ENGLISH LORDS SCARED,
Prospect of a Little Scrap With
France.
THE'QUEENs PRIVATE WIRES KEPT
HOT.
Serious Hitch In Diplomatic Rela-
ito MS in Egypt,sWest and Cen
trail Africa.

New YORK, October S.-A dis
patch from London says: ENG.
land is likely to be in the throes
of a pretty bad war scare within
the next few days, unless I'M
doubted facts prove unexpectedly
deceptive. The facts are that the
ministers have decided that there
was no occasion for them to meet
at the council board before the
end of the first week in November,
when it is customary to hold a
cabinet council and decide what
an nouncements OF policy shall be
made at the Lord Mayors BAN
9uet. Lo I'd Kimberly foreign sec.
rotary has been in London recent
ly since then and has been much
worried with work, but the other
ministers have been scattered all
over England and the continent of
Europe on long desired holiday.
Sir William Harcourt came to
London yesterday morning and
found everything quiet and de-
parted on the IL o'clock express
enroute for Milan, where he in
tended to spend few weeks doc.
toring. Within three hours after
his departure urgent dispatches
reached the foreign Office and
were telegraphed on to Lord Kim
berry. Later in the afternoon
Lord Kimberly telegraphed to the
Downing officials to convene an
emergency Cabinet Council.
Strange TO say, the addresses of
several ministers who were a bsent
from town were unknown in
Downing street. The result was
that cabs were soon tearing away
TO their London houses to obtain
the necessary infor nation. This
having been obtained kilograms in
cipher, summoning the council
were sent to all the absentees.
Harcourt and Campbell, Banner
man, minister of war, received
their summon in Paris and will
return Immediately. Tonight long
dispatches passed over the Queens
private wire between London and
Balmoral. They were still being
handled at midnight.
There is no reasonable doubt
that another and very serious
hitch has occurred in the diplo-
matte negotiations with France
relative to Egypt and West and
Central Africa. Possibly fresh trou-
BILE also has arisen in connection
with Madagascar. The current talk
in official circles tonight is of sem
sational developments in the
French-Russian policy in the far
east but this appears to be conjec-
tural rather than solidly based. 1t
is most proba BILE that France, en-
,couraged by the recent apparent
weakness of the British foreign Of
flee, has suddenly sprung de-
mand upon the government which
has staggered even Kimberly and
which, if persisted in will bring
about a crisis which may result in
war, because Roseberry and his
colleagues have almost reached
the limit of their complalsance to-
ward France.

GEORGIA ELECTION.

The Usual Majorities Expected.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3.--Georgia
votes today, and the result is hard
ly in doubt, as the Populist oppo.
sition has not developed into form
liable proportions. Georgia votes
today for governor, secretary of
state, comptroller general, treas
urer, attorney general, and COM
missioner of agriculture. For all
of these offices, with the exception
Of governor, the incumbents were
renominated by the Democrats.
For governor William J. Atkinson
was named. He is a young man,
barely forty, and comes from the
country. He has represented Cow
eta county in the state legislature
for several terms, and was the
speaker Of the last house. He was
chairman of the state Democratic
committee in the campaign Of
1892, when the state went Demo-
cratic by 10000 majority.
But the contest Of the greatest
interest is that for the legislature.
The House and Senate will be
called upon to name Senator
Walsh's successor, and he today
stands, perhaps, the best show of
succeeding himself. But it is re-
ported that Speaker Crisp may not
decline the honor second time.
Major A. O. Bacon, one Of the
ablest of all the senatorial aspi-
rants, has been prominent in state
politics for many years. He is of
middle age, a lawyer of high abili-
ty, and a shrewd manipulation of
men. He has been speaker of the
House, and three times defeated
candidate for governor, having
once been eliminated from the
field by Alexander Stephens,
once beaten by McDanial be-
fore the convention, and again de-
feated by Gen. J. r. Gordon, after
one of the fiercest state campaigns
ever seen anywhere. After this
last defeat he retired from politics,
10 practice as a railroad corporation
attorney. Two years ago he reap
peared in the state legislature and
attracted attention by introducing
a series of bills hostile to the rail-
roads. At the last session of the
general assembly he launched his
senatorial candidacy, with set Of
free silver resolutions which were
adopted by that body.
F. Du Bignon represents section
and a sentiment different from the
other aspirants. He comes from
Savannah, in the extreme south
eastern corner OF the state. He is
member of distinguished and
aristocratic family, and is himself
corporation lawyer Of high rank.
He has been sOliCitor-general, a
member of the House and presi-
dent of the State Senate, though he
is out of office at present. He was a
delegate to the convention which
nominated Cleveland for second
term, and, as a member of the
committee on resolutions, helped
Henry Watterson frame the tariff
plank adopted there. He was also
a delegate to the last convention,
and favored the nomination OF
Cleveland.

While stealing water melons has al

alas. The sad news reached our ears
that some of our noble boys became SO
thoughtless as to visit the patch of our
invalid neighbor, Martin Denham, and
at the hours of midnight, pulled the
pickets off their garden i'll which Mrs.
Denham had labored to raise melons
during her husbands confinement with
rheumatism, and while the ever watch

WELLMAN CITY.
BY JIM.

The officers and patrons of the Sun
day SCHOOL, here decided to give the
children picnic in the woods and sent
out an invitation to all the people in
the surrounding country to meet them
at the end of the railroad near j. f.
Greer's place, on Aug. 2nd with their
baskets and enjoy social day togeth-
er. Accordingly tables, seats, and a
stage were built in the grove near a
we'll of splendid water and everything
made ready for the occasion. When
the excursion arrived at 10 o'clock
with about 300 people and provisions
enough to feed hundred more, there
had already gathered from the sur
rounding country equally as many
more with baskets filled to the brim.
Baskets were deposited with Mr.. Hous-
ton Lawrence (who had control of the
basket Department., and the people lis
tened attentively while the program
was being carried out, which was
somewhat as follows: When the eX-
cursion arrived, the Sunday School
children formed line of march, head
ed by Supt. Webb, who carried a large
banner beautifully decorated and in
scribed on one side, "WELLMAN Sun
DAY SCHOOL," and on the other, 'IN GOD
WE TRUST" Miss Mamie Corners, the
beautiful little Queen, carried min
iature U. S. flag supported by beauti-
fully decorated staff. The march was
taken up to the stage, where, after
prayer by Supt. Webb, many beautiful
pieces were rendered by the children,
which reflected great credit on their
trainer, Miss Lou Mason, teacher of
the public school, and that noble Sun
day School worker, Mrs. Helen Scutt.
Space forbids us mentioning all, but
those who especially distinguished
themselves by recitations, were Misses
Olivia McGraw, Annie Drummons, Bes-
sic Osteen, Stella Carlysle, Bette Nc,
Graw, Harriet Lambright, Maggie Ry-
ais and Lilly Ryals; Messrs. Ike Thomp-
son, Howard Ballard and Willie Stokes.
Several fine pieces of music we're also
rendered by the little folks, which were
also credit to their teachers.
An address was then delivered by
Prof. j. w. Garner on the subject of
education.
While preparations were being made
| for dinner free lemonade was served
by Mr.. j. L. Scott. Dinner was an
nounced and this crowd of six or sew

hearts content and had enough left to
feed two hundred more.

in his power to make the occasion one
of social enjoyment, had swing put
