Place —Editor Stevens Tells of
Plans of the Colony.
AND THEY WILL SETTLE THERE
Colonists Will Impart Practical Busi

New Ideas and Methods.
Brunswick, lla., August IS.—(Special.)—
James Garrard Stevenson, editor of The
Individual, a Chicago publication, arrived
in the city last night from Sapelo island,
where he has spent several weeks perfect
ing plans for the colony which lie intends
to settle on Sapelo d'Zing the early fall
months. Mention of this proposed colony
was made in these dispatches several
days : go and it is one that will attract the
attention of a large portion of those who
behove in nr. ideal home life as well as
of those who are skeptical otf the results of

s m’s plans are unique in some respects, but
i < o rrif d to a successful fulfillment will
make Sapelo one of the most charming
anti jd< il retreats in America. His views
an- modestly (.'.pressed, but I have se

A colony is a society in miniature. To tile

' Those wiio have the de pi st interest in

the island We find that which we desire as

thirty miles from Brunswick and about

half in breadth. It contains, exclusive of
tidi lands, about, 20,1 W air.-s of as fertil.

DEATH OF MOTHER AND SON.
News of the Death of His Mother
Causes Son to Drop Dead.
Savannah, Gm, August 15. (SpeelaT.)—
Mrs. John Hope Reid, tho oldest resident
of Savanna'h, born July 20, 1811, died this
afternoon at her residence on State street,
where she has continually lived since 1.829.
She was the oldest member of the Inde
pendent Presbyterian church of Savannah,
and was a regular attendant at Its ser
vices up to two Sundays ago. Sho was a
woman of wonderful mind and historical
knowledge, and preserved all lher faculties
up to within a few minutes of her death.
She leaves three children —Miss Ruth Reid,
Miss Madgie Reid, of Savannah, and Ma
jor William A. Reid, of Augusta, On., and
her grandchildren in Savannah are Mrs.
William R. Leaken, Mr. M. M. Stewart and
Mr. George H. Reid.
A most peculiar coincidence of her death
•was tho death of her son, Major Francis
Reid, In tile Marlborough Ihotel, in New
York city. Major Reid is said to have
dropped dead upon tho receipt of a telegram
announcing the death of his mother. Ho
had been north for treatment for heart
disease, and was of a nervous tempera
ment. In answer to the telegram sent him
announcing his mother's death, a telegram
was receiv' d stating that he Jtad dropped
dead in New York. He was about sixty
eight years old, unmarried, and has been
in the cotton business In Savannah all his
life. , ~
Both funerals will take place from tho
Independent Presbyterian church here
probably on Wednesday.
THAT BATTLE AT BAYBORO.
CORONER’S JURY SAYS THE KILL

People of the County Were Determined
To Break Up the Gang and
Did It.
Moultrie, Ga., August 15.—(Special.)- r 1 he
attack on tho negro gamblers by Sheriff
Fisher and posse on Saturday night, at
Bayboro, is the one topic, of conversation
hero today. The coroner held an inquest
over the bodies of the live dead negroes
today and exonerated the shertil'f by declar
ing. the killing justifiable.
'The gang attack' d by the officers is a bad
one and this is not the first time the sin riff
has undertaken to bre-ak it up. But Satur
day night's experience will undoubtedly
tiach this lawless crowd that the good
people of the community will not let tin m
longer violate the law. Twenty-five of t to
negroes surrendered to the slier.ft SaHir

CORBETT RIIiIiED

Father of “Gentleman Jim/’ (Yeates
Great Sensation in San Fran
cisco Last Tuesday.
THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN INSANE
Patrick J. Corbett, Father of the Heavy
Weight. Uses a Pistol with.
Deadly Effect.
S in Francisco. August 16.—Patrick J. Cor
bett, father of James J. Corbett, tho pugil
ist, shot and killed his wife at an early
hour this morning. The hypothesis accepted
by the family and by intimate acquaint
ances and friends of the household Is that
Mr. Corbett was laboring under the effects
of temporary insanity.
The terrible tragedy occurred at the Cor
bett home, 520 Hayes street, over the livery
stable owned by the older Corbett. As
n-ar as the time can be fixed the shots
rang out at 4:50 o’clock a. ni., Mrs. Corbett
b ‘ing killed as she was lying asleep in her
b<d.
So far as can bo ascertained, there was
not the slightest reason why rhe husband
should have sought to wreak Hlirh awful
vengeance upon his wife, as for nearly half
a century the couple has lived happily and
In perfect contentment togethei. Indeed,
during tho last evening they had chatted
pleasantly together about their fireside
with two of th"lr daughters, and at an
early hour had retired without the slightest
indication of having been given of what
ii is to follow within the next, few hours.
With Mr. and Mrs. Corbett reside their
two unmarried daughters, Catheriu and
.Esther, and a married daug.iter, Mrs.
Charles A. King, with her husband.
When Mr. Corbett puehased the. pistol
no one seemed to know. Apparently, as
he was never known to kei p a weapon in
the house before, he had purchased this
ono with an object. Whether during Ills
temporary spells ot insanity ho had contem
pt .ted the deed no ono can tell-
There is lltth doubt but what. Mr. Corbett
was temporarily insane when he committed
• de< d, and he inhi riled the
n .from his an estors. Hi. sister. Ma ■
g ii'et Griffin, is now an Inmate of the Nepe
I, am- Asylum, having been confined there
six years.
Both ti>e old people were natives of Ire
land, Mi. Corbett being slxty-slx years ol
a;-" and b.is wile four years younger.

layed until Jim arrives from the east, but
the bodies will be placet! in vaults.

Some time after they had returned a bot

At 9:45 o'clock this morning a chamber
maid found the woman lying dead on the

Miss Reynolds lived with her father, Ed

her mother and sisters and brother. When
Mrs. Reynolds was informed ot her daugh
ter's death .she shrieked:
"They have murdered my child for her

GUT HIS THROAT
IH COURT ROOM
William Bain, More Than Seventy
Years of Age, L’ses His Knife
on James Phillips.
BAIN’S DAUGHTER THE CAUSE.
A Very Lively Sensation in an Atlanta
Justice Courtroom—Story the
Old Man Tells.
“YOU HAVE DISGRACED MY FAM
lly, and you are now making your brags
about It, are you?" exclaimed old man
William Bain to James Phillips, in Justice
Landrum’s court Monday morning, and
as he uttered these words he slashed a
sharp ki.Wc across Phillips's throat.
D was a sensational ending "f an effort
which l ad been made to try Phillips upon
a warrant charging him with tak.ng ad
vantage of Mrs. Mary Seafe, the nidoiied
daughter of Bain. The affair occurred in
Justice Landrum’s courtroom on Decatur
street, in Atlanta, about 11 o’cloi k.
Phillips had been arrested on the warrant
three weeks ago and was taken I>eforo
Justice Hfloodworth, and upon the re
quest ti"- defendant the case was Ira
ferred to Justice Landrum’s court and the
trial set for Monday morning. Phillips's
attorneys made a motion to continue tho
case and the motion was granted. Phil
lips v. is sitting by a window, and was, so
I’a.n and his friends claim, laughing and
saying he intended to keep putting off the
case until he wa.s out of the scrape. It is
charge,l that he also made slighting re
marks about. Mrs. Scnfe. All this angered
Bain, and he rushed upon Phillips, spoke
tire woi<i-' quot' d and then w d Id.s knife
with the intention of killing his enemy.
Phillip : grappled with the old man to
disarm him wide the blood spurted from
a terrible wound in ills neck and both m -u
were dyed red with the stains.
.Mrs. Seafe, who was in the courtroom
as a witness, rushed bi tween the men,
screaming for the officers of the court to
separate them. Bain was pulled off and
Phillip-, sank upon the floor weak 'from the
loss of blood. Dr. Alley was summoned
and the Grady hospital ambulance sent
io-. The physician had his patient placed
on a cot while he sewed up the wound.
The knlfe jhad cut n i ly an inch deep
across the throat almost from ear to ear.
The wound was pronounced very serious
and one that was likely to prove fatal i"
the, man Wa.s not kept quiet and well nurs
ed. Tlie ambulance carried Phillips <■> his
home, No. 70 Pearl street.
Patrolman Ozburn took charge of Bain,
who ivas wild will! t.iv ■ and xeit'-ment.
He said over and over again that Phillips
bad di'-graced his family and that he had
m.-'d'-tip his mind to kill him and was only
sorry he had not succeeded.
\\ lu-n lie had quieted down in his cell at
tile police barracks. Hain, wiio is s -venty
years of age. to'«t the following story:
What the Old Man Says.
"I have, tiled seventy years and this is
the first time 1 have ever been in any
trouble. I came to Atlanta ifrom Green
ville, S. tliirtei-n years ago with my
live daughters. My only son is In A irginia.
My wife died twenty years ago and left
me the motherless daughters to r-r.sc. f
work'd for a while as a railroad watchman
and lately have been soiling goods on a
confederate veteran's license. Two or my
daughters are mil married in Atlanta.
Two have i 'ver marrii d, and the fifth,
Mary, married when she was fonrte-m,
and she is now a. widow. I ins man Jim
Phillips visited M ’ and hi >ld me his
intentions were honorable. I knew he was
a bard-working man. Ho took advantage
of my child and then refus- d to rn irry
her. So s;he swore out the warrant. That
scoundrel* kept having the case, put off.
mid this morning when It was continued
again he gloated over it and went about
tin- courtroom making bis brags and talk
ing about my daughter in the most scan
dalous manner. 1 told him to stop, and
when he kept it up I took out my knife and
cut his throat. I admit I did my best to
kill him, but what father in this land
would not have done the same? It is a
wonder that 1 did not do It long ago. The
only reason, I suppose, that 1 did not
finish him was because he dodg'd. T
reek-on if he lives he has learn d a lesson
which will do him soine e.ood

SEVENTEEN WERE DROWNED.
DETAILS OF THE CLOUDBURST
COMING IN.
Thirteen of the Victims Member? of
One Family—Damage to the
Crops Is Great.
Knoxville. Tenn., August 15. -(Sp<
The details of the Bench C'rO'-k d:-' imer
have been secured in pari today. Seven
teen livers were lost in th,- torrent of water
inc-ld -nt to the leg cloudbur t of last 1-:i
day night. Thirteen of the unfortunates
were from the. fiimllj of William l-i;',"'*.
instead of six, as at. lii'.st reported. Tho
remaining four victims ot th'- Hood were
John Arnold and wife and Samuel Henry
and wife. This is the full list of tho
drowned.
Tho members of the Figon family were I
Mrs. Figon and twelve children. '1 ho
bodl's of Henry and Arnold and their
ivl\i. have ne.t vet been recovered, but
the. Figons were found near their home
In addition to the drowned, thirteen per
sons w re injured among them being Wil
liam Figon, father of the ill-fated family.
The Injuries of none tiro fatal, how.ver,
but are more or b-ss serious.
Tlie damage to property bids fair to bo
much greater than was al first antielpa cd.
It was previously teported that tw nty
lives were lost in the Hood, but It is now
estimated that perhaps thirtv w.i p r.-oe.s
became victims of this downpout fi>'tn
the skies. The report state.- that the lam
illes ot William l-’.igai:. Thomas 1 ag.m.
William Tunnell and J::me.. i.'ouk w.-io
drown'd, together with I’atietiee and
Yanco Morelnek. John Arnold and moth
er and Samuel Henry and wife. The Ea
gan family numb'rid thirteen lost. Fa
gan himself escaping, tin- f-pci-t rives no
number of members of th'- remaining lam
jlies, but it >“ estimated that they num
bered at I'asl four each, which would
brin;; tl tota ost u
thirt>'-two. The families in that section
are, as a rule, very large, and this is there
fore considereu a conservative esiimate.
