AUGUSTA, May 4-The stockholders of
solved to make such mortgages on the prop
ertY as would complete 1t to Spartanburg
and meet the Virginia Midland. Work on
the iron bridge across the Savannah river is
now going on, and trains over this road will
move the next crop. Par was offered to
the city OF Augusta to-day for its stock in
this road, but the Mayor declined it. The
offer came from the direction of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad.
Ii Mr.. Plants friends could get this road
they would connect the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad system
through the Port Royal and Augusta Road
with the Charleston and Savannah Railroad,
thus forming large and commanding com
bi0ation, and such possibly was suggested
to-day by the offer.
Central stock advanced to-day from 141 to
to 145, with sales at 14411. Georgia is

victim up with hatchet and then robbed
him. Last winter, after his first conviction,
he was granted new trial, but to-day de-
cides his fate.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
OF the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad was
held to-day. President Verdery, in his re-
report, is confident of the early completion
OF the road to Greenwood, 8. c., and thence
to Spartanburg. A resolution was unani-
mously adopted authorizing the Board of
Directors to make any arrangements that
may be satisfactory with the Virginia or
North Carolina Midland Railroad for a

LONDON, May 4 1t is stated that Mr..
Bradlaugh will again enter the House of
Commons and demand that he be sworn If
the bill for the amendment of the Parlia-
mentary oath act is considerably delayed.
The bill is not likely to pass quickly, as the
House is much pressed with other affairs.
In the House of Commons, the Speaker
said he had received official notice from the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland of the arrest Of
John Dillon, NJ. P.
Mr.. Thomas P. O'Connor, Home Rule

ford borough, gave notice of his intention
to move to add Mr.. Dillon to the committee
on the conservancy of rivers.
The grand jury has found a true bill
against Herr Most, the publisher of Freiheit
the Socialist organ, for melting to murder,
with a rider, that such publications are un-
English and ought to be vigorously dealt
with.
The Central NeaoS states that MIR. Dillon
will tomorrow vacate his seat in the House
OF Commons, and that Mr.. Patrick Eagan
will probably succeed him as member for
TpperarY.
In the House of Commons last night Mr..
Rowland P. Blennerhasset (Home Ruler),
member for Kerry, moved a resolution in
favor OF aoolishing the power of levyiug
distress for rent of agricultural holdings in
Great Britain and Ireland. The govern
ment supported the resolution, and it was
agreed to without division.
In the House Of Commons to-day the bill

Sundays was read second time. Mr..
Gladstone spoke in support of the bill
Justice Denman, in the Central Criminal

He was conveyed to Galway.
A manifesto of the National Land League

The Weakness of SeeurItIes-An In.

cow.

LONDON, May 4-The Times. in its fnan-
cial article, says: "The continued weakness
in Russian bonds is now traceable apparent
ly to the more permanent effects of the
Cars murder and the serious fears of
revolution in Russia, which are now enter
tanned"
BERLIN, May 4.-There is much agitation
in the Baltic provinces of Russia among the
peasants, who desire the absolute ownership
OF land now held on lease. The Lutheran
pastors In many parts of Esthland have re-
fused TO administer the oath of allegiance
TO the Gar, or did so with manifest re-
luctance. The local press freely expresses
the opinion that the government is in
capable OF contributing to the prosperity of
tue country, and regrets that the former
advocates OF separation have left no worthy
successor. a hand bill has been distributed
az Forport, calling upon the inhabitants of
the baltic provinces not to swear allegiance
uhtli tne Gar has granted them laws and
land rights equal to those possessed by the
Russian people. 1t urges the people to re-
main united, but to refrain from open re-
bellion.
manifesto circulated at Vindau, Cour-
land, says: "Let the people refuse to swear
allegiance to the Gar before the Russian
ot1icials, and only swear before the local
officials. We cannot longer be deceived
like dogs. We must remain firm.
We despise and denounce the nobility.
May they disappear from Esthland like
snow in spring. Whoever tears down this
notice risks his life" The above docu-
ments were composed in the local dialects,
presumably by peasants.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 4.-The 90 los

for pssting revolutionary proclamations ap-
pealing to the workmen in the Kremcubies-

vent dodgers from harboring any per-
sons without the knowledge of the police.

Mrs Louisa g. Allan ..and Edgar A.
Poo
New York Times.


Mrs. Louisa G. Allan, who has lust
died at 50, in Richmond, and whom the
dispatches declare to have been the fos-
ter-mother of Edgar Allan Poe, was not
the first wife of Mr. Allan, but the sec
ond, and appears to have had great
deal to do with the final and permanent
rupture between Poe and the man by
whom he had been adopted. The first
Mrs. Allan was one of the best friends
he ever had, and most of his biographers
have agreed in saying that
when she died turning point
in his fortunes had been reached.
She loved him more than her husband
did, who seems to have been proud
rather than fond of him. The public
will probably never obtain satisfactory
explanation of that unfortunate quarrel;
but if Mrs. Allan, who died the other
day, had always remained Miss Patter-
son, and Mr.. Allan had remained a
widower to the end of the few years
then left to him, Poe's fortune
and career would beyond doubt
have been very different from what
they were. When he was adopted
by the Allans they were childless,
and their ample fortune was gener.
ously drawn upon to educate, amuse,
and pamper the brilliant boy. He grew
up with the notion that he was to be
John Allan's heir, and had the first Mrs
Allan lived five years longer he probably
would have been. She died in 1929,
and her husband in 1884. The
second marriage took place about 1880,
and Poes troubles then grew
apace. The new Mrs. Allan did not like
him-if not from the start, especially
after her first child was born-and the
sensitive Poe naturally resented her un-
Just treatment. Three children came of
this marriage, all boys, who, while mere
babies, found themselves heirs to John
Allan's estate. Poe was cut off without
a dollar. One of the many recent writer's
on Poe-Mrs. Weiss-who knew him in
his last days at Richmond, has declared
that the quarrel was simply
family affair, which was not in
the first instance the fault of
Poe; that che received extreme pro-
vocation and insult, and that of all the
parties concerned it appears that he was
the least culpabln and the most wronged."
1t is generally believed that Poe left the
house and never returned to it as mem
Der of the family or guest. When Mr..
Allan was on his deathbed Poe learned
that his foster-father had spoken kindly
of him and expressed a desire to see him.
and accordingly went to the house. But
he sought an interview in vain. Mr..
Allan. Mrs. Weiss says, was not even
informed of his call, and died without
seeing him.
