SECONDEDITION.
TIRED OF HER HUSBAND.
A Woman Hires Negro toGet Him Out of the
 Way-He Did It.

Atlanta, Ga.. June 16.-A special from Cochran, Ga, to the Constitution says that Mrs. William Nobles paid negro $10 to kill her husband. The body was buried by the woman. Nobles was an old farmer of Twiggs county. He and his wife often quarreled.
 When the body was found Mrs. Nobles said: well murder will out, and I'd just as well tell the straight of it. They can't do anything but hang me, or send me to the penitentiary, and either is bet ter than living with a man you have to quarrel and fuss at all the time."
 Mrs. Nobles said that she forgot to re- tract her offer for the death of her hus- band, and was very sorry when she learned that Gus had killed him. She knew, however, that she was responsible for the crime.
 The negro, Gus, also is said to have made a confession without much hesl- tancy His story coincides with that or Mrs Nobles, except he declares that the murder was committed behind the barn and three licks caused the death. one of those was struck by Mrs. Nobles her self. Mrs. Nobles, her daughters and the negro have all been arrested.

Less than seventy-five people were present and no enthusiasm whatever was mani tested the fact of the business being that the people of Jackson have had such surplus of financial orations of late that they savor of chestnuts, and no matter who the speaker there are many empty seats in Representative hall. But MT Williams presented the matter in a forcible way, and it is the general yer dict that he made the best argument for free silver yet heard in this city, not even executing Bryan of Nebraska

A Disgraceful ATair.

Columbia, S. C., June 26--A special to the State from Edgefield thus tells of the refusal of the people of that county to let John J. Dargan of Sumter editor of the Sumter Freeman, who Is advocating the giving of political rights to the negro, speak there: The scenes on the streets of Edgefield today would have been a disgrace to Zululand. It was stated in the papers that Col. John J. Dargan would speak at Edgefield today There were none here who agree with Colonel Dargan's views, but most of the citizens of the town hoped for decency's sake that nobody would interfere with Colonel Dargan or any other citizen of South Carolina who attempted to speak. But this was not to be. The strife promoters notified the faithful in the county that Dargan must not be allowed to speak. This morning brought in a couple of hundred, and a committee was appoint ed to wait on him and tell him he could not speak, and it is said another commit tee was selected to soc that he should not speak if he attempted it. Colonel Dar- gan did not attempt to speak. and while walking along the pavement was fol- lowed by a crowd, some of them well filled with chemically pure, who hooted at, cursed and abused him. But they were all careful not to lay hands on him.

Handspring was a prohibitive favorite, while Hast ings was backed at odds of to to beat Sagamore for the place only. Hastings started off slightly in the lead, but the chestnut head of Handspring was soon in front and they ran heads apart to the home stretch Griffin shot Hastings into the lead as soon as they were headed for home, and Doggett was forced to ride his hardest on Handspring to keep him going. The pace was too hot for Handspring, and Hastings came away and won by three lengths. Saga more was literally beaten off in the stretch. Summarizes

RENTON'S DEATH
And the Outrageous Conduct Toward His Fam fly by Merchants of Honduras
 to Be Avenged.

Washington, June 26-The state de- partment today received the gratifying information that the government of Hon duras has at last taken positive action toward bringing to justice the murderers of c. w. Renton, an American citizen re- siding at Brewers Lagoon, Honduras, with his wife and niece. The information was received this morning in a tele- grapic dispatch from MT PringIe. charge d'affairs of the United States at Guate- mala, in which he says that Honduras minister for foreign affairs had tele graphed him that three of the persons in- plicated in the murder had been arrested.
 For more than year the state depart ment has vainly tried to bring the gov ernment of Honduras to realization of it's responsibilities in the case. MT. Ren- ton was murdered on March Is, 1894, and his wife and niece were driven out of the country by the murderers, who are al legged to have been business rivals of their victim. Mrs. Benton came to Washington in May, 1894, and presented her case personally and then went to New York, where she engaged counsel and submitted a formal statement Mr Uhl, who was acting secretary of state at the time, immediately called upon the
 
 ras to report all facts in>the matter but the reports received from there were un- satisfactory as the nearest consul was 300 miles distant from Brewers Lagoon.
 MT. Uhl then called on the navy de- partment to send a war vessel to the scene of the crime to investigate The Montgomery was dispatched in March last, and about the middle of that month Commander Davis submitted his report
 On March 19, 1895, MT. Uhl cabled MT Young, United States minister to Guate- mala and Honduras, that the naval in vestigation had established the fact that Renton was murdered and instructed him to urge on the government of Hon duras prompt action, so that the guilty parties could not escape punishment. Two days later MT. Young cabled that he had requested the Honduras govern ment to act promptly, and on the 23d of that month he again informed the de- partment that Honduras had promised to take action.
 Mr.. Uhl was dissatisfied, however. with the course of events, and the next day he telegraphed MT. Young that the pres- dent was disappointed because Hon. duras had not acted promptly and in structing MT. Young to urge action and report progress. Mir. Young responded on the 2eth that he had again impressed on Honduras the necessity of vigorous action and a speedy report; that the gov ernment had assured him that they were prosecuting the investigation with the utmost diligence. and that he hoped soon to be able to report satisfactory re- suits. The next communication in the correspondence is that received today from Mir Prlngle.

TO NAME A PRESIDENT.
The Cuban Societies in the United States
 Will Meet July 10.


 Will Meet July 10.
 New York, June 26.-The utmost activ- ity prevails among the leaders of the Cuban revolutionary party in this city, and some momentous- questions are on the eve of settlement.
 On July 10, in this city, an election by delegates from the Cuban revolutionary clubs throughout the United States will be held to choose a president of the pro- visional government of the republic of Cuba.
 Immediately upon the settlement of that important question and upon the in- duction of the successor of the late Jose Marti into office the officials of the rev olutionary government will cause an is- sue of interest bearing bonds on the Gu ban republic. which will be redeemed by the republic when the domination of Spain over the Queen of the Antilles is successfully oyerthrown.
 The revolutionists in the United states, said Senor Enrique Trujillo prominent Cuban leader, "are in favor of the selection of Senor Thomas Estrada Palma to occupy the place made vacant by the death of Jose Marti, and he will doubtless be elected. Senor Palma is quietly domiciled at Pleasant Valley, N. Y, and many prominent Cubans have visited him there
 Dr. Savas GonzaIo de Quesada will continue as secretary of the revolution ary party and Senor Benjamin J. Guerra as treasurer.
 Senor Trujillo said that Cubans were pleased at the return of Consul General Williams to Havana, as MT. Williams has always been jealous in the protec- ton of the interests of American citizens in Cuba.

INDUSTRIAL,

Messrs Dunn Bros. have secured the contract from the city of New Orleans to pave State street with chert. They will obtain this chert from the quarries around Birmingham. It will require al- most 1000 car loads and the amount of money put out in this district will be considerable. The chert will be put on blanks as a base, and will be laid 1 foot thick. The street to be paved is one of the main residence streets of New Or Jeans. If the chert pavement proves sat isfactory. as it no doubt will. other streets will be paved This district will soon find its chert quarries one of it's most profitable sources of revenue. This chert, or fine gravel is found in inex- haustible quantity along the foot hills of Red mountain. It is on the surface and is easily mined
