The governor Is anxious to And out the decision of the Southern regarding the plans, as he desires, if the Southern accepts, to proceed at once with the work. The Southern railway has been the stumbling block in the way of a new de pot since the passage of the depot bill by the house at the last session of the leg islature.

C., May story of a suicide after two years’ deliberation over the question of self-destruction comes from Laurinburg, N. C.. th© vic tim, a farmer named Alex Lytch, blowing the top of his head off with a shotgun. Lytch went to Laurinburg Saturday, and just before leaving for his home he pur chased a few gun shells loaded with No. 4 shot. Upon arriving at home he ate dinner as usual and then went out, locked up his barn and began to get things in order. After attending to these outside matters he went to his, room and removed the greater part of his furniture, his trunk and other articles, and then undressed himself and sat on the bed. He -then put the muzxle of the gun to his forehead and with his toe pulled the trigger. When found his eyes and the entire front part of his head were blown off. This Is the plausible theory as to how the unfortunate man came to his death, all of which was fully substantiated by a note he left behind. In this note was a statement that he did not wish any one to think that the act was rash and thoughtless. On the contrary, he said that he had had the subject of self-destruction under consideration for two years; that, on account of his aged mother, Jie had fought against it and resisted it for these long two years, but the time had come when he could resist it no longer. He also stated the disposition he wished made of his watch, gun and other articles, speci fied the kind of clothes he wished to be buried In and stated that he wanted his funeral preached Sunday afternoon by Rev. F. M. Shamburger, of Rockingham, who was formerly pastor oi the Methodist church here. In the light of these facts, the coroner did not deem an Inquest nec essary. COLUMBIAN TROOPS GO TO BATTLE WITH REBELS PANAMA, Colombia, May 21.-The gov ernment forces began to leave Panama at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. In all about 2,000 men under the command of Generals Amaya and Salazar will proceed against the Insurgents. Before he left the city, General Salazar said: "I intend to attack the rebels Immediate ly. I expect to receive within the next eight days reinforcements of 3,000 men un der the cootmand of General Panpillo Gutletrox, who will co-operate with the troops leaving Panama today. "The rebel general Herrera and his forces will be attacked by over 5,000 of the best soldiers in the republic, as well as by a fleet. His resistance can be but fu tile. The government has been victorious in the interior of the public' and it can send, if necessary. 10.000 more then to end the revolution on the Isthmus." Fifteen thousand government soldiers remain In Panama to protect jhe city. The soldiers who arrived here Monday are part of the army which recently defeated General Uribe-Uribe. RAINS WERE BENEFICIAL TO CROPS OVER STATE The rains which occurred last week were very beneficial to the crops all over the state. Only a few counties in the northern and middle sections are suffering from lack of moisture. The crop report for the week ending Tuesday is quite favorable. Cotton chopping has begun tn the north, is well advanced in the central sections and is almost completed in the south. The cotton crop on the whole is regarded as making very favorable progress. I Oats have been very much benefited by the recent rains. A short yield Is expected, how ever. on atcount of the preceding dry weather. The corn crop Is doing well. Complaint of shed tng of peaches, blighting of pears, plums and apples has been general. These crops may not be so large as It was first thought they would THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. MAY 22, 1902. LABORLEADERS IN SESSION TODAY MANY REPORTS ARE BEING DIS CUSSED BUT NO FINAL AC TION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEES. / WILKESBARRE. Pa.. May 21,-The three executive committees of the Uni ted Mine Workers of America today be gan their first formal session since the great coal strike was inaugurated. This was the same bodj> that was organized two weeks ago and decided on the sus pension. The object of the meeting is to go over the entire situation and outline and adopt new lines of campaign that may be found necessary. The most important matter for consid eration is the proposition to call out the engineers, firemen and'pump men. This is looked upon by the mine workers' ofti .clals as an extreme measure and it will be carefully considered before the step ig taken. They do not care to antago nize the mine owners any more than is necessary. Some of the mine officials still have hopes of an amicable settlement and they do not think It wise to anger the mine owners by withdrawing these men and Endangering the safety of their prop erty. From a talk with several of the committeemen, it seems likely that the protectors of the mines will not be called out for the present. If the miners' union declines to call out the men and succeed In getting them to quit, the mine owners will make every effort to fill their places. It is said that some of the operators, an ticipating the union, have made all ar rangements to keep their pumps at work if the men desert them. The committee will also consider the matter of the calling out of the bitumi nous miners, but In the absence of the petitions from two other districts neces sary to make up the five that are re quired to call a special convention It Is believed no action will be taken. It is just possible, however, that the petitions may •be received today. In that event. President Mitchell will immediately issue the call for the convention. There Is a rumor current which cannot be confirmed that the railroaders at a meeting here decided to refuse to handle bituminous coal destined for the anthra cite market, and If necessary to cause a general strike. President Mitchell said this morning that he knew nothing about such a meeting. When asked whether such a step had been seriously considered by him and the upion railroad leaders, he refused to discuss the question. There is reason tq believe that If the traffic In bi tuminous coal Into anthracite territory becomes heavy the railroaders will en deavor to stop it. ..xla Reports received here by the Associated Press from all parts of the coal fields show that everything Is quiet. Fist fights among Idle men, which rumors are usual ly exaggerated Into riots are of dally oc currence, but beyond these trifling dis putes, nothing has occurred to stir the community. President Mitchell said this morning that he knew nothing of the meetings Os the operator* in New York nor of the movements of the civic tion officials beyond what was published in the morning papers. GREENE AND GAYNOR’S FRIENDS ARE FIGHTING NEW YORK, May 20.—There has been an exciting scene In the corridor of the fifth floor of the Windsor hotel, when, for the first time In Canada, within the rec ■ollection of lawyers, a hotel was turned into a court of justice on Sunday, says a Montreal dispatch to The Herald. This event was followed by a determin ed effort on the part of friends of John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene to gain forcible entrance to their rooms. Ten of the stoutest officers of the Mon treal police force stood guard over the prisoners, and when Attorney Taschereau, the prisoners’ counsel, tried to get through their line he met anything but po lite treatment. The clash came about over a rumor that the prisoners’ friends had a plan to res cue them. It was necessary to get the prisoners out of the hotel, and so Judge Lefontaine was sent for and told that an important point was to be argued. Fol lowed by a dozen lawyers, the judge went to the corridor, and w.thln fifty feet of the rooms occupied by Gaynor and Greene he opened pourt. Lawyers for the defense declared they knew of a plot on the part of the United States authorities to kidnap the men at night and hustle them out of the country In the same way they had been brought from Quebec to Montreal. Mr. Tasche reau demanded that his clients be at once removed to the common jail, where they could be safely locked up. Crown Prose cutor Lemleulux had no objection, but Senator Danduran, acting for the United States, denounced the statement of a plot as a falsehood. It was then declared, amid great ex citement, that the reverse was the case, and the excuse of placing the prisoners In jail simply meant that as soon as the men were out of the door of the hotel hired men hiding near by would spring upon the party and drive them to a safe place. Judge Lefontaine said he would go in and see the prisoners, but Inspector Mc- Mahon shoved him back, and, backed up by the other nine men, shouted defiance to judge or lawyer who dared to try to get into the rooms. Some of the lawyers decided to see the attorney general, who is in the city, and point out to him that no one had a right to maintain a private prison. Others fol lowed them, and then the police cleared the corridors. CALLEDVARSHAirnJAR AND WENT TO DEATH HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 19.-Robert Sanderson, town marshal at Madison. Ala., shot and killed Lee Wiggins, a negro corporation hand. In that place Saturday night. Wiggins claimed that the city owed him 30 cents and demanded the town marshal to pay it. Town Marshal Sander son said he was not the proper authority to settle the claim. Wiggins drew a pistol and gave the officer the "lie,” wheraupon the negro was shot to death. Sanderson surrendered, but was released on bAid. GEN. JAMES G? IS DEAD IN RICHMOND RICHMOND, Va.. May 19.—General James G. Fields died at his home near Gordonsvllle last evening, aged 76. He was attorney general of Virginia during the "readjuster regime’’ and vice presi dential candidate on the Populist ticket with Weaver. General Fields lost a leg at Slaughter’s Mountain. He was an able lawyer. BISHOP WILIAM TAYLOR DIES IN CALIFORNIA BAN FRANCISCO.

NEW YORK, May 21.—The cotton market opened firm, two points higher to unchanged, in response to Liverpool bullish cables and very light receipts at all points In the belt. The English market had been looked to for an advance of 1% to 2 points, but at the time of our opening was net 2% to 5 points higher, with the tone firm. Immediately following the call leading commission houses and room bulls absorbed all offerings by the bear ele ment and Wall street interests and were in turn supported by further steady advances in the Liverpool market. Whereas July started at 8.89, it soon reached 8.98, while August ad vanced to 8.67. Trading at the higher prices was very active and general with sentiihent emphatically bullish. Th* private crop re ports were encouraging and weather state ments from Washington indicated clear or clearing conditions pretty much over the en tire belt. Nevertheless, the southern spot mar kets were described as firmer on improved ex port and southern mill demand. An advance of %d. in silver in London, more peace rumors from South Africa and reports that the King cotton mills of the south were soon to re open. helped to strengthen the courage of local friends of cotton.- There was a larger demand for the new crop months in the local ring than noted at any period since speculation in those positions started. Late in the forenoon ths market was quiet, but steady, with prices 3 to 4 points off from the top. The room appeared to favor some further ad vance. should the receipts continue light and should spot cotton advices from the south re port an improvement in prices.

NEW YORK, May 21.—Weather In the cotton belt today was perfect In every section, the only station near the cotton belt reporting rain being Chattanooga. Moreover the temperature was high enough and the absence of rain re ports left the bull element without opportunity for calling attention to alleged execessive mois ture. Nevertheless cables were quite bullish when we opened and the market here advanced 2 to 5 points. Continental buying at Liver pool was reported and New York rose 5 to 10 points during the first hour, with bulls tn full control for a while, when profit taking for the time being put an end to the upward trend. Both sides were confident, but the bulls ap peared to have the advantage, since Liverpool closed 2H to 6 advance. Nevertheless buyers were not eager. The spot market is believed by many to be the key to the situation and the willingness of mills to secure cotton Is too important to be Ignored, despite fine weather condition*. It is understood that New England mills are paying middling and similar reports are at hand from other sections. The receipt* are quite small everywhere, and while one side con, tends that the low price has checked the move ment, others contend that signs of exhaustion are dally multiplying. A see-saw market Is probable until the bureau report is made pub lic. on June 3d. Indications were for showers in the Carolinas and fair weather elsewhere. Wall street Interests appear again on the bull side. Grain and Provlaions. CHICAGO. May 31.—After a momentary eas ing of grains at the opening today bullish sen timent took hold of the pits and pressed prices up with a fair show of vigor. In wheat con ditions favored the bear side. Rains had fallen in most of the wheat and corn belt and the Ohio valley, which has been suffering for moisture for several weeks, had a good soaking. Ideal weather in the northwest, was clearing up to some extent and there was some hope of getting in delayed spring seed. Re ceipts. however, were still very small. St. Louis came into th* market for July stuff and the strength In corn brought a fair gain. Liverpool markets, which opened for the first time since Friday, showed a fair decline and influenced the early weakness. July opened H@>xc to He lower, at 74% to 74%@74%c, and advanced easily to 75575%c. Local receipts were only twelve cars, two of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 93 car*, making a total for the three places of 105 car*, against 146 cars last week and 239 car* a year ago. After the early show of strength in Wheat and July sold to 74%c there Was a selling pres sure put on the pit and July declined to a weak close, V*©%d down at 7<%c. Corn showed very good strength after the first few minute* of trade. Cables were in different but they influenced the market only momentarily. The principal bull factor wa* the small run of cars, only 30. There was some good buying and support by bull party, but there was little disposition to let go of stuff in holding. Country owners were making very light offerings. The market took on an active appearance early and July, which open ed %c lower, to %c higher, at 61 %c to 62%c, quickly topped 62V5®62%c. Corn lapsed into a dull market late In the dav and declined on fair selling until July clos ed, only slightly firmer %©%c up at 62%®62%c. Oats opened with a little better show of ac tivity, but there still seemed to be a wafting game on, especially in new July options. The cash demand was good, but this was partly offset by increased receipts and favorable crop reports. Mav was ou %c on some small trad ing. but July took hold well after opening un changed at 36%c, and sold up to 37%c. Re ceipts were 134 cars. Provisions started out rather weak on 8,000 head more hogs received at the yards than was estimated and on a consequent dip of 5c In yard prices. Offerings were liberal, pork and lard being sold freely. Some support came from the packers, however, and prices made improvements. July pork opened 7% to 2%c down, at 817.10 to 317.15, and sold to 317.17%; July lard, 5 to 2%c lower, at 310.12% to 310.15, and touched 810.1<%;<and July ribs 2%c lower to unchanged, at 39.62% to 89.65.

CHICAGO, May 31—Wheat was strong and higher early today, but sold off at noon on lack of demand and on selling orders from St. Louts. Later etreme weakness developed and the close wa* % to % lower. Sentiment was bullish early on eport demand buying by for eigner* of September. Small receipts and bad crop news helped the advance. The local crowd bulled the market on strength of corn. When the demand ceased liquidation set-in and there was a steady decline. Liverpool was % lower than Friday. The weather northwest was clear. There was some rain the southwest. Commission house* were good buyers of com today and the market was very strong. Har ris-Gates sold a little, but had no effect on the early market. The main influence was very small receipt* and country offers. In this connection It is claimed that cash house* have reduced the Ir business and this accounts in a measure for small offerings. Ther was rather free selling at th* advance and the demand being poor, prices eased off and nearly all of the gain was lost. The market closed with a small advance of the day. The same good buying of oats that put the market up yester day wa* again In evidence today. There was no pressure to sell and the buying by Bartlett Frazier advanced prices easily. The early strength of wheat and corn wa* a help and the late market was affected by their weakness, closing barely steady and a little lower to a little higher with July showing the greatest ad vance. Trade in provisions was strong and cash declines for everything on the list. Wool Quotations. ST. LOUIS. May 21.—W001, steady; territory and medium, 14©16c; fine, 11015 c; hoarse, 11014 c.

Fruit and Produce Letter. ATLANTA. May 22.—Eggs took a very unex pected change since Monday, and It Is impos sible to supply the demand at an advance of from one to two cents per dosen, how long this will last It would be guess work to predict. Hens continue very scarce, and liberal receipts will meet ready sale, at fancy price*. Spring chickens, large and small, are well cleaned up, and bringing paying prices. Stock peas find ing ready sale, while white and lady pea* are a drag on the market. Honey coming quite freely, but the demand has been steadier, than for many years past. Celery ready sale at $2.50 to $3.00 per crate. Cabbage in normal supply, moving readily at fair prices. Wax beans, for some reason, do not take well on our market, and will not sell when the rough green beans are to be had. both are In light receipt today, and liberal shipments will strike a good market. In our opinion, balance of the week. Tomatoes have advanced from 50 to 75 cents per crate, and It Is impossible to supply the demand, even at the advance. Fish of all kinds are finding ready sale, and recipts are not so liberal for the past three days, liberal shipments are advised, which no doubt will strike a good market the rest of this week. MAN, MAD FROM DRINK, RUNS AMUCK IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, May 19.—Peter Lineman, 30 years old, a farm hand employed by Charles Winner, near Greenvillage, has wrecked three houses and nearly killed Mrs. Winner.

When Winner and his wife appeared Line man hurled his ax at the woman and sbs fell, severely wounded. Lineman took up the weapon and visited the homes of two other families, breaking in the doors and destroying the furniture. Meantime Winner ran to the nearest tel ephone, half a mile away, and telephoned Sheriff Baker w;io swore in a posse of eight men. Before they reached the place, however, Lineman had fallen before a load of shot from a gun in the hands of a house owner and he was carried to jail. Mrs. Winner will probably die. bishop Totter has COMPLETELY RECOVERED NEW YORK, May 19.—Bishop Potter, who was taken suddenly ill some days ago, is again In good physical condition, according to his attending physlcan.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM How Men Develop Thlf Power and Use It to Influence Oth ers —Women, Too, Adept* In This Mysterious Art. A Reporter Makes Astounding Discov eries— Secret Methods Which Charm and Fascinate the a Human Mind. ** ’ High Priests of the Occult Reveal Jealously Guarded Secrets of Years A Wonderful New Book By Prominent New York Men. ♦ B . A wonderful new book *ntitled "The Secret of Power." has been Issued at an expense of over $5,000 by one of the leading colleges of the city of New York. Thl* book Is from the pen of th* ablest specialist* of modern times. The au thors gave away the copyright on condition* that 10.000 copies should be distributed to the public free of charge. The Columbia Scientific Academy is now complying with this contract, until the edition of 10,000 copies Is exhaust ed you can get a copy of this book absolutely free. The book is profusely Illustrated with the most expensive half-tone engravings. It is full of wonderful secret* and startling sur prises. and thoroughly explains th* real source of the power of personal influence. It fully and completely reveals the fundamental principles * of success and influence in every walk of Ufa Th<* hidden mysteries of personal magnetism, will-power and scientific character reading are explained in an intensely interesting manner. Two secret methods of personal influence ar* described, which positively enable any intelli gent person to exercise a marvelous influence and control over any one whom he may wish. These methods are entirely new and have never before been made public. A reporter has tried them personally and can vouch for their won derful power. * The' book also describe* absolutely certain methods by which you can read the character, . jj secrets and live* of every one you meet. No one ean deceive you. You can tell what voca tion Is best for you to follow. You ican know the secret power by which mind* of human beings are charmed and fascinated. Th* new est. latest and best system of physical and mental culture and magnetic healing is fully explained and Illustrated by beautiful half tone engravings. No such book has ever before been published. No such wonderful Informa tion has ever before been placed In th* hand* of the public. On account of th* mighty power and Influence placed In one’s hand* by thl* book, the legislature of the state of New York debated whether or not the *tate ought to permit its promiscuous circulation; but It wa* finally decided the good It would accomplish would greatly overcome the ill. and It* distri bution wa* not interfered witlf. Not long ago John D. Rockefeller, the rich est man in 'America, said in talking to a Sunday sdhool claas. that he regarded hl* *uo cess In life, largely to hi* ability to Influenes others. Lincoln, Lee. Napoleon and Alexander the Great, all won name and renown by their wonderful power of personal influence. Jay Gould piled up million* by thl* same power. J. P. Morgan organized the blllion-dollar steel trust and enriched himaelf by millions simply by his marvelous ability to Influence others. There are today thousand* of men with th* brains and education of Mr. Morgan who are practically pauper*. They have the ability to organize a trust, but they have not sufficient power of personal Influence. Personal Influence, will-power, stamina—call It what you will— has from the creation of man been the subtle force that has brought wealth, fame and re nown to those who were fortunate enough to possess It. This strange, mysterious influence is Inher ent in every human being. By the late meth ods explained by the New York specialist in human culture any intelligent person can de velop a wonderfully magnetic personality, and learn how to read the character, secrets and the lives of others In a few days’ study at hi* own home. You can use thl* marvelous power without the knowledge of your most intlmats friends and associates. You can use it to ob tain lucrative employment, to secure an ad vance in salary, to win the friendship and In fluence of other* to obtain a greater share of happiness from life. You can be respected, hon ored and become a leader in your community. If you are not fully satisfied with your pres ent condition and circumstances; if you long for greater success or more money; If you ar* not able to Influence others to the extent you' desire, the reporter would advise you to writ* at once for free copy of this great work now being given away by the Columbia Scientific Academy. Mrs. R. C. Young, of 312 Indiana street. Law rence. Kan., recently sent for copy of this book. After carefully examining it and testing the methods of personal Influence on her friend* and associates, she makes the following statemenu in a letter to a friend: "The instructions given by the Columbia Scientific Academy have been worth to me more than all the previous reading of my life. I wish every woman in this country could read their grand book.’’ Fred Perkins, of South Haven. Mich., says: "I have been In great demand since I read th* work of the Columbia Scientific Academy. Peo ple are amazed and mystified at the thing* I do. I believe I oould make $25 per day reading character alone if I were to charge for my ser vices. If any one would have told I would re ceive so much wonderful information I would have thought him crazy." Mrs. M Effie Watson, of Martinsville, Ind., says: "Could I have had access to such Infor mation in past years I could have avoided many misfortunes. This work of the Columbia Scien tific Academy shall be my guiding star the re maining days of my life." If you will send your name and address t» the Columbia Scientific Academy, Dept. 224 T, 1931 Broadway, New York city, this book will be sent to you absolutely free, postage prepaid. On account of the great expense involved ia preparing this book, the Columbia Scientific Academy requests that only people who are especially interested write for free copy—only those who desire to achieve greater success and better their condition In Ufa DEATH*dFRESPECfED~ UNION POINT CITIZEN UNION POINT.
