currence of the drenching received from
heaven by $500 spectators in 1890, says the
New York Sun. Mayer, who filled the role
of Christ received 1000 marks for forty
performances, and about the same sum
was paid to the leader of the chorus. The

uncovered so that the al fresco Illusion

four villagers elected in the spring, and
which selects the performers for the prin-
cipal roles, will probably offer Mayer the
role of Christ again, but he is likely to
decline it. His beard is silvery, his hair

Atlana, Ga, August 22.-Harry NJ.
Atkinson, president Of the Georgia
Electric Light Company and secretary
OF the Collins Belt Street railway. and
Councilman w. S. Thomson came to
blows On the street here this evening
as a result of Mr.. Thomson's denun-
citation of the Boston man in the u
Gil yesterday. The encounter DOL place
on Alabama street near The Constitu-
tion BUILDING. No very serious damage
was done, due perhaps to the quick IN
reference of passers-by and friends OF
the combatants. Only a few blows
were struck and these were landed by
Mr.. Atchison on Colonel Thomson's
face. Colonel Thomson says Mr.. Atkin-
son struck him before he (Thomson)
knew the latter was near him. Colonel
thomson was knocked to the ground
by the first blow and his face is badly
bruised.
During the day the two men were
looking for each other and Colonel
Thomson armed himself with a heavy
walking stick when he left home this
morning. 1t is believed that friends Of
the combatants will arrange a concilia-
ton between the parties before further
damage is done. Colonel Thomson's
speech yesterday denouncing northern
people and yankees in particular,
has been severely criticised by bust
ness men today as entirely uncalled for,
coming as it did from a citizen OF At
lanta, a city in which much northern
money is invested.

BEATEN IN WHlTECAPS
Consequences OF Appointing "A Negro
Assistant Postmaster


Tampa, Fla, August 22--Editor w.
c. Crum, of The Florida Republican,
was brutally beaten by whitecaps at
Peck last night. He is postmaster at
that place and has been going there at
tending to the mail at night and re-
turning to the city in the morning.
Some weeks ago he appointed Dan Nor
rison, a colored man, his assistant, so
that the office could have a man in
charge all the time.
Morrison was made to give up the
office by a committee of citizens who
are unknown, and Mr.. Crum had to go
out and attend to the Office himself.
Last night after he had completed his
work he started to a house he owns,
a short distance away where he sleeps.
When neal there he was held up on the
road by a mob Of masked men, with
guns, who made him dismount. He
was tied with a rope, hand and foot,
and given a brutal beating. He also
sustained severe bruises about che
head and shoulders from the kicks ad-
ministered by the mob.
After they finished beating him, they
cut off the whiskers from side OF
his face and applied carbolic acid to
the deep gashes on his naked flesh
made by the whipping. Mr.. Crum does
not know who attacked him. The mob
threatened to kill him if he ever ap-
pointed another negro assistant there.
He has closed the Office and will de-
liver no mail to the Peckites and his
resignation has been accepted at Wash

Contest for the Mississippi Governor.
ship

Jackson, Miss, August 22.-The con-
test for the governorship of Mississip-
pi, which is to be decided at the state
convention tomorrow, Is at present in
a very indefinite state. Judge Longino's
chances have Frightened considerably
since morning, and some very enectual
work among the uninstructed delega-
tions vas accomplished by his man
ayers during the day. Several attempts
have been made TO organize a perma-
nent combination among the followers
OF Judge Critz, Major Vardeman and
Judge Powell, but, so far. all have re-
suited in failure, each OF the three
named displaying a very marked in
dependence Of the others. The present
combination holds good only during the
work of organizing the convention and
it will require some very hard work to
hold it together after the chairman fs
named Judge Longino's caucus tonight
was attended by nearly 1000 unin-
structed delegates, and his campaign
is being managed with surprising
smoothness. The present indications
are that the contest will be short and
decisive.

There are as many different sorts Of
tariffs and revenue laws in Europe as
there are countries, and it is as impos-

There is no Europe, but there is an

truction of the Spanish fleet at Manila,

CENTRAL PACIFIC WRECK.
Helper Crashes Into Passenger Train
West of Ogden.

Yesterday morning at 1870 o'clock a
helper engine or the Southern Pacific
crashed into the rear end of the east
bound express at Terrace, Utah, killing
the fireman of the helper, II. A. Schore,
and slightly ~injuring the engineer, Bert
Cave.
When the accident occurred the ex-
press was just taking a siding. The
helper engine coming up through a
heavy fog the engineer could not see
ahead far enough to see the lights in
time to stop on the frosty track and the
crash came. The helper was equipped
with a sharp-pointed snowplough and
the force of the contact drove the en-
CINE almost half way into the rear
sleeper. There were several passengers
in the sleeper but they were uninjured,
their escape being due to the fact that
they were sleeping toward the front
end of the car. When the collision
occurred the fireman vas shoveling
coal into the furnace. The coal in the
tender was thrown forward by the
shock, knocking the fireman against
the boiler and pinning him there. His
face was directly over the steam gauge,
which broke, letting out the hot steam
over the unfortunate mans throat and
face, literally scalding him to death

AMERICAS WORLD CONQUEST.

The Conquest Of the world by the
United States" which a well-known
French publicist has just written about
in a Paris paper, appears to be an ex-
ceedingly live topic in Europe at the
present time. 1t is a little over a year
since Count Goluchowski, the Austrian
minister of foreign affairs, sounded the
alarm in Europe against the incursions
of American commodities. According
to that statesman the old world must
combine commercially against the I'm
tied States II it is to maintain any out
side markets for it's surplus products.
The United States, he declared, in sub
stance, was making inroads N all terri
tory which had hitherto been CONNER
cially tributary to England, France,
Germany, Austria and the rest of Eu-
rope, and the situation demanded the
earnest and immediate attention of the
old worlds statesmen. The wide circu-
lation which Count Goluchowski's
warning received in the press Of France,
Germany, Russia other European
countries showed hat that politician
had struck one of the burning issues Of
the time.
To the Frenchman, however, the dan
ger from American competition is far
more imminent and portentous thai it
appeared to the Austrian to be. Not
only is the United States Selling the
best of the old worlds markets in Asia
and South America, but it is invading
the European countries themselves.
The enemy is already at their own
doors. I'm less than eighteen years.
he declares, American expectations
have tripled. 1t is no more a Napol-
cons conquest of the world by arms.
The Yankees are doing 1t by work. The
United States can ruin Europe CONNER
cially as efectually as if with arms"
Then he goes on to say that " a revolu-
ton in the economic equilibrium of the
globe is being brought about by the
United States. 1t began in the orient
under England's nose, with the intro
duction into China and Japan Of Amer
lean cottons, feathers, machines, tools
and electric motors" OF course the list
of the American goods which are super
seeding European products in Asia, and
ever in the European countries them
selves, would be long. 1t would, If en-
umerated, be a sort Of roll call OF the
most distinctive commodities OF the

The calling of a grand jury by Judge

for a district judge to do, but he now
has the satisfaction of knowing that he
