BY STORM
ENGLISH FLEET WAS NOT IL.
LUMINED PROMPTLY AS Sc
WERE STORM DROVE SIGHT.
SEERS IN PANIC TO SHELTER

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 16.-Thousands OF
persons who were expectantly awaiting
the illumination OF the English fleet or
Spithead tonight not only were disap-
pointed but were drenched and bedrag-
gled by a thunder storm, and rainfall OF
almost phenomenal suddenness. and vio-
lence.
The storm broke just as the signal for
the illumination was given, and the crowds
ashore and afoat stampeded for shelter.
There was no lingering to await the
possibility of the lifting of the shroud OF
mist.
After a storm Of hours duration, which
delayed the illumination, which was wit
messed by thousands, a rocket was sent up
by the royal yacht and a moment later the
dim outline Of the Yacht burst out in
thousands of incandescent lights. This
was the signal for the hundreds Of other
ships and as if by magic the entire fleet
was Illuminated in a great blaze Of light.
The sudden change from dusky shadows
Of battleships to one Of electric brillianoF
had a startling effect on the crowds al
they made manifest their delight By
rounds of cheers.
The lines Of the tunnels, masts and up
per decks of the ships were outlined IN
mellow, glowing lines and the fiagships
by clear. pale light, mast high. The brill

After an hours display the incandescent
bulbs on the ships were extinguished and
were succeeded by a gorgeous display OF

clouds of steam exhausted from the fun-

.ife's lnfidelity
Cost Her $500

PARIS, Aug. ia curious case has
lust been brought before the Paris di-
vorce court. M. Baudin, minister of pub
lie works, in the Waldeck-Rousseau cab
met, sued his wife for divorce. The wife
replied by a demand for a separation The
decree was in that respectful form which
characterizes the French judiciary.
Both won their cases, NJ. Baudin get
ting a divorce and his wife a separation.
Breaches of the seventh commandment in
Paris may cost life, for the French law
recognizes the right of a husband or wife
to kill the offending party and the ac-
complice caught in flagrante delicto. But
when such an affair comes before the
courts as a criminal offense, the penalty
is far lighter. Sometimes it is months in
prison and a heavy fine, but generally a
week of solitary confinement is deemed
sufficient.
Not till this week, however, has a penalty
so small as 16f $500 been inflicted upon
an erring wife. Her accompice was ac-
quilted because he had not known that his
Dulcinea was married.

Angered because he saw him fearfully
beating his aunt, Thomas Overly, 10
years old, this morning shot and painfully
wounded George w. Bundy, who boarded
at the house where the shooting occurred,

petty jealousy.

Bundy that she had to be sent to the
hospital Another lady in the house was
also fearfully beaten before the boy came
pIuckily to the rescue of the women with
the pistol which he repeatedly snapped at
Bundy before and after 1t had fired

VETS HAVE FEAST Of
REAS0NANDFL0W
Of SOUL
REUNION AT M'RAE ONE OF THE
MOST ENJOYABLE GATHERINGS
TELFAIR COUNTY HAS
EVER KNOWN.

McRAE. Ca, Aug. 16.-Yesterday wit
messed one OF the greatest gatherings in
the history of McRae in the reunion OF the
Confederate veterans.
At 10 o'clock the veterans were met at
court house by a committee Of young la
dies who pinned on the badges of honor
and welcome. After this they marched
TO the park, where the commander. Col.
WHY Williams. the speakers. the distin-
guished guests and the members Of the
committees were seated on the band
stand.
. After music and prayer by Rev. W. A.
Huckabee. for the blessings OF the AL
mighty on the occasion, Colonel WHY
Williams introduced Prof. o. +. McRae,
who. in behalf OF McRae and Helena, well
coined the veterans and visitors to the
town.
Judge Roberts was next introduced who
responded TO Professor AIcRae's welcome
in a very effective manner.
The next speaker was Prof. Z. A. Pound,
OF Waycross. who spoke 45 minutes In
eloquent and convincing language vindi-
eating the action Of the brave veterans
who wore the gray.
The closing speech OF the occasion was
made by Col. F. ID. Graham, Of McRae.
Colonel Graham dealt with causes which
led to secession and the principles for
which the sons OF the south struggled four
long years in unequal bloody battle.
He contended with the unanswerable ar
guments that the cause In which the Con-
federate veterans fought was a just and
constitutional cause and one for which
sons and daughters should make no ex-
cuse, but should proudly defend by all the
nations history before the war, and for
which full vindication is found in sub
sequent events and conditions.
When the feast Of eloquence was over
the veterans and visitors numbering be-
tween two and three thousand, gathered
around well-laden tables OF barbecued
meats and other viands and delicacies pre-
pared by the noble women for the &C.
casion.

FREEMAN WILL Be.
RELEASED, SAYS
CALLAHAN

Gov. Gambler Thursday night received q
telegram from J. W. Callahan, the own
er Of the convict camp in Early county
where Convict Freeman Is being Illegally
detained. saying that he had never re-
ceived any authority to release Freeman.
and that he was perfectly willing to free
the man upon authority.
Governor Gambler said he was at loss
to understand this dispatch, but added
that he had not replied to 1t, as Warden
Moore had probably already arrived at the
camp with a certified copy Of Freeman's
pardon.
NO OFFICIAL NOTICE
YET FROM GAMBLER
SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug 81. W. Gala
han, the well known turpentine operator,
of cambridge, was very much astonished
this morning when he arrived in Savan-
nah from New York. where he has been
for some days past, to learn that he had
been summoned, along with the county
commissioners of Montgomery county, to
explain why a white chain-gang convict,
w. r. Freeman, recently pardoned by
the governor, has not been released from
Mr.. Callahan's turpentine farm where he
has been. at work for about nine months.
But so far as Lessee Callahan is con-
cerned, the governor appears to have been
decidedly misinformed. Not only is Mr..
Callahan not endeavoring to keep Free
man. but he has tried in every way TO get.
rid of him legally and honor the govern
or's pardon.
The trouble seems to be that, up to
date, Mr.. Callahan has been unable to get
hold of any legal authority for turning
Freeman loose.
II cannot turn a convict loose on the
strength Of newspaper reports that he has
been pardOned," said Mr.. Callahan- this
morning. There is a proper and legal
way to do 1t. and have been willing from
the first announcement of the mans par
don to give him his liberty, without being
REIN bursed for what I have paid for his
services, as soon as the papers arrived.
CAS- 1 understood my duties as lessee I
have no authority to give the convict his
liberty until duly notified by the proper
authorities. If the authorities do not send
on the papers I am not responsible. There
has never been the slightest desire or in
tention on my part. or that of my rep
resentatives, to hold this man illegally or
detain him one moment after properly no
titled to set him free. Unfortunately, the
newspapers, notlbeing acquainted with the
facts, have done me a considerable injus-
tice."
''Will you appear in Atlanta?"
Certainly, unless the governor, when
he becomes acquainted with the exact
facts, advises me that it is unnecessary.
have absolutely nothing to conceal in the
matter and nothing to make me afraid.
