JL Jtl. f attillo, wno was shot by Mr. J. .si. Hudson on Saturday night is now quite favorable. At the inquest on the dead body of r Hudson the following evidence was adduced: Dr. BeSaussure Ford testified as t i the post mortem examination. . 3Iayter Grifiin, a negro, testified that he was walking along Rrhen his ** - __ _ attention was attracted Dy a gentleman coming down-Broad street, and turned round suddenly when a pistol was fired. He says Hudson fired the first shot < i Caesar Curry, another negro, swore that both fired at the same time. v- 3IACAULAY TELLS THE STOBY. M. E. 3Iacaulay was sworn and testified: "Between 9 and 10 o'clock, Saturday night, I closed up the store and went down to the Chronicle to correct the proof of an advertisement. Mr. Hudson accompanied me. ne i had done so before. He asked me whether I was going down the street. I said I had to get my supper, frequently got it in five minutes, ^^NwHudson said in that case, 'I will wait f^jvoii.' I went to the "Windsor. Mr HuS ?pn accompanied me, and after X j had fimS&ed, we camg^^Swiaadkail down the^trSet with A, A. Thomas and Hudson to the corner of Jackson and Broad. Mr. Thomas left us there, and Hudson and i walked down Broad to the Chroiiicle office. When we got to the steps. X said to Hudson: , "I am going to read proof. Will you go?" He said: "Yes." "When I got to the editoral room, we botii walked in. I saw a gentleman sitting at a desk with his back to the door, whom I took for Mr. An c.Q<r SoAin cr Mr. Mike Walsh,ni?rht! editor, at the other end of the room, I spoke to him, and turned to walk out. The one whom I had taken for Mr. Casey, got up and walked toward me. I then saw it was Mr. Pattillo. The proof-reader asked me to wait a little, till he had finished something else. While we were waiting Mr. Mike Walsh came in, and told me to get my friend to leave and leave at ?nee. I told Mr. Hudson to leave, and he asked what was the matter. I 113 - ^ ~ rrr\ ^Atrr? IOIC1 LULU to leitvt; yuiuiv cuiu. gu uunu the back stairs, and I would meet him later, at the Windsor. After reading the proof, I asked Mr. Walsh what was the matter. He said Mr. Pattillo had asked him for a pistol, and he had told him he would not give him one if he had one. Soon after Mr. Pattillo came in the composing room and walked right behind me, looked into the proof-reader's room, putting his hand on his hip - pocket. He then looked among the printers, who were setting type, and asked me where young Hudson had ' gone. I told him I believed he had gone home. He asked which way he went. This was, I think, after 10 o'clock. I went down the back stairs +rvn r\r- flrfoar) rmnnfflS fl/f^PTWards. and walked up Ellis street and turned through to Broad, where I saw Mr. Pattillo standing on the corner of the sidewalk. Mi*. Pattillo asked me: "Well, did you get your ad fixed?" and remarked that he was pretty hot up there. I said yes, and was glad he could come out and get the fresh air, and then turned and walked off. He hailed me and asked why young Hudson had left up there. I replied Korto-non oe Vi?? QOir? if. Wfl.9 too hot hA/VfllU)?Vj JLLW kfW%AV?^ for him. I then asked him if he wanted to see Hudson, and he said: 'Yes.' I said he boarded up the street and worked at our store. 'You can see him any time.' He said: 'Yes, I believe so.' He then turned to the Chronicle, and I went up the street. About Mr. Ferris, I met Hudson coming down the street, and he said: 'I saw Mr. Watson, who is at the Arlington, and who regrets" missing us.' Hudson said he was going down the street I advised him not to do so. but to return with me as Pattillo was down the street and I believed he was armed. He replied that he, I , to?, was armed and I asked him if he was armed when in the Chronicle. He said yes, and he would not have left there, but did not wish^to infringe the rules. I then persuaded him to accompany me, and we sat on chairs in front of the Windsor cafe. Mr. Thomas and Mr. H. C. Cashin were in the party. The latter invited us to take beer. We returned, and sat in the chairs, when Cashin proposed a ride on the cars. We declined. Soon after Hudson got up, and said he was going to see a friend at the - ** ^ ? a Arlington, j. tneq. to persuade to remain, but he said it was necesfor him to see his friend. He had just gone a short distance when the firing commenced. I saw the flashes, but cannot say who fired first. I heard no talking." ' "THE SHOTS 7IRKD. I only heard one shot at first. Then I think it was a longer interval between the first and second shots than between any of the others," Policeman Baston testified that he ran over to Mr. Hudson, who was walking toward Mr. Pattillo filing, - - * - -t - -1.1 3 knocked ins arm down, ana grauueu him, and called to Policeman Shea to I arrest the other man. He did not know Hudson was wounded. He laid ]iim down on the "sidewalk, and he iied at once. Puliceraan Shea swore tie grabbed .pattillo while snapping his empty pistol. He arrested him and carried him to the Arlington hotel." While going up the elevator. Shea says Pattillo remarked that lie hoped Hudr - son was dead, and he said he had loved the woman and married her and she was a virtuous woman and wife. The jury returned the verdict that Charles Hudson came to his death from a gunshot wound from a pistol in tlie hands of L. H. Pattillo, and they further found that from want | of positive evidence, they were unable to decide whether it was a murder, manslaughter or justifiable homicide. I JUTE BAGGING OUSTEDGeorgia Farmers to Use a Covering: ' of Cotton. The fanners of Georgia -will never . use'jute again. The next crop will , ! be clothed almost totally in cotton : bagging, find" jute will be thrown 1 , clear away. The .Alliance Exchange 1 ; is busy continuously shipping cotton ! ] bagging, even at this early period, in j great quantities to the various Alliances all over the State, and thej < orders are increasing every day. Mr. j i J. 0. ~vVynn, of the State Alliance ; : Exchange, lias shipped 50,000 yards of cotton bagging to the Alliances of , 1 Georgia, and is busily occupied filling , new orders for the article every day. j "It will be used exclusively this : 1 season,7' he said, "and although jute 1 bagging has become about one-fourth as costly as cotton bagging, none of; j it will be used. This would seem ' f c strange at first, but when" you con- ( si der the matter you will find that it j is the best plan for farmers to us&| cotton bagging, even though it is t about four times the price of jute. It j is gelling for 1G cents a pound, or about 12 * cents per yard. Jute has ! gone down to%4 cents a pound, or 8 cents a yard. } "The reason that it is cheaper for { the farmers to cover their cotton with ! cotton bagging rather than with jute j is because the consumption of cotton is increased considerably by using the I cotton bagging. This natm'aU^tffj0 creases the demantL^paggffon^ and the farmers by X&tfSS&s&frnce of cotton. If that se is only half a cent, the difference between the cost of jute and cotton bagging is counterbalanced. You can see, therefore, the advisability of the farmers using cotton bagging. "Jute will not be known as a cover for cotton fibre years from now. It \ will tiavpt hp nsnd fl<rn,in for this rrar pose. Cotton bagging has whipped * in the fight for all time." j A movement will be brought before the meeting of tlie State Alliance, which is to be held in Atlanta soon, \ to establish a cotton bagging factory t in this State for the Alliance. The matter has been talked of before, but will be brought before the next meet- I ing in a business-like shape."?-New York Times. t Battered by Hail Stones.

Will you pardon a word from one on J the '"retired list," relative to the new People's party? This is a movement of vast importance if it can be made successful. Let the report go out after election thai tb* vote of Kansas has been changod from a plurality of 82,000 for the hijyh-tax and high-priced money party of 50,000 majority for the People's party, and the effect would be felt not only at Washington but at the capital of every civilized government on the globe. It would bo ' worth more to the causo of labor and the people than a thousand strikes and labor riots, becauso it would demonstrate the power of the ballot in righting wrongs. And the wrongs would bo righted. Such & vote would put every Congressman in the entire West and South.to work for Western and Southern interests, instead of Wall street and Pittsburgh. The People's party would not have to wait for relief till their own members took their seats, but tboy would find the work well advanced before March 4, 1891. Suoh being ita importance, no mistakes should be made. The, people's party should be "ntTcloie'communion partyTbuTas"broatT"' in lis invitation tot voters ana coworkers as the name would imply. Let all the people be made welcome who can stand on the platform of the industrial classes adopted at St. Louis. One resolution or expression at the late convention has a bad look. It is to the effect that nc nominee of the People's party should accept the nomination of any other party. This looks too narrow for a People's party oc for the emergency.

Also, there are seore3 of Republican newspapers that disagree with the plutocratic, Wall Street policy vf Congress, and should they, for the purpose o& administering a rebuke, fall into line, must they be renulsod? In 1854 Congress removed ail the barriers to the progress of black slavery, and H started oat oo Sla march via Kansas to fcunker Hill monument; and a few men, Hi 1854* '55, '56, ooncluded they would keep it out of Kansas. These men were of all parties and shades eft Somo were Yankee and some were Liberal Whigs, some Bourbon and some Barn-burner Democrats, some were Liberty party or Free-Soil men and somo Abolitionists, but all were for a free State in Kansas. They accepted the situation and adopted a platform with on^ tffto plant,namoly--Freo State. No questions were asked as to party affiliations, and all were equally welcome at the communion table.

The name indicates the general make of an organization forming about the Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union as a nucleus. There will bo suggestions from the outside and also through friends on the inside to add some side issues to the People's platform. This matter will need careful and vigilant watching. The platform agreed upon at St Louis is broad enough to build a party on. It could be made moie specific and to that extent improved; but there should be no change that would take any part away or add any thing foreign. What has been added by xne ataro, witn suggestions maae dj the Emporia union meeting, are quite sufficient for a comprehensive declaration of what at least ninety per cent of dissatisfied people want As to candidates, that is a matter of very great importance. A candidate is sometimes equal to the party's platform. He may have been so closely identified with some particular movement as to suggest hie platform without its being1 presented at all. Men who, from any cause, have become objectionable to large classes of voters, should not be set up as candidates^ Gtf the People's party. This is a laovement in which a great many rv&jrsong will unite who have formerly <?6een far apart*, and .their present uniting is based upon the reasonable belief that to advocate necessary reforms does not require any violence to opinions on issues past The Republican party was made up of men who had differed widely on many I^U02>L1UI15>, l/uuy UiiLUy LV^UWUUl All vp^V sition to the proposed nationalization of slavery. So here, this movement among the working people is in opposition to the encroachments of the Money Power, every day becoming more apparent and dangerous. Our platform is all right; it is entirely satisfactory to the masses. If our candidates are equally satisfactory, enemies of the movement will be to that extent disarmed, and friends will be strengthened in their purpose. Men who have been much in office could serve this cause better as workers than as candidates, and the man who is known as a "chronic office-seeker" is not a fjood collector of rotes. Men of convictions, men of character, men of courage and steadiness of purpose, men who are earnestly and actively in sympathy with the people's movement, are the men needed now. We can not afford to fritter away our op portunities wit>h incompetent or unnt men as our color-bearers. Success with, good men -will land us far ahead the first step.?Kansas Farmet CAUSING TALK. Bat Before Condemmlng Walt for the Re suite. The Farmers' Alliance of th? country is doing one thing at least: it is causing lots of talk in newspaper circles, and is giving the people of the country an idea oLwhat the poor, over-worked farmer is. One of the idea3 advanced in the formation of the Alliance was to fight trusts and monopolies of every description. If there is a bigger trust in the country than the Farmers' Alliance we would like to have it pointed out. They not only want to oontrol business, but If they were given the opportunity, they would make a laughing stock of the contry by passing nonsensical laws that would bring choas upon the country where order now exis'ts.

When a remedy proves itself a cure for the very worst phase? of blood poison, it stands to reason that minor effects of bad blood will rapidly disappear if the remedy is used in time. No remedy in the world has sO good reputation at home or abroad as a cure for all stages of blood poison as B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm.) Benj. Morris, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I suffered years from syphilitic blood poison which refused to be cured by all treatment. Physicians : pronounced it a hopeless case. I had no appetite, I had pains in my hips and joints and my kidneys were diseased, My throat was ulcerated and my breast a mass of running sores. In this condition, I commenced a use of B. B. B. It healed every ulcer and cured me completely within two months. TVoivl ATo-votr Ci-a wrifAs: 'My disease was pronnouced a tertiary form of blood poison. My lace, liead and shoulders were a mass , of corruption, and finally the disease began eating my skull bones.

I was pronunced sound and welL ; Hundreds of scars can now be seen , on me. I have now been well over twelvemonths." A. P. Branson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: .

Cutreris protected by his friends, two hundred strong, all of whom are well armed. I. 11 1 HO Ujm^ OiMVt Cutrer had surprised him on the first shot, as he was shaking hands with a friend, and shot twice afterwards. The first fire produced a mortal wound. Cutrer fled to Clarksdale: and from there he was taken, to Johnstown to be arraigned before a iustice. Butrer was given a hearing and released on ?10,000 bail, being charged wiih shooting with intelit to murder. He will now be re-arrested on a warrant for murder. Should Chew's Mends march on Johnstown in a body to-night, as they threaten to do, a bloody battle will certainly follow.
