ous attention; and he quiekly turned back to the reading every time. In this way he read paragraphs and even pages of Nasby. until finally a dispatch was brought in of a more important nature, and he laid the pamphlet down to at tend to it. "While he was thus engaged Mr. Stanton motioned to me to come with him into General Eckert's room, and when the door was shut he broke out in fury: -God damn it to hell',' said he. -Was there ever such nonsense? Was there ever such inability to appreciate what is going on in an awful crisis? Here is the fate of this whole Republic at stake, and here is the man around whom it all centres, on whom it all de pends, turning aside from this moment ous, this incomparable issue, to read the God damned trash of a silly mounte bank!' "-This fiery speech of the enraged Secretary was interrupted by General Eckert, who had another telegram which he showed to him, and with which we all went back into Mr. Stanton's own office, in order that the President might see it. "Hardly had he began to read it, how ever, when a new occasion of irritation arose. The messenger brought in a card and handed it to the President. who said at once, as he passed the card over to the Secretary. 'Show him in!' Stanton read it and turning to me, ex claimed in a low voice: 'God in heaven, it is Whitelaw Reid!' I understood the point of this explosion at once. Mr. Reid, who was then the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette and a great friend of Secretary Chase in Washing ton, was not liked by the Secretary of War. This dislike had gone so far that the doorkeepers at the War Department had received directions that Mr. Reid was not to be admitted. But when he sent his card in to the President they could not refuse it. Mr. Reid came in and was greeted by Mr. Lincoln, but not by the Secretary. His purpose was merely to obtain from headquarters and from the highest authority the assurance. that the election had certainly gone in favor of Lincoln; and after expressions of thanks and congratulations he with drew. Just then Judge David C. Car ter came in with two or three other gen tlemen, among them Mr. Fox of the Navy Department, and the reading of Petroleum V. Nasbv from the Con federate Cross Roads was not resumed. 'These incidents of a memorable his torical event are not recorded in any annals of the time that I have seen; and yet they appear to me interesting and characteristic enough not to be forgot ten." THE CHEROKEE NATION. All the Half-Breeds Who Remain in Georgia to Emigrate to the Nation. CHIcAGo, September 19.-A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says: Mr. A. E. Ivy, of the Cherokee Nation, is in the city, as ambassador to secure the emigration to the nation of all half-breeds who re main in Georgia. It is over fifty years since the Cherokees removed from Geor gia, but many who had formed white alliances were left behind, and their children ate among the most substantial citizens of the State. Mr. Ivy says that the Cherokees have resolved upon main tainining their existence, and wish to increase their number by the addition of all who are willing to return to the old tribe. In a few weeks seventy-five half-breed families will leave for the na tion, to be followed later by still others. THE RAITTS SPREAD. A Passenger Train Tumbles Down an Embankment With Fatal Results.

J., September 19. -Court did not open this morning for the continuation of the trial of Mrs. 'Eva Hamilton for atroci"ous assault upon Nurse Mary Donnelly until 10:40 o'clock. The delay was caused by the detention, through an accident to another train from Atlantic City upon which were the Judges, attorneys and others officially connected with the case. When the jurors had taken their seats, Judge Reed said: "Sheriff, bring in the defendant " The Sheriff stated that the defendant, Mrs. Hamilton, begged to be excused from appearing, on account of serious illness, and the Judge allowed the case to proceed. Then Captain Perry, counsel for the defense, began his argument. He said he hoped the jury would frame their -verdict according to the testimony, in dependent of newspaper reports or other influences, lie closely reviewed the cir cumstances which led up to the assault, and argued that the testimony showed clearly that Mar-y Ann Donnelly, the nurse, was the first aggressor, and that she forced Mrs. Hamilton to pick up the knife in self-defense. She had threat ened to kill her mistress; she was hot tempered and fronzied with brandy, and she assailed Mrs. Hamilton with murder ois intent. M.~v's LAxDIx'a, September 19.--The jury, after being otut an hour and-a quarter, came in at 3:15 and retturned a verdict of --guilty as iniiicted" (of atro eiouis assault.) Mrs. Hamilton was led into the court room by the Sheriff, and when the fore man of'the jury dleclared the verdict she fell. in a swoon on the floor. It was a most dramatic scene, and brought tears to almost every eve in the court room. She was sentenced to two years jn State's prison. California Southern Nethodists. FREsNo, Cal..

PNEVILLE., Ky., September 20.-Gov. Buckner has issued a proclamation to the law-abiding people, explaining why be has ordered the State militia to Har Ian County, the scene of the Howard Turner feud. In it he said: -You must discharge your duty as good citizens to show that you deserve to be sustained. If you refuse to dis charge your duties as good citizens, you - have no right to ask others to discharge those duties for you. I call upon you, therefore, to respond promptly to the summons of the civil authorities, to obey them implicitly in their attempts to arrest and bring to speedy justice, or, if resisted by force, to shoot down, un der the otders of the civil authorities, the assassins who threaten in your midst the peace and welfare of society." - The troops are now marching toward Harlantown, thirty-three miles from here, across the Cumberland Mountains. The Howard-Turner feud began fif teen years ago. William Turner, the father of the numerous family of that name, was a very wealthy man and owned several thousand acres of land in the County, on a part of which Harlan town was built. He and some of his relatives became involved in a difficulty with Mr. C. Hurst, a prominent lawyer, over a client of the latter's. Hurst 'was killed, iceiving a dagger in his heart from the hands of Turner himself . or one of his henchmen. Exasperated at this act, for Hurst was a popular and esteemed gentleman, some of the most prominent citizens, among whom were the Gilberts, - low ards, Halls, Deys and Spurlocks, arose, with William Gilbert, a wealfhy citizen, at their head, and, by the aid of money and influence, had the guilty parties brought to justice and given a life sen tence in the penitentiary. The Turners swore, revenge against William Gilbert, and one court day two years afterward, while talking to a friend, Gilbert was shot from ambush by young Will Turner, son :of Gerge B. Turner. He was indicted for the mur der, but proved by a woman that he was at her house at the time, and was cleared. The womah, Susan Langford, was at the same tin-e in love with Will How ard. Young; Turner did not like this and one day he whipped young Howard. There was no love lost between the two families before and this act widened the breach. War was declared. Some time after ward Wick Howard, cousin of Will, got in a row with Bob Turner, a brother of Will Turner, and Bob was killed. Peace reigned for several days after this. Then, by prearranged plan, the male members of both families met at Harlantown to settle the trouble. Both clans were armed. E pitched battle en sued and Andrew Bailey and John Bailey, innocent bystanders, were killed. Two Turners were wounded. The next fight took place in June last. The Turners took possession of the Nolan brothers' store. The Nolans, supported by the Howards, armed themselves, and a-:pitched battle took place in the street. Several were wounded. The Turners then took refuge in the court house, and being strongly armed and well pro vided, endured a two weeks' siege, in which several persons were wounded, including John Howard, a brother of the notorious Wilson Howard. Finally atruce was declared and the ers retired from their m si * da T -"urner, the only , lxse who had been. -te earlier 'tages of the fend, encountered "nHwr in the woods a short distance from Har lantown. They opened fire at once, and after exchanging thirty shots at each other, Wilson Howard rode away se n -onsly wounded, leaving his antagonist .dead in the woods. At the news of this Judge Lewis or ganized a strong posse, in which were several of the-Turner faction, and started aidtto find Howard. He was with sev eral of his gang, and they were no sooner discovered than they were fired upon -the pos'se. The Howards returned tl lr, and two more of the Turners and a henchman named Shurlock were killed. Since then there has been no further bloodshed, but the hot embers that are smoldering in the bosoms of the two factions are only awaiting a faint breath to fan them into a flame. Wilson Howard, .the leader of his fation and -the slayer of the three Turner brothers, has not yet been ar rested. A reward of $(;,400 awaits his captors . He is reported to be in the mountains South of Harlantown, surrounded by a vigilant band, and will die . before he will submit to arrest. STANTON AND LINCOLN. Mr. Dana Describes the Evening After -Lincoln's Second Election. Sunday's New York Sun contained the following editorial by Mr. Dana: "In the last number of the Century -Magazine Messrs. Hay and Nicolay nar rate their idea of what happened at the War Department on the evening after the second election of President Lincoln in 1884. As they were not present their report must ibe a matter of hearsay. I do not know that any of the particulars they relate are deficient in accuracy. though I can testify that while I was there at that time I~ did not observe them. "I was not usually on duty in the War Department at night; but Mr. Stan ton had dir-ected me to come over that evening, and I arrived pretty early, say at 8 o'clock or half past 8. The Presi dent. apparently as serene as a summer morning, was in Mr. Stanton's large pri vate room, and no one was with him except the Secretary and General Eckert, who came continu allly with telegrams. The result of the voting was of such a decisive charne -ter that the news arrived much earlier than had been expected; and when 1 went in, I learned from both the Presi dent and tihe Secretary that the question seemed already to be substantially set tled. Each dispatch that was received seemed only to add to the apparent cer tainty; and by about 9 o'clock there was no longer any doubt. But without wait ing for that hour, Mr. Lincoln drew from his breast a thin yellow-covered pamphlet. 'Dana,' said he to me, 'have you ever read anything of Petroleum V. Na.4yvr pronouncing Nasby as though the first syllable were spelled with the . 'letter e.

TIED TO HER CHILDREN. HEROIC CONDUCT OF A CAPTAIN'S WIFE ON A SINKING BARK. She Stood on Deck with a Babe Lashed to Each Arm, Awaiting the Final Plunge, But Rescue Came When Hope Was Gone. NEW YORK, September 19.-Thrilling tales of shipwreck and disaster, of he roic battles for lives and vessels against the howling winds and furious waves, of a woman's noble heroism and devo tion to her little ones and her daunt. less skipper husband amid all the hor rors of shipwreck, were related yester day by an army of gallant sailors who have valiantly fought the terrible storm which has just swept our coast. The storm has now spent its fury, and the advance guard of the storm-battered fleet made port yesterday with the first accounts of the storm at sea. It num bered nineteen steamers, two ships,. four barks, one brig and one schooner. A little band of shipwrecked mariners was rescued by the steamship Yemas see, which got in from Charleston yes terday after a terrible struggle with the storm. The rescued party consisted of Capt. J. P. Buil of the Norweigian bark lisvlvia, his wife, a young woman of rare courage, their two little children, a boy and a girl, and thirteen sailors. They were exposed for two days and two nights to the fury of the elements, every minute anticipating that a wave would sweep them from their water logged craft. They were picked up just as they had abandoned all hope of res cue. Captain Bull told his story, while his brave little wife nursed his wounds as he lay in a berth on the Yemassee. On the morning of September 3. the Alsylvia weighed anchor at Perth Am boy and sailed for Copenhagen. For four days fair-weather prevailed, but on the afternoon of Saturday, September 7. dark threatening clouds obscured the horizon, the barometer began to fall very rapidly and the wind freshened. As the night came on it became dark and cloudy. The barometer was still falling, and every hour the wind, which was from the East-Northeast, was in creasing in violence. About 10 o'clock Sunday night the storm had increased to a wild hurricane. The ship was now in longitude 70 and latitude 30. Captain Bull decided to heave to, hoping for some abatement in the storm. A ter rible sea was running and giant waves were making a clean sweep of the ves sel's- deck. Monday the storm contin ued. The heavy battering which the vessel received from the waves be'gan to tell and she began to leak. Pumps were started, but the water increased rapidly. Tuesday morning the pump wells were sounded and disclosed nearly three feet of water in the hold, and it was fast in creasing. Capt. Bull concluded to head for shore, and all Tuesday, under bare poles, he scudded before the hurri cane, blindly making his way for land in case he should have to abandon his ship. Amid the hurricane's wild roar his vessel nearly waterlogged, the lights of the Five-Fathom Bank Lightship were dimly visible early Wednesday morning. The vessel now had over ten feet of water in her hold. Her decks and cabins were almost a complete wreek, and every one aboard was exhausted from ex posure. To lighten the ship and to try to keep her head up to the wind Capt. Bull cut away the fore and main rig ging. This did not help matters much. The ship's deck was almost flushed with the water and the crew endured untold hardships. That night the cabins were entirely flooded and Mrs. Bull and her two little children'had to go up on the poop deck, while +he captain and his men bravely tried to keep their vessel afloat until as sistance came to them. After a wild and weary night, (luring which the seas constantly dashed over the unfortunates, compelling Mrs. Bull to lash a child to each of her arms, while they grimly faced their fate, Thursday morning dawned and foutnd the Alsylvia ready to sink at any moment. Although the wind and sea had moderated onlv a trifle, Captain Bull launched his two boats and all hands left the vessel. They set signals of distress and rowed a short distance from their ship. Hope at last came to them. Away in the distance a steamer was sighted bear ing down upon them. It proved to be the Ycmassee. Both boats rowed towardl the steamer and after a most pertlous trip reached her in safety. Mrs. Bull and her two children were so weak from hunger and exposure that they could hardly speak when they got aboard the Yemassee. A BRAVE LITTLE WIFE. She and Her Husband Haven't Any Money, but They Have Pluck. NEw YORK. September 18.-A mild eyed little Austrian and his gypsy-faced wife, who was attired somewbat pris matically, were called b&fotre the En.i gration 'Commissioners yesterday to give an account of themselves. They arrived from Hamburg yesterday without a cent to start life with in the new world. But the little man had a trade 'glazing) and what was more iniportant, a very ener getic partner. 'What are you going to do if we let you in?" asked President Ridgway. "Work at my trade," said the glazier through Interpreter Silverstein. "Suppose you can't find work, what then?"' The glazier's mild eves assumed a puzzled expression, and he turne-d ap pealingly to his bright-eyed wite. Sue became voluble right away. -Oh," she said, "hei will get wvork. I will help hIm to find it. And if he doesn't get it, I will. I am a seamstress. Never fear, we will Iindl work." 'But suppose neither of you shoul find work, how are youi going to get along?" "God will help us. then." "But," said Commissioner 'Wylie, laughingly, "He has no office here. "Ah," said the woman, with a tri umphant smile, "Hie is everywhere." "You couldn't prevent that woman from getting along," President Ridgway remarked, adImiringly. The Commissioners decided to post pone decision on the case of the glazier and his confident helpmeet untill the DID SHE KILL HER HUSBAND? Mr. Morris's Death Was Sudden After His Wife Administered Chloroform. REIDSvILLE, N. C., September 16. The Corner's inquiry into the death of i. E. Morris, a well known merchant, was resumed to-day. Mrs. Morris ad mits having administered a small por tion of the chloroform which caused her husband's death. She says he then asked her to leave the room as he wanted rest. Half an hour later Mrs. Morris told the cook to go upstairs to her hus band's room and see if he was asleep. The woman returned and said Mr. Mor ris was dead, but the wife told her she was mistaken, and that Mr. Morris was asleep. Sam, the hostler, was sent up stairs by the cook, and returning re ported that his master was dead. Mrs. Morris said he, too, was mistaken. The la ut.dress finally went upstairs and made a similar report on her return. Mrs. Morris said it could not be, but did not go ups:airs herself. Sam went for a physician and told some friends on the way that his master had died. Wen the neighbors arrived Mrs. Morris asked them not to go up stairs, sayihg that she did not think her husband was dead and that they might disturb him. The friends entered the room which smelled strongly of chloro form and found an empty two-ounce vial of the drug on one of the pillows. It was only a foot away from the face of Mr. Morris. A handkerchief was over his mouth and he lay dead, with his hands crossed over his chest. The theories are four-suicide, acci dent on the victim's part, accident on Mrs. Morris's part ind murder. Since her husband's death Mrs. Morris has been prostrated and at times hysterical. Once she leaped from a window and ran some distance across the grass before being caught. The couple had been married a year, and their relations were not of the pleasantest. The wife is 23, a good looking blonde, and quite gay. She is an accomplished horsewoman, very fond of dogs, and comes from an excellent family. The dead man was 43, and made a will a week ago leaving all his property, whose value is estimated at $8,000, to his wife. A life insurance policy for $5,000 was also in her favor. The South's Opportunity. The present' year will be memorable for its blessings to the farmers. The South has produced the largest crops of vegetables, fruits, hay, forage and grain that have ever been known. Unless there is some general misfortune to be fall the cotton crop, the present will be the largest ever produced. In all the history of the South, the abundance and money value of its agricultural produe tions have not been equalled. With the start given to the farmers by the proceeds of this year's crops. they ought to be in a position to be in dependent. They will become so, if they will only resolve to live at home by raising their own provisions for the sup port and maintenance of the household and farm. The yield of corn has been so prolific in the South that there never was a more opportune time for the farmers to raise their own meat. With a cotton crop of a money value this year of from $350,000,000 to $400,000,000, the South will never be in a better condition to pull itself out of the thraldom of debt and dependence. In the greatest money producing crop of the world, the South stanids practically without a suc cessful competitor. God so made our soil and climate as to make it the home of the cotton plant which yields its snowy staple in such excellence and abundance as to be nowhere else equalled. With food crops in quantity sufficient for domestic consumption, the South would be the garden spot of the Union and our people the most inde pendent and prosperous in the world. -The Confederate government enacted a law to restrict the production of cot ton. If the Farmer's Alliance, which has already accomplished so much in its fight with the jute trust, would insist that the farmers and planters of the South shall raise corn and meat enough for their sustenance, the South will be independent and prosperous. Let the Farmers' Alliance do this and the great battle against trusts and monopolies will have been fought and won.-Augusta Chlron cle. SARAH ALTHEA. Still a Handsome Woman, Tremendously Clever and Very Fascinating. Californians say that Sarah Althea Hill has not yet finished all the mischief she is capable of. She is still a hand some woman, despite her years and the reckless manner in which she has given herself up to her passions, and even yet she has a marvelous attraction for a certain sort of man. Old Sharon was her dupe and Terry was completely under her thumb and they are only the most conspicuous among a long proces sion of men who have found her at tractive and dangerous. She has tre mendous courage and vitality, and, while very passionate, can be as cool and sharp as steel when she is playing a game with circumstances. She comes of a good family -a family that had no money, however-and her passion for intrigue, excitement and adven ture has induced her to break with all the traditions of her station, and has, by the way, succeeded in keeping her pockets filled in one way or another ever since she began her career. She is about 5 feet 6 in height, extremely well made, and is still graceful, lithe and slender. She has a pale, olive countenance with delicate features and a pair of starry brown eyes, and her thick, wavy, brown hair has never been cut in a bang, but is brushed loosely back and ripples around her brow and cars. 11er eye brows are very black and arched, and her lids white and drooping, biut her mouth shows the result of the life she h~s led, and has grown coarse and hard. Iowever the rest of the face may es cape the lines plowed by passions, the mouth always reveals what the life has been, and hers is not a pleasant or a trustworthy mouth. She is tremendously clever, and no man who talked to her half an hour could believe anything against her unless he had previously steeled his heart against her plausible man ner. -Adoration.

Across the field 8s we idly strolled, In the cloud'ess summer day, The winds were wafting the rare perfume From the meadows of new mown hay, And our hearts were stiil as our lips kept time To our steps on that pleasant day. And down where the brook like a wayward child Rushes on o'er the pebbly floor, And sprinkles the rocks with its diamond spray, And ripples along the store, We stopped at the crossing; I gave him my Phand. And trustingly followed him o'er. And when, in the twilight, we came again, Our lips for the once were still, And he held my h.nd as we crossed the stream, And hardly against my will: For I gave ny heart where I gave my hand, At the foot of the noisy iill. And when in the shade of the vineciad porch We parted, it seemed to me The stars were twinkling in rare delight, Though I'm sure no eye could see If the st ot on my cheek had a crimson blush, And my heart an estacy. THE FASHIONS. Early Frenc Dresses for Autumn Cashmere and Camel's Hair Gowns. The first French dresses imported for autumn repeat many of the designs brought out late in the summer by Pa risian modistcs. Round waists, full sleeves and straight skirts reappear with variations. Jacket waists and elaborate fronts of corsages remain in vogue and basques are not wholly aban'Ioned. Some features of the directoire coat are retained, and new ones are added. Pas sementerie, braiding, fur and feathers, with velvet cut bias and also velvet rib bons, are the trimmings of - the first dark dresses. The round waist is with out darts, and, paradoxical as it may sound, is slightly pointed in front. and back. It has but few seams, and may be either plain or full on the shoul ders; its fullness below is pleated or gathered to the points at the waist line, and it is trimmed there by vandyke points of embroidery or of gassemen terie, or else it is edged by a folded ribbon, fastened by a bow without ends on the left side. The round, shallow yoke, so often mentioned, will still be made of velvet, silk, moire on embroi dery, or of the dress material covered by passementerie. The high standing collar and mutton-legged sleeves will be made for most woolen dresses; cloth dresses, however, seldom have very full sleeves, as they cannot be worn under a cloth jacket or fitted coat. The skirts of new dresses are hung to appear almost straight, yet those of heavy fabrics have one or two short steels in their founda tion skirt, merely to support them, not to add to their size; the pad bustle-s are omitted altogether. The fronts and sides of many skirts are perfectly flat, while all are made full in the back by means of gathers or pleats, or some lengthwise jabot folds. The artilleur, or artilleryman's coat, is a pretty little basque-waist, with the jacket fronts opening over a vest, square-cornered and bordered with a band of embroidery, while the two broad middle forms of the back have a dull point like a loose jacket, and are also bordered. Shot velvets, both plain and figured, and shot moire ribbons will he much used for parts of dresses, for wraps and for bonnets or their trimmings. Mauve is shot with gold, brown with green, or gold with brown, red with blue and green with red, producing many new effects. The dahlia prune, and old. fashioned puce colors are seen in many new fabrics and promise to be popular. Chocolate with much cream in it will be a stylish shade for autumn and green is combined with this shade. The gray greens are shown in dark and in light shades in fine woolens and are made up with velvet of the new mahogany shade called in Paris le Buf~alo Bill. -The first autumn dresses will be of cashmere or of camel's hair, in shades of dahlia, castor brown, grayishi blue, Eiffel red or mahogany, trimmed with black pointed passementerie or six cords in open designs. The round waist, full and slightly pointed, will be trimmed with three vandyke points of the gimp in frout, and sometimes in the back also, beginning just below the collar, and on the shoulders; that in the middle is the deepest; and to hold it well the cash mere of the waist should be lapped to the left shoulder, and hooked from the left shoulder down, though the waist lining is hooked in front. The fulness in front and back is dmwn in small pleats to the points at the waist line. No darts are seen, and there is not more thani one side form; indeed, in the gentiine. French waist the only seams arc those under the arms. The standing collar is fast cued on the left side, and should be covered with passementerie. The sleeves are in one piece, full at the top and shaped to fit the arms below the el bow. A point of passemnenterie is placed at the top, pointing downward, and at the wrists, pointing up~ward. Black ribbon, three inches wide, is folded -less than two inches in width, and laid smooth around the pointed end of the waist, fasteining on the left side with a bowv. The straight round skirt mounted on a fouindation skirt. is trimmed all around the foot, or else only in front and onl the sides, with upturned points of the black passementerie. These straight skirts should not have their placket-hole opening in front or back, but-on one side, usually the left, as it can best be kept closed there. It is also a good plan to p)ermanently attach the belted skirt to the waist, tacking the belt across the back and sides of the pointed bodice inside at the waist line. Short sleeveless jackets of velvet, of faille or ot' moire, will form the bodies of many dresses of silk or of fine wool. The dress material will be down the middle of the front of the waist, shirred closely at top) and bottom, or drooping in blouse fashion.

JOHNsTOwN, PENN., September 10. - That Johns-own will rise again there seems to be no doubt. The enornmouis task of restoring the Pennisylvania Rail road tracks from South Fork to the famous stone bridge continues (day and night. With all possible energy the Cambria iron Compiany is operating those departments of its works which escaipedl ruin. Its army of employees is busy and hundreds of men are engaged in rebuilding the structures demolished or damaged. Planing mills, gas works, electric light works, and other minor in dustriial establishments are being put in working order. Stores have beii re opened, and afthough the merchants arc only in temporary buildings they have a good stock on hand and find an amp~le demand for their wares. There have been at least 1,000 places of habitation ereted during the last three months. Of course the majority of them are only temporary structures, but they an swer every purp~ose. Some substantial buildings, however, are well under way and many foundations are being laid. The Manning Academy, A GRADED SCHOOL FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

AN INGENIOUS STORY INVENTED BY THE CONSPIRATORS To Account for the Brutal Murder of Dr. Cronin and to Create Public Sentiment in Favor of the Suspects Now on Trial. But the Scheme Fails to Work. CHICAGO, September 19.-The morn ing papers all denounce yesterday's sen sational story about LeCaron's daughter having furnished evidence that Dr. Cronin was murdered by emissaries of the British government, as a plot of the so-called "Triangle." The Times says: "Another scheme on the part of the defense, and one which has in view nothing less than the abso lute clearing of the Cronin suspects and the creation of public sentiment in their behalf, was sprung on the public yesterday. In boldness of design it is quite equal to that of the' stupend ous conspiracy that murdered Dr. Cro nin. How or from what soure camse the first intimation of what the charac ter and nature of the Cronin defeiise was to be nobody knows. But suddenly and simultaneously in all the afternoon japers there appears a plan of d[reise so skillfully told as to blind the average reader and make him believe that this carefully devised story is a reality." The Inter-Ocean says: "The latest story advaned by the 'Triangle' to account for the murder. of Dr. Cronin is worthy of that prince of romancers, Baron Munchausen himself. The instigators of the crime and their apologists and defender, have outdone thrnmselves. Not only is this new theory palpably false and malicious, but ridiculoua in the extreme, and un worthy of a momeut's considera1tion, did it not outlito a part of the plan of the defense. The Tribune story was put in circulation yesterday in behalf of the men on trial for the murder of Dr. Cronin, which, as a marvelous and well studied concoction, is only second to the plot itself whereby lie murder was carried out. The plan was worthy of the brain which devised the decoy contract, forged telegrams front Toronto, the tin box of Klanres, the renting of the cot tage at Woolwich, and the discovery of the exhumed corpse dressed in the mur dered man's clothes found floating in the Thames. But, unfortunately, the plot falls through, for a cogent reason. Druggist Burlingham, instead of re maining in England for good, as it was supposed he would, will sail from Liv erpool for New York October 9." The same paper prints an interview with George E. May, who is supposed to have been Miss LeCaron's correspond ent. He says: "I have turned over no letters. to Mr. Forrest or any living soul." In his most emphatic manner, he says: "If 1 have received any letters from Miss LeCaron or any one else, referring to the Cronin case, or any one connected with it in the remotest way, you may cut off every finger on my right hand." "But didn't you take a buggy ride with Mike Coughlin? Isn't there that much foundation for his story at least?" "In answer to that question I want to say that I don't associate with ,uch men," he said, indicating that no more rides would go anyhow. "I am an American, not a Clan-na-Gael. So far as I am concerned-and speaking for myself I speak for my family-the whole Clan-na-Gael society ought to be at the bottom of Lake Michigan. I don't want anything to do with it, and it can't make use of me." STILL SEEKING BLOOD. Huff and Patterson May Fight, but Efforts Beine Made to Prevent It. MACON, Ga., September 10.- I have had a long hunt over the State to catch up with the legislative Huff-Patterson duel. Huff was at his home here this morning away from the Legislature, and Patterson spent the forenoon in tile Atlanta Assembly. The fight is still on hot and heavy, but the most influential men in Bibb Count y, including a prominent minister of the gospel, Dr. E. W. Warren, have taken the matter sternly, and before .daylight one or the other dourse must be reached. The seconds are not recognized. The committee of twenty-five drew up a communication addressed to both the duelists asking that a conference be had.I Huff consented, but declined to conumit himself to anything. Patterson has just arrived from Atlanta and a fin~d effort is being made to settle the dilli culty. The committee are with him. Agree to Submit Their Differences to . Arbitration.-. MAcON, Ga., September 17.-The peace committee of twenty-one, ap pointed at the public meeting festerday for the purpose of effecting an amicable settlement of the HufY-Patterson matter, met Messrs. Ihuh and Patterson again this morning at separate conferences. Messrs. iluff and Patterson finally agreed to submit their differences to the committee for settlement, and each made a writtein agreement to be bound by the decision of the committee, andl that the one on whoin the blame is put for the trouble wdll have to retract or make amends honorable to the other one'. The joint cominittee of merchants lawyers, and commercial men generally, agreed that the three preachers of the committee shall be constituted a sub committee, who shall make a thorough investigation of the entire matter from the beginning; shall exatmine all papers. evidence, etc., in order to arrive at the truth of the affair, and find on wvhomt rhe faiult should rest. This sub-com mittee is composed of Rev. E. W. War ren, pastor of the First Baptist Church; Rev. T. R. Kendall, pastor of the Muli berry Street Methodist Church,iand Rev. W. B. Jennings, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. They will no :oubt consume several days in the ii vestigation. The people of Macon are delighted that thle matter is neai'ing adjustment without bloodshed, and that it. will be settled .honorably and satisfactori ly to both gentlemlen. PEANUTS AS MEDICINE. The Time-Honored Goober Said to Pos sess Rare Curative Powers. The taste for the toothsome peanut is a healthy one and the nut is coming into favor on account of its virtues, aside from its edible qualities. Of late years it is boldly claimed for the peanut thlat it has rare curative powers in certain diseases no0w becoming freque-it, espe cially among brain-workers and highl living people-insomnia' with the first class and dlyspepsia 'with tile others. A correspondent of a Boston news paper vouches for the fact that he had a very bad case of dyspepsia, acconmpa niel by insomnia-that he had gone seventytwo hours without sleep. was badly wrecked physically andi went to eating peanuts, and, after a short cour-se .of this treatment, came out of it a per fetly-healthy, hearty man, able to sleep soundly under any and all circumi statcs. In view of the revival of tile peanut on its merits it should no longer lbe classed as ant article useful only as an aid in passing time at a'dull circus. The peanut, goober or grotmndnt, as it is variously called, is taking a place in the d isensary. The day may not be far distanmt whelin the physician will prescribe a pint of peanuts and an hour's practice oil chew
