Mr.. Sharp IS not married. Mr.. Walker,
though, is q widower, and is one OF the
principal characters in another big sensa-
tion which now, for the first time, appears
in print 1t occurred two or three weeks
ago, but is still topic of gossip in society.
By his accomplished manners, etc, Mr..
Walker won the affection Of Miss Julia
Lee, a prominent young lady OF society,
who lives In one Of Third streets hand.
some residences. They were engaged ana
the wedding was to have come on soon, so
every one thought. But at the last mo-
ment Mr.. Walker announced that ne was
only in fun, and breach Of promise suit
was expected every day and talked OF
freely, but was abandoned finally.
THE TWO WOMEN
who enjoyed the luxurious bath with the
two club men and bankers are inmates OF q
house Of bad character near Tenth and
Walnut streets, but their names have not
yet been learned.
Messrs. Sharp and Walker succeeded In
having their escapade suppressed in the
local papers, but the news rapidly spread
about the City Hall, and when the cases
were called in the City Court this
morning there was throng OF
men ready to hear every word OF
the sensational story which they
expected the arresting officers to make.
But the bankers did not appear. The
Judge at once declared their bonds for
feited, and issued two bench warrants for
their appearance in Court. These were
placed in the hands Of officers. but were
not served to-day. 1t is said that an at
tempt is being made TO patch up the mat
ter, and have il thrown out OF Court.
Both Sharp and Walker worked like bea-
vers in their efforts to prevent the publi-
cation of the affair. One OF the local
papers had a three-column account
in type, but sharp drove at full speed TO
the proprietor's home, and brought him
down town just as the pressmen were pre-
pairing to run off the papers. The sensa-
tion was thrown out, and the vacancy
filled with reprint. Mr.. Walker is
widower, and has a beautiful and charm
ing daughter attending one OF the large
female seminares OF this city. She has
been kept in ignorance Of her fathers es-
capade.

AN AWFUL SIGHT
To Greet the Eyes of Psrents-A Conduct
or Laid Low by Murdsrer's BludgeOn.


or Laid Low by Murdsrer's BludEeOn.
ATLANTA, GA, January 22-A special
train has just left the city for Athens, sew
entv miles distant, over the Georgia and
Carolina road, bearing the father and
mother OF Conductor Gables, who was mur-
dered there tonight. II seems that Con-
ductor Gables was on the south-bound
train, coming toward Atlanta, when ne
stopped at the depot at Athens for orders.
AS he stepped into the depot he was
felled by bludgeon and fell senseless to
the floor and in few minutes he was dead.
The widest excitement prevailed when
the tragedy became known. It was soon
ascertained that the Bousse brothers had
grudge against the conductor for some
reason or other, and that Allen BousSe was
the man who dealt the fatal blow. Around
the depot it was impossible to learn any
thing, as the station agent had given ord
ers to the employees not TO talk until the
coroner's jury should take possession OF the
remains. The body was still lying on the
floor where it had fallen at late'hour to-
night, awaiting the arrival Of the officers.
When the parents of the conductor left
Atlanta 1t was only known that he was
fatally wounded, and thew will only know
of his death when they arrive.
The shocking part Of the matter IS that
his dead body is lying at the very spot
where they will alight, and will be the
first object to greet their eyes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 22.-The
backward state of the annual appropriation
bills has impressed itself upon Congress.
The Senate is chargeable with thesgreater
delay in this respect. Not one of the bills
has vet passed that body, although the
House sent over three which are ready for
action.
1t is the general expectation that the
anti-option bill will come TO final vote be-
fore the middle of this week and then the
Appropriations Committee will probably
take the lead beginning with the fortifca-
tions or the army appropriation bill and tol-
lowing with the others as rapidly as they
can be reported. There may be a suspen-
sion of the order in this respect long
enough TO allow debate and action upon
the Cherokee outlet bill, some Of the In
ter State Commerce bills and one or two
other measures, which the Committee on
Order of Business may decide TO call up,
but none of these are likely to be Of such
a nature as TO arouse any party feeling.
That will probably manifest itself in the
executive sessions during the week in
connection with the McComas nomination,
which is the unfinished business when the
Senate closes its doors.
Tuesday, by notice already given, the
Senate will listen to euloges upon the late
Senator Barbour, of Virginia.
The silver repeal bill is the unknown
quantity in all calculations as to the bust
ness of the Senate, and il may become the
live issue at any time upon motion OF Sen
ator 20 proceed to its consideration, but at
this time no such purpose is openly ex-
pressed.
THE HOUSE.
The probabilities are that the House,
during the coming week will also occupy
itself largely with the delayed appropria-
tion bills, and will make an effort 10 catch
up with the record OF previous short ses-
sions of Congress on these supply bills.
Monday is District day under the rules,
and Mr. Holman intends 10 call up the
civil bill on that day and to ask the Dis
tTict to give way No calculation can be
made as TO the length of time il will take
this bill, with all It's numerous and varied
items, appealing TO local interests, TO pass
the House. 1t may 20 through almost as
rapidly as the Clerk can read its provisions,
or it may drag along for days. The appro'
priation for surplus of public lands IS re-
garded as especially insufficient by West
ern members, but on this, as on other
items, a vigorous fight may not be made in
the House, as the bill has to pass the
scrutiny of the Senate.
The Torrey bankruptcy BILLS the special
order for Tuesday and Wednesday, butthe
order gives appropriation bills precedence
aud therefore the bankruptcy bill will have
to yield the floor to appropriations, Mr..
Blount purposing to call up the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill on Tuesday
unless the sundry civil bill is in the way.
The general deficiency bill is also on the
calendar and will be called up at the first
opportunity and the military academy bill
is ready to report at any time.
