Exceptions Taken to the Remarks of
Ordinary Calhoun.
ATLANTA, Ca, June 27.-Bearing In
mind the adsge that drowning men clutch
at straws, Ozburn's attorneys, as mentioned
in a dispatch sent at 2:30 o'clock in the
morning on the night of the trial to the
NEWS, have taken exception to the re-
marks OF Ordinary Calhoun to the Jury
and insist that they will try the virtue Of a
certiorari. The Span case In the Fourth
Georgia Reports seems to govern the ques-
tion and show that certiorari will not lie.
However, Ozpurn's attorneys may be relied
upon to leave no stone unturned to prolong
his life, and IL new trial cannot be had 1t
will not be their fault.

The prisoner is reported to be much worse
to-day, and Deputy Sheriff Barnes conf

respite. The grand jury called on the gov

Ozburn, Washington or County Physician
Griffip furnished the subject matter of the
interview. The governor declines to furnish
any information. delegation of negroes
also called 10 the interest of Washington,
for whom they asked a respite on the
ground that a Fourth Of July cele-
bration had been prepared which they
did not wish to be interfered with by a
hanging. The executiveed suggest that the
joliification could better be postponed than
the execution of the sentence Of the court,
and, as the committee report, encouraged
them little in their demand, stating that NO
good reason had yet been saown why a res.
pite should be granted. &ejat

JUMPED INTO A WELL.

Suicide at Atlanta of Woman Who
Was Sick, Crippled and Insane.
ATLANTA, Ca, June 27.--Mary A.
Keltner, wife Of M. Fl. Keltner. white
shoemaker, was found dead In well 10 the
yard adjoining her husbands residence this
morning. She was go years Of age and was
some time ago crippled and made an
invalid by suffering q fall and fracture Of
her hip. Within the past week her health
has been particularly bad and yesterday
she seemed to be out Of her mind and re-
auired watching. About o'clock this
morning her husband was feeling badly and
went into the garden for short while. On
his return he missed his wife, and striking
light raised the alarm. He did not know
whether she had left him while he slept or
stolen out In his absence. The neighbors
quickly gathered.
FOUND IN THE WELL.
The body Of the unfortunate woman was
found In the we'll. This was some distance
from the house, and as Mrs. KeItner has
not walked an inch without assistance for q
year, and as her crutohes were found by her
bedside, 10 Is not understood how she man
aged 70 make her way to the we'll. Some
suspicion Of foul play was entertained on
that account BY the ooroner's jury. but
the dead woman seems to have
had no enemies. Mrs. Keltner was the
fourth wife OF her husband, and she es-
poused him on the occasion Of her second
matrimonial venture. Before she married
the first time she was q patient In the
lunatic asylum. 1t Is supposed that i'll
health brought about return OF her former
insanity. The verdict OF the coroner's jury
was substantially to that effect.

An Application for stay of xecution

DUBLIN. June 27.-The court of appeals
to-day refused the application for stay Of
execution in the suit recently decided in
favor of Mr.. Campbell, Mr.. Parnelrs pri-
vate secretary, against the proprietors Of
the Cork Daily Herald. The proprietors
OF the Herald asked for a stay of execution
in view OF the fact that new trial was
necessary on the ground that Mr.. Parnell's
letter stating that Mrs. O'Shea had au-
thority to use Mr.. CampbelPs signature
placed the matter In an entirely different
light.
AN ATTACK ON PARNRLL4
The National Press to-day, referring to
MIR. Parnelrs approaching visit to Carlow,

his crime. Carlow will make il plain that
the hero OF the squalid scene at Steyning
is impossible, so far as decent Irishmen are
concerned. Parnell only added crime by

THAT STAR CHAMBER.

Any thirty-three citizens or any three
citizens, for that matter, had a perfect
right to petition or request number OF
other citizens to allow their N ,mes to be
used as candidates for office in the COM
ing city election, The action of three
men would, of course, be in no way
binding on anybody. A request to
allow ones name to be used as a candi-
date is not a nomination and SO far as
we know the meeting of the thirty three,
never by any public act said it was such.
By what authority does the editor OF
the Ttmes-MOuntaineer call the meeting
OF the "33' private primary and
talk about ''star chamber meeting .?
The same party who signed the petition
have secured the circuit court room OF
the county court house for public pri-
mary tonight, and will submit the names
they have chosen for approval or rejec-
ton. A ''star chamber composed OF

composed of the mayor and his stool

A CORRECTION.

When Mr.. Michell says that the Rev.
j. A. Orchard and G. F. Hobart are not
residents of this city he, on the one
hand, comes as near the truth as is GUS
tomary with him and on the other is
contemplate disingenuous Mr.. Or
chard has had his home exclusively in
this city for more than two years and is
larger taxpayer than the ''enterpris-
ing citizen who returns $4,000 worth OF
property and offsets it with So 200 worth
of debts. Besides Mr.. Orchard is not
the pastor of the Eight Mile church OF
of any church. He is simply an evangel-
ist, with The Dalles as the head quarters
for himself and family. Mr.. Michel
has discovered that one C. F. Hobart
lives at Starbuck, Wash. 1t is quite
likely that he does, but the Mr.. Hobart
whose name was on the original petition
was, as Mr.. Michel doubtless well
knows, G. G.. Hobart of this city, and
. the mistake in the middle letter was
made by the copyist.
