tBy special wire to THE ARGUS.
Atlanta, Aug. 17.-Miss Junia Nc
kinney, a cousin to the late President
William Mckinley, and the founder of
the first chapter of the Daughters of
the Revolution in the United States,
and one of the best beloved women in
Atlanta, Is dead at her home in Kirk
wood.
Miss Mckinley was member of an
old honored Georgia family, and at
the early age of sixteen years she or
ganized private school in Atlanta and
it is said taught the children of prac-
tically all the prominent families ofthis
section.
Owing to the i'll health of her broth
er, Nathaniel Mckinley, Miss McKin-
ley three years ago discontinued her
school and gave her attention to his
care and nursing. The majority of her
relatives preceded her to the grave.
Residing with her and ner brother was
her niece, Miss Estelle Wheelen.
In addition to her great work in the
Society of the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton Miss Mckinley found time to take
a prominent part in the work of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, the CO.
lonial Danes, the Daughters of 1912
and the various societies of ST. Luke's
church of which she was consecrated
member.
During the Spanish war
Miss Mckinley enlisted with the Red
Cross society and for her efforts Of
mercy was awarded a gold medal of
which she was very proud. Miss Nc
Kinley had fof several years held
MANY, onorary offices in the various
societies to which she belonged.
Miss Mckinley took the keenest de-
| light in genealogical research and was
conceded to be the most accomplished
and best geneologist in the Southern
States. It was she who proved to the
world that Napoleon Bonaparte, the
great emperor and warrior, was ofroy

and Princess Mathilde Boneparte.

A REAL SENSATION.
In an Atlanta Paper Today
". c. Christian Publish
eS Personal Card.
He ViCiOuSly ASSailS the Family Re-
cord of MIR. E. R. PreStn, OF
Chdrltte, VIII rec e ntly
ClandeStlnely Married
Christians Only
Daughter.
Special to THE ARGUS.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 15-Atlanta is
today over a card published by w. E.
Christian of this city, and signed by
him, in which he unsparingly assails
the family record of Mr.. E. r. Preston,
a young lawyer OF Charlotte, and who
creditably represented Mecklenburg
of North Carolina.
Some days ago Mr.. Preston clan
destinely married, in Charlotte, Miss
Julia Jackson Christian, the only
daughter of Mr.. w. e. Christian, and
only grand daughter of the late Stone
wall Jackson.
Miss Christian resided in Charlotte
with her grandmother, Mrs. General
Jackson, her own mother dying when
she was an infant, and the courtship
| between her and Mr.. Preston had been
of long standing and was strenuously
opposed by Miss Christians fam
| lily; but she reciprocated Mr..
| Preston's affections, and at length
| recognizing that her family would never
relent in their opposition, she, as has
been so often done in the course of true
love before, eloped and married the
| m an of her choice.
| And now the irate father, so far for
gets himself in his wrath, and that
"all the world loves lovers" as to ap-
pear in the public prints and assail the
family record OF the Preston family
that dates back as far and is as distin-
guished as that Of the Christians Or the
Jacksons, the Prestons being of histor-
| ic renown and distinguished lineage,
familiar to all students of our early
colonial and national history and OF
Confederate times, Col. Preston, the
father of young Preston, being a mem
ber of General Jackson's staff.
Mr.. Christian in his card today gives
as the reason why he and his son, who
is now student at West Point, op-
posed the marriage was because of the
existence of epilepsy in the Preston
family, charging that Mrs. Preston,
mother of the groom, died Of epilepsy
in an infirmary.
Extracting verbally from Mr.. Chris
| tian's card, which is lengthy and full
some, he says: 1--WE have pleaded
with her for over II months, personal
ly, through physicians, and otherwise,
to prevent her from throwing her
young life away by this marriage,
but she has been trapped, and
my friends throughout the South
who know the circumstances are deep
ly grieved that this splendid innocent
girl should have been practically ruin
ed so far as her descendants are con-
cerned, as Mr.. Preston's mother died
of epileptic fits, and his grandfather
Preston died in the same manner
Until Mr.. Christian published his
card no such hereditary defect was ever
dreamed of in the Preston family, and
young Preston's brother, who lives
here in Atlanta and is held in highest
esteem, says that he himself had never
before heard of it.

EDWARD and FRANCIS
JOSEPH MEET.
The Meeting Took Place Today at
lSchI,the FaVOrite Summer Resi-
dence of the Austrian
Emperor.
Especial wire to the ARGUs.)


Vienna, Aug. 15-The meeting today
of Emperor Francis Joseph and King
Edward at Ischl, the favorite summer
residence of the Austrian emperor, is
officially stated to be merely friendly
meeting and without political signifi-
ance. While this is doubtless true in
a measure it is nevertheless a practical
certainty that questions of deep inter-
national Importance will be discussed
by the two rulers.
Emperor Francis Joseph is desirous
of bringing about a final reconciliation
between King Edward and Emperor
William of Germany and it is probable
that at his meeting with King Edward
at Ischl he will assume the role of in
termediary.
