Heartily About It.
[Corresp'jndence of the Chronicle.]
Atlanta, Gi., M.ij 28.—A very interest
ing and valuable, though incomplete docu
ment never published, is Dr. N. A. Pratt’s
official report to Governor Colquitt, made
October 4, 1882, of the collection of build-
• atones in Georgia. I give it entire, as
an mponant fractional report of our
State', wonderful resources.
"In accordance with the terms of my
appointment to collect samples of building
atones frem the State, through the agency
of such persons as I might be able to in
terest in the matter, at the smallest cost,
after corresponding with prominent men
in each county of the State, I selected and
districted nine (9) sections, where such
material was found, and engaged men in
each to collect and forward the same to
me. The labor of doing so has proved too
heavy f.»r the inducement offered, and only
one of the nine have forwarded me any
samples, though all promised to do so.
••Dr. D. A. Mathews, Elberton, Ga., has
sent to me samples of granite and soap
stone from the following counties, viz:
Blbert, Hart, Madison, Franklyn, Ogle
thorpe and Banks.
"By my own effort and personal visits to
the counties and localities, I have collect
ed and prepared samples of marble, sand
stone, granite, slate and claystone from
the following counties, viz:
"Whitfield, Murray, Fannin, Gilmer,
Pi<k«ni, Hall Cherokee, Bartow, Forsyth,
Gwinnett, DeKalb. Newton, Fulton, Cobb,
Paulding, Floyd, Polk, Haralson, Carrol),
Douglass, Heard, Troup. Upson, Pike,
Barria, Lincoln, and Wilkes. Other im
portant counties I have been unable to visit.
"Most of the samples while good in quali
ty were trken from quarries unopened,
and some of them are not so good as I
would have liked for the National Museum.
Still they will be considered creditable.
"I have gone to the expense of having
some dressed, as far as the prices woula
allow, into and 4 inch cubes, and for
warded them to Washington. The expense
of this dressing, viz, three dollars each,
has since my last talk with you on the sub
ject, induced me to leave the others un
dressed, especially the granites and sand
stones.
"I beg herewith to encloses statement of
expenses incurred 4n this work. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
N. A. Pratt.”
The whole expense_was $221 37. It is
very much to be regretted that a complete
report could not have been made, and it is
to be hoped that the unfinished matter
may be taken up and perfected.
A prominent gentleman thus writes
about Governor Stephens’ religious views
as given in the memorial pamphlet.
"My mind is almost entirely relieved on
the subject of his Christian experience.
Borne of hie expressions seem to cover the
whole ground of the new birth, while
others (notably such as emphasize the
moral virtues as a means, or at
the least, a prima facie part of the process
of salvation) support the shadow of a
doubt, whether he ever knew himself a
■inner saved by grace, through faith in the
atoning blood of Christ. He strangely
talks about being ‘pardoned,* but not ‘jus
tified’—a doctrine which, in its strict
analysis, sets aside altogether the Pauline
theory of the atonement.
"But I feel how ungracious the* task of
the critic is in this connection. Surely
our frit nd is in Heaven. We have no room
to doubt that he availed himself of the
provisi ns of salvation in the Gospel. It
concerns the glory of one higher and a holier
than any human hero of virtue, that no
abatement shall be made in our estimate
of bis office as Savior; and it concerns ns
that we io not lose our personal interest in
it by dividing His honor with any human
idol—even one like Aaron’s golden calf,
ostensibly dedicated to God. He trod the
wtine press ‘alone.’ ”
I heard some striking utterances the
other day on Practical Christianity from an
intelligent representative of a large class of
men, that I take it were much like Gov.
Stephens.
"I am not a member of the church. I
am profoundly concerned in religions
matters, sad have been for yeirs, yet have
never enlisted my name. lam very tole
rant and charitably latitudinarian -ec:e
tic in creeds attaching little value tn
dogmas-believing in the practical Chris
tianity that is more demonstrable in the
repression of a selfish impulse, or unjust
petul nce than in all the conventional
phylacteries that prevail so widely. A
man may lead the prayers in service,
but if he goes home therefrom, and
snaps cnpriciou«ly at the depend
ants upon his means, he is not
living out his Christianity. The woman
who gets npin .he morning out of sorts
and conquers her irritability, and can dif
fuse gentle grace and soft sunshine around
against the tempting impulses of temper
is a more practical Christian than the most
voluminous sermonizer of the church con
vent) de, who faits in small every day
trials. And yet open subscription to the
forms of religion, and enlistment under its
banris, formaland devout, are needs of
our society, and imperative requirements
of in 'ividnai duty.”
I can not h?lp but estimate the real es
tate movement of Atlanta as something
phenomenal. We have cases out West of
extraordinary growth of places, due to
mining excit'uieuts. Oit’es have risen
like magic under the stimulus of gold
fever. But Atlanta is not like such
growth*. It is expanding in a legitimate
way with marvellous celerity, and also
with a substantial solidity. The spead is
healthy and real. Strong enterprises are
giving life blood to the swelling propor
tions of the place. I have given you some
•uegestive instances of real estate expan
sion. The matter is a constant surprise
to our own people. Meeting with Col.
Geo. W. Adair, the Nestor and leader of
our enterprising real estate agents, a won
derful man in many respects, shiewd and
resourceful, a keen judge of property, one
of the best talkers in the world, and the
best handler of houses and lots I know, I
asked him to talk a little on the engrossing
subject. He is a mine of information,
sense and forecast cn this, and in his
pleasant imressive way he discoursed the
following among other valuable things:'
“The real estate business, the way it is
conducted in Atlanta, is peculiar and rath
er interesting. I commenced the busi
ness in 1865, without experience or any
conception of its subsequent magnitude. I
introduced bere the plan of sub-dividing
lots and selling at auction, and when con
ducted fairly it is the fairest way to ascer
tain the true valuation of property. One
reason why the real estate business is sue
cusstul in Atlanta is the constant increase
of population—now about sixty thousand,
including the suburbs, which properly be
long to Atlanta. For an interior and south
ern town, this is a rtpid growth and many
amusing ircidents have occurred in my ex
perience in the increase of valuation.
Would you mind giving me a few illus
trations?
"Well, within tho past three years I sold
a block at auction in the suburbs for $420.
Last week I paid myse! $3,000 for a one
half interest in it. W.;hin the last three
years I sold twenty-one acres at SSO an
were. Three acres of tbs' same tract have
been sold for SIO,OOO. offered two acres
that belonged to Rioharc Peters in 1880
to a gentleman for 515 0- <O. Last month
I sold him one-half of the same tract for
$22,500. I sold two acres beyond the city
hmite on Peachtree street two years ago
for $2,000. Last month I sold one-half of
the same lot for $5,003 cash.
"These instances will give you an idea of

the rapid and profitable change of owners.
It ig safe to ssy that business and resi
dence property has advanced in the last
two years thirty-three per cent. Eligible
vacant property has advanc-d one hun
dred per cent. All praperty has not ad
vanced thus, but it is true ;n any defin
able locality. The tendency to small
manufacturing es'ablishments is constant
ly increasing and every enterprise of that
character has proved profitable to the pro
pclors. The three new railroads and the
delivery of coal for manufacturing pur
poses in the yards here at $2 50 per ton,
the pleasant climate and assured health,
wish the privileges of the public schools,
the facilities for cheap living have de
monstrated the advantage* of Atlanta as a
manufacturing centre. The new impetus
given to the improvement cf the streets by
piving and macadatni ing is remedying the
only drawback we have to our progress as
a city. New it seems that all these enter
prises are moving smoothly on to a suc
cessful consumaticn.
I notice you are having a number of
competitcrs in the real estate business ?
"Ob yes! But there is new business
enough to give them all something. I
never complain at fair competition.
Do you expect this state of affairs to
continue ?
"I do. The new railroad combinations that
are making Brunswick and Norfolk two
imporiant Atlantic por's, tho result of the
Jay Gould and Seney arrangement, will
give a wonderful impetus to all the South
Atlantic and Gulf ports, for it certainly
traverses the finest country on ths face of
the earth when health, soil, climate and
variety of products are concerned. Fortu
nately for us, Atlanta is so situated geo
graphically as to be benefited by all these
important railroad movements.”
Said an old time and v-ry brilliant Dam
ncrat to me on tho puzzling tariff quea
ten:
"I am a free trade Democrat, and have
no sympathy with the attempt to evade
the issue. It ought to be squarely made
and bravely fought out now. But I think
Sam Rmdall is the ablest Speaker who
ever presided over tho House, and have no
faith in Kentucky Yankeys (that’s the way
Win. L. Yancey spelled it—Yankee).
Judge John I. Hall has been in the city
thia week. The ex Judge is practicing
law in Griffin. He possesses an uncom
mon practical sense. He is one of the
sharpest political managers in the State,
yet he has boen out of political life several
years. He was a member of the General
Assembly of 1871. member of the State
Democratic executive committee in 1872,
member of the famous Bond Committee
whose investigations and report stamped
out the fraudulent bonds, member of the
House of Representatives in 1878, mem
ber of the committee on the Northeastern
bond investigation case, a Hancock and
Tilden elector and for a number of years
Judge of the Superior Court of the Flint
Judicial Circuit. He has held important
positions which he has filled with ability.
Speaking of General Toombs’ eulogy on
Governor Stephens. Judge Hall said that
it contained two of the most extraordinary
and striking expressions ever uttered by
any man - expressions of marvellous grasp
and concentration. One was this :
“His whole li f e was spent in the prac
tice of virtue, the pursuit of truth, seeking
the good of mankind.”
And this :
"He was one of the few men I have ever
known who could lose public support
without the loss of public confidence.”
Mr. Gantt, of the Athens Banner- Watch
man, is a very live newspaper man.—
He made one of the most successful
weekly journals in the State, always brist
ling with local news and packed with ad
vertising. He is making the Banner-
Watchman a wide-awake daily, lull of
spirit and vigor, showing extraordinary
industry and vim, and keeping the inter
ests of his town and section before the
country in a hanpy way. It is a great ad
vantage tb a section to have a'journalist
like Gantt. He haft a singularly trenchant
way of dealing with public men rind meas
ures, and will always be a marked force
in the journalism of the State.
Two very valuable speeches or rather
talks were made in the Fruit Growers’
Convention by Mr. Hulburt of the Express
Company, and Mr. Elam Johnson, a whole
sale fruit and truck merchant. Mr. Hul
bnrt urged the necessity of producers
packing, boxing and marking their stuff
well. There was never any trouble if
fruit or vegetables were packed carefully,
boxed tightly and marked plainly and
durably. They were often injured for
want of proper packing and boxing and
missent or delayed ty improper or care
less direction. Mr. Johnson pressed the
need of shipping only good uniform truck
and fruit. Poor stuff would not sell. It
paid no man to ship inferior produce. The
inferior spoilt the good. These two prac
tical admonitions from practical men con
tain tbe whole philosophy of shipping gar
den and orchard crops.
Major Sidney Herbert, in the Culti
vator, gives some very interesting remin
iscences of John Howard Payne, the
author of Home, Sweet Home. He
drifted into Georgia before the Cherokee
Indians were removed and was very inti
mate with John Ross their famous chief.
Thomas Finley, Esq., a'young lawyer of
Atlanta, has an album of his deceased
mother in which Payne and Mirabeau B.
Lama r, wrote. His mother’s maiden name
was Miss Em!y W. Goode. Payne wrote
this verse in her album.
Lady ! vour name, if understood,
Exp’ains yournature to a letter:
And may you never change from Goode,
Unless, if possible, to better.
J. H. Payne.
Montgomery, Ala., July 21, 1835.
Lamar followed afterwards with this fe
licitous reply:
I am content with being Goode,
To aim at better might be vain;
But if I do, ‘its understood,
. Whate’er thecause—it is not Payne.
Mirabeau B. Lamar.
Lamar won fame at the president of the
Republic ot Texas. Payne died poor in
a foreign land. Lamar was a soldier and
statesman. Payne was the thriftless song
writer. Yet by a strange and tragic freak
of fate, the vagabond poet has, with his
chance felicity of music and rhyme, wen
the tenderest immortality of the age,
while the heroic founder of a great State has
but a restricted remembrance, in
congruities of fame tempt the philosophic
to disdain tbe honor of humanity.
Col M. E. Thornton has almost entirely
reorganized the business and editorial

continues night editor. He is improving
his telegraphic, reportorial and editorial

OS A BRUISE.
A Coupl* of Sew York Irishmen “Clean
ing; Out" the Town.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Naw York, May 28.—The attempt of two
or three drunken Irishmen, to day, to
“clean out,” as they expressed it, an Ital
ian quarter in Cherry street, resulted in a
serious affray. Knives and pistols were
used on both sides, and fifteen or twenty
pei sons were more or less seriously in
jured, one or two mortally. The police
did not arrive until the fight was over.
COMING TO TERMS.
Cincinnati's Shoe Manufacturers and
Operatives Settling Differences.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Cincinnati, May 27. Last night the
shoe manufacturers and shoe operatives
came to an understanding and terminated
the lockout which has kept 2,500 men
idle for a foitnigbt. The workmen retract
their refusal to finish certain goods com
menced by non-union men and all the
hands will resume work in all the shops
to-morrow, and will leave the settlement
of the difficulty to a committee of arbitra
tion.
THE RIOTING MINERS.
ALL QUIET AMOXG THE MAD COIL
DIGGERS.
The Militia Idle and the Miners Watch
ful—A Coal Train Stopped. But Al
lowed to Proceed—Warrant* in
the Hands of the Sheriff and
Arrests to Follow.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
St. Lons, May 28.—Reports from Col
linsville, 111., received late last night, say
that perfect quiet prevailed there all day
yesterday. The militia have had nothing
to do and the few strikers there have
either kept out of sight or manifested no
disposition to create any further distur
bance. Reports from Belleville and neigh
borhood state that the strikers held several
meetings at different places, yesterday, but
they were all secret, and nothing is
known of the strikers’ proceedings
or what they intend to do. Their
future action will depend largely
upon what the mine owners do. The most
of the miners will attempt to resume opera
tions to day, the sheriff of the county hav
ing given assurances of full protection to all
men who desire to work. A considerable
number of strikers left Belleville, Satur
day evening, for points south of Cairo, on
the Short Line Railroad. At Lenzeburg
they met a coal train, and threatened to
take possession of it, but finally allowed it
to proceed. It is stated that the militia now
at and near Collinsville will be concentrat
ed to-day at East St. Louis, from which
place they can be more promptly distribut
ed to all parts of the country, should the oc
casion require. Guards will be left at the
Collinsville mine, however. No arrests
have as yet been reported, but quite a num
ber of warrants are in the hands of the
sheriff and they will probably be served to
day.
Women Help! n g Out the Strikers.
The latest information from tbe mining
districts in St. Clair county, Illinois, is to
the effect that work was to have been re
sumed this morning at the Rosehill mine,
near West Belleville; but when the mdn
were about to begin work, at 5 o’clock, a
baud of 150 women, the, wives and daugh
ters of the strikers marching two abreast,
and armed with stout clubs, appeared on
the scene and after seme altercation, com
pelled tbe men to desi-t and the work was
not started. The sheriff’s posse was driv
en back by the women, and the latter are
now in possession of the mine. The mili
tary nre assembled in East St. Louis and a
detachment will probably be sent to Rose
hill to restore order and protect the men
who desire to work.
Farther Depredations by the Women.
St. Louis, May 28.—After completing
their work at Rosehill, and leaving a guard
there to see that their mandate was car
ried out, the women marched to Reinicks
mine No. 1, three miles from Belleville on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and
being re-inforced by a large number of
strikers, drove out the men working there.
The mob at this point is said to be in
creasing rapidly and now numbers several
hundred including abcut one hundred
women, who are the most unmanageable
of the crowd and are beyond the
control of the civil authorities. The
sheriff has telegraphed to Governor
Hamilton for military aid. It is known
that work in the mine was stopped and
that some very ugly threats were made re
garding the consequences of any attempt
to resume.
The Mob at Marissa.
At Marissa, some 15 miles beyond Belle
ville, a crowd of miners appeared in the
morning and demanded that the work
should cease. Deputy Sheriff Ragland,
who was present with a civil posve, told
them that any interference with the work
ing of the mine would result in bringing out
(bo militaryforce, who would arrest all th?
disturbers; He ad^jga?—ttreta to-reti#-
and they did so.
End of Ihe Strike—Labor Wins.
Dayton, Ohio, May 28.—The strike at
Jackson mines has ended bv the consent
of the operators to pay at the rate de
manded. The miners have been unem
ployed two months.
St. Louis, May 29, noon.—The strike
of the Illinois miners, which culminated,
yesterday, in rioting and bloodshed, has
been in progress for fully two weeks. The
remarkable feature of its latter stages was
the active part which the wives and
daughters of the miners took in prevent
ing the new men from working the
mines. These amazons, numbering fully
three hundred, marching in battle
array and supported by about 150 miners,
took ’possession of the mines yesterday
and work was entirely suspended through
out the district. The militia which Gov.
Hamilton ordered out on Thursday, con
sisting of companies from Teylorville,
Edwardsville Rnd Verden, had been con
centrated at East St. Louis so as to be
in readiness to proceed toany point threat
ened. They were placed under the com
mand of 001. Barkley, of Springfield, who
received instructions from the Governor to
take his orders from the sheriff cf the coun
ty in which the troops were stationed. Yes
terday morning Col. Barkley was notified
that a mob had taken possession of the
mines around Belleville and tbe civil an
thorities were powerless. He immediately
started with his three companies onboard
a train and arrived at Belleville late in the
afternoon, when he learned that a mob
had taken possession of mine No. 1, at
Reinicke, a small station on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, in St. Clair coun
ty, three and a half miles west of Belle
ville. The militia started for that
point, reaching it about 5:30, p. m.
From the car windows they saw a mob
cf five hundred strikers and about one
hundred frantic women in possession of
the mine. The women had just come
from Rosehill and, being wild with rage,
were very much more demonstrative than
the men. The train stopped in a ravine
between two high hills and both bluffs
were covered with strikers, the women
having taken position on the summit.
Deputy Sheriff Anthony, of St. Clair coun
ty, mounted upon a box on the depot plat
form, and, addressing the strikers, said he
did not desire to have trouble, but he
wanted the laws complied with and urged
the mob to disperse peaceably. Before he
concluded, the report of a pistol rang
out on the air, followed by two
more shots from the summit of the hill.
The deputy felt the bullet whistle past
his ear, and, noticing where the smoke
came from in the mob, drew his pistol
and fired in that direction. This
was the signal for a general fusillade
from the mob, and one of the soldiers, who
was just getting out of the cars fell with a
bullet through his knee. Two-thirds of
the militia were still in the cars when
Deputy Sheriff Anthony ordered’Col. Bark
ley to give the word to fire, and the Colonel
shouted out the command to his men.
The troops filed rapidly out of the
cars and poured a volley into
the strikers with deably effect. The
latter retreated but returned tbe fire,
whereupon a second volley was given by
the militia. The mob, men and women
alike, scattered and ran belter skelter
through the gullies and ravines. After
the smoke had cleared away it was found
that one of the strikers had been instant
ly killed and another shot through the
head so that he cannot recover. A third
was shot through the hips. Several made
their escape, leaving bloody trails behind
them. The exact number of the wounded
is not yet learned. Twenty-six of
the mob were made prisoners and
are now held by the soldiers in their
camp. Company F, of Edwardsville,
numbering forty-five men, remain at Eei
nick with the prisoners. The Taylor
ville and Verden companies left late
last night for home, but, under or
ders, hold themselves in readiness to
move on Collinsville where trouble is an
ticipated to-day. At a late hour last night
everything was quiet in the Belleville dis
trict.
St. Louis, May 29. Dnpatches frem
Belleville, II!, state that everything is |
quiet the.e this morning. The inquest on |
the dead striker begins at 11 o’clock.
Reinicke mine, where the riot occurred
last evening,is working this morning under
the protection of the militia. This is a
machine mine which does not employ reg- .
ular miners and was working yesterday j
under an agreement with !he miners made ■
some days ago. If any further trouble occurs i
it will be at the mines some distance from
Belleville, which at this writing have not j
been heard from. The sheriff reports all i
quiet at the pits in the immedaite vicinity i
of Belleville. Tho streets of that city are 1
crowded with miners and citizens dis- j
cussing the events of yesterday. The
firing by the militia is not generaly viewed
in a favorable light.
Something About the Slain Man.
Fred. Hoffmaster, a glass blower, who
was killed in yesterday’s encounter, came
from Pittsburg. He had been in Belle
ville two weeks. The glass blowers at
Belleville are on a strike and some of them
were with the striking miners yes
terday, which accounts for Hoffmaster’s
presence at Reinicke mine. There seems
to be no doubt that Deputy Sheriff An
thony ordered tbe troops to fire cn the
mob, but not until several pistol shots had
been fired by the strikers, two cf them
aimed directly at Anthony and Gen.
Reese, who ®rere standing by the side of
the train consulting as to what should be
done.
All Serene at the Abbey Mines.
Collinsville, 111 , May 29 —The Abbey
Mines, numbers 3 and 4, are working with
a full complement of men, and no trouble
is anticipated. Tbe men at work, many
of whom have been in the employ of
the company for quite a number of
years, are satisfied and willing to
work. They are paid by tbe day at
the wages that were fixed when tbe miners
were receiving three cents per bushel at
the other mines, and the wages are entirely
satisfactory. While the wages of other
miners have been reduced from 33
to 59 per cent, the pay of the
men employed in these mines has
not been reduced at all. The attempt
to stop these mines was merely an
effort to stop the supply of coal for St.
Louis, and there were no demands for an
increase ot pay.
A Special Grand Jury-Its Duties.
A special grand jury has been convened
at Edwardsville, by Judge nnyder, for the
purpo-e ot indicting those who composed
the mob, which took possession cf mine
No. 4, and maltreated the men employed
there. There are no indications cf mob
law in this vicinity to-day, and from the
expressions of the citizens of this locally,
heard od all sides, it would not be well lor
a mob of any kind to assemble with the
idea of violating the law again by attempt
ing to interfere with the rights of others.
OTHER STRIKES.
The Cincinnati Bootmakers' Lockout-
Explanations.
Cincinnati, May 29.—The end of the
shoemakers’ lockout does not affect the
lockout of the bootmakers. The boot
makers, in six of the ten factories
here, were locked cut because, as they
say, they refused to agree’ to submit
tbe question of wages to a board
of arbitration. They assert that
the manufacturers desire in that way to
compel a redaction cf wages. The men
have adopted a rule prohibving members
of their assemblies from working extra
hours at night. The Fame rule has been
adopted by ail shoemakers’ assemblies.
Workmen of the Cincinnati Rolling
—^ffl^T^ATi.*'Hay r &Jr—file ■ri’bfkaren—m
the rolling mills here have agreed upon a
scale of prices of six dollars a ton, which
will ba presented to the manufacturers.
It w-»s expected that this would be done
to-day, but it is now said that it will be
offered to-morrow. The manufacturers
are, however, unanimous ins;yingthat
they will a&r-e to no bill of prices not in
accordance with the agreement made with
tbe men a aao.
