I’.).-—A special to the Times from Columbus, O., says: While Governor Foraker adheres to his announcement of last evening that ho would say nothing about the snub that was given him and his wife by Mrs. Cleveland, at Philadelphia, he has refer red all inquiries to members of bis stall', and other persons to whom he has relat ed the circumstances, with the under standing that he has no objection to their talking if -they desire to. Beforo leaving thirdly this morning he related his sto ry to his privato secretary and to other gentlemen. Adjutant General Ax line, who happened to be witness of the Phil adelphia incident, corroborates all the Governor has to say ahaut it. The story brief ia that the Governor remarkod to his wifo on tho way to tho Cleveland resception that he was Informed that Mrs. Cleveland had turned her back to him in the parade of tho day, though he did not believe it to be a fact, but thought if she were inclined she might embarrass them at the reception. Mrs. Foraker Replied that she did not believe that Mrs. Cleveland Would undertake anything of tho kind, hut when they came to be presetted the President greeted them in a cool manner and Mrs. Cleveland, who came nextin the line, elevated her‘head and refused even to look at the Governor and his wife. The Governor undertook on the spur of the moment to introduce Mrs. Foraker, but it would not WQrk, and they passed on, after which Mrs. Cleve land's face became wreathed in smiles, and the othor callers wore greeted with a shake of the hand. I The Governor was asked before leav ing the city to-day if the statement! are correct that are being made by hid $ri vato secretary and members of his sttfi*. and he refused to deny them, saying that they had had a good opportunity to See what took place. # - PRESS COMMENTS.

LYODELL'S FLYING TRIP FROM MONTflMIEftY TO ATLANTA- Notified That Rfia Child is Dying at Char- charlotte, He Secure* a Special Train and Get* to Atlanta la Time to Make Connec tions. Atlanta, Sep. 18.—Tbe lore of fath er for child and tbe depth of anxiety which may be aroused on occasions had a forcible illustration to-day and in a manner not often chronicled. Mr. Forbes Lydell, a well-known mer chant of Montgomery, received a dis patch in that city about 1 o’clock this af ternoon that a child of his, now in Char lotte, was lying critically ill and not ex pec ted to live. t The train for Atlanta bad passed hours before, and thedeparture Of the Air-Line train from thiaecity for Charlotte is at 6 p. m., his inly train until to morrow, which, in all probability, would carry him to the bedside of his child too late. His anxiety was so great that he de< termined to go at once, if possible, atany cost, and he suc&jpded, in arranging with the railroad authorities for a special train, which would put him in Atlanta ir. time to make the connection with the Air- Line. For this valuable and timely commodation he paid one dollar per mile for the distance covered, 176 miles. The engine, with a coach attached, containing Mr. Lydell and Train Dis patcher McKenzie in charge, pulled out of Montgomery at 1:15 p. m. Engineer John McWaters had the throttle which was a guaranty that the trip would be made in safety and in good time. Over considerable portions of the distance the run was made at a rate exceeding a mile a minute, and at 5:20 the train ran into the Union depot here with forty min utes to spare. Mr. Lydell left for Char lotte on the Air-Lineat 6 o’clock. MezchantaTluiiui This.

[Atlanta Journal.) “We have arrested the man who com mitted the Woolfolk murder.’’ That was what Mr. F. R. Walker said to a Journal reporter to-day. Ho then said that he had received a letter from the sheriff of one of the Georgia coun ties, who had arrested a man for some offense, and that in conversation with tho criminal the subject of :lie Woolfolk murder came up. Tho man made some remarks which put the sheriff's, wits to work. lie listened quietly and let the conversation run on till the fellow had said enough more to make it evident that he know something about the crime, Having gotten all he could in this way, tho sheriff resolved to flush the game, lie turned to the prisoner suddenly and accused him of having killed the Wool folk family. The prisoner was taken off his guard and showed considerable citeinent. lie denied it violently, and said; “I didn’t kill those people, blit if I er get out of jail I will bo a desperado and kill everybody 1 can, from the to old age.” Mr. Walker telegraphed the sheriff to hold the prisoner, and has gone to the place cf arrest. The Journal will probably be able to give full particulars in a jew days. COTTON SEED! PURCHASED IN ANY QUANTITY. HIGHEST MARKET PRICE PAID AT ALL TIMES.
