DUBIGNON'S HAND IN THE DEAL
sAVANNAHIAN SAID TO BE AFTER
THE GOVERNORsHIP.

According ~ a story AdOnt M At
Ianta Clay Is to Support Him For
Governor Two Years Hence in
Payment For His Support of Clay
in the Present Senatorial Fight.
The GOvernOrship to BE u stepping
stone TO BacOn's Seat in the Sem
ate.
Atlanta, Ca, Nov. u.-Much speculation
has been INDUCED in with respect to the
part Mr.. duBignon is playing in the SEN
atorial game and the final effect it will
have. Mr.. duBignon is openly advocating
Mr.. Clay, and has been back of his cam
paign from the outset. At first it was
understood that he was delivering the
South Georgia vote to Mr.. Clay, in the
hope that the time would come when Mr..
Clay could reciprocate with the North
Georgia vote, which he has at his back,
and that thus the Savannah man might
run way with the senatorial prize. Ev-
erybody has been looking for this coup
d etat, but up to date it has not developed,
either because it cannot be worked or be-
cause Mr.. duBignon has no serious de-
signs upon the senatorship this time,
realizing, as he must, that no sound money
man need apply to this legislature.
The facts in regard to the relations be-
tween Mr.. duBignon and Mr.. Clay in the
senatorial contest are said to be an under
standing between them that in return for
the South Georgia votes and the active in
fluence of the former, Mr.. Clay is to stand
aside for Mr. duBignon two years hence
in the race for the gubernatorial chair.
Mr.. Clay has all along been regarded as a
candidate for governor two years from
now, while in fact little has been said of
Mr.. duBignon in this connection. Hence
the report of this sort of
an understanding in the present
case will be received with some
surprise. The information upon which
this report is based comes, however, from
a reliable source. In fact, the deal has
been generally discussed here for the past
two or three days. If it should work out
successfully, Mr.. duBignon would be land
ed in the gubernatorial chair two years
hence, whether Mr.. Clay is successful in
the fight now not. Mr.. dulBignon, it
is said, would then become a candidate for
the Senate in opposition to Senator Bacon.
at the conclusion of two years in the ex-
ecutive office. The reported compact be-
tween Messrs. duBignon and Clay is set
forth as one of the most potent factors,
in an indirect way, in the present dead
lock. But for 1t, some of the wiseacres
say. 1t would not be hard for Messrs.
Clay and Howell to go together, but as
long as Mr.. Clay is bound up with Mr..
duBignon, there is an insurmountable
stumbling block in the way of any deal
between Messrs. Howell and Clay, for the
reason that Mr.. Clay could not give the
same assurance to Mr.. Howell that he
has already given to Mr. duBignon. The
democratic caucus will meet again to-
morrow afternoon to resume the ballot
ing for senator.

BRUTAL MURDER OF A BUTCHER.
Went Hunting with Negro and
Was Found Dead.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. u.-William Waters,
a butcher, living at &C Leonard street, was
found dead in a running branch a mile
and a half east of the old water works
reservoir this morning with a CHASTITY
gun-shot wound in the back of his head.
He left his home yesterday morning be-
tween and o'clock, with a negro named
George Perdue for the purpose of hunt
ing in the neighborhood where his body
was found
Perdue, the negro who is suspected of
the crime. was arrested this afternoon in
the immediate neighborhood of the home
of the dead man. The body was found in
the branch which takes off the surplus
water from the water works pond now
called Lakewood. The corpse was on its
back in the running stream, with the coat
pulled up over the face, concealing the
white features of death There was a
large and ghastly wound at the top and
back of the Uranium. A farmer living in
The vicinity, in crossing the little stream,
made the discovery, and at once telephon-

ity of the body.
When Waters left his home yesterday
morning after kissing his wife and baby
goodbye, he said that he was going to
Belts farm and Pools swamp, both of
which are in the direction of Lakewood
park. He had borrowed a neighbor's dog,
and with his own, left the house. This
was the last seen of him.
The failure of Waters to show up at
dark last night alarmed his wife. Mrs.
Waters, with her baby, went to the home
of her mother, hoping to find him there
Not finding her husband. she notified the
city police. A search was at once insti-
tuted. but nothing was learned of him
last night.
At 1 o'clock this morning a brother of
the missing man went to the home of
George Perdue, with whom it was
thought Waters had gone hunting, but
the negro was not there. He had not
been at home, and this aroused suspicion
against him. If he committed the muir
der, no motive has yet been disclosed He
and Waters had frequently been hunting
together Waters was man of good hab-
its. He is said to have been sober and
Industrious. and was never known to
drink whisky. When he left home yester-
day morning he was cheerful and did not
seem at all respondent. His friends say
that he had no cause for dependency.

CANTINI AWARDED $4,000.
The Judgement Against South Caro-
lima Sustained.

Charleston. S. c.. Nov. T.-Information
was received here to-day that Judge Ma
than Golf, sitting in the United States
court of appeals in Richmond, had handed
down a decision in the notorious Can
tint dispensary case, which went up from
Charleston on an appeal taken by the at
torney general OF South Carolina. The
court of appeals affirms the decision of
the lower court, giving AMANDA Cantini
5000 damages from the state, and at the
same time some very sharp language is
used regarding Attorney General Barber
The court says it was doubtful whether
1t should not have taken steps against the
attorney general for uselessly delaying
justice. While an active threat is not
contained in the language of the decision
there is a dreaded reproof for the attor-
ney general of the state
The case has been in the court for three
years
During the month of October. 1893 con-
stables visited the establishment of An
onia Cantini, a citizen of Italy, and seiz-
ed quantity of liquor upon the pretext
that he was violating the dispensary law
In the seizure of the liquors considerable
damage was done 70 Cantini's premises.
Cantini sought the legal services Of Mai.
Theodore G. Barker and Judge II. l.. p.
Bolger, and an action was brought for
the damages sutalned and was immedi-
ately entered in the United States circuit
court After elaborate arguments by the
attorneys on both sides the jury decided
that the state was responsible for the
damages inflicted, and awarded Cantini
$1,000. Subsequently Attorney General
Barber appealed from the verdict of the
court, and the case went up on a de-
murrer TO the circuit court of appeals
The case was heard on May 8, 1896, At
torney General Barber appearing for the
state, and Maj. Barker for Cantinl.

DENVER TO LIONIZE BRYAN.
Great Ovation to BE Given Him
There on Nov. "a.

There on Nov. "a.
Denver Col, Nov. 11.-When William ].
Bryan reaches Denver Nov. a. he will be
greeted by such an outpouring of the peo-
pie as has never been witnessed west of
the Missouri. The occasion will be made
the opening of the silver campaign of 1900.
Bimetallists of national fame will be here.
An invitation is to be extended to Chair
man Jones, and prominent men of Denver,
regardless of political affiliation, will join
in making Mr.. Bryan feel that he is among
friends who will follow wherever he leads.
The chamber of commerce held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon and another to-
day to complete the arrangements. The
plan is to have Mr.. Bryan speak in a half
dozen halls, and if he can remain over two
days to give a parade in order that all who
cannot hear him may see him. The recep-
ton will be of national significance as
sounding the bugle for the rally four
years hence. All of the large halls of the
city will be opened. 1t is a safe predic-
ton to state that 100000 visitors will be in
rounding towns.
The men who are promoting the recep-
ton are ex-senator N. p. Hill, Senator
Teller, Congressman Shafroth, E. t. JEFF
frey c. S. Thomas. I. M. Patterson, E.
B. Coe and President Steele of the cham
Der of commerce. Realizing that Mr..
Bryan has been fatigued by the campaign
he will be asked only to say a few words
at each meeting to the people of the COM
monwealth that rolled up such large ma
jority for him at the late election.

SYKES NOT INDICTED.
He Once Narrowly Escaped Lynching
As Ravisher.

Columbus, Ga, Nov. lit. j. Sykes
the man charged with attempted criminal
assault on the person of the little daugh-
ter of Geo. w. Crouch last summer, is no
longer under a cloud. The grand jury
passed on the Sykes case to-day and fail
ed to indict him,
The Sykes case is a curious one. He
was a tramp, and when arrested for the
crime and taken before the little girl and
her parents was positively identified. A
rope was around his neck and determined
men were ready to hang him to the near
est tree. One leader of the party, at the
last moment, expressed doubt and man
aged to control the crowd. At the pre-
liminary trial the tramp proved an alibi
by witness whose testimony was unim-
peachable. The testimony as to his
identity seemed equally positive, and he
was bound over. His lawyer succeeded
in making a bond for him and he has
since been working on the Southern road
as brakeman, awaiting the action of the
courts. He was a happy man to-day
when told of the action of the grand jury.

A word to the wise is sufficient Don't
ruin your eyes by cheap glasses. Each
tense should be fitted to each eye sepa-
rately. You cannot get this unless you
process. Nature demands perfect vision.
You cannot get this unless the glasses
you wear are perfect in every respect.
After that is accomplished the next
must fit perfectly in every respect, giving
the wearer comfort and ease. Many
lenses fitted by oculists do not accom-
plish their object on account of misftted
frames. We have made this point a
study and measure every point of the
face SO there can be no mistake.
Bear this in mind. We examine your
eyes free of charge and fit them with
the proper glasses, and you pay no more
than you would buying the same grade
