T’riimpeil 1 t.
Atlanta. Ga.. A up. 31.—Gov. Atkinson
this morning issued an executive order re
fusing to interfere with the sentence of
the court in the case of H. S. Perry, who
ttat convicted of the murder of Bely La
nier last spring and condemned to pay the
penalty for his crime on the scaffold.
T'nder the original sentence passed I >y
Judge John S. Candler, Perry was to have
been hanged at Decatur two weeks ago,
but he was granted a respite by the gov
ernor and will now meet his fate on next
Wednesday. Sept. 8.
This morning a final effort was made to
Induce the governor to grant a commuta
tion and a harrowing scene was enacted in
the executive office by the wife of the
doomed man. For a half hour she be
sought Gov. Atkinson to save her hus
band .pleading with him in hysterical
tones. The unfortunate woman was com.
p.etely carried away' by her emotion, and
fell upon her knees hegging the governor
not to let the father of her children die
upon the gallows. Her father, who with
other members of ttie family accompanied
her to the capitol, came into the gover
nor’s office and tried lo calm her, hut final
ly’ she had to be almost literally carried
out of the presence of the chief executive,
still pelading and weeping hysterical.y.
Gov. Atkinson has spent more time in
vestigating the Perry ease than any other
application for commutation ever before
him. He went over all the records and
examined many witnesses In ts rson, but
could find no ground for Interference.
The claim upon which the application
was made was that Perry, had killed La
nier because he had committed an assault
upon his wife, which assault Mrs. Perry
made affidavit to before the governor.
Lanier’s dying statement was. however,
that the killing was on account of the
fact that ho had told the wife of her
husband’s relations with a woman of the
town and the jury believed this, it being
shown that the woman implicated had
been a caller at the jail to see Perry since
the tragedy.
JIDGE GRIGGS SCORES A POINT.
He M ins the First Case Against the
Rnilronds For It i'll need Rntrs.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—Dawson has
secured a removal of discrimination
against her in freight rates, and the rail
roads have met it in a way that it will
give them more revenue. With the result
of higher rates to Albany, the town of
Lawson, through Congressman J. M.
Griggs, and a committee, consisting of
president J.. W. F. Lowry and Secretary
*W. H. Davis of the board of trade, and
Mr. W. A. McLain, a leading merchant,
made complaint to the railroad commis
sion to-day that the rates on merchan
dise to Daw’son from Atlanta and Mari
etta were higher than from the same
points to Albany’, and that Dawson's rate
to Savannah -on- cotton was out- of propor
tion to the distance as compared with the
rate from Albany. The first class rate
from Atlanta to Dawson is 89 cents and
from Albany is 68 cents, although Albany
is nine miles farther. The cotton rate
from Dawson to Savannah. 330 miles is
40% cents and from Albany. 208 miles, 33
oents. Mr. E. H. Hinton, traffic manager,
and W. A. Winburn, general freight
agent of the Central railway, and M. A.
Pope, general freight and passenger agent
of the Georgia and Alabama railway, who
are in the city, offered to equalize the
rates by cutting 7 cents from the Dawson
rate and adding 11 cents to the. Albany
rale from Atlanta on first-class goods,
with other classes in proportion. They
proposed to reduce the Dawson cotton rate
to 38 cents. Judge Griggs and the Daw
son committee declined to accept that
settlement, as they were fighting for
state railway service for Dawson and not
against Albany.
The commission heard the case to-day,
and issued an order requiring the rail
roads to remove the discrimination and
submit new rates for approval. This will
allow the railroads to equalize on their
own plan, so long as they do not exceed
the maximum rate, and they will equalize
actually on a higher average.
CROPS OF THE STATE.
The Condition This Meek, Say* the
Bureau, 1 * Very I'. lie mi run 1 11 j-\
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—The government
crop bulletin for the week says to-day:
The reports from our correspondents this
week are by far the most encouraging of
the present season. One can almost see
the smile of satisfaction on the counte
nance of each as he writes out his report.
Asa rule, all crops are in excellent condi
tion, and the yield of each is large.
With a good crop of wheat saved and
demanding exceptionally remunerative
prices, and the bright outlook of crops
now in the field, there seems to be a very
decided wave of prosperity sweeping over
the farmers of Georgia. At present cot
ton is growing well and is now being pick
ed in good condition, w hile a large early
corn crop has been saved, and the' late
crop bids fair to return even a greater
yield.
The rains of a short time ago, which
were so bitterly complained of. have prov
ed to be “blessings in disguise," for they
have been followed by abundant warm
sunshine, and all vegetation has made
rapid advance. All crops now bid fair to
give large returns, and the general out
loow seem.- uncommonly bright. All that
Is now needed is continued warm weather
und plenty of sunshine, interspersed with
occasional showers, and the farmers of
Georgia will reap a rich and abundant
harvest this year.
Under the Influence of plenty of sun
shine, ihe seasonable temperature, coming
as it has after good rains, all crops have
done remarkably well. In the southern di
vision of ihe state fodder pulling is about
ov r and cotton picking has lieen pushed
and is progressing rapidly. The condi
tions of ihe weather during the past week
have been most favorable for this branch
of farm work. There are a good many
complaints of rust, but it is plainly shown
that a good crop is still assured. It is
thought there will be a short top crop this
year on old uplands.

Drowning nt ItrnuNwiek Denied.
H’avcross, Aug. 31.—W. Newton Jones,
brother of Country Treasurer J. A. Jones
of this city’, who was at Brunswick Sun
day afternoon with Charlie Bailey, the
young man who was drowned, arrived
home last night. Mr. Jones this morning
made the following statement of the sad
affair:
"J went to Brunswick early Sunday
morning with my brother-in-law. Mose
Brinson. In the afternoon, Frank Bailey
tno relation to Charlie Bailey). Charlie
Bailey and myself were drinking freely of
whisky. We concluded to have some fun
and it was agreed that Charlie Bailey
should go after three fast women of his
acquaintance and we wou.d take them on
a boat ride up the river. Charlie and the
three women came down to the boats
just above the Brunswick and Western
warehouse, where Frank Bailey and I
were waiting. Charlie and one of the
girls took my dog and got in one boat and
Frank Bailey and myself and two girls
got in another boat. We had some liquor
in both boats anil till of us, ineltiding the
women, were drinking. We pulled off our
coals, rowed up river about a mile and a
half or two miles, and then started back
on ottr return trip.
"We were having a hilarious
time. Our hosts at about dusk
were about iifty yards apart when
I Sit w Charlie Bailey tumble over
into the river. His girl companion
screamed, and I rowed our boat quickly
lo where Charlie’s iioat was. We waited
some time to see If Charlie would rise,
and he did not. Finally we returned sad
hearted to the Standard Oil Company's
wharf and left our boats. We look Char
lie's coat and carried it to Smilh’s hotel,
where we w’ere stopping, and the wo
men, after getting out of the boats, re
turned to their place* of abode.
“(in reaching town we told all we knew
of Charlie’s death. I never saw the wo
men, and do not know where they live
nor do I know their names. When Mr.
Lott reached Brunswick yesterday morn
ing I met him and assisted him as best
I could in finding out the facts of the
drowning, r came home last night be
cause i thought I could do no service in
the search for the body, as all hope of
recovering it seemed to have been given
up. lwas surprised this morning to see
the false report from Brunswick, stating
that 1 would probably be arrested on a
charge of having been responsible for
Charlie’s death. I have stated all the
facts in the case that I have knowledge
of. *‘W. N. Jones.’’
J. A. Ixitt on his return this morning
from Brunswick, where lie spent yester
day and last evening making thorough in
vestigation of the Charlie Bailey case,
was asked for a statement, and what he
said fully corroborated the statement
made by W. N. Jones.
Mr. Lott said he knew nothing of the
charges made by the Brunswick Times,
and he believed that Jones had nothing
at all to do with Charlie Bailey's death.
He expressed himself as being thoroughly
satisfied that Charlie was accidentally
drowned, and ttiat there was no foul play.

well as could be expected. It is too early
yet to say what the Issue will be as Dr.
Wright is in a iow state physically, but
tlie whole community is filled with solici
tude for his recovery.
As has already been told irt these dis
patches, the board of education at a for
mer meeting voted to discontinue the
negro high school, and devote the money

meeting refused to reconsider this action.
To-day it is stated by some of the lead
ing negroes that the matter will be car
ried into the courts, and Judge Callaway
will be asked to issue a mandamus, com
pelling the board to open the school as a
matter of legal right. The case will prove
an interesting one if it comes to trial.

ried to-night to Mr. William P. Bryant
by Rev. William Dunbar.
It is announced to-day In Augusta, by
Col. Phillips of Louisville that Louisville

St Augustine. Fla., Aug. 31.—This after
noon a city council committee of two,
leading a detail of men with saws and
axes, moved upon th? hanging balcony of
a large building being erected by Con
tractor Leonard for Right Rev. Bishop
Moore as Catholic diocesan property, op
posite the postofllce. Rev. Father Maher
stopped the apparent vandalism of the
committee by inteniosing his feet with
those of Contractor Leonard's between
the obstructing balcony and the tools of
the aldermanic detail. This heroic act de
feated the men, and they moved off amid
cheers and ’’hootings” by the immense
crowds gathered. The committee return
ed reinforced by the town marshal and
tiolice. This had the effect of nearly pro
ducing a riot, as the workmen hacked
their employer, and the people seemed
with the police and contractor.
Contractor Leonard was twice taken be
fore a police judge within as many hours,
and released to appear to-morrow.
Deputy Sheriff Andrew thought it nec
essary to appear on the scene with a
drawn gun to prevent a possible riot.
Public opinion is that Bishop Moore and
the contractor are not violating the city
ordinances. A raiding of the building is
expected to-night, and the aldermen with
the police and Father Maher with the
contractor and legal advice are doing
watch.
Excitement is high.

Alcidialia furnished the surprise of the
day by winning the 2:12 Irot in straight
heats. In the field Grace Hastings was
picked out to win the race, but she was
not in the best of moods. In the second
heat, after starting far behind, she closed
up the gap and gave the winner a hot
chase to the wire.
The 3-year-olds furnished three spirited
finishes, but there was an impression that
American Bell, the winner, had a few
