THE GOVERNOR
IS BETTER.
A CHANGE CAME AS THE NIGHT
CLOSED IN.
“I’M GOING TO MAKE THE BEST
FIGHT I CAN.”
There Is a Gleam of Hope of His
Final Recovery.
Atlanta. Ga., June 19.—(Special.)—
Governor Atkinson hovered between
life and death nil day. 'Since midnight
last night the crisis was on and the phy¬
sicians were almost without hope. Early
this morning, however, the Governor,
who bad slept some time himself, ex¬
pressed the opinion that he was bet¬
ter.
“I feel a little stronger,” he Raid to his
devoted wife, who is constantly with
him, despite her own delicate health.
This slight improvement was only tem¬
porary. however. As soon as the physi¬
cians left, the Governor began losing
strength. He bore up bravely, how¬
ever, but now and then was forced to
complain of the awful tiredness that ex¬
hausted him. His bowels were swell¬
ing and the symptoms of peritonitis be¬
came more marked. He' retained his
medicine and this was some encourage¬
ment, but the physicians soon realized
that the medicines though retained on
the stomache were not assimnlated and
practically ineffective.
AVhen questioned by the family, the
physicians shook their heads and gave
but the merest encouragement.
At 8:30 o’clock this morning the physi¬
cians made a dose examination and
after consultation issued the following:
9 a. m.—Since the last consultation at
midnight the Governor has rested fair¬
ly well, but this morning is considerably
exhausted. He is today retaining his
medicine and some nourishment. Tem.,
99:45; pulse, 120; respiration, 36; his
condition is still serious.
The announcement of the bulletin was
taken as the beginning of the end, al¬
though the watchers still had hope.
After this consultation the physicians
were, one or more of them, constantly in
the sick chamber- Dr. Willis West¬
moreland, who had alb along e xpressed
most confidence, began to weaken after
the morning examination.
Growing; Worse.
A second consultation was set for 1
o’clock, but at about 11 Dr. Holmes
recognized a decided change for the
worse and the doctors were hastily call¬
ed together* The Governor's position
was changed so he rested a little easier
for a while and constant applications of
ice water were made to his lips.
He remained conscious all the while
and spoke to those about him as his eb¬
bing strength would permit, About
noon when his brother Tom came in, his
answer was:
“I am just as sick as I can live,
Tom.”
Dr. Holmes told the Governor during
the morning that his condition was most
critical and he made a heroic struggle
against the grip of the great destroyer.
At 12-.30 o’clock the physicians closed
their second consultation by issuing the
following bulletin:
12:30 p. m.—Since this morning's con¬
sultation the condition of the Governor
has materially changed for the worse
and he is now already sinking. Unless
some unforseen change in his condition
occurs, his death seems inevitable.
From this time on, although frequent
statements were made by the physicians
that conditions appeared unchanged, he
seemed to grow weaker steadily, The
doctors themselves answered that they
had given up hope, and the end was
only a matter of hours. Several friends
of the Governor were ndmitted to the
sick room during the afternoon. He
recognized all of them and spoke to
them when he could.
From 3 o’clock one. although con¬
scious. the patient's life hung upon a
thread so delicate that at times it seem¬
ed to have severed.
This morning when this turn for the
worse became apparent, telegrams were
sent for Mrs. Atkinson, the Governor's
other, who has been in Virginia some
She cannot, however, reach here
tomorrow morning. The father
of Mrs. Atkinson was telegraphed for
ami will arrive tomorrow, All other
members of the family have been here
since Monday, awaiting in tearful and
sad faced suspense, the ending of the
awful struggle with death.
The Executive Mansion has been
thronged with callers all day and tele-
grams of inquiry and sympathy came in
by the score, Marcus Beck, attorney
general, and many prominent men from
various points of the State were here
and tendered their sympathy in person.
The all absorbing query upon ail lips
today has been for news from the sick
chamber. Coming, as it did so close
upon the heels of the other great trouble.
the Governor has recently had the ill-
ness of his wife, his own striking down
aroused the deep and abiding sympathy
of the whole city as well as the State
at large.
Some Improvement.
Between (! and 7 o’clock some Im¬
provement was shown In the Governor's

turned toward Attorney General Terrell,
who was sitting near. Seeing he was
ubout to speak the attorney general mo¬

and husband his strength. He

“Joe,” he said, in a distinct tone, “1 m

to go and tell the boys I’m putting up

“The Governor has lost since
4:30 this afternoon. He is resting quiet-

While the hope is a faint one, yet the
doctors now see ft single gleam, where

no hope at all. If the Governor pulls

PURVIS SENTENCED.
The Rope Broke Dnrlng the Last
Attempt.
New Orleans, June 19.—A special to The
Dally States from Columbia, Marion
County, Miss, says: Will Purvis, who
failed of execution in the most sensa¬
tional manner in February, 1894, was
brought into court today for a resentence.
It will be remembered that Purvis, who
is a whitecapper, was convicted of mur¬
der and sentenced to be hanged. He was
placed on the scaffold and the drop ac¬
tually sprung, but the rope broke and
the sheiriff losing his nerve, yielded to
the entreaties of tlhe crowd not to re¬
hang Purvis. He conveyed the condemn¬
ed man back to Jail where he has re¬
mained ever since. Today his attorney
made a motion for an arrest of Judgment
on the ground that the day and term of
court having passed away, he should have
been resentenced, nhat now the court had
no further jurisdiction in the premises.
The motion was promptly overruled by
Judge Terrill and Purvis commanded to
stand up to receive the sentence of the
court which was that he should be
hanged on Wednesday, the 31st day of
July next. Purvis seemed perfectly cool
and collected and heaved a sigh of relief
When the sentence was concluded. His
attorney will appeal the case to the
Supreme Court, which will doubtless pass
on it some time In the early fall. The
only thing that will stand between him
and a felon’s death is tlhe Governor.
Strong efforts will be made to secure a
commutation of the death sentence to
life imprisonment.
STEAMER ON FIRE.
She May Have to Go to the Dot-
tom.
W«ird Quarantine, tt. I., June 19.—Tho
line steamer Yutnuria arrived
from Mexico and Havana this evening
with a raging fire in her forehold. Last
night tit 10 o’clock several of the crew
detected a strong smell of smoke which
was soon noticeable throughout the for¬
ward part of the steamer. The alarm
was given and all of tbe crew were call¬
ed to quarters. Investigation showed
the fire to lie raging in the forehold.
Steam tvas turned into the compart¬
ments of the hold from which the smolte
emerged and in a short time ils head¬
way was checked. The steamer was
forced ahead at as great speed as pos¬
sible. There was but little excitement
among the passengers and crew when
they arrived at quarantine and it w r as
stated that no excitement existed at
any time since the fire broke out. The
police boat Patriot and the fire boat
Newt Y’orker appeared off the boarding
station and accompanied the burning
vessel to her dock. General Agent
Walsh said that the steamer would be
docked at the foot of Wall street and
the hatches opened. Every endeavor will
be made to extinguish the fire. Should
they fail the cocks would bo opened
and the Yumaria be permitted to sink
to the bottom. The hold where the fire
exists contains hemp, pineapples, coffee
and other cargo.
Lynching: Probable.
By Southern Associated Press.
Montgomery, Ala., June 19.—A spe¬
cial to The Advertiser from Centre,
Ala., says: Horace Tierce, a noted
tough citizen of this section, who has
just been released from the chain-
gang, while drunk went to the resi¬
dence of James Powers, a prominent
citizen of Rock Run, and became very
noisy. Powers tried to eject him,
when Tierce drew a pistol and shot
Powers in the breast, killing him In¬
stantly. Tierce was arrested and
placed in the Centre jail. Great ex¬
citement prevails, and lynching is
strongly talked of.

Augusta and Savannah Railroad In Sa¬
vannah yesterday, The Chronicle was ad¬
vised by wire last night, it was decided
to accept the terms offered to the com¬
pany in the Central’s plan of reorgani¬
zation. This is a five per cent, lease.
It lias been evident for some days
that the scheme would be a success.
Confidence has been growing and as a
result there is a good demand for all
Central Railroad stoek at a considerable
advance over recent figures and there
are prospects of a further rise. All the
underlying bonds of the system are
also in good demand at advancing prices.

has not yet been forwarded as lie Is
awaiting additional information which
probably cannot be obtained until the

As regards the proposed meeting of
the board of directors of the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railway in Bal¬
timore yesterday, he said that it failed
for want of a quorum but that he had
an informal talk with the members of
the hoard who were present and made
suggestions as to some representation
upon the hoard of the large interest lu
the securities represented by him,
which were fully concurred in by all
present. These suggestions wlere that
Macon be given three additional mem¬
bers in the board, the three present
members to continue and three promi¬
nent, established business men of At¬
lanta be placed in the directory and
that he and Col. Andrews be chosen to
represent the Southern Railway Inter¬
ests. The Southern Railway thus sug¬
gests such changes in a l»oard of fifteen
members, four of whom shall be promi¬
nent business men of Georgia and two
representatives of the Southern Railway
and Macon to have a total representa¬
tion of six members.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
Captain . Carter . Report, _ on the ..
Savannah River.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washlngton, D. C., June 18.-Capt.
Carter, of the engineer corps In
charge of the improvements of the
Savannah river, reports to the War
Department that in the execution of
the project for the attainment of a
depth of twenty-six feet to the ocean,
at mean high tide, a depth of twenty-
four feet is now attained.
The gold reserve is now within $300,-
000 of the $100,000,000 mark. This result
has been attained by the agreement
with I ho Morgan-Belmont syndicate,
by which the Treasury has already
received $58,000,000 in gold, leaving $7,-
000,000 still due from the syndicate,
By the terms of their agreement, it
will be remembered, they were to pre-
vent the export of gold, and since the
date of their contract, Feb. 8, very
little gold has been exported, and the
redemptions, while still larger than
normal, have not reached, in the pe-
Hod Since Feb. 8, quite $7,500,000. At
fhp cefvlng nrosonf timp thp Trr'tisurv re -
considerable gold from the
mints sent thebe for coinage, and the
checks in payment, while payable in
gold, are usually paid in silver notes,
the holders not usually desiring gold
notes or legal tenders for them. The
last date on which the gold reserve
was intact was Dec. 14, 1894.
The last Congress appropriated $238,-
000 to pay accrued sugar bounties and
$5,000,000 to pay bounties on sugar pro-
duced between Aug. 28, 1894, and June
30. 1895, and regulations and forms for
the filing of claims for both classes
of bounties were approved today at
lie Treasury Department by Becre-
printed form f by v the th collector n . ? of inter- t
nal revenue of the several districts
on and after July 1, next. All the ac-
erued, sugar bounty claims will be
paid in full, but It is not believed
that the $5,000,000 appropriated for the
payment of bounties on sugars pro-
duced between Aug. 28. 1894, and June
30, 1895, will be sufficient to pay the
bounties of this claim in full. If this
should be the case the claims will be
pro rated, and instead of receiving 8-10
of a cent a pound for the sugar pro-
dueed as contemplated by the act of
Congress, producers will receive only
7-10 of a cent a pound, or 6-10, as the
case may be.

A LETTER FROM A CUIIAN SVMPA-
THIZF-R.
The Secretary of State Answers Him
at 1-euKlttl..
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., June 19.—Secre¬
tary Olney has practically defined the
position that American citizens should
assume toward the Cuban insurrection,
in a h-tter to Cuban sympathizer, the
cashier of a bank, who wrote Mr. Olney
for advice with regard to receiving con¬
tributions to the insurgents cause on de¬
posit at the institution with which he is
connected. The bank cashier wrote as
follow:
Hon. Richard Olney, Secretary of State.
I have been approached by alleged
agenis «f the Cuban insurgents with the
vietv o! securing the bank’s consent to
act as iepository for contributions from
sympathizers in the United States, but
have withheld consent until such time
as I could hear from your department
as to whether we would, by so doing,
lay ourselves liable to prosecution under
the neutrality laws. This we desire tto
avoid, not only technically but morally
as well for we are too loyal to our coun¬
try to seek to overturn, in any sense,
her law. I, myself, am in entire sym¬
pathy with the cause of the Cuban In-
depenlence and I attribute the singling
out o! this bn.nk to that fact, being
Rnowi to a few' who are identified with
the ctuse in that country. It is need¬
less t« say that from a business stand¬
point it would result in great advantage
to this bank, and I liope you will see
your way clear to allowing us to publish
acceptance to the trust to the world.
JOHN I*. MASSEY, Cashier.

sympathizers in the United States, in

tion, is a question as to which opinions
may differ, and which can he satisfac-
toriiiy settled only iby the adjudication
of 1he proper court. Should a bank en¬
gage in such a transaction, and, as you
suggest, publish its acceptance of such a
trust to the world, it would be my duty
to call upon the Department of Justice
to test the question whether or not the

by your bank or its officers is likely to
promote the solution of the interesting
legal questions your letter presents.
You ask me not merely as io your
technical legal ability but also as to your
moral obligations, adding, ‘‘for we are
a n too loyal to our own country to seek
to overthrow, in any case, her laws.” I
