TH REPEALED
BI HOUSE
MONDAY
REPUBLICANS ANO DEMOCRATS
SHOUTED, APPLAUSE WHEN
BILL WAS READ AND VOTE
TAKEN.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS.—There was a
large attendance on the floor of the house
and galleries yesterday in anticipation of
the debate on the bill to repeal the war
revenue taxes.
The chaplain in his invocation prayed
that the life of Representative Sheppard,
of Texas, who is dangerously 11L might
be spared.
After some minor business had been
cleared away Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsyl
vania. from the committee on rutes. pre
sented the special order agreed npon by
that committee. Mr. Dalzell explained
the effect of the rule. ' This measure, he
said, was presented to redeem a pledge
made when the war revenue taxes were
Imposed that when the necessity for them
ceased they would be repealed. This was
a measure on which, he took it. there
was practically unanimity of sentiment
on both sides of the house. It was a
simple repeal measure and it was deemed
wise that it should be brought to a vote
without complication on the extraneous
issues.
’ At the conclusion of this brief state
ment. Mr. Dalzell yielded thirty minutes
to Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, also of
the committee on rules.
The Alabama member protested against
the rule, not because, he said, it provided
for the consideration of a biJi to reduce
the taxation, but because it prevented ln-<
dividual members from exercising their
own Judgment or carrying ont the wishes
Os thetr constituents as to what portion of
the excessive taxes Miould be repealed. As
an instance of a tax which it was not ad
visable to repeal he cited the Inheritance
tax. a tax which, he said, was levied on
a class that was not reached by other tax
ation.
Mr. Underwood said he did not think a
general tariff revision should be made, be
cause it would unsettle present conditions
and might lead to disorder. He referred
to the stagnation In business which ex
isted pending the enactment of both the
Wilson and Dtngiey bill to support his
Statement. He thought the proper method
of reducing duties at this time was
through reciprocity agreements made in
pursuance of congressional enactment and
he sent to the clerk's desk and had read
an amendment representing his ideas in
this particular.
The rule was adopted 158 to IM There
upon. Mr. Richardson, the minority lead
er, arose.
“I arise to make a request for unani
mous consent,” said he. "In view of the
fact that we are not permitted to amend
the pending bill and in view of the fact
that two days* debate is absolutely fruit
less under this rule, I ask unanimous con
sent that the Mil be put upon its passage
now." (Applause on both sides).
Members looked at each other with
amazement. Not a sound was heard.
"There is no objection." announced
the Speaker as he brought his gavel down.
"Tho clerk will read the bilh”
Both sides of the house joined in the
ringing applause that followed. - ;
The verbal committee amendments to
the bfll were agreed to and the ayes and
nays were taken on Its passage.
The bill to repeal the war taxes was
passed unanimously by the house, 278
members voting aye.
SANTOS undaunted;
WILL BUILD NEW SHIP
NEW YORK. Feb. 17.—M. Santos Du
mont is already at work preparing his
plans for the rebuilding of his airship
wrecked on his last attempt to cross the
Mediterranean, says a Journal and Amer
ican dispatch from Monaco. Efforts to
grapple his motor, the sinking of which
was the most serious loss of the disas
trous attempt, have all failed and he has
ordered a new and more powerful one.
That he will ultimately cross the sea Is
regarded here as a certainty, for only his
death will stop him. Though he was
near to death from drowning, from being
smothered in the silken folds of his col
lapsed balloon and from being burned to
dedth by the igniting of oil* he uses for
fuel, his peril seems to have made the
least possible impression on him.
The peril to which he was exposed and
‘ the narrowness of his escape, he dismiss
es with a shrug of his shoulders. But on
the subject of the loss of his motor and
• the delay in his plans caused by that mis
i fortune he is desperately eloquent.

SURGEON’S KNIFE
IS USED TEN
TIMES
MAX OESTREICHER FIGHTS FOR
LIFE AND TAKES DESPERATE
CHANCES FOR RELIEF
FROM MISERY.
Max Oestrelcher, having suffered from
some unknown disease for ten years, has
submitted to the surgeon's knife for the
tenth time in the hope of finding relief.
Dr. W. P. Nicholson performed the oper
ation at Grady hospital.
Whether this last operation has been
successful in removing all the germs of
the dread disease or not is as yet a mat
ter of conjecture. 1
Oestrotcher’s is the strangest of the
many strange cases that have come to the
hospital. Ten years ago he struck his
head on a mantel, and a sore developed.
The bone became diseased, and his head
and face have been gradually eaten away.
From time to time bones have been re
moved in an effort to get all the diseased
portion out of him. but each time the
dread disease appears again. He has been
all over the country in his efforts to find
relief, and has spent a fortune. /
Arriving in Atlanta he determined to
make one last fight. The physicians did
not like to take the case. It seemed hope
less. Oestrelcher persisted, telling them
he would kill himself if they did not try to
save him. Dr. Nicholson at last agreed
to try after telling the patient plainly
that Ms chances were very slight.
The man willingly submitted. Any
chanee or death itself was preferable to
life he had led since the disease had come,
he said. He has displayed more nerve
with bis suffering, even since he has be
come in his miserable condition, than is
usually found even in the bravest men.
Nothing could daunt him. No horror of
death could stop him. He was willing
to die. if he could not be cured, he said.
Max Oestrelcher. with his frontal bone,
two nose bonus, chin bone and left cheek
all removed by the surgeon's knife, con
tentedly occupies a cot in one of the pri
vate rooms at the Grady hospital and
says he la going to get well. And there
is now every indication that he will re
cover from the effects of his last, his
tenth operation.

Besides looking after her business in

FINDING OF KNIFE
MAY SOLVE MYSTERY
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Although no arrests
have been made as yet In the mysterious mur
der of Mrs. Kato Voepel. Friday morning. In
her flat at 129 Christopher street. the police
are elated over finding In the flat a knife for
which they had been searching since Friday
nl fhev believe, too. that they have a valuable
clew in a single black hair found on the
cravat which was held tightly in the dead
woman's hand.
This knife, to which the police attach so
much Importance, la what is known to butch
ers as a bone knife. It has a curved blade,
tour and three-quarters long and pointed.
This knife, which the widow’s late hus
band had used, had done duty later as a
kitchen utensil. The edge IS dull, and the
blade somewhat speckled, but whether with
rust or blood must ba determined by the chem
ists. On the handle are two spots, appar
ently blood stains, and here. too. the chemist
will have to determine whether or not the
stains are those of human blood. Captain. Mar
tens attaches significance to the fact that the
handle appears to have been recently scoured.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1902.
MRS. DUNCAN
HELD FDR
MURDER
SENT FLOWERS TO BE PLACED ON
COFFIN OF THE MAN THAT
SHE SHOT AND
KILLED.
At the inquest over the body of Jatres
Duncan, the policeman shot by his wife,
the coroner’s jury made a verdict
that Mrs. Duncan be held for further in
vestigation. The coroner’s commitment
warrant will charge Mrs. Duncan with
murder.
Mrs. Duncan, after a sleepless night,
was told of her husband’s death just as
the morning light first came streaming in
through the prison bars. All night long
she had paced the floor or groaned aloud
as she lay ofr a tew minutes on her bed.
Mrs. Bohnefield. the police matron, who
has cared tenderly for the prisoner since
she was carried to police headquarters,
was with her all night and neither of the
closed their eyes. When Duncan
died his wife was informed that he could
not get well. It was feared the sudden
shock, if she were told the whole truth,
might kill her. After the long, weary
night, Mrs. Bohnefleld led up to the sub
ject gently and at last said: "You know,
Mr. Duncan is dead, now.”
*'Oh, my God, my God!” rang out
through the prison balls and the woman
mourned herself almost into frenzy. Then
slowly, gradually she became more calm
and talked gently, sweetly of the dead.
“I loved him more than any man I ever
knew,” she said. “He was a good man,
good to me. A bit rough, but he was al
ways tender with me except when drink-
Duncan is now really seriously ill.
Her nervousness and the excited strain to
which she has been subjected have told
upon her terribly. Dr. J. W. Hurt, the
prison physician, was called to her side
early in the day and remained with her
for some time. For the present Mrs. Dun
can will not be transferred to the Tower
as there is no woman attendant there and
the doctor besides has recommended that
she shall not be moved during the dis
agreeable weather. A cold in her present
condition might prove disastrous.
The scene at the inquest was not alto
gether different from similar investiga
tions, and yet there was more of the dra
matic, more of the pathetic, more of the
world's sorrows laid bare at that Tnquest
Monday than the average man will
encounter in a score of years. There was
the bent old father of the dead man, the
son and the relatives of the wife, together
with her attorneys, all mixed in with po
lice officials and detectives. The body of
the dead, during tbe first part of the in
vestigation, was laid out in view of the
jury, and then taken on to the depot to
be carried to its last resting place, As
the jury paused and officers’ hats came off
the body was borne out to the hearse.
Flowers From the Slayer.
On the casket rested la single offering of
flowers, a bunch of white carnations with
maiden hair ferns. The only person of all
the hundred thousand people In Atlanta
who had remembered to send flowers for
the dead policeman’s bier was the wife
who had slain him. All the others, those
who knew him Intimately, those who were
Ms relatives, those who were his associ
ates, all had forgotten, but the woman in
the cell. Che woman who had;loved.-al
though she had killed him, remembered
the flowers he loved and had them sent
for him. There is the whole epic of a wo
man’s strange heart in the perfume of ev
ery one of those carnations resting now on
the breast of the man she killed.
The inquest brought out no testimony
that hate not already been given to the
public. Sergeant Abbott was the first wit
ness to take the stand. He had been
among the first to arrive on the scene of
the tragedy. Ho had Mrs. Duncan taken
in charge and proceeded at once to the
room where Duncan lay shot. The wound
ed man could not be induced to talk, he
testified. He was lying on the flopr with
his head toward the mantel. There was
a pool of blood at the foot of the little
bed. between the two beds. His pistol,
Sergeant Abbott swore, was partially out
of his pocket, like it might have slipped
as he fell, the officer suggested; but At
torney Austin was on his feet at once.
”You don't know that?” he said quickly.
"No, I don't know, of course,” said the
sergeant. "I was not there. I said it looked
like it might have been that way.”
This part of the sergeant's evidence is
considered strong for the defense, as it
has been contended all along that Duncan
tried to draw his pistoL
No post mortem was held to find the
exact location of the bullet, as a probe
showed the ball to have penetrated in a
directly straight line for about four
inches, which places the ball at the base
of the skull. A hard smooth substance
can be felt there with the probe and
about it some shattered pieces. This Is
believed to be the bullet, though it may
be the bone. The fact that the bullet
went in straight, though, and penetrated
in a direct Une for four inches is certain.
This places the ball well behind a line
drawn from ear to ear before the bone
was struck. Whether the ball stopped
there or glanced is a matter of no conse
quence as far as the jury is concerned.
The body of the policeman was carried
to Flowery Branch on the noon train, ac
companied by the family and a special es
cort of policemen appointed by Chief
Ball. The four appointed by the chief to
act as a sneclal escort are Officera Whit
ley, Jett, Shepard and Beaurecoff.
T. H. MALONE DIES ’
OF BRONCHIAL TROUBLE
, T. H. Malone, who was for several years
the head floorwalker at the Chamberlin-
Johnson-Dußose company, and who was
one of the most popular young men in the
city, died Tuesday at 6:30 o’clock at his
room in the Grant hotel.
His death resulted from bronchial troub
le, from which he had been suffering for
some time, having had a particularly se
vere attack about one year ago. He was
desperately ill for several days before his
death and It was believed all day yester
day that there was no hope for saving his
life. »
Mr. Malone was the brother of Mrs.
Charles D. Meador and Frank Malone,
both of Atlanta: of Miss Nellie Malone,
of Calhoun, Ga.. who frequently vis
ited here; of Mrs. Gray, of New York,
and Mrs. Hurt, of Dalton.

THE INSIDE HISTORY
OF A REMARKABLE CASE NOW
PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
Mrs. Nichols Makes a Statement, Tell
ing to the Best of Her Knowledge
the Causes Which Led to
the Trouble.
’ /
The following facts, says the Belfast,
Me., Republican Journal, have never be
fore been published. The Incident caused
much comment at the time and it was
thought worth while to make an investi
gation. With this end in view, a reporter
called upon Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols at her
home in Searsport. Me., and obtained the
following information. She said:
"About six years ago my nerves broke
down completely and my whole system
became a wreck. I suffered dreadfully
from indigestion and my eyes were very
weak. I had frequent fainting spells. Fi
nally my sight failed me entirely and
I had to have my eyes bandaged all the
time, j ‘ '
"This state of affairs," she continued,
"lasted for a year, when I was forced to
go to bed 'and stay there constantly. I
became so weak that I could take only
two tablespoonfuls of milk at a time. I
could not feed myself and sleep was al
most Impossible. This lasted another
year and I was then in such a state of
nervous exhaustion tiiat when my peo
ple wanted to make my bed U>ey could
move me only a few inches at a time. I
had become extremely thin and was still
losing flesh. I had tried nearly all the
medicines in the market, but failed to find
any that helped me.”
"But how were you cured?’ 1 asked the
interviewer..
“I’ll tell you. My condition finally be
came so critical that my family expected
me to die any day, Then my husband
bought some Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People, and three days after I
began taking them I could eat without
assistance, and In a week I could sit up
and be dressed. After I had taken five
boxes I began to gain flesh. I continued
the use of Pink Pills for Pale People until
I had taken ten boxes and was able to
help my family pack up and move to a
new home. After teaching there I took
two more boxes of the pills and I have
been able to work hard and take care of
my family of five people ever since.
"It Is now four years since I stopped
taking medicine and if I ever have to
take any more it will be Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People. Three of my
neighbors have taken the pills with good
results and I positively consider them the
best remedy there |s.”
The above statement was sworn to by
Mrs. Nichols at the reporter’s request be
fore fore Charles F. Adams, a notary pub
lic, at Searspprt.
Not only hive many cases similar to
this been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People but equally wonder
ful results have , been accomplished by
them in a large number of diseases arising
from thin blood or shattered nerves, two
fruitful causes of almost every ill to
which flesh is heir. They are a positive
cure for such diseases as locomotor atax
ia. partial, paralysis. St. Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after-effects of grip, of fe
vers and of other apute diseases, palpita
tion of the heart, pale and sallow com
plexions and all forms of weakness either
in roalfi or fenpal®- ..Dr, Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People are also a specific
for troubles peculiar io females. In men
they effect a radical, cure in all cases aris
ing from worry, or excesses of
whatever nature. J}r. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk) at fifty eents a box
or six boxes for two dollars and fifty
cents, and may be had of all druggists,
or direct by mall from Dr. Williams .Med
icine Company, Schenectady, N. Y'. JBe
sure to get the genuine; substitutes never

GBANADE BOUND OVER
FDR KILLING POPE
MAN WHO SLEW FELLOW STU-
DENT CHARGED WITH CRIME
OF MURDER.
T. J. Granade, the student of the At
lanta Dental College who stabbed Jesse
Pope, a fellow student, from the effects
of which Pope died within twenty hours,
was Monday committed to the Tower by
Judge Edgar H. Orr on the charge of
/murder. Granade had bien committed on
the coroner's warrant, which charged
murder, and hearing Monday was upon
the demand of Granade’s counsel, Attor
ney Albert H. Cox.
The,trial of Granade was attended with
great interest and was witnessed by a
large crowd of people from the beginning
of the trial to the close. The trial lasted
several ours, beginning at 9 o’clock, and
was argued at length by the state and the
defense.
A number of witnesses were summoned
by both sides. The young lady about
whom the trouble originated and on ac
count of whose absence on last Saturday
the case was continued until today, was
not present. Nor was her identity re
vealed.
The testimony of the witnesses was
largely in accord on essential details with
one exception. W. W. McCroquodale,
who was the chief witness for the defense,
testified that he saw knucks in the hand
of Pope and saw him strike Granade a
blow with them on the face. He was giv
en a close cross-questioning by Solicitor
Hill, and the testimony of W. D. Webb,
who was standing near by at. an equal
distance from where the difficulty took
place, was introduced to refute McCorquo
dale’s testimony. Webb testified that he
saw no knucks and did not hear anything
said about knucks until later on.
Solicitor Hill laid great stress on the
fact that McCorquodale was - the room
mate of Granade, and supposed to be an
intimate friend, whereas he maintained
than Webb was a disinterested witness.
As to the circumstances about Granade’s
calling Pope aside and the subsequent
blows there was general agreement. No
one testified to having actually seen the
knucks except McCorquodale.

GUERRY WILL
SPEAK HEBE
FRIMY
MACON’S CANDIDATE FOR GOV-
ERNOR TO ADDRESS VOTERS OF
FULTON COUNTY ON CAM
PAIGN ISSUES.
Hon. DuPont Guerry. tandldate for gov
ernor, announced in Macon Friday that
he would speak in Atlanta Friday night,
at the request of some of his friends here.
The announcement will be received with
great 'delight by the Guerry supporters
here, and by the Terrell men too, as the
latter are very anxious to find out what
Mr. Guerry is saying about himself, and
the other candidates in the race.
Mr. Guerry has been to Atlanta several
times since the campaign opened but he
has not yet favored the Atlanta people
with his views, except through the news
papers. Mr. Guerry is famous the south
over as an orator and when he begins his
campaign speech Friday night there will
no doubt be a large audience’ on hand to
hear him. It is understood that Mr. Guer
ry has agreed to divide time with the oth
er gubernatorial candidates here if they
desire any of the time, but it is not
thought that either Mr. Terrell or Col.
Estill will volunteer to take any of the
time.
The speeches of Mr. Guerry have been,
of late, devoted mainly to lobbyism, the
depot bill, and the control of the state by
corporations. He has not made public
just what line he will assume when he
comes to Atlanta. He can be counted on
to say something interesting, however,
and something that will probably cause
the other candidates to think awhile. It
is likely that a large number of Mr. Guer
ry’s followers from Macon will come to
Atlanta with him to hear him speak and
things will be made lively.
It is announced that Mr. Guerry will
speak in All the large cities of the state
before the campaign is ended. He has
made many speeches in the small towns
but Atlanta is the first town of any im
portance that he has yet decided to speak
in. Mr. Guerry has a number of warm
supporters in Atlanta, and everything
will be done to make his stay in Atlanta a
pleasant one.

KELLOGG SANITARIUM
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Feb. 18.—The
Kellogg, oF’Seventh-Day Adventists’ san
itarium here, which was located on a hill
at the highest point in the city, was de
stroyed by fire early today and the prop
ertv loss is estimated at from 8300,900 to
8400,000.
So far as can be learned there was no
loss of life among the 400 people in the
sanitarium, although one or two persons
are said to be missing, and it is possible
they may be in the ruins.
It is almost miraculous that the 400
sleeping Inmates escaped with, their lives.
Watchmeh darted through the corridors
awakening them when the fire was discov
ered. Few of them had time to gather to
gether any clothing, escaping in their
night clothes. The corridors soon filled
with smoke and about half of the patients

broke out at 7:45 yesterday morning par
tially destroyed the plant of tne Louisville
Bolt and Iron company at Second and L

1$ DEAD FROM GRIP
DECEASED CAME TO ATLANTA
DURING THE CIVIL WAR AND
REMAINED HERE.
Major William H. Smyth, postmaster of
Atlanta, died Monday at 12:45 at his
residence, 409 Peachtree street, after an
illness of less than one week.
His death resulted from grip, which be
gan with a slight cold, but which in
creased in severity. Everything that was
possible was done by the. physicians to
ward off the disease, but all efforts were
futile and he continued to grow worse.
About 10 o’clock Monday it was be
lieved that there was little hope of sav
ing his life. The friends of the postmas
ter were hurriedly summoned and they re
mained with him and with his wife until
the end came at 12:45 o’clock this after
noon.
It is the belief of the physicians that
during the last hours of Major Smyth an
aggravated attack of pneumonia began,
which was so sudden as to baffle the rem
edies they had for it.
The only Atlanta relative of Major
Smyth is his wife, who survives him. She
was Miss Maggie Poole, of Atlanta. He
also has several brothers residing in the
north. They have been telegraphed the an
nouncement of his death.
Major Smythe first came to Atlanta dur
ing the civil war. He was upon the staff
of General Sibley and while the army of
General Sherman occupied this city Major
Smyth was the marshal of Atlanta. It
was while performing the duties of his
office that he met Miss Maggie Poole, a
loyal Confederate girl. Major Smyth fell
in love with her and directly after the war
they were married.
From that until the time of his death he
resided in this city and was one of the
foremost citizens here. His death will be
deplored by all who knew him.
Major Smyth was appointed assistant
postmaster under General J. Rl Lewis in
1889 and served during his administration.
He was appointed postmaster by Presi
dent McKinley on November 15. 1897, and
was reappointed by President Roosevelt a
few weeks ago.
Between the expiration of his term as
assistant postmaster and his appointment
as postmaster Major Smyth spent several
years in travel, during which time he
visited the principal countries of the old
world.
Major Smyth was United States marshal
for the northern district of Georgia under
President Grant and served for two terms.
WHEELER IS
ENMRSED BY
GEBMINS
MAN WHO ROASTED AMERICA,
ENGLAND AND GERMANY RE
CEIVES CONGRATULA-
TORY LETTERS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 19 —Repre
sentative Wheeler, of Kentucky, is being
deluged with letters since his sensational
speech on the floor of the house last week.
He has received over 500 communica
tions, all bearing on the same subject.
These were only a small part of the
communications received since Mr. Wheel
er delivered his caustic speech denounc
ing the state department, our negotia
tions with England and criticising the
forthcoming visit of “the little Dutch
man,” Prince Henry’ of Germany, now on
his way across the Atlantic.
The Democrats of the house are apt to
shake their heads and deprecate tie
speech, but Mr. Wheeler feels the other
way\ about it. He has a big stack of
the letters upon his desk and dis
played the contents of some of the let
ters to different colleagues.
Mr. Wheeler says there are hardly moreß
than five or. six which, criticise him at all
for it. On the contrary, they praise the
sentiments he uttered. The names signed
to the letters indicate that the writers
are Ynostly Germans. They come mostly
from Pennsylvania and Ohio. One of them
is from a captain in the regiment that
General Grosvenor commanded and urg
ing Mr. Wheeler, if General Grosvenor
assails him again, to ask certain ques
tions. Some of the letters are from Ger
mans known to be more or less prominent
in the business world.
The general tone of the letters is very
complimenta'ry to the speech and com
mend the Kentuckian for his utterances.
Whether they express the general senti
ment of the German people throughout
the country might be difficult to say, but
Mr. Wheeler judges from the large num
ber of such letters that the speech struck
a responsive chord at least with a very '
considerable number of Germans.

counterfeit, though he seems to have had |
little trouble in passing them. He had on .
his person when arrested nine half pints I
of whisky, purchased with counterfeit I
money, and about 3200 of genuine money, .
which he had received in change.
The prisoner says that he is from Mis
souri but claims to have come to Birming
ham from Anniston. A notebook was
found on his person which indicates that
when he started out he nad 831,040. This
bpok also contains some directions as to
counterfeiting. The man is about 28
years of age and dresses neatly. He is
very nervous and the officials believe that ,
he will break down later and reveal how
and where the money was made.
