A VICTIM OF JEALOUSY.
An Unfortunate Sensation Involving
Brilliant but Imprudent Young

IL Brilliant but Imprudent Young
Woman.
Special to the Atlanta journal.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-The
sensation of the hour at the capitol is
the shooting Of Miss Viva Castle,
daughter of eXCongressman Castle, of
Minnesota, and niece of John r. Eel
lows, OF New York, in negro barber
shop in Minneapolis. The shooting
was done by the Jealous black wife of
the black proprietor of the establish
mcnt. The New York morning papers
tell>the story about as follows:
Miss Castle had, early in the day,
gone to the postal cafe, in Minneapo-
lis, with drummer, whose name is un-
known, for breakfast. Some hours
| afterwards she left. a rain came up
and she returned for shelter. She told
the proprietor she had a headache and
asked if she could not go up stairs to
the barber shop to have her hair dress.
ed.
This she did, and in about thirty
minutes the barber returned, telling
Blake, the negro proprietor, that Miss
Castle was asleep in the chair. Blake
went up to her, and his wife, thirty
minutes later, followed. She saw her
husband loaning over the girl, and
whipping out IL revolver, she shot her.

Miss Castle is we'll known in Wash
ington and in Atlanta. While here at
the capital she was known as sensa-
tional and extremely imprudent. She
was tho leader of a coterie of young
society girls who cut wide swath and
caused the older and more sedate to
frown down on them. One of her es-
capades was to accept the dare of q
young man to go with him to the Thea
tire Comique, rather disreputable
variety theatre Sho was always q
tirst-nighter at the big theatres, and
had a box every day at the races. She
was regular patron of Harvey's and
John Chamberlains without the pres
cnce OF o chaperone, and once created
excitement by fainting at the capitol.
1t was also well known that her weak
lungs caused her much pain, and that
she sometimes drank, and it is this
fault it is believed, which brought on
| the horrible Minneapolis tragedy.
Notwithstanding these things she was
reckless both in action and talk, but
nothing has ever happened to show
that the poor girl was radical wrong
Miss Castle spent several winters at
the Salt Springs Hotel, near Atlanta
and is we'll known by scores of people
in the Gate City. She went there or

"A PROTEST AGAINST DELAY.
Business Men i'm New York Urge Con-
grcss to Pass the Tariff Bill.

NEW YORK, May "a mass meet
ing was held in Cooper Union tonight
to protest against the dilatoriness of
the Senate in passing upon the Wilson
bill. All was not harmony at the meet
ing, and the income tax question was
what marked the dividing of the ways.
The storm broke when Frederick II.
Coudert took issue with james G.. Car
ter, and roundly denounced the income
tax measure as bad, dishonest and un-
democratic. Onc-half of the large
crowd Missed and interrupted this eX-
preston of opinion; the others chcered
and applaudcd and hurled back the
cpithets applied to Mr.. Coudcrt by his
opponents from tho body of the hall.
An old man jumped up, shook his
fist at Mr.. Coudert on the platform,
and shouted: 1--WE were paying the
taxes while you were robbing us" At
this point there was tumult a chorus
Of put him out" burst forth and
every one jumped up. Half dozen
policemen rushed no and seized the
the hall. Confusion roigncd for some
minutes. Finally Mr.. Coudcrt put
every one in good humor by saying
that rs bad as the income tax was, he
was willing to swallow it for the sake
of the tariff reduction.
The meeting had been called by rep
rescntatives Of fortytwo business houses
OF the city. EX-secrctary of the Treas
ury, Charles S. Fairchild, called the
meeting to order and denounced the
Senators responsible for the delay of
action on the tariff bill. He thought
the income tax an unwise measure. but
there were many things worse than it,
one of which was TO have no income
at all, which was what the public de-
lay would lead to.
James {. Carter delivered the prin-
cipal speech of the evening. He de-
| fcnded the income tax as the most just
| and equitable form of taxation. There
were manifestations of approval and
disapproval when he said that, a fore
boding OF the tumult that broke forth
| later when Mr.. Coudcrt took the oppo
site stand to Mr.. Carter. Mr.. Carter
also denounced Senators Hill aud Muir.
| ply for their attitude toward the Will
son bill. This seemed to please the
large audience hugely. Resolutions in
| substance as follows were passed:
| That we should prefer Il more con
slstent and courageous measure of tar
III reform than is now pending, but We
urge that it be passed to Il final vote st
that we may be relieved from the cx
tortions and expressions OF the Mckin
ley tariff. That while we arc opposed
tho income tax provision we are NOR,
opposed to the existing system of taril
taxation, which casts on the working
classes nine-tenths OF the burden of tax
alton and eXtprts from them an enol
nous tribute for the benefit Of few.
THAT we desire the income ta,
clauses to be stricken out. We deem
their retention no excuse for the vot,
of any Democrat against the bill as
whole and demand that every Demo
cratic Senator and Representative vot,
for the repeal of the Mckinley laws.
THAT the defeat of the bill by Dem
ocratic votes would be Il disaster to th,
nation and an act of treason to til,
Democratic party"

THE LOTTERY AND THE CHURCH
Oncral ions OF A nj 4 4 81 LII III inN I.n1 1vs

Effort to Exempt Church Fairs from
Operations OF fAnti-Gambling Laws.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The Senate
bill for the suppression OF lottery
traffic through national and Interstate
commerce and the postal service was,
on motion OF Senator Hoar, taken from
the calendar for consideration.
A protest was made by Vest against
the extension OF anti-gambling laws to
religious fairs, where articles are raf-
fled off for charitable purposes.
To question by Gray, whether
church members should be exempted
from the operation of the law, Vest re.
piled that il any Senator thought that
church and charity fair should be
placed on the same footing as the
Louisiana or the Havana lotteries, be
was welcome to his opinions but he
thought the question hardly worthy
tho Senator from Delaware.
German conceded with the views ex.
pressed by Vest, and suggested that
the bill should be laid over until to-
| it.
Hoar remarked that no office, he sup
| posed, would interfere with church on
charity affairs. Whether officers should
do 80 or not was question which
might be discussed. But no provision
| OF law could be made that would pro
hibit the .Offensc Of gambling, and al
the same time contain provision that
church members and amiable people
might gamble little for pious pur
poses. 1t was not practicable and would
be mischievous legislation.
German, in enforcement of his owr
and Vests views, said that there wa.
! not u charitable institution in Mary
land up to twenty years ago, that hat
not been the creation Of lottery sys
tens by law, and that in two-thirds O
the hospitals in Washington and the
institution of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, two-thirds of ethe revenue cam,
from those innocent frauds. There was
no demand or necessity, he said, fol
such legislation.
Hoar, in further defense and explana.
tion of the bill, spoke of Mr.. German.

Finally Harris broke in the discus
sion with IL remark that il the bill
could not be disposed of without fur

Barnwcll People expresses its cOnvic.
tions as follows about the cotton crop:
We have at last learned something
about cotton. 1t has taken q long time
and lot of reading, but we are finally
convinced that we know nothing about
the king, and that all Southern people
are in our class. Last fall and winter
we read the cotton reports in the lead
ing papers. the statements Of the diff
fcrcnt Southern Exchanges and State
and National Bureaus Of Agriculture
md the conclusion we reached was
that the price was as sure to rise as
the sparks to fly upward. And now
where are we at? Last week receipts
ii '93 cotton passed the seven million
bale mark and third of the year yet
TO come. The crop of '92 is out of
sight. We own up to total, dense and
hopeless ignorance and drop the sub
icct. Hereafter we shall spin no more
theories. weave no more airy pictures
OF better times to come from the cotton
fields. We rest our hopes hereafter on

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Mr. Vest,
member of the finance committee,
presented the amendments to the tariff
conference yesterday. They all relate
corporations providingfor tax of
per cent. on the net profits or income
(above the ordinary expensesl of all
banks, trusts, railroad insurance and
other companies-not to apply, how
ever, to the building and loan associa-
tions that make loans to their share
holders. The amendments were laid
on the table and ordered printed.
Another armistic has been agreed
upon in the tariff debate which will
carry the bill over till Tuesday.
AT 2 o'clock Mr.. Harris, i'm charge of
tho bill, moved an executive session,
and the remainder of the day will be
consumed behind closed doors. To-
morrow the executive session will con-
tinue and probably Monday.
Mr.. Harris said that there was busi-
ness which must be considered in ex-
ecutive session and this seemed to be
the best way. He had many confer
ences with the Democrats today, and
he told them that the Republicans
objected to any further discussion of
the bill until they knew what it was
and what the proposed amendments
were. He said as soon as the amend
ments were presented, the Republi-
cans would go ahead with the bill
and discuss and vote upon 1t In regular
order.
