THE LYNCHING AT VALDOSTA.
The Confession of the Negro Fiend Called
Forth tin' Most Intense Excitement.
Valdosta, (la., September 20.—There
was great excitement here from the
moment the fiend Goosby entered the
town, hut it was suppressed. The
lynching probably would not have oc
curred except for the fact that yester
day Goosby confessed and gave in de
tail the story of the horrible crime.
The knife with which the little girl's
throat was cut was the property of her
father. The confession caused great
excitement which cooler citizens tried
to counteract. It seems, however, that
a few of the more impetuous remained
on the streets. At midnight the train
from Thomasville came in. It brought
Effort to Compel a Prelirainary Inspection
of a .Sugar Cane Industry.
Washington, September 20.—The
Miles Planting and Manufacturing
company, a corporation of the state of
Louisiana, organized for the purpose of
planting and growing sugar cane and
manufacturing sugar, yesterday after
noon filed in the supreme court of the
district of Columbia a petition for a
writ of mandamus directed against
Senator Carlisle and Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Miller, to compel
those two officials to make a prelimi
nary inspection of their works. The
says that the company was
induced to go into the sugar business
by the bounty act of October 1, 1890.
The commissioner of internal reve
nue issued five licenses to them July 2,
1804, for their manufactories which are
situated at Amite, Homer, Monroe, St.
.Tames and New Hope, and they were
required to give bonds for §250,000.
There is a rule of the treasury depart
ment which requires preliminary in-
>rrow that i speetion of a manufactory of sugar,
and the petition states that the present
is the time for such inspection of the
company’s works, but both Commis
sioner Miller and Secretary Carlisle
have refused to comply with this rule.
They claim that this is illegal and will
damage them to the extent of §50,000.
They say there is no substance to the
pretext that the new tariff law which
went into effect August 2Sth last, re
peals and annuls the old law, and that
the failure of the government to in
spect their works practically amounts
to the destruction and confiscation of
their property. A rule to show cause
was issued by the court returnable on
October 4th.

New York, September 20.—Next to
being a bonanza king comes the Tam
many hall contractors. Commissioner
of Public AYorks Daly yesterday award
ed about §340,000 worth of street paving
contracts. In view of the fact that the
fall elections are not far distant, the
sum will be a political benediction and
a blessing among the fortunate Tamma

tors James Pollock. William F. Biard,
John G Smith and II. II. McCullagh.
Pollock managed to secure the largest
contract, being awarded the job of pav

on twenty-one streets. This will give
him §200,000 of the whole amount.

New York, September 20.—Mayor
Gilroy took Ins seat in the Tammany
executive committee yesterday as a
member. The meeting of the coinmit-
the was called suddenly and for the
evident purpose of giving the mayor a
place upon it. His presence in the com
mittee without holding a membership
was arousing the ire of some of the
Tammany men.
Politicians regard the matter as a
clever piece of political work. The per

the executive committee will he silenc

New York, September 20.—Eloquent
John Swinton, of the editorial staff of
the New York Sun, who was reported
to have been taken suddenly ill while
speaking at the meeting of the Kossuth
monument association, in Arlington
hall, St. Mark's Place, yesterday, when
seen at his residence said: 'Tam in
the best of health. 1 did not speak
yesterday, though it was my intention,
but 1 was prevented from doing so hy
an accident which required my presence
elsewhere. I was not ill, nor was I
taken home in a carriage.”
Two Thousand Women Voted.
New Haven. Conn., September 20.—
The annual school election was held in
this city yesterday, and unusual inter
est was taken, particularly by an A. P.
A. element, which polled a very large
vote. They brought their strength
against AA'alter J. Conner, a Roman
Catholic, who was, however, elected.
It was the first time that women took
advantage of the new law and two
thousand of them voted.
Commercial Relations With Spain.
London, September 20.—Madrid ad

The Spanish misister at AVasliington,
Senor Muruaga, has been instructed by
his government that the leading prin
ciple of the new arrangement must be

“A number of officers who were engag
ed in the naval battle on the Nalu river
have arrived at Port Arthur with half
a dozen warships, badly damaged and
filled with wounded men.”

New Policy in Treasury Appointments—The
Females Must Go.
AVashixgtox, September 20.—The
large number of women clerks dismiss
ed outright in the treasury department
during the past few days has attracted
considerable attention here. It is said
to mark a new policy in treasury ap
pointments in the future. Of the clerks
so far discharged fully five-sixths have
been women clerks of the high-salaried
grades. The vacancies created by the
discharge of the women will be filled
by the appointment or promotion of
men to their places. The Hood tide of
women clerks in the treasury depart
ment has been reached and henceforth
it is said, men will usually be appoint
ed to the higher places.
HAD NO OPPOSITION TO MEET.
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen Ke-
Elect Grand Master Workmen Sargent.
Harrisburg, l’a., September 20.—The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
re-elected Grand Master Frank P. Sar
gent by acclamation yesterday morn
ing. He had no opposition. Three
vice-grand masters were also elected.
They arc : John J. Hannalian, of En
glewood, Illinois: Charles A. AA'llson,
of Phillipsburg, N. J., and Charles AV.
Maier, of Parsons', Kansas. The most
important change, in the constitution is j
that which changes the insurance fea- !
ture of the beneficiary department. It '
requires every member to go into the 1
§500 class and he may subsequently, by
paying his pro rata share, enter the
two other classes, §1,000 and §1,500.

AA 7 A suing ton, September 20.—Orders

the Detroit at Norfolk so that she may
sail for China in compliance with Sec
retary Herbert’s directions as soon as
possible. She has gone into the dry

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER DEMANDED.
The McKinley Administration in the State
Affairs Denounced— Usual Demo

land Commended.
Columbus, O., September 20.—The
democrats of Ohio, in state convention
assembled, reversed the pronunciamen-
tos of all previous state as well as na
tional gatherings, of the party, in de
claring unequivocally in favor of the
free coinage of silver; and by a vote al
most as large, endorsement was given
through the medium of an indirect re
solution to the attitude taken by Sena
tor Calvin S. Brice in the recent tariff
reform contest. The debate on those
two issues occupied nearly four hours
of the continuous session. Iu twelve
minutes more, the entire ticket had
been nominated and the convention had
ajourned sine die.
On the senatorial issue a motion to
simply declare in favor of the election
of United States senators by a direct
vote of the people was carried by 407 to
328—the Brice opposition polling sixty-
five votes more than the one-third of
the convention conceded to it Tuesday
The following are the nominations:
Secretary of state, Milton Turner, of
Guernsey; supreme judge, James D.
Ermstone, of Hamilton; state school
commissioner, James A. Leech, of
Franklin; member hoard of public
works, Henry, B. Keffer, of Tuscarora.
The platform was of the usual demo
cratic persuasion in the tariff reference.
The McKinley administration in Ohio
was denounced. President Cleveland’s
administration was endorsed as “ef
ficient, honest and economical.”

POPULISTS CLAIM FRAUD.
Serious Charges Made Against the Demo

Augusta, Ga., September 20.—The
populists held a mass meeting at the
courthouse last night to protest against
alleged fraudulent registration of
voters, and demanded an investigation
of the same. J. L. Cart-ledge presided
over the meeting and he charged that
the democrats had heelers at the tax
collector’s office, registering negro hoys
under twentv-oue years of age, each
from four to seventeen times, and that
negroes could not be located at places
they gave as their residences. A com
mittee was appointed to wait upon So
licitor Cohen, of the county court, to
demand an investigation and to insist
upon a stoppage of tlie frauds that they
say ure being daily perpetrated.

his lately decapitated supervising archi
tect, Mr. O’Rourke are able to state
evon relatively what proportion tlie

was not sunk, though she is badly dam
aged, at the same time it seems certain
that the Ghen-Yuen and the other
Chinese ships mentioned were sent to

HOME Or THE CUCKOO CLOCK.
Tlie Little Town of Yiilingen* jjocated in
t!m Black Forest of (icrmauy.
Villingen is one of the centers for
the Black Forest clock industry. The
mvking of clocks in the Sehwarzwald
dates from a very old time, and the in
dustry has here attained some forms
which are to be found nowhere else,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph. It
is, perhaps, the most distinctive of all
the skilled trades of these clever peo
ple. The inhabitants of the hills, from
the earliest time, in distinction from
the residents of the valleys, who pre
ferred to farm, have shown a love for
woodwork, and centuries ago trained
their hands to cut out various clever
untensils. Their skill in this line took
the form of clockmaking about 1GS0 or
’90. There were very rudimentary
ideas afloat concerning what constitu
ted a clock in those days. At first a
weight was used hung from a string.
Later the pendulum was introduced.
Then came the striking one-day clocks.
Again, a little later, the eight-day
clocks. By their own discoveries and
by the tidoption of the inventions of
foreigners these people have thus
steadily kept themselves in the front
rank among the clock manufacturers
of the world. This section particularly
excels in making automatic clocks, and
clocks combined with musical boxes
and other novelties. The principal
thing in this line, however, is the
cuckoo clock (in German kukuk). The
first cuckoo clock was put together
about one hundred and fifty years ago
by an inventive old Seliwarzwalder,and
the popularity of his clever mechanical
devic-e continues without abatement.
The cuckoo is put up in every kind
of a clock case and with every kind of
good, bad and indifferent time-keeping
machinery. He may be had. works and
all, for one dollar, and so on up, ac
cording to the quality of his song and
other characteristics. His special pe
culiarity, of course, is his regularity,
and this is what got him into trouble
in the United States. He has a small
cage up at the top of the clock.and when
ever the time comes for him to go
through his exhibition his door flies
open, he steps out iri front, bows and
flaps his wings and sings his little song,
lie has been criticised for his limited
repertory. Nature did this, and no
bird can improve on nature. The pe
culiar sound Ls made by the use of a
sort of double bellows, through which
the wind is forced at the propel inter
vals. If it is a good clock the mimicry
is perfect. It is an invention which
cofild have been made onty here, in the
land of the cuckoo. At this time of
the year the bird can be heard see
sawing away in every copse of woods,
lie has points of difference from the
American cuckoo. lie docs not lay his
egg in other birds’ nests, and seems, in
fact, to be a very decent kind of fowL

arises from the fact that when a man
is courting a girl he only sees her “at
her best.” both as regards temper,
looks and everything else. After mar
riage he is rudely disillusioned and
vaguely wonders whether this snappy
young woman with untidy hair and
perhaps a shine on her nose can be
the sweet-tempered, faultlessly-dressed,
lovely Angelina of a few months ago.
Yes, young man, says the New York
Advertiser, she is Angelina right
enough, only she has, so to say,
thrown off her mask, now she has
“got you,” and appears in her true
colors, which are not quite of so fas
cinating a hue as those that dazzled
your lovesick eyes in the courting
period. It is nearly every girl's am
bition to get married. She lays her
self out to do so, and any little artifice
that will enhance her natural charms
she has no hesitation in using. She
dresses for effect, she poses for effect,
she talks for effect, in fact, during this
stage of her life she is acting—for
every woman is more or less of an
actress—and it must be confessed that,
generalty speaking, she acts her part
very well.
After all, it is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and
endeavor to captivate mankind, for
marriage is the be-all and end-all of a
society girl's existence. The worst of
it is that she cannot keep this up after
marriage. It would be too great a
strain both physically and mentally.
As it is, heaven only knows what she
goes through during the anxious time
when she is angling for a fish, especial
ly if it he* a gold fish. She molds her
self to his likes and dislikes, and out
rages her own feelings, until the little
golden band on her fingers allows her
to breathe freely and declare that
“Though he likes living in the coun
try, she detests it, and does not intend
to live there.” Mr. Neuwed is startled
and astonished. This is open rebellion.
Yet when he was courting her she ap
peared such a meek, gentle creature, as
to have no wish or will of her own,
quite content to follow in his lordship's
footsteps. “What a fool I was to get
married,” he mentally exclaims, and
then in all probability the bickering
begins that renders married life one
long misery. Perhaps it now dawns
on Mr. Neuwed that when he was
courting her she was at her best.
A word to men. When you are court
ing a girl remember she is at her best
in every respect, and that she cannot
possibly always keep up this high
standard after marriage; so grasp the
fact that yon are not going to marry
an angel, but a human being with many
faults, perhaps as many as you possess
yourself.

BETTING WOMEN IN ENGLAND.
One Section Where They Comprise About
Half the Race Wagerers.
A correspondent of the Birmingham
(England) Mail says: “I read your
paragraph on ‘Do women bet?’ I
should say that instead of being twenty
per cent, they are at the very least forty-
five per cent. if notin the actual major
ity. In this immediate district there is
a system for collecting bets that beats
creation. A bookmaker, who, by the
way, is also a license holder, employs
five -or six men, who, I suppose, go
under the name of clerks, each of
whom has a round or district, and
every day—that is, every racing day—
these men call on their respective
clients—women, of course, whose hus
bands are at work earning money to be
thrown away. I know more than one
case where everything that can be
raked together to pawn for the pur
pose is done, and the winnings, when
they have one, go to the bookmaker for
a royal booze.
“What I should like to point out is
the mischief a man who holds a license
and is a bookmaker can do in a neigh
borhood. He not only incites to gam
bling, but also to drink. I myself have
seen scores of women enter the house
with papers, and, of course, they must
have a drink before they leave. Per
haps the public will ask how it is done.
The house in question is so surrounded
hy touts that on the approach of a po
liceman the signal is given and the
thing stopped till the coast is clear.
This is no prejudiced view of the mat
ter, but a real fact, which can be veri
fied daily on a walk through this dis
trict by anyone with his eyes open. It
is surely time the law stepped in and
said to the publican bookmaker: ‘You
shall have no license.’”

MYERS YET AT URGE
No Trace of the Bold Young At
lanta Assassin.
STORY OF TIIE MURDER OF CROWLEY.
One of the Most Atrocious of Crimes, the
Outcome of a Deep and Well Planned
Conspiracy—Prominent Young
Men Who Jb’i^ure.
Atlanta. Ga., September 20.—Tha
complete details of the murder of For
rest Crowley in a thicket just beyond
West View eemetary, this city, on
Tuesday last, have just been made pub
lic. The mutilated body of tlie mur
dered man was found only yesterday,
and this brings to light a conspiracy
that lias been going on for two weeks
or more.
Crowley was manager of tlie Roswell
wollen mill, and though only 27 years of
age, was a man of considerable business
experience, and handled large interests.
Story of the Hloody Crime.
Circumstantial evidences points strong
ly to Will Myers as one of his murder
ers. The motive was robbery. Crow
ley had §700 on his person at the time
of his murder. Myers had induced him
to come to the city from Roswell, a vil
lage twenty-four miles above here on
the Richmond anti Danville. Myers
stated that he wanted to buy some
mules from Crowley and the latter sent
them to the city. Under pretense of
consulting a business partner Myers in
duced Crowley to take a drive in the
country. They left tiie city in a buggy
at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. At 10:15
o'clock Myers came back alone. Craw
ley’s father, who is president of the
Roswell manufacturing company, met
Myers and inquired for his son. My
ers made conflicting statements. 51 r.
Crowley shadowed Myers and at 2
o’clock saw him take a cab and drive to
the union depot. That is the last heard
of Myers. All that afternoon and night
police, detectives and friends searched
for Crowley. They feared that he had
been killed. Yesterday morning his
father and Detective Cason found the
body two miles beyond the city limits.
Tiie Assassins Get the Money.
Young Crowley’s purse was missing.
In one pocket was §136 which had been
overlooked. The surroundings indi
cated that two men did the murder.
Crowley had been shot in the head and
then his skull was crushed. His mur
derers had walked on their heels for 100
yards in leaving the spot.
Myers has not been found. It is
thought that he is making for Cincin
nati where his father was at one time a
Pinkerton detective. Myers is only 19
years old. He is a member of the Gate
City Guard, the swell military company
here. He graduated at a military
school here hut has never worked. He
is a right handsome fellow, muscular,
has a pleasant address and was always
neatly dressed.
Charles Jones, a nephew of Rev. Sam
P. Jones, the evangelist, was arrested
this afternoon on suspicion. He is a
chum of Myers. Jones declares that he
knows nothing of tlie murder.
