UNDERWOOD CONVICTED.
He Will have to Hang Unless HI
Secures a New Trial.

He Will Fave to Hang Unless He
Secures a New Trial.
ATLANTA, GA, May Elisha Under
wood, the railroad fireman who killed a
brother fireman, Alex. II. Sayre, in this
city few weeks ago, was to-day found
guilty Of murder and will hang unless be
can get the new trial for which he asks.
Underwood boarded with Ssyre's family.
and they had long been fast
friends, but one morning they
came in under the influence
of liquor and began quarreling in the house
Sayre went into the dining room and sat
down to breakfast. While he ate Under
wood appeared at the door, in which
Sayres brotber-in-law was standing, and
shot his former friend over his brother-in-
laws shoulder. Savre's wound was mortal,
but as be turned aud fed he received a sec
ond bullet in the back.
WHISKY THE CAUSE.
Whisky appears to have been the sole
cause of the trouble, though Underwood
claimed that he attempted TO protect the
brother-iu-law from Sayre, that Sayre
thereupon turned upon him with a knife
and that he was thus forced 70 shoot him
down. TIE trial, which lasted several
days, has attracted a great deal of attention
locally, the court room being packed
with spectators almost all the
time. This is the third murderer
convicted here within the past
six months who failed to obtain a recon-
mendation to mercy, prior to that period
for about fifteen years. No criminal found
guilty Of a capital offense in Fulton county
has had reason to expect a sentence more
severe than lifetime Imprisonment.

cumbrance and when the farmers had to
dump it wherever they had waste
place. 1t is true that to some extent Its
value as a fertilizer was recognized, and
here and there it was used for that
purpose, but it counted nothing in
adding to the wealth of the south
or TO the prosperity Of the south

has been greater in size and quality than in
number. Many Of the oil mills that were
badly constructed ami fitted with an

PIrrsBURa MERCHANT FAILS
For n Large Amount-His Suspension
Causes Some Surprise.

PIrrsBURa, August 7.-Business and
financial circles were startled tonight
by the report that w. Z. Schmertz, the
most extensive shoe manufactures In
this section, and the head Of several
financial and mercantile institutions,
had failed. Upon investigation II was
found that he had confessed Judgments
aggregating s93s,O0O. The fret ludg.
ment was in favor Of VIM. LOeiiier. his
brother-ln-law, and was for 100000.
This was filed in the afternoon, but this
evening the following judgments were
entered: +. NJ. Quimby s5s,23s; W. q.
Taylor S30,4sO, and Amelia A. Schmertz
S54. $50. Qumby is also a brother-in-
law, and Amelia Schmertz Is his wife.
The cause OF the failure or the liabil-
lties could not be learned tonight, as
Mr.. Schmertz is seriously Ill at his
home, and could not be seen. The other
parties interested refused 10 give any
information. Mr.. Loefiier stated that
the judgment to him was issued
to cover Endorsements made by himself
and Il. c. Schmertz Il Co., and TO
protect him as surety on bond
given by w. e. Schmertz as guardian
of tho children OF II. G. Schmertz, de-
ceased. There was no connection he
said in business between X. G. SchmertE
& Co., the glass manufacturers, and w.
L. Schmertz. Mr. Schmertz was Presl-
dent of the Chamber OF Commerce and
member OF the national bankars exec
utive committee. His credit was
rated with Dun's Company a.
high, with from 100000 %
$500, 900 capital. Among outsiders bis
embarrassment was attributed % the
heavy decline in natural gas stocks and
the failure OF several shoe concerns Ia
the east and here. Those who ought
TO know say the failure will IN no wise
affect the Third National bank.

WIDENING TIE BREACH.
An Apology May BE Demanded for that
French Story.


LONDON, August IA Berlin dis
patch says that Count Won Munster, the
German Ambassador at Paris, has been
instructed to ascertain the origin of the
outrageous story published in French
newspaper, accusing Emperor William of
having killed q lieutenant in drunken
orgie on the Hohenzollern.
Although the German Imperial family
have been accustomed to ignore libels
in the French press, it is said that Chan
cellor Caprivi, urged by the ex-Empress
Frederick, considers this attack in q
prominent paper too serious to be ig-
nored, and it is possible that, If an
apology is not offered, the French Am
bassador at Berlin may be given his
passports, not with view to war, but
as an evidence of the indignation Of
Germany.
1t is understood that the Emperor
himself has not yet been made aware of
the statements of The French press, and
that when he is there may be a scene
in which the French Legation will
figure. 1t may be remembered that the
present Car of Russia, who usually
ignores what foreigners say about him,
was accused, some years ago, Of murder
ing one of his officers in fit of sense
less rage. The Car was deeply moved
when he heard the report, and caused it
to be circumstantially denied through
out the world 1t is believed that the
Emperor, who is much more sensitive to
public opinion, will have something to
say about the accusation against him.

A POOR INiITATOR
OF "Jack the Ripper"-Assault Made on n
Woman I'm Whitechapel.

VI Jack the hlppeE -AsSnuis 1Aeeo o- -
Woman I'm Whitechapel.
LONDON, August 7.-Much excite
ment was occasioned in the Whitechapel
district this morning when rumor was
rapidly passed from mouth to mouth
that the dreaded "Jack the Ripper" had
again appeared and committed one OF
the butcheries that has made his name
a household word in this most ill-favor-
ed portion of London.
The woman the man tried TO murder,
this time was alone. She was terribly
cut and bled profusely. She is 20 years
old.
The police are, as usual, hunting for
some clew that will lead to the indenti-
fcation OF the murderer, but, as In all
the other Whitechapel crimes, the as
sassin has disappeared, leaving no trace
save his mutilated victim.
The woman was taken TO the hospital,
and after she recovered sufficiently she
told of the attack made upon her. She
is German, and unlike the other wo-
men murdered and mutiated In White
chapel, she was not in the company OF
the man who attacked her, but was
passing along the street when without
warning the assassin sprang upon her.
She saw the glitter of the upraised
steel blade, but was unable 10 escape
from the grasp OF her assailant.
1t IS understood that the police found
a razor covered with blood near the
scene OF the crime. One man has been
arrested on suspicion OF being the as
sassin but the evidence against him Is
very Slight.

GERMANY'S EXPORTS
Fall on to Some Extent-The Working OF
the Mckinley Bill.

BERLIN, August 7.-Consul General
Edwards has just finished his statement
showing the value of the declared exports
from the Berlin Consul's jurisdiction to
the United States during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891. The total exports
from the Berlin Consular district during
the year ending June 30, 1891, amount
ed to $50, $50, POI, as compared with S66,-
056,9S7 of the proceeding year, thus
showing a decrease of nearly Sc, 500, 900.
In the Frankfort consular jurisdiction
plate glass, window and mirror glass
also fell from over million dollars In
1900 TO 5000, 900 in 1891. America i'm
ports from Southern Germany Sls5,OOO
worth OF hair, and over S500,00O worth
of hops. The latter article has increased
about 35 per cent. this year. Ironware,
steel and cutlery have fallen from ST.
$40. .54s.S 81 to S902, 365.02, decrease OF
nearly SO per cent. or wines, brandy,
beer and liquors America took during
the last half year, S725, 1898 worth.
From this mass of figures it is, how
ever, next to impossible to draw any
definite conclusions as TO the workings
and effects OF the Mckinley bill. In
anticipation of the passage OF the Nc
Kinley bill heavy shipments OF all kinds
of goods were rushed across the ocean.
the American market was overstocked
with goods and in consequence the first
years OF the bills existence will show a
decrease in exports from Germany to
the United States This prevents the
possibility Of judging the effects Of the
bill at this time.

YARDS FRESHNESS.
He Tries to Sell Property Claimed BY the
keystone Bank.


PHILADELPHIA, PA, August I'm
rather unexpected manner Il. Il. Yard,
who is under bail for trial on charge
of conspiracy with John Bardsley, was
heard from by r. P. Yardley, OF the
suspended Keystone National bank, this
morning. Shortly before noon, Mr..
Yardley learned that Yard intended to
to offer the keystone banks Sea Girt
property at public sale tomorrow. This
property formerly belonged to John
Lucas, former President of the bank,
and was assigned by his widow to the
bank, together with the bank building
to make up the now famous Lucas de-
ficit.
Yard claims that the bank afterwards
sold to him, but nobody but himself
seems to have any knowledge Of such
sol. sole ,o1e Mr.. Yardley made efforts to
ins $50 Sd. IL. He held hurried consulta-
tfon with his attorneys, one of whom
went to Trenton to make application
for an injunction restraining Yard from
making the sale. McGill, Of the John
Bardsley estate, took similar notice.
