be tried. The case, however, that created
the greatest interest was that against the
Murray county whitecappers. Six were in
dieted for whipping William Nailor two
years ago, and some of the most prominent
citizens of the adjoining county of Murray
were involved. Bill Dobbins was tried at
the regular term of the court in October.
John Wilson was put on trial yesterday and
today the jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Wilson was represented by Messrs. Jones
and Martin, of Dalton; Hon. A. S. Clay, of
Marietta, and the entire local bar. Solic
itor General George ii. Brown represented
the state.
Wh'-n the means and Influence of the de
fendants and their friends are taken into
consideration the conviction of Wilson is
regarded as one of the greatest legal vic
tories in the history of Gilmer couniy, or,
indeed. In this entire section. The defense
left no stone unturned to obtain an acquit
tal. Mr. Brown made the concluding argu
ment and hfi'- spce<h is being complimented
by all. it was probably one of the closest,
most masterful and powerful arguments
ever delivered ill tins court. The convic
tion of the defendant is largely attributable
to his able management of t’le case. Grice
end Wilson were each sentenced to pay a
line of fi.'Ki) <»r .-erve twelve months in the
chaingang. The law abiding peo|de of this
co.mty were never more unanimous in their
endorsement of Judge Gober’s utlieial con
duct than they are in his efforts to sup
press lawlessness of this character. A few
more convictions and sentences of this sort
will forever etui whitecapiiing in north
Georgia.

NEAR HER HOME.
1 The Exciting F.scnpe of a Voting Lady from
11 Negro* a Ciulche*.
At 6 o’clock Thursday afternoon a dos
I pirt-ic negr i made a bold attempt to as
’ sault Miss Dot tie Haybach mar the resi
| d •:.< eof her ather, 4M West Simpson
street. ’I le screams of tile young lady and
tho prompt. ap|n-ar.inec of her brother,
j frightened the brute away and a long
* hunt with trained blood hounds failed to
: find him.
Miss Haybach Is employed in the mil
i 1 ::eiy deput timtu al High’s. She had iin-
I ished h« r work yesterday afternoon and
• was returning home, it is some distance
■ from th.* ear line to tl.e house an! it was
necessary for her to pass through a se
• eluded section cf the street. The darkness
; was inteusitied by the rain which had just
begun to fall. While passing a vacant lot
a large negro sprang out and grabbed her
fiercely aixtut the throat with one hand
while an open razor was in the other.
“Make any noise,” -he said, "and I’ll cut
your throat.”
Miss Haybach was terribly frightened
1 but •!.d not 1 ■ • her presence of mind. She
pushed both list ■■ quickly in the negro’s face
! an-1 screamed iuudly.
1 1 -rtunately her brother and Mr. John
j Connolly were stand.ng in the uo >r,*.‘ay of
, her hvine, not ntty yards away. They ran
j al once to the place, and hearing their
aiproach. the negro hastily departed.
A teh phone message to police heaitquar
| te.s gave the alarm, and Call Officers
\\ imiley and Geavers responded. They
were followed in a few moments by Ser
: geant White, who carried with him a
p.i’ k of trained hounds.
They t<>ok track immediately and led of
across Hie vacant lot down Simpson street.
For half an hour the dogs gave a lively
. chase, going through several yards, show*
, ing that the negro was making a hasty
(light. The chase was kept up for half an
1 hour, but striking the railroad, the track
was lost. A freight train had just passed
and it was thought that (he negro boarded
this and escaped. The attempt created wild
excitement tn the neighborhood and a
large crowd followed the dogs in the chase.

He halfway gallops among the graves—
A tiny ghost in the gloom and gleam,
Content to dwell where the dead men
dream.
But wary still:
For they plot him ill:
For the graveyard rabbit hath a charm
(May God defend us!) to shield from harm!
Over the shimmering slabs he goes—
Every grave in th'* dark he knows;
But his n* st is hidden from human eye
Where h* adstones broken on old graves lie.
Wary still!
For they plot him ill:
For the graveyard rabbit, though
scoff,
Charmeth the witch and the wizard off!
The black man creeps, when the night is
dim,
Fearful, still, on the track of him;
Or fleetly follows the way he runs,
For he heals the hurts of the conjured
ones.
Wary still!
For they plot him ill;
The soul's bewitched, that would find re
lease.
To the graveyard rabbit go for peace!
He holds their secret—he brings a boon
Where winds moan wild in the dark o' the
moon;
And gold shall glitter and love smile sweet
To whoever shall sever his furry feet!
Wary still!
For they plot hitn ill:
For the graveyard rabbit hath a charm
(May God defend us') to shield from harm!

NEGROES MEET IX XI'.W ORLEANS.
I'rnyers Offered for Guidance and
HloKSillgM.
New Orleans, La., November B.—On ac
count of the* labor troubles brought about
by the white laborers in an effort to get
rid of the colored laborer a.s a competitor
an evangeligal alliance meeting was held
today at the Wesley chapel of the Methodist
church, attended by fifty ministers and 1.500
people, and prayers were offered for guid
ance, blessings and protection and the fol
lowing adopted:
“At a time when the peace, prosperity
anfi even the very life, commercially speak
ing, of a great city like New Orleans
is endangered by the ruthless hand of the
murderer, outlaw, assassin and incendiary
torch; when the blood of half a score of
defenseless, law -abiding citizens, in the per
sons of J. Gordon Taylor. James Yates,
Henry Washington, John Williams, Philip
Johnson, Randolph Blackburn, Andrew
Holmes, Henry Carey and others, who have
been slaughtered in cold blood or wounded
nigh unto death by mob violence in the
open day and in the presence of those
whose duty it is to protect the defenseless
and preserve the peace of the city; when
the blood of these men is calling aloud for
redress at the hand of inured justice and
outraged law; when the only plea thus far
given or even hinted by these misguided
violators of the peace and perpetrators of
these atrocities is the fact that those
against whom these great outrages are per
petrated are negroes and are incapable of
resentment or redress; when the represen-
tatives of civil government, municipal and
gubernatorial, seem to act with a measure
of indifference to such affairs, may it not
well be said, as in days of primitive
Christian experience: 'Lord, unto whom
shall we go?’ But the answer is close at
hand: There is one unto whom we may go,
and it is unto Him, of whom the disciples
said: 'Thou art words of eternal life.’
Unto Him, therefore, have we come this
day, for guidance, blessing and protection.”
M. J. banders, agent of the West India
line, a British subject, tonight obtained
from Judge Pardee, in the United States
court, an injunction restraining the white
screwmen and longshoresmen from inter
fering with his loading his ships by colored
labor. Tins is an outcome of the existing
troubles. The cotton exchange and other
bodies endeavored to keep the matter from
going as far as the federal government,
but Mr. Sanders refused to delay longer,
claiming that the local protection accorded
was notoriously insufficient.
Power, purity and wholesomeness, the
principal oualities of a superior baking
powder are found superlatively excellent in
Dr. Price's.
TRAGEDY AT~ LEXINGTON'.
A Breckinridge Man Stubs to Death an
Owens Supporter.
Lexington, Ky., November B.—A bloody
political tragedy occurred in Lexington this
afternoon at 5 o’clock when John Traynor,
marshal of Athens, Ky., cut Lew Sharpe,
probably fatally, and shot ike Davidson to
death. Sharpe and Traynor were both dem
ocrats, Sharpe being an Owens man and
Traynor a Breckinridge supporter. They
met in front of the Leland hotel. Sharpe
accused Traynor ot having voted for Denny,
the republican. Traynor denied it, when
Sharpe called him a damned liar.
Traynor struck Sharpe, who is badly crip
pled, as the result of having been shot in
the knee during the war. The blow kn /ek
ed Sharpe to the sidewalk, and before he
could get up Traynor drew a knife and be
gan cutting the old soldier. Pat Toomey, a
young friend of Sharpe's, rushed to his as
sistance and knocked Traynor down. Ike
Davidson rushed in and tried to separate
the men. Traynor scrambled to his feet
and, apparently trying to get away, went
down the street with two pistols in his
hands. The marshal turned and tired, the
bullet striking Davidson in the stomach.
He died in an hour. Sharpe was taken to
the hospital, where he is suffering greatly
and it is more than likely he will die. Tray
nor was locked up.
Davidson was a well-known distiller. The
origin of the bad feeling between the men
dates back some time. On election day
John Green, who was Marshal Traynor’s
deputy, shot and fatally wounded George
Toomey, a brother of the man who took
part in today’s affray.
Pat Toomey, Sharpe and Davidson came
to town this afternoon to have Traynor
arrested as an accessory to the shooting of
Toomey, as the latter is likely to die before
morning. Traynor had been arrested and
released on bond when Sharpe met him in
front of the hotil.
There is already a great deal of bad blood
between the Owens and Breckinridge men
here, arid it is feared that this will not be
the last of the trouble. Green, who shot
Toomey, was a Breckinridge man and
Toomey an < *w< t;s follower. Sharpe is close
ly related to Stephen G. Sharpe, .ex-treas
urer of Kentucky.

An executive meeting is now being held
by them, which is usual in advance of the
convention. The executive committee is
called in session only to anticipate such
business as will probably come before the
convention, which is done for the purpose
of facilitating the transaction of business
before that body when it assembles.
A great many members of the local or
ganization called at the hotel this morning
to pay their respects to Grandmaster
Workman Sovereign, but he was so busily
eiigag’ I with committee work that it was
impossible for him to entertain any of
them.
In r- snonse to questions Mr. Sovereign
said:
“There is absolutely nothing of any im
portance to tell the press. In fact I hardly
know, as yet, what matters are likely to
come up before the committee, having
seen none of the papers or reports that
will be acted upon. Beyond a Tew meetings
of advance committees, whose sessions
will, of course, be private, no business will
be transacted until Tuesday. Until then
we will take things easy and try to put
in the time as pleasantly as possible.”

Bored Into the*'Whisky Barrel.
Yorkville, S. U., November 6.—(Special.)—
On last Saturday John A. Berry, a whisky
distiller, who lives seven miles north of
Yorkville, delivered to the agent of the
Charleston and Ohio River railroad sev
eral 1.: reels of corn whisky, consigned to
the state dispensary at Columbia, S. C.
During the night same enterprising sons of
nature took it upon themselves to bore an
auger boh* through th.* floor and into one
of the barrels and let the liquor run out,
catching as much as they wanted and let
tl.e remainder of a forty-nine-gallon barrel
run out. Immediately after the discovery
of the theft the case was put in the hands
of Detective R. H. Dobson, of this place.
He at once began work on the case, and
this morning arrested a young white man,
named James Parish, who, upon being con
fronted with strong evidence, confessed
that he was one of the parties who com
mitted the burglary, and implicated another
white man. named Harry Wilson. Wilson
wa* lodged in jail and Parish is out on bail.
Tnis I* the secund time in the past four
y.ars that liquor has been stolen from the
Cnarleston and Ohio River railroad depot
at this place.

A LARGE IKON CHEST
Dug up by Spaniard* VV h<» Game to Flor
ida in a S ,»«>p.
St. Augustine, Fla., November 6.—(Spe
cial.)—A party of ten Spaniards dug up a
large iron chest, supposed to be tilled with
treasures, on the old Christeval Brova
property, bounded by Hospital, Charlotte.
Bravo and Bridge streets, before daylight
yesterday morning. Mrs. Reddick, not
knowing what the men were doing, ap
peared with a shotgun and drove them off,
but not until they had loaded the chest,
requiring several men to carry it, into a
vehicle. No trace of the men can be found.
Nothing but a hole, some old pottery and
an iron hook and ono silver coin were left
by them. A sloop which landed here dur
ing Sunday night and left at daylight for
the south without communicating with any
one, is supposed to have carried the party
to San Domingo, as the heirs of the
original owner, Davine, live there. A mag
nolia tree, planted by the mother of Mrs.
General Blako seventy years ago, was
taken for bearing/ to the spot of the bur
ied treasures, which the parties seemingly
understood.
DR. HARTMAN
Lectures on Catarrh at the Surgical
Hotel.
In the course of the latest lecture of Dr.
Hartman, he said:
“About thirty-five years ago Pe-ru-na was
introduced to the medical profession as a
catarrh remedy. Its fame as a catarrh
medicine spread slowly at first, but, as ca
tarrh became more and more prevalent, the
attention of the public was attracted in a
greater degree. The result was that Pe
ru-na has come to be known in most of the
civilized world as the catarrh remedy of
this age. It cures by removing the cause
of the catarrh symptoms, and therefore
cures permanently.”
Those desiring to read the best book on
chronic catarrh ever published should have
a copy of the Family Physician No. 2, as it
contains much informat on on ca arrhal dis
eases from the pen of Dr. Har'inan. Every
family should have a copy of the Pe-ru-na
Almanac for 1895, the best almanac pub
lished. Either of the.-e valuable books wiH
be sent free to any address by the Pe-ru-na
Drug .Manufacturing Company, of Colum
