OBITUARY..


Athens, Ga, Oct. 16.-The remains of
MIR. Richard w. Sage, who died in At
lanta yesterday morning at an ad
vanced age, were inferred to-day in
Oconee Cemetery in this CITY,
Mr.. Sage was a member of the Troup
Artillery during the war between the
states and at the battle of Fredericks-
burg performed a feat of daring. The
battery was in action. A shell from
the guns of the enemy fell on top of
the breastworks behind which the men
of the Troup Artillery were fighting.
and as it hit the ground it was seen
that the fuse was still burning. In a
moment it was certain that the shell
would explode, and there were three or
four members of the battery who were
so close to it that death was certain to
them when the shell exploded.
Mr.. Sage saw the burning fuse, and
it took him only moment to deter
mine what he would do. He sprang
upon the breastworks, seized the burn
ing shell in his hands and threw it as
far from him as he could.
Just as the shell left his hands ii
exploded and scattered dirt all over the
men who were by his side, as we'll as
himself. A moment later and all of
them would have been killed, and as
it was he took his life absolutely in
his hands when he seized the burning
shell. This act of bravery endeared him
very much to his comrades, and they
always held him in the highest love and
esteem Large numbers of his old COM
pany attended his funeral in this city
to-day.

c. S. Morris of the Abyssinian A. M.
E. Church of Manhatt an. At the end
of DIR. Rabbits remarks a resolution
was passed that the convention rise
and sing the doxology in testimony of
it's gratitude to Almighty God for the
creation of such a man as DR.. Bah
bitt The resolution was adopted and
complied with.
After the meeting DR.. Babbitt was
asked regarding an affidavit which he
sent last Tuesday to Attorney General
H. H. Ward of Delaware regarding the
Wilmington lynching of last June. DR..
Rabbit said that he spent several
days in Wilmington Immediately after
the lynching Investigations it, and
discovered much evidence which SEEM
ed to him of value enough, he is sure,
to have convicted at least two MEM
bers of the mob.
In August, he said, he had had a
talk with Chief Justice Lore of Della
ware and received assurances that the
lynchers would be tried and that there
was no doubt of the conviction of
some of them. He heard, while in
Washington late last week, that the
prosecution was likely to fall through
and wrote to Attorney General Ward,
offering his own evidence. He followed
this offer with a special delivery letter
mailed Tuesday, containing an affida-
Wit and adding that he could be in
Wilmington, ready to testify before the
grand Jury, at Bill CLOCK Wednesday
afternoon. On his arrival in Whining
ton he found that the grand jury had
dismissed the matter without waiting
to hear him.

Negro Women are Dead.
Atlanta, Oct. 17.-As a result of a fire
in the Grady Hospital, the largest in
the city, two negro women died, and

from the main hospital was destroyed.
There were twenty negro men
and twelve negro women
in this ward and all were removed to
houses in the Tenderloin district which
was near at hand.
The children's ward which was also
threatened, was not damaged and the
three inmates were removed without
injury. The entire hospital was filed
with smoke and the action of the
nurses in protecting their patients was
heroic. The property loss will be small

FLORIDA SHORT ON COTTON.

Tallahassee, Fla. Oct. 16.-"There
will be a shortage of nearly 10000 bales
in Florida's cotton crop this year, "
said Statistician Elliott of the State
Agricultural Department this morning.
II have within the past few days re-
ceived reports from every section of
the state, and they confirm the state
ment just made.
To-day not per cent. OF the cotton
crop is standing in the fields. In some
counties the yield has dropped to so
ner. In others it is higher. In
Leon county the actual crop will hard
" reach 81 per cent. There are two
reasons responsible for this shortage;
FIRST, the drouth in the early spring.
This set the plant back at least a
month, and it was impossible for 1t
ever to catch up. the second reason
was the destructive storms of Sept.
10. H. II and 10.

Working at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 16.-Fifty-two
messengers of the Pacific Express
Company, whose headquarters are in
Omaha, reported for duty as usual to-
day. One car came in from st. Louis
without a messenger but a man was
supplied by the local manager.
Manager Patterson stated that he
anticipated no trouble and that all of
his men had expressed themselves as
against a strike. A number of ex-
press messengers reporting to the
omaha office, were sent south to take
the strikers places and the company
requested porters to take cars of their
leaders. The porters refused to do so
on the ground that they were bonded
as porters and not as messengers. The
porters were at once discharged.

aoles, live stock and personal property
IS being refused for shipment until
the strike is settled.

FREE FOOD LEAGUE.
To Restrain the Strongly PrOtec-

To Restrain the Strongly PrOtec-
Zionist Tendencies.
London. Oct. 16.-The Duke Of Devon
shire, late Lord President of the Coun-
Gil, has conditionally accepted the pres
idency of the Free Food League, which
is organizing a campaign against the
fiscal policy of Mr.. Chamberlain and
Mr.. Balfour.
This important move in the fiscal
contest developed tonight at the
meeting of the Parliamentary Commit
tee of the league with a letter from
the Duke of Devonshire to Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, Mr.. Ritchies predecessor
as chancellor of the eXchequer, accept
ing the proffered presidency of the
league upon certain conditions, was
read.
The committee passed a resolution
unanimously accepting the condition,
and this action was communicated i'm
mediately to the Duke of Devonshire.
In his letter the Duke of Devonshire
refers to the desirability of restrain
ing 1.-The strongly protectionist ten
denotes manifested at the recent con-
ference at Sheffield" and says the duty
of combating before the country the
doctrines of the tariff reform league
should not be left entirely to radicals
and members of the Golden Club.
The Duke of Devonshire says he can
not reject the invitation of the Free
Food League to become it's president,
although he must accept that Office
conditionally.
Goshen Against Food Tax.
London, Oct. 16.-Lord Goschen, who
was chancellor of the exchequer in
Lord Salisbury's second administra-
ton, delivered a strong speech in Lon
don tonight against the taxation of
food.
He pointed out that France and Ger
many had begun with small taxes on
wheat which had risen rapidly with
the agrarian demand, with the result
that in Great Britain the price of
wheat was about seven shiIings less
per quarter, than in Germany, and
from eight to twelve shillings below
the price in France.
He said that such taxes were paid
by the consumer and as Great Britain
was less dependent upon foreign sup
plies for four-fifths of her food re-
quirements, as compared with Ger
many which took one-third of her
food supplies from foreigners, and
France, which took but two per cent,
it would be most inadvisable thus to
tax food.
