con BLOWS UP. KILLING ONE
AND FATALLY WOUNDING
OTHERS ABOARD.
LOUDON. Tenn., Feb. 26.—The steamer
Charles H. Bacon, employed to trans
port the United States mall between Lou
don and Kingston, blew up yesterday
about B:3# o'clock, when on her regular

The killed:
ESTILLE HUDGEONB. white fireman.
Injured’:
R. A. Clalbourne. colored, engineer, cut

Frank Smith, white deck hand, injuries
probably fatal.
Robert Byrd, ahite. passenger return
ing from three years’ service in the Phil
ippines to his home at Paint Rock. Tenn.,
cut on the head, scalded, injured inter-
Bally, both legs broken.
All of those In the accident resided at
Loudon with the exception of Robert
Byrd, who was accompanied by his cousin,
a young man bearing the same name, and
who fortunately was uninjured.
The direct cause of the catastrophe was
the explosion of the steamer's boiler. One
whole end of the boat was shattered, and
made driftwood for the tide. The body
of Engineer Hudgeons was hurled over
board by the force of the explosion, and
floated dowil the stream.
Robert Byrd had been away from his
home. Paint Rock. Tenn., three years,
and in the far stray Philippines became
accustomed to the dangers and hardships
of life. He was returning home, and af
ter a rough voyage of weeks met with
the accident which will undoubtedly re

a few miles of his destination. His cous
in had gone to Loudon to meet and escort
him home.

IN N.Y. BANK
AS NIGHT MAN WAS ASSAULTED
HE UTTERED PIERCING SHRIEK
AND HIS ASSAILANTS
NEW YORK. Feb. 24 —What is regarded
as a daring attempt to get at the vaults
of the Varlck bank, with the intention of
loafing them, has just beep made. The
srould-be robber* severely wounded a
night watchman, who was the single pro
tector of the vaults.
Springing on him in the dark of the
basement of the Wool Exchange building,
at Beach street and West Broadway,
they knocked him senseless by a blow on
the forehead that made a wide gash in
the akin. Trained for just such an emer
gency. he cried out as the blow fell. His
cry, the noise which resulted from his fall,
or, perhaps, the belief that they had killed
him. frightened the men off and they es
caped.
The treasure room was perfectly guard
ed by electrical devices and if the cracks
men had succeeded in entering, the police
undoubtedly would have swooped down
upon them.
General Funston declares that some onr
has been lying about him. We felt our
selves that his press agent should have
been rebuked some time ago.

THE GRIP AGAIN
THIS DANGEROUS EPIDEMIC HAS
MADE ANOTHER APPEARANCE.
Hundreds of New Victims Added to Its
List—A Suggestion as to How to
Guard Against It and Its
After-Effects.
Every year upon the approach of spring
the grip makes its appearance. Once ev
ery few years it spreads and assumes
alarming proportions. From all appear
ances this is one of the years in which it
will seise upon a great number of vic
tims. for every day new cases are re
ported.
As In scarlet and typhoid fever, the
after-effects of grip are often worse than
the disease itself. The sufferer is left
with a debilitated system, short of breath
upon the slightest exertion, affected by
every change of the weather and in a
physical condition to invite the attack of
the manj- diseases Induced by the incle
ment weather of early spring.
A timely suggestion as to how to en
able the system to resist the Inroads of
grip and Its after-effects Is given by Mrs.
Mary E. Chase, an operator in a shoe
factory, living at No. 2775 Washington
street. Roxbury Diet., Boston, Mass. She
say*:
“I had an attack of the grip in 1891
wt’ch left me in such a weak condition
that I became afflicted with a complica
tion of other troubles. I suffered from
nervous dyspepsia and a disease peculiar
to my sex. There was a bad feeling in
my head, yet it whs not headache. 1
took cold easily and had periodical spells
of nausea. I would faint frequently, and
was completely run down in every way.
I tried several doctors, and took various
remedies, but without favorable results.
•'Finally a friend, who had taken them
herself, advised me to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. I did so. and
was feeling better when I had taken one
box of the pill*. I continued in the use
of the pills until I had taken six boxes and
they made me well and strong.
“I have recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills to quite a number of people
as a cure for constipation and to help
them get good blood. I know, by per
sonal experience, that they will give won
derful results.”
It is of the utmost Importance to your
health if you have suffered from the grip,
that you should cleanse the system of the
lingering germs and put It in condition to
resist and ward off disease.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are valuable in cases like the above be
cause of the double action—on the nerves
and on the blood, a feature, tn which they
are unlike other medicine. For this
reason they cannot be successfully imi
tated so do not let any dealer palm off
an inferior article on you. The genuine
pills are never sold In loose bulk but al
ways in packages and the well-known
trade-mark on the wrapper is your guar
antee that the contents are genuine.
There are few diseases due to impov
erished blood or weakened nerves that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will not benefit.
Some of the cures effected are almost
miraculous. If you are suffering and or
dinary treatment falls to relieve you, send
your name and address, together with a
brief description of your case, to the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company. Schenecta
dy. N. T. If, the remedy has not cured
cases like yours it will not be recommend
ed to you. The pills will be sent by mall,
if desired, postpaid, on receipt of price,
fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dol
lars and a half.

from a canal falling on him. covering him
15 or 20 feet deep.
Underneath the bank Mr. Thompson and
quite a number of hands were digging a
large canal, which was about 150 yards
long and 20 feet deep. He had called the
force of hands for dinner with the ex
ception of one negro man, Stark Perry.
At 12:30 o’clock another hand returned
and found that the south side of the canaj
had slided off, covering Mr. Thompson
and the negro underneath the cave.
The alarm was promptly given and
some 50 or 75 hands were put to work with
the intention of recovering the two bodies.
At 7 o’clock’p. m. the two bodies were
found, neither being very badly dis
figured. »

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY,
6 EXPLOSIONS
JAR CRIPPLE
CREEK
TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT OCCA
SIONED BY WHITECAPPERS.
BLOODHOUNDS ON THEIR
TRAIL.
VICTORIA, Col.. Feb. 21-Crlpple Creek
is in a furore owing to the persistent at
tack upon all the leading assay offices
doing business in the district.
Beginning at 3 o’clock this morning and
following in rapid succession, six explo
sions wrecked as many assay offices in
the centers ranging from Victor to Cripple
Creek and up to Goldfield. In every in
stance the object sought by the incendi
aries was accomplished by the destruction
of the offices with their fine equipment
of delicate balances.
The raiders did not hesitate to jeopardize
life, as all the buildings were occupied by
sleeping families. As it was, men. women
and children were hurled out of their beds
by the shocks and serious injuries in
flicted. The full extent of the damage
cannot be estimated. z
In this city the Davenport office was
wrecked by two explosions, involving a
loss of at least $1,200. At the same time
the assay offices of Vanderwalker. Morgan
and Williams were treated likewise. The
loss was approximately as large as the
Davenport.
One man, a miner, was severely Injured
at the explosion at the Williams office.
He was passing at the moment of the ex
plosion. Flying debris struck him in the
face, gashing his eyes, and may result in
total blindness.
In Cripple Creek, Benjamin’s assay of
fice, north of the Florence and Cripple
Creek depot, was blown up. In the town
of Goldfield, about a mile and a half north
of here, almost simultaneously, Boyce’s
office and another assaylst establishment
were wrecked. Boyce’s family occupied
an adjoining room. Mrs. Boyce was blown
out of bed, but escaped without serious in
jury. The family living in the other es
sayist office were blown out of bed but
escaped serious Injury.
In this city the powder was placed un
der the building. The house In which a
family lived next to the Williams assay
office here was much damaged and a
woman was prostrated. Sheriff Robert
son has called out his deputies and is
taking all means to discover, If possible?
the perpetrators of the crimes.
The general Impression here this morn
ing is that the acts are the result of a
general movement to rid the district of all
high grade ore, purchasing substitutions.
Bloodhounds from Canon City have been
called for.

BROUGHTON ENDORSES
GUERRY FOR GOVERNOR
Dr. Len G. Broughton spolfe to a large
audience Sunday night at the Baptist Tab
ernacle on “Politics." With a few intro
ductory remarks in which he gave the
reasons why he thought a minister of the
gospel ought to have a voice in politics
Dr. Broughton launched into his subject
with gloves off.
He endorsed the candidacy of Hon. Du-
Pont Guerry for governor. He called at
tention to the temperance platform Adopt
ed by the conventions of the Baptists.
Methodists and Presbyterians of the state
and said that the members of the church
es which have pledged their support to
this platform are in duty bound to stand
by the candidate who is opposed to the
liquor traffic.
Dr. Broughton spoke In part as follows:
“There are now practically only two
candidates in the field for governor, and
they are Mr. Guerry and Mr. Terrell.
They are both good, honorable, high-toned
gentlemen personally, but this is not only
a campaign of men, but also of measures.
Our joint temperance committee has writ
ten letters to Mr. Terrell and Mr. Guerry
and we asked them two questions. First,
are you for state prohibition; and, sec
and, will you. if elected, stand by the bill
framed by the temperance caucus and
passed by the legislature. Mr. Terrell has
answered ‘No,’ to both questions, and Mr.
Guerry answered ‘Yes’ to both questions.
Now I ask you in the name of God what
are you going to uo as Christian men?
“I ask you to think upon this question
seriously. We have a chance in Georgia,
and if the Christian men will assert their
citizenship wo will win.”

MRS. EDDY’S FfilTH
IS DENOUNCED
IS IJIUD
REV. W. J. HOLTZCLAW SAYS THE
CREED IS BLASPHEMOUS AND
MRS. EDDY IS AN ILLITER-
ATE IMPOSTER.
Christian Science was the subject of a
sermon Sunday night by Rev. W. J. Holtz
claw, pastor of the Jones Avenue Baptist
church, who spoke from his own pulpit.
The faith he declared to be blasphemous
and a fraud. Mrs. Eddy he declared to be
an illiterate imposter who Is working for
money and who knows her doctrines to be
deceits.
His text was Colosslans. 11:8: “Beware
lest any man spoil you through philoso
phy and vain deceit.”
In part Dr. Holtzclaw spoke as follows:
"The fad is a frpud and I have facts to
prove it. Who is Mfs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy, who poses as the author of the fad?
She is a woman now about 85 years of age,
notwithstanding that ) her followers are
forced to sell a plcturd made from a cray
on drawing representing a woman of 40
years and which purports to be a picture
of Mrs. Eddy. The purpose of this is to
show what so-called Christian Science will
do toward preservlng 1 tpe body- Mrs. Ed
dy’s picture as she appears today look* to
be that of an old womsn at least 90 years
old. Mrs. Eddy teaches her followers to
believe that God has revealed to her the
power to cause disease, death and busi
ness disaster, and yet at the same time
she teaches them that sickness and pain
do not really exist. Where is the har
mony in this? As a result of this duping
hundreds of children and others are al
lowed to suffer for the| want of medical at
tention. The North American Review re
cently gave an account of a case in New
York where a half-grown boy was allowed
to suffer with a broken or diseased leg
for two weeks.
“The board of health reported the case
to Dr. Purinton, of the Bellvue hospital,
who had the boy’s leg amputated after
gangrene had blackened the leg from the
foot to the knee, and thus saved the poor
boy’s life. Hundreds of such cases are oc
curring now through the influence of this
blasphemous woman. If she were in pri
vate life, being a woman as she is, I
would hesitate to speak as I must; but
she is not only in public life, bue she is
behind a gigantic duping institution which
is duping the dupes to her own enrich
ment. Mrs. Eddy was born in the town
of Bow, N. H., and was very poor. For a
time, in her early life, she made her liv
ing as a spiritualist medium, and gave
public stances for money in and around
Boston. Her first husband was a Mr.
Glover, who died at Wilmington, N. C.,
and was buried in the potter's field. A
•boy child was afterwards born to Mrs.
Glover, who is now in the west and sel
dom, if ever, comes to see his mothet.
Mrs. Eddy is now rich, and 'notwithstand
ing that she speaks of this first husband in
endearing terms in her books, his body
still lies in the potter's field. Her second
husband was a dentist named Patterson,
who was captured at the battle of Bull
Run, and while he was in prison she se
cured a divorce from him. Her third hus
band was Asa G. Eddy, whose name she
now bears.”

lIIITITION
TO TILLMAN
RECALLED
SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
COULD NOT ATTEND DINNER
TO PRINCE HENRY AT
WHITE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The president
has withdrawn his invitation extended
to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
to attend the dinner to be given tonight
in honor of Prince Henry, of Prussia, at
the White House.
It is stated that this action on the
part of the president was made neces
sary from the fact that it was due to the
occurrences on the floor of the senate last
Saturday, when the senator from South
Carolina was declared in contempt of the
senate.
Senator Martin of Virginia, a member
of the committee on naval affairs, has
accepted an invitation in Mr. Tillman's <
place.
The invitation was extened originally to
Mr. Tillman owing to the fact that he
is the ranking minority member of the
naval affairs committee. ’
Senator Frye, president pro tern, of the
senate, gave directions to the clerks of
the senate today that the names of
tors Tillman and McLaurin, of South Carfl
olina, must not be called on roil calls until
further notice.
This fixes the status of the senators,
who are practically suspended from all
senatorial functions.
The president sent for Senator Cockrell,
of Missouri, and asked him as a friend
and democratic colleague of Mr. Tillman
to suggest to the latter the propriety of
withdrawing his acceptance of the din
ner invitation.
Mr. Cockrell accepted the commission
and later telephoned to the president that
Mr. Tillman absolutely refused to with
draw his acceptance, in response to the
president’s suggestion.
The president Immediately cancelled the
invitation in a note he dispatched di
rectly to Mr. Tillman.
Commenting on the letter Mr. Tillman
says:
"The president, of course, has the right
to invite any one he chooses to dine with
him officially or otherwise and also has
the right to withdraw such invitation. As
I am not conscious of having done any
thing personal or official which gives the
president the right to insult, I am sur
prised at his action. The invitation to the
dinner came to me unsought and unex
pectedly, and so far as the withdrawal is
concerned, it is a matter of absolute in
difference to me. /
"It is the njotlve behind n which seeks
to put me in the condition of unworthiness
to meet the president and his guest before
final action by Ihe senate comes from a
country where custom makes it obligatory
upon any man who regards himself a gen
tleman to promptly resent an insult and
the method is by challenge to a duel.
• “That was once the custom, but it is
now obsolete in the United States, and we
have been forced as a people here to cling
to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of consider
ing the He direct as the first blow, and no
man could hold up his head in decent so
ciety should he, being near enoilgh to an
swer the lie with a blow, not to give it.”
“As for my being in contempt of the
senate whibh I presupje is the excuse for
this insult at the hands of the president
that I deny. I have been guilty of a
breach of the rules and the privileges of
the senate. The senate was not sitting
as a court but as a legislative assembly.
“It has the right to expel me if it sees
fit and I am ready to abide by its judg
ment and action. It has the right to ar
rest me and hold me in custody until it
makes disposition of my case, but it has
no right to gag me, and'the president has
no right to judge trie guilty of conduct
unbecoming a gentleman until he belles
all his antecedents, which lead.one to
believe that he would have done just as
'I did under the circumstances.
“As to which of us is the gentleman in
this matter, in view of the unsought in
vitation to dinner, at the white housq, and
its indecent withdrawal, I am willing
to abide by the judgment of all brave and
self respecting men."
The first roll call in the senate on the
"Philippines bill was on an amendment
presented by Mr. Patterson repealing the
Philippines commission sedition' law.
When the place was reached where Mr.
McLaurin’s name shoald have been called
Mr. Patterson rose and protested against
the skipping of McLaurin’s name.
There were cries of “Regular order” on
the Republican side and the chair direct
ed the roll call to proceed.
Mr. Turner continued to discuss the
matter, although many points of order
were sustained, Mr. Turner appealing each
time and insisting on his right to be
heard. Efforts were made to prevent him
from proceeding. Finally Mr. Turner rose
to a question of personal privilege and
Mr. Frye said he felt bound to recognize
any senator who rose to a question of
privilege, and Mr. Turner proceeded ques
tioning the right of the senate or presi
dent pro tern, to deprive a member of the
senate of the right to votp.
TILLMAN AND M’LAURIN
MAY FIGHT A DUEL
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 25.—1 n re
ply to President Roosevelt’s letter, re
calling an invitation to the Prince Henry
dinner at white house last night. Sena
tor Tillman wrote the president that
he comes from a country where the epi
thet "liar” was followed by a duel, but in
this end of the country duelling is not
countenanced.
Under the same circumstances he believ
ed the president in view of his past his
tory would have acted as he did and re
sented it by blows.
Senator McLaurin Saturday night held
a conference with Senator Pritchard and
asked him if he would bear a formal
challenge to Tillmart.
The challenge was already written out.
It is said Pritchard declined and advised
McLaurin to tear the challenge up.
From these expressed sentiments on
duelling by both the principals in the
fight it is freely .predicted they will meet
in the field, if not here some where in
South Carolina.

INJUNCTION STOPS
DISPENSARY PLANS
ELECTORS MEET BUT ARE COM
PELLED TO ADJOURN WITH
OUT ACTING.
ROME, Ga., Feb. 25.—The dispensary
electors were enjoined by Judge Henry
yesterday at 11 o’clock. The injunction
holds until next Monday, when argument
will be heard at the courthouse. t
A petition was presented to Judge Henry
at Lafayette asking,,that the dispensary
electors be enjoined.
The grounds cf the petition number 17,
in addition to a number of sub-heads.
Among the grounds are:
The act of the legislature Is void because
it contains more than one subject matter
and different from the caption. It at
tempts to alter or amend the charter of
Rome without publication and to take
from the city the right to issue license to
sell liquor in saloons. ’
The act makes the city and county part
ners and contracts debts without assent
of twfc-thirds of the voters, and the act is
not udiform throughout the, state.
That the dispensary received 1,459 votes,
which is not a majority of the voters of
the county. The registration lists contain
4,200 names and there are C.OOO voters in
Floyd.
The claim Is, made that Ordinary Davis
failed to declare the result of the election.
M. C. Kay and J. T. Kay ask for the
injunction and they are represented by-
Denny & Harris, W. T. Kelly, W. H. En
nis and R. L. Chamlee.
The dispensary electors ,met to elect
three commissioners to manage the dis
pensary and carry the act into effect. The
electors consist of the county officers and
mayor and council. Ordinary Davis is the
chairman and they have adjourned sub
ject to his call.
The dispensary people are by no means
disconsolate over the sudden turn of af
fairs. The}’ assert Judge Henry was com
pelled to set a day for the hearing of the
complaint, as he would in any case filed
before the court. The dispensary leaders
claim the petition will be dismissed next
Monday, when a counter showing can be
made. Colonel Feathersto'ne, L. A. Dean,
Seaborn Wright and others will represent
the dispensary side in the courts.
There can be no doubt that the matter
will be carried to the supreme court. The
dispensary folks allege that section 103,
supreme court report, and others settles
every point made by the saloon men.
The liquor licenses expire on March 21.
HARPER SUES CLEMENT
FOR SIO,OOO DAMAGES
ROME, Ga., Feb. 25.—Walter Harper has
filed a suit.lor SIO,OOO damages against
T. E. Clement. Harper alleges Clement
rescinded his contract to publish the
Evenlrig Times some weeks ago and he
Was damaged. Clement had the contract
to print the Times for a period of months
but during the campaign refused to Is
sue the paper. Clement alleges he was
to print the .paper so long as it contained
nothing against the dispensary' and when
Harper sold two columns to the antirdis
pensary men the contract void.
Harper alleges he sold advertising space
to the public and Clement had no right
to complain of its character.

CRUSHED TO DEATH
IN COGS OF WHEEL*
McCAYS, Tenn.. Feb. 24.-While lean-,
ing over a cog wheel oiling the machinery i
of the separator at the London Copperj
Mines, one and a half miles from here,'*
on last Friday morning, Mr. Jack Belli
was caught by the cog wheel and the
whole front of his body torn apart, caus
ing instant death.
In an attempt to rescue Bell, Mr. Hen
ry Worley lost three fingers, and barely
escaped losing his own life.
The accident is especially deplored be
cause of Mr. Bell’s extreme youth, he
being only 17 years of age.
Notwithstanding his youthfulness, Bell
had been working around the rockbreaker
for several years, and at the time of his
death was engaged in oiling the ma
chinery of what is known as a separa- •
tor, which separates the coarse ore from
the fine. -- --
