WOMEN ONLY TO COMPLETE.
Tlio Building for the Woman’s Department
to be Designed by a Woman.
Atlanta, October is.—The building
committee for the woman s department
of the Cotton States and International
exposition has decided unanimously to
employ a woman architect, and has
i offered premiums for the best designs,
with competition open to women every
where. Those wishing to compete are
invited to correspond with Airs. E. C.
Peters, of Atlanta, Ga., who will fur
nish all necessary information.
The site allotted to the building is
one of the best, commanding the whole
of Piedmont park from an eminence.
As the main buildings have been de-
signed in a simble, broad Romanesque,
it is proposed to give the woman’s
building a colonial type, to harmonize
and at the same time hold its own with
larger buildings in its immediate vicin
ity. The structure will he about 150 by
250 feet, with generous entrance hall
opening into large exhibit rooms on
several sides. The southeast facade is
to have a broad veranda with circular
porch in the center. The building is to
be provided with an emergency hospital
with entrances on the ground floor,
; and there will he a restaurant and a
kindergarten, or day nursery, where
mothers may leave their children.
The Alexican government has invited
President Collier to send for publica
tion in the official organ of the repulic,
a letter setting forth the advantages
which the exposition offers people of
that country. Such a communication,
written in Spanish, will be forwarded
at once.
Plans for the negro building of the
Cotton States and international exposi
tion include a novel exhibit in the way
of panorama, showing the progress of
the negro from his native state in the
wilds of Africa anti thatched huts by
successive stages to the most advanced
types of the race in America. Resides
this a large assembly ball for negro
congresses is a leading feature. The
building has 25,000 feet floor space.
The exposition has secured a chime
of hells larger and finer than the one
at the World’s fair, and they will he
placed in a big tower 150 feet high on
the big manufacturers and liberal arts
building.
The new process of extracting gold
from red dirt by chloriration will be in
operation in machinery hall.

Meeting; of the Executive Committee of
the State Agricultural Society Called
to Meet in Macon October 23.
Plans Proposed.
Atlanta, October 18.—A special
meeting of the executive committee of
the Georgia State Agricultural society
has been called to assemble in Alacon
on Wednesday the 24th inst.. “to con
sider the present ruinous price of cot
ton and to take some steps if possible,
to remedy and avert impending dis
aster. ”
Meet During the Macon Fair.
The call is issued by Hon. John O.
Waddell, president of the State Agri
cultural society. The meeting will
take place on the second day of the
state fair, which begins at Alacon on
the 23d inst. President Waddell in issue-
ing the call says he wishes "to be dis
tinctly understood as opposing tlie sell
ing of cotton to the injury of the credi
tors, hut it is believed that the best in
terests of debtor and creditor will be
subserved if advances can be secured on
cotton so as to allow it to be held over,
thus stopping the large daily receipts
and at the same time giving the farm
ers the opportunity of securing ad
vances on their cotton by which they
can meet their obligations and at the
same time hold their cotton for better
prices.” Part of the cull reads as fol
lows:
Tlie Plans Proposed.
“A brief suggestion as to the plans
indicated: Aloney is plentiful, and at a
low interest in the banks. These banks
and commission merchants, who are
our friends, can be induced to advance
a reasonable amount on cotton, and
thus allow the farmer to hold his cot
ton another year, and, at the same
time, enable him to pay his obligations
to nearly the full amount of his cotton.
At present prices it is impossible to
more than pay the cost of -cultivation,
picking, ginning and fur guano, leav
ing the farmer nothing 'with which to
meet other just obligations. If the
plans and suggestions which you may
promulgate, shall be adopted by the
other cotton states, we believe good re
sults will follow. There can be no
doubt that the cotton acreage will of
necessity be greatly reduced another
year, the crop reduced in consequence,
and tlie cotton carried over command
better prices.”

Greatest Kxcitement Over the Light Sen

Troops Rush to the Rescue.
Further Bloodshed.
Washington, O., October 18.—In the
criminal court yesterday Jasper Dolby,
the negro who assaulted Mrs. Mary C.
Bird, of Parrott's Station, a week ago,
confessed the crime, and was sentenced
to the penitentiary for twenty years.
There was every prospect of a bloody
light last night, as a great mob was in
town bent on lynching Dolby, and the
sheriff had two companies of state mi
litia here to help protect the prisoner.
A special grand jury was called. Dolby
was indicted yesterday and his trial
and sentence followed promptly. The
county officers iioped by this means to
quiet the mob and avert a fight.
Later.—The sheriff with three com
panies of militia started in the evening
to take Dolby, the negro rape fiend, to
the penitentiary, hut at the depot the
mob got possession of the prisoner.
The militia charged, killing two of the
mob and recapturing the prisoner, lie
was then hurried back to the jail. A
call has been made for the First and
Fourteenth regiments.
“Lynch Him,” Yelled the Mob*
As darkness came cn a crowd of 1,800
people surrounded the courthouse and
jaii, which are really one building,
yelling, “Lynch him, Lynch him.”
Finally some one threw a stone, which
struck a soldier on the breast. Then
Colonel Coit, whose anger was aroused,
addressed the people in language which
was very plain and forceful. He told
| them not to repeat the offence. “If
j you want to injure any one,” said he,
“hit me and not these young men,”
and with hat uplifted he walked out
into the crowd, and said, “Here I am,”
i his face ashen with anger. The crowd
gathered around him. but not a man
lifted his hand to strike the colonel. It
was probably well that they did not,
for standing on the courthouse steps
were the soldiers with guns loaded,
waiting an order to fire. The crowd
surged closer and closer to the court
house steps, becoming bolder as the
darkness increased. Colonel Coit ad
dressed them again, or rather attempt
ed to do so, but they would not listen
to him. He shouted that he would
have to order the solders to fire if they
did not fall back, but on they came,
and finally the order to fire was given.
Three Men .Shot Dead.
Many were seen to fall, and the mob
fled like a lot of frightened sheep.
Three fell dead and ten are wounded.
Three more companies are on the way.
The mob surged forward with in-
j creased zeal after a few moments had
elapsed. Every effort was made to
hold them at hay until the special train
bringing the Cincinnati troops could
arrive. The latter were delayed in Cin
cinnati until after midnight, and in the
meantime the soldiers on the scene
charged ready to fire, and no further
attempt was made to actually run over
them. Great excitement still exists,
and more bloodshed will follow.

| Two Omaha Judges Try tlie .Same Uasc, at
the Same Time, in UitFerent Booms.
Omaha, Neb., October 18.—The most
remarkable situation in tlie history of
j the district court was on yesterday
i when two different judges in two dif
ferent rooms of the building were en
gaged in hearing the same case. Judge
Scott, said to be a personal enemy of
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee,
announced that he would certainly in
sist on trying the criminal libel suit of
Sophia Bennett, against Rosewater, de
spite tlie request of the editor for a
change of venue and the decision of
tlie other five judges that the ease
should be taken from Judge Scott and
tried before Judge Ambrose. When
court convened Judge Scott took up the
case, being upheld and sustained by the
county attorney, and entered upon tlie
hearing of the motion to dismiss the
request for a change of venue. Mrs.
Bennett declared it her intention to
refuse to prosecute before any other
judge than Scott, At the same hour
Judge Ambrose called up the ease and
continued it until 2 o'clock. Judge
Scott heard and granted the motion to
dismiss, presented by Mrs. Bennett and
delivered a long declaration of princi
ples, declaring the other judges to be
swayed by fear of Rosewater.
Later Judge Scott dismissed the case
against Rosewater on motion of the
county attorney by request of the
plaintiff, Mrs. Sophia Bennett. Mrs.
Bennett matle this request because she
feared she would lose the case other-

EXILED FROM HOME.
It is said that at this time there are
twenty-two ex-sovereigns residing iu
different parts of Europe, none of them
in the countries they once ruled.
Pius IX., the late pontiff, was driven
from Rome during the stormy days of
1S-18. lie fled in disguise to Gaeta, and
remained there until restored by for
eign aid.
Emperor Charles V. lived iu volun
tary exile during the last years of his
life, liis chief occupation in his retire
ment was devising new viands to tempt
his gluttonous appetite.
A great many of the popes have
been forced into exile, generally by
emeutes among the turbulent Roman
populace. A few were restored, but
most of them died in exile.
Marie de Medici, the mother of three
queens, was driven into exile by the in
fluence and address of Cardinal Rich
elieu. She lived in great poverty, often
wanting the necessaries of life.
Jerome Bonaparte remained in exile
from 1S15 to the revolution of 1848,
when he was restored to his military
rank and made governor of the in-
valides. He died in Paris in 1800.
Whole families have sometimes been
exiled at one time. The Stuart family
was twice driven from England, and at
different times the Bourbons and the
Bonapartes have been expelled from
France.

ylS A CLEANSER
of the blood, nothing sweeps as clean
as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It
purifies the
blood as
well as en
riches it. The
truth is, an em
ulsion of Cod
liver oil is good
for building up
fat — no doubt
about it. But—
ugh! a weak
stomach loathes
it. Fortunately,
there’s a tissue-
builder, that’s
even better for
making healthy
flesh. Pleasant
in taste—effect
ive in result.
That’s the “Dis
covery.” It goes to work in the
right way, by regulating, cleansing,
and repairing all the organs of the
body.
When the germs of disease are

MUDDLE IN CAROLINA
Populists and Republicans Mixed
in Their Fusion Plans.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM THE MAJORITY.
The Bitterest Fight Ever Waged in the
State in the Supreme Court and Con
gressional Campaigns—Status
of the Fifth District.
Raleigh, N. C., October 18.—It is ad
mitted that the national republican
committee is sending no funds to North
Carolina for use in this campaign.
Chairman Holton of the state commit
tee said he did not propose to ask for a
cent unless he saw a good prospect for
success. The allegation is that the na
tional committee made a close calcula
tion on this basis. Tlie 1888 vote for
Harrison was 134,000, and in 1892 about
100,000, showing that of the vote cast
by the populists for Weaver in 1892
about 34,000 was drawn from the repub
lican party. The democrats contend
that the vote this time should be 150,-
000 democratic, 130,000 fusion.
So much mixed are matters in the
fusion ranks that neither the chair
man of the populists nor the republi
cans can furnish a correct and com
plete list of the nominees of their
respective parties for congressmen,
judges and solicitors. The pouiists
have in most cases endorsed the repub
lican nominees for superior court
judges and solicitors; indeed so far as
your correspondent can discover they
have not to this date endorsed a single
one of the men the democrats have put
up for those positions, though they
have talked ceaselessly about a “non
partisan judiciary” and declared their
purpose to indorse with that end in
view.
The closest fight is in the 5th con
gressional district where there are four
aandidates, republican, independent
republican, democrat and populist.
Settle, the republican nominee, is the
present encumbent.
It is clearly seen that the republicans
are dissatisfied with the fusion ar-
langement though are urged on by
the populists.
STRAUS’ CHANCES ARE SLIM.
Not Believed in Washington That Tam
many's Nominee Can he Elected.
Washington, October 18.— Reports
concerning the campaign for mayor of
New York, where the Tammany and
anti-Tammanv fight is most sharply
joined, indicate a strong probability
that Straus, the Tammany candidate,
will not be able to hold the ordinary
Tammany vote, and is likely to be
beaten by a very large majority. The
fact of the Sun, the great Tammany
paper, opposing him with great bitter
ness is regarded as a serious matter. It
is understood, of course, that the Sun’s
opposition arises from the differences
between Paul Dana and Straus, when
they were on the park commission, hut
it is none the less serious for being
purely personal. Taking democratic
disaffection, the New York police scan
dals and all things together, it is pre
dicted by some who have looked the
situation over intelligently that Straus
will be beaten by twenty or thirty
thousand.
