GOV. ATKINSON KISSED.
Sensational Scene at a College Com
menCement.

ATLANTA, Ca, June A special
from Mllledgevllle states that the senior
class refused to day to accept their
diplomas from the board of trustees
When Governor Atkinson announced
that the trustees would d9liver the
diplomas, the students, the faculty,
and the audience, were amazed. After
Professor Chapel made his protest
Governor Atkinson stepped forward
before the applause had died away,
and, with a face white with rage and a
vol e choked with anger, he turned to
Prof. Chapel and uttered these words
amid deathly silence:
Il have known Prof. Chapel a long
time, but l never thought he could be
guilty of an act so unbecoming a gen
tlemap, and so unchivalrous as perse-
cutting a defenceless girl"
He waited q moment to give his
words effect, and then said further:
The board of trustees were guided
solely by justice in this affair, and
they have stood a gross wrong and the
most absolute injustice"
Again there vas silence
The teachers of this institution, " he
said, cannot confer diplomas. Their
terms end with the commencement,
and they have no right to do so, under
the law"
In the pause that ensued, every
teacher on the tege and every student
present arose en- masse, and com
panied by nearly all the audience,
started to leave the Don The Cover

tacle, a blush mantIing his cheeks.
Grey headed men present never re-
membered such a spectacle Of silent in

Prof. Chapel stepped quietly to the
front, and IN o few words called back
the audience, the Governor meanwhile
uttering some remarks. the purport of
which was not clearly understood
Then Fleming Du Bigncn asked the
privilege Of a word, and stated that the
trustees merely meant to do Justice to
the young lady.

Enthusiastically supported, in their own
way, his race for Governor, and when
he wasinaugurated they moved heaven
and earth to get permission to attend
the exercises in a body.
But to day, as the Governor stepped
from the stage, he was met by two

maids Kissed him to the echo

Mr.. Payne is a lawyer, and for about
twenty years prior to the time that he
came to this city he had resided in

his profession. TIE World published

eloped from that city with the wife of
a friend-Mrs. Maggie Leland had
come to this city and married her, and.
after squandering money, had deserted
her. l5 scanned that but little effort
had been made to get at the truth Of
the facts, although Mr.. Payne was llv-
ing with the woman in this city at the
time Of the publication Of the story IN
1899
The fact was that Mr.. Payne was
married to Mrs. Lee. There was no

Hangs Himself.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, June 4-Early this
morning Jacob Lucky shot and killed
his neighbor, John Mullock, and after
two other attempts at suicide, hanged
himself frc the limb of a tree ten feet
from Mullock's dead body. The muir
der was a cold blOoded affair, and was
premeditated, Lucky lying in ambush
for MullOck, and shooting him down as
he returned from work. Lucky was
angered at Mullock a week ego, when
his wife was found har bored by him.
She had fed to MullC ck's house for
protection and to escape from Lucky's
cruel treatment. Lucky then swore to
have vengeance against Mullock, and
killed him this morning, their first
meeting since the family feud. Both

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR FIRE.
A Whole Block Of Buildings in Freder-
icksburg Destroyed.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, June 4-One
of the most disastrous fires yer known
in the history of Frederick sburg broke
out here this morning about 5 o'clock
in the Excelsior Mill of William J..
King. It is supposed to have originated
i II spontaneous combustion. In a few
moments, and before the fire depart
ment could get the water turned on,
the whole block seemed to be in flames.
The Excelsior Mill, the ice factory of
the Fredericksburg Ice Company, the
handsome brick dwelling of Mrs. Pit
man and every house on the block was
soon on fire and the whole block burned
to the ground.
The fire leaped across Main street
and burned up n house on another
block before it could be gotten under
control.
The loss is about fifty thousand dol
lars, partially covered by insurance.
The saddest feature of the whole oc-
cusrence was the burning of William
Deshozo, the engineer OF the Excelsior
Mill. DeshCzo was on duty up to II
o'clock, and then, as has been his u
tom since the hot spell set in, he went
to sleep on a bale Of excelsior. 1t is
posed he must have been either 8 'unned
by the explt sion or sufocated by the
smoke before waking. Deshcz0 was a
steady, reliable man.

THE BULLION RECOVERED.
Irate Woman's Reverge-ECcvernment's
Suspicious Justified.

CARSON, New, June 5-The $50, COO
in gold bars stolen from the Carson
mint was recovered yesterday in the
most unexpected way, WHEN govern
ment officers dug up the tres sure in
the wood shed of William Picker, an
employee of the meters and reffners
department., who had not been sus-
pected. Picker was betrayed by a
woman with whom he had been living,
and whom he had abused. She came
to the officers on Monday night, and
told them that she would disclose on
Tuesday the hiding place of the missing
bullion. True to her promise she ap-
peared, and gave minute directions for
digging in one corner of Pickler's
wood-shed There the bars of gold
were %unearthed, just as they had been
stolen from the mint. This discovery
bears out the case which government
experts had formulated against EN-.
ployees OF this department. If any n
of the gang now turns States evidence
the whole truth will come out.
