D1SGRACEFUL CONDUCT
In Colorado of Maj. R. II. Whitley, a
Former Congressman OF the 2d.
Georgia District.

Just after the war, Richard FL.
Whitley, then a prominent lawyer
of Bainbridge, Ga, and who had
been a Confederate soldier, turned
radical and successfully run for
Congress from the End Georgia
District. In his third race he was
beaten by VIM. E. Smith, Of Alba
ny. Shortly after his defeat he,
with his family, removed to Colo
rado and engaged in the practice
OF his profession. He had accu-
mulated considerable property
before he left. His wife was a
very handsome and accomplished
lady, an interesting family CT chill
dron.
We were sorry to see the account
Of his bad Conduct, copied below,
from q Colorado paper, as knowing
him well, we thought Mr.. Whitley,
bearing his politics, a very good
man. Strange that some men will
act so.
BOULDER, Col, Aug. 13-B0ul-
der was treated 10 quite a social
sensation last evening, and it was
the topic Of conversation on the
streets to-day, and many were the
varied expressions of opinions, not
a few of which expressions were
of disgust and indignation.
A short time ago the News con-
tanned an item stating that gossip
pers were talking Of a disgraceful
scene which was enacted on the
public streets aboat dark, and in
which a prominet lawyer and pol
itician had knocked his wife down
because she attempted to follw him
in his evening walk with woman
Of i'll repute. The trouble then
made public eliminated last even
ing in a divorce and marriage. At
that time names were not mention
ed by the newspapers. Now the
matter is public property, having
passed Though the courts, and the
public outside Of Boulder will
doubtless be surprised to learn
that the prominent lawyers who
has thus figured in disgrace is
none other than Major Richard
Whitley.
In the county court yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock Mrs,
Whitley was granted a divorce
on the grounds Of cruelty. The
instance Of the Major knocking
his wife down on the streets above
referred to was but a very small
part Of the cruelty in which Mrs.
Whitley's petition abounds. She
claims that she has been thus treat
ed for years. Whitley appear
ed in court, but did not offer any
resistance to the granting of the
divorce. In fact he said: Il sup
pose Mollie's demands will have
to be granted She seems deter
mined to have her own way"
The divorce was granted by the
court, and within two hours after
wards Major Whitley was married
to Mollie Strickland, the female
with whom he was walking when
he knocked his wife down upon
the street.
The ties which were put asunder
by the divorce had been in exis-
tence thirty-three years, and six
Or seven children are the fruits Of
their married life. Some Of them
are married, and all but two little
girls are grown up to manhood
and womanhood. Two daughters
and two sons have been living at
home here.
Mrs. Whitley is a refined and
elegant lady, and has the sympathy
Of every one in Boulder. The dis
graced husband has been q men,
Der Of Congress and is a lawyer Of
considerable ability,

THE B. AND ". ROAD SOLD.
II. B. Plant Adds it to His Sys-
tenn.

New York, Aug. 26.-The En-
langer syndicate, through J. Selig-
man, Of this city, sold to-day the
entire capital stock Of the Bruins
wick and Western railway, extend
ing from Brunswick to Albany,
Ga, to Fl. B. Plant, of New York.
The purchaser takes control on
September 1st. Arrangements
will be made at once to put the
railroad in frst-class order. This
road is the shortest line from the
West to Savannah, Ga, ank Jack
sonville, Fla.
The road was purchased by
fred Wolf, Of Montgomery, Ala,
for the Erlangor syndicate about
four years ago. The price stated
at the time was 100000. The
syndicate made slight improve
ments, and did not attempt to
carry out its original intentions,
which were to extend The road so
as to connect with the Cincinnati
Southern and thus make connec-
tons with the West.
The road under the manage
ment of the syndicate is said never
have made any money. In fact, it
did not pay more than running
expenses, its trade being almost
entirely local. It was poorly
equipped, and its business was, to
a certain extent, crippled by other
roads.
THE BONDS OF THE ROAD
were largely held in Germany
Seligman had some interest in the
bonds, and last winter he made a
trip over the road for the purpose
of discovering It's condition. At
that time it was said that he ex-
pressed an intention to carry out
the original purpose Of the syndi-
cate. He was accompanied on
that trip by a number Of New
York capitalists, and also by Pres
idant Raoul, Of the Georgia Cen
trail, and Mr.. Plant, of the Sayan-
nan, Florida and Western. 1t
was supposed that if the road was
not extended it woald be sold to
the Georgia Central and the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western.
Soon afterwards it became evi-
dent that the Erlanger people did
not intend to extend the road, and
that the purpose was to sell it to
the best advantage. In fact, to
bring about that object reports
were circulated in this city that
the Erlanger people intended to
build an extension from Waycross,
Ga, to Jacksonville, Fla. This
was to bring the Savannah, Flori-
la and Western to terms. A re-
port was also circulated that they
intended to build from Albany in
to Alabama. This was intended to
hit the Georgia Central.
Within the last few weeks it has
been understood in railroad cir
cles that negotiations would be
opened for the purchase Of the
road. Last week number Of
Georgia railroad men arrived
here, and communications were a.
once opened with the agents Of
the Erlanger people. tits under
stood that the sale was a compro-
mise. 1t is unknown here wether
the Erlanger people made the
first advances or whether Mr..
Plant was an anxious purchaser
tits believed, however, that MIR.
Plant has made e good bargain.
Men well up in railroad matters
here say that he can utilize the
road to great advantage and can
make it much more than pay a
good interest on The purchase
price. This purchase will make
his railroad system include about
900 miles Of road in South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida.

Lnwxcr ker,s Testimony.

LAWYER Ker's testimony before the
Springer Committee makes one thing
verv clear. Its that Mr.. Bliss, the lead
uf- attorney for the government in the
star route cases. did all he could to pre-
vent the Indictment of Mr.. Kellogg, and
that he attempted to shield Mr.. Dorsey.
Il Is certain that he made a trial Of the
charges against Mr.. Kellogg impossible
~ his management Of the case before the
grand Jury. Three grand juries failed TO
mud an Indictment against MIR. Kellogg
because the charges against him were not
presented As strongly as they might
have been. When, at last. an
Indictment was found he was
shielded from prosecution by the statute
Of limitations The case against Dorsey.
Brady and others failed not because
there was not sufficient evidence TO con-
Wet them. but because the merits of the
case were lost in such mass of evidence

The DnnriIfe Renort.

The report Of Mr.. Sherman's DanVille
investigating committee is, what it was
doubtless intended to be. a campaign doe
ument rather than a fair statement Of
facts as shown by the testimony. 1t was
prepared by Senator Lapham, of New
York. who is known to be one of the most
bitter partisans in the Senate. He does
not admit that the Democrats who testi-
fed before the committee told the truth
in a single instance where it was impor-
tant. He. however, accepts without
question the evidence of the negroes and
Readjusters, and, taking what they
said as basis for his report,
shows a condition Of affairs in Virginia
calculated TO create an unfayOrable i'm
preston OF Virginia Democrats through
out the North. The minority report
which Senator Vance will submit in a
few DAYS will, of course, do something
toward dissipating this erroneous I'M
preston, but, however strong the minor
ity report may be, it will not be sufficient
to wholly cOunteract the evil effects OF
the majority report. II is the intention
of the Republican leaders, doubtless, 10
use the majority report extensively in the
Presidential campaign, and they, there
foe. took pains to makeIt as available for
their purposes as possible. Sherman has
hopes that he may be the can
didate of his party, and if
be is be can be depended upon to make
every possible use of the partisan part OF
the material which the Danville and
COpiah county committees collected to
prejudice the North against Southern
Democrats. There Is, however. some
satisfaction in knowing that the country
is about tired Of Southern outrage stories,
and accepts them with many doubts
respecting their truth. Unprejudiced
people in all parts of the country ought TO
be pretty we'll satisfied that the Danville
affair was an unprecedented riot, and
that Malone and his lieutenants were
largely responsible for it.
