SECRETARY SMITH AT JoxLsnoRo.
Consensus of Opinion Unanimous
That HoISe Made "a Hit.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1S.-Secretary HOke
Smith made his sound money speech TO
a big crowd at Jonesboro. Clayton county,
to-day
The speech was to have been made on
Wednesday last, and a big crowd gathered
TO hear it, but Secretary Smith could not
meet the engagement. The disappOint-
ment did not prevent the people Of Clay
ton from turning out to-day. however, but
If anything. il served TO whet their ap-
petites and increase t.le attendance.
The secretary. who was the guest OF
Col W. T. Kimsey. ex-membeT Of the
House, was met by a committee OF clu-
zens and given cordial reception.
The meeting was called to order by W.
/. Watterson, chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee, who was
made permanent chairman. Col KIM
sey introduced Mr.. Smith in an eloquent
manner. In response 10 an invitation by
the democrats of JOnesboro and Cl@yton
county" he said, we have among us
to-day one Of Georgia's most distinguished
sons: one who was called from priva,e
life TO fill one of the most responsible pc
sitions in the service of our government
He has saved the people millions of joi-
lars in the pension department, despite
the clamor Of dishonest pensioners and
their friends, and Georgia Is proud II
him and his record
Today's was the last speech Mr. Smith
will make IN Georgia before he returns
10 Washington, and was one of the best
Of the series he has delivered upon this
important question. His audience was
highly pleased, and there is no doubt Of
its good effect.
After the speech Chairman Watterson
said: THE speech was just what ] ex-
pected Mr.. Smiths address was able
and convincing and will be productive
OF much good. The cause Of sound money
has been steadily growing in this county,
and i believe within a few more months
all of the silver democrats will be with
Grover Cleveland, the greatest man this
country has produced in the century.
Our people were first inclined to go OF on
the silver craze. but they are thinking
better of it. and we advocates of sound
money who stand on the platform as eX-
planned by Secretary Smith expect to see
them all in line again. We are stronger
to-day by twice as many as We were
few months ago.

COL. FORNEY COURT MARTIALED,
Charged with Irregularities i'm the
Brooklyn Marine Barracks.

Brooklyn, N. Y, Sept. 13.-The court
martial of Col. Forney, of the United
States marine corps for alleged irregular
tiles in his administration of the marine
barracks at the Brooklyn navy yard, was
resumed at the Brooklyn navy yard at
1880 o'clock this morning. Up to to-day
not a single witness has been called, either
for the prosecution or the defense
Advocate Bartlett for the defense, has
so far confined himself to making objec-
tons of a technical legal nature to charges
against Col. Forney. He has been so sue
cessful in the attempt that two of the
original eleven specifications of the
charge have already been withdrawn. The
court, in view of this fact, decided to tele-
graph to headquarters at Washington
last night to ask If it should proceed with
the trial, with the nine remaining speci-
fications. Up TO IL o'clock this morning
no instructions had been received from
Washington.
The trial was commenced with the read
ing of the minutes of yesterdays proceed
ings and proceedings were then adjourned
until y O'Clock tomorrow.
Washington, Sept. 13-Secretary Herbert
has notified the court martial, now in ses-
sion at Brooklyn, n. Y, to proceed with
the case of Col. Forney until some defi-
mite conclusion is reached. This action
was taken in response to a telegram re-
ceived by the secretary late last night,
asking him if the court should continue
the trial in view of the fact that two
of the specifications of the charge against
Col. Forney had been Withdrawn

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
killed in the Woods While Hunting.
Thrown by a Mule.

Thrown by a Mule.
waresboro, Ga, Sept 1S.-w. c. Key, a
prominent farmer here, went out hunting
with his dog and gun yesterday, and did
not return His family started a search
early this morning and found him dead
in the woods.
Keys body was found in a pool of
blood. great hole was blown through
his skull by the charge from his own shot
gun The load had evidently entered the
neck just under the right jaw and passed
through the back of his head, tearing his
jaw and neck in terrible manner.
The body was leaning against log; the
gun lay across the log with the muzzle
pointing toward the body.
Keys dog had stood guard over the
body all night and was the only witness
of the tragedy. The dog was lying close
to the body when the discovery was
made, and he growled as the intruders
approached.
Key had gone alone on a coon hunt, and
II is evident that his dog had freed a
rabbit just before the accident occurred.
The hunter must have been resting against
q log with his gun lying across it; the
rabbit was driven in a hollow tree near
by and Key must have caught a small
branch or limb against the trigger Of his
gun in his attempt TO arise. The gun was
discharged and he fell back upon the log
and died
1t was first reported that Key had been
murdered by some unknown person. and
mystery seemed to surround his death
Drs. Spence and Little held an autopsy
and the coroner's jury pronounced it ac-
cidental shooting by his own hands. He
leaves a wife and one child
George Dean, a young white man in the
searching party that found Mr.. Kea this
morning, was thrown from his mule while
returning home. His skull was broken
and breastbone fractured. He is still I'M
conscious and the doctor says his recov-
cry is doubtful.

Atlanta Force Too Small for the Ex-
position Grounds.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 13.-After a confer
ence with the chief of police. the police
board has come to the conclusion that the
local detectives will not be equal to the
emergency when the exposition opens,
and in order to manage the army Of
crooks and sharpers who will be here at
the show, detachment of Pinkerton de-
tectives will be imported.
Chief Connolley to-day began negotia-
tons for the Pinkerton men. 1t is pro-
posed to get the detectives from several
of the large cities in order that thy may
be familiar with the crooks from all sec
tons. incidentally the Pinkerton men
may also try their hands at the Bass muir
der which still remains an aggravating
mystery to the police department.

Cuban Arms in ohicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Arms and am
munition for the Cuban patriots
are being collected in Chicago.
State Senator E. Il. Noonan is au-
thority for this statement. He says
the Cubans, through their fellow
countrymen and sympathizers
here, have already received the
promise of more than 100 winches-
ter rifles of A calibre to be deliv-
cred at any time, and that they are
only waiting for an opportunity to
ship them before they ask for the
delivery. 1t is said this is only a
beginning and that the patriots ex.
pect to secure in Chicago a large
amount of rifles and ammunition.
The effort is being made to secure
as many Of this kind and calibre Of
rifle as possible in order that the
Cuban army may be uniformly
armed, thus rendering the problem
Of ammunition and its distribution
an easy matter.

Irish Delegate Missing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-1he police
have been asked to look for John
D. Mcintyre, who was delegate
from Pennsylvania to the recent
Irish convention held here.
Mcintyre arrived in Chicago the
day preceding the convention, that
same evening attending the caucus.
He registered at McCoy's hotel and
was assigned to room and placed
his overcoat and valise in it.
Since then he has disappeared as
mysteriously and completely as if
the earth had opened and swal-
lowed him up. 1t is known that
the missing man had $500 with
him and it is now believed that
this fact is responsible for his dis
appearance.
