TO HANG IN PRIVATE.
Judge Clark Rescinds His Order for a
Public Execution.

Judge Clark Rescinds His Order for a
Public Execution.
ATLANTA, GA, June 29.-George Wash
ington. the negro murderer condemned to
suffer death here on July 8 Is, after all, not
to have public hanging. In consequence
of this disappointment he is highly indig-
nant. He wished, it seems, 30 pose as
sort of gallows hero, and cut figure in the
eyes of his race. II this was his idea Judge
Richard Clark this morning dashed his hopes
by issuing this. perhaps, somewhat unusual
order: For good and sufficient reasons, in
my Judgment, 1t is ordered that the execu-
ton of George Washington, which was or
dered from a strong sense of duty to be
done publicly. be so changed as to be done
privately. at the county jail" When
this had been communicated to
George Washington he refused to be
comfortej. The authorities, he said, would
grant nothing that he asked. The negroes
here have complained that the black MUIR
derer should be condemned to hang pub
licly while the hanging of the white man
Ozburn was to be in private. This senti-
ment may have had something to do with
the change Of programme ordered by the
Judge.

MUSIC CHARMS A TURTLE.
An Illustration at Ormond in the Pres

An Illustration at Ormond in the Pres
ence of Many Guests.
ORMoND-BY-THE-OcEA June 29.-The
power of music to soothe and gain the con-
fdence of Ioggerhead turtle was seen from
the porch of the hotel Coquina-on-the-
Ocean at Ormond the other evening. The
ladies were gathered together for the pur-
pose of controlling for an hour the restless
ness Of the men, who were preparing for a
nights stroll on the beach In search of a
turtle, and also to escape what appeared to
them the opportunity of homeIike even
ing at prayer"
The ladies sung in good voice "Sweet By
and By" Hotel-keeper Vining also tried to
hold the boys by singing the 'Bow-legged
Baby" but to no purpose, and as the party
was about to move out on the hunt the
ladies surrounded and encouraged theiparty
with .'What win the Harvest Be" Their
sweet music was still lingering amid the
roaring of the surf when cry of whats
that ~ broke the charm.
TURTLE COMING TO LAY.
'It's a turtle coming to lay" answered
dozen voices, and twice as many pairs of
bright eyes were fixed upon the black OBJ
ject, which was '.sure enough a turtle"
making its way slowly up the beach until
close by the stairs leading to the Coquina
hotel. Then that process so interesting to
the turtle hen and the hotel keeper. was
begun by the loggerhsad turtle, creature
Of immense size. The turtle. in the most
unconcerned manner. proceeded to make its
''wallow." Having finished that it dug its
nest This latter was accomplished with
the hind legs, or fiippers.
The nest. when completed, Is 90 inches
deep and IL inches in diameter at the bot
tom and inches at the top. When the
nest was ready for business the guests
gathered about the turtle, and as each Of the
eggs dropped into the nest Hotel Keeper
Vining appropriated it for turtle-egg muf-
fins. The lay amounted to IT'S eggs and

Her turtleship was not disturbed In the
least by the familiar curiosity of the guests,
and with an air of having done her duty,

wendell her way back to the sea. Time two
hours and ten minutes. This is one of the
rare cases of turtle making her nest in full

ulants as Were Needed.
ATLANTA, Ga, June 29.-The investiga-
ton of the charges made by the grand jury
agains. County Physician Eli Griffin re-
suited 10 his exoneration. The doctor
stated, and brought forward corroborative
evidence going to show, that the excessive
quantities of whisky and morphine
allowed Murderer Ozburn had been
curtailed since he took charge of
the prisoners treatment. He claimed to
have administered stimulants only when
the PATIENTS condition absolutely demanded
it, and several physicians, when called to
the stand. Endorsed DR.. Griffin's view that
stimulants in small quantities were absolute
ly necessary. Instead of quart of whisky a
day. DIR. Griffin claimed not to have pre-
scribed more than half pint.

RIFLEMEN Kick.
They Accuse Passenger Agent of
MISREPRESENTATION.

Misrepresentation.
BRUNSWICK, GA, June 29-Clifton
Jones. general passenger agent of the Mid
land and Gulf and Columbus Southern rail-
roads, had some serious charges preferred
against him by the Brunswick Rifiemen for
delaying them on their return from Chick
amauga. The Rifiemen claimed when they
returned that they were kept on the road
twenty-four hours longer than was
necessary by what they term
the Misrepresentation of Passenger
Agent Jones. They said : that
Mr.. Jones had promised to put them TO
Brunswick on a special without delay, and
that they chose the route home over this
road upon the faith of this promise. They
were compelled to stay over in Griffin four
teen hours and seven in Columbus. They
were exasperated at what they decried as
the bad faith OF Mr.. Jones, and con-
sequently were not very mild in the ex-
preston or their displeasure. The Bruins
wick Times published an article based
upon the expressions of the Rif1emen, In
which it was charged that Mr.. Jones had
made deliberate misrepresentation.
JONES DENIES IT.
The next day after the appearance of
this article Mr.. Jones telegraphed an
emphatic denial of the charges
to the Times, saying that
he was in total ignorance of the fact at the
time the Riflemen were on their way home
that they had left Chickamauga. Capt.
Wilcoxon left the Rifemen on
their return trip A' at his
old home In Newman. and nothing has
been heard from him on the subject. 1t is
thought, perhaps, that Capt. Wilcoxon and
Lieut.. Col Wright of Albany will be able
to explain the matter satisfactorily. In
to-morrow's Times will appear In full the
documentary evidence in thescase, explain
ing the action of Mr.. Jones throughout. and
giving the entire correspondence be-
tween that gentleman and the parties in
terested at 'Chickamauga. The kilograms
show that all the communications which
passed between Mr.. Jones and the officers
at Chickarnauga were sent or received by
Mr.. Jones at Columbus and show further
more that no promise Of special was
made. but on the contrary that the ciroum-
stances were plainly represented as the
Ri1emen after wsrdifound them.

bachelors In Corea.

Marriage is one of the ostimportant
institutions of Corea, and it Is more i'm
portant to tho man than to the woman.
A boy is of no account until he Is mar.
ried. and his wedding marks his en-
trance upon social, business or political
life. The bachelor in Corea is worse OF
than he was under Lycurgus, the Greciam
ruler, where he had to pay fine for re-
naming a bachelor, and had to march
around naked in the professions OF BACH
elors during the bitter cold days OF win
ter and sing song composed for him
self, while the pretty married girls and
unmarried girls looked on and laughed.
The bachelor in Corea has no political
rights. If he lives to be q hundred,
and Is not married, he is nothing but a.
boy, and afifteen-year-old husband may
sheer at his gray beard over the fuzzy
down of his youthful chin He dare
not put up his hair until he is married,
and bachelor of sixty has to part his.
hair in the middle and let it hang in a.
long braid down his back like little
boy OF three. This combfngof the hair
makes the boys look like girls. and tho
first travellers to Corea took them for
girls and described them as such.-F. e.
