A Singular Law.

RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 2s.-The petition of
the McCue children to the Governor to be
relieved of the costs of the trial and the hang
ing of their father is long paper, setting
forth the law in the case as well as the pa
thetic plea which rectes that they 'cannot
help being repealed at the horrd idea of being
required to pay for the execution of their
own father"
They ask the Governor to remit to the es-
tate of the executed ex-Mayor the sum of
$3,097.42, claimed by the commonwealth for
the trial and the execution.
Governor Montague decided that he has no
right to remit the costs of the McCue case,
which must be paid to the State out of Nc
Cues estate.

Georgia's Cause For THANKSGIVING

From the Atlanta Constitution, November %
Apart entirely from the many tangible rea
sons which Georgians have, from the stand
point of material prosperity, for joining heart.
lily in the thanksgiving scheduled for Thursday
OF next week, there is one phase of the general
blessedness enjoyed by this State that seems
to call for special comment.
In many other parts of the country-in
Missouri, in Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere-the people have cause for special
rejoicing over the fact that after great up
heavals, rascality in high place has been over
thrown. Here in Georgia we can honestly.
and without any ''holier than thou pose,
proclaim that our special cause for thanksgiv
ing lies in the fact that we have now, as we
have had under Democratic administrations
for several decades, purity in public service
and honesty in all branches of the government
to a degree not exceeded by any other civil
government on earth.
There is nothing in our State administra-
ton, from one end to the other, that in any
way involves the character, the honesty or the
ability of those who administer the affairs of

Bride May Die From Hazing.

LoGANsPoRT, ND, November 26.-Mrs.
Frank Felker, a one.day bride, is seriously i'll
and reported dying from the effects of hazing
on Thursday night of last week. Felker was

In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved
husband, JOHN WESLEY ZEPP, who was shot and

Five weary months I've mourned for thee;

oh how sad and dreary now,
For my dear and loving husband
Has forever passed away.

And memory takes me back to the many, many
nights in the past twenty-five years that my
dear husband sat there.

STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Blu. the Damage Sustained is no.
Serious.

QUARANTINE. N. Y, Sept. 2f.-
The British Freight steamer Cornwall
arrived this morning from Shields.
Captain Loomis reports that at 10 P.
M. last night, when near Montauk,
during a dense fog, his ship was run
into by an unknown steamer, which
damaged the stem. Fortunately the
Cornwall's engines were stopped when
the collision took place, otherwise the
disaster would probably not have oc-
curerd.
The other steamer, whose name
could not be ascertained. backed off
and disappeared in the fog. Her con-
ditfon could not be ascertalned, but
she is supposed to have received no
damage. Captain Loomis thinks the
steamer was a North German Lloyd
of a Holland,Amerfcan line steamer.
Several steamers sailed from this
port yesterday, namely, the Baltic, for
Liverpool, the Lombardia, for Genoa
and the Noordam for Rotterdam.
The Cornwall will be compelled to
go into dry dock for repairs.
