Another Atlanta Sensation.

ATLANTA, Jan. I.-William Givens,
who has no settled occupation, was ar
rested here this afternoon for attempt.
ing to kill his wife. About 3o'clock
this morning, Nrs. Givens was W tked
from deep sleep by the loud report of
pistol in her room. She sprang up
wildly, instantly awake. She screamed
aloud and threw out her arms for her
husband, whom she supposed to be
sleeping by her side. lie was not there
and she screamed all the louder at find
A second and third pistol shot quick
ly followed and Mrs. Givens felt a
stinging sensation about her head. She
fell back upon her pillow which was
rapidly reddening with her own blood.
She heard the voice of her husband a
few feet away calling to her not to be
frightened and not to scream. She fell
back upon her pillow exhausted and
begging for mercy. Her husband
made a light and very much excited,
walked over to her side and discove red
that she was shot. lie helped her to
stop the flow of blood and after day
light went in search of physician, 1t
was not until 8 o'clock that Givens tel
ephoned to the police. Officers Barrett
and Bone placed him under arrest and
carried him to police headquarters sus.
pecting him of having done the shoot
ing. Givens protested innocence and
said that he was awakened by the
shots. He sprang out of bed at the
sound of the first shot and could dis
tlnctly see that some one was firing
through the window from the outside.

ceased did he make any noise. Then

to quiet herself and stop screaming.
Mrs. Givens indicated to the officers
her belief that her husband had done
the shooting. She felt morally certain
of it, although the evidence was mainly
circumstantial.
Officer Bone believes there Is no
doubt Of GiVen'S guilt. lie says he
carefully measured some foot prints
beneath the window and compared the
measurements with the dimensions of
Givens' feet and the two correspond
exactly. lie also accurately measured
the horse tracks in the yard and after
wards measured the feet of horse in a
lot which adjoins Givens' home, and
found that the feet and the tracks were
of the same size exactly. Officer Bone
says he thinks Givens took the horse
out Of the lot and tied it outside his
gate intending to made his escape on it
after killing his wife. An exhaustive
search was made for the pistol, but it
was not found. He has employed Mr..
+. M. Mitchell to defend him. Mrs.
Givens says that her husband was al
ways jealous of her and frequently ac
cused her of receiving visits from a
we'll known physician, which insinua-
ton she denounced as without founda.

Irby on the Anxious Bench.

WASilINGTON, January 16.-There
was a mysterious meeting this after.
noon in Senator Irby's committee room
at the Capitol. Early in the day Sena-
TOT lrby informed your correspondent
that he was preparing letter which he
proposed to send to all Of the leading
South Carolina papers for publication.
lie said 1T related to the political sltua-
ton IN the State, and he was anxious
thatlt should be sent by telegraph.
Later he took luncheon with John
Gary Evans, who does not appear to be

specialists about his throat trouble"

ana afterWard the Senator and MIR. Ev-
ans went over to the uouse of Repre-.
sentatives to see Messrs. Strait, Lati-
mer and Talbert. When next seen the
Senator and his friends were heading
LOT the Senator's committee room,
which Is IN the basement Of the Senate
wing. 1t is understood that the Sena.
tor Is somewhat worried by the stories
In circulation concerning him at home,
and he fears some of his political assO-
clates are disposed to misrepresent him,
and he feels that he must be up and
doing or his political picture may be
turned toward the wall" The confer
ence this afternoon was probably to
agree upon the terms to be employed
In the Senator's proclamation and
probably he feels that he needs the
sanction of some of his Congressional
associates in the undertaking. Repre-
sentative Shell was not invited to the
conference, and it Is not known wheth
er Representative McLaurin was pres.
ent. The latter has recently shown a
disposition to act independently of
Senator lrby SO far as national and
State matters are concerned, and he an.
pears to be making as much, If not
more, progress than those members
who are inclined to look to the Junior
Senator for advice and guidance on all
public questions. Recently Represen-
tatlve L4tlmer has gained considera BILE
independence from the encouraging
letters he has received from influential
constituents and he shows an inclina-

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
OF the West Virginia Weather Service for
the Week Ending April Ii.

VI inc west Virginia weather service Tor
tho Week Ending April Ii.
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, I
WEATHER BUREAU,
WEST VIRGINIA STATE SERVICE,
~PARKERsBuRG, W. Va. April l6.
General Summary-The week was
characterizedby cold rains, uncvenlydis-
tributed, with snow in tho mountain
GUS districts, in aomo localities as much
as six inches felll, temperature and sun
shine below the average, together with
occasional frosts and was unfavorablo
to the proper growth OF all forms Of
vegetation. Some improvement in the
weather conditions is noted during the
later portion OF the week and crops be-
gan to show signs OF IN advance. Farm
work vas retarded somewhat by the
wet weather but has been resumed with
visor. Flowing is about completed.
Some ground being narrowed.
Cereals and Grasses-The fall OF snow
on tho 10th and -l1th' proved beneficial
TO wheat and it now looks much better
and mostly doing well. Oats suffered
somewhat by the cold and made little
or no progress, in fact tho oats are now
in a rather poor condition. Grass was
at a standstill during first OF week, but
has improved very much during the
past few days. Young clover received
n backset but is not thought TO be mate
rally damaged.
Eogetables-Work on garden was re.
ahmed late in tho week and much re.
planting has been done. Vegetable
growth has been at a standstill until the
last day or 80 since when 1t has shown
signs OF n renewed growth. Potatoes
and onions that were planted early in
March are still in bad shape. Owing to
the poor outlook for fruit larger gardens
will be made, there being yet some
chance for the latter.
Fruits = Correspondents still claim
that all early fruits have been injured
to m immense extent, some beyond all
chance OF recovery. Pluns, cherries,
pears and peaches in many localities
are practically pas. redemption, in
others the situation is not so bad. There.
is yet n fair prospect for late apples.
Many fruit trees that were injured arc
blooming again, but it is thought that
the fruit itscli,was killed. The outlook
for small fruits OF late varieties aud
berries looks more promising, although
little progress. generally speaking, was
made during the week.

been supplied, with tho consent OF the
Brazilian minister. who has received
advices from Rio De Janeiro, saying
that d general amnesty will DO granted
to the insurgcnt rank and file and that
the Brazilian government will pay the
quarantine expenses OF the ships il
they are surrendered to tho Brazilian
minister. Consequently tho Argentine
government, with the consent OF the
rebel leaders, is o experimenting the
delivery OF tho five war vessels to tho
Brazilian minister, and this will have
been accomplished by the time'this
dispatch reaches tho United States.
The crews OF the rebel chips are be.
ing disembarked ut the Lazaretto here
and will DO cared for until further or.
doris are received from Rio De Janoiro.
1t is believed that when tho men and
ships arc in proper condition they will
rejoin tho Brazilian vessels, under gov
eminent officers, and return to Rio De
Janeiro.
President Peixoto's government has
notified the government OF Uruguay
that the expenses and passage money
home OF tho insurgents who landed in
the department OF Rocha, Uruguay. will
be paid by tho Brazilian government
and that they may all, with the excep-
ton OF the leaders. return TO Brazil with
no fear Of being severely punished for
the part which they have taken in the
rebellion.
Nothing seems to be known OF the
ultimate destination OF Admiral De-
Mello and General Salgado, though it
is believed that the former will take
the earliest opportunity Of escaping TO
some foreign country where he can hide
himself for the rest OF his life. On all
sides the utmost contempt is expressed
for Admiral DeMcllo, whose desertion
OF Admiral DaGama is looked upon rs
being q piece Of cowardly tfeacherv,
which even tho admiral's most init
mate supporters condemn. To such an
extent docs this feeling prevail that it
is openly stated that DaGama proposes
to seek out Admiral DeMello and COM
pei him to meet him in mortal combat.
These who should know admiral De-
Mollo believe he will take care to avoid.
