The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-01-31

week or two ago it was published all
over the country that in the town OF
Affection. in Wisconsin, there were more
than one hundred men and not one wo-
man. Since that time every mail received
at Affection has been full of letters to
the men there. Matrimonially inclined
women in all sections and in every state
have FASTENED to assure the companion
less men at Affection of their deep sym
pathy, and of their willingness to sacri-
fee the liberty of single blessedness for
the sake of adding to the sum of human
happiness by becoming wives. A Philadel-
phia woman. who has been married three
times, says she would not mind making
fourth venture. and suggests that maybe
there would be a good opening for a new
ly married couple to start a boarding
house. The prospects are that Affection
win not long remain a womanless town.
There is no more ardent and untiring
Irish patriot than the Hon. John f. Fin
erty. who told 1.-The Story Of ireland" at
Catholic Library hall last night and whom
the Irish and other citizens of Savannah
have been pleased to honor with their at
tentions. Mr.. F'inerty began his fight for
Ireland when many of the voters who
heard him last night were small boys
and he has kept it up consistently and
vigorously ever since. His activity for
his native country was so great that it
was deemed unsafe for him to remain at
home, so he came to America. But he
did not permit his love for the old sod to
cool in the least by the change of resi-
dence. He has held many offices of trust
in his adopted home, yet all the while has
pleaded the cause of Ireland and advanc-
ed her interests upon every possible oc-
casion. The people of this country take
pleasure in knowing and honoring such
men as Mr.. Finerty.
We tender to the Augusta Chronicle the
assurances of our most distinguished
consideration for its fairness in setting
forth arguments on both sides of the con-
vention question, and name as an in
stance illustrating that fairness its repro
duction entire of our editorial article on
the subject headed Strife Invited"
While making this acknowledgement, we
cannot refrain from noting that in the
Chronicles reproduction If the article the
linotypes rang in a very funny little
change on our comment upon Senator
Bacon's position. making us say: IF he
really wants to avoid strife he can sniff
in disdain at lifes clatter and of holding
two conventions be adhered to-" Now,
we said nothing about the senator sniff
ing in disdain at anything He is at lib
erty to sniff at life's clatter all he pleases,
and we shall never say word about it.
Indeed, the more he shifts, the better it
will be. for the shifting may presently
make philosopher of him. The expla-
nation of the disjointed sentence is, of
course. that stray line of type got in at
the wrong place. But there is no harm
done.

Dear Mr.. MAhAu. I wish you would 4sk for
The releaze Of the boys accused Of throwing the
Eggs I am sure Il EAs al act 81 though tlessuess
and their arrest has doubtless been a sufficient
lesson to them and others. Yours truly.
W. J. BRYAN.
Whether the young men will be
prosecuted the chief refuses 10 say.
Late in the afternoon the chief of
police was compelled 10 release the two
yOung prisoners as. after Mr. Bryan
had written him letter asking for their
release, it was evident that there would
be no prosecution if the prisoners were
arraigned. Before the prisoners had
been released word was received from
both Of their families saying that the
law could take IT'S course, as no part in
the defense would be taken by any Of
their relatives.

A Deal In Potatoes.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Judge Adams. sitting in the United
States circuit court Monday, oyerruled
a motion for a new trial IN the case of
J A. SkipwIrh, secretary Of the Fort
Smith Potato Growers Association ,
against Conrad SchOpp & Co. Of this
city.
It seems that on June Is. 1895
SchOpp & Co. contracted with the Fort
Smith Potato Growers Association for
the association entire output for six
DAYS, beginning June Is and ending
June 20, 1898. The contract price was
81 cents. free on board st. Louis, the
goods 60 be shipped on certain named
railroad, but afterwards, IN consider
alton Of the association ; being per
mitted 70 ship by any line it chose, the
contract was modified, and the price of
the potatoes regulated by the reasonable
market value in st. Louis.
The association shipped number Of
car loads. but SchOpp & Co. refused 20
paw for them all en- the ground that they
had sustained damages by the failure Of
the association % ship all OF its output
as agreed to
The association brought suit. and
about two weeks ago recovered iudg
ment for s.. 531. gs.
Judge Adams. in everything the
motion for a new trial said that while
il was true that Is or Is car loads Of
potatoes had been diverted from Schopp
& Co. and shipped elsewhere. the
evidence furnished at the trial relative
10 the market value Of potatoes IN St.
Louis was so indefinite and uncertain
that il was difficult to determine how
much damage Schopp & Co, had
sustained by the diversion Of the Is car
loads. The Jury estimated II az 81
and the court was not inclined %
disturb their verdict

BRUTAL BUTOHERY.

La Plata, Md, April 24.-The
dead bodies of Mrs. Joseph Miller
and Mis-. Daisy Miller, neiee' and
the unconscious form Of Joseph
Cooking, the murdered wOman's
husband, were found early this
morning in a village store kept by
the Cockings at Hilltop, a small
hamlet near here. The affair has
created intense excitement and feel
ing raAs so high that the culprits, if
caught, will probably be lynched'
Ssarchlngparties havebeenorganlzed
and the country for miles around is
being secured for the murderers.
Robbery was the incentive.
The women were on the upper
floor of the store and were struck
dead with a blunt instrument sup
n sed to have been an iron bar.
Whe her other violence was COM
mitted is as yet-unknown. Cooking
was left for dead by the burglars in
the cellar. He had been securely
bound with a heavy rope and brutal
ly treated, but though unconscious
when found and suffering from
fright'ul wounds about the head
probably will recover.
The Coroner's jury after investl'
CITING the case fully, returned a
verdict that in their opinion, Joseph
Cooking, the husband and brother
in law. was the murderer of hls
wife and sister.in law.
