MARTIN-VEN ABLE CONTEST.
Atlanta. May 30.—The contest
over the peat, iu the senate for the
Thirty-fifth district between Hou
E. W. Martin and Hon. W. H
Venable had a new developnjen*
today. Mr. Martin, it will lie re
membered, retired from the field
in Mr. Venable’s favor two weeks
ago, but under some influence that
the public could not got at, re-en
tered several days ago, His re en
trance created a small political
sensation and everybody wanted
an explanation of his action,
The explanation current today
is that Mr. Martiu was brought
back into the race by influences
antagonistic to the administration
and opposed to the election of a
senator with views in accord with
Mr. Cleveland on tLe financial
question.
Mr. Venable, it is understood, is
favorable to Col. N. J. Hammond
for the senate as his first choice
and next forjudge Turner, both of
whom accord with the administra
tion.
Acting upon this it is under
stood that Mr. Martin was put
back in the race by the anti Cleve
land taction, though not pledged
to any particular candidate Ful
ton count}’ will act on Friday,
instructing for the state senator,
but Mr. Martin will carry his fight
to the senatorial convention which
meets on Monday, if Mr. Venable
is indorsed by Fulton,
Cobb county has instructed dele
gates for Martin, while Clayton is
pledged to the man who cairies Ful
ton. On account of the issues over
the Un : !jl Ww the
boniest has aroused deep interest.—

cious freight. The North Rome
Baptist Sunday School had the
boat chartered for the occasion
and carried with them many of
their friends. Os course they will
have a jolly time —people who go
to Pope s Ferry, always do.

MURDERED BY A WOMAN.
THE VICTIM, A WOMAN, WAS ACCUSED
OF STEALING A DRESS .
Selma, Ala., May 31.—A most
horrible murder was committed at
Orrville last night. A negro wo
man named Pinkie Johnston ac
cused another woman named Jes
sie of stealing some clothing from
her.
This frightened Jessie and she
fled to Orrville for protection aud
was followed by Puikle, who, at
could not find her, Finally
after wandering around the streets
she met Jessie and at once began
to belabor her over the head with
a club.
After beating her into insensi
bility. she drew a razor from her
pocket aud cut the insensible wo
man’s throat, almost severing her
head from her body. The colored
population of Orrville and the vi
cinity are highly indignant about
the matter.
A DESPERATE FIGHT.
FANNIN HAD BEEN CONCEDED TO GEN
EVANS. HE ALMOST LOST IT
Atlanta May 30.—The vote in
Fannin county was 265 for Evans,
153 for Atkinson. Fannin has
always been claimed for Evans
snd always conceded by Atkinsons
friends but the Evans people t<-
night te'm to take comfort at the
result, though the closeness of the
vote is really a victory for At
kinson. A crowd of Evhdb workers
was turned loose in the little coun
ty and it is learned here tonight
used the most desperate means to
arouse prejudice against Atkinson
charging that he and his friends
had schemed to steal the vote by
fraudulent ma a emeut.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME. THUR SPAY MAY 31. 189*.
A SOLILOQUY.
EDITOR REVILL PUTS HIMSHLF IN
some body Elbe’s place.
The Constitution, solus—it must
be so, Atkinson, thou reasuuest
well. Else why should all Georgia
be falling iu line for the man of
Coweta? I thought to learn some
sence when 1 played so boldly for
Hill and lost. Lost in Georgia, lost
iu Chicago. Lost and beheld Mor
decia in the cabinet.
So far from getting wisdom by
reverses I must needs go aud stake
all on the gubernatorial contest in
Alabama. 1 p ayed a bolder game
than ever before. Scattered blue
pencilled papers all over the State,
but Oates sat down on me exclaim
ing: “Here we rest.’’ I squirmed,
twisted and stormed, but the re
turns refused to be doctored at my
bidding,
I made a glittering donkey of
my self by advising Will Atkinson
te come down, but the headstrong
young man would not come down
worth a continental and braved
my displeasure by laughing in my
face. I love to strike at a shining
murk, so I tackled Cleveland afresh
and now not a county from the
wire grass to the Blue Ridge can
select gubernatorial delegates for
either Atkinson, or occasionally
Evans, but they get off a stinging
rebuke for me. Alas, whither
shall I turn? I myself am furious
and fear I shall soon be a “super
annuated idiot.” Why should
that hated word torture my brain?
“Well, all is lost, including much
Atlanta boodle aud a fine flow of
spirits.
But, pshaw, this won’t do; I
must sharpen my pencil and order
Pea Jay to get up some more
fi'jla days for Evans, though At
kinson carry everys count/ Satur
day,— Meriwether Vindicator.
GEORGIA WATERMELONS.
Capt 1 Tom Lake exhibited in
the city yesterday the first water
melon of the season. It was about
the size of a baseball and was
taken from "the field of Messrs.
Sapp and Crovatt near Pelham.
Cupt. Lake thinks ripe watermel
ons will be taken from the field in
about three weeks.—Albany Her

The hopes and financial aspirations
of our watermillionaires which went
down to nearly zero last Sunday, are
rising again with the return of warm
weather. Our watermillionaires Li V
had a bard time, but we predict fo 1 "
them a happy aud triumphant issue
out of all their troubles.—Sylvania

rapidly now, aud it will be ouly afe.v
weeks until shipments will com

|ATKINSON IN SPARTA.
A LUIGI AUDIENCE PRESENT AID HIS
SPEECH LOUDLY APPLAUDED
Spa it*, May 31. -Hon. W. Y. At
kn oti, according to appointment,
spoiie here today. He had a very large
aud most enthusiastic audience,
though it was the policy of the Ev ■
ans men to stay away to day and
tome and hear their man tomorrow
Col Atkinson's speech was one of
the very host. He paid a high trib
ute to the Methodist church and to
Geu. Evans private and personal
character, bnt di-cassed his record
and position as a publia man, and
did it with gloves off’.
The fight in Hancock is very warm
and verry < 1 se Both sides are con
ten ling for each indivdual vote. The
fa”t that Gen. Evaus refuses to
meet Col, Atkinson on the sl ump, but
is tagging around after lain over the
stale, operators very strongly
against the “crave Confederate sol
dier.
