DON CUPID AND GRIM DEATH
A Georgia Tragedy Which Has All the Elements for the Plot of Penny
 Dreadful.

Covington, Ga., May 13.-A tragedy occurred near Newton, in this county yesterday that has woven into it's start ling plot love, romance, vengeance mur- der and marriage.
 In Morgan county, just over the line from Newton, there lives the family of the rich and well-known planter, J. T Estes. He had daughter and she had lover. The family of the young lady objected to the marriage of the young people, and they determined to take the matter in their own hands. Yesterday afternoon Will Green met Miss Estes by appointment, and the two proceeded in buggy to the residence of Rev MT Harwell who was to perform the cer- emony. Just as the couple were getting from the buggy they saw MT. Estes and his son coming rapidly towards them. Green quickly pulled revolver and'fired at Mr. Estes, the ball entering near the heart, killing the farmer instantly. Green then fired two shots at young Estes but without effect
 Leaving her father dead in the road and shot to death by her lover, and her brother bending over the 'inanimate form, Miss Estes went on with her lover to Broughtonville, where they were mar ried.
 The sheriff of Newton county has re- ceived a telegram that a reward of $250 has been offered for the capture of Green.

IN MARSHALL COUNTY, ALA.
Twelve Farmers Believe They Have Fourteen
 Millions in Sight,
AND EXPERTS PROP UP THEIR FAITH.
A Syndicate Makes Tempting Offers, Which Are Declined Land Near the Find Cannot Be Bought at Any
 Price Large Nuggets.

Gadsden, May 13.-(SpeciaL)-A dozen farmers in Marshall county own today 600 acres of land worth $l4,000,0o0, which three months ago could have been bought for almost a song.
 One of the largest gold finds ever known was recently made on the prop erty, and you cannot now purchase land near there at any price.
 For some time reports have been re- ceiyed here of the fact that a large dis covery of gold had been made in Marshall county, but as such reports are usually exaggerated and unreliable little attention was paid to them. Your correspondent now, however, has it on the very best authority that probably the largest gold mine in this country has been discovered on Santa creek, six teen miles from Guntersville.
 Maj. Hugh Carlisle of Guntersville, one of the best known citizens of north Alabama, was in Gadsden today and while he is not an owner in the gold mines he was very enthusiastic over the prospects. He verified the report of the find, and said that he knew it to be the biggest thing in the state.
 Three months ago dozen farmers went to work digging in what they thought to be a seam of gold, and find ing considerable quantities they sent for an expert, who told them that they had fortune in the property. Seeing that their mines were banning out a larger quantity of gold each day, they again sent for experts. It was the re- port of these experts that has made the county wild on the subject of gold min ing.
 After an investigation of several weeks they reported that under the 600 acres of old worn out farm lands there was un- doubtedly $14,000,000 worth of gold There was so much confidence put in this report that a syndicate, formed by one of the experts, has offered a large royalty to the owners of the property, agreeing to give them $5 per day for each man put to work digging gold A
 This offer has been refused. however, and today large number of men a-e at work on 3-foot seam which yields from $5 to $15 per yard. A stiff price has been offered for the 500 acres but all of fers have been steadily refused by the twelve farmers, who are determined to go it alone. Adjoining land cannot be bought for any price. The gold from the mines is of a splendid quality and is mined at an extremely low price
 Several very large nuggets which were found few days ago, were shown around in this city today.
 Santa Creek, where the mines are lo- cated, is in very remote district from Guntersville, and is not reached by rail- roads nor telegraph. The source of your correspondent information is of such reliable nature, however that it IS safe to say that this is big thing for Alabama.

ton had been prepared by the conven-

ton.
 The report of the committee on that part of the report of the home mission board relating to foreign population, read by Rev J. T. Christian of Louis vile, Ky, quoted the commissioner of immigration to the effect that the influx of foreigners to our shores is again greatly on the increase. The report further stated that five cities of the United States contained one-sixth of it's entire population; that they were domi- mated by foreign born population, and that rum and Romanism dominated the foreign population. The committee recommended increased efforts among the foreigners and Indians of the United States. Work in Cuba, owing to the ex- isting war there, will have to be post poned until a more propitious time.
 The report was discussed by Dr. Chris tian and Rev. William Richmond of Bal timore, who said it paid to convert Ger mans; that there were no anarchists among converted Germans nor social- ists nor "higher critics" Qaughter); and by A. J. Adaise, a native Baptist minis ter in Cuba The natives. he said, had closed the churches outside of the city of Havana, giving the pastors but few hours in which to leave. But in Havana the work was going on successfully. Speaking of the necessity of laboring among the Cubans he said Catholicism there was worse than,paganism Among the agencies that aided in the work of the churches were the hospital and Red Cross band.
 The convention then adjourned until 7:20 o'clock this evening.
 This evening the delegates from Geor- gia and their friends were taken to Mount Vernon by Secretary Hoke Smith.
 Secretary Smith was to have presented the delegates of the convention to the president, but owing to business the president was unable to meet them, but will do so tomorrow morning

SNOW AND FROST
In the North and Northwest Damage to the Crops Not as Great as Might
 Be Expected

Chicago. May 13.-The cheering news comes from fifteen states visited by frost yesterday morning that crops are re- ported safe. Wheat and oats escaped uninjured, because neither had begun to joint, and where cut down by frost or heavy rains will sprout again.
 Corn was slightly nipped by cold in a few states, but not enough to occasion the slightest alarm that the yield will be affected to any noticeable extent. There is no longer any ground for scare in face of these facts. On the contrary, the outlook is said to be better than 1t was May l, when it was unusually prom ising.

 It is talked on the streets and in the ho- tel Hobbies that free silver league or club, similar to the one recently organized in Birmingham will be organized in this city at an early date. Timber for the construction thereof is very scarce in the Capital City, however. and prominent men talked to on the subject seem to think that If organized at all it will be an only two-or-three club. and that even prominent politicians with bimetallic views will steer clear of 1t.

More seductive than a church rattle,

The popularity of the Oriental order
of humility is ever on the increase,
judging by the enthusiastic work of its
members in the territory. The order
is bound to grow until its membership
will include all the leading men of the
territory, and every town in the terri
tory will have it's lodge of active mem
bers. The strongest lodge in the terri
tory today is that ait Tucson, which
boasts of nearly 200 members, the lead
ing men of the old Pueblo. The mag
nificent performance recently given at
the opera house there, was played to
the largest house that ever graced the
Reid opera building, and was received
with great enthusiasm. Many of our
citizens are anxious to have the piece
produced in Phoenix, and have a lodge
organized at the same time. The Tue
son lodge, we believe could be prevailed
ito come over with the company and
either before or after the theatrical en-
tertainment, organize Phoenix lodge.

CANADA'S ENMITY.

Is Canada getting ready for a war on
the United States? Her commissioners
are in Washington trying to effect an
agreement as to the payment OF the
Behring Sea indemnity claimed by her
sealers. But along the Alaska line, or
what she claims as such, she seems to
be making preparations for war. 1t is
true that the officials carrying on these
preparations are called police, not SOL
diers; but their operations and prepar-
ations are distinctly military. They
are occupying strategic points, the de-
spatches say, and throwing up breast
works, as though expecting an invasion
from our side. What complexities the
matter is that the line thus claimed is
not conceded on our side, and has not
been determined upon by any interna-
tional agreement, 1t has sprung into
Importance through the opening Of gold
mines, and through the artificial appre-
citation of that metal making it worth
while to wash deposits, not especially
rich, under an arctic sky, and at a great
distance from any base Of supplies. .
Thus far these Canadian operations
merely amuse us. But if they should re-
suit in a collision with our miners on
ground not admittedly Canadian, the
result would be serious. For this rea-
son it would have been well for the
Canadian government to have waived
its claim until the matter was adjusted
scientifically to the satisfaction of both
parties. But in truth Canada has a
deeply rooted dislike of US, which is as
intense as THE general antipathy felt
by the rest of mankind ito England.
