CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A GAMBLER KILLED IN A HOTEL
BY A COMPANION.
The Slayer Escapee Everything in
Readiness for the Convention of the
Drummers - The Street Railroads
Now Controlled by New Yorkers.
The Conley and Tolleson Cases
Atlama* Ga„ May 3.-A mysterious
murder was committed this afternoon at
Folsom's hotel, within a stone's throw of
the artesiau well, between 12 and 1 o clock.
A man who registered as ‘ *J. W. Howard,
Bt Louis” when he arrived here two days
ago, entered the hotel with a stranger who
registered as M. J. Goldman, Memphis.
The two went upstairs to a room, and a
moment after two pistol shots were heard.
Goldman then rushed down stairs, revolver
in hand, gained the street and ran
awav before anybody comprehended
what had occurred. A policeman
saw him running, but thought
he was after a street ear. In the room up
stairs Howard was found fatally wenaded,
one shot having entered his shoulder, and
another the left side of his abdomen. A
chambermaid who claims that she witnessed
the shooting says she entered the room to
vaaxe up the bed, but was told to leave it
alone. She turned away, leaving Howard at
the window aDd the other man by the bed,
where he seemed to be employed with a
sachet
THE SHOOTING.
She bad not gone far when the first shot
was fired. Howard gave no indication of
having been hit, and his assailant fired
again. Howard then cried out that he was
shot and clapped his bands to his abdomen.
The chambermaid ran away terribly
frightened. Both men were unknown here,
though they are said to have stopped at the
same hotel and occupied the same room
together two weeks ago. When
they entered the place to-day
they seemed friendly and calm up
to the momect of the shooting. Howard
lingered till 9 o’clock to-night, when he died
without making a statement. He said his
name was Edmund 8. Skinner instead of
Howard, but declined, although he knew he
was dying, to teil anything about his slayer
or to shed the least light on the trouble
between them.
HIS LAST REQUEST.
He asked that his brother-in-law, S. O.
Doan of Sherman, Tex., be telegraphed
and a preacher called. Two ministers came
and offered prayer at his bedsida At 9
o'clock Doan had not been heard from and
Goldman, if such be his name, is presumed
to have gotten safely away. An examina
tion of the dead man’s effects was promptly
made, but except for a private note-book,
which seemed to contain| jamblers’ accounts,
the investigation developed nothing. Gold
man is also supposed to have been a
gambler.
CONVENTION OF THE DRUMMERS.
An enthusiastic mass meeting was held
last night at the chamber of commerce by
the Southern Travelers’ Association to com
plete arrangements for the coming week.
Ordinary business was suspended to hear
the reports of the special committees. Mr.
Brouder, chairman of the finance commit
tee, reported liberal contributions from the
merchants. Ail the other committees re
ported everything in readiness for the con
vention. Telegrams were then read by
President Atwater from several invited
guests. One stated that John Temple
Graves would be here, and one from J. C.
C. Black announced his inability to come to
Atlanta, owing to other engagements. A
request was issued by President Atwater
requesting all the wholesale merchants to
allow their drummers to remain in Atlanta
during the coming week. The recep
tion committee was notified to meet
to-morrow afternoon to receive the Macon,
Augusta and Columbus branches, which
will be the first to arrive. The delegates
from the Atlanta branch will not be chosen
until to-morrow night owing to tbe inability
of the secretary to submit a complete list of
tbe members. The traveling men will meet
to-morrow night and march in a body to
the First Baptist church and attend the
services.
THE TOLLESON CASE.
Judge Clarke this morning postponed the
Tolleson matter till next Saturday, when
he will conform Jhis judgment to that of
supreme court. The judge said he could
not deal with the case to-day os no oopy of
the decision of the higher courts had been
filed with the superior court clerk.

Meyerhardt Married.
Rome, Ga., May 3. —For some time ne
gotiations have been peuding between the
Rome Land Company and foreign capital
ists. The capitalists paid to-day SIOO,OOO in
part payment. The deeds have passed, and
a company has been organized under the
name of the New Rome Land Company.
Two thousand acres of suburban property
were purchased. The building of anew
city called New Rome has already been
begun. Four million dollars will be in
vested by the new company. Three iron
furnaces are to be buiit at "once, a man
ganese furnace, another car wheel works,
and many smaller industries.
Hon. Roswell P. Flower, Charles Lyerly
and Edward Watkins are at the head of the
enterprise. This deal will turn loose hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and every
body is jubilant.
A NEW RAILROAD.
Anew railroad for Floyd county, called
the Tallapoosa, Chattanooga and Illinois, is
on the tapis, and engineers are now making
a survey. The road passes within a few
miles of Rome and crosses the Rome and
Decatur and the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus roads twelve miles west of Rome.

Darien, Ga.. May 3.—J. T. McKeitber,
a naval stares manufacturer of this county,
came into Dar;ea this morning and got
money to pay off his hands, returning to
his still about 11 o’clock, accompanied by his
son, aged 12 years. On reaching the edge
of ths swamp he was fired upon by some
one in ambush and his son was shot through
the head and is now lying in a dangerous

BROOK3 COUNTY'S BUDGET.
Bain Needed—The Coming Court-The
Alliance and Politics.
Quitman, Ga., May 3.—A good, soaking
rain just now woul i be worth thousands of
dollars to Brooks c unty. It has 1 een two
months since rain of any consequence fell,
and the drought is getting to be distressing.
The oat crop is badly damaged, and it is
doubtful if even a ha f crop will be made.
C tton is doing i.otbmg. That which is up
is at a starid-st.il. A i umoer of farmers
have not yet planted, and as many m< re
have seed in the ground that will not come
up. All this is due to the dry weat ,er.
ihe outiook for meloi.s at present is prom
ising, as dry weather suits them. Tre
ac enge in Brooks is estimated lo t e about
the same as last year—l,2oo or 1,800 acres.
Tho-e who are posted thiuk shipments will
commence at least a week earlier than las:
year.
The pear crop will be almost a complete
failure. The late cold snap and the dry
weather together have got the best of the
Le Contes. Some young trees have fair
crops, but as a rule the older trees are doing
nothing.
SUPERIOR COURT.
Brooks superior court convenes next
week. There are a number of civil cases of
considerable importance which will come
up for trial. Among them is a contest over
tbe will of the late John B. Spell, in which
some SIO,OOO or $12,1.00 is involved.
Will VYatson, a negro boy, who had his
foot cut off by a Savannah, Florida and
Western freight train some time ago, will
sue the road for $.5,000.
Solicitor General Rountree says he will
bring the noted Arrington-Lane case to
trial again at this term of court, but this is
thought to be doubtful.
THE ALLIANCE.
The stand which tbe Brooks County Al
liance has taken in politics bids fair to be
productive of much good. Brooks has in
the past been one of the worst disrupted
counties, politically, in the state. This
state of affairs has been due to the fact that
there have been no nominations and the
races have, consequently, been free for all
scrambles, in w hich" money, whisky,
and the colored voter were the
prime disturbing factors. The alli
ance, in passing resolutions favoring
nominations of democrats by democrats
and pledging themselves to support the
nominees, has done much towards bringing
about a purification of county politics.
The directors of the alliance bank move
ment will meet ii Quitmn cn Wednesday,
May 7, when definite action looking to tbe
early inauguration of the bank will proba
bly be taken.
A CONFESSION OF MURDER
The Killing of a Palatka Boy Proves
to Have Been Not an Accident.
Palatka, Fla., May a—Tbe killing of
Samuel, son of William L. Orange; at Man
ville last September is still fresh in the
minds of the people. The one who killed
him was Allen Broadus, a colored youth,
who gave himself up, saying that it was
accidental. All that was known of the
killing at that time was that Sam, in com
pany with young Livingston, went out to
look for a hog belonging to a negro named
Broadus, who had sent his son to look for
the hog in the same field. The colored boy
callod several times, but the young men did
not hear him. They were sitting in a pea
patch, and the negro.seeing s imethmg dark,
which be mistook for the hog, fired a load
of buckshot into the back of Samuel
Orange.
DOCTORS UNABLE TO SAVE HIM.
Drs. Whipp and Straus were sent for and
succeeded in extracting some of the shot,
but had little hope of bis recovery. He
lived until tbe following Thursday’morn
ing. After the death of young Orange the
Broadus family moved to St, Augustine
and have since resided there. Last Wednes
day a colored boy confessed to a party in
St. Augustine, stating that he had killed
Orange by shooting him in tbe back, and
fearmg the “crackers” would “fix” him left
the plaoe. The circumstances about the
killing, Broadus said, were that he and
Orange had gone out to hunt a wild hog,and,
as he had a grudge against him, thought
that was the best time to take it out.
MADE SURE AND THEN SHOT.
The murderer continued by saying: "I
saw Sam Orange pull oft his hat two or
three times to brush away mosquitoes, and
stood some time watching him so that I
might be sure that he was tSe one I wanted,
and when convinced I pulled down on him.
My gun load took effect in his back. Or
ange fell and I started to ruu, but thinking
it best to stand by him went back and as
sisted Orange to his home, where I told the
people that I mistook him for a hog and
they believed me. This is just as it was,
and now lam going to get out of this
country and go to New York.”
But his plans were checked by Sheriff
Perry of St. John's county, w ho, hearing of
the confession, lodged Broadus in jail.
James H. Shelley, sheriff of Putnam
county, was notified of the arrest and
brought the murderer to Palatka, and he is
now in the county jail.
AN INNOCENT MAN JAILED.
A Printer Arrested at Albany for a
Robbery at Monticello.
Albany, Ga., May 3.—John D. Shaw, a
printer raised in Cuthbert. but late of Mon
ticello, Fla., was arrested here last night on
suspicion of being accessory to an express
robbery in Monticello a few days ago. Mr.
Shaw worked for Mr. Denham, publisher of
a Monticello paper, and his employer’s
brother was the express agent at that point.
The agent was fleeced of sll7. About this
time Shaw decided to return to Georgia on
a visit to his relative, John R. Shaw, cf
Americus. He arrived in this city Wednes
day evening and worked on the paper here
until last night, when he intended to take
the 1 o’clock train for Americus.
The REQUEST FOR AN ARREST.
The police had received a dispatch from
Monticello to arrest a person of certain feat
ures. Mr. Shaw was arrested and spent
the night and morning in jail. In reply to
a dispatch sent to Monticello authorities
this morning it was learned that Mr. Shaw
was the wrong man and that they had the
one wanted. Mr. Shaw says that if there
is any law for damages for such treatment
he will use it to its fullest extent.
A NEGRO SHOT DEAD.
The Bullet Fired by Another Negro,
But the Causa Unknown.
Americus, Ga., May S.— James Dixon, a
negro porter in the store of Brown &
French, was shot and almost instantly
killed at 8 o’clock to-night, in front of the
store of Baisden & Mize, on Cotton avenue.
The ball entered the Pack of his head and is
supposed to have been fired from a pistol in
the" hands of Lon Shell, a well known
negro man. Shell was in the store talking
to Hugh Mize when Abraham Gorman
came in and asked Shell out on the sidewalk,
as he wished to see him. Dixon and Daniel
May were standing on the sidewalk in the
dark at the time, in a few moments two
snots were fired in rapid succession, when
May was heard to say, “Lou Shell has
killed a negro.” Up to'lo o’clock to-night
neither Shell, May, nor Gorman had been
found, though Marshal Lingo is using the
best efforts of his whole force to aonre
hend them. The body of Dixon is at' the
court house awaiting the arrival of the cor
oner of the county.

Assaulted the Woman in ths Case.
Athens, Ga, May 3.—C01. Phil W.
Davis of E.berton was in this city to-day
and gave to the Banner this afternoon tbe
following communication in reference to
the Davis-Harper affair:
To the Public:
On the i*th day of April last one James
Harper, tasinz advantage of my inability to de
fend myself on account of 6>ckness, made an
assault upon rn* in the street* of F..berton,
knocked me down and otherwise mistreated me
in the most r utragous manner. For several
days thereafter I was confinel to my bed and
room on account of tbe illness from which I
was suffering at the time I was attacked.
A CHALLENGE.
As soon as I was able to do so I addressed
him the note, a copy of which will be found
below and received the reply appended:
. KhßKßros, Ga.. April 28, 1890.
I lr. James L.. Harper , Elbert jn. Go.:
- Sir—Owing to my physical condition since I
last saw you I nave been unable to communi
cate with you sooner conc-rmng t .e difficulty
wnich occurred between us in Elbert on on April
9 last My friend, S. L Carter, wiil hand you
this note You will please name your friend,
aDd the time and place so rewbere beyond the
Savannah rive.-. on the South Carolina side,
that a meeting may be arranged for t e pur
pose of settlling the trouble between us. Re
spectfully, Phil W. Davts.
HARPER'S DECLINATION.
Elberton , Ga., April 29,1830.
Mr. Phil W. Davis:
Sir—Your communication of the 28th to
hand through your friend. Mr. S. L. Carter. In
reply, I bare simply to say that your conduct
in the past debars me from recognizing you in
the capacity you request. This will he con
veyed to you by my friend. Mr. John C. Brown.
Respeetfudy, Jakes L. Harper.
It will thus be seen that .lames L. Harper
attacked and mistreated a sick man, and tnen
refused him satisfaction when he was able to
get up and act. Nothing is left mo but to de
nounce him as I now do as an unmitigated
scoundrel and an infamous coward.
(Signed.) Phil W. Davis.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
The other communication is ns follows:
To tbe Public—la connection with the diffi
culty between James L. Harper, and myself
referred to in another communica ion, it is my
duty to say that, as he as he assumed to act in
behalf of a lady whom he pretended I had in
sulted. I now declare that in the whole of my
life never by t nought, word or deed have I
knowiDgly done her a wrong. She is a lady
who is a near relative of my wife,
whom I have known long and well and ' alvavs
respected. I dined at her house the dsy before
the difficulty with Harper, as I had frequently
dene before, and met her and parted with her in
the same spirit of respectful regard wnich I had
always felt for her ns the auut of my wife. I am
unconscious of having Slid or done anyth]ug
to wound the feelings of the
most sans.ttve lady, and was amazed when I
afterward heard she lelt aggrieved at any con
duct of mine. However, if i nave unconsciously
said or done anything at any time to wound her
feelings I am ready to make whatever apology
she may require.
(Signed.) Phil W. Davis.

Might Have Suspected Him.
A Boston lawyer, says the Buffalo Courier,
writes a friend in Buffalo: “I tried a case tbe
other day for a Frenchman who prides himself
on his mastery of English idioms and slang.
After tbe trial he said: ‘When you said in your
argument that to make the contract I was
charged with, would be the act of an insane
freon, you put the whole case in a chestnut p
won his case for him, or I might have sus
pected him.”

Spring
Medicine
At no other season does the human system so
much need the aid of a reliable spring medicine
like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a* now The impover
ished condition of the blood, the weakening
effects of the unbealtbful winter, the lost appe
tite. and that tired feeling, all make a good
spring medicine absolutely necessary. Hood's
Saras pan.la is peculiarly adapted for this pur
pose, and increases in popularity every year.
Give it a trial.
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
"I have been suffering more or less with dys
pepsia and liver difficulty for a long time.
Being handed one of Hood's Sarsaparilla pam
phlets, I concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla
and Hood’s Pills, and am now in better health
than I have been for twenty years. I can safely
recommend ths medicine.” G. G. James, !
Winona, Missi-sippi.
Purifies
ths Blood
“My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
oil till she became 6 years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them, after
growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg. became a
running sore for over three > ears. We gave her
Hood's Sarsaparilla, whan the lump and ail in
dications of scrofula entirely disappeared, and
now she seems to be a healthy child.” J. S.
Carlile. Xauright, N. J.
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Has a record of cures of Scrofula and other
blood diseases never equaled by any other prep
aration. The most severe cas?s yield to this
remedy when others have failed to have the
slightest effect. Hereditary scrofula, which
clings to the b ood with the greatest tenacity, is
cured by this peculiar medicine. Its many re
markable cures have won for Hood’s Sarsapar
illa the title of “The greatest blood purifier ever
discovered.*’
Hakes the
Weak Strong
“Last Spring I seemed to be running down ia
health, was weak and tired all the time. I took
Hood's Sarsaparilla and it did me a great deal
of good. My little daughter, ten years old. has
suffered from scrofula and catarrh a great deal.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla did more good than any
thing else.” Mrs. Louisa Corp, Canastota, N. Y.

Medicine
“For five years I was .ck every spring, but
last year took Hood's Sarsaparilla and have not
seen a sick day since.” G. W. Sloan, Milton,
Mass.
“I wish to state the benefit I have derived from
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I have used it in the spring
for three years for debility and can say that I
gained in flesh and strength after using one bot
tle. It has also cured roe of sick headache.”
Mrs. F. H. Andrews, South Woodstock, C’ona,
Hood’s

‘ ‘While traveling in the East two years ago I
was completely broken down in health, weak
and tired and unable to sleep nights. I tried all
kinds of medicines, but none did me any good
till I took Hood's Sarsaparilla. After I had
used two bottles I was entirely well and in as
good health as ever. ” George M. Maurer, 70S

Purifies
the Blood
If you feel tired, weak, worn out or run down
from hard w< rk. by impoverished condition of
the blood or low state of the system, you should
take Hood'S Sarsapar 11a.
“Feeling languid and dizzy, having no appe

Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Has had remarkable success in curing dyspep
sia, sick headache, heartburn, sour stomach,
and similar troubles. It gently but surely tones
the stoma?h and digestive organs, creates a
good appetite, cures sick headache, overcomes
drowsy fe*lin < and mental depression. It also

“WE ARE THn PEOPLE.”
Walks need finishing, whether with decora
tions or otherwise, but modern house-builders
find by experience that by far the most desir
able and pretty finish is a handsome “Wall
Paper.” We have an
OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE STOCK
Of thousands of different patterns, and offer
our patrons this large variety to select from.
It might pay you to examine the many patterns
suitable for all requirements. The Kitchen re
qu,res not quite as nice a quality as the Spare
Room, and tue Dining-room a shade different
from the Parlor, the Hall and Bedrooms still a
different quality and pattern. We have numer
ous styles for each. Alabastine is still a popu
lar wall covering. Try it.
