A DIAMOND THIEF ESCAPES.
HE LEAVES A POLICE STATION BY
A TIIIHD STORY WISDOW.
Dropping to thr Hoof of nn Adjoining
Building He Gain* Ilia liberty and
Leave* the Htneeoat* Wondering.
He Indneed the (inard to leave
Him on the Gronnil Thai He Want
ed to Go to Sleep.
Atlanta. Ga.. Dec. IS.—While under
guard in a private room at the Central po
lice station, H. M. Rothery, the alleged
diamond robber of extensive ability, made
his escape this morning about 5 o'clock.
Rothery gained his freedom by climbing
out of a third-story window and lowering
himself to the roof of the building next j
to the station.
The charge against Rothery was robbing
the Freeman Jewelry Company of dia
monds and other jewelry, valued at about
$1,200. The robbery was one of the bold
est crimes on the records of the city, )
having been perpetrated in broad daylight, j
The officers think Rothery is one of the i
shrewdest and boldest crooks ever caught '
In Atlanta. About 4 o’clock this morning
Rothery told the officer that he needed
sleep. "See here, captain,” said he, “1
sat up all last night talking, and now I
need some rest. There is a draught in
this room and I might catch cold.
If you will kindly step outside and close
the door to shut off the draught. I think
1 can get the sleep which 1 am greatly
In need of.”
The officer stepped out Into the hall as
requested. Rothery took his overcoat and
hat, raised a window, let himself down
to the roof and descended to the ground.
When the officer looked in the room about
5 o'clock he found his bird had flowrii,
and the open window showed how he
had gone.
Rothery swore his innocence in great,
heartbreaking oaths, and requested to
he permitted to remain under guard in an
office, and not be placed along with low,
vulgar men. Atlanta s police department,
always susceptible, fell an easy victim to
Jlothery’s guiles and now It Is another in
stance of the proverbial bird has Mown.
The police think he has gone to Condors,
N. Y-, from where he claimed to have
come.
Rothery was captured to-night at Mari
etta by City Detectives Ivy and Pysor and
Is now safely lodged in jail.
A BIRULAK IN V SEMINARY.
A Chora* of ScreinVrom the Girls
Puts Him to Flight.
Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 13.—A burglar creat
ed a panic In the Capital Female college
on Houston street this morning between
J and 2 o’clock. For a few minutes fifty
frightened school girls, all clad In their
white gowns, shivered with the cold as
they rushed about through the corridors,
screaming for the teachers, and the po
lice. By the time Mrs. Stone, the princi
pal. appeared upon the scene the burglar,
who was a negro, bursted the door of the
rooms open and rushed past the horrified
crowd or girls and escaped through a low
er floor window he had prised open when
he came in.
It appears from the accounts given by
the frightened girls, that they have been
hearing strange noises In the house for
several nights past, the sounds at first
being attributed to rats. The burglar had
been prowling about the school for some
time trying to affect an entrance, and
last night succeeded in getting one of
the basement shutters open.
The alarm was first given by one of
the young ladles, who was awakened by
the appearance of the negro in her
room. She was terribly frightened, but
jumped up and ran out of the room scream
ing and finally fainting In the arms of one
of her school mates. The negro remained
on the Inside Just long enough to have
the whole school aroused and the girls
gathered out In the hallway. Seeing that
the only way out was to go the way he had
come he dashed past them towards the
basement stairs. The police were sent
for and made a thorough search of the
premises before the frightened girls would
go back to their rooms again.
A POT OF GOLD;
It in Said to Be Buried in the County
of Lauren*.
Tweed, Ga., Dec. 13.—Considerable sur
prise was manifested to-day by the peo
ple in this vicinity when it was learned
that the alleged location of a large sum
of buried money had been discovered. For
a number of years it has been reported
that a quantity of gold was deposited in
the ground, in what is termed the Gainiss
branch, near an old field. Many years
ago an old woman, residing near the’spot,
said there was money somewhere on the
line between the ford of Mercer’s creek
and the worn out field. This led u Meth
odist preacher named Rudd to go pros
?ecting. He worked assiduously, day af
er day, until he was finally successful
in locating the exact spot. The treasure
Is claimed to be on the land of Charley
Wilkes, but It is not known whethei he
■will grant the successful prospector the
right to unearth it.

TAMPA’S BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Mr. De Soto Fitzgerald Married Mias
Genevieve Stelililn*.
The Tampa Dally Times gives the fol
lowing account of the Fitzgerald-Stebbins
wedding In that city last Wednesday!
“St. Andrew’s Episcopal church was
never more handsomely decorated nor
thronged with a more brilliant assem
blage, the occasion being the marriage of
De Soto D.~ Fitzgerald to Miss Genevieve
Stebbins.
"Promptly at 7 o’clock the beautiful
strains of the wedding march front
Lohengrin pealed from the organ under
the skillful touch of Mrs. W. H. Ferris
and the bridal party entered the bril
liantly lighted chimb, which was decorat
ed lavishly with palms and bumbo vines,
while the altar glowed with candles and
blushed with La France roses. The four
ushers, J. Paul Glenn, John T. Douglass,
Edward Louis Douglass and J. K. Merrtn.
led the way, followed by the groom and
his best man, John Bradley, agent of the
Plant steamship line and the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad and British
vice consul at Port Tampa. The bride
leaned on the arm of her father. Dr. li.
H. Stebbins, who gave her away at the
altar, where the twain were made ope as
Rev. W. W. DeHart read the beautiful
ritual of the Episcopal church.
Immediately after the benediction the
bridal party drove to the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western depot with many friends
who there bade them good-bye with many
congratulations, as they departed on the
8 o’clock train for St. Augustine and
Palm Reach. They will be absent about
three weeks on the Indian River, if Mr.
Fitzgerald’s health permits. He has been
quite sick and it was feared would not
be able to be up in time for his wedding,
but Is now convalescing rapidly although
too weak to attempt a change of climate
on his wedding tour.
He is the eldest son of Capt. James W
Fitzgerald, the superintendent of the Plant
Steamship lines at Port Tampa, and own
er of half the site of that town. The son
rivals the father In popularity, and has
many fine traits of character, which win
him favor everywhere. He has been so
fortunate as to win one of the loveliest
and most accomplished young ladies of
Ta,mpa. one whose graces of mind and
manner have made her a universal fav
orite with all who know her and whose
sunny presence will brighten his home
with every womanly grace. She was sim
ply attired last night. being
clothed in a stylish traveling suit
of blue cloth trimmed with blue velvet and
large steel buttons. She wore a Hob Roy
hat of blue velvet, trimmed with black
birds, and carried a large bouquet of Mar
echal Neil roses.
"The popularity of the young couple was
attested by a large number of beautiful
gifts from friends all over the country,
Including handsome presents from Presi
dent and Mrs. H B. Plant and other cf
fioials of the Plant system. No idea of the
beauty and value of the gifts could be
given by a description, and they were far
too numerous to mention."
The groom is well known In this city,
and his friends here sent congratulations
to himself and bride. Among the guests
from Savannah at the wedding were Mr
E. B. Fitzgerald and daughter, Miss Dolly
Fitzgerald, uncle and cousin of the groom.
A CONVENTION ON AFRICA.
Gov. Atkinson Addresses the Col
ored Congress at Atlnnta.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13.—The congress on
Africa convened this morning at the
colored Methodist church, President
Thlerkield of Gammon Theological Semi
nary acting as chairman. The opening
prayer was offered by Rev. R. S. Rust!
D. D., of Cincinnati.
Gov. Atkinson welcomed the members.
Among other things, the governor said:
"From the midst of pressing business
cares I come to welcome this important
gathering. Slavery was a hard lot. Sla
very, in my judgment, cannot bd Justi
fied. And yet, may It not have been a
part of Goa's plan for the redemption
of your race, that you might put up r
prayer to God and man for the redemp
tion of your fatherland? There are those
who said thirty years ago that you could
not learn (yet I believe even they then
admitted you could sing). Let any one
who Is in doubt visit the commencement
of Clark University, Atlanta University,
Georgia Industrial Institute; then he
must say what has been done can be
done.”
"These things," he continued, "should
lead you to a deeper interest in the sal
vation of your fatherland. Each must de
cide for himself whether he will go or
remain here. You are free citizens of this
republic. If you care to stay, the choice
is yours; if you think best to east vour
lot among the people of your old country,
no man may say you nay. Yet the ques
tion of duty presents itself, and you owe
a duty to your fatherland. So long as I
have a voice in the affairs of Georgia, I
shall do my utmost to see that the col
ored man has his rights.”
Others who spoke were Bishop Duncan,
Heli Chatelain. the celebrated African
explorer anil linguist; J. H. Smithe, col
ored, of Richmond, Va„ and Dr. Alexan
der Crumell of Washington.
At the afternoon session the speech by
Orishelukel Famuda of the.Yambo tribe,
West Africa, was the feature. .
To-night Cyrus C. Adams of the New
York Sun lectured on "New Things We
Have Learned About Africa.”
IMMIGRATION TO THeToVTH.
The Exposition Advertising Expect
ed to Give It a Boom.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13.—President T. M.
Bryan of the Southern Interstate and Im
migration Association, which was organ
ized in Augusta last May, has issued a
call for a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the association to be held in Atlanta

new impetus to immigration and Indus

this movement.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1893.
DECEMBER BUSINESS DULL
A REVIVAL LOOKED FOR AFTER
THE HOLIDAY!*.
Speculation in Product* Not Very
Hrlsk and In Stork* Decidedly i mis
tier—No Increase in the Export* of
Gold and the Outward Movement ot
Product* n Shade Larger—Scarcely
a Hippie of Interest Created By the
Government Crop Heport.
New York, Dec. 13 —R. G. Dun & Cos.,
will say to-morrow in their weekly review
of trade: "The failures for the first week
of December, show liabilities of $3,104,831,
against $4,036,866 last year, and $4,761,409 in
1893. In manufacturing they are $1,157,760,
against $1,427,415 last year, and $1,730,044
in 1893; and in trading $1,892,821 against $2.-
401,451 last year, and $2,591,365 in 1893. The
failures for the week have been 338 in the
United States against 349 last year, and 54
in Canada against 40 last year.
"It has been a quiet week without any
disturbance. The prices of manufactured
products slowly recede from the high wa
ter mark of ’speculation, and no material
increase in demand is now expected until
after the holidays, but there is general
confidence that greater activity will then
appear.
"Speculation is not very brisk, and in
stocks decidedly Inactive, except in a
few industrials. The outgo of gold does
not expand and the outward iqovement
of products is a shade larger. Clear
ings are 10.4 per rent, more than last year.
“The government crop report caused
scarcely a ripple of interest, though In
dicating less than 6,400,000 bales of cotton
and a larger acreage than had been ex
pected of winter wheat. The great sup
plies of cotton brought over from previous
years render it unimportant whether the
yield of 1895 was 7,000,000 or 6,000,000 bales,
except as affecting future planting, and
the extensive organizations of planters
to keep back their cotton deprive small
receipts of their natural influence. Wheth
er from that cause or not, the receipts
have recently been over 40 per cent, smal
ler than last year; but the takings of spin
ners and exports are also smaller.
“The iron furnaces in blast Dec. 1, turn
ed out 21*1.797 tons weekly, against 217,306
Nov. 1, with an increase of 8,fl<)0 tons in the
stocks unsold. But the actual consump
tion Is much smaller than the output at
present, and prices again decline—No. 1
anthracite to $13.75, Bessemer pig at Pitts
burg to $12.60, and Grey forge to sl2. Finish
ed products are weak, and sell below quo
tations, though quoted prices average
about half of one per cent, lower for the
week. Heavy orders by the Rockefeller
interest for plates and other material to
build vessels for the transportation of
Mesabi ore next year, have strengthened
the market somewhat, but the demand at
the east is very light and most of the
works have shortened force considerably,
while at Pittsburg structural forms, plates,
sheets and pipes are in light demand, and
some bar mills in the valley have shut
down for want of orders. Higher prices
are expected for ore arid coke, and it is
believed this will cause an upward turn
in iron.
"The shoe manufacturing is getting rath
er more new business, mainly In cheaper
goods, by a reduction in prices, which
has averaged nearly four per cent, since
the last week of November.
"Business in cotton has not gained and
print cloths are lower at 3*4 cents, while
a few more reductions are noted in the
prices of other goods. The manufacturer
has had a highly profitable season, though
dull now."
Bradstreet's, to-morrow, will say:
"With the exception of mild weather at
cities in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
Minnesota, colder weather has stimulat
ed sales of seasonable merchandise at
nearly all points, but only by contrast
with preceding weeks. The wholesale
trade is dull, merchants preferring to
reduce stocks at the end of the year to
make ready for the annual inventories.
In retail lines there has been, a marked
increase in demand. Irregularity is shown
in mercantile collections, generitf trade
throughout the country being relatively
most satisfactory in the Central Missis
sippi valley.
“The bank clearings throughout the
United States this week aggregate $1,129,-
000,000, a decrease of 9 per cent, from last
week, which is not unusual. As compar
ed with the clearings for the second week
of December, 1894, this week’s aggregate
shows an increase of 10 per cent.
"The course of the prices of staples
continues downward. Lumber remains
steady and without particular activity.
Iron, and sreel continue what appears to
be a regular weekly decrease, although
the reductions this week are fractional.
“TJie only advances in quotations re
corded among the most important staples
are for petroleum, coffee and cotton.
"In Industrial lines woolen manufactur
ers report fair orders for dry goods, but
at low prices. Philadelphia textile plants
are running on full time, but are at work
on orders for immediate delivery. Phil
adelphia manufacturers of morocco have
begun running on short time.
"There were 313 business failures re
ported throughout the United States this
week, compared with 315 last week, 383 in
the like week one year ago, 337 two years
ago and 298 in the second week of Decem
ber, 1892.
"Among the more conspicuous trade
features are the disappointing Christmas
trade at several cities; smaller volume of
business, except In Christmas goods, at
Chicago; increased distribution of heav
ier textile, shoes and rubber goods at St.
Louis, and continued depression in cer
tain lines at Kansas City, Omaha and
Miixnetftpolis because of mild, weather.
Among southern cities the single Instance
of improvement is reported from Birm
ingham, although most distributing cen
ters expect an increased demand after
Jan. 1.
"The cotton receipts are unusually small
at almost all 'southern points, except at
New Orleans, where they are liberal.
"Galveston reports the Christmas trade
smaller than one year ago.”
A New Ballot Law in Virginia.
Richmond. Va., Dec. 13.—Mr. Wickham
offered in the state Senate to-day a bill
regulating elections by ballot and repeal
ing the Walton law. Distinctive features
of the bill are requirements for the bal
lots to be uniform, requiring the same
size type to be used for all candidates,
presenting in detail how the ballots shall
be printed, ...aking special provisions tor
presidential elections, and for cases
wherein constitutional amendments are
submitted to popular vote. The most
important feature of the bill, however, is
that the office of special constable pro
vided for in the Walton law be abol
ished.
