Farmers are in good cheer at the pros

Cars Isunning In Chicago Manned by
Policeman.
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-As was promised
last Saturday cars were started this morn
ing over the North Side lines at 1880
o'clock. Six open cars, drawn by horses
and manned by about dozen policemen,
each left the city limits car barns dcs-
tined for the business centre. The cars,
which were run in bunch preceded by
u patrol wagon load OF policemen, were
not moIestcd by the 200 or 800 strikers,
and on-lookers gathered around the
barns. The down trip was made sue
ccssfulty without any mishaps to speak
OF, although the cars were somewhat
hampered by the crowd OF vehicles which
took up the tracks. At $3.50 o'clock
Washington street, the South Side ter.
minus OF the horse car line, was reached
and the cars started on their return trip.
Cars were also started from several OF
the other North Side lines, but none OF
them we're patronizedby the public to
any great extent.
Mr.. Yerkes this evening had m inter.
view with the Mayor. He agreed to
meet committee Of strikers, all o.
whom he insisted must be practical car
men. He further agreed TO dispense
with tile services OF the special police
men. The Mayor told him that the
regular police were abundantly able to
look after the strike. When they were
no longer able to do SO it would be time
to call in outsiders.

An American Girl Included in the suItan's
Latest Clearance of Surplus Wives.
New YoRK, Oct. S.-Tho World says:
1t has just crept out through friends in
Milan, where she was known as isabella
prima DONNA" that Laura schirmer, a
Boston girl, and not many years ago a
rising and popular singer on the Ameri-
can opera stage, has been poisoned, with
thirteen other inmates OF the harem OF
the Sultan of Turkey; in Constantine
pie, OF course, where eiorcenturies the saCl;
orthe bowstring has been the prerOgatives
OF the Sultan, and no one has ever been
the wiser. 1t was in 1884, while
in an opera company singing in Con-
stantinople, that she became the Sultan's
favorite, and entered upon the career
which has ended in death. The friends
OF the unhappy cantatrice in Milan
claim to have undoubted evidence OF the
frightful crime, and a leading Milanese
paper has boldly stated it as fact. Ac-
cording to the story, one night poison
was placed in the ice cream furnished to
the occupants OF the Imperial seraglio,
and fourteen poor women, including the
American girl, were found dead in the
morning. OF course there was no in
quest, no coroner's inquest, no verdict.
The bodies Of the victims were hurried
away to nameless graves, and the cur
] tain dropped.

Special Correspondence Of The Lnieuigeaeer.
RrTcHIE G. H., Oct. 7.-The exposure
in the INTELLIGENCER last week of the
Independent colored movement excited
much comment here, and was general
theme OF conversation for several days.
The Democrats felt blue over it, and as
one prominent one remarked, "When l
was chairman OF the Democratic com
mittee you didn't find me doing any
such d-d indiscreet thing"-referring
TO Mr.. Creed Collins interesting etfu-
sions. The cause OF the "large expense"
he refers to in the latter Of his letters is
exciting inquiry and comment. What
can it be in this county where they
never make an open campaign?
General GofT's coming into this coun-
ty is anxiously looked for. Every day
inquiries come in about him from the
back parts OF the county,and such is the
desire TO see and hear him that hundreds
OF people will flock here from miles
awGyxsome even from Calhoun and
Gilmer counties-to greet the man who
will be our next Governor.
Set Richie down as enthusiastic for
GoT and solid against Free Trade.
