ATLANTA |S VERY INDIGNANT At the Statements in the New
 York Herald.
  THE GfssaGE OF ExToRTION is Dehe $ tke Executive Committee in a
 Series of Resolutions. PLE e OF HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
6 OF HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
And the Rates Are Very Reasonable-Hun- dreds of Rooms in the Best Part of the City to Be
 Had.

Atlanta, Oct. 1.-Statements in the New York Herald of September 2S to the effect that accommodations in Atlanta are in- adequate and that exorbitant charges are being made to visitors have been read with surprise and indignation by the peo- pie of this city. The statements are so absurd and extravagantly false that they would attract no attention but for the fact that they are made in a reputable jour nal with the apparent sanction of its management. This alone has induced the exposition people to send out an absolute denial.
 At its meeting this afternoon the exec utive committee of the exposition unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas, The New York Herald has published ostensibly from an Atlanta correspondent, an article in which gross misrepresentations of the situation in this city are made; therefore be it
 Resolved, That the following statement of facts be given to the public as true and authentic:
 It is stated in the Herald that the ho- tels are not completed, whereas they are all done, newly and comfortably fur nished and Ire in successful operation. It is stated in the Herald that the rate
  day for three people, whereas the rate at said hotels is only $2 to $5 per day, and the Herald's correspondent was &C., commodated at $3 a day.
 It is stated in the Herald that people of moderate means can only obtain accom- modations on Decatur street, "the Bow cry of Atlanta" whereas hundreds of rooms in private houses in the best parts of the city can be had at 75 cents to $1 per day, and some of these rooms are on Peachtree street.
 It is stated in the Herald that man was charged 75 cents for shave, where- as 1t Is impossible to find a barber shop in Atlanta where the charge exceeds 15 cents.
 It is stated in the Herald that the rail- road facilities are inadequate, whereas It would be hard to cite a similar occasion where the public was better or more speedily served.
 The books of our public comfort depart ment show that assignments to excel lent hotels are being made daily at the following rates: American plan, $1.50 to $5 per day; European plan, 75 cents to $5 per day This accommodates the most economical or the most fastidious

Those Cheap Norwegian seamen.

New Orleans, Oct. Hast nights dis patch from Washington in reference to the withdrawal of the Southern Pacific Railroad companys steamers between New Orleans and Bluefields, Nicaragua, was shown Traffic Manager Schriever of the Southern Pacific today He said that it was true they had discussed the busi- ness, as there was nothing in it. MT. Schriever declined to discuss the relative wages of the American sailor with that of the Norwegians, who have literally driven all commerce from the fruit carry ing stations in the Spanish Americas. The ratio of wages is as 8 or $4 paid the American sailors to $1 paid to the Nor wegians. Officers and other members of the crews wages are in proportion, the masters of the Norwegian steamers re- ceiving only about $50 per month. There is no remedy for this state of affairs. as cheap 'freights are demanded and must not be handicapped by expensive condi-

days of election during their attendance at the polls and going to and returning therefrom.
 Sec. 15. No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere or prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage.
 Tonight the convention dived into the dispensary problem, taking up the mo- tion to indefinitely postpone the Clayton substitute, which provides for the abso- lute incorporation of the system into the constitution. A battle royal resulted, the advocates of the perpetuation of the sys- tenn almost overriding the counsel earn eStly given by Senator Tillman as to the effect of a possible decision from the United States supreme court that the state could not do liquor business.
 After an all night fight, during which amendment after amendment and sub stitute after substitute were voted down amid stormy votes the section was amend7 ed by Senator Tillman to his way of thinking. and the section was adopted at II o'clock in this shape, the parlia- mentary clncher going on:
 Sec. IA. In the exercises of the police power the general ass embly shall haN . the right to prohibit the manufacture and sale of retail or alcoholic liquors or beverages within the state. The general assembly may license persons or corpo- rations to manufacture and sell and re- tail alcoholic liquors or beverages within the state under such rules and reStrlc- tions as is deemed proper; or the general assembly may prohibit the manufacture and sale and retail of alcoholic liquors and beverages within the state; may au- thorize and empower state and county and municipal officers, all or either, un- der the authority and in the name of the state to buy in any market and retail within the state liquors and beverages in such packages and quantities under such rules and regulations as is deemed exr e. dfent; provided that no license shall be granted to sell alcoholic beverages in less quantities than one-half pints. or to sell them between sunrise and sundown, or to sell them to be drunk on the prem ses 1; and provided, further, that the general assembly shall not delegate the power to issue licenses to sell the same to any mu- nicipal corporation.
 On an amendment to prevent the state from charging a profit the vote stood yeas 45. nays S4. On an amendment to strike out all reference to the dispensary system only twenty-four voted for the proposition
 The discussion of the suffrage article will not take place for some days.

MISS WlNSLOW'S TRIBUTE.
She Waxes Eloquent Over the Cotton States
 and International Exposition.

dnu lIlttIHdtlUldl CNpOSluOil'
 Atlanta, Oct. Miss Helen N. Wins low of Boston, president of the Womans Association of Press Clubs of New Eng land and one of the exposition commits sioners from Massachusetts, issues the following statement to the press:
 "The Cotton States and International exposition marks an epoch in the history of this country. Only the occasional vis- itor or the northern business man with in- terests down this way has any conception of what the new south really is. Booker Washington's statement that the south ern people are the truest friends of the negro sent shock of surprise through out the north and west. But here is the great exposition Showing the wonderful development, not only of the race but of the spirit of charity and helpfulness on che part of the highest class of the south ern people to back him up. It has been left to the south to give the negroes the assistance and encouragement that comes from recognizing the progress of the race in this negro building, just as it has been left to the Atlanta Constitu- tion to establish the first regular depart ment in newspaper devoted to the in terests of the colored people. These form the most interesting social features of the exposition. The. present exposition is not of course, so large as the Worlds fair, but it is better arranged as to detail, and everything is so classified as to rem. der an intelligent study of 1t as upon the whole both interesting and profitable The grounds are Unsurpassed, the build ings are picturesque, the exhibits varied and exhaustive, both foreign and domes- tic, while as for the people, their gener- ous hospitality and cordiality cannot be described, and will long. remain one of the bonds that will rivet together the north and the south.
 Tt is marvellous thing that Atlanta has accomplished in the face of hard times, financial depression and lack of public confidence, but she has accomplished it. and now the general verdict is, Behold the miracle the south hath wrought" ,"

DISCHARGED THE CLOTH.
Very Grave Charges Against Priest of St.
 JoseDh Mo.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 1.-Upon informa- tion received from Chicago at ? o'clock this morning Rev. Dominick Wagner pastor of St. Marys Catholic church, was arrested upon the charge of having ab- ducted Maud Steidel 16 years old, the daughter of a widow and one of his par ishoners. The telegram which caused the arrest of the reverend father came from Alex Podrant, hotel keeper of Holton. Ks Father Wagner spent the early morn- ing hours in jail. Owing to the concIu- siveness of the evidence against him and the almost certainty that he would flee if given the opportunity, it is not thought that he will be admitted to ball. The priests of St. Joseph, who had previously declared their belief In the innocence of Father Wagner, have telegra phed to Bishop Bourke, now in New York, urging him to take immediate action in banish- ing Wagner from the church, that the public, which has been so strongly in famed for the last week. may see that his immortality and crime are not sanctioned or even extenuated by the church author ity. Only last Saturday night Wagner issued newspaper card denying any re- sponsibiity or knowledge of the disap- pearance of Maud Steidel, and he publicly and dramatically swore that this state ment was true. Wagner was ordained in Kansas City in 1888 and took charge of church in this city. He is 33 years old and native of Ottowa, Ill.
 The Chicago police and Alex Podrant uncle of Maud Steidel, no longer have any doubt as to the guilt of Father Wagner. The girl herself admitted that improper relations existed between herself and the priest, and that 1t was all arranged for her to come here and live with him in furnished rooms, which were to -nave been fitted up with the priests own household effects. shipped here for that purpose. All this she told in police court this morning while on the stand in the case of Adolph Elandt. Wagner's broth er-in-law, who was charged on the docket with abduction. Elandt claims to have been the priests dupe. He was held in $4000 bali to appear and the case was set for October II. It will probably not come off here, however, as Eandt promised to go to St. Joseph, Mo, this afternoon with the girls uncle and appear against the priest An assurance was given him that he would be permitted to turn states ev- idence and thus save himself before he promised to go The following telegram, found in Eiandt's possession, is believed to come after the girl:
 "St. Joseph, Sept. 20.-Come at once and settle or lose money and claim.
 "J. D. SPIRIT, Attorney"
 The police believe that "Sprit'' is one of Wagner's aliases. He is known to have at least one other.

Prosperity in the Cotton Belt.

Cotton is selling here on the streets at S1A cents and buyers are plentiful. A prominent farmer said yesterday he had just sold fifty-four bales at that price and they brought him just the amount that 100 bales did the same day last year. He says his crop is about 40 per cent off but will bring just about the amount of cash as it did last year. He says he used less fertilizer and reduced his acre. age somewhat and consequently made his cotton for much less. He also saved the difference in the cost of ginning, pick ing, etc, of the surplus. He says he will have a good deal more money to rattle fa

sULLIVAN's RED LEGS.
They Win a Hard Fought Game
From the Missionaries.

from the missionaries.
Sullivan's band of Red Legs
from the Trinity river are indebted
to Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. "Smith" for
courtesies extended. They may al
so pass a resolution of thanks to
the local management for keeping
the bushes nice and high, so that
all Teddie's boys had to do was to
hit the ball into the bushes and
run home, where Teddie received
them with open arms and wept
over his braves for joy,
AS soon as the local team will be
able to play nine innings without
going to pieces they will win two
out OF every three games they play.
The boys are all hitters from the
heart and they can go in and bat
out victory with any team il they
can only be cured of the habit Of
error-making.
In yesterdays game one "Mr
Smith" was put in to cover third
and Abbott was stationed at short.
1t was in the sixth inning that this
same "Mr. Smith" showed up
so splendidly. There were two
balls hit to him and two thrown
and all but one got away from him
The visitors made five runs this
inning, not one Of which were
earned.
The score was to up to the
visitors seventh, and this inning
they made four runs, the score be-
ing II to for Dallas. In the eig nth
Ruckel put the ball over the fence
with a man on the bases and be-
fore the inning closed the locals
scored two more hard-earned runs
Dallas only made one run in her
eighth and in our last inning we
scored seven runs, tieing the score
and going Dallas two better by /;
to Is.
But here's where the story ends
and the ending is indeed sad one
The visitors had another inning
just think Of it.
With one gone, Bastian stepped
on the plate and let the ball hi
him, and the umpire didn't hav,
enough sense to call him out
Fabian put the ball over the fenc,
and the score was a tie. Ashen
back made hit and was brough
in on BOyle's hit over the fence
and all was over. Score-l6 to |;
Other Texas-SOuthern leagu
scores are: Fort Worth Is, Austi
