CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 25.- Two years
ago Bishop GilmOur, of the Cleveland
diocese, published a communication in
his paper, the Catholic Unigerse, and in
the Penny Press, in which he charged
Edward Cowles, editor of the Leader,
with having treated his daughter in a
brutal manner-sO much so, as 10 cause
her to become the invalid she was. Mr..
Cowles had the Bishop and the
editor OF the URiUsrSe arrested
for criminal libel, and also
instituted suits for damages against the
Bishop, the URiUerSe and Penny Press for
S25, 900 each. Owing to the continued
illness of Mr.. COwles' daughter her depo-
sition could not be taken and the cases
were continued from time to time. To-
day the Bishop published card making
a retraction of the charges he published
against Mr.. Cowles and all the suits have
been withdrawn.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Little Doubt but That the Capitol Con
tract VIII be let Very Soon.

ATLANTA, Sept. 25.-The Capitol Com
mission remained in session all dav ex-
amining and comparing bids made in de-
tail. The bids are of such a character
that the board has every reason to believe
that it will be able to put the building
under contract within the limit prescribed
by the act, which is in round figures
about $9OO,O00. This is about 5000 600 less
than the lowest bid made to do the entire
work at the first meeting held by the
commission for the purpose of letting the
work. All the parties bidding on the
whole work are prepared to give
the necessary bond for the faithful dis
charge of the obligations of the contract.
during the day number of contractors
were before the commission explaining
some of the details OF the character of
work that they would do if the contract
was gwen to them. The situation guaran-
tees prediction that dirt for GeOrgia's

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-pan Taimage's
Sons say: Last week the most extrava-
CANT reports were circulated as to the
damage done to the rice crop along the
Atlantic coast. At the time of the re-
ports heavy rains were falling and the
situation was dismal enough to excite
the gravest apprehension. With a cessa-
tiOn of the storm and detailed reports
from various rivers it is definitely ascer-
tanned that planters generally were more
frightened than hurt. Some individual
planters who had breaks have been nearly
ruined. Others again have met with loss,
their rice being wet, and will, therefore,
turn out damaged, but the
loss in quantity will not be
perceptible in the crop. The damage was
confined to CoOpersVille on the north and
Combahee on the south, as will be seen,
a narrow bed of country embracing the
smallest end Of the rice-growing section.
The season as a whole has been most
favorable for the growth of the crop, and
with an increased acreage a large yield
may be expected-fully 80 per cent. over
