AN ANGRY FATHER.
He Is After the Man Who Ran Away
With His Daughter.

Tallahassee. Fla, Sept. q. -Tallahas-
seeans have had something out of the
usual order 70 talk about this week. 1t
appears that about two months ago a man
from Georgia or Alabama, named T. K.
Whaley. obtained employment in a saw
mill at Hilliardville, on the Carrabelle,
Tallahassee ana Georgia railroad. about
twelve miles from Tallahassee. He soon
became acquainted with Miss Annie ID.
Powell, aged q years, and daughter Of
Mr. Erastus Powell. a Well-tO-dO farmer
in that neigh borhoOd. OF course the
young woman was buXOm and otherwise
attractive, and Whaley, although appar-
emily IL. in time professed great love for
the fair maiden. As the story goes. the
girls parents looked not with favor
upon Whaleys attentions TO their last of
four daughters, and forbade him to come
on their premises. Then came the oft
told sad story Of stealing and running an
innocent and too contiding maiden as
the irate father puts it,
Sunday afternoon. Whaley, assisted by
others, IL is said, persuaded the mother to
let Annie so with him in carriage to
prayer meeting in the neigh borhOod This
was all ruse, and when the girl was
once in the carriage, it was driven post
haste for Tallahassee, where the two put
up at the hotel Monday morning they took
the O'Clock train for the west,
and during the day Whaley telegraphed
from Quincy to have his trunk forwarded
to that place.
Monday afternoon the father of the I'M
fortunate girl arrived at Tallahassee and
had Policeman Henry wire the sheriff at
Quincy to arrest the parties. Tuesday
afternoon there came a telegram from
Sheriff Chester that he had Whaley at
Quincy, and Deputy Hopkins has gone to
bring the parties to this city. What will
be the outcome Of this affair may be de-
cided when the truants confront the out
ragged father
Monday afternoon Will Hudson and
Gus Cummings, negroes, attempted to
wreck a passenger train on the Cara
belle, Tallahassee and Georgia railroad,
near Spring Hill, nine miles below this
city, by placing distractions on the track
Monday night they were captured by
railroad men, near the scene of their OPP
erations, brought to this city and locked
up.
Mrs. J. S. Craft of Tampa is here to
visit relatives.
Mr.. Samuel Harrison of Jacksonville is
spending few days here.

HINES AT vALDosTA.
His Speech interrupted by a stranI

His Speech Interrupted by a Stranger.
Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 27-Judge James
X. Hines addressed an audience of about
800 people at the court house here yester-
day. The crowd was nearly equally
divided between democrats, populists and
negroes.
Judge Hines speech was an attack
on democracy, defense OF populsm and
an explanation of questionable points in
his own record. In defending himself
against the charges that have been made
against him as to his dealings with his
clients in certain cases, he said that
he was perfectly solvent, and
was ready and willing to face any
one who had charged him with
wrong in the matter of collections,
etc. Instantly, Mr.. A. p. Wood of
Chauncey, Ca, arose and asked him to
pay him money which he had collected
from the Anderson Lumber Company.
MIR. Wood said that there were numbers
of people in his section who had never
gotten their money since it was collected.
Judge Hines stated that settlements with
some had not been made because he did
not know their postofice address, but
that he remembered having in Atlanta
the receipt for Woods part. This was
the only interruption of the speech, and it
caused a good sensation, Wood being a
stranger here.

ELECTION CAUSES TROUBLE.
Complications Following the Choice
of a First Battalion Major.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 27.-Gov. Northen
and Adjt Gen. Kell have got in each
others way over the election Of a major
for the First battalion of cavalry, aud in
cidentally there is a row Oh in the bat
TALON that amounts to a small-sized re-
bellion on the same account.
When the returns of the election for
major of the First battalion came in
few days ago it was found by the adiu-
taut general that the ballots of the Rich
mOud Hussars of Augusta had not been
cast in conformity with the military
law of the state. Under the
law such elections must be pre-
sided over by two or more military
officers, or two or more justices of the
peace, with one or more freehOlderS.
The Augusta election was held by one
officer and one freeholder. The adjutant
general laid the case before the governor,
and finally Gov. NOrthen instructed the
adiutant general not TO declare the result
/ or issue any commission, pending further
conference on the case. The candidates
for the Office of major were Capt. Miller
of the Governors Horse Guard, and Capt.
Barnard of the Troup Hassars. The face
of the returns gave the former seven.
the latter eight votes. Gen. Kell it ap-
pears held a conference with Judge Adj
yocate General Austin, and then pro-
| ceeded under his advice to declare Capt.
Miller elected by order of the COVER
nor" the votes of the Augusta command
having been thrown out.
In speaking of the matter to-day Gov.
Northen said the first he knew of Gen.
Kell's action was when he saw it in the
papers
On top of this feature big kick from
the battalion followed. Lieut.. Ridley
of the Troup Hussars at once sent
in his resignation, accompanying it
with a very tart letter to the
adiutant general. Lieut. Thornton of the
same company took different tack and
applied to Gov. NOrthen for an explana-
ton. This brought out the whole story
of Gen. Kell's failure TO obey the govern
or's order and the governor has written a
letter to Lieut. Thornton stating these
! facts, that he knew nothing about Gen
Kell's declaring the election of Capt. Mil
| Ter 'by order of the governor.
Other information shows a very lively
state of affairs in the battalion It is
said all the officers who voted for Capt
Barnard threaten to follow Lieut.. Ridley
Capt Miller to-day refused to accept the
election and another election has been
ordered. This may straighten out the
| tangle. Adjt. Gen. Kell says he thought
the governor would approve his action
but it seems that the governor didn't
! The case made a sensation at the capital.

While the representative Of the
western distributors are all nembers Of
the Disabling and Cattl Feeding Com
pany, the meeting had nc Oft:ial cOnnec-
ton with what is pOpJarlE known as
the whisky trust" he many false
reports and rumors circulated Of
late have caused a feeling among
the trade that tire must be
unity of feeling and univ of action to
protect their common interests, and
whether or not the whisl trust is re-or-
gained there are certal notifications
which must be made to stisfy the trade.
1t IS an open secret that here are many
important factors within the trust who
dlsapproye of many acts t the so-called
trust, but who are pOwerss to effect re
forms under the present Ondition of af-
fairs.
The rebate voucher SVEN which has
been adhered to by the 'ust up to the
present time has been the cause of much
contention among custOmcs, not so much
on account of the cents rebate as the
length of time the reba3 is withheld;
customers who approve selling on a
Sl.33 basis, at which pric they have a
clear profit of seven clts per gallon,
think that the present tin, six months,
is entirely to long too leav their money in
the hands of the compay, and ask
shortening of time if notI reduction in
rebate. Others believe hat the rebate
should be reduced TO twocents per gal
lon, and the time of paynnt contracted
to ninety days, if not les Others de-
mand that no rebate bexacted by the
company but that the goos be sold flat at
Sl.26 per gallon.
The clamoring of the trde make it i'm
perative that some mobilization be made
by the company, and it is hown that the
western distributors nav, taken action
looking toward redress Of grievances,
but no official action can b taken before
the matter is brought directly before the
trustees or submitted to stockholders
meeting.

These amendments are not regarded
here as party measures at all, and the

or whether the committee has presumed
to dictate TO the people how they must

THE STORY Of MANNERS

A new course Of study has been in
,tnpduced In the Curriculum of the FL
mire Female college, being a system
attic study of manners. The council OF
etiquette, formed in the college, made
up of representatives. from all THE coll
lege classes and to this council dspu-
ted poirts ane submitted. 1T looks UP
authorities. considers weight of evil
dence pro. and con, and finally decides
according TO the best standards. Once
every fortnight a member of the coun-
Gil presents an original paper to be read
in the college chapel ito the rest of the
students. Some of the subjects thus
presented have been: "Manrers in
Public Places" Letters and Letter
Writing "ChaperoneS and Their
Uses" and others.
The broad question of manners can
not be too much studied or too well I'M
dsfrstood. When 1T is brought down to
finical questions of etiquette which can
never be decided for all time in all
places. too much considering of them
is both tiresome and harmful. The
kind thing is usually the right thing.

NEW YORK MAY INITIATE.

For three years a Bellamy Cooking
and Eating club has existed in a Kan
sas town, proving so successful that
the families in an uptown fat house
are talking of trying the same plan
here. The Kansas club is under the
management of women. A large resi-
dence was rented for the headquarters,
ard therein were installed matron,
cooks and walters.
Not less than twenty families have
been i'm the club and ofentimes there
have been more. Three ladies consti-
tute an executive committee with full
power to purchase material, levy as
sessments. hire servants, hear griev-
ances. etc. This committee meets every
Saturday afternoon lays out the work
for the coming week, estimates the ex-
penses and levies the assessment on
the members, which must be paid
promptly Monday morning.
The marketing is then done, and
everything is paid for the week. The
dining rooms are set with a. number
of tables. so that each family has all
the privacy of home life. The expense
has proved to be moderate and the
service satisfactory. Allowances are
made for absence if notice is given
and guests are charged at a pro rata
of the expense per member for the
week.
The girls at the house like their
work as 1t is systematized.
