The case Of the state against r. b. Kei-
Ter, charged with the seduction Of Miss
Florence Marshall. was tried in the su-
perior court of Chatham county several
years ago. The defendant was found gull
ty and sentenced to five years in the pen

5000 pending a motion for new trial.
The case went to the supreme court.
where II has been lingering for a long
time.
News was received in the city yester-
day that the lower court had been affirm
ed by the supreme court. and this means
that Keller will have to pay the penalty
or his bondsmen will have 70 20 down In
their jeans and fork over 5000 cold ca

are unknown al present.
The story Of the crime has been fully

WILL BE No STATE FAIR.
The Agricultural Society Declined
AtInnta's Proposition.


No state fair will be held by the society
this fall. The executive committee held a
lengthy meeting last night and discussed
this question.
Mr. Joseph Thompson Of Atlanta was
present and presented the offer of the
business men Of that city Mr.. Thomp-
son submitted subscription list TO the
amount of s., 300, which had been subscrib-
ed by the business men of Atlanta the
subscriptions to be paid at certain speci-
fee times.
The Atlanta proposition was to turn
this list over to the So
ciety and let ID assume all
further charge of the fair. Atlanta
also offered to furnish the grounds and
buildings, lighting. police and fire protec-
ton and other accessories. An offer by
the railroad to issue coupon tickets during
the fair was also included.
After much discussion the offer was de-
clined The time in which to prepare for
a creditable fair was too short. the com
mittee thought. and besides there being
no guarantee to the Atlanta subscriptions.
the committee was fearful ii might find
itself in an awkward position should any
of the subscribers failed to pay up. The
society will probably endorse the Thorn
asville fair to-day
The committee agreed upon the re-elec-
tion of DR.. Samuel Hape as secretary and

understood to dispose of the contest for

For great many years past Ohio has

For great many years past Ohio has
been in the habit of electing the candidate
of the opposition party the year succeed
ing a Presidential election. Though
naturally Republican state it not in
frequently elects Democratic governor
and a Democratic legislature. Judging
from the past this was the year for flop
over to the Democracy and there are
abundant signs in the returns that there
was an attempt to flop. That it was not
altogether successful appears to be due to
the country districts which stood by the
republicans better than last year, while
the cities fell away. The rise in farm
products has evidently had the effect to
bring back into the Republican fold many
who were coaxed away by the seductive
cry of free silver. In view of the fact that
there was much bad feeling between the
two rival factions in the Republican
party of the state, with considerable
knitting as a consequence, there is moth
ing in the result to show that there h as
been any real loss Of Republican strength
since the last election. The losses in the
cities were more apparent than real, being
largely due to the fact that the Republi :
can vote was swelled far beyond it's
normal amount last year by the votes of
the Gold Democrats. Ohio is not likely to
fall away from the Republican column
when the distinctive party issues are
presented and pressed.

Tammany leading in the poll by $4,000
The cohesive power of plumber held Tam
many together, while rivalry as to who
should be first in the kingdom split the
better element in two and made 1t an
easy prey. Could the support of Low
and Tracy have been perfectly united,
Tammany would have been beaten; but
the bumptiousness Of the leaders of the
Citizens Union and the anxiety of the
Republican managers to keep their or
ganization intact put this out of the
question. Georges death undoubtedly
contributed not little to Tammany' IS
success, by sending back to its ranks
many thousands of voters whose affilia-
tions had always been with it, but whom
Georges peculiar economic views and his
attractive personality had drawn away
For four years past Tammany has been
kept away from the public crib, and
when it gets to it again It's appetite is
sure to be exceedingly yoraoious.. Dur
ing the next four years, therefore, the
minions of Croker will I'LL their stomachs
to overfowing; and the people who will
be forced to contribute to the fe ,st will
get very little sympathy from the outside
world.
The result outside the city is not much
more satisfactory than inside. The Re-
publican vote slumped all over the State,
partly perhaps on account of the bad
weather and partly perhaps because there
were no very important offices to be filed.
The result is that the Tammany vote of
Greater New York defeated the Republi-
can candidate for Juage of the Court of
Appeals, and narrowed the Republican
majority in the Assembly down almost,
il not quite, to the vanishing point.
The Organizes will doubtless undertake
to claim the result as a victory for the
Chicago platform on the strength Of the
election assertions of several promi-
nent Republicans that national issues
were the real issues Of the campaign. but
as the people refused to accept this view
when promulgated by Mr.. Harrison and
Secretary Bliss, they are not
likely to entertain it when vocifer-
ated by Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones.
On the issue of the Chicago platform
New York would go again as it went last
fall. Apathy among the rural Republi-
cans because there was no great princl-
pie at stake, and extreme activity on the
part of Tammany because its starving
adherents scented the spoils sufficiently
and correctly explain the result

Y 1t will prove misfortune if Mr.. Han
mis- Taylor's article in the North Ameri-
can Review creates an impression in Con-
gress that we can interfere even morally
in the Cuban business without incur
ring great risk of becoming involved in a
war with Spain, because we may thus be
drawn into conflict suddenly and with
out sufficient preparation. There are
many Congressman who would be per-
fectly ready to vote for purely moral
interference in Cuba, who would hesitate
a long while to vote for an interference
that meant war. L cannot, therefore, be
too strongly impressed upon all the peo-
pie who may be called upon to deal with
this question, that at this time and under
existing circumstances, any sort of inter
ference is extremely likely to bring on a
war with Spain. The populace of that
country know little about our strength
and resources, and are not merely willing,
but also apparently anxious, for con-
fict with US, and the governing classes
would, very likely, welcome war as the
best way out of their thickening diff
culties

The current number of the Review of
Reviews calls attention to an invention
by Mr.. Edison which involves the prob
lem of separating the iron from the sand
in the low-grade ores which exist in fab
ulous amounts, notably go. in the State
of New Jersey. McClure's Magazine tells
of Edison's patient, laborious work on
this problem-a labor which has extend
ed over eight years, the magnificent ma
chinery he has constructed, and of his
final success. 1t is stated that these de-
posits of iron in the small State of New
Jersey are alone sufficient to supply the
needs of the United States for half a CEN
tury. The task before Mr.. Edison was to
| repeat on a gigantic scale the common
place experiment of drawing particles Of
iron from pile of pulverized magnetic by
| holding a magnet near 1t. To do this he
has constructed great mills and rollers
that literally grind up mountains, and
other instruments that pick out the
| slightest grain of iron ore from this
| mass. The mills at Edison, N. j., con-
tain machinery which will reduce ten
tons of rock to dust every minute.
