Telia of the Fate of the “Clementina.
Brunswick, Ga., July 10,—Hero is
news from the briny deep.
In a beer bottle near the oyster fao
tory in Dupree’s creek, a few days since
was found a paper about 4x6 inches.
It was very badly disfigured, almost
rotton.
It was put in possession of The Times
yesterday, and alter a close investiga
tion it was found to contain these
word9, written in a small hand with
pencil:
“On board Spanish barkentine, Sept
8th, 1888, N. Lat. 28 deg. 20 min, T-ong
60 deg. 7 min. W. Vessel disabled in

writer, Charles J. Reed, of Detroit,

one who may pick up the bottle to
send this to Oliver J. Reed,
at No. 21 Courtlandt street. New York.
“The vessel left Barcelona over sixty
days past. Name of vessel 'Clement!

The Clementina is well known here,
as is Captain Salvador. She has been
in this port, but not since the time of
the date on the note. Some say she did
not go down at that time, but claim
that is still in existence.
Others believe the note.

Habeas corpus piooeedings were re

held on Friday last in the Grand Jury
room, before Judge Peck. The writ
was dissolved, and a decision rendered
leaving the daughter in the care of the
father as guardian, and allowing the
mother to viBit her in the presence of
certain specified persons. It seems
that there were previous legal papers
making the father the guardian, which
could not be overlooked; also the girl
expressed her preference to remain
with her father.

To the Editor of the Athens Gazette:
I saw on the first page of your last
week’s issue a card from Juatice Nich
ols, ending tor correction in your next.
As your answer,.so fltti. gly and con
clusively made in a few words at the
m u gin of his call, seemed to indicate
that you had done all you felt called
upon to do, and as Mr. N.chols will
probably not be satisfied with so brief
explanation of his proceedings in tbe
Mum Ue-Leydon case, which ba$
finally result-d in the return of the
daughter to tbe home and family of her
father through the decree of Judge
Peck, before whom the final bearing
was had on Friday last, we feel inclined
to give to the public some pirticipa
tions of Mr. Nichols in that affair yet
untt Id.
In tbe first place, the parties were arc
rested on a charge of assault and bat
tery, and when brought before bis
honor were duly arraigned, plead “not
guilty,” and gave bail for tbeir future
appear.nce on the next Monday. Mon
day the original complaint was allowed
by Mr. Nichols to be amended
by adding further ebarg- s of
conspiracy to deprive tbe child of her
liberty, the father of the custody of bis
chi’d, and to commit an . assault a* d
battery, and also that Mrs. Leyden,
Halim and Fitzgerald did deprive tbe
p'lild of her liberty, the father of her
custody, and did commit an assault and
battery. Mr. Nichols allowed this
amendment. We are informed tbe law
reads that if the defendants desire a ju
ry trial before a justice they shall ask
for it ou their beir g first brought be
fore him, and tbe jury must then be
struck. But notwithstanding tbe fact
that they had waived ibis right of jury
trial when first brougLt in, yet on Mon
day oouneel for d« fendantsasked for an

trial, and a jury was struck. O i Tues
day Mr. Nichols revoked the jury trial
and dismissed (he jury, and on tbe
same day again granted a jury trial and
empanelled another jury, divid

claiming jurisdictions over

puted by tbe lawyers. On the hearing

A Fierce Battle Fought Between Union
and Non Union Miner*.
Wallace, Idaho. July 12.—The
strained situation in Cteur de’Alene la
bor troubles culminated between 3 atul
0 o’clock in tbe morning. The events of
the day previous consisted of challen^t-e
fsotu tbe non-union men at Frisco Mid
Gun iniaee to the union miners at the
town Of anft-eeetned to indicate a
!y rupture. Both the Gem and
is00 mines were guarded by men lx?-
biod barricades, armed with Winches
ters, and as ths canyon is narrow where
the mines are located, the men behind
the barricades could sweep the two rail
road tracks and tbe country with bul
lets. Tiie Gem mine barricades were
within 800 feet of the center of the town
Gem.
At 3 (/clock a miner from Gem started
from Burk. When opposite Frisco mi mi
he was fired upon. He ran buck several
hundred yards to Gem. where the shot
had been fired, and soon the miners in
town gathered with arms. They march
ed in a body toward the Frisco mill,
located directly in front of the mine,
When scarcely within rifle range, a vol
ley from Frisco mill greeted the miners
aud lead whistled all about them. They
scattered, aud a regular battle ensnod.
One miner and one non-union man were
killed and six wounded during the en
gagemeur. The miners, in the mean
time, went aronnd the hills np the enn
yon above tbe miners, loaded a Car with
750 pounds of giant powder and sent it
down the truck toward the Frisco mine.
Directly in front of the mill the explo
sion occurred, shattering the mill to
splinters, making it a complete wreck.
At 8 o’clock a. m. a truce occurred
and the sheriff, district attorney and
deputy United States marshals appeared
on the scene. The train was stopped
by an armed gnard at the Gem mine.
The sheriff took the mail on his shoul
ders aud passed on to Gem. The guar Is
leveled their rifles at him but dropD id
them when they learned his identity.
At Gem several hundred men were
gathered in the streets with rifles aud
revolvers. Peace negotiations were im
mediately set on foot tqid at .12 o’clock
the non-uniou force surrendered to the
union men.
Ths number of killed, so far as can be
learned, ta four aud about ten wounded,
though there may be bodies under the
Frisco mill. Frisco and Gem were the
only non-union places in the east end of
the Coeur d’Alene.

came to Athens under a false ntme,
A firm, quick btep sounded behind her
on the hard country road, and though
she well knew whose step it was, and her
heart throbbed and her breath came
quicker, she only turned her head non
chalantly and said flippantly:
“Oh! It is you?”
“Yes, it is me. You knew it was me.
Are yon going to throw me over?” and
the big fellow’s voice shook and his fair
face flushed with pain.
“Throw you over! Gentlemen never
nso slang—to ladies.”
“You know wbat I mean. Jean, are
yon aware that you refused to dance
every dance with me today?”
-“I really forget; my memory, you
know”
“One moment, if yon please, and then
1 have done. Is it yes or no?”
“Hunt, don’t l>e stupid. You know !
hate to be remarked on.”
“And so do I, and 1 will not again be
subjected to the remarks 1 heard today.
Once more, is it yes or no?”
“Well, no, then, if you press the
point.”
“Be it so.” And, with a grave bow.
Hunt Ashly turned and was gone.
Pretty Jean Inslow was stunned for a
moment, then swallowed a gulp in her
throat as pride battled to the front.
“Let him go. If a mail is such a fool
that he can’t see—pshaw! nobody
cares.”
And then, to prove that nobody did
care, she sat down and cried until 1-e
pretty eyes looked like a stewed ferret’’
and her pretty little nose bad the ap
pearance of an apoplectic lobster.
“There’s one thing morally certain,
she continued—“of all things iu tlio
wide world there’s nothing I hate like
men.
This last remark was made ont loud,
and intended for the benefit of tlie trees
and tlie wide eyed purple violets: but,
alas! it reached the ears of a tall fellow
with blond hair, who stood just on the
other side of tlie blossoming hedge.
He gave a slight whistle aud com
pressed his lips a little firmer as he
strode off under the low, drooping trees,
without once looking behind.
Well, I have done it now. I’m glad
he heard me say I hated him. Nobody
cares. I’ll go to the dance tonight with
Phil, and flirt too.”
And Jean, with her h*ad very high iu
the air, tried to persnade herself that
she really didn’t care.
Hunt Ashly went on d» wn the road
through the shaded village street and
stopped at the gate of a vine wreathed
cottage. A black eyed, pleasant faced
girl was tying np some of the vines on
trellises.
“Bess,” he said, helping her twine up
a golden lipped jasmine, “will yon go t(
the dance with me tonight?”
What? Where’s-Jean?”
Quarreled.”
Ah! 1 see. I’m invitel for cat’s paw
eh?”
No. I asked you because I did not
wish to go alone.
“Well, all right, I’ll go. The fact is.
I’ve quarreled with Phil, and—and I’d
rather go with you than not.
Jean and Bess were the two prettiest
girls in the village, and the two best
dancers besides, and that night when
Jean and Phil appeared Bess and Hunt
had just finished the first set.
Each took in the situation at a glance.
Bess and Jean called each other hard
names under their breath and hated
each other in a small minded, womanly
way intensely. The men stood and eyed
each other fiercely and pulled their
mustaches, and looked as if it wo'ttld
give them the most exquisite pleasure
to annihilate each other.
Phil,” said Jean, “come out on the
piazza with me.”
The piazza? Oh, certainly!. Bat
where are they going?"
“Following us; it seems."
Close as their own shadows Hunt and
Bess stuck to. them, and, though there
were a great many tender things uttered
on both sides, there was certainly not
very much scope for so called flirtation.
“Bes3,” presently called Jean, “are
yon going boating tomorrow?”
“Yes, perhaps.”
“Miss Bess is going in my boat Whose
boat do you grace, Miss Jean? (Con

“Oh, Phil’s, of .course,” leaning ten
derly toward him. (“I hate Bess Miller!
Hta boat, indaed!")

Oh, this is- too much! To make us

A whispered colloquy:
"Bess, you choose first.”
“Oh, no! Jean, you choose.”
The young men stood regarding them
with owlish gravity.
“You will catch cold if you do not
hasten,” from the boats.
They might save our pride. Fm aw
fully chilly, Bess.” (Sneeze.)
“So am I, oh!” (Two—three sneezes.)
Then Mr. Hunt Ashly, with horrible
visions of cold and catarrh, walked np
to Miss Jean Inslow and prisoning the
two little hands in one of his, and en
circling the drenched, trembling little
fignre, kissed her flower face aflame.
“Now will yon come?’
“Yes, Hunt.” And Meekness walked
obediently to her cockle shell namesake.
“I wouldn’t have done it, Bess,” mur
mured Phil, after he had performed tlie
same operation, “if yon had come your
self."
Miss Meekness Number Two followed
the lead of Meekness Number Oue, but
gave oue last feminine claw.
And tomorrow was come, and Bess
tripped over to see Jean.
Marvelons, what friends these two
had become! There was never such a
thing in the world as a cold—never!
“Hem! have you seen anybody today?”
“No. Have you seen some one?’
“No." (Intelligible very.) “Oh, there’s
yours at the gate!”
Oh, and yours np the rood."

Coquettes make tho most submissive
wives, they say, and, moreover, she said
a great many other foolish things to
that big, enraptured fellow, who fell
down, figuratively speaking, aud kissed
the priuts of her tiny boots.
And Phil and Bess under th* amber
lipped jasmine bower had their own lit
tle explanations.
“You said you would nev«r ask me
again, Phil. You swore it”
“And did 1, sweetheart?”
“No-o; but somehow”
“But somehow 1 did, didn’t I* Bless

And the ring fitted so nicely, and was
so becoming to the little brown hand

would. And Jean did, and so Bess did.

Male Mortality in Hew Orleans.
There seems to be something pretty
serious the matter with the men ofNew
Orleans. .There are 15,000 more women
than men there; nevertheless five men
die to every four women. The trouble
comes between the ages of twenty-one
and fifty. Between the ages of thirty
and fifty the ratio of mortality is nearly
two men to one woman. Among whites
and blacks the same Curious state of
things prevails. The doctors cannot ex
plain why it happens so, but it is evi
dent that there is going to b*»s corner
in males in New Orleans uuiees some
one finds out. The excess of women be
gan after the war, and has been increas
ing ever since, and especially during the
last twelve years.—Atlanta Constitution.
