however, was to scare the Populists

"Wo have carried the Statu by tic

Populists have not carried twenty

Smith said. "The contest in tirorglu
was over the question of local govern
ment. National issues did not enter
into It. Governor Atkinson won tho
confidence of tho negro vote by his
impartial administration, ami the
largo majority of them supported him
nt the polls "
A. 1'.. Duck, chairman of the Stato
Ilepublican committee, said: "Atkin
son's large majority is due to thu pro

Wasiiiso, Oct. 0. Advice, from

caused a Mid sensation. Copies of

counts of recent action taken by the
Colonial government of Itrltish
tiiilana in defiance of the understand
ing existing between tho I'nlted

grunting of a franchise for building n

run into tho territory not only beyond
the Schomburgk liue, but even beyond
the territory to which tireat llrttain
has heretofore laid claim on tho

colonists.
The account In tho Demerara paper
itates that the franchise was rushed
through, not even thu time required
by the constitution being occupied in
its consideration, Nearly all the pa

It Is expected that tho Venezuelan

Sherburne, murdered tho cashier, a
bystander, and securing SI, 000 from
the cash tray, mounted their wheels
and escaped before the eyes of tho
startled villagers.
The affair was conducted with all

money. In that instance the robbers

At about :W o'clock two masked
men walked through the front en
trance of the bank to the cashier's
box and, .without a word, whipped
out their revolvers and leveled them
at Cashier Thorburn. The latter did
not move, but the next mlnulu the re

At another desk in (ho bank stood
Oerstcrn, n traveling man. He was
the only immediate bar to the ends to
which the robbers sought to gain, ami
as Thorburn fell to tho lloor they
turned and s'it him dead.
As quickly as possible they leaped
over the railing and seemed SI, 000 in

THE ROMANCE OF HER LIFE
AlrtiliRC Slur of the Late Sii'lc V. A'hley
of Chicago.
Ciiicaoo, Oct. 0 Tho romance ot
the life of Susie C. Ashley was brought
to light yesterday by the filing of an
Inventory of her estate in the probate
court.
Mrs. Ashley recently conducted a
barbershop at Ai West Madison street
and in my of her patrons, who In the
day gone by may have wished to
"shake the hand that shook Sulli
van's,'' would havo felt pardonablo
pride, doubtless, If they had known
that the razor which so deftly mowed
their beards was wielded by the. hand
of a woman who had hail the much
coveted honor of being formally pre
bented to tho queen of Ktigluiul at a
court inception.
When Mrs. Ashley died he cststo
was at first supposed to bo worth
about 80,000, and the probatu court
tlxcd the administrator'.' bond at
S'1,000. Search of the house, however,
resulted in the finding a iccclpt for
tho rental of a safty deposit box.
When the box was opened it was found
to be empty. Then another and more
thorough seurch of tho premises was
made, and in an old cupboard stocks
and bonds worth Sl?,00J were found.
These assets consisted mostly of rail
toad securities. After this discovery
the bond of the administrator was in
creased to 8 1 1, "00.
Susie Ashley was the daughter of n
wealthy citizen of Massachusetts who
died about twenty years ago, leaving
an estate worth S.10),000. Susie's
oliaicof the property was SSO.000.
She rftcrward became the wife of .1.
C. White, who held several important
government positions at differcut
limes. She became quite a social fa
vorite and traveled extensively in for
eign countries with her husband. On
one of their visits to Kngland, Mrs.
I While was formally presented to the
'queen, a rare honor at that limn for
ii n American woman. About fifteen
years ago she secured a divorce from
her husband and resumed her maiden
name. She also was awarded thu cus
tody of her onlv child. u cl:iin'lit,.r-
who now conducts the barber shop
.which ncr uiotiiei-owiicd.
Mrs. Ashley came to Chicago about
fifteen years ago and lost a considera
ble portion of her fortune in real es
tate ventures. She seldom spoko of
her relatives, and shortly before her
death she declared sho wished none
laf them to have anything to do with
tier estate. She expressed her Inten
tion to leave all her property to her
laughter, but If she made a will It
aus not been found.
