PHOTOGRAPHED IN COFFIN. 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.

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?
