AN APPEAL FROM A LEADER. Will the People Commit a Folly That Will Undo the Work of Many Years?—The Democratic Party Must Retain the Victory it Won Last Fall. Special to The News: St. Louis, Aug. 14.—A special from Atlanta, says the following let-ter from Senator Gordon, has just been published : Cranston’s-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., Aug. 3.1891.—Gen. C. A. Evans, Atlanta, Ga.: My Dear General— The reports in circulation just as I was leaving home, to the effect that I was in very bad health, were some-what exaggerated. It is true that I had lost about 25 pounds in weight and that my strength and vitality were very much depleted. It only re-quired rest, however, and a change of air to restore me to normal health and vigor. I shall be at home soon, I trust, ready to do all in my power to de-monstrate the unwisdom of any po-litical utterances or movements tend-ing to weaken the faith of our people in the national democratic party, or to break their allegianoe to its fortunes. It is easy to make manifest, I think, the serious consequences involved in such a movement. As to the alliance, I have never doubted their fidelity to the Democratic party. No more patriotic, honorable or truth-loving men live than the great body of Alliance men in Georgia, and they will not only embrace and stand by the truth, but will sustain those who sustain the truth. I realize fully that the conditions around us are unpre-cedented, but it can not be true that Georgia Democrats who .for a quarter of a century have stood unshaken in their devo'ion to this great party of people are about to abandon it in the hour of its greatest victory won in the cause of publio popular rights. It can not be true that we are about to commit the most consummate of political blunders by striking down the most powerful arm raised or that can be raised for our defense. If such blunder should be made by the South it would render absolutely worthless the most splendid victory wen since the war in the interest of economic reforms. It would post-pone for a long period the possibility of securing the relief we seek, and which wise, just and conservative Democratic legislation will bring to the agricultural interests and to the masses of the American people. It can not be true that our patriotic peo-pie are going to invite these delays and the political woes which a disrup-tion of the Democratic party would assuredly entail. Of course you and the people generally will uc-derstand that circumstanced as I am at present, even if I were capable of seeking selfish ends at the sacrifice of my oountrv’s welfare, I oould not now have any political ambition to be grat-ified, or personal interest to bn sub-served by going again to onr people for the purpose of disoussing these grave issues. I shall go to them therefore, without the slightest ap-prehension of being misunderstood, and with profound conviction that neither they, nor the great body of American farmers can be seduced into hostility to the democratic party, which is their natural, most sincere, and most powerful ally. They will not abandon the vantage ground gain-ed in the cause of reform by the un-preoedented political victories of last fall, in the vain and delusive hope of finding gieater safety and surer sue-cess in a new political party. Fraternally your friend, John B. Gordon. An Eicuntifii. Special to The News. Chicago, Aug, 14.—A big exour-sion of Catholics left here to-day for Lansville to attend the German Cath-olio convention which is to be held in that city. 1 Ml WO. A Man Elopes with a Couple of Women. A MASHER FROM WAY BACK. Tl»e Capers of a Good Looking Vouiij Rarber—He Tlirotv* u Whole Community into Fils by Eloping Willi tl»e Wives of Two 711* 11 at Once. Special to The News. Annandale, Minn., Aug. .14 — CLas. W. Windus, a barber hailing from Minneapolis, has thrown not only this village but the whole of Wright county into social fits. He has eloped with two pretty women at the same time,both of them married to prosperous men and each of them the mother of three children. Each of them is about 28 years of age, and they are four or five years older than the gay Lothario who had the hardi-hood to engineer the remarkable three-cornered matrimonial affair. The two foolish women are Mrs. Samuel Wells, wife of a merchant of this place, and Mrs. Leander Watson, who until a few weeks ago was the happy spouse of a Smith Lake farmer. Young Windus, who sails under the name of Charles W. Edwards and two or three other aliases when occasion suits him, came to Annandale a few months ago, and, being a good-look-ing fellow, got on well with the ladies. One day in July Mrs. Watson came over from Smith Lake to visit her friend, Mrs, Wells, aod the former was introduced to Windus by the latter. For several weeks after- Ward Windus was pretty constantly in the company of the women. The affair came to a climax late last week, when the trio disappeared. The sud-den departure of the three, soon be-came the subject of general gossip. The husbands of the missing women got their heads together and started on the war-path. They learned that their wives had gone to Minneapolis, and decided to follow them. The runaways were, however, posted by some one in Annandale, and being able to anticipate their husbands’^ coming, left Minneapolis. Upon re-turning to Annandale, the two aband-oned husbands consulted the county attorney and a warrant was issued for Windus’ arrest. The village mar-shal, armed with this warrant, went to Minneapolis. He was personally ac-quain:*! with Windus and was not long in locating him. But the clever young barber had not put up so big a job to be captured so easily. He managed to slip away from the mar shal, and was soon hid away in St. Paul, where he has been living with the women in true Mormon fashion. Officers are still searching for him, and he will doubtless be bagged in the next few days. SOLD AT AUCTION. Tlie Historic Mansion of Camden Park under the Hammer. Special to The News. London, Aug. 14.—The historic mansion of Camden Park, near Chisel-hurst, was sold at public auction to-day. The house takes its name from Camden, the antiquarian, who built it, and lived and died there in 1623. It is j also associated with the title of Charles Pratt, Earl of Camden, but now widely known in connection with Napoleon III, to whom the house was lent by the late Mr. Strode. Both, the Em-peror and the Prince Imperial were originally buried at Chiselhurst, in the side chapel, which the Empress built to St. Mary’s Catholei church. On a. Tour- Special to The News. Washington, Aug. 14.—Major W. J. Pollock, chief of the Free Delivery System, started to day for a western trip. About a month ago Major Pol-look visited the leading oities of New England, and he now proposes to look into matters pertaining to free deliv-ery in the West. What’s the matter with going to Joe Lehman,s and get a good dinner. MAN MS THAI. To Be Hanged Side by Side for Murder. ATROCIOUS AND FOUL CRIME. Poison Administered to tlie Womans Hun band to Put Him out Of tlie Way—The Drug: Furnisked By the Woonaus lover-Tliey YVatch Him Die Together. Special to The News: Columbia, S. C., Aug. 14.—The most sensational execution of the age will take place to-day. David Jacobs and Mary Johnson, both white, of Chesterfield county, are to be hanged for the murder of Wm. Johnson, the husband of Mary Johnson. The eon-demned couple were formerly well thought of in Chesterfield, and great pressure was brought to bear on Gov. Tillman to commute their sentence to imprisonment for life, but he has taken no action and they will be exe-outed about one o’clock this afternoon, unless the governor interferes before that hour. Briefly stated, the testi-mony proved that Mary Johnson, who was infatuated with David Jacobs, poisoned her husband, the poison being furnished by Jacobs. They have constantly denied the crime, and there is a story on good authority that the convicted pair were led on to a mock execution and even then maintained their innocence. Their spiritual adviser, Rev. Yonge, is so firmly convinced of their innocence that he has taken an aotive part in securing signatures lo the petitions for executive clemency. On the other hand both the judge and the state’s solicitor recommended that the law be allowed to take its course. The solicitor, in his report to the governor, gives the following interesting partio-ulars of the case : The jury stood ten for conviction and two against at a mistrial. The jary convicted both defendants at the last trial.' It was a foul and most deliberate murder by the most de-spicable means—poison administered purposely in the shape of quinine as medicine. Strychnine was found in Jacobs’ possession. He first denied having it at the inquest, but after-wards at the inquest said it was to kill crows. He made a bad showing on the stand. There is not a miti-gating circumstance for Jacobs. When the spasms commenced Mary Johnson blew a horn and Jacobs ap-peared on the scene and she and he sat near by the dying man, and both advised against sendmg for a doctor and both objected to an inquest and post mortem. They endeavored to have a hasty interment. They were indecently familiar with each other. The night of the death they whispered to each other. The afternoon before the fatal dose was given Jacobs sat up unusually late, and apparently waited for the horn to blow. It was a hor-rible ease. Jacobs was really a principal, as he was present at the death and advised against sending for a doctor, and would not evidently relieve the sufferer if he could, and sat there gloating over the death as chief fingersmith in the job. PLANTERS AND MERCHANTS. Holding a Conference on Ike Price of Cotton Picking. Special to The News: Greenville, Miss., Aug. 14.— Meetings of planters and merchants are being held to-day in various pre- O’ncts of Washington and adjoining counties to take general and concert-ed action on the subject of fixing and maintaining a uniform price for cotton picking. Delegates will also be elect-ed to attend a convention to be held in Memphis next week, which has a similar purpose in view. An Even Hundred. Special to The News, New York, Aug. 14.—The one hundreth performance of “Wand” to-night at the Broadway Theatre will be marked by the presentation of handsome souveniers.
