and stated that the surgeons had extracted
the bullet and the mayor might recover
Two hundred policemen surround the city
hall and keep back the crowd, which has

Wound Inflicted bv Her Dead Sweet
heart
ATLANTA, GA, March 90. - Selita
Muegge, the pretty Italian girl who was
shot in January and nearly killed by her
lover, Umberto Piantini, at the Metropolis
tan hotel, has passed from the valley OF the
shadow 20 the hymenial altar. She became
a bride a week ago, but the ceremony has
been kept quiet. Her husband is John Piota,
wealthy Italian fruit vender, who has
been her constant attendant since Piantini
sent the bullet through her head which
came near ending her hfo The Piantini
tragedy is still fresh in the minds
OF the public. Two months ago
Umberto Piantini, ON italian sculptor,
and Selita Muegge, his step-sister, registered
a. man and wife and secured room in the
Metropolitan hotel. After remaining to-
gether in tho room for several hours, Plan
tint placed a small revolver near the girls
ear and pulled che trigger. The ball lodged
behind the right ear. Piantlni then sent
ball crashing through bis own head. Those
attracted to the room found them clasped
in each others arms and bathed in each
others blood. Their apparel was scattered
over the room.
THE ROMANTIC NOTE.
A note written by the girl saying, "In
this moment that we write we are happy -
and asking that they be buried together in
Oakland cemetery was found IN the room.
Selita Muegge was taken to the home Of her
step-father, #. Piantlnt, No. 4l6 South
Pryor street, ana Umberto Piantini was
taken to the Grady hospital. where he after
ward died. The physioanB attending the
girl predicted that she would die. They
had chance 90 save her life, but she stated
that she did not want Co live and did every-
thing she could to hasten her death.
PIoTA APPEARS ON THE sCRNE
Three days after the shooting the family,
worn out with watching at the bedside OF
the young woman, were glad to accept the
offer Of John Piota TO assist them in caring
for her. After that he was constant ats
tendant at her bedside and tenderly watched
over her as she slowly recovered from the
wound Piota, who is 50 years of age, was
soon seized with passion for the pretty
young girl whom he was watching, and az
soon as she recovered from the shock Of her
lovers death he began TO unb0som his love
TO her. SelitA had been out of her bed but
week when he proposed and was accepted,
and the occupant OF the grave
on which Selita begged that Ivy be planted
had been forgotten. Piota finally succeeded
in inducing the young woman TO consent to
an early marriage, and week ago II was
decided that Selita had sufficiently re-
covered, 30 Piota secured license and
preacher and, going 30 the home of his be-
loved, they we're soon made one. Thus
closes the last chapter OF one of the most
sensational affairs that ever occurred in
Atlanta. All who we're connected with il
are now happy, except. perhaps. the poor
wife of Umberto Plantini, whose
heart aches for the husband who preferred
death TO living with her.

They Will Probably ASK the Court to

Ma CON, GA. March 22.-The engineers
on the Central have taken another step in
their grievance with the management, one
that promises an early settlement OF the
matter. Attorney r. w. Patterson,
Assistant Grand Chief A. b. YounRson and

views OF the controversy pending between

that they earnestly desired 20 avoid fric-
zion with the railroad authorities and ex-
pressed an active and continuing interest
in its properties. They inti-
mated purpose to petition

through Mr.. YouDRson, the main spokes-
man, Judge Speer Informed the gentlemen
that IL was prodtless TO come to the court
unless they were prepared to accept its
conclusion. He called their attention 10

the court is delling with the govern

OF course for any grievance which a
party might have who appealed
to the courts there is an appeal
to q higher court, but If they applied to the
court they must clearly understand that
the decision of the court after "a full hear
ing would control their action. The com.
mittee stated that they understood this aud
proposed to ask nothing except that which
was fair and just, and II they took action
before the court, they expected to abide its
decision. It is therefore likely that the dis
pute between the officers and employees of
the company will be judicially settled.

PLUMS OF THE SENATE.
TIE DEMOCRAT OFFER TO COM
PROMISE ON THA OFFICES.

They Suggest That the Incumbent
Hold Their Places TIL July, and
Then Give Way 20 -sher-
man to Lay the Matter Before the
Republican Caucus.
WASHINGTON. March 22-The battle
over the Senate elective offices be-
gan in the executive session of the
Senate to-day with the proffer OF a
compromise by the democrats, the terms Of
which we're that the present officers draw
their salaries until July l. when the new
officers who will be elected shall qualify
and assume office. The suggestion Of a COM
promise came from Senator German as
chairman OF the democratic caucus
he said that 10 seemed to be- the
easiest and best way out OF the
difficulty and presented an equitable divis-
ion Of salary that would enure TO the em-
ployes. The argument had been made that
summary dismissal Of employees without
due notice would work a hardship and the
proposition made to the republicans would e,
he thought, neutralize the effect of such an
argument and be fair treatment of all con-
cerned.
SHERMAN ON-COMNITTAL.
Senator Sherman, as chairman Of the re-
publican caucus. replied 30 this proposition.
While appreciating the motives that caused
the proposition to be made, Senator Sher-
man was very non-committal, and said he
could not speak for his party until they had
conferred together. This will be done at
to-morrow's caucus, and at the next sue
ceeding executive session the democrats will
be made acquainted with the determine
tion reached. An effort will then be made
to dispose Of the matter in executive ses-
sion, except the formal notification in open
session OF any agreement that may be
reached.
A TEST OF ENDURANCE.
II, on the other hand, the republicans re-
fuse TO consider any compromise, the demo-
Gratis, il is understood, will offer their reso-
luton TO proceed with the election in open
session and the test Of endurance will begin.
AT the caucus Of the democrats which
nominateda a ticket for S enate officers, it
was agreed that certain republicans should
not be disturbed. They are the venerable
assistant doorkeeper, Isaac Bassett; the acts
ing assistant doorkeeper, Charles B. Reade ;
chief Of pages, Alonzo ii. Stewart; finan-
cial clerk, r. B. Nixon, and superintendent
of the document room, Amzi Smith.

carry people who wanted to get a final icok at the men-of-war.
 In more ways than one was the fact that this was the last day of the rendezvous emphasized. One of tho most interesting incidents was the provisioning of the ships for the cruise. The steamers from the large cities this morning were piled high with edible freight. Tons and tons of beef were brought from Baltimore and trannsferred by hands moro or less unclean
 to the ship cutters, which were dancing on
 the waves at the wharf Huge crates of canned goods and mamouth sacks of vege- tables stood side by side with food enough
 to stock a store.
 A rampant of bread edged the wharf and
 might, if the occasion had arisen, have
 served the same person as the bales of
 cotton did for Andrew Jackson at the
 battle of New Orleans. One pile of bread contained by actual count 3, ,S76 loaves and there were several other mountains of baked dough nearly as large.
 American, English, German, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch sailors hovered around the food or transferred it amid a babel-like confusion to their own boats. All this had to be done on Sunday as there was no time for it this morning. The fact has leaked out that some of the British sailors have made themselves scarce, and that at least 20 were missing from roll call when the ships departed. Secretary Herbert passed a quiet Sun day. At the invitation of Admiral Hop | kins he attended divine service or ! the Blake in the morning and il the afternoon called on Washington friends | on shore
