Newspaper Page Text2 CAPITAL OF THE STATE. W.T.B. WILSON MATRON AGAINST LIVINGSTON. He Is a Republican but Counts on Catching Many Democratic Votes— Control of the Shr.evalty A Vigi lance Committee Organize in a Suburban Town - Livingston and Whidby Make Up. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 12.—For tea or fif teen years the sheriffs office here has been under the control of CoL L. P. Thomas. Capt. August Perkerson. Judge Wilson and Judge C. C. Green. All of the gentlemen are very popular, and it seetrs impos sible to beat the combine. Judge Green’s death occurred a few months ago, andjiow anew set of candidates are spoken of for the positions. They are Capt. J. W. Morrow, who has been with the Georgia railroad for years: Dr. C. C. Green, a son of the late Judge Green, and T. M. Armisteaa. If they determine to run the campaign will be red hot. LIVINGSTON TO HAVK OPPOSITION. It seems that Col. Livingston is to have opposition for congress in this district. It js a well-known fact that the republicans have determined to put out candidates for congress in asmaDy districts as there exists a chance for success. They have settled upon the fifth as a promising field for a Strong candidate. Col. Livingston is very un popular in the district outside of the farmers’ alliance, and many strong democrats have asserted that they would vote for a republican in preference to casting their ballots for him. Edward Angier has been spoken of as a congressional possibility, but the leaders of the party have selected a much stronger man, IV. T. B. Wilson, who i9 being urged to make the race, and it is said by those in a position to know that he will be" a candidate. Mr. Wilson is a re publican but not an objection able one. He was postmaster at Atlanta before CoL Renfroe occupied that position, and he is the most popular man in the party in the Fifth dis trict. It is calculated that he can catch all the discontented democratic votes, as well as the solid republican vote, which gives him a fair chance of winning. A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN BELLWOOD. Bellwood, a suburb of Atlanta, is com peting with Dead wood and other places on the frontier. Last night half a dozen bouses were robbed tya gang of thieves. This morning the residents held a mass meeting and appointed a vigiiance com mittee. It was resolved to patrol the town and to deal summarily with all strangers caught on the streets after 8 o’clock at night, and if the characters were very sus picious to institute a lynching bee. THROWN FROM A HORSE. Marion Jackson, the 15-year-old son of Capt. Harry Jackson, was painfully but not seriously hurt to-day by beiDg thrown from a horse he was riding. LIVINGSTON AND WHIDBV. The differences between Col. Livingston and W. G. Whidby in regard to the letter sent to the former to sign, stating that he was not a candidate for the Senate in oppo sition to Gov. Gordon, have been ad justed. Mr. Whidby charged Col. Livingston with violating a confi dence placed in him by showing the letter to a number of gentlemen when it was a private letter. This, Col. Livingston denies in a letter to Air. Whidby to-day. He says “the circular for my signature m your letter to uie, was torn in two on the day that I received it and thrown aside. On the same after noon several gentlemen were in the office and the conversation turned on the prob ability of my opposing Gov. Gordon for the Senate. I replied that I was not a candi date in any sense for that place. One of the gentlemen remarked that they believed at the capital that I was, from the fact that a paper had been sent me to sign, which I refused to do. I then picked up the pieces of the circular and asked the gentleman if that was the paper to be signed. He replied ‘yes.’ Takiug it for granted that the whole matter was pub lic I then allowed others to read the circu lar who,were present.” WHIDBY'S REPLY. In replying to the lettor Mr. Whidby savs: “As you state ia your note to me to day that ‘not by my consent has auy one seen or read your letter to me since the delivery to me by Mr. Brown.’ and that, after reading my letter, ‘it was replied to and placed in my private drawer and has not teen seen nor can it be found since,’ I withdraw all remarks about your violating confidence.” TRAIN ROBBERS ESCAPE. A special to the Journal from Charlotte, N. C., says two men attempted to rob the passenger train which left here last night on the Air Line road. When it was at Lex ington, sixty miles north of Charlotte, one of them pulled the bell cord to stop the train, but the conductor, who saw him, signaled the engineer to go on. The man stubbornly refused to explain why he signaled the engineer to stop. Hon. R. P. Dick, a federal judge who was on the tram, was asked to arrest the two men. The judge summoned a posse and went for them but seeing the crowd approaching the mon rushed out and jumped from the train, which was running at the rate of fifty miles anhour, and made good their escape.

Aug. 12.—The lower part of Pulaski county is very much excited over the mysterious di-appearance of a married woman. Whitfield's district has been in a state of excitement for several days, and yesterday the husband of the woman was arrested on thecnarge of mur der, the warrant being sworn out by her brother. This morning the warrant was dismi sod. as there was no evidence on whicn to hold the prisoner. The husband had the brother arrested on two charges, perjury aid false imprisonment —and the accused was placed und-r bond to await the action of the grand jury. In the meantime tne excpement over the disappearance of the woman has not lessened, for as yet nothing has been heard "f her. She disap peared a week ago last Friday night, leav ing behind her several small children. It is said that the husband treated fcer cruelly, and as he seems to be indifferent to her fate and would not give her relatives any satisfactory answer when questioned, he was suspected of being implicated in her dis appearance, and he was arrested on tha charge of murder. The matter is shrouded in mystery, and the parties who are familiar with all the circumstances in the case will not talk. It is hoped that in a few days the whole matter may be cleared up and the woman discovered. WILCOX’S COUNTY SEAT. The Application of Abbeville for an Injunction Refused.

The Start on Avan Terms—On the Turn for Home Tenny Took the Lead, hut Salvator Shot to the Front Three Furlongs From the Flnieh and Won In a Canter. Monmouth Park. N.

Balgowan, Long Fortune, High Tan A, Fireworks, Kingman. Strathmeaih, Russell, Sirocco, Fanview. Bolero, Homer, Rio del Rey, Hurplui. Sorcerer, Sal ie McC.el laud, Kudeer and Ambulance Strathmeatb won, with Stllie McClelland seoond and Poto mac third. Time 1:9%. A MAGNIFICENT STRUGGLE. The flag fell to a grand start. Sallie Mc- Clelland was first to show. In the run to the quarter Ambulance went to the front and led to the three-eigtb post, where Potomac took the lead. He was quickly ousted from the place, however, by Sallie McClelland, who showed the way to the last furlong, where Strathmeatb aud Potomac moved up and a grand finish ensued. Sallie McClelland held her lead till the very last stride, when Strathmeatb, inaguificeutly ridden by Murphy, passed her and won by the shortest of heads, while she beat Potomac a neck for the place. Then came Rio del Rey, half a length away. Time 1:16^. TniRD Race —Champion stakes of $260 each, witn $2,500 added; one and one-half miles. The starters were: Salvator (Murphy) 122 pounds, ? to 10; Tenny (Garrison) 122 pounds, B to 5. Salvator won easily by four lengths. Time 2:45V*. It was just 3:55 o’clock when Tenny appeared on the track, and as he went past the strine he received round after round of applause. A few moments later Salvator came, and as he passed in review he presen, ted as grand an equine picture as was ever looked upon. Both horses went to the end of thehalf mile chute, and there were a few moments of breathless expectancy. AN EVEN START. Then, slowly at first, but gaining In speed at every jump, they approached the starter almost exactly on even terms. Down went the red flag, and the battle of giants bad commenced. Salvator’s biaze now showed in front on the outside, and he was under double duIL For five furlongs they ran in this order. Then as they struck the turn for home Garrison let out a link on Tenny and he shot to the front, getting a lead of half a length. MURPHY ON THE ALERT. Murphy was watching him, however, and did not allow him to get far away. He at once sent Salvator after him, and as they rounded Into the stretch he was at the little sway back’s neck. From that point to within three furlongs of home it was a pretty race. All of a sudden Murphy com menced to ride Salvator, and a shout went up “Tenuy is beaten.” It was true. Tenny had to acknowledge defeat. When Mur phy found that he had beaten he eased up, and as Garrison did the samo thing it was a tame finish. FRACTIONAL TISIE OF THE RACE. The fractional time of the race is as fol lows: Quarter, half, three quarters. 1:17; mile, 1:43; mile and a quar ter, 2:09; mile and a half, Consider ing that the track was quite cuppy it was first-class time.

C., Aug. 12.—At 1 o’clock this morning Hay Gardner, a young man who keeps a grocery 6tore in the northwestern suburbs of the city, was found dying in his store by a negro who passed the place at the time. A doctor was sum moned but the man died without making a sign His head had been crushed in by an ax-bandle, which was found near the scene of the murder with traces of blood and hair clinging to it. The murder is wrapped in mystery. At the coroner’s inquest to day the following testimony was devel oped : A w hite man named Mclnuery was seen talking with Gardner and left his store about 9 o’clock last night. At 1 o’clock this morning a negro named Curtis Schute heard groans in the store. DYING ON THE FLOOR. With some of the neighbors he went in and found Gardner lying on the floor with a fearful wound on the back of bis head. The skull was crushed and a heavy ax handle lying near by was evidently the instrument with which the blow had been dealt. On one end of it was blood and hair. Peter Hagan, a fisherman, and Wiley Pitts, a -caver,got- cart driver, both colored, were examined by the coroner. Tfceir statements w ere very confused. They ere committed to iail on suspicion that they com mitted the crime. SCHUTE ALSO HELD. Fchute was committed to jail as a mate rial witness. It is be.ieved that he knows more than lie has told. Pitts and Hagan have both had difficul ties with Gardner, and Pitts has been heard to threaten that lie would get even with him. Hagan was evidently roughlv han dled by Gardner, whom he cursed aud abused in his O" n store. The verdict of the jury was death at the hands of perso s uuknown. Mclnnery has not yet returned, although there are no suspicions against him. Florida’s Oranga crop. Jacksonville.

Ga CENTRAL’S IMPROVEMENTS. Steel Dalle, Stone Ballasting and Pretty Parks Among tbe Changes. Griffin, Ga., Aug. 12.—The Central railroad is fairly humping i self. If it ever lay in lethargic sleep it has risen, dusted it self, and runs foremost in the great race of progress. I went out yesterday over the road and saw the beautiful parks which General Manager Gabbett conceived three months ago. They are marvels of beauty. They are situated close enough to the track for the Iragrance of the flowers to pervade the cars as the trains pass. BEAUTIFUL FLOWER GARDENS. They are laid out in beautiful designs, and the plants are of the rarest sort. In some of tbe narks are lakelets, whose banks are fringed With violets, with backgrounds of boxwood. So.ne have mounds des.gned like urns, coverei with every variety of roses. Others have circles, crosses and triangles of lillies, bordered with delicate shrubbery and shaded by graceful paims and pal metto®-. It is a feast to the eyes of weary passen gers— the sight of these park3. Supt. Dill and Headmaster Marvin have nursed the enterprise of General Manager Gabbett w;tn a -treat deal of care, and where once l ig beds of rubbish lay heaned have sprung the most beautiful gardens of the rarest flowers. The C -ntral is the onlv road in the state which has beautified its line iu this manner. Such progress is significant of greater events. THE GENERAL MANAGER’S IDEA. General Manager Gabbett said that his idea in constructing parks was to throw around his employes every possible refining influence. To beautify the stations, improve the appearance of the rolling stock and motive piwer; in short, to improve the standing of the system, elevates itsemployes and makes better and m re trustworthy men. It is said that a person may degene rate more rapidly in railroad life, by per mitting himself to be isolated from the refining influences, than iu any other busi ness. Such considerate men as the Central’s general manager have found this fact out, and they are seeking to improve the attrac tions of their roads so as to make better men of their employes. THE CENTRAL’S BIG QUARRIES. I visited the Central's immense granite quarry a few miles fro.n here to-day. It is an industry in itself. On a tract of sixty acres of laud numbers of hands are engaged blasting out stone. These great rocks are transferred to a powerful crusher, where they are ground into small particles. These particles are then put on automatic dump cars and sent out over the line. Loading and unloading the cars requires tbe attention of but a couple of men. The road has been ballasted from At lanta over two-thirds of the way to Macon, and the work is being rapidly pushed to ward Savannah. Every particle of dirt is removed from between and underneath the crossties before the graniti is put down. After the stone has been packed down hard the track is made solid, and the ties are prevented from moving or jostling about. The moving of the train over the ballasted portion of the line is a great deal smoother than over the unballasted part, and there is a marked absence of noise and dust. In addition to bullasting between the ties, tho banks are raised and the ballast is put down, shaping the roadbed according to the standard section. All along here a sixty eight and n half pound rati has been put down, and tho outire line from Atlanta to Savannah will have the same rails in a short time. New crossties are being rapidly laid where the ballasting is going on. MORE ENTERPRISE. Another piece of enterprise on the part of the Central is the establishment of an hourly service on the double track from Atlanta to East Point and thence to Hape ville. The double track will be extended shortly from East Point to Hapeville, and the entire run from Atlanta will be made on double track. Regular Coney Island cars are used on the Hapeville trains, and they are lighted by gas. This double track Las been care fully ballasted, aud tho heaviest steel rail put down. No road in Georgia has ever established an hour service before. Tbe demand for the Hapeville train was appar ent to Mr. Gabbe.t soon after he became general manager, and the ser vice has been CTnt success. General Manager Gabbett has ordered a number of waiting room ~ e. 0., erected, and work has begun on a good many of them. Waiting rooms at Gritfin, Milner and Mor row will probably be completed first. The Central has now, it is said, the pret tiest engines an i cars in the stale, and the service is more satisfact ,ry than it has ever been, except, perhaps, on the Columbus and Macon line. It is understood, however, that the service on that part of the road will be improved in a short time. LOVED HIS HALF SISTER. Henry Collins Attempts Suicide When Told of the Relationship. From the Philadelphia Press. Newark, N. J., Aug. 10.—The attempted suicide of Henry Collins, a 19-year-old lad, who lives in Irvington, a pretty suburb of this city, early las; evening created a pro found sensation there, and to-day has de veloped a remarkably romantic story of real life. The Collins homestead, which is one of the oiliest and most familiar landmarks in the village, siatids within a stone’s throw of Rahway river, on West Clinton avenue. The estate is a valuable one, and embraces several hundred acres of land. Fifteen years ago Thomas A. Collins, the father of Henry, died, leaving his family a fortune of $150,- 000. Three years before iiis death he had married a second wife. She was Mrs. Emily Goodwin, a young and attractive Brooklyn widow, who had sustained herself and infant niece, after her husband’s death, by reading proof in the office of the Brooklyn Eagle , upon which her husband had been a reporter. The couple went to live at the Irvington homestead. The next year a son was born to them. They had no~ other children and as his first wife had left him childless Mr. Collins’whole heart was ii this son, who afterward grew to tie a bright and promi-- ing boy. Mrs. Collins’ niece, who was known as Nellie Richardson and was Harry’s senior by two years, was the lat ter’s constant eompanio >, and as the years went by their childish affection ripened into love. Iu July, 1888, Henry, then a youth of 17, acknowledged to his mother that he had won the consent of his cousin Nellie to be come his wife. The lad could not under stand his mother’s consternation at his avowal, and when she advised him in tremulous tones to w ait a little while Henry readily consented and agreed to a proposition to go abroad for a year or two and see the world. T.ie parti .g between Nellie and her sweetheart was a trying one, but.with the assurance that he would return and claim he started. Yesterday, stalwart and browned, Henry landed in New York, and made his way home as rapidly us steam could carry him. At 2 o'clock mother and son vvere loc-eil in each other’s arms, while Miss Richardson stood by and surveyed the pair with stream ing eyes. Half mi hour later, while the young people were seated in front of the house, a servant brought word that Mrs. Collins desired to see her son. He want to her room and was astounded to lind hr prostratein tears upon the In 1. Too mother’s apparent grief for a tune vvus uncontrolla ble, but finally, and while Henry sit upon the bedside with his arm about her waist, she told a story that filled him with horror a id despair. In substance the stricken woman con fessed that she was not a widow when she married Henry's father, that sbo bad iin poeod upon ti.o lattei’s C,ability and love, and that the girl whom he had promised to oia* ry was her own <! ghtcr aud tbe off spn: g of a man who had i etrayed her. When the truth of what he had heard dawned upon him, yoang Collins rushed madly from the room ad out into the fields at the rear of the house and a moment later the report of a pistol was beard by Miis Richardson as she sat upon the ver anda, and with a startles! cry she hurried through the hallway to tne rear door just as Mrs. Collins flew past and darted down the lane leading to the open fields beyond. Tbe agony of ; the heartbroken mother and of the girl who followed can scarcely be conceived, when, upon reaching the old elm in the center of the field adjoining the house, young Henry was found prostrate npon the ground with the blood oozing from an ugly wound above the left temple. Collins was carried into the bouse, and an examination showed that tbe bullet had not gone into the braio, but had passed out off the bead just above tbe point of entrance, and that tbe wound would not prove fatal. Later he was reported as resting comforta bly and out of danger. BATTLES WITH BALL AND BAT. The Results of tbe Day’s Games All Over tbe Country.
