AN INQUIRY IS SET ON FOOT Senator Turner Charges That Gold Property In Alaska Has Been Illegally Ceded. Upon the authority of the governor of Alaska, Mr. Turner, senator fiom the state of Washington, wade the statement in the senate Wednesday that concessions for gold miuing iu the bed of the sea near Cape Nome, Alaska, had been granted by the sec- retary of war, and upon that statement he based a resolution of inquiry. Senator Turner said if snéh'a grant had been made it was ‘‘a shame, a Fe- proach and a scandal.” Mr. Turner's resolution directed the “secretary of war to inform the senate whether any concessions to excavato the gold-bearing bed of the sea iu the vicinity of Cape Nome, Alaska, or in other Alaskan waters havo been mado to any individnal or corporation or s- sociation by the secretary of war or any other war department official. and if so, upon what theory such grant was made. “Tho secretary of war,” eaid Mr. Turner, “hag jurisdiction over the navigable waters in the rivers and harbors of the United States and at various times has _gisen to private in- @ividuals authority to excavate the hed of such waters for proper pur- poses. Now if this anthority*bas been stretched to cover such a concession as that mentioned in the resolution it is a shame, a reproach and a scandal.” Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado, said that in view of this extraordinary state- ment the secretary of war wonld bo anxions to answer any proper inquiry touching it, If such a concession had been granted it was clearly a-violation of the law. Mr. Carter said it certainly could not be in contemplation of the secre- tary of war to gire mining leases without asemblance of law. “I think the resolution should be adopted,” said Mr. Carter, “‘as I'm satisfied the response will show the secretory ho not arrogated to himself such power.” ‘The resolutions were agreed to. * CONFLICTING TESTI MONY Given Before the Industrial Commission at Ite Seasion In Atlanta. Conflicting téstimony has been given tothe United States industrial com- mission as to the condition of the mill operatives in Atlanta aud the wages they receive, ‘Three witnesses Fepresenting labor organizations, told tho commissioners that the condition of the mill opera- tives was deplorable. Their evidence was that the conditions at the Falton Bag and Cotton Mills were especially bad. Mr. Oscar Elsas, representing the Fulton mills, denied that-his employes were mistreated or were paid etarva- Sion wages. ‘The foreman of a Macon newspaper, L. J. Kilburn, was also a witness be- fore the, commission. He said that since he ‘had been at work, Jabor in the south had been organized. He believed moral and financial benefits had been derived from organization. Tie discussed the labor unions in Ma- con, telling of the wage scales and the rnles that prevailed. “Incompetent workmen aro.not ad- mitted to our unions,” he said. “We have to keep them out becanse wo want to guarentee to the employer of union Iabor that he will get tho value of his money.” “Then it is iu the power of the union to prevent men from working at a given trade,” said Mr, Smyth. “We do not go that far, bat we pre- vent non-union men from working in union shops.” Kilburn explained the system of apprentices, snying that in the Typo: graphical union one apprentice was allowed to every seven printers or _ fraction thereof. “Suppose an employer had a son whom he wanted to learn the trade and there were no apprentice places vacant?” suggested Senator Kyle. “The employer's son would be torngd down,” replied Mr, Kilburn, “sjust like anybody else. I had a case a few days ago where an employer wanted his son to learn to operate a Mergentheler machine. There was no vacancy and I had to turn him down,” Senator Kyle asked if the laborers were not operating a gigantic trust. Mr. Kilburn said they simply had- large organization. He did not con- sider ita trast. : “ ‘Phe senstor ssid it occurred to him that the. labor unions were putting themselves on the same plane with the big corporations of the country, “HENACE TO AMERICA.” Sulzer Charges That England Is Fortifying Against On the Canadian Frontier. A Washington special says: Tn the house of representative Congressman. Sulzer deuonnced the adfnivistration for its pro-British policy in the most seathing terms. He spoke on his re - plution makiug‘inquiry about the for- tifications being erected by Great Britain on the Canadian border, which resolution bad been turned down by the Republican committee: Mr, Sulzer said his resolution only ‘called for such information not inconi- patible with the public interest, not for secret information. The ddjntant general’s report, he suid, is proposter- on aud untenable and it is ridicnlous for him to say Great Britain is not trespacaing on our territory, no one contends that, What we do declare and what every thinking aud intelli- ‘gent citizen of this country knows is, thet while Great Britain is pretending to he onr friend she is sedulously aud studiously and consistently erecting great fortifications on our northern frontier which menace the integrity of the republic and which on notice of twenty-four hours could destroy our cities, our towns, and lay wante the property of our poople. It seems to me that today the administration is being humbugged by the administra- tion of Great Britain, “Tsay that on this resolution I want to get the sense of this house and find out who are the friends of America and who are friends of Great Britain. ‘Woe ought to have this information. There is a feeling all over this country that the administration bas absolutely and abjectly surrendered American ‘rights to British enterests, It bas done so in Alaska, it has done so in regard to the Nicaragua canal, it is <loing so now in the orient, in the Philippines, in China. “The administration here is moro ‘English then the administration in Loudon, and it is time for some one to stand up here and taik for American rights against British interests.” (Loud applause on the Democratic side.) Tho resolution was finally laid upon the table, 110 to 97. ‘The resolution of Mr. Sulzer was as follows: “Resolved, That the secretary of war is hereby directed to inform the hone of representatives as early as possible what fortifications Great Bri- tain is erecting, constructing and com- ‘pleting on the northern frontier of the United States, especially at Puget Sound and other places on the Pacific ocean, contiguous to the state of Washington and District of Alaska." 'Tho resolution had been previously referred to the committee and came back with the following endorsement: “The information ‘that the depart- ment possesses on this subject bas al- ways been held to be confidential, and for good and sufficient reasons has not been made public. “Ttis remarked, however, that Great Britain, so far as the department is informed, is in no instance erecting fortifications trespassing on our rights.

COMMISSION IN ATLANTA, Much Light Is Thrown on Conditions In the South. \ ‘Much light on industrial conditions in the south, and Georgia in particn- Jar, was shown by the evidence before the United States commissioners in Atlanta, Ga., Monday. ‘The witnesses examined were Dr, J. D. Torner, president of the Exposi- tion cotton mills; Colonel R. J. Bed- ding, director of the state experiment station; Mr. J. E. Nunnally, of Nun- bally, Ga., and Colonel W. L.

They came from Win- chester, ‘Their movements have been kept in the dark and their presence was not known until several hours after their arrival. They did not register at the Phoniz hotel, but it is stated Golden went through the rear door of the Pha- nix and subsequently to his room in the hotel. ‘Another story is that thoy were met by a carriage and driven to the home of a Goebel Democrat. As the hotel clerk knew nothing of their arrival of- forts to find Golden proved futile. Many rumors ato in circulation. One is that Golden is trying to get away from Goebel influences, but ho is clurely watched. It is Improbable that he has given them the slip. * Another rumor is that he was in the city for further conference with Goe- bel attorneys, ‘The stories growing out of the con- ference between Sergeant F. Wharton Golden, of the Barbourville company of state militia, and the attorneys who are managing tho investigation of the assassination of Governor Goebel have caused o sensation throughout the state. Golden will be placed on the stand by the prosecution in tho trial of persons already arrested for alleged complicity in the assassination, but in- formation as to the exact nature of the testimony he is expected to give fs lacking. “Twill do all I can for my friends allthe time,” Golden is reported as saying, “but I must first ke true to myself. When the time comesI will tell all Iknow. Whatever elso may be eaid about me I do not think Ican be accused of being a liar, a coward or a Democrat, and I want it distinct. ly understood that I am not bero un- der guard.” The story ia published that Golden hiss divulged to the attorneys the name of the man who fired the shots that killed Goebel. Tho person men- tioned is a malatto, who formerly lived at Winchester, was prominent in the French-Eversole feud and is known as o dead shot. This man is now supposed to be in thé wilds of one of the mountain counties, * Evidence that he was in Frankfort atthe time of the assassination was found smong papers. taken from W. H. Calton, a clerk in the auditor's of- fice, when the latter was arrested a week or so ago on a watrant charging him with being an accessory to the murder. ‘Among these papers wero receipts for board bills amounting to about $300, incurred by eighteen men who were in Frankfort for some time be- fore and at tho time Goebel was shot.

Bryan Makes Address. In effect William J. Bryan an- nounced at Lincoln, Nebraska, Mon- day night to the Democratic party end to the nation at large the-platformi which he considers best for the Demo- cratic party, especially upon which he desires to stand if nominated at the Kansas City convention. The platform which was adopted by the Nebraska Democracy in their atate convention, with the greatest enthus- iasm, regfiirms the Chicago platform, declares for “16 to 1,” opposes a large standing army, denounces tho action of the Republican party on the Porto Rican tariff bill, declares against trusts and “imperialism” and favors the choice of United States senators by popular vote. Tho platform is practically the creation of Mr. Bryan. He did not write it personally, but he was consulted concerning it, and be- fore it was réad to the convention he had approved it throughout. Tho platform adopted by the Popu- list convention was substantially the same as that adopted by the Demo- crats. It differs somewhat in form, but conflicts in no essontial point. Both conventions were enthusiastic for Bryan to the Inst degree and every mention of hig name was greeted with cheers of delight and approval. In- atrnetfons were given to both delega- tions to stand for Mr. Bryan in the Kansas City and Sioux Fall conven- tions. The Democratic, state convention was called to order at 8:15 o'clock by Jas. Dahlman, chairman of the state democratic committee, He announc- ed that Thomas J. Nolan had been se- lected as temporary chairman, Mr. Nolan took the chair and after being presented to the convention madea lengthy addrese. . The temporary organization was made permanent and a committee on resolutions was named. While that committee was out Richard R. Met- calfe, of Omaha; W. D, Oldkam, of Kearney; W. H. Thompson, of Grand Igland, and A. G. Tibbetts, of Lin- cdln, were chosen as.delegatesat large to the Democratic national convention at Kansas City. While tho convention was in the midst of a row over tho choice of al- ternates to the delegates at large, Mr. Bryan appeared in the hall. The sight of him puta stop to all business, and the delegates went wild as he mount- ed the platform. Mr. ‘Bryan's speech dealt almost entirely with the three questions which the has been disqussing in vatious parts of the country—the money ques- tion, the trust question and imperial- ism, He said that the ratio of 16 to 1 was the only ratio that was disptssed and the only ratio for which any consider ble number of the people of the United States were working. He denounced the currency feature of the financial bill and said that the Republican par- ty had never in s campaign advocated the retirement of greenbacks and that it would not beable to defend thatbill before the country. Tho Populist convention was turbu- Tent from the start, There were nu- merous candidates for every position, and objectors to every measure, The committee on credentials de- cided against the claims of the middle- of-tho-road Popnlists from Omaha to be classed as delegates, and barred them from, the gonvention. After being denied admission as del- egates to the Populist convention the middle-of-the-roaders held @ small con- vention of their own and appointed s Nebraska delegation to attend the Populist convention at Cinciinati, They also decided to hold a state con- vention in Nebraska at some date after the Kansas City convention, MAY STAY IN ARMY. General Wheeler's Resignation Is Held In Aboyance By President. It was semi-officially stated in Wash- ington Tuésday that President McKin- ley will not accept the resignation of General Jeseph Wheeler, but that the Alabamian was offered ‘the command- ership of the lakes at Chicago. It is now generally regarded by friends of General Wheeler in the city that he’ will not urge the acceptance of his resignation from the army provided he is given a transfer that is agree- able. It iz no longer a secret that he left Manila on account of the attitude of Genc¥al Otis toward him. CONSPIRATORS PLEAD GUILTY. Sensational Case of Tyson and Others Comes to a Close In Dis- trict Court at Savannah. frict Court at Savannah. Inthe United States district court at Savannah, Ga., Wednesday D. A. Tyson and others pleaded guilty to tle charge of conspiracy to defrand through the use of the mails. Thus collapsed a case that has engaged the court for the better part of two weeks, und which Judge Speer characterizes as “ono of the most notable cases ever tried in the federal court in this coun- try.” “The conspiracy had ramifications through half a dozen of the country connties of Georgia, most of them pro- hibition counties. The conspirators. would send ordera by mail to whole- sale merchants out of the state for all manner of goods, principally beer and liquors, which they would dispense in blind tigers, and the shippers would never hear of their money. But while liquors for sale in “dry” counties were a specialty, many other kinds of pnods were embraced in the orders of the gang. Indeed, the con- fessed leader of conspirators, D. A. Tyson, built and equipped a long dis- tance telephone lino connecting Sa- yannah with a dozen neighboring towns with materials fraudulently or- dered on elegantly engraved letter paper of fictitious firms, ‘Tyson made use of a number of small country merchants, whom he persuaded to permit the use of their names for the fraudalent ordering of goods. Many pianos, organe, reapers, cases of wine and other articles were found in depots in the territory of the gang, consigned to the various mem- bers of it, The gang victimized whole- sale merchauts in Montgomery, Chat» tanooge, Richmond, Charleston, Bal- timore, Cincinnati and elsewhere, The trial hag gone om nearly two weeks and nearly 100 witnesses had been examined when it was suddenly ter- minated by the plea of guilty. ‘Judge Speer stated that sentence would be passed upon the men later. ‘Those who pleaded guilty were: D. A. Tyson, J. H. Hutchinson, W. E. Hutchinson, Morris W. Hutchinson, J, M. Harrell, J. T. Hanmond, T. L. Ricks, C. J. Phillips, J. S. Wheeler, Jr., and H. B. Watts, alias C. J. Watts, The man who was declared not guilty, the evidence not connect- ing him with the conspiracy, was F. D. Wilkes. . DEWEY IN PARADE, Admiral Suffictently Recovers to Take Part In Savannah Program, Fifty thousand persons on the streets of Savanuah Wednesday gave Admiral George Dewey as enthusinatic a welcome as was ever accorded toany public man by the Forest City. “The admiral bad recovered from his indis- position of Tuestay sufficiently for him take part in the military parade and roview arranged in his honor, and as he rodo through the streets ‘with Mrs. Dewey at his side, ringing cheers tent the air aud waving colors made the scene one Idng to be remembered. ‘There were present in the parado fixe military companies from Charles- ton, one or more companies of naval reserves from Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Beaufort, 8.

NOW-A DAYS the colored man is judged not by the height that he has attained, but by his depth. AND now they are saying that a Negro killed Goebel. It becomes necessary at times to secure scape goats, and they may succeed in doing so in this instance. THE democratic-populistic convention of Nebraska was held on Monday. This is Mr. Bryan's state, and what it does will only be a forerunner of the national democrats. The platform was of a populistic kind and will not catch the ear of the thoughtful voter. On certain streets and lanes, there is generally congregated a number of women of our race who disgrace their sex by their indecorous actions. The police should use their endeavors to break up these gatherings and cause these disreputable ones to seek localities that are more secluded. Rev. W. J. WHITE has been quite sick since his return from Atlanta on Thursday last. At one time his illness was sufficiently serious to cause grave apprehension on the part of family and friends, since then he has much improved, though still confined to his room.—Georgia Baptist. MR. HARDWICK, of the Hardwick bill fame is anxious to be returned to the legislature so that he can again introduce a bill to disfranchise the Negro. The manner in which he was sat upon at the last session should cause him to keep quiet. There is no certainty about him being sent back. INFORMATION comes from Philadelphia that Mr. Prof. Major Wright has notified the national committee that he intends contesting the seats of the entire state delegation. Good graciions! Is this man crazy? Or is he simply a monomaniac? In either event he is harmless so far as others are concerned, but should be looked after to prevent doing violence to himself—Leader. ONE of our contemporaries dislikes the use of tickets of admission at the state convention. The knowing ones commend their use. If it were not for the tickets the convention hall would have been packed with rowles who would have prevented an orderly transaction of business. Only members of the legislature and those whom that body invites, are entitled to seats on its floors, and why can't the same rule work in a state convention where the delegation is so very large? ONLY a few years ago a girl created quite a stir in a certain town of Georgia by suddenly marrying her teacher. They soon after went to Washington. A year or so afterwards the husband sued for a divorce on the grounds of adultery. He got it. The divorced wife had a good time around a certain city and now she is an instructress in a flourishing Negro college of Georgia. This is solving the problem. The Negro seems to be dammed and the educated Negro is helping to do the damming—Gazette. All institutions of learning should be void of such characters as the above. Teachers of the young should be pure and spotless. Unworthy teachers retard the moral growth of the race. The Gazette should be more explicit and state what college she is connected with. Is He Crazy? Letters addressed to delegates to the late state convention making inquiry along certain lines are being received. The letters are sent out by Mr. Prof. Major Wright of College, Ga., and are the Mr. Prof. Major's primary steps towards preparing a contest before the National Republican Convention. It was known on the day after the state convention that the Mr. Prof. Major was enconced in his quarters at the Vendome under the guise of sickness, taking statements of delegates to whom he was furnishing aid, to show that he could have been elected a delegate at large to the Philadelphia convention. But no one took the Mr. Prof Major seriously then, and nobody is doing so now. Every delegate to the convention, and every other person who has any knowledge of previous conventions, knows that the late convention was the most harmonious and in every other respect, the best one ever held in this state. There was not a word of protest against any of the proceedings, and it is entirely too late now for the Mr. Prof. Maj. of strife-breeding to do what both he and his friends, if he had any in the state convention, failed to do—have him elected a delegate to the national convention. The Mr. Prof. Maj. said on numerous occasions that the fight was the one of his life, and if lost he was done for. Well, Mr. Prof. Major, you made the fight and lost it, and by your own admission you are done for, and if you have a spark of manliness in you it should enable you to pull off from politics and devote your life to something for which you are better fitted.—Leader. The Ministers. The Evangelical Ministers Union assembled at the usual hour with Dr Ellis, president, presiding. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. John Croly. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. Dr. Love brought up the question as to what can be done to break up the boys and young men from playing cards. He gave some timely remarks on remedies to be used in destroying it. Rev. Crollly said the best remedy he thought was prayer. He said that recently he had occasion to go into a certain portion of town and he saw a crowd of boys and young men playing cards and asked them to desist, they cursed him and went on playing. But he told them that if they would continue to gamble that he was going to bow down in prayer against him. They soon stopped and ran away from there. Rev. Mitchell read a paper giving the meaning of "Selah." Able remarks were made on it by Drs. Love, Durham, Ellis, Revs. Cargile, Whittaker, Maddox and Epton. The paper was adopted with thanks to the writer. The committee appointed at the last meeting to confer with the authorities relative to having them permanently close the policy shops, reported through its chairman, Rev. J. W. Roberts, who said they called on Mayor Myers and he said that he would render every assistance in his power to close them if the ministers would report cases to him with evidence to convict. Rev Whitmire was assigned to prepare a paper, subject "Which is of greater importance in our church services, the service or the worship?" for April 2d, and Rev. Cargile, "How can we improve our financial methods in getting support for our churches?" for April 9th. Rev. Travis was present and extended an invitation to the Union from the State College for them to come out there and meet Admiral Dewey, if he should visit the college during his stay in Savannah. The invitation was accepted. Dr. Ellis appointed Rev. Maddox to conduct divine services next Monday, after which he lined a hymn which was sung and Rev. Travis pronounced the benediction.

Thomas and that the church desired to show their appreciation of the excellent service he had rendered them by grateful thanks, and presented him an extra donation over his salary; he was im- mediately followed by the superintendent of the Sabbath school, Miss Harriet Delegal, who also read the thanks and gratitude of the school for the faithful service and marked improvement they had received since he had been with them and also presented a small donation. The pastor was deeply touched by these manifestations of esteem, and as he returned his thanks in a few commendatory words. The communion service then proceeded and was the most quiet, solemn and sublime service of this order seen in our rural churches. The attendance on those services were large, there being visitors from a distance, besides the two Baptist churches here harmoniously united in the whole service of the day, and at night both held their usual separate services. Rev. Simms preached to a largely attended meeting in the old church and the ordination of brother Leonard Thorpe took place at the Friendship; yet the services of the former was concluded in time for Rev. Simms and some of the deacons and members to return and assist in the ordination, which was very impressive. No person present on this day and witnessed this gathering, the appearance of these people, their homes and churches, the ease and grace of their action in churches and schools, of both, (but especially Friendship school) as we have on this occasion, but can feel proud of the progress being made by them religiously, morally and materially. Yours for progress, TWO VISITORS. In Memoriam. In memory of my friends, Mamie and Johnnie Haynes, who departed this life Nov. 22d, 1893, and March 22d, 1896, respectively. Several years have swiftly flown Since the Lord called you home: Yes, the days, the hours we've spent Together in this life, 'tho they came and went, Will never, never be forgotten by me, Till we meet beyond life's sea. But while I'm brooding o'er the past, Yours are joyes forever to last. 10 receive like you, God's rich reward. And live with Him, my Lord and King And thro', eternity His praises sing. You cannot come back to this earth, So full of sadness, and mirth; But we will meet on Canaan's abore, And dwell with Christ forever, A Friend, J. F. THOMAS. Newark, N. J. Rambler and Gabe. The following letter came to me this week in due course of mail, and I hasten to let the girls know that here's their chance. Here is the letter: Post Box 6, Quince, Ga., March 18th, 1900.—Mr. Rambler and Gabe, Sir; according to advertisement in THE TRIBUNE, I write to know more about those girls you spoke of, and please send me their names for I am wanting a wife who wish to spend her evenings at home. I am a man just 21 years old. Most faithfully yours. Now that looks to me and Gabe like business, and if there are any other young ladies and gentlemen who wish to get acquainted and begin corresponding, why just let the Rambler know and he and Gabe will see to it that they are duly introduced. If the parties suit each other, why the Rambler will feel that he has not lived in vain. I do not publish names of those that write me unless they so instruct me, for fear it may cause embarrassment, but any one interested can secure the names of correspondents by writing me their desires and enclosing a 2c. stamp for reply. The Rambler was the recipient last week of an invitation from Mr. Lofton, general manager of the S. T. and L. of H. railway, to go out with him and inspect the park his company is preparing for a pic-nic ground for Afro-Americans. He had a special car to take us out in, but I preferred to ride Gabe. I whispered in his ear that I wanted him to beat the car to the park and for him to hurry, hurry. We won the race. The place is not a park yet, but when Mr. Lofton gets through with it the mouths of white pic-nickers will water for the want of it. The people would prefer a pavilion and pic-nic ground on the salts, but it seems this is not to be had. By the way, Gabe came near getting me in trouble this week. He has a parching penchant for peanuts, and so without law, judgement or consent. He slipped away from me, went to a dago's stand and began helping himself to peanuts. The dago tried to drive him off but Gabe disregarding his good intentions, wheeled around and gave that dago his business end; and I tell you Gabe, is well versed in the art of kicking. I peeped around the corner and looked at the fun and nearly cracked my sides laughing. A policeman came up and tried to arrest Gabe and put him in the pound but Gabe gave him so much dust in his eyes that he thought a west indian typhoon had been transplanted to that spot, so the city's, "finest" met inglorious defeat at the heels of a jack, and fled. RAMBLER AND GABE. Grand Master Terry was in the city last week. The local lodges are increasing in membership. The interest in the order seem not to wane. The craft of the State will be glad to know that our venerable Past Grand Master and Grand Chaplain, Alexander Harris, is improving, after about six weeks of illness at home. Grand Master Terry visited Americus last week and has arranged for continued work on the Home, and expects to have it in such condition that the craft will be able to convene in it at its next grand communication. On the 28th ult, under a dispensation from the Grand Master, an election was held at Zerrubabel lodge No. 82, with the following result:— H. W. Porter, W M; W. P. Porter, S W; R. J. Jenkins, J W; S. R. Walker, Treus: J. W. Hardee, Secy; D. Toole, S D; H. M. Smith, J D; H. W. Boyd and Elt Hall, Stewards; S. P. Muller, Tyler. These officers were installed by P. M., Rev. S. M. Walker. Past Master, A. B. L. Gillis wended his way to our office while in the city on Monday. Bro. Gillis is an untiring mason. Through his efforts two prosperous lodges have been added to the Grand lodge roil. He is ambitious to make Emanuel county the banner masonic county of the State. An unidentified editor says that if newspaper subscribers would only pay their bills as promptly as they do almost any of their other expenses, there would be better papers and more prosperous and happy editors. But most people seem to think that the editor can be paid last just as well, and he's considered impudent by some if he insist upon the payment of his dues. We haven't the least doubt that there is a special felicity in store for people in the next world who have always responded promptly and cheerfully to the demands of the newspaper man.—Press and Printer. In Memoriam. CELIA A. BROUGHTON. When she saw the portals open To receive her, she forthwith Wrapped her mantle closely around her And with step of death, she waved From the vale where once she wandered To a bleast abode above. There she found the angels waiting To receive her, and she walked Mid them, gloriously chanting, Loud hosanna—to her God. Mrs. Celia A. Broughton, one of the oldest residents of Brooklyn, departed this life Wednesday morning after a brief illness of a day, at her late home, 363 Bridge street. Mrs. Broughton was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1822. Her maiden name was Celia Ann Battey. She married Mr. John C. Broughton in the city of her birth in 1843. A few years after she removed to Brooklyn, where her husband purchased a home at 324 Gold street. Her health lasting somewhat, Mr. Broughton took her to saratoga springs to see if the air would benefit her. Here she recovered so rapidly that her insurance purchased a summer home and for the past forty years the Broughtons have divided their time between Brooklyn and Saratoga. Mrs. Broughton was one of the founders of the Concord Baptist church of Christ, where she has been identified for nearly forty years as an ardous and faithful member. Mrs. Broughton had two children (boys) both of whom died many years ago. Surviving her are a husband and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Mary C. Moseley. The funeral services were held at the Concord Baptist church, Reverend Messrs. Dixon, Thompson and Miller officiating. There were many beautiful floral tributes. The body was laid away in a magnificent plot in Greenwood Cemetery. Mrs. Broughton was an exceptional woman in character. All who were associated with her knew of her kind heartedness and generosity. In her home she was a faithful wife, an indulgent and loving mother.—New York Age. Locals. We regret that the prince of good fellows and unfortified gladiator Capt L.M. Pleasant, of Chatam county, was prevented by sudden illness from taking part in the convention proceedings.—Leader. The ball by a committee of gentlemen of the De Soto, at Morse's hall on Monday night promises to be a grand affair. Notice. The Ladies Charitable Workers is hereby ordered to meet at the residence of the late Mrs. Ann G. Bougues, Huntingdon near West Broad street, Monday April 2, 1900. This was the request of the deceased, who was the honored president of this society. ATTENTION: We desire to call your attention to the COMPLETE STOCK OF ...LADIES OXFORDS....

The pastor especially invites the sinners to attend. A series of revival meetings is in progress at the Mt. Tabor Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. Whitmire, reports success.

He was well known in this city. Mr. Lawson was a native of Augusta, and his remains were taken there for interment this week. Miss Maria Frazier reports that the members and friends of Bethel A. M. E church gave the pastor, Rev. C. O. Mitchell, B. D., an acceptable surprise on Tuesday night with quite a supply of delacacies. Bethel's members and friends are somewhat mind readers, think at the right time, and act in the proper time. The anniversary celebration of the Twilight Reapers at the Duffy street hall on Monday night last was quite a success. A large number of guests were present and the evening was pleasantly spent. On Sunday night last this club attended the First Bryan Baptist church in a body, and the pastor, Rev Griffin preached an anniversary sermon to them. An excursion will be given to Beaufort to-morrow Sunday the 25. The steamer Santee has been recently rebuilt, and is chartered for the occasion. The boat will leave wharf from the foot of Abercorn street, at 8 o'clock a m. returning leaves Beaufort at 6. Choice refreshments will be on board, and the best of order will be preserved. The excursion is under the management of Capt. L. M. Pleasant. On Monday evening last at the residence of Mrs. Rachel Hudson, a social was given in honor of Mrs. Anrelia E. Allen, who left on Tuesday for New York. The evening was pleasantly spent. The following were among those who were present: Mesdames Carrie Hayward, Bertha Brown, Ella Hart, Mamie Walker, Malinda Bronsdale, Dora Bruce, Kate Harris, Maggie Anderson, Mary Smith, Z. Sallas. Margaret Hasself, and Messrs. Dan'l Jones, Joe Page, G. W. Allen. On Friday of last week a party of citizens accompanied Supt. H.M. Lofton to West End where a site for a park was inspected. The site is situated on the Augusta road, opposite Jasper Spring, about three miles from the city market. It abounds with stately pines, the ground of a rolling kind, and in all it is an ideal place for the purpose intended. The grounds are well drained, all of the underbrush is cleared, which has already given it a neat appearance. The grounds will be further laid out and divided into walks. It will be dotted with comfortable seats and swings for the children. A commodious pavilion will be built. The pavilion and grounds will be brilliantly illuminated at nights with electric lights. An artesian well will be bored and the best kind of water will be secured. A fence in keeping with the place will be erected. It is the purpose of the railroad company to make this a strictly first-class resort for the colored people, where they can go during the day and evening and while away the time. It will also be opened for pic-nics, etc. The securing of this place will be a boon to the colored citizens, for they had no other place to go on pic-nics other than by steamer, or pay a large amount to go on the railroads. Last summer they were inconvenienced and degraded by accepting the inferior accommodation of a rear concert platform at Thunderbolt. It has been positively asserted that no whiskey will be allowed to be sold within the enclosure, and it is commended. By refusing the sale of whiskey there will cause the park to become popular with the better element, and greater patronage will be derived therefrom. Supt. Lofton is thoroughly interested in the establishing of the park, and is anxious to satisfy the colored patrons of the road. Mr Lofton's interest in this direction was endorsed by those who inspected the grounds. The naming of the park was incidentally mentioned. It was the unanimous opinion of the gentlemen present that it should be called "Durham Park," in honor of Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., the popular pastor of the Second Baptist church. A more appropriate name would be difficult to find, and it would be one that the citizens at large would like. Dr. Durham is one of our foremost public-spirited citizens and deserves the honor. Those who accompanied Supt Lofton on the trip were: Rev. J. J. Durham, Profi J H. C. Butler, Jno McIntosh, Dr. J. H. Bugg, Messrs. L. G. Middleton, J. D. Savage, W. Phinizy and Sol. C. Johnson. The park can be easily reached. The West End cars coming from the city market borders it on the Augusta road. In The Beaulah Land. Mrs. Elizabeth Milliner passed peacefully away early Friday morning of last week, after a short illness. She had not been in good health for some time but was apparently recovering when she suddenly took a relapse, and borne upon the pinions of a g. s took her flight to that place of rest prepared for the servants of Go¹. While passing through this earthly existence the life of Mrs. Milliner was so beautiful, her character so pure, her Christian graces so transcendent that it is a worthy model for the emulation of others for all time to come. The native home of Mrs. Mulliner was Americus, we believe, but she moved to Macon several years ago, and it was there twelve years since, she embraced religion and has been a consistent Christian ever since. Four years ago she came to Savannah to be with her children, Mrs. Mamie Woodard, Mrs. Perlmina Jackson, and Mr. Richard W. Rogers, and cast her lot with St. Philips A. M. E. church from whence she was buried last Sunday, Rev. C. C. Cargile preaching her funeral. She was a faithful wife and loving mother, and the sympathy of all go out to the bereaved in their affliction. Just before taking her flight for the partals of glory her languishing eyes fell upon her only son (who is not a Christian) and she murnured "Poor Richard" and fell asleep in Jesus.

E. church, will ren er the following program on Sunday afternoon, beginning at 4 o'clock; Music by the choir; essay, Miss Lula Daly—Ye are the light of the world; Recitation, Mr E L.

They usually follow palpitation or fluttering, shortness of breath, irregular or intermittent pulse. When the heart muscles are overworked or exhausted theye, relax, the flow of blood to the brain is interrupted, and unconsciousness follows. Should relaxation continue completely for two or three minutes, sudden death is the result. The surest and best remedy for overworked and debilitated hearts is DR. MILES' "My heart trouble began several years ago with palpitation, shortness of breath and smothering. Then I began to have fainting spells and would fall over on the street or wherever I happened to be. I was unable to attend to my business and dare not venture away from home. The doctors failed to help me, and seeing an advertisement of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I bought a bottle. The first few doses stopped the fainting spells and in a few weeks my heart was working all right." Eskk Cown, Middleburg, N. Y.

CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM Tasiats On Original Provision—Democrats, Doweyer, Were Willing to Avolt. Further Delay, A Washington special says: Th house Monday refused to concur it the senate amendments to the Port Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup ported a motion to concar on the ground that it would avoid farther de lay in extending relief to the inhabi. fants of tho island, but the Republi: cane stood firmly behind Cbsirman Cannon in bin demand that tho house should insist npon its original provis ion to appropriate not only the money collected on Porto Rican goods up te ‘January Ist, but all subsequent mon- ‘eys collected or to be collected. _ When the Porto Rican appropria. tion bill was called up Mr. Cannon moved that the honse non-concur in the senate amendments and Mr. Me- Rae, of Arkansas, moved concurrence. ‘Mr. Cannon explained the changes made in the bill by the senate. Mr. McRae said that the essential differencé betweon the two bills as that the house affirmed the right of the United to impose the Dingley rates against Porto Rico, whereas tho senate provision upon this subject was indefinite. Members on both sides, he said, wore agreed that the duties collected on Porto Rican goods should be re- turned, the Democrats taking the po- sition that there should be absolute iree trade between the island and the United States, (Democratic applause.) Mr. Bell, of Colorado, also advo- cated. concurrence in the senate amendments, Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, and Mr. McOleaty, of Minnesota, advo- cated Mr. Cannon's motion, declaring vhot the Porfo Rican tariff 6i{( pro- posed to treat the people of the istand beiter than the people of any territory of the United States were gver treated. Mr. Swanson of Virginia denounced tho Porto Rican tariff bill as “‘infa- mous” and said the pending bill to give back the duties collected under the Dingley Iaw was an attempt to eu- gar-coat the ontrage. The power fo tix the duties on goods comiug into an going from this country was the power exercised by England prior to the revolution an dwas one of the main reasons why the colonies threw off the yoke. ‘The motion to concur was lost, 86 to 116, a strict party vote, except that Mr. Thayer, Democrat, of Massaehu- setts, voted with the Republicans, The motion to non-concur then pro- railed without division. The speaker appointed Messrs. Cannon, Moody snd McRae conferees on the part of the house, ROOT IN CHARLESTON, Sceretary of War Inspects New Fort and Fortifications.

For The Porto Rican Tarif Bill—Ts o Radical Change. Senator Beveridge, Republican, of Indiana, offered the following substi- tute for the Porto Rican tariff bill, in the Senate Monday: “All articles coming into the United States from Porto Rico or going into Porto Rico from the United States shall be admitted free of daty, but thie act shall not be construed as ex- tending the legislation of the United States or any part thereof over Porto Rico, and it is hereby declared that the legislation of the United States is not extended over Porto Rico,” - A BELOVED PRELATE, _ Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, Celebrates Bie Eighty-Fourth Birthday.

CHARGED WITH THE USOAL, CRIME After Firlog About Pifty Shots the Would- Be Lynchers Quickly Dispersed. At 1 o'clock Sunday‘morning a mot of masked men, numbering sbout 150, marched to the jail in Marietta, Ga., battered down the doors with crow- bora, rudely awakened Jobn Bailey, a negro charged with attempted rape, marched him to the center of the court house square in the very heart of the city and fired fally fifty shots at him, leaving him for dead in the spot whera he fell. Tt is not known who composed the mob, All or nearly all were masked. It is thought, however, that they camo from the country. The crime which Bailey attempted and which caused tho assault on the jail, ia not often attempted in Cobb couhty, where in the past there bas boen but little trouble with the ne- groes. Tho knowledge of what the negro bad attempted, however, stirred the people of Marietta and vicinity as that quiet country folk has not been moved in many years: * Thursday afternoon, shortly after 4 o'clock, while Miss Amanda Snell- grove, s young lady of Cobb county, was returning to her home, which is within a, mile and a half of Marietta, she was accosted by a negro man, wid mado known his purposes in unmis- takable terms, She songht to escape him, but he seized her in his grasp and sho could only stroggle and fight for ber honor as best she knew. Evidently alarmed by her screams and fearing that tho neighboring farmers might be attract- ed, the negro released his intended vinsiw and yan into ibe woods. Miss Sueligrove, faint and gick from her experience aud narrow ‘escape, made her way to her father's home and related her experience, Sundry bruises abont her head, throat and body attested the violence with which she had straggled while in the negro's grasp. , Tho relatives of the young lady im- mediately informed tho sheriff of the attempted assault and a posse within ashort timewas scouring the woods for the negrc. Suspicion pointed to John Belding Bailey and at 10 o'clock Thureday night his cabin was surround- ed, He did not resist arrest, but pro- tested his innocence. He was taken to tho Snellgrove home, where a confrontation with Miss Sueligrove ocrurred and her identifi- cation of him was complete. The ne- gro was at once conducted to the jail, where he remained until the mob stormed the place Saturday night. | SHAMROCK VIES WITH PRIMROSE Greon Largely In Evidence Throughout England On St. Patrick’s Day. A London dispatch says: Shamrock day promises to vio with primroso day in the hearts of the people, judging from the entbusissm with which the loyalists all over the Unitod Kingdom celebrated. From Windsor castle, where the queen observed the day by wearing a sprig of genuine four-leafed shamrock, to the east end of the slums of London, nearly everyone sported something in the shape of s green flag. A,word from her majesty has turned the emblem of semi-disloyalty into a badge of honor and has made the shamrock the most prized of all the plants in tho British isles. By the queen’s order, tho bells of the curfew of Windsor castle honored St. Patrick Saturday morning; Irish airs played by the Grenadiers enliv- ened the queen's luncheon, and Lon- don’s mansion house floats new Irish flog, with the Union Jack in the upper corner. Most of the government officials hoisted the Irish fag and tho clubs were similarly decorated, the oficials all wearing the green. The lord chief justice, Lord Russell of Killowen, set the example in the law contts and all the judges followed his example of wearing the shamrock below their ermine collars, OOM PAUL IS FIRM.

QUEENS VISIT WILL BE UNAVAILING In Elimnating Irish Hatred or Mitigating Practloal Grievances Against Great Britain, Ata national banquet at the Hotel Cecil, in London Tuesday evening, John Redmond, leader of the nation- alist patty in the house of com- mons, who presided, ssid ho regarded the last nine years of publio life in Ireland ae « hidoous nightmare. “Our reunion is sincere,” he con- tinued, “and there is nothing, hu- manely speaking, which the eighty- six Irish mombers of parliament can not obtain from the exigencies of the Britieh parties. It is incredible that British statesmen can be so blind to the teaching of history as to imagive that serious practical grievances can ‘be mitigated by a royal visit to Ireland or by a British celebration of St. Pat- rick’s day.” ‘Mr. Redmond denounced the war as the “most damning of which there is any record in history;” but he evoked tremendous enthusiasm when referring to the gallantry of the Irish soldiers. Edwatd Bloke, momber of parlia- ment for South Longford, who pro- posed the toast, “Ireland, a Nation,” was greeted with hostile erios. A disturbance ensued and the police were called in to restore order. ‘Amid the uproar, stewards were sent for to secure quiet, A scrimmago followed “and blows were exchanged, Alter a sharp tussle quietude was ob- tained. Later, while Edward McHugh,mem- ber of parliament for South Armagh, was speaking, » small coterie renewed the interruptions, which developed into a free fight. Many ladies were present sn became greatly alormed.. Ultimately the police overpowered the disturbers and aiseted thea. ; DEATH CLAIMS BAILEY, SERS: nae Sm NET ee ee to Wounds, John Bailey, the negro who was tak- en from the Cobb county jail at BMari- eta, Ga,, by a mob Saturday night last and riddled with ballets because of his assault upon a young lady afew days befote, died in the jail Tuesday morn- ing, and bis body was turned over to his family for burial. The exhibition of vitality shown by Bailey was simply marvelous, and the fact thathe remained conscious from the time of shooting until an hour or so prior to his death is still more won- derfal. Baily had one ball in his head back ot the ear, two in his left arm, ono in “his left leg below the knee, three in his right lung, one in his loin and one near his spine in the emall of his back and in addition to this had a large deep cut in the top of his head caused by a’blow with a piece of iron in the hands of some one of the mob, In this condition be lived for 56 hours. Bailey made ao fall confession to Sheriff Bishop and Bailey’s father Sunday, but Mr. Bishop had promised that he would not divalge the confes- sion until after his death, Bailey told Deputy Sheriff Anderson and several others that ho passed along and frightened the girl, but did not make a fall confession to them as he did to Sheriff Bishop and his fa- ther. ‘To them he confessed the crime as had been told by the young lady and fully corroborated her in every nastionlar.
