DON'T BE IN A HURRY.

Don't be in hurry to answer yes or no;
NOthing's lost by being reasonably slow.
In hasty moment you may give consent,
And through years OF torment leisureiy re-
pent.
II lover seeks you to become his wife.
Happiness or isery may be yours for life;
Don't be iua hurry your feefingsto confess,
But think the matter over before you
answer yes.
Should one ask forgiveness for a grave Of
fense,
Honest tears betrayiug earnest penitence,
Pity and console him and his tears aliay.
And don't be in a hurry to drive the child
away.
Hurry brings US worry: worry wears usout:
Easy-going people know what they're
about.
Needless haste will bring US surely to the
ditch,
And troubles overwhelm US if we hurry to
be rich.
Don't be in hurry to throw yourself
away;
BY the side OF wisdom for a while delay.
Make your life worth living; uobly act
your part;
And don't be in hurry to spoil it at the
start.
Don't be ina hurry to speak an angry word:
Don't be iu a hurry to spread the tale
you've heard.
Don't be in hurry with evil ones to go;
And don't be- in a hurry to answer yes or NO.

FORD PLEAD GUILTY
Continued From First Page.

George B. McCeney, the murderer's former
employer, was there, too. to tell Of Ford's
duplicity and his conflicting statements
as to where he had been prior To, at the

pistol-Chares II. Collins, an employe of
the District-told OF bis find and or the con-

of the murder. Alfred walford. the dealer
who sold the pistol, was again ready to

IN THE JAIL.
In the Jail Ford manifests the greatest
curiosity to know the newspaper story
Of the crime. He cannot read, but takes
great delight i'm looking at the illustrat ions
Of magazine or book. Yesterday the
guard offered him some old magazines,
and he spent the greater part of the after
noon turning over the leaves and admiring
the pictures.
Yesterday he walled continually: "Ob.
II could only see my wife; why don't she
come to see me?' He was greatly dis
tressed at her seeming neglect, and thought
she was being Kept away.
About $50 O'Clock this morning, how
ever. Lizzie Ford called at the jail, and
was taken back to his cell. She carried
their little baby on her arm, and held her
tiny face up TO the bars to be kissed. The
murderer's JOY at seeing them was bound

aud fondled the little one, and pressed his
wife's hands.

asked
II didn't know where to find you" she
replied. Then she continued: what made
you do it. Irvin?'
He hung his head and replied shame
facedly: 'Yo' knows. Liz. wen I'm in
licker l amt myself. Licker an the devil
made me do it,
Then he braced up and asked after his
father and brother. His sister had accom-
panied his wife to the jail. and was outsidein
the corridor. He expressed a wish to see
her and she was aiken back.
The two women, with the little baby,
spent an hour at the jail and then went to
police headquarters. Before they left Ford
told themthat he had confessed and repented
and was praying for forgiveness.
Ford talks quite freely about his fate.
and is fully convinced that he will walk

The egal punishment seems to have no
terrors for him. but il was the dread Of
being torn to pieces or burned at the stake
that kept him in such a state OF nervousness

sPANIARDs WRONG SAILORS.
A shipwrecked Crew BrutaIIy Treat
ed in Cuba.

New York, Nov. 16.-Among the passen-
gers who arrived to-day per the Ward line
steamer Yucatan from Havana, were 1S
shipwrecked seamen. They were Capt. Mel
son and twelve of the crew of the British
steamer Cola, which ran ashore on Colo
RADIO reef at o'clock on the morning OF
Nov. 4. Later the steamergot off into deep
water, and Capt. Nelson attempted to run
her across the strait to Key West but the
water gained so rapidly that at a. M,
they abandoned the steamer which shortly
afterwards sank in deep water. AT Z a. m
the shipwrecked seamen landed on the Gu
ban coast about sixty miles west of Ha-
vana, where they fell into the hands OF
Spanish soldiers. The Spaniards, believing
them to be flibusters from the American
coast, treated the prisoners harshly
threatening to shoot all hands. FINALLY
they were taken to Havana where they
we're taken in charge by the British con-
sui, who sent them to New York.

wrecked crew, in speaking of their expe-
rence in Cuba, said: I'VE landed by a

CLASHES OVER THE COUNT.
The Returns From Mclean County,
Kentucky, Prove Irregular.

The Returns From Mclean County,
Kentucky, Prove Irregular.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 16.-The state can
vassing board may refuse to count Nc
Lean county. This is one of the three
counties-Marshall, Mclean and Mont
gomery-whose returns were irregular,
and which have never been put on the Off
cial table. Mclean county simply certi-
fies that Mckinley received 9S5 votes and
Bryan 1889.
The other counties named the first cleo
Smith and Kash. But it is thought that
as Mclean has certified the vote of no
elector by name, that the board cannot
count it for any one. The result Will be
that Smith, the leading democratic elec-
tor, will lose a 596 majority and that
Kashs majority over Smith in the state
will be increased thereby from A4, the
latest revised figures, to $40.
This result will not affect the election
of Smith, the democrat, as one of the
thirteen electors, for he will still be ahead
of Mason, the third elector on the repub-
lican ticket. The only result of the count
which could defeat Smith now, would be
the throwing out of owen county. This
cannot be done by the state canvassing
board, for owen is properly and regularly
certified. 1t can, however, be done by the
state contest board, which is a different
body, and before which it is understood
Col. Breckinridge's fight has been begun.

Usher in Indiana.
Oakland City. Ind, Nov. d6.--Death never
came to q ravisher more promptly than 1t
did tonight to Ed. williams, a miner, who
was killed by an infuriated mob Of men at
Carbon, four miles east of this city.
williams contemplated an assault upon
a Mrs. Palm who lived at Ayrshire. a
small mining town nearby, but upon going
to the woman's home found her confined
to bed with an illness. Notwithstanding,
the brute made an attempt, but falling, he
turned his attention to Mrs. Palms daugh-
ter, who is under fourteen years Of age. In
this he was successful and then he has
tened to the Air Line yards, where he
boarded freight train west bound.
In the meantime, an alarm had been
given and number of maddened miners
started In pursuit of the train, which was
oVertaken at Ayrshire.
williams was found perched upon box
car. He was promptly knocked from the
car with rock but was not seriously in
tured Then he started on run for shell
ter in a nearby wood, his pursuers keep
ing UP a constant fire from their pistols.
Just as Williams entered the wood bullet
pierced his heart
The avengers returned to their homes,
leaving the body to be taken care of BY
the coroner. No arrests have been made.

INSURANCE CAUSES SUSPICION.
A Grocer Held ON Charge of
Drowning His Family.

Denver, Col. Nov. 16--Andrew ]. Sputes
a well-known grocer Of this city, with his
family, consisting of his wife and FIVE
small children, went boating on Smiths
Lake Sunday, Oct. &C. The boat was cap
sized and Mrs. spute and the children were
drowned. spute. apparently with great diff
hculty managed to cling to the boat until
rescued
Although 1t was known at the time OF
the drowning that Mrs. Spute's life, as well
as the lives of the children were insured
for a sum aggregating $4,000, Spute's ex-
planaton Of the cause seemed entirely sat-
lsfactory. Spute claimed himself and fam
ily had intended to go to the mountains
for an outing and that the insurance poll
icy for three months only was taken out on
this account Detectives have been quietly
at work on the case since the night of the
drowning, and IL is alleged have secured
evidence that will convict Spute of the
murder Of his family for the purpose OF
securing the insurance on their lives.
Spute was arrested at an early hour this
morning, and shortly after Nellie Davis,
an inmate OF a Market street resort, was
lodged I'm fail. Spute, IL is alleged, has for
a long time led a dual life and has lavished
much money on the Davis woman, whom
he informed Of the large insurance on his
wifes life, and 20 whom he promised costly
presents on her birthday-the 18th of De-
cember. The woman Is held as a witness
by the police but 1t is not believed that she
was acquainted with Spute's plan for the
murder of his family.

BILLET POOL NOT BROKEN.

walls in Its Ranks.

Pittsburg, Nov. 16.-Secretary George A..
Griscom of the American Bessimer Steel
Association, which is better known as tho
billet pool, was at his Office in the Car
nege building this afternoon, having re-
turned from the meeting of the associa-
tlon in New York.
Mr.. Grlscom said: 1--WE had an harmo-
nious meeting, lasting four days, during
which we changed the specifications of the
association TO include all articles manu-
featured from billets, instead OF from the
billet basis. An ingot basis was not adopt
ed, the finished material project being
deemed a better method. OF course, the
changes apply only to the members Of the
pool, who are engaged In the production
of billetsa The action was taken TO make
the agreement more satisfactory and Tor
the purpose Of forming more solid con-
tract"
In answer to a question, Mr.. Grlscom
said that the members were In harmony,
one with another and that no ruptures
occurred The price Of billets, Mr.. Girls
com said, would not be changed, and
they will be sold as heretofore at $20.25.
1--WE think that price is fair one. 1t
was held all during the depression, and
no billets, or not many, were sold at that
figure. No more would have been sold
had the price been lowered to SIS, while
the price being kept up, steadied the mar
ket"
The only concern out of the pool Mr..
Griscom said, is the Shoenberger Com

Eiahty-nine votes were necessary to

Mr. Clays victory is the elimination
Of one of the most remarkable campaigns
In the history of the state. 1t is just
three weeks since the campaign for the
vacant place in the Senate, caused by the
untimely death of Judge Crisp, began.
W hen the members of the legislature came
to Atlanta, not one of them had instruc-
tions on the senatorship or had entangle-
ments or alliances with any of the large
field of candidates that soon developed
They were all absolutely untrammelled
50 that The fight was won and lost
strictly speaking upon the individual mer-
its Of the contestants and their. immedi-
ate friends in the contest.
1t was a fight which invited the most
accomplished political mahouvering, and
the laurel was won by the master hand.
While Mr.. Clay is senator, the greatest
honors Of the campaign unquestionably
belong to Hon. Fleming duBignon. 1t was
he who trimmed the sails of the Cobb
county mans craft, and kept his hand
upon the wheel. Although Mr.. Clay will
wear the toga, Mr.. duBignon is installed
by the victory in the position of political
dictator. He will be at the head of a
