THE Hi STUCK OF ROME. GOV. ATKINSON. Thats the way it reads by from 25,- 030 to 35.030. Majority TriE POPULISTS VOTE Isnotmuch argerthan in 1892 • Although re inforced by the Negroes vote in Many Sactions of Tha State. Governor Atkinson has swept the State by from 25 to 80 thou sand majority. This statement is based on the latest consolidated returns and these figures will embrace the democratic water mark of 1894. So far as can be seen, the loss to democracy has been in the ap athy of democrats, in a feeling of soreheadism and overconfinence. The summary from official re turns received shows that the pop utists have about 55 members in the next Legislature and five in the senate, where the democrats have about 120 members in the Legislature and 38 in the senate. From many sections of the state comes reports of frauds perpetrated by both sides, but most of them by the guileless, meek and lowly followers of Watson, Hines & Co. Our own, the “bloody seventh” has given Mr. Atkinson a majority of about two thousand, and loosing to the pops but one senator and a half dozen representatives. Now that the democrats have been aroused, however the next battle, the one between honest, true John W. Maddox and Dr. Flopper Felton will show that Seventh Dis trict democracy has only been sleeping.

A MILE iN 1:581-4. | Flying Jib Sets the Pace for aH Pacers. LOWERS THE RECORD. The Crowd Yelled Its Self Hoarse When the Flyer Came Down Under the Wire at Chillicothe, on Yesterday. Chillicothe, 0., October 5, —Ten thousand people, covered with overcoats and wraps, witnessed the fastest mile ever made in har ness by Flying Jib here today. The day was cold and a stiff wind was blowing from the north, mak ing fast time apparently impossi ble. Flying Jib, however, was equal to the occasion. The great pacer was advertised to go against the re cord of Robert J, when in reallity he went hitched to a running mate to beat the record of Westmont, 2:01f, made in this style of racing at ChicagoSn 1884. At 4:80 o’clock the great geld* ing was brought on the track and was given a warming-up heat by his owner, Monroe Salisbury. His driver, Andy McDowell, then took the lines, and before the audience realized what was going on, he came up the little loop and nodded for the word. Swi't as the strong north wind that was blow ing in his face the great lu rse seemed to go, pacing without a skip, in an easy manner, while his running mate seemed to lag be hind. The time was only caught at the half-mile post, which was done in 59 fiat. Down the home stretch he came like a western cyclone, and the 20,000 eyes that were fixed on the great horse could scarcely be lieve it was a living animal they were looking at. When the wire was reached the audience yelled itself hoarse, as they knew the record was beaten. Starter Hooper then addressed the multitude as follows: “This audience has witnessed something no other audience has ever seen. Flying Jib has paced a mile in 1:58|, making the first half in 59 Hat and the last half in 59f seconds.” At 5 o’clock Directly was brought on the track to beat his | record of 2:07f, but made his mile in 2 :094 only.

H FATHERS CRIME Charged With Being an Accesory to the MURDERD HIS DAUGHTER He was Arrested and, Weeo ingly, Silently, led to Jail Veheemently Denied his Guilt. A Daugh ter Hysterical Raleigh, N C, October s.—ln the trial here today of George Mills, for the murder of his niece, lona Wimberly, Drs Moore and Cotton, who attended Miss Wim berly, said her death was due to a heavy blow on the side of the head. She had been struck six times on the head, they testified. There was no evidence of an attempt to outrage her. There was no positive evidence that Mills on the day before the murder, went to a store and bought laudanum, and a witness testified that the day after the at tact on lona, he had found on the floor of the abandoned house where she was found, a piece of paper, which the man who sold the laudi num identified as that in which he had warpped it. The most startling evidence o the day was given by Deputy Sher iff Walters, and was regarding what Mills told him the night the latter was taken from jail to pre vent his threatened lynching. Mills had been told not to talk, but did so aud .said he hoped to see lona recover so she fcould tell the truth. He said that if the truth were known her father would be found as guilty as himself. Judge Bynum this afternoon is sued a bench warrant for A J. Wimberly, lona’s father as an ac cessory before the fact to murdar. The grand jury later returned* true bill against him for murder. He was jailed. He appeared utterly undone vehemently protested his hinoceuce aud wept silmtly. As he was being taken to jail, bis daugb ter Savannah became hysterical ar d her cries were heard in the courT room.lt is said tirat Wimberly will uot betriel at this term. The wit nesses in his case are the same as those in th? Mills case. His arrest was not un«xnected. KEENE AS HAMLET. A Splendid Performance and a Large Audience. w One of the largest and most fashionable audiences that has fill ed Nevin’s Opera House in many days, greeted Mr. Thos. Keene and his company last night. The performance was all that was expected, and Mr. Keene as the dark and gloomy Hamlet show ed the fire of a great genius. To appreciate the power and the art of character, you must concentrate your mind upon every passionate, sneering, or sad thought uttered by the fated Prince of Denmark, and last night the constant interruptions from late couples coming in, so detract the attention of the audienct, that the actors’ work was not fuliy appreciated until the second and third act. The support was good. Special mention should be made of Mr. Arden, as Laertes, and Miss Law rence as Ophelia. The scene at the burial of Ophelia was a wonderful piece of work, and Laertes showed that there is in him the making of a great actor. The company went to Chatta nooga this morning and will play there tonight. Mr Cary King went down to Cave Spi >g this inoring Mr J T Doster wen t out for a six weeks trip, selling the mer chants of Georgia and Alabama drugs for D W Curry.
