GEORGIA’S BIG COLONY
GOV. NORTHERN PRONOUNCES
IT THE LARGEST EVER
ORGANIZED.
CONSISTS OF 40,000 PERSONS.
The Plan is to Forma Mutual Commu
nity in Which Every Stockholder is
to Share Equally anil Participate in
the Affairs ol the Colony—Shares
Will Be $lO Each and All Land Must
Be Taken lor the Purpose of Living
Theron—Another Colony Planned.
Atlanta, Ga., April 33. —Ex-Gover-
nor Northen, in an interview to-day
stated that he is now beginning corre
spondence to arrang details for the
transportation of the household goods
and stock belonging to the members of
the Indiana Soldiers’ Colony that he has
recently located in this State.
Gov. Northern has been in personal
conference with some railroad officials
and in correspondence with others, look
ing to the best arrangements for the
transportation of these people. The deal
has been finally closed for the purchase
of one hundred thousand acres of land
for settlement and the parties are now
only waiting for the title papers, to be
gin the survey of the lands. These papers
will soon be perfected the Governor says,
and then the work will begin.
The colony is the largest ever organ
ized in this country and one of the
grandest ever conceived in the world. It
consists of more than ten thousand fam
ilies and will bring into this State up
wards of forty thousand persons. One
may appreciate its size when he under
stands that this number of persons is
about equal to a city of the population
of Macon, or Augusta, and to three of
our average connties.
This organization is the creation of
Mr. P. H. Fitzgerald, editor of the
Americau Tribune, of Indianapolis. Its
plan is the result of years of thought,
and has been quietly worked out to a
successful, and marvelous issue.
Briefly stated, this plan is to form a
colony in which every shareholder par
ticipates in affairs of the community,
and has a proportionate share in profits.
No one can hold more than ten shares
of stock; the shares being ten dollars
each. The holder of one share is enti
tled to make a location of land for his
home, and all land taken must be for the
purpose of liviDg thereon.
At the centre of the tract of land se
lected for the settlement of the colony,
12,000 acres will be laid off into streets
for a city; the remainder of the land to
be divided into gardens and farms.
Every lot and farm will be reserved for
the general profit expected in the sale of
land after improvements will have en
hanced its value.
These lands wiil be divided out by al
lotment. The colonists get their hold
ings at original cost of the land. They
are charged with the price of their hold
ings, but it is expected that the profits
will clear off the indebtedness within six
years. There will be, therefore, no out
lay by the colonist for the land be holds.
Gov. Northern has in band other col
onies of less size, one having an option
on 15,000 acres of land in Lower Middle
Georgia. Arrangements for settlements
by this colony will soon be perfected.
Gov. Northern says: “The inquiries
as well as the actual settlements made
in this State, indicate a large increase
of population and a great inflow of
good people. Recent developments in
fruit growing and stock raising together
with the unusual transportation facilities
found in this State, are attracting atten
tion from people at the North and West,
who are seeking better conditions for
such pursuits in a mild climate, among
hospitable and law-abiding people.”

this morning the police court was crowd
ed to suffocation. Hundreds were un

Three medical students, named re

RALEIGH, N. C.. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1895.
SHOT BY A DESPERADO
TWO MEN KILLED IN COLD
BLOOD AND ANOTHER FA
TALLY WOUNDED.
IN PURSUIT OF THE MURDERER.
The Tragedy Occurred in a Restaurant
and Was Without Provocation-*The
Desperadoes Were Brothers and Had
Been Drinking Hard—They Have a
Bad Record and Have Already Slain
Many Men—The Dead Men Were In
offensive Italians.
Sanford, Fla., April 23 —At Marti
City, a suburb of this place, last night
Henry Suber shot and killed Leopold O.
Rinone and A. E Odoldo, and his
brother Charles dangerously wounded
Antonio Taffoleiti.
Henry and Charles Suber went into
Taffoletti's store and ordered something
to eat. While waiting for the or
der to be filled, Rinone and Odoldo
came in talking in Italian. Not under
standing the language, Henry Suber
asked if they were “cussing him.” They
answered, “No,” but Suber drew his pis
tol and began shooting, one bullet strik
ing Rinone near the heart and another
striking Odoldo in the forehead, killing
them instantly.
Taffoletti rushed up and seized Henry
Suber’s pistol when Charles Suber shot
him in the throat, making a dangerous
wound.
The Suber brothers then mounted
horses and escaped. A posse is in pur
suit.
Henry Suber is a desperate man and
has killed several men. He was the
husband of the Mrs. Suber who, with
her child, was killed in the railroad
wreck on the East Tennessee, Virginia
& Georgia at Scotland, Ga., about six
weeks ago, and he recently received
$4,000 from the railroad company as
damages. He has been drinking hard
since getting the money.
THE INCOME TAX REHEARING.
Consideration of Petitions Reserved
Until May 6 Before a Full Bench.
Washington, D. C., April 23.— At the
opening of the Supreme Court this morn
ing Chief Justice Fuller made the fol
lowing announcement: “The consider
ation of the two petitions for a hear
ing of the income tax cases is reserved
until Monday, May 6th, when a full
bench is expected; and in that event two
counsels on a side will be heard at a
time.”
This statement does not mean that a
rehearing of the cases has been granted,
but on that date the court will hear
counsel upon the question whether or
not a rehearing shall be granted.
The announcement of the Chief Jus
tice wa- made after an hour's consulta
tion in ihe conference room, to which
the Justices were invited yesterday. It
is assumed that at this conference confi
dential assurances were given of Justice
Jackson’s intention to be present on the
day named. That it is not certainly estab
lished he will be present is evident from
the Chief Justice’s manner of making tbe
announcement “when a full bench is ex
pected.”

Year on a Chicago Paper.

Times-llerald, offered Mr. Eckles, the
Comptroller of the Treasury, a large sal
ary, said to be nearly SIO,OOO a year, to

tor of that paper.
In view of tbe importance of financial
questions in business circles and politics,
Mr. Eckels saw in this editorship an op
portunity to wield great influence in the
West, and was at first much inclined to
accept Mr. Kohlsaat’s generous offer.
On consultation, however with otLer
members of the administration he deem
ed it his duty to remain in his present
office until the expiration of Mr. Cleve
land’s term, and wired his declination
this afternoon.

ENGLAND MEANS WAR
THREE WAR SHIPS SENT TO
NICARAGUA TO ENFORCE
HER DEMANDS.
PRES. ZELAYA ASKS FOR TIME.
He Requests that Hostile Deinoustra
lion* be Deferred till the Proposition
of Compromise Sent by Nicaragua
Can he Considered—No American
War Vessel in Nicaraguan Waters,
Rut some of our Squadron Could
Reach there in Four Day*.
Managua, Nicaragua, April 23.—The
government is advised of the arrival of
three British warships at Corinto to en
force the British ultimatnm.
President Zelaya has cabled Lord Kim
berly. British Secretary of State for for
eign affairs, asking him to defer hostile
demonstration until the proposition of
compromise sent by Nicaragua through
the Salvadorean Minister in London can
be considered. Much surprise is ex
pressed that there is no American war
vessel at Corinto.
No Official Information.
Washington, D. G\, April 23.— As far
as can be learned the British government
did not take the United States officials
into its confidence as to its intention to
send its entire available Pacific Equadron
to Corinto at this juncture.
Both the State and Navy Departments
declare that they have received no
official confirmation of tbe movements
of the British vessels although it
was well known that the British ships uu
der rear admiral Henry F. Stephenson,
met at Panama two weeks ago, the
Satellite, which had been there some
time, being joined by the flagship Royal
Arthur, which had spent the winter in
Chilean waters, and by the Wild Swan
from Callao.
The Wild Swan is a sloop of 1,130
tons, in all respects like the U. S. S.
Alert; the Satellite is a third rate
cruiser, somewhat smaller than the U.
S. S. Montgomery, and the Royal Arthur
is like the Columbia and Minneapolis in
dimensions and armament, but inferior
to them in speed.
Os American vessels on the Pacific
available for possible emergency in
Nicaraguan warers, the Alert is at
Panama, the Ranger at Beuena Ven
tura, Mexico, and the Monterey at
Acapulco, whore she stopped yesterday
for coal for her voyage to Cahao. She
will probably now remain at Acapulco
for orders. She could reach Corinto in
four days if necessary.

BASEBALL CLUB BOYCOTTED.
Brotherhood ofCarpeutcrs and Joiners
Wage War on the Orioles.
Baltimore. Md., April 23 —The Bro
therho: d of Carpenters and Joiners have
decided to wage war on the Baltimore
baseball club and from now until the
trouble be settled, all union men aftili
ated in any way with the federation of
labor are requested by the carpenters to
taboo the champions.
Th» trouble grew out of the construc
tion of the new grand stand. The con
tractor employed some non union car
penters, although paying union wages.
President Hanlon was appealed to by
the Brotherhood, but his best efforts
failed to bring about harmony. The
carpent* rs assert that Mr. Hanlon should
have protected the union by a clause in
the contract, as he failed to do so it was
decided last night to push the boycott in
every city where the Baltimore team ap
pears.
It is confidently predicted by the man
agement, however, that the boycott will
soon be declared off.

THE RESULT OF THE WAR.
European Trade W ill be Unable to
Compete With Japan.
Paris, April 23— -The Journal de
Debats publishes a report of an inter
view with Mr. Sone Arasuke, Japanese
Minister to France, upon the results of
the Chino Japanese war.
The Minister declared that European
trade would be unable to withstand the
competition of Japan. This, how
ever, he said, was purely a pecuniary
question, and could be modified in
accordance with the adoption by
European countries of a hi metallic
standard or the retention of the existing
standard. Japan, he said, does not pro
ject any conquests. Her one ambition
is to advance in the path of progress and
develop the trade and industries of the
country she has recently acquired.
The fears of Spain that Japan will en
croach upon the Philippine Islands, the
Minister said, are groundless. Japan is
perfectly satisfied with the possession of
Formosa.
Modifications iu tbe Treaty.
London, April 23.—A dispatch to the
Central News from Shanghai says Pekin
advices state that some modifications in
the China Japanese treaty of peace have
been agreed upon.
Os the five new commercial ports to be
opened it has been decided to substitute
Nankin for Pekin and Woo-Chow, on the
west Canton river, for Hnchow. Wei-
Hai-Wei is also to be garrisoned by
Japanese at Chinas expense for a term
of years. Nankin, although included in
the existing treaty ports, lias never been
proclaimed open.
