SUED byTilted GIRL - AS HE WEDDED BRIDE NEW YORK. March IX-Franklin Mar cellus Olds and Miss Agnes Aprile stood in front of a flower-decked altar under a bower of palms in Lyric hall. As Rev.

"This man was engaged to another young lady and be has failed to keep his promise to marry her. She is now suing Ha.” Mr. Qld’s face flushed crimson, while Miss Aprile looked astonished and seemed ready to collapse. The intruder was a lawyer's clerk sent to serve a summons in a suit for $50.m0 damages for breach of promise brought by Miss Olga Landsdorff. Whue Mr. Olds gianced over the sum mons the clerk left the building. The minister remained silent until Mr. Olds stuffed the paper into his pocket, and in a low tone told him that he could proceed as there was no valid objection. Dr. Hall continued the ceremony to the end. The groom explained matters satisfac torily to his bride, who is the daughter of a wealthy Italian. Mr. Olds, who is about 50 years o)d. is a Newark lawyer, reputed to be wealthy. He Is retired from active practice.

C-, March 11.—" This is a year of doubt and uncertainty," say the leaders of the negro race in North Caro lina. in issuing a call for a state conven tion to be held in Raleigh on the 15th of April. The adoption of the franchise amend ment to the constitution and the appa rent indifference of those at the head of the Republican party toward the remnant of negroes who will vote In fature elec tions has been a source of uneasiness among the colored people of this state, who say further in their address: “The colored people are at sea. waiting to see what their future hope is politically. There is a want of understanding among those who are in the lead and there is an entire lack of organisation. Without these two essentials we can never hope to ac complish anything." The convention is accordingly called “for the purpose of reorganisation and to have a calm discussion of what plan is best to pursue.” and for numerous other purposes that occur to the minds of the leaders of the race. In concluMon the call for the convention says: “This is a crisis in the political history of our peo ple in the state.” and urges every county to send delegates. It is expected that the call will result In a large gathering of representative negroes, and aa usual in negro conven tions. there will probably be a great deal of talk about acting independently of the Republican TArty in the future. But no one who uncrarstands the negro expects anything else but blind obedience when the white leaders get ready to give the word of command. medaTWmoney GIVEN ENGINEER FOB HEROISM DARING MAN BRAVED DEATH THREE TIMES TO SAVE LIVES OF FOUR WOMEN.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1902. FUGITIVES ARE LOCATED IN CANADA GREENE AND GAYNOR REGISTER AT A HOTEL IN THE CITY OF QUEBEC, ON- TARIO. ■" T / NEW YORK. March 11.—Colonel John F. Gaynor and his partner, B. D. Greene, charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States government and wanted for hearing in Savannah. Ga., by the federal authorities, are registered at the Chateau Frontenac, according to a Herald dispatch from Quebec. They arrived there two days ago and Mrs. Gaynor joined her husband Monday. Colonel Gaynor, in response to questions would only say: “My name Is registered properly at this hotel. Any one having business with me will know where to find me.” Colonel Gaynor is well known In Quebec, where he has extensive business Interests. The Macon News of Thursday publishes a story to the effect that Captain Greene, who, it Is alleged, has forfeited his bond for appearance in Savannah, decided upon flight after advising with his counsel, and that the step was premeditated. Attorneys Felder and Rountree, local counsel for Captain Greene, were seen this morning and stated that during all of the .firm's connection with the case there was no intimation of an intention on the part of Greene to flee, but that on the contrary he frequently assured his attorneys that he would be In Savannah in time to an swer to all charges. TO REAR RANG ETHE~ UNION DEPOT TRACKS Tracks entering the union depot will be rearranged at once In order to facilitate the handling of trains and prevent the blocks which occur there daily. The re arrangement will be made by the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, lessees of the state road and the terminal, and, when completed, it is said the trains can move in and out with a great deal more dispatch than heretofore. At present there are a number of switch es and short tracks right at the Whitehall street viaduct, and when long trains are pulling in and out of the station, It Is Impossible for another train to get out or In the depot in the same direction. These switches will be moved, and nec essary connections will be made below the Forsyth street bridge. The tracks will therefore come straight out from the un ion depot and join together below the For syth street bridge. Now a majority of them join at the Whitehall street viaduct, and this, of course, prevents the handling of the long trains with anything like rap idity. Then only one switch will have to be turned where now It is necessary to turn several. Before the viaduct was built the rail roads wanted to rearrange the tracks, but the city would not allow it. Now that the viaduct Is in use and no pedestrains use the old Whitehall street crossing the rail roads will make the change. It Is, said if a new depot Is built on the present site the rearranging of the tracks will be a big help to the new station. The survey for the rearrangement has already been made, and It is expected that the work on taking up and laying the tracks will begin in a short time. Engineer Quirley made the survey for the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway. NEGRO BOY KILLS FATHER WITH GUN JACKSON, Miss., March 11.—From Richswoods. a few miles from here, comes the story of the killing of a father by his youthful son to save himself from par ental wrath. The fourteen-year-old negro had beep unmercifully flogged and mis treated by his father, and with each suc ceeding outbreak of parental wrath the cruelty became more pronounced until on the occasion the boy was told to go to the house and wait until the father came, and he was going to beat him to death. The boy went to the house, secured the shot-gun and attempted to escape to the woods with It. He was seen running by the father, who attempted to overtake him. The two were scramoling for the gun when the boy shot his father. SAYS RAISE OF RATES WAS NECESSARY MACON. March 10.—Mr. Edgar S. Wil son returned last night from New York, where he went last week to attend the conference between representatives of the various Insurance writers’ organizations east of the Rocky mountains. He says the unions all agreed that it was absolutely necessary for them to do as the South eastern Tariff association has done, and they will at once add a 25 per cent in crease to their present rates on such risks as have received the Southeastern Tariff association increase. Mr. Wilson says the increase in the number of fires and the losses therefrom caused the raise of rates. He says he thinks electric wires cause the Increase In the number of fire losses. MRS. DUPONT GUERRY IN AN ACCIDENT MACON, March 11.—A little negro bi cycle messenger ran his bicycle Into the turnout of Mrs. DuPont Guerry yester day near Taylor’s corner and her horse shied In such away as to badly Injure the negro, but Mrs. Guerry was not hurt in the least. The boy may die. although he has considerable chance for recovery. He says he was not riding fast, but could not control his wheel. Those who were nearby express the belief that he’was not looking where he was going. Mrs. Guerry quickly got her horse under control, and the negro was sent Into a store and given medical treatment.

Grain and Provision*. CHICAGO, March 12.—Drenching rains came to the relief of the suffering southwestern wheat fields and took the bullish spirit out of the oats speculators at the opening today. Ca bles also were lower all around and general selling set In. May started *®*c to *@*c lower at 76*076 and at once dipped to 76*c TherO was some covering for profits, which ab sorbed offerings and May reacted and hung around 76c. Local receipts were 25 cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 276 care, making a total for the three points of 301 care, against 360 last week and 383 a year ago. Corn suffered some loss at the opening as a result of sympathy with the wheat weakness. Cables were slightly lower In the face of our Improvement yesterday. The heavy rains west and southwest, however, were used as a bull argument In that they must necessarily further retard the movement to market. Receipts were still light and May which opened * to *c lower at 61*c to 61*c, reacted to 61*®62c and steadied around that figure. Receipts were 103 cars. The liberal sales for short account in the past two days since May wheat sold at 78*c gave opportunity for good profits and covering late in the day was heavy. This brought a firm tone to the market and sent May up to yester day’s closing price. May closed steady a shade lower at 78*c. When the wheat weakness began to be dissi pated, the latent strength in corn developed May was bought fairly and closed firm *@*c up at 62*@*c. Oats were fairly active and bullish at the opening. The fair show of strength In corn was some influence toward better prices, as was also the shipment of 48,750 bushels of con tract stocks, reducing the total stocks here one-third In the past three days. May opened unchanged at 4484 c, advanced to 4544 c on a fair demand and reacted later and steadied around 46c. Receipts were 64 cars. Provisions started out with a firm tone on better prices at the yard for hogs. There was also a fair demand for pork and covering In provisions helped prices. May pork opened 244 to 5c up at 815.37*015.40, and sold to 315.45; May lard, 2*®sc higher at $9.42*09.45 and eased to $9.40 and May ribs unchanged $8.40.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DEALERS. • Are You Going to Church Tomorrow? BY REV. LOY WARWICK, Pastor 8t Jamee Methodiet Church. Are you going to church Sunday? It is the Lord’s day. Six days out of seven he lets us call our own for work, play or pleasure. Shall we rob God by taking the aeventh also for ourselves? Surely we can’t be so ungrateful and dishonest. Sunday the shops and stores will be closed, the noise of traffic will be hushed and the church doors, "the gates of hea ven,” will be open. You will go somewhere and spend the day some way. Have you a better place to go than to the house of God, or a better way to spend the sacred- Sabbath hours than In his worship and service? If you belong to the church you ought to go from a sense of duty. Your faithful pastor will be there. It Is no small mat ter to him that you choose to stay away while be dispenses the word of life. Your presence will help him. Your ab sence would grieve him. He has your best interest at heart. He prays for you. He pleads to the king to give him a message for you. How can he deliver the King's message unless you are there? Your absence will not grieve him as a personal slight. That Is the smallest part of.lt. He is sad because he fears you have lost your spiritual bearings and are be ing lured to the rocks of danger. But not only do you wrong your pastor by absenting yourself from the house of God, but, you sin against your brethren. They need and they miss your moral and material support. Your course is selfish and unkind, to use no stronger language. The faithful ones who always go and give and do are car rying your burden along with their own. You would not think of shirking your duties at home, or refusing to pay your taxes, shifting load and responsibility to other shoulders. Yet you are content to let others go to church for you and pay to the church for you. Are you going to church Sunday? You will be in good company If you do. You may find good company elsewhere, but It Is doubtful. You are bound to be in good company if you "go up to the house of the Lord.” Young man, if you are looking for the girl who will make you a good wife let me SCHEME OF ENGLAND HARMFUL TO AMERICA NEW YORK. March 13.—1 n a letter re ceived In this city from Thaddeus S. Sharrot, who Is representing the United States government In China, the writer says be is still in Shanghai and is ne gotiating a revision of commercial treaties with the Chinese government. He says that England wants to abolish the Likin tax which has long been in vogue in that ancient country and to have a tariff sys tem established providing a. uniform rate of 15 per cent on all-merchandise Import ed Into China. Mr. Sharrot said he was opposed to the proposed measure as harmful to American Interests. T. DEWITT TALMAGE ILL; HE IS EN ROUTE HOME SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 13.—T.

CRIMINAL COURT POWERS CONSIDERABLY CURTAILED The’declslon of the supreme court Mon day, In which It was held that the criminal court of Atlanta was not a branch of the city court will throw addi tional work on Judge J. H. Lumpkin of the superior court as now all of the cases from the criminal court before reaching the supreme court will have to be cer tlorarled through the superior court. The criminal court of Atlanta, Is there fore nothing more than a justice court. It was expected all along that the decision of the supreme court concerning the su preme court would be as It turned out, and for a time it was feared that the sec ond division of the city court would be held to be unconstitutional. The supreme court said, however, that Judge Calhoun could preside In cases in the second di vision of the city courts and writs of er ror would hold good, as that division was a city court, but when holding the crimi nal courts he would have no authority to grant writs of error. AN IMMENSE EAGLE KILLED NEAR WAYCROSS WAYCROSS, Ga., March 12.—A mon strous eagle was killed near the Okinfe nokee swamp a few days ago by Mr. Gid Cox.

Very likely she will be teaching a Sunday school class. Maybe you are a stranger in the oity. If you are it Is very natural that you desire to meet and know the best peoplo. Let me say that the very best place for you to compase that desire is at church. There you will meet the men who are tne bone and sinew, the backbone and brain of this progressive city. Are you going to church Sunday” Perhaps you haven't been for a long time. You are a "trunk member." Resur rect that old “church letter” tonight and take it to church in the mornlnff. Onte you loved to go to church. Like David you were glad when one said unto "Let us go Into the house of the Lord. The Sunday school was a delight and ben ediction to your heart. But for some time now you have been drifting. You are away from the scenes of your childhood; away from home and mother; away from the old church, your spiritual mother. ... Are you away from God and without hope In the world? Let me beg you to go to church. Sun day, confessing your backsliding and pray ing God to restore your soul. It Is high time you were turning. You are drifting dangerously near the rapids. Are you going to church Sunday? Your mother will be there, unless aha la worshiping in the church triumphant. If, you are away from her she is praying and > hoping that you will be found in the house of God. For her sake you should go. Go Sunday, then write and tell her about It. It will rejoice her heart and make her waning days lighter and bright er. Go to church tomorrow. Your salva tion, your eternal destiny may depend on it. God’s messenger may have a message for your soul direct from the throna The angels above may see what you can’t see; the danger rocks —the end of probation— the tomb and the shadows of death. This appeal from a stranger may be God’s voice calling you, and calling for the last time. Church going Is not salvation, but It Is a means of grace that we may slight only at the peril of our souls. DRUGGISTS SELLING LIQUOR ON SUNDAY WHISKY IS SOI.D THROUGH SODA FOUNTS IN CHATTANOOGA—PO LICE INVESTIGATE. CHATTANOOGA, March 12.—Chief of Police Fred Hill has sprung a sensation by announcing that two of the leading drug stores of the city have been selling whis key after 10 o’clock at night and on Sun days. These facts were reported to the chief and have been investigated and found correct. It Is said that the custom at these stores has been this: On Sun days or any other time that a customer desired a drink he would go to the soda fountain and call for a certain drink, the name being understood between the man behind the counter and the one oh the stool. Any person seated near would Judge that the customer called for an ordinary drink. The customer would receive an innocent looking glass of what appeared to be soda, but instead it would be mainly whisky with just enough soda " in It to disguise the real article from the * eyes of the curious.
