LAURA PEARL LEMONS LOVE.
The Negro Who Claims to Be Her
Husband Goes to Law.

The Negro Who Claims to Be Her
Husband Goes to Law.
Atlanta, Ga, March SO.-Attorney w. c.
Flake filed petition in the Office of the
ordinary to-day, which brings forward
rather remarkable story.
Mr.. Flake represents Rev. Benjamin
Powell. a negro preacher, and the pur-
pose Of his petition is 10 require the ordi-
nary 10 record a marriage certificate hy
virtue of which he claims to have been
made the lawful husband of a colored
damsel, known in the best circles of col
Ored society as Laura Pearl Lemon.
The bride, however, denies that she is
married to the Rev Powell and also
brings forward the reverend Thomas
jefferson, another colored divine, who APP
pears in the certificate as having per
formed the ceremony to support her de-
NAL by declaring that he did not perform
the marriage, although the certificate
shows that he did.
According to Powell's tale of Woe he
and the Lemon girl were in love, but her
parents objected, and they were secretly
married by Jefferson. After the marriage
he returned to the flock over which he
presides at Summertown, out in the coun-
try, and she was to follow him later on.
Her parents, meantime, discovered the
marriage and the hapless bridegroom de-
clares, brought pressure to bear upon the
Rev. Thomas Jefferson TO induce him to
repudiate the ceremony which he had per-
formed, and also forced the girl to re-
nounce him for another fellow. This other
fellow, the anxious groom declares, is the
whole trouble. He wants TO marry his
bride, and she appears to be willing 70
take him, and so all have conspired TO
prove the ceremony that gave the girl TO
him a fake.
Rev jefferson, several days ago, went
TO the ordinary's office and stated that he
had never performed the ceremony,
though his name was attached TO the GER
tificate. and upon this the ordinary
refused TO allow the certificate
TO be recorded. But Powell sWears
that he is married. and that the certificate
shall be recorded and Laura Pearl Lemon
made his legal wife, and to accomplish
this he is taking up extra collections in
his flock TO hire lawyers.

He Claims 10 Have Violated the Law
Through Ignorance.

Atlanta. Ga, March SO.-Frank Berry
hill, Milton county farmer. is in Fulton
county jail on the charge of blgamy.
Berryhill admits that he has two living
wives, but denies that he has wilfully
committed a crime.
He was arrested at his home last night,
and reached Atlanta this morning.
The warrant for Berryhill was sworn
out by the first Mrs. Berryhill, whose
maiden name was Ziliann Perkins.
Mrs. Berryhill No. was Leila Sweat, a
young Atlanta girl, who, for more than a
year, has been living with the man now
charged with being a bigamist
Berryhill says he was only 10 years old
when he contracted marriage with Zilliann
Perkins. and she was some eight of ten
years his senior. One day Mrs. Berryhill
left home. She wrote letter saying she
was tired of living with him and had decid-
ed to go away. 1t was afterwards report
ed that she had left the country with an
other man.
After Zilliann left Berryhill says he did
not know there would be any harm in
marrying again. but kept single for about
nine years. on Oct H. 1895, he married
Leila Sweat in this city, and they have
been living together on a farm in Milton
county.
Berryhill can neither read nor write, and
his clothes do not indicate that he is very
prosperous.

Columbus, Ca, March 3O.--Two sensa-
tional suits have been filed in the superior
court by the heirs of Miss S. J. Salisbury
against the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York The suits are for the
face value of policies for $4,000 and $4,000
damages, and $1,000 attorneys fees.
Two premiums had been paid on policies
amounting to a little over $4,000. Miss
Salisbury died in Thomaston on Nov. 30
last year and on the same day second
premium was paid in this city
Proofs of death were forwarded IN De-
cember, together with the two policies,
the benehciaries presuming there would be
no contest over the payment. They have
since been unable to get the company to
return the policies or to take steps to pay
the same.
They learned that the company had sent
representatives here who had secured de-
tectives to try to get evidence of fraud
The beneficiaries feared the local agency
would be discontinued, which FASTENED
the suit
To-day they received notice from the
company that the policies had been can
elled with an offer to return the premiums
but the Columbus banks refused to cash a
check for the purpose. The offer will
be declined tomorrow. when the money
is expected by express from Atlanta.

LOOKS sQUALLY FOR VEAL.
Damaging Testimony Given Against
the Inspector.

the Inspector.
Atlanta, Ga, March 3O-The investiga-
ton of the charges against Chief Sanitary
Inspector Veal this afternoon brought out
some testimony of a much more damaging
nature than anything touched upon yes
terday, and things are beginning to look
squally for the head OF the sanitary de-
partment.
One of the witnesses to-day testified
that Veal had refused to buy a certain
horse from him, but when an hour later
he traded the animal to Marcks a man
with whom, it is alleged, he was doing his
crooked business. Veal bought it from
him at $50 more than it was offered to
him by Jordan, the witness. The infer
ence was that Veal and Marcks divided
the $50.
Another witness told how Veal had
boosted that he refused an offer from the
Consolidated Street Railway Company of
an increase in salary of $500, saying that
it was not always the fellow who ap-
peared to be getting the most salary who
really made the most out of his job.
A former employe testified that Veal
sent a buggy belonging TO the lady clerk
in his office to the city shops and had it
overhauled for her Veal also cautioned
him about making any remarks about
conduct toward her, that she was a nice
girl and 1t would not do to have any Cos
sip about her.
other witnesses testified that Veal had
his horses fed and shod at the city's ex-
pense and that his brother-in-law, whom
he appointed to a position, also had his
horses fattening off the city's provender.

a RnVvhide-The Sufferer Quickly
GETS in Right Hand swing That
Hacks His AssniIants Eye-POlice
and Curtain.
Atlanta. Ga. March 30-City Marshal
welborn Hill, DR.. Hugh Hagan, one of the
best known physicians in the city, and
Sam Walker, the proprietor of picture
and frame store on PeachtTee street, were
the principals in a very lively three-cor-
nered fight this afternoon.
Mr.. Hill was the aggressor, with Dr. Ha-
gan as his second, and the weapon he
used in his attack upon Mr.. Walker was
a cowhide With this he succeeded in
getting one bow across Mr.. Walkers face
before that gentleman had time to put
himself into action.
When Mr.. Walker did get his bearings
he replied to the attack with a right
swing on the city marshars eye, which
draped it in mourning.
This caused DIR. Hagan TO come to the
assistance OF his friend ana he jumped on
Mr.. Walker and bore him to the floor of
Walkers store. where the fight took place.
At this interesting stage of the melee,
Mr. Walkers brother made his appear
ance with a chunk of picture framing in
his hand and with this he sailed into DR..
Hagan, cracking him on the back of the
head with it.
Then a policeman appeared and put
stop to further hostilties.
None of the participants were seriously
hurt, but all bear appropriate marks of the
fray.
The fight was the outcome of alleged in
suiting remarks made by Mr.. Walker to
Mrs. Hill, wife of the marshal Mrs. Hill
had taken some work to MIR. Walkers
place to be done.
In his statement of the matter Mr.. Wal
ker says he told the lady that he was
afraid he could not do the job just as she
wanted it done. When she returned for
it he had not finished it, and she became
angry. She insisted that he ought to
have told her that he could not do the
work as she wanted, and he declared that
he had done so. Mrs HILL Mr.. Walker
says, then told him that he was no gem
tleman and left the store declaring she
was going to tell her husband about his
conduct. She evidently carried out her
threat
Mr.. Walker stated that he had no notice
that Mr.. Hill was in the room or about to
attack him until he was struck with the
whip.
All the parties will appear in the police
court tomorrow.
