THE CORONER'S INQUEST INTO THE
KILLINGHo?r

Augusta, Ga., Aug. -i.?The con
dition of 3Ir. 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

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.

he was finally knocked on the head r

The Force Bill to be Poshed.
Washington, 7.?Senators Hawley 1
and Manderson say there is no truth 1
in the report that the force bill is
to be abandoned. They say that if
anjTbody thinks that because the *
river and harbor bill was to be taken ,
ut) on the 8th the force bill is be
dropped lie is entitled to his opinion
of course, but is sadly in error. The a
river and harbor bill is to be taken
up and passed because the public r
works to which the money is to be i
applied are suffering for want of it v
Then the tariff bill will be passed, j
after which the force bill will be ta- 1
ken up. Another thing which the
Senators did not mention is that the i
bill is not yet completed. Senator t
Hoar is out of town and is not ex- \
pected back before next week, when C
it is hoped by Senator Hoar and his

WASHINGTON STATE GRANGE.

Ahead La Wnfthington.
Last week was Grang# week in Washington.
The State Grange met at La
Comes, and was noted, for the amount
of work done and for the harmony that
prevailed.
The Patrons of Washington are
abreast of the times. The literar# ex
ercises were of the best Politically
they are united as one man on ail ques?
tions affecting our interests except the
tariff, and tk^re is not much
difference there. The work of
t>T3 session was all completed. The
sis!?-r5 had all the time asked for
for their work and all woro happy.
Among those from abroad w?re Bro.

Grange; Bro. John Simpson, worthy
lecturer of Oregon State Grango, and
Sister T. L. Hillerjr, Orogon editor of
the Eural Press; Bro. Imbrie and wife
and son and his wifo, and they were all
delighted at the fraternal feeling and
life in the State Grange of Washington.
Last July there were only three small
Granges in Washington; now there are
tniriy or tnirty-one, ana 11 noimng nappens

j
ITow to .Vako the congressmen of the J
VTcit ftud South Vote Right.
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. If,
when a ticket sboll have been selected
of good and true men who stand erect
on the St Louis platform, the Union
Labor party ohooeea to bring out its
machine and indorse the ticket, must
candidates tre^t tb&n wjjth discourtesy
oad Msdte atyqirwtffon? So of the
I&, tfhen tbe DemoQF8&
Sro ro^T^pery p\ank of the St.
togte iiK^odtpB&^atfofm is taken from
Jeffersoo, icoteon, Calhoun, Benton,
and th6 founders of their
party, they should i&ciAe to indorse
not onlv the Peonie's r?lat
form but ^he ticket also, and
operate their party machinery for its
election, must the nomltfees repel them?
So of disaffected membere of the G. A
R. If their post? officially to
join in the procession oi the people for
the people, must they be insulted and
ordered out of the column? 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. Sc,
now, when Kansas proposes to check
the advanse of white slavery, let all

A COMPARISON.
Tbo Question of National Loans td the
farmers.
Take two men at the oloso of the
war. One buys a farm for 810,000; the
other buys Government bonds for 810.000.
Both aro investments; the farm
and the bond. Both represent value, '
and have a buying and selling price.
The money in the bonds, without any |
labor of the holder, has paid a much !
larger interest than has the money in
the 'average farm, with all the hard
work of the farmer and his family.
Those favorod fow, the special class "of
the people" who own the bonds, can take
them to Washington, deposit them in
the treasury, say 8100,000. They aro
safor than at home. Those who i
bought them still own them. The i
interost on thorn nevor stops. It
is regularly and promptly paid). And, i
on these bonds the Government?loans
this special class "of the neonlo" S90,- !
000 in money, which ,they take home,
and, as middlemen, loan this Govern- i
ment money to the farmers and others
"of the people" at 6, 8, 10, 1$ or more
per cent intorest :
Kow, why not let the farmer have
the same ohance with hia property?

THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Matters that will ?ed Carefal and \lg^
ilant Watching:.
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.

Bide you time, good friend. Do not
be opposed to the Farmers' Alliance because
of this or that, too soon. Just
what is the "wrong view of matters" or
the "right control of trade" will not

iuse dixit, or ours, and much less by
the laws of trade as heretofore practiced
by your grocery roan. You may

upon tho farmers' well-being and not
on their ill-doing. You can af'ord to

Mr. Van Wyck has had conferences
with the 'representatives in

assured him that if the bills can bo
reached on the calendar they will undoubtedly
be passed. He has consulted
with Speaker Reed, who expresses the
belief that the bills will be reached and
members of the committee on agriculture
have assured him that every

Terrible Wreck on tlie Louisville! >*ew
Alabaay and Dhicago Eri!road.
' Louisville. Ky., Aug. ?There
. was another week on the Louisville,

l this morning. Two men were killed
i and several seriously injured,
i About seven miles north of Bed;
ford Ind., and out-bound passenger
. train from Chicago came' in collision
, with a north-bound passenger train
from Louisville. Several of the cars
were completely telescoped. The
i dead are Arthur Burns, of New
Albany, engineer of the south-bound
train, and George Cole, of New
Albany, fireman of the south-bound
train. Both are still under the
; wreck.
It is stated that another man was
on the engine and that he is under
the wreck. Nine were injured.^ Coeductor

when he did open his eyes he saw the
baggage car coming right through
the parlor car and it struck him in
the forehead, stunning him for a
moment.
Engineer Muir says that he was
two minutes behind time, while the
northern train was about six hours
behind. Doctors were sent out at
once with a wrecking-train, and tlie
wounded were taken to Bedford "and
New Albany. John Tilford, brother
of Postal Clerk Tilford. called on the
sheriff to arrest McDonald, saying:
"I will kill Vn'm if you don't" A

Atburn*, N. Y., Aug. 6.?Between
six and seven o'clock this morning in

under the law by the use of electricity.
On March 29th, 1889, he murV>ia
mi<ifros?L Till:** and
his death today was the reparation
for his ciime.
He breakfasted lightly between-five
and six o'clock. Religious services
were held. He made his own toilet,
and was cheerful, cool and without
apparent dread. He enter-ed the
death chamber about half-past six.
He assisted in preparing himself fO!r
death. He was placed in an ordinary
chair by the warden who introduced
him to those present. He made a
few brief farewell remarks. 1 here

The man was|evidently devoid of nerve
tension.
His voice while speaking had no
tremor. He submitted to the straps
quietly. He directed the adjustment ,
of the electrodes. He made a suggestion
to the warden and finally sat .
in the death chair without a tremor.
A convulsion marked the application-of

and the current was stopped.
Later it was resumed, and in thirteen
minutes from the first stroke he
was declared dead. The flesh of the
back was burned, also a spot upon
the top of the head. An autopsy was
begun three hours after death and its
disclosures noted by all the doctors
present. The microscope later must
determine the exact condition.
A Proof olMciit.
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. My
bones ached; my kidneys were deranged,
I lost flesh and strength,
and life became a burden. All said I
must surely die, but nevertheless, '
when I had used ten bottles of B. B. '
B. I was pronunced sound and welL ;
Hundreds of scars can now be seen ,
on me. I have now been well over
twelvemonths."

bottle of B. B. B. I expsrience a '
change, and my despondency was [
somewhat dispelled. I kept using it
until I had taken about sixteen bottles,
and all the ulcers, rheumatism, and
and all other horrors of blood prison
have disappeared, and at last X am

of twenty years of tortue." 1

The first fire produced a mortal

At the dawn of Sunday morning
W. H. Ahrens was killed in the house
of T. D. Green. It is a strange and
at the same time revolting story.
Domestic troubles and infiekty "were
the causes which led to the tragedy.
The crime was without witnesses, except
those directly interested in its
termination. The victim of the x
hm.c'PfJv never uttered a word after
the fatal shot was fired. He was in
the castle of his slayer, he was there
with no one except the wife of the
slayer, and whether he was there under
invitation or not, in view of the
circumstances connected with the
case: there seems to have been provocation
for the killing. T. D. Green,
who fired the fatal shot, was suspicious
of the intimacy of the man he
killed and his wife.?News and Courier.
