A CAIvALROUs SCRIBE.
Frank Weldon Champions the Cause
of Helpless Woman.

FRANK weldon Champions the Cause
of helpless Woman.
ATLANTA, GA, June 1l.-Au excsediugly
sensational story was suppressed in the
afternoon papers here to-day after 1t had
been put in type. About a week ago Miss
Bertha Pierson OF Detroit, Mich, arrived in
Atlanta to accept a position as steuogrhpher
with j. Il. Tolleson, president of new
bank which has recently opened up In the
Kmball house. Tolleson Is the cashier Of
the famous Mercantile Bank which failed
several years ago and who spent year in
jail for contempt OF court because he re-
fused to disgorge. The young lady had been
recommended highly to Tollesou, and
her appearance aud behavior were
in keeping with her recommendation. i.
Miss Pierson secured board in q nice fam
lily. in which Frank Weldon, the WE'LL
known newspaper man formerly of Savan-
nah, where he was well known, but now a
member Of the Constitution staff, was q
boarder.
Several days ago the lady Of the house
told Mr.. Weldon that Miss Pierson was be-
ing daily insulted by Tolleson; that she had
no friends here and was compelled TO en-
dure the bankers indecent behavior be-
cause she did not have money enough to get
back home. Miss Pierson had told the story
of her treatment to the lady with tears in
her eyes.
WELDON TAKES THK MATTER UP.
Without hesitation or question, Mr.. VOL
don, in company with Remsen Craw~
ford, called at Tolleson's bank. The three
went into private room. when Mr.. We'll
don Indignantly notified MIR. Tolleson that
unless he Immediately ceased his indecent
persecution Of his stenographer. taking
advantage OF her friendless aud dependent
condition. he would handle him In such a
manner as he deserved. Hot words ensued
and Tolleson drew pistol on the two news
paper men. The attention of the young
lady, who was in an adjoining office,
was attracted. She ran in, and
recognizing Mr.. Weldon. and in
an instant realizing the situation,
grasped the pistol out OF the bankers hand.
She then accused him openly of his per-
fidy, but breaking down ensreated the
newspaper men who had taken IL upon
themselves to defend helpless woman's
honor, to let the matter drop for fear of
more serious results. Miss Pierson was, of
course, discharged by Banker Tolleson, who
succeeded in keeping the affair out OF print
to-day. The case Is rendered even
more sensational from the fact
that precisely similar occurrence
took place between Tolleson and another
young lady whom he had brought here
from the east about year ago This case
got into court and much feeling was engen-
dered against him on account OF II. The
case of Miss Pierson has not yet become
generally known. There is no telling what
effect it may have on the notorious banker
when 1t becomes public property.

FL0RIDA'S THIRD PARTY.
a STATE TICKET LIKELY TO BH
PUT IN TIE FIELD.

The Alliance Element Disgruntled
Because the Platform Adopted is
Not More Like the Ocala and st.
Louis Demsnds-A state Convention
to be Held on July IA.
JACKSONVILLE. FLA, June lit is very
likely that there will be state ALLIANCES
ticket in the Florida field OF politics. A call
is TO be published tomorrow signed by A.
2. Boskin, chairman, and A. w. Weeks,
secretary, calling a state convention. to be
held in Jacksonville on July IA. The pre-
amble TO the call presents a long list of
grievances of the farming element against
the action OF the state convention in refus-
ing to adopt the minority report OF the com-
mittee on platform. The minority report,
in Il nutshell, was the Ocala and St. Louis
demands. Il advocated free and unlimited
coinage OF silver, laws against alien land
lords and corporation land owning, the sub
treasury scheme and hard money.
IL says the platform adopted
by the democracy ia "a straddler.
conflicting and vague, hard money In one
clause greenbacks in another, wild cat
state banks in another, not expected TO be
majority 20 supportPresident Cleveland It
goes on andhemands repeal of the state laws
which it says we're passed under different
conditions than now exist and that these
laws are calculated Co menace the many to
the advantage Of the few. 1t further de-
mands protection Of cotton, oranges and
tobacco, and repeal OF the laws which take
local self-government from the hands OF
the people"
THE ALLIANCE DIsGRUNTLED.
The gist Of the whole thing is that the al
lance is disgruntled at the way 1t was done
up at Tampa. The call does not specifically
state that another ticket will be put In the
field, but that is what IL means. The al@
lance delegates left Tampa feeling very
sore over what they characterized as a COM
that IL the platform had been adopted be-
fore the nominations were made that Mr..
Mitchell would not have been nominated; (;
In fact. that the alliance would have crys=
tallized its opposition against him.
The day after the con ventton a number OF
alliance leaders met, aud those in attend
ance were quite heated In opposition to the
present platform aud emphaticallY critical
of the conventions action in refusing to
adopt the minority report. Even before
the first day OF the convention the atmos-
phere at Tampa was filed with rumors OF
q Mitchell-alliance combination, whereby
Mr.. Mitchelps supporters would get Mr..
Mi chell. and the alliance would get some-
thing very much akin to the Ocala demands.
The non-fulhllment OF the latter part Of the
contract is what Is causing the disaffection.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Three members OF
the whisky trust who reside In this district,
President Greenhut of Peoria, Secretary
Peter j. Hennessy and Director Nelson
Morris of this city, against whom first in-
dictDents were quashed by Judge Nelson Of
Boston, will be asked to give bail on the
second indictment returned by the Boston
grand jury. Each Of them will decline to
give bond for his appearance In Boston.
The only alternative the United States COM
missioner will have will be to order the
three locked up. As soon as this
is done writs Of habeas corpus will be sued
out in the United States courts for the res
lease Of the indicted men on the ground
that they have committed no crime for
which they can be taken TO Boston to stand
trial 1t will also be argued that under the
United States laws they must be tried in
the district in which they lived at the time
the alleged offense was committed. The
object OF this move will be to force hear

GEoRGIA's MELONS.
The South Georgia Crop Now Going

The South Georgia Crop Now Going
Forward Freely.
PELHAM. GA, June 11.-South Georgia
melon shipments are now moving freely.
but the stock is inferior. being much smaller
in size on account OF the severe drought
which has preveied for nearly ten weeks.
The average up to date is only eighteen to
nineteen pounds. while in past seasons ID
has run from twenty-three to twenty-five
pounds. Another calamity which has
overtaken the melon crop is blight. A
large grower has lost fully 25 per cent. OF
his crop from this cause alone, and some
melon fields are now planted in corn and
cotton.
1t is::sssafe to say that Georgia shipments
this year will not exceed one-half OF last
years crop. A large proportion Of the
shipments thus far have been eagerly taken
by buyers as soon as loaded at prices rang
ing from $3.50 to 5000 per carload Of "a 900
pounds. Pelham. which is the largest ship
ping point in the melon belt, is now loading
about fifteen cars per day. The receipts
next week are expected to run about thirty
carloads per day, and then we may expect
better fruit and somewhat lower prices.

Bland RuLED OFT.
He Failed to Get His Free Silver Coinage
Amendment BEFORE the House,.

WASHINGTON. May 19.--In the House,
to-day. the chair delivered his decision on
the point of order made against the
amendment offered by Mr., Bland (Mo.)
yesterday for the coinage of all silver bull
lion purchased and now in the treasury
into standard silver dollars, the cost OF
coinage to be paid out of the seignorage or
gain to the government, the remainder Of
the seignorage to be covered into the
treasury.
1t was conceded, said the chair, that the
amendment changed existing law, and,
therefore, it would not be in order, unless
being germane it reduced the amount COW
cred by the bill. He sustained the point
of order and ruled out the amendment.
Mr.. Bland then re-offefed his amend
ment with the proviso attached to it that
the cost of this coinage shall not exceed
$95, 000-S5. 600 of which shall be for the
coinage of subsidiary silver and $4,000
for standard silver dollars"
Mr.. Bland said that he attached the pro.
yiso to the amendment in order to remove
the objection of the chair that it did not
reduce the amounts covered by the bill
After considerable debate the chair said
he had heard nothing to change his opin-
ion that the amendment was not germanc,
and he, therefore, ruled the amendment,
as modified, ont of order.
Mr.. Bland appealed from the decision,
but the committee sustained the chair by d
vote of 100 to rs.

LIKE A LoVE FEAST.
That's What New York Democrats Think
of MIR. Gardens Dinner.

The N. Y. Morning advertiser yesterday
week said: Ex-Secrctary of State Thomas Il.
Bayard arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last evening, and Is minutes later the
name of Grover Cleveland, written by
himself, was inscribed on the register of
the Victoria Hotel. The presence of these
two statesmen, almost at the same time,
and the arrival of Ex-Governor Campbell
of Ohio, earlier in the day, caused much
speculation among local politicians.
The dispatch from Delaware saying that
ex-Secretary Bayard had been unani-
mously elected as one OF the delegates to
the Chicago convention, coupled with the
fact that Mr.. Cleveland and his former
Secretary of State had both accepted invi-
tations to dine at the Manhattan Club with
Hugh r. Garden, was enough to cause a
good deal of talk.
1t was said by Democrats uptown that
there would be plenty of pipe-laying at
this dinner. and that the Cleveland boom
would undoubtedly be given pat on the
back and heralded to the country with the
ex-President's own official endorsement.
Although the dinner was in honor of
the advisory board of the bondhoders of
Virginia, of which Mr.. Cleveland is o
member, ii was, nevertheless, argued that
it would afford a good chance to talk poll
tics over. Among the others present at the
dinner were Edward ]. Phelps, George s.
Coe, president of the American Exchange
National Bank, and George q. Williams.
