rruL. JTHE CORONER'S INQUEST INTO THE KILLINGHow Hddttn And I'Attllln Met-Roth Men Reek Weapons, unit Subsequently Look for EncK Other?Tho Fatal Meeting. Auousta, Ga., Aug. 4.?*-The condition or \?r. L. H. Pattillo, who was shot by air. J. M. Hudson on Saturday night, is now quite favorable. At tho inquest on the dead body of Hudson the following evidenco was adduced: Dr. DeSaussure Ford testified as to tho post mortem examination. May It r Griffin, a negro, testified tha* lie was walking along when his attention was attracted by a gontle mau coining down Broad street* and I urued rwrnd suddenly when ? pistol was tired. He says Hudson fired the first shot. Crosav Curry, another negro, swore that both tired at the same time. Mil. MACAULAY TELLS THE 8TORY. M. E. Macaulay 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. Air. Hudson accompanied me. He had done so before. Ho asked me whether 1 was going down the street.. I..said 1 had to get my supper, frequently got it in fivo minutes. Hudson said in that .case, 'I will wait for you.' I went to the Windsor. Mr Hudson accompanied me, and after I had finished, we came out aud walked down the street with A. A. Thomas and Hudson to the corner of Jackson and Broad. V.r. Thomas left us there, and" Hudson and I walked down Broad to the Chronicle office. . j When we got to the steps, I said to Hudson: "I am going to read proof. Will you go?" He said:- "Yes." "When I got to the editoral room, we both walked in. 1 saw a gentleman sitting at a desk with his back to the door, whom I took for Mr. Casev. Hfifiinc Afr. Mik? Wtilah niolif editor, at the other end of the roaru. I spoko 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 iinished something else. While we were waiting Mr. Mikp Walsh came in, and told me to got my friend to leave and leave at nee. I told Mr. Hudson to leave, and he asked what was the matter. I told him to leave quick and go down 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. Ho then looked among the printers, who were setting type, and asked me where young Hudson had gone. I told him I believed ho had gone home. He asked which way he , went. This was, I think, after 10 o'clock. I went down the back stairs ten or fifteen minutes afterwards, and walked up Ellis street and turned through to Broad, where I saw Mr. ?- tne sidewalk. Mr. Tnttmo 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 because, as he said, it was too hot for him. I then asked him if he qa- wanted to see Hudson, and he said: 'Yes.' I said he boarded up the street and worked nt our store. 'You con see him any time.' He said: 'Yes, I believe so.' He then turned to the Chronicle, and I went up the street. About Air. 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 hi4 was going down i the street. I advised him not- to do ho, but to return with mo an Pnttillo was down the street, and I believed v : .1 tr 1: n..i i._ uo who uiuivu. iw irfmca lutit utaf to?, wan 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 wiahjto infringe the rules. I then persuaded him to accompany me, and wo sat on chairs ^ in front of the Windsor cafe. Mr. A 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 tno cars. We declined. Soon after Hudson got up, and said he was going to see a friend at the Arlington. I tried to persuade him to remain, but he said it was_neces for mm to see his friend, lie had lust gone a short distance when the firing commenced. X saw tho flashes. Boy who fired first. I nttmly heard one Rhot at first, j , Then X think it was a longer. inter-1 vol between tho first and second I shots than between any of the oth- j ers." Policeman Boston testified that he ; ran over to Mr. Hudson, who was ? walking toward Mr. Pattillo firing, ' knocked his arm down, and grabbed him, and called to Policeman Shea to j arrest the other man. He did not know Hudson was wounded. He laid him down on the ^sidewalk, and he died at onee. Policeman Shea swore he grabbed * while snapping bin empty I Eistol. He arrested, him and carried iin to the Arlington hotel. While going? up the elevator. Shea says PattiUo remarked that he hoped Hudson was dead, and he said he had lovod the woman and married her and she was n virtuous woman and wife. The jury returned the verdict that Charles Hudson came to his death from a gunshot wound from a pistol in the hands of L. H. Pattillo, and they further found that from want of positive evidence, they were una ble to deaido whether it was a murder, manslaughter or justifiable homicide. JUTE BAGGING OUSTEDGwtkIh Furincm to Cio h I'ovnrlng Mid* of Cotton. The farmers of Georgia will.'never use jute again. The nextr-cmp- Wll bo. clothed almost totally fn cotton bagging, aud jute will be thrown clear away. The Alliance Exchango is busy continuously shipping cotton bagging, even at this early period, in great quantities to the various Alliances all over ihe State, and the orders are increasing every day. Mr. J. O. Wynn, of the State Alliance Exchange, has shipped 50,000 yards oi couon nagging to tJie Allinnces of Georgia, and is busily occupied tilling now orders for the article every day. "It will bo used exclusively this season," he said, "and although jute bagging has become about one-fourth sh costly as cotton bagging, none of it will be used. This would seem strange at first, but when you consider the matter you will find that it is the best plan for farmers to use cottou bagging, even though it is about four times the price of jute. It is selling for t4<> cents a pound, or about 12J 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 then- cotton with cotton bagging rather than with jute is because the consumption of cotton is increased considerably by using the cotton bngging. This naturally increases the demand for cotton, and hence is profitable to the farmers by raisinr the nrice of cotton Tf tl?n? rise in only half a cent, the difference between the cost of jute and cotton bagging is counterbalanced. You can see, therefore, the advisability of the burners using cotton bagging. "Jute will not be known as a cover for cotton ffbre years from now. It will never bo used again for this purpose. Cotton bagging lias whipped in the fight for all time." A movement will be brought before the meeting of the State Alliance, which is to be held in Atlanta soon, to establish a cotton bagging factory in this State for the Alliance. The matter has been talked of before, but will bo brought before the next meeting iu a business-like shape."?New York Times. Buticreil l>y Hail Stones. Mascon City, Iowa, Aug., 7.?A destructive wind and hail storm, much worse than at first reported, swept over Lyons, Osceola, iSickinson, Emmett and Winnebago Counties on Sunday, destroying nearly everything in its path. Many horses and cattle were killed, and men who were out were badly cut by hail and several are reported seriously injured. The track of the storm was about fourteen miles wide, following eastward thesouth Muuiesota tttate line. Hail sffctreft as lingf as hen's e&gs fell to the depth of six inches. Tho flax, which was a heavy crop, was entirely ruined. Wheat and oats which were in the shock were so badly damaged as to be worth nothing. Several houses were blown down, and it would take thousands of dollars to cover the damage to the farmers alone. A Rabid Dog In Charl est on. Charleston, S. C., Aug. 6.?The whole of King street, the main thoroughfare of this city, was terrorized this afternoon by a huge mastiff which was suffering from rabies and which ran a muck from the upper to the lower end of the street. The dog started out at two o'clock, an hour when tho street is crowded with women and children. After runing over a mile through the street ho was finally knocked on the head by a negro and subsequently shot by a policeman. He had bitten a man, a woman and four children. The wounds in each case were cauterized and the patients are well but are much frightened. A Family of Ten Poisoned.

N Mr. Henry Howren, the ex-journalist who has been preaching temper- uanco for some time throughout tho ^ South, is still very sick in Decatur. When he stopped drinking ho was, of course, in a most deplorable condition, his nerves being completely shattered from the excessive use of T whiskey. He began preaching on temperance, but so much did he suffer from nervousness that he took t< chloral t o quiet his system. It quieted him at first, but gradually si he was forced to increase the quan- si tity until he is now in a critical con- l?i dilicn. C Since being in Decatur he has been fi given small doses of the drug at regu- * lar intervals because he seemed to suffer so much when he did not use it, C growing cold and appearing at times n to be in an almost dying condition. n # One day when the ladies who were v nursing him left him in the care of t; another lady who was not familiar with the cast, he begged for the t chloral bottle.
