Atlanta Constitution of 3rd, says :
Yesterday the famous case of the dis
puted receivership of the Georgia di
vision of the East Tennessee, Virgin
ia and Georgia railroad was brought
to an end by a settlement which was
approved by Judge Hammond. It
was rumored night before last that
efforts had been made to bring about
a solution of the trouble which was
hampering the operations of a great
railroad and subjecting the public to
serious loss and inconvenience. The
announcement that the settlement
had been affected was the talk of the
day, all over Atlanta, and there was
universal expression of gratification
that the trouble which only a week
before threatened such serious conse
quences had been adjusted so that
the road could go right ahead unham
pered in its operations. ~
The Kimball House is finished
and was formally opened to the public
in all its departments on the first of
May. It is the most magnificent hotel
in the country. Its completion was
celebrated on Thursday night by the
most brilliant social gathering ever
seen in Atlanta. The entire building
was illuminated. “A thousand win
dows brilliantly lighted, threw their
beams out into the darkness. Seven
stories of light! Four sides of it! ”—
The building fronts east on Pryor
street 210 feet, south on Wall street
170 feet, north on Decatur street 170
feet. The basement and first story
cover the entire lot. There is nothing
in the United States to campare with
the grand arcade, which, sixty feet by
one hundred feet in size, extends, with
out n break, to the height of seven
stories and is covered in by a glass
skylight. This light with others over
the side corridors gives to the arcade
an appearance very much like that of
a delightful garden. Cost of building,
furniture, and lot £550,000.
Great is Atlanta! and II. I. Kim
ball is its master spirit.
Death of Hon. Anderson W. Walton.
Mr. Walton was formerly the Ordi
nary of Richmond countv, and no
man ever filled that position with
more fidelity and ability. Possessing
inherent qualities of honesty and jus
tice, with good judgment, considera
ble reasoning faculty, open and man
ly in the performance of the impor
tant duties of his office, he seldom or
never failed to impress those who
had business with him that justice
would be done them. . Such a man is
worthy of respect, and will be remem
bered as a good and useful citizen.
Judge Walton was a victim to disease
for some months, but he bore it with
Christian patience. He is now at rest,
with, as his many friends believe, a
happy immortality beyond the grave.
One of his sons, an excellent young
man. walking in the footsteps «f his
honored father, has been elected to
succeed him as Ordinary of Rich
mond county. This brief notice is
made by one who respected and ad
mired him, and is made at a late pe
riod, because his death occurred at a
time which prevented an earlier no
tice in a weekly paper. With sincere
sympathy for his deeply grieved fam
ily we can only say: Peace to the
ashes of a good man. and a friend
whom we admired and loved for his
many virtues.
Decoration Day.—The Augusta
Editor of the Union & Recorder,
was not present, suffering from a
severe sore throat, and he copies a
few sentences from the Evening
News as follows:
“Memorial Day has not been so
generally celebrated in Augusta for
years as" on yesterday. The streets
were thronged, the-parade was large
and imposing, and considering the
late spring and the scarcity of flowers,
the soldiers' graves were beautifully
decorated. The Ladies' Memorial
Association cannot be praised too
highly for their interest in this mat
ter, and to the success of their many
plans, already set forth, is due
the successful celebration of the
day.
The immense procession of soldiers
and civilians, and the large number of
ladies and children, all took unusual
interest in the memorial exercises and
the masterly address of Mr. W. H.
Fleming crowned the occasion with
an appropriate offering of eloquent
words. His address is published en
tire this morning by our city contem
porary. Mr. Fleming was introduced
by Hon. John S. Davidson, and Rev.
George T. Goetcliius and Rev. Hugh
F. Oliver also took part in the exer
cises at the soldiers’ section in the
cemetery.
The soldiers' graves were handsomely
decorated.

THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIA
TION
Met in New Orleans on the 28th. Dr.
Henry F. Campbell, of Augusta, the
President of the Association, presided.
An address of welcome was delivered
by I)r. Logan. The President then
delivered the annual Address, in which
it is stated, he reviewed the whole
field of medicine, and paid a high
tribute to the illustrious dead and to
the energetic, earnest, living disciples
who labor for the good of the world.
After reports of various committees
were read, the body adjourned until
the next day. These Associations are
doing much good in adding to medical
science, new and more approved-meth
ods to relieve suffering humanity of
painful and distressing ailments which
afflict both body and mind. We have
often thought that the practice of
medicine is a painful and distressing
profession. Its followers have neces
sarily to witness, not only much bodi
ly. hut also, much mental suffering;
hut in their anxious toils, they are
supported hv a holy conciousness of
dispensing health, or allaying pain,
while they are compelled, at times, to
witness the failure of their efforts to
preserve life and behold the anguish
of the friends of their patients, who,
in spite of all their efforts become the
victims of insatiate death. Such men,
who fulfil their duty, should be honor
ed, for they offer up their minds and
often health, in perpetual struggles
for the good of their fellow creatures.
Yea, some deserve to be venerated
for their life-long services in the cause
of humanity. There were instances
of such characters in the life and ser
vices of three memorable gentlemen
of Augusta. Dr. Lewis D. Ford, Dr.
Louis A. Dugas and Dr. Joseph E.
Eve. The two first mentioned have
gone down to the grave, that inevita
bleresting place sooner or later for all,
but they live freshly in the mem
ories of thousands to whose bedsides
they stepped with gentle tread to
whisper words of consoling kindness
and administer the restoring nepenthe
which their cases demanded. The
venerable form of the other, is still
seen ascending the steps which lead to
the couches of the suffering who feel
a ray of strenghtening hope encircling
their hearts as they see a gentle and
hopeful smile upon his benevolent
face. We hope that this great healer,
of human infirmities, may live many
years j et to enjoj- life with his many
friends and especiallj' with his chil
dren and grandchildren, who dutiful-
]>’ honor him as their head and love
him with the most devoted affection.
We have penned these few sentences
in connection with a mere reference
to the meeting of a medical associa
tion. because many take little or no
interest in it when the object is to
promote, still higher, the greatest of
all arts, the art of healing the infirma-
ties of the human race.
SAM .JONES IN ATLANTA.
[Atlanta Constitution, April 30.]
The Rev. Sam Jones has become
pretty well known in Atlanta. Wher
ever he speaks he attracts a large
crowd, and his efforts seem to he en-
joj’ed by most of those who go to hear
him. Last night he preached at Trin-
itj’ church. The meeting was to have
been held in the lecture room, as
prqj’er meetings usuallj’ are, hut that
room soon became so crowded that it
was determined to open the large
church auditorium. This was soon
filled to overflowing. Mr.. Jones,
while the crowd poured in, began to
sing “There is a fountain filled with
blood,” and manv of the congrega
tion joined in. After praj’er and sing
ing he began his discourse on “The
Divine call to a better life,” taking as
his text several verses in the first
chapter of Proverbs. Among other
things he said:
“I want j’ou all to pray here to
night. Criticism is trying to get a-
head of praj’er these daj’s. Personal-
lj’ I don't care for criticism. I have
said manj’ hard things about Atlanta,
perhaps, but I have said nothing but
what is true. The proof is forthcom
ing if it he demanded. Y'ou don’t
want it. Y'ou just want to growl
around, but j’ou don't growl to -me.
If anj’ man who praj’s three times a
daj’, paj’s his debts and does his dut j’,
will come to me and tell jne he don’t
like what I saj’ 1 will listen to him.
Hut I don't care for j’ou uncircum
cised Philistines. [Laughter.] Y'ou
have got nothing to do with me. The
hard things I have said about Atlan
ta have all been said in love. If there
is a people on earth I like, it is these
Atlanta people, and especiallj’ j T ou
folks of Trinitj’ church. But I tell
j’ou that if Atlanta is to be reformed
it must he reformed from the top
downward. Y'ou can’t begin with
the hail and abandoned characters of
the citj* and reform it up to the top.
Y'ou must begin with gilded vice.
These old colonels and majors who
practice their rascality about Atlanta,
are a blight on the community and
> dragging down many a j'oungman
to hell. I would rather mj’ boj' would
live like old
WILLIAM EZZARD
in puritj’ and lionestj- of life and die a
pauper than to have him follow in the
footsteps of these colonels anil majors
anil roll in all the wealth of the world.”
He spoke of the many ways in
which God called men to higher "lives,
and said that he could take the Bible
anil reform the most abandoned
wretch or the wickedest citj' in the
world. His remarks on afflictions as
a means of turning men’s hearts to
God and of purifying their lives were
very impressive.
After his regular discourse he ap
pealed to those who wanted to live
better lives to stand up. Several
hundred persons rose. Mr. Jones, in
closing the service, said he felt thank
ful that his preaching hurt those it
sought to hurt. So did the preaching
of Christ. 1 am getting jnore Christ-
like, 1 hope. ^ I am not j’et as good as
St. Paul. When he preached thej’
took him out and whipped him
good. [Laughter.] 1 don’t think I
will strike the right sort of preaching
until I get to that point and have a
few cowhidings applied to me. But
before a fellow reaches that point he
ought to ask his wife how she would
look in mourning. [Laughter.] He
said: “There are j’oung men before
me to-night who would scorn to go
into the low dens of sin anil vice in
Atlanta, and j’et thej’ are fond of the
gilded and beautiful resorts of sin
which drive men to the depths of
degradation and despair. There is
where sin is strong and there is where
I am attacking it.”
Mr. Jones will preach at Trinity
church at six o’clock this morning and
will probably he present at theservices
there to-night.

How
a A umbei^of Scientists were
Badly Disappointed.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A few j’ears ago a society of eminent
men in Paris discussed tlie question :
“What language would a child natu
rally speak if never taught?” The de
vount Catholics were of opinion that
the Hebrew language would he spo
ken in these circumstances.
One scientist was of opinion that
some form of the Chinese language
would lie the natural tongue. Twen
tj’ different results were predicted.
At last it was decided to test the
matter, and a committee was appoint
ed to carrj’ out tlie experiment.
Two infants were procured and put
in the charge of a deaf and dumb wo
man who lived in tlie Alps anil made
a living by rearing chickens and tend
ing sheep.
The woman was given strict injunc
tions to allow no one to speak to these
children, and as her cottage was some
miles distant from any neighbor, the
circumstances surrounding the exper
iment were verj’ favorable.
Years rolled on, and tnanj’ of the
members of the society had lost sight
of this interesting experiment.
Some members of the committee
died, and there was great danger of
the results of this wonderful test be
ing lost to tlie world.
Fortunatelj-two of the members of
the committee kept faithful watch on
the case, and when the children were
six j-earsold brought them, with their
nurse, into a meeting of the “savants,
Every member was on the tiptoe of
expectation as to the result. Not one
word could either of the children ut
ter ; tlieir only form of language was a
wonderfully good imitation of the
crowing of a cock or tin* cackling of a
hen, or the bleating of a sheep. The
predictions of science were totallj’ up
set by a practical experiment.
A GREAT CONQUEROR.
AVilliam H. Jones, a railroad engin
eer, shot liis wife and then shot him
self, at liis home in Macon last Friday
morning. He shot himself through
the head and died immediately, liis
wife was also shot in tlie head find it
was thought she could not live. Jones
was about 50 j’ears. of age. He mar
ried Miss Kate Norris nearlj’ three
j’ears ago. She was his second wife.
Domestic trouble was the cause of the
tragedy.
From Ocean to Ocean.—Over
twentj’-five j’ears ago Mr. Alfred
Speer.' of Passaic, imported from the
Banks of the Doura, in Portugal, a
few of tlie Port Grape vines, and
commenced careful experiments for
the purpose of producing a first.class
American Port. He has been eminent-
lj r successful, and now Speer’s wine
is known from ocean to ocean, and
endorsed hj- tlie best medical talent
in the world as the best wine now
produced for the use of invalids. For

Temperance.—The following re
port on Temperance was adopted l>j r
the Baptist State Convention, at its
late session in Newnan :
“We are profoundly impressed with
the responsibility now devolving up
on us as individual Christians and
churches to aid, by everj’ means in
our power, in moulding public senti
ment upon this subject and thus hast
ening theilaj’ when the curse of the
liquor traffic-will no longer rest upon
the people of our beloved State. Cliris-
tianitj- involves morality of the high
est tj-pe, and a profession of allegi
ance to Christ commits the man to co
operation with everj’ enterprise which
looks to the promotion of temperance,
uprightness and purity. To be a
member of a Baptist Church is to be
long to the best temperance society
ever instituted: and this, of itself,
should he sufficient to enlist everj’
Georgia Baptist in tlie great temper
ance movement. In saying this, how
ever, we would not intimate that ef
fort should he confined to the fields
opened hj’ our church organizations.
All discreetlj’ conducted associations
engaged injtliis cause should have our
sympathy, our prayers and our co
operation.”
John 1). Stewart, Chairman.
In offering the report, Judge Stew
art, of Griffin, made a strong and elo
quent temperance speech, and ina-
ilopting liis report the convention
aligned itself with his sentiments, a
fair idea of which is indicated b\’ the
report.
Everj’bodj’ hates egotism, j-et his-
torj’ is full of it. Sesostris, one of
Egj’pt’s eavlj- kings, was so full of
egotism, that the fame of his deeds
might long survive him, that he
erected columns in the countries
through which he passed, on which
was inscribed: “Sesostris, king of
kings and lord of lords, subdued this
country hj- the power of liis arms’”
That monarch showed no doubt, a
great deal of egotism hj’ his actions;
hut would it he egotistical to saj’ that
Dr. Bull’s Cough Sjrup lias done
more than subdued a country, because
it has conquered millions of obstinate
colds and coughs, that held their vic-
timsin racks aud tortures, worse than
the Inquisition? We think not! Dr.
Bull’s Cough Sj’rup needs no column
to perpetuate its fame and worth, its
benefaction will be a household tradi
tion among those it has emancipated..
Monumental.
Edgar Poe would have been a hap
pier mortal perhaps if he had had,
when living, the monej’ expended up
on liis monuments after death. A
new monument will he unveiled bj’
the dramatic people of New’ Y'ork at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
May 4, tlie first contribution to a "Po
et's Corner” in that building.
Macon proposes to erect a monu
ment to Siihiej’ Lanier, a rare genius,
whose family, we are told, lias been
munificently endowed hj- Baltimore
and New Y'ork people of means. The
Wilmington Star commends this as
noblj' done, adding: “Lanier was a
native of Georgia, was thoroughly’
Southern, was in the Confederate
service, and never like Cable, forgot
his people and cause.
Possiblj’, some of the Northern
friends who have kindly and gracious
ly helped the widow and orphans of
Mr. Lanier did not sympathize with
him as a Confederate, but admired
him as a man of brains and sentiment
w’ho was an honor to tlie literature of
tlie whole country.
While in the mood, the people of
South Carolina should remember Hen
ry Timroil by a proper monument.
He did not have it superfluity of
bread, but “late remorse of love”
might accord him a stone of sufficient
grandeur.—Chron. & Con.

correspondent discovered that a mar
riage license had been issued to two
prominent societj’ j'oung people of
this city, but the ordinary's clerk re
fused to divulge their names. Y'ester-
day afternoon, at half past four o’clock
the marriage, which was in the nature
of an elopement, occurred at the par
sonage of the Presbyterian church on
First street. The parties were Mr.
Rowe Price and Miss Fannie Bonner,
daughter of Captain R. W. Bonner.
Rev. A. YV. Clishj’, pastor of the Pres-
byterian church, performed the cere
mony. Mr. Eugene Harris and Miss
Emma Stewart were present as the
friends of the high contracting par
ties.
Mr. Price is verj- popular here, and
his bride is a universal favorite. As
far as can he learned, the only objec
tion urged bj’ the young lady’s par
ents to the match was the youth of
both parties. A thousand friends wish
the handsome young couple long and
happv lives.—Atlanta Constitution.
