The Hartley Trial.

The case of the State of Nevada
against Mrs. Alice Nj. Hartley for the
killing OF M. d. Foley came up in the
District Court ut ~ o'clock to- day
for argument on bill of exceptions
on a motion for new trial. The de-
Tense was represented by Attorneys
L. R. Dodge and Robert M. Clark.
and the prosecution by District A tor
ney Curler and Attorney w. Il. T..
Deal.
Upon the converting OF Court Mr..
Dodge asked that the argument be
postponed until to morrow on account
OF the absence of his law partner. Mr..
Goodwin, who had been the leading
attorney in the case, and who was
prevented from arriving in tine on
account of the severe storm, but would
arrive this evening. After consider
able discussion among the attorneys
Judge Cheney postponed the argu.
ment until I O'CLOCK this evening
which viii give Judge Goodwin an
opportunity to be present. The ar
gument will not likely be completed
then, and will occupy good portion
of the day to morrow
Mrs. Hartley was not present in
court, owing to her critical physical
condition. She has been confined to
bee since the birth of her child, and
will probably not be able To get up
for some time.-GaZelte.

ter of a century of freedom have still

The Dude.
In the dark quarters Of the city the
colored of this class seem content with
a battered and smoky looking old cabin,
where the family pig is as much at
home as the baby, where the alleged
window is a composite of old hats, pa
per and dirty looking glass and where
the fat and greasy looking nanny
spends all her spare time in the open
air in front and the black little ones
roll in the dust contented, degraded and
happy. Yet out of these cabins on Sun
days and holidays come the completest
dudes and dudines in the city. Every
colored lad ON reaching the age Of ~ or
Whereabouts makes it the labor Of his
life to secure a good Sunday suit, and
the first savings of every colored girl as
soon as she gets old enough to work out
are devoted to the same purpose. 1t is a
praiseworthy ambition so far as it goes
and probably the harbinger Of some
thing better. To see a congregation Of
these people, and still more to see the
colored dude and dudine ON their Sun
day afternoon promenades, the stranger
would scarcely dream that they come
from such homes as these.

The adroitness displayed by tas

Track FetIock Deep in Mud at Graves
end-A Slim Attendance.

Racetrack, Gravesend, Sept. 1s.-The
races here to-day were run over a track
fetlock deep in mud. The weather was
decidedly unpleasant, and as there were
no special features, the attendance was
slim The principal event on the card,
which had been cut to ribbons, was the
race for the Neptune stakes, but this
proved to be a mere procession, as
NankipOoh ran as he pleased and won
without a sem blance of an effort from
Tinge by length and half The open
ing event was for maiden 3-year-olds, and
McCafferty sprung a surprise on the
talent, who had made Dongannon favor
tie Hartford, McCafferty's recent pur-
chase from w. G. DAILY took the lead
after going about quarter and won gal
Looping at the juicy odds of TO l. The
favorite finished second. Owlet, whose
odds opened at Is to l and closed
at 10 TO ], upset all calculations
by making a runaway race Of the
third event. She took the lead
when the flag fell, and Urania, who was
a heavily backed favorite, was never able
to get within striking distance of her.
She passed under the wire fighting for
her head with lead of two lengths An
other long-shot winner to-day was Long
bridge, who, at odds of 8 to l, defeated
Galloping King, after hot driving finish,
by a head. The latter, who was second
choice in the betting, is considered a
good horse, " swerved under punishment,
otherwise he would undoubtedly have
captured the race. Summaries were as
follows:
First Race-Six furlongs. Hartford, 100

Wedding Tour third. Time l54.

A Big Time Expected There Next
Saturday.

Waycross, Ga, Sept. 1S.-Among the
speakers next Saturday the following are
expected: Secretary Hoke Smith, Senator
John B. Gordon, Hon. Fleming G. duBig-
non, and probably Hon. Henry G. Turner.
Preparations are being made for a big
barbecue.
Prof. Floyd Snelson, principal of the
colored high school, is doing some effec-
tive work in opposition to the populists,
who are trying TO induce the colored peo-
pie to support their party. He is making
speeches to the blacks in different parts
of this section, and advises them to make
no promises to the populists. He is of
the opinion that the colored republicans
should support the Democratic party this
year. He is urging his friends and &C
quaintances to make no mistake, and he
is meeting with much encouragement
The populists in this county are very
weak, and they are desperate lot of fell
lows. They are bent on putting in the
field full ticket for county omces, and
yet they have not a ghost of a chance to
elect single man. Their only hope lies
in dividing the colored vote, and in this
consummation their chances would not be
more than handful of supporters. But
there is scarcely a probability of their
persuading the colored people to vote with
them.

HER REMAINS RECOVERED.
The Body of Mrs. Tye Found After an
All Night Search.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 1s-The body of
Mrs. Drew Tye, who was drowned while
attempting 10 cross a swollen creek in the
western suburbs of the city in her buggy
late yesterday afternoon. was recovered
about O'Clock this morning. after an all
night search. The body had been washed
TWO miles down the stream, and was COW
cred almost over with sand and debris.
The buggy IN which she was driving,
when she met her death, was found near
the same place.
Reports of considerable damage from
last nights heavy rains have come in to-
day. The rainfall from 3 until y o'clock
was 40 inches, the heaviest on record
for that length of time IN this section.
The damage done is mostly in the nature
Of washouts. All the railroads entering
the city had washouts of a more or less
troublesome extent, one of the Cen
trails tracks near East Point being rem
dered useless until this afternoon. The
street railways have also had their track
gangs out il force to-day repairing dam
ages. A trestle on the Consolidated COM
pany's line. near Edgewood, was entirely
swept away.
A main sewer on Baker street was
bursted and heavy damage done to the
old waterworKs station, the tiltering
house being partly swept away and the
engine house considerably damaged by
the big dam overlooking. AT one
time il was feared that the dam
would break. Had it given away
there would have been a good many lives
lost by the flood in the valley below.
Two negroes working on a dairy farm
near Decatur are reported to have been
drowned in a creek while attempting to
cross in a wagon.
1t is estimated that the streets Of the
city suffered to the extent of 81 600 by the
storm
Besides the damage to tracks the power
house of the traction company was
flooded, and to-day that line is tied up.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
General Complaint Heard as to Boil
Worm RaVages.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1S.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau, is
sued to-day, reports general complaint of
ravages of the boil worm. In some locali-
ties great damage has been done by this
pest, although general crop conditions for
the past week have been more favorable
than previous periods.
Corn and sugar cane will be the lar
gest crops had in years. The reports
from the southern counties of the state
are all encouraging; boil worms being the
only hindrance. The western counties
suffered from heavy rains, and some dam
age was done to open cotton, while
reports from Central Georgia
show a marked deterioration in
crops on account of unfaVorable
weather. Boil worms are also very
bad in this section, the present estimate
of the cotton crop being very much below
what was expected month ago. Highly
satisfactory conditions of cotton and
other crops are reported from the east
ern, southern and southwestern counties.
Cotton crop is, however, short
