GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.
They May Coalesoe With the Populists
or May Not.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 2s.-The republican
convention will meet here Jo-morrow pur-
suant to a call of the executive committee,
which provided that the convention shall
nominate a ticket for governor and state
house officers. There is much doubt how
ever. whether this convention will see fit
TO abide by the recommendation Of the
executive committee in putting out state
ticket.
Col A E. Buck, the big boss Of the
grand old party in Georgia, who is chair
man Of the executive committee, insisted
upon calling the convention for the ex-
pressed purpose of naming ticket, IS In
Maine sick. and the chance appears to be
that the faction which IS opposed to put
ting out a ticket will prevail. This
faction. which is managed by the
negro leaders of the party, want TO
cOalesce with the popuists as they did
two years ago. Watson and Hines have
been working with these people for some
time past, and they stand good show Of
carrying the day. Watson and Hines
have convinced some of the negro leaders
that their only hope Of getting share Of
spOils is by voting with the popullsts.
With Buck present there would certainly
be lively row, and there may be anyhow,
Col Buck had a double purpose IN
view in issuing a call for the same date
as the convention TO nominate a state
ticket. He wanted to make a showing
that would help him back into ONCE IN
the event of d republican administration
next time In addition to this he has a
score TO settle with Tom Watson and his
pOpulist cOad Tutors on account of the
campaign of two years ago. In the bitter
ness of their defeat then, both Watson
and Peek. the gubernatorial candidate,
said very uncomplimentary things about
Buck and his part in the campaign. This
made the colonel mad and he registered
an obligation to even up things the first
opportunity. He determined from the
outset TO prevent coalition of republi
cans and populists this year if he posi-
bly, could. and thus knock one of the
strongest props from populist hopes. The
best way to accomplish this end, be con-
cluded. was to have a straight republican
ticket in the field, and several months
ago he went TO the meeting of the
executive committee and framed the call,
ordering the convention TO nominate a
candidate for governor and state house
officers. Bucks effort on that occasion
caused a relapse, from which he has not
yet recovered. He went to Maine to get
back his health, and is not able to return
to Georgia to carry out his design. In
his absence the populist leaders have
been at work on the colored republicans,
and may succeed in defeating the object
for which the convention was ordered and
effect a coalition

PREPARING FOR THE CONTEST.
Democrats of Orlando Organizing for
WORK.

Orlando, Fla, Aug. 2s.-The democrats
of Orlando revived and recognized their
club last night. II had been inactive
during the period Of nearly two years
since the close Of the last campaign. But
they got together last night, reelected
the former president, Hon. w. l.. Peeler,
made Mahlon Gore first and B. c. Aber-
nethy second vice presidents, L. c.
Vaughan secretary and Alex McRae as
sistaBt secretary. A EoOjly number Of
names were added to the list of member
ship and an invitation was extended TO
every democrat in the precinct 10 Join and
assist in the good work.
A list Of voters or those entitled to vote
IN the precinct was received from the
county executive committee. II contains
the name of every person who is or would
be entitled TO vote IN the precinct regard
less of politics or color. IL is intended to
oe an aid in hunting up any and all demo
Gratis who may have neglected to register
or pay their pol tax in order to bring out
the tull strength of the party a. the OctO-
Der election. Similar books have been
prepared by the executive committee for
eacn precinct in Orange county, and the
work of a thorough canvass is inaugu-
rated. There will be no uncertain report
from Orange county on Oct. ?
Hon. NJ. r. Marks, nominee for state
nominee for the assembly, and Capt. w.
c. Mutt, nominee for county assessor,
were present at the meeting. and after
the routine work was finished were called
out and made short addresses
Speeches indoTsing the actions Of the
state, congressional. senatorial and county
conven tions were made by Messrs. John
G. Jones, George b. Dickinson, L. d.
Browne and President Peeler, after
which, by rising vote, the club ratified
the action of the convention and the uomi-
nations.s
Mr.. Arnold is again on duty, after hav-
ing been confined to his house for two or
three weeks by injuries received by an
explosion Of gas from a gasoline tank.
The tank had been empty for two weeks,
and had stood open in the yard during
that time. The opening was large enough
to admit the body of the boy who cleaned
it out 1t had been washed and
rinsed several times BY filling it
with water and emptying it
out again, and il would seem
that every particle of gasoline and gas
must have been removed. 1t stood for
several hours after washing In order to
ascertain if the washing had been thor
ough, upon returning home after night,
MIR. Arnold lighted match to look inside.
The result was an explosion and a badly
damaged man. His right arm and hand.
face and neck were scalded so that the
skin peeled off The tank was made of
galvanized iron, and consequently it was
impossible that the material could have
held any of the LIQUID by absorption
There is a mystery about the case which
probably will never be explained.

A SENSATION IN COBB.
Jury Commissioners Charged With
Fixing the Jury Lists.

Jury Commissioners Charged With
Fixing the Jury Lists.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 28.-The pretty little
town of Marietta, twenty miles up the
Western and Atlantic road, and Cobb
county, are considerably excited over a
report that the jury commissioners have
been monkeying with the jury list The
commissioners are said to be the political
friends of Judge Gober of the Blue Ridge
circuit. Several weeks ago, as reported
in these dispatches at the time, the grand
jury of Cobb refused to indorse Judge
Gober's candidacy for the supreme bench
Naturally this was the cause of a good deal
of warm feeling, especially as the county
was already split into factions, Judge
GoOer being at the head of one SIDE.
When the jury list was received several
days ago the names of those who voted
against indorsing Judge Gober for the
supreme bench were found to be omitted,
although they were among the best citi-
zens and had always been on the list.
The jury commissioners were all appointed
by Judge Gober and are his close friends,
which has given rise TO the report that
the omission OF the anti-Gober men was
intentional on account of their action in
the grand jury room.

RUssELL's OPPONENTS.
Third Partyites Invade Albany t,
hold Their Convention.

Albany, Ga, Aug. 2S.-Without any
beating of drums or other formal an
nouncement, third party delegates began
to invade this city to-day for the purpose
of holding a convention tomorrow to
nominate candidate for congress.
n Z. Crozier, chairman of the third
party congressional executive committee,
said to your correspondent to-day that
every one of the fifteen counties in the
district would have a full representation
in the convention.
There will be two candidates before the
convention, DR.. j. II. Pickett, ex-repre-
sentative from Worth county, and Will
lam Smith of Decatur county. but from
what could be learned from delegates al
ready here Smith will be the man put in
nomination to be slaughtered by Con
gresham Russell. IL seems, coming as
they do unheralded and with big delega,
tions, that it is the intention of the third
party leaders TO strike terror into the
democratic ranks.
The democrats will follow on Aug 81
with their congressional convention
which will nominate Ben E. Russell o.
Decatur county.

BOLD BURGLARY.
An Atlanta Negro Smashes a Window
and Robs Store.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug, 2S-It is a fact that
most merchants find that handsome win
dow displays are a good investment.
Kaiser & Co., jewelers. and brokers on
Decatur street, are however an exception
TO this rule. The firm, which has a mag
nifcent window has recently tempted pas
sers by with valuable ornaments of Jew
elry as well as lot of crisp new green
backs distributed artistically among
the jewels. All night long the win
dow has been kept brilliant
with electric lights. This morning at 2
o'clock, Tom Rains, vagrant negro, hap
pened TO pass that way; the sight was too
much for him. He went into an alley,
got big rock. and when the policeman
on that beat had turned a corner, let fly.
In short order the negro followed the
rock through the broken glass. and grab
bling both hands full of bills and jewelry,
made dash for liberty The bold bur
glary created a good deal of excitement
in police circles. About daylight, Rains
was captured hiding in his own alley. He
had plumber still with him, besides pair
of badly cut hands, which will help con
vict him of the burglary.

Citizen of Macon.

ClClzen OF macon.
Macon, Ga, Aug. 28.-An old man
named McMullins was assaulted late last
night by negro named Preston Fields,
who knocked him down with a piece Of
heavy scantling and then literally chewed
his thumb of.
Fields had been employed to carry din
ner TO MIR. McMullins, but of late had not
been giving satisfaction. Yesterday he
had let the dinner get wet in some man
ner and was reprimanded by Mr.. McMul-
Inns. Last night the negro was very sui
len when MIR. McMullins went home and
took occasion to strike a horse belong
ing to Mr.. McMullins while the latter
was looking at him. MIR. McMullins
demonstrated with him. and, without say
ing word, the negro turned on him and
struck him over the head telling him to
the ground. He then jumped on Mr.. Nc
Mullins and literally chewed one of his
thumbs, making Mr.. McMullins promise
10 let him alone before he would release
him.
Mr.. McMullins is seriously and per-
haps fatally injured. Fields was fined
S25 by the recorder and committed to the

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Outlook for Cotton Not Particularly
Favorable-Corn Doing Well.


Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 2s.-The weekly
crop bulletiuu of the weather department
issued to-day says: The continued wet
weather Of the past week, accompanied
by deficiency in both heat and sunshine,
has not been very favorable for cotton,
although there has been no marked de-
terioration in the stable. It appears to
be wedding too rapidly, and in few scat
tered localities is shedding.
Corn continues fine, in fact it would be
diticult to imagine better condition
The central counties of the state, it is
feared, have not been so fortunate as
some OF the surrounding sections Too
much rain, with lack of sunshine, have
retarded fodder pulling, and it is thought
some of the crop will be entirely lost.
Cotton has also suffered greatly on &C.
count of the excessive moisture. rust is
spreading and the squares and round bolls
are dropping off. The staple, although
far below the average, is in good condi-
ton, considering the reverses it met with
in the early part of the season. The lands
are well saturated, and no blowing can be
done, although potatoes and cane are
badly in need of it.
The crop outlook is not fiattering Re-
ports from South Georgia also show an
excess of rain and a lack of sunshine dur
ing the past week, and that excessive
rains and high winds have done consider
able damage to crops; however, all agree
that the crop outlook is about an average
one.
Cotton picking is now the order of the
day. The quality of cotton is not so good
as last year, and the yield will be less.
AS has been the case in many other
parts of Georgia, the weather of the
southeastern counties has been quite wet,
and some crops are in need of less moisture
and more sunshine. Cotton especially
would be benefited by a dry and warm
period 1t is rusting and shedding in

PoPULISTS ROUTED.
A Bad Day for Them in Emanuel
County


County
Statesboro, Ga, Aug. 2s.-The popu-
lists received a deadly blow just over the
line in Emanuel county on Saturday.
There was to have been Joint debate
between Col. Frank Sofield and w. r.
King, populist nominees for controller
general on the populist side, and Judge
H. d. d. Twiggs and Col. George M
Warren were TO represent democracy.
When the day came Messrs. King and
Solfield, the populist leaders, failed to
show up. Messrs. Twiggs and Warren
were on hand, and were asked by the dis
puted populists present if they would
meet Watson and Hines. T. This request
made one of the most eloquent speeches
of his life, and when he came
to dealing with Hines negotiating
record he called on the colored
people present to know if there was any
colored men present who heard Judge
Hines call the negro brute and their
women unchaste, as charged by the
Statesboro Star Several negroes arose
and said that the charges were true,
they having been witnesses to the same.
There were also several white men pres
enJ who rose up in the crowd and testi-
fed that the charges are true, although
Hines bitterly denies them. 1t was con-
sidered a complete rout of the populists
in Emanuel county.
Judge Twiggs and Hon. T. S. Morgan,
Jr., will address the people of Bulloch
county near E'ay's Mill on Aug. 30. A
big basket dinner will be given and a
large crowd will be present.

Varnadae of Warwick, Worth county,
who has been here for several weeks un-

Session of the Supreme Lodge-Pyth-
ian Sisterhood Also Meets.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-The meeting Of
the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias to-
day was not productive of any important
business. Eighty one new memb ers,
from many states and some foreign coun-
tries, were admitted to membership. A
pleasant incident was the presentation to
Supreme Chancellor Blackwell of hand
some gavel inlaid with silver. by the
Idaho delegates and a gold and silver
jeweled monument by Montana's repre-
sentatives. The death of Congressman
Shaw, past supreme chancellor, was re-
ferred to in appropriate language by Mr..
Feathers of Wisconsin, who also pre-
scented suitable resolutions and a memo
rial. When these mad been adopted, the
supreme lodge, as further mark Of re-
spect to the memory of Mr. Shaw, ad-
1ourned until tomorrow.
Like the meeting of the supreme lodge,
the meeting Of the supreme assembly of
the Pythian sisterhood which was held
at Grand Army hall, was conducted with
closed doors, but the sisters sought to re-
fute the old saying about a woman and a
secret, by declining to give out anything
official about their proceedings.
Mrs. A. A. Young the supreme chan
cellor, made an address and presented her
report. The other officers also presented
their reports, showing encouraging prog
ress. 1t has been determined that
Mrs. George w. Bomis of Worcest ter,
Mass, shall be the next supreme chan,
cellor. indianapolis appears to be the
favorite for the honor of having the next
meeting of the Pythian's supreme lodge
and encampment of the uniform rank in
1896. The selection is TO be made by the
supreme lodge, and the indianapolis men
are using every argument in favor of their
city.
Boston and Minneapolis are also in the
race, but their representatives have not
yet displayed much activity in striving
for the honor.
