“As a girl I always enjoyed the best of

DEATH OF FATHER
ANDHISSON
BODIES OF RICHARD ALBRECHT
AND HIS BOY FOUND NEAR
BRUNSWICK—DEATH IS BE
LIEVED TO BE ACCIDENTAL.
BRUNSWICK. Ga., March 24.-One of
the most sensational and mysterious
events that has occurred in this section
in many months came to light Saturday
in finding near Thalmaun, on the Sea
board Air Lina, of the drowned body of
Richard Albrecht, a prominent citizen of
New Brunswick. N. J. This interest was
augmented yesterday when the body of
Mr. Albrecht's son. a bright faced youth
of about nine years, was recovered at the
same place.
There Is a strange story attending the
movements of the father and son since
their presence in this section was first
noticed on the 14th Instant, and briefly Is
as follows:
On the date mentioned, the two got off
the southbound Seaboard train at Thal
maun, holding tickets to Brunswick over
the Brunswick and Birmingham. Mr. Al
brecht disclaimed any Intention of com
ing to Brunswick, stating to the ticket
agent that when he bought the tickets. In
Savannah, he asked for fares to Nfew
Brunswick, N. J., and the mistake had
caused him no little Inconvenience. He
appeared very disconcerted and carried
on at such a rate that it was thought his
mind was not well balanced. Against the
protestations of the agent, Mit Albrecht
and the boy left Thalmaun late in the
afternoon walking In the direction of
Everett City. It was raining and they
had no umbrellas. Since that time noth
ing was heard of them until Saturday
when the body of the elder Albrecht was
discovered in the water beneath a trestle
about two miles from Thalmaun.
A coroner’s Inquest was held and upon
the person of the drowned man were cards
which showed him to be the proprietor
of the Windsor hotel of New Brunswick,
besides a bank book showing several hun
dred dollars to his credit, and 936.45 In
change was also in his pockets. No bruis
es or anything else was evident to show
foul pla>\
New Brunswick being notified of the
finding, a flood of telegrams from the
drowned man's wife and others began
coming In and inquiries about the where
abouts of the boy were made. This caused
a search for his body and it was found
yesterday as stated. *
Another strange feature of the mys
tery Is that the father held tickets from
Baltimore to Jacksonville, and his pres
ence at a point short of the last named
place cannot be accounted for, even
though his story Is to be believed.

IRE OF NORTH
IS AROUSED
BY BILL
CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION TO
INVESTIGATE SOUTHERN ELEC
TION LAWS CAUSES BIG
PROTEST.
WASHINGTON. March 24.-Buslness in
terests of the north have been aroused by
(he Crumpacker resolution to investigate
southern election laws. Since the publica
tion of the fact that the Republican mem
bers of the house committee On rules had
voted to report the resolution,
the Republican leaders have been fairly
overwhelmed with letters from the busi
ness men of the north, protesting against
what they term an attempt to revive the
"bloody shirt” and "Force bill” issue.
The letters have been so numerous and
vigorous as to have had an appreciable
effect on certain Republican members. It
was stated last night that the committee
on rules will take Its own time In report
ing the Crumpacker resolution to the
house, notwithstanding that the majority
of that committee—Speaker Henderson.
Representative Dalzell and Grosvenor—a
week ago last Saturday voted to report
the resolution.
Now, It is claimed, since a number of
Republicans In private conversation have
freely spoken their mind against the wis
dom of the resolution, and on top of this
the threat of the beet sugar men to vote
with the Democrats against IL the Repub
lican leaders are in a quandary.
On the other hand, Republicans like Mr.
Crumpacker, who have a substantial col
ored vote In their respective districts, are
insistent that the committee on rules give
thent an opportunity to vote on the Crum
packer resolution and the opportunity can
not come too soon for them.
Speaking of the Crumpacker resolution.
Representative D. Linn Gooch, of Ken
tucky, who is one of the most conserva
tive men in the house, said last evening
that “for once the Republicans have
placed themselves in a hole.” He said
further: “We remember what followed the
force bill legislation of the fifty-first con
gress—the election of a Democratic house
and two years later the election of Mr.
Cleveland. I do not hesitate to say that
in my humble opinion we will elect a
Democratic house this fall and thus pave
the way to carry the presidential
tn 1904. and the Crumpacker resolution
will prove to be worth thousands of votes
to us next November." '

whipped Mayor Parker In his office at the

Three times she slashed the mayor and
then he sprang at her, gripped her by tho
throat, choked her, tore the rawhide out
of her hand and pushed her into the hall.
As Miss Boise was thrust out of the
office by Mayor Parker, she exclaimed:
"Thank God, I've done It. I’ve horse
whipped you and now I am going to horse
whip the governor.”
Before beginning her horsewhipping,
Miss Boise gave the mayor a severe scold
ing and accused him of being responsible
for the fact that the "Joints” are running
openly in Topeka and for the recent mur
der committed In a saloon.
She then pulled the horsewhip frorti the
folds of her dress and struck the mayor
three times across the head and shoulders.

DAMAGED BF FIRE
SHOE FACTORY IN GAINESVILLE,
OWNED BY ATLANTA tfIEN, IS
BADLY DAMAGED SUN
DAY MORNING.
GAINESVILLE, Ga.. March 24.—Fire
was discovered at an early hour yesterday
morning In Inman, Smith & Co.’s shoe
factory. In this city. The department was
soon at tne scene, but the extremely low
water pressure and the fact that the fire
was In the shoe box room on the third
floor, made it extremely difficult to get

flames could be extinguished. The loss to
the factory will be about $25,000, fully cov
ered by insurance.
The Are started on the third floor,
whieh is used almost exclusively for the
manufacture of shoe boxes, and a large
stock of card board and empty boxes
were kept there. The flames, when they
once reached it. soon spread over the en
tire floor, and quickly Ignited the roof.
But for the hard work of the firemen the
entire building would have been destroyed.
The offices of the company, on the first
floor, were flooded with water, and the
second floor, which Is filled with unwork
ed leather, was also much wet by the
water from the floor above. The dam
age by water was much more than the
damage by fire.

better today. He has been suffering from a

that he will be able to be out by tomorrow.

STORM RIDDEN SHIP
REACHES PORT SAFE
NEW YORK, March 25.—With her coal
and water supply almost exhausted, the
steamer Nord America has arrived here.
She had been forced to put into Bermu
da on her way from Genoa and Naples,
much to the relief of her 42 cabin and
1,800 steerage passengers who had lived
for days In fear of disaster.
Among the passengers was Frederick
Taylor, a fellow of the Royal Geographi
cal society, who for the last sixteen
months has been traveling in Borneo, Ja
pan, China and Hawaii.
“We were but one day out from Naples
when the first storm struck us,” said
Taylor. “The heavy sea washed over the
vessel’s decks. The ship had a small car
go and rolled heavily.
"The immigrants were lounging all over
the decks, exposed to the elements and
mothers with babes In their arms, were
drenched to the skin by the seas, which
kept breaking over the decks.
”On the night of March 18, the vessel
was able to make small headway against
the furious storm. Every sea that struck
the ship shook her from stem to stern
and the crying and wailing of the Immi
grants who were panic stricken, made it
a night of horror for us all.
“The captain did his best to calm the
Immigrants’ fears, but It was of no avail,
and after a consultation of the officers,
it was decided to * Steer for Bermuda.
When the America reached Hamilton the
coal had run short and the fresh water
had nearly given out."

NESBITTWRITES LETTER
TO COMMISSIONER STEVENS
NEAR MARIETTA, March 18, 1302.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, Atlanta. Ga.
As there are some matters in regard to
the administration of the agricultural de
partment on which the people of Georgia
should be Informed, and as your views
and mine In regard, to the duties of com
missioner of agriculture differ very wide
ly, and as we are bath candidates for this
office, I. Invite you.'io a public joint dis
cussion of these issue*, at such times aoid
places as we may be- able to agree upon.
I propose to lay bare yqur extravagance
and waste of the ped pie’s money, and also
your failure to protect them In their use
of illuminating oils, and offer yod this op
portunity of public reply.
In the meantime please answer explicit
ly the following questions In an open let
ter:
How many fertiliser Inspectors have you
employed since taking charge of the de
partment of agriculture? What are their
names, their places of residence, their
terms of service, their salaries and their
traveling expenses? How many have you
on duty now?
2. Why have you repeatedly refused to
give this information when requested?
3. As these Inspectors are paid from a
direct tax on fertilizers, and as the sur
plus from this tax goes to the school
fund of the state, does not each unnec
essary Inspector diminish the school fund
to the amount of his pay?
4. Why. in your pamphlet, purporting to
contain the oil law, do you omit a most
Important section In regard to inspec
tions In bulk, which reads as follows:
"In all cases where oil Is Inspected In
bulk, before said oil Is put Into barrels.
It shall be the duty of the Inspector to
either see the oil so Inspected put Into bar
rels on which he has put his official brand,
or else he shall again take samples from
among the barrels Into which said bulk
oil has been unloaded, before he shall
place his official brand upon said barrels."
This section is for the protection of con
sumers of oil against frauds and adulter
ations; why do you not charge your in
spectors with the importance of its en
forcement? Why do you allow tfiem to test
from the tank car, brand the empty bar
rels and leave them in the hands of the
oil companies?
5. When you engineered this bill through
the legislature, why did you strike out the
following protective sections of the old
law?
(a) "When the oil Inspected shall stand
a higher test, the Inspector shall designate
the same by his brand?”
(b) “Inspectors shall Inspect from time
to time oil in the tanks of retail dealers,
whether previously inspected or not, and
if the fluid Is below the standard, the same
shall be seized, etc., etc.”
I was In the senate when this bill was
under consideration, and know Its history.
You remember that through mutual friends
you sought my support of this measure,
and as a final argument I was told that
one of my best friends would receive the
position 'f state oil inspector if the bill
became a law. My reply was that I would
not vote for the bill if my own son was
to be benefited by It. Yours truly,
R. T. NESBITT.

WASHINGTON, March 25.—May 20, 1902,

The change of date was made, If not at
the suggestion, then with the full appro
val of President-elect Palma and his ad
visors, Senors Tamaya and Quesada, who
were with him at the war department to

one In Cuban history, for it will not only

it having been determined that President
Palma should be Inaugurated on the same

Besides the final selection of May 20 as
Cuban Independence Day, two other im
portant conclusions were reached. The
first was that General Wood should Imme
diately upon his return to Cuba Issue a
call convening the first Cuban congress
In session on May 10th, In order that that
body might employ the ten days following
that date In supplying any legislation nec
essary to the assumption of full powers in
the islands.
The other conclusion was that there
should be no half way evacuation of the
Island; the present disposition Is jo move
the entire United States contingent, civil
and military, away from the islands, not
leaving a corporal’s guard of United
States soldiers In any of the camps. If this
program Is not executed. It will be for the
sole reason that the Cubans themselves,
through their authorized officials, request
that the departure of the United States
troops be delayed for a time. .
