MARRIAGE POSTPONED.
Charges Against Nicaraguan Minister the GrOOm-Elect

A Washington special to The Allan ta Constitution says:
 A great sensation has been created in society and diplomatic circles by the postponement of the marriage of Don Luis F. Corea, the Nicaraguan Minister, to Mrs. Ilah Dunlap Jordan. of Macon, Ga, one of the beauties of the South, and considered the wealth. lest woman in Georgia. The wedding was set for an early day in Novem- Der. the announcement of the engage ment being received with interest all over the country when 1t was cabled from Paris by Mrs. Jordan several months ago. The cause of the post ponement Is that charges have been made that Minister Corea is partly of negro descent and that he has a wife and five children.
 The story came out through inves- legations being made here by Mrs. Jordan's brother, to whom the charges against Corea were carried through a letter written by a New Jersey man. who claimed to know all about Corea. to Mayor Bridges Smith of Macon The Mayor read the letter before the Council of the Georgia city, where Mrs. Jordan is known by every one It was decided that the seriousness of the charges demanded investigation and Mayor Smith turned the letter over to Mrs. Jordan's brother. who commit nicated with Corea and began investi- gations on his own account.
 Corea indignantly denies all the charges made against him. and 1t Is said asked that the fullest investiga- tion be made. and suggested that the wedding be postponed pending the in- vestigation. The wedding was to be one of the most brilliant society events of the winter in the South. Mrs. Jor- dan Is a young woman of great beauty. As Miss Ilah Dunlap she was great belle and her marriage to the late Lee Jordan, an aged capitalist, was great social event in Georgia. Since the death of MT. Jordan she has been a prominent figure In society in num- ber of Southern cities and was popu- lar in Washington and New York.

An indictment which charges "that before the finding of this indictment that Andrew Burton unlawfully and with malice aforethought killed Will liam Richardson by shooting him with pistol, against the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama" Is sufffcient. and not subject to demurrer.
 2. Evidence; admissibility of let ter.--A letter received through the mall. though purporting to be one in response to one previously sent to the purported writer, who denies having written the letter, and denies the sig nature thereto as his, is not admis- sible against the purported writer without proof of it's genuineness.
 8. Reasonable doubt; authorized ac- quittal must be in reference to an es- sential factor.-A reasonable doubt oi any material fact in a criminal case is not sufficient to authorize q convic. tion, but the reasonable doubt must be with reference to a factA essential tc the establishment of defendants guilt
 4. Homicide; when self-defense car not be invoked.-On a trial under ar indictment for murder, where the eyi. dence introduced shows that the de. fendant was the asgressor in the dim. culty he cannot invoke the doctrine oi self defense.

 Captain. Durham changed from his right hand to the left on the tiller and with the free member explored his right trousers pocket Reversing the operation without result, he then made abortive efforts to search the pockets of a vest he was not wearing at the moment He drew his eyebrows to- gether and swore.
 Lost something?" asked the mate.
 q can't find my rabbits foot" re- piled the captain, "the one Dave Meek ins loaned me-"
 The mate whistled.
 Cant think what's become of it. continued the captain, perturbedly. A careful search of the cabin and its contents by the two officers and a cross examination of the cook, who. being a negro, would likely have a prediliction for rabbit feet, failed to throw any light on the, whereabouts of the missing foot.
 That's the darndest. all firedest bad luck I ever heard of," groaned the captain, "what'l I say to DaveT'
 MT. Meekins. as mark of true unselfsh friendship, had loaned his friend this valued foot fin his dire ex-
  Meekin's possession. It was no ordi- nary foot. It could trace It's origin as a charm straight back to the churchyard where its unfortunate owner was killed just as the village bell tolled midnight. It was the sew enth day of the month and a sou'west wind was blowing, matters which are potent in endowing the simon-pure rabbits foot with miraculous powers MnakfnS fa1t like talking and when didn't he. he would discant for hours on the wonderful things caused and prevented by that very foot. And 1t was lost.
 Captain Durham intended asking Laura Crook to marry him when he reached the port of his destination He had made a dozen or more starts in this direction in the past four years without succeeding in getting the words from his lips and now thrice-armed with Meekin's rabbits s foot, he intended to end his suspense No wonder he felt like a general who had invaded the enemys country and neglected to bring his army with him Without the rabbits foot he felt that his chances of success were materially lessened. If not ruined.
 The Crook farm. which was entirely given up to the production of salable crops, had always appeared to Cap tain Durham as a Garden of Eden con- taining the loveliest of Eyes, but when lie reached the farm, after having anchored his schooner in the adja- cent river, he discovered that ser pent was in the garden. Daniel Hol- ly, farmer of the neighborhood young, personable and well-to-do, had long been timid suitor to Miss Crooks hand, but he had evinced har rd and GhVnnHE that Captain Durham had placed a low es- timate on him as a rival. Now he strutted about as a conqueror. He smiled confidently on Miss Laura and spoke in the most negligent style to his, usually, dreaded rival. Captain Durham was troubled. Something was in the wind, and the captain. in
