POLITICS IN GERMANY.

The Policy of the Socialists in the Next
Election Under Editorial Fire.
BERLIN, Sept. 9.-Herr Liebkecht, men,
Der of the Reichstag, has issued through
the Zurich Journal a declaration of the
policy of the Socialists in the coming
election. He advises Socialists to sup
port those candidates of the Liberal party
who are opposed to the government or
national candidates in the districts where
it is impossible to return Socialists. -
The Frankfort Gazette, referring to the
above advice of Herr Liebkecht, says that
the partisans of the Liberal right will
give their votes to the Socialist candidates
rather than to the Conservatives or Ma
tiOnalists.
The Peoples Gazette of Cologne. the
leading provincial organ of the centre.
recommends the Catholics to make the
best possible efforts to prevent the forma-
tion in the Reichstag of a Conservative
national majority. The Gazette says that
it would much prefer an alliance with the
Liberals.

Payne, Wiley s. Co.'s Failure the Result
of Speculation and Dishonesty.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. "a sensation
developed last night out of the assign
ment of Payne, Wiley & Co., well known
cotton factors and commission merchants
of this city. The assignment was sup
posed to have been caused by the shrink
age in values, but at a meeting OF the
creditors last night it was shown that the
firm had been engaged in swindling banks
by hypothecating warehouse receipts
when the goods were not in the house.
The swindling has been going on two
years, till the stealings amount to about
$144,000. The liabilities of the firm are
$l6l,0O and the assets $4,000.
The following banks are victimized: :
United States Bank of New York, $67.500;
Louisville banks-Merehants' National,
$4,000; Commercial, $4,000; City Ma
tiOnal, $4,000; Bank of Kentucky, ST.
600; Kentucky National, $500; Louis
vile Banking Company, $1,000, and ST..
Louis Bagging Company. 81 200.
Payne and Wiley are young men, and
came here several years ago from Scott
county, Kentucky. They stood well, and
had almost unlimited credit. After the
assignment they left the city, and are
supposed 10 nave returned TO scout county.
The firm Is supposed to have lost money
by speculation.
There are some new developments in
the Payne, Wiley & Co. swindle. Wiley is
at the house of relatives near Lexington.
Payne did not 90 to Scott county as
he said he would, and he is thought to
have gone to Canada. 1t was discovered
to-day that Payne had hypothecated ware
house receipts for 1000 rolls of bagging
for personal Indebtedness to the Kentucky
National Bank, making the total number
of rolls hypOthecated 40, the value of
which is 81 S21 600

Inc commissioners Decide to Open
Subscriptions in the Districts.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 9.-In response to
the call issued by Gov. Mcdaniel, a con-
ventiOn Of the State, district and county
Commissioners interested in GeOrgia's
display at New Orleans met this morning
in the Senate chamber. District Com
missioner Jones presided. A number of
speeches were made, the object of which
was to devise some plan by which fund
could be raised to defray the expenses of
getting together the resources of Georgia
for the proposed display at New Orleans.
Reports received from many sections Of
the State, and the character of the re-
marks made by those who adj
dressed the meeting, showed that
little or nothing had been done. Judge
Harden, County Commissioner for Chat
ham, made an admirable speech, in which
he explained the plan Of action in getting
up the resources of his section and the
success he was meeting with. His re-
marks were listened to attentiveIy, and
were productive of much good in the way
of stimulating his cO-wOrkers. In cOusid-
Grafton of the discOuFagement which has
been met by the Commissioners in the re-
sprctive districts, the question of deter
mining whether or not State display
should be made, whether the Commission
ers should continue their labOrs or give
up the undertaking, occupied the atten-
tiOn of the meeting until almost | O'Clock.
Finally the following resolutions were Of
fered by J. 5. Davidson. of Augusta:
!. ResOI1ed. That the District Commission
ers be appointed a finance committee, to
report to the State Commissioner by Sept. %
the amount of money they can raise in their
respective districts by actual subscription,
and that they be authorized to employ such
means TO accomplish the result desired as to
them shall seem best. and that the District
Commissioners are hereby requested to direct
the County Commissioners To open subscrip-
tIOn lists in their several counties to meet the
expenses of the state Commissioner in
making a competitive and credItable exhibit
at New Orleans.
. Rss0lC6d. That upon these said reports
being made the State Commissioner shall de-
termiue what Is the most advisable course to
be pursued in reference TO making an exhibit
uDOn the part Of the tate.

BATENrANs DOUBLE CRIME.
He Tells of His Horrible Massacre OF
Two Innocent Girls.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-Ollver 81. Bate
man, the young man arrested for the
double crime Of murder and previous out
rage committed on two little girls, near
Flag Springs, on Aug. 81, last night made
confession to reporter who interviewed
him in the Savannah jail. He detailed
everything connected with the horrible
deed, and now stands prepared to meet
his fate. The fact OF his confession is
unknown to the people of Savannah at
the present writing, but when it becomes
public, Bateman will probably be lynched.
DODGING HIS VICTIMS.
In his confession Bateman says that he
was home when the girls came there. He
saw them 60 into the woods to pick hazel
nuts, and followed them fifteen minutes
afterwards. They were near the end of
cOrntield, when he came up with them.
While be was talking with them he saw
Henry Knappenberger pass. He then in
duced the children to go further into the
cOrntield, and while the eldest was walk
ing in front of him he shot her. She
turned around, and as she did
so he shot her again, killing her instantly.
The other girl then started to run, but he
followed and caught her. She begged so
hard for him to let her go that he came
very near doing so. He did let 90 of her,
but knowing she would tell, he caught
her again, threw her down and cut her
throat. 1t was 10 or 20 minutes after
Knappenberger's passing that he shot the
eldest girl.
OUTRAGES A CORPSE.
After killing the younger girl, he went
back to his first victim and outraged her
person, after which he mutilated her, so
as to create the impression that it was
the deed of a craZV man. The eldest girl
said nothing after he shot her, but the
other girl cried out, and he held his hand
over her mouth to prevent her being
heard. After these terrible occurrences,
he went to the creek. washed his
hands, threw his knife into the
stream, and then went home. When the
father of the girls came to his house in
quiring for them, he offered to go and help
search for them, but his relatives would
not allow him as they thought he was i'll.
The tiend declares that he was induced to
confess owing to the circumstantial man.
ner in which II. Knappenberger had ac-
cused him of the crime.

EUFALA, ALA, Sept. "a case which
came near being one of starvation, in the
person of Aunt Mandy Ingram, a cOlOred
woman about 50 years old, was discovered
yesterday. She was visited by the News
correspondent. She stated that she had
been confined to her bed for four months,
and that for several days and nights in
succession she had been left alone and
entirely deserted by people Of her own
color. The exposure of the case to-day
has brought an indignant denial from the
members of the cOlOred Baptist Church,
who say that the church has been taking
care of her. and that the reports to the
contrary are untrue. The denial does
not hold good, because, aside from
the story Of the woman herself,
the NEWS correspondent has visited her
on two occasions, when there was not
soul around. and he had TO serve her with
food and drink himself. The case has eX-
cited the greatest interest, resulting in
the immediate organization of a Ladies'
Relief Society. The city authorities took
the case in hand, and many ladies visited
the poor old woman to-day. She is OneOf
the ante bellum aunties, and her pathway
to the grave will be made smooth by her
white friends. especially the ladies.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 9.-Eforts are be-
ing made which it is thought will be sue
cessful to have State fair held in this
city in February, and also to have the
grounds owned by the Park Association
fitted up handsomely and used for trotting
purposes.
1t is rumOred on good authority that
Walls has rejected heavy pecuniary in
ducements offered by Bisbee to withdraw
from the contest in his favor. The breach
between the two candidates continues to
widen. 1t is now believed that Walls
will fight to the bitter end. Bisbee is
making dull, cheerless canvass. His

little spirit.

Rival Claimants to the Ownership En-
gage in a Lively War.
DETROIT, Sept. 9.-War is raging in
the office of the EUening journal of this
city. A few weeks ago G. NJ. Hubbard,
general managing editor, was discharged
by Lloyd Breeze, editor-in-chIef. Hub
bard claimed to be held by his contract
until January, and refused to consider
himself discharged. Having secured a
majority Of the stock of the paper, he yes
terday, accompanied by friends, entered
the Office and declared the posi-
tiOns of the directors vacant and
elected himself and his friends
to their places. Breeze gathered the office
employees together and threw out the in
truders, but later they were admitted
as stockholders. Last night both factions
were holding the fort and claiming vic
tory. Hubbard has sworn out an in~
junction, claiming to be in possession of
the office, and that Breeze was interfering.
To-day the Journal comes out under
BreeZe's management, and gives history
of the case. He claims that Hubbard
peTjured himself, and states that he has
never been in possession OF the office.
Breeze refused to recognize the injunc-
tiOn of the court. This afternoon a writ

able to gain admittance, the door being
locked
