A DEAD WOMAN’S DRUNKEN HUSBAND.
John Nichols, the husband of the woman
■who died suddenly at the St James hotel
yesterday morning, was carried by the
police in an Inebriated condition
to the station house last night
and his money taken from
his pockets and kept in order that it
might not be wasted before his wife’s
funeral expenses could be paid. He suffered
his family to struggle in extreme poverty,
and there are ugly rumors afloat The
cause of his Wife’s death is yet a mystery.
It is by no means certain that she killed
herself. One theory is that she was poisoned
by someone else. Some thought that she
bad died from natural causes, but a post
mortem was held to-day and the
heart and lungs are said to
have presented a healthful appear
ance. The inquest nas been postponed till
Friday. There may be developments of a
sensational nature. Rev. D. H. Bryant of
Monticello, Fla., Mrs. Nichols’ father, tele
graphed that he could not reach here in
tune for her funeral.

—Adv.
Gave His Heart and $30,000.
Special to the Hew York World.
Ridgefield, Conn., April 16.—He set
tled $30,000 of "his hard-earned dollars on
her and the maiden murined a pleased and
blushing assent. Certainly there was
cause for Gould Rockwell to feel happy.
She is plump and pretty ar.d her nineteen
years are crowned with charms, such as to
make less fortunate men envy the success
ful suitor. Rockwell is S3 years old, but
time has not diminished his appreciation of
womanly excellence. His step is as elastic
as a school boy’s and his mind is just oA
clear as it was forty years ago, when he
amassed a fortune in the lumber business at
Troy, N. Y. He has lived here in retire
ment ever since.
Gould Rockwell has been known as a
close-fisted man, and his chief occupation
appeared to be in watching that his dollars
did not escape him. His wife died several
years ago. Ho had no children, and his
only possible beneficiary was thought to be
the Episcopal church, of which he was a
member. So when he began to show an
unmistakable fondness for the society of
young people the church frowned. It is re
lated that he proposed to several young
women, but without suocess. Frequent fail
ure did not daunt him, and he met with un
expected success iu his post-meridiau love
making about a month ago. The voung
lady was Miss marv Louise Denman, whose
former home was Navesink, N. Y. They
were married to-day,
The 12 o'clock train pulled out for New
York amid the cheers of a large crowd and
the sounding of torpedoes. It was a gala
day in Ridgefield. Everv one for miles
around joined in wishing the couple happi
ness. and it is said that the only persons
that view tho proceedings with displeasure
are the church people. They are unsparing
in their denunciation of the chit of a girl
that has deprived them of an expected
windfall.
One of Randall’s Notable Utterances.
From the Boston Transcript.
It was to Mr. Reed that Mr. Randall
made that famous remark, nearly two
years ago, that secured unity in the’Dem
ocratic party. One morning, at the most
critical stage of tde session, with the pres
idential convention almost at nand, and the
party apparently hopelessly divided, Mr.
Reed asked sarcastically, " VYhich wing of
the Democratic party will be in power to
day?” Mr. Randall, pale and ill, but deter
mined, was in his place, and, with his old
vigor, shouted, “Both wings of the party
will flap together soon enough for you.” A
roar went up from the floor and ’ the gal
leries.

A MURDERER'S STORY.
He Killed Twenty -one Persons and
Committed Many Bobberies.
From the Xeic York Sun.
Birmingham, Ala., April 19. —To-day
the written confession of the murderer Ben
Elsey, who was hanged yesterday, was
given to the public, and if it is all true, as
he swore it was, his career of crime was
probably never surpassed. Elsey was born
near Dalton, Ga.aad at the age of 14 killed
another boy over a game of cards. For
this crime he was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for twenty years, but was pardoned
after serving eight months. Soon
after his release from prison he
began a career of crime which
continued for ten years First he
bee ime a thief and gambler, and at the ago
of IB committed his second murder over a
game of cards. Soon after that he joined
an oath-bound organized band of robbers
and murderers, who had headquarters in
Chattanooga, Tenn., and operated in the
principal southern cities. A white man was
captain end leader of the baud.
They robbed stores and residences and
committed highway robbery whenever
opportunity offered. The leader of the
gang had an invention for blowing open
safes, which is described by Elsey as fol
lows:
“His usual way of using it is to put in a boot
about the size of a cigar box, light it, then
wrap it up so as to look like a bundle. It
burns very slowly and emits no smoke, and
usually takes from four to six hours to ex
plode, making a very slight noise. About
dark he carries it to a merchant and asks
him to lay it in his safe till morning, when
he will call and get it. Some time after
midnight he goes back and unloc s the door
—we always have keys that will fit any
lock—and takes the money out of the safe.
He would never let me know how he made
the machine. He also had a way of blowing
them open when he found them locked. ’’
At Fulton, Ga., in 1885, Eisey and other
members of the gang murdered a merchant
and robbed and burned his store. In 18S6
they robbed and murdered three white mea
in Chattanooga aud threw their bodies into
the Tennessee river. The same year they
murdered and robbed two men at Rome,
Ga., and committed fourhigaway robberies
in Knoxville, Tenn., securing several thou
sand dollars. At Pinson, Ga., in the latter
part of 1886 Elsey and three others mur
dered and robbed his grandmother, R >sa
McCorner, a negro woman 70 years old.
Elsey had lived with her e. while and knew
she had 5340. He planned the murder to
secure this money.
In 1887 Elsey assisted in the murder of a
white man and woman in Mobile. Ala. In
1888 Elsey murdered Mrs.- Hargrove in
Cos ob county, Georgia, by splitting h >r h sad
open with an ax. Air.-. Hargrove had 8800
in a trunk, which he secured, and the i
he came to Alabama. His two murders
here were the killing of an unknown ped
dler and the Meadows murder, for which ho
was hanged. Elsey’s confession concludes
as follows:
“I will have to bring this to a close, as I
cannot spare any more time on it. While 1
have mentioned only a few of the many
crimes l have committed, I have mentioned
the most important oats. I have been a
gambler and a thief ever since I was a small
boy, and I have been a murderer aud
a robber over since I was 14 years
old. I can remember all the crimes
I have committed. I followed my
crowd most of the time for five
years. I have been implicated in the killiug
of twenty-one people, eighteen men and
three women. Nineteen were white and
two colored. I have no idea of what I have
stolen, nor of how many burglaries I have
beeu implicated in, nor of how many safes
1 have helped to blow open, nor of how
many people I have helped to rob. I have
a wife and children at Atlanta. I was mar
ried to another woman here two months be
fore I was arrested.”
A PADRONE’S PROFITS.
A Railroad Contractor Who Has Fur
nished 50,000 Italian Laborers.
New York, April 19.—Joseph Gallo, an
Italian broker and railroad contractor,
gave to the subcommittee of the congres
sional committee on immigration, at is ses
sion yesterday, some information that may
interrupt his business prosperity when the
subcommittee frames an immigration law
for congress to act on. Gallo said he haij
about 300 Italians, seventy-five Huns and
a smaller number of colored men working
for him. The Italians lived on from $5 to
to a month, the colored men lived higher,
usually paying from sls to S2O a month.
Mr. Gallo said he had sent down south
within the past ten years about 50,000
Italians, who wore put to work on rail
roads.
He made no profit out of furnishing these
men. He did it merely to advertise his
business as a broker. There was plenty of
work for all. He handled about $1,000,000
a year ia his brokerage business. Tom
McGuire, master workman of District As
sembly 49, said that Gallo was nothing more
nor less than a padrone. The men whom he
sent away had to pay him and others of his
class $5 for the privilege of getting work on
the railroads. At the end of a few weeks,
or a month perhaps, the padrone had the
laborer discharged, and the laborer would
go to tbe padroue again and pay $5 more
for another job. The witness knew of men
who were lauded at Castle Garden one day,
and were found working on the West Shore
tracks tbe next day.
While Galio was testifying Mr. McGuire
said he had sent a messenger to Gallo s
place and the messenger was told tnat Gallo
would furnish laborers to anybody who
wanted them at $1 25 to $1 45 a day. He
denied Gallo’s statement that there was
work for everybody. An American citizen
with family could not live on tho same
money that an Italian without a family
subsisted on. Tho steamship companies
were to blame for much of the stimulated
immigration. Mr. McGuire said the immi
gration commissioners had persistently pre
vented the representatives of 1 ibor from
tryiug to find out anything about contract
laborers whom the labor organization knew
were about to be lauded at Castle Garden.
When the contract labor law was made
President Cleveland was asked to appoint
labor men as inspectors. He did nothing in
the matter. Contract laborers had i pen
landed ever since the law had gone into
effect.
An Enviable Community.
From the Topeka Western School Journal.
At a certain convention held recently we
heard an educational chief from Boston
say: “This is the boss of all the evil.” And
how about the imperial city of New York?
Well, the children in her schools nronounoe
“murmur,” “muyrauy;” “bird,” “ooid;”
“murder,” “muydar;" "park,” “pawk;”
and at the convention aforesaid several
New York gentlemen repeatedly invited
attention to the glories of “the imperial'
state of New York.”
In the Quaker City, too, there are pecul
iarities of pronunciation, really charming
peculiarties, depending somewhat, of
course, upon the complexion, general ap
pearance and vivacity of the speaker, but,
nevertheless, the pronunciation is not ac
cording to Webster nor Worcester. “No,’
is “no-v;” "go,” ,"gow;” “road,” “roui ”
“boat,” “bout;” “day,” “dahee;” “rain,”
“rafaeen," etc.
Getting down to Washington, one would
expect to find correct pronunciation flour
ishing luxuriantly, but the influence of the
south is plainly discernible in the speech of
the natives. “Two doiiahs,” “Conah of H.
and Foteeath streets,” “Majah Bairs Sock,”
“Yes, sah”—these and similar expressions
can bo heard at every corner.
Upon the whole, the people of the upper
Mississippi valley speak the best English.
But here, too, there are conspicuous de
fects. Such words as calf, half' and laugh
are pronounced with an exasperating flat
ness on the sound of a.

A WALKING LIQUOR SALOON.
How an Ingenious Marylander Evaded
License Laws.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Baltimore, April 30.—Page Rea and
Alexander Vane are prisoners charged with
selling liquor without a license. They were
traveling vendees until Deputy Marshal
Cole slipped the handcuffs on them on
Friday, at Cambridge, Md. Vane
traveled by himself, and was probably the
most original traveling saloon in the
cjuntry.
Years ago both of his arms were cut off
near the shoulder in a railroad accident,
and he cannot use the stumps or artificial
members. He wanted to earn a living and
began m this wav: A country tailor made
a heavy sack coat for him, with three very
large pockets, one on each side and one in
the back. Each pocket wa3 divided by
canvas partitions into four compartments,
holding four pint bottle;, whiei his partner
filled every morning. Two sets of bottles
contained rye and another set Bourbon
whisky, so that Vane started out eacn day
with just six quanta of liquor.
He traveled around among the farmers
and wherever men were at work he was
sure to be found sometime during the day.
The man who wanted a drink would take
one of the bottles from his pockets, unscrew
the flask, let the exodlarating fluid trickle
down bis throat, replace the bottle and drop
a nickel or a dime into a smaller pocket in
Vane’s coat. In this way. Vane says, he
often cleared from *3 1i $8.50 per dav.
At length the attention of the United
States authorities was called to the mu'ter.
and his arrest followed. He has engaged
counsel, and his plea will be not guiky, as
he did not actually sell tb9 liquor. Tho at
torney says Vane is no more liable than a
nickel-in-the-slot machine.
A Dying Mans Vision.
From the Hartford Times.
An impressive incident occurred years
ago in Hartford. The man who related it
was so profoundly impressed with the re
ality of a supra-mortai mooting and recog
nition that he never forgot it. He is still
living in a western state. On this occasion
he was a watcher at the bedside of a dying
man—a printer. He is a very "practical,"
hard-headed man, and one of the last to be
given to fancies. For half an hour, he said,
the dying man had been sinking. The
breathing, growing more labored, became
slower and fainter. The watcher thought
the man was dead, when suddenly his eyes
opened with a glad look of wonder and
joyful recognition. He threw up his arms
as in an embrace, and his whole face was
illuminated as he rapturously exclaimed;
"Why, neither!" The same instant he fell
dead. "Nothing will ever convince me,”
said the watcher, relating the occurrence
years afterward, “that that mau didn’t
actually see his mother then and there.”
GEORGIA THRIFT.
The Sparta Brick and Manufacturing
Company has begun work.
Work was actively begun Tuesday morn
ing upon tbe buildings for the Atnericus
iron works and machino shops. The value
of the plant, completed, will be $50,000.
Work will be commenced at once upon
ton Swiss cottages in Vineville, a suburb of
Macon, for the use of. operatives of the
Manchester mill. When these are finished
a number of others will be built for the
same purpose.
An effort is on foot to erect a large plan
ing mill at Athens. Manager Voss of the
street railroad line, formerly of Macon, is
one of the prime movers. The idea is to
use South Georgia pine only. It is thought
such a mill would pv handsomely.
A northern capitalist is in Athens for the
purpose of establishing a paper bag fac
tory. His idea is to form a company with
$12,000 capital. One-third of tue amount
he will take. A manufactory of this kind
will easilv pay 15 per cent, annually.
A good crowd of spectators met at the
shops of the Avcock Manufacturing Com
pany at Griffin Tuesday to witness tbe test
of anew patent "bli’ud stile” boring ma
chine. With two hands, one to place the
frame and to bear it off after being bored,
in.sixteeu minutes’ time the machine had
bored aud marked the ends and middles of
nineteen pairs of blinds.
B. F. Nysewauder has just sold bis borne
place in Leeton, the old Bartow homestead,
to Mr. Karl of Birmingham, Ala. The sale
embraced a frontage of 125 feet on L e
street, including the residence, running
back the full depth of the place, and em
bracing several acres of farming land in the
rear. Mr. Nysewander bought this prop
erty some three or four years ago, paying
$3,500 therefor. Since that time he has
sold off over SIO,OOO worth of building lots,
and still has a beautiful lot left on which he
will build a pretty residence.
R. K. Reaves of Athens claims to have
picked up 250 pennyweights of gold Satur
day on his gold mine property in White
county. Mr. Reaves has recently found
that one enormous vein of gold runs
through Iris lauds on the Cleveland and
Dahionega road and is now having a shaft
sunk to make further inspection. He has
run a trench along beride tho vein and the
result is a most satisfactory one. Tne pure
gold ore, rich in its bright yellow hue, and
heavily fraught wi h its rich mineral, is ex
posed in all its dazzling brilliancy. Mr.
Reaves will at ones go to work to operate
his mme on a larger sc de than ever before.
He is now satisfied beyond the remotest
shadow of a doubt that there are bounteous
supplies of gold in tbe vein that traverses
his lands aud expert miners share in his
belief.
