PaoviDKKCls, K. I., December 1.—Unable to
bear the attain sny longer, “Doe" Wilson, this
morning, broken down In health, anil woeping
like a child, told the great secret which h»« es-
istfd between him and P. L. Noon, of Worces
ter for so msec count. The .tory W.IS told In
tho presence of four reputablo cltlrens, who
hive furnished it to tho press.
“I am looked on as s blackmailer," ho mill,
"and those who belters I here been bleeding
tbst old man, bold me In as much contempt ns
yellow dog. but 1 will stand It no longer, I era
mote i-Inned against than alnning, suit now thu
truth shall be known.
■ ‘‘My namo la not Wllaon, nor am I a son of
Jonas Wilson. My fotlier Is the man who la
accusing me of blackmail, and my nttmo U Levi
Sfoeu, tho lawful son of P. I.. Moon, of Worces
ter."
■ then went on to tell tho story of his
■* and the wrong done him by hU father.
Ills ct,try la that he la a aon of Moon'a
first wife, and that ho waa
bom » few montha after marriago
Moon beings deacon and, professodly, a high-
toned Christian, did not wlah to faro tho scan
dal of auoh an early birth for his first-born, so
n bargain wss made with ono Jonas Wilson, of
luoit l-onvllle. Conn., a stage driver, tho babe
Wits transferred to the latter'a care, and brought
up as Wilson. The ho/ lived sml tolled to Hie
humble sphere to which, ho says,
Meen consigned him, and It was not until he
was a young man, grown up, that ho learned
tht secret of his blrtj. Far that secret ho w>s
indebted to . the religious remorse of his sup-
posed father, Jonas Wilson, who, being on li s
death-bed, and nut earing to paai tho parts!*
with n butdt u on bis soul, drew the lad tow ml
him ami told him who ho waa. After Witten
died, tho young fellow set off for Worcester to
meet lila father face to face. Their first m »t-
■jug. Wilson says, was exactly as has bom do-
. scribed, lie did meot Moon on that particular
morning, aud sflor observing tho signs of
w ealth and luxury that abounded, ho demand
ed of Moon some reparation for tho wrong done
to one who should lie heir to all. Moon at first
refused to acknowledge tho hut. and would
have driven him forth, but tho boy faced his
millionaire intent defiantly, nnd upbraiding
him for the wrong done his mother and him-
self, ha said:
"1 will force you to acknowledge mo. and
the world shall knuw you for what vou are."
Then, Doc says, tho broker deacon liecame
alatimsl and gave hint f ICO. Ily appointment
in n.t t Mueu the next day anti consented to
ablest Ids unnatural fattier from aliamo. The
fotlier land in the meantime married again, af-
terthediaih of “Doe'a" matter, an t had tu»--
ried Into a family which would hive acorn .1
Mis ii had they known of tho
scandal. Then, nccorJIng to Wilson's
ttoty, the Wilsons, who knew tho secret of Ills
rsmutagts seeing “Doc" had money, and know
ing it came from Moon, began to urge claim t on
lilm. Their demands Increased nnd to artlsfy
thdn be bad to apply to Moon for money au l
In that way much of tho aum received
from tho banker was snent and Wtlnoii My.
that tbuhe demands un him grew no exorbitant
that be was almost impoverished by them.
The Engley suits ware nettled, ho utd, at
Moca's augpialioti, mid with Moon's money, bo-
cauao the Utter feared his relationship to Wil
son would come nut some way In the trial.
Wilson baa letten, which, be soya, were
written by Moon, acknowledging the relation-
ih!p and railing him "Dear don." These letten
Wliron prisloced today. Ila says ha la the In
jured one, as. Instead of being reared as a gen
tleman aud brought up amid tho luxury which
bla tattler's wealth could purchase he wot cast
adrift and reared as a peasant boy without edu
cation aud without any of the refinements of
life which wuutd have been hit bad Ids cruel
rsuvnt done right. Wilson says ho ran no
longer endure the rahtmlUni with which ho is
Mrailcsl, and that his cunfeaslon of the secret U
true In every rot pec t.
nor!* ixraaviewxn.
IVolcmn, Maas., December 1.—The an
neunrement from Providence this evening tied
Doc Wllnon bad llftnl the veil from the greet
Meen mystery caused a great arnsition. Tho
bulletin boards were so reminded far
Into the Bight by erosvda who drank
In tho brief- sketch in open-mouthed
Vender. The millionaire manufacturer
was at a prayer meeting when the announce
ment reached this city, and reporters gathered
at the doot of the Union church to waylay
hhuabrn be came forth. One of them ahow.d
M* in a copy of a Providence paper containing
tbe iteiy. and proceeded to interview him on
the subject, hut he would say nothing aside
from the statement that "Doe’s" story was a lie.
With difficulty be escaped the reporters and
E ceded to his reeMenre. Keporters called on
I there at 9 o'clock, tile son, Phil, came to
tho door with Uiiu, for ho never goes to tbe
door alone. He was cool and collected, aa though
bo had been railed to the deer on badness
of the simpicet kind. When asked about the
Maiciiicut made by Wllaon today, that ho was
hla father. Mot b said:
"It la a lie-a downright He."
Vie then said:
“My ts uoa.d lias adviced me not to talk with

aoioiint.nftcr reflection, to tell what she knows
about “Doc" Wilson’s parentage. Her story is
decidedly to the point, and completely contra
dicts the story of Wilson, that ho is a son of
Phillip L. Mocn. 8he was at homo, in North
Oxford, when Levi was bum, and sho had
wiiti hul him grow up os an infant, and through
hi Id hood. lie was tho son of her own parents,
without any qiv*tion. He was namul
after her unde, Levi Fessenden.
Her father died at Qnaddock, Conn., and she
nuswith him all through his illness. Levi was
aho living at home. There never was aiy
di ath hed confession by her father, ns state:! by

rich, hut ho never explained it to her. 8he hid
•ereived gifts from him, hut only in a brotherly
way.

of tetitor to Publisher.
An interesting »tor>* is told about Henry
Wattenon’» connection with the Cincinnati Time*,
which during war tlmos and Just afterward,
prided Itself on being the moat extreme union
pat-er In the west.
One day In W*|, so the story goes, Wattenon went
tbrouah the lines and to t'lnrinnnti, on business
connected with a cotton claim. Uc also went to
the ether of the Cinctunat! Times.
Mr. FianrUro, the bust new manager, was sitting
at hia desk In the counting room, on Third afreet,
when a mediumslsvd gentleman stepped up to tho
counter and asked to are the business manager.
He was dressed in s suit of rebel gray, with cavalry
Jacket that waa'decidedly the worse for wear, boing
out at the elbows, and had a close observer noticed
the northern portion m he went south, a flag of
truce could have tweu seen, lie was as browa os

that time. Substantially the (bllowtng convena-

“1 would like to speak to the badness manager.
If he Is In."
“I am tho person you are Inquiring far." replied
Mr. Franchco; “what can I do for you?"
“I w as Informed that you wanted an editor, and
1 would like to have the position."

THE MARBLE INVESTIGATION.
Testimony CJlveu In Itefore the Committee
of the Legislature.
"Mr. BLsancr rece ntly called upon me for sixty
dol.ars, and said if he couldn’t get the money
he would have to go to the chaingang. As I
understood Ins trouble he had been indicted for
Using obscene language ia the presence of a ft-
liislc, Itul pleaded guilty, and was fined by
.1 ml; •• Brown sixty dolhtn. I did nbt givj him
the money.
i never told Moaner that I carried $I,W3 to
fienetsl Phillips'* room the night on which f
landed him the roll of money heretofore tevti-
f.vd lo. 1 never told him. or consul ted with him
eheut any payment to Judge Phillip*.
'Ihis ease was first filed before Judge Brown,
who affirmed that he was disqualified, and it
was then carried before Judge Fain. When I
• r.mc to file my recent bill to enjoin the state
tics Mirer from surrendering tho bonds of tho
Msriettn and North Georgia railroad I did no;
know that Judge Brown's disabilities had been
terroved, and 1 submitted the hill before Jud'fe
Fain beeauFe he was the judge before whom the
other case had been carried when Judgo Brown
was disqualified.
Quiwtloncd by Judge Fain—"Did you
not have in the bill aiking
a temporary restraining order aj*.tin*t
the state treasurer an aaidavit that Judge
Brown was disqualified/"
Mr. Harrison—I did, and I thought ho was.
Judge Fain—Did I not tell you I was
vety busy, nnd wished you had carried it be
foie some other judge/’’
Mr. Harrison—You did,
Judge Fain—Did you ever see mo present be
fore the sub-committee, or at meetings in the
sgricultural department or in n room at the
National hotel, or at anv other place ever have
consultations with mo about changing the ma
terial for the eapitol, or over j»ay mo a dollar,
or offer me a dollar or any one for mo?"
Mr. Harrison—1 never did.
M r. Lager was sworn. Ho said that h is namo
was George B. Kugor, And that he was the con
tractor for the building of tho Marietta and
North Georgia railroad.
He waa in Atlanta much of the time during
the fall session of the last legislature, and saw
Genetal PhiHips here quite often. He
could not remember of having
m in General Phillips talking to any one. He
knew of no monoy having been paid out in the
interest of the marble movement further than
w Imt waa stated in Mr. Bisuner'a card, uud tne
statement of Biaanor, w«th reference to the
money transaction was all that he over heard.
Of his own knowlenge he knew of no one who
had received money to operate upon in indue-
limestone to Georgia iflnrblo. He could
not remember of having
Judge Fain in Atlanta during
full term of the last session. He did not then
know him. All that he know about tho pa<
incut of any money was what ho had scon i
tho papers. Tbe writ ho testified was served
upon him about the 2?Jd of October, and tho
care waa aet for November 8th.
Upon being cross-examined, the witness said
that during the Umo that various
suits were being brought agiinst
tho road, Railroad Commisdoner
1 iMUimcl cuitcd upon him and stated tnut if he
would buy out General Phillips's interest in tho
rond, amounting to $5,000. the continued Imr-
lursing would cease and that the road would in
addition get the good will of General Phillips.
i olonel Trammell thought that Phillips's good
w ill w ould amount to n good deni. Wo did not
look at it that way, but for tho sako of pooeo
bought out General Phillips’s interest. The
Mi rk the witness did not think waa worth any
thing. Neither was his influence or g >od will.
Tho money was paid in tho inter-
of yoaoe only. Tho poison u
whom 1 referred in ruy interview a* tailing
0) on me nt tho Kimball, wiklng me up anil
of ering to stop tho Harrison suit for $»0,OHJ,
was Mr. K. C. Machon, of New York. He was
the same person who p/obahly an hour later
again woke me up to m ike mo an offer to sot-
tlo for $6,(00. In bjth Instances he told
M chcn that lie would nut give ad—d cent.
Ili the interview whon ho stated that he gave
a state eff'cial $500 for a $1,000 bond of the
r my ho did not mean either Fain, Rankin
srrUon. The $1,000 lumd was given by
bin through his attornoy, Mr. Hoke Hmitli, and
tbe payment of the $600 for U was nivdo
through Mr. Rmlth also.
Mr. Hammond aaked the witness if when he
came to Atlanta from Boston ho was not under
Indictment for the commitment of some crime.
Mr. Hammond then read an indictment
charging Abner J. Binion, president
or Uto Pacific B inking company; Klwiu
at. Kw.ur and Ooorgo K. Eager
with misa) propriaiing to their own use $18,000
of the funds of the hank. The indictment w.is
dated in 1HH2, alter he had givon up hia real-
idt nce in Host* n.
Mr. Eager said that he did not deny that he
was indicted, hut that he was not under indict
ment win n he came to Georgia. Witness also
rend a nit if ca'e signed by a number of promi-
ii;« nt citizens of Boston stating that he had
lot n frilly exhonomted upon an investigation
of the charges against him.
Mr. Bankin asked Mr. Eager tf he had the
U Inal affidavit of Biaanor in his possession.
He mid that ho had.
He was then asked by Mr. Rankin if he
1 old put the original affidavit iu the hands of
the n mailt tee ns evidence.
Mr. Eager—I will do so If my counsel, Mr.
Smith, advises nie to do so.
The witness, ujHin being again examined by
the committee, testified that the bond w.is
given to Colonel Trammell for his services in
nuikiug a settlement with General Phillips.

The State Rood Lease.
A correspondent oaks ua to give h'm, M
fully aa jassible, the profits or lore of the State
ro:-d lease to the leasees.
r J he original It^sscca mad© money oat of tbo
leaf©. Tier© were twenty-fivo aha.es which
cot-toothing. ‘Shortly after th© lease wa* or
ganized, H“,000 of income bonds were issued to
each share. It was intended that these boQdf
should uke tho place of dividends. The inter
est, eight per cent, should be paid on them an
nually, and they should be retired, so many
every year. Besides the interest on the
income bonds and the sinking fund for
tho retirement of tlio bonds, each
shareholder has drawn two cash dividends of
$5,GC0 each. Fix years ago the LouUviile uni
Nashville road aud the Georgia Central road
were figbtlug for control of tbo lease. The
original lessees sold out at about $85,000 a share.
So rath shareholder who held until that time
received $40,000 income bonds, $10,000 cash divi
dends and $65,000 for hfs share. To this mush
be added eight per cent interest on hia inooraa
bonds as long as ho held them. Home of them
art atill out, bat all trill he retired next year
It Is fair to say that each share hi thn
lease paid $125,000 to the original
shareholders who held until all sold out.
The road has paid no dividends to tho pres
ent shareholders, and will not pay any Tar
Georgia Central and the Louisville and Nash,
ville paid over one million dollars for their
shares. The Georgia Central shares, it ia an-
di iMood have gone into tho Moses Taylor os-
Me. T ho Louisville and Nashville still holdg

more than enough money now to pay tho in-
tinf>t mi its outstanding Income bonds, and
provide sufficient sinkiug fund to retire these
bonds with the expiration of the leaao. The
men who paid $65,000 a share for tho lease sis
years ago, have been out tho interest on their
