The thirsty inhabitants of Atlanta,
Ca, who. on the LIST of July, saw the
prohibition act go into effect, are now
celebrating because by O. singular cir
cumstance they may enjoy the flowing
bowl for few weeks longer. ALI the
retail licenses expired on July /, but
there were three or four Wholesale Ii
censes which run until fall, and the
principal hotel purchased one OF these
for an almost fabulous sum. The
strange spectacle is therefore witnessed
of a big hotel in the barrel business.
Having had a foretaste of what it
means to live in q "dry" town, the
people who take kindly to alcohol are
laying in their supplies for the winter,
and there is prospect that Atlanta
will not be so very dry after all for
awhile yet.

A MARTKNET'R FATE.
Sensational Developments Concerning
Lake Captains Death.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 22.-The schooner
Mary E. Cook reached this port yes
terday, bringing further details of the
tragic death of Capt. Williams. The
manner in which he lost his life is far
more sensational than was first re-
ported. When the vessel left Hamil-
ton Capt. Williams was drunk, but
insisted on taking g. trick at the wheel
while the crew made sale. At the very
outset the crew saw he was in an ugly
frame of mind, but paid no attention
to the abuse showered upon them.
The wind was blowing half gale from
the northward. Disregarding all idea
of danger, the captain ordered every
stitch of canvas spread. While the
crew were setting the fore-gaff-
topsail he dashed the wheel
and staggered forward to the fore
rigging. Then he began cursing the
men in savage manner and in his
drunken rage struck q young French
man named Louis Fisher, who was
making his first trip on the schooner.
Fisher did not return the blow, but
told the captain he would report him
to the United States commissioner
when the vessel got to Chicago. This
threat made the captain all the more
furious and he ordered Fisher into the
forecastle. Fisher obeyed and the cap
tain retired aft. A few minutes later
he sang out to Sam Eek, the mate, to
take the wheel, ard then disappeared
into the cabin. He was below but g.
short time, and when he again came
on deck he fourished q revolver
as he rushed forward, shouting
like mailman for Fisher to
come out of the forecastle. Fisher
obeyed the order of his master
like a true sailor, but no sooner did he
show his head above the break in the
deckload than Capt. Williams leveled
his revolver and fired. Fortunately
the liquor had made the captains aim
unsteady, and the bullet flew wide Of
the mark. Then the captain showed
the muzzle of the revolver against the
sailors head and commanded him to
get down on his knees. Fisher did so,
and at the same time seized hold of
the captains wrists. He tried to
! wrest the revolver from his grasp. A
violent struggle ensued, and as they
reached the edge of the deckload the
vessel lurched. Both pitched headlong
into the sea, and the struggle ended.
Fisher was saved and the captain was
drowned in the manner previously de-
scribed, only it was Fisher who first
caught sight of the captains body and
pulled it into the boat.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July "a. = The
Times special giving the particulars
of q mountain fight at Hazard, KY,
Sunday between the French and Ever
sole faction have just been received.
The Eversoleparty we're outnumbered
and taken by surprise and retreated
after revolver fight of several
minutes resulting in the killing of one
of the French party and the wounding
of three others. At subsequent en-
gagement French and Eversole are
said to have both been killed.
French and Eversole are called rival
merchant princes by mountain GUS
toners who come to trade at Hazard,
a mountain town eighty miles from a
railroad. They are both educated,
wealthy men, and do a large business,
selling to several counties. The
trouble grew out of business rivalry.
Last June, French anticipated trouble,
and ordered lot of Winchester rifles
and armed men from Leslie and Bell
Counties, KY. These met the Ever
sole faction Sunday, with the above
result. No particulars can be had,
owing to the remoteness of the warlike
country. French is a Knight Templar

Verdict in the Case of Crawford As aims,
Crawford and Dixie.


LONDON, July 23.-The case of Craw-
ford against Crawford and Dixie was
given to the jury this afternoon. They
returned a verdict finding Mrs. Craw.
ford guilty of adultery with Sir Charles
Dixie, and granting Mr.. Crawford a.
divorce.
The jury we're absent twenty min
utes only. The decision arrived at by
the jury is that Mr.. Crawford is en-
titled to divorce from his wife on the
ground of adultery with Sir Charles
Dixie as decided nisi by Justice Sir
Charles Butt, on February II last, the
present case being simply a rehearing
at the Intervention of the Queen g proc
tor for the purpose OF ascertaining
whether the decree nisi should not be
set aside on the ground of collision
between Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford or on
new evidence invalidating the wife's
confession. The jury finding in favor
of Mr.. Crawford, the proceeding con-
firms the previous decree, and makes
it absolute at the expiration of the
six months attaching to it. This six
months will expire on August II, the
decree nisi having been issued on Feb
ruary IL. The Queens proctor has
been condemned to pay the costs of
the present proceeding.
