lend Tlieir Names to the Movement to Secure a Bank Rob ber’s Pardon—A Suitor Fired on by a Negro Returns the Compliment— The Carp Car. Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 17.—The Governor’s mail to-day brought two crank letters. One professing to be written from the holy land and signed “one of the apostles’’ that thanked him in the name of the Republican party of Ohio, for bis recent visit to that State, and expressed a belief that a longer’ visit would have made Foraker’s majority 60,000. The second letter was from R. W. Flournoy, of Pontotoc, Miss. It indignantly condemns the conviction of Charles Shockley, the ne gro boy who killed Thomas in Augusta, and his sentence to life imprisonment. Flour noy was evidently short on the facts of the case. A BANK ROBBER WELL BACKED. The Governor is being strongly urged to pardon C. H. Simmons, the Augusta bank robber, who is serving a seven years’ sen tence in the Dade coal mines. Simmons is a New Yorker - , and a sister who brought him up is here pleading with the Governor. The application is strongly indorsed by Suuset Cox and other New York Congress men, and by Senator Brown, who made a personal appeal to the Governor to-day. It is likely that the pardon will be granted. Simmons has served four years of the sen tence. It is urged that he was .young when the crime was committed and was used tty older meu. A similar application was made some months ago, but was refused, mainly, it is understood, on account of circum stances connected with the application. A VERDICT AGAINST A RAILROAD. In the United States Circuit Court to-day, the jury in the case of Fitten vs. the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, reported in the News yesterday, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for $1,500. A mo tion for anew trial will lie made. Prof. A. R. McCutchan, Geologist of the Agricultural Department, and brother of Judge McCutclmn, has been very ill for two months, and to-night it is thought be can not recover. His death would be a great loss to the State, as he is the tied informed of any nan living on the geological formations of Georgia. The tax receipts at the Treasury Depart ment to-da v were $ll,OOO. The carp car of the United States Fish Commission went up tlie State road to-dav to deposit flsb in the Chattahoochee and Etawab rivers. It will return to-morrow anil start south. W. O. Conner, Principal of the Deaf and Dumb Aiyium, was here to-day conferring with the Governor as to the proper con struction of the recent legislative appro priation of $O,OOO for the building’s im provement and how to draw the money from the Treasury. Heexhibited plans and specifications of improvements which, if carried out, will make the place very at tractive. A SHOOTING SCRAPE. A shooting sensation occured on Jenkins street to-day which was a little out of the ordinary rut. Frank Donehue, a white man 19 years old. has been paying attention to a Miss Alexander. He called to-day and on entering a young negro man servant in the house" made an impudent remark about his visits which lead to a quarrel. The negro ran through the house to the back gtrch, when he returned and tired at onehue’s head, missing him. Donehue bad a derringer and returned the fire. The negro fired again and.lied. The firing at tracted the policeman ou the lieat who arrested Donehue and carried him to the station. When ho was searched the pistol was found, and also a marriage license. The negro was soon brought in and his story was that Donelme was trying to force the girl to marry him, and that to-day when ho came her mother ordered him to put Donelme out of the house. Both were locked up. THE PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN. Both Prohibitionists and Amis gathe ed in mass meeting to-night and had a Dig talk. The Antis met at the Opera House, where the inside and outside hurrah was repeated. The leading speakers were Evan P. Howell and A. H. Cox. The Prohibitionists met at a warehouse and completely filled that spacious tabernacle. A large part of the immense audience was lad.os. whose aid and Influence the Prohibitionists have invoked in this contest. The orators were George Adair and Henry Grady. The crowd was estimated at between 5,000 and 7,000. Both meetings adjourned about tiie same time and the crowds met, but without a clash, as there is yet peace between the factions. In the Supreme Court the day was occu pied with the arguments in the Veal case. One speech will be made to-morrow, when the case goes to the ury. A verdict vill doubtless bo reached to-morrow, and the general opinion is that it will be one of acquittal. SUiCIDE OF A BRIDE. A Letter to Her Husband Which May Explain the Motive. Macon, Ga., Nov. 17. —Mrs. C. H. Tay lor, the yourg woman who took morphine with suicidal intent Tuesday night, died this morning at 4 o’clock. The story is peculiar ly sad. On Oct. 28 she was married to C. H. Taylor, a well-known horseman. The match was opposed by the parents of the bride, and it was solemnized without their knowledge or consent. Mrs. Taylor was only 1 • years old, possessing au elegant fi.’urc ami handsome face. Her manners were pleasant and attractive. Their union was generally conceived to be the result of mutual infatuation. Since their marriage they have been living with Mr. Jones, on " Plum street, between Third and Fourth streets, and to ay appearances were happy in each other’s love. Tuesday night after supjier Mr. Taylor left his wife at Tier father’s, saying he would return in a few hours. Shortly past 10 o’clock Mrs. Tayior took a large dose of morphine. About 11 o’clock Taylor returned home. When he arose yesterday morning and went out on the streets she was still sleeping. He le turned later, ate breakfast and again left the house, when ho was sent for by Mrs. Jones to come and arouse his wife. SHE TOOK MORPHINE. This be did and Mrs. Taylor told her hus band that she had taken morphine. Dr. Gibson was sent for and administered to her, and she would have recovered but she managed in some way to take another do-e, which threw her into deep stupor. Strenu ous efforts were made to keep her awake and her husband walked her about lor hours. Her condition grew worse. Mrs Jones sent for Dr. J. C. Johnson, the regular family physician, uud lie in turn sent for Dr. Mcliatton to come and assist in apply ing the battery and thus assist m keeping up respiration. All that, mortal aid could do was done but to no purpose. No cause is unsigned for the rash deed. She left Ibo following letter for her husband: Dear Hcbber: T will say a few words to you as lam going. Darling, I love you. and 1 know you love me, but you are not doing ue right it oil. and you know It Bat that’s all right, darling. I love yon well enough to die for vou, and I have some little request - to make he lore 1 go. That is please quit your wild habits, and another is to never go around any other young lady, and for my sake and God's sake, in ver, never marry any more. Darling, i think that I am going to rest. Try and meet me in heaven is all I ask. Bye-bye. Ella. Judgments Against Houston.

SOUTH CAROLINA CKIMaS. Two Boys Beat a Woman to Death- Negro Thieves Lash Each Other. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 17. —Beckie Filton, a white woman, who has been leading a migratory life for several years, was killed yesterday by two negro boys in Georgetown county, South Carolina. They beat her to death with sticks. The youthful murderers are now in jail. Thomas H. Riles, a prominent farmer of Darlington county, South Carolina, who was shot iu the neck on Oct. 11 by March MeCuteheon, a negro laborer, during a dis pute about wages, died last night from the effect of his wound. MeCuteheon fled and is still at large. Last, night, while the clerks in W. J. Johnson’s store at Lancaster, S. C., were waiting upon a crowd of customers Dick Beck, the colored porter, slipped into the office and stole from the desk a tin box con taining $025. He handed it out of the back door to William Wallace, his brother-in law. who carried it off and concealed it. Dick, being suspected, was arrested. At first he denied the charge, but finally con fessed. Wcllaco was hunted up and made to surrender tho box, the contents of which were found to be intact. The two thieves were given the choice of being prosecuted or giving each other fifty lashes ou the bare back. They chose the latter alternative. A short cowhide whip was procured and the culprits were taken into the back of the store and com pelled to strip to tho waist, whilst the clerks stood by and saw that the punishment was administered strictly in accordance with the agreement. The sight was a novel one and almost every stroke of the lash drew the blood from the backs of the thieves, whose howls and cries for morcy could be heard for squares away. The third trial of Josh and Lige Briggs (colored) for the murder of.Constable James S. Blackwell, took place in Edgefield, to day, and resulted in acquittal. It is relia bly reported by train to-night, that masked men are missing at Edgefield U. H., for the purpose of lynching the released negroes.

A Man Dies n New York from Hydro phobia-Physicians Hor ror-3tr icken. New York, Nov. 15. —Charles Cavanan, aged 27 years, a porter, residing at No. 270 Greenwich street, died in the Chambers Street Hospital at 6:30 o’clock this morning, a victim of genuine hydrophobia. At. 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon he was admitted to be treated as the first case of genuine hydrophobia ever brought to the hospital. On Oct. S, last, Cavanan saw two dogs fighting in front of his home. While be was trying to separate them one o! the does seized him by the little finger of his right hand. Cavanan thought nothing of the bite, but several days later noticed that it <liit not. appear to be healing very rapidly. The first intimation he had of anything life hydrophobia was ou last Saturday, when he began to feel ill, and was seized with slight convulsions. Monday afieihio tt at 1 o’clock he was taken to the hospital for treatment. At 2 o’clock he begun to have spasms and convulsions of the muscles of tue throat, which rapidly became more fre quent and severe. About every twenty minutes Cavanan would be seized with vio lent spasms, with increasing expectoration and contraction of the muscles of the throat. Any attempt to give him water or ad minister an} - medicine immediately brought ou violent convulsions. After 5 o'clock the convulsions became almost incessant, and he became so violent that it was found necessary to remove him to a private room and place him in a straight jacket. Two man wore required to hold him in bed. At 10 o’clock the patient began to have hallu cinations and imagined that a pack of dogs were after himself and those around him. Morphine was freely administered. This in a measure deadened the pain in his throat. At intervals he was perfectly rational and at such times would converse Witli his attendants. But these spells were of very short duration. To 1 he attendant doctor he said during one of his sane inter vals : ‘T hold on well, don’t I? But I suppose I must die. It shows that 1 am pretty strong though, don’t it;" At 3:30 o’clock this morning Cavanan be gan to grow black in the face and his breath ing became very difficult. From that time until he died he suffered greatly, at tunes being hardly able to breathe, but conscious and rational. The most distressing sight was to see the m.in when in convulsions, ii.s facial contortions were awful. He had but one eye, but that one would stare and roll in a most horrible manner while the un fortunate sufferer twisted and turned in the most terrible agonv. At about 6 o’clock, under the influence of heavy and frequent injections of morphine, he becatne a little eftsier and died aqtui ent ly without puin and much easier than was expected. Dr. Wedekind, who attended Cavanan, said it was an undoubted case of hydro phobia. “In all my hospital experience," sad tie, “and I have had considerable, never have 1 seen such a horrible sight as that man when he was in convulsions. ’ It is said that several persons besides Cav anan were bitten by tno dog whose bite caused his death, but as yet no cases of hydrophobia have hewn reported. The dog was shot by a policeman shortly after he bit Cavanan. A man at Medicine Hat. N. tV.

She Secretly Weds Clmr'es Carroll of Ma yland. From the Washington Post. Jilt,tie did the Clerk of the Court dream yesterday morning that be would set the world of Washington society fairly wild for a week at least, when he filled up, in his usual, business-like wav a license authoriz ing Mr. Charles Carroll, of Howard county, Maryland, to wed Miss Suzanne Bancroft, so well known in society here and at New port, the cultured and charming grand daughter of the venerable historian George Bancroft. Miss Bancroft some months ago was publicly announced to be engaged to a prominent gentleman connected with one of tbe foreign legations, and not the faintest whisper of a disagreement between the high contracting parties had thus far been heard of. The lady was supposed to be busily engaged itpor. the task of having her elaborate trousseau prepared forjthe forthcoming wed ding, and tho gossips hail already set tbe day for the celebration of the happy event. The young people met each other at New port, and a strong attachment sprang up between them, with all the charm that en forced secrecy could add, until yesterday’s quiet wedding brought the pretty love affair to a happy culmination. About 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon Miss Bancroft left her grandfather’s residence, No. 1623 H street, with Mr. Carroll, as if going out fora walk. The couple went to the parsonage of St. Matthew’s church and stated their errand to Rev. Father Cliappelle, who informer! them that he could not marry them without a dispensation from Cardinal Gibbons authorizing him to perform the ceremony without the customary publica tion of the bans, as required by the Roman Catholic Church. Nothing daunted, the lovers boarded the next train for Baltimore and called at the Cardinal’s residence, where they had no difficulty in obtaining the coveted document, and were soon on their way back to Washington, and were finally married at 5:80 in the even ing. After the ceretnonv Miss Bancroft re turned to her home on H street, while the happy groom returned to his hotel, just a block from the church. The engagement ring upon the young lady’s hand, of course, had given way to the one which the groom placed upon her finger as he spoke the mo mentous words, ‘‘With this ring I thee wed.” Mr. Bancroft learned of the mar riage in the course of the evening. Ever since her return from Fiance, where she was educated, Mrs. Carroll, nee Ban croft, has been one of the most admired and most prominent ladies of culture and fashion which have graced the liest circles of Washington, or the whole country, for that matter. Her linguisticaccomplishments, her rare tact and graceful demeanor, her prompt and spirited co-operation in every enterprise for social or benevolent purposes have gained her the respect and hearts of nil who were o fortunate as to be brought into contact with her or her work. She will take the best wishes of a large circle of friends and admirers with her uponthoroad to marital life. It is not yet known whether the young couple will leave the city to-day upon the news of their marriage becoming known, nor whether they will make Wash ington their future homo. A reporter called at the Bancroft resi dence late yesterday evening, and sent his card to Mrs. Carroll. The servant soon returned and asked him what his errand was, and when it was stated, tbe servant replied: “She says that what you have heard is true. She went out with Mr. Car roll to-day, and they were married. Her grandfather knew it’ afterward, and he is just as happy as I am,” he added, ns his good-natured German face broke into a broad grin, “and Mr. Carroll has been in vited to dinner here to-morrow.” Mr. Carroll, the groom, was afterward seen at Wormley’s, and when the reporter told him what he had learned about the wedding ho stated that the facts were cor rect. He is a handsome young gentleman connected by close ties of consanguinity to the first families of Maryland and Virginia, among whose ancestry are tbe Lees and the Custises, the Calverts and Carrolls, the Stuarts and Lord Cecil Baltimore. It was learned on good authority that the prior engagement of Miss Bancroft has been off for some time. Chasing Meteors. From the Winsted (Conn. ) Herald. We ca'ttion our readers to put no reliance in stories about meteors which come very near those tvho were startled by them. We were fooled once, about thirty years ago, by one of these brilliant wanderers in space. It passed right over the Litchfield fair grounds, appar ently, and struck the earth over on Chestnut Hill We were so fully convinced that it buried itself in Litchfield soil that we cogitated upon the advisability of going over to unearth the thing. “Pshaw, Joe.” said the good old father when we reported tbe matter on our arrival home, "it was more likely hundreds of miles away.” “It can't be, father,” we replied; “11. B. Graves saw it anti saitl he should think it passed over Joint H. Hubbard's house, or at feast not farther down than the fair grounds. Why, father, we heard it!’’ The next day’s New York papers weakened our faith in our ability to calculate ou meteoric distance. The same brilliaut sphere was re ported by telegraph as having been seen by people in Kentucky, and a few days later a westward Itound transatlantic steamer reported having seen it 1,500 miles out at sea.

The Winter That’s Coming. There is an affinity between “coal” and “cold” that is cemented by the friendly aid of a warm overcoat, and as prudent persons seldom neglect the “coal-bin” till the rigors of frost are upon them, so does the wise man provide the inevitable overcoat in time. We have given some study to the overcoat question this season, and the result will, we think, be creditable to our taste and that of the purchaser.
