HILL AFRAID TO COME BACK. An Atlanta Man Threatens to Kill Him on Sight. Slanderous Statements Against a Woman the Provocation for the Threat -Hill Now Hiding in Chicago* But the Police Aware of His Where abouts and Rearrest Expected. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24 Harry Hill did not put in tis appearance to-day. as his law vers hare claimed, and according to bis own promises to the Chicago authori ty in connection with Hill’s apparent determination to give Atlanta a wide berth, anew phase of the noted ease is disclosed, going to show that Hill's dread of coining back to Atlanta is not so much 0 , t i ie law as fear of personal violence at the hands of a well-known young profes sional man. who has vowed to shoot bun down like a dog the first opportunity be gets. THE PROVOCATION TOR THE THREAT. This gentleman is not directly inter ested in the outcome of the main case but has declared a vendetta against Hill on account of slanderous things the latter said about a very dear lady friend of his, in the wholesale slanders he has from time to time uttered against society women under the claim that the ventila tion of his own affairs meant the destruction of their good names. Pill has always been reckless with his toncue. and at times has been able to realize that he had done-some dan gerous talking. When first arrested in Chicago he uegged to be allowed to stay awav from Atlanta, saying he would be killed if brought back here. Tht gentle man referred to is known to have threat ened to kill him, and every action of the latter goes to show that he is. fearful of being called to a summary accounting for tome of his sensational charges. always afhaid at atlahta. Since his first arrest, though twice out on bond, he has never spent an hour in the city outside the Jail, but as secretly as possible went straight from the jail to the depot in a closed cab. The first time he got a deputy sheriff to accompany him because he said he was. afraid of an at tack. and the last time his lawyers stayed bv his side until the train pulled out with him aboard. Hill promised his lawvers to be in Atlanta to-day, but.* instead, private telegrams show that he is hiding in Chicago, making every attempt to keep from being brought to Atlanta. The police have him located, however, and he will probably be arrested again by to morrow. The forfeiture of his bond on Monday makes him a fugitive from justice on ’lll6 charge of forgery, and if arrested again his extradition can not be denied. J CHILDREN OF GOVERNORS WED. C. L. Holt and Miss Gena Moore Jones Married at Montgomery. Raleigh, X. C., Jan. 24.—A special from Montgomery. Ala., to theNewa-Observer- Chroniole. says: “This afternoon at 6:30 o’clock, at St. John’s Episcopal church in this city. Charles Thomas Holt aud Miss Lena Moore Jones were united in mar riage. Miss Jones is a daughter of Gov. Thomas K. Jones, of Alabama, and Mr. Holt is a son of Gov. Thomas L. Holt, of North Carolina. The marriage was one of the most fashionable and brilliant ever seen here. Bishop H. M. Jackson per formed the ceremony. Miss Goode Jones was maid of honor and T. M. Holt, Jr., was best man. “The ushers were J. P. Terrall, J. K. Jackson, J. H. Farmer, Thomas Cahoan, William Galt and J. B. Jones. "The attendants were Miss Maude Cook and L. L.

Washington, Jan. 24.—An interesting tariff case, involving the interpretation of a clause of the tobacco schedule of the tariff act of 1883 was before the supreme court to-day. Collector Erhart, of New t ork. is the plaintiff in error and the im porting: firm of Scbroeder & Ban " the de fendant. In 1883 they imported bales of Sumatra tobacco, which they claimed were dutiable at 35e a hundred under the clause 'placing that rate on all "tobacco, in leaf unmanufact ured and not stemmed.'’ except leaf to "acco, of which Si per cent, is suitable for wrappers and of which more than 100 jeavesare repaired to weigh a pound. The collector held the tobacco to be in the latter class dutiable at 75 cents. Other suits are depending upon this ant * the decision involves nearly .000,000 in duties. Assistant Attorney General E. B. Whitney appeared for the government, and E.. N. Smith, of New > ork, for the importers. derelicts to be blown up. The Dynamite Boat Vesuvius Starts On Her Cruise. Washington, Jan. 24.—The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius started from New York 'bis morning on her long deferred cruise along the Atlantic coast to destroy dere licts and other menaces to navigation, carries a supply of dynamite for the purpose of blowing up sunken ships. The jesuyius is under instructions to find six derelicts along the coast of New Jersey, !>f.aware and Virginia, another wreck sear Sandy Hook and another at the diouth of Delaware Bay. The Vesuvius will go as far south as" Hampton Roads, where she will await further orders. RIOTS brewing in servia. ‘he Radicals Making it Hot For the New Government. Belgrade, Jan. 24.-—The new ministers were received with many manifestations of hostility in the skuptschina to-day and ‘wentually were driven from the room by 'he taunts and jeers of the radical tnem wrs.QThe President amid great confu sion read the royal message proroguing , House. The radicals are excited and eady to make trouble. •In all the larger ”'wns of thekingdom they aredemonstrat ng their hostility to the government.

Admiral de Gama Asks Admiral Ben ham to Arrange for Terms. Buenos Ayres, Jan. 24.—Dispatches re ceived here from Rio de Janeiro say that the insurgents are running short of pro visions and that this is one of the reasons which has led Admiral de Gama to enter into negotiations with Rear Admiral Ben ham, in command of the United States fleet at Rio de Janeiro, looking to a satis factory settlement of the disputes be tween the government and the insur gents. It is believed here that' there will be no further fighting at Rio de Janeiro, and that the American admiral now has the key to the situation, and that he will be successful in arranging matters in a man ner satisfactory to both sides. TROUBLE OS PEIXOTO’B SHIPS. Pernambuco, Jan. 24.—President Peix oto's war vessel, the America, has been compelled to land her ammunition at the arsenal. It has also been found necessary to dock her in order to replace a defective boiler. The commander of the cruiser Nictheroy has resigned, and the Brazilians hesitate to appoint a Successor, fearing that the American officers will also resign. APT TO DRAG ALONG FOR MONTHS. Washington. Jan. 24.—A semi-authori tative statement obtained to-day concern ing the situation of affairs in Brazil, makes it apparent that the United States government .is in the possession of information that causes it to be lieve that the civil war in that per turbed country is not likely to end for several months. High officials of the administration think that the war, if such it can be called, will drag along from day to day, and from week to week, without material change in the condition at Rio as it now exists, and will only be brought to a dose through the inability of one faction or the other to support its forces, or the. abdication of President Peixoto, caused by a popular uprising when the patience of the people has be come exhausted. It is learned that the situation at Rio has not changed ma terially wuh in a month. NO APPEAL FOR ARBITRATION. The story that these two factions will ask the United States government to per mit Admiral Benham to act as arbitrator or mediator in their troubles have not reached the state department or the navy department through official sources. It is explicitely denied that Admiral Benham has any in structions whatever to apply his peaceful offices toward ending the war. If any request for him to act as arbitrator has been made he would have communicated it to Secretary Her bert, and the probable action that would be taken on it is indicated in a statement of an official that the admiral would prob ably decline the suggestion, subject to the approval of the departmeuj. BISMARCK AND THE KAISER. The Long Talked of Reconciliation Now Looked Upon as a Fact. Berlin. Jan. 24.—There is now no doubt that the long talked of, and, in somequar ters, much hoped for reconciliation be tween his majesty and Prince Bismarck is an accomplished fact, and that before many days the face of the old ex-chancellor will again be seen in the Enter den Linden. Emperor William has given orders that rooms on the ground floor of the palace be prepared for the prince’s occupancy. The telegraph line between Berlin and Friederichsruhe is busily employed in the transmission of dispatches, arranging the time of the prince’s arrival in Ber lin. The first autograph letter sent to the prince by the hands of Count von Moltke said that his majesty wou id painfully miss on the occasion of the 25th anni versary of his entering the army, the presence of that man who, under Em peror William I, primarily co-operated to sharpen the sword of Prussia. The news that the prince is surely com ing to Berlin has caused great excite ment amoug the residents of the city. There is no doubt that he will receive a wildly enthusiastic welcome. MAT MEAN CAPRIVI’S DEATH WARRANT. London, Jan. 24.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says that the hot headed agrarians see in the Bismarck in cident Chancellor von Caprivi s political death warrant. Director Hammerstein in the Kreuz Zei tung greets Dr. Miquel as a promising vice-chancellor under the nominal Bismarckian chancellorship. The cooler spirits among the agrarians can hardly entertain a serious belief in such hopes. Even if the emperor should be disposed to dispense with Chancellor Caprivi, every circumstance connected with his long estrangement with Prince Bismarck will prevent him from selecting the present moment for such a grave po litical change. GOING BEJLOW ZERO. A Sudden and Rt mark able Fall in the Temperature. Chicago, Jan. 24.—There was a sudden and remarkable fall in the temperature here to-day. At midnight 6° below zero was registered. Reports from Minnesota indicate a temperature of 38° belo tv; in lowa it is 20° below, and at Milwaukee 8° below. Starting at Texas, west of the Mississippi to Northern Montana, the temperature ranges fiom zero to 38° below. In South Dakota, at one or two points on the James river, a temperature of 43° below is reported to-night. Fifteen miles west of El Reno, I. TANARUS., a man and his wife froze to death last night, and it is reported that others per ished by the intense cold. A tramp was found frozen to death eight mites north of Pittsburg, Kan., and near Benton, Mon., a man named Mori arity was frozen stiff while attempting to walk from that place to Great Falls. All trains are from one to twelve hours late, and telegraph wires are prostrated in every direction. The thermometer here at 10 o’clock to night registered 4° above zero, and will undoubtedly go below the zero point be fore morning. A regular Dakota blizzard swooped down on the lower Mississippi valley and to-night the country is frozen as tight as a drum. The cold wave struck Memphis about 3 o’clock this morning and was immediately followed by the most violent sleet and snow storm that has occurred there In recent years. Allen Thomas Confirmed. Washington, Jan. 24.—The Senate tfe day confirmed the nomination of Alien Thomas, of Florida, to be United States consul at La Guayra. __ Ci Chest Pains Short breath, palpita fH ti°n, weak and sore lungs, pleurisy, coughs, (A J cob's, asthma and bron- I T / chibs relieved in One Minute by the Cim cura Anti-Pain Plaster, the first and only instantaneous pain killing plaster.

Davis Plays “Alvin Jos lin’’ to a Largs Audience. “Uncle Alvin Joslin’’ Davis pulled a rousing top-heavy house last night to see his combination of ridiculous situations, which has tickled the gallery gods in every play house in America for the past fifteen years. The play is unchanged and unimproved, but there was a better class of actors than usual. The flashy uni formed brass band and orchestra were mis sing, and there was less brilliant jewelry displayed than in former years. /.Ivin is evidently out on reduced ex penses, calculating on his former reputa tion of elegant display and excellent act ing to make business bum The stage appearance and bright acting of Miss Carrie Medford were very p'easing. The portrayal of a worthless vagabond, the tool of a slick confidence man, was excellently done by J. V. Aring ton. and merited more praise than any character in the play. Uncle Alvin made his funny cracks and the gallery godssuc ceede lin getting in their “I*o laughs in ISO minutes.’’ To-mofrow night the Warde-James combination will be seen in “Virginius,” at Saturday’s matinee in “Julius Caesar” and Saturday night in “Othelllo.” Mr. Warde, as Virginius, makes the most of the character, and his acting in the fifth and last acts is said to be almost above praise. His pathos in the great forum scene brings tears to the eyes of many-play goers who think themselves proof against such weaknesses. His mad scene in the last act is a particularly, strong one. His passionate scenes are acted in a manly, dignified manner, well worthy of the great Centurion. Mr. Louis James makes the most of the character of Appius Claudius. Miss Fannie Bowman makes a very’ pretty and unconventional Virginia. Small, slender and very youthful in ap pearance, she loots the simple girl of 18, and In all her pleading with her father in the tragic forum scene she never loses her childishness, her winsome simplicity and her genuine girlish terror at the thought of being separated from her father, in whom, with the beautiful faith of child hood, she implicitly trusts even in the direst extremity. Mr. Herman, as Icilius, and Mr. Bar ton. as Oaius Claudius, both give thor oughly satisfactory impersonations, and the remaining characters are well played. The play is splendidly staged, and, alto gether, is admirably presented. A CHARGE OF COUNTERFEITING. An Interesting: Case to Be Taken Up by the Grand Jury To-day. The case of the United States against John E. Martin and James Warren, charged with counterfeiting and passing counterfeit money, will probably be taken up before the grand jury of the United States distriot court to-day. Both of the defendants are .farmers and live near Stillrnore, in Emanuel county. They had a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner L. M. Erwin in Macon last week and left the matter to the grand jury. According to the testimony’ in the case, Martin attempted to pass a*2 bill which had 1)860 raised to a S2O bill in a clothing store in Augusta when he was arrested. He claimed to have received the bill from Warren together with some other money that he borrowed from him, and that he knew nothing of the nature of the money at the time ho offered it in exchange for some purchases, which was last Novem ber. Warren's testimony was to the effect that he had received the bill from a negro who had asked him to change it, and he said it was done in the presence of witnesses whom he can get to substanti ate liis statement. The grand jury will take charge of the matter to-day. The counterfeit is a very poor imitation and the letters used in raising it are so poor that detection would seem almost certain at a glance. India Bills Allotted. London, Jan. 24.—T0-day was the regu lar day for the allotment of India coun cil bills. No ordinary tenders for bills were accepted. A special allotment of £lp,ooo was made for Bombay and one of £IO,OOO for Calcutta. The price at which the allotments were made was £l, Is. 13-32d. Seven of the Convicts Captured. Coal Creek. Tenn.. Jan. 24.—Seven of the, fifty convicts, who escaped from tho Knoxville Iron Company’s mine last night, have been captured. One was found dead in the mountains, shot through the heart, and others are believed to be dead. The search is still being made. The Andes Floated. Atlantic City, Jan. 24.—The steamship Andes, which has been aground near the Little Beach life saving station, was floated at noon, and proceeded northward in tow. She has suffered comparatively slight damage. An Earthquake at Annapolis, Annapolis, Md., Jan. 2f. —A most de cided earthquake shock was fejt here about 8:52 o'clock to-night, followed in a few minutes by a slighter one. The shock was felt at the state house, naval acade my, and other places. A Story of Lohengula. Stories of poor old Lobenpula are ,the order of the day. numerous records of the blit black man. whose lands Mr. Cecil Rhodes and his corporation coveted—and seized—are now quite fashionable. Dr. Joseph 1 atton has been hearing from Dr. W. H. Russell, and re peating in the Newcastle Daily Chronicle, a new anecdote of Lot engula. Dr. Kussell was staving with Gen. Dan. on at Pretoria some yearsago, when a tall fediw in jackboots and with a slouch hat, a tine looking Boer, entered the fort. He was a clergyman and missionary who had been with Lohengula seven years. During that time he had got through the Old testament with the king, but he could do nothing with the New. Lohengula liked lighting. He loved the battles of the Israel ites, rejoiced in having the enemy smitten hip and thigh. Whenever the missionary tried to interest him in the New Testament the Matabeie King grew impatient and in sisted on returning to the sanguinary records of the Bible. Well." said the missionary as he related his experiences to tr. Kussell, "at last I wanted to leave Lohengula, not because I was unhappv or disliked him but my teeth are not good and I had read' in a newspaper that a dentist hud arrived at Pretoria; so I explained to the king that I wished to go and have my teeth attended to. Now. instead of saying I wanted to have some new teoth put in I used a word in the Matabeie language that meant grow.’ so that I was understood tosavl wanted to go to Pretoria ‘to grow some new toeth.* Now this struck not only the king but his chiefs, as a very foolish excuse or as an undue tax upon their credulity, and it angered the king. Tor -even years you have been telling me lies,' he exclaimed, and I will be cursed if I let you go. Nothing would move him from this division and 1 had to succumb, which X did for a time; but eventually I saw an op portunity to get-away, and at some risk, and by making a tremendous detour. I am here to see the dentist who announces hts arrival in Pretoria ” Spoiled the Effect of the Piea. "Judge Emerson; one of the moat eloquent men Illinois ever produced, was one taken down completely in a speech at Decatur." sa.d E. E. Layman, an aitorney of Chicago, to a St. Louis Gio'ue-Democrat man "lie had a case in which there were some peculiarly pathetic circmnstancrs. the rights of a young g;rl whose property had been squandered and who was reduced to destitution being In volved Judge Emerson made the most of it, and. as he closed his speech, a solemn hush had fallen over the court room. Tears stood in the eyes of the jurors. His opponent saw that the spell had to be broken In some way or his case was lost. Arising slowly to his feet. In a voije of deep solemnity and with slow deliberation, b*' said: Gentlemen of the jury, let us continue the solemn exercises by singing the One Hundred and Fifteenth Psalm. A roar of laughter followed from the audience, and Judge Emerson lost his case.' FLAYED TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE Edwin Forrest’s Christmas Night Ap pearance in an Editorial Sanctum. From the Philadelphia Record. While in the zenith of his superb powers and at the very hight of his fame, Edwin Forrest, the greatest actor of his day, once played on a Christmas night one of his most successful characters to an au dience of but one person. The play was “Julius Caesar,’’ the place of its presen tation, the inner sanctum of the chief editor's office in the Press building, at Seventh and Chestnut streets, aud the cast of characters: “Julius Caesar,’’ Daniel Doueherty; “Cassius’’ Edwin Forrest: "Marc Antony.” Ed win S. Conner; "Brutus,” John W. Forney. What manager of to-day or any’ other day would not be proud to produpe a Shakespearean drama with such a combination of players—Dough erty. the silver-tongued; Forney, the journalist and statesman; Connor, the veteran of the stage, and Forrest, the tow ering giant of the dramatic profession. Is it an.v wonder that that audience of one should feel that he was at once lucky and a highly honored citizen’ It was only a few years before Forrest’s death that on this Christmas Sunday night he strolled into the Press office to have a chat with his old friend Forney. A few moments later Doughterty came, and was soon fol lowed by Connor, who was a frequent visitor to the editor. The meeting was purely accidental, but they were all close friends and the surprise was a pleasurable one. Dougherty, as is well known, had in his early days a predilection for the drama, and narrowly escaped being an actor himself. Indeed, he was a good deal of an actor in his famous lectures, especially in that celebrated discourse on “The Stage.” Forney, too, wasan ardent admirer of the players' art, and once had a strong desire to figure behind the foot lights. It was not strange, then, that the talk of this noted quartet soon shifted towards plays and players, and this was soon fol lowed by recitations. Dougherty gave his “Shamus O'Brien,” which alone had made him famous. Forne.v rendered sev eral passages from Boucicault's "Long Strike,” which the editor greatly ad mired, und then the four being warmed up, instructed the audience—which was Willipm H. Brady, Colonel Forney's ste nogranher—to “lock the door, Billy, and don’t let another soul in to-night.” and proceeded to give the notable perform ance of Shakespeare’s play. The minor rules were merely recited "by cues,” while Brady, when tlieoccasion was urgent in its demands for supernumerary assistance, acted as the “Roman popu lace," soldiers, and retainers of all sorts where presence was necessary to give the proper emphasis to points in the drama. Brady, who is an old theater-goer, and considers himself a critic, says to this day that “Julius Caesar'' was never played before or since as it was played that Christmas night. All these noted men have passed from the stage of life. For rest first, hext Fornoy, then Conner, and last Dougherty. And of each it could be said in the words of "Marc Antony” over “Brutus”: “He was a man.” The Prairie Sod House. From the Washington Post. “The sod house of tho Kansas and Ne braska plains is following: the buffalo and antelope into the laud of legends, said William F. Arbuekle, of Topeka. "A good many of the queer structures are still stauding, and in some instances arc used as human habitations, but most of them are utilized as stables for horses or cattle and slowly crumbling away to be come indistinguishable in their original earth. When 1 first went west years ago my father took up the acres as far as his eye could reach In what is now Eastern Nebraska. There was not a tree insight of the knoll he had selected as the spot upon which his residence should be erected, and the nearest place lumber could be secured was sixty miles away. He put up a small tent in which to cook and eat; the family slept in tho wagons, and with my brothers and hired man to help, set about making a house. “The thick sod was cut from the prairie in slabs about two feet wide by three in length, and on the sldeof the knoll, where an excavation had been made m its side, these slabs were placed, one on top of the other, until the roquired high! was reached. It was arduous work, and I re member what a lot of excitement thoro was when my father and my brother Lorn started off early one morning to go after the ridge pole and rafters that were to support the roof. They took qnly the running gear of our small wagon and I cried a good fellow when they started off because I thought they had broken up my pet vehicle. “They were gone nearly a week and reached home in the middle of one night after their journey of 120 miles. They had a brought a long, round piece of tim ber, like a slender telegraph pole, with numerous other smaller pieces, and my mother nearly had a fit of deßght when they proudly displayed a door and two window sashes, with a bundle of glass for the latter. There was great rejoicing when that ridge poie was put in place and the rafters run down from it to rest on the sod walls, and then came the labori ous task of putting on the sod roof so that it would keep out the rain and snow. "At last it was completed and we moved in. The house had four rooms, which was unusual for such struc tures, and its two windows soon made it known all over that section of the west as the ‘Shack with the Glass Eyes.’ There never was a more comfortable building erected than a sod house. They are not all damp, and one would suppose, and are as warm as you could desire in the winter, while in summer thay are the most delightfully cool places imaginable. But they are rapidly disappearing now. and when you see one you are sure to find near it a modern cottage with its windmill just as you do out at our place. He Wanted a Mule. A placid man. with an Innocent guileless ness that was as beautiful to look at ask seemed easy to have fun with, stepped timidly Into a livery and sale stable the other morning and asked for the proprietor says the Detroit Free Press. That gentleman came forward promptly. "Anything I can do for you to day. sir?" he asked with the courtesy of a courtier. "L’m-er," hesitated the visitor. I want to buy a mule." "I'm sure we can suit you. just fot In a lot last week. Step this wav. please;” and the proprietor ambled out toward the rear of the stable. What kind of a mule do you want?" he asked when they had reached the mule counter. "I rather like the looks of that large and portly one over there oy the wall,” ventured the visitor In a hesitating manner. Here. John. ' called the proprietor to a stable boy, "bring out that large and portly mule," and he chuckled low down as the boy led out the beast. I’here,” he went on. "that is a mule fit to work anywhere; good eyes, good legs, broad shoulders, meaiy nose, paint-brush tall, ail the modern Improvements, and you can have him for *175 cash; just what he cost to get him here." The mfld faced man walked around him carefully, not to say cautiously. "Fine untmal,” he murmured, as If afraid to speak. "Hne as silk,” corroborated the dealer. "Will he kick*" asked the visitor softly. The dealer's face showed a long streak of pain, hts bosom heaved, and he threw up his hands In deprecation My dear friend.' he almost wept, "what do you take me for? Of course the mule won't kick." The placid man turned away disappoint edly. • 1 don't want a freak." he said sadly. ' I m not running a dime museum.” and as he disappeared from the staple the dealer barked up close to the mule and begged the stable boy to tickle his heels lor about a min ute.
