Hyde Delacy Got III* ‘inn ami Dealt
Death to Armour Riley—l Deed
Arouanl Him From Hi* Drunken
Condition. and Hr Hut the Other
Load Into Himself—An Alabama
Town Greatly Stirred l 1> Over the
Sad Affair.
Columbus, Ga., Jan. 30.-A telegram re
ceived in this city to-day from Hatche
chuboee, Aia., brought the sad intelli
gence of a double tragedy, which was en
acted at that place Saturday night. It
states briefly that Hyde Dolacy hail shot
and killed Armour Riley and had th. n
taken ha; own life a few moments after
ward.
From all that could be learned of the
particulars of the affair it stems that a
party of young people had b* en indulging
In snow-telling during the day. Deiaty
became offended at something Kiley had
said, and while the tw'o were in a store
at night the subject was brought up by
Deiacy. Riley attachtd no importance
to the matter and took it as a joke.
Delacy was terribly in earnest, however,
for about 11 o'clock at night, when Riley
started home, he went into the store, anil
securing a gun he tired one barrel at the
young man, who fell and expired in a few
minutes. Delacy was drinking at the time,
but his rash act seemed to sober him
up, and he at once realize what he had
done. Going back into the store, he shot
himself in the neck. He lingered about
two hours after the tragedy, when deaih
came to his relief.
Both young men are of good family and
stand high In the community. Riley was
a son of Mr. T. P. Riley of Russell coun
ty, and was about 24 years old. Delacy
was a nephew of J. M. Delacy, a well
known merchant and farmer of Hatche
thubbee. He was about 38 years old and
unmarried. The sad tragedy cast a g.oom
over the entire community, where the par
ties resided, and much sympathy is felt
for the families of the two men.
WEALTHY WOMAN A SHCIUE.
Threw Herself Into the Ocean nt
Atlantic City, S, J.
Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 30.—Mrs. Wil
liam J. Mayer, aged 31 years, wife of a
wealthy wholesale tobacco dealer of Lib
erty street, Pittsburg, committed suicide
to-day by jumping into the ocean from
Young'a pier, at the end of Tennessee
avenue.
Mrs. Mayer has been here about ten days
in the hope of improving her health. There
seems to be no doubt that her ill heaJth
produced melancholia and prompted her
to end her life.
Mr. Mayer has been telegraphed for and
will arrive to-morrow.
The fatal leap was taken shortly after
the noon hour. Mrs. Mayer and her maid,
Miss M. E. Horn, had been on the pier for
sOme time, and were on their way to the
Ilomehursl Hotel, where they were stoi>-
ping. Mrs. Mayer was apparently In good
spirits. About midway on the pier the
maid turned to look at a distant object
when she heard a rustle of skirts, and
turning about again saw Mrs. Mayer
throw herself against the rail, and by a
deliberate movement unbalance herself so
that she fell headlong into the sea.
Mrs. Mayer uttered no sound as she
fell and made no struggle to keep afloat.
A boat was lowered and the body brought
ashore. Doctors were at hand, but after
an hour's work there was no signs of re
suscitation. The stomach yielded no more
than a pint of water and, the inference Is
that the shock from the cold water killed
the woman almost Instantly.
Previous to her arrival here she had been
under treatment for nervous prostration
at a private sanitarium In Philadelphia.
SMALL-POX ABOUT CHECKED.
Surgeon Wertenbaker to Go to Jones
and Jasper Comities.
■Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 30.—The spread of
small-pox in three or four counties, which
threatened at one time to be serious, Is
believed to be effectually checked, the
Governor to-day receiving encouraging re
ports from all Infected points.
Surgeon Wertenbaker of the United
States Marine Hospital Corps Is expected
to-morrow. He has been detailed to in
vestigate the small-pox eases and will act
under the direction of Gov. Candler.
The Governor stated that it had been his
intention to send Dr. Wertenbaker to De
catur county, but since receiving the en
couraging report from that section this
afternoon, he instructed the surgeon to
report here in Atlanta. He will probably
Bfe sent to Jones and Jasper counties.
OFFICERS ORDERED TO CUBA.

ment, the Fifth Infantry.

now solely as a general hospital.

Boston, Ga., Jan. 30.—F. M. Smith, who
lives four miles south of Bosion, commit
ted suicide early this morning by shoot
ing himself with a double-barreled shot
gun by placing the gun upon a trunk and
putting the muzzle against his chin,
blowing the greater part of his head off.
He leaves a wife and nine little' child
ren. Mr. Smith has attempted suicide lie
fore by the poison route but after heroic
work the physicians brought him around
nguin. He has been in very bad health
and this is thought to have been the
cause of his terrible deed.

ELOPED IN A BREAD BASKET.
Him Lord Compton Stole Din Sweet
-11 curt From Home.
Alice Dryden, describing Compton Wyn
gates, in Pall Mall Gazette.
The story runs that Lord Compton fell
in love with the only child of Sir John
Spencer, one of the most opulent of Lon
don's merchant princes, proverbially known
at the time as "Rich Spencer.” Sir John
by no means approved of the advances of
the young courtier, and positively refused
his consent to the marriage; the course of
true love, however, never running smooth,
Lord Compton devised a plan to outwit
Sir John and rarry off his lady love. A
bribe to the baker enabled him to disguise
himself and deliver the loaves one morn
ing; as soon as the basket was emptied
the lady got In, and Lord Cofhpton was
boldly carrying his precious load down
stairs, when he was met by Sir John, who,
luckily not recognizing him, gave him a
six-pence as a reward for being so early,
observing that that was the way to thrive.
On discovering the truth Sir John was so
angry that he disinherited his (laughter,
and the quarrel was only made up through
the intervention of Queen Elizabeth, who
invited him to stand sponsor with her for
a child, whom she promised to adopt—to
find that it w>as his own grandson.
ODD TALE OF A STUD.
Grocer Lost It and It Was Found In
a Bice Padding;.
From the Philadelphia Press.
New Haven, Conn., Jan, 27.—John Hugo,
a State street grocer, lost and recovered
a S2OO diamond stud recently in the most
peculiar manner on record. He has been
short of clerks for several weeks and
has assisted in weighing out his gro
ceries. He missed his stud and was un
able to obtain trace of it till Henry
Fresenius, the brewer, ooolly walked
into his store, and, handing him a dia
mond stud, asked him if that was his.
“Where did you get it?” gasped Hugo.
"We found it in a rice pudding, and
as we bought the rice of you we thought
it might be yours,” was the answer.
The stone was found several days ago.
Mr. Fresenius was unable to account
for its presence in the pudding till his
wife suggested that as the grocery- stock
came from Hugo’s the diamond might
belong to him.
BRIDGES WAS CONVICTED.

Rome, Ga., Jan. 30.—The Jury in the case
of W. M. Bridges reached a verdict at 3:30
o'clock this afternoon. They found him
guilty with a recommendation that he be
punished as for a misdemeanor.
Maj. Fouche, one of the counsel for the
defense, served notice that he would ask

will hear it in the morning at 8:30 o'clock.
This is the third trial and the second
conviction of Bridges. He was found
guilty once before and sentenced to five
years In the penitentiary. None of the
jury were for acquittal, but remained out
from Saturday night until to-day on the
form of the verdict.
THE RATE WAR ON TO STAY.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30.—The cotton rate
war to Southern and Eastern points in
augurated a few days ago by the Seaboard
Air Line’s out of fifty per cent, and then
followed by an additional cut from the
same road of five cents per hundred
pounds, is here to stay, a joint cotton
tariff having teen issued by the South
eastern Freight Association making rates
perthanent and regular, beginning to-mor
row.
Cotton was moved from Atlanta to Liv
erpool Saturday on a rate of 39 per cent.,
four'cents cheaper than cotton was haul
ed under the old rate from Atlanta to
Brunswick or Savannah.

Augusta, Ga., Jan. 30.—The case brought
to oust Judge W. F. Eve from his office
of commissioner of roads and revenues cf
Richmond county, was to-day decided by
Judge Brinson in favor of Judge Eve.
The bill was brought on the ground of
the unconstitutionaliiy of the act under
which Judge Eve holds both offices. Judge
Brinson decides that the act was not
shown to be unconstitutional and refuses
the petition of ouster.
RESULT OF A RATE WAR.
One Transportation Line Absorbed
by Another Near Rome.
Rome, Ga., Jan. 30.—The White
Star Steamboat line absorbed to
day the Coosa River Transportation
Cos., operating the Willie Wagnon. The
consolidation is the result of a bitter rate
war which has been on for several months
and which x was sapping the resources of
both companies. Cotton has been hauled
from Gadsden to Rome for 10 cents per
bale.

THE ATLANTA COMPANY WINS.
DREW FIRST BLOOD IN THE FIGHT
OVER FRANCHISES.
Judge Candler Refuses the Petition
of the Consolidated for Injunction,
Another Fight in the Case Yet to
Come—A Painter Hun Down liy a
Train—Supreme Court May Call
Eastern Circuit Friday—A New
Railroad.
Atlanta, Jan. 30.—The Atlanta Railway
Company to-day won first blood In the
fight with the Consolidated over the west
side franchise. Judge John S. Candler pre
siding in Fulton Superior Court refusing
to grant the injuction prayed for by T.
P. Perkins to prevent the company from
taking up these franchises.
Perkins made hts appearance in the fight
as a stockholder of the Atlanta company,
and began the injunction proceedings on
the ground that such an extension of the
company’s lines would injure the value of
his stock, If not bankrupt the whole con
cern.
It was quite conclusively demonstrated
in the proceedings that the Consolidated
people were behind Perkins, putting up the
money with which his stock was purchas
ed, and arranging all the details of the in
junction suit, even to employing the law
yers and having the bill drawn up ready
for the signature of Perkins before that
gentleman knew that he was to be used.
In other words, he was shown to be a mere
catspaw for the Consolidated, trying to
pull chestnuts out of the fire for that cor
poration. Perkins got his fingers burned
of course, but it appears that the Consol
idated has also received a slight scorch
ing. While the case has been In the
courts, a hundred columns or more of
newspaper card-writing has been indulged
ip by both sides.
There Is still another branch of the
fight before the Superior Court, this being
the bill filed direct by the Consolidated
rteopie to defeat the west side franchises.
This bill was thrown out of United States
Court by Judge Newman, and the chances
are against the Consolidated when It comes
to a hearing in the state court.
Killed by a Train.
James Gann, a painter living at 99 Hum
phries street, was run down and billed by
an accommodation train on the Atlanta
and West Point Railroad at the McDaniel
street crossing this morning.
Gann had been to town and was riding
back toward West End on a Southern
Railway train, from which he had just
alighted when run down by the West Point
accommodation, which was on another
track. Gann leaves a wife and five chil
dren.
He was taken to the Grady Hospital aft
er the accident, where he lived for several
hours, but was unable to make a state
ment.
Supreme Court In Session.
The Supreme Court convened this morn
ing with a full tench, the three justices
who have been under the weather for the
past two or three weeks having regained
their health again. Chief Justice Sim
mons and Justice Lumpkin returned from
Florida the latter part of last' week and
Justice Cobb came over from his home at
Athens, where he has been recuperating,
this morning.
It is stated by authority of the court this
afternoon that the Eastern circuit would
not be called before Friday. There Is a
possibility that it will not be reached be
fore Monday.
New Railroad to Be Built.
A petition was filed to-day with the sec
retary of state for a charter for the Tenn
essee and Round Mountain Railroad Com
pany. The capital stock is $50,000. Twelve
miles of railroad will be constructed from
