NEW MISSION WORK IN CUBA.
BAPTISTS OF GKO HO I A PROPOSE TO
LEAD IX THE NB\Y FIELD.
Br. Henry YloDonuld of Atlanta
Speak* at the Meeting of the Stone
Xloantnin Association—Resolution
Introduced and t nnniinously
Adopted Recommending: That s•><*,-
000 lie Raised for tlie Work-Dr.
McDonald Fays Hi* Respects to
Archbishop Ireland's Remarks to
the President, and Spoke of the
Heligions of t üba and Porto Hieo.
Atlanta. Ga„ Sept. B.—The Baptists of
Georgia propose lo lead the new mission
work in Cuba. At the meeting of the
Stone Mountain Association to-day a res
olution, by Dr. Henry McDonald, pastor
of the Second Baptist Church of Atlanta,
recommending that $50,000 be raised by the
Southern Baptists for the mission work
in Cuba and Porto Kico, was unanimously
adopted.
This followed a notable speech, deliv
ered yesterday afternoon by Dr. McDon
ald, in which he paid his respects to Arch
bishop Ireland and his remarks to Presi
dent McKinley, that Cuba's religious
needs were provided for. Rlr. McDonald’s
speech is likely to attract attention and
cause comment throughout the country.
The subject of missions was under dis
cussion, and Mr. McDonald spoke of the
religions of Cuba and Porto Rico. Referr
ing to the published statement that Arch
bishop Ireland recently called on Presi
dent McKinley and said that the religious
needs of Cuba and Porto Rico were well
cared for and that there was no need for
the efforts of "some people" lo evangel
ize the islands, Dr. McDonald said, in
substance: "If the religion they have
can’t do any more for them than 1t has
done, they need another kind. If it can t
do anything more to banish illiteracy and
elevate the condition of the people than
it has done for the masses of the
people in Cuba, they ought to have a re
ligion that will do more for them in this
respect. They need enlightenment and the
blessings of religious and civil liberty,
which are found where true religion pre
vails. We propose to send them missiona
ries to teach this religion and under the
blessing of God it will spread. I wish it to
be understood that in saying this, I have
no unkind feeling for Catholics, I was rais
ed a Catholic and have the deepest sym
pathy for them. I know how they are rais
ed and how they are taught. I have noth
ing against the individuals, but right
thinking is not encouraged by the system
of the Catholic Church and its work does
not elevate the condition of the natives
where it has control. There is Spain, the
best beloved of the Catholic Church, the
land of the inquisition. On the eve of the
recent war, the Pope stretched out his
trembling hands in benediction upon her,
but it availed her nothing when her ships
and armies met the American guns. It was
a remarkable providence which guided Col
umbus to the West Indies. He had sailed
for North America, and was heading for
the Virginia coast when he saw the flight
of birds to the South. He thought the birds
knew better than he did where to find land
and he followed their course. It took him
to the West Indies and there he
landed, and took possession in the
name of Spain and the Catholic Church.
So it came that the best part of North
America was peopled by an English speak
ing race and not by Spaniards. Spain col
onized the West Indies and the South
American countries.
After centuries of misrule she has lost all
her possessions and like the last rose of
summer, she is left blooming alone. I
have no doubt that In one way or another
Cuba will become a state ih the American
union. When we first began mission work
there, it was put under the home mission
board. I thought it was a foreign country
and should be under the foreign board, but
coming events cast their shadows before
them and it will remain under the home
board.”
CHAIRMAN BELCHER SAYS IT IS SO.
Colored He|>nhltcnn-Foi>nli*t Ho**
Thinks Money YYill Bent Brantley.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. B.—E. R. Belcher,
colored, chairman of the Republican dis
trict executive committee, confirmed to
day’s dispatch from Atlanta in the Morn
ing News regarding the Republicans’ at
titude toward the Eleventh district.
Ho says the Republicans are going to
concentrate all the strength against Con
gressman Brantley, and that they are to
receive the support of the Populists. Money
and speakers are to be turned loose in
order to defeat Brantley, and they be
lieve this will be done.
Belcher says that ever since it has been
In their power the Republicans have been
giving the Populists postoffices and other
wise helping them, and tnat now they ex
pected and would receive their unqualified
help in the defeat of Brantley.
Congressman Brantley says: "The
shameless trading be!ween the Populists
and Republicans seems to have awakened
the Democrats to a realization as to what
rests upon them, and they are preparing
to put down the fusion underneath a moun
tain of ballots. lam not as near as tp
prehensive over the result as the dispatch
from Atlanta seems to indicate that my
friends on the committee are, for I be
lieve the Democrats will work and crush
this fusion at the polls.”
COLLISION AT EVEHETT CITY'.
Two Engine* Hun Together in n
Blinding Rainfall.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. B.—lt rained so
hard for several minutes at Everett City
to-day that a person could not see ten feet
ahead.
Asa consequence of this remarkable
condition, two engines collided and
smashed things up generally, but killed

ed, and obscured everything around.
A freight train engine came bowling
along, and a switch engine ran directly up
against it before eilher engineer discov
ered that a train was anywhere near.

fast, and no one was killed or seriously
injured.

Atlanta. Ga., Sept. B.—J. W. Brown of
Atlanta was this afternoon elected presi
dent of the I'niied States Railway Mail
Service Mutual Benefit Association. Mr.
Brown's opponent in the contest for the
presidential honor was Mr. Charles C.
Hilton of Sun Francisco.
Wallace Rhodes of Atlanta made a forc
ible address for Hilton and against Brown.
He di<l not disparage the Atlanta man, but
feared that if a man of the fourth divis
ion were elected that he world-at-large
would think the presidency was given in
exchange for courtesies during the con
vention. Mbmbers of the other divisions
advocating the election of Mr. Brown said
they knew no Southerner expected reward
for his hospitality, but that Brown should
be president "whether Or no" upon his
owti merits, and without reference to the
division to which he belongs. On ballot
ing, Mr. Brown was elected. Mr. Brown
received 107 votes and Mr. Hilton 73.
The salary of the secretary was raised
from $1,20(11 to $1,501 per year, and SSO each

ALL LEAVE FE RN AN DIN A.
Fifth Ohio Regiment Departs for
Cleveland to Muster Out.
Fernantjina, Fla., Sept. B.—The Fifth
Ohio Regiment, the last to leave Feman
dina, left to-day on three sections for
Cleveland, 0., where they will be mustered
out of service. To say that the men were
glad would be putting it mildly, although
the officers of this regiment were very
anxious to serve under Gen. Lee and did
make every effort to accomplish this end.
The regiment broke camp yesterday and
loaded their equipment, which went for
ward last night, leaving them with only
their ponchas, blankets and travel rations,
and they were forced to sleep in a heavy
rain last night, and when day dawned they
were overjoyed to get their cars and get
Into them.
The wrecking tug North America, with
a dredge in tow, arrived last night, and is
now at work raising the sunken hospital
ship Olivett. Divers are at work closing
her coal bunkers, ports and dead-eyes,
which were all open, and as soon us this
is done they will edge the vessel into shal
low water and pump her out.
The division hospital has been moved
from the camp, and several buildings in
town to the Strathmore Hotel on the beach
whf re it is thought the cool and refresh
ing breezes will enable the sick to quicker
recovery, and make them more comforta
ble.
PASSENGERS INCONVENIENCED.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. B.—The yellow fever
quarantine regulations being enforced in
the Southwest have not yet seriously in
terfered with railroad traffic, but persons
traveling in some of the states are put
to inconvenience.
The Southern Railroad officials have
been advised that Greenville, Miss., re
quires health certificates.
The State authorities of Alabama have
notified the roads that passengers will be
required to furnish certificates that they
have not been in an infected district in

town is absolutely cut off from tlie world
so far as outsiders ate concerned.
Officials of the Central of Georgia Rah
way have been advised that no tickets can

No persons will be allowed to ride on

This does not apply to mixed trains.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN SUITER.
A YVliite Farmer Kills a Negro La
borer and Flees.
Americus, Ga., Sept B.—The sixth bloody
tragedy enacted in Sumter county within
the past thirty days occurred last night
when Dink Frazier, a white farmer, shot
and instantly killed Charles Fuller, a ne
gro laborer.
From all accounts the killing seems to
have been without provocation. Fuller
had driven Frazier’s team to Americus
with a load of cotton. Frazier accused
the negro of misusing, the mules, and or
dered him off his place, at the same lime
shooting three bullets into him.
Tlie negro had no weapon when the cor
oner searched hie body to-day. Frazier
is reported to have gone to parts un
known.
This tragedy occurred very near the
scene of the recent double murder of Mrs.
Mary McGarrah and James Boone, ami
the lynching of their murderer, Hump
Welllss.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY'. SEPTEMBER 9, 189a
M’CULLOUGH GIVES BOND.
ACCIIsED OF MI’RDEKING HIS WIFE
OVER TWO YEARS AGO.
Judge SinDli, Presiding for Judge
Candler at Jonesboro, Allows Him
to Be Released as the State Was
Not Beady for Trint and He Hnil
Been Incarcerated Since the Al
leged Murder Occurred—.fudge
Candler Had Previously Denied
Him Hail—Much Bitter Feeling
Still Existing Over the Affair—Vir
tual Abandonment of Prosecution.
Jonesboro, Ga., Sept. B.—Judge C. C.
Smith, presiding in the place of Judge
Candler, granted an order admitting John
R. McCollough, the alleged Clayton coun
ty wife murderer, to bail in the sum of
$3,(00. His brother-in-law imemdiately
signed the paperes and he was released
from custody after having spent two years
behind the bars and undergoing two trials
for his life. Upon both trials the jury
failed to agree.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, represented
McCollough, and it was mainly to his
great efforts that he secured his release,
which is regarded as a virtual abandon
ment of the prosecution.
The state was not ready to proceed with
his trial when it was caleld to-day, hav
ing been unable to secure any aditional
testimony, which the solicitor believed
would tend to strengthen the proof of his
guilt. It was upon this showing that
Judge Smith granted the motion to admit
the prisoner to bail, which motion had
been previously denied by Judge Candler.
The kiliing of Mrs. McCullough, whose
family is one of the most influential in
Clayton county, occurred in the summer
of 1396. According to McCullough's story,
she went out early in the morning to pick
blackberries for breakfast, he having al
ready preceded her to the field. He re
turned to the house and found her absent
and went out lo hunt her. He found her
lying in a fence corner dead, her brains
having been beaten out with a bludgeon.
McCullough was connected with the hor
rible crime by reason of the fact that the
bludgeon used was a wagon standard
taken from his wagon. There was great
public excitement over the crime, and
threats of lynching McCullough were so
rampant that he had to be taken to At
lanta for safe keeping. He has always
maintained his innocence, declaring he
believed some tramp had murdered his
wife. An effort was made to show a mo
tive for the killing of his wife by McCul
lough alleging improper relalions between
him ami another womun in the neighbor
hood. There is still much bitter feeling
over the casorfn Clayton county, and upon
the release of the prisoner to-day it was
feared for a while that there would be
serious trouble with members of the dead
woman's family.
ATLANTA’S NEYV DEPOT.
City Attorney' Preparing: tlie Com
plaints to Be Presented.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. B.—A meeting of the
special committee of Council, appointed
to prosecute the railroads entering At
lanta for the purpose of compelling them
to give better depot facilities, was held
this afternoon.
The city attorney was directed to pre
pare and form complaints to be present
ed to the State Railroad Commission.
When the roads declined to participate
in a conference with the city officials on
the depot subject it was determined to
take it up and fight it to the bitter end,
and the railroad commission was selected
as the tribunal to umpire the bout.
City Attorney Anderson. stated to the
committee that there was no doubt that
Ihe Railroad Commission has the right
to force the railroads to give adequate
depot facilities, the Supreme Court hav
ing only recently decided that point. A
union depot cannot, however, be compell
ed and the complaints will be directed
against each road severely, the theory be
ing that each can be forced to furnish
adequate depot facilities. It is supposed
that if the commission holds the present
depot to be inadequate and orders the
various roads to give proper accommoda
tions for the traveling public, they will
then get together and decide upon anew
union station, to tie located either where
the present one stands or at some other
point.
The difficulty about anew depot on the
present site is that the space is too
small in the first place, and next, the
property belongs lo the state. The roads
would hardly feet like building anew pas
senger station suited to the city’s needs
on the state’s ground, but it may be that
legislation can be secured which will sim
plify the situation in case the roads pre
for the present site. There are a great
many people in Atlanta, however, who
would like to see the site moved, as the
crossings are right in the heart of the
city and dangerous nuisances.
AFTER TAX DODGERS.
Holders of YVest Point Debentures
May Have to Coate I p.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. B.—Attorney General
Terrell has held that holders of the Atlan
ta and West Point debentures will have
to pay taxes on them, and already pro
ceedings have begun here to compel local
bidders to come up with their dues. Fol
lowing close upon the opinion of the attor
ney general, attorneys representing sever
al local tax payers to-day filed a bill in
the Superior Court to compel the tax as
sessors of the city to place these deben
tures on the tax hooks so that the holders
may lie made to pay their tax upon them.
A schedule of the holdings here is attach
ed lo the bill which shows that SIOI,OOO of
tlie debenutres are held in Atlanta.
The allegation in the bill is that the fail
ure of the tax assessor to subject these se
curities to taxation has increased the bur
den of taxation upon other property own
ers.
Judge Lumpkin has set the matter for
hearing on Sept. 20. If he upholds the at
torney general, holders of thet-e deben
tures ,who have heretofore escaped inly
ing taxes upon them, will have to come
across like other people. There are a good
many of these securities held in other
parts of the state, and this makes the
case here of general interest, especially as
it marks a step in the direction of hunt
ing out the army of tax dodgers against
whom a cry has been going up al lover the
stale.

ton in the Orlando Jail.
Orlando, Fla., Sept. S.—A few days ego
a report was sent from here of the inhu
man treatment of a young woman near
Gabriella, about ten miles east of this
place. She has been here for two or three
days in charge of Sheriff Anderson.
Yesterday the sheriff went out to that
section and arrested Benjamin Newton,
and the young man is now confined in
jail.
The young woman goes by the name of
Dona Self. She has for months lived with
Newton's mother. She charges Newton
with being the author of her trouble, and
says that on the morning of the birth of
her child, she was driven away from the
Newton home. She was delivered while at
the bonk of a creek. She scooped out a
place in the moist earth, and made a. bed
of swamp moss, placing the child in it,
and covering it with the same material.
She then went back to the house and
told Newton what had happened. He told
her to throw the infant into the creek, and
threatened her life if she made him any
trouble.
In the afternoon of the following day, the
child was found, still alive, although ex
posed to hot sun, flies and mosquitos for
about twenty-seven hours.
The child lived but a short time after it
was found.
It was several days before the facts’were
known to the neighbors.
Newton declares his innocence.
The case is set for a hearing on Monday,
next.
