SOFJA, Nov. 15.—The Bulgarian cab inet today rejected Turkey’s plea for an Immediate armistice. The Porte was officially notified that the other mem bers of the Balkan league would have to be consulted and that final negotia tions would have, to be made by- the opposing commanders. This reply shows Bulgaria, is seeking time In which to force the last defenses of Constantinople. The Bulgarians today’ contin ued their steady advance on Constantinople. A dispatch from that city stated that Czar Ferdinand’s troops had reached Kilios, on the coast of the Black sea, at the entrance to the Bosphorus, only a few miles from the Turkish capital. This indicates that the defense of the Turks on the Chatalja lines has been completely shattered and tl4< the Bulgarians may enter Con stantinople within a few hours. Eighty heavy bore Krupp guns were captured from the Turks by the Bul garians when the Bulgars broke the Turkish right wing at Chatalja today. The guns had just arrived at the Turk ish front and were still unpacked. They will be set and used by the Bulgarians. Bulgaria will agree on peace with Turkey only on conditions of eliminating the "Sick Man of Europe” from continental affairs, and will grant an armistice only on abso lute assurance that Turkey will com ply with all agreements made in the negotiations now pending. This was decided upon today at a cabinet meeting, presided over by Pre mier Guerchoff. Formal draft of the conditions providing for an armistice was drawn up’ to await the arrival of King Ferdinand from the front. In the meantime there will be no cessation In Bulgaria’s military campaign. Tht conditions of Lie in- ''ontinued on Paq» Two. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1912. DON’T MISS THE GEORGIAN’S AUTO SHOW SUPPLEMENT The Georgian will publish tomorrow a section devoted to automobiles and automobile news, with special reference to the great motor car show which opens at the ; Auditorium-Armory. This supplement will perhaps not be as large as some which have been issued, but in respect of art work, editorial matter and the handsomeness of the advertisements it will be considerably better than anything of the sort ever before pub lished in the South. It will be invaluable to the owners of motor cars and to the trade. EX-SEN. TERRELL IS NEAR DEATH Joseph M. Terrell, former governor and United States senator, is extreme ly low today’ at his home in Juniper street and is not expected to live a great while longer. The senator has lapsed into a state of unconsciousness, from which there are grave fears lie never will revive. His death is thought to be a question of a few days at bestti if not hours. The senator’s condition has been ex tremely precarious for several weeks, but not until today has hope been prac. tically abandoned. He never has recov ered from the strode of paralysis he sustained in Washington some eight een months ago, and such apparent re covery as he made from time to time proved to be temporary only.

By Staff Correspondent.

He has wreck ed my life and I want him to reap his just reward,” said the dying girl just a few hours before her death, in the agony of convulsions. Up to the time she realized she was dying Miss Marchman had refrained from uttering one word against the man with whom she was infatuated. Whenever his name was mentioned she remained silent. My Girl Poisoned, Says Mother. She was repeatedly asked by her mother as to the cause of her strange illness, but her only reply was to weep and moan. Wildly in love with young ('leghorn, she spoke harshly of him only when she was going into the beyond. Anil t hen the accusation came with all of the passion that had for nearly a year characterized her affection for him. The mother, when seen today in tlie little country home six miles from Ashburn, frankly declared her belief that her daughter was poisoned. “I am not prepared to say whether M inner was poisoned for the purpose of murder or possibly to hide another crime, but I'm satisfied she died of some deadly drug. I cait not say that Tan < leghorn administered the drug himself, but I'm sure he was at the bottom of it all.
