ATLANTA, Jan. 17.-Lizzie Mccormick,
the young woman who last night took
poison with suicidal intent, died this
morning at O'Clock. She was from Glade
Springs, Va, and is said to have graduated
at StauntOn. Her relatives reside at
Lynchburg, Va, and those who claim to
identity the girl refuse to divulge her
right name on account of the respecta-
bility of her family.
Judge Boarman, of the United States
Court, will reach here in the morning,
and on Monday viii be asked to ratify the
appointment Of Henry Fink as receiver
OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia system. 1t is not thought
that the action OF Judge Estes
IN the appointing OF Gen. Alexander and
Rufus L. Dorsey will seriously interfere
with the management of the property.
The opinion here seems to be pretty gem
eral that Mr.. Fink will do more for the
property to bring it in shape than any
other man who could be named. and popu-
lar opinion predicts that he will be allow

Fashion Notes.

Square court trains are revived.
Embroidered turbans are very popular.
Edelweiss brooches of silver are beauti-
full and quite the rage.
Lace and fur are combined in many
dressy reception toilets.
The Jersey corset cover bids fair to re-
place those OF cotton or linen.
Jeweled pins are the favOrite ornament
for the hair with evening dress.
Bonnets are worn with trained dresses
at full-dress receptions and church we'd
dings.
Among the most fashionable revivals of
the season are the matelasse cloths and
silks.
The newest skirts are perfectly plain,
falling in straight lines from the waist to
the hem.
Jet beading hats bid fair to be as I'M
ending and everlasting fashion as seal
skin fur.
Little girls evening dresses are beauti-
fully trimmed with silver braid and
swans down.
All velvet dresses for evening wear are
made of two kinds of the same color, a
brOcaded and plain velvet.
Spangles and gold thread feather stitch
ing unite the scraps of crazy patchwork
bags, and gold fringe or tassels trim them,
but they must be closed with ribbons for
a draw string.
Silk or wool jerseys trimmed with vel
veteen cOlors, cuffs and waistcOats will
be worn with plain velvet skirts and SUI
rah sash draperies, or fine wool foule or
cashmere sash drapery lined with surah.
A novel notion is card case covered
with a portion of a silk pocket handker-
chief with two corners. This is thrust
into the dress at front, 50 that the ends
look like those belonging to a pocket
handkerchief.

BLAZEs SANCTUARY.
A Burning Chimney Sets Fire to the
First PreSbyterian Church

A Burning Chimney Sets Fire tn the
First Presbyterian Church.
What at one time threatened to be a
disastrous conflagration was averted
last night by timely discovery. \ few
minutes after 1890 O'Clock an alarm was
sounded from box 81, Bun and Castor
streets, caused by the discovery Of fire in
the First Presbyterian Church.
There was considerable delay before the
alarm was turned 10, and by the time the
tire department arrived the fire was en-
tirely under control. 1t was discovered "a
few minutes after 10 O'Clock by Joseph
Williams, the cOlored janitor OF the
church, and was then burning in the
pastors study over tae yestibule. Williams
had fired up the fuI mace about noon. On
going to the church about dark he
noticed that the audience room was filed
with smoke, but thinking il had come from
the furnace fues, as is frequently the case
when a IRE is first started, he felt no
alarm. He opened the windows and went
home, after seeing that the fire was all
right in the furnace. Upon returning at
: O'Clock everything appeared to be all
right. a few minutes after 10 he went to
the church again to nil up the furnace
with coal for the night. Upon entering
the door he detected the smoke and heard
the plaster falling in the vestibule
on the south side. The flames
had not yet broken through the wall,
but were burning inside next to the
chimney. Mr. John Harden, one of the
officers Of the church living near by on
Taylor street, was aroused, ard reached
the church just as the flames We're break
ing through the floor. Assistance was
summoned and the furniture was hauled
away from the corner where the fire was,
and with half a dozen bucketfulls Of
water it was got under control. 1t was
evident that the interior of the walls and
the flooring was on fire, and a messenger
was sent to turn in the alarm.
\ line of hose was carried into the
church and upstairs where the fire was
burning. The iiremen cut into the walls,
which were so hot that they could hardly be
touched, and alter a couple Of hours work
the fire was entirely eXtinguished. 1t had
caught from the chimney, which was
Oyerheated. The flues of the furnace had
been recently cleaned, and the strong
draft probably ignited the SCOT in
the chimney which, owing to its
height burned fiercely. and the heated
bricks set fire to the woodwork. The
damage to the church is comparatively
light and will probably not exceed $50.
The carpets and furniture in the pastors
study viii cost as much to be replaced S
ii will to repair the church itself.

JUSTICE GETS MIXED.
The Austrian Treaty Quashes a Suit in
a MaCistrate's Court

The Austrian Treaty Quashes Suit in
a Magistrates Court.
The crew of the Austrian bark Celes-
tina recently commenced proceedings
against the master of the vessel before
Justice Elsinger for wages claimed to be
due, which came near bringing about a
conflict between the local authorities and
the general government.
American seamen arriving in this port
frequently institute suits before local
magistrates to recover wages, and the
crew Of the Celestina concluded they
could do likewise. The attention of the
Austrian Consul was called to the
proceeding, and believing that under the
treaty between the United States and
Austria the master of an Austrian
vessel was not subject to a civil suit by
an Austrian crew, he telegraphed state
ment of the case to the Austrian Minister
at Washington and asked for lnstruc-
tiOns. The matter was brought to the
attention of the State Department, and
was turned over to the Attorney General,
with instructions to take such legal steps
as were necessary in the premises if
the treaty was being violated.
1t is evident by the language of the
treaty that the Austrian COnsuls in all of
IuS pOTLS vi IulS country nave tACluSiNc
jurisdiction over all differences Of a civil
nature between the masters and crews of
Austrian vessels, and the Attorney Gen
eral yesterday telegraphed United States
District Attorney Darnell to institute the
necessary legal proceedings for the pro-
lection of the Austrian Consul in his
rights. In the meantime the provisions
of the treaty were brought to the atten-
ton of Justice Elsinger and the suit was
dismissed. The seamen then went to an
other Justice and tried to institute the
suit, but were unsuccessful, and last
night the Consul succeeded in adjusting
their differences and the difficulty is con-
sidered ut an end.

ELECTED TO TIE WRONG OFFICE.

ELECTED TO THE WRONG OFFICE.
Camden County's Contested Election
For Ordinary Develops Some Singular
Features
Camden county will furnish for the
consideration of the next Legislature a
contested election case, mentioned in the
NEWS yesterday, presenting, among
other singular features, the fact that the
contestant was candidate for one office
and was elected to another. This result,
he alleges, was brought ABOUT by fraud
on the part of bis opponent. At the cleo
ton for county officers on Jan. :,
A. F, Mira, the present incumbent, was
a candidate for Ordinary, W. b. Van
Nalkenburg was candidate
against him and was elected.
Mr.. Mira now claims that Mr.. Vanval-
kenburg's election was accomplished by
fraud land has served notice on the latter
OF contest before the Legislature. In
his notice he gives the following as the
grounds Of his contest:
First. That on Dec. 4. 1884. he put
up notices ana circulated printed cards
announcing his candidacy for Ordinary
and sent a second party to Mr.. Fanvai-
kenburg to ask him whether he was a
candidate for that Office, and that the
latter, with intent to deceive, answered
that he was not.
Second. That on the eve of the election
Mr.. anvalkenburg, with intent to de-
celYe, forwarded through the post office to
certain gentlemen notices purpOrting to
have been issued by the Democratic Com
mlttee, certifying that tickets inclOsed,
on which the name of Mr. Mira appeared
as a candidate for Coroner, and that of
Mr.. Nanvalkenburg appeared as candi-
date for Ordinary, had been selected by
that committee.
Third. That Mr. Nanvalkenburg being
aware of the fact that Mr.. Mira was can
dldate for Ordinary caused to be printed,
with intent to defraud, certain ballots on
which the contestants name was put for
the office of Coroner.
Other grounds OF the cOnteet are that
the cOntestee caused the contestants
name to be printed on the ballots as a
candidate for Ordinary without the lat
ter's knowledge or consent, and circulated
the ballots throughout the county on the
eve of the election, misleading and de-
ceivlng the voters. The contestant fur

his opponent caused to be circulated
about the several voting places of the
county a report that he had declined to
be a candidate for Ordinary, and was
candidate for Coroner.

nah in 1876 has sent the papers in the
case to a friend here, to be placed in the

the comedy ''Jacquine; or, Paste

comedy drama, while it has nothing
new or startling in the way OF plot, is
said to have a good dialogue, with the
situations dramatic, affOrding the star
chance to display her talents 70 good adj
vantage. 1t is said to be interesting
throughout, and though it cannot be
termed strictly original in some Of its
scenes, as suggestions from other dramas
crop out mere and there, it can with safety
be pronounced one Of the best speciality
plavs on the stage. Miss Vickers IS said
TO be possessed Of a bright, expressive

order. Her singing and dancing are eX-

HOW TO ESCAPE ToRNADoEs.
Some Useful Rules of cNe Signal Service
Repeated.

The rules published by the Signal Ser
vice for escaping from a tornado are based
upon the usually straight course taken by
those destructive storms, at a rate of
about 80 miles an hour, for some point
between east and north. The distinguish
ing mark of its advance is dark, PEN
dent, funDel-shaped cloud at the centre of
the most violent winds. If this cloud is
seen in the northwest or southeast the
tornado Will probably pass on one side or
other Of the observer. If seen in the
southwest the observer can, by few
moments watching, discover whether the
funnel cloud will pass northwestern south
east of him, and should as quickly as
possible make for the more open side.
If the funnel cloud seems to come di-
reclly toward the observer he should run
to the northwest, because the winds on
that side are a little less violent than on
the other. But the only safe retreat for
any one who is in the path of tornado IS
under ground, and therefore in tornado
stricken regions every house should be
provided with an underground chamber,
easy OF access and guarded by a strong,
grated door.
TornadOes must not be COMPOUNDED with
cyclones, for a cyclone or revolving storm
only occasionally develops tornado.
When the regular Western winds are dis
turbed by cyclones, and the cold air OF
the North west6rn plains meets the warm
sOutherly winds from the Gulf of Mexico,
tornadoes may be formed few miles east
of the average contact line of the two
currents. Several usually occur at about
the same time.
