UNITE IN GEORGIA.
Governor Say* I*ropoel Merger of

Would Be Contrary to the Law of
the State—No Question at AH ns to
Seaboard and Southern Would

Which Constitution Forbids—ln
junction Would Be Sought by Gov
ernor to Stop Threatened Deal.
Atlanta, Aug. 29.—1f the rumored
merging of the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line and Louisville and Nashville
reaches a stage where a fulfilment
seems probable, Gov. Candler will take
a hand in the matter and use such
measures as may be in the power of
the state to prevent it, so far as Geor
gia is concerned.
He stated to-day that he had read
the accounts of the merger and con
sidered it clearly illegal and opposed
to the constitutional law' of the state.
•‘ln the case of the Southern and Sea
board,” said Gov. Candler, “the law
would be perfectly plain, I think. They
are clearly competitors, and a merger
or consolidation would mean a lessen
ing of competition, which the consti
tution expressly forbids.”
Gov. Candler said that if the merger
should be attempted in this state be
tween the roads, the only way to pro
ceed against the roads would be
through an injunction. Both roads are
operated under charters received in
other states, and it would not be pos
sible to proceed against them on the
grounds of forfeiting charter rights.
It is said the attorney general will
be asked regarding the laws of the
state that would govern the reported
merger.
FIGHTING AGAINST TRIAL
llalicna Corpus I sort to Prevent Rog
or* Return—Ruxert on Technicali
ties.
Boston, Aug. 29. —Judge Knowlton of
the Supreme Court to-day issued a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of
Munroe Rogers, the negro who is
wanted in North Carolina for arson,
and for whose extradition Gov. Crane
has signed papers. The writ was
made returnable forthwith and C. J.
Morgan, counsel for Rogers, has noti
fied the authorities of the decision of
the court under which Rogers is to
appear.
Rogers claims that he is unlawfully
unrestrained by R. W. Smith, keeper
of the look-up in Brockton, and N. E.
Leach, city marshal of that place. His
contention is based on technicalities.
At Brockton anew complication has
arisen through service upon Rogers of
a warrant sworn out by James White,
his brother-in-law, who claims that
Rogers is in debt to him and is about
to leave the state. The warrant was
served to-day. The' amount of the al
leged debt is S2O.
The papers place Rogers in custody
of City Marshal Leach. Under the ex
tradition proceedings the marshal had
orders to deliver Rogers to Officer
Crabtree of North Carolina.

COLOMBIA IS RED HOT.
Land and Naval Forces Will Back
Demand in Nicaragua— Nicaragua
Has Helped Rebels.
Washington, Aug. 29.—Colombia will
foimally demand of Nicaragua an ex
planation in regard to the latter coun
try's alleged pariticipation in the rev
olution against the Colombian govern
ment, and back up her demand with
the most formidable land and naval
force she can muster, as soon as the
present rebel activity on the isthmus
has been crushed. Information to this
effect was received from an authori
tative source in Washington to-day.
Ihis intelligence causes considerable
surprise in diplomatic circles, for but
a * e " weeks ago it was announced
that Mr. Concha, the Colombian min
ister, and Mr. Corea, the Nicaraguan
minister, had established an entente
cordiale between their respective gov
ernments.
The Colombian officials here, it is
stated, have received information that
arms and ammunition for the Colom
bian rebels on the isthmus were be
ing shipped from Corinto. The Colom
bian legation here had been receiving
reports of this character continually,
and in View of the arrangement effect
ed with the Nicaraguan minister be
fore he left Washington, Senor Concha
lost no time in calling Mr. Corea's at
tention to the matter.
The latter official replied that Presi
dent Zelaya would immediately insti
tute an investigation to ascertain if
the reports were well founded. A
short time ago, however, more reports
were received in Washington to the
effect that Nicaragua still continued
her material support of the revolution
ists on the isthmus, and now Colom
bia, it is said, finds her patience ex
hausted, and has decided to present a
formal demand for an explanation.
It is not anticipated that the affair
will lead to an actual war with Nica
ragua, but nevertheless Colombia is
making preparations to back up her
representations with a reinforced army
and navy.
ROMANCE OF BARTHOLIN.
Chicago Murderer Come* of Noble
Dniii*h House.
Chicago, Aug. 29.—According to in
formation unearthed here, William
Bartholin, wanted by the police in con
nection with the murder of his mother
and the disappearance of his sweet
heart, Minnie Mitchell, is a member
of the noble house of Bartholin-Eichel
of Denmark. It has also been discov
ered that he has a half-brother- —Fred-
erick Bartholin—at present living in
Chicago, prosperous and highly re
spected.
The house of Bartholin was founded
in 16S0, when Dr. Bartholin-Eichel was
made a baronet for distinguished ser
vices. Since then the house has stood
in the counsels of the Danish court, its
members occupying important posi
tions. The line descends without a
blot until half a century ago.
Casper Bartholin was and still is,
rtf the age of S2 years, the reigning
baronet, presiding over the lands, es
tates and castie of Astrup. His broth
er was William Peter Bartholin, who
became the father of the Will Bartho
lin, for whom the police of the country
are on the lookout. William Peter Bar
tholin married the Countess Gotthol
dine Grevencopp-Castenskjoll, of
Great Frederickslunds Castle. Two
sons were born—George, now editsr of
the Nationaltidende, the largest news
paper in Copenhagen; and Frederick,
who now lives in Chicago.
A German servant girl was taken
into the family and after a few years
of married life, Bartholin eloped to
America with one servant. The de
serted wife, after a few years, secured
a divorce and married Bishop Hans
Tornoe of Copenhagen, one of the dig
nitaries of the Lutheran Church.
Meanwhile, all did not go well with
the younger son. He served through
cut the Civil War, leaving the German
serving maid to her own devices. When
Ihe war was over, he returned to Chi
cago and married her, and in 1872
Will Bartholin, the present fugitive,
was born. After various vicissitudes
the father died at the soldiers’ home
at Milwaukee, Wis.

in this city shortly before 11 o’clock
to-night.

ciate, and a hotel bellboy, who had
been called in, were with him at the
time. He leaves a wife, who is now
at their home in Longview, Tex., to
whom a telegraphic notification was
sent. No plans have yet been made
lor the funeral.

view. Tex., and represented the Third
district of Texas in the 55th and 56th
Congresses and in the present, 57th

Tamaqua, Pa., Aug. 29.—1n an en
counter between troops and strikers
at Lansford to-day, Capt. W. H. Heim
of Company K, Twelfth Regiment,
was slightly injured. A half-dozen
strikers were bayonetted by the sol
diers as a result of the -fracas. Maj.
Gearhart, in command of the troops
here, states that he will appeal to the
military authorities to put the town
of Lansford under martial law.
The troops were active in quelling
disturbances and protecting non-union
men while on their way to work. As
has been the case for the past few
days, the troops were jeered wherever
they went. The officers repeatedly ad
monished the crowds not to insult or
molest the soldiers, but their words
had little effect.
At 5 o'clock Companies K and E
■were placed in two trolley cars. One
of the cars was run in front of the car
which carried the ‘non-union men to
work, and the other in the rear. While
passing through Coaldale and Lang
ford the soldiers were hooted, but as
no step was made the strikers did not
make any violent demonstration.
Held at Bay By Troop*.
At Summit Hill about double the
usual number of men availed them
selves of the protection of the soldiers,
and went to work. The pickets of the
strikers made efforts to stop them, but
the warnings of the soldiers held them
at bay. When the workmen had been
loaded on to the car, the return trip
through the valley commenced.
The word that more men than usual
were reporting for work spread through
the lower part of the valley like
w’ildflre, and in a short time the streets
were almost blocked with people.
When the corner of Center and East
Bertsch streets was reached the street
cars stopped to allow several non
union men to get off. As the men
stepped to the ground the mob made
a rush for them. A half-dozen soldiers
sprang off the car, and with leveled
guns forced the strikers back and made
a pathway for the non-union men.
When the soldiers returned, after es
corting their charges to a place of
safety, the mob commenced to close in
around the cars.
Heim Tailed to the Grofind.
The strikers were in an ugly mood,
and when ordered to disperse merely
yelled louder and pressed closer. As
Capt. Heim of Company K was about
to jump in the car he was seized
around the legs and thrown to the
ground. A half-dozen privates who
followed him were roughly handled.
One of the men had a portion of his
shirt torn off, and, according to the
soldiers, a number of blows were
struck.
Maj. Gearhart, who was in com
mand of the two companies, then or
dered his men to disembark. With
clubbed guns and fixed bayonets the
soldiers forced the crowd back. Many
of the strikers stood their ground and
would not move until the soldiers jab
bed them with their bayonets. Some
of the strikers, fearing that the troops
would fire, rushed into the opera house
on the corner, and for a time a wild
scene of confusion reigned.
In about five minutes the crowd had
been pushed back to the curb line.
In the melee several of the strikers
were knocked down, while others suf
fered slight bayonet wounds. Capt.
Heim was severely bruised by his fall.

Gold n Orders Troops to Fire on
Men Who Throw Stones.
Philadelphia, Aug. 29.—Having ex
hausted every other means for pre
serving the peace and in protecting
the non-union men from violence on
their xvay to and from the mines. Brig.
Gen. Gobin, in command of the troops
now In the coal fields, to-night issued
an order that the soldiers shajl shoot
any persons detected in throwing
stones or other missiles, and that if
any mob resist the authority of the
troops, they shall freely use their bay
onets and butts.
The Panther Creek valley has been
in almost continual turmoil this week,
and the troops stationed there have
had a difficult time in protecting the
lives of workmen. To-night the situ
ation in that valley has Improved con
siderably, and it is hoped by the mil
itary authorities that the lawlessness
and abusive language directed toward
the soldiers will now cease. The other
sections of the coal region are com
paratively quiet.
The general strike situation remains
unchanged. There is some coal be
ing shipped, but the quantity is so
small compared with the normal ship
ment that it has little or no effect
on the market. The fuel now coming
to market is principally washery and
loose coal.
TROUBLE WAS THREATENED.
Rnl Nothing 1 nnu* of llrnionslrallon
at Dorrance Mine.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 29.—Serious
trouble was threatened at the Prospect
and Dorrance mines of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company to-day. The
strikers heard a rumor last night that
the rompany intended to concentrate
all its employes at the various mines
fpto one working force and operate the
Dorrance colliery.
It is said Ho company has, alt told,
ebout t'M expetier.ced men in ita we
pioy. If ibis number < ould be plaoe i
in one colliery like the Dorrance. the
mining of coal could go on without dif
ficulty. The strikers are determined to
frustrate the plans of the company if
possible, and it is Claimed that over
a thousand men turned out and pa
trolled the roads leading to the mines.
The officials of the company recog
nized the serious condition of affairs
and Sheriff Jacobs was routed out of
bed at an early hour. He went to the
scene, accompanied by a large number
of deputies, but no attempt was made
to place any additional men in the
Dorrance mine and the strikers made
no demonstration, many of them with
drawing to their homes.
TO OBEY SHERIFF’S ORDERS.
But Not to Heed Coal Operator*' di
rection*.
Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 29. —When
the state troops reached Thurmpnd to
preserve order and protect property in
the mine region a request was made of
Assistant Adjt. Gen. Hutson, in com
mand, to report to the operators at
Rush Run for instructions.
He refused point blank and said he
was there with troops to act under
instructions from the sheriff of the
county to preserve order and not to
take instructions from operators.
Sheriff Daniel then took three com
panies and the signal crops to Rush
Run to guard, the public roads and
protect life. The remainder of the
troops bivouacked at Thurmond. No
outbreak of any kind occurred to-day.
The Governor’s private secretary,
Gen. Boggs, reported to the Governor
at noon that the utmost quiet is pre
vailing, but he confirms the necessity
for troops on the ground. The entire
strength of the regiment now at Thur
mond is not quite 300. It would be en
tirely inadequate in case of violence.
The output in the New River field yes
terday was 3,800 tons, about one
tenth of the usual amount.
Gov. White to-night received a pe
tition from citizens of Thurmond de
claring that there had been no neces
sity for sending militia there, and
asking that the troops be withdrawn
at once. The Governor declared he
had investigated the matter very thor
oughly before acting; that under the
circumstances as reported to him he
could not do otherwise than as he did.
He said he would not remove them un
till satisfied that all necessity for
their presence was past.

S MYTHIS l 5 RESIDENT.
Charleston Mayor President of
League of Municipalities.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 29.—Tht
final sessions of the convention of the
American League of Municipalities to
day were the busiest. Important papers
and discussions, elections and inci
dental business took up the time of
the delegates. At the afternoon session
J. Adger Smyth of Charleston, S. C.,
was elected president.
Mayor J. M. Head of Nashville was
elected one of the vice presidents;
Thomas P. Taylor, Bridgeport, Conn.,
treasurer, and John M. Mac Vicar,
Des Moines, secretary.
City Engineer B. F. Endell of Bal
timore, suggested that the league take
action to secure a combination among
the cities of the United States against
the asphalt monopoly. The plan he
proposed was to have the cities fix by
ordinance the maximum price to be
paid for sheet asphalt.
Mayor Ignatius A. Sullivan of Hart
ford, Conn., advocated municipal own
ership of public utilities, especially the
street railways, as a means of reducing
taxation.
TO STOP THE BIG MILL.
Open Letter Addressed to Henry
NYatterson of Louisville.
New Haven, Conn., Aug. 29.—An
open letter in regard to the proposed
contest at Louisville. Ky., between
Terry McGovern and "Young Corbett”
was sent to-day to Col. Henry Wat
terson of Louisville by S. P. Thrasher
of this city, secretary of the Law and
Order League of Connecticut.
The letter suggests that Louisville
should not be regarded as a “dump
ing place for pugilists when shut out
from New York, St. Louis or New
London.” and that it would seem to
be feasible for some kind of an anti
prize fight movement to be inaugurated
in Louisville. The letter says:
"If the people of Louisville want a
prize fight, they should understand
that they are to be treated to the real
article on Sept. 22. I think I know,
from your writings, that you are op
posed to hypocrisy of this kind.”

PRESIDENT SHOT A HOAR.
Entertained at Newport in Mnlne to
Hl* I,iking Smiled to Enjoy
Drenching.
Newport, N. H., Aug. 29. —President
Roosevelt was to-day entertained in a
manner to his liking. Instead of mak
ing numerous addresses, meeting com
mittees and indulging in hand-shak
ir.g, he plunged into the forest of the
Corbin preserve in the Croyden moun
tain region and hunted big game, and
Just before dark succeeded in shooting
a boar. In a few remarks preliminary
to his talk here, he had disclaimed any
intention to go hunting, but Senator
Proctor, who is a good shot, induced
him to alter his determination.
The President arrived shortly after
10 o'clock this forenoon, and after be
ing driven through the principal
streets, delivered a short address in
the public square. The town had an
uir of expectancy, since the President's
coming had been looked up as the most
notable event in its history. No soon
er had he concluded his address than
rain began falling, and the President
and those of his party got a thorough
drenching. The President refused all
offers of umbrellas, saying that his
mackintosh would be sufficient to pro
tect him.
The arrangements included a visit to
the Corbin home, where Mrs. Corbin,
widow of Austin Corbin, received the
President. After a short stay the long
procession of carriages moved over to
the home of G. S. Edgill, Who, with
Mrs. Edgill, entertained the party at
luncheon.
The President was given an hour's
start ahead of his party in order that
he might visit the clubhouse
and don a hunting costume.
Several times the party caught up
with him, and finally he and Senator
Proctor entered the woods and became
lost to view. Darkness was coming
on when the party returned here, and
soon after their arrival Secretary Cor
telyou telephoned in that the Presi
dent had shot a boar.
Upon their return from the woods
they will spend the night at the club
house, and it is not improbable that
the President will again try for large
game early in the morning.
In his Newport speech the President
said:
“You can frame laws and have a
good constitution, and after all has
been done that you can do in that
way you have accomplished simply the
creating of conditions which render it
possible to have good citizenship. The
good citizenship has to come from
the people themselves.
“1 think we would be a little better
off and would know better what we
can do and what we can't do In na
tional matters if we would each of
us think what can be done and what
cannot be done in local matters. Aii
that can be done by government is to
create the condition under which man
shall be given justice, shall be guard
ed against injustice, and shall be left
to work out his fate according to the
stuff that is in him.”

viewport, N. H., Aug. 29.—Secretary
Oortelyou announced to-day that the

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 29.—The official
returns from the Democratic primary
held Tuesday to nominate a United
States senator and all state officers,
were tabulated to-day and the result
declared by the State Executive Com
mittee, which met here to-night.
Of the six candidates for Senator J.
1.. McLaurln's place, none received a
majority, and the two highest. Con
gressman Asbury C. Latimer and ex-
Gov. John Gary Evans, will be voted
for Sept. 9. Mr. Latimer has a lead of
9,000 votes on Evans, but their chances
are considered even.
In the gubernatorial race the candi
dates in the second primary will be
I). C. Heyward of Colleton, and Con
gressman W. Jasper Talbert of Edge
field. M. F. Ansel of Greenville was
only a few hundred votes behind Tal
bert, and owing to an error it was sent
out last night from Charleston that

rival of Officer.
Folkston, Ga., Aug. 29.—Mannie
Price, alias Mannie Austin, wanted in
Florida for the murder of William
Bronson, was captured here yesterday
afternoon and is now held for the ar
rival of an officer from the county in
which the murder was committed.
The arrest of the negro desperado
was effected by B. O. McDonald, H.
S. Mattox and C. L. Mattox, all of
whom know Price well, and who en
tertain no doubt whatever they have
the right man. They expect to receive
the reward of $650, that has been offer
ed by the mining company, of which
Mr. Bronson was superintendent, for
the arrest of the negro.
This section is Price's old home and
immediately after the killing, which
was done on the early morning of Aug.
17, he left Kokomo and started for
Folkston. Though hotly pursued by
angry and vengeful citizens of the lit
tle place where the brutal homicide
was committed, Price managed to
make good his escape, and reach the
abode of his friends. Here he has
been hiding ever since.
The men who subsequently made the
arrest learned of his presence in the
neighborhood, and arrangements were
carefully and secretly perfected to
take him into custody. These were car
ried out without a hitch, and he is
now in jail awaiting the arrival of an
officer and a requisition.

Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 29.—Goley
Tyus, murderer of Town Marshal Hen
ry Godwin, of Cairo, and of his
brother, Jeff Godwin, was captured
here to-day and is in jail.
Learning that Tyus was lying con
cealed in a house at the corner of
Bridge and Missouri streets in Bur
bridge's addition, six policemen sur
rounded the place this afternoon, and
captured the desperado, who had no
chance to make resistance.
The famous blue steel revolver re
sponsible for the deadly work at Cairo
was in Tyus' roach as he lay in bed,
hut he had no chance to seize it. The
policemen climbed in the window and
broke open the door.
Tyus submitted quietly and admit
ted to the officers that he was wanted
at Cairo. He admits that he shot Jeff
Godwin but says he Is innocent of kill
ing the town marshal. Tyus has a
brother here and his whereabouts were
learned by accident from him.
Tyus says he fled to Wayeross,
where he has relatives, from there to
Callahan and then to Jacksonville.
Sheriff Hight, of Thomas county,
when notified of the capture wired
back to have the prisoner sent on
with a Jacksonville officer, but the
local authorities prefer to make some
other arrangement, not knowing the
state of rubllc feeling at Cairo, and
fearing that some violence might be
attempted on the prisoner before he
reached jail.
DECENCY DEMANDS QUIET.
Federal Officeholders Must Not
Gnitle Pol 11 left I Machines.
Washington, Aug. 29.—Acting Presi
dent Foulke of the Civil Service Com
mission has addressed a communica
tion to all the executive departments
in regard to the part office-holders may
take in politics. Attention is called
to an order issued by President Cleve
land containing the following;
“The Influence of federal office-hold
ers should not be felt in the manipu
lation of political primary meetings
and nominating conventions. The use
by these officials of their positions
to compass their selection as delegates
to political conventions is indecent and
unfair, and proper regard lor
the proprieties and requirements of
official place will also prevent their
assuming the active conduct of politi
cal campaigns.”
The communication states that this
order has never been repealed, but has
been declared by President Roosevelt
to be still in force. In construing it,
however, there is a distinction, Mr.
Foulke says, to be made between offi
cers or employes who are In the classi
fied service and those who are not.
The man in the classified service,
while retaining his right to vote as
he pleases and to express privately his
opinion on all political subjects, should
not take an active part in political
management or political campaigns,
for the same reason that a Judge or
an army officer is debarred from tak
ing such part.
In regard to those who are not in
the classified service, the communica
tion says the limitations are pot so
strict, but even in this case officehold
ers must not use their offices to con
trol political movements or coerce the
political actions of employes.
