Drug stores are so numerous in Atlanta
that they are themselves a drug in the mar
ket. The four thousand dollar establish
ment recently advertised in the Morning
Sews sold in that city at auction on Thurs
day last for one thousand one hundred aDd
tea dollars, which was several hundred dol
lars less thiu the soda fountaiu cost. 8a-
raanah and Macon were represented at the
gale, bat declined to bid. Messrs. Daniel &
Marsh, wholesale druggist <, of Atlanta,
were the purchasers, and will add the goods
to their own stock.

We would remind some of our up-country
newspapers that it is the capital and not the
capitol of the State which the people pro
pose to remove to Milledgeville. There is
nod .-•ir.- to rob Atlanta of “Kimball’s Opera
House” (as the marble slab calls it), now
used as a capitol in that city. Capital is a
seat of government, and capitol is the
building in which its public business is
transacted. The difference is a marked one,
and should be kept in mind ia discussing
the removal question.
An un-uccessful attempt was made on
Wedues lay night last by a prisoner, a negro
named W a. Hull, to make his escape from
the ceil in which he was confined at the

cutting a hole into the flooring of tho cell
and letting himself down iu the basement.,
bat on reaching the floor below found him
self in the arms of a vigilant officer.

The marinium valuation of improved land
ia Randolph county is eight dollars per
acre and tbe minimum value seventy-two
cents. This great difference the grand jury
of Randolph think shows that there is no

Pearls on the half shell are served up in

premiums, namely: for the drill open to this
State only,and also for that open to the Unit

Lieutenant Baldwin, and the score was as
follows—maximum 300: In manual of arras—
GoTenior's Guards, 290: Clarke Lieht Infan-
try ’o7o ; 5‘?, hland Volunteers Itille Compa-
I’ 213; Walker Guards, 235. In company
drill—Got, moris Guards, 292; Clarke Light
Infantry, 266; Walker Guards, 261; Richland
Volunteers, 242. The Governor’s Guard av-
erage was 291, a splendid result worthy of
tqp highest praise. The Augusta company
had been the favorites against the field
Captain Thompson’s company
drilled; then^ opinions changed,
and the beat critics on the ground awarded
them the palm long before the decision of
the judges was announced. The Augusta
boys won golden opinions, and are justly
proud of their splendid record. They sre
satisfied with the result, as they came in
easy second, and attribute their defeat to
the fatigue of a night’s travel and want of
proper rest after their ar 1 ;d Columbia.
They performed se'.oia* evolutions, and
went through several motions in the manual
not set down in the regulations. These
made a great impression npon tho immense
audience, but were very properly not noticed
by the judges. After the announcement of
the result, Captain John Clark’s company of
Hussars, from Augusta, camo upon the
arena and were drilled in marchings and *&■
bre exercises by their accomplished com
mander, displaying wonderful skill and
thorough training.”
Atlanta has been infested by an unbroken
tide of tramps. The report of the Chief of
Police to the Board of Commissioners on
Wednesday evening last says : “ Almost
every night six or eight apply for places to
sleep at the station house. One night as
many as thirteen came and were received
and given a place of comfortable rest. Police
men who have been ou duty for years say
there were never anything like so many here
before. It is questionable if it would not be
best for the city to provide some place for
these men to rest at night rather than roam
abroad, probably to commit deeds of vio
lence in desperation. Ia no case in which
they applied for shelter did they ask for
food. Most of them seem to be working
men from the North and West, and say they
are willing to work if they can get an oppor
tunity. They seem to continue to come in
unbroken lines. What is the city to do for
them or against them ?”
Says tho Marietta Journal: “Mr. Cicero
Emory eloped with Miss Julia Shadner, his
wife’s youDger sister, last Sunday evening,
taking the four o’clock train at this place,
going towards Chattanooga. The writer was
at the train and noticed that the couple were
apparently uneasy, but thought nothing of
the matter after they boarded tho train.
They both live some eight miles above Ma
rietta, and were of respectable families.
Emory left a young and handsome wife and
a prattling child behind. Miss Shadner was
abput sixteen years old, and had been living
with her sister, Mrs. Emory, and her hus
band for some time.”
Hon. J. J. Hamilton was nominated as a
candidate to represent the Fourteenth Sen
atorial District, composed of the counties
of Pulaski, Dooiy, Wilcox and Dodge, in the
next Senatp. The convention a’.so passed
the following: “ Resolved, That this con
vention indorse the course pursued by our
distinguished United States Senator, Gen.
John B. Gordon, and, as Georgians, tender
him onr sincere thanks for his noble work in
defense of our common country ; and, fur
ther, that our worthy State Senator bo in
structed to cast his vote for John B. Gor
don, Georgia’s peerless son.”
The Columbus Sun has tho following ac
count of the first day’s proceedings of the
Synod of Georgia now in session in that
city : “The opening session was held last
night in the Presbyterian Church. The
sermon was preached by the Moderator,
Rev. J. W. Montgomery, of Walthourville.
His text was from Luke xxii, 25 and 26, and
bis theme, ‘True greatness in the kingdom
of Christ.’ After services the Synod con
vened, Rev. J. W. Montgomery acting
Moderator. Oa motion of liev. J. H. Nail,
pastor of this church, Rsv. Mr. Clisby, of
Macon, was elected temporary Secretary.
The roll of the different Presbyteries
were then called and very few answered.
This was partially owing to the
delay of the Atlanta train, beside the entire
representation is expected to-day. Tho
Presbyteries composing the Synod are At
lanta, Augusts, Cherokee, Florida, Macou
and Savannah Presbyteries. On motion of
Rev. J. H. Nall, tho hours of session were
fixed from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. and from 3 p.
m. to 5 p. m. On motion o R^v. J. H. Nall,
Rev. Mr. Haysou, Secretary of the Commit
tee of Publication, was invited to sit as cor
responding member, who will be beard to
night after services. The Synod also passed
the motion of Rev. J. H. Nall that one hour
(from 11 to 12 o’clock) be spent each day iu
devotional service.”
We find the following account of a brutal
murder perpetrated in Bartow county iu the
Cartersvlllo Express: “Ou Tuesday night of
last week a rather genteel-looking working
man, as his appearance indicated, was put
off the train at Kingston. He was a stranger,
it seems, with little it any money, and claim
ing to be from South Carolina. He was
known to have purchased a small bit of
cheese and some crackers. No more was
thought of the man until Saturday about
noon, when bis stark naked dead body
was found about a mile southeast of
Kingston in a thicket of brushwood, and
about fifty yards south of the railroad on
the plantation of Mrs. Beck. The body
was covered with green pine brush.
Farther testimony before the Coroner’s jury
gave the information that on Wednesday-
night a light was se6u near the spot where
the body was found, and low talking was
heard, and three unknown persona were
geen by the light. The deceased was a man
about five feet and six inches, tall spare
formation, weighing about one hundred and
twenty-five pounds, blue eyes, red com
plexion, brown hair and whiskers, bald on
the crown of the head, nose sharp and in
clined to the right, upper teeth very promi
nent, and under teeth receding. He had a
scar on the second finger of the right hand,
and was about thirty years old; had two
scars on the right hip.”
The following resolutions were adopted at
a late meeting of the Rome Chamber of
Commerce, looking to the completion of the
riv^r improvements, now suspended for
lack of appropriations:
— ‘Whereas, The Chamber of Commerce,
considering the great importance, both
local and national, of continuing the work
now being carried on under the direction of
Lieutenant Wm. L. Marshall, of the United
Stages army, in removing the obstacles in
the way of successfully navigating the
Coosa river, and of developing the great
mineral, agricultural agd commercial in
terests of thia section of our country, by
having said work carried out to a comple
tion, upon the plan so wisely aud sub
stantially commenced, and now eo favor
ably progressing. It is, therefore,
'Resolved, That our immediate Repre
sentative iu Congress, the Hon. V/m. H.
Felton, be, and he is hereby most earnestly
aud respectfully requested to make in our
behalf every effort, consistent wi:h his
position, to get such further appropriations
from Congress as will enable the very effi
cient managers now in charge of the work
in cleaning out and making navigable the
said Coosa river, and to £nish the same up
on the plan commenced.
1 Resolved, That a copy of the above re
solution be forwarded to the Hon. Wm.
H. Felton.”
A negro man named James Cooper met
his death at the Bartow Iron Works on Fri
day last under the following horrible cir-
cuni3tances : It seem? that on Thursday
night last he went to sleep near the gas flue,
telling the negro on duty to wake him when
he came off watch, and that they would go
home together. The watchmaD forgot to
o as requested, aud parties going to the
u q 0 the next morning found a crisp-burned
ne^ro laviDg at its umtttb. It wa? the be
lief of the jury and of Dr. Shepherd that he
had gone to sleep at the mouth of the flue,
and poisocous gases arising therefrom had
kiiled him, and the exuding blaze had
burned his body iato a frightful mass of
cooked flesh.
The Albany News says: “Go Tneslay
last a difficulty occurred between Mr. hush
Moree aud Mr. Richter, at Tift s turpentine
farm, about sixteen miles east of Albany.
We cannot learn the details of the particu
lars which led to the difficulty, but it seems
_,hat Richter had, previous to the shooting,
took a gun away from Moree, with which
Moree was attempting to shoot him, and
that afterwards Mcreo procured a gun and
fired on Richter, the shot causing almost
instant death. Mr. Richter was the distiller
at the farm. His home is in Thomas county.
Moree js a resident of Worth county.”
It is to the credit of the Southern press
that notwithstanding the bitterness ex
hibited by Senator Morton towards the
South, ana which was heartily recipro
cated by the Soufcherii people, it has
treated of his character and gareer in
obituaries with respect and charity that
are equally considerate and surprising.

Fair play’s a jewel, and now that we
have been making so much fuss about
incursions from Mexico, it is in order for
the Mexicans to call us to account for
permitting savage bands from the Fort
Stanton reservation to ravage their terri
tory, burning, slaying and robbing. If
Mexico is responsible for the cattle steal
ing raids into Texas, then the United
States is responsible for similar raids into
Mexico. It’s b poor rule that don’t work
both ways. We must say that the Mexi
can plan of dealing with filibusters and
invaders is a good deal uioae ipanly and
vigorous than ours. It appears that when
marauders enter that country, the citizens
get into the saddle and open war on
them. This happened a week or two
ago, and the Mexican party pursued the
Indians across the Iiio Grande defeating
them in a pitched battle, killing and cap
turing several and recovering all the
stolen property. But, so far, there has
been no howl against the Uaited States
nor any outcry about the poor unpro
tected Mexicans on the frontier. They
seem able and willing to take their
chances with invading gangs, and make
no noise when raiders try conclusions
with then). Evidently, this border out
rage businesses two sides to it.—N. O.

In 1874 Mr. Tennyson wrote to a gen
tleman of Hartford: “I have never had
any revelations through acue3thetics, but
a kind of ‘walking trance’ (this for lack
of a better word) I have frequently had
MUite up from boyhood, when I have been
all alone. This has often come upon me
through repeating my own name to my
self silently, till all at once, as it were,
out of the intensity of the consciousness
of individuality the individuality itself
seemed to dissolye and fade away into
boundless being—and this hot a ccnfused
state, but the clearest of the c earest,
the surest of the surest, utterly beyond
words—whose death was an almost
laughable impossibility—the loss of per
sonality (if so it were) seeming no ex
tinction, but only true to life,”
“Alcohol will clean silver.” Yes, alco
hol well stuck to will clean out all the
silver or any other kind of currenoy you
have got.
Atlanta or Milledgeville.
[From the Barnesville Gazette, Nov. 15.]
Editors Gazette: The chief argument
of the supporters of Atlanta is that of
“economy,” and the country has been
flooded with letters of anxious States
men and interested property owners, all
presenting an army of figures to prove
that the retention of the capital in At
lanta will save money to the State. A
careful analysis of these calculations will
show conclusively their incorrectness
when stripped of their fictitious factors
and statements. Kimball’s Opera House
used for a State House should be ex
eluded from the calculation, covered
all over as it is with Atlanta’s mortgages,
judgments and doubtful titles. Not
withstanding Bullook, KimbaU & Co.
forced the State to pay .$250,000 for the
Opera House, and notwithstanding the
fact that all men believe the house was
originally built with the State’s money,
and notwithstanding the city of Atlanta
pledged itself to the Radical Convention
of 1868 to furnish a State House for the
term of ten years, we now find the city
holding a mortgage on the Opera House
for $80,000, which, we are told by Judge
Reese, is as much as the house would
now sell for.
Atlanta threatens to sell the house
under this mortgage if the capital is re
moved.
This leaves us only the James House,
or Executive Mansion, for which we paid
$14)0,000 in gold bonds soon after James
had built it. The cost of the building was
$40,000 or $50,000 aDd Judge Reese
prices it now at $50,000.
The cost of repairs on the State’s build
ing at Milledgeville, to make them ample
for all purposes, will not exceed $10,000,
as I shall show from the official report of
a committee of the Legislature appointed
to investigate the matter. The cost of
removal to Milledgeville will not exceed
$10,000, even including freight on ex
ecutive cabbages. This $20,000 from
the $50,000 realized on the James house,
leaves $30,000 to be turned into the
treasury after we are fairly ensconced in
the honest houses which are our own and
from which we were driven by force and
fraud. If more than the amount of this
mortgage is realized from the sale of the
Opera House, that additional will go into
the Treasury.
To assert that the State will lose the
value of the public square which Atlanta
offers, and the building to be placed
thereon, is to ask the people to believa
nonsense.
Unless the State goes into the real es
tate business and sells out again the
property thus donated, how can it save
anything to the State ? Will anybody
make the absurd assertion that it costs
less to occupy the City Hall or Opera
House in Atlanta than the State House in
Milledgeville ?
Does the mere fact of occupying a
house and grounds which represents a
greater commercial value than those at
Milledgeville diminish taxation ? Or will
it not rather cost more to maintain the
style of magnificence and splendor which
characterized the era of Kimball’s revelry,
and to which Atlanta still clings, than to
live in that dignified simplicity at Mil
ledgeville which is more befitting the
representatives of an impoverished but
honest people. The above simple and
aud incontrovertible statement makes it
manifest to the most ordinary compre
hension that the State cannot lose
money by the removal to Milledge
ville, even allowing for the total loss
of the $250,000 which bayonets and
fraud forced her to pay for the Opera
House. “That mortgage” which is con
veniently held by Atlanta in terrorem over
the voters of Georgia will be foreclosed
in the event of removal and will cover
and secure to the city all the house is ex
pected to bring. With this we have been
threatened all along. But the intention
of Atlanta to sell the house under the
mortgage judgment and to appropriate
the money to the erection of that other
house “as good as the one at Milledge
ville” has been carefully concealed until
recently.
Now, the scheme is poorly concealed in
the letter of one of Atlanta’s ablest ad
vocates when he says “sell the Opera
House and add to this the value of the
public buildings at Milledgeville ($85,-
000), build a new house'on the City Hall
grounds, and the thing is accomplished
without a dollar of expense.”
A hundred thousand copies of this
letter have been distributed throughout
the State by Atlanta. Next to the cry of
economy, we are constantly told that the
public buildings at Milledgeville are to
tally inadequate to the present require
ments of the government. This asser
tion does no credit to the character for
fairness and candor of the gentlemen
who make it if they know what they are
talking about. At various times, before
and since the war, up to the very hour
of forcible removal by the military, large
sums of money have been appropriated
for needed enlargements and improve
ments, which have been made in the
most substantial and appropriate manner.
The last of these was daring the adminis
tration of Governor Jenkins, since the
war.
On all of these occasions the friends of
Atlanta have raised the Glamor for re
moval, but the proposition was uniformly
voted down by the Legislature, and once
in 1855 by the people after wide and full
discussion. But let facts speak for them
selves. As early as 1868, when tbe de
termined efforts of a brave people were
causing the grasp of the tyrants and rob -
bers to relax, and when the total unfit
ness of the Opera House for the purposes
of a capitol had been demonstrated, the
House of Representatives, by a two-
thirds vote, agreed tc carry the capital
back to Milledgeville.
The Senate was still largely Radical
and defeated the effort, but a committee
was appointed to visit Milledgeville and
report the condition of the public build
ings. I quote below so much of the re
port as refers to the present condition
and sufficiency of the State House and
Executive Mansion.
After alluding to the park of twenty
acres, beautifully adorned with shade
trees and shrubbery, which surrounds tbe
capitol, the committee say:
“ The recent improvements so far as
regards the exterior of the building are
perfect, and bid fair for a series of years
to rival in beauty of finish the capito's of
a majority of the other States. The
Supreme Court room, situated in the
basement, cannot be surpassed in design,
cr beauty and excellence of finish. Ac
commodations are ample for members of
the bar; also for guests,” etc. Of the
executive chamber, offices set apart for
the £*screta? , y of State, Treasurer and
Comptroller General the committee say y
“ All improvements necessary for comfort
and convenience are here found, with the
same view to safety and economy.”
The large and elegant chamber set
apart for the Senate has been recently
plastered and painted at considerable
expense. Besides the committee rooms,
it has a gallery amply sufficient.
The walls of this chamber are adorned
with oil paintings, life size, of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Troup, Clark, Crawford
and Judge Jackson, all in a good state of
preservation.
The Representative Chamber is a large
and commodious ball, with a gallery ca
pable of seating one thousand persons.
The walls are"' recently plastered and
elegantly painted. Both halis and their
committee rooms are fully supplied with
gas fixtures and heating apparatus, with
capacity to seat with comfort nearly
double the number of Senators and Rep
resentatives now necessary.” Of the
Executive Mansion the committee say:
“The entire building is in good repair,
and has been recently fitted and furnished
at an expense of $20,000. The materials
were purchased in New York, and cannot
be surpassed. J. A. Maxwell, R. R. Hall,
J. Cooper Ni8bet, committee.”
So much for the assertion that these
buildings are insufficient—an assertion
which has been carried to tbe extent of
reckless disregard of facts.
In this connection we are constantly
reminded of the rapid and vast increase
cf the mate’s library, ‘«wh^h has in
creased tenfold since we left Milledge^
yille,” We are led to inquire if the State
in her poverty has been making pur
chases of valuable books, thus causing
this astounding increase in the library ?
Or is it the huge records of the reign of
corruption which blackens that period of
her history ? If the latter, which is most
probable, would it not be better to
imitate the memorable example of the
Georgia Legislature and Executive, who
disposed of the records of the Yazoo
fraud by calling down the fires of heaven
to obliterate all traces of our disgrace ?
The next plea of the partisans of At
lanta is that great injustice would be done
by her people to hold them responsible
for the vast frauds consummated thi-re.
Let justice be done. But if stern facts,
which challenge contradict'on, fasten re
sponsibility on Atlanta, it is the misfor
tune of that minority of her true and
patriotic citizens, for whom I entertain
the highest respect and whose gallant
efforts have, alas ! failed to control the
action of that wayward city. Atlanta has
been striving for the capital for the last
thirty years as the records of the Legisla
ture will show. Unfortunately, through
her constituted authorities, she seized the
opportunity when the State government
was in the hands of aliens and thieves,
and made to the convention elected when
many thousands of Georgia’s people were
disfranchised.
One of her delegates in that convention
was a person who afterwards did as much
as any living man to foist the Bullock
crowd on the State, and who held a high
office under the Bullock administration.
That man is now Mayor of Atlanta, nom
inated by the so-called Democracy of that
city, over one of her best citizens, a
gallant Georgia soldier. The only virtue
claimed for him is the negative one of
not consenting to all of Bullock’s schemes
of plunder. Yet we are told Atlanta has
washed her hands of all participation in
the usurpation. Another of Atlanta’s
great men built a fine residence at a cost
of $40,000 or $50,000 and immediately
sold it to Bullock and his Legislature for
the State for $100,000. Atlanta, long
afterwards, elected this citizen Mayor.
It is within easy remembrance of the
voters cf Georgia that two of her sons
who had distinguished themselves
the councils of the nation and on
the field of battle, were candidates
for the Gubernatorial nomination.
A spirited election for delegates oc
curred in all tbe counties of the State, re
sulting in a return of delegates for one
or other of these gallant Georgians from
all the counties except Atlanta’s own
county and one other. In Atlanta the
combined frieuds of Colquitt and Harde
man were beaten by a delegation avow
edly in favor of her citizen who sold tLat
private residence. Failing to get him
for Governor, Atlanta declared almost
unanimously for him, as he is at present
her first choice for the Legislature, where
he is now her leading member.
Kimball fled the State, fearing crim
inal prosecution, along with Bullock
and Blodgett. Atlanta sent him a pe
tition with the names of one thousand of
her citizens, begging him to come back
and lead in her “enterprises and develop
ments.”
Bullock fled and secreted himself in a
foreign land for years. When he was
captured, brought to Atlanta and required
to give heavy bonds, leading capitalists
of Atlanta, including Democrats, came
promptly to bis relief, and it was pro
claimed that bo could have made a bond
of half a million of dollars before break-
ast.
That gallant and faithful public ser
vant, Capt. John Jones, who was Treasu
rer during Governor Jenkins’ administra
tion, aud who aided him in placing the
funds of the State beyond the grasp of
General Ruger, and afterwards delivered
all to the people’s chosen officers, inadver
tently paid some bonds of the State which
had been paid before, through the failure
of Bullock’s Treasurer, now Mayor of
Atianta, to make tbe proper record of the
first payment. When honest Jack Jones
was sued and required to give bond he
languished under arrest in Atlanta for
days before he made the bond, which was
finally done by bis friends in other parts
of the State.
Atlanta aids her “developers” and
makes pets of those who have contributed
to her greatness. She seems to day to
place in the front rank men who have no
respectability elsewhere in the State.
Probably thirty men can be named in
Atlanta who own one-half of her twenty
millions of dollars of property. A large
proportion of these men are not p rsons
whom the people of Georgia would select
to control her affairs—yet they exert a
powerful, if not controlling, influence in
Atlanta. In view of these indisputable
facts, who will say Atlanta i9 not responsi
ble for the usurpation and fraud which
located the capital there ? Who can
truthfully say she has ever repudiated
the men who were active in consum
mating it. Atlanta harbors these people,
who are ever on the alert for tbe weak
and susceptible ones among the people’s
representatives, if any of their schemes
are to be put through. Voters of Pike,
let us rebuke this ohroDic agitator, the
“enterprising” city of Atlanta, and re
turn to tbe “halls of our fathers,” where
we can quietly practice public and pri
vate virtue, and that economy which is
demanded by general poverty and op
pression. Fake.
CRAZY MOTHER’S DEED.
Only Prevented from Drowning her Four
Children bv her Ten-Year Old Daughter.
(From the Troy Observer, November 4.]
Seldom has a more fearful tragedy been
enacted in the history of this country
than took place in the quiet village of
Mechanicsville at an early hour yesterday
morning. On Mam street, in that place,
there resided Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Way
and their family of little ones, which
consisted of Clara, a ten-year-old girl;
Freddie, eight years old; George, five
years, and William, an infant, about
eleven months of age. Since the birth
of Willie, the youngest, Mrs. Way has
shown signs of a weakening intellect.
For some time the devoted husband, not
having the means for procuring hired
help to watch her, and not wishing to
separate his loved wife from himself and
children by sending her to an asylum,
kept watch of her movements as closely
as possible, spending many hours of the
night watching by her bedside. About
four o’clock on Saturday morning, weary
of his long vigil, and his wife having ap
parently slept during the entire night,
and being then iu a seeming state of pro
found slumber, be retired upstairs and
in a few moments had sunk into a pro
found slumber. As soon as her husband
was asleep the wife arose, and taking
her three youngest sleeping children one
at a time, carried them in her arms to the
rear of the yard by which flowed a swiftly
running brook, and threw them into the
stream. Returning to the house she
wakened Clara, the eldest child, and bade
her run to the creek and look for Fred
die, as she feared he had fallen in. Clad
in her scanty night robes the frightened
little girl ran to the bank of the creek,
closely followed by her mother, and as
she was leaning over the fence she saw
the upturned face of Freddie, who was
diDging to the wall. Tbe little boy saw
her and cried out, “Save me, Clutee, save
me!” At this instant the mother caught
her by the limbs and flung her over the
fence. The child clung to the boards
and the mother, drawing a large butcher
knife, threatened to cut off her hands if
she did not let go. Alarmed at this
thieat, the girl dropped into the water,
seized her brother in her arms and
started for the opposite bank. The
brook being a narrow one, she reached
the bank in safety, and was drawing up
her brother when her mother, who had
spruug into the cieek, made her way to
the spot and drew him away from his sis
ter’s clasp. Again the little girl essayed
to save her brother, and sprang into the
creek for that purpose, when the mother,
coming for her, she was forced to turn
to save herself. With great difficulty
she made her way up the creek
about one hundred feet, and by the aid
of some overhanging grape vines climbed
up the wa k and ran to the house of her
father. Mr. Way, aroused from his brief
slumber, started for the creek, calling
loudly for aid on the way. As he reached
the stream he saw a short distance down
the dead body of the infant. About
twenty rods from where she jumped
in was tbe crazed woman struggling in
the shallow water. She was taken from
the creek and carried to a neighbor’s
house and the search continued. A few
feet below where the woman was strug
gling was little George clinging to some
boulders, but his strength was well-nigh
exhausted, and a very few minutes more
must have sealed his fate. The body of
Freddie was not rescued until about an
hour later, it having floated further down
to the mouth of the stream and was con
cealed under some driftwood. The dead
children were taken to the desolate home
and laid side by side, and the living cared
for by loving hands. A Coroner’s inquest
was held Saturday, and a verdict rendered
according to the facts. The mother was
adjudged insane and taken to Baliston,
where she will be confined.

A Ball Invaded by a PbayisgBand.—
The North Star Society, composed of
Scandinavians, gave a ball at Turner Hall
Saturday night. Ail went well until a
party of persons, men and women, who
have become very religious, entered the
hall after purchasing their tickets, and
began to pray. One of the party, a
minister who has recently been convert
ing numerous Scandinavians and who
organized this praying band, commenced
to make a speech urging the dancers to
beoome converted. The committee of
arrangements came up and requested
him to step out. The minister then went
into the hall with his companions and
there knelt down and prayed for ten
minutes, creating considerable excite
ment and curiosity. Finally the minister
was forcibly ejected from the building,
but he continued the prayer meeting on
the sidewalk for quite a long time after
ward. The danoe was resumed inside,
and no more attention paid to the pray
ing band. Some of the members of the
band were formerly hard drinking men.

Forty men rode to the Winchester,
gV., jail Monday night and released a
criminal and took him off with them into
B-till county. The man thu3 released
had been convicted of a murderous as
sault on a woman. He will doubtless
hunt up a new victim in a few days and
do his work more effectually. Another
common performance in Kentucky is the
entrance of a jail by masked men
and the seizure therefrom of a mur
derer, who is hung on the nearest
tree. These performances, taken in con
nection with the numerous shooting af
frays, will keep certain counties in Ken
tucky continually retrograding in pros
perity and civilization, and the State gets
such a bad name that all the immigration
societies which can be organized cannot
direct one industrious, resourceful man
here. It is very certain that men who
have time to ride around the country at
tacking jails and murdering citizens have
no definite employment in life. They
are idlers ana curses to any community
in which they live.—Courier-Journal..
Senator Morton’s will gives the whole
of his property absolutely to his widow,
leaving her to use her own judgment and
discretion as to what aid she shall give
their children, in their education and
otherwise, “she being the sole judge of
what aid shall be rendered.” Mrs. Mor
ton is riamed in tbe will as executor, and
is directed to make several small be
quests to various parties. The estate is
valued at about $50,000. The signature
of the will is said to be the last written
by Morton's hand.
Divorces in Sew York.
There are days wben divorce notices
are a good deal more numerous in the
papers than marriage announcements.
Tuesday’s Herald contained seven divorce
petitions and four divorce decrees, to
four poor little marriages, stuok away m
a corner as though they were of no ac
count. It wouldn’t take long to wipe
out marriages altogether if that ratio
should be kept up. Chicago is losing its
laurels. Gotham promises to leave it
next to nowhere in the divorce bnsiness.
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore may
cut in on our commerce, but they can’t
beat us on divorces unless they take away
some of our population. Eleven good
square eases in one day. How is that
for prosperity? The next day’s paper
had four divorces to two marriages,
a falling off on both sides, but large
odds still against Master Cupid. Unless
there is a change pretty soon, the boy
will have to find some other trade. But
it is really rather a serious subject. If the
divorce crop keeps growing at the present
rate, people will soon cease to see any
thing queer in such lawsuits as the one
that was tried here about a year ago, in
which the plaintiff, tho defendant, and all
the witnesses on both sides were divorced
persons. In fact, if the increase contin
ues there will soon be need of courts and
judges for that line of bnsiness alone.
Some courts are almost clogged by it
now, aDd have to farm it out to refereeB.
If there was less of the referee system
there would probably be fewer divorces.
It implies secrecy in the proceedings, aud
that is a strong incentive to ill mated
persons to get their heads out of the
baiter.—N. Y. iMXer.

Bobbee.—The wife of J. M. Berry, the
Union Pacific Railway robber, killed by
Sheriff Glascock, of Fayette county,
Missouri, has brought suit against that
officer for twenty thousand dollars dam
ages. Sheriff Glascock, after tbe wound-
ed robber had been brought into the
town of Mexico, where he died, stated
that be firat called upon Berry to surren
der, and only fired wben he attempted tc
escape, thus committing an excusable
homicide by the fact that it was commit
ted in the lawful discharge of bis duty.
It is stated, on what is claimed to be good
authority, that the real fact is that Sheriff
Glascock crept up on Berry while he was
asleep in the brush and fired both barrels
of his gun without calling on him to
surrender.
