JEFFERSON.
Jefkkrhon, Sept. 20.—[Special.]—The
efforts of Jefferson to get a good railroad
rate was not because she loved Athens
less, but Jefferson more, and Atlanta
cotton men have made inducements to
Jefferson equal to Athens, and while Ath
ens may get the Jefferson cotton, Atlanta
is getting the proceeds of the cotton, in
other words, Jefferson to-day is spend
ing ten dollars in Atlanta goods where
she spends one doH-tr in Athens, and if
you will interview the cotton men you
will find that the greatest advantage to
Athens is tho cotton factor. What Jef
ferson wants is aj railroad, so Athens
can not only get the cotton, but the forty
or fifty thousand dollars that .Jefferson
sends every fall to Atlanta. Wo have
on an average six to ten drummers from
Atlanta per week, and they all sell goods.
if we had railroad connection with Ath

■shuno, rn., Sept. 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

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

MR. 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.

ON A NEW TRAIL.
Woolcolk’s Lawyer Think* He line Found a
Man.
[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.
