2 FAINTED FOR WANT OF FOOD A Harrowing State of Affairs Among Atlanta’s Working Classes. tfwenty Men Out of a Squad of Twenty five Put to Work on a Street Paving: Job Unable to Hold Out Owing: to Weakness Brought on By Lack of Proper Nourishment. Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 23.—A harrowing of affairs among the working classes of the city came to light to-day, in which the good citizens in the neighborhood of Oourtland avenue and Government bouse were treated to the pitiable spectacle of strong, able-bodied men actually sinking down in the street at their work from weakness and exhaustion brought on by hunger. Messrs. Venable Bros., paving con tractors. had started upon a piece of work in that part of the city. Their force of hands had been idle for quite a time, owing to the practical abandonment Of street paving, and the men, it is now disclosed, have been actually suffering hunger for want of work. Seeing their condition, the Venables put them to work on the little job referred to. Twenty-live men were employed. They were all able bodied laborers, who had been in the regular employment of the Venable firm. Everything started off well enough. About 10 o'clock ten men dropped off from sheer exhaustion. They were in a most sorrowful plight. Several Others fell by theroadside between noon and 3 o’clock and at 4 o'clock only five of the entire squad of twenty-five re mained at their posts able to continue work. “1 have never seen such a thing before,” said Mr. Venable‘ and as soon as my overseer reported the distressing oc currence to me, 1 immediately dis patched him with food for the suffering men. I suppose they will be all right in a day or two. These men are good industrious laborers, but they had been idle so long owing to their inability to get work that they have had to suffer denial*. I doubt whether some of them have had an aver age of a good square meal a day in weeks. This condition of thirgs simply left them ar> weak that they could not do a day's work when it came to them.” Atlanta has been crowded with unem ployed workmen for months until the sit uation is becoming serious. CHARGED WITH LARCENY. The Calender Clerk of the Last Legis lature in Trouble. Atlanta, Ga., .Tan. 23.—5. B. Corn, cal endar clerk in the legislature for a num ber of years, was arrested here to-day upon a warrant charging him with lar ceny, sworn out by his former employer, W. G. Brown, manager of a large dental supply depot. Corn, who is a handsome young fellow, came to Atlanta from Hia watha, When the legislature closed he obtained employment at Brown's dental depot. He had a taste for society, which helped to cause his present trouble. For a long time Dr. Brown has been missing goods. Detectives were put upon the case, and found that Corn had sold about SSOO worth of teeth, gold fillings, etc,, to various dentists throughout the City for half the wholesale value. This explained the losses, and Corn's arrest to-day was the result. He left Dr. Brown's employ some time ago, and has recently been em ployed by the S. S. White Dental Com pany, at whose ware rooms he was ar rested. Corn was released this afternoon on SI,OOO bond, signed by H. 11. Cabaniss, assistant secretary of the Senate, and business manager of Evening Journal. ATLANTA'S EXPOSITION. The Movement for the Woman's Building and Exhibit. Atlanta, Ga , Jan. 28.—'The five ladles appointed by the directors of the cotton states and international exposition to be held in Atlanta In the fall of 1895, have inaugurated the movement for the woman’s building and exhibit. The board is composed of the following ladies: Mrs. Loulie M. Gordon, Mrs. S. M. Inman and Mrs. Robert S. Barrett, of Atlanta, aud Mrs. Dr. W. H. Felton and Mrs. W. C. Iginier. The board organized by electing Mrs. Ixmlie M. Gordon as chairman, and Mrs. S. M. Inman, secretary’. The first duty of this board will be the selection of a directory of twenty ladies, who with the board will form a commit tee of twenty-five, to have full charge of the woman’s department of the cotton states and international exposition. Representative ladies from different sections of the country, and also from Mexico, Cuba and the Central and South American republics, will be chosen to co operate with the board of management. Committees were appointed at to-day's meeting to proceed at once on this line. The name of the full directory will be an nounced at a meeting to be held two weeks hence. HILL’S NOTES PAID. The Case Reported Taken From the Courts by This Means. Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 23.—A rejiort. com ing from a reliable source, is in circula tion here to-day that all the famous Harry Hill notes which bore the alleged forged indorsement of Mrs. J. H. Porter have been paid, or will be paid to-morrow, in order to squelch the prosecution in this way since public opinion has put the screws down so tight on the machinery of Jusice that Hill can no longer escape the courtroom unless the notes are paid L J. Hill, president of the defunct Gate City Bank, a relative of Harry Hill, is said to be the party furnishing the money to pay off the notes, but it it is generally believed that the money really comes from another source. J. H. Porter is the prosecutor in the forgery indictments, if the notes are paid the holders have no case, and further prosecution rests with the prosecutors on the indictments. Hill's lawyer says he is on his way to Atlanta, and will be here to answer in court to-morrow. SOVEREIGN’S PETITION. The Application for an Injunction Sent to Senator Allen. Des Moines. la., Jan. 23.—The petition of General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor asking an injunc tion restraining Secretary Carlisle from issuing bonds, was forwarded to Senator Allen at Washington to-night. Judge Cole declined to make the petition public. Mr. Sovereign has written General Sec retary-Treasurer Hays, of Philadelphia to meet Senator Allen in Washington and engage such additional counsel as the senator may desire. The Age of Reform.

A BATTLE WITH A DESPERADO. Citizens of Bryan County Arrest Henry Baker After a Fusilade. Pembroke, Ga., Jan. 22.—Henry Baker, a desperate negro, of Belknap, Ga,, who has long defied the officers of Bryan county, was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff W. E. Canady, of Pembroke, as sisted by Shereff P. J. Thompson and a c ouple of citizens. The negro is a notori ous thief, gambler and robber. He has threatened the lives of'several white men and once attempted to shoot Glenn Har vey, of Belknap. He walked in defiance of all the citizens of Belknap, carrying pistols and a Winchester rifle, which he I took by force from another nepi-o. | Negroes around Belknap were afraid to come outside of their houses at night for fear of being robbed by him. He has cut and shot several men. who were mostly negroes. East night the few men from Pembroke who had planned to arrest him went up on the late, train and walked out from Belknap to where he lived. Baker was finally located in his f>w n house, though other negroes lived all around, and he refused to come out or open the door. The front door was knocked open, and immediately Baker poured a volley of Winchester balls into the midst of t lie men. who stood firm and returned the fire with pistols. Only four shots were tired at Baker, but one took effect in his arm, ranging around his shoulder, which caused him to stop shooting, and then Mr. Canady walked in and tied him. He cursed viciously af ter being arrested and taken to Belknap. The sheriff carried him to the Bryan county jail this morning, where he will await the spring term of the superior court. There are several warrants sworn out for Baker, but he was committed only under a charge of shooting at the officers. It was a narrow escape for the men who arrested him, one of whom was badly hurt by splinters shattered from the door facing, and Deputy Sheriff Canady was burnt in the face with powder. Baker had the advantage, as the moon was shinin. TRIAL OF DR. HINKLE. Three Witneeees Testify for the Pros ecution. Americus, Ga., Jan. 23.—The Hinkle Jury was completed soon after 9 o’clock this morning. The first witness for the state was Prof. Cox. of Shellman, who clearly and intelligently told of the insult offered Dr. Worsham on Friday, Dec. 16. five days be fore the killing by the Drs. Hinkle. As Dr. Worsham was passing their office, going to dinner, he was accused of swear ing to a lie. Worsham replied that the jury, by their verdict, decided that the Hinkles, and not Worsham, swore to the lie. Prof. Cox's evidence clearly showed the disposition of the Hinkles to provoke a difficulty. After evidence by H. T. Davenport and J. A. Kaniere going to show that only two or three minutes elapsed between Dr. Worsham's leaving Hylander s corner and the killing, Dr. Horine was intro duced. He was standing some thirty steps away and saw the shooting. He was positive that both the Hinekles fired —Dr. J. 8., three shots, and Dr. A. 8., one. Dr. J. B. Hinekle claims to have fired all the shots from two pistols, one in each hand, in defense of his son, who Dr. Worsham was beating with brass knuckles. The last witness for the day proved a small piece of dynamite. He was Master Willis Everett, 13 years old, a messenger for the Western Union. Ho testified to being only a few steps away, coming to ward the city and met Dr. Worsham: that both the Hinkles fired before aay word was spoken by Dr. Wor sham, that at the two first shots he jumped behind a tree and only heard the last two. His testimony created quite a sensation. The cross examination failed to confuse him or cause au.v contradiction. A large number of ladies were present. A FIRE CHIEF EXONERATED. He Was Accused of Wronging a Girl and Removed From Office. Albany, Ga., Jan. 23.—Some time since, charges, charging T. E. James, chief of the fire department of this city, with a certain young lady’s downfall, were made to the city council, and a peti tion of citizens asked that he be per emptorially dismissed from the service of the city. The council did not do as requested by the petition, but ap pointed a committee to investigate the charges against Chief James. That com mittee made its report last night, which was to the effect that they had failed to secure any testimony proving Mr. James guilty of tho charge which has been pre ferred against him. Mr. James was then re-elected to his position as t hief of the fire department, at the request of a num erously signed petition of leading citizens. W. P. Burks, clerk of the superior court of this county, who is a farmer besides, brought into the city to day three 8- months-old pigs, which aggregated 1,081 pounds net. There is plenty of hog and hominy in Southwest Georgia now, and that is the programme which the farmers of this section will pursue this year. M’RAE MENTION. A Prosperous Term For the South Georgia College. Mcßea, Ga., Jan. 23.—The South Geor gia college now has 143 pupils.

A JIYSTERYREDWITH BLOOD A Negress Found Hindered and Her Hnsbaad Dead In a Hell. The Woman's Head Cut Open In Sev eral Places by Blows With an A*. One Theory Is That the Husband Killed Her and Then Committed Sui cide-Foul Play the Explanation Ad vanced by Another Theory. Greenville. S. C., Jan. 23.—Last night Ed Davis killed his wife and then killed himself. Davis was a well-known and rather prominent negro. He sold papers and ran a store. His wife was a hand some yellow woman. Both were under thirty years of age. The whole affair is wrapped in mystery. They lived happily, were respected by the white people and no cause can be assigned for the act. He chopped open his wife's head with an ax, probably while she was in bed asleep. She had several ugly gashes, either of which would have caused death. She was found in bed this morning, her long hair carefully smoothed and the cover neatly pulled up about her, and had it not been for the blood she would have looked as if she was sleeping. The body of Davis was found in his well, a few- steps from his back door. The theory is that in a sudden fit of passion he struck her and then finished the job with the axe. The horror of the deed was so great that when he calmed down he leaped into the well. Their oldest child, aged 8 years, saw the father and mother retire. No screams or noise were heard by the neighbors. There is a growing feeling among the colored people that there was foul play, and that Davis and his wife were both murdered. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that the woman came to her death at the hands of parties unknown. It is a significant fact that a negro suggested that Davis was in the well as soon as the murder was discovered. TWO WOMEN POISONED. They Drank From a Bottle Which They Thought Contained Valerian. Ocala, Fla., Jan. 28.—Last Saturday Miss Doctor Worcester and Miss West, of Conant, book belladonna by mistake for valerian. Miss Doctor Worcester was on her way to Lady Lake to attend a meeting of the Christian Endeavor So ciety. in which she was to assume an im portant part. Before leaving her office she took a dose out of a vial supposed to contain valerian. By the time she got to Lady Lake she knew something unusual was affecting her and told her friends. She asked to be put to bed and that a doc tor be sent for. Dr. Morrell, of the vil lage, responded, and when the case was made known to him he said the lady was poisoned. Strange to say Miss West, who lives with Miss Doctor Worcester, entered the ofiioe after the doctor departed, and, seeing the vial on the table, arid thinking it valerian, took a dose too. It was not long before she realized that trouble was on her, and she sent for a doctor and word to Miss Dr. Worcester of her troubles. Medical aid came. It was twenty-four hours before the patients were deemed out of danger. The eases excited unusual interest. All the doctors for miles around were summoned, including Drs. Parker and McNamara, from Leesburg. Nothing in the history of Lady Lake and Conant in the way of excitement ever approached these occurrences. Conant is midway between South Lake Weir and Lady Lake, on the Florida Southern railroad. Miss Dr. Worcester has been a resident and practicing physician at Conant for the past seven years, and is a most com petent and successful doctor. BRAIDENTOWN BRIEFS. Railroad Stock Sold at Auction—A New Route for the Peninsular. Braidentown, Fla., Jan. 23.—The A., G. C. &L. railroad’s rolling stock was sold at auction here Saturday, to satisfy a Judgment. Mr, Morton, the railroad magnate, was in the county this week, investigating anew route for the Peninsular railroad, one that will not interfere with steam boat traffic, so rumor has it. Mr. Morton is too old a railroad man to look out for the interests of steamboats in building a railroad, and it is quite probable that he will use discretion in the matter, and not work against the road's interest just to please a couple of real estate dealers. However, he stated that the new- rail road would be completed by the last of March. ‘ Old Pete,” the A. G. C. and S. rail road's first engine jumped the track at Sarasota Saturday. The fruit growers association held a committee meeting at the court house Saturday for the purpose of permanently organizing. Who will be dupty collector of customs for Manatee river is now a subject greatly agitated and petitions are being freely circulated. W. H. Fuller is very ill at his resi dence. REFORMERS ROUTED. Charleston's Assessor Re-elected After a Hard Fight. Charleston, S. C., Jan, 33.—The dead lock in the city council over the election of a city assessor was broken at the meet ing to-night by the re-election of W. A. Kelly, who has filled the place for thirteen years or more. The reform al dermen in the city council, who number sixteen out of the twenty-four members of the board, had a caucus which decided to make a clean sweep of the old officials who held over. Several members bolted the caucus, however, and at the last meeting the reformers were success ful in electing only a superintendent of streets, ousting Gen. T. A. Huguenin. The regulars elected all the other officials ex cept Kelly, on whose election the dead lock occurred. After taking thirty bal lots the election was deferred till to-night, with the resnlt as above stated. Kelly received 15 votes and W. G. Harvey, the reform caucus candidate, 9. FIRE AT EDEN. A Farmer Burned Out For the Third Time in a Year. Eden, Ga.. Jan. 23. —For the third time in a year Hartridge Smith's premises have been burned. Mr. Smith's place is three miles from Eden, near the Ogee chee river. The stables and all his year's supply of corn were destroyed. The fire occurred about 1 o'clock Tuesday morn ing. The live stock were saved. The loss is about $2,000. partially insured. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origiu. Bloodhounds have been put upon the trail, and strong hopes are enter tained that the incendiaries will be cap tured. FOR SLEEPLESSNESS Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

PUNTA GORDA POINTERS. The Season the Most Prosperous in the History of the Town. Punts Gorda, Fla., Jan. 23.—This is the most prosperous season that has ever come to Pirata Gorda. There is a great deal of building going on: many import ant improvements are planned, and busi ness is generally good. The number of arrivals of intending settlers and investors increases week by week. There are many inquiries regarding sites for factories of various kinds and locations of business ventures. The country, as usual, too. is filling up rapidly. The Tead settlement will probably bring from 100 to 200 fami lies inside of a year: many families are settling at Grove City, and there is a gen eral indication of a healthy tone to the local market. r ] The class of imigrants coming is much better than ever before. They are men and women who expect to lead a pioneer life for a while, and are prepared for it. The transient hotels here have been overcrowded lately, and private boarding houses have had to take many strangers in. There is serious complaint here against the present railway accommodations. A new railroad, ii is felt, is the great thing needed to develop South Florida. The present has been one of the best seasons among Ashmen of several years. They deal very largely with the Savan nah market. With better railroad con nections fresh fish can be supplied as late as June 1. Tarpon and channel bass fishing is extra ordinarily good in Charlotte Harbor this season. Two 500 pound catches, made by three visitors, are among the latest reported. OCALA BANK OFFICERS. The Cashier of the Merchants Na tional Displaces the President. Ocala, Fla., Jan. 23.—The election of officers of the Merchants National Bank took place this afternoon. Cashier Mc- Connell held too flush a hand for President E. P. Dismukes. The result was that the latter was displaced and R. B. McConnell elected president, J. A. Rowell, vice president; H. C. Wright, cashier and W. A. Redding, assistant cashier. Knowing ones say a prominent Jacksonville banker has lately' became interested in the bank and gave his support to Mr. McConnell. With this banker's interest comes a strengthening of the bank. Mias Damn Mofflt In Danger of Consumption “ I was sick and discouraged when 1 called on the village doctor.
