MONROE NOT GUARDED BY MOB.
story of Threatened Trouble at
bonneville UnfOunded.

Waycross, Ga, May 21.-The report from
bonneville that a negro mob was guarding
VIII Monroe, the negro who murdered
Charley Griffin last Sunday at Cooks tur-
pentine still, near Mixons Ferry, on the
Suwanee river, was evidently based upon
information obtained from young Griffith,
a nephew of the murdered man, and proves
to be erroneous. Win Monroe. though
wounded through his SIDE was carried
away to parts unknown last Sunday night
by several of his associates and nothing
has been heard of him since.
The above facts were obtained last night
from Deputy Sheriff Screven Sweat, who
had just returned from Cooks still. Mr.
Sweat said that everything was perfectly
quiet at the still and had not been other
wise since the tragedy last Sunday The
negroes had been working as usual since
Monday morning and were as peaceabIe
as ever. Mr.. Cook was greatly surprised
TO learn of the rumors which had been
circulated about the condition at his stili
and he denied every word, excepting Sun
days tragedy.

we believe they have been led into error
by the only two persons having d person
al interest In this matter, and their two
or three heelers. We are not willing TO
admit that the people of the Stone Noun
tain circuit have naturally in their hearts
a better appreciation of right and justice
than the people of the Atlantic circuit;
yet, 1t is a fact that the people of the
former circuit have never made any kick
or fight against an Atlanta man holding
the judgeship of their circuit. That cir
cult was made by ohopping the country
counties from the old Atlanta circuit
just as our Atlantic was made by chop
ping the country counties from the Saw
annah or Eastern circuit. The act Great
ing the Atlantic was copied from the act
creating the Stone Mountain. Judge
Richard Clark, an Atlanta man, was elect
ed and reelected judge of the Stone Noun
tain circuit several times.
l remember that while a member of the
legislature / was twice called Upon to help
elect a judge Of that circuit and there was
never any objection made to Judge Clark's
residence in Atlanta. The people of that
little circuit recognized and appreciated the
fact that il was created to help the judge
of Fulton Superior Court in the discharge
of his various duties, just as the Atlantic
was created so that it's judge could and
should assist in discharging the duties of
judge OF the Superior Court of Chatham
AS a general rule the superior courts in
the four counties of the Atlantic circuit
sit little more than two months during the
whole year and the law says: THAT the
judge of said Atlantic circuit, hereby es-
tablished, when the business of said cir
cult does not require his attention, may
aid in the disposition of the business of
the eastern judicial circuit of Georgia."
The legal definition of the word may" in
the above quotation has been so perverted
as to blind the people, but they will find
out its meaning after a while. \
1t is TO be hoped that the chickering's and
animosities of the factional fight that has
been raging in Chatham for several years
viii quiet down in the presence of this
menace to her vital interests.
OF course the home rule party in Effing-
ham viii put out a home rule candidate
for senator, and of course they viii send
home rule delegates TO the senatorial con-
vention, and of course they will ask the
six delegates from Chatham to give Efflng-
ham the senator in order that he may vote
for a home rule man for judge of the At
lantic circuit, In the next Senate.

Trains Race with a Cyclone.
From the New York Times

AOhh tilS view 1OTk Times.
Chicago, May 1S.-Thomas snivelv Of
columbus, O., a passenger on the Union
Pacific train which ran a race for an .bour
with a tornado through Nebraska. relates
his experiences in a highly interesting
manner
1T was theograndest sight I ever saw"
said Mr.. Snively to-day II have had CIV
clones pass over me and under me and
around me, but I never before beat one in
a race. 1t was about 3 O'Clock. twenty
FIVE miles west of Wood River, Neb that
the sky began to darken. 1t became so
dark l could not read. Looking over tbc
prairie to the southwest, 1 saw a black
funnel reaching from a heavy cloud TO

miles away, coming in our direction. ]

meant If it struck that train. Soon every-
body in the train knew what was following
US, and there was almost a panic In our
car.
Between the cyclone and our train
there was hardly a blade of grass TO i'm
pede its progress, and 1t seemed to be
chasing right after US.
Fifteen minutes after the funnel an
peared. it seemed to gain three or four
miles on US, and when We passed through
Wood River 1t did not appear to be half a
mile away. The train was going at great
speed, but our prairie flyer was going fast
err The cyclone was preceded by a gale
that seemed TO be destroying everything in
its path. Flocks of birds could be seen fly
ing ahead Of the funnel. Some of these
came so near the train in their flight that
they struck the window through which
was looking.
I'VE went through the little town of
Wood River like a shot. There was not
person in sight in the town. Evidently
everybody had taken to the storm cellars.
The funnel that had been following us now
seemed to be losing ground and we began
to breathe more freely, but our joy was
short-lived, for the thing soon began 10
creep up on us again. The train seemed TO
increase its speed every foot When we
were some distance from Grand Island the
cyclone fell back and seemed to change its
course to the south. Finally it disappeared
entirely"

GLYNN C0UNTY's VOTE.
No Doubt That 1t VIII BE Instructed
for Atkinson.


Brunswick, Ca, May 21.-Efforts have
been made in certain newspapers to create
a doubt in the public's mind as to how
Glynn county's vote will go in the guber-
material convention. There Is not a partl-
Gle of doubt that Glynn's vote win so 10
Judge Atkinson. If it had not been for the
fact that there is a hard local fight on for
county officers there would have never
been even the semblance of foundation
for statements that Judge Atkinson has
opposition in his home county. AS 1t is
there is a local factional fight. and the
lines are being drawn very closely. Every
Office that is being contested for has men
on each side hurrahing for their candidate,
but there is not behind the opponents of
Judge Atkinson the strength which is
given other supporters of the Good Gov
eminent Club an organization which is
championing Col. Gamblers cause. 1t is
generally recognized here that Glynn's
vote Will go for Judge Atkinson, and sur
face indications to the contrary, while
serving certain purposes ordinarily will In
this instance prove unreliable. on June
6 there will be two primaries held in Glynn
county. At one the supporters of the
Good Government Club will vote At the
other all supporters of the administration,
both city and county, win vote. Both sides
claim that they are in the Democratic
party, and both win go before the state
convention on that line. Two primaries
have been held in Glynn for county officers
and resulted in the administration side
polling the greatest vote by a large ma
jority. It is this strength which Is behind
Judge Atkinson in this county, and he will

A WONDERFUL CASE.
The Happy Restoration to Health OF
"a bright Little Child on Whom
the Hand of Death Had Been Laid.

The powers of melicine the wonders Of
electricity and the saving qualities of a
physician well versed 10 the art of diagnOs-
ing and treating disease are daily demon
strated by the many wonderful cures per-
formed at the Abbo Institute.
This medical haven of refuge for the
afflicted is equipped with all of the finest
and latest inventions in surgical medical
and electro therepuetisal Instruments and
appliances and no disease is known that
cannot be cured or al least the condition of
the sufferer ameloratod Hundreds Of per-
sons who were for years sufferers from
some malady or complaint that bafiled all
other physicians and treatment are to-day
healthy and happy living testimonials Of
Abbo's skill and the wonderful curative
powers of his system Of treatment which,
in many cases, is as mysterious as it is
wonderful and eficacious.
The most recent case coming under the
notice of the public is that of the mar
Vicious recovery of little George Ennis, the
6-year-old son of A NJ Ennis. engineer on
the Central railroad. For a long time this
little boy had been a sufferer from con-
sumption of the bowels and his parents
sadly watched his steady decline, that all
the medical assistance they sought was
unable to check 20 the slightest degrees.
Finally, the Abbo Institute was sought
and the little fellow placed under its care.
Emaciated, as he was with the hands of
death almost grasping him, the little fell
low was accepted as a patient by DR..
Abbo and the treatment for such cases
known and used only by Abbo, was APP
Piled Before the worried parents could
hardly realize the fact their loved one was
fast on the way to recovery and with joy
ful hearts they daily watched his rapid
gain in strength.
After less than four months the little
fellow was turned over to his parents per-
manently cured of the distressing com
plant from which he had suffered so much
and which came so near ending his young
life.
The joy Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ennis at his
happy recovery were plainly manifested
by the thanks and praise that they show
cred upon the Abbo Institute, and their
unsolicited offer to make public testimo-
NAL of the wonderful effect of the Abbo
treatment and medicines upon their son.
AS the publications of testimonials are
many times met with the charge that the
names used are fraudulent, the Abbo In
stitute, instead of publishing any at this
time prefers to merely refer any one in
terested to Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Ennis,
whose residence is a SOB West Ninth street,

WAR TOPICS AT TAMPA.
Present War Very Different From
the One Between the States.

the One Between the States.
Tampa, Fla, May 2l.-In some respects
the present war Is entirely different from
any previous one with which the present
generation has any personal knowledge;
and the one marked feature is the con-
slant Change" that is seen on the face
of nearly every movement.
OF course, old soldiers understand to some
extent what this means, but to people
oUside Of army and navy circles it is
puzzle They cannot, for instance, under
stand why troops for Cuba are brought
into Tampa and then carried away again
some times back to the original starting
place. Why regular army soldiers are
brought across the continent from Cali
fornia only to be sent back again within
a month. Nor why five or six. or more
companies of Florida state troops are
massed in Tampa and then ordered back
home.
Stranger stiu, to some, Is the mounting
of big guns on the St. Johns river, at the
st. Augustine, Brunswick and other points
only TO Immediately dismount them and
ship them by rail TO Tampa To the out
slders all this looks like a lack Of system
in direct opposition to an economical con-
duct of public affairs even In war times

How 1t Feels to Be Asphyxiated.

In q recent issue of the San Francis
co Mining and Scientific Press, Philip
Rearden, Abbott quicksilver mining
company, Sulphur Creek, California.
narrates his experience as follows:
have lately had some experience
with mine gases, which came very near
being fatal. In our mine we sometimes
have to contend with sulph n.y.
drogen, chlorine gas, arbonic acid
gas. and marsh gas, sometimes called
fire damp; and lately have had all
these to contend with at the same time
and place. We had struck the ledge,
finding, in addition to these gases, some
petroleum, with heavy flow OF water,
equal to about four miners inches,
when we were driven out of the tunnel
by the excess OF sulphuric .acid gas,
called by our miners sore eye gas,
owing to the fact that it affects the
eyes 80 that the men are temporarily
blind, and suffer great pain while the
eyes are affected.
We had discontinued work tempora-
rily, while preparing to put in artificial
ventilation. I and my brother went
in Ito examine the tunnel. He
had stopped to look at something about
two hundred and fifty feet from the
breast, carefully trying for carbonic
acid gas along the floor with q candle,
also along the roof .of the tunnel for
marsh Tor inflsmmable) gas. 1 found
neither with the light, but within 8
