The attempt of an Atlanta couple to get
married has resulted In a rather remarkable
trial In that city. Benjamin Powell Is the
name of the would-be groom , while the lady's
name Is Laura Perl Lemon. The wedding
did not take place because the prospective
bride had a dream. And In that dream she
claims the Lord showed that Powell would
not make her a good husband.
The motion on trial was one made by Pow
ell to revoke a former order granted by the
ordinary v. tthholding his marriage license
and certificate from record. This motion was
denied by Judge Hulsey , and so the matter
stands. Some Interesting testimony was fur
nished by Mire Lemon , who told the court of
the wonderful dream in which the Lord spoke
with her. It was Indeed a remarkable , affair
and the recital of It caused quite a deal of
amusement among the spectators In the little
court room.
"Why did jou not marry Powell ? " was
asked the witness.
"Because. I found ho would not make mo
a good husband. "
"How did jou find all this out ? "
"Well , I fasted for two days and nights
and during tills time I prayed to the Lord
that ho would show mo whether or not Pow
ell was the man to marry , and Ho showed
me. "
"You mean to say that jou got a revela
tion from on high that he was not the man
jou wanted ? "
"Ye ? "
"Well , then , when you wrote to Powell to
get the license you really meant to mairy
him ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"What do jou do when you seek a revelation -
tion ? What process do jou go through ? "
"I prayed and asked the Lord that Ho
might show mo In a dream whether Powell
would bo a good husband or not , and ho
showed me. "

SECESSION NOT MENTIONED
Strife in Order of Woodmen of the World
Probably Ended1.
CONSUL COMMANDED THOMPSON RESIGNS
Atitlcliiatril I.lv oljSe * loit of Alphn
Ciitap 1'rot PH to IH n Very
Tunic Affair , ami the AK-
ItaturM Mir re ml or.
Alpha camp , Woodmen of the World , will
not secede from the parent order.
It was expected thai there would bo a
warm tlmo at the mcctlug of the camp last
night , but the contrary was the taso. It
was anllclpated that Iho question of seced
ing from the patent order would bo brought
up and that a vote would bo taken on the
matler , which would probably bo preceded by
n long and animated discussion , bul seces
sion was nol menlloncd at the meeting.
George 0. Thompson , consul commander of
the camp , who has been the leading ugltalor
in Iho secession movement , presided at the
meeting till the routine business was dis
posed and then tendered his resignation ,
which was promptly accepted , and W. Y.
Tcctzel chosen to fill the vacancy. H E.
Lucas , advisor lieutenant , who was allied
with Thompson In the recession movement ,
also resigned , which wus accepted by the
camp , and J. A. Bowler elected to 1111 the
vacancj' .
SOVEREIGN OFFICERS SURPRISED.
The peaceful termination of the meeting
wai something of a surprise to the sovereign
otllcers of the Woodmen , for they felt that
there would bo a heated control over this
much mooted affair. They attended the
meeting determined to make a strong
effort to hold the camp to Its allegi
ance with the order. As a means to
this end they were to present in Iho meeting
n report of the condition of the olllccs that
was made by a commi'tco of Kansas City
Woodmen who spent a couple ot weeks In
this city examining the records. The In
vestigation was made to allay the uneasiness
that wan aroused In Kansas City camps ns a
result of the charges that were made by the
Alpha camp members against the sovereign
officers.
The report exonerates the sovereign offi
cers. The committee found that no funds
were mlsappropilated ; that the books of the
older are In excellent shape ; that the order
Is in a flourishing condition , having doubled
Its membership last jear , and that the
charges made agalnsl the sovereign otllcors
originated In prejudice of rivals.
The committee selecte'd at n conference uf
all the local camps of Kansas City to visit
Omahl was composed of W. E. Hagan , Bjion
Mlnter and J. F. Winch. The committee
reached Omaha April 19. and went straight
to the olllco of John T. Yatcs , sovereign
clerk. He assured the committee he had
nothing to hldo and Invited the members to
examine all his books. The committee nxt
saw J. C. Root , the sovereign commander ,
and there the members met an Omaha dele
gation composed of Sovereigns Thompson ,
Allen and Fallon. Together they visited F.
F. Reese , the sovereign banker , and a thor
ough Investigation of all books and accounts
of the order began.
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION ,
The investigation showed that all claims
against the order had be n paid and that
there was a balance on hand and In the bank
on January 1 , 1897 , of $3,830 85.
Tlio dinrge lh.it J. C. Root , sovereign com
mander , misused $11C of theorder's inonej-
was found unti ue. He used It legitimately.
The ch.irjTe that sovereign ollicers mlsip-
proprlated monej- from the uenellcliiry fund
wan found untrue.
The report of the committee ended with :
"We find death losses accumulated up to
r April 1 , 1S97 , to the amount of $126,000 , but
thcso have not all been approved. The
doublet nbsessmcnt or April , 1S97 , In round
numbers , ib estimated at $120,000 , which will
show that bcnellclarj' claims will bo paid
promptly.
"We have sought faithfully and conscien
tiously to discharge our dutj' In the matter
for which wo were holtctccl , hceklng-
neither shield nor condemn any pel son con
cerned In the matter , but ratbci to present
the facts ns concisely and truthfully ns Is
In our power to do Wo trust our report
will result In quieting the uniost which lias
been prevalent and tint all will exercise
that spirit of rli lit and Justice which Is so
needful to the success of the order wo rep
resent. "
But the question of secession was never
mentioned at the meeting last night , and
the proceedings , except for the two resigna
tions mentioned , were not unlike those at
any regular meeting ot the camp. Whethci
Iho seceders changed their plans or were
fearful they had not the strength to carry
their point Is not known , but the friends of
the sovereign camp are rejoicing over the
peaceful manner 'In which the whole strife
has been disposed of , and are not caring
much for the reasons which led up to the
result.
Secretary Allen of Alpha camp was also
a prime mover In the secession movement ,
but ho continues to hold his position.
