Government May Not Per
mit the Georgia to
Come Soon.
Washington, Sept. 11.—Governor
Terrell, of Georgia, arrived in Wash
ington today ar.d had a conference of
,ome length with Secretary of the
Xovy Bonaparte at noon. He aaid the
L„ple of his state are anxious that
the big battleship Georgia, now being
completed, be brought to either Sa
vannah or Brunswick for commission.
Secretary Bonaparte has not yet an
nounced his decision on the governor's
request, but the department Is known
to be adverse to sending the warship
to (ieorgla, to be commissioned later,
for her silver service. If the service
n ready to be presented at the time
of commission it Is likely that the re
quest will be granted.
A controversy has also arisen be
tween the Louisiana state officials of
Jfew Orleans, and people of that city
and state generally, and the officials of
the navy department. The Louisiana
people Insist that the big battleship be
run up to New Orleans for her silver
service, which will be presented the
latter part of October or early In No
vember, while navy officials say that
owing to the vessel's draft and the
changeable condition of the channel
between the Jetties and the New Or
leans hnrbor, they prefer not to enter
Into the undertaking.
They have consequently promised to
send the ship to the mouth of the
Mississippi and anchor her off the Jet
ties for the ceremonies.

and Samuel Rosenfeld, In the hands of
the central detectives, charged with
swindling Mrs. Emily L. Heine, a Cin
cinnati widow, out of *61,790 In an art
fraud.
It is alleged that the men told Mrs.
Heine they had a collection of pictures
and rugs In the customs house here on
which the duty was *3,987. They ad
vised her to buy them, first asking
her for the cash to pay the duty. If
she did not care to purchase, the money
she paid for duty would be refunded.
The men, It Is said, procured *34,000
worth of rugs from Van Gassbeck _
Arkell, and had them exhibited at No.
8 West Twenty-eighth street, In charge
of Alexander Bloomberg, an agent of
the Arm. Four paintings, worth 114,-
000, were obtained from M. Knoodler
& Co.
Mrs. Heine arrived August 6 and
agreed to buy. In payment she gave
*8,000 cash and notes for *40,000. The
pictures and rugs were to be delivered
In December. It Is asserted that later
Mrs. Heine took up the note and gave
the men *40,000 In cash.
It Is said that afterwards the inen
returned the rugs and pictures to the
Arms, saying the sale was off. Bloom
berg became suspicious because the
men exhibited great sums of money.
Ills wife communicated with Mrs.
Heine and the swltidle was exposed.

NEGROJSKS MERCY
Wilson Paul Sends Letter
of Appeal to the
• j Governor.
There came In Governor Terrell'e
mall Tuesday a moat appealing sort
of plea from a negro man who, from
a email boy of 13, has grown up In
the Georgia penitentiary, having served
2* years there for the killing of a
small negro girl 12 yeore old In Macon
county In 1879.
The negro convict Is now 41 yeare
old, and cravea at this late day rom the
the governor "a few years of free
dom.
The letter will be referred to the

follows;
“Durham Convict Camp,
"Pittsburg, Sept. 10.
"Hon. Joseph M. Terrell, Governor:
"My Dear Governor:—Being a con
vict, without people or friends on the
outside, 1 have but one hope of ever
seeing a free day again, that Is
through the sympathy of your honor
and the prison board. Governor Ter
rell, I have spent 28 years of my Ilfs
In ths pen, because I have been un
able to have my caae properly pre
sented to the power In command. I
was convicted In Macon county su
perior court In 1879, when a lad of 13
years.. I was playing with a little girl
of 12. Like all children, I picked up a
small stick and struck her on the neck
slight blow, but It proved hard
enough to dislocate her neck and she
died. I had no thought of murder;
could not have had, for she anil I were
childish friends, and only fate seemed
to decree that I should be the cause
of her death.
"Governor Terrell, I am by race and
environment an object of pity In the
eyes of the noble white people of our
land. I feel my condition keenly, and
do humbly appeal to you to give me a
few years of freedom. 1 will promise
you to live as I have for the last 28
years, subject to the demands of ths
aw. I shall send you a recommenda
tion of this camp to show my conduct.
"Yours obediently,
"WILSON PAUL.
