STILL HOPING FOR HANYE.
Another Petition 10 the Governor,
Who Declines to Interfere.

Another Petition 10 the Governor,
Who Declines to Interfere.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept IA final effort was
made this afternoon to save the life Of
Arthur Hanye. who is under sentence TO
die upon the scaffold here tomorrow for
the murder of WIN spinks. Notwithstand-
ing Gov Atkinson had twice refused to
commute his sentence to life imprison-
ment, friends of the condemned circulated
a call for a mass meeting at the court
mousse for the purpose Of bringing sun
further influence to bear upon the COVER
nor, In the hope that such a demand would
be sufflcient to cause him TO revoke MS
former orders and on the eve of the young
mans death, send him TO the penitentiary
instead of the gallows.
The call for the meeting which was put
in circulation by Mr.. Phil HARRISON and
others resulted in the gathering OF about
three hundred people who with Hon. w.
A. Hemphin at their head, fell in line ana
marched through the city from the court
house to the executive mansion on Peach
tree street to lay their petition before the
governor. Gov. Atkinson met the crowd on
the front veranda of the mansion and
when Mr.. Hemphill who acted as spokes-
man for the occasion presented the petit
ton, he replied in a firm, but feeling
that Hanyes crime was clearly one OF
murder and he could not, therefore, in
the conscientious discharge of his duty,
interfere with the verdicts Of the courts.
The governor has given the case the most
searching consideration and went over the
evidence upon which Hanye was convict
ed TO show the crowd, which had swelled
to thousand or more by the time the
governor was reached at the mansion, that
there was no good reason upon which the
Communication could be asked.
There has been considerable public
sentiment in favor of the condemned, but
this has been due largely to the manner
in which the local newspapers have ham
died the case, their effect being to arouse
sympathy for him.
Hanye became resigned to his fate this
afternoon, and was baptized by Meth
odist minister. He has read his Bible
constantly for the past few weeks, and
processes repentance for all his sins, in
Guiding the killing Of Spinks, which he
persists in claiming was an accident, and
without the least malice, although the
evidence on the trial showed strongly the
opposite.
The execution tomorrow will be pri-
vate, except for the presence of news
paper reporters.

MIR. CLAY KICKS.
Cunningham's Bad Habit of Letter.
writing Makes Him Tired.


Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3.-Chairman Steve
Clay of the democratic state committee,
after sending a letter to Chairman Buck
of the republican state committee, agree
ing to recommend to the county chair
man division of managers between dem
ocrats and republicans in the November
election, according TO his request made
yesterday, sent another communication
TO Chairman Cunningham of the populist
state committee, which is intended TO
cause a cessation of the correspondence
between him and that gentleman on the
subject of division of managers, or cause
some other kind of trouble.
Chairman Clay Is tired of being pestered
by Chairman Cunningham. He is salts
fed that the populist manager is actuated
solely by a desire to hear himself talk,
50 TO Put 1t, and to get into the news
papers, and when Mr.. Cunningham to-day
ing his former efforts TO befuddle the
minds of the people on the
subject of division of managers,
which the democrats had already
expressly agreed to without hesi-
tation when the request was first made,
he determined to reply in a way that
would bring the populist chairman up
lowing which, If Chairman Cunningham
persists in his letter writing propensity
by replying TO, may be followed by a vol
ley of hot shot that will make a variegat-
ed collection Of punctures In his political
skin.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3, 1S96.-Hon. John
D. Cunningham, Chairman Peoples Par
~ Campaign Committee, Atlanta: Dear
Sir: Your fourth communication is this
day to hand. In my last letter I in
formed you that 1 would recommend that
each party be allowed representation at
each voting place on the day of election
that is, representation by manager and
clerk. This you know, was all the au-
thority / possessed; but your anxiety to
keep before the public has caused you TO
continue writing. AS to the charges in
your letter, they are unworthy of reply.
When l wish instructions in either morals
or honesty from you, shall inform you.
This ends our correspondence. Respect
fully, A. s. Clay,

GOING TO HEADQUARTERS.
THE STATE COMMISSION TO
TACKLE PRESIDENT SPENCER.

The Head of the Southern system
win he Asked if He Knows Who
Owns the Central md the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroads.
The Willingness of President
Spencer to Appear Is Taken as
Evidence That He Can Convince
the Commission That the Southern
and the other Roads Are Not the
Same.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3.-The state railroad
commission will take up the question OF
the ownership of the Central railroad the
Georgia Southern and Florida, and the
Southern some time this month, and in all
probability dispose of the matter.
The commission has been awaiting the
arrival in this country Of President Sam
ueI Spencer of the Southern, whose pres
ence before the commission as a witness
is desired. Mr.. Spencer has been in Eu-
rope several months, but has returned
now, and has notified the road commits
sion that he will come TO Atlanta some
time this month and appear before that
body to tell what he knows about the
ownership of the stock and the actual con-
troll of the three lines at interest.
Various efforts have been made to get
this information, but all the subordinates
of Mr. Spencer have failed to satisfy the
commission.
Mr.. Spencer could not be forced to APP
pear before the commission unless he
should be surprised by a subpoena while
within the limits of the state. He is per-
FaCtlv IA F1flfar with q aims of the com
mission and the consequences that would
follow the action of that body declaring
the Southern, the Georgia Southern and
the Central all practically one line, and.
therefore, liable to the operation of rule /
of the commissions regulations, and his
willingness to appear as a witness against
his interest, as the commission views the
case. would indicate that the roads have
little fear of the ultimate result of the
Investigation.

watson and Butler Have a Secret
Conference In Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 3.-Thomas E. Wat
son, the populist nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. and Senator Marion Butler, mana
ger of the populist national campaign,
held a conference here to-day. They dis
cussed the plan of campaign and the sit
uation generally.
Senator Butler wanted to get Mr.. Wat
sons record on some points and the NOM
inee supplied the missing links.
1t was decided that Mr.. Watson should
go to Texas and then west on a stumping
tour. He will give his assistance to the
Texas populists in the movement looking
to fusion. Mr.. Watson also wants flu
sion in Georgia on the basis OF division
of the electoral vote and the withdrawal
of Mr.. Sewall 50 far as Georgia is con-
cerned.
Speaking of the Palmer-B uckner ticket,
Senator Butler said that 1t was meant ito
for Bryan. The men who are in the In
dlanapors convention viii not vote the
ticket but will cast their ballots for Nc
Kinley. i think that If the press and the
speakers will unmask the scheme, the
ticket will draw very little support from
Bryan"
Senator Butler left tonight for Wash
ington. Mr.. Watson leaves in the morn
ing for Texas.
1t is understood that It has been decided
that both Watson and Bryan shall be
notified before Sept. is by letter or com
mittee as each may choose.
