Owensboro, Ky.. Dispatch, 6th. A sensation that happened in Bowling Green last Saturday night has just become public property de spite the utmost endeavors of many people of influence to have the de tails kept secret. The affair was an interrupted elopement of five young women from Potter College, t Bowling Green, one of the promir i nent seminaries fr young women in the South. About midnight five young men, all members of wealthy families. drove in carriages to the college, and with ladders aided four young women to leave the building by climbing through the second story windows. While assisting the fifth to reach the ground the young man made so much noise that President Cabell was roused. SeiziDg a shot gun, th president began showing at the young man, who returned the fire. Two of the young men were wounded, but the president was not hurt. The girls screamed, but returned to their rooms, and the swains went away without tbem. The girls are members of the best families in Ken tucky. If indictments shall be found it is probable that they will haye to appear as witnesses at the trial. Tue Future of the South Atlanta Constitution. In forecasting the future of this section, Major J. W. Thomas, pres ident of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, bases his sunny predictions upon the follow ing elementary factors: First, the capacity of the soil of the south to feed five times the pop ulation it has at present. T Second, the large area of its coal fields, embracing 47,000 square miles that have seams of workable thickness. Third, the large quantity of iron ore fouud in eight out of the fourteen southern States Fourth, the ability, by reasou of the cheapness of coal and iron ores, to make cheap iron, which is now the standard, basis and meter of civ ilization. Fifth, the natural advantages for the manufacture of cotton and wool. Sixth, the large extent of forests and the thousands of industries that will naturallv spring from the pres ence of such forests. Under the above six heads Major Thomas has summarized within the smallest possible compass the mag nificent possibilities of the south, each paragraph suggesting the sub ject upon which volumes might be written. - No one can impartially consider the capabilities of the south as set forth in the resources, of climate, forest, field and mine without real izing that the future of the south is full of the p-omise of prosperity and contentment. AVhisKe7 Drinking in the South New York Sun. Before the beginning of the civil war and for several years after the distinction of the Southern States as those which produced and consum ed a larger amount of spirituous li quors than any other group of states in the country was unchallenged But since the close of the war a com plete, palpable and very marked change has come almost impercepti bly over the face of things in the South, and while Kentucky and Maryland continues to produce whiskey in very large quantities as warehouse returns of the United States treasury indicate, the larger part of the product of both states is shipped North; comparatively little sent South for consumption. In fact the South is becoming the temperance section of the United States, and of 200,000. retail liquor licenses of various sorts, there are only 1,000 in Alabama, 750 in Ar kansas, 400 in Florida, 1,200 in Georgia, 350 in Mississippi, 1,200 in North Carolina and 325 in South Carolina, where the dispensary sys tem prevails, and in which there has been a very marked reduction in the sales of liquor during recent years Spanked With the Lee of a Lamb. Providence, R, I., Special, to Philadelphia Rec ord. George Dunlop was to day sen tenced to 15 days at Cranston jail for spanking his wife with a leg of a lamb. Mrs. Dunlop is youthful and prepossessing. With a tearful face she told the story of t he assault made by her husband. She said he came home after being away all night Sat urday and smashed the windows. Then he kicked the panels out of the doors and fought with the kitchen stove, smashing all the utensils a bout the pantry. He broke three lamps, and said he would drink the kerosene. . Mrs. Dunlop was terrified, but she tried i to quiet her husband. Finally he! seized the Sunday leg of lamb and, putting Mrs. Dunlop over his knees, he spanked her with it soundly that she was forced to shout murder and police, and an officer responded. As the policeman went through ! the wrecked door he saw Dunlop) wielding the leg Of the Jamb with' both hands and Mrs. Dunlop was on the verge of a collapse. Judge Sweetland lectured Dunlop severely for his conduct. Mo Mandamus for Him. Greensboro Telegram. 'Squire Pierce tried a big case of claim and delivery at the police headquarters this morning, in which one colored lady sought to get some furniture which she claimed belong ed to her, but which another lady held contrary to the statute made and provided. 'Squire Pierce de cided that the furniture belonged to the plaintiff, but he said he'd have to rest the case there for a while. He 'lowed that this mendamus busi ness is getting pretty ticklish now, and he'd have to think over it a while before ordering the .officer to take the goods, especially until he got his own fee, which wasn't then in sight.

Hall, Jr. Breach Between Mayor and Aldermen Of Wilmington Wilmington Special 4th, to News & Observer. Wilmington now has, as a result of the recent city election, the unusual specVacle of amayor and board of a) dermen widely at variance with or e another. Seven of the ten members of the council are strong supporters of Mr. W. E. Springer, defeated candidate for mayor, and as the re suit of combination of circumstance's the breat h between these and the mayor has beeu gradually growing widereach day. Monday night the mayor appointed the usual standing committee for the term and placed himself at the head of one or two of the most important of these, wifh another member friendly to himself and a third from the Springer fac tion. In regard to appointing him self on committees it is shown that It fajtiecrdrng.to a long established custom. This proved to be the crowning incident to all the manifes tations of hostility between the two parties to the controversy, however, and as a result a special meeting of the aldermen was held last night, the mayor presiding and a court room full of sympathizers of each faction being present. By a vote of 7 to 2, ordinances were peremptorily adopted divesting the mayor of the authority to appoint committees and placing the power in the hands of the aldermen, ilayor Waddell re plied in a written statement, charg ing two of the members with being actuated by an ambition to be chair man of the several committees upou which they are appointed, and de daring that his efforts to preserve harmony in the administration were at an end. "AU responsibility except such as strictly and technically attaches to the chief executive office of the city, is henceforth upon you," concludes the mayor. "I shall, as chief execu tive, leave no doubt about ray au thority. I have-nothing to do with making laws or ordinances for the city you have nothing to do with the execution of them. Higher au thority than yours declares me to be the chief executive officer to whom all others shall be subordinate I in tend to be what the law says I am. and you may take notice thereof and govern yourselves accordingly." Alderman Harris gave notice that he would reply in writing later. Mrs. Nation's Career as Exemplifying Coercion in Morals- The Toccoa, Ga., Witness. Mrs. Nation, with her morbid craving for notoriety, is an expon ent of the logical results of coercion in the field of morals. Her antics advertise the liquor business more effectively than could be done in any other way. Satan uses her semi insanity to make reform ridiculous. Such work as she is doing plants the seeds of anarchy and strengthens the gates of hell. The liquor traffic is a monstrous evil. Eyery Chris tian must pray and work for its overthrow. But mob violence has no place in Christian tactics. Christ said to Peter, "Put up thy sword." The mission of the Church is, to preach the Gospel of redemption, to seek the salvation of individuals. But kingdom of God in the human heart is based upon individual re generation. The ethics of the Gos pel appeal to those who are the sub jects of Gospel grace. Applied to the children of this world they are a misfit. Christ calls His disciples to get out of the world for it is going to be destroyed. The devil whispers, Oh no. do not get out of the world, stay in.it and make it better. Coerce people into being good and force your millen nium to grow in a hot house. Cheap Kates to California.

The Chinese Government has for mally notified Russia that China, ow ing to the attitude of the powers, is not able to sign the Manchurian Convention. -'.It is China's desire," says the formal notification, "to keep on friendly term3 with all nations. At present she is going through a pe riod which is the most perilous in the empire's history and it is necessary that she should have the friendship of all. "However much she might be willing to grant auy special privilege to one power, when others object, it is impossible that for the sake of making one nat ion friendly she should alienate the sympathies of all oth ers;" - - Li Hung Chang says this letter settles the matter definitely and that Russia was informally notified to the same effect March 29th.

Whether or not he is wounded is known only to himself rod to his little bodyguard. No phys-ioian has been summoned to to the hoase and none dare approach, except, on invitation To-day's conflict was directly con nected with the domestic woes of General Clay, which have darke.isd the closing days of his life. In the battle w. re the general and two of his bodyguard on one side, and Sheriff vrolyer, Deputy Terrell and Frank Mason, of Madison county, on the other. The writ which the sheriff sought to serve was one or dering tie delivery of some furniture belonging to the general's daughter. The officers approached the house from the north, passing through the apple orchard, The general's Rus siau bull dogs set up a barking and the officers stopped at the yard. The general's bodyguard protnuilv camo to the door and the sheriff an nounced that he desired a personal interview with the master of White hall, General Clay in a few minutes came to the door, revolver in hand. "Genera! Clay," said the sheriff, "we are here on a peaceful mis sion. "You are on mv property without leave ant: I will shoot you," replied the old man, who. almost blind, strained hp's eyesas-if trying to make out the l'-jation of an enemy. "Don't shoot, general; we are friends," shouted Sheriff Colyer. "Spies," he retorted, and handing his pistol to one of his men, he took instead a repeating shot-gun and cocked it. Sheriff Colver soucht shelter behind a large oak tree near by, and Irs deputies also hid them selves. Ail pulled their weopoLs. General Clay shrieked, "The Ven- kettal The Vendetta!" and began firing in the direction from which he heard the voices The sheriff fired in return after the general had emp tied the weapon, and his deputies also fired; they say not at the old man, but hoping to scare him into seeking shelter. Colyer was shoot ing wild, also, not desiring to kill the old man, who, although doing hi -5 best to kill him, believes he was firing on an enemy. After emptying the shot-gun Gen eral Clay tried his revolver, which would not fire. He then took from the hands of the other his rifle and discharged it in the direction of the frightened sheriff and deputies. Ex hausting his ammunition, General Clay sought retreat. He went into his room, and putting up the iron bars, rdered his men to adjust the pistols, which were three large navy weapons always kept lying on a dresser. He armed himself with a large bowie knife and a butcher knife. Stationing himself by the side of thedoer,he a waitedfurther at tack. After General Clay had re treated in to his den, Sheriff Colyer and his mea left the yard. They found a negro boy and sent him to the house to try to get General Clay to come out unarmed and meet them, but in this they were not successful, and they returned without serving the process. Sheriff Colyer says he will not bother General Ciay, but wait till Monday before serving the papers. Some months ago General Clay, who had been left alone after his child wife, Dora Richardson, ran away and left him, sent for Mrs, Mary B Clay, a daughter to live with him. For some weeks they got along nice ly, and the veteran appeared to be satisfied. Two weeks ago he told hi daughter to go to his family and se cure their consent to the release of all claims on the property which he occupies, give the property to Dora, the young, divorced wife, who is now the wife of fiiley Brock, and resides at Pinckard, in Woodford county, on property given her by the gener al. Mrs. Clay went away according to orders, and returning a day la'e was met at the door by 'the old man. Hi3 eyes were firey. In his tremb ling hand be held a revolver grasped tightly. He demanded to know the result of the visit. "It's all right, ' ' said the frightened daughter. "All right, is it?" retorted the infuriated man. "You lie; I know you are de ceiving me " Leveling the revolver at his daughter, he added: "Loave my house, and never come "here a gain. " Returning to his room the old man moaned: '"She was .trying to de ceive me. I could tell it by her face." Securing a writ of delivery for her furniture, Mrs. Clay placed the pa per in the hands of Sheriff Colyer. General Clay still loves the child he married, and although she has now grown to womanhood and has re married, he w'ants to give her his property, whch at his death goes to her children. He thinks "the vendetta," about which he has ta'k ed and written for years, is on, and believed that they were shooting at his enemies, come to murder him in his home.

For the sake of this element, I say the government should yield all it consistently can in these election cases. Not "nol pros'' them but if those who are guilty will come into court and plead guilty, then I say let the judge suspend the judgment, make all of them en ter into a bond for their future good behavior and turn them loose. This will cost them nothing as the State pays the cost, but will vindicate the law. This will teach the ballot box thief there is a law higher than the corrupt State laws and we will have peace with honor and safety.

The victory of the Southern Rail way Company before, the railroad commission of the Statebf Mississip pi is a splendid tribute to the show ing made before the officers of that railroad. ' The case grew out of the purchase by the Southern Railway Company the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, run ning porth from Mobile to St. Louis, passing through Mississippi on its way. The cry was raised tnat the purchase was violative of the laws of competition, and that the sale should not be myalidated by the action of the state railroad commission. Be fore that body it was shown that the Mobile and Ohio did not parallel the the Southern ;that its north and south line crossed the Southern's east and west lines twice at right angles, and that instead of curtailing competi tion it really extended the' competi tion of the Southern Railway as against other railways in the State of Mississippi. It was also shown that it had never been the policy of the Southern Railway Company to carry dead ends or un worked lines; that every mile of track was worked for all that it was worth, and that it was in this spirit that the Southern desired to enter Mississippi. The plea was so straightforward and con vincing that the commission unani mously dismissed its action against the Southern. To the people of Georgia, to whom the working of the Southern system is so well known, the action of the Mississippi commission is no sur prise. Ten years ago the arjti rail road spirit in Georgia raiv very high. Since that the Southern, under the presidency of Mr. Spencer, has dealt so fairly with the people, and has so promptly met every local enterprise that this feeling has completely dis appeared. Other railroads have co operated, and all past antagonism has disappeared. This is true not only of the political feature, but of the appeal to the state railroad com missions on important issues. Mississippi therefore, is to be con gratulated upon its determination to encourge rather than to antagon ize the development in that state of the business and the broad and liber al spirit of the Southern Railway.
