Panama Ca nal schemes.

PARIS, December 13.-At meeting Of
the Cabinet two schemes in connection
with the Panama canal we're discussed.
One was to defer the payment of interest
on bonds until the canal was in working
order, put the present company in litiga-
tion and form a new company. Those
who are shareholders shall have priority.
Another scheme also proposed to defer
the payment of interest until the COM
pletion of the canal the present company
to be allowed to continue and be author
lied to grant q new company, at fixed
price, concessions necessary to complete
the canal. De Lesseps favors the latter
AS the Columbian Government only
treated with the present company it is
uncertain whether it would agree to the
substitution OF new company.
The Panama Canal Company has is
sued note to the press stating that the
result of the issue is unknown, but giving
no indication whether the minimum
number of bonds required has been sub.
scribed.

south American Notes.

PANAMA, December 13.-In Peru, the
Donough- More contract is slowly pro-
crossing through it's various stages. The
Committee on Foreign Affairs had re-
fused to alter the protocol signed by the
bondholders, Commissioners and Minis
ter of Finance, when new objection was
raised by Chill on the ground that this
involved offense to the dignity of Peru.
1t is positively known in Lima that the
British Legation there has received
cables from the foreign office
at London, stating that any irrevelant
objection on the part of Chill in matter
which does not now concern her, will not
be tolerated. With this assurance the
prospects of the approval of the contract
are strengthened, for the hope of being
backed up against the pretentions OF
Chill would be almost sufficient to obtain
necessary votes.
On the municipal elections now in
progress depends to great extent the
issue on the Presidential campaign. At
the capital the existing government has
not lost ground. According to the latest
advices the revolution in Bolivia has
been suppressed.
An extra Congress at Lima has been
convoked for January 1st to consider the
external public debt, also modification
which will be proposed by Minister Ha-
cienda respecting the internal debt.

A woULp-BE MURDERER.
Dan Gadsden Shoots His Wife Because
She Would Not Live With Him.

Dan Gadsden Shoots His Wife Because
She Would Not Live With Him.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
quiet at the Telfair hospital was disturbed
by three sharp cracks of pistol, followed
by the cries of a woman. Mrs. Mary E.
Dunwoody. matron of the hospital, who
was engaged in the reception room, ran to
the staircase leading TO the basement and
met Mary Gadsden, her colored COOK, run
ming up the steps. As she reached the top
of the staircase she fell. Standing at the
foot of the stairs was Dan Gadsden, the
husband of the woman with a smoking
revolver in his hand He gazs1 intently at
the wounded woman, and 1t is Mrs Dun
woOdy's belief that he " Ould have attacked
her again, had no one interfered
Mrs Dunwody ran down the steps and
ordered the man TO give up the pistol. In
stead of doing so he turned a ound and
walked out Of the room into the street.
Mrs. Dunwody followed him, and calling to
the neighbors and police, told them to catca
the man. that he was murderer. Gadsden,
seeing that he would be pursued, ran down
New Houston street, turned into Whitaker
street and ran to Third street, where ne
was caught by Mounted Officer Dwyer and
carried to the ba racks.
Dr. r. b. Harris was summoned imme-
diately after the shooting took place, and
after an examination found that only one
shot had taken effect. The ball entered the
womans left thigh and ranged upward,
forcing its wav out at the left groin. DR..
Harris said that the wound is dangerous,
but not necessarily a fatal one, unless inter
nal hemorrhage sets in, and he hardly
thought that probable.
For several months Gadsden and his wife,
Mary, have been separated, Gadsden living
in Jacksonville, and his wife in Savannah.
Monday he came here TO see her and tried
TO persuade her TO 20 back with him. She
refused saying that Gadsden threatened
her life and she would not live with him.
He went to see her again yesterday and
after trying in vain TO coax her off, pre-
cipitated quarrel and difficulty, and when
she resented his attacks, he drew a revolver
and began firing on her.
Gadsden was seen by MORNING NEWS
reporter in his cell at the barracks last
night He said that the woman had driven
him to the steps he had taken by her in
fidelity. She had left him, he said and
gone to the house Of one Of his enemies and
had carried her trunk there. When she re-
fused to accompany him back to his house,
or even talk to him about the matter. he
lost all control over himself and he was not
responsible for what he did when he fired
on her. Gadsden is a shoemaker, and is a
rather Intelligent looking man.

The Best Time to Buy valuables.

This is the dull season Of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn'G go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months We have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits, new tricks aud quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock Is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we 10iH sell very
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornnent we offer line par excellence Ct
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nolc They
will keep, and you will save money.

launch for the quarantine service yesterday

peller screw, and is not unlike an ordinary
lifeboat Il is built of hard wood, and the
hull is copper lined. The intention was TO
launch 1t yesterday at I 80 o'clock, and run
it down to the Planters rice mill landing.
Whether it was the superstition of the
sailors chat it is bad luck to launch a boat
on Friday which led TO the postponement is
not known, but any rate IL was not
launched, but will be at o'clock this morn
ing The boat is not named. II has a
naptha engine in the stern, and it is claimed

A VIGOROUS TU5sLE.
Detective Wetherhorn Fares Roughly
in Arresting the Flint Robber.

in Arresttng the Flint Robber.
If William Hull is not the fellow who
robbed A. F. Flint Of s35, he took poor
way of showing it yesterday. 1t will be
remembered that two negroes visited Flint's
jewelry store in the Ludden & Bates
southern music house one day this week,
and while one was pricing rings the other
walked up and down the counter, and when
he passed out, it was discovered that $35,
laid upon the counter to be taken to the
bank TO pay a draft, was missing. The
negro who priced the ring was Willie
Williams. He visited Flint's store again
yesterday morning and bought a ring, and
was confronted with the charge of com
plicity in the robbery, which he vigorously
denied, and volunteer ID TO point out the
negro who came into the store with him on
the day Of the robbery.
Yesterday morning he pointed out Hull
TO Officers Wetherhorn and Nathans. De
tective Wetherhorn Immediately accosted
Hull and with Officer .Nathans, of Justice
Sheftalls court, took Him into Flints store
for Identification. Flint at once recognized
Huh as his suspicious visitor, and Hull
made an attempt to escape. Nathans col
Jared him, and Hulps coat gave way. He
attempted to strike Wetherhorn and
Nsthans struck at the negro, who lodged,
and Wetherhorn caught the lick on the
jaw. Wetherhorn then countered on Hull,
and struck so hard that he dislocated some
of the smaller bones of his hand, and as the
negro got uglier, Nathans and Wetherhorn
both got telling ticks in on the negro, who,
finding he was getting the worst of it,
yielded. A warrant was issued from JUS
tice Russell's court and Hull was landed in
Jail
Hull is a well-known thief. and has but
recently ended ten months sentence on
the chain-gang for theft. The only thing
found on Hull's person was $40 Confed-

NO ADVANCE ON MELON RATES
Gen. Sorrel Says That They Are the
Same as Last Year.

Same as Last Year.
The New York papers having charged
that there is an ''unholy alliance" between
the Ocean steamship company and the
Pennsylvania railroad company detrimen-
tai to the interests of the melon growers,
General Manager Sorrel, of the Ocean
steamship company, informed a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday that the statement
is untrue. He said that as matter of
fact the Ocean steamship company
is competitor of the Atlantic
coast line. which is controlled by the
Pennsylvania railroad system, and that
there has been no advance made over last
year in carrying melons. The rates last
year were $50 car for melons, on the basis
of 10000 pounds to a car, and if that
weight was exceeded, proportionate charges
were made. This was the rule last year
and If any melons have gone through for q
less rate it was an oversight. The melon
shipments on the Ocean steamship line came
bv the Savannah, Florida and Western,
and their weights are accepted If any
cars went through at $9S, when more
than &c, 900 pounds were the contents of the
car, the company had received less than it
should have been paid. Gen. Sorrel says
that it is untrue that it cost S133 car, for a
carload of melons in New York. Railroads
have TO limit the amount of freight to the
car, for the better preservation of the car
and to avoid accident. Melons being per
ishable goods have the preference Of other
freight, and the rates this year are no
higher than last year, or any previous year.
