ATLANTA SENSATION.
A Society Young Man in Jail, on
Charge of Highway Robbery.

Society Young Man in Jail, on u
Charge of Highway Robbery.
Atlanta, Ga, May 11.-Fredefick Jack
son Cunningham, a young man of high
social standing. is in prison here tonight
charged with highway robbery and as
sault with intent to kill Last Saturday
he staggered into police station in West
End, fashionable Atlanta suburb, near
which he resides, and with blood drip
ping from two bullet holes in his body,
told story of having been held up by
highwaymen a few moments before. His
account of the affair was entered on the
police blotter.
Shortly after Cunningham had left the
police station on Saturday, Charles A.
Stanford, a prosperous merchant came in
with his clothes all bloody and told a
similar story of having been held up by
highwaynen. The police sent him home
in a patrol wagon and small army of
detectives was put to work on the case.
Highway robberies in that section of
the city have been very frequent of late.
On Sunday the police took Stanford to the
residence of Cunningham with a view
to getting from them as near as possible
a description of their assailants, neither
of them having been able to do that be-
fore. When Stanford saw Cunningham
he said that the police need hook no fur
Their for the man who had shot him. He
said that Cunningham himself was the
culprit He was positive of this, not only
because of the young mans personal ap-
pearance, ibut because of the location of
his wound He said that he had been
approached by the robbers from behind,
and when they attacked him he shot the
one nearest him twice under the arm
The mans companion had shot Stanford
and both had then run away. Cunning
ham did not lose his nerve during this
startling announcement, but denied the
accusation against him with vigor The
police were both astounded and mystified,
but later made a search of theaground on
which the shooting was alleged to have
taken place and found a hat mark bear
ing Cunninghams initials lying in the
mud. They then placed Cunningham

Universal Postal Congress.

Washington, May 10.-There were two
significant features of today's develop
ments of the universal postal congress.
The first was the positive announcement
from the Corean minister here, Mr.. Chin
Pom Ye, that the little kingdom would
join the union, and the second decision
that was reached after a long discussion
to reduce the rates of international pos
tai orders on a sliding scale basis after
There is some doubt now as to China s
joining the union, though its delegates are
in attendance The Orange Free State
also has not been heard from.
A scheme is being urged and may be
submitted to this congress, providing for
international telegraphic service at the
postoffices of some of the leading cities
of the various countries.

peny, which went to the rescue of the
passengers aboard the Leona. of the Nal
lOry line, off the Delaware canes. arrived

Captain HI. G. Daggett says about
o'clock Sunday morning he was awakened
by Second Mate Daggett, who asked him
to come to the pilot house and take a look
at a ship which he had sighted and which
was acting strangely.
Captain Daggett took look at the shin
and declared at once that it was on fire,
and ordered the City of Augusta to put
about and approach the Leona.
He hailed the captain of the Leona
and told him he had come to give any
assistance he might be commanded to do.
For Gods sake, take my passengers,
shouted the captain of the Leona, and a
boat with First Mate Frank Bogart and
Second Mate Daggett went aboard to
bring the passengers from the Leona to
the decks of the City of Augusta.
Captain Daggett says too much praise
can not be given the officers of the burned
vessel for their heroic struggle to extin-
guish the flames He says the bolts of
the ship were red hot and the paint was
falling in huge flakes from her side. The
City of Augusta was delayed six hours
remaining at the side of the burning YES
sci until II O'Clock Sunday.
Captain Daggett was given congratula-
tory testimonials by the passengers of the
ship before arriving in Savannah.

This afternoon Judge William Jefferson

Judge Jones was born in Caroline coun
ty, Pennsylvania, in September 1870 He
came to Texas early in the Dos, and lived
in this state continuously since.
For the past six years Judge Jones
health had been such as to prevent his 60
ing out much, and the last year he had
lived pretty much in the house. On Sat-
urday last the Judge was feeling better
than in some time. AT noon he said he
would take his dinner in his room. A few
minutes after noise was heard, and the
family found that the judge, in attempt
ing to walk across the floor unassisted, had
fallen. The right hip had been dislo-
Gated. Judge Jones did not complain OF
pain, and was conscious up to last even
ing. The death was painless and like. q:
child going to sleep. The interment WIN
be at the old family homestead, Virginia
Point, this being as Judge Jones often. re-
quested.
Under President Lamar Judge Jones
was a major, and took 0 prominent part
in the COmanche wars. Later he WIS apr
pointed by Lamar on the bench, of the SUI
preme court Of Texas. He was senior
associate with Chief Justice Rusk. After
leaving the bench, Jones returned to hisl
home in Colorado county. where he re-.
sumed the practice of law. At the out
break of the Civil war Jones was living
at Virginia Point, which. during the war;.
was used largely as hospital camp by the
confederate troops. This death removes
the last of the supreme court justices of
the Republic Of Texas.

THE R0MEYN vERDTCT.
1t Will Not Fully Acquit, Though in
Large Measure Vindicate

LarSe measure S1n01cate.
Memphis, May "a special to the
Commercial-Appeal from Atlanta, Ga,
says: r
Capt. Henry Romeyn will not be fully
acquitted by the courtmartial which sat
on his case a week ago. He receives a
reprimand for unsoldierly and ungentle-
manly conduct for his behavior on the
parade ground in knocking down Lieut..
O'Brien. The courtmartial practically
vindicates him on the other charges,
holding that the current criticism Of Mrs.
OBrien's conduct was such as to justify
the structures that he passed on it. The
members of the courtmartial were prac-
tically agreed before the conclusion of
the session as to the verdict, but hest
tated over what terms to employ in eX-
pressing it. They felt that leniency was
due the accused for his loyal service to
the country, extending over q period of
thirty-four years, and now that he is to
retire in four weeks they did not wish to
cast any more serious reflection on his
fair record than this. There will be no
immediate trial of the charges brought
by the captain against Lieuts. Bamford
and O'Brien, as the department believes
that personal spite largely influenced
Capt. Romeyn in preferriDg them. The
latter will have the right, on retiring, of
appealing these charges direct to the de-
partment of the adjutant general at
Washington, ana declares his intention of
so doing.

Relieved at Prospect OF P~aee.

London, May 11.-Up to the present
there is no sign of revolution or a def
mite anti-dynasty movement at Athens
The people appear to be relieved at the
prospect of mediation and will be only
too glad to see peace restored. The,
powers are using their influence to per-
suade Turkey to cease hostilities, though
there are some doubts as to whether
they will succeed. The reports that
fighting has occurred today at Domokos'
and Almyros are not confirmed.
M. Ralli, in the course of an interview
at Athens this aftrnoon, intimated that
the acquiescence of Greece in the condi-
tions proposed by the powers was due to
key to retain an inch of Greek territory
