Special Cable to the Washington Herald.
London. May 22.-The Times to-day says
hitch has arisen in the proposed ab-
sorption Of the Anglo-American cable by
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
owing to the fear of antitrust legislation
in the United States.
The latest proposition is to lease the
Anglo-American cables to the Western
Union Company. allowing the Anglo
American Company, however. to retain
a separate British organization.

NEW YORK STOCKS
ADVANCE A POINT
At SHORT SESSION
Rails and Industrials Share
Equally in Rise on Short
Covering.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The rise in
stocks yesterday, which began in the
early trading and was carried further
forward in the closing hour, continued
this morning, under the influence OF
short covering, slightly more favorable
reports from the business world and
expectation of the early adjournment
of Congress. The one disturbing ele-
ment is the industrial war In Great
Britain, but that was not much in evil
dence today, owing to the business holi-
day in London and the closing of the
stock exchange there.
Railroad stocks opened here at sub
stantial advances and sold higher in
the early trading, holding the advanced
ground well through the short session.
Canadian Pacific opened half point up
and sold to 237Is, Stacking on a fraction
In the last hour. Great Northern start
ed one-eighth of point down and
gained a point. Lehigh Valley reached
a point above last nights closing, and
other rails showed similar advances.

COBB COUNTY BOY IS
KILLED IN ATLANTA.
JOHN MITCHELL, MARRIED BUT
A WEEK, is MURDERED.
Stabbed to Death Almost in Presence
of his Bride---Buried Mon
day at Holly Springs.

Mr.. John Mitchell, son Of Mr.. w. A.
Mitchell. who was formerly a resident
OF Cobb county, was mortally stabbed
at his home on East Fair street in
Atlanta, Saturday night, by George
Quarles, and died half an hour later at
Grady hospital.
The killing was most distressing
tragedy. Young Mitchell had been
married but a week and was seated
at the supper table with his bride, and
mother-in-law when Quarles, neigh
Dor, came in. He spoke to Mrs. Nc
Waters, mother-in-law of Mitchell,
saying
Il am as mean as hill, and want
to go to the stockade."
Quarles' manner and language be-
came more offensive and finally Nit
chell pushed his bride and her mother
from the room and engaged in fight
with Quarles, both men, it is said,
starting in with chairs.
A moment later there was a groan
and the women entered the room and
found a knife sticking in MitchelPs
breast while Quarles had escaped by a
rear door.
Esther, pull this knife out, am
choking to death" said Mitchell to his
wife.
He was hurried to Grady hospital
in an ambulance but died half an hour
after the stabbing.
Quarles has not been arrested.
Mitchell's body was brought to Mar
ietta Monday morning and taken to
Holly Springs church and buried in
the graveyard there. He was born
near Sandy Plains church twenty-one
years ago. His father was Mr.. w. A.
Mitchell who taught school in that
section and who was married to Miss
Minnie Grower, a sister of Mr.. Doc
Grower. Mr.. Mitchell moved with his
family to Atlanta nine years ago, and
he and his wife are still living there.
The deplorable tragedy has cast a
gloom over large circle of relatives
and friends in this county.
