SHE PURSfES A VILLAIN’-
▲ FINE LOOKING WOMAN AFTER
BIGAMIST AVANT.
She Tells Her Woes at Atlanta and
Claim 6 to be the S.ster of a Travel
ing Ventriloquist Her Brother
Coming to Help Her in Her search
for Revenge.
Atlanta, Ga., May 7.—A fine looking
woman who claims to be the latest conquest
of 8. C. Avant, now or formerly of Macon,
reached here to-day in search of her fugi
tive lover, whom she charges with bigamy.
Avant it the man who played such havoo
with the heart of young Della Adair of
Forrest station, who ran away with that wild
little miss and was afterward arrested in
Birmingham in her company on a telegram
from this city. In that case Avant seems
to have escaped punishment because the de
voted girl declared that she had not been
deceived, but had run away with him with
her eyes open.
The young woman who appeared here to
day bas no such tale to tell, but accuses the
gay Lothario with having grossly imposed
upon her. She states that as Mi* Lizzie
Freddy, in the early part of the spring, she
was traveling with her brother, J. EL Fred
dy, an itinerant ventriloquist and show
man, whan Avant, who under the name of
Yellowstone had beco re her brother's
a-sistant. made her an offer of marriage.
Bbe accepted ad, as she avers, they were
lawfully wedded in Memphis March 10.
TOLD HER OK HIS ESCAPADE.
Some time after her brother left them,
and during his absence Avant told her of
the trouble his escapade with Della Adair
had given him. She asked why he had not
married the girl, to which he very coolly
responded that he already had a wife and
children in Macon. In a letter she reoited
this conversation to her brother, who re
turned posthaste, but only to find his sister's
deceiver gone. Miss Freddy, or Mrs. Avant,
who tells this story, is an entire stranger
here,
UNDERWOOD CONVICTED.
Be Will Have to Hang Unless He
Bec\irea a New Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., May 7.—Elisha Under
wood, the railroad fireman who killed a
brother firem.in, Alex. H. Sayre, in this
city a few weeks ago, was to-day found
guilty of murder and will hang unless he
can get the new trial for which he asks.
Underwood boarded with Sayre’s family,
and they had long been fast
friends, but one morning they
came in under the influence
of liquor and began quarreling in the house.
Sayre went into the dining room and sat
down to breakfast. While he ate Under
wood appeared at the door, in which
Sayre’s brotber-in-law was standing, and
shot his former friend over his brother-in
law’s shoulder. Savre's wound was mortal,
but as be turned and fled he received a sec
ond bullet in the back.
WHISKY THE CAUSE.
Whisky appears to have been the sole
cause of the trouble, though Underwood
claimed that he attempted to protect the
brotber-in-law from Sayre, that Sayre
thereupon turned upon him with a knife
and that he was thus forced to shoot him
down. Ti.e trial, which lasted several
days, bas attracted a great deal of attention
locally, the court room being packed
with spectators almost all the
time. This is the third 'murderer
convicted here within the past
six months who failed to obtain a recom
mendation to mercy, prior to that period
for about fifiteen years. No criminal found
fuilty of a capital offense in Fulton county
as bad reason to expect a sentence ynore
severe tuan lifetime imprisonment

COT ION SEED OIL MILLS.
They Now Number 194 With a Capi
tal of Over $20,000,000.
Baltimore, Md„ May 7.—The Manu
facturer's Record of this week publishes a
list of every cotton seed oil mill in the
south, giving tbe name, location and capac
ity of each. This report shows that there
are now 104 mills with a capital of over
$20,000,0u0 against forty mills with a capi
tal of $3,500,000 in 1880. Forty of these
mills have established fertilizer factories in
connection with their oil business, using
ootton seed meal, us the basis for manufact
uring fertilizers.
RAPID strides.
Reviewing th s industry, the Manufact
urers' Record savs: “It was but a few
yeais ago when cotton seed was an In
cumbrance and when the farmers had to
dump it wnerever they had a. waste
place. It is true that to* some extent its
value as a fertilizer was recognized, and
here and there it was used for that
purpose, but it counted nothing in
adding to the wealth of the south
or to the prosperity of the south
ern farmer. Tbe increase in the mills
has been greater in size and quality than in
number. Many of the oil mills that were
badly constructed and fitted with an
tiquated machinery have been abandoned,
a..d the bust ess concentrated in newer and
more thoroughly equipped mills. The cot
ton oil trust has pu-eu and this policy and has
ceased to operate a number of mills that it
purchased ”

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1891.
SES ION OF THE DOCTORS.
The New Officers—The Journal—Phy
sicians and the Cabinet.
Washington, May 7. — The first business
: before the medical association this morning
was the report of the board of trustees of
the Journal. By general wish, the report
! save, tbe publication office was continued
in Chicago. No editor has been appointed,
as the Chicago representative on the board
had thoroughly done the work. As the
general fund now on hard was $4,503, it
was hoped that a permanent home for the
Journal and library could soon be estab
lished. The report was unanimously
adopted.
THE NEW OFFICERS.
The committee on nominations then
recommended the appointment of tb* fol
lowing officers, and they were chosen:
President, Dr. H. O. Marcy of Boston; first
vice president, Dr. Willis P. King of Mis
souri: second vice president, Dr. Henry
Palmer of Wisconsin; third vioe president,
Dr. W. E. B. Davis of Alabama; fourth
vice president. Dr. W. E. Taylor of Cali
fornia: treasurer, Dr. Richard J. Dunglison
of Pennsylvania; secretary. Dr. William
H. Atkinson of Pennsylvania; librarian, Dr.
George W. Webster of Illinois.
TO MEET AT DETROIT NEXT.
The recommendation of tbe committee
that Hot Springs, Ark., be the place for tbs
next annual meeting ar used much opposi
tion, and Detroit was finally selected by a
vote of 143 to 105, and the time of meeting
was fixed for Tuesday. June I.
A MEDICAL CABINET OFFICER.
The council appointed to petition con
gress to create a cabinet officer to be called
the medical secretary of public health re
ported that tbe time had come for an au
thoritative and responsible representative
in the government, on behalf of the medi
cal profession. The state medicine, public
health and general hygiene, manage
ment of epidemics, regulation of the
laws of medical education, restriction of
immigration, and the correction of such
evils as misoegenation, all were active
factors in the government, and as such need
a cabinet representative, most fitly chosen
from the medical profession. The govern
ment had done a good work by its army,
navy and marine boards, but more could be
done, only by this means, however. Just
such a cjurss was being followed by tbe
British Medical Association.
MAY’S COLD SNAP.
The Temperature Will Now 81owly
Return to Normal.
Washington, May 7.— The signal office
furnishes the following special weather
bulletin to the press: “The cold weather
prevailing over the country for the past
three or four days has been of unusual
severity, extent and duration, and has beeu
accompanied in some sections by lower
temperatures for this season and later frost
than ever previously recorded by the signal
service. For the past two days the tem
perature over the greater portion
of the oountry east of the Mis
sissippi and Missouri rivers and
the southwest has been from 10°
to 20” below normal. Severe frosts have
occurred throughout the Lake region, Ohio,
Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys, and
are reported this morning as far south as
North Carolina anil South Tennessee, which
is later than thero is any previous record of
in those states. Minimum temperatures
of 34- and 38”, respectively, were
reported this morning from ” Lynch
burg and Raleigh, which Is the
lowest on record for these stations,
from the first decade of May by 1° and 3®.
No severe frost has been reported by the
observer of this service from the New
England or Middle Atlautic states. This Is
due probably to the cloudiness which has
prevailed over these districts. The temper
ature will probably rise slowly over the
whole country, and severe frosts are not
likely to again occur.”
VIRGINIA’S DEBT.
No Session Held Yet By the Comtnle
alon Appointed Last Year.
Richmond, Va., May 7.— While the Vir
ginia state debt commission, appointed by
the legislature in 1890 with a view of the
settlement of the state with the foreign
bondholders, has never held a session. Gov.
McKinney, who heads the commission, has
recently reejived a communication from the
Olcott committee, of New York, asking
him to convene the same with a view of
having a conference. The governor, who
is absent in Norfolk, has replied
to .the committee stating in substance
that as soon as the provisions of the act
under which the Virginia commission is to
treat shall have been complied with, one of
which is that the bondholders or representa
tives shall deposit bonds to the amount of
$1,000,000 as an index of good faith, the
Virginia committee stands ready to confer.
Further correspondence is looked for from
the New York committee. Should the two
commissions meet in the near future and
agree upon o plan of settlement of the state
debt their action will have to be ratified by
the legislature in extra or regular session.

Jackson, Miss., May 7.— The president
of the Mississippi Confederate Monument
Association has received the following let
ter from Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
dated New York city, in ref
erence to the unveiling of
the monument in this ettff
in June: “When the proposal
was made to erect this monume it
we feared years must elapse before it could
be placed in position and finished, but the
devotion and energy of the ladies, who un

passed away since its inception
and whom you have honored with a con
spicuous place upou the iiedeetal had an iu
tense interest in seeing the completion of
your noble work. To see his statue there
honored by the peoplo who confided so much
in him, who knew and therefore loved him
best, will be the greatest gratification to his
daughter and myself.”

A GOAL TIPPLE BURNED.
The Coke Strikers Suspected of
Firing It.
Pittsburg, Pa., May 7.— The monotony
was rat her broken to-day by tbe burning
of • coal tipple at tbe Mutual plant of the
Frick Company, which crippled it* opera
tions somewhat. Tbe Mutual was one of
the first plants to resume, and tbe company
officials charge the strikers with setting fire
to the plant. The guards, who had been
withdrawn a week ago, will again be placed
on duty.
The evictions to-day were u eventful, the
families rather taking their gruel as a mat
ter of course, and after pulling a few wry
faces at the deputies made themselves as
comfortable as possible on the highways,
pending the arrival of tents, though the-e
latter prove a poor shield to the biting
frosts.
sensational stories.
Tbe sensational stor es of the strikers that
the new men at Morewood, who had re
fused to go to work, were twin : imprisoned
and guarded, are denied by the officials of
the company, and no verification can be
found. Another report that the men in
the mines were obliged to sleep, eat and
work there without once seeing the day
light, lacks confirmation and is laughed
at by the officials. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the foreigners are closely watched
to prevent them mixing with the strikers.
Many are in ignorance that a big strike is
in progress,and would certainly quit work
if given free communication with the out
siders. That this access is denied tkem, no
doubt gave rise to the many stories of im
prisonment.
The I.b.ir officials are distributing relief
money, but great suffering is reported in
Isolated cases, and there is a sad lack of
system in the strikers’ camps. The influx
of foreign laborers continues and every
arrival is tenderly cared for by the company
guards.
FRICK’S PROPHECY.
The latest advices from throughout the
coke region go rather to verify tne words
uttered by Mr. Frick, the ooke king, when
the operators first determined to run their
woiks. with or without the union men:
“Gentlemen, we must start our plants, and
we will.” Foreigners, principally Italians. >
are arriving in the region at the rate of seven
to ten carloads per day and are distributed
throughout the Frick plants, that compiny
having been tbe first and most determined
to break the strike. It is estimated to-uigbt
that there are nearly 4,000 men working in
the different plants, including those at the
VV. J. Rainey oven*. Mr. Rainey, though
paying the old waces has never recognized
tbe organization, but has never been mo
lested by the strikers. Of the 4,000 men at
work very few are old strikers, tbe bulk
being Imported men, and it is thought the
strike cannot be held mueh longer against
tbe influx.
SHIPMENTS INCREASING.
Both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio railroads report their shipment*
of coke from this region dally increasing,
though nothing approaching their old time
trade. The men are now on their thirteenth
week of the strike, and coke shipments are
at the rate of about 1,000 cars per week,
one-eighth of the shipments when the region
is running full. For some reason the oper
ators are not attempting to fire any new
plants, desiring first, apparently, to have
those at present in operation fully mauned
before lighting the fires at tbe others. By
some well informed people it is
said the operators were not at all
adverse to entering the strike, though
they are certamly making strenuous
efforts to extricate themselves now.
Anticipating a strike of but a few weeks
duration all the mills in this city loaded up
with coke, but sre now sadly harassed,
even the great Edgar Thompson, which
Carnegie and Frisk had piled to the skies
with coke, being obliged to lay off 1,000
men on acoount of the scarcity of the article.
MAY FORCE OUT 14,000 MEN.
The operators say they themselves were
unwilling to use the last, and, as it now
seems, tbe most deadly weapon against the
strikers—labor importation—but that once
begun, they will carry it through, and, un
less they return to work, it looks as if the
14,000 men still idle in the coke region
will be forced from their work, homes
and even the region. The men, however,
are fighting gamely and say they will yet
win. That the operators have not every
thing their own way is shown by daily
strikes at many works where the leaders
have succeede i in inducing the men to quit,
in every case either taking care of tbam out
of the relief fund oi paying their fare to
other coke or coal disti icts.
THE AGGREGATE LOSS.
The aggregate lorn of the strike has been
estimated between $2,500,000 and $3,000,009,
and may be much higher. Whichever side
wins, and that event cannot now be much
longer delayed, this strike will go down in
history as one of the most stubbornly con
tested and disastrous known in this section,
in addition to the losses of property and life,
the scenes of riot and bloodshed that mav
be repeated any day before the ugly chap
ter closes.
FROST IN KENTUCKY.
Tbe Nip of Wednesday Night Worse
Thau 3 hat of Tuesday.
Louisville, Ky., May 7.— Reports from
points throughout the contrai and north
ern part of Kentuoky show that last
night’s frost was much more de
structive than Tuesday night’s. Grapes,
peaches and apples have been much dam
aged, and early garden truck, wheat and
corn have been somewhat hurt. The exten
sive peach orchards on both sides of the
river just above this city escaped injury.
A Tobacco Warehouse Burned.
Cincinnati, 0., May 7.—The tobacco
warehouse of F. W. Dorhman & Bon, in
Covington. Ky., near Suspension bridge,
was completely burned this morning. Ihe

surance is $16,000.
