Turner and Meyers.
Congressman Turner has made a plain
statement of the appointment of Mr.
Bennett as receiver of the Oglethorpe
National Bank. At the request of Con
troller Eckels Mr. Turner was asked to
name a-receiver for the bank. Without
any conference he suggested Mr. Bennett,
and was requested to ascertain if he, Mr.
Bennett, would accept the place. Mr.
Bennett replied favorably and afterwards
came to Washington to look into the
matter of duties and responsibilities.
This interview occurred early on Mon
day June 12. The appointment was
then formally ordered. 31 r. Turner says
that if. Mr. Meyers made any suggestion
•as after the appointment of Bennett.
If there is any ]>olitical significance in
the manner of the appointment he is
willing to take the responsibility of it.
He says the further abuse of Mr. Eckels
was a poor way to remedy any fault.

Han Away with the Girl.
Rathway, N. J., July 28.—Emory Will

whipped Susan Johnson on the street be
cause the young woman was talking to
Williamson, has eloped with Susan. She
was a servant in Mrs. Ransom’s board-
ingliouse on Main street. Williamson
and his wife lived on Commerce street.
Mrs. Williamson heard that her hus
band was in the habit of meeting the
Johnson girl, and hunted her up and
flogged her with a stout horsewhip.
Williamson left town on Saturday last,
and it has been discovered that Susan
rent away at the same time. Mrs.
Williamson says if her husband ever
returns she will cowhide him.
charged with the
s of crimes committed in
the u os revclting matter.
The stepmother, it was proved was
killed first. To have been killed by
Lizzie without leaving any trace, the
act must have been done by the young
girl in a perfectly neud state.
This was also true of her own father,
who, it was proven, was killed while
asleep on the sofa one hour after the
murder of his wife.
After a most remarkable and search
ing trial Lizzie Borden was acquitted.
The case was tried before learned
jurists, intelligent jurymen and law
yers of national reputation. The trial
lasted many days, every detail of which
is familiar to the public.

here. It is held that there was nothing

constitute a fraud, the regulations sta

Baltimore, July 28.—B. N. Baker,
president of the Atlantic Transporta

England, but owing to the distrust
which prevails in consequence of the
operation of the Sherman silver law is
difficult to get English capital inter

ker believes the repeal of the Sherman
law and the enactment of substantial
financial legislation will bring values
back to a steady basis.

city, caused*disastrous
Since Lizzie Borden’s acquittal she j Sau-'a'cMhe^tate'
has been quietly at her home attending
to the settling of her father’s estate,
which amounted to and over $100,000.
She has been the recipient of many
letters from crowds—both male and fe
male-including several offers of mar
riage. Her manner has been morose
and melancholy to an unusual degree.
This, however, was considered perfect
ly natural.
It is not known what statement she
has made and anything like definite in
formation is hard to get, but it is un
derstood that she has admitted that she
was the murderer of her father aud his
wife.
and around Pittsburg then,.and the
monthly pay roll amounted to $250,000.
The output of coal was at the rate of
275,000 carloads a year.
Now the (>.000 miners are out on a
strike, the shafts are idle, and starva
tion stares the miners' families in the
face, the business houses are threatened
by ruin, and despair has displaced hap
piness and contentment. Business in
Pittsburg and the surrounding hamlets
of Weir. Chicopee, Frontenae, Yale,
bcamtuon. Lichfield and Midway are at
a standstill. Many of the miners are j
leaving. Thousands are desperate.
The woful change was brought about
by politicians who engineered the strike,
it is said, for the tmrpose of advancing
llieir interests. These politicians are ,
Populists.
The two state senators and two rep-
j resentatives from the coal fields are
Populists. One of them, a member of
the lower house and a man who has
been indefatigable in his efforts to stir
up strife against the operators, is M. L.
Walters, who wants to be a congress
man from this district through the
grace of the miners, whose cause he is
now championing even at the head of a
mob. It did not take the Populist leg-
e long to discover that t no mining
laws of the state should be changed.
A bill was passed by the effort of Mr.
Walters, which was calculated to raise
the wages of the miners, and which,
when it goes into effect on Sept. 1. will
f ilace a good, experienced miner on a
evel with a novice. The law made
Mr. Walters popular among the miners
because it gives the diggers a substan
tial increase all round.
But. piled ou top of the increase
granted them by the Populist law, the
miners in this district demand what is
equivalent to a still further increase of

New York’s Death Chair Did Not Do Its
Work Well.
New York, July 28.—A dispatch
from Auburn, sent out immediately
after the attempt to electrocnte M. G.
Taylor was made, says:
The electrocution of M. G. Taylor,for
the murder of Solomon Johnson, in Au
burn prison, wa3 not a success. The
footrest of the chair broke and the dy
namos gave out. so that a second cur
rent could not be applied.
He was not dead from the first con
tact, and soon began breathing heavily.
He was placed ou a cot and conveyed
back to nis corridor, wheie he contin
ued breathing and groaning, with his
pulse growing stronger.
It is now thought power will have to
be obtained from the city electric plant
and Taylor will have to be replaced in
the chair and electrocuted to death.
The physicians say he was unconscious
after the first contact of over 1.70n
volts. His condition at present is anal-
agous to that of a uian stricken with
apoplexy. Morphine has just been ad
ministered. Witnesses are not

it will give them control of the capital
