a LONG LOST UNCLE.
Some Interesting Facts of Family
History.

History.
SandeTsville, Ga nov. BIN the year
1857 Washington Gilbert, son of William
T. Gilbert, who was well known to the
older citizens of the lower part of this
county, left his fathers home on account
of his fathers second marriage against
the wishes of the family. Not one of
the Gilbert family has ever known where
he went, or what became of him. Recently
our worthy clerk, Mr.. c. W. Smell, received
a letter from Oden, Montgomery county
Arkansas, signed Mrs. Georgia Singleton;
also another letter from Sims, Montgom-
cry county, Arkansas, signed Mrs. A.
D. Anderson, each of them inquiring after
the settlement of the estate of William
I. Gilbert, stating that they were grand
daughters of WillialN T. Gilbert, who died
in 1868. Mr.. Smell, knowing that NJ. G.
Woods, Jr., was a grandson of William T.
Gilbert, referred the matter to him. He
at once wrote to the parties, telling them
what he knew about the settlement Of
the grandfathers estate, and also to know
If they were daughters of Washington
Gilbert who was an uncle of his, and
who left this county thirty-seven years
ago, and has never been heard of by any
of the family since until this correspond
ence. He to-day received a letter from
Mrs Singleton, saying she is a daughter
OF Washington Gilbert. and that she re-
members well that her father removed
from this county to Grayson, Tex, in the
year 1858. to the home Of John A Pea
cock, who also went from this county
in 1858. where he remained until the year
1868. when he removed to Oden, Mont
gomery county. Arkansas, where he died
Aug. II, 1881, and her mother. who was
Sarah Peacock, died May, II 1874, leaving
a family Of eleven children, giving their
names, and where they all live.
The children of William T. Gilbert are
all dead, but there are a great many
grandchildren and relatives in this county
and in Laurens ana Johnson counties
who will no doubt be glad 10 know what
became of their uncle and his family
Mrs. Georgia Singleton, Oden, Mont
gomery county. Arkansas; or Mrs. A. d.
Anderson, Sims, Montgomery county, Ar
kansas, can give further information of
the family.

Washington, Jan. S.-For the first
time since the arrival of the Corwin
and the recent alarming reports from
Honolulu, Secretary Gresham submit
ted to an interview tonight on the Ha-
waiian situation. He talked with great
earnestness and replies to questions
consisted almost wholly of denials.
He says if there was any trouble at
Honolulu, neither the president nor
the state department knew anything
about it. He denied the report that
the department had received any dis
paches from the Corwin. but stated
dispatches by the regular course of the
mails were expected from Willis on
Wednesday.
And whatever dispatches are re-
ceived at that time" said Gresham,
will be sent to Congress at once
Gresham stated that neither the pres
ident nor the state department knew
anything about the Corwin being an
chored off San Francisco, and if it
was there it was not by any order Of
the executive or the department of
state.
Regarding the reports that Willis
or the queen were on board the Cor
win, Gresham pronounced them fabri-
cations. The Corwin, being revenue
cutter, is under the control Of the treas
ury department, and any dispatches
sent by Captain Munger would, there
fore, naturally go to Secretary Carlisle.

NO RIOT OR BLooDsHED.
The Cock-and-Bun Story Not Be-
Ifeved in Washington.

Washington, Jan. S.-A rumor gain
ed circulation at he Capital today
that troops had been landed at Homo
lulu. and there had been riot and
bloodshed.
It can be stated, on the highest au-
thority. that the Corwin brought nc
such news Willis gave notice, pending
the receipt of an answer to the Motif
cation that the queen had refused to
accede to the conditions, that he would
allow no violent outbreak on either
side.
Under the later instructions sent him
by the Corwin, it is doubtful if he
would feel authorized TO land troops
except in the event of hostilities be-
tween the parties on shore that would
endanger the safety of Americans.
The state department has maintained
a strict reticence on Hawaiian affairs
today.
The rumor that Willis has received
his passports has every appearance OF
being out of whole cloth President
Dole undoubtedly would avoid any act
of hostility towards the United States
It is also felt at the state department
that Willis must have made a, demand
upon Dole with an explicit foreknowl-
edge that it would be without result
and would be a mere formal following
out Of The letter of his orders.

THE WATER RESOURCES.
Results Reported of the Recent In
vestigations.

Washington, JAN S.-The investiga-
ton of the water resources of the
United States undertaken by the geo.
logical survey has been practically
completed The work was commenced
in October, 1889. with the object of de-
termining the quantity Of water avail
able, for irrigation of arid lands in the
west or for the use as water power.
Studies have been made of most of the
drainage basins west of the Tooth
meridian as we'll as several of the
"catchments' of the east
Scientists have devoted a large part
of the time in examining the run offs
of the Missouri, Arkansas, Rio Grande
and Snake rivers.
'Tt does not appear probable" said
Geologist f. Newell, that even as
high as 10 per cent Of the land now
owned by the government can ever be
irrigated. In fact, there is not suf-
ficient supply of water to bring under
cultivation an arid region equal to that
which has passed into the hands of
individuals and corporations. There
are, however, localities where thous-
ands of acres can be proftably irri-
gated by construction of dams and
irrigating canals"

M'KINLEY INAUGURATED.
Quite n Number of Prominent DEM
Ocrats Were Present.


Columbus, o., Jan. S.-Governor
McKinley's second inauguration to-
day was, as usual in this state, more
of social than political event. The
leading Democrats had prominent
positions in connection with the cere-
monies, the only limit which they
placed on their party connection with
the Inauguration being that no Demo-
cratic clubs took part in the parade.
Colonel James Kilbourne, the posi-
bic Democratic nominee for chairman,
was on the committee on reception; l.
F. Ritter, of the Thurman club, one
of the chief aides to Marshal D. c.
Jones, the postmaster during Cleve-
lands first administration; Hon. H. ].
Booth, who ran against Foraker for
governor; Allen W. Thurman and
other Democrats of national or state
reputation were conspicuous in the
ceremonies. The parade was five
thousand strong and moved at 1 p. m.
1t consisted of Republican clubs
from various parts of the state, sup
plemented by other civic and military
organizations, reviewed by the gov
ernor and staff on Broad street, north
of the capitol. The inaugural cere-
monies were held at the west front of
the capitol in the presence of members
OF Ine legislature ana large audlence.
Chief Justice Bradbury of the supreme
court administered the oath of office
In courteous recognition of the fact
that his political opponents were as
sisting in doing him honor, the gov
ernor totally abstained from any par
tisan reference in his inaugural adj
dress, combining himself entirely to the
condition of the state; to the express
sion of pride in it's growth and achieve

energies for her further advancement.
and to cooperate with the legislature
in the enactment of laws to that end
He also made plea in behalf of the
workmen thrown out of employment
by the hard times.

Willis then notified the officers of the
provisional government that they were
Expected to relinquiSh to the queen her
constitutional authority, and asked:
Are you willing to abide by the de-
cision of the PRESIDENT
President Dole-The government will
take the matter under consideration
and answer you as soon as they are
ready.
Whistles. sir. gentlemen, good day.
Preceding the demand of Minister
Willis, correspondence took place be-
tween the two governments, the first
dated, Department of Foreign Affairs
Nov. 90, 1893" The letter is from Dole
to Willis, and states Dole is informed
of the unfriendly intentions of Presi-
dent Cleveland toward the provisional
government and inquiries whether the
published reports are correct. If so,
he desires information of the inten-
tons of the United States government
Willis replies on December 2, stating
Gresham's letter to the president is
not proper subject of diplomatic rep
RESERVATIONS being a, domestic tran
saction. Willis expresses the regret it
is not in his power, at present, to in
form Dole of the views or intentions
of the United States. Willis assures
Dole the president earnestly desires
a speedy settlement of the troubles
and will be ready to make known his
purposes as soon as he is informed of
certain matters recently submitted to
him.
The next letter is from Dole, Dec. Is,
to Willis, stating he is informed OF
Willis intentions to re-eStabliSh the
monarchy and asking if it is true, and
if Willis was acting in any way hostile
to the provisional government Dole
adds: Il appreciate fully the fact that
any such action on your part would
seem impossible, but as information
has come from such sources that 1 am
compelled to notice it, you will pardon
me for pressing you for immediate
answer" Willis replies Dec. 10, saying
he has communication from his gov
eminent which he desires to submit to
the president and minister of the pro-
visional government.
A copy of the provisional govern
ments reply to Willis demand was
drafted by Dole and contained between
5000 and 5000 words. 1t is an able
document and states the Hawaiian case
in no pleading form. One of the strong
points in reply is that the eX-queen's
point Of amnesty is not touched. Tne
president and the government, being
prepared for resistance, are of opinion
that side issues cannot be justly raised
either by Cleveland or monarchy.
Mr. IhurSJOn leaves mere lOHloiloW
by the steamer Pekin for Washington.
He will take with him a copy of the
governments reply to Willis, which
has been refused to the press.
President Dole said the refusal was
diplomatic point not to publish the
answer before it was placed in the
hands of President Cleveland. The
Associated Press correspondent has
been assured that should President
Cleveland delay the delivery of this
document it will at once be made
public on the arrival of Thurston by
the steamer Pekin.

DRAWN BY A DARK HORSE.
Cronin's Body Was Followed by
Prisoner CoughIin.

Chicago, Jan. S.-The first witness
called this morning in the Coughlin
case was Frank Bardeen. He testified
that on the night Dr. Cronin was
murdered he was at south Evanston
and Edgewater. That night he saw
Coughlin in Edgewater. Bardeen is SUI
pervising engineer of the Edgewater
syndicate and was attempting to get
an engine at south Evanston in or
der that night, and finishing his work,
went to Edgewater station to see a
friend about 10 o'clock. His friend
was absent and Bardeen said he sat on
the steps waiting for him. Between
and 2 O'clock a long wagon, drawn
by a dark horse, and occupied by three
men, crossed the tracks. Two of them
alighted. The place was lighted by
electricity, so witness had good view.
