CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
REV. M'CUTCHEN BRINGS SUIT FOR
DIVORCE.
He Pictures His Wife as a Regular
Tartar—A Missionary Who Was
Formerly a Caunibal of the Fiji
Islands on a Lecturing Tour—Tax
Returns of Two Railroads Rejected.
Atlanta, Ua., June 34. —Rev. Thomas
E. McCutcben has filed suit for divorce
against his wife, Mrs. Lula B. MeCutchen.
The reverend gentleman married Miss Lula
Richardson in Logan county, Kentucky, in
ISS2. The pair lived together in tolerable
peace and forbearance until two years ago,
when a domestic war broke out. Since then
there seems to have been continual strife
until about two weeks ago, when the wife
swore out a warrant against her clerical
spouse for beating her. He disappeared
for some days and then wrote a letter
charging the iady with being the aggressor,
and though he admitted having slapped
her, protested that he had been goaded past
all limit of human endurance. On the par
son’s return friends endeavored to smooth
over the trouble. The warrant against him
was withdrawn, and yesterday a conference
of Baptist ministers rendered a decision in
his case which amounted to a qualified in
dorsement.
HIS PETITION.
As soon as his brother minis
ters had passed upon his case
Kev. MeCutchen filed his proceed
ings for divorce. He declares that he has
been a faithful and loving husband, and
has done all in his power to make his wife
happy, and that in ' return she
has abused and maltreated him,
and threatened his life repeatedly
acd exerted herself to the utmost to vex
and annoy him, until she made life almost
unbearable. He avers that in speech and
action she is not only indiscreet, but im
moral, and insists that on account of such
depravity she is not a fit custodian for their
'three children.
AN EX-CANNIBAL IN TOWN.
A Fiji islander named Chevous has come
here to lecture. He is a sharp-nosed, sharp
witted, copper-colored personage, wuo
speaks a number of languages, and claims
'to have dined off more than a score of fat
missionaries on bis native sand flats.
,TV hen a mere child he was stolen
•by English sailors and taken to
Salamanca,Spain,where he received a good
education and joined the Church of Eng
land. Later he acted as interpreter for the
white missionaries in his own country. He
comes to this country from Calcutta. He
tells marvelous tales of cannibalism, of
children slaughtered by thetr parents as
sacrifices to sin and other barbaric legends,
for which his mysterious appearance and
(scholarly enunciation will go far to obtain
“belief.
TAX RETURNS REJECTED.
The controller general has declined to re
ceive the tax statements filed by the
Charleston and Savannah and Atlanta and
Florida railroads. Both lines return their
taxable property much lower than last
j-ear, and the last named road protests
against the payment of any property tax at
all.
After hearing argument the railroad
commissioners this morning reduced the
rate on iron wagons. They were placed in
freight class No. 6 instead of No. 4, in
which they have hitherto been scheduled.
The movement to organize a ilardeman
club will be met by the establishing of a
like organization in favor of CoL Northen
to-morrow.
Application has been made to the secre
tary of state for a charter for the Atlanta
and Birmingham railroad. The capital
stock of the company will be $200,000.
THE STOCKADE ON FIRE.
To-night the city stockade took fire, and
in the excitement about eight prisoners
managed to make their escape. Several of
the number were wanted on more serious
charges than those under which they had
been sent to the stockade. Not infrequently
criminals against whom there are state
cases are sent to the stockade for city of
fenses and manage to get away.
Against one of those who escaped
to-night there were pending two or three
felonious charges. Linder similar circum
stances, not a great while ago, a negro,
charged with assault to rape, was sent to
serve a term of several days in the city
gang. When his time was out so was he.

A FALSE FEVER REPORT.
Brunswick Denies a Statement Wired
to New York.
Brunswick, Ga., June 24.—A telegram
■was received here at noon to-day from New
York stating that the New York Times
published a special from Louisville saying
that Richard Glasgow died here May 23 of
yellow fever. The citizens were astonished,
as they remembered the death of Glasgow
as having occurred on May 23, but he died
of hemorrhage. A meeting of the city
council was at once called to acton the false
impression that had been seat out. The
city physicians, health officers and others
were called together and a complete denial
of the statement was made and telegraphed
to New York and to Glasgow’s relatives in
Jeffersonville, Ind. It is a mystery to all
here how the report originated, as there
was not the least foundation for it. Bruns
wick was never in better sanitary condi
tion than at present, nor was there ever so
little sickness at this season. The citizens
ate very indignant over the report.

mencement sermon of Emory college was
preached on Sunday, June 22, by Bishop
O. P. Fitzgerald, of the Southern Methodist
Church. His theme was the cause, symp
toms and cure for national decay. Igno

second, and the knowledge of God the
third. The sermon was full of thought and
logical truths that made a profound im

of his clear and pointed sermons.
SAM JONES.
At night Sam Jones preached one of his
characteristic sermons to 2,000 people, the
largest audience ever assembled in Oxford.
His text was: “God so Loved the World,”
etc. He handled his text in a skillful and
impressive manner. Among other things
he said before he began that there must be
no talking in the audience. He proposed to
do the talking, and if they must talk to go

Q. C. Lamar, one of Emory’s most distin
guished graduates. With no announced
subject and dealing largely in reminiscences
of college life and college history, his ad
dress was a masterpiece of logic and rhetoric,
completely captivating a large and
appreciative audience, many of whom were
the friends of his youth. His tribute to
the “old south” was grand, bringing forth
unlimited applause from his hearers. No
synopsis is attempted. The speech will ap
pear later in pamphlet form.
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Twenty years ago Judge Lamar filled a
similar engagement at this place, and made
by hi* address a profound impression,adding
to his well-known reputation as a man of
brain and literary attainments. To-day he
fully sustained himself and won new laurels.
Though feeble physically, he has lost none
of his mental force or vigor. At times the
old fire would burn, forgetful of physical
weakness, and it manifested itself in a mag
nificent burst of eloquence.

TAKING THE FINNS’ CENSUS.
The Young Man Got the Information
He Wanted, and Some Beside.
From the Xew York Sun.
"I have come to take the census of the
family,’’ said a young man with a portfolio
under his arm, when Mrs. Finn opened the
door.
“The cinsus, is it.’’ replied the woman in
a puzzled tone. Then, remembering that it
would never do to confess ignorance, she
continued: “Faix, there’s ne’er a wan in
this house. I’m afther lindin’ it to Mrs.
McCarthy beyant. But if I bad it here ye
wouldn’t get it. Who sent ye afther it,
annyhow, wid yer stovepipe hat and yer
airs?”
“Excuse me, madam. You evidently do
not understand. I am an agent of the
United States government come to ”
“An agint, is it, peddlin’ bukeg. Faith,
man dear, 1 have no time for l’arnin’. Wid
washin’ and mendin’ and milkin’ the nanny
me time is gone intirely. I know ye poor
divils has to live along wid the re6t of us,
but if ye were to give me the buke free fur
nothin’ I couldn’t rade it, I’m that ignorant
o’ ’nolledge.”
Mrs. Finn stopped to take breath, and
the young man took advantage of the
break to drive a wedge of logic into the
conversation.
“I simply want to know your Christian
name, your name in full, and whether you
have au initial or middle name:’’ said he.
“Fwbat’s that! Ye want to know me
Christian name! Yerra, man, do you take
me fur a moon-eyed haythin blaggard!
D’ye thin k wu’d I ha ve any other nor a Chris
tian name in this blessed counthry 1 G’out I”
Mrs. Finn glared at the enumerator and
made a step in his direction as he hastily
exclaimed:
“Excuse me, but is your name
Murphy, or McGuinness, or MoFadden ”
“Faith it is not,” interrupted Mrs. Finn,
with a scornful toss of her head; “it’s jest
Finn. As dacint a name as iver a woman
had, wid no Mac’s or O’s to it, like two
tails to a goat. Biddy Finn, no more, no
less.
The enumerator made the first entry ana
hurried onward with his questions. He
thought at last he had got Mrs. Finn into
an abbreviating mood: *
“Are you a widow, Mrs. Finn?”
“A widdy, is it! Begorra, I hav’ a man
as ’ud make two like you, me laddy buck.
Ye may hav’ the lamin’, but he has the legs
and arrums, and a chtst on him like the
round side of a barrel o’ beer.”
-Mrs. Finn had been surprised into an ex
plicit declaration, and the enumerator be
gan to congratulate himself on an easy vic
tory over the loquacious woman. He con
tinued:
“Of what color is your husband?”
“Shure I forget,” meditatively replied
Mrs. Finn. “Troth, I think he’s the color
o’ anny other Irishman, Sometimes when
he does be cornin’ home tired from the
quarry he does be white as the wall wid the
wakeness on him from the hard work, poor
man. But whin he has the dhrop in him it
rises tho blush in his chake like a red rose.
I teen him turnin’ all colors wid rage whin
the goat ’ud be ’atin’ the cabbidge. Ye’d
think he’d be a Chinese or a nagnr he’d be
that black in the face, and small blame to
him, fur thim goats is divils where thare's
cabbidge intirely, so they are, and not con
tint wid grass, which the same is tinder and
juicy and makes the nanny give plinty o’
milk, glory be to the saints! and whin the
cow’s milk is scarce the nanny’s milk is
haudy fur to be puttin’ in the tay, so ’tis,
and if ye’ll hold yer whist, me lad, I’ll be
givin’ ye a sup o’ the nanny’s milk, so I will,
that’ll ”
“You are the mother of how many
children?” broke in the voung man upon
the smooth flow of Mrs. Finn’s monologuo.
This question but started her fluency in
another channel, and, hardly stopping to
catch her breath, she started in afresh,
“Well, there’s Mickey. Divil a finer lad
ye’ll mate nor him, sir. It’s handy he is at
learniu’ thricks. Shure lasht night I cotch
him smokin’ his father’s pipe, he’s that
bandy, and he so young.”
“Is Mickey the only child you have?”
“He is; God bless him! He had a little
sisther wanst that’s up with St. Pether now.
It’s mighty quare about childer. sir. Some
o’ tbiin ’ll run around bare-legged wid
nothin’ on tbim fur shelter from the wind
or the rain, and they’ll be fat and impident,
so they will, like a puck goat, and divil’s
the harrum ’ll come to thim at all, at all.
And thin tbere’ll bo others as’ll be whinin’
wid the could and crawlin’ under thasthove
to kape the breath o’ life in tbim. Arrah,
good day to ye, Mrs. O’Brien. Here’s a
gintlemin as|is takin’ me pedigree and be
puttin’ it in a little buke for t’ be showin’
the President of Ameriky, twile he’ll be
sittin’ in his goold chair wid a nagur to be
kapin the flies off him. And d’ye mind the
quare pin he has wid the ink in tbe handle.
Wud ye mind showin’ Mrs. O’Crien the
Yankee invintion, sir. Oh, dear, oh, dear,
dirt 1 ivir see the likes o’ that ? I s’pose, sir,
ye hav’ a weeny ink bottle in the handle!”
While the two women were examining
the fountain pen the enumerator managed
to put in another question. He was not
getting along fast, and hastened to make up
for lost time.
“Where were you born, Mrs. Finn?” said
he.
“Many t’ousands o’ miles from this spot.
I wisht I was thare now, so I do. Did ye
iver hear o’ Clahane in Ballyduff, me lad?
Arrah, ye should go to the puck goat fair
they have ivery year, wid the goal: up iu a
little cage and him wid ribbons ’round his
neck ”
“But, my dear madam,” said the enumer
ator, impatiently, “all this is of no interest
whatever to me. I’m not taking the census
of the goats in Ireland. Please be kind
enough to tell me if you were boru in Bal
lyduff?”
“Faith, I was not. Shure I drew me first
breath iu Kilkerren, about six Irish miles
from Carnah, and the same number of
miles from Currawe, in the county o’ Gal
way, though many people thinks Kilkerren
is in Connemara. And by the same token,
there was a brave docther in Carnah, which
the same was an illegaut liar. He’d be
tellin’ ye lies ’till ye’d split yer sides wid
laughin’. He was always as hungry as Ma
loney’s calf, and as thirsty as dhry turf.
Gorra, 1 remember well the stbory he’d be
tellin’ about the wan-legged duck wid the
cock eye ”
“Really, Mrs. Finn ”
“And his wan leg was in the middle of his
body all the same as it might be he was
walking on one sthilt, ana when he’d dip
his head for a morsel o’ corn he was that
high ”
“How long have you been in this coun
try?” cruelly interrupted the enumerator,
wno was now in a state of extreme nervous
ness.
“Fur manny years, sir. More nor ye’d
count on yer fingers and toes and more be
sides. Mike—tnat’s me husband, sir—kem
out afore me, sir, and sint me tbe money to
come afther. If ye’d see bim and he meet
in’ me at Castle Garden and grabbiu’ me in
his arrums, like the grizzly bear I seen in
the show, and him cryiu’ wid the beer,
which the same he tuk fur to kape his
courage up fur fear somethin’ happened me
cornin’ over and I trun in the say! Oh, dear,
oh dear!’’
“You say you have been here more than
twenty years, Mrs. Finn. May I ask how
much more?”
“Shure ye may. Ask away.”
“Well?”
“It’s a dacint chap ye seem to be, and it’s
meself ’ud tell ye; but it’s so long ago that I
forget it entirely. If ye’ll come around in
about throe wakes I might be abie to find
out. Ye see. I’il get me little son o write a
lettber to me sister iu Kilkerroa and find
out fur ye, if that'll do ye.”
“Well, Mrs. Finn, you probably think me
very inquisitive. Bnt this isn’t a personal
matter with me. lam hired to get certain
facts, and if you will simply answer the
questions briefly it will greatly oblige me.”
“Faith I will, me lad. You’re ped for
doing it, aud why wouldn’t I put an odd
dollar in yer pocket? Of course it’s aisier
to be carryiu’ a little buke under yer
arrum and askin' impident questions nor it
is to be worsin’ in the quarries or peddlin’
fish. But the saints pretar ve me from
harrum if I’ll be puttin’ a sthraw in yer
way, me lad—”
“Arrah, sthop yer blather, and give the
man the ’nolledge he'* wantin’. Troth,
ye’re as windv as a Galway fish woman,”
said Mrs. O’BrieD. “Go on, sir, and I’ll an
swer the questions mejelf and save the time
for ye.”
“Dade ye will not, thin,” spoke up Mrs.
Finn, angrily. “Don’t be cornin' in me
own house to ballyrag me, Mrs. O’Brien. I
know me own business, and it’s well fer ye
I’m kapin’ me timper.”
The young man spoke up hastily to quell
the rising storm with another question as to
whether Mrs. Finn was suffering from any
acute or chronic disease.
“Dis’ase, is it?” was the reply, with a pro
found sigh. “I’m afeard there’s something
the matther wid me heart. Whin Mickey
fell down the cistern the other day, and I
flshin’ him out wid a clothes pole. I was
that frekened me heart jumped up like as if
’twas playin’ Tap frog in me t’roat. It
went t’ump, t’ump, agin me ribs till I
t’ought ’twas cornin’ out o’ me body. Thin,
whin the weather is wet I have the rheuma
tiz in me two knase. Shure, I tried iverv
tbing, mustard wather and vinegar and
Dr. Bor kin’s oil o’ gladness, but tbare the
pain was, like an achin’ tooth.”
The enumerator could stand it no longer.
He arose, bowed, and started for the door.
Mrs. Finn cried:
“Come back, sir. Ther’s wan o’ the
family ye didn’t get.”
“Indeed! What is the name?” asked the
enumerator, lingering on the threshhold.
“Billy Finn.”
“Married or single?”
“Married.”
“How old?”
“Nine years, sir.”
“And you say, he’s married?”
“Yis, sir. He’s the billy goat.”
A DUBL WITH LARIATS.
The Desperate Contest of Two Wrath
ful Mexican Vaqueros.
from the Memphis Avalanche.
Moore Station, Tex., June 15.—A novel
duel was fought near here yesterday be
tween two Mexican cowboys named Jose
Carrasco and Manuel Bosco. Carrasco was
in possession of a fine mottled cow which
Bosco claimed belonged to him, and had
been stolen some time previous.
The two men met in the roadway. They
were both on horeback, and their laria’s
hung from the pommels of their saddles.
Bosco hailed Carrasco and demanded the
return of his cow. The latter became
furious at the suggestion that he had come
into posessiou of a stolen cow, and his hot
Mexican blood began to boil. Words of a
sulphurous nature began to pass between
the cowboys, when Bosco called Carrasco a
liar. Scarcely had the word been spoken
when, quick as a flash, the irate Carrasco
grabbed his lasso from his saddle and,
whirling it with a quick movement over his
head, sent it with a swish toward Bosco’s
neck. The latter ducked his head
and grabbed his lariat as he did so.
Then began one of the fiercest bloodless
battles that the past has recorded. Up
and down the roadway the two horsemen
dashed, the lassoes of the duelists flying and
circling in the air. Not a word was
spoken. As fast as the lassoes fell short of
their mark they were jerked quickly to
gether, and, with a twirl over the head
each cowboy endeavored to encircle the
other’s neck.
The horses were flecked with foam, and
both of them dashed away in the same
direction, seeming to realize the fight to the
death going on between their riders.
| |On sped the horses, but not a word spoke
the fighters.
Bo3co finally turned his eyes from the
other cowboy for an instant, and, quick as
a flash, Carrasco dropped the noose of bis
lariat over his adversary’s neck, swung his
pony around with a jerk, and, putting
spurs to the animal, started off in the oppo
site direction.
Bosco was jerked from his horse so sud
denly that tajs neck was broken, and he was
dragged over the ground at full speed for
more than a mile. •
The victor disengaged his lariat from
his victim’s neck ana coolly rode into town.

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. A Boston lady, whose example is
worthy imitation, tells her experience below:
“ In one store W’here I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood's; he told me thelr's
would last longer; that I might tafce it on ten
To Get
days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I had taken
Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia,
and so weak that at times I could hardly
Hood’s
stand. I looked like a person in consump
tion. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much
good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
