HEMPHILL OUT WITH 818 PAPER.
He Denounce* tbe War Being Waged
on Gordon.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 22.—The Atlanta
Constitution, which, in its war for the
speakership of the House, has managed to
an'agonize nearly every paper of influence
in the state, now presents the novel specta
cle of quarreling with itself. A night or
two ago, in an address before the veterans’
association. Business Manager Hemphill
said he sympathizes with tbe farmers in
everything they bad done except t e fight
they were making on Gov. Gordon. To
this statement of its senior proprietor the
Comtitulion this morning replied in a
long editorial, denying that any fight was
beieg made by the alliance on Gov. Gordon.
HEMPHILL STANDS FIRM.
Mr. Hemphill stood firm, however, while
abandoning his first idea of taking issue
with his paper in a formal card. To an
interviewer this afternoon he thus empha
sized his previous utterances: “I stand by
what I said, and believe that a fight is being
made on Gov. Gordon, and without a just
cause, and I reiterate that a blow at John
B. Gordon is a blow at the sacred cause of
which be is to-day tbe greatest living rep
resentative. To strike at Gov. Gordon is to
strike at every confederate soldier.”
NO FAITH IN THE PAPER.
While agreeing with Mr. Hemphill that
a fight on Gov. Gordon is certainly being
made, a great many people here believe
that tbe Constitution, which inaugurated
the battle, and has fought it to the kuife,
principally with that weapon, is in a capital
position to know just how little the alliance
has, in reality, bad to do with it.
ATLANTA’S RXPOSITION.

scarcely an intermission all dsy lint, cov
ering the streets with mud and depress ng
tbe spirits of Maetnites and visiters alike,
who had looked forward to an auspicious
opening of tne exhibit! *n. The heavy rains
made it practically impossible to carry out
tbe pr gramme prepared for the inaugural
exere.ses, and it *as deoiled by the fair
authorities to postpone tae formal opening
until to-morrow, when nearer siee are
hoped for. In to-morrow’s exercises the
programmes of Geirg a day and Natio: a!
day will be combined, ad in addition to the

Atkinson, Clark Mowed, a.d R. L. B.'svcr.
The fair authorities are by no means dis
couraged by the damper thrown on the
opening day, and propose to overcome that
by making the rest of the programme
highly attractive. Exhibits are pouring
in, the staDies are rapidly filling up with
noted flyers, and the crowd of visitors is
fast increasing to-night despite the steady
rain.

Atlanta .Ga..Oct. 22.—Senator Brown’s

LOVE'S LIVELY CHASE.
A Bashful Suitor Pursues His Adored
One and Gets Her In Time.
Queenstown, Oct. 19.—Just as the
Canard steamship Bervia was on the point
of leaving this afternoon, a romantic inci
dent happened which caused a flutter of
excitement among all the passengers. It
was caused by Miss Kate Walsh, a pretty
telegraph operator in Birmingham, who
had embarked from Liverpool, and Mr.
Feely, who also hails from the same city.
Young Feely has been very attentive to
Min Walsh for a long time, and was quite
disconsolate when she left for Liverpool to
embark. After the steamer sailed to-day
ho made up his mind ho could not live with;
out hor, so he resolved to take the mail
train and went to Holyhead and thence to
Queenstown.
The pursuing lover boarded the Cunardor
and hunted among the passengers till he
found the pretty telegraph operator, whom
he begged to go ashore and marry him.
After much persuasion Miss Walsh con
sented, but she said to her once bashful
lover: “Ah, you should have asked me be
fore. You were almost too late.” They
left the ship amid the congratulations of
the passengers.

A GLADS TONI AN VICTORY.
London, Oct. 22.—The parliamentary
election in the Eccles division of Lancashire
t>-day resulted in a victory for the Glad
stoma ns. Roby, the libe-al candidate, re
ceived 4,901 votes, aud Egestoo, conserva
tive, 4,696. In the preceding election the
liberal candidate received 3,985 and tbe con
servative 4,277.
THE RCCLKS ELECTION.
London, Oct. 23, 3 a. yl—Tbe Sews says
that the result of the Ecclea election will
make the ’demand for dusolution of parlia
ment louder than ever.
The Chronicle says the election was
fought on tbe eight hour, and and not on
tbe Irish question, and that the result is a
great triumph for new unionism.
The Post says that when the real moment
for a national decision is reached, the
doable issue bv which Ecoles was won will
be a very small item in tbe general result.
Tbe 7\mes admits that tbe result was due
to the return of G. ads tomans to their alle
giance, coupled with Roby’s acceptance of
the eight-hour and teetotal vote.
The Standard says: “It is futile to deny
that the result of the election disappoints
the unionist* We regret that, although
the conservatives maintained their ground,
they failed to emulate tbe Gladstoniaus in
securing new votes.”
Mr. Morley, in a letter to the Times, says
tbe oomibg session of parliament will sup
ply ample time for discussions, and that,
therefore, he declines to enter into a news
paper controversy with Sercretary Balfour.
STRIKES OF THE SAILORS.
Tbe Owners of Vessels Contemplating
a General Lockout.
Liverpool. Oct. 22.—The trouble be
tween the ship owners and the employes
here will probably end in a lookout.
A GENERAL LOCKOUT THREATENED.
London, Oct. 23, 3 a. m. —At a meeting
of the Sunderland branch of tbe shipping
federation yesterday it was stated that the
central authority in London was arranging
for a general lockout, should the sailors per
sist in their hostile attitude.
The Shipping Gazette says on this sub
ject: “Should such a desperate remedy be
necessary, the ship owners will have no
difficulty in making out their case. They
can show that their business is being ruined
by the tyranny of the new union.
The more they acknowledge the men’s com
binations the leas strong their grasp on their
own property becomes. The pi ospect of au
immense federation of every trade remotely
connected with shipping has convinced the
shipowners that something must be done
promptly. It is better to have a short,
sharp, decisive struggle now than to make
further surrender to the dictates of men as
unscrupulous as they are tyrannicaL”
THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
The Times confirms the truth of the
statement that inquiries have been started
as to the practicability of a general laying
up of vessels in British ports. It says:
“There is no reason to suggest why this
course should bo adopted as a settled policy.
No decision is possible until further meet
ings like that in Sunderland report.”

francs for his book, “The Invasion of Ger
many,” he says he sacrificed a retiring
pension and an offer of 1,000,000 francs for
a lecture tour in Americ*. He denies that
he applied to the Duchess d’Uzes, or Baron
Mackau for money, but he is vague as to
the origin of his resources. He challenged
his accusers to give an account of how they
secured their riches and to show that they
have made such sacrifices as he has made.

GERMANY SHORT OF CASH.
The Government Unable to Loan
Money for Building.
Berlin, Oct. 22.—The Reichsanzeiger
to-day announces that owing to a lack of
funds the government is obliged to decline
making loans to comraniei so as to enable
them to build dwellings for workmen.
Baron von Berlapsch, tbe Prussian minis
ter of commerce, savs: “While the gov
ernment joyfully welcomes ail efforts in tbe
direction of providing improved
dwellings for workingmen it must,
on principle, decline to assist
building companies from the coffers of tbe
state, especially as it is confident that
there is sufficient capital and public spirit
in Berlin to form companies which will be
content with moderate profits.”
The socialists talk of forming a bureau to
inquire into the circumstances of the work
ingmen. It is said that Herr Bebel will be
the president of the bureau.

The Second Clause of the Frankfort
Treaty Can’t Be Ignored.
Berlin, Oct. 22.—The Hamburg Nach
richten, in an editorial supposed to have
been inspired by Prince Bi marck, points
out the danger of the suggested ignoring of
the second clausa of the Frankfort treaty in
connection with the customs union with
Austria. The article contains this: “What
ever France does, Germany is bound by her
engagements. Her only remedy will be to
cancel or modify the clause, which no Ger
man statesman would dream of doing.”
It concludes thus: “It is imperative to
dictate a policy which will avoid sowiog
the germ of differences with France in
agreements with Aust ia. If a dispute is
once Kindled on account of the treaty of
Frankfort, who can foresee tbe conse
quences ?”
GERMANY AND THE SLAVES.
How the Recent Report From Baga
moyo Originated.
Berlin, Oct. 22.—The Reichsanzeiger to
day published an explanation of the origin
of the recent report that the German ad
ministration at Bagamoyo had issued a de
cree authorizing slavery. It seems that the
Arabs bad sent a petition to the Germans
asking that facilities bo given for the sale of
slaves, on the ground that otherwise they
would be unable to cultivate their devastated
lands. In some way a copy of the petition
became posted as a proclamation and upon
this were based the false accusatio-.s made
against the Germans. The consul at Zanzi
bar, though knowing the persons respon
sible for the charges, declined to disclose
their names.

of the ultra realistic type, and represents
Christ as he is supposed to have looked at

whole appearance is suggestive of the strug

PRETTY STORY.
Wbat a Dude Prince Got for Meddling
in an Affair of Love.
Pros the Cincinnati Enquirer.
New York, Oot. 19. A Dunlap Paris
cable gives the romantic story in connee
i tion wit. the trial and acquittal of Lieut.
Wernert, on the charge of deser-ion. Wer
nert had fought two duels aud had disap
peared. In extenuation he would only say
he bad family reasons which he would not
make public.
THE TRUK INWARDNESS
Of the affair is as follows: In
May last he disappeared, and for t ree
mouths there was no traoe of him. and no
message came from him to indicate his
whereabout*. At the end of that time it
was learned that Wernert was tnen and had
bee i at tbe home of his parents at Schles
stadt, in Alsace. When this discovery was
made the French papers almost unani
mously condemned him as a deserter to
Germany, and went so far as to say that he
had said charts of tbe defenses of Toulon to
the enemy.
His friends were naturally aghast at tbe
charge, since death alone would be the
punishment if be was caught. As soon as
Wernert saw the attacks he made up his
mind not to delay, but to return and face
the music, with what result has already
been told.
THE ROMANCE.
Now comes the love part of tbe story.
Some time ago Wernert loved a beautiful
girl, who returned his affection, and a mar
riage was arranged between them. But the
villain of the drama made his appearance in
tbe usual style. This one was au Italian
prince, and he soon began to pay court to
the lieutenant’s beautiful fiancee. She was
fascinated by the Italian’s manners and
title. Wernert would not give her up with
out a struggle. He warned her of her peril,
and threatened to kill the prince if any
thing happened to the girl.
Upon this the prince sent a challenge to
the young lieutenant, who accepted it The
meeting took place in tne latter’s garden,
and the weapons chosen were swords. After
some passes Wernert
RAN THE PRINCE THROUGH
The body, and he was carried off uncon
scious and died soon afterward. To avenge
the friend’s death one of tbe prince’s sec mas
sent Wernert another challenge, which, too,
was accepted. The scene was the same spot
in tne garden where the former duel had
taken place.
In this encounter, however, Lieut. Wern
ert was slightly wounded, but uis opponent
suffered as seriously as his royal friend, and
like him was carried off the field uncon
scious, and it is believed has since died.
• THESE ARE THE FACTS
That led to the lieutenant’s flight, for on
hearing the tragic result of his action he
became fearful of the consequence and fled
the country. Before the court martial he
refused to throw any light on the matter or
to furnish any proofs of his innocence. He
merely said: “Do with me as you please.”
Luckily for him the real story as abo re
given, was known to the court, and the
trial resulted in his acquittal as told yester
day Tbe girl has entered a convent.
