teE ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MCANIN0 JULY 5,n»i GETTING ANX1QUS aF haioofthe TARIFF ■ EIA fj' FECTSOF MORE ISLATION. ;MOCR.VTluW)OKGRESSMEN m obi sed to Pause-Reed end Hte Fol lowers at Their Old Tricks of Fili bustering—An Adjournment is Wanted Abeut July 12. h Washington. Juno 30.—Tho Demo- cmih- managers in the lionse have reached tlie poiut where they have been obliged to p iuse and consider whether ii is advisable to undertake to pass any more tariff bills this session. It is an undeniable fact that anumber of representatives are extremely anxious to t;et through the work of the sessioa ami adjourn at tho earliest possible mo ment, and they feel that their object t;.nnot be attained if any further tariff legislation is to be attempted. In this b lief they were borne out by the action v f the Republican minority, which promptly began to filibuster, under the leadership of ex-Speaker Reed, as soon as an attempt was made to resume con sideration of the tin plate bill. Morever, political considerations bare been brought forward to strengthen the arguments of members who ure averse to any more tariff talk and action upon ,uiv other tariff bills. The subject was the occasion for a special conference of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee. There ure three important tariff bills now pending bo- f< ve the committee, namely, the free lumber bill, tho free sugar bill and the bid placing iron ore on the free list. When the question arose as to wheth er the committee should proceed to act upon bills and determine the order of tA-a jient, it soon uppeared that politi cal considerations were involved, and the proximity of the presidential and cmigr-ssional elections was ulso taken mm account. Opiosition was made to immediate action on tho free lumb r D.li by some members osi the ground t’n.it its passage by tlio bouse might haw a damaging effect on the Dem i, emtio party in certain states—particu larly North Carolina, where the lumber industry is now of formidable propor tions. Then certuiu member* were nfrai l that tlie report of the free sugar hal would lie a disastrous politic d move in its results iu some of tho stab a where refining interests are large, and ether members dreaded the result in the iWtious of the passage of the free iron err bJl. In view of ihecouilict of views, it was decided that it would bo well to del; v consideration of the bills now bo- f,i> the committee for oue week, before which time another conference will probably be held. The matter of a final adjournment was also a question considered at the c.'iitcrenee. and it is understood that tiie resell ntion was practically agree I upon favoring adjournment on the J2tl» ut July. There was some disposition to tu ik.- ihe date later, but an earlier dale pi i vailed, especially as it was recognized that the senate would modify the reso Inn u hv fixing a later date, in confor uiity with a practice that, is always fol '•>wid Two of this members o»* iiu committee declared their purjiose to join iu a report recommending a later date for adjournment, so that tliebousa shall be compelled to pass tlie tariff bills J....V in the committee's hands. There seems to be but little doubt tli,-it tire tin plate bills, the silver and l.-nd ores bill, and the bill limiting to $1 ‘I in value the personal effects of t< u. i.-ts tlmt may be admitted free of ilu v. will all receive action at the hands id tae lionse, and be sent over to the senate before the session Is over. Go«*s Ov«r for n Week. In the senate, the anti-option bill has gone over for a week, without action, by the senate judiciary committee. In the house, Mr. Forney, from the committee on appropriations, lias re- p'.ru-d hack the legislative appropriation b il with the senate amendments, and m i\*ed the senate amendments be non- coiiCiirred in, atid a conference ordered. The motion was agreed to, and Messrs. K .rui-y, Dockery and Henderson, of Iowa, appointed conferees. The house has passed a joint resolution making a temporary provision for the support of the government. . ON TO OMAHA. 1 The Delegates to the Third Party Convention.

Hay good celebrated his go’den wedding, having been married fifty years ago. Mr. Hay good is a native of Clarke oonnty and is now seventy-five years of age. He was ordained as a Baptist minister at Mars Hill, on December 19, 1941. He has kept an cord of all the sermons he has preached during the fifty-one years of his ministry, and they foot np the large number of 3,110. He preached the first sermon ever preached in Atlanta. Mr. Haygocd has a sister Mrs. Sarah Thornton, of Athens, % and also another Cincinnati, June 30.—The national prohibition convention organize! by electing ex-Governor John P. St. John of Kansas temporary chairman. The name of A. F. Wolfenbarger, of Nebraska, Lr secretary, and a list of as sistant secretaries and sergeant-at-arms selected by the national committee met no opposition. A slight fight over the temporary rules prepared by the committee oc curred on the question of their adop tion, J. B Cranfield of Texas, taking the lead against their adoption. These provide 1 that only delegates present should be entitled to vote. This would have dt p rived a number of far off* states, especially those in the extreme south a part of their representation in the tem porary organization, as all their dnle- g tea could not come on account of the expense. He said that if th«se * roles were adopted it would leave the control o! the convcn.ion in states around Cincin nati. It wduld cost $3,500 to send the thirty-five delegates of Texa& here and they could not afford it. The tempor ary rules would probably be the per manent rules, Hemoved that each delegation have the right to cast its full vote whether all the delegates were here or not. After alively tilt Mr. Craufill carried his amendment on a rising vote, arid thin the rules with this amendment were adopted. The roll of states was called for the announcement of com mittee membership and then the convention adjourned until 4 o’clock, after given dirfetions to the committee to proceed at once to the work assigned thtjp. The most interest centered in the membership of the platform com mittee and the new national committee, At the afternoon session, the platform and national committees were announc ed. The credentials committee report ed 072 del* gates present—Louisiana and South Carolina -being the only states without representation. T ha presentation of the report of the committee on permanent organization recctninendir.g Colonel Ritter, of Indi anapolis, for permanent chairman and Sam Small for permanent secretary and reinstating the rn’e voted down in the morning giving states’ votes only for delegates pr* sent, was the signal for a fight.

Athens, Pa., June 18.—Never in the history of this lively boro has the com munity been so thoroughly stirred as at the present time, over the alleged at tempt by the noted prima donna, Mrs. W. H. Leydon, whose stage name is M’lle. Rocca Murilla, and who was f< r- merly the wife of Dr. J. W. Mu.relle, a well-known dentist of this boro, to get S ossession of her eighteen-year-old aughter, Kate Cobb MurreUe,a prepos- sesring, black haired and dark eyed miss, a perfect typj of the young south ern gill. The circumstances of the al leged kidnapping are, as near as can bj gleaned by witnesses of the affair, that Airs. Leydon, Katie’s mother, arrived in Athens and put up at the Stimson ho tel the lore part of the week, from Cal ifornia, where she had been playing an engagement WITH AN OPERA COMPANY and had made considerable money, her average salary being $150 per week On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Leydon secured tne services of Charles Fitzger ald, a hacktnan of this boro, and in com pany with Constable and Acting De tective Guy Hallon, of ’i'owanda, took a carriage and drove up Paine street to the corn, r of Elmira street, where a family by the name of Sheridan live. Here driver Fitzgerald halted his car- e and Mrs. Leydon sent a small boy to the residence of Dr. MurreUe, which is located in the next block. The boy’s instructions were to go to the MurreUe residence, ring the front door bell and ask f. r Katie MurreUe. If ske appeared at the door the lad was to tell her that Mbs Sheridan wanted to see her right away. The boy succeeded with his mtssage and Miss Murreile put in an appearance a few minutes afterward in front of the Sheridan house. As soon as she arrived Mrs. Leydon in a plead irg manner asked the young girl to get into the carriage, as she wanted to have a talk with her about *‘May,” meaning her grandmp, the abbreviation being southern patois for that name. It is claimed that Katit refused to talk with her iuotht p and that she was seized by the Towanda detective and her mo ther and forced into the carriage, which was rapidly driven toward Sayre. The young girl’s soreams attracted but little attention at the time, but the carriage had no„ been out of sight over a quarter of an hour before the news bad spread over tfie entire village, and wildest ex citement prevailed. A pleasu'e pa;ty consisting of James MoNamara, John nie Hill, Richard Hill, Geo>ge Lockett, Billy Sergeant, Ered MoAvoy, had jus: left Athens to drive to Waverly. They had beard a rumor of an abduction, but did not know who the parlies were. About half way between Athena and Waverly they ovwtook Fitzgt\r&la’a hack and heard the girl scream for he p. 'Cuey ordered - the driver to stoiF and warned him that if he did not they would take him over; to the pond and duck him until be was ] sorry for what he bad done. After consid erable parley the entire party was brought back to Waverly. Mibb Mure le being driven to her father’s Home, where he: mother kissed her good-bye. Mrs. Leydon, Detective Hailon and Driver Fitzgerald were then Fsryed with a warrant, charging them with as sault. The parties were subsequently arraigned before justice Nichols and held lor trial Monday forenoon, ‘ Jane 20. N. O. Harri?, the banker, became bondsmen for the appearance *fl the accused. He did so at the request Ipf the Messrs. Little, of Towanda, who are employed as Mrs. Levdon’s counsel. THE PASTIES INTERVIEWED. • A representative cf thi Telegram ar rived in the village this forenoon] and undertook to get the story of the $ rou ble from the parties interested find! suc ceeded, but not without some trojub'e. They all claimed at first that their : lips bad been sealed by their lawyers; list they give utterance to something that would prejudice the case when it pame up for trial on Monday. Everybody in Athens was ready to talk about tho af fair, but few knew anything of the his tory of the parties most concerned,! who are Dr. J. W. Murelle, Mrs. Wi H. Leydon, pronounced “Lidon,” and (Miss Katie Mnrelle, their daughter. The Telegram reporter first visited ( Dr. Mui oil’d home onFaine street. His pres ent wife, who is a daughter of Judge Nason, of L parte, Sullivan county, In this state, is a cripple and has to be moved about most of the time in au in valid ohair. She stated to the Telegram reporter that she was anxious that, the whole troth should be known as nearly all of the accounte thus far published had been garbled ones. Just aashe was about to retire to another room Dr Murelle’fl attorney came into the bpnsc and made considerable of * bluff spout newspapers and newspap-r-men in T . eral, and said thst be ahould insist that thr girl should not be interviewed -as .they had tesolvcd to say nothing until the trial took place. The reporter gave a little “Uncle John” talk, and 1-rer’ Johnson relaxed enough to allow the reporter to ask the girl an important question. Mrs. Murelle stated Jhat Katie was suftcrirg from theixeite iient over the affair, bordering on hysTria, and the repoiter had to promho| he wouldn’t scare her to death with « lent questions, as he was ncted farjanu near by bis excellent breeding. A Jer a wait of several minutes Katie appeared. She won her hair like a Stage ingenue, flowing on her shoulders with a slight half curl at the ends. She looked ter- sent my wife to New York to take mu sic lessons, under Max Mare'zek’s tui tion. I paid all her expenses. In 1877 Bbe again returned to New York, and, before I knew it, was sinsrirg in a vari ety theater in that city. From that time forth she drifted off' from me and re fused to come back ard live with me. In April. 1880, she returned and iu com pany with her, I started f .r the north. At Cincinnati we separated, she going toSf. Louis, where she had same kind of an eDgagomeut with an opera troupe. I came to Syracuseand afterwards iner ted at Wilkesbarre, where I lived for about five years. I often sent her mo ney to assist her, as she did not make more than half of her expanses. It was Bent with the understanding that he folks were not to know that I assister her, as she would often use a portion of the money to buy presents for the chil dren. I tried to get her to come to St. Louis and live with ms, bat she refused. X went to Providence, R. I., where she was playing an engagement at the Park thcati r, and there and then gave her the alternative of going back to live with me at Wilkesbarre or I would pro cure a divorce from her. She refused and I came home and instituted divorce proceeding’. Notice was served by pub lication. An absolute divorce was granted in the Luzerne county courts, December 4, 1S>2. The divi roe is a matter of record. My daughter was then living with her grand mother.Mrs. Cox, in AthenB, Ga. In March, 1888,1 met my daughter in Virginia and brought her to this place, where she has lived ever since. I have nothing to say against my former wife’s chastity. She is the mother of our daughter and I will not say aught against her.” MRS. LEYDON’S STORY. There is no doubt that quite a number of Athens people sympathize with Mrs. Leydon in her trouble. There’s a story that her daughter has been used as a servant by the present Mrs. Murelle, and has bad her proud southern spirit crushed by being obliged to wheel her about in an invalid chair. It is also claimed by Mr. Leydon’s attorneys that the divorce obtained by Dr. Mnrelle is a bogus one, and that Monday’s trial will briDg out some decidedly sensa tional features. A Telegram scribe saw Mrs. Leydon in the parlors of the Stim son house. She is a fine looking woman with an imperious, determined manner, as if she was born to command. But hir regal manner was only perceptible at the introduction. When she began to talk of Katie and their southern home and read extracts from her letters, her assumed bearing melted away, and she softened down into a tender, womanly, motherly talk that showed that her heart was in Athens, and it throbbed for her child just like any other true mother’s would. “Well, I will tell yon my story. We were married in 1868, by Rev. Robprt Elliot, bishop of Texas. My family is a proud and distinguished one, and boasts of the intimate friendship of the Cobbs, Marcys and ether first lac of Georgia. My father paid fer my musical ed ication and ic was only when Mr. Murreile failed in business and we became bard up fir money,that I took to the tt'ge to gain a livelihood. I took care of the family and really supported Mr. MurreUe for a long time I have receipts in my possession show ing that 1 have furnished him money. He can ridicule my going on the variety stage as much as be pleases, bujw'f.'wus tho variety stage that iguvt-u3 a living when be could notyearn one for us. He tried to mnfefi a living that way himself and .urfa given a part to learn, but failed and luid fo give up his engagement. When/he went to Wukesbarr* 1 secured a place through my own influence for him with Mr. Griswold, a dealer in min ing supplies. He received a salary from this source of $75 i>er month. In re- ard to his oomir gto Providence, he id ocfme and sent up his card under the assumed name of Williams to my room j&t the hotel after the petfoumance, hoping to catch me in delicto flagrant, but be failed. I occupied a room with Miss (Bella Romaine, and he was not admitted until he sent up his right namefand assured the clerk that he was my hpsband. He did threaten me at the time that he would get a divorce, but as 1 knew he had no gri unds upon which to procure one I paid no atten tion io the matter. As to the charge of kidnlpiog, it is absuid. If I had want ed to have stolen my child I could have mou ' ted the driver’s seat and driven across the Hue defying all pnrsners. simply wanted to talk to her and have her tf.» to New York and spend a couple of w|Eeks with her grandmother and if she wasn’t satisfied then she could re turn] to Athens. I have not come to Athens, 3,000 miles from Galifirnia, to be niade a fool of. I am prepared to stay; here until this . whole affair is shotyn up in its proper light. He made an agreement with me in Georgia in re gard to the possession of the child, of which I have a copy which yon can print in the Telegram if you wish. I have God and some good attorneys on my .side and I’m going to win. Here are isome letters showing how Katie wanted to come back to “May.”. EXTRACTS FROM KATIE’S LETTERS. “I would like to take wings and 11; home to you folks who love me besL. know father loves me but my dislike fort he North and the people is so much that sometimes I think If I had the money I would come to you.” “Yon must not think because I did not write to you for three or four weeks that I had forgotten you, for you are in my mind every night when I say my prayers, and-1 pray God that you and I will-have a home together again before we die.” “I can’t never brace up until I oan get with you or some one else besides mj surroundings. Of course, father is good and kind to me, but I can never be bappy until I get away, i have never been bappy since I have been here. Everybody seems so cross to me all the tiine, and I am so tender-hearted thai.1 can’t stand.it.” ]Mrs. Leydon further said thatshe had obtained a divorce from Dr. MurreUe aud bad married again. She said it al most broke her heart to think that Ef&Ue who was so well born should have to become a common servant when her grandmother wai ted to provide her a Stood home. The only dresses amlmon- ety Katie has had since she came to Atbers I sent her. Only last May I t ent her $15 in money.” It is claimed that there’s a fortun i iwaiting Katie and that is what the big i ight is being made on. Mrs. Leydon mas a large array of lawyers on her ride hi eh shovs that she has the the mon- y to fight her way through the courts. ‘I h&ve brought my trunk with me and irtend to stay till it’s oyer,” said Mrs. as fol- custody and control, or the r'ght to dis pose (hereof as be may choose of Jos eph C. H. Murrell, minor son of said parties to this agreement, without in terference by the said Rebecca L. Mur rell. Rebecca L Murrell is to have the sole custody and control or the right to dispose thereof as she may choose of Katie C. Murrell, minor daughter cf said parties without interference by the said Joseph W. Murrell. But the said parties are to have th right and privilege of communicating wish said children, the said Joseph W. Murrell with the said Katie C., and the said Rebecca L. Murrell with the said Joseph C. H., or the right to make per sonal visits and see said children as of ten as may be desired without hind rance or objection or obstruction, and in consideration of such division of said children, the said parties further agree that the house and lot in Athens, Ga., upon which homestead was taken some years ago, upon application cf said Joseph W. Murrell, shall be at once placed in the charge of Pope Banow, esq., or of L unar Cot.b, esq , or both of them, (both being of Athens, Ga.,) and sold at private sale, or upon order of court, if necessary to obtain such order, ar d the proceeds of si ch sale to be equ ally divided between tlie said Joseph W. Murrell, Joseph C. H. Murrell, Rebecca L Muirell and Katie C. Murrell. And if the said Pope Barrow and La mar Cobb decline to act as such agents, then said parties name and appoint James M Pace,of Covington, Ga., as such agent. This agreement executed in duplicate.
