Eugene Beck, the Rabun county wife mur
derer, who escaped the gallows through a
plea of insanity after killing both his wife

THE CALL-CHIPLEY CONTgsT,
A Fair, Cpen Debate to Settle Doubts.
Following is reply of Mr. J. N. Parker,
chairman of democratic executive commit
tee of De Soto county:
Arcadia, Fla., May 16, IS9O.
Hon W. D. Chipley, Tampa , Fla.:
Dear Sib—Your esteemed favor of 15th inst.
to hand. I have consulted several leading
democrats and all agree that a fair, open debate
is the only way to settle all doubts in the peop.e's
minds.
So we, as the people, will notify Senator Cail
and uive both an impartial hearing.
■Will give yo j notice in due time when to meet.
Hoping that all true democrats may see their
leadeis in their true light and that not hing shall
be bid, we are very truly your-.

COL. CHIPLEY AT TAMPA.
A Correspondent’s Opinion of the
Meeting There.
Tampa, Fla., May 18. —Last night Col.
Chipley attempted to review Senator Call’s
eleven years’ record as a United States
senator from Florida. CoL Chipley had the
appointment well advertised, arriving here
himself a day ahead of time. It was evi
dent that it was the intention of the man
agement to “do up” Seuator Call. Senator
Call’s Florida Central and Peninsu
lar enemies were summoned to at
tend the meeting—in fact, these fellows
had Chipley in tow, and were general man
agers. The turnout was email and the
meeting was a failure. A few curiosity
hunting republicans were present, who fur
nished most of the applause. It was a
lamentable fact to see how well the repub
licans enjoyed this most absurd method of
Col. Chipiey’s madness. The poorest judge
of huma > nature could not fail to see that
Col. Chipiey’s attack upon Senator Call’s
record was purely a pei’sonal matter, and
the colonel failed to tell his audieuce what
he was mad about.
CoL Chipley was preceded in his remarks
by a Mr. Johnson, a fluent and attractive
talker, who said some pretty things, tinseled
with oratorical fancy. He soared aloft in
regular silver-tongued style, and detailed a
record of CoL Chipley that the very angels
in heaven would not object to. All had
been great devotion to duty, and no mis
takes had marred the record of CoL Chip
ley.
From the first of CoL Chipiey’s speech to
the last a very prominent vein of personal
feeling marked his manner. He made
some serious charges against Senator Call,
but they were like petty cases filed on the
criminal docket of a country magistrate's
court to be tried at the next torm. None of
his charges were proven—none denied by
the accused, for the accused is busily en
gaged at bis post of duty in Washington,
and could not well be present
All good democrats deplore this personal
warfare of Col. Chipley. He will accom
plish nothing for the party and certainly
nothing for himself. His speech last night
had the effect to unite Senator Call’s friends
more closely to him, and to drive indiffereut
political friends into the strong column for
Call. Many distrust the motive that Col.
Chipley claims is moving him—the good of
the party. It is hinted that Cali has opposed
certain legislation in the Senate which
Chipley is looking after for n corporation,
and that there is that kind of method in
Chipiey’s madness. The entertainment
grew tiresome toward the end of two hours,
and was closed by passing around a few
dozen song books entitled “Review of Sena
tor Call’s Record, by W. D. Chipley.”

FLORIDA’S CAPITAL CITY.
County Politics—Chlpley’s Canvass—
Condition of the Crops.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 19.—County
politics was red hot on the streets Saturday.
Tho cattle men are bitterly opposed to the
“no fence” law now in force, and say they
are determined to elect reore sentatives to
the next legislature who will have it re
pealed. Someone started the rumor among
them that the “no fence” men had captured
the county democratic executive committee
and that they hnd a scheme to gerrymander
the county, reducing the basis of representa
tion in the county convention in the “cattle
belt” and increasing it in the “farming belt.”
Of course there was no truth in this rumor,
but it brought the country voters to town
in numbers, and street corner oratory was
the order of the day. The county conven
tion this year promises to be very lively and
exciting, and mauy think the “dark horses”
will stand an excellent chance of coming in
on the borne stretch.
chipley’s canvass.
Col. Chipley’a canvass of the state in
opposition to the re-election of Senator Call
is having its effect here; that is, it is causing
both the Call and anti-Call men to declare
their views of the contest and of the fitness
of Senator Call to he returned. The Call
men say that Chipley is doing great injury
to the democratic party, and that, notwith
standing the grave charges set forth by
Chipley’s speech, and more at length in his
pamphlet, that the real issue is “corporation
vs. the people,” and that Call will win
before the people. One of the senator’s
most earnest supporters says that his only
fear is the corrupting influence of money
upon the legislators, it being claimed that
$1,000,000 is to be expended in defeating
the senator’s re-election. On the other
band, the anti-Call men say that
the people of Florida owe CoL Chipley a
heavy debt of gratitude for opening their
eyes to Senator Call’s unfitness to represent
them. The discussions between the friends
of each side are quite livelv and promise to
grow hotter as the campaign progresses. It
having been rumored here that Seuator
Call is soon to speak at Arcadia, and that
CoL Chipley is going ba- k there to meet
him, has added now life to the discussions
here. The Call men say Chipley dare not
meet the senator on the stump, and tho
opposition say that it will be just the other
way. The republicans are very much elated
over the fight, and think it will make a
loop-hole for them to crawl through into
power again in some of the couuties.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
Farmers report crops in excellent condi
tion, the weather favorable, and say the in
dications are that the yield iu general crops
will be heavy. Owing to the long droug.it
early in tho setson the LeConte pear crop
will be short. Some say they will only gather
a quarter of a crop, whileotbers estimate that
the crop of the county will be fully half
what it was last year.
Solomon Sills has sold his crop of tobacco
from one acre for $l3O and J. E. Luten has
sold his crop from two acres for $270. There
will be a largely increased acreage planted
in the weed in thiß county this year.
Florida’s State Committee.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 19.—8 y direc
tion of Chairman Taliaferro of the state
democratic committee Secretary Wombell
to-day sent out out notices to each member
of the committee to meet in Tallahassee
June 10, in conference with the members of
the congressional executive committees of
the First and Second districts, to discuss
and fix the time and place for holding the
conventions.
Cottrell’s Marshal Balled.
Jacksonville,Fla.,May 19.—Town Mar
shal Mitchell of Cedar Key, who was a con
federate of Mayor Cottrell in the recent
outrages, was to-day released on a bond of
$2,000. He will leave here for his home in
the morning. Nothing has been hoard
from Mayor Cottrell, but a search is still
being made.
Lightning Kills a Boy.
Columbus, Ga., May 19.—Lightning
struck and killed a small negro boy in the
lower part of the city yesterday afternoon.
The sitting on a fenco under a
china tree when the lightning struck both
fence and tree, killing him instantly. After
the lightning a severe rain and hail storm

CAREER OF A CRACKSMAN
SIMMONS COMES TO GRIEF AFTER
MANY BURGLARIES.
A Neg-ro Once a Slave of the Pris
oner's Father His Companion in
Many of His Adventures—The Black
Now in Jail—Simmons a Member of
the F.eddinsr Gang.
Atlanta, Ga., May 19. —W. O. Sim
mons, a white man, supposed to be a
member of tbe famous Redding
gang of safe blowers, is
in Fulton county jail to-night, and
will be taken by the detectives to Clinton.
Ala. to-miirrow, where a rewkrd of S3OO is
offered for him. Simmons is a white man
who has operated extensively in Georgia
and Alabama He appears to have made
Macon his general headquarters. It is sup
posed that he was originally from Griffin,
where a mulatto thief named Charley Sim
mons, with whom the white man has been
associated in his crooked work, was brought
up. Charley Simmons is said to have be
longed to the father of W. O. Simmons.
THEIR FIRST WORK.
The first business they did was at Turin,
Ga, a little over a year ago. There they
blew open a safe and secured a snug sum.
Next, at Sawdust, Ga., they burglarized
a store and secured a big lot of goods, which
they shipped from some point ou the
Central railroad by express to Macon. The
officers were then oa the track of the
thieves, but tbe goods were taken from the
express office and secreted. Soon after
Charley Simmons was caught, and last Sep
tember be was sent up for six years.
THE WHITE SIMMONS KEEPS AT IT.
W. O. Simmons continued to operate. He
burglarized Chapman’s store at Fairhuru
and blew open the safe. Later he secured
about $1,700 by breaking open a safe at
Clinton, Ala. In those two jobs he is sup
posed to have been assisted by a negro
named Charles Dixon, a sort of illegitimate
brother-in-law of the Reddings. Dixou was
found on top of the National hotel in this
city about three years ago by a policeman,
whom he shot through the ear. The officer
also fired, but Dixon, though hurt, man
aged to get away.
A LITTLE MORE FUN IN ALABAMA.
The next recorded burglary of Simmons
was at Verbena, Ala. There he cracked a
safe aud got $659.
He next went to the big land sale at
Bluffton, where he hired himself as a waiter
in a hotel, and devoted his attention to
northern visitors with fat pocketbooks,
whom he relieved of about $590 by a series
of petty jobberies.
At Rome he was recently arrested under
another name. Detective Shackleford read
a description and concluded that the Rome
man was no other than Simmons. He went
to Rome to-day and identified him.

A CYCLONIC STORM IN OHIO.
Hail Driven Through Shingles and
Hundreds of Sheep Killed.
Cleveland, May 19.—A special from
Wooster, 0., says: “A terrific cyclonic
rain and hail storm passed over parts of
this county between 3 and 4 o’clock yester
day afternoon, doing a tremendous amount
of damage. Tho storm swept a section three
miles iu width and eighteen in length. Tho
most serious damage was done in the vil
lages of Congress and Roseburg.
“In Congress every pane of glass
facing north and west unprotected
by blinds was broken by tho
hail stories, which, in size, were as large as
hen’s eggs. Entire orchards and strips of
timber were blown down or twisted to the
ground, and houses, barns and outbuildings
were unroofed or blown down. The hail
was of such force as to be driven through
shingles. Hundreds of sheep were killed by
the hail.”

NAVAL WARFARE OF THE FUTURE
A Conflict with Hams Rather Than
with Guns.
From the Forum.
Each vessel will clear for action as soon
as the other is discerned—perhaps five miles
away. * * * Probably not a shot will
be fired until this distance is reduced to
2,000 yards, and probably both ships will
keep pointed toward each other until that
time. But now what will tbe contestants
do? It has been held that both will advance
steadily toward each other each com
mander hoping that some false move on the
part of his adversary will enable him to rush
forward, discharge his bow torpedo at 900
yards, a ,and perhaps follow it up with his
ram aud end the fight at once—until they
have approached so close, say 500 yards,
that neither dares to swerve lest he himself
be rammed; so that the ships will at length
collide end on, and maybe both sinkl
“The various inventions of the past few
years—rapid-firing guns, high explosives,
torpedoes, submarine boats, dynamite guns
and range-finders, the increased power aud
perfection of steam and electric machinery,
the improvement in powder and iu steel for
projectiles and for armor—have not revo
lutionized naval science so much as they
have broadened it. The principle of strat
egy remains the same, and so does the
necessity for the seuman’s skill. Engineers
construct, inventors invent, experiments
are tried, sham battles are fought, and
heated discussions agitate the naval mind,
but abe only thing that can determine tbe
real condition of naval warfare is a modern
naval war.”
A Man With a Complaint.
from, the Chicago Tribune.
“I wish the newspapers wouldn’t print
anything moro about the small amount of
money w hich a married man can live on in
a city,” writes “an employe.”
“Not long after the last article of that
kind was printed my boss came to me and
said ho would i ave to reduce my salary. I
was getting $22 50 a week. I told him that
any reduction in my wages would force me
to look for work elsewhere. He said ho
would bo sorry to lose me, but he could get
a man for less. I said that 1 didn’t know
how a man could work for any less and live
decently. Then he quoted that newspaper
article on me in which a lot of fellows stated
that they were living on small wages and
saving moner, and he said that on tho
strength of that article a number of people
who live in the c’uutry had made anplica
tions for work iu the city. It is a strange
thing that most mechanics and laboring men
who live in small towns are restless to got to
the city. A man who gets $1 50 a day in a
small town hears that men are being paid
$1 75 or $2 a day for the same sort of work
in the city. He thinks about the increase of
pay only, not about the increase of ex
penses. And the newspaper articles of
which t have spoken help to bring these
dissatisfied men here, and they are the very
ones who stir up dissensions when they
come.
"So you see I have got to hunt work—
when I have a chance —elsewhere because
some man w rote to the papers that he could
live on a salary of sls a week and lay up
money besides. Don’t give us any more of
this.”
A Railway up the Jungfrau.
FVota the American Architect.
A scheme is actually under consideration
for the construction of a railway up the
Jungfrau, in Bernese, Switzerland, one of
the loftiest and most difficult of ascent of
all the Alpine peaks. As the Jungfrau is
remarkable for the force of the avalanches
which rush down its sides at short intervals,
a railway on the surface would be out of the
question, and the rew road is to ascend
almost entirely in a tunneL Here and there
the tunnel will be aired and ventilated by
means of short galleries extending directly
out to tho mountain side, and the trains will
stop at these places, partly to allow the pas
sengers to enjoy ti e view from the opening
of the galleries, and partly to prolong the
ascent, so that tho change in atmospheric
density from a pressure of about fifteen
pounds to the square inch at the foot, to
ten ; ouuds at the summit, may not be too
suddenly felt. Evon with these stops the
journey will occupy only two hours. Al
tnough the view from the Jungfrau com
prises nearly all Switzerland and a part of
Germany, Italy is cut off from it by tho
still higher Monte Rosa range, and it seems
a pity that the energy needed for tunnel
ling a railroad to the summit should not be
kept for a lino to the top of the Mount
Blanc, which, though more than two thou
sand feet higher above the sea, is only about
as high above Chamounix as the Jungfrau
is above Interlaken, cr even Lauter
brunnen. while the view from it is infinitely
more interesting, comprising Switzerland
and tho Tyrol, Dortions of France, Ger

NOTICE SYNDICATES, INVESTORS AND
OTHERS.
Your attention is respectfully called to the
fact that we are now offering lots in the south
eastern section of the city, in blocks of 9or 18.
To small syndicates or investors of limited
capital this i3 a splendid opportunity, as these
lots, which are all staked off, and streets
oi'ened. are offered at the same rate that land
adjoining has recently been bought in bulk, and
the necessary cost in putting tne same on the
market, and profits to be made for investors
will consequently make these lots less than half
what adjoining property will be sold at. Young
men, get up small stock companies amongyour
salves while this opportunity offers, aud put the
profits in your own pockets.
