 duced during the day was one by John J. McMahon, providing that no divorces shall be granted in this state, but di- vorces granted in other states shall be recognized.

The Peary expedition party experienced much hardship last winter, but undaunted started northward in April in an attempt to make new rec ord.

Arrest of Blackmailer in Mississippi-His Peculias Mathod

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 21.-T. c. Bell, medium seized man, with sandy hair, blue cross eyes and hook-nosed, was ar rested in the Mountain Creek neighbor- hood yesterday and jailed at Brandon for blackmailing the negroes of south Ran kin.
 It is said he has done a land office bus4 mess under the guise of a government detective, his plan being to extract S5 or $10 from negroes who had committed crimes of such little importance that the courts took no notice of them. He gave receipts for the money thus secured, signing his name T. c. Bell, United States detective. His operations became so bold and numerous that the negroes took to the woods to escape him, leaving their cotton wasting in the field. The landlords finally found out what he was doing and arrested him. as above stated
 Bells first appearance here was as in- former against score of the best citi- zens of Simpson county, whom he charged with making wildcat whisky, and led the deputy marshals forty-mile trip to arrest them.

Montgomery, Sept. 21.-(speciaD- There ought to be no room for misappre- hension as to the action of Secretary of State Jackson in notifying President Pet tus that Governor Oates had been absent from the state for twenty days On the twenty-fiist day of the governors ab- sence the secretary of state wrote and mailed letter to the president of the senate informing him, as the law requires he should do, of the absence of the gov ernor beyond the constitutional limit. The next day the governor returned and MT. Jackson then telegraphed Colonel Pettus this information, so as to save the latter the trouble of a trip to Montgom- cry. Of course, 1t is well understood that even if the president of the senate had been installed In the executive of- flee, Governor Oates would have resumed It's duties the instant he returned and without any process of law whatever It will be impossible to make any sensa- ton out of the incident.

Closed in a Blaze of Glory.

Atlanta, Sept 21.-Blue and gray day at the Cotton States and International exposition closed tonight in a blaze of glory with Pains pyrotechnic display. Thousands of veterans, both blue and gray, watched the gorgeous scenic pro- duction of the storming of WeiHai-Wei. The banks of the lake were lined with thousands of spectators, and the long arched bridge across the lagoon was black with people. The night was perfect and everything went off smoothly. In the midst of shower of bombs and rock cts the Japanese charged and manned the Chinese breastworks and cut down the Celestials mercilessly amidst the cheers of the veterans, who compared notes with this and their own experi- ences. After the fight was over there was magnificent display of fireworks with the usual figures, interspersed with showers of bombs and fire balloons The picture of President Collier was greeted with tumultnous cheering. The whole affair closed with proba ply the grandest discharge of fireworks ever seen In the south, after which the thousands of spec tators dispersed over the grounds to wit ness the electric scenic effects and take in the sights of the midway heights, which were alive with thousands of wis itorS 10 late hour

TRIAL OF THE FILIBUSTERS. The Evidence and Arguments Concluded
 Adiournment to Monday.

Wilmington, Del. Sept. 21.-There was no indication of a lessening of interest in the trial of the Cuban fl busters when court opened this morning. The court room was crowded and uncomfortably warm. Counsel waved palm fans and the prisoners used bright folding fans presented by considerate friends.
 District Attorney Vandegrft enumer- ated some points of the law upon wh ch he requested the court te- charge the jury. He then addressed the jury brleny reservng one hour of the two hours limit given to each side. His main point was the failure of the defense to explain what the accused were doing when they start ed on their mysterious journey.
 Senator Gray followed with number of citations of decisions in similar cases, all of which proved. he said, that the ac- cused had violated no statute. He quoted from Marcy, Seward and Fish, former secretaries of state, to prove the conteh- tion that it was no offense to show sym pathy for the struggling Cubans, ana ne mentioned the patriotic outburst of Hen ry Clay in congress for the struggling South American republics, and yet Clay violated no law. At times the senator grew quite eloquent on the question or patriotism. -
 Herbert w. Ward addressed the jury for the defense considering the evidence on it's merits. Senator Gray closed TOT the defense his line of argument being that no case had been proven aga nst any of the defendants. He concluded at 20.
 District Attorney Vandegrift then be- gan the closing argument to the jury. He made an admirable speech and at l:35 the court adjourned until Monday.

An Unexpected Denouement.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.--It will be re- membered that on August 22 Louis Ger vais shot his sweetheart, Eugenia Beth ancourt, badly wounded her father and knocked her young sister down with the revolver with which he had done the shooting. Gervais had played the de- voted lover for two years and had made every preparation to get married. The girl grew cold towards him and always delayed naming the day. Finally she told him she did not care for him and he became frantic and the shooting resulted.
 An unexpected denoument came about today by Judge Morel of the second city court quietly uniting the parties in mag riage. It is understood that the Bethan- court family strongly objected to the marriage, but the objection availed noth- ing. Gervais will be prosecuted for h's attempted murder of the three members of the family.

The State Department Officials Discredit the
 Mascotte Story.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The report from Madrid that the master and mate of the steamer Mascotte. plying between Key West and Havana. had been tried by a court martial in Cuba, convicted of the crime of carrying contrahand goods and sentenced to imprisonment is regarded at the state department as unworthy of attention. It Is now three days since this sentence is alleged to have been inn posed and not word touching the mat ter has been received from the United States consul-general. The department, therefore, discredits the alleged news. be- lievng that had there been any founda- tion for it Consul-General Williams would have been very prompt to ybIe the information instead of permitr rS- it to come from Madrid. The Mascotte is as well known on the southern coast as are the sound steamers plying between New York and Boston. and had the re- ported action of the Cuban military au- thorities taken place a protest would have been promptly sent to Washington.

 His only concern was that his party would be continued in supremacy in the state and union. Continuing he said:
 Fellow democrats, you have now, as in the past, a great duty to perform. Slander, vituperation and m srepresen- tation cannot and will not prevent you from doing that duty. As much as the democratic party has accomplished it's mission is not yet performed. We must continue that party in power, not only to hold the vantage which the people have gained from it's two years of power, but to continue its reform to cut down expenditures, to reduce extravaganees in every quarter and to maintain the right of the American people to self-gov- ernment: that this great structure may be handed down to our children unim- paired"
