Filled with I‘rovialon* on Their Long Jour
ney Wnetward Governor Nor then
Thanhs AU for Re-poutliiig.
Georgia's contribution to the suffering
people of Nebraska is now fairly on the
way to the northwest, and right nobly has
the old state honored the impulse that
prompted her to respond to Governor Nor
then's appeal for aid in their behalf.
From every part of the state the supplies
began to roll in as soon as the alarm was
founded and they came from the tops of
the Blue Ridge and the wiregrass region of
the southwest. They came with that hearty
response that never fails to characterise
the giving of Georgia people, and they
came in such abundance as to clearly show
that Georgia was fully aroused to the sit
uation.
Even the little town of Demorest, in the
northeast corner of the state, responded
with a car load of corn. Supplies were
also sent in from Savannah. Augusta. Ma
con. Thomasville and Americus, each mak
ing a car load.
Th® Seaboard Air-Idne. the Southern
railway, the Atlantic Coast Line and the
Georgia Southern and Florida road* all
contributed supplies in car losd lots and
the coal dealers of the city ail responded
with open-har.ded liberality.
A car toad of corn was donated by the
directors of the Cotton State* and Inter
national exposition, and provisions of every
kind ware contributed by the merchants
and p«-ople of Atlanta generally.
At 8 o'clock Tuesday night, from th l * yards
of the Western and Atlantic railraod. the
train pulled out on its mission of relief,
bearing twenty-one car loads of food and
provisions to the starving multitude* of
the northwest.
Each ear was lettered with the inscrip
tion: *rgti tO N< !■: taka." m i the train
presented a striking picture as it stood in
the yards last night under the glare of the
electric lights, ready to begin its long jour
ney over the hills and the prairie lands.
A large number of people gathered to in
spect the train yesterday afternoon, and
when it pulled out last night a much larger
crowd was on hand at the freight depot to
give it a parting salutation.
No section of the country has responded
to the appeal of the Nebraska sufferers
more liberally than Georgia, and the people
y-nerous and hearty contribution of the
of Nebraska will, no doubt, appreciate the
old commonwealth.
Getting Ready for the Trip.
Bright and early Tuesday morning Gov
ernor Northen began the Work of prepar
ing for the trip by getting the cars ready
and organising the train.
He was assisted by his secretary, Mr.
Stanh >pe Sains, and the entire force of his
off,,-**. who were heartily enlisted in th*
undertaking.
The -up|.h-'« were nearly all stored away
a- the Georgia Pacific depot. It was nec
essary to transfer them to the yards of
the Western and Atlantic railroad in order
1o get the train ready for the rails of that
line. In addition to ttuse it was necessary
to load a number of cars with provisions
contributed by the merchants of the city
or purchased from the general fund col
small amounts, came from every part of
Cjntrihuttwns of money, in large am’
the country. These ranged as high as 525
and as low as l») cents.
A p »or Virginia lady rent the small sum
of 15 . ent-. She was not able to give much,
but she was better off than the sufferers
In Nebraska, and .-lie was willing to divide
her pittance in order to satiety the hunger
of her p ...r. unfortunate and starving fel
low creatures. A • -ntt butor. signing him
*.->ejf "J. it- N..' voetowwi the -null »i,m
V»f W cents; doubtk -s a poor man who had
Tittle to give, but who wanted to go on
record as giving his mite to the stiff* rers.
One man who simply signed himself Poor
David, enclosed a 42 bill. This, he said,
was a tenth of all he had on earth, and if
he was only a rich man he would relieve
the sufferer* himself without asking any
body's help.
As soon as the train was made up yester
day afternoon it was drawn by one of the
engines to the side of the Markham house.
Here it remained until ail the placards were
placed on the car*. At 5 o'clock it was
carried ba< k into the yards of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. Governor Northen
gave the organisation of the train his per
sonal supervision, and during the afternoon
Mrs. Northen came down to look at it and
was v«-ry much pleased with the inspection.
Mr. Tom Northen was also on hand during
the day and took a hand in the work of
getting the train ready.
On account of the weight of the cars, it
was necessary to procure the biggest en
gine on the road to make the trip. The
engine that did the work, and that drew
the long train of ears along the rail of the
Western and A’lantic railroad, was en
gine No. 11. of th-- Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis system.
At Slarten's. Tenn., the train will be
taken up by the Illinois Central system and
taken to East St. Louis. From this point
it will be carried over the Burlington
rout,- to its destination at Lincoln. Neb.

Governor Northen sends the following
card to The Constitution for publication:
“I cannot forb* ar to express to the people
of this state my appreciation of their
prompt and generous response to my appeal
in behalf of the suffering people at the
“la-t us thank God for that humanity
that mak.-s the brotherhood of man.
**ln carrying forward this work, the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph lines have
given nie the fn-e use of their wins, and
I have used them both liberally.
“Every railway in trie state off.-red me
its men. its cats and its tracks, to l <- use-1
as I needed, without charge.
“The train of twenty-one cars, which has
just started forth- west, was made up
from all parts of the state, without cost for
freight. It will be d-divered at I i*><x*b>.
Neb., without charge.
“The newspapers of the state have gener
ously helped me to tell the story of suffer
ing that has moved the hearts of a generous
and sympathetic people.
“Through all these means, we have been
enabled to send to the west a magnitlcnt
don.itior that w.ll be most gladly received.
“To all the people who have aide! me in
this splendid charity, I express my profound
thanks. W I NORTHEN."
A Nebraska Ilan Touched.
On • of the spectators who watched the
proceedings yesterday afternoon was Mr.
J. L. Rice, formerly of Omaha, Neb., but
now a resident of this city.
His eyes moistened as he gazed at the
long train of cars and thought of the relief
it would carry to his people in the far
west.
“They will never forget this,” said he.
deeply moved, “and vou may count on it
that the fx-ople of Nebraska will always
have a warm place fn their hearts for th
people of Georgia. It is just Ilk- the south
ern people to act in this generous and open
handed way, and if my intiu- nee can bring
th<-m here.l shall do all in my power to turn
the tide of immigration in this direction."
Mr. Rice came from Omaha about two
months ago. He is in the paint business,
and expects to locate permanently in this
city. He says he is delighted with Atlanta’s
climate, and expects to stay here if he can
possibly make a living. He is a prosp rous,
enterprising man, and there will be no
difficulty about his getting along in Atlanta.
Front the Scene of Deal it u t ion.
Letters received by The Manufacturers'
Record, of Baltimore, that tirst suggested
the idea of sen-ling relief to the west, show
that the distress is widespread, and that
every pound of food and fuel will be need
ed. Prior to calling on the southern p-ople
to exercise the trait of charity towards
their fellows in the west, Mr. Richard 11.
Edmonds, editor of The Record, wrote to
several authorities. Inquiring into the con
ditions of affairs. One of th<» replies re
ceived was the following, which shows how
these people appreciate the kindness of the
southern people:
“Headquarters Nebraska State R< lief Com
mission, Brace Block. Fifteenth and O
Streets, Lincoln. Neb., January 8, 1895. Sir:
Your letter of the 3d to his excellency.
Governor Ctcunse, has been referred to us
for answer, and I wish now to thank you
for the last information contained in The
Manufacturers* Record so kindly sent us.
We fully appreciate the spirit which
prompts you taking hold of this movement,
and striving to help us to relieve the suffer
ing on the borders of Nebraska.
•"When the gr -at cry came from Russia,
I believe, Nebraska was th • tirst to forward
a trainload of supplies. In less than ten
days we had three trainloads on the way
to the mills to be put in What we consid -red
the best product, meal, for the sufferering
Russians; and if there is any people in the
land who will appreciate this effort of the
south, it is the people of Nebraska, as they
Bee coming back to them that which they
so kindly gave two years ago.
“On behalf of the thousands of drought
sufferers, we desire to thank you. and
through you the good people who are labor
ing to make donation so marked a success.
Very respectfully, •
“LUTHER P. LUDDEN.

The people of Nebraska will recognize
the brotherly feeling that prompts this
generous contribution on the part of Geor
gia and the south.

tary and treasurer of the Association for
the Relief of Nebraska Sufferers, states
that about sixteen or seventeen carloads
have been donat d. an-i additional donations

of her people.

would undoubtedly submit to the arr -st of

with their baggage, ostensibly to take Uie

Huau's house. If Uiey are there they will
undoubtedly b? arrested tomorrow.

' Cuban residents w- re undi r . arv- illaa--•
last night by d< puty l.’nit- 1 St.it- s mar dials
is eontiimed today by J. A. Huau. who says

I business late yesterday evening. These
same men were still within easy call of
i each othe-t and near the house when he left
' it after supper.
“I suspected at once” said Mr.Huau, “that
tin* officials were eonne. t.ng me with th--
i missing Spaniards; and had set watch on my
premises. My wite also repoils that several
strange men during the afternoon and ear

point all day. As to Mantell and Mirandi,
1 have nothing lo say. I will not coniirtn
or deny the rumor that they are in my

them at all. But 1 assure you that all mat

Youiik Huau au Exile.
Mr. Huau’s lather, who is still livijig in
this city at an advanced age, was for many
years prior to IS'J9 the surgeon general of
the Spanish army in Cuba, and his son was
educat'd aomewhero in. Connecticut about
thirty-five years ago. Young Huau and his
broth- r-in-law, Henry Fritot, were both sus
pected of participating in the revolution ot
ISiki. Doth were arrested and confined for
many weeks in Cast!*- Mora, at Havana,
but were finally released through the inter
vention of the surgeon general upon the
condition that they leave the country with,
in twenty-four hours-.

The fitting out of this Fernandina expe

i this part of the country, seventy-two are
in Key West, seventy in Tampa, twelve
: in Ocala, two in Jacksonville, eighteen oth

i Cubans over twenty-one years of age in

• by yo .r own soldiers you connived at her
■ escape—and this was considered conclusive
I proof of, well, let us say, your treachery.”
! "bait I did not know it was my wif-- until
• -j;.. was nrrested,” sai l Brant, inipulsivt
1 ihe piesi'i* nt kt-bt I his eyebrows humor
i ously. “Don’t let us travel out of the
■ t -ord. general. You're a; h i I as tlie de-
I p.i .■tnn nt. The question was one of your
j pe: ; mill treachery, but you need not accept
’ the fact that you were in.-tly removed be
i cans-* your wife was a spy. Now. general,
I am an old lawyer, an-1 I don’t mind telling
you that in Illinois we wouldn’t hung a
j yellow dog on that evidence before the de.
Tiartnmnt. lint when 1 was asked to look
into the matter by your friends, 1 dlscover
■ i something of moi - importance to you. I
, had b« --ii trying to iind a scrap of evi
. -I- nee that would justify the presumption
' that you had sent information to the
> enemy. I found that it was Jan. -t upon the
( tact of tlie enemy being in possession of
facts at the firs t battle of Cray Oaks which
• could only have b. en obtained from our
s.de, and which led to the federal disaster;
tuat you, however, retrieved by your gal
lantry. 1 asked the secretary if he was
prepared to show that you had sent the
information witii that view, or that you
had been overtaken by a tardy sense of
repentance. He preferred to consider my
s i-'gi -tiiui as humorous. Hut the inquiry
h 1 to my further discovery that tlie only
reasonable correspondence actually in evi
dence was found upon th-- body of a trusted
• i.Jileral officer, and had been forwarded to
, tn<- division commander. But there was no
! Written record of it in the ease.”
"Why, 1 forwarded it myself,” said Drant
• eagerly.
t "So ihe divlsionc oommander writes,” said
i the president, smiling, "and he forwarded
I' it to the department. But it was suppress
ed in some way. Have you any enemies,
General Brant?”
' None that I know of.”
I , "Then you probably have. You are
young and successful. Think of the hun
dred other officers who naturally believe
themselves better than you ar*, and haven’t
a t tain thus wile, still, the department may
have made an example of you lor the bene
fit of the only man who couldn’t profit
by it.”
"Might it not have been, sir. that this
suppression was for tiie good repute of the
‘service - as the chief olfender was dead?”
"1 am giad to near you say so, general,
"for it is the argument I have used suc
cessfully in behalf of your w;fu.”
"Then you know it all, sir?” said Brant,
after a gloomy pause.
“All. 1 think. Conn-, general, you seemed,
just now, lo be uncertain about your
enemies. Let me assure you you need not
be so in regard to your friends.”
"I dare lo hope 1 have found one, sir,”
said Brant, with almost boyish timidity.
"Oh, not me,” said the president, with a
laugh of deprecation. "Some one much
more potent.”
"May I know fiis name, Air. President?”
"No; for it is a woman. You were nearly
ruined by one, gen rai. I suppose it’s quite
right that you should tie saved by one;
and, of course, irregularly."
“A woman!” echoed Brant.
“Yes! Une who was willing to confess
herself a worse spy than jour wife—a
doublo traitor—to save you! Upon my
, word, general, 1 don't know if the depart
ment was far wrong; a man witn such an
alternately unsettling and convincing effect
upon a woman’s highest political convic
tions should be under some restraint.
Luckily, the department knows nothing
i>J it.”
"Nor would any one ever have known
from me,” said Brant, eagerly. "1 trust
that she did nos I iilnk—that you, sir—did
not for an instant believe that I —”
“Oh, dear, no. Nobody would have be
lieved you! It was tier free confidence to
mo. That was what made the affair so
difficult to handle. For • ven her bringing
your ilispatcn to the division commander
iooked bad for you--and you know he even
doubted its authenticity.”
"Does she -does Alios Faulkner—know the
spy was my wife?” hesitated Brant.
The president twisted himself in his chair,
so as to regard Brant more gravely with
his deep-set eyes, and then thoroughtfully
rubbi d his leg. "Don’t let us travel out of
the record, general,” he said after a pause.
But as the color surged into Brant s cheek,
he raised hfs eyes to the ceiling and said
in half-humorous recollection:
“No, J think that fact was first gathered
from your other friend, Mr. Hooker.
“Hooker!” said Brant, indignantly, Did
he come here?" ,
“Pray, don’t destroy my faith in Air.
Hooker, general? l ' said the preslden-. in
half-weary, half-humorous deprecation.
"Don't tell me that any of his inventions
are true! Leave me at least that magnifi
cent liar—the one perfectly intelligible wit
n» ss you have. Kor from, the time that ne
first appeared here with «<• grievance and a
claim for a commission, he has been an un
speakable joy to me and a convincing testi
mony to you. Other witnesses have been
partisans and prejudiced. Mr. Hooker was
frankly true to himself. How else should
1 have known of the care you took to dis
guise yourself, save the honor of your uni
form, and run the risk of being shot as an
unknown spy at your wife s slue, except
from his magnificent version of his part in
it? flow else should 1 have known tlie
story of your discovery of the < alifornian
cor.spitaey, except from his supreme be
trayal of it, with himself as the hero? No,
you must not forget to thank air. Hooker—
when you meet him.
“Alins Faulkner is at present more ac
cessible; s'he is calling on sorn • nu inbers
ot’ my family in the next room. Shall I
leave you with her?”
Brant rose with a pal** face and a quick-
Iv throbbing heart, as the president, glanc
ing at the clock, untwisted himself from
the chair, an-1 shook hints* if out at full
length an-1 so gradually to his feet. “Your
wish for active service is granted. General
itrant,” he raid slowly, “and you will at
once rejoin your old division commander,
who is now at the head of the old T, nth
army corps. But,” he said, after a deliber
ate pause, "there are certain rules and
regulations of your service that even 1
cannot with decent respect to your depart
ment override. You will, therefore, under
stand that you cannot njoin the army in
you former position.”
The slight flush that came to Brant's
cheek quickly passed. And there was only
the unmistakable sparkle of renewed youth
in his frank eyes- as he said: "Let me go
to the tront again, Air. President, anil I
cure not how.”
The president smiled, and. laying his
heavy hand on Brant’s shoulder, pushed
him gently toward th*- door of the inner
room. "I was only about to say,” he add
ed, as he opened the door, "tiiat it would
be necessary for you to rejoin your pro
moted commander as a major gem rai.
And,” lie continued, Utting 1 his voice oa he
gently pushed his guest into the room, “he
hasn’t even thanked tne lor it, Aliss
Faulkner!”
The door closeil behind him, and he stood
for a moment dazed, and still hearing the
distant voice of the president in the room
he had just quit. welcoming a new
visitor. But tin- room before him. opening
into a conservatory, was empty save for
a single figure that tinned halt-timidly,
half-mischievously toward him. The
same quick, sympathetic glance was in both
their faces; the same timid, happy look in
lioth their eyes. He moved quickly to tier
side.
“Then you knew that—that—woman was
my wife?” he suid hurriedly, os he grasped
her hand.
Sftie east a half-appealing look at bis face
—a hali-frigiit’-ned one around the room
ami at an open door l.exoml.
“Let us,” she said faintly, "go into the
conservatory.”
It is but a few years ago that the humble
chronicler of these pages moved witii a
wondering crowd of sightseer! in tiie gar
dens of the white house. His attention was
attracted by an erect, handsome, sol iierlj
looking man, with a beard and mustache
slightly streaked with gray, who, with a
stately lady on his arm. was pointing out
the various objects ot intere-; to a boy of
twelve or fourteen at their ; Me.
“And although, as I told you. this house
is resi rvt only tor tile pres; lent Os the
Unit' •! States ami his family," said the
gentleman, smilingly, "in that little con
servator; 1 proposed t<> your mother.”
"Oh, Clarence, how can you?” said the
lady, reprovingly. “You know it was long
after that!”
(The End.)
If any one doubts th pre-eminence of
Dr. Price’s Biking Powder, a single trill
will carry conviction of its jmm .isurably
superior merits. It surpasses anything of
the kind in the world.

it was proposed son after the fed' rai
troops were sent to < lii.ago.
The originators were two Chicago ’nw

joined in the suggestion. AL. So\ itign
refused to give the names *-i ' e ; ■•liens
who caraw to him and Uebs a ti the p*aa,
but said they were men w.ius. names
w re familiar to the public.
The plan was. Air. Sovereign said, for
all the labor leaders, including Debs and
himself (sovereign) to go to some western
state and declare independenc ■ from the
national government. No state was de
cided upon, but Oregon and Washington
w re talked ot. Tne idea, which was ad
vanced to the labor 1 a iers by business
men and lawyers of Chicago who were in
sympathy with the strikers and wanted to
see them win, was to go to some state
which had a populist governor who was
fri tidiy to them and set up a provisional
government, an t keep the national govern
ment out with force if necessary.
Air. Sovereign said that troops w*-r*
offered them sufficient to make th ir
claim good. He said that the plan was
talked over along with many more, but
that he and Debs and the other labor
lead rs were too loyal to their country to
entertian any such scheme, consequently
it was finally abandoned.
Debs was somewhat inclined to accept
the uronosition. A man from Texas sent
a design for a banner for the new govern
ment which was peculiar, but Air. Sov
ereign says he cannot remember just what
it was. The plan was to work east from
the proposed new state of which they w re
to take possession; gradually take in tlie
whole country and get possession of the
national government itself.
They would have put in force all the
peculiar policies of the labor organizations
as far as they could lie made consistent.
One thing that deteir d the labor leaders
from going into the scheme was that they
feared they could not hold all their fol
lowers together for a common purpose.
Some would want to go into too many
things, and dissension and ruin would fol
low.

vails here, ami, in consequence of threats
to destroy the city, a proclamation has
been issued forbidding any one to be abroad
