aware that within the radius of bloch of
a narrow street over twenty different
languages are spoken, and eight of these
languages are classed as Oriental.
It proved to be well worth visiting this
block where conventions did not appear to
hamper. yet where good will and neigh,

The Newspaper Man Chosen Mayor
Ofthe City of fAugusta
Yesterday.
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT
Only One Fight-How the Candidates Stand.
Walsh Men Have a Grand Demon
stratiOn- Days Incidents.

Augusta, Dec. 1.-Patrick Walsh was
elected mayor of Augusta today by 30C
plurality. Kerr was second and Dun
bar third.
To Augustus credit there was not a
disturbance of any character to mar
the uncertainty of the day.
Everybody is wearing Walsh's red
badges and are parading the streets
with brooms, Justify cheering for his
splendid victory, which was won in
opposition to the entire city admins
tration.
The Walsh forces were hrst at the
polls. The negroes stood in solid
phalanx all night at the polls and
camp fires were built in the streets to
keep them warm.
In the second ward, Jake Phinizy !;
in the third, Thomas Barrett, Jr.; in
the fourth, George r. Lombard; in
hte fifth, w. Fl. Lougee, were elected
cOuncilmen without opposition. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 will be spent on
the election. The Walsh forces had
the largest money bag.
The result was celebrated with a
grand demonstration tonight. Mr..
Walsh has only to say, 81 am elected" )"
The only fight of today occurred this
afternoon when Candidate Dunbar
caught negro trying to influence one
of his race to vote for Walsh in the
first ward. Mr.. Dunbar beat the
negro with his one arm several times
and several people pursued the negro
and assaulted him, causing blood to
flow.
This has been the bitterest election
ever held in Augusta. 1t has divided
families and friends. Att polls to-
day fathers voted against sons and
brothers against brothers.

Did Much Toward Building Up the
Resources of That State.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Col. w. D.

at the Garfield hospital in this city for

candidate.
Colonel Chiplcy was man of wealth
and noted for philanthropy. He came

provements being made by the govern
ment in the magnificent hsrbor of

treatment. His family, consisting of
a wife and five children, have been at
his bedside for nearly week past.

HOPKINS BILL GOES TO PASSAGE.
The MOBILES Case Causes the Introduction of
Bill AbOlishing Capital Punishment
in Cases Of Females.

Atlanta, Dec. 1.-The house practi-
cally declared its position on peni.
tentiary reform by voting in favor of
the establishment of a state farm for
women, juvenile, and feeble convicts,
and the lease Of all ablebodied con-
Vlcts. Italso declared for state super
vision of misdemeanor convicts, which
are now entirely in the control of
county authorities.
The house passed a resolution to APP
point joint committee to Investigate
the fees from building and loan asso-
Citations which were appropriated by
the late State Treasurer Hardeman.
The original resolution charged a
shortage, but the resolution adopted
leaves that question open.
The house unanimously adopted a
resolution thanking the Sandersville
Herald for the only kind words any
newspaper had said about the legisla-
ture since it assembled.
The senate by vote of 20 to II
passed the Hopkins bill to submit to
the people constitutional amendment
providing for the election of judges
and solicitors of the superior court by

The Murderer of Guldensuppe Com
posed and His AcoOmplice
Weeps.
MRS. NACK'S TRIAL NEXT WEEK
Will Plead Guilty to Manslaughter, Which
Will Be Accepted By the State.
Lawyers Talk.

New York, Dec. MARTIN Thorn.
who last evening heard the verdict of
the jury which will send him to the
electric chair to expiate the murder of
Guldensuppe, passed quiet night in
his cell at the Queens county Jail.
When Sheriff Doht went to see Thorn
this morning the condemned prisoner
said he had no appetite for breakfast,
but felt that big load was off his
mind. Thorn did not talk as if he had
hope of getting new trial. He sup
posed, he said. he would have TO make
up his mind to meet the worst.
Mrs. Mack spent restless night,
being evidently much affected by the
conviction of Thorn. When she heard
the verdict she wept and expressed
sorrow for her former lover, although
she says her conscience is relieved.
Mrs. Mack is in a highly nervous con-
ditiOn and ia now very anxious about
her case. District Attorney Youngs
has not announced what he proposes
doing in the case of Mrs. Mack, but
says he will take no action until after
Thorn is sentenced. 1t is understood
Mrs. Mack will be arraigned in court
next week, when Counsel Friend will
IN her behalf enter a plea of guilty of
manslaughter in the first degree, and
that the district attorney will accept
the plea. In doing this Mr.. Youngs
would be recognizing Mrs. Nack's ac-
tion in turning states evidence at the
first trial. Mrs. Mack may be SEN
fenced to twenty years. imprisonment.
Lawyer Howe today denied in strong
terms the statement chat Thorn, after
conviction yesterday, confessed to the
killing and dismemberment of Gulden-
suppe. Mr.. Howe reiterated his belief
that the court of appeals would re-
verse the verdict.
Police Captain Melvin of LongTsland
City said today.
"There are some discrepancies in the
published report of Thorn's confession,
but the n ain facts remain unchanged.
Thorn made, in part, confession to
me and in part to Sheriff Doht. From
what Sheriff Doht told me L can truth
fully say that Thorn confessed that he
killed Guldensuppe."

PREACHERS IN A ROW.
Unseemly Quarrel at the South Georgia
Methodist Conference.

Savannah, Dec. 1.-The south GeOr-
gia Conference opened here this morn
ing by Holy Communion, administered
by Bishop Joseph S. Kay, OF Texas.
A hot controversy was caused be-
tween DIR. McGhee of TalbOtton and
DR.. Huckabee of Camilla about a
circular that had been issued by the
latter and which attacked the former.
DR.. McGhee was alluded to as "King
Saul" He did not like it, and rose to
a point of personal privilege. He be-
came so personal that Rev. A. ri. Will
liams of this city tried to call him
down.
The circular was about something
that had happened four years ago.
Rev. McGhee said that his character
had been passed upon satisfactorily
since then, and he said that this was
to prevent his going to the general
conference at Baltimore.
