EXPRESS MESSENGER KILLED Fifteen Passengers Were More Or Less Seriously Injured Train No. 35, the Atlanta and West Point fast mail, which left Atlanta, Ga., Monday morning at 5:25 o'clock for Montgomery, Ala., was derailed eight miles south of West Point shortly before 10 o'clock and one man—Reuben J. Oslin, Atlanta, express messenger—was instantly killed, while fifteen were more or less injured. The train which moves on one of the fastest schedules, was drawn by one of the immense locomotives the Atlanta and West Point is now using and had just crossed the Oasanippa creek when for some cause the engine left the track while it was making a speed of forty miles an hour. The engine was being handled by John McWaters, of Atlanta, one of the oldest and most competent men on the road, and to his fearlessness and ability is due the fact that more deaths were not quickly wrought in the same instant which snapped off the life of Messenger Oslin. The track just over the creek has been under water more or less for some time past and the accident may have been due to a defective condition caused by that. But the impression obtaining among the railroad men is that an invisible flaw in one of the trucks under one of the cars caused the derailment. When Engineer McWaters pulled off the bridge over the creek he opened the throttle to pick up his speed. The great locomotive responded to the motion of the lever, and was just beginning to settle for quick work when McWaters felt that bumping which a trained engineer knows doesn't come from the rails. By it he knew that his engine had left the track and almost with that knowledge instantly applied his brakes. It was all done on the tick of a watch, but before the ponderous machine could be stopped the tender had torn itself loose from the engine and buried its nose deep in the ground while the rear end went high up in the air. The engine moved on a few feet and then settled itself squarely across the track, successfully blocking the road. The mail car shapped the coupler between it and the tender and with the baggage car tumbled down the embankment, going over and over in its descent. The combination car, the first coach in which there were passengers, turned upon its side, mixing those within in a confused heap, injuring quite a number. The passenger coach, left the track with its front trucks, but did not slide down the embankment, while the Pullman remained alone intact upon the roadbed. The principle is an entirely new one as advanced by the governor and attorney general and it means that the teachers will get their money at the same time they did last year. The coaches were all well filled and in a short time people began pouring from them down the embankment, some calling for help, others too badly frightened to do anything but limp away from the broken cars. Advices of Tuesday from London state that the Boers are having a little good luck and are showing some boldness again as a raiding party estimated at 400 is believed by the British forces at Warrenton to have crossed the Kimberley-Bloemfontein wagon road Monday and have headed for Jacobsdal, with the intention of cutting the railway ten miles west. A hurried investigation was made and willing hands hurriedly removed those who were unable to help themselves to places of better rest. An inventory showed that only one person had been Villed, but to the eyes of those who were about, the condition of the wounded was uncertain. Commandant Olivier appears to have got his 5,000 men and twenty miles of wagons into rugged country, where he can make an easy rear guard defense. Charles Williams, the military expert, says: A wrecking train was hurriedly and quickly made up and with physicians went to the scene of the accident. This is the identical place where a wreck occurred about four or five years ago, when several cars fell in Ossanippi creek and killed and injured a great many people. "If this column gets through substantially Commandant Oliver will have carried out the great feat of the war, seeing that he ran every chance of being ground between the upper millstone of Lord Roberts' army and the neither millstone of the broken Basuto frontier." A singular coincidence is that in both wrecks the engine and sleeping car remained on the tracks while all others were thrown over the embankment. TEXAS HAS COTTON MILL BOOM. Charters Have Been Granted For A Number of New Factories. Floor Glives Way and Five Are Thrown Into an Instrument. During the past few days charters have been issued for $100,000 cotton mills at Corsicana and Henderson, Texns. Contracts for machinery have been let for a $50,000 cotton mill at Wharton and a $50,000 oil mill at Corsicana. Seventy thousand dollars of the capital stock for a $100,000 cotton mill at Pittsburg has been subscribed; $48,000 toward a factory at Rice, and $60,000 toward a factory at Cuero. A Texas flour mill has closed a contract for 700,000 pounds monthly to be exported to London. Through the breaking down of the first floor in a factory building at New York, which was totally destroyed by fire Saturday, three firemen were killed and two injured. The men were precipitated into the basement in which were about six feet of water, and pinned under the debris. It is supposed they were drowned. Coal Miners Get Higher Wages. The. Berwind-White Coal Mining company at Philadelphia notified its miners of a general average advance of 20 per cent. V)L. XV. ALL POWERS AGREE The "Open Door" Plan as Regards China Is Successfully Initiated. Secretary of State Hay submitted to congress Tuesday the correspondence had with the governments of Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and Japan respecting the maintenance of an "open door" in China. The correspondence extended from September 6th last to the 20th instant, the last date making the successful completion of the undertaking. On September 6th the state department addressed to our ambassadors at London, Berlin and St. Petersburg copies of a "formal declaration, setting out the desires of our government in the matter of the 'open door.'" Italy and Japan were similarly addressed about a month later. While the "formal declarations" sent to the ambassadors were similar, yet each of the officers adopted a different phraseology in addressing themselves to the governments to which they are accredited, the dominant note being best set forth perhaps in Ambassador Choate's note to the British government. After reciting the importance to both governments of the matter and the president's understanding that the British settled policy is freedom of trade in China for all the world alike, though conceding certain spheres of influence by formal treaties with Germany and Russia, Ambassador Choate points out to Lord Salisbury that maintenance of this policy is alike urgently demanded by the commercial communities of our two nations in order to improve existing conditions and enable extension of their future operations. PLAN TO PAY TEACHERS. Attorney General Terrell of Georgia Resides Upon an Entirely New Method. The teachers in the common schools of Georgia, under a decision rendered by Attorney General Terrell, will get their salaries this year on time. Payments will be made from the state treasury for the two spring months of the school term, though it looked for a time as if only the salaries for one month could be paid on time. The decision of the attorney general has pointed a new and, so far as precedent is concerned, a unique way for the state to meet its obligation to the teachers. He has held that the bonded debt fund of the state may be applied to the payment of interest as well as principal on the debt. The public debt fund now in the treasury consists of the proceeds from the sale of state property, such as the old capitol building and the Okefenokee swamp, and this fund has been banked up in the treasury and kept out of circulation. The sum of $175,000 will be due as interest on the public debt on July 1st and the sum to pay this interest is now being held in the treasury. Governor Candler has suggested and Attorney General Terrell has sustained him on the point that the $175,000 due as interest can be paid out of the $235,000 in accordance with law and the $175,000 which was intended to be used as payment of the interest due in July can be used in the payment of teachers in the common schools. OLIVIER'S GREAT FEAT. Wily Boer Commandant Eludes Roberts After Being Virtually Trapped. THREE FIREMEN LOSE LIFE. Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 31. 1900. "HIRED NEGRO SHOT GOEBEL" HIS STATEMENT CREATES STIR According to Golden,Caleb Powers Was One of the Prime Movers In the Plot, F. Wharton Golden, of Barboursville, was put on the witness stand Saturday at Frankfort, Ky., in the examination of Secretary of State Caleb Powers, charged with conspiracy to murder Senator Goebel, and gave some sensational testimony. Golden was rather nervous, but did not hesitate in his replies to questions, and his testimony made a deep impression. According to Golden, Caleb Powers was one of the prime movers in the bringing to Frankfort of the mountaineers just before the assassination of Goebel, and that although Secretary Powers simply instructed him to bring "witnesses" who were mountain feudists, yet Golden understood that they were to come to Frankfort for a possible more sinister purpose, that of "cleaning out" the Democratic majority in the legislature. Golden also brought in the name of Governor Taylor in an incidental way, also the names of Culton, John Powers, Captain Davis, Charles Finley, Judge Bingham and others, the plan to bring the mountaineers to Frankfort having taken on a wider scope than was expected. Golden was seized with a slight hemorrhage during the morning and adjournment was taken earlier than the usual hour. Golden began his testimony by saying that he had known Secretary Powers for seventeen or eighteen years, also knew Culton. He was also acquainted with Governor Taylor and Captain John Powers. He said he was a good friend to all of the defendants. He was in Frankfort in January and February and saw Secretary Powers and John Powers nearly every day. He was in Frankfort on January 14th, and went to Harlem county for two or three days, from there returning to Frankfort. Golden resumed his testimony at the afternoon session. He said he saw John Powers and a red black-mustached man talking concerning the closing of Secretary Powers's office during the latter's absence. "I had my back turned," said Golden, "but when I turned I saw John Powers give the key to the man. John Powers said to me: "Goebel is going-to be killed this morning.' I said: 'This must not be done.' "Do you know a man named Dick Coombs?" asked Attorney Campbell. "I do. He is colored and lives in Beattyville. He came down with the Lee county contingent." "Did you have any talk with Caleb or John Powers about Dick Coombs?" or John Powers about Dick Coombs? "No; but they had two niggers there to kill Gobel. John Powers told me so. They were Hocker Smith and Dick Coombs. I saw Coombs at the drug store near the depot every morning for a week or so previous to the shooting. Coombs, talking to a man named Wallace in my presence, said: "D—n him, I know him as far as I can see him, and I can kill him as far as I can see him." He was talking of Goebel. "This conversation was in the adjutant general's office. Golden told a story of the events leading up to the murder, which, if substantiated, will in the minds of those connected with the presecution at least, probably go far toward proving the contentions of the commonwealth that the murder was the result of a plan in which several prominent men were involved. The testimony did not show that the alleged plot to kill Goebel was part of the original plan, nor did it contain the names of those who conceived the idea, except so far as Golden's remarks about John Powers gave the impression that the latter was one of the movers. The commonwealth sought to show by Golden's conversation with various people that not only John and Caleb-Powers, but others as well, had full knowledge of the alleged plan of assassination. Whether the defense will seek to impeach Golden's testimony in this preliminary examination is not known, as the attorneys for the defense will not talk on the subject, but unless such attempt is made the commonwealth will rest its case, both County Attorney Polsgrove and Attorney Campbell being satisfied that enough evidence has been presented to hold the defendant on the charges. MARSH SCORESLENTZ Bitter Speech Made On Floor of House By Illinois Man. Army Appropriation Bill Was Under Consideration and Debate Took a Wide Range. Lively debates covering a wide range of topics, including Porto Rico, the Philippines and the Boer war, occupied the time of the house Tuesday while the army appropriation bill was under consideration. At the outset Mr. Talbert, of South Carolina, complained of the measure's vast extravagance and replied to strictures on his course as to private pension legislation. The published interview with an unnamed Republican representative charging that the Porto Rico tariff was the result of a bargain for campaign funds was again brought up by Mr. Pierce, of Tennessee. Mr. Steele wanted to know how the Porto Rican tariff bill could be used to raise a campaign fund. Mr. Pierce replied that he could not give the exact steps, but that vast sums of money had been raised by the Republican party in 1896 from various quarters could not be denied. The contributors in one instance had even jogged the memory of the secretary of the treasury and he had not dared to resent the insult. (Democratic applause.) Mr. Lontz, of Ohio, a member of military affairs committee, discussed the evils of militarism. The expenditures for the army had grown, he said, until they now absorb one-fifth of the gross expenditures of the government. The machinery of the government costs the people now $10 per capita against 50 cents in the days of Thomas Jefferson. The Monroe doctrine under which seventeen republics had been built up south of us, was no longer to be held sacred. Turning his attention to Philippine questions, he produced an array of facts to show that the soldiers in the Philippines had no heart in the war against the insurgents and desired to return home. He challenged the president's statement that the volunteers had willingly remained after their terms of enlistment expired. He read a letter from Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, in reply to a request for the discharge of a soldier, denying the request and saying the war department was "flooded" with such applications. He read a letter from one of the medical officers serving in the Philippines calling attention to the frequency with which soldiers were being incapacitated by self-inflicted wounds and suggested the advisability of boards such as investigate cases of desertion. He also mentioned the reports concerning the alarming frequency of insanity among the soldiers. Mr. Marsh, of Illinois, replied to Mr. Lentz. He spoke with great heat. No vituperous enemy of his country, he said, could have uttered more diabolical sentiments. "I desire," he continued, with flushed face and emphatic gestures, "to characterize his speech, from beginning to end, as a disgrace to the American congress and a violation of all the deciencies of this house. He has misrepresented his country, misquoted history and misstated the position of this side of the house. "He has exhausted his whole vocabulary in unjust and false accusations against his country. And I make these statements," said he, looking at Mr. Lentz, "upon my responsibility as a member here and as a gentleman outside of this house. One of the beautiful things about the constitution," he went on sarcastically, "is that no man can be punished under the law for words spoken in debate here. So the gentleman from Ohio goes scot free, notwithstanding the false charges he has made." Mr. Lentz interposed at this point to challenge Mr. Marsh to show the falsity of the official documents from which he had quoted. Mr. Marsh replied that he had gone as far as he could in his characterization of Mr. Lentz's remarks. If he had any language at his command more emphatic, he would have used it. Continuing, he denounced the course of the Democratic party which, he said, in time of peace, was "hell for war," and in time of war, "was hell for peace." He maintained that our title to the Philippines was as complete as our title to Florida, and it was as much our duty to suppress rebellion there as in Florida. The general debate was then closed and the clerk began to read the bill for amendment under the five minute rule. Parls Show Opens April 14th. At a cabinet council in Paris Tuesday, at which M.

A Frankfort dispatch says: The most thrilling event of the examining trial of Republican Secretary of State Caleb Powers occurred Monday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock, and for a few minutes it looked as if serious trouble could not be prevented. Ex-Governor Campbell, who was conducting the examination of Wharton Golden, asked the witness to state if Powers had said anything to him about killing Breck Hill, the Democratic secretary of state. Colonel George Denny, for the defendant, in an argument upon the competency of a question, said: "It is perfectly lawful for people to come here, and to come armed. I came here several times myself." Colonel Denny was referring to the crowd of armed mountain men who assembled at the capital and camped in the statehouse yard just prior to Governor Goebel's assassination. Colonel Campbell, for the prosecution, replied that he did not consider it lawful and was surprised to know that Colonel Denny had come there armed. Denny denied having made such a statement and said that he did not come armed. Campbell insisted that he had made the statement. Both men were very much excited and spoke with vehemence and with arms shaking commenced to advance toward each other. The courtroom was crowded, and the audience evidently thought a fight was on and made a mad rush for the doors and windows, people falling over each other in their wild efforts to get out of the room. After five or ten minutes of the most exciting scene since the assassination quiet was restored and ex-Governor Brown, one of the attorneys for the defense, whispered to Colonel Campbell, who promptly arose and apologized to Denny and to the court, Colonel Denny replying in a very happy speech. On an inspection of the record it was found that Colonel Campbell had misconstrued Colonel Denny's statement. Golden, as the prosecution's star witness, again created great interest. When placed on the stand for cross-examination he said he learned about two weeks ago that he would be arrested if he did not tell what he knew about the assassination, and that if he did tell the attorneys for the commonwealth would try and save him from prosecution. ABOUT MONEY ORDERS. Transmission of Money Is Made Much Easier By Postoffice Department. The United States postoffice department has enlarged its operations, and by a method which has recently been authorized in first and second-class offices, the transmission of money is to be made much easier and more convenient. The following is the substance of a circular which has been issued: "First, to cash all money orders, irrespective of the place of payment named in such order, it being understood, of course, that the identity of the owner shall be established, as in all other cases; and, "Second, to cash any money order drawn upon such office, irrespective of the fact that the corresponding advice may not have reached the office upon which drawn." GREAT TUNNEL COMMENCED. New Yorkers Begin Construction of Their Underground Railway. With a silver spade and in the presence of thousands of persons, Mayor Van Wyck of New York lifted from an opening in the city hall square a few pounds of earth which formally began work on the underground rapid transit railway system. The ceremonies which marked the beginning of this great engineering undertaking were befitting an event of such great importance. A handsome memorial tablet bearing a suitable inscription was fitted into the opening. The underground railroad tunnel will be twenty-one miles in length and will involve the expenditure by the city of New York of more $36,000,000. The contract time for completion is unlimited and about 10,000 men will be employed. Work will be begun simultaneously at several points. SHELDON'S VENTURE FAILED. Editor of The Topeka Capital Expresses His Opinion Tersely. "The estimate placed on Mr. Sheldon's experiment will generally be that it was a failure as a newspaper and not above the average as a religious paper." So in one sentence Charles K. Hudson, editor of The Topeka Capital, sums up his opinion of Revi Charles M. Sheldon's attempt to run a Christian daily. Mr. Hudson marks his reamption of the paper's management with an editorial which indicates that the stockholders who opposed a continuance of Mr. Sheldon's policy have won the day. 5 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, months; Single Copies 5c.

Porto Rican affairs engaged the attention of the house Saturday the conference report on the relief bill being taken up with an agreement for a final vote at 1 o'clock. After a brief and spirited debate the last congressional step was taken in completing the relief bill by agreeing to the conference report by a vote of 135 to 87. The bill turns over to the president, for the use of Porto Rico, about $2,000,000 of customs receipts collected on Porto Rican goods up to January 1st last, and such amounts as may hereafter accrue until otherwise provided by law. The debate lasted but an hour, but in this time the whole range of Porto Rico legislation was discussed. Mr. McRae of Arkansas, a member of the conference committee severely criticised the general course of recent legislation toward Porto Rico, and Messrs. Pierce, of Tennessee; Wilson, of South Carolina; Cochran, of Missouri; Cox, of Tennessee; Williams, of Illinois; Ridgely, of Kansas; Lery, of New York, and Finley, of South Carolina, also opposed the report. Several of the speakers made references to a published report that the Porto Rico tariff bill was designed to secure a campaign fund. At 1 a clock a yea and nay vote was taken on the report, and it was agreed to—yeas 135; nays 87; present and not voting, 20. This completed the measure and it was immediately sent to the president. The vote was on party lines except that a number of Democrats and Independents voted with the Republicans for the report, viz: Bell, of Colorado; Chanler, New York; Cochran, of Missouri; Cummings, of New York; Davenport (Stanley) of Pennsylvania; Davey, of Louisiana; Devries, of California; Meckison, of Ohio; Newlands, of Nevada; Scudder, of New York; Shafroth, of Colorado; Thayer, of Massachusetts; Wilson, of Idaho, and Wilson, of South Carolina. The bill was signed by the president at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. BOTH WERE LYNCHED. White Mob Take Charge of Negro While Colored Continent Attend to White Prisoner. A special from Richmond, Va., says: Cotton, the negro, and O'Grady, the white man, who murdered Saunders and Walton in Greensville county Thursday, were both lynched at Emporia, a small town in that county, Saturday about noon. The negro was lynched by a mob of white citizens. The white man was lynched by a mob of negroes. The bodies of both men were strung up to trees and then shot to pieces by the mobs. There was great glee over the avenging of the dastardly crimes of the negro and white man. Cotton confessed to killing several men since his escape from the Portsmouth jail several weeks ago, in which he was confined awaiting execution of a death sentence for murder. The citizens of Emporia held an indignation meeting Saturday morning and demanded the withdrawal of the troops, which were sent by order of Governor Tyler to protect the negro and white man from summary punishment. The result was the withdrawal of the troops just before noon, and in a few minutes after their departure the mobs were organized and Cotton and O'Grady were taken from the jail and quickly lynched. EX-GOVERNOR STONE DEAD. Passes Away At Holly Springs, Miss., After a Brief Illness. Hon. J. M. Stone, president of the Starkville Agricultural and Mechanical college, a state institution, and for ten years the governor of Mississippi, died at Holly Springs Monday morning after a short illness with erysipelas. The remains were carried to Iuka for interment. Street Railway Company Donates. The directors of the Atlanta Railway and Power company met Monday morning and subscribed $750 to the guarantee fund of $15,000 for the Southern Interstate fair.

This “editor holis up his arms in holy horror against “unfairness and corrtiption,” but our friend of the Leader shows up his phatisaical action by the fol- lowing: - &Tue Baptist Trath of the 15th, published what was intended to be an uccuunt of the proceedings of the Republican convention which met here on the 7th. “For unfairness and corruption,” says Trath, “it (re- ferring to the convention) has never been equaled in the history of the Re- publican party in Geongis, and we doubt not mm any otherstate.” Then im the same strain with his stomach full of bile and his head bursting with jimjame, the writer imagines that the convention wasin agony, lu- boring with the viticeholderg. Pain- fal because the writer’s pangs of de- feat are visible in every line, and bad he been called upon to bury his friend he pogeibly could not have suffered more excruciatingly. He says, “we have abundaut evidence of the cor- tupting influence of money on the partof the muchine.” . Well, if he re- fers to the $100 note made by # gen- tlemen in Savannah, endorsed by a- nother at College, Ga., and given to a delegate from Montgomery county, and the $25 sent from College, Ga., to the chairnsan of Falton county, and many other sutns which passed in the eame way from the game party to members of the convention, tu try to control them against their and their constituents, wishes, we agree with him that the evidence is abun- dantand that the gauntlet he throws down is taken up, and “Macduff” is respectfully invited to lay on. ‘The above two instances are simply start- erg, more than one man in the S:c- ond district ‘will a tale unfold, and if the writer of The Truth article wish- es to continue businessat his old stand, we will trot them in, to his consternation and shame.” =|, And the Leader’ shows:,upi Fri- day's boss further hy saying: “Truth” throws down the gaunlet and invites the officeholders, or ma- chine as it ig pleased to call them, to takeit up. ‘e “Shall we call attention to the letter sent from Collpge to Carrol), atating that he would have uo money until February Ist. wheu he could remit, or that the Carrolltonian might call upon a promiuent gentleman of At- lanta who would advance the money for him ? and shall we print Brother S -well’s affidavit as to what the gen- tleman from Qullege actually said and did at Weet Point?

He is widely known not gimply as a mivis- ter and pastor of churchea, which stands for little, but his ability, strict integrity and high standing as u man ‘of extraordinary literary attainments, his saccessful career xs Secretary of the Sunday School Board, and his extensive knowledge of charchi affairs make him at once an individual eminently suomi to fill any sta- tion or portfolio that it is the power of the General Conference to confer, Dr. Downs who has the confidence and esteem of. both the clergy and laity of the connection, deserves the unanimoussupport of the delegations and will most undoubtedly be select- od rithout opposition.

Miss ‘Orer Tooke, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mra, M.C. Tookes is go- ing to the Ballard school in Macon, Macon hada Dewey celebration and Ashburn is going to hare a Deveaux celebration just as soon as the Colo- nel can recover from a stroke of Love-Wright fighting.

Let him turn out some more boys like Johnson and Malone and we will give him all that is due him. He must stay ut his post of daty because we might want him and he wovld be off and we would have to give the good thing to some school boy, like we did in the state convention when- we gave Wright's place to Il.

C. was made joyful by the visit of their chil- dren and grand children, recently. The Rev. L. B. Baseomb of New Market, Tenn., with his wife and two children arrived on Feb. 21. A. §. Bascomb of Beaufort, S. C., with his son arrived on March 13. J. H. Bascoinb of 'Robertsrille, 8. C., with his wiféand nine children were pres- ent. The only danghter, Mra. R. E. Primus and ‘her aix children, and uleo W. D. Bascomb of Miami, Fls., and wife could not be present which mas quite a disappointment to all. ‘They were all made glad and the home took on somewhat of its furs mer appearance. Augustus S. and son returned to Beaufort on the 18th ine where he is employed as deputy Collector of Customs. The Rev. L, ‘B. Bascomb returned to New Market on the 2th inst, where he ia enga- ged in preaching the gospel. His wife and children will retuyn later. It gives us pleasure to record the re-union of such an interesting fam- ‘ily. The Bascomb family is one of the oldest in Sonth Carolina, and Mr. Buscomb is well and favorably known, He wasa member of the legislature of his State and has ever been a aafe leader of his people. He and Mfrs. Buscomb hare been blessed in the rearing of such an interesting family, each member of which is do- ing his duty in upbuilding the race. Use of the Policeman's Clut. It isa common understanding that any violator of the law should be ar- rested, but in this city theré is a per- ‘nioious ‘persistency to use the club before an arrest is made, to subdue the violaters—especially if he is col ored. We suspect the club as a men- ace to évil doers and n_ impliment of self-defence for the official. ¢But ‘the’too frequent use‘bf it, inf thesvery Tecent past is infoleraut.aud incom: patible to sound civilization ; tliat is not always borne out hy facts justifi- able in the police court. The Dewey celebration as a ruse produced excuse for many sore heads caused by clubs in the hands of in- discreet and Negro hating officers. I don’t know the exact interpretation of the law governing the use of the policeman club, but will venture to assert, that there is no law .or con- struction of law that Jortifies police- men with the authority to ran re- peated blows on the head. of guilty or supposed guilty unfurtunates, be- fore making av arrest, or even after unless there is resistence. The colored man under arrest must walk a chalk line or he is jerk- ed about, huffed at, have hurled at him vile invectives and be made to suffer other misgivings, which will oftimes arouse resentment, even in a coward’s breast. It must be admit- ted that there are frequent occur- ‘reuces too, when it requires rigid means to take an offender in, But there is no plausible reason why a man should be clubbed half. to death in order to subdne him, which many times terminate in evil consequences to the oflicer and fatal in its resulte to the offender. A municipal governnient does not mete ont justice alike, when it al- lows its supposed peacd makers the authority to club one part of its pop- ulace into subjection, and the other part does about as it pleases. If there is'nt a check put on such dastard deeds. the hopes for fitness ‘of things we hear so much about will be as far in the rear asin the days of Darburity. White we are not clan orons of-social equality, we well de- servo criminal equality ana gon justice. «= Jonun W. Akustrosu.

Despite the inclementy of the weather the hall was crowded and a real enjoyable evening was spent which will be long and pleasantly remembered by those who were present. This club is composed of some of our solid young men and is doing much good in a social and charitable way.

After about six years of service as city physician, Dr. S.P. Lloyd resigned on Tuesday last. Dr. Lloyd is the first colored physician elected by the city and has been re-elected several times without any opposition. He has discharged his duties faithfully and has only the commendation of the authorities and his many patients. The authorities were loath to give up the doctor, but he was caused to resigned on account of his very large private practice. In resigning he will be able to pay his fullest attention to his practice which is steadily growing and largely among the best citizens. Dr. Lloyd purposes taking up a special course during the summer to be better prepared for his profession. He has not decided as to whether he will take a course in a foreign college or one in this country. After accepting the resignation of Dr. Lloyd, the mayor immediately appointed Dr. J. H. Bugg, as his successor, until a regular election is held by Council, at which time he will be undoubtedly elected. Dr. Bugg was formerly a city physician, but through some political manipulation he was not re-elected, yet he gave the fullest satisfaction possible. The ability of Dr. Bugg is well known, and his many friends along with THE TRIBUNE join in congratulating him. Her Virtues Extolled. Dear Sir: I have read with great interest from your issue of the 24th of March, "In Magnoriam", taken from the New York Age, on the death of Mrs. Celia A. Broughton. Sir, this tribute to her memory is but fitting to the noble character of one of Savannah's Negro women of her type and life in this city. It is remarkable that herself, Mrs. Alexander Harris, and Mrs Ann G. Boughes, were born nearly about the same time, became converted about the same time to Christianity, and married about the same years, and died within a few weeks of each other, and despite the environments of their home life each of them were of sterling integrity and virtue all through their lives. But what I would notice more particularly in the article from The Age is that she was one of the founders of Concord Baptist church of Christ, where she has been identified for nearly forty years as an ardent and faithful member. This is in itself a very commendable memoir of this noble sister in the love of Jesus; but like the declaration of the queen of Sheba to King Solomon "It was a true report I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom * * and behold, the half was not told." To the Christian graces and energy of sister Celia A. Broughton more than to any other individual member of the First African Baptist church of this city, belongs the credit of the erection of the edifice now standing on Franklin Square and the church of which Rev E K. Love, D.D., is pastor. She gave the first entertainments solicited the aid of the citizens and in every way possible in those times of slavery procured money to erect a new house of worship for God and His people, until she had accumulated about three thousand dollars, as the old building erected by the white Baptists, vacated and sold to Doctor Andrew C. Marshall was much decayed and dilapidated, and though circumstances advised the removal of the family from this city to Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1853, yet she gathered money and sent to assist in 1859, when she heard that the old edifice in which so many of us were taught and converted under Dr. Marshall from 1832 to that time was being pulled down and a new structure being built, and though she was then interested in Concord's work, as the writer well remember, having been introduced by her and preached for the pastor there, Rev. Dixon, on several occasions since, and seen this good sister in her warm womanly Christian zeal, can truly bear testimony to the closing paragraph of the article you copy that Mrs Broughton was an exceptional woman in character, and a typical Savannahian J. M. SIMMS. Southern Railway New York Office. Since the reorganization and consolidation of the various railways of the South in one great corporation—the Southern Railway Company—under the admirably conducted management of the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co., and the consequent presidency of Mr. Samuel Spencer, this trunk system has taken its place as one of the greatest of this country. The remarkable industrial and material development of the South, together with the developed comforts of a Winter sojourn there, have given to it an enormous passenger traffic, which year by year increases. To meet the demands and to surfer the convenience of the public, the company has recently established an up-town office at No. 1185 Broadway where the General Eastern Passenger Agent, Mr. A. S. Thweatt, is located. The office has been hand-comely and luxuriously fitted up with every accommodation for the patron of the road in the transaction of business, purchase of tickets, securing of berths, etc. These tickets may be secured to Ouba, Mexico, California, or any point in the great South and West. To an old-timer of thirty years ago, recalling the discomforts of a trip through the Southern States, the up-to-date luxury of travel over the Southern Railway and its connections is a gratifying surprise.

They usually follow palpitation or fluttering, shortness of breath, irregular or intermittent pulse. When the heart muscles are overworked or exhausted they 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' Heart Cure. "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. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold at all drugrists on a positive guarantee.

C.—"When our boy was about 16 months old he broke out with a rash which was thought to be measles. In a few days he had a swelling on the left side of his neck and it was decided to be mumps. He was given medical attendance for about three weeks when the doctor said it was scrofula and ordered a salve. He wanted to lance the sore, but I would not let him and continued giving him medicine for about four months when the bunch broke in two places and became a running sore. Three doctors said it was scrofula and each ordered a blood medicine. A neighbor told me of a case somewhat like our baby's which was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to my boy and in a short while his health improved and his neck healed so nicely that I stopped giving him the medicine. The sore broke out again, however, whereupon I again gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla and its persistent use has accomplished a complete cure." MRS. NETTIE CHASE, 47 K St., N. E. The Pernplexed Invalid. "The doctors," said a dyspeptic-looking man standing in front of a health food store, "are N. G." "How so?" asked another. "Well, they're so changeable. Now, it was a few years ago that they told me to drink hot water for my liver. They tell me now not to do it, because it will give me cancer of the stomach. Then they said that tomatoes were not fit for food. Now they tell me to eat lots of them, as it is natural calomel. That's the way it goes. They tell you to stuff yourself with one thing and then throw the switch on it." Then he defiantly bought a package of prepared oats from the health food store and said he was going home to eat some of it, because the doctor told him it "was a paste that never ought to enter the human stomach."—Indianapolis Press.

Cultop Is Alleged to Have Made Sensational Confession, Which Is Witheld. There were some startling developments in the Goebel assassination at Frankfort Tuesday. W. H. Culton, who waved examination and was held over to the circuit court, went to the Capitol hotel, where he was in conference with the attorneys for the prosecution for over two hours. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, E. E. Hogg, who is also his attorney. Culton was reported to have made a confession, but later it developed that the information gained was not as sweeping as thought. His friends admit that he gave the prosecution such information as he had and which had heretofore not come out. Henry E. Youtsey, Republican Auditor Sweeney's clerk, was arrested at noon and locked up in jail charged with being an accessory to the assassination. He is a half brother of Hon. L. J. Crawford, a prominent Republican of Newport, and detectives arrested him as the man with the black mustache whom Golden mentioned as being given the key to Caleb Power's office. Youtsey complained the prosecution had broken faith in arresting him, and it is said he is ready to make a public statement for which the prosecution is not anxious at this time. POWERS HELD FOR TRIAL. At Tuesday's session of the examining trial of the Republican secretary of state, Caleb Powers, the courtroom was cleared of all persons except attorneys, newspaper representatives and court officers. The defense announced they would introduce no testimony and tendering Governor Taylor's pardon of Powers, asked that the defendant be dismissed upon the evidence. The commonwealth disputed Taylor's right and the court overruled the motion. Bail was asked for. Judgo Moore said: "It is not my belief that Powers fired the shot which kiled Governor Goebel, but from the evidence, it is my opinion that he was connected with the conspiracy to kill him. I shall, therefore, order that he be held over without bail to the Franklin county grand jury that the case may be further investigated." Culton's counsel announced that Culton waived his examination trial and by agreement of the attorneys he will remain at home with his sick wife under private guard. Captain John Davis also waived examination and was admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. He was locked up for the night. The Democratic militia will be retained in Frankfort until after the circuit court, which begins Monday, and at which Secretary Powers and others are to be tried. LYNCHING IN MARYLAND. Negro Charged With the Usual Crime Is Swing Up By a Mub. Lewis Harris, the negro who was arrested at Belair, Md., a few days ago charged with a criminal assault upon Miss Anne McIlvane, was taken from the jail Monday night and lynched, after a brief struggle between the sheriff and the mob, in which two men were slightly wounded. RESULT OF GOEBEL TROUBLE. L. & N. Railroad Shops Being Removed From Kentucky. The work of tearing down the Louisville and Nashville machine shops at Bowling Green, Ky., was commenced Tuesday, preparatory to removing them to Paris, Teen. The monthly pay roll to the employees of the company is about $30,000. The removal is said to be due to the Goebel trouble in Kentucky. REFORMATORY FOR ATLANTA. Election Is Called For May 15th To Determine Wish of the People. At a meeting held in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday afternoon the board of county commissioners, in accord with the presentments, of the grand jury, decided to hold an election on May 15th to determine the wish of the people of the county in regard to establishing a reformatory in the Gate City for youthful criminals. The matter has been referred to the public works committee of the county commissioners and the county attorney, with instructions from the board to look after the details of the election. BANK ASSETS IMPAIRED. Cashier of Institution In Rutland, Vt., Is Asked to Explain. The doors of the Merchants' National bank, of Rutland, Vt., was ordered closed Monday, pending an examination of its books by a committee of its directors. Certain assets have been impaired, and the cashier, Charles W. Mussey, will be asked to explain certain discrepancies in the accounts. Experts are at work on the books. Season Vigorously Opened By Railroads and Activity Is At High-Water Mark. The Chicago Times-Herald says: The colonization season has been vigorously opened by the railroads which extend into southern territory, and the work of building up the south commercially is to be carried on this year on a scale hitherto unknown. Industrial agents declare that the year promises to be a record breaker for immigration to southern states and for the location of factories and industries. Activity in the phosphate mines, renewed interest in the cotton industry, the discovery of the value of cassava as a money-making plant, the knowledge that the railroads have countless sections of unoccupied and fertile farming lands, together with the renewed prosperity of the entire country, has made new possibilities for the south that were little dreamed of several years ago. The work of the Illinois Central road is a fair example for the boom that is now on. Up to the present time the road has exceeded last year's record of new factories located along the line by 80 per cent. This remarkable showing has been made despite the fact that the months of April, May and June have always proved to be the best months for prosecuting this work. In Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee there have been established a larger number of new cotton, paper and saw mills and creameries. Some of the roads whose agents declare that the rise of business is exceeding all expectation, are the Plant System, the Louisville and Nashville, the Mobile and Ohio, and the Southern railway. The Louisville and Nashville is doing an unusual amount of work in developing phosphate lands in Tennessee and in colonizing farming lands and disposing of timber lands in Alabama and Florida. Cassava plantations are becoming numerous in Florida and especial attention is being paid to inducing people to engage in this new industry. The fact that from this plant can be made starch and glucose of fine quality and that as a fattening agent for stock it has no equal, is engaging the attention of northern farmers. In Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia the Southern railway is locating large colonies and thousands are taking advantage of the homestead seekers' excursions which are run every first and third Tuesday in the month. Over 300 families have been located this spring between Danville and Richmond. At High, Point, N.C., there have been established twenty furniture factories; at Rome, Ga.; a new basket factory, and at Knoxville large hat and woolen factories. At Huntsville, Ala., another large colony has been located and many are visiting the peach belt with a view of engaging in that industry. The Plant system is developing its phosphate fields and locating factories and colonies all along its route. At the present time it has all of this class of business it can attend to and it is expected that the rush will continue throughout the summer. Several of the roads are watching with eager eyes developments in the Cuban and Porto Rican situations, with a view to being a field for colonization purposes. One or two roads have already made plans for large business in Cuba and when matters become settled there they expect to get all the business they can handle. ENGLISH OFFICERS SURPRISED. They Rode Too Far and Are Shot Down by Boer Police. At a late hour Saturday the war office in London posted the following dispatch from General Roberts: "BLOEMFONTEIN, March 24.—Yesterday Lieutenant Colonel Crabbe, Captain Trotter and Lieutenant The Hon. E. Lygon, of the Grenadier Guards and Lieutenant Colonel Codington, of the Cold Stréam Guards, rode eight or nine miles beyond their camp on the Modder river without escort except one trooper. They were fired upon by a party of Johannasburg police and Lieutenant Lygon was killed and Crabbe, Codrington and Trotter were seriously wounded. The trooper also was wounded. The Boers went to their assistance and did all they possibly could, attending to their wounds. REPUBLICS MAY AMALGAMATE. Report of Proposed Union of Transvaal and Free State Comes From Pretoria.

A fall from 42 degrees to 5 below zero throughout eastern Indiana within a few hours, Saturday, caused much suffering in the entire gas belt. The pipes were frozen and little or no fire could be had in many homes, there being no wood or coal at hand. Many homes were abandoned and hotels resorted to, while families in hundreds of cases left home and crowded into houses where there was fire. CLARK PAID FORTUNE For the Honor of Donning the Senatorial Toga. It Is Asserted That Wholesale Bribery Was Practiced and $312,890 Was Spent By Montana Man. A Washington dispatch says: Counsel for the memorialists in the case of Senator Clark, of Montana, have submitted their brief to the senate committee on privileges and elections: After reviewing the testimony in detail counsel presents the following facts in the case from the evidence advanced: First, that at least fifteen members of the legislature were paid by Mr. Clark and his agents for their votes. Second, that at least nine others were offered money for their votes and that the total amount of offers reached $175,000. Third, that $100,000 was offered by Dr. Tracy, a friend and agent of Mr. Clark, to bribe the attorney general to dismiss the proceedings in the Wellcome case. Fourth, that the agent of Clark offered Justice Hunt of the supreme court $100,000, to dismiss the Wellcome case. Fifth, that Mr. Clark and his friends engaged in wholesale bribery and attempted bribery of members of the legislature to secure the election of Mr. Clark. Much is made of the testimony alleging efforts to bribe Justice Hunt and Attorney General Nolan in the Wellcome disbarment case. "It is evident," they say, "that Mr. Clark and his friends fully realized the importance of the decision of that court in its bearing upon Mr. Clark's contest, otherwise they would not have taken a special train to bring his agents to Helena to negotiate and arrange for the purchase of that court. The fact that Mr. Clark's agent, Mr. Jesse B. Root, law partner of Mr. John B. Wellcome, paid Mr. Z. T. Cason $1,500 to leave the state of Montana and not testify before the court the circumstances going to bear out the charge* of unlawful expenditure and corrupt use of money by Mr. Clark and his agents to carry out their purpose. The offer of $100,000 to bribe the attorney general to move the dismissal of the proceedings is but another chapter of the long story of bribery and attempted bribery that marks the entire history of Mr. Clark's campaign for the senatorship from the time in August, 1898, when he agreed with Governor Hauser and others to put up $35,000 for primaries and from $10,000 to $60,000 more for the general election and as much afterwards as was necessary up to and including the $1,500 payment to Cason. Of the 95 members of the legislature (including Mr. Whitesides) 26 were sworn before the committee. "Of these memorialists say nine have taken oath that they were offered money to vote for Senator Clark; two have admitted the receipt of money, $5,000 each, after voting for Mr. Clark, but tried to excuse it. Hither by direct, testimony or otherwise they claim that the acceptance of bribes is fixed upon fifteen others. "From the proof adduced it is reasonably determinable." they say, "that in addition to the $328,000 actually paid to members of the legislature by Mr. Clark and his agents offers were made to other members, aggregating about $175,000." "HEAP TALKEE, TALKEE." Seminole Indians Visit Governor Tanner at Palm Beach, Florida. Governor Tanner, who is sojourning at Palm Beach, Fla., continues to improve in health, and is anxious to return to Illinois. The other day when three Seminole Indians were in the city and heard that the governor was a "big heap medicine man," they visited his excellency and smoked the pipe of peace. They also presented him with a bag of herbs for curing his ills and a fine Indian pipe. The governor showed his appreciation by giving each of his visitors a present, and they left with the remark: "Him good medicine man, heap talkee, talkee." LAND DISPUTE DECIDED. Georgia Secretary of State Declares Wayne County the Owner of 25,000 Acres. The 25,000 acres of land over which Charlton and Wayne counties in Georgia have been fighting during the greater part of the present century, have been declared by Secretary of State Philip Cook to belong to the county of Wayne. Under the act of the last legislature the decision of the secretary of state is final, but at the same time there is a tendency to believe that the act of the legislature in conferring on an executive official undeniable judicial powers, is unconstitutional. THE FOURTH INDICTMENT. Former Auditor Hunter Has Another Truth Bill Against Him. Thos. J. Hunter, the former auditor of the Atlanta and West Point railroad and the Western Railway of Alabama, has again been indicted by the Fulton county grand jury. The new indictment charges him with misappropriating $2,375 of the funds of the Western Railway of Alabama, alleged to have come into his hands through the company's office at West Point.
