ANOTHER SCENE.
IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY AND
THE LtWtnVEN AGAIN.
Democrats Caught Napping and
Counted In—And the Conger Bill
Was Passed—Great Confusion.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Washington, D. C., August 23.—In
the house the filibustering proceedings
against the Conger lard bill were re
newed as soon as the house met, the
democrats being led in their flghtfiiy
McClainmy, of North Carolina, an Alli
ance member, who, by the way, was
turned down in the recent congression
al primaries in his district. If the Al
liance people had been advised of the
stuff there is in this game little tar-heel
statesman they would have allowed him
to retain his seat in Congress. He is a
regular shoulder hitter, and has sur
prised some of the leaders by his adroit
methods/ and ways.
At 1:30 a roll call was had on the pas
sage of the bill and the vote has just
been announced, 126 ayes and 31 nay .
The democrats who failed to escape in
seo8on were counted by the speaker and
a quorum was declared, and so the bill
slipped through. There was much ex
citement attendant upon the passage of
the bill.
The house then fell into great confu
sion. After the passage of the bill Mr.
Mason, of Illinois, and Mr. Funston, of
Kansas, exchanged some remarks, sotto
voce, and otherwise, which resulted
finally in Mr. Funston’s calling out to
the Illinois man, “You are a liar.”
The house immediately went into an
uproar, and a dozen members sprang to
their feet. Mr. Cheadle demanded that
Mr.Funston’s words be taken down.
Mr. Funston then apologized to the
house for his charge on iiason. The
house is now considering the eight-hour
labor bill.

cious bulldog and death may result from
the injuries received.

hood, and efforts were made to relieve
him.
Nothing that was done could drive
the dog away.
As a last resort the dog’s mouth was
prized open, and in this manner tho
child was freed.
A physician was summoned, and
everything that was possible wa s done
to relieve the child’s sufferings !

covery.

A Lively Secne in Minneapolis Yes
terday.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Minneapolis, August 29.—The cases
of the six enumerators, charged with
conspiracy to pad the Minneapolis cen
sus, were called before United States
Commissioner Odell, yesterday.
United States District Attorney Bax
ter considered Commissioner O’Dell
biased, on account of being a Minneapo
lis man, and he refused to prosecute,
but issued a new warrant returnable
before Commissioner Moore, of Winona,
at SL Paul.
Mr. Hart, of the defense, protested
against this move*. Mr. Baxter said
action was t&ked under the directions
of the department of justice at Wash
ington.
This reply made Attorney Hart an
gry, and he called upon the spectators
to tar and feather the district attorney.
The crowd applauded, but made no
move to act. The commissioner did not
rebuke this incendiary outbreak.
Mr. Baxter refuses to prosecute until
the cases are transfered, and O’Dell re
fuses to adjourn court. The court was
still in session at at a late hour. His
deputy marshals, heavily armed, are in
the court room prepared to act in case
anyattempt ft made to harm the dis
trict attorney.
In the history of the horrible tortures
and wonderful escapes from deatn none
furnish no more thrilling details, nor af
fecting scene than that of last Mon Try
when Mr. Robert Sharpe and & negro
were buried in the bottom of a well.
Mr. Gus Stevens was in the city yes
terday and gave us the particulars of
the accident and the rescue,and while his
graphic description of the affair cannot
be put on paper, an idea can be gotten
of the frightful situation of the two
men by the following.
Mr. Stevens is the senior member of
the firm of Stevens Huff & Co., of San
dy Cross, whose well it was. the men
were engaged in working upon. They
an* hired by the above firm, and Mon
day were sent down into a well to fix a
pump. The well had a rock wall and
was about 20 f eet deep.
It seems that the negro noticed the
crumbling begin at the top, and made a
jump to get out in time, but too late to
effect his escape. Down came the rocks
upon him and Mr. Sharpe burying both
many feet under the surface of the
earth. So soon as the accident was dis
covered work was begun with intense
vigor in removing the earth and stones,
though little hO(>e was had for the lives
of the men,
(Tails were made, but with no answer
for a long time.
Mrs. Sharpe was near the opening
and almost frantic with grief cried for
her husband to answer. Finally
smothered voice was heard, and by
keeping extremely quiet a few words
were distinguished. They were:
“Good-bye. dear wife; the water
rising rapidly. I will soon be dead.’
No one can depict the feelings of the
wife. Here within a few feet was her
beloved husband, slowly awaiting death
and nothing could be done to save him
Those engaged in the work of rescuing
and the onlookers were greatly affected,
and the horror of the situation was
made stronger by the agonizing tea:
the wife.
Work was continued with ren
vigor, and finally at a depth of about
sixteen feet, the negro was found. At
first all supposed him dead. Blood was
pouting from gashes on his head, and
he bore the appearance of a dead man.
On lifting him out, however, and ex
anxining him, it was foundjhal he wa>
merely stunned, and his wounds were
not at all serious.
The excavation was then rapidly
pushed until Mr. Sharp was reached.
He was perfectly conscious, but weak
and badly bruised. He could talk,
however, and his picture of his suffer
ings rivals those experienced by Tanta
lug.
He says he was silting with his back
agabist the rock wcT, and working on
the pump when the first wa.-nin
received that the wall was falling upon
him. He immediately threw one arm
over his head to protect it from the
s-ones which tumbled down upon him
and pinned him in this position.
Some of them were large and by tliei.-
fall gashed and bruised him terribly.
So securely pinned was he, that not a
muscle could be moved save the fingers
of one hand. Just where this was fas
tened was the only space through which
air could enter, and at times he was
almost suffocated. The opening wouIn
occasionally be closed by the settling
of the dirt, and by the moving o! y
his fingers he could cause the openi
to again allow air to pass.
Once or twice he effected this
great difficulty* and before he accom
plished it, was at the point of deal
suffocation.
This horrible state can be better im
agined than expressed, but the horror
was increased by the rapidly xising
water.
This, which was only a few inches
deep when the crumbling took place,
was up to his shoulders at the time the
negro was rescued. Mr. Sharp says the
time between the rescue of the negro
and his own seemed a century, and at
times he was so near crazy as to long
fora- speedy death. The water rose
more slowly, however, and when taken
out, was not quite up to bis chin.
He is now in bed and in a serious
condition, though it is thought he will
recover. > „
The negro is out and walking around
and will be ready for work in a day or
two. •
. Their escape Is miraculous, and their
sufferings such as will have to be de
picted by the imagination of our read
ers.

ANOTHER NEW ENTERPRISE.

Bag Factory. -
- Athens is to have a bag factory.
For a long time the subject has been

DURSTON’S BURGLAR.
Richard Durston, bachelor, had always
been afraid of burglars and susceptible
of old maids. He could not remember,
the time when the dreactof being robbed
or sued for breach of promise was not
upon him. In other respects he was
quite courageous. He never seemed to
feel nervous about dogs, lightning or
fire. He even dared to do right now
and then. On the whole he was as
plucky as the average man,*in spite of
his conviction that the time would come
when ho would have trouble with a bur
glar and a suit at law with an old maid.
Durston, as you know, lives in a band-
some "Bouse on an uptown cross street.
He lias always held that the majority of
burglaries are effected through the
treachery of servants. Ho has, there
fore, kept bachelor’s hall for many years
with the aid of only one assistant—an
old woman—a kind of heirloom in his
family. As he generally dines at his
club bo has managed to live very com
fortably without keeping a boarding
house for men and' women who might
be in league until robbers. His age A
housekeeper is not ambitious. He-feeL?
confident that she will never sue him for
breach of promise nor .permit a burglar
to make a breach in the house. - ^
Durston’;; library and bedroom are on
tho second floor. The old woman sleeps
in a back room on the floor above. She
is very deaf, so when Durston wishes to
call her ho touches a button at the head
of his bed. This sends a mild electric
current through Hie reclining form of
the housekeeper upstairs. She approves
of tltfs process in the belief that it tends
to hold her rheumatism in check. It
seems jt very shocking way. to treat on
old woman, however. And then Durston
must find it unpleasant to discharge a
servant two or three times a day.
But revenons a nos burglar. One
night last winter Durston reached home
rather earlier than usual. As was his
custom, he examined the doors and win
dows in tho lower part of the house and
then went to tho library. He found his
smoking jacket and slippers in their ac
customed place. A wood fire was crack
ling in tho grate, and a decanter of
whisky and a box of cigars tempted him
from the center table. Durston smiled
contentedly as he drew an easy chair-to^
ward the fire. Life was very pleasant to
him. He was one of those happy bach
elors who have no regrets. Not that
Durston lacked sentiment. Far from it.
In fact he was not at all what the world
calls a practical man.
No, Durston was inclined to look /at
the romantic side of life, and as he
smoked a perfecto and sipped his whisky
and seltzer in front of the blaze that
night he indulged in ifhaginings that
would have shocked the hard headed
keeper upstairs worse than did her
private electric current the day the bat
tery was overcharged.
Durston had for the moment forgotten
all about old maids and burglars. He
wanin' a condition of bodily and mental
reposo that drove into outer darkness all
the unpleasant things of life. Finally
the conviction came upon him flowly
that- it was time to go to bed. He fought
hard against the proposition, but there
was no escape for him. Looking at his
watch he found that it was long after 1
o’clock. Turning out the lights in the
library he entered his bedroom. He was
still in a state of sleepy contentment.
Just as he was nbont to put out the gas
he was startled by a slight noise that
seemed to come from the cellar. He lis
tened intently. Five minutes passed, but
there were no further sounds from below.
Durston surrounded himself by perfect
darkness and crawled into bed. But he
could not sleep. That unlucky noise had
rendered him feverish. The thought of
burglars had destroyed his serenity of
mind. His revolver lay on a chair by
tho bedside and he kept his hand on it
’ for some time. The weapon seemed to
whisper to him: “Peace, Durston; goto
sleep, iny child. I will not go off until
the burglar comes.”
This assurance on the part of the pis
tol quieted Durston somewhat and he
was beginning to feel very sleepy again
when lie heard a lighVstep on tho stairs.
There was no mistake about it. After
keeping sullenly aloof for years Dur-
tou’s burglar had come at last. At first
ur bachelor felt a cold chill creeping
p his spinal column. Then, as the
urglar carefully stole through the hall
and entered the library, Durston was
astonished to realize that he was lying
jn bed with a pistol in his hand, a house
breaker in the next room, anil that he
was beginning to enjoy the adventure.
Tho thought flashed through his mind
that even a breach of promise ease might
not bo as horrible aa he had imagined.
“The reckless fellow seems to think
that there’s nobody In the house,’'
chuckled Durston as he heard his visitor
light a burner in the library. Then qui
etly getting out of bed and stepping
gently to tho door of his bedroom Dur
ston pointed the revolver at a small,
dark, rather well dressed man who stood
in the center of the library looking about
him eagerly.
“Pat up your hands or I’ll send a ball
through you,” cried Durston sternly.
The dapper little burglar saw at a
glance that bis game was up.
“Dou’t do anything rash,” he remarked
calmly, helping himself to a stiff dose of
Durston's whisky and then lighting one
of his unwilling host’s cigars.
Durston was astonished and amused.
“Now that I’ve got my burglar after
waiting for him so many years I might
as well make a little pleasure out of him,’
he said to himself. Then to the burglar
“YonVo a cool one. I congratulate yoi-
on yc-ur nerve. You will pardon me,
however, if 1 ask you to tafeo the trouble
to lay aside your cigar for a moment and
step to the telephone."
The burglar looked sharply at Durston,
who still covered him with tho revolver..
There was that in the bachelor’s face
that shook the coolness of the intruder.
He walked quickly to the telephone.
“Take down that pamphlet there,”
continued Durston. “Now look up the
‘call* for the precinct station house.
Have yon found it?"
“Yea"
“Ring up the central office.”
The burglar sullenly turned the crank.
“You know wlrnt to do now. Go
ahead.”
A glance at the revolver was sufficient
tqg the frightened littlo man. Ho b«i£ly
gave the required number to the op-
Arofn* • .
erator.
“Is this
the
precinct station
house?” he asked after a time. '’All
right. Wait a moment.’*"
“Tell -them you’re a burglar and want
a-policeium sent here at once to arrest
you,” demanded Durston. smiling
gnnuy.
‘Will one policeman do? they ask,
said the burglar,
“Use your own judgment in that mat
ter,"’ remarked Durston politely.
“Hello, hello! Yes, one will da very
nicely. Hurry him up, please. Yes.
Thank you. Good night.”
"You did very well, commented our
bachelor. “If you robbed as cleverer as
you telephone you would not bo where
you are now. I must put you to the in
convenience of stepping intojpy bedroom
for a moment. I want my housekeeper
to see a nice little burglar who has or
dered his own arrest.
Dnrston, with his pistol still in hand,
touched the electric button at tho head
of his bed. A few moments later fihe
housekeeper, en neglige, entered tho li
brary. With a cry of despair she clasped
tho burglar to her bosom. “My-son, my
son, why are you here?’
Durston' was amazed. He had not
known that his housekeeper had a history.
Is this one of your boys?’ he yelled at
her.
My only son,” she sobbed. “I have
not seen him for twenty years, but 1
recognized him at once. Is lie a friend
of yours, Mr. Durston?”
Our bachelor knew not what to say.
His housekeeper, as I have said, was an
inheritance from his parents and ho had
always been fond of her. She had taken
good care of him all these years and he
hated to tell her that her son was a crim
inal. *
“Yes,” he shouted, “he dropped in to
have acigar with me. I knew you would
like to see him: But he is obliged tp go
now. He wants to catch a train £or
Montreal. Kiss him farewell. He won’t
be back for some time.”
“Thank you, sir,” murmured the burg
lar. “You have a good heart. ”
A few minutes later Durston stood ou
the front steps of his residence and
watched his housekeeper’s son as he Jhnr-
ried down the street.
“What shall I say to tho policeman?'
was the problem vexing him.
Yon remember the mysterious item
that appeared in thp newspapers the
next morning? Durston explained his
telephone message on the ground that
he had been suffering from nightmare.
Tho above is the first public statement
of the facts in tho case. I hope Durston
won’t get into a scrape by this narration.
As a good citizen he had no right to lot
the burglar escape.—Edward S. VanZile

_ THE SIREN SONG.
I heard it In the happy Isles
Blown down the dying day.
The summer song whose lilt beguiles
The wanderer to 6tay;
•
It followed in tho shore wind's breath,
The magle still was strong.
Although the note of change and death
Has touched the Sirens' song.
They lure not now to new delights
Beyoud what life has known.
To happy days and happy nights
In summer's slumber zone.
“Come hither, hither, come and dream
Of years dear! long ago.
Vntii the earth and ocean seem
The world that poets know.
“Come back and dwell with hopes long
dead
And what will never be!
Avert thine eyes and turn thine head
From the world’s way over sea!
“For here ore drowsy dreams to cheat
The eyes that else would weep.
And inland seas to bathe the feet.
And quiet vales for sleep.”
Fuss, phantom music, pass away I
The purple isles grow dim;
The glamour of the dying day
Fades on the ocean’s rim.
Enchantress of the mossy caves.
Sleep by thy drowsy streams;
Tho cradle of the rocking wares
’Is worth a world of dreams'
Bo bo tho haven near or far.
Blow winds and freshen sea;
Tho morrow’s hope, the morning star,
Tho living world for me!

Steel Strengthened by Glycerine. -
It has bSen found that the Kedeinann-
Tilford steel process, which consists of
treating the metal in a bath into which

far beyond any record in that respect
that has yet been established by either

There is a growing tendency among

fact that some elements seem not to
have formed in the sun, whilo yet more

Powder
ABSOLUTELY pure
LIVELY POLITICS-
Hall County not Satisfied with the
Choice Made.
Special by News Telegram Association. '
Gainesville, Ga., August 28.—Pol
lies are certainly getting lively in Hall
county, and the future maybe noticed
with interest.
The usual custom has been for years
to select one representative from the
city of Gainesville. This has always
given satisfaction all aronnd, bnt this
year the Alliance chose both represent
tatives and also the senator from the
countv, leaving the town as high aud
dry as the desert of Sabara. The town
people—the merchants, lawyers, doc
tors, etc., have not said a word, think
ing that the Alliance would concen
trate upon their candidates, and that
nominations would be useless. But
such now seems not to be the case.
The Alliance themselves, or a goodly
number of them are dissatisfied with
the present arrangement. The princi
pal objection seems to be that a great
many from the country want a town
man to be one of the members, to rep
resent town and country. The writer
has just talked with one of the county
AUiancetnen, who said:
“I am an Alliance man, and I live in
ihe countiy, but I am not satisfied with
the candidates. T want one man from
town.”
The “straightouts” have called a mass
meeting at the court-house for Tuesday
next, and the purpose is to put out a
new ticket all the way through.
The friends of the present candidates
have called a meeting at the court-house
to-morrow night, to try and forestall or
quell the apparent breach in the party.
