Tbcro was nn unlooked-for chnniro In the
landing of the racing bykers nt the Coll-
otftn Inst night , and the outcome of the
struggle IH now highly problematical. All
tiny Heading suffered from dlrzlnoss and
crmnps. which grow out of his fnll the night
before. Ho was compelled to dismount sev
eral time * and during these mtorvnl > i Ding-
Icy redoubled his exertions and pulled up
oven with the soldier. The Minneapolis man
feels conlldcnt of coming out nhoad. Ho
iinld last night that ho told his backer when
he was lamenting his ill luck of the flrst day
that the rnco wasn't over yet. and that the
tremendous exertions Heading had been
making were sure to tell on him , and so
they have , and this morning Ulngloy will
start on n llttlo bettor than oven
terms with him. Jack Kinncinnn , Heading's
trainer , remarked at the finish laU night
that Heading came in In better nlmpo than
ho had been 'during the whnlo day. To
morrow , ho says , ho expects him to bo all
right again , nnd urcdicts that hu will soon
tnko n commanding lead ngaln. There are
but few , however , who share In Klnneman's
nangultio opinion , nnd the prevailing Idea

NEW Youic , March 13. ( Special Telegram
to TUB BEE. ] The Bcml-olllclal announce
ment Is made of the matrimonial engage
ment of Jay Gould nnd Mrs. Maurice B.
Flynn. The gossips have for several weeks
been waiting for ofllcial confirmation of
what appeared to be n'surprlslng rumor , nnd
which has now ossuined the form of actual
ity. Those who know both Mr. Gould nnd
Mrs Flynn , who by the way is the daughter
of Theodore Moss , wore surprised to hear
that the financier and the contractor's
widow wore even acquainted , but the moro
Intimate friends of Mrs. Flynn's family huvo
known of the acquaintance and of the vari
ous services that Mr. Gould had performed
for Mrs. Flynn since her husband's death ,
nnd were therefore not so much surprised ut
tbo possible outcome of the situation.
Maurice B. Flynn died last year nnd the
nflnirs of the estate were found after his
death to bo in n somewhat discouraging and
unfortunate condition. Ho had got inter
ested in the street railroad syt > toui of Hich-
mond. Va. , und had invented u good deal of
money down thero. It is said that
at this time Mrs. Flynn wont
to Jay Gould , with whom she was then well
acquainted , and asked him for advlco and
counsel regarding what she baa better do ,
and be took up the matter personally so thnt
her ulTairs In Richmond are declared now to
bo in a very satisfactory condition.
Mrs. Flynn Is still n tlno looking woman ,
with flashing dark eyes and rather wavy
hair. She Is probably twenty-five or twen
ty-six years of ago. She baa ono sister , the
wife of Arthur Wnllnuk , who died about
eighteen months ago. Hnr father , Thoodorn
Moss , is well-known both In Wall street nnd
theatrical life. For years ho was associated
in business with tbo lute tester Wallack ,
und is now the lessee of the Star theater ,
nna Is understood to bu Interested finan
cially In Palmer's theater. His ventures In
Wall street , which were originally suggested
by William It. Truvers nnd Leonard Jeron.o ,
are said to have always boon singulurly for
tunate.

Tlifl .South Toilnjr.
lion. John Li Webster , who has lust re
turned from ilia south , was Bought for nn
Interview yesterday. Ho was nskcd for the
Impressions which the people und the cities
south hnd made upon him , and for a frank
Btntomcnt of the true political conditions
which prevail In the land of Dlxio.
"My trip to the south was an Interesting
ono to rae , " began Mr. Webster. "It gave
mo an Insight Into southern llfo und southern
politics that could not bo gathered from
newspaper reading.
"Tbo cities of Nashvlllo , Chattanooga and
Atlanta have about them an air of growth
and prosperity that compares very
favorably with the northern cltlos of
like size. ClmttauooKa is destined to become
como a very largo city. In th <
opinion of many southern gentlemen , in wil
become the most important of the inland
commercial and manufacturing towns in the
south. Many northern pcoplt ) have iiivestci
capital in Chattanooga and Atlanta. The
percentage of Increase In population and In
wealth In ttuiso cities since the war has boon
moro than In any other southern city , with
possibly the oxcoptlon of Ulrmlngham , Ala.
Northern people have created and ura carry
ing on a real ostatoJioora about Chattanooga ,
and have laid out nou- town sites and built
iron furnaces as a nucleus for towns to such
nn extent that the vuiloy between
Lookout mountain and Mission Ilidga is
practically covered over by ono city. The
landscape views from Cunioron hill and
Lookout mountain are the finest that I have
over seen. About two hundred delegates to
tbo Republican League convention took the
trln from Nashvlllo to Cbattanooga , The
citizens of Chattanooga gave us a reception
that was in every way commendable. A
public meeting was hold In the opera house
In the afternoon , and addresses of welcome
wore made to us. The house was filled With
ladles , as well as gentlemen. The Nebraska
delegation alone wont to Atlanta. Wo were
there received by a commuted 'of citizens ,
who drove us about the city , to show
us all points of interest , and the
sights of the battle Holds around thero. In
the afternoon wo jvero tnkon to the resi
dence of Colonel Buck , who invltod In a
largo dumber of ladles and gentlemen to receive -
ceive us , and wo were hospitably entertained
with an elegant luncheon. * All.mta compares
very favorably with Denver. .Iho business
houses are comparatively now nnd the
streets are solidly built-up with brick struct
ures.
"Tho country between Chattanooga and
Atlanta Is uninviting. Tne lino"of railway
between the two cities runs through an al
most continuous line of battle Holds , where
were waged the llorce contests of General
Sherman upon the federal sldo and General
Joseph E. Johnson upon the confederate Hide.
It Is an historic country , but the soil is poor
and the habitations are very few.
THE rOMTICAI , QUnSTIOX.
"Tho political condition of affair * In
Georgia is startling to a northern man.
There is only ono question considered , and
that is : Shall the negro be permitted to vote
and have his vote counted I In the one sense
it is purely a race question. The colored
people uro all republicans and want to vote
the republican ticket. Nearly all of the
whites vote the democratic .ticket. In a
measure it is a social question. I can no
better describe it than by saying , , in sub
stance , what a few leading men said to mo.
"General Lewis , who is n _ retired arm.V
ofllcer , living ut Atlanta , suiti that where 41
republican meeting' was called that It was
monopolized by the colored people. The
colored people would elect thoir'chairman ;
the colored ucoplo would do the talking , and
would servo on the committees. This was
not because the colored pcoplo tiad'any anti
pathy toward the whites but simply DO-
causu they were. In the , majority
in such meetings. They did , no
moro than the white people do in the pdrth ,
where the white pcoplo are iu tho' majority
and the colored people in o minority. The
tendency of this thing was to arivo the
white pcoplo away from the republican
ranks. The democrats usa this , as u moans
of disgusting the white people with the
colored supremacy. If a while man partici
pated in any such meetings , the denioqrnts
would seek to ostracise him , und his wife
und daughters , from society. This bitter
feeling is carried to such an extent that
manv white republicans afo. afraid to take
an active part in politics for fear their wives
and daughters shall bo excluded from social
life. The result of this Is that there are
many white men in the.south. % whp nro.ro
publicans at heart and In sontlnlqnt , who do
not data give public expression to thbir opin
ions. ,
"Upon the other handtho democrats do not
want auy of the colored people to vote the
democratic ticket. They give as a reason
that U a portion of the colored people should
vote the democratic ticket , or inoot iu the
democratic assemblies , that then the demo
cratic party would be subject to the same
criticisms which are hurled at the republi
cans. The aim of the democratic party is to
array the whites , us a mass , against the col
ored voters. It is the opinion of General
Lewis that if tbo colored vote could , bo di
vided , then the tlltllculty would lie. solved.
He Is in favor of having republican organi
zations , composed entirely of white men , und
thereby scjok to divide the colored vote , and
that thereby public meetings may bo hold ,
in which the white people of the republican
party might have the whole controland thus
force the democrats , likewise , to associate
with the colored people In the democratic
meetings , and thus destroy or neutralize the
race discrimination.
"Colonel Uuck , who is the United States
Marshal for Georgia ami a man of high repute -
puto and unquestionable reputation , is of
the opinion that unless some stcps'slmll BOOH
bo actively taken to secure , the rltfht to tbo
colored people to vote and to have their vote
counted , as cast , that their will ho an up-
lieaval In Georgia , Alabama and. the Caro-
linns that will bo fearful to contemplate.
The reason for tills is the fact that the democratic
ocratic- party has the control of the party
machinery , the polls und tbo ballot Vexes ,
mid either intimidate the blacks so that .they
are alrald to vote or If they do vote that
their votes are either thrown out or not
counted. The colored people know this fact.
When they shall bccomu a little further ad
vanced in property , wealth and education ,
so OH to have a higher appreciation of their
constitutional Hunt to exercise the elective
franchise. In the name manner that the
white people fxorcino It , they will rise up
and insert that right , by physical force ,
"Colonel Uuok went so far a * to say that
hu would not recommend a republican from
the north to como Into that locality to live ,
if ho had daughters to raise and educate , for
four that they might meat with this destruct
ive social and political force , before tnoir
life should bo ended. Ho further stated
that , notwithstanding the fact that ha hud
the personal respect of the democratic party
that , nevertheless , If the democrats came to
feel that hl presence necessarily interfered
with their power to control the elections ,
that they would put him out of the way.
Ho said that bin IIfu had been threatened on
more than ono occasion , nnd that It required
more courage to go through thi | political
contests that no had gone through in the
state of Georgia , than was required of him
to go through a battle as colonel , conuuiind-
iiik" Ills regiment.
"Thuro are other republicans in the south
who go along an loaders of the republican
party on strictly party -principles , who do
not huvo any settled convictions as to the
lina'of policy to bo pursued to save that
portion of the country from Impcuthne
trouble.
" I'bo executive committee of the National
league was obliged to moot this question and
nolva u , in a measure , us between two con
testing detonation * from South Carolina.
Mr. Uruyton , who U chairman of the repub
lican central committee of the state of South
Carolina , und who la uUo u member of the
republican national committee , represented
the radical uldo of the republican party. In
principle und sentiment. Ho Is the leader
of the republican purty In South Carolina ,
the color line. Another
gution , headed by Mr. McLaln , represented
what they called the 'Independent republi
can' party w'hlcii means nothing moro not
less than the 'whito man1 republican party
' Investigation disclosed the fact that the
republican party In South Carolina , ns wol
as in aeorgl.1. U sOlvldml. Ono branch of it
Is In favor of Inavlng the blacks and whites
In the same clubs and orgunlmtlons , nnd the
other brunch of ill Is In favor of clubs con
trolled by the white men. 'i ho reasons for
this division arc tha same as those heretofore
given by General Lawls.
"From nil tbo information tftit I couli
gather from tnlttfng with a largo number ol
pcoplo , I cum o' ( .11- the conclusion that then
exists no personal antipathy ootwoon thu
two races ; that , ' -strictly speaking , there id
no race question m the south. The real aim
on the part of ' the democratic party is to
keep control ofllio politics of the south , and
to do that the democratic organization re
sorts to throats a'nd intimidation toward thn
colored People nnd murder where neces
sary. Finally , when tt Is actually founi
that the ropubllcad vote cast is largo enough
to change the result the republican votes arc
thrown out nnd election frauds practised.
"Thero are no loading republican papers in
thosoutn , and the result Is that the whole
truth touching those election frauds Is never
reported to the northern people. Citizens ol
Atlanta said to mo that if they hnd a ropub
Hcan paper , established on u strong tlnancial
basis , no that It could boar the burdens of
financial losses until it had become thor
oughly established , and conducted by an
editor who would toll the truth about those
election frauds , that it would eomo nearerto
working a revolution Itl republican sentiment
throughout the country than any other
moans that could bo resorted to.
"It Is my opinion that this trouble can
never bo settled right , and with perfect
safety to the lives and homes of the people
living In the southern states , until It shall
become nn established fact that every citizen
In the south , as well ns in the north , shall
bo permitted to vote ns ho pleases nnd to
have that vote counted ns cast so that the
rulers shall represent the will of the major
ity. This Is asking nothing moro uor less
than the protection to oacli citizen of his
constitutional right to exorcise the elective
franchise. No state or country can remain
republican If the votes of the majority are
fraudulently suppressed. If the people of
this country do not come to BCD this thing in
this light and to act accordingly , It may not
bo a generation until life and liberty may be
subjected to anarchy and bloodshed in some
of the southern states. "

IiOTXEKY IHljIj DEFEATED.
Fulls to Gjt Knousrli Votes to Pass
Over 11 Veto.
ST. PAUL , March 12. The Louisiana lot
tery legislation proposed In the North Da
kota legislature -Bismarck received its
quietus today In both houses.
As anticipated aouio dajs ago a ' at
tempt , to adopt the measure was tried today.
Yesterday wat net as the day , but the sud
den death of Superintendent of Public In
struction Mitchell and the consequent ad
journment of both houses , postponed notion
until today , and this was the last day
the measure could bo' taken up ,
and curried , Ccal adjournment being too
near. The flrst attempt made in the senate
proposed a now bill offering the state $ . ) O.OUO
for a franchise und nn annual tribute of
$150,000. Its opponents moved to lay it on
the table , but the mot'on ' was defeated by 11
to 18 , howovcr , us a test vote , It scaled the
fnto.pf the bill , for it developed the fact that
in the senate , where the measure xvas con
sidered the strongest , the two-tnirds neces
sary "to "pass It over the governor's veto was
u'ot forthcoming. The bill mot with the
Baciiofato in the house.
The lottery bill cnmo before the senate in
the report of the seed wheat commission ,
ono of whoso members is ox-Senator Spen
cer , a representative of the Louisiana lot
tery. The commission submitted Its report
which declares all recent , legislation on seed
wheat unconstitutional nnd submits
n proposition from George E. Spencer
cor , the responsible ugent "of par
ties behind him , " who in consideration
of certain franchises asked offer to furnish
the needy farmers 2.)0,000 bushels of wheat
without interest , to bo returned niter the
crop was harvested , bushel for bushel , nnd
if the crop failed the debt Is to bo cancelled.
The commission expresses the belief that the
acceptance of Spencer's proposition is tbo
only possible scheme bv which the needy
farmers can bo provided with seed , and rec
ommends the acceptance thereof.
The "certain franchises" referred to
are the lottery powers sot forth in
the former lottery bill , amended as men
tioned in those dispatches last night.
The report of the commissioner with the
proposal of relief from the lottery , was then
taken to the house , where a motion to lay it
on the table wns carried nnu adjournment
taken until this evening.
At the evening session a motion
was Diadn by Stephens to re
consider the vote by which the now notorious
Sandager bill xvas Indefinitely postponed ,
njid the proviouB question bclm ; ordered , the
motion was lost by u vote of 23 yean to 31
nays. The vote was something ot n surprise ,
the opponents of the measure in the house
having under-estimated their strength , al
though claiming enough votes to win.
In nn Interview Governor Miller says ar
rangements have bcoii almost completed for
abundant seed wheat supplies ,

ably resulted in instant death. The position
of the ball was such that It could not have
been extracted with safety to the patient ,
oven bad Its exact location become known.
The coroner's inquest was held this after
noon. The jury found that Taulboo came to
his death from u pistol wound inflicted by
