St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—The "Red
Leaders” are abroad In Russia. The
official world Is panic-stricken, but It
I* much more probable, according to
competent observers, that thslr panic
will take the direction of bloody re
prisals rather than the granting of
concessions.
The bold assassination of General
Min, commander of the Semlvosky reg
iment, by a young girl, In the presence
of Jtls. wife and children, the futile at
tempts on tiro life 6f General Kaulbars
at Odessa, which failed only by an ac
cident; the discovery of the terrorists
with bombs In the grounds of the Mar’s
palace, evidently Intent on carrying out
the death sentence against his majesty,
all following dost on the heels of the
dreadful occurrence at the palace of
Prime Minister Stolypln, Is all elo
quent evidence that the campaign of
assassination Is In progress and that
the threats of the terrorists are being
carried out In deadly earnest.
Widespread Plot Found.
Premier Stolypln Is In strict retire
ment for the present, but he Is said
to have urged the cssr to resist the
demand of the 'reactionaries, headed by
the grand dukes, for a military dicta
torship. It Is urged that the former
program be put Into effect as the only
alternative for civil war and worse
outrages.
His two children who were wounded
are >,regressing favorably. The young
woman who Milled General Min de
clares she killed hhn for hts many bru
tal acts towards the people.
It Is stated today that the police
have discovered In the papers of the
perpetrators of the Stolypln massaerr
evidences of a widespread plot.

The campaign for governor has not
been as hot In this state as It was In

Involved—the regulation of railroad
rates. Both Cunningham and Comer
favor this, but Comer championed It
before the people Bret, when he ran for
president of the railroad commission,
and was elected by an overwhelming
majority. All Indications point to a
decisive victory for Mr. Comer. A very
lively Interest Is manifested and a good
vote being polled.

Several of the slaughter house men
of Atlanta will unite their forces and
fight the new meat Inspection ordi
nance which will come up before coun
cil next Monday for passage. The fight
will be commenced at the meeting of
the special Investigating committee
which holds Joint session w'lth the
board of health Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock.
Up until the present time there has
been but little opposition to the ordi
nance. The retail butchers of Atlanta
asked that several portions of the or
dinance be changed. These requests,
made In writing, wero submitted.to thr
committee, and were followed so far
ns prnctlcahle. The rensun for the
fight against the ordinance Is believed
to be that the slaughter house men
thlpk a central abattoir, such as will bs
bunt It the ordinance Is passed, will In
jure the business of the abattoirs now
In existence. However, It Is the general
opinion that a central abattoir will
be the best possible thing for the cat
tle Industry, not only In Georgia, but
throughout the South and will make
Atlanta the Chicago as well as the
New York of the South.
Wide public Interest that has bean
aroused by the Investigation brought
about by The Georgian, and the de
termination, as a consequence of the
findings of the special committee, Wal
ter A. Taylor, ‘chairman, to have pure
wholesome meats In the future, will. It
Is bslleved, sweep before It any oppo
sition which might be thrown In the
The central abattoir Is proposed to
be not only be the most complets plant
of the kind In the South, so far as In
terior arrangements are concerned, but
will have a stock yard large enough
to accommodate any number of ani
mals. The enterprise Is backed by W.
H. White, Jr., formerly Southern man
ager for the Swift Company; J. J. Mc
Lendon, also at one time a manager
for the same company? R. L. Walker
and the 8. C. Wllkerson Sc Bros. Gro
cery Company, as well as a number of
Atlanta capitalists.
The matter of selecting a proper site
for the abattoir and stock yards Is
still In the embryo. Several places
near the river have been gone over and
are under consideration. The final de
cision will be made soon after the pass
age of the ordinance.

the city council, will encourage the
farmers around this section of the
country to raise cattle and will bring
cattle from all portions of the 8oath

lief that' the superior railroad facilities
will also greatly aid In building up the
cattle'business In the South and that
the abattoir will be another feather In
Atlanta’s cap.

ordinance Is not strict enough. The
stricter the better It will suit us, for
without the moot rigid regulations' we
can not' hope to get the confidence of

Edwnrd K. Van Winkle, the young
Atlantan who . recently went to Baku,
Russia, for the purpose of installing
elaborate machinery In oil wells and
oil refineries there, was deported from
the country In a mysterious manner
about two weeks ago.
He was served with papers, through
the British ambassador,,which ordered
him to leave the country Immediately.
The orders came from the Russian
government. - They said the govern

life at the end of 53 hours.
No explanation as to the action was
afforded. Such Inquiries as Mr. Van

by Russian taciturnity and red tape.
It Is supposed that the orders came
from the bureaucracy. m
Mr. Van Winkle, got together his
things, left his' business in the best

He was registered at the Parts bureau
of the New York Herald last week.

Salisbury, N. C„ Aug. 27.—Rowan
apeclal court convened today with
Judge Ferguson on the bench. There
are several homicide cases In addition
to the remaining three negroes ac
cused of the murder of the Lyerly
family, and the lynchers now under Iff
dlctment. When the trial of these peo-
plo began, six negroes were charged
with the crime. The mob hanged
three of these and the officers took
the others to Charlotte for safe keep
ing. Judge Long, on'the day of the
lynching, said If there was any attempt
violence, he would stop the proceed'
Ings against the murderers and fight
out with the lynchers If It takes all
the summer.
Six were arrested. The grand Jury
Ignored the bills against three and one
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary Wednesday, and put on
trial for his life. He Is supposed to
have taken actual part In the hanging
of the negroes. Other Indictments In
minor degrees will follow.
The trial of the murderers will fol
low that of the lynchers. If there has
been any more to arrest the processes
of the court In the lynching matter,
nothing has developed of It. It la
generally understood, however, that
the mob is opposed to trial of Gentle
and something Is liable to develop at
any time.
The condition of Delia Dillingham,
the wife of the murdered Jack Dilling
ham, who was the especial hatred of
the mob, Is such as makes her trial
doubtful.
It Is the heaviest docket In years
despite the fact that since the regular
term In May there have been two
