J. Gres- lium. of Macon; A. T. McIntyre, of Thomasville; C. Z. McCord, of Augus ta; D. W. Lewis, of Dohlonaga; A. S. Irwin, of Athens; H. V. M. Miller, of Atlanta; John W. Beckwith, of Atlan ta; J.

McDaniel of Atlanta. The session of the board was open ed with prayer by Bishop Beckwith. President Gresham presided. The board appropriated $500 for the insurance of the buildings at Athens, and appropriated $1,200 to the branch colleges at Thomasville and Milledgeville. Hon. James M. Smith sent his re signation to the board, and Hon. N. J. Hammond, of the alumni trustees, was elected to the vacancy. This leaves a vacancy inthealumni trustees, the second that will have to be filled at the next July meeting. Colonel Hammond is elected for life. Governor Smith resigns on account of the press ure of his business. On motion of Judge Jackson the interest on the Gilmer fund was ap propriated to Dahkmega for this year. On motion of General Lawton. $1,- 000 was appropriated to Cuthbert, provided the president of the board and the credentials committee can be satisfied that with that appropriation the college can be carried on success fully for the present scholastic year. Judge Jackson introduced a resolu tion that it was the sense of the board that the school of technology should go to Athens, and pro viding for the appointment 01 a committee to co-operate with the commissioners, whenever they are appointed. The resolution was passed. Govern or McDaniel was excused from voting on that resolution. On motion of Mr. Fannin it was re solved that the chair of natural his tory and agriculture should be filled at the July session of the board in 1880 and that the secretary give six months published notice thereof. The meeting was a pleasant and harmon ious one.—Constitution, 27th ult. One Experience of Many.

Ga., whose wounding of his wife and at tempted suicide we noted last week, has died, and his wife is in a precari ous condition. His intellect was un doubtedly unbalanced at the time of the occurrence. The Grand Jury of Earlv county, found a true bill against U. W Davis, charging him with killing Judge J. B. Jones. The homicide whicli occur red some months ago, caused much comment at the time, ami the coro ner's jury called it justifiable homi cide and a succeeding grand jury, re fused to find a true bill on tin- same ground. The action of the last grand jury above noted, causes much com ment and perhaps disapprobation. The result of the Ohio election, leaves it doubtful whether Senator Sherman may be re-elected. The State Senate is democratic, so that Mr. Foraker's nominations may fail, as they have to be sustained by the advice and consent of the Senate. Mr. Sherman may be defeated for re- election. He ought to be defeated. If their bloody shirt ideas are sanc tioned in the North aud West, it will disturb the peace and quiet of the country, we cannot tell how long.— The South has become reconciled in a great measure to the existing state of things and, if met in kindly sym pathy by the North and West, old feelings will die out and peace will be universal in our whole country. .We desire the restoration, perpetually, pf that good feeling between the sec tions. The North and West can main tain it if they will it. We sincerely hope they will do so for the general good. Senator Sherman is a man of distinguished ability and professes to possess the most straight-laced virtue. But it is evident his doctrine and practical morality take two opposite roads. He professes to desire peace and yet suggests political methods that would destroy existing peace. Justice and charity should meet to gether in the settlement of our polit ical difficulties, but he scatters the shadows of falsehood over the South unjustly and uncharitably, to gratify his ambitious aims. With him the web of our Southern life is a mingled yarn of good and ill together, the good in the blacks, the ill in the whites. He reminds us of a charac ter in “Bertram” whom Shakspeare describes as “a very tainted fellow, and full of wickedness.” The South, by common consent owes duty to the Union, and her power claims' justice and respect. Mr. Sherman and oth ers like him, seem to take pleasure in tendering us their revenge and hate. Card of Mr. Theodore Markwalter. All of our subscribers know what we think of Mr. Markwalter as an art ist in his tender and touching line of business. With the exception of a few of* them, wo have told them what we think of his beautifully ar tistic work in memory of the loved and lost. But we have a plan of dis tributing papers to persons who are not regular subscribers, and this makes it proper for us to repeat, in substance wliat we have said before. In monumental sculpture in memory of the dead, lie lias adorned many beautiful and affecting spots in va rious parts of Georgia, with the most tasteful decoration that art can pro duce, such as keep in mind the deep and lingering love of those who still live in the hearts of sorrowing friends. Those who erect monuments over the loved and lost, want ingenious and elegant monumental offerings, such as, by their purity and beauty, will be In sympathy with all the heart's teuderest llowers of affection. Mr. Markwalter is an artist to meet this most sacred want. Some think they must go to Northern climes, or dis tant lauds, for monuments of affec tion and love. Mr. Markwalter lias the genius to gratify the living, who mourn the dead, as well and hand some! y^as it can he done by artists who erect them in the most celebrat ed cemeteries of New York or Paris or London and his prices are as low as the cost of the material and work will permit. FIGHT FOR A GIRL. A BLOODY STREET DUEL IN BIRMINGHAM. Birmingham, Ala., October 26.— Special to Atlanta Constitution.—Bir mingham has bore the brunt of many false reports about her people's mor als, but nothing has so pained her cit izens as the unfortunate shooting of two young men to-night at 7 o’clock. Walter Orr, a handsome young Mis- sissippian, who has >'een here for the past four years in the livery business, and Phil Givan, a clerk in a furnish ing goods store, were in love with Mrs. Mattie Rose. To-niglit Orr had an engagement to carry this lady out to the great revival conducted by the famous Sam Jones. THE ASSAULT MADE. When Orr reached the home of the young lady, she was awaiting him at the front gate, and the two started leisurely down Third avenue toward Sam Jones’ tent, five squares away. After walking two squares a man ap proached, and grabbing Orr's right arm, said: “You are the d—d scoundrel I am looking for.'’ Orr at once recognized Phil Givan. his rival, and at once prepared to de fend himself, as he had previously been warned that Givan would shoot him if he ever caught him with this young lady. Realized the impending trouble, Givan drew a pistol and be gan firing on his rival, while the girl still held Orr's arm. At the first dis charge she screamed ami ran across the street. Orr drew his pistol, re turning the fire. Eaeli had 38 calibre, five shooting Smith & Wesson, and when the duel was over it was found that every chamber of b^th pistols were emptied. BOTH MEN DYING Orr was shot twice, the fatal one entering the abdomen. Givan was also shot twice, once in the arm, the surgeons think the other ball pene trated the bladder. It is thought both men will die before morning. After Orr discharged every ball from his pistol he ran into the house of a friend, near by, and borrowed another, anil reached the street before falling. Gi van walked two squares before calling a hack. Both young men are highly respected, but are not members of leading families. The affair was most unfortunate, as the entire population had become intensely interested in the great gospel meeting began here yes terday by Sam Jones. THEIR DYING DECLARATIONS. Orr staggered into the residence of W. T. McCutcbeon. He was met by Mr. Clayton, who laid him on a sofa. Drs. Hendlv, Shoemaker and Dozier were called, and told him the wounds were fatal. He made a wilL Rev. Mr. Purser, minister of the First Bap tist church came and offered prayer. Mrs. L. H. Morgan also offered pray er. The scene was most impressive. Orr said: “I have been worldly, but if God would let ine live, I would live a Christian life. I love Christian peo ple.” There is much excitement. Gi van ran in the dark to Stollenwerck's drug store, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Luckie. He was hit twice, one being fatal. He will die. Dr. Luckie called on Orr, who was dying, and said: “Ihave a massage for you." He asked the room to be cleared, leaned © veraud^Gnsuj^yii u Orr's “Did'life sajKvfiyhe did it?” • Dr. Luckie said: “I did not ask a question?” Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 29, 18S5. The present occupant of the White House can always be found at his place of business. During the week the whole fashionable world within reach of the Washington race course have been%ttending the autumnal ra ces. President Arthur could always be found there, usually in company with Attorney General Brewster. President Cleveland is known to he an admirer of horses and during the meeting of the Jockey Club, promi nent men belonging to it made an ef fort to have him attend, but the chief executive would not be moved. Mr. Cleveland would have liked to have visited Richmond., V11, Goring the past week on the occasion of the opening of the State Fair, but he was afraid that his presence might he con strued as trying to influence the e- lectiou in that State. After consulta tion with the Cabinet, the trip was abandoned. However, lie will go to New York next week to vote, and it is understood that he will not make any more important appointments until his return. Much nonsense has been circulated recently concerning lack of harmony in the Cabinet, ami the resignation of certain of its members is now being discussed. It is believed by persons who would be most likely "to know, that the President receives the most cordial support from his cabinet, and that their relations are not strained in any case. Mr. Garland, who, it lias been said, would withdraw from the Cabinet, likes the duties of his office, and is making an excellent head of the De partment of Justice. It may* be'in teresting to know how lie looks upon his future politically. He said: "The office of Attorney General came to me unsolicited. The President sought me: neither my friends nor I sought him. When 1 accepted, I determined tq make as good an Attorney General tys I could. When 1 left the Henate my future politically ended. When I leave this office, 1 will go to my home in Arkansas, and I will never again participate in polities.” The presence of Senator John Sher man in this city was made the occa sion of a serenade at the Ebbitt House. A sufficient sum was raised by the faithful Ohioans who did not go home to vote to pay for the music and a little crowd of about two hun dred people listened to the cheap mel ody and cheaper eloquence of the tall, angular Senator, who came out and flaunted the bloody shirt vigorously. He said, near the close of his speech, he was on his way to Virginia. “Yes,’’ said a bystander, “and if you repeat there your speech of to-niglit you will surely elect Fitz Lee." This sally caus ed a good deal of laughter and ap plause. Senator Sherman spoke for about an hour. The purity of the ballot was his principal hobby. He declared that every national election since 1868 had been tainted with fraud and terrorism, and shaking his fist at the White House, he asserted that last year, by unlawful combination and fraud, Grover Cleveland had been elected President of the United States, when if there hud been a fair count, James G. Blaine would have beeu e- lected. He said many other things illustra tive of his immense powers of falsehood and venom, but his declaration that Mr. Cleveland was elected by fraud is edifying, coming from a man who helped to steal the Louisiana vote for Hayes in 1876. A threat he mude of reducing the representation of the South in-Congress is entitled to atten tion, merely as furnishing an insight into Mr. Sherman's purposes and hopes. In regard to the conflicting state ments about Mr. Cleveland's attitude in the New York campaign, it is known that he lias all along been heartily in lavor of Gov. Hill and for the election of the entire Democratic ticket. He had information from his friends in that state that Gov. Hill and the en tire ticket would be elected by a large majority. His action in contributing $1,000 toward the campaiign expenses is only what might have been expected of him. The President's aversion to ap pearing in public prints was the cause of the misunderstanding. Mr. Cleveland holds receptions in the East Room on Mondays, Wednes days, aud Fridays. The attendance at them is increasing every day. Many come desiring to see the" first Demo cratic ^President since Buchanan. All that they ask is a handshake, and the President gives them that as a solemn duty. There are many bri dal couples among his callers, who will remember the glimpse they thus catch of the President, and repeat the account of their visit to their children and grand-children, and treasure the little nosegay he gives them as an heirloom. ANALYZING THE BAKING POW DERS. Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty- four different kinds of baking pow ders, euibrucing all the brands tlmt could be found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandlers, a Member of the State Board and Presi dent of the New York City Boaril of Health, assisted by Prof. Edward G. Love, the well-known 'late United States Government chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders examin ed were found to contain alum or lime; many of them to sucli an extent as to render them seriously objection able for use in the preparation of. hu man food. Alum was found in twenty-nine samples. This drug is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The presence of lime is attributed to the impure cream of tartar of com merce used in their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was also analyz ed, and found to contain lime and other impurities; in some samples to the extent of 93 per cent, of their en tire weight. All the baking powders of the mar ket, with the single exception of “Roy al" (not including the alum and phos phate powders, which were long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by prudent housekeepers j are made from the impure cream of tartar of com merce, and consequently contain lime to a corresponding extent. The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and" absolutely pure is the “Royal.■’ Thisperfeet purity re sults from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepar ed by patent processesof the N. 5 . Tar tar Co. which totally remove the tar trate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no baking powder but the “Royal". . Prof. Love, who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health as well as for the Government, says of the purity aud wholesomeness of “Royal: - ’ “I have tested a package of ‘Royal Baking Powder,’ which 1 purchased in the open market, and find it com posed of pure and wholesome ingre dients. It is a cream of tartar pow der of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or any injurious substances. E. G.

[From the Courier-Journal SOME DAY. Some day when the Sowers have faded, And the summer days have (rone. When the heart of love Is shaded, As yon wait in tears alone. L. t the rays of sunshine cheer you, Wliilc the birds sins' songs of glee; Keep life's roses ever near you, And the future bright shall be. Some day ycur friends will leave you. With the warm, true love they gave— It may be death that has bereft you, And you stand beside their grave. Do not let jour heart grow weary, In the gloom of earth’s dart night; Look beyond those hours so dreary. And behold the dawn of light. Some day, when your age is nearing, And your hair Is turned to gray. When life's prospsets are not cheering, A3 you dream of childhood's dav, bo not turn away in sorrow. With a heart grown cold through care; Watch and wait for a to-morrow* When the sky is calm and fair. Softie day, when love Is bringing lou so near the heavenly throne, An,[ you hear the angels singing, iriilie a kind, dear voice sajs. Come! Do not wait tnis side the river. Through the long, dark hours of night; Go to One who is life's giver In tha world of glorious light. AClil'STA THE ALARM. [Boston Globe.] “Burplars!” cried Mr. Jones. “Burglars’’ screamed Mrs. Jones. Burglars'.” screamed the Misses Jones. “Burglars'." screamed Master Jones, as one after the other lights flashed in the upper rooms, and hasti ly draped forms appeared at the bed room doors like the signal figures of a barometer. Jones and son followed each other down-stairs, one with a poker and the other with a croquet-mallet, and the street door was found open and a silk umbrella, and two huts hau van ished from the rack. Jones senior believed that he saw two heels vanish ing around the corner and yelled "police," but only the echoesans'wered him, and after a careful search of the house and some lamentations over the hats and umbrellas the Jones family returned to their pillows, though each one declared next morning that he or she had not closed an eye. “And the worst of it is,” said Mrs. Jones, “they'll be here again. When burglars determine to enter a house thev always do it.” “I know a fellow who has a splendid dog that he'll sell," said Master Jones. “The fiercest fellow: bite *1 piece out of you as soon as look at you. I’ll get him if yon like, and we can turn him into the hall nights.’’ “Thank you,’’ said Mrs. Jones. “I'd as soon have my throat cut by burglars as be torn to pieces by a savage dog.’’ “But he'd know us all in a few days,’’ said young Jones. “Pa, don't you think it's the best plan?—the big^ gest fellow; you ought to bear him howl.’’ “A dog is impossible in a city house with four feet of garden ground,” said Mr. Jones: “but I’ll buy an alarm and a pistol, and keep it loaded under mynillow.” "Then I shall sleep elsewhere,” said Mrs. Jones. “No, I'll sit up ull night, every night, until I die, before that shall" be done.” “All women are idiots,'’ said Mr. Jones. “All men are crazy,” said Mrs. Jones. “But you shall have your way and shoot your family if you like. That always comes of having fire-arms about.” “Let them come in and murder us, then,” said Mr. Jones. “I suppose you object to the alarm, too.’’ But finally the alarm was decided upon and purchased and attached to all the doors and windows on the lower floor; and two days after this was done Mr. Jones, being obliged to leave home on business, congratula ted himself upon his promptitude of action. “With this alarm you are quite safe, my dear,’’ he said, as lie took his de parture. “The minute you hear it, open the windows and scream for the policemen.” Mr. Jones then stepped into the carriuge, which whirled him to the train which conveyed him to a distant city. Then he became very much occupied with certain important affairs, and when he had been ab sent a month, he forgot all about the burglars, as well as all about the alarm. The letters from home did not men tion it, and so it passed entirely from his memory; and, as at last, he found himself on his homeward way upon a night train which he had taken quite unexpectedly—for he had written the day before that he should not be back for a week—it occurred to him that his arrival would be a delightful sur prise for the family. He 'had his latch-key with, him and he quite chuck led over the thought of letting himself in, and being found snug in bed next morning. Won t there be a time?” said he to himself. “Ma’ll scream. The girls—I can hear ’em laugh. And Sam will pretend not to be astonished—ha, ha, ha!” “So, with his ponnanteau in his hand, Mr. Jones, having reached home, ascended the steps of his domicile anil deliberately but softly proceeded to open his front door. As he did so the alarm was sprung, a racket and jingle filleit the house and simultaneously Mrs. Jones, the Misses Jones, Master Jones, the cook, the chambermaid and the waiter thrust their heads out of their respective, windows and screamed “police!’’ Almost as they did so two clubs struck the pavement and two giants in uniform seized Mr. Jones by the anns. Ah, got vou this time,” cried one of them. We’ve been looking for you for some time, too.” “Let me go,” said Mr. Jones. “I live here. It’s a mistake.” “Y’es, I’ve no doubt it’s a mistake, ,r said the policeman. “But tell them—tell them; let me offer proof,” pleaded Mr. Jones. “They all know me; tell them It’s Mr. Jones.” He says it's Mr. Jones,” cried tho policeman to a nightcap and shawl, at the window. “My husband is in Chicago,” said Mrs. Jones. But she peeped out nervously. However, she did not recognize her husband. Mr Jones had left home in a fall hat and overcoat; but during his absence he had unfortunately purchased a travelling “ulster” that touched his heels, and a cap. He wore both, as was natural upon a mid night jonrny. “No, I neversaw that object before,” said Mrs. Jones. “Do take him away.” “Ilou'11 appear to morrow?” said the E ol iceman. “You’ll appear against im, ina ’am.” “Decidedly. I shall consider it my duty,’’ said the lady, and shut the window. . , ... Then Jones remonstrated with ihe policemen, and begged to have Mr. Smith next door called, and was told to hold his tongue. Jones was not a mild man. Ina few minutes his wrath boiled over; he attacked the police men with his umbrella bravely and was totally defeated. He arrived at the station-house with a black eye and a bruise on his forehead, and frothing at the mouth with rage; and was locked up after having been recognized by several experts as “Tommy the Tap per,” a noted burglar, for whose arrest a large reward was offered. His valise was taken away from him, also his watch and pocket-hook. He was shut up in a cell with an intoxicated tramp who had arrived at that stage of de- liruin tremens at which snakes ore the favorite delusion, and who took poor Mr. Jones for one, or several of them, anil insisted on treading on his head. In argument and single combat with this gentleman Mr. Jones pass ed the hours until morning, when he was taken from his highly-perfumed sequestration anil dragged through the bleak streets to a court of justice, where he attempted to explain mat ters once more, and was still explain ing them without producing the slight est effect upon any one when his wife anil son arrived. Even then the ulster, the cap and the black eye deceived poor Mrs. Jones for a few moments, and but for Sam there is no knowing what might have become of the unhappy gentleman. However, Sam came to his rescue .and tho three went home together in a cab, Mrs. Jones moaning and wring ing her hands all the way, and Mr. Jones threatening to sue for a divorce. He forgave his wife at last, bowev- ■ imt !„• never forgave the alarm, \\lciuolished forthwith.
