THE SOUTH S SI’OR f.

Southern Bali League.
ATLANTA'S VICTORY OYER MiCOS.
Tha Macon* Were l'na'„le to Bolve th
“Conover Curve,” and Were Caused
Around the li amund to
Tune of 18 to Nothing.
Atlanta, April 12.— The Sotithern
Baseball association season opened y ■*
terday afternoon with the Macon team
on the Atlanta diamond. Fully 2,5(J0
people faced the strong wind to see the
opening day and to look upon the ball
park. Had the weather been pleasant
it is believed that the new grounds
would not have held the people.
The game was one sided, and went
to Atlanta’s credit when the reckoning
had been completed. The Macon team
is composed of some f the best p’a.yers
the south has seen in quite awhile, but
they are now working at a great dis
advantage because they have not been
together any length of time. It won’t
take them lonsr to limber up, and then
a good game may be expected from the
Central (ity team. Following is the
score by innings. Atlanta, 18: Macon, 0.
Following were other games played
by Southern League teams:
At Nashville—Nashville, 8; Memphis,
8. Game called on account of darkness.
At Navannah—Charleston, 15; Savan
nah, 6.
At New Orleans —New Orleans, 7;

MARKET IN THE DOLDRUMS.
The Sun’s Review of the Cotton and Tex
tile Trade.
New York, April 12. —The Sun’s cot
ton review says: The market was still
in the doldrums on account of bearish
Liverpool and Manchester, and south
ern advices, long liquidation and re
newed selling for short account.
The semi-weekly interior receipts
were bearish and the receipts at the
ports were again suprisingly large.
The New Orleans estimate for today
was rather in the bull interest, but the
great trouble is the lack of speculation,
the falling off in the spot demand of
late both in this country and abroad
and fears of hostile legislation on the
tariff and the option trading system at
Washington. In the meantime it is a
market without strikingly interesting
features. On the decline the south
boußht to a moderate extent.
MILLS FOR nnx/enNinD j
Tennessee the President
JS A s ittil TT ,* e A r pr if * 12. —The populist
Conventiou to nominate a candidate
for governor of Tennessee assemb.ed
here yesterday. It was a full convention,
about 200 delegates from all parts of
the state being present. Captain R. F.
Kolb, the leader of the Alabama "Jef
fersonians,” was present, and ex-Gov
ernor Buchanan, who calls himself a
‘‘Jeffersonian” democrat, was also hob
nobbing with the delegates. This leads
to the belief that the populist conven
tion will inaugurate a populist-Jeff er
gon function, with free silver coinage
for its platform. A. J. Mills, president
of the state alliance, was nominated
for governor. Xo ticket put out for
supreme iudges.
GRANT S MURDER AVENGED. -
One of the Murderers to Hang. Three Oth
ers Go Up for Life.
Montgomery, Ala., April 12.—1n the

Joe, Alex and Wilson Woodley and J ack
Gabriel, four negroes charged with the
murder of Ed H. Grant, about one
month ago. ,
The first were sentenced to be hanged
and the last to life imprisonment
Grant was killed as the result of a con
spiracy between these negroes, who
made Jim Galloway do the murder.
Jim was sentenced to be hanged last
week. Oliver Jackson, a negro, who
offered to kill Grant for SlO, was mobbed
about ten days ago.

objection when it was announced tliat
the operators had already broken the

WILL BRECKINRIDGE WITHDRAW?
Some Politicians Think He Will, While
Others Do Not.
Lexington, Kv., April 12.—The be
lief that Colonel Breckinridge will
withdraw from the race for re-election
to congress when the jury in the fa
mous trial shall have rendered a ver
dict, is becoming more general. His
relations here, the YYartields, the Clays,
the Breckinridges ad, the Nileys, will
not welcome him to their homes.
A well-posted politician said last
night: ‘-Breckinridge will allow his
name to worry the people of the Ash
land district for many months yet—l
may say almost to the time for the se
lection of a nominee but he will never
return to the blue grass region.”
A friend of Colonel Breckinridge,
who has just returned from YV ashing
ton, says: ‘ Colonel Breckinridge is in
constant receipt of letters from all
parts of his district ofFe-ing encourage
ment and promises of s ipport. He is
looking as well as ever, and like a fel
low- from whose mind a load has been
taken, even at the tremendous price
which he is called upon to pay. It is a
i rel ef to him to be rid of that woman,
I who has bled him almost to death and
made life a misery to him. The prose
cution has degenerated into persecu
tion.”

many years -as lawyer, friend, neigh
bor, colleague, brother—“and,” said
he, “you may speed it on the light
nyigs, gentlemen, that the man to
whom Ben Butterworth was a iriend
in his prosperity does not turn his back
on him in nis adversity.”
The Innocent School Girl.
“It was a most remarkable thing,”
said Major Butterworth, resuming,
j “how innocent this little school girl
had been. They did not raise girls like
that on the Miami when he was a boy.
He offered notning in extenuation of
the defendant; his friend, Judge Wil
son, could not be more severe on him
than he had been on himself. But as
to the plaintiff, she. had said: ‘I was
only a simple country girl. Mr. Car
lisle,' and what could a simple country
girl know about men. If that be your
theory,” cried Major Butterworth, “I
denounce it as a vile slander on every
country girl in the world. A country
girl knows the difference between
right and wrong. My mother was a
country girl playing with your mother,
her neigh m r, my good friend (turning
to Judge Wilson) ,>n the banns of the
Miami. My sister was a country girl;
so was yours.”
They needed no one to tell them the
difference between right and wrong;
they needed no watchful duenna to
protect them from bad nun.
Major Butterworth picked Miss Pol
lard’s character to pieces, beginning
with the letters she wrote to Owen
Robinson, in lbbO. Even then, he said,
she knew about love and marriage, and
corresponded with young men, this in
nocent girl who says she never knew
a person, did not have a s.ngie friend,
not even a bowing acquaintance, “tnis
innocent little school girl.” He said
was born, and ail that. .
The Wess.e Br.iwn Letter.
Taking up after recess the VVessie
Brown letter, which he read, Major
Butterworth said that that writing
told of experience lj. love rather re
markable in an innocent little girl •. ho
knew nobody. 'This led Major Lutter
worth to inquire why it was that while
otuer giris iu America went without
chaperones Miss Pollard was never
trusted to walk alone with the boys.
Why was Uncie George, or Aunt Lou,
or Mrs. Kean always with her? Why
was it that this girl was so watched?
She had been engaged to Lodes; she
had been engaged to liosell, and she
confessed a love for AlecK Julian and
Prof, übermeyer. “Did she not have
experience?” he asked.
Taking up the letter dated July 20,
1884, inviting Colonel Breckinridge to
call on Miss Pollard at Wes.eyau col
lege, which the plaintiff pronounced a
forgery, Major Butterworta crit.cized
the counsel for the plaintiff for trying
to hold up tiie deiendant as a blackleg,
a perjurer and a forger, in the face of
all tne evidence that she wrote the let
ter. Shaking is list at Colonel Breck
inridge, and rushing at him with a weii
simulated ferocity of countenance an.i
manner, he almost shouted: "It seither
tne letterof Madeline Pollard or you're
guilty of forgery. Youve disgraced
your family, your traditions and your
boy, who sits by your side, or else that
woman lied.”
The First Me, ting.
With no attempt to disguise his
irony he pictured Miss Pollard as she
had "made herself appear at the meeting
with the defendant at Wesleyan col
lege a poor, fluttering little creature,
who tried and tried to tell this man of
her trouble with Kodes, and was laugh
ingly diverted and made to tell of her
self and to listen to flatteries. Major
jut-t rworth maintained that if .Miss
Pollard had been all she claimed and if
Colonel Breckinridge had made wrong
ful adva ces he would have been re
pulsed in a way that would have kept
him from further conduct of that sort.
"There is that about the virtuous
woman,” he cried, "which chills every
> erm of lascivious approach.” As for
the carriage ride that night, if she
were a virtuous woman at the first ap
proach of lasciviousness she would nave
crieu,” land Major Gutterworth made a
rusii at the white-haired defendant and
shook his fist in his face, shouting his
words in tones that could have been
head a block;, "‘take me back, you
leper,’ You wouldn’t have gone twen
ty feet with her,’ he shouted, address
ing the defendant, "I don't care any
thing about your blandishments. She
would have run away from you—goue
to her mother—to somebody—for pro
tection, and so wou and ev ry virtuous
woman repulse such lecherous ad
vances.”
THE GEORGIA CENTRAL PLAN.
Mr. R. T. Wilson t oik* of Its Contents and
Provision*.
NewYork, April 12. —R. T. Wilson
says: "The Georgia Central railroad
plan was formulated several months
ago. but lam not at liberty to discuss
its contents and provisions.
"I know, however.that no altercations
have been made since it was shown to
me. As for' the talk that an attempt
was being made by General Thomas,
and Thomas F. Ryan, to buy me out of
the Southwestern, that is absurd. Gen
eral Thomas has never made any over
tures to me. lam the president of the
company, and no price could buy me
out. I intend to retain all my inter
ests in the road. I have a ommnnica
tion from General Thomas, asking me
to confer with him. 1 presume it is
1 upon the p.an of reorganization.”

ing them to ship back their wards to
the west. The Union Pacific and Rio
Grande Western continue to announce
that the}’ will only move the army east

awa t developments, guarding and
feeding their vast corral of prisoners.

encouraged by a parade of about 1,000
workingmen in Salt Lake, who tele
