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._

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.
Calhoun, Ga., August 7.?William
Boon and his wife Emily, negroes,
were jailed here last night for poisoning
Joe i'ollis s family of ten negroes,
two of whom are dead and
three more of whom are dying. They
put rat poison on meat and Hour intended
for Tallis's family to eat.
Each accuses the other. Emity says
Boon did it to get Tallis's crop. Boon
is a bright mulatto, about fifty years
old, and a preacher.?Atlanta Journal.

Knergottc l*r<> e?U from tho North Having ^
St rong Effect.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 5.?Mr.
Hoar will return from Massachusetts v
to tind the prospect of passing the ^
force bill in auy form through the tl
Senate more dubious than when he ft
left. The opposition to it grows all ^
the time in tho Senate under the f(
stimnlous of tho letters and telegraph
messages which every Republican
Senator is receiving from the busi- ?
ness men in the North and from w
Northern businessmen in I'e South) d
representing the unwisdom of enacts A
ing such legislation. ^
Messrs. Hoar and Spoonor, tho A
sponsors of tho bill in,tho Senate, re- ^
ceived such communications as the w
rest. Messrs. Quay and Cameron get,
probably, more, of the appeals from 9

'As hotn Tvf tliera are persuimUy op* ?
posed to the force bill, tbey may ^
possibly be encouraged by tho. messages
from their constituents to come u'
out and say so. *'
But Blaii\c's iuflucuce iH doing ^
more than any other one thing to
bury the comatose force bill; not his ai
direct opposition to it, so much as w
his stirring up the feeling of iudepend- bi
ence in the Republican party by his tl
reciprocity appeals and by the inevi- tl
table revolt against Reedism involved n
in the necessary opposition to a gag

Kvangelist Howron Hick. 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. It was given him, "at I
which he poured out and drank a v
tablespoonful. When the ladies re- ?
turned he was in the same bewildered s
state that ho was in when he entered v
Walker street church. f
Mr. Howren needs special treatment,
for he is now almost a physical J
wreck, and unless something is done tl
for him his full recovery is considered v
doubtful.?Atlanta Journal, 2d.

A Tragedy at Ten-Mile Hill. CAt
the dawn of Sunday morning 1
W. II. Alirens was killed in the house
of T. D. Green. It is a strange and
at tho same time revolting story. >
Domestic troubles and infielity were
the causes which led to tho tragedy.
The crime was without witnesses, ex
cept those directly interested in its
termination. The victim of the
tragedy never uttered a word after
the fatal shot was fired. He -was in T

Cunningham Not a Candidate. \
Mr: George I. Cunningham stated a
to a reporter of the Charleston Sun a
at the custom house Saturday that <3
he was emphatically out of the Guber- I
natorial race, and was unwilling that <3
his name be used in any connection c
with it. Said he: "I have seen it in- k
timated in several up-country papers, f
and also in the Sun, of my being the \
Republican candidate against Captain 1
Tillman. This is altogether unau- t
tliorized. I will not be pitted against
him. The fight for Governor is t
strictly between the Democrats of the c
State and the Republicans should not c
dip in."

dropped he is entitled to his opinion
of course, but is sadly in error. The
