SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN KID
NAPED AT ATLANTA.
Carried Frc m a Train Into a Hotel at
Wtaltesburar and Left With Her
Mother by Two Unknown Men—She
Claims to Know Nothing Ooncernlnsr
Her Journey.
Carrollton. Ga., March 20.—News of
aa exceedingly sensational and mysterious
affair reached here from Whitesburg this
morning. The parties to the affair are poor
bat respectable, and its great mystery Las
caused much sensation at Whitesburg. The
affair was kept secret at first, but it has
leaked out at last. Last Friday' night about
10 o’clock when the Bull train, which runs
betweeu Cedartowu and Griffin, reached
Whitesburg two unknown men lifted a
woman off the train und carried her into
the Harris house. They called for Mrs.
Bentley, a poor bat highly respected
woman who lives at the hotel, and the
woman put off by the men proved
to be her daughter. The latter
was nearly wild, bhe had on no shoes nor
wrap, and her riding habit was badly dis
arranged. Her appearance caused a tig
sensation and consternation at the hotel,
which is kept by Mrs. M. F. Harris and her
daughters. The woman’s name is Mrs. Ida
Mitobell and she has been living in At
lanta for some months, acting as house
keeper for some hotel. As already stated,
•be was wild when she was carried into her
mother’s room and Dr. J. B. Camp, a
prominent physician of the town, was im
mediately summoned. A thorough ex
amination was made and l)r. Camp pro
nounced the woman under the influence of
■ome narcotic.
A BOTTLE OF LAUDANUM.
Her mother examined a small hand
sachel that was fastened on the woman’s
arm when she was brought Into the hotel
and found a bottle of laudanum about one
balf full. Mrs. Mitchell knew no one. She
is the mother of a girl 5 years old. The
child was cot with her and she could tell
nothing of the child or where she camo
from. The doctor worked ou her the re
mainder of the night, and Saturday morn
ing she had recovered enough to give out
some information, and her tale shows that
a heinous crime had been committed, nut
by whom is a mystery. She says
She left her work last Wednesday
In Atlanta and went to visit her sister-in
law, who lives at No. 21 Tattnall street,
and after her arrival a: her sister-in-law's
she has no recollection of anything that
transpired till Saturday morning at 10
o’clock, when she found herself in her
mother’s room at the Harris house in
TVbitesburg. She says she has a faint recol
lection of being somewhere and hearing a
tram blow, and somebody took hold of her
arm violently and told her that her train
was ooming and for her to get on. Hhealso
says she can remember that someone
gave her a bottle and told
her to drink of it, orsha would die. Bhe
says she don’t know how, nor when sflo left
bar sUter-iu-law’s home in Atlanta, nor
when or where she took the tram for
■Whitesburg. Bbe would have been com
pelled to have changed cars to come to
TVhitexburg. If she went on the Central
she would Lave changed care at Griffin. If
•he went via the Atlanta and West I’oint
road ebe would have changed cars at New
est!. The Morning News correspondent
has made every offort to see the conductor
on the train which brought Mrs. Mitchell
to VVhiteeburg but has failed.
MRS. MITCHELL’S HISTORY.
Mrs. Mitchell has been married twice, the
first time to a man with four children, who
afterward proved to have another wife that
he was never divorced from, and sbe quit
him and has been earning her livelihood a3
a housekeeper at some hotel in Atlanta.
He- aecond husband was named Ivey. Mrs.
Mitchell Is only 25 years old and is
beaatiful. Bee lived at Banning,
Bear Whites-urg, for several years,
and was of good character, and
bad maov friends and associates. She
visited her mother at Whitesburg in Jan
uary. She says Bhe did not iateud to come
to Whitesburg at this time and can't toll
why, nor how she came. Her little daughter
Maud bas been iivtug with ber and the last
seen of tbe child was when the mother was
at tbe home of her sister-in-law on Tattnall
street. It is thought that Mrs. Mitchell
was drugged by someone and the chiid kid
naped. It |.s said that her husband’s peo
ple have been wanting the child. The whole
affair is a mystery. Miss Ellen
Bentley, sister of Mrs. Mitchell, eft
Baturday for Atlanta to search for the
child and ascertain the cause of Mrs. Mi’ch
eii’s being drugged. A telegram has been
received from Miss Bentley, stating tbat
■he had found the child and requesting
Mrs. Mitobell to come to Atlanta at once.
Who the two men were who carried Mrs.
Mitchell to the hotel Is a mystery. It may
be that they were the parties who brought
her from Atlanta, and their names and
what they might know would clear up the
whole mystery. Mrs. Mitchell must have
bad compauy all the way Trom Atlanta to
Whitesburg, or she could not have made the
trip.

CENTRAL’S ENGINEERS.
1 Supt. Wadley Not in Macon for a Cans
ference.
Macon, Ga., March 20.—Supt. Wadley
j of the Centra! railroad, who Is here to-day,
laughs at tbe idea that ho is here for a con
ference with the committee of the engineers,
i Receiver Comer was hero yesterday and
i dined with Supt. W adley and left the city
immediately. If the Central management
is concerning Itself about the position occu
pied by the engineers there is noth
ing in the manner or conversation of these
officials to indicate that such is the fact.
When seen this morning Supt. Wadley was
at the machine shops making a general in
spection of the plaoe.
“X haven’t anything to savor do,” said he,
‘‘that I haven't said or done already. I
really didn’t know until to-day that the
committee of the engineers was here. Ido
not think they are paying the brotherhood
men on the Central several hundred dollars
a month just to be loafing about. If they
strike, of which I know nothing whatever,
1 think it will be foolish and absurd, though
of course they may not look at it that way.
In the event that they do I will be fully
prepared to meet it.”
“Suppose Judge Speer should order En
gineer Arden's reinstatement.”
“I don’t want to suppose anything about
it, but I’ll put it to you this way: If vou
were runui.ig a business and should tell one
of your employes to do a thing and he re
fused, what would you do? Why, you’d
get somebody who would."
“ What, was ihe purpose of Mr. Comer’s
visit ?'
“I don’t know,” was the reply. *‘l saw
him in Savannah Saturday morning and
next met him at Macon. He dined with me
yesterday. I suppose he was here on regu
lar business. W'e are just going along as
though nothing badever happened.”
Judge Speer, when asked whether the en
gin ers had been before him, replied that he
had nothing to say.
The commilteo’s attorney, R, W. Patter
son, declared that there was nothing new in
the status of the case. The meu have not

SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Senator Hale Calls Attention to
Errors in the Naval Bill.
Washington, March 20.—The third week
of the extraordinary session of the Senate
opened with a large attendance of senators
and spectators.
The first action taken was to fix the next
day Of meeting for Wednesday.
Then came the presentation of the cre
dentials of Senator Allen, appointed by the
governor of the state of Washington. They
were read ancf laid on tbe table.
Senator McPherson offered a resolution,
which was referred to the committee on
education and labor, directing the commis
sioner of labor to make a report at the
opening of the Fifty-third congress, com
prehending the facta as to the total cost in
producing various iron and steel product*,
such as bar iron, steel rails, etc., and of
leading articles of the textile industry and
of other articlia, the cost of which may be
approximately obtained.
Mr. Butler offered a resolution, which
was referred to the committee on rules, to
amend the rules by referring to the com
mittee on appropriations appropriation
bills for legislative, executive and judioial
expenses, sundry civil expenses, penaiona
and deficiencies, and to the committee on
military affairs, naval affairs, foreign re
lations and agriculture the bills relating to
those departments, and tbe fortifications
bill to the committee on coast defenses.
Mr. Call offered a resolution, which went
over without action, increasing to fifteen
senators each the committees on naval
affairs, military affairs, judiciary, foreign
relations, appropriations, commerce and
interstate commerce.
Tbe resolution which was introduced by
Mr Cockrell for tbe reprint of the Indian
appropriation bill, and which was finally
agreed to. led to a pretty long discussion of
numerous errors that have been discovered
in the enrollment of the appropriation bills.
Mr. Haile said that he bad found more
than eight errors in the naval appropriation
bills. They were mainly errors m punotua
tion arid spelling, but some of them were
important. The subject was discussed for
an hour, the senators concurring in testify
ing to the accuraoy of the Senate enrolling
clerks and laying the blame for the errors
upon the House clerks.
When this discussion closed, the Senate
on motion of Mr. Vest, proceeded to execu
tive business, and at I:2d o’clock adjourned
till Wednesday at noon.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
In an executive session lasting a little
more than an hour and a half this after
noon, the Senate disposed of a great deal of
the work that has accumulated pending tbe
reorganization of the committees. All of
the earlier batch of nominations were con
firmed except here and there a postmaster,
and the nominations of ex-Senators Eustis
and Hampton made to-day, were con
firmed without the formality of reference to
tbe appropriate committees. When the re
ports of the various committees were made,
ull of them favorable, there was not a word
of dissent, and the utmost harmony pre
vailed, so far as any word of opposition
was concerned at least. Tho nominations
were confirmed in tho ordinary way with
out a vote, thei e being no objection offered.
TIIE REORGANIZATION TILT.
During the session there was a short dis
cussion relating to the proposed reorganiza
tion of the elective officers of the Senate,
the republicans taking occasion to let the
democrats know the determination of their
caucus. lu a casual way, tbe republican
leaders referred to the precedent*and stated
that there was no authority for the reor
ganization of the Senate at an extraordinary
session, and they warned the democrats
with due regard to parliamentary courtesy
that they wouid not sit idly by and sea the
work cf reorganization prosecuted without
attempting to frustrate il The matter was
held in abeyance, however, pending the
acioc of the caucus of democrats, wnich is
to be held to-morrow morning.
DISCUSSION DELAYED.
It is understood that nothing bearing upon
the proposed reorganization will be dis
cussed in open session until after another
executive session shall have bean held.
Tfci* will probably be Wednesday of this
week, for by that time the action of the
democratic caucus will be known. At that
executive session the republicans will pin
fold to their opponents the oourse they in
tend to pursue and if tbe democrats then see
fit to undertake the leak of reorganizing
the elective officers, the contest will be trans
ferred to the open session. It is understood
that certaiu prominent democrats have said
that rattier than remain here and engage in
any unseemly squabble they would be in
favor of permitting the present organiza
tion to remain until congress meets in regu
lar session. If there is to be a struggle
over this matter it will, no doubt, be pre
cipitated before the end of this week.

HAD TO BE EXECUTED.
An Elephant That Never Was Sub
dued By Man.
Prom the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Peru, Ind., Maroh 16. — Tube, the vicious
elephant belonging to the Wallace circus,
was executed at the winter quarters near
Peril this afternoon. This ends the career
of the must formidable brute ever brought
to this country. Tobe was a monster in
size, weighing nearly 8,000 pounds, and
thoroughly bad— a rogue in every sense.
Tbe animal has been owned by several
different shows, Mr. Wallace purchasing
him in Topeka, Kan., last summer, intend
ing to put him in a pa< k in case the trainers
succeeded in thoroughly subduing him,
which it was ibought could be done. This
did not pro'e to be the case, however, as
two keepers in succession ignominiously
failed to’ conquer the ugly pachyderm and
it fell to the lot of the third man employed
to execute him, after having used every
known means to break bis indomitable
spirit.
It was decided last week to make a Anal
effort to bring Tobe to terms, and if tbe at
tempt did not succeed to kill him without
further ado, as be was a constant menace
to hu keepers and tbe publio.
Early this morning tbe superintendent of
the menagerie began work
ON ms DANGEROUS CHAROE,
and with his assistance succeeded in chains
mg Tobe’s four legs in as many different
directions with cable chains attached to
pulleys, which were promptly drawn tight,
and the punishment then commenced. This
consisted of sticking him in the trunk and
around tbe head and ears with pitchforks
and spears, and though severe and in most
coses effective, Tobe stood like the old war
rior that he was, and fought as ha and a fight
as elephant ever did, not a groan or ory es
caping him to betray the pain he "was
suffering. He would not give up. His
truinpettings of rage were something terri
ble to hear, and every lunge he made on his
chains sent bis assailants flying toward the
door. An hour or so of this and
the attack ceased to give the men
a rest, but not a whit cowed, the
vast brute stood, enraged, watchful aid
defiant as ever; bruised, bleeding and sore,
but a hero every inch, if he was a bad one.
It was evident that the only thing to do
was
TO KILL THE BIG FELLOW.
As the show goes out in a short time, and
Tobe bad to be settled, Mr. Wallace, after a
brief consultation with Patsy Forepaugh
(superintendent), decided that he be killed as
painlessly as possible. but at once, and this
sealed Tobe’s fate.
Two big sots of harness made from heavy
rope were hastily rigged up and fitted snugly
to Diamond and Prince, Tobe a ancient ene
mies, with whom be has fought so much
this winter. A slip-knot noose wag with dif
ficulty passed over the victim’s head and
around his neck, tbe ends being fastened to
double blocks, which were attached to the
harness on Diamond and Prince, and when
everything was ready the two executioners
were started in opposite directions by jab
bing them with elephant spears. The ropes
creaked and drew tight the deadly coil
around Tobe’s neck, and with one desperate
lunge forward and one single half-choked
scream the huge terror fell prone to the
floor and died with scarcely a struggle. As
nearly as could be judged he was uncon
scious in thirty seconds, and at tbe end of
five minutes and twenty-eight seconds hts
pulse ceased, and the victor of a hundred
fights and a brute unconquered by man in
bis lifetime was dead.
Tobe was what is known as a “rogue"
elephant. In their native state they do not
stay with their herd, but are driven away
from it, and take to the jungle by them
selves, and wage war on everything and
everybody, and are as much dreaded as the
lurking tiger by the natives.
The animal was a beautiful one, perfect,
and had tusks full three and one-half inches
In diameter at the ends, which were sawed
square.
Mr. Wallace regretted very much the in
ability of any one to handle him. and con
sidered public safety demanded that he be
killed when all efforts to subdue him had
faiied.
The skeleton mounted will be exhibited
at the world’s fair, and afterward placed in
the National museum et Washington.
Stories of Brignoll.
AVhen James Morrissey was manager of the
Emma Abbott Opera Company he made over
lures to Brignoll, going to the Everett house to
see him about the engagement, says the New
York Tribune. He was odo of the hardest men
in the world to make a contract with. He would
insist on talking so muoh and objectingso much
that the manager could no: say a word. Mor
rissey let him talk for fifteen minutes, then ex
pos! ulated.
"My dear Brig." he said, “we never can un
derstand each other if you will not listen to
what I have to say. We cannot come to terms
unless you hear me.”
Brignoli then launched into another long
series of objections.
".My dear Brig," expostulated Morrissey
again, "when are you going to let me talk? Ho
ahead and finish what you have to say, and
then give me a chance. ”
So matters drifted along for the entire after
noon. and they were no nearer an agreement
than when they began. Finally Morrissey sai i;
"Brig, i’ll give you fifteen minutes more,
then i want to have five minutes to myself. We
cannot do anything this way. I will not inter
rupt you, and you must promise not to inter
rupt me Is It a trade?”
Brignoll at last eminent-*6 to give Morrissey a
chance—"but only three minutes; five minutes
are too many.”
Th6y took out their watches, and Brignoli
talked on for his full time. Then Morrissey
stopped him.
“Now. remember your agreement, Brig,” he
said. “Vou must not interrupt me.”
Tbe tenor walked the floor fast aud furiously
as Morrissey talked, never hearing a word that
was said, he was so vexed a', being kept silent.
A dozen times he attempted to interrupt, but
Morrissey called his attention to tbe agreement,
and he was forced to desist. Two minutes of
Morrissey’s time were wasted in checking his
interruptions, but in the one that remained the
manager succeeded in bringing Brtgnoh to
terms.
Brignoli wag so careful of his voice when he
had to ting that he Wool. not wpeak at all, and
was In the habit of writing his wishes on a piece
of paper. During the last thirty years of his
life he lived at the fverett house when noton
the road. It took him at least thre‘-quarters
of an hour to go from his room to the sidewalk.
He must get used to the changes very gradually.
Leaving the room, he would pace up end down
the hall for ten or fifteen minutes, until thor
oughly “acclimatize 1, ’ as he himself would say,
ana from th -re would go to the lobby to ex
perience for twenty minutes a lower degree of
temperature. At the end of half an hour he
usually reached the vestibule, where lie would
pass another quarter, opening the outer door
occasionally to get a taste of the fresh air.
When thoroughly acclimatized here, he but
toned bis greatcoat close about him and stopped
out on the pavement.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT.
That very few- persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need and
to fit them properly with glasses Those who
trust this work to uninstructed dealers are
criminals careless of the most valuable of all
the seusee, tneir sight. In addition to gradu
ating in Germany and mv thirty years’ practical
experience I have taken a course and gradu
ated in a school of optics in New York and
learned the latest and Pest methods of ascer
taining the different delects of the eyes and
their proper correction, so that I can fit you
properly with glasses that will strengthen and
improve your eyesight instead of rapidly ruin
ing it, as poorly fitted glasses will always do.
No charge for examination.
