Next Meeting Place.

ATLANTA, GA, October 1.-THE Farm
ers National Congress devoted much OF
its time to-day TO national finances. AS
predicted in the Southern Assocla'eu
Press. the farmers declared for the Tree
coinage Of silver at the ratio OF 10 10 l.
The Committee on Resolutions had
dozen propositions. differing very little
except in mere wording. There was
long debate. but without leadership on
either side.
The committees report favored Tree
coinage of both metals at the present
ratio. guarded by an import duty upon
foreign coin. An effort was made to table
the committees report, but this was over
whelmingly voted down. Finally the fol-
lowing resolutions were acted on as sepa-
rate propositions. and both were adopted
by large majorities:
"Resolyed. That we favor the free and
unlimited coinage Of both gold and silver
at the present ratio Of l6 TO j. guarded
by an import duty upon foreign bullion
and foreign coin equal TO the difference
between the bullion value and the coinage
value OF the metal at the date Of impor-
tation. whenever the bullion value OF the
metal is less than its coin value.
Resolved. That this Farmers National
Congress is in favor OF the equal use Of
both gold and silver coin as money. and
equally as standards Of value, and to Sc
cure the object we favor:

United states Of those nations ready to

POISONING CASE.
Harrison Handy is Mixed Up I'm q
Mystery.


Harrison Handy and Birdie knight, col

noon before Judge Miller on the charge of
attempting to poison Mrs. Handy. The
story of the occurrence has already been
told In The Star. Mrs. Handy charges
that on the night of June ii. when she
was sick abed, Birdie gave her a dose of
laudanum. under the pretense that it was
medicine which the doctor had sent to
her.
Mrs. Handy is a most curious locking
individual She is an Albinc regress. with
complexion as light as a Caucassian's.
and head of tight, kinky hair, of an un-
usual shade of greenish-yellow. She is an
lnFaiu and subject to commissions, and

Who Dropped the DUMMY

Mr.. ]. w. Archer, superintendent Of the
pension building, has sent the following
statement to The Star:
The reports in the newspapers of this
city in relation to the brutal practical joke
perpetrated Friday in the pension build
ing. by the dropping of dummy from the
ceiling at the east end of the building, may
convey the idea that it was done by the
men in the employ of the Hobson Bros,
who are tie contractors for painting and
ma rbleizing the great columns in the court
of this building, which is not the fact
Neither the Hobson Bros. ror any of the
men had anything to do with it. The out
rage was perpetrated by men in the en-
ploy of James A. Miller & Bro. of Chicago,
ILL.,. contrf ctors for ceiling under the roof
of the pension building with corrugated
iron and painting the same. 1t was bru-
tai outrage. and l make this statement as
a matter of simple justice to clear the
Hobson Bros. end their men of any COM
plicity in the affair. 1t is but fair to state
further that Mr.. S. T Cade, the superin-
tendent for Miller & Bro, was very indg-
nant and disclaims any knowledge that
such thing was to be done by his men,"
