The EVIL men do lives after them.
General Malone, when, by his one
single vote. he turned the U. s. Senate
over to the republicans, said he was a
democrat. Mr.. E. P. Buford, of Bruins,
wick county, on taking the chair at the
late conference of republicans and pop.
ulists at Petersburg, followed the Gen
erals example and declared himself q
democrat. From such democrats good
Lord deliver us /!

At the late so-called "honest cleo
ton" conference in Petersburg, MIR.
Brown Allen who, by the by, opposed
the election of the republican candi-
date for Congress in his district last
fall, said that neither of the two people
who signed the invitations to the con-
ference, General Malone and Mr.. Hob
son, represented the parties to which
they belonged" Well. if neither the
republicans nor the populists were rep
resented at the conference, certainly,
the democrats were not, so the few at
tendants must have represented them,
selves alone, simply that and nothing
more.

HIS WIRES BLooMERs IN COURT
George Everson, young married
man, living with his wife at Haw:
thorne, Pa, wants an injunction to pre-
vent his wife from wearing boomers.
He is an enthusiastic bicycler, and
some time ago taught his wife how to
ride. She complained, however, that
there was little enjoyment riding with
heavy skirts, and few days ago she
came out in bright red bloomers.
Her husband argued with her and
tried in vain to persuade her to give
them up. She was obstinate, however,
and finally the husband consulted
Lawyer Randall as to the possibilities
of getting an injunction from the court
to restrain bis wife from wearing
boomers. When told he could hardly
get court to act in such case, he
went home sadly to renew his argu-
ments with his wife.

AS ANTICIPATED, General Mahore's
free vote and fair count" conference
at Petersburg was complete fizzle.
Most of the few people who at
tended it were those who had been de-
feated for Office and who. therefore, had
personal grievances, and, in view OF the
men who formulated it, the honest"
election bill they prepared for sub.
mission to democratic legislature is
positively ridiculous.

AS RAILROAD companies are not SEN
timental corporations and are conducted
for the sole benefit of the bondholders,
there need be no fear of the removal OF
the general offices of the Southern Rail-
way from Washington to Atlanta. The
company did move its offices to Atlanta
once, and, as the GAZETTE has hereto
fore stated, the experience of that move
was not at all calculated to induce an
other one.

battle between Marietta and Atlanta

forces were posse of white men, on
ole side, searching for negro rapist,
and on the other side, Eve or six negroes.
Friends and relatives of the woman
were on foot and armed with Winches-
ter rifles and shotguns, while the ne
groes were in wagons and on mules,
all fully armed.
Saturday night last Jesse Hardeman,
negro farmland, twenty-five years
of age, attempted to assault in most
brutal manner the wife of ]. R. Robin
son, who lives two miles from Marietta.
The cries of the woman brought her
husband to the house, but before she
could acquaint him of the Negroes
purpose he had escaped.
a posse was Immediately organized
and search of the surrounding coun-
try for Hardeman began. About twenty
men were out searching for him that
night, when they met party ofnegroes
on the road. Suddenly one of the ne
groes arose in the wagon, and leveling q
double barreled shotgun at the ap-
preaching party, fired both barrels.
Charles Doughty received ninety buck
shot in his left arm. The white men
returned the fire until some hundred
shots had been exchanged. A mule CD
which one of the negroes was mounted
fell, but the rider and his companions
fed. Next morning hat worn by one
of the negroes was discovered satuated
with blood. None of the negroes has
yet been found, although Sheriff Daven-

very large posse, and has been
securing the surrounding country for
the negroes. A great uprising of the
negroes is expected.

THE DAVIS MoNUMENT.-Col. Will
liam A. Smoot, of this city, Grand Cons
mander of the Confederate Veterans, of
Virginia, has sent circular letter to be
read before all the camps calling atten-
ton to the action of the Grand Camp

indeed, of every southern sympathizer,
to the fact that the cornerstone of this
monument will be laid next spring, and
now is the time for action, if we hope
to succeed in rearing shaft to that
true patriot who, as martyred sacri-
fee for the acts and deeds of the whole
southern people, suffered so much. The
next annual meeting of the United Con-
federate Veteran Association will be
held in the city of Richmond, Va, next
May, and while the expense and labor
of entertaining that Association will be
borne by two of our subordinate camps
r. E. Lee Camp, No. /, and George
E. Picket Camp-and the citizens of
Richmond, generally, 1 would suggest
that this Grand Camp and all of its
subordinate camps cooperate and as
sist in every way practicable, and par
ticularly that every camp will have as
full a representation present as possible
at the ceremonies on the occasion. In
conclusion, ! take pleasure in announc-
ing that we have had several inquiries
since the adjournment of the Grand
Bamp, from new camps organizing in
different sections of the State, showing
that the good work is going steadily
on"

LONDON, April 24.-In the election for

middle division of Norfolk, Mr.. R. I.
Guerdon. liberal unionist, who at the
last election unsuccessfully contested
this seat against Dir. c. Higgins, @ c.,
home ruler, was elected by a vote of

who polled 1904 votes.
The platform upon which Guerdon
won may be outlined in the following
statement which he made recently: In
stead of trying to destroy constitutions. or
pull down churches l would endeavor by
useful social reforms, such as providing
better houses for the working classes.
finding them what land they may require
at fair price and by making some pro-
vision for their old age, to restore to all
classes of the community contentment
and prosperity"
MIR. Wilson the defeated candidate an
nounced that if elected he would do all
he could to put an end to the brewers
monopoly and to bring down the price of

CHASE INVESTIGATION.
Today's Testimony in the Penitentiary
Case.


Case.
This mornings session of the Chase
investigation began at nine o'clock, and
Mr.. Chase was on the stand increasingly
till noon.
Two points only were covered. Mr..
Chase told about his quarrel with Mr..
Mcdonald and also how he made money
for the state on the pig deal.
Mr. Mcdonald had been on the board
of pardons and was a lawyer against
Chase in the investig alton inaugurated
by Mine Superintendent Bum. Mr..
Chase said Mcdonald came into his room
at the penitentiary and he playfully
called him - old liar. AIR Nc
Donald took it in earnest and replied
heatedly. Mr.. Chase says Mcdonald
made the attack and he hit him four or
five times before they were separ ated.
In regard TO the pig deal, Mr.. Chase
said he had thought it advisable to buy
some pigs to feed on the leavings of the
penitentiary table, and that when they
were fat he would have a hog killing
time and feed the prisoners on fresh
pork. He finally concluded, however,
that that would be too much of sna .
for the prisoners and they might eat too
much, and he sold the hogs, making a
profit for the state of something like
$1,000.
Just before closing the chief examina-
ton, at the request of Mr.. Waters. Mr..
Chase said that during his first year the
penite ntiary paid its expenses and a
profit of over $4,000, while under Mr.
Cases last year there was a deficiency
of over $4,000.
Mr.. Henderson for the prosecution took
| Mr.. Chase for examination half an hour
before dinner and simply made him tell
again the story of how he met Miss Will
Jams and how she came to be made as
| sistant matrOn.
The examination will be continued this
| afternoon and concluded before evening
Some fun was expected this afternoon il
view of the fact that Mr. Henderson, who
is conducting the cross examination, anC
Mr.. Chase, who is being examined, are
I'ancient and bitter enemies.
Two weeks will be allowed the steno
grapher to make up his report and the
arguments will not be made until tina
| time.
