Mr. Pettus of Alabama Makes
Constitutional Argument.
HE OPPOSES THE MEASURE
Biii introduced to Promute Two Rear
Admirals to Grade of Vice Admiral,
Professedly in interests of Sampson
and ; cliley.
Washington, Feb. lb — Iu pursuance
of previous notice, J.Ir. Pettus of Ala
bama addressed the senate today, oppos
ing the ship subsidy bill.
Referring to former Senator Ed
munds, reputed ro be the author of the
original subsidy bill, Mr. Pettus said
that the distinguished Vermonter had
demonstrated “his ability to cipher
around the truth.” He thought the
provisons of the measure justified him
in saying that Mr. Edmunds, as a sena
tor of the United States, could never
have written this bill.
Mr. Pettus argued that the bill ought
be passed, not only because of
viaj. a ueiegiriou
Christia u Temperan
interested iu having cue bill amended
so to provide for the closing of the ex
position on Sunday and to prohibit the
sale of liquor on tiie grounds, aiso were
in the gallery to watch the fight.
Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the special committee on the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition, moved the
passage, under suspension of the rules,
of the bill appropriating $5,000,009 for
the exposition.
A second was demanded and ordered.
This action allowed ten minutes debate
upon a side. Before the debate begun,
Mr. Lattimer of South Carolina asked
unanimous consent to offer the Charles
ton (S. C.) exposition bill as an amend
ment, but Mr. Hopkins of Illinois ob
jected.
The St. Louis exposition bill passed
the house—191 to 41. The result was
received with applause.
THE FIGHT IS OFF FINALLY BURNED IN A FOREST FIRE
not to
the millions it would draw from the
treasury, but also because of the princi
ples involved. He made a constitu
tional argument against the measure.
Senator Halo, chairman of the senate
committee on naval affairs, introduced
a bill for the revival of the grade of vice
admiral in the navy and authorizing
the president to appoint two rear ad
mirals to that ofiice. The bill is in the |
interest of Admirals Sampson am. 1
Schley and is intended to aid in solving j
the problem of their promotion as well j
as the promotion of other officers who j
served with them in the Spanish war. j
Our Trouble With Russia.
Washington, Feb. 19.—Representa
tive Sulzer of New York today intro
duced in the house the following reso
lution :
“Resolved, That the secretary of the
treasury be, and he is hereby, requested
to furnish the house of representatives,
if not incompatible with the nnblic pol
icy, with copies of all letters to him
from persons, firms, companies or cor
porations, and all letters from
him to them or any of them, together
with all reports, decisions and examina
tions, with his reason for the same, as
all other data, facts and information in
any way relating to the imposition of a
tax of countervailing, duty 0:1 Russian
sugars imported to this country, and
what action Russia has taken in regard
thereto by way of retaliation.”

Washington. Feb. 19.—At the open

the navy, and authorizing the president,

Managers Brady and Madden Receive
the Forfeit Money.
Cincinnati, Feb. 15.—The proposed
fight here tonight between Jeffries and
Ruhlin, that was enjoined and after
ward postponed, was today declared off
and no other time or place suggested
for it.
Managers Brady and Madden at noon
today received from the Atlas National
bank $19,000 forfeit money 011 deposit,
there. As each had put up §2,500, they
got that part back as even money, but
of the §5,000 that the Saengerfest- Ath
letic association put up Brady got §3,750
and Madden only §1,2? 0.
Both managers insist that they have
no other time or place in view for the
meeting of Jeffries and Rnhliu.
There will be nothing more heard of
prize fights here—not even of an appeal
ing the injunction in court.

WILL HAMILTON.
The woods had been set on fire since
they were killed, aud Mrs. Wilson’s left
leg was burned off at the knee and
Hamilton’s clothing burned to shreds,
thtir bodies presenting a ghastly appear
ance, bat it was easy to positively
identify them.
The couple disappeared a week ago.
Monday morning, after breakfast,
Mrs. Wilson left the house, saying she
would be out for a few moments. Later
she was seen by Mrs. Guthrie, who re
sides in the same house, in company
with Will Hamilton, at the corner of
Conrtland and Edge wood avenues.
When Mrs. Wilson left the house it
was evidently with no intention of leav
ing but for a few minutes. She had
dressed hastily for breakfast and wore a
loose dressing sacque, light slippers, and
as she left the hall threw a cape around
her shoulders.
She left word that she would return
in a shore time and went to the resi
dence of a relative, Mrs. Kruger, who
lives at 91 Piedment avenue.
Young Hamilton had been boarding
with Mrs. Kruger, and it is believed
that be followed Mrs. Wilson from the
house when she started to return home.
Detectives were employed and they
discovered that after leaving the
corner where they were last seen
by Mrs. Guthrie, the couple went
to the restaurant of the Maine hotel, on
Walton street, and there Mrs. Wilson
ate breakfast. Hamilton did not eat,
but sat at the table with Mrs. Wilson.
After the meal both man and woman
boarded a river line car. This was the
last seen of the two, as the conductor
does not remember their getting off the
car.
! Horrible Accident Befalls a Central
Railway Employe.
j Griffin, Ga., Feb. 19.—Hal Good-
i man, one of the bridge force of the
j Central railroad, was struck by the

| night at Pomona, 4 miles north of this
I place, and both legs were crushed just
below the knee. He is in a critical con
dition.
Goodman signaled the accommoda
tion, which stopped a short distance be
low the station, and was backing back
to get him, when the rear coach struck
him, two of the trucks passing over his
legs. He was brought to this city, the
crew of the train taking the precaution
to cord up both legs to staunch the
bleeding^.
Goodman is about 36 years of age and
has a wife aud three children living at

GEORGIA FARES VERY WELL
MRS. H. M. WILSON.
Mrs. Wilson was a beautiful young
widow, about 30 years old, with whom
Hamilton, a young pharmacy student,
was infatuated, though it is said shs
gave him no encouragement. It is said
Hamilton would hang about her horns
and watch for opportunities to see her.
Her mother had become alarmed and
tried to stop his attentions. The fact
in tiie River and Harbor Measure as
Reported.
Washington, Feb. 20.—The river aud
harbor bill reported to the senate has
been cut about §15,000,000, but the re
duction has been made in such a way
that none of the Georgia items are af
fected, except that for the inner bar at
Brunswick, aud that can stand reduc
tion better than any other item.
No appropriarion less than §50,000 is
touched. The appropriation for the
Coosa is cut a little in its entirety, but
this is divided between Georgia aud
Alabama in such a way that the total
cut is only §12,500, aud the bulk of this
will be borne by Alabama. This cut in
the total of the river and harbor bill in
creases its chances for becoming a law
at this session.
Savannah, Feb. 18.—Lived with a

negro. A post-mortem revealed that the
bullet which ended Fender’s life passed
through the left lung aud the lower por
tion of the heart. Fender was kept
alive for ten hours by the use of a salt
solution.
The police have found an eye-witness
to the shooting, M. H. Patterson, a
white man, who positively identifies
Brooks as the man. Patterson says
that he heard the negro threaten to
shoot if Fender attempted to arrest him,
and that he saw the shots fired.

Atlanta., Feb. 16.—Junie Pierce, a
white man from Gwinnett county, who
has been serving a sentence in the Tower
for mooushining, was released today,
but was immediately rearrested on a
warrant charging murder.
The warrant is from Gwinnett county,
and charges that several months ago

Carrollton, Ga., Feb. 16.—A liquor

j common to dispensaries. The town or-
dered an election to determine whether
j this should be done,, aud out of a voting

Peacli Crop Ls In Danger.
Dalton, Ga., Feb. 20.—The vast peach
interests of Whitfield and Gordon coun
ties are again iu danger this year from
being too far advanced for the season.
The mild weather of the past few weeks,
with the exception of a few days, has
brought out the buds to a remarkable
degree, and on the younger trees they
are so far advanced that the blossom is
seen on some of them. If enough cold
weather comes to prevent the fruit from
developing before Easter, this section

sided. It is said that, several days be
fore their mysterious disappearance,
Hamilton told one of his friends that he
was of a great mind to kill both Mrs.
Wilson and himself, and he seemed very
despondent over the way she may have
treated him.
Her mother was completely prostrated
when the sad news was broken to her
this morning, aud the grief of Mrs.
Wilson’s little 6-year-old child was piti
ful to behold.
The Union Mine* Horror.
Victoria, B. O., Feb. 20.—In all,
seven bodies have been taken from the
Union mines—two whites, three Japan
ese and two Chinese. The men have

out may be mutilated.
Public Gatherings Prohibited.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 20.—The board
of health decided this afeernoon that no
church services, no theaters or other
public gatherings should be held the
next two weeks. In this way the board
expects to completely wipe out scarlet
fever. Only half a dozen cases are re
ported in town, but the board of health
will take every precaution to prevent
any spread of the disease.
Street Carnival Called.OfF.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 19.—The city
board of health has decided not to al
low the street carnival advertised to
open today, owing to the prevalence of
scarlet fever. Most of the shows were
erecting tents when notified. They
threaten to enter suit against the city.
All the schools of the city were closed
for the same cause.
There is more calami in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until thelast few years was supposed to
be Incurable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a ioeal disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constanti
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F J.
Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Santa Fe, N. M., Feb. 19.—The Nava
jo Indians are leaving their reservation
and wandering all over the northern
counties of the territory. They have
practically taken possession of a strip of
land 50 miles wide and 200 miles long,
and are barring out of the strip all stock
whose owners do not pay them for wa
ter privileges. The tax is generally ten
sheep for every 1,000 head allowed to
water.
For the weakness and prostration
following grippe there is nothing so

highly endorsed as an unfailing
remedy for all throat and lung
troubles and its early use prevents
consumption. It was made to cure

Macon, Feb. 20.—The election held
in Macon yesterday to determine the
question whether bonds should be issued
by the mayor and council of tbs city of
Macon for the sum of $70,000, for the
purpose of paying for the new bridge
erected over the Ocmulgee river at Fifth
street, and for the purpose of paying off

Macon, resulted favorably for the bonds
by a large majority, there being only 11
votes cast against bonds.
