MISS VAN LEW'S EFFECTS. Her Personal KsUite Includes Many Valuable Relics. Richmond, Oct. 10. The appraise ment of the personal estate of MisJ Plijibeth L. Van Lew is in progress. Many unique things, including raru relics, have been found in the garret oi the quaint Churchill mansion so long oc cupied by the union spy. Such thing) as are likely to command good priced will be sent to Boston for sale.

Harris, a well known attorney, makes the state ment that W. A. Anderson, murderer and outlaw, and for 15 yeara a fugitive from North Carolina justice, is one of the special secret service guards of Pres ident McKinley, and is also a candidate for sheriff in one of the Rocky mountain states with a strong probability of elec tion. This brings to mind Anderson's crime, which is one of the worst in the history of Mitchell county, which is by far the most lawless of all the 97 counties in North Carolina. In 1884, Anderson, with his brother-in-law, William Ray, who had a record of seven murders, went to a mica mine and killed three men in cold blood. They were tried and convicted. Anderson was sentenced to hang while Ray was given 20 years in the penitentiary. While in Asheville jail awaiting execu tion of sentence, they were rescued and made their way west, where Ray died and Anderson has been living since. -Anderson's wife joined him, but after ward returned home and sued for di vorce. United, States Senator Pritch ard, then a lawyer in Mitchell county, was her attorney, and afterward mar ried her. Anderson's friends are now endeavor ing to secure a pardon for him, but there is strong opposition to this, as his crime was a most atrocious one, and a bitter partisan fight will result should Gov ernor Russell issue a pardon. MILL OPERATIVES'ON STRIKE Labor Trouble In North Carolina. Union Men Discharged. Raleigh, Oct. 3. More trouble is re ported among North Carolina mill ope ratives. The three mills at Haw river are shut down and there are indications of trouble at other mills in that section. It is said that employes of one of the mills became dissatisfied with their su perintendent and demanded that he be discharged. The management refusing to accede to the demand, the operatives walked out, the. employes of the two other Haw river mills following them through sympathy. Union Operatives Discharged. Burlington, N. C, Oct. 6.

HOMESICK YOUNG LADIES. They Let Their Imagination iet the Uetter of Their Judgment. Hickory, N. C, Oct. 9. The story recently sgnt out from Jonesville, S. C, stating that two young ladies from that place had been held at Claremont col lege against their will is a misrepre rentatiou of the facts. The facts are that Professor Hatton nor any of the faculty did not absolutely refuse to give up the trunks of these young ladies, nor to let them return homo. He did, however, refuse to let them leave the college until he could get replies to, letters written to their pa rents or until some one with authority should come for them. The statement about Mr. Hames taking out claim and delivery for possession of the trunks is a mistake. There were no legal steps taken in the matter, and no trouble, ex cept the imaginary ones of two home sick young ladies. Washington Duke's Generosity. Durham, N C, Oct. tt. It was an nounced by President Kilgo, at a mass meeting in Craven Memorial hall, that Washington Duke of Durham has given another $ 100,000 to the endowment of Trinity college.

This does not include the amount given by J. B. Duke of New York for a library building to be erected during the present year. Will Fight the Craig Law. Ralkiqh, Oct. 6. It looks as if the Craig act will have to make a fight for its life in the next legislature. Under it foreign corporations doing business in the state are compelled to become do mesticated. This prevents their going into the federal court with every suit brought against them. Naturally such a law has aroused the opposition of all foreisn corporations, and they are plot ting for its overthrow when the next legislature meets. Condition of North Carolina Oanks.

Governor Jkicbveaney has ao ROLL UP A BIG MAJORITY. Democrats Sweep the State- Falling Off" In Populist Vote. Atlanta, Oct. 4. Later returns from yesterday's election indicate that the Democratic state and legislative tickets are elected without a struggle and that Georgia is onco again overwhelmingly Democratic. Governor Candler is re-elected by over 60,000 majority, while Tray lor, his op ponent, polled less than 30,000 ' voten. This is a falling off of nearly 50 per cent in the Populist vote, as compared with the vote for Hogan in 1858. Out of 100 counties heard from. Tray lor carried only nine; and these by small majorities. The counties carried by tho Populists are Chattahoochee 50 ma jority. Franklin 100, Floyd 50, Harral son 40, Johnson 75, Lincoln 200, Mo Duffie 150 and Oconee 50, giving Candler a majority of 63,735 in the 100 counties so far heard from. In many of the counties there was no opposition, while in others the fight was an exceedingly interesting one, and closely contested. In Traylor's home county, Taylor, ths Democrats were victorious by over 300 majority, for the first time in eight years. The returns indicate that in several other counties heretofore Pcpulist strongholds the Democrats have won by handsome majorities. In several counties independent can didates were nominated for the county offices and legislature, but only resulted in bringing out the full Democratic strength, insuring defeat for the opposi tion. Fulton County's Vote. - Perhaps the bitterest campaign in tha state closed with the election in Floyd. Hare the result has not been clearly de termined, but indications point to the defeat of the independent opposition. A hard and determined fight was made by independents backed by the Populists, against the Democratic nominees for tax collector, sheriff and member of the legislature. The election of Democrats to all three of these offices is practically assured. In Fulton the majority of 4,000 votei for the ticket is explained to some ex tent by the independent opposition en countered by one nominee on the Demo cratic ticket. The experiment of inde pendent opposition was probably given sufficient test to prevent its repetition in the immediate future. For judge of the city criminal court Calhoun fcnowed Rodgers under, by a vote of 8,520 to 91. . For ordinary W. H. Hnlsey, who bolted the primary and was an inde pendent, was overwhelmingly defeated. Wilkinson's vote. was 3,119, while Hul sey polled . only 495. Commissioner of Agriculture O. 3. Stevens led the state ticket in Fulton with a vote of 8,591, while Governor Candler came next with 3.567. Little interest was taken in the con stitutional amendment. In a large num ber of precincts the amendment was al most entirely neglected in spite of the fact that in one light its success means aid to the widows of confederate sol diers, and in another light it proposes to add something like $250,000 to the an nual pension appropriation of the state Very few votes were cast against the amendment in ,any of the counties and from the returns received to data t! indications are that the necessary two thirds majority will be had. If it is de feated it will be due to the ballots that contained no expression on the subject either way. Fulton's vote for the amendment was 3,109; against 93. CANDLER'S MAJORITY 70,000. Democrats of Georgia Strongly Indorse the Kansas City Platform. Atlanta, Oct. 5. Later returns from Wednesday's election indicate a Demo cratic majority of 70,000. Ten counties that have for several years given a Populist majority have been reclaimed, while in only two Harralson and Paulding is a Populist gain noted. - One of the results of the election is the return of two negro members of the legislature, one from Mcintosh and the other from Liberty, where the negro el- ment predominates in overwhelming numbers. One of the most important results of the overwhelming victory of the Demo cratic ticket is the feeling of confidenc and assurance which 70,000 majorit will carry to the struggling masses t. the party in the doubtful states. Thi enormous majority stands as a direct in dorsement of the national Democratic- candidates and the Kansas City plat- Major M Iras Was Klected. Atlanta, Oct. 6. Major Livingston Mims was elected yesterday to succeed Mayor James G. Woodward, whose term expires Jan. 1.. The race between Mims and Rice was close and exciting, the strongest feeling prevailed throughout. the entire campaign. There was a total of 7,022 votes cast, of which Mims got 2,640 and Rice 2.-182. giving Mims a plu rality of 158. Beutell was defeated for re-election to council- LaHatte, Lewis, Pierce and Garrett, labor candidates. were all successful. Will Not Surrender the Flag. Coloibcs, Ga., Oct. 6.

As the Twelfth Georgia was formed here, and a number of the vete rans of that regiment still live here, the local camp wished to keep it. Cutting Affray at Carroll ton. Casrolltos, Ga., Oct. 6.

DECREE IS HANDED-Or'" Jodjge Swaja Readers a Ieciclmt: the Coosa Land Case. . BiH3n.vaHAat. AljL, Oct. a Jndgfi ' dwbjub, iu we uuuea otaces court, naa handed down a decree in the case of th United States against the Tennessee and Cooss Railroad oomcanr and tka hefri 1 of Hugh Carlisle, in which the queerto of the forfeiture of about 90.000 aom! land was involved. The land was nmJ in ally granted by the government to railroad company and Carlisle, ltl owner and builder. In 1893 the attor ney general of the United States filed a bill to declare the property forfeited to the government and the land was placed in the hands of a receiver. Upon being heard by Judge Brace, the case was dis missed and an appeal taken to the court of appeals, where it was reversed, tha ground of reversal being that a small portion of the land involved oooupied a different position from the great balk of it. The circuit clerk was instructed to as certain the number of acres contained in this lot and to this end a reference wai held by Circuit Clerk Allison of the United States court. He found that tho lot contained 3,240 acres, and Judge Swayne then rendered a decree declar ing this land forfeited to the United States and at the same time confirming tho title of f the Tennessee and Coosa railroad and Carlisle's heirs to the re mainder. The lands in question are situated in 'the counties of Marshall, Etowah and DeKalb. DISPLAY AT PAN-AMERICAN. Chairman Comer of the Alabama Com mission Issues a Statement. Birmingham, Ala., Oct 6. B.
