.CITIES OF ATLANTA AND COLUMBUS
Both Represented by Their Mayors and
Councils—A Large Attendance on
Yesterday—Many Visitors
Remained In the City*
The second ■week of the Dixie Inter
state Fair closed last night and still
pure Is more to come. The Dixie fair
not over with yet by a good deal,
nd the tact needs to be thoroughly
idvraftood 'll rat of all.
The fair contlinues four more days;
to put It more plainly, Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. And it will be Just as good a
fair this week as last, for under the
rules of the association no exhibits can
e removed aud no-ne of the attract
ions can fold their tents tike the Arab.
'They are not only obliged to stay, but
they are anxious to stay, and the ma
jority of them would like to see the
fair run a -week or two longer, for they
are all satisfied that the crowds will
:ontlnue to come. This is true, too, for
[many people in peorgia are Just be-
1 Inning to realize what a tremendous
hlng the Dixie Interstate Pair • Is.
They are waking up to the fact from
day to day and visitors continue to
coroo into the city. The outlook is for
large delegations from outside towns
on Monday, while the great major! t~
of those who are already here will re
main until the close of the fair.
This week's programme will be an
attractive ono throughout—races and
Pompeii tomorrow and everything else
that you have seen during <tlie past
•week. So'don' t get the Idea that the
Dixie Fair la over with or drawing Jo
a close, for it has almost another
Week yet -to run, aud its record, you
\ know, lias been to Increase In interest
: every day; • *\ ' 4
) ALL'OF GEORGIA HERE. r
Yesterday was no exception to this
rule, as can be attested by the thou
sands who filled the grounds during
-me day. The crowd was not as large
as Thursday, which, seems destined to
be the banner day of the fair, us far
as attendance,is concerned, unless to
morrow shows up moreitban 20,000 peo
ple. But It was a tremendous crowd af
ter all, and the most representative
body of Georgians yet In attendance on
the great exposition on any one day.
President Horne remarked during the
day that he believed every county in
Georgia was represented on the grounds
yesterday. This may have seemed true
of orther days, but it was uuquestlona-
I bly true of yesterday, for the entire
Georgia legislature was there, embrac
ing every county in the state.
It Is entirely true that the whole of
Georgia was at the Dixie Fair yester
day, and a more distinguished body of
people were never seen gathered to
gether in 'Maoon before.
A NANCY HANKS GAIT.
The legislators left Atlanta at 7:45
o’clock yesterday morning on a special
train on the Central, and at 10 o’clock
were In Macon, the old Central getting
an old-time Nancy Hanks move on her.
Just ibr thl3 occasion. It mm a two
hours and a auartcr run, and the legis
lators enjoyed the novelty of being
pulled along at the speed of 55 miles an
hbur. The special train bearing the
leglslatprs was pulled into the grounds
o t 10 o’clock, and was there met by the
mayor and council, directors and excu-
tlve committee of the Dixie Fair, the
Bacon and Bartlett clubs, who went
down to greet United States Senator Ba
con, and a number of prominent Macon-
tew who acted as a reception commit
tee.
Judge Matt R. Freeman and Vic Me
nard had arranged two cannon in the
half-mile track, and as soon as the train
pulled In they let go, firing ninety-three
rounds, the exact number of votes cast
for MaJ. Bacon for United States sen
ator In the legislative caucus.
MAJ. BACON’S RECEPTION.
MaJ. Bacon was with the party, and
as he appeared on fche platform of his
train, thousands of voices yelled a
hearty welcome to rthe man from Bibb,
who is to serve bis state In the United
States senate. MaJ. Bacon bowed grace
fully In recognition of the compliment
from his fellow townsmen, and then he
•retired to the hack ground. In order
to lot the honors be paid the legislative
punty more direct.
•As soon as ho reached the ground,
however, hundreds of people crowded
about him to shake his hand and con
gratulate him. It was not the time nor
place for a recaption of this nature, but
It -was just as hearty as ft ocralfl possi
bly haw been elsewhere, although it
may have been less elaborate.
THE SPEECH-MAKING. .
The leglslatore were accompanied to
Maoon by Mayor Goodwyn and the en
tire board of aldermen of Atlanta, and
they were escorted with the other vis
itors to the band stand In the half-mile
enclcsiure. where the speech-making
took place. All of the speakers seemed
to realize that a /air was no place for
set speeches, so they all anquRtOd them-
feclvet* in the briefest manner possible,
talking to the point and leaving off the
frilUs.
Governor Atkinson was not In the
party, being detained at home on ac
count of the sudden Illness of a member
of h> family.
IJAPwDBMN WEALCOMES THEM.
Judge J. L. Hardeman delivered: the
add a of t clcosne In the place of City
Attorney Wimberly, who‘.did not chow
up until after the speaking had-well be
gun Judge Hardeman’s remarks were
to i:.o poLr • <i . In f \. whoa
he , t iming over the city,
the Dixie F:i.r and the Midway to the
v.i. ‘ors. b .Ming rtv?m set? ahd enjoy
it « : am the duals of Macon and the
Fn! A ^Delation, but for *tbe of the
goo y.J date of Georgia, to beware of
tn? anting siren* on free and easy
Alidway. Some of the legislators start
ed to make a break alt once for «he Mid- I
way. but they were restrained and did
not go there until aftor the upeech-
tnaking had been concluded.
Copt. Evan Howell of the Ajtlanfta
ConeUtuUon. legislator, editor, politi
cian. and aH-round big xna.n of the party,
was introduced by lion. John T. Bbi-
feulllett, wiho said the people of Macon
might seance expect one of Capt. Hbw-
edi’s age to speak in public on the stage,
but he assured them thflJt his man had
been to the well many timet* before and
oft. and he advised them to listen a
minute and hear something.
OLprt. Howefll seemed to be blushing at
the profusences of this compliment, but
he soon scored down and warmed up to
hie task, and In a few minutes he had
delivered himself of, one of those neat
speeohee characteristic of him.
Mayor Horne then lultroduoed Mayor
Goodwin of Atlanta. Who also thanked
Wie people of Macon for their kind re
ception. He said he always loved' to
ernne to Macon, for be was always sure
of hospitable <trealtmemit.
Adjutant-General KeH was then In
troduced by Mayor Horne. General Kell
was present as the representative of
Governor Atkinson. bu»t only briefly
munitioned the reasons which kept the
governor In Atlanta, and expressed Mr.
Atklnsan’rt regrets at not being able to
jt>ln rtJhe party.
COLUMBUS REPRESENTED.
After the coucluskm of the speeches
the party was taken In hand by the
mayor and council, directors and recep
tion committee nnd proceeded to make
a •tbur of the fair.
■It bolnig Columbus Day,. Mayor Slade
and several members of the city council
of Columbus, together wilth prominent
citizens Af Columbus, were also on hand,
and they joined the party in eeelng the
Bigiuts of the Dixie Fair.
Mayor Goodwyn and Mayor - Slade,
with several members of t»he Atlanta
ant! Columbus councils, were taken In
hand by Mayor 'Home, who carried
them all over the grounds, even into
Midway, which was the last place visit
ed and Where they were last seen last
night.
The. visitors expressed themselves as
very much pleased with what they caw
and surprised at tne magnitude of the
exposition. Many frankfly admitted
-that it w-as ibhe biggest fair ever seen in
Gc/orgln, and some thought It should
not close until every man. woman and
child In Georgia had seen It.
POMPEII AGAIN.
The great spectacle. Pompeii, was
presented again last night to another
tremendous audience, the grand stand,
reserved ohalrs and boxes being filled.
The audience was not only a large
one. but a cultured one as well, similar
In character to that of last Monday
night r
Governor Atkinson’s picture was
presented in fire last night and brought
fcith great applause. By a singular
mistake the governor’s picture was
presented instead of United' States
Senator Bacon’s. The fireworks artist
did not know MaJ. Bacon from Gov
ernor Atkinson, or either from a side
of sole leather, and they got the pic
tures mixed. After It was learned
that Governor Atkinson was not in at
tendance on the fair It was decided to
present Senator Bacon’s picture in .fire

ccutlvo ofllco today .for tho ttrst tinio
since bis Inauguration, ami as a coiisc-
quenco tbe cupitol wore a deserted ap
pearance, the legislature) also having
taken a day off. Governor Atkinson
left on “the early morning train for
Greenville, ilerhvctlier county, in re
sponse to a telegram announcing tbo
serious illness of his brother Tom’s
wife.
It Is expected that tho governor will
announce some, If not all, of his im
portant appointments the latter part
of next week'. Ho nns not given any
intimation of his intention, but the Im
pression prevails that Adjutant-General
Kell 1b the only one of tho present in
cumbents who Is likely to bo retained
-in office, although all the other officials
are applicants for appointment aud
feel reasonably conffdent that they will
not bo disturbed.
Heavy pressure has been brought to
bear upon Governor Atkinson to make
a clean sweep and put men in nil the
offices who Stood by him inn is cam

ernor has a will of h'.s own, ns ho has
already shown, and his destro to see

line there-lias been a good deal said
about tho appointment of Professor

Professor Evans, who is Gen. Evans’
son, Is In no sense a candidate, and It
is not known whether ho would accept
the office hi all, but still there lias been

It is understood, that Governor At

THE RACING FOR THE DAT.
Tile rj-eln-g yesterday was In a-"meas
ure disappointing, for nlthcAigh there
■were some tharp -contests between the
huraes that started, the.track was In
-bad condition, and there waa nothing
like record breaking time made. Never
theless. the thousands of people who
saw the races enjoyed them to -tile full
est extent, and -in the measure or enthu
siasm exhibited the grand stand was
fully wCiat It was during the previous
days of the meeting. The weather
clerk’s special message to the racing
deportment of the Telegraph was cor
rect. although it went exactly counter
to the prophecy of that noted rain-
maker. Professor Park Morrell, The
rain of Friday had left tho track In the
heaviest of conditions, and it is wonder
ful that the horses made -the time they
did.
The unfinished running race was the
first event pulled off. andw as -won eas
ily and prettily -by Old South, owned by
J. A. Bland of NadhvKlc, Tenn. I. C.
W.. the. Atlanta, horse, ran second In the
heat and race.
The free for ull trot brought out but
three starters—alt good -horses. They
were -Musette, with McIntosh In the
sulky; Commodore, with Fuller up, and
Au'rain. with O. H. Fuji or on the bike.
Both of -the last named horses are
owned and emtered by the Hermitage
Stud Farm of NaShvlWe, Tenn.,while
Musette is the property of W. li. Sloan
of ‘Marino. This last horse has had tho
naime of -being the fastest horse to Geor
gia, but yesterday she had to acknowl
edge the superior speed of t-he Tennes
see cracks in whose company she had
gone. In the first head Autrain had an
easy dime of it. leading from the start,
nnit winning from Commodore Porter,
who broke in the stretch and failed to
regain his feet and let Musette get
ahead by a good distance.
In title second boat Audrain was lead
ing fkom -the wire -to the nuarter. with
Musette a very good aeoond, but be
tween the bait and quarter tbe mare
went off her feet, and the Commodore,
y-heu -he reached the stretch found him
self doing battle with Aulraln, who led
under the wire In an easy gait.
The third heat looked as though It
might be going to he Georgia horse,
but it didn't. She went neck and neck
with Autraln to the quarter, but be
tween that and the half she lost a tit
tle. being Just on the horse’s Bulky
wheels when they both reached the
half. She recovered again and raced
with Autratn to the stretch, where the
horse had a drive to win by a neck.
Porter trailed all the way and failed
to push the m&re for second place.
In the fourth section of the race
Autraln led Musette by a neck to the
quarter. Increased his lead to A length'
at the half, left the mare behind before
he reached the stretoh. and Porter,
coming along at a good gait, closed up
with him. but Autraln was the hotter
of the two and won handily..
In the yearling trotting stake race
Roquita had an easy time of it, leav
ing Jessie Green and Nllo well be
hind each time, and the gamester*
finished all the heats and the race in
the same order.
In the fourth event, the 2:29 trot.
Nubbin W„ the Georgia horse, wne a
grand stand favorite, but he hadn't
the wind for more than two heats and
was drawn After going flr»l_to c*ie
and Inst In the next. He was worn
out at the start, as he scored down as
many as seven times, and behaved »o
badlv that he was-sent away* behind
the field, but showed his garrenest and
le-t the others under the wire at a
go-id gait. The race was exciting, as
the -hors-e were very evenly wnatched.
and in one beat it was a hard mat-er
to decide whether Camlet - or Fannie
Bru-r.-wick had won. bat the horse got
the decision.
The i-st event, a consolation race for
running h-rne*. was won bv Giimox

for positions 1« for the place on the

candidates. Tho particular feature of

on Mr. Crenshaw on tho ground that
ho has aot had sufficient experience in

ono of Governor Atkinson's closest ad

Mrs. Hermann camo In a few min
utes after 12 o’clock and took tho
stand. She', was very Indignant aud
whispered t> Mr. Goff excitedly.
Tell tho committee what you are
lolling me," said ho.
“X waut-to say," said 6|io, “that ev
erything I stated yesterday was true.
I heard that'1’olice Justice Hogan said
In the morning papers that I lied. I
say I d,d not and I am not afraid of
him, Recordj-r tjmythe nor anybody

When I said f got $1,700 from the po

'Capt. Ityus Is in court, Mrs. Her
mann. Did Sc put money in to make
up tho $1,700$”
“1 do not know."
Mrs. HerHuftm gat vefy angry. 3he
broke in w.th: (“I am not alrnld of
Judge Hogan uov anybody elae. I told
the truth.” Here the witness looked
around the court and spied UlHcer Pet-
terman.
"Dou’t look «t mo Uko that,” eha half
shrieked; “you are a thief nnd a loafer.
You know you canto to my sister and
got money from her mure than thirty
i.mcs."
The witness was fairly white with
rage at tills point. Officer l’ettermnnn
stool up in ciiurt lu full uu'.from, hk
eyes drooped, and his face hlai".c,Vcd
under thii storm ol Invectives.
"You kifew, I’ctterinaun, I am telling

;ood girl until —.''
Here Mr. Goff Interrupted tho wit

She was then asked If aim recoguisod

night yliu loft her-house. —
She ngaln repeated the story of her
arrest and li«''being.Xined $100 by lie-'
cordcr Smylhti for assault, and said
she had no correction to make In her
cvttrocc.
A WEEK’S JOB.
“Now, Mrs. Hermann, la there any
thing else you wish to tolls*’
"Why, Mr. Goff, it would take mo a
Week to tell everythin,; 1 know.”
Tho witness tlion sultl there was a
house ah present, open in Wooster
street, kept by'n man named Byrnes.
“Tho man who keeps it is * friend of
Superintendent Byrnes."
Hero the witness started off again.
“I want to tellayou another thing,
Mr. Goff. I was asked by tlio lawyer
in Jersey City not to cotno before ttto
J-oxov committee beforo tlio election.
Ho said that Mr. Goff would bavo
lust his pull after clcotlon.”
’Was it Senator Daly >vho told you
this!”
“Yes, It was."
"Can ho bo committed for contempt
of court?" asked Chairman Lexow.
"I am afraid not," said Mr. Goff.
“He la in tho state of Now Jersey.”
iMrs. Hermann hero said nor sister
was in hiding In Jersey City nnd that
tho pollco knew it well. She said sbo
also received a visit from Lawyer Joe
Mohs of Cle firm of Howe & Hummed
when alio was in Jail.
I was told to keep away !u Chica
go," said she, “until tho Loxow com-
mlttco adjourned. My slater told mo
she was protected by tho district at
torney's otilco and'tho pollen and that
nothing could bo done to her."
She then told how Blumenthnl, the
professional bondsman of t!u> fffteenth
district, took n $100 bill lu a box of
cigars to Capt. Haughcy. She went to
tlio station houso aud watted outside.
"Blumenthnl wont into tho captain's

“Justice Hogan knew your sister?"
“Ho knew ber well and mo too."
She said each lime the girls were ar

The witness then said: "Judge Ho

$30 while she wu« In Jersey City.
Mrs. Hermann was then excuacd.
A BLOW AT O'CONNOR.
Mr. Dclanmter. clerk at police head
quarters, was called and asked tho
names of the captains of th* Tedder-
loin prcc.nct during 1S92 ami 1893.
He named (lapis. McLaughlin aud
O'Connor.
Mrs. Hermann had testified y«»terffaj
that she waa asked tor $2,000 tq Jan
uary, 1893, by a wardwnu when she
sought to open u house of 111-faute in
that precinct.
“Capt. Richard O'Connor." said Mr.
Goff, “It appears was In command of
tho Teuderlo.n front October 1, 1892,
to December o, 1893, which Includes
the period mentioned by Mrs. Her
mann. He Is tbe captain who is at
present under trial: ’
Richard Kuseli, who Is under arrest
for abortion, tost.tl.-d that his ease had
;bcou put off about twcuty times. Ho
claims he Is not guilty.
Mrs. Kusch, wife of Richard Kusch,
slated that Agaes Bcriholdl who was
tho girl her husband was charged with
procuring tho abortion of, was never
sick In her house, as Agnes had
claimed.
Mrs. MoebCs, mother of Richard
Kusch’s wife, denied uver going to Dr.
Whitehead with Agnes Bcrtliold, ua
was charged lu a pollco court. Dr.
Milton Whitehead was called, but a
recess was taken.
SHOCKING IN THE EXTREME.
Alter recess Mr. Whitehead was
called. He was a specialist In female
diseases. Ho bad been arrested four
times, charged with performing abor
tions. but. had never been convicted or
tried. He was arrested on February
24, 1894, by Sergls. Frink and Murphy,
cm tbe charge of performing an abor
tion on Miss Foos. Herat. Frink said
that Lawyer Emanuel Friend was a
friend of hln and that he (Whltohead)
should employ him. although ho pro-
foricd -Havre and Hummell. He Bald
ha bad paid the police over $2,000 for
Immunity from arrest.
In reply to -Mr. Goff, -the witness
mid that -there were about 200 abor
tionists In New York city. It was com-
mor. -he said, that abortionists paid
the police.
•Mr. Goff then addressed the com
mittee. He *a!d that he could not
allow this session to close without
complimenting his colleagues, Messrs.
Moss and Jerome. He then referred
to the evidence of Dr. Whitehead.
"I think.” said he. "that tho testi
mony we listened -to here this evening
Is tho most terrible we have yet heard.
I don't think that tho people of New
York. Who heretofore believed generally
that -there was public corruption in
this city, could even Imagine the hor
rible realities whloh -have been tes
tified to. and. to my humble opinion,
proven to exist. I am sorry that this
should bo so. for tho sake of our city
of New York.”
He then asked for an adjournment
until November 19. Senator Found
complimented air. Goff and his col
leagues on the good work -they had
done. „ „
"I cannot, however." said he, "allow

BIG BUCKET SHOP FAILURE.
Irwin & Co.* Owed About Eight Hun*
•* dred Thousand.
Pittsburg. Pa'.. Nov. 8.—The lamen
table failure of Goorgo M. Irwin A
Co., the big discretionary pool opera
tors, has spread consternation among
the depositors of • the firm nnd filled
the heart* of 'the other pool mon with
dismay. The failure Is the most disas
trous of nny 'that has occurred. lnn«r
much ns the number of persons- con
cerned is InfinlMv Inrff'M* thnn the
investors with dll the other pools put
together. „ . _
An anxious crowd surged ground Ir
win’s office this mowing, but 'they
were met and turned away by t\:o
very young ladles, who were not tiK
regular clerks. About 10 o’clock one
of 'the young ladles received a tele,
gram and Immediately afterward both
lefr. locking ono door of 'the office, nut
the inquisitive depositors found the
urlvate door open and flocked In. They
found the place deserted and tho desk*
locked tight, with evidence of «. hasty
exodus. 'Most of the depositors had
implicit faith In the firm, and in the
face of the firm's plain statement "that
not a dollar had been saved" from the
wreck, there are (hone who stM*n/iln-
t.tin that Mr. ' Irwin will return and
make good his obligations. A carerul
estimate of the losses through Irwtr
& Co.'s agent, since October 24 arS:
Loss on Chicago exchange, $1R1,640;
loss in bucket shop deals, $75,000;
cash paid out during the run, $150,000;
total, $370,640. It Is not known how
many depositors the flnm had. but it
is believed that nt least $600,000 hove
been swallowed up In the Irwin pool.
Blanched faces were conspicuous
about the offices of 'the other discre
tionary pools today and the managers
wore lees suave and confident. The
failure of Irwin & Co., and the action
of the -finance committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce In calling a special
meeting for the purpose of taking
action regarding Attorney Goehrlng's
recommendation to prosecute the oper
ators of tho pools and bucket ohops,
was the cause of their reticence.
There were a number of applications
for withdrawal filed at the pools to-
day. and at the Traders ono man made
a persistent but unsuccessful effort to
get his money hick. On this account
other arrests may be made.
COMBINING WITH POPULISTS.
Adopting
Mississippi Republicans
Queer Measures.
Now Orleans, Nov. 3.—A special to
tho TitneS’Dcuiocrat from Jnck«oo,
Miss., says:
It lias Just developed that during tbo
week several very prominent Republi
cans met behind closed doors lu this
city and decided to go over bag and
baggage to tho Populist parly. It Is
said that a representative of the Pop
ulist party was present, but whether
bo had any commission to net for bis
party Is not known. Neither Is It
known whether tho Populists would
consent to form that sort of sn alli
ance. ’Ibat these Republicans wore
eager for It, is believed. Part of tbo
tchcine as developed Is to start a Pop
ulist paper In this city to advocato tho
principles of that par*y, which is to
receive the support of the Republican*.
The Republican*, in case tho teberno
works, have agreed to support tho Pop
ulist nominees in the hope that a co
alition of Ihe parties may stand a pros
pect of defeating tho Democrats.
Whether the sehemo will pan out or
not the future alone can tell.

it Is' necsssMiy uawt the party should

FLOWER WAS ON HAND. '
Jersey City. N. J„ Nov, 3.—Governor
Flower reached here at 8:30 o’clock
tonight and wjb mot by a committed
of Democrats from Brooklyn wa«> ert-
contod him to the Democratic mass
mooting in that city, where ho wa« lo
sprtak. with Mr. Crisp. When ask'd
aiH/ut in* success of his stumping
lour throughout tho state, the gover
nor replied: "Altogether I have made
fifty-three speecnes rinre leaving Al
bany, Thu crowds have been very
large-much larger than L expected to
see—and I have not tho slightest doubt
of the succe.ss of cho Democratic tick
et. The presence of ex-Pre*ld*or. Har
rison, McKinley and other Republican,
speakers of national promtienco Uad
nude the Democrats everywhere fight
ing mad and tivey have their codts ofe
ready for the content. After studying
the situation as thoroughly as I could,
I came to the conclusion that Morton’s
plurality down to New York city will
not more tlun 38,000 and Is likely to
range between that and 35,000. I base
this prediction upon the energy with
which tho Democrats everywhere In
the state are working and upon tho
very favorable Indications everywhere
of an Increase In the Democratic vote.
If my note* are correct there is n >t
the slightest doubt of the result. Mr.
Hill will be dieted by a handsome mg*
Jorkty.”
