VT-SUVAKKTI CRISP.
r ia death resulted immediately from
; .pture in the walls of the heart,
■ F -u was itself brought about by a
oxysra, the result of congestion of
| udge lungs. Crisp had been in intense
| ould tin ail suffer day. greatly. Every few But minutes danger he
, no
was feared at such an early moment.
His wife, together with a sanatorium
n -se, Mis3 Sharp, was watching at his
bt Iside.
At about a quarter of two o’clock
Judge Crisp was seized with another
attack and quite suddenly he passed
into the-calm of death. The watchers
saw it aud sent down stairs for Dr.
Holmes. Judge Crisp’s two daugh¬
ters, Mrs. Fred Davenport, and Miss
Bertha Crisp, and his two sons, Mr.
Charles F. Crisp, Jr., and Mr. Fred
Crisp, were at the Ballard House on
Peachtree street. They wore quickly
summoned.
When they entered the room Judge
Crisp was still conscious. He gave
them a look of recognition, breathed
a few times and died. He could not
speak.
So quickly had the dread messenger
come that the stricken family stood
appalled in the death chamber.
Judge Crisp’s death, while apparent¬
ly thus so sudden, was not unexpected
by the physicians who have been
watching his health. He had been de¬
clining for several years. His last ill¬
ness, however, was immediately occa¬
sioned by an attack of malarial fever
which he contracted at home, Ameri-
cus, a few weeks ago, but which itself
yielded to treatment.
He was considered convalescent and
only last Sunday had ridden out. But
when renewed health seemed within
bis view, he was attacked by conges¬
tion of the lungs, which, added to the
weakness of the lungs and heart,
caused by two previous attacks of
pleuro-pueumonia, resulted iu his
death.
News Becomes Known.
When it did become known through
telegrams sent to friends and tele¬
phone messages, there was a sen¬
sation.- So very few persons had
kuown that Judge Crisp was seriously
ill that the news of the death was a
great shock. Wild rumors flew about.
One story was that he had died dur¬
ing or just after an operation, The
circumstances surrounding the death
were ju/st as stated above and the ru¬
mors about the operation were no
doubt'*jHo could account suggestion for his of sudden people who end
not
in any'natural way, being uninformed
of his critical illness.
Many prominent Georgians were in
the city, having come up to attend the
opening of the general assembly Wed¬
nesday. Most of these meu knew
Judge Crisp personally and esteemed
him highly. They expressed deep re¬
gret at his death at a time when so
many men are in the very prime of
life and are naturally looking forward
for yeats of usefulness.
SYCAMORE. IRWIN COUNTY. GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896.
Telegrams were sent broadcast over
the stale and country. Dr. Holmes
telegrnped at once t > Hon. Thomas B.
Heed, at Portland, Me,, and the ser¬
geant of arms of Ihe house. It is al¬
ways customary to notify these officials
of congress when the death of a mem¬
ber occurs so that the proper escort
may be appointed.
Telegrams ot Condolence.
Not until Saturday was the fact of
Judgo Crisp’s death generally kuown
throughout the country, The sad
news shocked the country from end to
Mr. Men who had bpeti in congress
with Crisp, and were time-sworn
friends heard of his death without hav¬
ing known that ho was even sick, To
these it was a sad blow.
From early in the morning telegrams
of sympathy were received by Mrs.
Crisp and her family. They came from
all parts of the union and almost every
gtatesent some message of condolence.
Many of the most prominent men in
the United States sent messages of
sympathy, and a number of govern¬ Mrs.
ment officials were heard from.
Crisp has received the sympathy of an
entire nation.
The Remains Lie in State.
The remains of Hon. Charles F.
Crisp lay in state at the capitol Satur¬
day. Thousands of citizens viewed the
body duriug the day. Loving tribute
was paid to the memory of the distin¬
guished man.
The cortege was large and impress¬
ive. The body was followed to the
staiehouse by many warm friends of
Judge Crisp in life, public officials and
admiring associates. The line of march
was through the principal streets of
the city and hundreds witnessed the
progress of the procession.
The body of the ex-speaker was en¬
cased in a handsome black silver
mounted casket and a profusion of
flowers adorned the covering. The
open casket permitted a view of the
clear, still faee of the dead, and as
the throngs of citizens passed the bier
sorrow and regret were depicted on
their features.
In the early morning friends and
admirers of Judge Crisp in life began
to gather at the sanitarium of Dr.
Holmes ou West Cain street, where the
body had been placed in the casket
ready to be removed, and an hour be-
'fore the time appointed for the escort
to start to the capitol, perhaps several
hundred people had called, many re¬
maining to follow the carriage to the
slatehouse.
The hour of 10:30 o’clock had been
fixed as the time for the rtmoval of the
body, and shortly after that time the
cortege moved oil'.
The procession was led by a de¬
tachment of militia, preceded by po¬
lice to clear the streets. Then came
the officials and citizens who had gath¬
ered to act as the escort.
Governor Atkinson and ex Gov. Wm.
J. Northen were first, followed closely
by the pallbearers. Then came the state-
house officials, members of the oouncil
and city officials, and members of the
Atlanta bar in the order named. The
citizens generally followed.
Arriving at the capital, the casket
win carried through the door of the
building nnd directly to the center of
the rotunda, where a dais had been
irlaced to receive the casket. ’
The casket lid was raised, the flow¬
ers being placed on the glass lid, leav¬
ing a large open space at the head of
the casket so that the people could
view the face of the dead man.
Thousands viewed the body during
the day and until 9 ocloek at
night. The casket was watched over
by a detachment of military. At 9,
o’clock Saturday night the doors of
the statehouse were closed to the pub¬
lic tfnd only the sentinels remained
with the body.
Removed to Americus.
At 6 :45 o’clock Sunday morning the
active pallbearers assembled at the
capitol and removed the body to the
funeral hearse. An escort of citizens
and officials accompanied the remains
to the depot, where the casket was
placed in the private car of Mr. J. B.
S. Thompson, of the Southern railroad
who tendered the use of the car to the
members of Judge Crisp’s family.
Following the funeral car was a special
car for the citizens,officials nnd friends
of the dead who followed the body to
its last resting place.
The members of the house and sen¬
ate committees appointed by Governor
Atkinson to escort the remains to
Americus traveled with the body.
The train on the Central left Atlanta
at 7:30 o’clock, and arrived in Macon
at 11:30 o’clock, where the funeral
party was met by a delegation of Ma¬
con citizens and officials, who paid
loving tribute to the dead in passing
through the city.
At Americus the sad tolling of all the
city’s bells told of the arrival of the
funeral train. And not from Judge
Crisp’s home alone did the sorrowing
ones gather, but from Lee and Schley
and Macon and Stewart and Dooly
aud Terrell and Houston they came
until the number teas swelled to 10,-
000. The story of a people’s grief was
written in the set, pale faces of the
thronging multitude.
From the train they bore him to the
white-columned Methodist cliurcb,
where he had so long worshiped with
them. And there by the altar they
placed the casket, where all might see
“In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.”
their friend's faee. Thous inds viewed
the body ut the church.
The funeral sermon wa< preached by
General Clement A. Evans. The ex¬
ercises were appropriate, find tender
tribute was paid to the deceased.
General Evans officiated ut the request
of Judge Crisp’s family.
The slow march to the cemetery was
made by the largest and most impres¬
sive cortege that ever mai ked a fnueial
in Americus. It is doubtful if a larger
funeral ever occurred in the state.
Such earnest solemnity ns pervaded all
that vast concourse is rarely seen.
At the grave the exercises were very
brief. Only ihe benediction was said
and the r<mains of the dead speaker
were lowered into the grave.
Night had fallen before the mound
above the buried statesman had been
rounded into form, and it was in the
deepening dusk that the wealth of
flowers was placed ou the grave.
In the gathering darkness the great
throng melted away, departing in that
thoughtful silence which the sorrow¬
ful event had impro sed upon all.
3Tr. Crisp’s'Career.
Charles Frederick Crisp, of Ameri-
cus, was born on the 29th of January,
1845, in Sheffield, England, where his
parents had gone on a visit; was
brought by them to this country the
year of his birth; received a common
school education in Savannah and Ma¬
con, Ga. ; entered the confederate
army in May, 1801; was a lieuten¬
ant in Company K, Tenth Vir¬
ginia infantry, and served with that
regiment until May 12, 1804, when he
became a prisoner of war; upon his
release from Fort Delaware in June,
1805, he joined his parents at Elia-
ville, Schley county, Ga. ; rend law in
Americus and was admitted to the bar
there in 1866; began the practice of
law in Ellaville, Gu.; in 1872 was ap¬
pointed solicitor general of the south¬
western judicial circuit, and was reap¬
pointed in 1873 for a term of four
years, located in Americus in 1873; in
June, 1877, was appointed judge of the
superior court of the same circuit; in
1878 was elected by the general assem¬
bly to same office; in 1880 was re-elect¬
ed judge for a term of four years; re¬
signed that office in September, 1882,
to accept the democratic nomination
for congress; was permanent president
of the democratic convention which
assembled in Atlanta in April, 1883,
to nominate a candidate for governor ;
was elected to the forty-eighth, forty-
ninth, fiftieth, fifty-first, fifty-second
and fifty-third congresses and re-elect¬
ed to the fifty-fourth congress as a
democrat, receiving 8,503 votes,
against 2,568 votes for George B.
White, populist; was elected speaker
of the house in the fifty-second and
fifty-third congresses.
HANNA CONDEMNS COERCION.
He Issues a Companion Proclamation
To that of Chairman Jones -
Chairman Hanna of the republican
national committee, has given to the
press the following announcement:
“The manifest policy of the silver
democratic managers in this campaign
as set forth by their candidate for
President shortly after his nomination,
has been to create the belief iu the
minds of the workingmen that they
were being coerced by their employers
to vote contrary to their convictions.
The chairman of their national com¬
mittee, the Hon. James K. Jones, has
emphasized this policy in a proclama¬
tion, in which he boldly charges the
employing classes of the country with
having entered into a conspiracy to
coerce their employees into voting con¬
trary to their opinions. This is a very
grave,charge, and it has now assumed
a form that justifies giving it some at¬
tention. To coerce a voter is a crime
against the laws of the land, and if
Messrs. Bryan aud Jones know of coer¬
cion they make themselves accomplices
of the criminals by not informing the
proper authorities und taking steps
for prosechtion. While we consider the
charge absurd, and believe that Amer¬
ican workingmen and employers are
too independent and patriotic either
to be coerced or to coerce, the Repub¬
lican national committeo will do any¬
thing in its power, to protect work¬
ingmen in the free and untrammelled
exercise of their rigats as citizens,
and will cheerfully unite with national
Democratic committee in any move¬
ment having that object in view. Co¬
ercion of voters i§ not only an
unameriean, unpatriotic and despotic
usurpation of the rights of a free
citizen, but it is a wrong that
will inevitably recoil upon its
perpetrators. It is an arbitrary use
of power that is in direct conflict with
the principles of rur government. The
civil compact of the majority rule means
free majorities, for whose protection
all constitutional powers should be
used, aud without which a political
victory would be barren of results
worthy of a great party. This com¬
mittee will spare no pains to secure to
every citizen, whatever his politics,
the right to cast his vote according to
his convictions, aud to have his vote
honestly counted.”
Populist Elector Resigns.
Captain J. H. Burnham, populist
elector at large from Tennessee, has
resigned. His resignation is embodied
in a two-column letter to Chairman
Buchanan, in which he accuses the
chairman of working to prevent fusion.
THE SENATORS!!!?
WILL HE THE SUBJECT OF A
LIVELY CONTEST.
The Death of Judge Crisp Causes
Complications Politically.
The death of Hon. Charles F. Crisp
has caused a great flurry in Georgia
politics. Had he lived he would have
been elcoled to the United States sen¬
ate to succeed General John B. Gor¬
don. His demise causes a complication
in affairs, and the contest for the seu-
atorship is already under way.
Governor Atkinson will be in the
race. Mr. Steve Clay will also run.
Captain Evan P. Howell is looking
over the field with a view of entering
the contest. lion. Pat Walsh is being
boomed by the Augusta Herald for the
senatorship.
General Clement A. Evans will be
put forward as the democratic candi¬
date for governor to succeed Atkinson
and iB also mentioned for the senate.
Mr. Kobert L. Berner, i/ he is elect¬
ed president of the senate, will be gov¬
ernor temporarily, if Governor Atkin¬
son is elected, and will in all probabil¬
ity enter the race for tbo unexpired
terra.
Ex-Treasurer Hardeman, who it has
understood would make the race for
governor two years hence, will in all
probability enter the race for the un¬
expired term.
The populists and republicans will
probably fuse and put out somo stroug
man. Mr. Watsom is most prominent¬
ly mentioned to make the race against
the democratic candidate.
This seems to be the political situa¬
tion to date as near as it can be deter¬
mined as a result of Mr. Crisp’s death,
and as a consequence party friends for
long- years will be seperated and old
political ties will bo broken.
The election of senater will occur on
Tuesday, November 11th.
An interesting question has arisen
as to what would be the effect ou the
political world in Georgia if Governor
Atkinson should bo elected senator.
The governor, Mr. Clay, Mr. Berner
and Colonel Hardeman have always
l.eeu the strongest political friends.
Whatever one has been interested in
the others supported. But, if the
present condition of things continue,
there will be some interesting compli¬
cations that will arise and old lines
will be obliterated before the end is in
sight.
The first split between the friends of
Governor Atkinson and Mr. Clay will
occur if they both enter the race for
the senate. If Captain Howell enters
this race he will draw some friends
from each of the gentlemen, but the
impression seems to prevail that he
will not be in the race when it comes
to the start.
The senator elected will not take his
seat until the 4th of March and the
governor, if ho should be the man,
would not have to vacate his present
office before that time. The law al¬
lows 60 days for au election after a va¬
cancy occurs.
When asked if he would be in the
race for the senate,Governor Atkinson
replied:
“I have no announcement of that
kind to make. I have just been elect¬
ed governor and have not yet been
inaugurated. I will say, however,that
I have an unusually heavy mail this
morning.”
“Suggesting you for senator?” he
was asked.
“Yes,” was the reply. “I have let¬
ters from all parts of the state urging
me to make the race and pledging me
support if I will consent to be a can¬
didate.”
flurry in whkat.
Frequent Breaks iu Prices Cause Con¬
sternation.
The wheat market was panic stricken
on the board of trade at Chicago Sat¬
urday. December wheat went to
pieces at a disastrously rapid rate.
The worst break iu the price occur¬
since the 80-ccnt high water mark
reached on Monday a week ago
traders were left floundering in a
state of bewilderment and confusion.

F. G. BOATRIGHT, Traffic Manager,
REV. JONES’ VIEWS.
On tte Present Scramble for tlie U. S.
Senatorship.
Rev. Sam Jones was asked by a
press representative what he thought
of the senatorial contest. He replied :
“If there is a disgusting sight in
this world it is to see a family of vag¬
abond children who have been pen¬
sioners on their father’s bounty and
whose principal vocation has seemed
to be waiting for their father to die so
they could pounce upon whatever was
left of his estate.
“When I read of the death of a wor¬
thy and noble man like Charles F. Crisp,
vacating the office of United States
senator, it disgusts me to see the little
vagabond politicians administering the'
estate before he is laid away. The
death of Mr. Crisp has thrown the
politicians of the state into a whirli¬
gig. Sure I am that the people of
Georgia would like a little time on
this subject, and if there is a choice?
between evils, certainly they, want the
lesser.
“In religion my creed is, as between
two evils, to take neither, but in poli¬
tics. I will take the lesser evil. Mag¬
nanimity and patriotism if they were
to speak out would as certainly give
the senatorial position to General
Evans as that effect follows cause.
He is worthy and well qualified. He
has been side-tracked and the main
line given to lesser lights and less
worthy ones already. jj,
"We certainly don’t want a pot pol¬
itician or pap sucker made United
States senator. That is a big job, and
Georgia will bo on exhibition at Wash¬
ington when she trots out her nag.
We do not want another gubernatorial
election, but if we must have it, some
of us don’t want the slate carried out.
If another gubernatorial election is
precipitated upon us the democrats
had better be careful whom they nom¬
inate, or they will find elections too
thiok for them.”
Carlisle at Owensboro.
An extremely complimentary recep¬
tion was given Secretary Carlisle by
the citizens of Owensboro, Ky., and
the crowd, composed of excursionists
from all over the Green river section,
througed the town Monday to hear
the secretary’s speech, which was de¬
livered at 3 o’clock p.m. The speak¬
ing was held in the great tabernacle,
