MAKING DESPEEATE EFFORTS-
Populistic Attempts to "Work” the
Brother in Black.
Atlanta. Ga , Sept. 13.—Information
has come to campaign headquarters
showing that the populists are concentra
ting their work on the negro voters.
They are doing this work in a way that
tft |>eou!iarl; e cctive. 1 Chairman
Clay wants to put the people on notice
of the affiliation with the negro voters of
the populist demagogues, who are after
their votes. According to the informa
tion received the jopulists have or
ganized in each militia district what
they call a "steering committee." These
committees consist of live workers, who
s;>end their nights in going about among
the colored people, making a house
to house canvass They put thera-
Selves in the most intimate relations with
the colored voters, slaving with them for
hours at a time, and frequently making
several calls upon the same parties to es
tablish the desired friendly relations.
Then all sorts of promises of recognition
of the negro by giving them office are be
ing made bv the populists By such means
the negroes have been pledged to vote
their ticket in large numbers. Chairman
Clay does not feel at all apprehensive
& bout the result of the election, but wants
to put the people ou notice of the work
being done among the negro voters.
Judge Hines’ refusal to meet Mr. Atkin
son in joint debate did not create much
comment at democratic headquarters.
To those who have been keeping posted
about the populist plan of campaign, the
judge’s refusal was no surprise at all. 't
is not the purpose of the populists to sub
mit their case to argument with the demo
cratic leaders. They realize that they can
not stand up to a good old democratic
speech. Judge Hines is no match for Mr.
Atkinson on the stump and the latter
really did not expect that Judge
Hines would accept his challenge
wnen he sent it, but the boasts
of the populists made it necessary
to call them down. The populist man
agers themselves are sore over Hines’ re
fusal. There was quite a lively row among
them on account of it. They wanted their
leader to show his mettle, although they
knew he’d geta linedrubbingatthehands
of Mr. Atkinson. Some of Judge Hines’
most devoted admirers here admit that
his back down has hurt him with his fol
lowers.
QUIETLY SPIRITED AWAY.
The Presence of the Black Brute Ex
cited the People of Albany.
Albany, Ga.. Sept. 17.—Dave Goolsby,
the negro fiend who raped and murdered
little Susan Butler in Thomas county last
Saturday, was brought here yesterday
but to-day was spirited away by Sheriff
Edwards, who, it is thought, sent him to
Americus for safe keeping. The presence
of the black brute here incited intense
indignation and it seemed to be
growing hourly when the sheriff
sent Goolsby away unknown to
any one except his escort. The military
companies here have been on the qui vive
all day expecting to be called to protect
the prisoner from mob violence, but
Sheriff Edwards’ action has relieved
them of this possibility, which would
have been a very disagreeable duty.
This city will entertain all the popu
lists in this section to-morrow, the oc
casion of Tom Watson’s presence here.
Watson will speak from the Chatauqua
platform on the court house lawn.
A SPECIAL TERM TO TRY HIM.
Thomasville, Ga.. Sept. 17.—Dave Gools
by, the negro rapist, was taken by Sheriff
Doss to Albany jail Saturday night, where
be has been kept safe from the lynchers
since. To prevent possible trouble, Judge
Hansell has ordered the sheriff to move
him to the jail of another county, the Al
bany people refusing further to keep him.
The change was made in a roundabout
way to avoid, suspicion and preveat
trouble. Judge Hansell has also is
sued a call for an extra
session of court to meet on the
first Tuesday in October to try this human
fiend. It is hoped that the efforts of the
authorities will succeed in enabling the
law to take its course.
A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Hamilton, the little son of Hon. S. G.
Mcl-endon, met with a painfnl accident
in Athens yesterday, where the family
were visiting. He fell fifteen feet and
fractured Ins skull in two places. Dr. T.
M. Mclntosh left here immediately on a
special train to attend the little patient.

IMPORTANT KAIL.RO AD MEETING
Important Feature of Its Business Is
to Establish the Cotton Rate.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—An important
meeting of railroad men will be held hero
to-morrow. All the roads in the South
ern Railway and Steamship Association
and others outside of the association will
be represented by their traffic managers
or general freight agents. Some of these
have already arrived, and to-day held
preliminary discussions upon the ques
tions to be passed upon to-morrow. The
main object of the meeting is to establish
the cotton rate for this season and to ap
portion the crop, as has been done here
tofore, each line handling only so much
as is assigned to it in the agreement.
There was some trouble over last year's
apportionment, and it is not unlikely
that the railroad men will have a lively
time in settling the matter this year. The
differential on port shipments will also be
fixed.

A ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.
A Plucky Maiden Whose Love
Laughed at Guns and Kniveß.
Romo, Ga., Sept. 17.—A dramatic scene
was enacted on Upper Broad street yes
terday afternoon, and a pretty young
woman in tears, a demoralized young
man, the father and two brothers of the
girl voicing tneir determination, and
brandishing pistols and knives, made up
the dramatis personn®.
Frank Clark is a young man of 21, who
has for some time past been paying atten
tions to Miss Ellen Busbee, the handsome
(laughter of a well known farmer living a
few miles from Rome. For months the
pair have sworn eternal fidelity, and on
Sunday they came to Rome to be
joined in the bonds of matrimony.
The girl’s father and her two brothers
followed on horseback, and, brandishing
pistols and knives, threatened to kill
young Clark if he persisted in his effort.
The girl, through her tears, cried: "I
will marry him or drown myself.”
Finally she was taken home, but to-day
her father brought her back and she and
Clark were married. Mr. Busbee stated
that his daughter insisted so that they
had to give in.

A HOT CONTEST FOR TREASURER
An Interesting Primary in Marion
County, Florida.
Ocala, Fla., Sept. 17.—The primary be
tween Gen. F. J. Dickinson and John Ste
vens for the nomination for county treas
urer last Saturday was a most exciting
one. Gen. Dickinson is a war veteran and
Mr. Stevens is a fruit grower. The main
cause of the deep feeling which the con
test carried arose from the fact that in
1893 Gen. Dickinson, who was then and is
now county treasurer, withdrew the
county funds from the Merchants Na
tional bank and put them in the First Na
tional bantu This induced the Merchants
National and its friends to take sides
against Gen. Dickinson. There are vari
ous alleged reasons for the withdrawal,
Geri. Dickinson giving one set of reasons
and the bauk officials another. The re
sult of the primary is not yet known.

Trials of a Fireman.
From the Ohio State Journal.
‘ The public sometimes makes me very
tired,” remarked a tin man a day or two
ago. "How’s that; What kick have you
coming about the dear public!” “Why,
it never takes into account that we have
to work. It seems to have a gilt-edged
idea that we sit around the Iront of the

general amusement. 1 hav*> knoivu it en

THE MORNING XEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1894.
SPEED OF THE STEEDS.
A Small Attendance but Attractive
Card at Gravesend.
Race Track. Gravesend, Sept. 17.
There were no\ very many persons here
this afternoon, despite the fact that the
fields were large and the card very at
tractive. The attendance was fair and
the track was in good condition. The
principal events of the day were the
races for the Clinton stakes and
the Woodlawn handicap. In the
stake race Star Actress assumed
the task of pacemaker at
the start, leading the field to the back
stretch, but at the far turn had to sur
render her position, .and Beidemere, Poca
hontas and Lightfoot drew away to
gether. In a rattling finish Lightfoot
won by a head from Pocahontas, who fin
ished a length and a half in front
of Beidemere. Banquet broke ahead
of his field in the race for
the Woodland handicap. Simms at
once steadied him and dropped
to the rear to keep The Pepper company.
In the meantime Hornpipe and Gloaming
forged to the front, but when they swung
into the stretch Faraday was leading by a
neck. This lead he maintained until with
in a few strides of the finish, when Ban
quet got up under punishment and beat
him out by a head. The surprise of the
day was Gotham, who, at 10 to 1, easily
wrested victory from the favorite. Ap
plause, in the fifth race: Summaries:
First Race—Five furlongs. Kennell. 107,
Simms, 11 to 5, won, with Nieolini second and
Enchanter third. Time 1:0251.

THE CLOUD WAS ALIVE.
A Vast Swarm of Winged Ants Mov
ing Swiftly in the Sky.
From the Utica Observer.
“While driving home from Oneida last
Friday,’’ said a farmer who lives in the
extreme western part of the county, "I
saw a big cloud moving due north over
the fields and woods. There wasn’t any
wind blowing, the air was still, and I was
unable to account for the presence of a
big black cloud speeding away across the
heavens on such a stiil, bright day.
“At first I thought that it was a cloud
of smoke from the railroads, but then
when I first saw it the eioud was in such
a position that it could not possibly have
come from the West Shore railroad, and
even if it had, there never was a cloud of
smoke hung so closely together and so
long as that did. As 1 sat in my wagon it
appeared to me to be a mile long and a
mile wide, but. of course, that part of it
was a speculation, for no one can make a
very accurate guess of the size of a cloud.
The body in the sky was as dark as the
smoke from a locomotive, and looked to
be quite dense. It traveled quicker than
any cloud ever scudded before a thunder
shower in this section. When it first at
tracted attention it was high up in the
heavens, but it rose and fell several times
like tle soaring of a bird. Once it was
but a few feet above the top of some
woods. Again it took an upward course,
and continued onward in an unswerving
north course. It was about 5 o’clock that
the cloud passed.
“That evening I noticed a number of
reddish winged wood ants about on the
grass and in the roads. It occurred to
me that the strange cloud in motion
might have been a cloud of these Hying
ants. The more I pondered over the phe
nomenon the more, I became convinced
that it was a cloud of ants that passed
over the country. Such a story was too
big for me to tell, although there was
proof enough of the fact for my mind, so
i held my peace and simply spoke to my
family of the strange cloud. Others had
seen it, too. yet none suspected what it
was, and we fiually dismissed it. CD
"A day or two afterward I was in Con
stabloville and there the farmers told me
they had seen the same thing. There
was no doubt about it either, for a num
ber of them watched the cloud and at
that place it passed so low that they
caught the insects in tlieir hands. They
were the same flying ants. We comp; red
notes and found that it required just an
hour for the swarm to move from the
place where they were first seen to Con
stableville. The distance in a straight
line is thirty one miles. They were in
Oneida county at 5 o’clock, and at just <5
o’clock they were seen in the north. The
ants continued northward, and nobody
has told me where they stopped.”
Sibyl (who has been thrown over by
her fiance)” —I feel utterly discouraged.
Tippie (soothingly)—Never mind, dear,
remember there are as good fish in the
sea as ever were caught. Sibyl—That's
all very well; but doesn't it occur to you
that one may get tired fishing?—Vogue.
Day—lf I were in your place, I
wouldn’t paint that house white; I'd
paint it brown. • Weeks—lf you were in
m v place, you’d probably be so mad that
you'd paint it red, just to spite the people
who gave you advice about it.—Truth.

PALACE OF A PUGILIST.
Champion Jim Corbett’s Elegant Home
in New York.
A Handsome Residence Which Has
Already Cost the Champion $23,000
and on WBich He Expects to Spend
SIO,OOO More in the Way of Decora
tion.
From the New York World.
Asa rule pugilists lead very gay lives
and have no ideas on the subject of domes
ticity. But Champion Corbett is an ex
ception. Although be has a lively enough
time on the road, the great fighter has
established ior himself a home in New
York city fit for a millionaire, and he
spends the greater part of bis time when
in town at his own castle. In the modern
three-story browu-stone house, 146 West
Eighty-eighth street, the champion lives
with his wife, her father, G. P. Lake, and
his dogs. There are many more pre
tentious residences in that rather aris
tocratic part of town, but none
more cozy. The Corbetts are
great entertainers, and their friends,
particularly those of the gentler sex, are
already in ecstacies over the place.
Although the house is beautifully fur
nished now. it will be a veritable palace
when the art dealers and decorators get
through with it. Corbett is fond of pic
tures, but he hasn't had time to pick up
an extensive collection.
The drawing room on the first floor,
now in the hands of the frescoers, is
rather an uninteresting place tempora
rily. and it is kept closed. The main
hallway, however, would almost do
for a parlor, with a littie more
width. The polished hard wood floor
shows here and there through dainty
Turkish rugs, and a great carved oak
coatrack upon which a pot of palms
rests, together with a few water colors
on the walls, make the hall inviting.
The staircase is what first caught Cor
bett's eye when he was house hunting.
It is a handsome affair of carved oak,
with hard pine steps. Back ol' the draw
ingroom is the "diner, - ’ as Corbett calls
it. A sideboard at the right hand side is
well supplied wich silverware and cut
glass. In the closets underneath some
very choice liquids for toddies and that
sort of thing are kept. Corbett doesn’t
go in much for toddies, but some of his
friends are weak in that direction.
A handsome punch bowl is also very
much in evidence, and is always tilled
with liquid hospitality whenever there is
company, which is pretty much all the
time when Corbett is in town. If there
is one thing Mrs. Corbett can do better
than another it is to concoct a smooth and
fetching punch. She is fond of com
pany, and no one who calls at the Corbett
house misses a chance to repeat the visit.
The Corbetts are nothing if not hospita
ble. A bout the punch Mrs. Coroett says
she doesn’t know how she learned to
make it.
“It cost Jim an awful lot of money at
first,” she said. “Why, I don’t know
how many bottles of claret went to waste
until 1 struck the combination.”
“Does Mr. Corbett like the punch?”
“Oh. well, not exactly,” she said with
a smile a “sometimes be tries it, but I
really beneve he’d rather have beer, al
though he doesn’t drink much of that.
But Jim’s friends like the punch, so I
don’t care about his opinion.”
The Corbett family's meals are served
on an oaken table with big carved legs and
some carving at the sides. Aud, sur
prising as it may seem, the cook suits
them. They have had the same one every
since they began housekeeping, nearly a
month ago.
“I don't know as it is good policy to
give it away,” remarked the champion
boxer after his third meal at home, "but
that cook is a jewel. She got oato my
curves from the start, and I wouldn’t lose
her for a farm.”
Corbett is a big man and naturally has
a big appetite. The cook has carte blanche
in the ordering line, and the table, though
expensive, is correspondingly good.
On the mantel in the dining-room there
is a photograph of the master of the
house in ring costume. This is the only
thing about the place to indicate the pro
fession of the owner. The front room on
the second floor is Mrs. Corbett’s. The
walls are hung in blue and the room is
tastefully fitted up. Right back of it is
the Turkish room. The neighbors go in
droves to see this apartment, and if the
excitement keeps up and the times im
prove there will be more Turkish rooms
in the vicinity of West Eighty-eighth
street than there are in Turkey. Al
though tne hangings are rather dark,
there is an air of warmth about this room
that makes the grate under the mantel
look out of place.
The walls are covered with a curiosly
figured cloth, and from the ceiling is sus
pended the quaintest chandelier in town.
Its colored giass sides give the room an
odd appearance when the gas is lighted.
In one corner stands a piano which is
used by Mrs, Corbett and occasionally by
her husband, who can play a chopstick
waltz with great feeling and effect. Asa
rule lie doesu’t play in com; any. Mrs.
Corbett sings some and plays the banjo
splendidly. FatUer-in-Law Lake now
and again tackles “Larboard Watch,”
and the waitress, chambermaid and took
all have the "Sweet Marie” fetYr. So
the household is not without music.
A long, carved settee, with a huge
back, takes up one side of this room.
This is covered with silken cushions, upon
which the champion reclines when he
smokes his after-dinner Turkish cigarette.
There is no end of bric-a-brac on the walls
and shelves. The curtains are of some
queer Turkish stuff, which matches in its
general color the rugs and side walls.
Then comes the bathroom, which Mr.
Lake likes because there are two windows
in it. Corbett fancies it for the reason
that it is the finest bathroom he ever
looked at. The tub in which the
champion spends nearly an hour every
morning, is one of tnose poivelain affairs
with silver-plated fixtures. Glazed white
tiling makes the floor.
The upper iioor is divided into sleeping
rooms, all comfortably but not elabo
rately turnished. Thevhampion will use
a good part of the basement for a biliard
room as soon as the table is finished.
While he doesn’t consider himself a
match for such men as lvcs, Schaefer or
Slosson, it takes a pretty fair amateur to
beat him at billiards.
There is only one place in the whole
establishment which savors of athletics,
and that’s the cellar, where nobody goes
but Corbett. Here are stored wrist ma
chines, wrestling mats, dumb-bells and
everything needed to set up a first-class
gymnasium. He's going to swing a punch
ing ball from the ceiling in a day or two,
so even if no lights come along he can
keep his hand in.
There's a big yard, with a well-kept
lawn for the dogs to have fun in. It is'nt
large enough for golf, but might do for a
boy's she tennis court. As Corbett doesn't
< are a rap about either of these games,
the si/e of the yard will not worry him.
The lollies like it, but the man w ho keeps
tho lawn in shape doesn't like the collies.
THE CHAMPION WELL OFF.
If every pugilist could be ns well pro
vided for in the way of a homo as Corbett
is this would be a great country, for there
wouldn’t be anything but pugilists. i or
bett hasn't made as much as Sulli
van did while be was on .top
of the heap, but ho hasn’t had as
long a time at it. Corbett, however, has
more to show for bis earnings than any
lighter in the world. Sullivan should bo
v ortli half a million, but be has nothing

Herself in Aristocratic Fashion.
From the New York Ledger.
Somebody, who displays enough good
sense to start a millenium, says that the
coming woman will boa success just in
proportton as she learns to eat. For gen
erations past women have lived on bread
and butter—tinker's bread at that—and
tea and warmed-up potatoes. Sometimes
they were warmed up in milk; sometimes
in fat or butter: but they were warmed
over potatoes all the same.
Now this is a dish that is well enough
in its way, but it is not alarmingly pro
lific in the productive of brain material.
The coming woman is going to eat all the
good things of life. She will eat the best
she can get on all occasions, and as much
of it as common sense and an intelligent
understanding of the needs of her system
will dictate. Exit teapot and bread aud
butter, and in their places we will have
good soup, well cooked meats if one cares
for them, plenty of milk, eggs, butter and
a fair share of the sweet things of life.
For the coming woman is to be an out-of
door creature, and can consume pure sac
charine matter in reasonable quantities
to excellent advantage. Perhaps she
will make her own confectionery. If she
does, so much the better, lor she will be
more certain that it is made of proper
material.
Women have been starving themselves
to death in a systematic, sympathetic and
aristocratic fashion for a good many
years, and it is quite time that they put
a stop to it. The apostle of healthful de
velopment is tolling them it is out of the
question to keep a good fire in the phys
ical furnace without proper material.
There are many people who are under the
doctor's care, and who swallow no end of
nauseous drugs and drink all sortsof vile
fasting and smelling waters, when the
most that they need is plenty of good food
to eat and all of the out-of-door exercise
that they can bear.
A littl4 girl sat gazing at the new bon
net of one of her mother’s visitors, until
the latter smilingly asked. “Do you like
it, my dear!” The child innocently re
plied, “Yes. I do. Mamma and Aunt
Milly said it was a perfect fright, but it
doesn’t frighten me a bit.”—Tit-Bits.
“You are sure that Miss Flipley is 18?”
“Let me think Yes. she was 21 three years
ago.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
