the ship yard at the other end. Upon one
occasion the prince was entertained at a

Fancy that! The house where future

In recent times the Latham house has had

AN ASSASSIN ALTON.
A Negress Shot at Summerville Dies
From Her Wounds.

AUGUSTA. GA, Oct. 5-The colored citi
zens here are greatly excited over an assas
sination OF a dastardly nature. On Monday
last, while Martha Ann Harris, negro
woman &c years of age, was eating supper
at her house in Summerville, three miles
| from this city, some one pulled open a win
dow and fired on her, infilcting an ugly
| wound in the side of her face with shot,
severing the main artery. The woman
| died last night. At the coroner's in
quest some startling facts were brought
| to light. Martha's intimates have all
along understood that the father of her two
| Legitimate children was her stepfather,
| Edmund Harris, a negro Presbyteria n
| minister Of unsavory reputation, who has
| been up before his superiOrs frequently for
adultery. He is worth about $4,000 and
was republican member of the legislature
from Warren county in 1867. He is feared
by all the negroes who know him.
ARRESTED AT THE GRAVE.
Harris was arrested at the grave of his
stepdaughter and charged with beng the
instigator of the murder, though he had
offered $50 reward for the capture of that
parsonage, purchased a handsome coffin for
the dead woman and paid for the cemetery
lot. Harris was quickly conveyed to the
county Jail here for safety.
nv bho SOiOhCi ih1uSoo opfOihi "pihCh
testified to having seen negro man loafing
around the premises, armed with shotgun,
and from their descriptions Nathan
Walton, employed on Harris plantation as
a farmland, was arrested. He confessed to
having done the shooting, for which, he
says, Harris promised him IS. He confessed
because Harris did not pay him. After he
did the shooting he hid under the house and
the blood of his victim trickled through the
floor on him. He does not seem TO realize
the enormity of his crime. He was taken
to the guard house of the United States
arsenal and locked up with sentinels outside
his door.
PREVIOUS ATTEMPT.
Harris was charged by the police several
weeks ago with attempting to kill Martha
Ann on Jones street, when another woman
who was talking to her was shot with
parlor rifle. The case could not be proven
against him. The row then was about Mar
tina wanting him to support her children.
They quarreled bitterly frequently. Last
week they wrangled about looking glass
which Harris carried off. though Martha
claimed that it was her property. Harris,
when seen at the Jail tonight, protested his
innocence and talked in his flowery pulpit

FATE OF THE AMENDMENT
THE QUESTION IN DOUBT, BUT DE-
FEAT PROBABLE.

A Majority OF 728 Against 1t at Last
Accounts - Full Returns Received
from only 43 Counties up to Last
Night-A Denial from a Member OF
the Alliance.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 5.-The returns from
Wednesdays election are coming in slowly.
So far only forty-three counties have sent
them in, and it is impossible to predict with
any degree of certainty the fate of the
amendment The vote so far shows a ma
jority of 72S against the amendment. The
impression about the Office of the secretary
of state is that the amendment is
defeated. The counties of Chatham, Rich
mond, Fulton, Bibb and Muscogee voted
pretty solidly for the amendment, but the
back counties voted against it. The i'm
preston prevails that the Farmers Alliance
voted against the amendment solidly, but

Building Delivered.

The Formal Opening Exercises-The
Building Delivered.
ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 5.-The School of
Technology is now open for business. The
doors were thrown open to-day and the
machinery was put in motion by Miss Nellie
1nman, daughter of Samuel M. Inman.
This feature of the exercises took place at
noon, and was witnessed by large audience
of spectators Among those present were
the full board of chronological commission
lers and large number of the
trustees of the university. Soon
after the starting of the machinery,
upon invitation of the commissioners, the
audience gathered in the south end of the
machinery department, where Prof Hig
gins of the chronological school of Worces-
ter, Mass, who has secured a years leave of
absence for the purpose of accepting the
position of superintendent of the machine
department of Georgia's chronological
school during that period, delivered an ad-
dress prepared for the occasion.
DESCRIBING THE PLANT
He gave a description of the buildings
and different departments, both in the
school and workshop. He gave a full de-
scription of the equipments of the work
shop. After his address he invited the
visitors to inspect the various de-
All of the machinery was in mo-
ton and a score of mechanics were busy
on work of every character from the max
ing of models to the casting of pieces of
machinery. The educational building was
then visited and given thorough inspection.
Many high compliments were passed upon
Georgia's new enterprise.
The exercises lasted over two hours.
Seventy-three students have so far en-
tered the school, and it is probable that this
number will be increased to 100 in two
weeks. j. NJ. Kehoe and A. w. Solomon
are in the school from Chatham county.
THE BUILDING TURNED OVER.
The school building was formally turned
over to the trustees of the University of
Georgia tonight at DeGive's opera house.
The opera house was we'll filled, and the ex-
ercises were quite interesting. n E. Harris,
on the part of the chronological commits
sioners, turned over the school to the uni
yersity trustees in an appropriate speech
which was responded to by j. J. Gresham,
president of the university trustees. Short
addresses were made by Gov. Gordon, H.

CHICAGo's STREET CAR WAR.

O'Clock This Morning.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-One-third of Chicago
will be without street car facilities to-mor-
row morning, and within twenty-four hours
| another third of the city will be in the same
predcament. President Yerkes of the
North Chicago Company tonight, after a
weeks temporizing, finally refused to grant
the demands of his employees, and afterward
declined peremptorily 20 accept an invita-
ton from the men TO arbitrate.
number, will, therefore, according to their
publicly announced programme, strike at
O'Clock tomorrow morning. Interviews
with representatives of the employees of the
company on the west side show that they
will strike probably before the ensuing mid
night in order, if possible, to cripple the
entire Yerkes system and bring him
quickly to time
GRIEVANCE OF THE NORTH SIDERs.
The grievance of the north side men, as
stated by them, is that they are, for no ap-
parent reason, paid considerably less than
the west-siders, and besides have hours of
duty so split up that the amount of sleep
required by the average human being can
not be had without interruption.
The first installment of men, to fill the
place of the strikers, arrived at the Union
depot from Philadelphia tonight There
were twenty-five in the party that stepped
from the train, and they brought word that
l25 more were to arrive in the morning.
They had been in the employ of the Yerkes
syndicate on it's lines in Philadelphia.
NOT KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Unlike the Chicago men, few of them, if
any, are Knights OF Labor. They work in
Philadelphia on the system for which sub
stantlally the Chicago men are striking,
but it is not generally believed that this will
cut any material figure with the newcomers.
Great preparations have been made by the
strikers to provide omnibuses, express
wagons and other conveyances for the pub
lie, and the sights on the streets in the
morning when something like 1000 peo-
pie patronize these vehicles and the side
walks, are expected to be of the most
picturesque order.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Oct. 5.-The primary
election here to-day caused more excite.
ment than any general election that has
been held since 1879 The anti-ringsters
had opposition tickets only in the First,
Second and Fourth wards. In the two first
named wards the opposition amounted to
nothing. The principal fight was made in
the Fourth ward, and seemed to be directed
chiefly against Capt. F. w. Dawson Of the
NeWS and Courier. The rival tickets were
headed respectively by F. w. Dawson of
the NeWs and Courier. and F. S. Rogers,
the capitalist of the Charleston World.
The Rodgers ticket was backed by the Sun,

POLK COUNTY POLITICS.
Every Vote to be Polled If Hard Work
Will Accomplish 1t.

AUBURNDALE, FLA, Oct. 5.-The con-
tinued rigid quarantine regulations have no
effect on Polk county politics. The regis
tration books just closed show deep inter
est in the approaching presidential and gu
bernatorial elections. The county is almost
solidly democratic, and since there is a
scrub race" for the county offices, every
voter will be brought out on election day,
making heavy vote for Cleveland and
Fleming to patch scanty returns in one or
two infected districts in the north end of
he state.
The weather is delightful and our town
was never more healthful than now An
immense crop Of oranges is now beginning to
ripen and the fruit farmer begins to fret at
the stringency of the quarantine rates, but
mild winters here will allow us plenty of
time to market the crop.
