POISON ED HER FATHER.
A SENSATIONAL STORY COMES FROM
JEFFERSON, GA.

Beautiful Young Girl Resents q Pater-
nal ThrashIng-IIer Father Objected to
Her Favorite Suitor-She rearfully Con-
fesses.
ATHENS, GA, May 23.-Jim Jarrett,
who lives in Jackson county about
fourteen miles from Athens, and near
Jefferson, is q prosperous and contented
farmer who has lovely daughter,
Fannier, much admired by all the young
men of the neighborhood.
Among her admirers is a young far
mer, Bob McRae, who had been par
ticularly attentive to her, and who is
very obnoxious to her father. The
daughter, however, was fond of Bob,
and was determined to see him when
ever the opportunity offered, no matter
how much opposed her father might be
to their meeting.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Jarrett told his
daughter that she must stop seeing the
fascinating Bob, and if she disobeyed
him he would whip her. This threat
did not, however, deter the daughter

met McRae and took long walk with
him. This angered her father beyond
endurance, and when she returned to
her home he gave her, as he had prom
lsed, Il severe whipping.
After the whipping had been admin.
istercd, the daughter went Off for a few
hours, but returned, seemingly as happy
as she had been. The next day MIR
Jarrett had soup for dinner, which was
made by his daughter. lie was taken
violently sick soon after eating, anG
when the physicians arrived, they saw
at once that he had been poisoned The
poison was discovered to be in the soup
and was rough on rats.
The daughter when she saw her father
apparently dying. broke down and con
ieSSed her crime amid tears and protes
tatlonS of future obedience. She hat
procured the poison and put it in tn,
soup intending t , kill her father becaus,
he had whipped her. Fortunately To-
the life of Mr.. Jarrett. too much pOsoI
was administered and he was not in
stantly killed and now in fact, he ma,

Every effort is being made to save hi
litc and these efforts may succeed.
The story is sickening in the extrem,

attractive she will in all probability b.

WHAT CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON
THINKS.
ATLANTA. Ga, May 2l.-Congress-
man Livingston reached Atlanta this
afternoon from Cincinnati. The North
west, says, is cutting loose from both
the old parties. This is largely due, 80
far as the Democrats are concerned, to
the letter of Mr.. Cleveland against free
silver and the effort now being made
South and East to force his nomination.
The free silver action of the kentuc-
KY convention has done the Democratic
cause some good.
No nominee of the Democratic par
ty, said he, need expect the support Of
Il single Western State unless he is
thoroughly committed to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and tariff
reform. They want Il Western man
for President, and are more than will
ing that Southern m an should get the
NlcePreSidency.
The action of the convention will
crystaliZe the third party movement In
the Northwest. The success of the
Lhlrd party movement rests just now
upon the diSatfection towards both the
Old parties. Opposition to free silver,
tariff reform and increased currency in
the next Congress will preclpitate a
successful third party movement.

was demolished, but the mule came out

Our little son will be four years Of age on

We called IN a physician, who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives In an aggregated form, became
larger i'll blotehes, and more and more dis

America is not only shutting out many
of our products by prohibitive tariffs,
but she also threatens our trade with
the South American republics. and even
with Africa and Asia. Your country is

''Of course she can. We can supply

do you think that Europe. and Ger

such policy? Do you know that mill

Yes; but we shall find easier chan

advances in manufacturing she will
need less and less of our goods. The

shall have to fight against your agrees
SiOnS'
will you exhibit at the Chicago
fair?''
Il do not know as yet. At present it
seems to me folly to exhibit in country
where people will not buy from u.s."
This conversation is significant of the
feeling of fear with which American
enterprise and the present American
policy are regarded in Germany. With
her commerce threatened in Central
and South America, il is only natural
that Germany should show some bitter
ness of feeling. But in sober reflection
German merchants and manufacturers
will hardly fail to realize that the best
policy is to keep on friendly terms with
America, rather than provoke even
more severe restrictive measures.
