Yesterday evening will remain rosy and red- lettered in the history of masonic circles in Co lumbus. Dr. Lansing Burrows, the brilliant and popular pastor of the First Baptist cfauich of Augusta, had been invited by St. Aldemar Com- inandery No. 8, Knights Templar, to deliver an address in the First Baptist church of this city, at 7:30 o’clock yesterday evening. Dr. Burrows has long been well known here by reputation, but he was personally a stranger. But he will be one no longer. His visit is another case of “veni, vidi, vici.” He is a man of military bearing,’ .stalwart physique, majestic, playfhl and winning. He completely captivated his brother knights and everybody else with whom he came in contact. He is an ex-newspaper reporter, and retains much of the “bon homme” and ease that comes only of constant attrition with men of every class, while his wit and brilliance and ‘ hail fel low” air is sanctified by the sweetness of that gospel which he preaches and practices alike to a listening and watching world. The Baptist church was crowded to its utmost capacity last night by an audience which repre sented the very best class of Columbus people, -who were anxious to greet and welcome and hear the distinguished stranger. The proces sion of the Knights up the main aisle in full .uniform, following their banner, upon which ■was painted a cross, with the circling inscription, ■*‘In Hoc Signo Vinces,” was impressive,imposing and beautiful. At the front of the procession •which marched two abreast, were Dr. Burrows and Sir Knight Templar Dr. G. W. McElhaney. They ascended to the platform followed by P. W. M., F. M. Brooks and Rev. Robert H. Harris, pastor of the church. Judge Brooks conducted the religious services, and the music, which was unusually Hue, was furnished by a picked choir, under the direction of Mr. George L. Johnson. Dr. Burrows, who was in full uniform, was in troduced by Dr. McElhaney. Dr. Burrows’ voice is a mellow and liquid bass, and his style of ora tory is terse, succinct and snapping with pointed periods. For an hour every form leaned, every •eye looked and every ear listened. The orator had taken his audience prisoner, and he led them whithersoever he would. To synopsize the -address would sear its beauty, and any attempt to describe it would be like an attempt to add tint to a sunset or perftime to •a bed of violets. It would be both unnecessary .and impossible. To give a cameratic outline, the -speaker described the crusaders, Peter the Her mit, who inaugurated them, the soldiers who fought them, and the sentiment that prompted them. His description of the men and the times •of the crusades was picturesque and vivid. Their heroism he extolled and their fanaticism he deft \y covered with the mantle of an eloquent charity. The Knights Templar of to-day, he said, were the knights of the good and the true, and the modern cruseders against evil in all of its multiplied forms. "“After the Christian era was a thousand years old,” Dr. Burrows continued, “men began to look for some fearfhl judgment to visit the world because of its apathy. Out of this grew the sen timent that prompted the crusaders. BuC after the convulsions of the crusades and after the age of chivalry, and its now-seeing follies, their good •effects remained. And soon the sails of. civiliza tion’s galleys whitened every sea. If the man and the knight—the Knight Templar—of ourday,does not ride forth with his lady’s colors flaunting .-at his crest, if he does not give himself up to penance and penury, he still has his conflicts; be is still a worker and a servant of the truth. He is still struggling and searching after the truth. The crown that a templar wears is not merely a decoration. It is a sign that' he has found the light and the truth. Woe is he, if he walks not in it. His very legend is an aphorism to truth. His sign is a sign of the truth. -A characteristic of truth is its openness. Only those who bury themselves in darkness fail to see its light. The templar has plunged himself in disgrace if the cross he wears is but a decoration and not a badge of mastery.” The speaker then touched on the prejudices and superstitions of old times, at which we laugh to-day. “In old times people thought that cross eyed men were dishonest; that red-headed men were vicious, or that left-handed men were un trustworthy. [Smiles.] We smile at this. But we must be careful,or else in our day we will condemn men on account of their idiosyncracies •or their personal appearance Men are not al ways what they seem. Frequently the greatest villain is the most unctious gentleman in his seeming.” The speaker counselled self-reliance and indepence of thought. “The man,” said he, “who never thinks anything except what other people think, or who never allows himself to think anything unless he thinks they think it, is a chained Prometheus. .John Foster preached, as long as he lived, in a •grey coat and red vest, because he wanted to ex hibit his independence of the clerical uniform of ■his day, which he declared smacked of popery. But he was fighting one opinion with another— not with sense or truth. Brother knights, •when men come to write your •epitaphs let them not say: ‘Here lies a knight who spent liis life fighting that men might wear buttons on the tails of their coats, or that they might part their hair on the side,’ but let them say your service was spent in a great and noble cause.” Dr. Burrows’ perforation was thrilling and elo quent, and at the close the choir sang “Old Hundred,” and Rev. R. H. Harris pronounced the benediction. The large audience then dis persed. An hour later the members of St. Aldemar C’ommandery, together with their distinguished visiting brother, Dr. Burrows, met at the festal board of a magnificent banquet in the Rankin j House dining room. Besides the Knights Tem plar there were present as guests; Mr. E. T. By- ington, of the Columbus Evening Ledger, and Messrs. Eugene Granbevry and Henry Howren, •of the Enquirer-Sun. It is saying a good deal, but Mr. John Scherf, the proprietor of the Rankin House, who is also a Knight Templar, simply out-did himself in the preparation of this banquet. A reporter of the Enquirer-Sun was taken througli the dining room to look at the table before the company came in. And he does not hesitate to say that in a long and varied experience in inspecting banquet tables he has never seen this one surpassed. The table was a frozen picture of culinary art perfected. Amid iced cakes, jellies, quail on toast, hot oysters in every style, meats of every kind cooked in every style, and old wines of rarest brand, whose popping corks kept up a pistol-like fusilade accompani ment to the laughter and the eloquence of the banqueters, alternated pyramids of fruits and flowers reached up to the scintillating chande liers and combined to make a scene that will defy oblivion for many a day to come. Dr. McElhaney was master of ceremonies and toasts. When the supper was finished, and the glasses were filled, he proposed the toast “Our social relations,” to which Mr. J. K. Orr respond ed. Mr. Orr’s response, like all those of the eve ning, was strictly impromptu, but it “brought down the house” more than once. In opening, Mr. Orr said: “I don’t know why it is my ill luck to be the first speaker at every banquet I „ ji 4, North Carolina 4, South Car- re oil assisiaut state geologist, appeared to-day! j oli, '*V u > Texas 3, Virginia 2 I R71 *v I and West \ irginia 1.

Woodstock, Va., November 26.—Tho Shenandoah Herald, owned and edited by Senator Uiddloberger, eon tains an editorial in its issue of to-day which has been read with interest and curiosity, as it appears only a few days in advance ofthe senator’s return to Washington. It is generally con strued to mean that the sen tor does not go to Washington with any belligerent dispo- ure coal. It is estimated that they ! contain noi less than 113,110,000,000 tons, of which about 108,394.000,000 tons would be available. The coal is valued now at about £150,000.000,000 at the mines,oi which | $80,000,000,000 would be profit, being about 200 times the present total assessed value rieudssay that it is consistent with his feourse regarding nominations by the presi dent during the last session of congress.

But I do know that Columbus is worthily called the “Queen City,” and that it is situated on the Chattahoochee river at the head of navigation, when there’s any water in the river. [Laugh ter.] When there’s any water in the river we run six steamers, and we sink one a month. [Laughter.] Gentlemen, it takes a city to stand up to that sort of business. [Laughter.] This is a lively town, especially in winter when cotton comes in. In sum mer we have time to reflect—to reflect on ourselves. [Laughter.] Sometimes in the sum mer, when I wake up in the morning and wash [laughter] and dress, I ask myself what are we living for anyhow. [Laughter.] But Colum bus is a great place, with its street cars and schools ^nd everything that goes to make a city. We have a temperance so ciety here, of which I am president. [Great laughter.]” Dr. Burrows—“Temperance means take a little.” Mr. Scherf—Yes, but you mustn’t take too much. [Laughter.] In our temperance society we don’t take too much; we can’t. Because the rule is not to drink but one keg of beer at a meeting. After the keg runs dry, if we want any more, we have to drink it out of bottles. [Laughter.] I have heard that the world turns round. I know why. Nobody has ever solved it. But I believe it. I’m glad of it, too. For one night I was coming from one ef our temperance meet ings with a friend, and we both fell down. [Laughter.] We couldn’t get up; but just then the glorious thought flashed into my mind that the world turned round and was round, and we couldu’t [Laughter.] If the world had been square and Columbus had been on the edge of it, we would have fallen off that night. [Laughter.] Last summer, when the earthquakes were traveling south [laughter], I went to bed one night and dreamed I died. I dreamed that I went up to heaven. [Laughter, and cries of “oh, no, John, what are you giving us?” j I went up to heaven and such palaces of marble and such streets of beauty and such glory and grandeur I never saw before. St. Peter, wearing a long white beard and a beautiful robe, met me at the door. Said he: “What did you do in yonder’s world?” Said I: “St. Peter, I kept a hotel down south. “What kind of waiters did you have,” said he, “French?” “No, sir.” “German?” “No, sir.” “Italian?” “No, sir.” “American?” “No, sir.” “Then what kind did you have?” “Niggers.” “All right, Mr. Scherf; you’ve had hell enough already. Just walk right in and put on the golden slippers and take a seat up in th e front row.” [ Laughter and prolonged applause.] I looked and saw many angels flying around, some in robes and some unrobed. But all the angels were boys. I said: “St. Peter, ain’t you got any girl angels here?” No,” said he, “did you ever see a girl that was an angel?” “I studied a long time, and at last I said: ‘No, I never did.* ” [Great laughter.] “Then I said: ‘St. Peter, how long before din ner?’” [Laughter.] “We don’t have any dinner here,” he replied. “Then give me some lunch,” said I. “We don’t have any lunch neither.” “What do you live on ?” I asked. “Fresh air and music,” said he. [Laughter.] “Gracious me,” said I, “this is worse than At lanta.” [Prolonged laughter and applause.] Dr. Burrows—“I want the reporter to put that in tli > paper to-morrow, papers to copy it. It is too good to lose. ” Mr. Scherf.—“Well, said I to St. Peter, “ I can’t stay hove.” “Where are you going?” said St. Peter. “I am going back to Columbus” I answered, “and gentlemen here I am. And the next morn- j ing when 1 woke up I was nervous, and all un- j strung. But I smoothed out my pillow and rang j the bell and sent the porter down and got a cock- j tail, and then I was all right once more.” [ Laugh j ter and applause.] Dr. McElhaney then proposed a toast to the health of Sir Knight Middlebrook, an honored I brother, whom sickness kept away. It uas j diunk standing, and the company adjourned, j They Want the Komi. Messrs. B. F. Matthews, W. F. Molder, John | Stevens, Eugene Wynn and Judge James Castle- j bury, of Cusseta, were in the city yesterday. They came ns a committee from Chattahoochee county I to confer with the Columbus and Florida railroad company. They were assured that another sur vey would be made before the line is located, and I that it will pass through Cusseta. They say that Cusseta is willing to do its part to secure the road. A Fatal Collision. Canton, Dakota, November 30.—A pas senger train going west collided with an east bound freight train this morning be tween Parker and Lennox. Both engines are total wrecks. Both engineers and fire men were instantly kiiled. and brown iron ores and lime stones, une qualled nowhere. The coal production in Alabama increased from 11,000 tons in 1870 to 2,235,000 tons in ’85, the coke produc tion from 60,781 tons iu 1880 to 304,500 tons in 1885. Six-sevenths of the 1885 coal pro duction was from the Warrior coal field. Four-fifths of the furnaces and railroads in Alabama consumed coke. The output was nearly all con sumed in the state. The wealth of the Warrior coal fields in buildings, paving- stones, and in its timber and future possi bilities, is graphically noted. Each county above named is sketched topo graphically, geographically and geologi cally in detail with mil and concise state ments of the stratas, etc. The work, the best and most valuable of its kind ever produced in Alabama, reflects great credit upon its distinguished author, Professor McCalley. Dr. Brice, of the state lunatic asylum, testified in the Harris-Gunter case to-day. The testimony induced the judge to order Gunter to the asylum. PARTISAN ON THE SLY. Indiana Demands the Scalp of Third Assistant Postmaster-General Haaon. Washington, November 30.—Among the senators and congressmen who are daily arriving there is considerable talk and comment about the president and his action in the case ol Benton and Stone, the suspended district-attorneys. With the democrats, of course, there is no ob jection urged to the reinstatement of Ben ton or the refusal to reinstate Stone. Mr. equally with democratic politicians, proachful of the president. Newspapers that opposed Mr. Cleveland’s election are meanwhile exempted from any criticism of his administration, except what shall be judicial, fair and in good temper as to its public and official perform ances. The president has been treated by bis political opponents in congress ana in the press, not supporters of his adminis tration, with conspicuous fairness and jus tice. Slight acquaintance with the record of the congress which will terminate on the 4th of March next, and which will end with a greatly reduced democratic major ity iu the house and with slight gains by the democrats in the senate, which is re publican by a few votes, will affirm this statement of the fair treatment the presi dent has received from a branch of the government co-ordinate with the execu tive. Both the president and congress have appeared in equally good humor and amiable purpose of promotion of the in terests of the people, the difference being on matters of opinion honestly entertained on both sides. •‘The president has given abundant evi dence of his political and partisan prefer ences. Outside observation would say that these evidences ought to satisfy complain ing democrats. Republicans and others who opposed Mr. Cleveland’s election are hardly competent critics of his quarrels with his political family. The president’s course, or policy, as it is sometimes called, hau unquestionably opened the way in the south to candid discussion of public men. and to a higher plane ol political thought than that resting upon mere personalities and prejudices. For that result, at least, the president, whether a conscious or un conscious agent, is to be greatly commend ed, or, perhaps, it were more accurately !

" Meanwhile President Cleveland finds no accusers of his fidelity to his party obli gations among Virginians who did not think that a political millennium was to be wrought by his election. Among his fairest and most candid critics, who deny him no praise that he has fairly earned, and neither smother him with honeyed assurances nor assuil him for fuiliug to grntify probably unreasonable demands, are Virginians who sincerely desired his defeat two years ago. With sueh condi tions of public opinion as now prevail, and which demand throughout the country fair discussion and enlightened thought, Presi dent Cleveland may close his official term with much of the general approbation that marked President Monroe’s udminis- tion as the era of good fueling.” O, the shaking of the ague !

Men. Burlington, Vt., Novem er 28.—The nnno'uicoment that Mr. Blaine had snub bed Senator Edmunds by refusing to ac- | cept the latter's proffered hand in the house where tho body of ex-President Ar thur was lying, was received with amaze- j ment by the republicans of Vermont. But thnt feeling rapidly gave place to indigna tion ns the real import ofthe insult dawn- I ed upon their minds. It was not only a snub for thoir senator, but il was an insult . to Vermont as well. Mr. Blaine has had many strong advocates in this state, and next to Senator Edmunds was undoubtedly i the choice of more republican voters of this state for president than any other candidate. The fooling in his favor lmd increased during the last few weeks, since tho contest for the United States sonntorsliip had been settled by the election of Hcnulnr Edmunds to suc ceed himself. But the insult to the latter in the house of tho nation’s dead has large ly changed all this. It is doubtful if in any other state can be found a more clan nish feeling than exists among Vermont ers. When Senator Edmunds was insulted every true Vermonter took it to himself. Outside of this sentiment which emanates from state pride, there is a feeling that Mr, Blaine made a mistake which will cost him dearly. With few exceptions the Blaine men of this state regret the en counter and feel that he belittled I imself to humor a personal spite. Mr. Edmunds lias held all along that he was not con scious of any personal animosity toward Mr. Blaine, and that his course In the last campaign in regard to him was a matter of principle. In relation to tho claim of Mr. Blaine’s friends, that he used his personal influence to keep Ids adherents out. of tho fight against Edmunds, Coi. (1. G. Bencdii t, edi tor of the Free Press, says: “The light was made from first to last by Mr. Blaine’s friends. When the county commissioners throughout llie state had shown the inten tion on the part of republicans to return Edmunds the light against him was main tained by men and money sent to Vermont by Mr. Blaine’s intimate friends in another state, who hired a professional slanderer to come to Vermont and filled the state from one end to Lhe other with copies of the newspaper which printed the scurril ous offusions of the hired llbqler. Tho letter recently printed was not given to the public at the instance of Sen ator Edmunds; it was simply one of a number of explanations of his course given to his friends two years ago, several of which were printed during the canvass,and it afforded no reason why Mr. Blaine should cease to conduct himself like u gen tleman.” Other prominent republicans express themselves in a similar vein and, so far as this state isconcerned, Mr. Blaine has made foes of friends and demonstrated to the republicans us a whole, by one im pulsive act, the lack of one of the most essential qualities for the head of the nation.
