THE TERMINAL CASE.
Western Union Farced to
Telegrams of Defendant Company,
By Southern Associated Press.
Chattanooga, Tonn., .Vug. lit.—In
the ease of the Terminal Railway vs.
tli Cincinnati Southern Railway, heard
today In the Federal Court, the Western
Union Telegraph Company was forced,
by process of law to bring into court
the telegrams that passed between Re¬
ceiver I'elton, then at Mott',ion'h Beach
N. J., and Manager Carroll, both of the
dffendant company, and bc.iMiig directly
on tlie case in hand.
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
I.ouis Railroad, August ,’t. leased the
Terminal Railway Company, which is
valuable as affording access to many o!
this city’s largest manufacturing. The
lease not being effective till August
15, the Cincinnati Southern Railroad,
long before day Sunday morning, Au¬
gust 4. haring made full preparations
ahead, stole into the city and almost
before their ruse was detected hail
crossed the tracks of the Terminal with
switches, etc., replacing those of the
latter into the yards of the several man
ufactnring concerns. The Southern
holds, by purchase, the switch iine. the
belt railway, paralleling the others for
a large part of its course, giving the
latter right-of-way into the coveted fac¬
tories. Manager Dunn, advising with
diis fthe general manager by wire, obeyed
summons.
The telegrams produced fairly stam¬
peded the attorneys for the Cincinnati
Southern, who had not dreamed of such
a recourse being possible. The case,
which is being heard before United
States District Judge Clark, will be
decided tomorrow'.
The switch lines arc now under con¬
trol temporarily of the Nashville, Chat¬
tanooga and St. Louis. A railroad
fight of big proportions is not an im¬
probability between the Nashville, Chat¬
tanooga and St. Louis and the Louis¬
ville and Nashville on the one hand, and
the Queen and Crescent and Southern
Railway system on the otiier; both
have points of vantage the other is
jealous of.
BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
The Trunk Lines Have Established
a Hoard of Niue.
By Southern Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 16.—In tlie new
agreement of trunk lines and their
Western connection's the chief change
from present methods is tlie estab¬
lishment. of a hoard of governors, nine
in number, with absolute power to
make and maintain rates. Tlie com¬
mittee of three originally suggested by
Commissioners Goddard and Blanchard,
is accordingly enlarged upon. These
nine governors are to represent the
nine interests involved. There are 16
lines in tlie agreement, but in more
than one instance their interests are
identical and will be merged in one
^rnan on tlie hoard. As for example, the
York Central and West Shore
be represented by one governor, as
can tlie Big Four and tlie Chesapeake
and Ohio. Then a board of arbitration
is provided for. This body will hear ail
complaints and pass upon them, before
the lines themselves can take action of
a disturbing nature. Throe commission-
erw in all will lie elected for this board.
One of the greatest stumbling blocks
to a successful conclusion of tlie pres¬
ent work proved to be a question of
joint agencies. It had originally been
proposed to do away with all solicit¬
ing agents and to establish joint agen¬
cies. No such plan, however, could be
suggested, and the agreement, as it
now stands, does not provide for this
innovation. Wherever practicable, fast
freight lines will be abolished. Where
such action cannot he taken, such
freight and dispatch lines will he
brought absolutely under the control of
the board of governors in the matter of
rates.
The meetim of the presidents to
ratify tlie agreement will be held as
soon as possible after the return from
Europe of Ohauucey M. Dep.ew, pres¬
ident of tlie New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad, who is expect¬
ed here within a month.

OF IIIS STATEMENT.
NOT MANY MEN WHO WOULD RE¬
FUSE THE NOMINATION.
Cleveland's .Growing Popularity Is
Recognized by tbc Ex.Governor.
Saratoga, Aug. 13.—William C. Whit¬
ney's interview upon the presidential sit¬
uation, published in the World today,
excited a great deal of comment among
the prominent Democrats gathered here.
Most, if not all, of them are for Whit¬
ney. They like the man’s personality,-
they admire his ability, and they con¬
sider him New York's most available
candidate. Consequently they are loath
to believe that Mr. Whitney is really out
of tln> race.
Ex Governor Flower said: “1 am for
Whitney. I don’t think he is a candi¬
date now, but I am not at all sure that
lie would not he one if shown that it
was a party necessity. There arc not
many men who will refuse a presidenti il
nomination. The ex-Secretary tells waat
is absolutely true about the growing
sentiment in favor of Cleveland, or,
rather, of the administration. I have no
idea that Mr. Cleveland wants a third
term, but he is a very strong umn and
will ha ve a good deal to do with making
the candidate.
“You see,” said the ex-Governor,
“there is the big mass of Democrats
who are good Democrats; they will vote
for the party candidate, whoever lie may
lie. Some of them do not like Cleveland,
but they will always vote for him, if he
is the candidate. Then there is another
class, who are sometimes Democrats,
good people, blit bad Democrats. They
will all vote for Cleveland when they
might not for some other candidates.
“There is where Cleveland is strong,
and that strength is growing every day.
I predicted that this would lie tlie case
two years ago."
“What do you think of the Democratic
situation generally?”
“It is good, and getting better all tlie
time. Every mill and manufactory in
tlie country is making Democratic vot-
ers. Frosperity is returning to every
class. We have tlie best tariff measure
that we have had for thirty-five years,
manufacturing is increasing and wages
are being advanced. The coming Com
giess will not dare meddle with the
tariff, and the Republicans will not
dare to make it an issue in the next
campaign. A year ago, before trade
and manufacturers had got used to the
new tariff and were still timid and halt¬
ing, the proprietors of such manufactur¬
ing establishments as the woolen mills
at Amsterdan and the big carpet works
at Yonkers were howling against the
tariff and trying to make their work¬
men believe that it was the Democratic
party which wa s ruining the country.
Now they are running double time and
advancing the wages of their employes.
They are saying nothing and will say
nothing, unless it la to protest against
their own party’s interfering with the
tariff.*
“The Democrats will win the next
national election. The Republicans have
not an issue left with which to go be¬
fore the people, unless it is free silver.
That is being lost sight of now, with
the return of prosperity. When cotton
was brnging five cents, oil SO cents,
wheat 50 cents the profit of the pur¬
chasing power was so small as to serious¬
ly hamper the producers. They could
get a new dollar for an old one, and that
was about all. The workingman or the
farmer might buy a few groceries, hut
he didn’t buy clothes. Then, while he
was sick he turned to any panacea that
tlie publications might suggest. Now,
with oil at $1, millions of dollars will
tie distributed through the oil (fields of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
With cotton at seven and a half cents,
millions more will be thrown into the
cotton-producing States. There will he
money not only- for clothes and food,
but for improvements, new machinery,
better facilities, Instead of $5,000,000
worth of corn, we shall have more than
double that, and millions of dollars will
be sent through every part of the coun¬
try to the pockets of the corn-producers.
This will cure the sick man, and he
wants no panacea, He says we are get-
ting along pretty well as We are going
now.
“And the Democrats must be given
credit for Ibis. The beginning of the
panic started with the Sherman Silver
law, and was added to hy the fears
that the manufacturers laid of the new
tariff.
"The 1 >• mocrats repealed the Sherman
bill and passed an agreeable medium
tariff measure, that is already starting
the mills on double time.
“One of the strongest things that
President Cleveland did waj to carry
out that bond issue and restore confi¬
dence in our credit. The only criticism
I could make is that it did not go far
enough. I should have made the bond
issue much larger than it was.”
“How about your own candidacy for
the presidential nomination?” the cor¬
respondent asked.
The ex-Govirnor laughed heartily. “1
am a candidate for no office,” he said.
"1 want to jog along in the ranks as a
private citizen now. When a man is
in oiliee he is always in some one’s way.
He is always offending some one. He
is a target for newspapers and indi¬
viduals whom he fails to please, and is
criticised for about everything he does.
Now that I'm a private citizen, why, 1
can sit hack and do some of the criti¬
cising: myself if I want to.’’
“You are not out of polities?”
"Oh, no, no. 1 expect to go to the next
State convention us a delegate from
Jefferson county, If elected, and will try
and do what 1 can to help along llie fall
campaign.
“We r.re going to v, in in this State
this fall; nothing can slop us. Every¬
thing points to it, and for the same rea¬
sons that 1 have given for my belief n
the return of the Democratic party to
power next year in national affairs.
“The Uepiihlican tax vote is something
that will hurt that party terribly. Re¬
turning prosperity hasn't hit everybody
yet, but the lax collector lias. That and
the record of their legislation alone
would defeat the Republicans this fall. ’

IS IT RAILROAD 1IILL1
A Negro Killed in Georgia, Thought
To lie (be Alabama, Desperado.
By Southern Associated Press.
Montgomery, Ala., \ug. 10.—Tonight
the body of a negro, who is possibly*
Morris Sinter, alias Railroad Bill, tho
notorious desperado, murderer and
train robber of South Alabama, arrived
here from Chipley, Ga.
Yesterday, the negro was seen in thq
place by young Willis Garner, one of
tlie sheriff’s posse, who came upon him
in n deserted house. The darkey open¬
ed fire upon Garner with a pistol, shoot¬
ing him in llie abdomen, and after fall¬
ing (o the ground dangerously wounded,
the young man returned the fibre, one of
tlie bullets penetrating the negro’s
chest, coming out at the back of his
neck.
“Railroad Bill,” if it is lie, lived about
0 hours. When asked by the sheriff,
"Arc you Railroad Bill,” he replied: “1
may be and 1 may not.” This is all
the satisfaction that could be obtained
from the negro. It is said that llie
clothes lie wore answered the descrip¬
tion of Bill’s latest reported attire,
while in his pockets were several circu¬
lars announcing tlie reward offered $1,-
125, which is set upon the head of the
desperado. Six dollars and a ticket to
Pensacola, Fla., were also found in
his effects.
Arrived here, the body was scruti¬
nized by employes of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, who know him, and
they are in doubt as to the dead darkey
being Railroad Bill, though the height,
color and size of the man, and a scar
under his left eye, tally with Railroad
Bill's description. Mortification has
set in, and the features of the corpse
are puffed out of shape. •

News special from Atlanta says: Mag¬
gie Donahue, an inmate of a illnrepu*
table house on Decatur street kept by

victim last night of the murderous
jealousy of her lover, John Carroll.
Til' infatuated man emptied his gull

For months lie hail besought her to

husband. John Donahue, an honest

another man in the ease. Will Milton,
of whom Carroll was jealous.
Git mill went to the house, which is
one if the most squalid \places in the

By Southern Associated Press.
New Orleans, Da., Aug. 10.—Dele¬
gations from the several commercial
bodies met today at the Cotton Ex-
change, for the purpose of conferring
with Gov. Foster on the subject of
Louisiana's exhibit at the Atlanta Ex
imsif .n. A. A. Minis presided,
and Mr. Harrison Darker acted as sec¬
retary. Gov. Foster was asked by the
chairman to address the meeting, and
the Governor made quite a long talk.
He said an appropriation for an Atlanta
exhibit failed to pass tlie Legislature,
but. the State, through its representa¬
tives determined to have an official ex¬
hibit of the resources of Louisiana.
The display would, notwithstanding
the obstacles, lie exceedingly interest¬
ing and profitable to the Stale: all the
Southern States will he represented at
Atlanta, and without the State’s aid lie
hoped Louisiana would lie properly rep¬
resented, anil was confident the public
enterprise of tlie Stale would carry the
State over tlie difficulty created by tin-
lack of appropriation, A committee
was appointed to take the matter in
hand, and the Pelican State will be
suitably represented at the exposition.
The meeting then adjourned subject to
a call.

By Southern Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 16.—Among those who
arrived here today on the steamer Phila¬
delphia from Puerto Cabello, Garaguay
and La Guayara was Ur. Pulido, Sec¬
retary of Slate of Venezuela. Dr. Puelido
uenies absolutely that mere is any foun¬
dation for the recent reports to the ef¬
fect that Venezuela is on the brink of a
revolution.
“Our country,” he said, “was never
quieter than it Is at the present time.
The crops are in better condition than
they have been for a decade. Our people
are comparatively in the midst of great
prosperity, and know absolutely nothing
of the uprising about which we read from
time to time in New York newspapers. 1
would add” he said, “that all liberal mind¬
ed people In Venezuela are perfectly sat¬
isfied witli the administration of Gen.
Crespo.” *
lie verified the statement that the Ven¬
ezuelan government had recently made
concessions to an American syndicate and
hoped and expected ttiat llie United States
would assist and protect them. He also
said there would be no truth in the state¬
ment that a Venezuelan boat had fifed
upon a British boat a few days ago. Con
ttnulng, Dr. Puelido said:
‘Dr. ltajos Paul is, I believe, starting
a revolutionary movement In Ctfracoa
against the Venezuelan government, but
he is having poor success in getting re¬
cruits; he lias made no attempt as yet to
cross the line, and iri alt probability will
never do so,”
General Pulido said that Venezuela
would never give up an inch of territory
claimed by British Gulna. tt consists of
Valuable gold mines property, of which
the concessions to Americans have been
made.
Dr. Pulido comes here for tils health. He
lias teen ailing for a long time. In a few

TILLMAN AT
ASBURY PARK.
HE KYl’OliMlN HIS DISPENSARY
llOlllIY.
DIVIDING HONORS WITH MAYOR
STRONG.
Prohibit Ion Is ta Firing (location* nt
TUlmnu.
By Southern Associated Press.
Asbury Park, N. J., Aug. 11.—The
most enthusiastic audience that has
gathered in the Asbury Park audi¬
torium this year attended the national
service at 4 o’clock this afternoon.
The attraction was a double occasion,
the speakers being Mayor Strong, of
New Y'ork, and cx-Governor Tillman,
of Soutli Carolina, the author of the
famous State dispensary laws, now in
existence there. Rev. P. Dawson, who
has charge of the auditorium, pre¬
sided. When he introduced Mayor
Strong, the applause was deafening.
The latter said that he was engaged
in the work of trying to enforce the
plain law which has been on the
statute books for some time.
“We have had a corrupted police
force and a corrupted judiciary, but
have come to the conclusion that tlio
law must be enforced.”
This remark was applauded to tho
echo. Continuing, he said that those
who deal in liquor shall not sell on
Sunday. “We are having some diffi¬
culty to bo sure, and my friends have
said that I would Injure my political
party. I want to say that the muni¬
cipal government of New York knows
no political party. One year from to¬
day I expect to come to Asbury Park,
and I will tell you that the law is
being rigidly enforced, that you can’t
get a drink in New York on Sunday.
See if my prediction is not fulfilled.”
Tho applause that followed lasted a
minute.
Governor Tillman spoke on the sub¬
ject, "What to Do With Whiskey?”
In preface to Ills speech he said he
was a plain South Carolina farmer
and not much given to rhetoric and
oratory. Then turning to Mayor
Strong, he said: “You have a tdg con¬
tract on your hands—a dozen big con¬
tracts—if you came here and predict
that in a year from now there will be
whiskey sold In New York on Sun¬
day’s. X shall wish you to come and
shall pray for your success, but you
will scratch that old head of yours
many a time during the year, thinking
the problem over. I put in two years
bucking against tho rum sellers and
I had a monkey and parrot time of it.
I am frank to confess that I don’t be¬
lieve there is virtue enough in Mayor
Strong’s Sodom to stop Sunday liquor
selling."
Senator spent an ex
plaining the workings of his famous
liquor dispensary law. “The Democrats
of my State," he said, “and when 1
say Democrats I mean the white people
of South Carolina, declared for prohibi-
tion two years ago. I don’t believe in
prohibition, because it is impossible and
Impracticable, I cannot find any war¬
rant in the Bible for saying that man
shall not drink if lie wants to. I con
vinced my prohibition friends that they
were wrong and had enacted my dis
pensary law, which even tin* prolilbi
ttoulsts of my State declare collleS
nearest to solving the .liquor .problem
than any other moans enacted, The
liquor dealers, of course, fought tbc
law,.the Supremo Court of the United
States in reviewing it, knocked holes
through it that allows wHiiskoy to ooze
in from other States, 11 his supreme
body has done many things. You re¬
member the H to 7 of ’7('t decision and
the reversal of the Income tax. That
decision did not affect me, for I would
not have to pay any tax, hut that law
will he re-enacted before long. Nearly
every State in the Union, owing to tho
peculiar liquor laws, is in partnership
with the liquor dealers, but In South
Carolina we have dissolved partnership
with the rascals and have said to our
citizens, drink if you will, hut come and
drink State liquors, which is pure stuff,
and In so doing help reduce you taxes.
You can’t make a man virtuous hy leg¬
islative enactment. You have got to
educate them through their reasons.
We can’t have prohibition, lint we can
minimize the evils attendant upon the
liquor traffic by adopting a law similar
to the one in South Carolina, and other
States would do well to folios' our ex
ample. We are fighting the devil F
fire and whiskey with whiskey. The
aristocracy of my State fought tlie law
and formed a combination with the
liquor dealers and rabid prohibitionists.
The fight became so warm between the
Tiilmanltes and the nntiTillrn.mit.es
that the members of tlie two factions
could be designated by their drinking,
for every time an anti purchased liquor
from tile State he declared that 11. was
the vilest stuff he ever tasted, while
my adherents when they ‘smiled’ re¬
marked that tlie liquor was the purest
and best ever distilled.”
For nearly an Lour the prohibitionists
in the audience fired questions at the
senator. One question asked «ns if
the Maine liquor law did not prohibit.
“Perhaps it does,” returned Mr. Tel¬
man, “but 1 am inclined to believe
it does not, because in Maine there arc
hundreds of citizens who are paying
the Government for permission to (jell
liquor.”

Nmv York, Aug. 16. Speaking of the
si nan Ilona 1 reports Unit the bond syn
cliutte ia paying a Hinull premium for
gold burs, an authority alalia: "The
facta, which have la’cri known practi¬
cally to every bunker in the street, are
that ever since tile syndicate was lorm-
id managers have endeavored to secure,
for I ho treasury the bulk of tilt; output
of the gold mines of (bin country, but
th'-y hove ill no ease paid a direct pre¬
mium for bars. They have, aa is cum
ternary in I he bullion business, paid the
expenses of transferring gold from the
smelters to the Covernmenl assay offi¬
ces, in some rases, divided the expenses
with the sellers of the bullion, and In
olbers paying the usual brokerage to
bullion dealers for securing gold bars.
It Is believed that iri lids way the
syndicate ncc|iiired over $8,000,060
worth of gold imps at no greater cost
Hum the usual difference in value be¬
tween bullion and ertin, The greater
part irf these assignments have been
r ported by assay oKlieers and checks
given in payment for liars. These are
now being I timed Into the sub-treasury,
and as they are payable in gold coin and
the syndicate accepts legal tenders in
place of coin, the treasury’s gold bal¬
ance is increased by the amount of
checks.
