a two days session, the Democratic

ed. The main desire of the Democrats

influence each nominee on the Populist
ticket to resign after it is too late for

thusiastic demonstrations since the St

seen the like of to-day. The ''Rebel

ATKINSON BY a5,4O5.
The Georgia Populist Vote Shows a
Falling off of Over 10000.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-The returns 50
far received from Wednesdays election
show that the total Populist vote will
not exceed $4,000. 1t was 95,888 in
1894, showing a decrease of about H.,
900. This falling off is largely attri
buted to the capture of the negro vote
by Governor Atkinson.
In a few sections of the State the
Populist vote was increased. In near
ly every case it was due to the per-
sonal popularity of some Populist
nominee. In Floyd, Wrights home
county, the Populist candidate for
Governor received a majority of 26S
votes. But this was not, in a party
sense, a majority for Populism, since
Gambler, Democratic nominee for Sec
retary of State, defeated Parsons, the
PopuFst nominee by over 800 vote.
In COffey county for the first time
the Populist State ticket was given a
majority and the entire county ticket
elected To offset this, however, TWEEN
ty counties that went Populist in 1894
| rolled up Wednesdays average Demo
cratic majorities. This is true of Camp
| bell, Carroll, ChattahOochee, Clayton
| Dawson, Douglas, Emanuel, Fayettte
Gwinnette, Montgomery, Paulding
Pickens, Pike, Poke, Rockdale, Tat
nall, Taylor, Washington and White.
In large majority of the counties
the votes were consolidated without

One of the features of the election
is that every Congressional district il
the State is Democratic, and will senC
Democratic representatives to the mex
| Congress. The only district in doub
was the tenth. Two years ago in The

THE BOXED BODY
The Mystery UnsoIved and the Body Past
Identification

The Mystery UnsoIved and the Body Past
Identification
CHICAGO. March 2S.-The mystery of
the body found in the box by Carl Haas
and Philip Griess at Austin, Thursday
afternoon, yet remains unsolved. Three
cases of men who have disappeared in the
west have been reported to the authorities
but there seems to be no way of determin-
ing the identity of the body. The cases
are; Oliver Pike, disappeared at Seattle,
WASH. three years ago; an Englishman
employed on ranch near Salt Lake, three
years ago, and Joanes Prosper Chazeal,
disappeared at Salt Lake three years ago.
1t seems unlikely. the police say. that the
body at the morgue is that of Chazeai. The
Frenchman is described as being five feet
eleven inches in height, while the body is
only five feet six inches. The teeth of the
Frenchman were filled with composition
of steel, while the teeth of the cadaver are
sound and without filings.
If the friends of either the uuknwn Eng
lishman or Oliver Pike succeed in identify
ing the body at the morgue bv a scrap of
hair, set of teeth and truss they will
accomplish wonders, for these are the only
things they have to go by. the rest of the
body being past Identification.
Mrs. Theodore Mosher today told Deputy
Coroner McNally the story of Oliver Pike s
disappearance. She said she was at Seattle
at the time. His mother is Mrs. William
Hawes and lives at Fayette, Fulton county.
Ohio. Mrs. Mosher is close friend of the
family and and known young Pike num-
ber of years. She said also the description
of the body as regarde size. weight, hair,
teeth and age were those of Pike. He had
been injured early in life and wore a truss.
He always had plenty of money, she said.
The inquest at the morgue this afternoon
resulted III nothing. After considerable
testimony had been heard it vas adjourned

A NEW CRUISER
The BattIeship Iowa Launched and Allison s
Boom Allied

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S.-The launch
of the battleship Iowa from Cramps ship
yard today partook more of the nature of
a national event than any similar one
since Mrs. Cleveland christened the St.
Louis, nearly Two years ago Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson headed the delegation
from Washington, which included Secre-
tary of the Navy Herbert, Attorney Gem
eral Harmon, Secretary of Agriculture
Morton and large party of senators and
congressman.
The Iowa party was led by Governor
Drake, whose daughter, Mary Lord Drake,
broke the bottle of champagne over the
vessels PROV and gave it its name.
Miss Drake is a handsome blonde, of
commanding figure. She wore a dress of
green plaid with cape of velvet, trimmed
with cninchilla fur, gray toque with gray
aud black plumes and gray silk gloves.
When she baptized the vessel she stood on
little stand raised above the bow plat
form, and on either side of her were Henry
the naval secretary. The launch was
entirely successful. 1t was ex-
actly l 80 o'clock in the afternoon
when the last block was knocked
away and the marine monster began her
brief journey. Following Mr. Cramps in
structions, Miss Drake grasped the be-
ribboned bottle and as the mighty hull be-
it against the prov. The Iowa slipped
gracefully down into the middle of the
stream and the tremendous crowd let out
a mighty roar, while the nearby factories

After the launch there was an informal
luncheon in the mould loft, but no speeches
were made.
The Allison boom was brought to the
front just before the launch, accidentally
or otherwise.
Governor Drake, who was standing on
the little christening platform, called over
the heads of the crowd to Senator Gear,
who presently came along with Senator
Allison and Secretary Herbert. They
pushed their way through to the stand and
then mounted it and faced the throng.
AS soon as Senator Allison appeared on
the elevation the crowd, irrespective of
political creed, burst into applause and
the Iowans lifted their hats. A moment
later they stepped down and mingled with
