CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A DUEL THAT WASN’T FOUGHT
STILL TALKED OF.
A Cbinaman’s Wife cn a Bender With
a White Man—Railroad Tax Returns.
Savannah Military Commissions-A
Wife Stabber Sent Up for Seven
Years—A Row Among the Rifles.
Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—There has been
a great deal of talk here about an impend
ina duel between Capt Tcomas Lyons of
Cartersville and A. F. Woolley. The re
port never assumed the shape of reliable in
formation ; n Atlanta, and people here took
the whole thing with a big lump of salt. It
appears, however, that there was something
like a belligerent correspondence between
the gentlemen named on account of Mr.
Woolley’s salty card in reference to the
Henderson-N'esbitt race. Capt. Lyons
■was in the city to-day and said that Mr.
Woolley declined to give him satisfaction,
without stating reasons. It is said that
Capt. Lyon may denounce Mr. Woolley.
A CHINAMAN’S WIFE ON A DRUNK.
Henry Leon is a Chinaman who has an
Irish wife and runs a laundry on Marietta
street. The pair were married fifteen years
ago in Philadelphia and appear to have
gotten along together remarkably well, all
things considered. Seven half-breed chil
dren frolic about the laundry, and Leon, as
the only family man among the Atlanta
Chinese, has been in the habit of holding
his head a fraction high, but yesterday his
wife went on a drunk with a white man
named M. J. Griggs, and the inebriated
couple grew so familiar that the Chinaman
had to call in the police, who found Griggs
and the woman in the laundry cellar sunk
.in a drunken stupor. Arrests followed. Then
Griggs wanted to kill the Chinaman and
the woman swore at a most terrific rate.
This morning both were fined in the police
court for disorderly conduct. The China
man at once had Griggs rearrested and
carried before a magistrate, where a S2OO
bond was required of him to keep the peace.
This he was unable to give, though his son
offered to furnish it, provided the father
would go home. The inebriated parent re
jected the proposition.
A WIFE STABBER SENTENCED.
Wife Stabber Patterson was to-day given
seven years in the penitentiary by Judge
Richard Clarke. Patterson has tried to kill
his wife so many times and has been tried
< 60 often in consequence that the public have
grown nearly as weary of him as of Tolle
son. The new trial granted has cut off
three years of Patterson’s original sentence.
MILITARY COMMISSIONS.
Commissions were to-day forwarded to
First Lieut George T. Canu and Second
Lieut. J. Ferris Cann of Company C, Third
battalion, Georgia Volunteer Guards.
RAILROAD TAX RETURNS.
The controller general having repudiated
.the tax return of the Charleston and Sa
vannah and Atlanta and Florida railroads,
the governor to-day appointed Eben Hillyer,
W. L. Clarke and W. J. Singleton to
examine and appraise the property of the
roads in question under the tax act of 1888.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
road sent in a statement to-day. Its
property is returned at $1,600,000 le-s than
last year. The controller will promptly
reject it.
The Northen club had a meeting to-day.
W. H. Veneable was elected president and
W. L. Peek vice president.
A VERDICT FOR $11,250.
R. T. Allison has obtained a verdict for
$11,250 from the Richmond and Danville
railroad. Mr. Allison was a postal clerk.
On Nov. 12, 1888, a car rolled down an em
bankment, owing to the defective condition
of the newly laid track, and injured him
frightfully. The run-off that night has
been a remarkably fruitful source of dam
age suite.
A ROW AMONG THE RIFLES.
There is a big split in the Atlanta rifles,
and the two junior lieutenants have re
signed. It was at first reported that the
prize money won at the Kansas City drill
was at the bottom of the trouble. That is
not true. The unpleasantness did not grow
out of finances, and the report wifi be de
nied to-morrow. The truth is the victorious
company came to grief over the shattered
remnants of a shivered chandelier.
A telegram from Quebec announced the
safe arrival at the home of relatives there
of the son of Joel Chandler Harris, who was
reported missing.
WHITE BPBINGS’ POSTMASTER
Ee Is in Jail Charged with Compound
ing a Felony.
Jasper, Fla., June 25.—C. L. Morrison,
who was appointed postmaster at White
Springs against the protest of nearly every
citizen at that place, is in jail here charged
with compounding a felony. Some time
before he was appointed postmaster one of
the school boys in a person? I difficulty
shot him. After pretending that he
was going to push the case against the boy
to the full extent of the law he settled for a
monetary consideration. Morrison is the
postmaster involved in the Lewis and Mor
gan case, for which several of the citizens
of White Springs were arrested and carried
to Jacksonville upon trumped up charges.
CASBWBLL DEAD.
The Wound Inflicted by the Sheriff's
Posse Proves Fatal.
Watcross, Ga., June 26.—80 b Casswell,
the supposed murderer of Deputy Sheriff
Culpepper, died here this morning. The
sheriffs posse in pursuit of the fugitive
traced him to a swamp near Sc riven. The
sheriff stationed a guard at the pass. Cass
well came upon the guard at
dark, and was called upon to
halt. He began running and
was again called on to halt. Failing to
do so he was fired upon, from the effects of
which he died. The body was taken to
Mclntosh for burial this evening. There is
no evidence to prove his identity with that
of the murderer of Culpepper.
CUPID SPRINGS A BURPRISE.
L. E Arden and Miss Susie Footman
Married at Guyton.
Guyton, Ga., June 25.—Guyton society
was treated to a genuine sensation this
afternoon over a romantic affair. Laurie
E. Arden of the Central railroad, son of D.
D. Arden, and Mis Susie, daughter of Capt.
Footman, left the latter’s home, walked to
the residence of Rev. J. J. Morgan, and, in
the presence of his family, were quietly
married. The parties are prominent in
society circles, and their engagement was
not known to any one.

Georgia's Colored Masons.
Augusta, Ga., June 25.—The grand

vo tion here to-day elected John D. Camp
bell grand master and H. K. Desverney
grand treasurer.
I What it Costs
Mu3t be carefully considered by the great
majority of people in buying even necessi
ties of life. Hood’s Sarsaparilla commends
itself with special force to the great middle
classes, because it combines positive
economy with great medicinal power. It
is the only medicine of which can truly be
said "100 Doses Ope Dollar,” and a bottle
taken according to directions will average
to last a month.—Adr.

THOMASVILLE TOPIC3.
Division of the Estate of the Late 8. A.
Smith.
Thomasville, Ga., June 25.— 5. A.
Smith, who died some time ago in Thomas
ville, left a very considerable estate to six
heirs. The real estate in and near this city
is worth over $200,000. The commissioners
appointed to divide the greater part of this
valuable property finished their work Tues
day, and it was accepted and ratified by
the heirs. Among the pieces of realty
divided was a fine tract of about 400 acres
immediately south of the mam line of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
and partly within the city limits.
It is covered with a virgin
growth of pine, and offers the most desira
ble sites for homes that could be wished.
Streets and avenues have been marked out
throughout the tract, cutting it into lots,
blocks and smaller tracts. Some of the e
will be offered for sale and will realize
handsome prices. This tract alone is easily
worth and would bring SIOO,OOO.
VIRGINIA’S BONDS.
The State Commission Trying to Ar
range a Settlement.
Richmond, June 25.—A private cable
gram was received here to-day from London
stating that Virginia bonds are being depos
ited with the committee, and some of the
English bondholders are very sanguine that
the two committees having the matter
in charge will bring about a
settlement; also that litigation wilt
be stopped as far as practicable.
Any agreement that may bo reached by the
state commission and its creditors will have
to be sanctioned by the next legislature,
which meets in December, 1891, unless the
governor chooses to convene the body in
extra session. Eight years have elapsed
since the passage of the Itiddleberger hill,
and it must be admitted that some latitude
of construction will have to be allowed
even to effect a settlement under its pro
visions.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 26. 1890.
BLOCK OF THE FREIGHTS.
CHICAGO’S TIE-UP MAY HND IN A
GENERAL BTRIKE.
The Chairman of the Grievance Cc m
m.ttee Says the Men Are Going to
Use Every Lawful Means to Bring
the Road to Terms—Mails Sent on
Special Trains.
Chicago, June 25. —Telegraphic advices
from points in this state, Wisconsin and
lowa indicate that the tie-uo is not com
plete outside of Chicago, as was generally
supposed yesterday. Tne fact is that the
chief officer of the united railway em
ployes, who lives in Galesburg, 111., and
who alone has authority to order the strike,
has taken no action in the matter.
Yesterday’s action of the strikers in
decl arlng a tie up on all the lines under the
management of Division Superintendent
Russell was taken without authority, and
in the hope that the chief of the order would
approve it as an accomplished fact. While
most of the branch lines seem to be at a
standstill, advices are to the effect that the
main line, which traverses the state to Cairo,
is still in operation, and that the lines in
Wisconsin and lowa have not so far been
affected.
THE CONFERENCE.
The conference between the strikers’
committee and executive officers of the
road began at 0 o’clock and remained in
session till noon. As nearly as could be
learned, practically no progress toward a
settlement of the difficulty had been
made. In fact, it is understood that
a heated wrangle has thus far been the only
result. The divisions of the road now com
pletely tied up are those from Chicago to
Centralia, Chicago to Freeport, 111, and
Chicago to Dubuque, la. An exception as
to the suburban ue-up was made this morn
ing in favor of the waifs of the city, who
were to have a picnic at Jackson park, and
a long train was allowed to go out to carry
them and bring them back.
TRAFFIC TIED CP.
Asa result of the tie-up, the express com
panies of this city are refusing matter for
points on the Illinois Central.
About $200.0C0 worth of perishable freight
is side-tracked at Kankakee,some sixty miles
from this city.
Live stock en route for this city from
points on the Illinois Central is being
brought in by round about routes over con
necting lines.
It is estimated that between 1,500 and
1,600 men are idle.
Grand Master Wilkinson of the Brother
hood of United Traiumen was expected to
reach here from Galesburg to-day, but he
did not come, and it Is understood that he
sent word to the strikers that it is merely
the employes with which neither he or the
brotherhood have anything to do, and they
will have to settle without assistance.
A COMMITTEE FROM ELGIN.
An engine came in this morning from
Elgin. It brought a committee of men em
ployed on the Cairo division of the road to
demand the removal of E. J. Hartigan,
superintendent of that division. The com
mitttee has not yet presented its grievances
to the general officers of the company.
President Fish says that the strike has
not reached the point where action on his
part is demanded, but that if it does do so,
he will know what to do.
RAILROADERS OUT AT ST. LOUIS.
St. Louis, June 25. —Between four and
five hundred men employed by the various
railroads centering in East St. Louis struck
this afternoon for higher wages. They have
been getting $1 25 a day, and now demand
$1 50 for ten hours’ work. The local agents
have advised the superintendents of the
several lines of the situation and are now
awaiting instructions. Meanwhile work is
suspended, and a large amount of perishable
freight is in the different depots. Although
no demonstration has been made by the
strikers, the local agents have asked for
police protection.
AN UNPROMISING OUTLOOK.
From present indications it seems that it
is more than likely that before noon to-mor
row every railroad entering Chicago will be
tied up, and the entire carrying trade of the
city suspended for an indefinite time. So
far as the extent and features of the strike
of the Illinois Central train men
is concerned, to-day was a repe
tition of the twenty-four hours preceding.
The time was taken up with long confer
ences, in which the Illinois Central em
ployes showed little signs of yielding. The
final decision of the officials of the com
pany is to be given at 10 o’clock in the
morning, "On that decision depends the
whole issue,” said J. D. Caldwell, chairman
of the grievance committee, to-night. "If
it is satisfactory to the men they will re
sume work immediately. If not it is safe
to say that every road in Chicago will be
tied up in a few hours. This will be done
by the Brotherhood of Switchmen.
EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.
4 ‘Communications expressing sympathy
with our movement have been received
from the Chicago and Atlantic, Chicago
and Northwestern, Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, Wabash and Fort Wayne rail
roads. The switchmen are with us almost
to a man, and they can utterly stop the
traffic of the roads. It may seem unjust to
interfere with the business of
other roads for the purpose of
bringing the Illinois Central peo
ple to terms, but it is a supendious
leverage to bring to bear upon the officials,
and we shall not be slow to avail ourselves
of it. It will simply necessitate their de
ciding whicli is more important—to retain
an official who is generally objectionable to
the employes, or to put a block in the way
of the entire carrying trade of Chicago and
the northwest. If General Superintendent
Sullivan and General Manager Beck uphold
Supt. Russel, the greatest railroad strike on
record will ensue, and the financial loss will
be almost incalculable.”
MOVING THE MAILS.
The Illinois Central this morning receded
from its position of yesterday that it was
not required to send mails except upon reg
ular passenger trains, and to-day trains
with mail and express coaches only were
sent out. This was the resulc of a notice
from loyal postofflee officials that the road
would be held responsible under the law,
which in this case provides for a
fine equal in amount to the sum
which the road receives per day
for carrying the mails, for each train not
sent out. Supt. White of the railway mail
division of the postoffice) says that the road
will be compelled to pay this fine for not
sending out its regular mail trains yester
day.
Large quantities of fruits, berries, water
melons and the like are side-tracked at
various points down the line, almost ap
proaching the city limits, and are fast
rotting, and fruit and truck farmers along
the line are threatened with ruinous loss.
MEXICO’S REVOLUTION.
The Men Implicated Are Only a Band
of Robbers.
St. Louis, June 25.—A special to the
Republic from San Antonio, Tex., says:
"Felipe Gonzales, a wealthy merchant and
rancher of Tampico, Menico, arrived in this
city yesterday from the scene of the alleged
revolutionary operations in Mexico. Ac
cording to Senor Gonzales the revolution is
nothing more thau the bold attempt of a
well organized gang of bandits to commit
roLbery, and he gives particulars to con
firm this conclusion. ”
The Dead Flagman.
Americus, Ga., June 25.—Gus Dunn,
the flagman who was killed yesterday after
noon on the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery road, near Helena, by falling
from the top of a moving freight train,
was brought home to-day. He was just 21
years old, a son of J. B. Dunn. A large
number of friends attended his burial at 5
o’clock this afternoon. Dr. Campbell con
ducted the burial services.
HARDEMAN AT COCHRAN.
He Makes a Speech That Provokes
Frequent Applause.
Hawkixsville, Ga., June 25.—1n re
sponse to an invitation of the people of
Cochran, Col. Thomas Hardeman deliv
ered an address there to-day before a large
gathe: iag of the citizens of the town and
vicinity. The building (Woodard’s hall)
was crowded, and at the windows
and doors were people eager to
hear the old war-horse. Col Hardeman ar
rived on tne 10:40 o’clock train, and was
met at the dep tby a number of friends
and the famous Cochran brass band. He
was driven through the town in a surrey
and four—two grays and two blacks. At
11:30 o'clock Hon. IV. L. Grice introluced
CoL Hardeman, who addressed the meeting
for about three-quarters of au hour. He
was frequently interrupted by applause,
and it was very evident that that the meet
ing was in thorough sympathy with the
speaker.
HARDEMAX’S RECORD.
He said he had urged the alliance not to
eater politics as a body, warning them of
the fate which overtook the state grange.
For this he had been called an enemy of tne
farmers. He had battled for the cause of
agriculture for twenty years; he had advo
cated, while a member of the National
House of Representatives, the elevation of
the commissioner of agriculture to a cabi
net position; yet he was said to bean
enemy of the farmers. He had indorsed
everything Gov. Gordon had said in
his letter to the editor of the
the Alliance Farmer. He was au alliance
man; had taken upon himself the obligation
to support the principles of the order, yet
he had been called an enemy to the farmers.
His reference to his services in behalf of
the democratic party and the state in the
dark days of reconstruction was received
with tremendous applause. His speech was
listened to with close attention th: oughout,
not the slightest show of impatience beiDg
manifested, although the building was close
and disagreeably warm.
THE OUTCOME IN DOUBT.
The News’ correspondent has interviewed
a number of prominent citizens in regard
to the outcome of the election next Satur
day, June 28, but nothing definite can be
arrived at, for the Hardeman men retain
the county for their man, and the Northeu
followers are confident that if it depends
upon Pulaski county Hancock will furnish
the governor. It is not improbable that
there will be a contest in this county.
THE COMING PRIMARY.
Some time ago the democratic executive
committee ordered a primary on June 28 to
nominate a governor and state house
officers, to be controlled by the same rules
which govern in state elections. Under this
order, the county having a registration
law, only those who were qualified to vote
in the last election would be entitled to a
vote in the primary. In to-day’s issue of
the Dispatch and Neics there is a card
from CoL G. W. Jordan, in which he says
that the committee in ordering the election
to be controlled by the same rules that
govern state elections did not intend that
the registration laws should apply, but that
all democrats, Irrespective of registration,
might vote.
A JOINT DEBATE
Between Hardeman and Northen.
Col. Hardeman mailed the following letter
last night to Col. Northen:
Macon, Ga., June 23, 1890.
Hon. IF. J. Northen, tjparta. <ia.:
Dear Sir—Yours of June 21, Inviting me to a
joint discussion to be held In such section of
the state and under such directions as may be
agreed upon by mutual friends, has just been
received.
It gives me pleasure to say that your proposi
tion is agreeable to me. In fact, niv friends
have been for some time considering the pro
priety of making a suggestion to you very
similar to the one that you have made to me.
Of course, the times and places of meeting and
order of discussion between you and me will be
arranged by our friends, three of whom I have
selected and three of whom you will
select. These gentlemen will make
all the arrangements to carry for
ward our joint discussion. The time in
which these joint discussions can be made is
very limited, and we cannot hope in this man
ner to reach every county in the state, but trust
the views and the principles of each of us, which
may be promulgated in the discussion pro
posed, will reach not only those w ho may have
an opportunity to hear us, but those who live
at a distance will receive them through the
medium of the press. To make mys-if per
fectly understood, and to reiterate the fact that
the position which I occupy in this cam
paign is the one already taken by me in my
letter to the people of Houston county, I again
refer to that letter. It contains all that is em
bodied in the first six articles of what is known
as the “Alliance Yard stick.’’ For the seventh, I
would remove all restriction upon state banks
and repeal the law prohibiting national banks
from taking lands as security for loans. For the
eighth, I can say with Gov. Gordon, who in
his letter enthused the alliance: “I indorse
without reserve and with unabated em
phasis, the policy of the alliance for an increase
of the circulating medium of the country; as to
the best means of obtaining that increase, I
frankly admit I am not fully prepared to ad
vise." In other words. I am not prepared to
recommend the sub-treasury scheme as the
best remedy that will meet the requirements of
the farmer. This is my platform. lam per
fectly willing that you should present yours
and let the people, who are entitled to be in
formed fully, know what you indorse and where
you stand. Do you confirm the state
ment found in the Farmers' Alliance, June 10?
“The thing is fixed. ” That you had put your
self upon the alliance platform and said to that
paper, ‘ though you have differed with me, I
am on this platform, have been here all the
while, and am there to stay.’’ Which plat
form contains the sub-treasury bill ? Or do you
stand upon the platform of your home organ,
the paper which announced your candi
dacy, the Sparta Ishmaelite, to wit: "The coun
try is going to have something better than the
truck patch trust and eleemosynary inflation
Echeme” I add, of the sub treasury bill. Upon
whatever platform you may determine to
stand, lam willing that the people shall hear
us in joint discussion, and let them decide be
tween you and your platform and me and
mine.
I beg to assure you that you need be under no
fear of misrepresentation from me, or of unbe
coming personalities in discussion. The issues
involved in this campaign are too serious; they
involve too much that is near and dear to our
people to permit me to stray from the path of
an earnest, dignified debate.
I beg to name as gentlemen who will represent
me on the committee of arrangements as fol
lows: Col. Dan G. Hughes. Washington Dessau
and George C. Price, Yours very truly,
Thomas Hardeman.
AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION.
The Officers Elected—To Meet at Chi
cago Next Year.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 25.—The conven
tion of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers finished its work
this evening, and adjourned finally after a
session of three weeks. The only business
done to-day was the election of officers and
the selection of the place for the next an
nual meeting. The election resulted as fol
lows: President, William Wi he of Pitts
burg; secretary, Stephen Madden of Pitts
burg; treasurer, James Penny.
William Martin, who has been secretary
of the association since its organization,
surprised the convention by refusing re
election. There was a spirited contest be
t veen Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and
Allegheny City for the place of holding the
next meeting, but the latter place was
finally selected.
HARKIoON AND M’KINLEY.
The Two Conspiring to Thwart
Blaine’s Plans.
Washington, June 25. —Chairman Mc-
Kinley dined with the Presider.; and was at
the White House until a late hour to-night,

SALUTES FOR SALVATOR.
Ha BEATS TENNY BY A HEAD AND
BOTH BEAT THE R3COBD.
The Loser Started With the Lead, But
His Jockey Held Him in and Let Sal
vator Get the Pace—Other Events of
the Day on the Turf.
Nbw York, June 25.—Interest in to
day’s races at the Sbeepshead Bay track
was centered in the match at the suburban
distance between Salvator, winner of the
Suburban, and Tenny, who ran third in
that event. Twenty thousand people
crowded into the grounds of the club and
acted like crazy people when Salvator won
in the remarkable time of 2:05, beating
Kingston’s record by a second and a half.
It was a grand race, and, altnough Sava
tor won, it was no disgrace to Tenny.
HOW THE BETTINO RAN.
Although the match was the fourth event
on the card, it occupied the attention of the
betting public from the time the book
makers opened their stands for basinets
early in the afternoon. Before the sport
began the books were opened on the match
at 65 to 100 on Salvator aud 11 to 5 against
Tenny. Plenty of business was done at
these figures.
THE START AND FINISH.
Both horses started under a strong pull,
with Tenny a length in the lead, but he was
Sulled back by Garrison, ana Salvator with
lurphy up made the pace. When the
horses entered the home stretch Salvator
had a lead of a length and a half. The
whip was used freely on Tenny, and when
the horses passed under the wire he was but
a head behind Salvator. Both horses broke
the record. The match was for 85,000 a
side and 85,000 added by the club, one and
a quarter miles.
