It is to be one of the handsomest resi

and the play was well produced. It was
a ludicrous farce throughout, and the
audience was frequently convulsed with
laughter.
The First National Bank received its

AN ORGANIZED STEAL.
A petition is being industriously cir
culated by the anti-prohibitionists to get
the Ordinary of this county, where lo
cal option exists, to order an election
on the prohibition question. The advo
cates of whisky are displaying a good
deal of enthusiasm in their undertaking.
In arguing their claims they say that as
much or more liquor is being drunk now
than if it were sold here, and that the
town ought to reap the benefit of a tax
on it. Some go so far as to say the
town cannot exist without it.
On the other hand, the prohibitionists
deny these statements, and remind them
of the fact that no town in Georgia
where liquor was sold has ever grown
ami prospered as Cordelo has without it,
Atlanta, April 20.—[Special.]—Tom
Delks is being held by the police, ac
cused of stealing and selling a church
organ. The instrument was missed from
the Rockwell Hoad church, near here,
two months ago, and was recovered from
a church at Duluth where it had been
sold for thirty dollars.
Delks has long been in hiding in the
suburbs, dressed in women’s clothes.
Last evening the oflicers located him,
and dragged him out from under a bed,
where, after stripping off the borrowed
apparol, he had taken refuge.
Home, April 10.—In the chamber of
deputies to-day, the Marquis Di Kudini,
the Italian premier and minister for for
eign affairs, replied to the question as to
what action that government would take
in view of the note of the American sec
retary of state, Mr. Blaine, addressed to
Marquis Impelialli.
Marquis I)i Kudini said that the Ital
ian government would decline to admit
the irresponsibility of the United States
toward single states composing the
Amciican Union.
“The question at issuo in the present
controversy was one which interested
every civilized government in the world
as well as it does that of Italy ’’
Contimiing, the premier said that the
Italian government had no fear of polit
ical difficulties, but it was filled with re
gret that so highly a civilized country
as the United States should fail in ful
fillment of its duties to the cause of jus
tice and morality. Cheers greeted the
conclusion of the premier’s explanation.

Washington, April 10.—The Balti
more Sun’s Washington correspondence
this morning says of yesterday’s contri
bution by Secretary Blaine to the litera
ture on the subject of the Italian inci
dent:
The last note of Mr. Blaine in the
Italian matter cannot give much satis
faction to Marquis Kudini, but it never
theless is based on impregnable ground,
and no amount of pouting or fretting can
alter the circumstances of the case nor
the obligations of this government.
“This note 0/ Mr. Blaine's repeats in
principle and precedent what has been
foreshadowed in the Sun from the very
first of the affair. There could bo no
other position for this government to
take.
“The Italian government must wait
for the due process of the law, and as
Mr. Blaine quite clearly intimates, the
law will scarcely bring any redress. Mr.
Blaine gave this last note earlier than he
had anticipated, for he had wished to in
clude many other points.
“If the Italian government is not con
tent to take a rest, he has plenty more
material to fire at It.”

Birmingham, April 21.—[Special.]
Mrs. Julia Martin made her statement
this morning, and created a profound
sensation.
She is on trial for the murder of her
brother-in-law, Ed Martin, and yester
day all the evidence was given in.
The court room was packed to-day to
hear the prisoner's statement, expecting
startling developments, and they were
not disappointed.
She said that the man killed had
hounded her with detectives, and when
she begged him to stop he grossly in
sulted her. She told of her marriage to
Clarence Martin, and her experience
with detective C. W. Ebrey at Eureka
Springs, Ala. How ho tried by every
means to secure her ruin and disgrace.
IIow lie tried to lay plans to make her
appear in a compromising position.
A profound sensation was created
when sho testified that the deceased,
Ed. Martin, was her seducer, and that
sho gave birth to a child of which lie
was the father.
Afterwards I10 gavo her tlio cold
shoulder, and she went to Texas. There
she met Clarence Martin, her seducer’s
brother, and after living with him two
years, married 1dm.
The statement brought out many
startling situations in strong language.

Mr. E. S. Goodman, of the S. ▲. & M.,
talks most encouragingly about the road
and the crops along it.
Yesterday’s Savannah News contains
the following which adds much to the
hopeful feelings of all:
“E. S. Goodman, general freight and
passenger agent of the Savannah, Ameri
cus and Montgomery railroad, was in the
city yesterday on his way to Now York
on business connected with the road.
He reports the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery as having done a fine busi
ness during the winter, and although the
dull season is about to begin, he does
not think the road’s tiaflio will be much
decreaseJ, as it passes through a fine
farming section, and will do a big traffic
in truck during the summer. The
recent freeze, Mr. Goodman said, had no
appreciable effect on tlio crops, and
everything along the line is in excellent
condition, particularly potatoes. The
melon crop, ho thinks, will be unusually
large this season, and the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery will handle a
big portion of it. When asked as to the
possibility of his road being built Into
Savannah, Mr. Goodman could give no
positive information, altliDugh he said
he thought it would bo done some time,
and lie hoped soon, as it would be a
great advantage.”

In order to occupy an attitude of loy

but the sub-treasury bill now pending
before congress was repudiated
In the discussion of the Ocala plat
form Lecturer McAllister explained that
the legislative committee recently ap
pointed by the National Alliance Coun
cil would probably frame a measure
based upon the Ocala platform, asking
the government to emit, not loan, money
to the extent of forty dollars per capita,
and upon this theory tlio platform was
indorsed.
A resolution committing the Alliance
to support only Alliance sub-treasury
candidates for the legislature who would
vote for the sub-treasury candidates for
tlio United States senate was voted down
almost unanimously.
Lecturer Burkitt said yesterday that
he had no denial to make to the charges
made against him by Assistant Lecturer
McAllister for drawing up and piloting
through the Ocala meeting the report
whitewashing Macuno for selling out in
the Georgia senatorial contest.
This is accepted as an admission by
Burkitt of the truth of the charges.

Rather Peculiar.
Palfiff Shock Cobb arrosted Raleigh
Jackson, colored, yesterday on a war
rant for obtaining money under false
pretenses. The warrant was sworn out
by Andrew Jackson, the negro’s father.
The trial took place, and it was shown,
that young Jackson, only about eighteen
years old, went to Matt Hart, a negro
storekeeper, and told him his father
sent him for some money. Hart let him
have it, and afterwards asked the old
man lor It.
This led to tho boy’s father having
him arrested on the above mentioned
charge.
The case was settled by tho old man
paying all cost provided his son gave
bond to work for him until of age.
Hart agreed to stand this bond of fifty
dollars, and everything was smoothed
over. It was a rather peculiar ending
to a trial.

Prices are booming.
Everything seems to be going up, and
although very high now, the price is still
climbing.
For instance corn has been selling for
some time at high prices, and people
have been grumbling at the figure paid.
In the past two days it has jumped up
several cents higher.
Hay, too, has climbed up in price.
Flour has advanced 25 cents per barrel.
Meat, also, is up.
These advances hold good all over the
country, and those who have been hold

much money.
Corn is scarcer than it has ever been
