AN ALLEGED EYE WITNESS-
A Woman Who Claims to Have Seen
Young Crowley Killed.
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 24.—Charles Jones.
E. B. Drake and J. W. Conley, the three
men who have been under arrest for sev
eral days suspected of complicity in the
Crowley murder, were released late this
afternoon after a full investigation of
their suspected connection with the
murder by the coroner's jury.
The only new feature developed at the
inquest to-day was the discovery of a
witness, a country woman, Mrs Fannie
Clemmons, who lives near Westwood
para, who testilied that she had seen the
men drive up to and leave the place of
the murder and that she had heard the
pistol shot that had killed Crowley. She
was in a neighboring field cutting wood.
This witness testified that there were
three men in the buggy wnen it stopped
where the killing occurred, and that she
saw two men leave the place. Little con
fideuce is placed in the woman's evidence
by the police. Sne is very ignorant and
it is thought that she is being used by
Meyers' lawyers to support his story that
the alleged Brown Allen did the killing.
It has been learned that Meyers took a
%rip to Cincinnati about the time
of the murder of old Mrs. Lilly,
who lived alone near Westwood park
three months ago, and the police are try
ing to connect him with that murder,
which has remained a mystery up to date.
Meyers was familiar with Sirs Lilly's
habits and knew that she kept a good
deal of money in the house
This afternoon when the coroner sent
for Meyers to put him on the stand, the
sheriff refused to deliver him up without
an order from Judge Lumpkin. The judge
declined to grant an order, and the in
quest had to be continued until to-merrow,
when the coroner and sheritf will have it
out about the prisoner.

They seem to have lost all hope of polling
a respectable vote. Many of their most
i ardent admirers, after hearing the sound
democratic speeches of the past two
weeks, have returned to the Democratic
party. They have failed completely in
their efforts to capture the negro vote
and there remains nothing for them to do
but await their doom. They will make a
last effort at Nashville on the 29th inst.,
when Tom Watson and W. E. Smith will
appeal to their prejudices, but If they
arouse no more enthusiasm than they
have done heretofore, very little harm
■will come of it.

THE MACON MEETING.
9mlth on Finance— Dußignon Reads
the Epitaph of Populism.
Macon. Ga., Sept. 24.—Secretary of In
terior Hoke Smith arrived in the city to
day at 11 o'clock and to-night addressed
8,000 people at the Wadley monument for
two hours The speech was one of the
best ever heard here, and did much for
democracy.
The secretary confined himself to na
tional questions dealing prinoir.ally with
the tariff and silver. He made clear his
statements with records and figures, and
gave people a clear understanding of
much they did not know on national
questions He concluded by scoring
popuiists heavily for their actions in the
Senate and House and held them up to
ridicule for some of their ridiculous ideas
of reform.
Secretary Smith was followed by the
Hon. Fleming dußignon of Savannah,
who arose in response to repeated calls.
Mr. dußignon was so hoarse he could
hardly speak, but he addressed the crowd
for ten minutes, during which time he
read the epitaph of the pooulists. Loud
and prolonged cheering greeted Mr. du-
Bignon throughout his remarks and the
crowd regretted he could not speak
longer.
Kon. Charles L. Bartlett followed
dußignon in one of his brief but telling
speeches that had great effect on the
crowd.
The Hon W. Y. Atkinson was to speak,
but a telegram was received from him
saving he could not come. It was a big
stand for democracy, notwithstanding
the circus and other attractions going on
at the same time.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1894.
THE BISHOP'S REFLY.
He Expresses an Opinion of a
Criticism of His Review Article.
Peoria. 111., Sept. 24.—The following
written statement was to-day issued by
Bishop Spaulding with reference to the
criticism upon his American Protective
Association article in the North American
Kei :vw by Bishop Keane
“I have read Bishop Keane's criticism
on my article in the North American Re
view. and as it has not been disowned I
must suppose it to be authentic. The im
portant question is whether what I have
published in the review is true A thing
may be unfortunately true, and this is
doubtless what Bishop Keane means
when he calls my article unfortunate.
He says. also, that it is untimely, but I
fail to see how this epithet can be applied
in any right sense to the honest and dis
passionate discusssion of a subject which
attracts general attention, aud is not
without importance. If my very moderate
expression of views on a question
w hich is actually before the public and
which is of concern both to the church
and to the country is to be condemned, as
unfortunate and ill-timed, then rational
discussion among Catholics is no longer
to be thought of. and Catholic universal
ism is but a pretense. If what is said of
Cardinal Giboons is true, the least I can
do, 1 suppose, is lo regret that he should
express his regret to the pope. Regrets,
however, are idle, and the manly and
American thing to do is to confront me
with arguments and not to attempt to
frighten me with groanings.”

AN OVERZEALOUS UNION.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts Not Allowed
to Choose Her Painters.
London. Sept. 24.—The correspondence
between Baroness Burdett-Coutts and the
secretary of the London Painters' Trade
Societies has been published and is at
tracting much attention and comment-
The secretary wrote that a complaint had
been lodged against the baroness for
allowing her stablemen at Brook
field to paint the stables. in
stead of employing union painters
to do the work The baroness
in a spirited reply, after pointing out that
Brookfield is the property of her husband,
denounces the “monstrous and intolera
ble oppression which the union claims to
have the right to practice, and which
would deprive every workingman of the
right to work out his own advancement
by his own energy, and rob him of the
birthright of personal liberty.”
□ The newspapers generally denounce
the action of the union, and point out the
services of the baroness to the working
people and how she has spent many years
of her life and a large part of her great
fortune in their interests.

ROADS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
What the Farmers of Mecklenburg
County Are Doing.
From the New York Post.
The people of Mecklenburg county.
North Carolina, from being indifferent and
even hostile to road improvement have
come to be most enthusiastic on the sub
ject. Forty miles of stone road have
been already laid, and the work is being
rapidly extended. At first the farmers,
as in other parts of the country, were op
posed to paying the extra road tax, be
lieving that they were not to be specially
bonetitted, or that they would have to
pay for the advantages accruing to others.
But they tye now eager to stand their
share of the expense and are clamorous
for extensions, oven offering to deliver
stone free in order to expedite the work.
The labor is done by convicts, and the
Telford system is used. Tne roadbed is
made thirty feet wide and the metal, as
road engineers call .the stone, is
placed over about half of its
width. The other fifteen feet of
the road is made smooth for a
summer road, being, when dry and hard,
much better for driving over than astone
road. Other counties of the state, it is
reported, are aoout to adopt the Meck
lenburg plan. Some of the benefits de
rived front good roads were sot forth at
the recent Charlotte road congress
One of the speakers said: "The social
isolatisn of country life has been greatly
decreased. Farmers keep better horses
and better vehicles, t our bales of cot
ton can be carried to market with the
team that was formerly required to haul
one bale. It costs more to haul a cord of
wood ten miles over the old mud roads
than the wood would fetch in the mar
ket. the good roads enable the farmers
to market a great quantity of fruit and
vegetables which had formerly gone to
waste. This has encouraged diversified
farming, and fanners can earn money
from marketing all the year round.’’
A FLORIDA “SEA DEVIL.’’
Body of a Man, Tail of a Fish and
Wings of a Bird.
From the Lakeland (Fla.) Sun
Capt. W. Friend, an old salt from Titus
ville gave an exhibition in Lakeland a few
days ago of something he called a “sea
devil.” Devil it certainly is, but what
particular breed is not known. It has the
body of a man, the head of a dog, the tail
of a fish, the w ings of a bird, a mouth
like a village gossip, is as ugly as the
devil, and, as the old cracker said about
the gator, -'amphibious as hell.'' The
Sun s sporting editor says he saw one ox
aetly like it, once after he had boon in
dulging too freely in hop tea and other
temperance beverages, but with this
single exception no other one has ever
been seen in Florida. It is really a won
, derful sight and you should not fail to see
it if the opportunity is aflorded y ou.
CHINESE JEWELRY.
A Tongue Scraper Is Indispensable to
a Celestial Belle-
From the Journal of the Society of Arts.
The first thing to attract attention in
Shanghai and Hong Kong is the quaint
ness and quantity of jewelry worn by Chi
nese women in their hair. A careful ob
server can, simply by looking at these
ornaments, tell not only the rank of the
wearer, but the district from which she
comes. There are three classes of these
head-pins: First, the purely decorative
pins, made of gold, silver, brass, ivory,
horn, tortoise-shell, bamboo or celluloid,
the pin terminating in a head which dis
closes the rank of the wearer:
second, those which terminate in
a cluster of some sort, seven jade
stars for instance, or a group of
blue rats' eyes representing a bunch of
grapes: third, those in which the shank
and head are separate, the latter keeping
thereby in constant motion. The hair
pins used are made of thin bars of gold or
silver, which are made to bend to differ
ent shapes, according to the style of hair
dressing. A curious instrument possessed
•by everyone in China above the extremely
poor is the tongue-scraper. They may’ or
may not have brushes,but they are sure to
have a tongue-scraper. This scraper is a
ribbon of silver or gold, with a ring at
one end, by which it is suspended when
desired. The cheapest are of plain metal,
more expensive ones are engraved, while
a few are jeweled at either end. Like
hairpins, they are sold by weight, plus a
small charge for workmanship.
Thumb-rings are very common in the
east. These are often made of precious
metal, ivory, jet and precious stones, but
generally they are of fine jade. This cav
ity is not cylindrical, but swells out at
the base and middle. This enables the
owner to wear it lower down, and also
prevemsits slipping. The jade is usually
polished, but may be engraved or carved
in intaglio or relief The refined classes
use jade exclusively, and as precious a
variety as their purses will permit, but
some of the lowerclasses wear imitations,
which are made of glass or porcelain,
colored with lead or iron oxide. One va
riety, which is made by enameling iron,
is remarkably strong and durable,
and corresponds to the “knuckle
duster.” The thumb-ring came into vogue
in the time of the three kingdoms, during
the regime of the famous Gen. Kwang-Ti.
He used a bow, and, to increase the ac
curacy of bis aim, substituted a heavy
bamboo thumb-ring for the glove usually
worn by archers. His example was fol
lowed by his bowmen, until the practice
became general. On ins rise to power his
admirers presented him with a jade ring
of great value, which he substituted for
the bamboo one. His brother#the reign
ing monarch, adopted the custom out of
compliment to the great warrior, and thus
introduced the fashion into civilized so
ciety.
S4OO FOR A KISS.
A Rochester Jury Takes a Commercial
View of Osculation.
From the New York Would.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 11.—Charles
Drobble, in charge of the Edison phono
graph exchange, advertised last June for
a stenographer. Mary E- Himple of Os
wego, aged 19, answered the advertise
ment in person, and, she says, Drobble
threw his arms around her and kissed
her. Then she ran out and swore out a
warrant for Drobble's arrest, and later
brought a suit for damages.
There were no witnesses to the kissing,
and, though Drobble denied all display of
affection on his part, the jury believed
the girl's story, and brought in a verdict
to-day for 8400.
“When he put his hand on you,” de
manded Drobble's attorney of Miss Him-
Dle while she was telling her story, “you
knew it was not right, didn't you?”
"Yes,” replied the young lady.
“Then why didn’t you scream?”
“I was so frightened that I couldn't,”
she answered.
"Yes; he met a summer girl and proposed
to her but she rejected him.”
■'then she wasn't a genuine summer girl.”
