REMAINS LIE IN STATE AND VIEWED BY THOUSANDS NEWS OF HIS DEATH CAUSED A SHOCK OF SURPRISE AND UNIVERSAL SORROW. .aid To Rest In Oak Grove Cemetery J At Americus, Judge Crisp’s Home. Ex-Speaker Charles F.

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. fall of 4 cents made a dark, hopeless for the bulls to contemplate the day of rest. The week’s tumble iu the prices of speculative future has been over cents. The low point reached Sat¬ was 69 cents, aud the closing only three-fourths of a cent above Friday’s final quotation was PICKETT MAY DIE. Blood Poisoning Has Set in, and His ltccovery Is Despaired Of. The ccmditiou of Zeno Pickett, one of the policemen shot by old man White in the recent tragedy at Colum¬ bus, Ga., has taken a turn for the worse, and his life is now. despaired of. Blood poisoning has sot in, and in his weakened condition his chunces of recovery are very doubtful. If Pickett dies he will make thefifth victim of the shooting.

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, which has a seating capaoity of about 3.000. 1.00 A Tear.
