Wounds Inflicted by Sallie Lewis
I/Zi Reid and Sallie Lewis, two ne
gro women, became involved hi a dif
ficulty Saturday night about 'J o’clock,
when the former was stabbed twice.
The knife entered the woman's shoul
der the first time and the second
stroke sent tire blade deep into her
side under the left arm. The woman
was sent to her home and her wounds
were dressed by a physician, who did
not consider them necessarily fatal,
but late yesterday she was taken with
lock jaw and died last night at 8
o’clock.

jury this morning and held an inquest
over the dead woman. Lee Welden
was the only witness before the jury.
She said the fight occurred in “Chick
»n Row,” near the Presbyterian church,
a rd she saw Sallie as she stabbed Liza,
but did not know what the tight was
iboul. The wounded woman bad a
convulsion about one hour after sire
was wounded,but there were no recur
rence of tire spssms until late yester
day afternoon.
The jury returned tbs following ver
diet: “We the coroner’s jury, after
aeing duly sworn, find that Liza Reid

raused by two stabs, one under the
est arm and the other on left shoulder,

sallie Lewis, on June 17, 1899. We
relieve the same to be murder.

Luccbeni, who murdered the empress
of Austria and who is imprisoned for
life in Geneva, has apparently no reason
to be dissatisfied with his lot. His place
of confinement was closely inspected a
few days ago by a correspondent of the
British Medical Journal, and he found it
not only spacious, but comfortable, the
assassin’s so called cell is No. 94 and is
a large room, lighted by an ordinary
window, through which the sunshine
comes for several hours daily. The room
contains, among other things, an elec
tric bell and a supply of excellent books.
As for Luccheni himself, though some
"hat pale, he is quite healthy and happy-
He has the privilege of walking for one
kour daily in the courtyard of the prison,
and the only drawback is that he cannot
have any companion during this walk.
Besides the room already described he
has a comfortable bedroom with a win
dow which is rather small, but which has
® southeastern aspect. * 'There is noth
about this room or the other to re
mind one of a prison, for, though they
sre under the street level, they are nev
ertheless quite dry and airy. If the sto
ries of Luccheni's early life are true,
there was certainly many a year when
he did not fare as well as he is faring
now.

ARRAIGNED MAYOR WOODWARD'
Dr- Broughton Says the Mayor of At-!
lauta Should Be Impeached-
Dr. L. O Broughton, the well-known
Baptist minister of Atlanta, in hie
, sermon last night made a severe attack
. upon Mayor Woodward, of that city,
■ in which he said :
“The time has come when we must
■ ‘cry aloud’ against certain of our public
officials, and I want to speak to you of
the head official of our city govern
ment. It is known to most of you
, that I have always been ashamed of
our mayor. I have eaid this repeated
ly, and now I repeat it with increased
emphasis.
“I openly fought his election. I did
it on the double ground that ha was
the representative of the whisky ele
ment and of all the other elements of
high-handed corruption and vice I
opposed him because he was impure
and personally unfit for this high
office, the highest in the gift of the
people.
“Time has proven my position—that
I was a faithful diagnostician. Ido
feel that the time has come when
some one must speak of these things,
and although it is distasteful, I look
upon it as a duty that some one 'cry
aloud’ against this shame.
“Yes, I am ashamed of our mayor.
Our mayor is a libertine. Our mayor
is a sot. These facts are all known to
the council, and need not have me to
declare them.
“The time has come for council to
act. There is not a single decent man
in the city, in my judgment, who does
not repudiate our mayor and desire
bis impeachment.
“I submit that our community has
suffered long enough at the hands of
such an official. Our integrity and
our honor is too much at stake. We
have already lost caste. How long,
oh, how long must we suffer before
some member of council is patriotic
enough to act and rid us of this stigma,
and lift from us this awful cloud?
“These are bold charges, but they j
I are true Let the man dare to open
iris lips in denial, and I will next Sun
day night prove them where I now!
stand, upon this platform.
"Fully one-third of his lime since
he tfegan bis administration has been I
spent under the influence of whisky.]
I These charges can be readly establish- |
led. They are known ail over the conn
] try. Men have spoken of the conduct'
of our mayor while I was on the train, ]
j and they have said that it was a shame j
that this community had to put up I
with such a mau, and all that 1 could |
| say in defense of our city was ‘amen.’ j
“Ask the members of the committee
who vo t with him to Washington if I
he was not beastly drunk on that trip,
I and if it was not known? Ask them
I if there was not a worse and more dis
graceful occurrence on that trip of]
which I cannot make mention from]
my pulpit.
“This stigma to our community is
known all over the city and is talked
about all over the country. Our may
or baa been lor a whole wesk—a whole
week, on a drunken spree. The police,
the detectives and the city council
know these things, but nothing has
been done. Let the council take hold
I of this matter.
“We must have relief; else our city
will be brought to greaier disgrace.
What man in the council will have
the good name of the city enough at I
heart to call for the impeachment of]
so unworthy an official? I believe it I
will be done. There are good men in -
that bully and with many of them Ii
have talked, and they stand ready to
apply the ax l» the root of the tree.
“Personal y I am not anxious for the |
task, but if no one else will do it, I
stand ready to go before this body as ;
an humble citizen, armed with the be
lief that I am in the right and that I ]
have the decent people of the commu* |
nity with me, and demand hie im- ]
peachment and removal from this;
high office. ’’

GOLD FROM KLONDIKE
1 Miners Say the Season’s Yield Will
be S2O 000,000
Seattle, Wash, June 19—The
steamers Farralon and Alki from
Skagway bring news from the Klon
dike to May 25, and also the first con
signment of gold dust for the season,
amounting to $50,000. The first steam
er through by the chain of lakes arriv
ed at Dawson on May 23 with a con
signment of fruit, which was gathered
in by the hungry crowds.
The lower Yukon isopen to Behring
Sea, and the river steamers are experi
encing no trouble in getting through.
The clean-up on all the creeks is in
active operation, with plenty of water .
and an abundance of gravel, assuring
big returns. The Eldorado and Bo
nanza are turning out better than last
season. A hundred miners are busy
from the mouth to the source of those
streams
Dominion and Indian creeks have
big dumps and Hunker is making a
wonderful record. On Dominion the
largest nuggets have been taken out,
some exceeding $l5O in value. The
Canadian officials began collecting
royalties from the miners on May 1,
letting none escape.
Miners returning on the Alki report
good luck and say that every boat
coming byway of the lakes and St.
Michael will bring out gold. None
estimate the output at less than $20,-
000,000 for this season.
Col. Steel of the Northwest mounted ]
police has discovered evidence of an
organized band of highwaymen who
intend to attack gold trains bound ;
from the creeks to Dawson and escape !
with the treasure to pie American side. ;
He has been unable to locate the band ]
who are biding in the bills. To defeat t
them be has detailed soldiers to go to ■
the heads of the various creeks and i
furnish an armed guard to all miners !
desiring to bring out treasure. ]

Cuba and Statehood- <
The Cubans are discussing the sub- ’
ject of annexation. In the past, terri* i
i lories have always esteemed it a great ’
] honor to be admitted to statehood.
They worked for admission, and | <
generally had to work and plead for!
years before they were given the great ] i
privilege of becoming one of the Unit- ]
ed States of America. Should we be <
| any more liberal to Cuba, an outsider, '
I than we have been to our own territo- ,
; ues in the past? We think not. If 1
Cuba wishes to be annexed to the Uni i
ted Slates and ad milled to -tatt hood,!
all the advances should come from ,
that country, and we should not let i
her into the union until we become ] ‘
fully satisfied that she is worthy to be-! ,
come a sister state. No patriotic Amer- j
icau should be willing for this country ]
to make advances with a view to per
suading Cuba to con* l nt to ann< i<-
tion. Such a course would bi- contrary
to American dignity and pride, as well
as a reflection on American palri diem.
Cuba i-hould i -teem it a blessed
privilege to be annexed to this < un
] try, and if she hopts to have this
I brought about, her people should set I

Reflections of a Bachelor
A woman likes to have a man the
way she likes to have him without any
reason for it.
Not one woman in a thousand ever
did anything but scare a man to death
in her bathing suit.
It wasn’t that Eve ate the apple, but
that she put on clothes that made
Adam begin to wonder about a lot of
things.
No mariied woman ever feels that a
man’s friendly relatione with another
married woman can be quite as inno k
cent and harmless as they arc with
her.
When a woman wants to find out
what you think about a man, she asks
you about all his friends, and thinks
you are a fool if all your answers are!
not abaut him.—New Y ork Press.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syiiup of Figs, manufactured by the
Cai.ifoknia Fig Syrup Co.', illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectual!} - ,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of theCoropany
printed on the front of every package.
