New Yoiik, April 30.—Cablegram,
from Parts state that the excitement
over the labor day demonstration to
morrow grows enforce.
The laboring elasses already seem bel
ligerent. As a result the military and
police authorities have taken and are
taking most extreme precautions, and
are making every preparation possible
to effectually meet and promptly su-
press any disorder on the part of anar
chists or others. Several violent anar
chist manifestos intended to incite the
soldiers composing the garrison of Paris
and its neighborhood to revolt have re
cently been circulated by agents of the
anarchists. Several of these incendiary
documents are in the possession of the
police, who are now engaged in search
ing the residences of the anarchists
leaders. It is announced that from to
day until the Mayday excitement is over
no soldiers will be allowed to leave their
barracks except on guard duty, or to
bring in supplies of provisions, etc.
Even the officers are confined to their
barracks.
To each soldier of the garrison one
hundred rounds of ball cartridges has
been distributed. The military authori
ties have also arranged plans for com
municating with tho different military
posts, barracks and forts, and have com
pleted arrangements for the concentra
tion and distribution at points of van
tage of the troops available in caso of
disorder. Thus the entire rallitaayand
police forces of Paris are prepared
almost at a moment’s notice to issue
forth from their quarters and occupy
the streets and squares of Paris In such
manner that any anarchist movement
would be pretty sure to be nipped In the
bud, however well it may be planned.
The programme for Mayday is placard
ed throughout the city. Provincial
deputations will accompany the work
men In their procession to the chambers
in the afternoon to present their de
mands. The government is preparing
atrong measures to preserve order.
It Is officially announced that no labor
demonstrations will be allowed on the
streets of this city on Mayday.
The committee on laboe of tho Cham
ber of Deputies has approved a maxi
mum working day of ten honra for In
d us trial operatives.
Corbels, April 30.—[Special.]—The
Standard Oil Company baa decided to
make this a distributing point for their
oils, and are having erected a warehouse
near the electric light plant. This
wealthy company lias acted wisely in lo
cating a branch of their businesa here,
where so much oil is required about fac
tories, and where it will be so conven
lent to dispose of it along railroads lead
ing out in live directions from Cor-
dele.
For sometime past the Tide Water Oil
Company has had a branch of their coop
erage business here where they manu
facture hundreds of barrels every week.
T. L. Blackwell and A. C. McDonald
have purcliased the planing mill and va

tical business men and will push this
valuable enterprise for all it is worth.
Miss Annie Foster, of Eastman, the
yonng lady who lost her life yesterday
at Troy, Ala, by the falling in of the
roof of the opera house there, has sev
eral friends In Cordele who regret the
sad occurrence. Miss Annie was
smart and lovely girl.
Mr. W. W. Shipp, who has been off
rostlng from business in Florida for sev
eral days, returned yesterday looking

Moat of the Savannah excursionists
h%-e returned, and say they bad plenty
to eat and drink and a good time gener
ally while down there, but they do not
look any better than before they went
there.
Two Misses Sanford, of Macon, are
visiting their sister, Miss Bennie San
ford.
Miss Mattie Odom, who has been at

eating house of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, but the managers
say that It haa failed to pay. James

ly every miner In Iowa will drop hla

New York, April 80.—[Special.]—In
spector Byrnes believes he hss at last se
cured the perpetrator of the recent
"Jack the Ripper’’ murder, of which
Carrie Brown waa the unfortunate vic
tim, at the East River Hotel.
A crank criminal, a kind of human
monster familiarly known aa "Frenohy
No. I,” who Is in the habit of biting
women, sometime* very seveiely, and la
In consequence a terror to night birds of
the waterside, is the suspected mur
derer.
The police have found out thatn stran
ger who went to room 31 with the mur
dered woman, left the hotel before mid

after the stranger left the room, Frenohy
went across the hall and mnrdered the

IT MAY BE HAMMOND.
Ik Seems an Impossibility That Speer or
Call Will bo Elected.
Tallahassee, April SO.—ThealUanco
held a private caucus yesterday after
noon and strengthened the break from
Call.
This brought CSU’s vote down to 49.
As Long waa taken up with others,
Speer's vote fell to 88.
It is now clear that neither Call nor
Speer can be nominated and Hammond
■till remains the dark horse.
Owing to the night caucuses much
sickness prevails, and many of the mem
bers now vote by proxy, which prevents
the final break until a full caucus.
Congressman H. G. Turner, of Geor
gia is here and la duly honored by the
state officers and legislature.
The Suwonee contested election case
was not reached until near the hoar of
adjournment, and will probably occupy
several days, It being a bitter fight be
tween the Call and anti-Call factions.
