Washington. Sept. 11.—Governor
Terrell, of Georgia, arrived In Wash
Ington today and had a conference of
some length with Secretary of the
Xavy Bonaparte at noon. He aald the
People of Ilia state are anxious that
i the big battleship Georgia, now being
1 completed, be brought to either Sa-
1 vannah or Brunswick for commission.
Secretary Bonapirte has not yet an.
. nounced his decision on the governor's
request, but the department Is known
to he adverse to s-ndlng the warship
to Georgia, to be commissioned later,
for her silver service. If the service
u rendv 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
New Orleans, and people of that city
and state generally, and the officials of
the navv department. The Louisiana
people Insist that'the big battleship be
run UP to New Orleans for her silver
I service, which will be presented the
latter part-of October or early In No-
- vember. while nnvy officials say that
owing to the vessel's draft and the
changeable condition of the channel
between the Jetties and the New Or
leans harbor, they prefer not to enter
Into the undertaking.
They have consequently promised to
send the ship to the moqth of the
Mississippi and anchor her off the Jet
ties for the ceremonies.

Alabama St.
New York, Sept. 11.—The shrewdness
of a New York woman, Mrs. Alexan
der Bloomberg, wife of a rug agent,
landed two Chicago men, Frank Kiss
and Samuel Rosenfeld, in the hands of
the central detectives, charged with
swindling Mrs. Emily L. Heine, a Cin
cinnati widow, out of $51,790 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 “ ** *** Anrt
said, procured $34,000
worth of rugs from Van Gassbeck &
Arkell, and had them exhibited at No.
6 West Twenty-eighth street, In charge
of Alexander Bloomberg, an agent of
the firm. Four paintings, worth $14,-
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 men
returned the rugs and pictures to the
firms, saying the sale was off. Bloom
berg became suspicious because the
men exhibited great sums of money.
His wife communicated with Mrs.
Heine and the swindle was exposed.

“Pittsburg. Sept. ID.
"Hon. Joseph M. Terrell, Governor:
“My Dear Governor:—Being a con
vict, without people or friends on the
outside, I have but one hopo 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 life
In the pen, because I have been un
able to have my case properly pre
sented to the power In command. I
wus 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, 1 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. 1 had no thought of murder:
could not have had, for she and 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. I will promise
you to live as I have for the last 28
years, subject to the demands of the
law. I shall send you a recommenda
tion of thin camp to show my conduct.
"Yours obediently,
