Heavy Vote Foiled.
The election throughout the entire
state was unusually quiet, while
the poll workers were more ac
tive than usual. The campaign on the
part of both the parties had been zeal-
. waged, and though but little fear
"listed as to a democratic victory, the
p- pr.ii-ts were well organized, and in
ai-iitC n to their strength two years
: _ . a heavy ISbor vote and a good
h.'-ek of tlie negro vote was conceded
them. The vote of the state for gover-
tn-in October, 1892, was: Northeu
- !!!.. 140.492; Peek, (pop.) 68,990. A
- larger than the one two years ago
wasp-died yesterday, anil the demo-
'■vatic majority reduced.
Mr. Atkinson ran behind his ticket in

Explanation of the Mutiny in Which tin*
Ceorgia Convicts Figured.
Wayckoss, Ga.. October 4.—Jones
returned last night from Waltertown
where he held an investigation of the
convicts mutiny yesterday morning,
lie had tlie convicts, one by one.
brought without the camp to him and
to them all lie put many questions as
to the cause which led to the mutiny.
Each of the 40 convicts told him their
tale of woe, and only one of them com
plained of cruel treatment. This one
said he had been severely Hogged. Tlie
general complaint made by the con
victs was that they had been getting-
very little food, except bread and ha-
eon. They wanted vegetables and com
plained that none hail been given them.
When they had been examined Col.
Jones had them come where he could
talk to them. He told them that they j
had forfeited their lives according to ;
law; that when convicts are guilty of
mutiny, the law says that they shall be
shot,"but,” said he,“I shall not enforce j
the law to tlie full extent. I shall,
however, punish each of you,”
lie then ordered one of the convicts j
to he Hogged. Before this order was j
executed the convicts began to plead j
for mercy and promised to go to work j
and never be guilty of mutiny again, j
Kir. Jones then told them that if they |
would apologize to their new boss and |
promise to be obedient and faithful to
him hereafter, he would pardon them
and not have them punished. The con
victs apologized very humbly to both
Mr. Jones and their new boss and at 1
o'clock t hey went to work. Thus ends
the convict strike.
Birmingham, Ala., October 4.—Yes
terday in the company’s office, Rail
road tracks and Twentieth street, a
meeting of the stockholders of the Ala
bama Great Southern railway company
was held. The meeting was very brief,
not lasting over thirty minutes.
When the meeting was called to or
der a vote was cast for a board of di
rectors. Here a split came, and one
that is likely to bring about some
changes. The Greenough faction voted
for the re-election of the old board of
directors, while the other faction voted
for a new one. The opposition wanted
a board in which a majority of the
members were Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton people.
While a little squabbling was going
on a bomb went off that blasted the
movements of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton faction. The bomb was in
the shape of an injunction issued by
Judge Bruce and served by United
States Deputy Marshal L. B. Musgrove.
The injunction was served on the in
spectors of the election. W. M. Ramsey
and J. Howard Taylor, restraining
them from easting any illegal votes,
such being offered for Alfred Sully,
General Kimmerman, M. D. Woodford,
Henry F. Shoemaker, H. A. Taylor and
J. H. Taylor, as directors, as none of
them were stockholders in the Alabama
Gi-eat Southern company. The laws of
tlie state require that a person must
first be a stockholder before lie is eligi
ble to election as a member of the di
rectory.
The inspectors agreed to obey tlie in
junctions, when the meeting adjourned
sine die. This made the old board hold
over, which is II. D. Browns, Francis
Pavy, A. B. Abraham, G. W. Medley,
Ed Lauterbaeh. C. S. Brice, John
Greenough, C. C. Harqey and S. M.
Felton, five Englishmen and six Ameri
cans.

Bat Corbett Decides to Fight
Letter Keavl-.es Him.
Xf.w Oki.kans, October 4.—The
lowing telegram has been sent bi
Olympic club:
To James J. Corbett. Boston. Mass.:
At a regular meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Olympic Club, held Tuesday. Octo
ber 2d. 1894. a resolution was passed unani
mously declaring Robert Fitzsimmons the
champion heavy-weight of the world, and he
will be compelled to defend the title against
the bout man that can be found iu the world.
The board of directors were compelled to take
this action on account of your persistent re
fusal to meet Robert Fitzsimmons, who had
complied with every requirement and the sub
terfuge you resorted to in causing O'Donnell to
challenge Fitzsimmons is not worthy of con
sideration. It was in the Olympic Club
that the heavy-weight championship of the
world was lost by John Lawrence Sullivan and
won by you and it is now within the province
and the duty of the Olympic Club to declare
Robert Fitzsimmons the champion heavy
weight of the world.
(Signed) William A. Scholl.
President Olympic Club.
A similar message was sent to Robert
Fitzsimmons at Newark. N. J., notify
ing him of the club's action, and that
\ he will defend tlie champion heavy
weight title in the month of February,
1895, against the best man that can he
| found in the world.
DEMPSEY, THE MIDDLEWEIGHT.
Wants to Defend the Title Against Any
Any Pugilist Living.
New Orleans, October 4.—The fol-
| lowing explains itself :
"Sporting Editor, the Daily Item :—
j Dear Sir: Judging from the tone of
j Kir. Fitzsimmons letter in the morning
! papers, I take it for granted that he
j has relinquished the title of middle-
| weight championship. If this he so, I
| hold myself ready to defend that title.
| I will meet any man in the world at
154 pounds and as a token of good faith,
I deposit in your hands tlie enclosed
click of 8500.
(Signed) John E. Dempsey.
CORBETT DECIDES TO FIGHT.
BUSINESS IN FAIR CONDITION.
Kesult of the Storm on the Coast Lands of
the Soul hern States.
Chattanooga, October 1.—The
Tradesman in its report on the indus
trial condition of the south for the week
ending September 29th says: The
heavy storm which passed over the
coast portions of several of the south
ern states during tlie week was quite
destructive to the orange crop in Flori
da. now nearly ready for the market,
and injured tlie Georgia and Soutli Car
olina rice crop about ten per cent.
The Birmingham iron market continues
active. Southern iron is growing in
popularity and is commanding a pre
mium for many uses as it becomes more
widely known. Cotton growers are
holding back cotton seed for higher
prices, and mill men say they cannot
advance on their present offers. Gen
eral business does not improve so rap
idly as was expected during August
and the first part of September, hut it
is in fair condition and collections arc
good.

STABLE BOTTOM AT LAST.
Lighthouse Can Now be Built Oil’the Dia
mond Shoals, North Carolina.
Washington, October 4.—The recent
heavy storm on the Atlantic coast de
monstrated the gratifying fact that a
stable bottom has been found off Dia
mond Shoals. Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina. Some time ago on borings
made by the lighthouse board of tlie
treasury, temporary pilings were driven
down at this point. The recent storm
did not burge them and if such tempor
ary work can withstand such a furious
storm, the belief is entertained that
permanent piles may remain secure,
by means of which a solid foundation
can be made upon which to erect a
lighthouse, which is so badly needed
on this dangerous coast.

SLAYED HIS FATHER'S SLAYER.
Cold Blooded 31 ardor in New Orleans Ba
sed Upon a Bloody History.
New Orleans, October 4.—Ten years
ago, Thomas Sweeney shot and killed
a man by the name of Ferguson. Yes
terday afternoon a son of Ferguson,
named Joseph, shot and mortally
wounded Sweeney. Tlie shooting took
place in an electric car on St. Charles
avenue. It was witnessed by a dozen
people and was one of the most cold
blooded crimes that has occurred in
this city for some years. Young Swee
ney was niotoi man and it was while he
was at his post of duty that he was shot
down. He was attacked without warn
ing and before he realized what was
taking place, his murderer had sent
three bullets through his head. Tlie
fued between tiie Ferguson and Swee
ney family dates back ten years. It
was on account of politics. The Fer
gusons claim that a man by the name
of Conrad Hoppe induced Sweeney,
who was shot yesterday, to kill old man
Ferguson. A year later Hoppe was
killed by a brother of the man who
shot Sweeney yesterday. The murderer
was arrested.
