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

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

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

EVA HAXILTON CONVICTED.'
The Notorious Adventuress Sentenced to
Two Years in State's Prison.
MAY's LANDING, N. 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

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

THE KENTUCKY MILITIA ORDERED
TO SUPPRESS IT.
Harlan County's Fighting Citizens-A
Proclamation Issued by Governor Buck
ner-The Story of the War.
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

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

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.

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. The little square
jacket of velvet will fall opon to show
the front. It is without revets, reaches
only to the waist line, and is square-car
nieredl. The back miay be straight across
the waist or slightly pointed, and sorae
times two tabs arc adlded in basque
fashion. Silk cord in braiding patter'ns
trims velvet jackets. Silk jackets are
sometimes black on colored dresses, andl
are then faced with the color of the
dress, andl may have revers of the same:
or a black moire jacket on a Henrietta
cloth waist may have green or mahogany
rev'ers and collar, and cord to match on
the edge. Rather large, full sleeves of
the (dress goods are with these jackets

The Rebuilding of Johnstown..
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 CRONIN CASE. .
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
