A Woman’s Unique Scheme for
Bringing Remorse to her Lovir
The Vienna correspondent of
the London Times writes: The last
act of a melancholy drama has
just be n played here.
The hero is a young man of 27
of fcood family, intdigent* indus
trious and hone ab e, whose posi
tion as book-keep ?r in a large firm
ia ths city enabled him to eke out
a modest livelihood and contribute
t > the support of a widowed moth
erand unin.tried sister who are
in receipt of a slender p* inion.
Filial piety and parental love
were the bonds that united the
membeis of this model family.
V year ago the first, note of dissot -
ance was heard in the midst oi
this touching harmony, introduc
ing the prologue of the drama that
was about to begin.
Antony L (this was the young
mans n inc) went out one evening
to unbend his mind for an hour or
,wo in one of the brilliant music
nails which are so numerous ii
Vienna, and in the course of the
dancing met with a young siren
who not only charmed his ear but
bewitched hie eye and led his soul
captive,
She was young, pretty, seductiv e
innocence incarnate. He had left
lome an enthusiastic bachelor and
is ieturned a rapturous candidate
or marriage. His mother and ais
ter bantered him, exhorted him
but all to no purpose; and then,
bowing to fate consented to make
the acquaintance of the enchan
tress.
The first impression was favor
able, and the mere they saw of the
lady the more they ‘‘warmed’, to
her, and she finished by weaving
around mother and daughter as
potent a spell as she had cast over
the son.
Tliekla R. (such being the poet
ic name of the chosen one) al
though only a shop girl, was form
erly recognized as the bride elct,
and the wedding was fixed to come
off in the near future.
Soon after the betrothal, which
in Austria, as iu Germany
is usually published in the da y
papers, vague rumors, followed o,
circumstancial stories, reached the
prospective mother-in-law. repre '
seating Thekla to be mucti 1< a
innocent than she looked.
Antony at first refused to listen
to those horrors, but proofs were
soon brought forword which re
moved every doubt. Then he shut
himself up in his room and brood*
od in secret.
Thekla meanwhile wrote letter
upon letter pleading guilty the
charges alleged, but begging her
bride-elect to overlook the past for
the sake of the rosy future thi t
awaited them both if he would
hut say the word, but he remained
inexorably silent. Her le'ters be
came less and less frequent and
more and more melancholy i •
tone, and at last they ceased al o
gether.
A few days ago the ycung ma.i
received a registered letter with a
deep black border. His heart beat
violently at the sight. Impatient
to know the worst, he cut open the
envelope and drew out —not a mis
sive, as he expected, but a photo
graph of his ladv love attired in
al 1 tier bridal finery and lying
1 ifeless in her coffin.
For a few moments the young
man gazed intently at the grew—
some likeness and then with a
piercing cry he threw himself
on the floor beating his breast and
reproaching bimself as the mur
derer or his martyred love.
The proxysms of wild despair >
*hat ensued inspired his relatives
with fear for the young mans life.
The physici tn was called in and
his verdict proved more tpr” l ’ 1
even than a sentence ot deaiu— ‘
confirmed insanity, with very
little hop's of an ultimate recov
ery.
“And how did Thekla, the source
of all this misery, kill heraelt?”
I asked. Did she poison herself or
was it a case of a broken heart?
“Thekla is not dead at all, was
the reply, “she is hale and heurty
as ever. She hit upon the idea of
having herself photographed in
her coffin, merely as a last resort
to induce her lover to forgive and
forget.
GAINING GROUND DAILY.
Sa p/ACTOLY PrOGKKSS OF COLONKL
Atkinson ’a Uaniidaoy.
Macon > owe (E ans ]apir.) •
Hon W. Y. Atkinson, tl e hustling
and brilliant candidate for governor
spent Thursday in Macon looking
after his forces.
Colonel Atkinson is looking fine
and is in high spirits. He spent the
most of the day at the Hotel Lanier,
where a surprisingly large npmber < f
people called on him.
Colonel Atkinson says e siu he
tight to the end and has no reason to
feel any anxiety over the prospects.
He says that if he could have had his
choice be would not have open 1 d '.he
camp; ign so early, but as General
Evans has gone into the field and is
actively organizing his forces, <f
course he has to meet him.
Preliminaries were arranged for
the organization of an active Atkin
son club in Macon.
Columbus Ledgder ( Atkinson Paper.)
To a even prejudiced Evans par
tisan it is evident that Mr. Atkinson
s gaining ground throughout the
State
It is a fact that the Evans people
and papers are doing a great big lot
of talking, and are claiming a very
great deal more than was ever ac
corded to any candidate.
Their claims have included the
vigorous support of the people of the
whole State, and it was sought to
make the one candidate idea, a prom
inent if not the prevailing one of the
campaign.
General Evans’ candidacy wai an
nounced early, and tae one candid/.te
idea was launched with it. Nothing
much was said about it for a time,
for there was but one candidate, but
after Mr. Atkinson announced, it
was shown the one candidate busi
ness had never gone down with the
people. It may be said that Mr. At
kinson’s campaign has not been
attended with that hallelujah hur
rah that has given Gen, Evans’ can
didacy prominence in some places,
but Mr. Atkinson’s candidacy has
a more substantial foundation that
sentimentalism.
It is a noticeable fact that the
Evans papers in their publication®
about the campaign have underta
king o show why Mr. A kinson
hould not be elected, but fail to
say anything about why Gen Evans
should be elected.
About the only objection which
they have been able to urge against
Mr. Atkinson is practically the
fact that he was not old enough to
fight in war between the States
We love the old flag, hut it must
be “the old flag and an office” no
longer iu Georgia.

Mitchell Billups, cal, escapes fiom
Bailiff Beard but was recaptured.
Amazonian cutting affair at the fur- ,
nace.
Yesterday was a good day for
the race—and several occuned in
which lawless negroes led the way
and officers followed in hot pur
suit.
The first that occurred was led
by Mitchell Billups, col. Mitchell
was taken from jail by baliff Beard
who was * carrying him before
Judge Lumpkin for a preliminary
hearing on a charge of stealing
turkeys and robbing a smoke
house.
Outside the jail door, Mitchell,
who is a long, lank six footer,
shoved the little bailiff to one
side aud made a dash for liberty.
He ran up the river and was
followed close by the plucky
little bailiff who lost some time
in shacking his coat and recover
ing his pistol which fell from his
pocket.
Deputy McConnell, in his shirt
sleeves, was also in the race but his
son Raymond was the more fleet of
foot and was the first to over haul
the turkey trottiug turkey koon.
He was captuied in the bottoms
half i mile from the jail and was re
turned to the city “with company.’
He waj tried before Judge Lump
kin for stealing a blondegoble and a
brunett turkey hen from Mr. Hen
son, four miles out of the city.
The theft was traced to him very
clearly by Solicitor Nunnally who
prosecuted.
Mitch said he was an orphan and
a bachelor and that he ran ‘‘just to
warm himself up,” also that the tur
keys were left him by his “poh dead
ma’* and that the lice in jail had
stingers on them just like wasps.
He was bound over to city court.
He was charged with robbing Mr
M L. Troutman's smoke house and
carrying away several dead hogs,
on the installmen: plan. In this case
be waved trial and went to jail again.
He paralyzed the court by asking
if five uv you gemmuns will chip in
a cent a piece and buy me some
cruel ‘intment? The collection fail
