Atlanta, Jan. \—[Special.]—If you
go down the Richmond & Danville
railroad to where the road is crossed by
the Decatur wagon road, yon oan see
two passenger engines chained and lock
ed to keep them from getting away.
There is a big chain through the
wheel of each engine, and it is securely
locked with a pad-lock.
It is a clear case of the grip—the grip
of the United States.
It was about l o’clock this afternoon
when Deonty Marshal McDonald wefit
to the Air-Line yards with his chains
and his locks an execurion from tbe
United States court.
One big engine had been fired up to
take a train out at 3 o’clock aod the
other was just being fired up.
It did n»t take long to chain the en
gines and they will not get away for
the present:
The cause of the lock-up is this: Two
years ago Mr. Shumate, a mailing clerk,
was hart io accident and sued the road
for damages. He engaged Messrs. Hoke
& Burton Smith to represent bim. and
nearly two months ago there was a«01-
sent verdict rendered foa $8,750. Al
though tbe road by tbe consent verdic*
admitted tlie damages tbe money was
not forthcoming fast enough to suit Mr
Shumate. The engines were therefore
levied on and the money will have to be
paid before tbe wheels go round again

General Master Workman T. V. Pow-

Staies to head a delegate to a conference
to “arrange plans and per/ect measures
for aggressive educational and political
work preparatory for tlie national politi
cal campaign of 1892.”
The real object of the conference will
be nothing more or less than aii attempt
to organize a third party, carrying out
the scheme proposed at the convention
of the Farmers’ Alliance. The conven
tion issued a call for a conference to or
ganize ji third |tarty, to take place at .
Cincinnati on Feb. 23. In his circular
Mr. Powderly says:
“At an informal conference of the of

of'those who signed the call at Ocala, it
was agreed to postpone the Cincinnati
conference until after the industrial con
ference had met and agreed upon its
platform of |>riiiciplea.”

Charge-
Roxk, Ga., Jan. 8.—Will Owens, who
shot and killed Annie McGallie on-the
night of Dec. 31, 1890, had-his prelimi
nary triaj la-fore Justice Walter Harris.
He "was represented by Mr. E. P. Tread-
away. Solicitor General Nunnally ap
peared for tbe state. Tlie evidence was
as follows:
On tbe night in question, Owens and a
friend went to the house of two colored
girls, Annie McCallie and Lula Draper.
Wfiile Owens was sitting ou a trunk
playing with a self-cocking revolver,
Annie McCallie made some remark, and
Owens said: “Annie, if you say that
again I’ll shoot you.” About that time
tire pistol tired.
Annie was allot in the neck, and died
almost immediately. The defense
claimed that tiie shooting was accidental;
llntt the deceased and defendant were in
the habit of playing together frequently;
that there had been no cause at all be
tween lliem. The defendant ran off im
mediately after the shooting, but was
captured last Saturday at Weaver’s
Station, Ala., and brought back to Rome.
The justice bound tlie prisoner over to
the March term of Floyd superior court.

] -lory of ctopeinel.t, long concealed 1
| .deutity and final di-a-overy in a mad
to use came to light iu the county emu t
1 this morning. In 18s2 Herman F. Bee
■ me whs a prospeious tailor living in
i New York Gi y. Surrounded by a wile
; md children lie lived happily un il an-
i other woman, , whose name has now been
1 forgotten by the unfortunate imbecile,
j persuaded Boetiue to elope with her. Six
and a half tears ago the fireiug couple
came to Chicago and their New York
friends lust all trace of them.
Boehne changed his name and was
known here as Albert Westfield. But
be did not prosper under tbe changed
conuitious. The woman for whom he left
home deserted him and Boehne became
deranged, and iu June, 2899, he was
committed to an asylutn, where his con
dition has steadily grown worse until
now he is an imbecile. His wife suc
ceeded at last in finding him, and today
he was brought into court that his iden
tity might be established to the end
that at his death his wife may be able
to collect upon a life insurance policy
for $10,000 made payable to her. His
identity was fully proven.
