The Published by The TREIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. MORE EVIDENCE IN CARTER CASE Convicted Captain's Father-in-Law Unbosoms Himself. HIS STATEMENTS SENSATIONAL Denies That He Furnished Any Money to His Son-in-Law and Throws Light on Conspiracy. The Atlanta Constitution in last Monday morning's issue presented the additional evidence in the Oberlin M. Carter case and the latest facts found that connect indisputably with the gigantic swindle B. D. Greene and John F. Gaynor, the contractors indicted in Savannah, Ga., and who have since found refuge in the decision of a New York judge. The tremendous import of the new evidence may be slightly estimated when it is stated that there is now in progress in congress a bill the result of which, if passed, would be to put Greene and Gaynor within the pale of the proceedings instituted against them in Savannah. The additional evidence in the case of Carter, who is now serving his sentence, is the statement of his father-in-law, Mr. Westcott, now made public for the first time. Mr. Westcott says positively he never gave one cent of money to Carter. The new evidence in the Greene and Gaynor case is the result of the splendid work of the expert bank examiner and accountant, Edward I. Johnson, who was detailed by Attorney General Griggs to assist United States District Attorney Erwin in developing the extent of the frauds charged to have been perpetrated upon the government by Oberlin M. Carter, captain of engineers, in charge of the government river and harbor improvements in Georgia. Mr. Johnson made his report to the United States attorney giving in full detail the facts brought out by the investigation carried on by him. The evidence thus brought out since the courtmartial trial of Captain Carter shows beyond a doubt the correctness of the conclusions reached in that case. The following extracts taken from the compilation of evidence submitted by the exports, indicating that the profits of the government contracts, after payment of expenses of the work and salaries of $12,000 to the younger Gaynors, were divided between the three principal contractors in thirds, are most significant: August 7, 1893—Carter issued disbursing check to the contractors, which was deposited by them, for $39,075, of which one-third, less $75 allowed for Carter's expenses to New York, is withdrawn by them, and two days later Carter invests $13,000 in bonds. November 6, 1893—Carter issued disbursing check to the contractors for $18,000, of which one-third was withdrawn from deposit, and the same day Carter invested $6,000 in bonds. December 4, 1893—Carter issued disbursing checks to the contractors, which were deposited by them, for $63,076, of which one-third, less $75 allowed for Carter's expenses to New York, is withdrawn by them, and on the same day Carter invested $21,000 in securities. January 8, 1894—Carter issued disbursing check to the contractors, which was deposited by them, for $19,575, of which one-third, less $75 allowed for Carter's expenses to New York, is withdrawn by them, and on the same day Carter invests $16,500 in securities. February 5. 1834—Carter issued disbursing check to the contractors, which was deposited by them, for $45,000, of which one-third was withdrawn in cash by them, and on the same day Carter invests $18,000 in securities. September 8, 1894—Carter issued disbursing check to the contractors for $461,075. September 11, 1894, cashed by them $152,510.15. Deposited by Carter on same date $103,022.78, and subsequently invested by him, including another collection December 4, 1894, $63,000. The foregoing are some of the divisions shown in the report, made between the contractors and Carter in the earlier operations between them, at random to show how the spoils were divided. It will be recalled that Westcott was in Europe when the courtmartial of Carter was in progress and declined to return and testify in the case. It was on the refusal of Westcoit to appear and substantiate this statement that Attorney General Griggs largely based his decision affirming the judgment of the courtmartial on the reference of the case to him by the president. V. ) L. XV. CHICAGO WELCOMES DEWEY. Amid Cheering and the Booming of Cannon the Hero of Manila Enters Windy City. Amid the booming of cannog and the cheers of hundreds of people Admiral George Dewey arrived in Chicago Monday. The special train bearing the admiral and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant Caldwell, his secretary, and Lieutenant Crawford, was met near South Chicago by a special train carrying the general executive committee of the Dewey celebration and including Mayor Harrison, President Charles A. Plamandon and the admiral's son, George Goodwin Dewey. The admiral's train arrived at the Grand Central depot, Fifth avenue and Harrison street, six minutes ahead of schedule time, 11 o'clock. The moment the white moustached naval hero was seen a roar of cheers went up from the fortunate ones inside the station and was quickly taken up by the thousands in the streets. Escorted by the members of the executive committee Admiral Dewey and Lieutenants Caldwell and Crawford proceeded down the long platform and mounted the steps leading to the driver, where carriages were in waiting. Even under the vigorous, pressure of the police, the immense crowd would hardly yield enough room for the carriages, but cheered continually and pressed closer. The police finally succeeded in clearing the street, and the party proceeded down Harrison street for the auditorium annex, where apartments overlooking Lake Michigan had been reserved. Mrs. Dewey, who was somewhat fatigued from the long journey from Washington, did not accompany Admiral Dewey on his ride through the downtown streets, but, accompanied by the special committee, Mrs. Byron T. Lathrop, Mrs. Carter H. Harrison and Mrs. Charles A. Plamandon, went direct to the annex, where she rested until the arrival of the admiral. Never in the history of the great Auditorium has there been within its walls a sight more beautiful than that revealed Monday night when the great ball given in honor of Dewey was at its height. It was the first time that Chicago has had within her gates as a guest a distinguished representative of the American navy, the first time she has been permitted to pay her tribute of honor and respect to the victor of Manila bay, and she utilized the opportunity to the full. There was nothing wanting. It was a decisive success from first to last in all details, from the decorations of the walls to the reception proper which was tendered to the admiral. QUAY ADHERENTS WRATHY. They Have a Future Reckoning In Stere For Both Hanna and McKinley. Although a bitter feeling of resentment was apparent among some of the intimate friends of M. S. Quay, after the decision in his case in the senate, it was not fully appreciated until the return from Harrisburg of Republicans who had been there to help nominate electors, congressmen-at-large and state officers, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Times. Incidentally there was to be a Quay celebration, which was turned into a funeral by the dismal spirit of the convention. Mr. Quay did not show anger, but he postponed his trip south, after he had announced his purpose to take it on the very day of the vote. A well known Pennsylvanian in Washington, holding a place because he is a Quay man, spoke with unconcealed rage about the treatment Quay had received in a Republican senate. "Just to think of it," said he, "that Quay is stopped because he was appointed, when everybody knows that there are at least ten members of the body who entered under a cloud, and one of those voting against him was charged with having used improper means to secure his seat. Yes, Pennsylvania is Republican, but it has been Democratic. If it were not for the fact that next fall Quay will be anxious to elect members of the legislature for himself, and it would be difficult to elect Republican legislators and throw the electoral ticket, I would not give a biscuit for McKinley's majority in Pennsylvania. We'll see. It's too hot now to talk about this disgusting outcome." The Georgia Democratic Executive Committee Will Meet In Atlanta. The Georgia State Democratic Executive Committee has been called to meet in Atlanta on Saturday, May 12th at 20 o'clock, for the purpose of entertaining the protest of Solicitor General W. W. Osborne of the Eastern circuit against the recent action of the Chatham county Democratic committee. The bitter fight being waged over the solicitorship of the Eastern circuit at Savannah has reached the point where a majority of the state committee believes that body should intervene. TO HEAR PKOTESTS SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 5. 1900. MINE HORROR IN UTAH TOWN MINE HORROR IN UTAH TOWN Two Hundred Workers Killed In Terrific Explosion. Within a Short Time 137 Bodies Were Taken Out, But Identification Was Difficult. A special dispatch from Scofield, Utah, says: The English language cannot describe the appalling disaster which occurred at 10:25 o'clock Tuesday morning by an explosion in mine No. 4 of the Pleasant Valley Coal company, and by which certainly 200 men and upward have lost their lives. The dispatch further states that 137 bodies had been recovered and the work of rescue is still proceeding and will continue until all the bodies are brought to the surface. There are willing hauds at work and as fast as bodies are reached they are brought down to the boarding houses and other company buildings, where they are dressed and prepared for the coroner's inquest. These buildings are numerous and in each are from ten to thirty-five bodies. When a corpse is brought out it is usually carried from the mouth of each tunnel at the respective entrances to the place of deposit. Here there is a corps of men from four to ten in number with sponges, hot and cold water in tubs and other receptacles. The clothing is first removed, the soot, smoke and powder burns washed from their faces, the bodies prepared and laid out in long robes, where they are identified by a tag with name and address attached to await identification by relatives or friends. The removal of the bodies began at 12 o'clock Tuesday and every diligence is used to get the charred and mangled remains out of the mine. Many hundreds of men have freely volunteered their services and as fast as one set or force is tired or worn out others take their places. While the stench of smoke and powder is sickening, resembling much that of a dissecting room, there are brave-hearted and brawny men of muscle who have been continuously at work since the explosion. As soon as the accident was known officials of the company at Salt Lake City and the railroad company were notified of the disaster and though the number of dead was reported lower than it really is, it would appear that everything that lies in their power has been done. M'KINLEY SLIGHTLY ILL He Attended Thursday's Cabinet Meeting. However. At Tuesday's cabinet meeting Secretary Gage made an informal statement showing that the refunding of the old loans under the new currency act was progressing favorably, about $26,000 having already been exchanged for the 2 per cent consols. There was some discussion of the subject of appointments to office in Hawaii and Porto Rico, but nothing definite has been decided upon except in the case of President Dole, who will be made the first governor of Hawii. It was announced that Secretary Gage will make another shipment of currency to Porto Rico by the first available transport. This will be $1,000,000, and will be consigned to the agents of the department who are now gathering up Porto Rican silver coins and substituting currency of the United States. President McKinley, who has been suffering from a slight attack of grip, attended the meeting. His condition is improved. Employes Were Surprised. Notice was served to the employees of the Standard Oil company at Parkersburg, W. Va., of an advance in wages, beginning May 1st. The advance will be given on the basis of allowing ten hours pay for nine hours work. Men working twelve hours will receive an increase of 10 per cent. SUGUESTION OF BLUFF. Paris Figaro intimates That We Dare Not Enter Mediterranean. The Paris Figaro, referring to the reported intention of the United States to make a naval demonstration in the Mediterranean in connection with the indemnity claims, says: "It would be interesting to know if a foreign power has the right to take executive measures against Turkey without a previous accord with the European powers which signed the treaty of Paris. If Russia has really advised Washington to use more moderation, she has acted quite within her rights. But why Russia, rather than other powers?" NINE VICTIMS HERE Bad Accident Occurs on Grounds of the Paris Exposition. Structure Had Been Condemned, But Vast Crowd Was Under It at the Time. An accident that threw a pall over the happiness of an immense throng who had profited by the magnificent weather to visit the exposition, occurred within the exposition grounds at Paris Sunday afternoon. A temporary bridge, unable to withstand the immense strain, broke. It was soon known that nine persons were killed and nine others injured. The day's attendance was the largest since the opening. Not merely the interior of the grounds, but the precincts also were crowded and the concourse was particularly great along the Avenue de Sufren, which forms the northern boundary to the grounds. Here is situated a big sideshow, the Celestial Globe. A foot bridge, on which the finishing touches were being put, crosses the Avenue de Sufren, connecting the sideshow with the exhibition. It was constructed of wood with a sinuco facade and with a plaster mate tower at each end. Strangely enough the bridge had been condemned only Sunday morning as unsafe by the exposition authorities. The public was, therefore, not allowed to go on the structure, and in this way a disaster even more terrible than that which occurred was averted. The gay crowd was passing along the avenue, and some hundred or more persons were walking beneath the bridge, when suddenly an ominous crash was heard. Before those underneath could turn aside the structure fell with a fearful crash, burying nearly fifty. A shout of horror rose from the spectators, mingled with the cries of the victims. For a moment nothing could be distinguished but a cloud of dust and plaster. A scene of the greatest excitement and confusion followed. But this was only for a few seconds. Almost immediately the crowd attacked the debris in an effort to release those lying beneath. The workmen within the grounds who had witnessed the accident, the police and the republican guards, together with quite a number of soldiers, joined in the rescue work. The promenaders forget their Sunday attire and covered themselves with dirt and grime in tearing away the rubbish with their hands. Wooden beams and poles were brought from the half-finished buildings near by and were used as levers to raise the fallen mass. The victims first discovered were mostly only the injured, the dead being found later beneath the center of the structure. STEPPED ON A MATCH. Wife of An Army Officer Burned to Death In Havana. A Havana dispatch says: The wife of Major General James H. Wilson, military governor of the department of Matanzas, Santa Clara, died Saturday afternoon from the effects of the burns accidentally received while driving with her daughter. While alighting from her carriage Mrs. Wilson stepped on a match, which ignited her dress. She was terribly burned, and although everything was done to relieve her sufferings, she died in a few hours. Mrs. Wilson was the daughter of Colonel John Andrews, of Wilmington, Del., who commanded the First Delaware regiment during the civil war. She was married to General Wilson in 1866 and is survived by three daughters, two of whom were with her in Cuba. She left the Wilson home in Wilmington in November Just to join her husband on his station and has been with him since. Riversa's Successor. Senor Perfecto La Costa has accepted the office of secretary of agriculture, made racant by the resignation of General Ruis Rivera. Senor Estrada Mora, acting mayor of Havana, will be offered the mayoralty for the remainder of the term, which will expire some time after the elections are held. HOUSE BREAKS RECORD In Passing Private Pension Bills—Other Matters Acted Upon. The house broke all records Friday by passing ninety-one private pension bills. Among them was one granting $40 a month to the widow of the late Colonel John M. Stotzenburg, of the First Nebraska, who was killed in the Philippines. The conference report on the Hawaiian government bill was adopted, 138 to 154, and the bill now goes to the president. Saturday, May 9th, was set aside for receiving the statue of General U. S. Grant presented by the Grand Army of the Republic. Subscription:: $1.25 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, 50c. for Three Months; Single Copies 5c. In Advance MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS Hold State Convention, Elect Delegates, Adopt Platform and Favor Bryan and Towne. The first state political convention of the year in Michigan was held at Port Huron Tuesday, when the Democratic representatives from seventy-seven counties elected delegates to the national convention and adopted resolutions embodying their views on the various political issues of the day. Following are the delegates at large: Daniel J. Campau, of Detroit; Thomas E. Barkworth, of Jackson; Wellington R. Burt, of Saginaw; Rush Culver, of Marquette. In addition to his own unanimous election as first delegate at large, State Chairman Campau won an easy victory in the selection of the other candidates on the state ticket which he had favored. The delegates are instructed to vote for William J. Bryan for president, and the nomination of ex-Congressman Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota, for Bryau's running mate is recommended. The platform, in part, follows: "The Democracy of Michigan pledges itself to a renewal of the struggle for equal rights and equal privileges as expressed in the Chicago platform, and so ably championed by our gallant leader in that great struggle for commercial, industrial and financial freedom. "We sincerely deplore and condemn the action of the Republican majority in both the houses of congress, and of President McKinley in refusing to be bound by the constitution in the government of Porto Rico, and of the other islands recently acquired from Spain; and in putting the United States in the attitude of having a most desotic and tyrannical colonial policy of any modern nation. "We denounce the whole Republican scheme of imperial presidential dependencies, not only as unconstitutional, but as extremely impolitic and unwise, and unworthy of liberty loving Americans. "We believe this policy has been dictated to and forced upon the administration of President McKinley by the mercenary combinations known as trusts. The trust is supreme in political as in industrial activities. In both it is an unmixed public evil. "We still endorse the movement for the historic union of gold and silver as primary money metals and in general those principles of government reform enunciated so clearly in the last national platform of the party. "We are unalterably opposed to militarism and conditions requiring a large standing army. "We are in favor of home rule for our cities; equal and just taxation and municipal ownership of public utilities. "We extend our sympathies to the citizens of the South African republics in the gallant fight they are making for life, liberty and home. "We are in favor of a federal income tax, and the election of United States senators by the people. "We condemn the present Republican administration in this state as the most corrupt and scandalous in the history of this commonwealth. "We instruct the delegates from this state to cast the vote of the state for the Hon. William J. Bryan for president. "We heartily approve of the nomination of the Hon. Charles A. Towne to the vice presidency and greet him as a native of this state, whose love of right and justice rose superior to partisanship and whose splendid ability, fearless courage and statesmanship eminently fit him to be placed by the side of our great leader as a joint standard bearer in the coming campaign." SUGAR CANE BOOMING. Big Industry Put On Foot By Northern Capitalists at Tampa, Fla. Northern capitalists, after thoroughly examining the lands in the vicinity of Tampa, Fla., organized a company for the purpose of planting sugarcane on a large scale and refining the raw material. The organization, which is known as the South Florida Sugar Planting and Refining company, has now received articles of incorporation, under the New Jersey laws. The company is capitalized at one million dollars, and has just placed $500,000 worth of bonds. A large sugar refinery is to be erected in Tampa. OUR LOSSES IN PHILIPPINES. Statement Just Issued Shows Casualties In Army of 2,250 Men. A statement just compiled by the war department shows that on July 1, 1898, when the American troops reached Manila until April 27, 1900, these deaths have occurred: Killed and died of wounds, 43 officers and 552 men; died of disease, 26 officers and 1,635 men. Total, 69 officers and 2,187 men; grand total, 2,256. NO 30 BOILERS BURST; FIVE MEN DEAD Horrible Accident Occurs In Saw Mill at Cecil, Georgia. Many Houses In Vicinity Almost Wrecked--Loss of Plant Cecil, Ga., a small town on the Georgia Southern and Florida railway, seventeen miles north of Valdosta, was the scene of a terrible boiler explosion Monday morning at 5 o'clock, as a result of which five men are dead and six hurt, three of them fatally. The accident occurred in the large saw and shingle mill of J. N. Cray & Co. Work had only fairly commenced for the day and but a few employees were at their posts, when, without warning and with a terrible roar that shook the whole town, the two main boilers burst, throwing a third boiler, which stood beside them, to a distance of more than 200 yards and the roofs of three houses near by were torn off by flying timbers. The mill was torn into kindling wood and it is a miracle that a single man escaped with his life. When the dust had settled work was begun on the heap of splinters that a few minutes before had been a well equipped sawmill in full operation and in a short time five bodies were taken out of the wreckage and laid aside, while every effort was being made to relieve the living. Hero and there a head or an arm was to be seen, the rest of the body being hidden under the timbers. After about two hours of hard work all were taken out and the list of the dead and wounded was found to be as follows: Killed—Luther Clare, engineer; Hugh Chambers, fireman; Guy Nicholson, Will Houston, Jack Haslam. Fatally injured: J. C. Raines, J. J. Allen and Wesley McPhaul. Slightly injured: Frank Sims, Zao Agee and Octavus Smith. It is said that some children playing about the mill on Sunday turned off a valve which cut the safety valve off from the boilers and the steam rising rapidly was unable to escape. It is reported from another source that the night fireman allowed his water to get low a few nights ago and burned the boilers, for which he was discharged, but the damage was considered small and may have had nothing to do with the accident. Those who were in position to know claim that the boilers had plenty of water in them when the accident occurred and the middlesome play of a child is very likely responsible for the whole thing. Portions of the mill and machinery were blown all over town and several houses were badly damaged, though fortunately no one outside was hurt by the flying debris. Pieces of timber twenty feet long were blown through the walls of residences several hundred yards from the mill. The scene of wreck and ruin beggars description. The mill is a complete wreck, portions being scattered for several hundred yards around and half of one of the boilers is lying 200 yards from the scene of the accident. Mr. Bray had no insurance against explosion and the loss of between $10,000 and $15,000 is complete. Had the explosion occurred a few minutes later, when all the men were in the mill, the loss would have been half a hundred lives. Conferees Cannot Agree. The conferees on the Perto Rican bill providing for the appointment of temporary officers in the island have determined to report a complete disagreement. Johnson Quita His Job. Claude M. Johnson, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing at Washington, has tendered his resignation to Secretary Gage. Towns Destroyed by Forest Fires. The town of Arnold, Mich., has been wiped out by the forest fires. This makes the fourth town destroyed. Much anxiety is felt for small towns in Menominee county along the Northwestern, Wisconsin and Michigan and Northern roads. Veteran Journalist Dead. Frank Davidson, one of the most widely known and best liked newspaper men in the country, died in Chicago Tuesday night, aged fifty-six. For many years he was one of the principal editors, in the New York office of the Associated Press and later served in a similar capacity in Chicago. The Savannah Tribune. The Savannah Tribune.

A MAN with proper training will treat another with due courtesy under any and all circumstances. OUE white friends are having a warm time over their political position. We can afford to view it with much serenity, and draw beneficial conclusions. IF certain ones of our female knew that they are important factors in the development of the moral status of our race, they may be constrained to act better. Every young man can assist in bringing about this understanding. We have much contempt for the man who says that he never has time to read, especially when it is known that he is not telling the truth. Some generally say this when they are requested to subscribe for a colored paper. Next month the republican national convention will meet in Philadelphia and nominate the President for a second term. He will be elected without doubt. In the present condition of things, the people will not trust the destiny of this country in the hands of the democratic party with its populistic tail. Our young friend, Mr. John A. Lockett, has been selected as editor and manager of the Baptist Truth. This places Mr. Lockett as the youngest editor in the State, and he will prove himself not the least. He is an energetic young man, and no mistake was made in his selection. THE TRIBUNE extends congratulations to him and express a hope for his success in the journalistic fields THE General Conference of the A.M. E. Church will commence its session on Monday at Columbus, Ohio. This will be the largest and most interesting conference ever held by the church. The conference will continue in session for several weeks. Much interest is being manifested in the election of Bishops and General officers. For months an active campaign have been conducted by the several candidates. It has been reported that the colored man named Thomas, who is accused of committing an assault some time ago at Hardeeville, S. C., and who is now confined in jail at Beaufort, has been denied the privilege of securing legal advice. It is hoped that this report is untrue. No man, matters not how heinous the crime, should be denied the opportunity of defending himself. Although we are totally against lynch-law, yet it would have been far better to have lynched him than to carry him through a farce trial. The laws of the State and justice demand that he be allowed counsel and this should be given him at all hazzards. Cohl. Henry P. Farrow of Gainesville has been spending a few days in our county, at Porter Springs, and while we have not seen him yet we learn from others that he is emphatically in favor of such action by the republican party in this state as will bind all true and loyal republicans in Georgia to support the state ticket which has been nominated by the populists. His position as we understand it is the democracy having proclaimed that no colored man shall have any voice in ourgovernment and the populists having "declared in favor of a free ballot and a fair count and pledging the party if it gets into power to the enactment of laws securing this to every legal vote" it is the duty of all republicans without regards to color, to support the populists on that issue. We learn that he does not call for any fusion but for what might more properly be called a "co-ordinate movement." He says the platform upon which the populists have nominated their ticket emphasizes the fundamental principle, of the republican party that ours is a "government of the people by the people, and for the people" and that the colored race is a part of the people. He says that the issue thus joined between the populists party and the democracy and the right of all the people to have a voice in their government makes it entirely advisable for the republican party to nominate as its nominees the gentlemen who stands upon that platform, and in that event that loyalty to the party would imperatively demand their support of that ticket.—From Dahlonega Nugget April 20th, 1900. [Portrait of a man in a military uniform]. No man in Georgia has occupied a more unique space in the mind of the public than had Dr. Love. Able, sagacious, energetic and with much power of will, he controlled a large following. His funeral was largely attended: the arrangements for which was very elaborate. The family of the deceased, and the members of his church has the sympathy of the public in their bereavement. A Loyal Membership. All of the citizens sympathize greatly with the members of the First African Baptist church in the loss of their pastor. All of the services during the week were largely attended and the members are determined to be as faithful as ever. There will be no minister in charge of the church, but it will be directly under the control of the officers, who will call in different ministers from time to time to supply the pulpit, as they think best. In some quarters it has been bint-ed that certain ministers are being considered for the pastorate. The officers resent this idea in toto, and declared that they have not given this the least thought and will not for months to come. The entire energy of the officers and members are now centered into raising means to pay off the church debt, and it is declared that no pastor will be called until these debts are cleared. It is hoped that with the large membership and the loyalty of the members, every one of them will go to work with a vim and pay off every bill that is due. The State Convention is to meet with the church on the 6th of June. After the death of the pastor, it was decided to request it to meet elsewhere, but the officers at a meeting on Monday night changed their views and will take care of the convention. They do this because they think that by meeting here it will benefit both the college and the convention. The citizens will assist them in caring for the convention and in making it pleasant for the delegates, and in fact the citizens are deeply interested in the welfare of the church, and will help the members in their struggles. The officers are so far very much pleased with the loyalty of the members. Mr. S. S. McFall is the senior deacon, being a gentleman of wide experience and sagacity, with the cooperation of the other officers, will endeavor to manage affairs to the satisfaction of all. Trials of a Paper-Borrower. Here is the latest story of the man who is too stingy to take his home paper, says the Kansas City Journal. A man who was too economical to take this paper, sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees and in ten minutes hooked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and running a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing of the racket the wife ran, upset afour gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. In the hurry she dropped a $7 set of false teeth. The baby left alone, crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor, ruining a brand new $30 carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calves got out and chewed the fails off four fine shirts. The revival meetings at the First Bryan Baptist church are very interesting. It is expected that there will be a large number of converts for baptism on the 4th Sunday. For a number of years a song service was conducted on Sunday afternoons at the First Congregational church, but was discontinued about a year ago. While these services lasted, the young people attended in large numbers and it had a tendency of helping in this respect. Ever since the services were suspended these young people have been anxious for a continuance, and many requests were made in that direction. The officers of the church becoming aware of the sentiment acted favorably upon, and the church at a meeting this week approved the same. The services will begin on tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock and will last one hour. The young people of the city are desirous of having some place to go about this hour on Sunday afternoons and they can spend it profitably by attending these services where only uplifting thoughts will be expressed and inspiration given them for a better life. Y. M. C. A. Services. Despite the inclement weather on Sunday last, the Young Men Christian Association held a very interesting meeting at their rooms in Fords Opera House, and quite a, number was in attendance. This association contemplates at a very early date to be in permanent quarters, where they will have "Open house" at all times for their members and friends. Arrangements are now being perfected to that end, and the young men should be encouraged in this good work. On to-morrow evening at 5 o'clock their regular Sunday meeting will be held. Rev. J. J. Durham D. D. and Dr S. Palmer Lloyd M. D. have been invited, and doubtless will speak at this meeting. The Leading Clothiers. The leading clothing dealers in the city are Messrs B. H. Levy and Bro. They have one of the finest and most varied stock of goods in the south. The price is moderate, and every customer is treated with uniformed courtesy. The clothing department is replete with suits, etc., of the latest fashion. A perfect fit is guaranteed to every customer. The ladies' department is well stocked and with every thing to suit the trade. This firm is headquarters for military goods. Uniforms for officers and privates can be furnished with better satisfaction than by any one else. Money can be saved by ordering uniforms from them. When anything is needed by the military men, let them call on this firm. --- We have received the third number of volume one, of the Independent, published at Hawkinsville, Ga, with Rev. W. O. P. Sherman as editor. Rev. Sherman is an able divine of his church and a thoughtful writer, and there is no reason whatever for the paper to do other than succeed. For Philadelphia. The Central of Georgia, Railway Company is arranging a rate for delegates and persons desiring to attend the Republican National Convention on June 19th by way of New York on its fine Ocean steamships. The rate will include meals on the steamships, with stop-over privileges at New York. The fare will be announced later. The pic-nic season has begun. The TRIBUNE is the place to have your printing done. Mr. B. J. Pearson, an excellent young man, gave us a call this week and left his subscription. He holds a responsible position with the Medical Supply Dept. of the U. S' Army stationed here. We wish him well. Mr. L. S.

Through your paper I wish to call the attention of our race as far as possible to the fact that the Census Bureau is planning to make a special effort during the taking of the Census in June to find the exact amount of property of every description that is owned by the Negro race. This means a great deal to us as a people, as we will be very largely judged by the world by the result. It is of the utmost importance that each individual member of the race in every part of the country begin at once to make a careful list of the amount and value of the property that he owns so as to be ready to give it at once to the Census take. It is also important that as far as possible ministers and teachers should call the attention of the people to this matter as far in advance as may be thought best. Booker T. Washington.

EDITOR SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. Please allow me space for the following: Myself and Mrs. Thomas had a very pleasant stay for a few days at Montezuma, Ga, with our very dear friend, Mr. A. L. Felton, who is a very nice gentleman indeed, and Mrs. Thomas is so stuck on Montezuma and Mrs. Felton that I don't see how I am to keep her from running away and going over there to stay. Myself and Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Felton and Mrs. McDonald went out to Philiptown to a Sunday school Convention that was in session of which Prof. S. S. Humbert, the silver-tongued orator is president. While there I met Mr. Matthews, the newly appointed Storekeeper and Gauger, who is in Montezuma for a week looking after Uncle Sam's business. No sooner than Prof. Humbert see us than he booked each one of us for a speech, and of course we did the best we could for the interest of the school. The program closed about 2 p.m. after which there was a table prepared filled with the good things that the people of Montezuma and Macon county know how to prepare, and each of us did our part to the satisfaction of all concerned. Montezuma and Macon county have many good citizens that are thrifty and enterprising. District Deputy, H. P., S. G. Webster of Sarannah, accompanied by Mrs. E. W. Sherman came over to Hawkinsville before I left for Montezuma, and established an order for the ladies connected with masonry known as the Court of the Heroines of Jericho, with the following officers: Mrs. Mattie E.

Addie Habersham and Mr. Robert A. McNichols was solemnized at the home of the bride, on Montgomery street, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J. W. Whittaker, pastor of the First Congregational church, of which both the contracting parties are members. The marriage was somewhat premature, it being the intention of the couple to wed next fall, but as the sister of the bride, Miss Fannie Habersham, is in rapid decline and it being her desire to see her sister married and settled before her death, all pre-arranged plans were changed in deference to her wishes, and on last Thursday night her dying wish was realized, when, in her bed room, she witnessed her sister's marriage. She had been unconscious most of the day but as the hour for the ceremony approached she rallied sufficiently to realize what was transpiring. The bride and groom are popular young people and have many friends both white and colored, who are extending their congratulations and bidding them bon voyage over the sea of married life. Besides the family, only a few of the most intimate friends of the bridal couple were present on account of the precarious condition of Miss Fannie. The bride looked bewitchingly beautiful in her wedding trousseau as she and the groom came into the parlor after the wedding ceremony and was the cynosure of all eyes. THE TRIBUNE joins the many friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for their future prosperity. Orator of the Occasion. Orator of the Occasion.

He paid all of the expenses of the entertainment and turned over to the treasurer of the hospital $25 80. Mr. Golden is an earnest worker in everything he undertakes.

The warnings may be faint and brief, or may be startling and extend over many years, but they are none the less certain and positive. Too often the victim is deceived by the thought, "it will pass away." Alas, it never passes away voluntarily. Once installed, heart disease never gets better of itself. If Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is used in the early stages recovery is absolutely certain in every case where its use is persisted in. "For many years I was a great sufferer from heart disease before I finally found relief. I was subject to fainting and slinking spells, fullness about the heart, and was unable to attend to my household duties. I tried nearly every remedy that was recommended to me and doctored with the leading physicians of this section but obtained no help until I began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. It has done me more good than all the medicine I ever took." MRS. ANNA HOLLOWAY Geneva, Ind. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is sold at all druggists on a positive guarantee.

According to a special dispatch from ‘Thaba N’Chu, dated Sunday, the Brit ish troops, now that the adjacent coun- try is clear of the Boers who trekked hurriedly in the direction of Ledy- brand, will recuperate for @ short period, The Standard’s special correspon- dent at Bloemfontein, telegraphing Sunday evening, says roports have just been received that the Boers are retiting to the north of Ladybrand. ‘Their horses age exhausted and they themselves disappointed over thoir failure to capture Colonel Dalgety’s position, The British Cavalry who were pursuing the fugitive commag- does are returning to Bloemfontein. ‘Widow of Late Banker Dissatisfied With Provisions of Will, Dissatisfied with the provisions of the will of her husband, Mrs. Mary Rucker, widow of the late J.

If you want to camp out you can get an open berth ticket for $52, The German Hine goes through the Mediterranean, stopping at Lisbon, Naples, Zanzibar and other ports. The British and Co- Jonful boats gail every two weeks from London, as do the Aberdeen boats, but these latter go direct to Port Natal. Before the war you could get tickets adirect from London to Johannesberg via Natal, but you can't now. The faro was $254 first-class, $162 second and $103 third, with a 10 per cent. tess rate by {intermediate boats. When you have got to Cape Town you will find railroad travel expensive and Alstances about as stretched out as in the United States. “For Instance, it 1s 1,014 miles to | Jobannesberg, and It costs, first-class, $57 to get there, or nearly six cents 2 mile, double the usual rate In this country, Second-class was $30 and third $21, Time two days.
