The actual time of compressing the wheels is
hardly a minute to a truck, but often there is de
lay in getting the trucks out from under cars.
There are hundreds of new trucks of the right
gauge that are being used in place of the old
ones, and in the next day or two the roads here
will have one-half of their freight cars changed
to suit the standard gauge of4 feet 0 inches and

Mr. Talmage Richards, of Atlanta, is in the
city, stopping at the Rankin House. Mr. Rich
nrds comes to Columbus in the interest of Delec-
talave, a preparation for the teeth, mouth and
and gums. This is an entirely new preparation
having been on sale in the state for only a few
months, but has won its way among the front
rank of preparations on its merits alone. It is
highly endorsed and ought to meet with a large

Dr. Calhoun, tlie eminent oculist of Atlanta,

elected bishop.
Rev. Mr. Hayes is now stationed at Talbotton.
He is comparatively a young man, but is one of

The appointment is an honor worthily be
stowed, and one which meets the approval of (lie
ministers of this city.
Slow They Were Pun lulled.
For several days past some one had been rock
ing the Mobile and Girard passenger train at
Hurt shore. Mr. A. H. Stevens, the agent, kept a
sharp lookout for the guilty parties, and on Moii-
duy he succeeded in capturing four negro boys.
He sent for their fathers and asked whether they
preferred to give the hoys a severe whipping or
that they should he prosecuted. The old men
preferred to whip them. The hoys were then
stripped, and their fathers gave them a thrashing
which they will not soon forget. A leather strap
was used, and it was laid on with merciless
hands.

as it is expected that the changes will be effected
upon the dates named and the delay to freight
and passengers will be but a few hours. The
company, however, gave notice on the 23d inst.,
‘that all freight received betweon the 25th of.
May and the 2d of June will only be received sub
ject to the delay incident to the change of gauge.
Agents will not receive perishable freights during
this period, unless assured that it can reach des
tination without delay, whether said destination
is on this company's lines or beyond them.
Agents should endorse upon receipts given for
any character of freight during the period indi
cated, “Received subject to delay incident to
change or gauge.’’
Ticket agents are required to keep frilly posted
as to the movements of passenger trains and sell
no tickets that cannot be used without delay to
destination. It is also obligatory* to passengers
to ascertain how far they can go upon trains be
fore boarding them.
THE LOUISVILLK AND NASHVILLE.
The Louisville and Nashville system of roads
change their gauge on Sunday, May 30. Mr. G.
M. Williams, general ticket agent, gives the fol
lowing information in regard to the runding of
trains on that day: There will be no trains arrive
or depart on the Soutli and North Alabama road
that day either morniug or night. No train will
arrive or depart Sunday morning on the Mobile
and Montgomery road, but the train will leave
Montgomery as usual Sunday night at 7:30 for
Mobile and Now Orleans.
The train leaving Montgomery at 8:15 p. m.
Saturday, 29th inst., going north, will be discon
tinued at Birmingham.
The train going south will leave Montgomery
as usual at 7:35 p. m. Saturday, but will run spe
cial and arrive at Mobile some thirty minutes
ahead of schedule time, and then be discon
tinued.

of the work to be done in simply changing the
gauge of a railroad. The change to be made is
simply making the track of southern railroads
three inches narrower to conform to what is ac
cepted as the standard gauge. Doing that neces
sitates a change of the engines and all the rolling
stock of a road. To do the work requires an out
lay of an immense amount, hut it is anticipated
that in time.- a corresponding benefit will come to
the railroads.

that he was not ready to go.
Jim persisted and took off George’s hat and
ran up the bank with it. He then laid it on the
ground and told George to come and get it. When
George went to get it Jim picked it up and asked
Jody Lennihan if he did not want a hat. Jody
said yes, and stepped up to where they were
standing. Jim took Jody’s bat off his head and
put it on George’s head. George took it off and
threw it back into Jody’s arms. The hat fell to
the ground and .Tody told George to nick it up.
George refused, and Jody hit him with his fist.
George, who had picked up some rocks, put them
down and hit Jody with his hand. ’They then

A North Carolina Company That Makes it Into
Yarn.
“Got any news, captain?” asked an Enquirf.r-
Sun reporter of Captain G. M. Williams, of the
Swiff manufacturing company, yesterday even
ing.
“Well, yes,” replied the captain. “I’ve got
something out at the mill that is new to me. It
tvas sent to me by the Acme manufacturing com
pany, whose mills are situated near Wilmington,
N. C.”
“What Is it?” queried the reporter:
“It is a yarn made of long leaf pine straw. I
never saw anything like it before, and it is an en
tirely new use for pine straw. The yarn is some
what of the character of jute, and seems to be
equally strong. It is said to be fine for bagging,
and is also recommended for pillows and mat
tresses, as it is claimed to be a remedy for ca-
tarrah.”
Who ever thought of pino straw being made
into yarn or being put to any other use than cov
ering Irish potatoes or the stable floor? Indeed,
this is an age of progress, and the question is,
“What next?” Who knows but what pine straw
will yet be made into the bagging that covors
every hale of cotton produced in this country?

A silver wedding celebration marks one t
h-appiert mile rtom-s through tlu* jo
To sonic it is a more joyous occasion than the ■
golden anniversary of marriage. The former is
in the heyday of life, while the hnpp.\ couple are
in the full fruition of happiness. They see their
children around them as yet un.scarred by world- ,
]y battles, but with eager hope ready to i nter the
earnestness of the fray. Probably many of the
same friends who were present at the parents’
wedding are now here to congratulate the chil
dren anti hid them God speed.
It is seldom that such a celebration is more
happily observed than the silver wedding of Mr.
and Mrs. Jesse Snider on last Monday night. The
spacious parlors of their residence, on Stcond
avenue, were tilled with neighbors and friend* to
share in their joy. The happy couple were the
recipients of many costly and handsome presents.
At the proper hour refreshments and an elegant
supper were served, which added to the joyous
ness of the occasion. One who was present said
that it reminded him more of a reui wedding
than an anniversary.

dealer in Twenty-fourth street, and goes

of an old Kentucky plantation that was to

The only buildings on the place were a

intended to repair as th<* nucleus of a stock
farm, llis brother-in-law went down from
New York not long ago, and set to work to
strengtlieu t lie foundationsof the houst uui
on digging around in the eellerwhat doyou
think lu* found? Why, a large ease or res
ervoir tilled with thirty-one barrels of
whisky. All of them were properly stamped
and bore tbe date of ISdl. It turned out
that an old bachelor had lived in the house
during the early years of tho c ivil war.
Kentucky was constantly being raided by
one side or the other, and about 1 Stitt the
examined the place where George was hit, and
put some turpentine and liniment on it, but did
not regard it at all serious. George then went
on home, but in about 20 minutes returned and
complained of his head hurting him. The doc
tor says he went on home with George and that
the little fellow complained of such pain that he
gave him morphine, but that he
did not retain it. George told his
father that he believed the pain would kill him.
The doctor tried to assure him that he would be
all right in the morniug, but the little fellow’s
suffering became more intense. Dr. Howard be
came alarmed and summoned Dr. Gilbert.
Everything was done to relieve the sufferer, but
he sank rapidly and died about 1 o’clock in the
night from concussion of the brain. George told
bis father before dying that ho did not want to
fight, but Jody hit him first.
Dr. Howard was filled with emotion as he told
of how his baby boy had been suddenly snatched
from him.
The only point of difference lu the testimony
for the state was as to the part taken by Jim
Martin. Sam Dean and Henry Vaughn testified
that Jim had encouraged the two boys to call
each other “nick names,” and when they began
to fight he hurried away. Jim testified that ho
did not know autyliing about tho fight.
A. A. Dozier, Esq., appeared for the defense.
He said that the line of defense would be that
Lennihan was not old enough to bo amenable to
the law, and that besides his youthfulness, he
had not sufficient intelligence to know right
from wrong. He introduced the mother
of the child, who testified that he
was born on the 6tli of May, 1879,
and was consequently only a few days over sex’en
years old. She said that her husband died about
two years ago and leff her in very destitute cir
cumstances. She had been compelled to work
every day that she was well enough to earn a
livelihood for herself and little children, and had
no time to devote to their education. She was
unable to send them to school, and what little
education Jody had received had been given him
by the Sisters of Mercy. Mrs. Clay, a neighbor
of Mrs. Lcnnihan, testified in support of her
statements.
After hearing the testimony the court ad-
journed until 8 o’clock this morning, and with
held the decision in the case until that time.
The scene in the court room was very pathetic.
The little* boy who was charged with the awful
crime of murder, sat during the whole trial with
a look of perfect innocence of the seriousness of
the charge*. Dr. Howard sat by him and re
marked that lie felt no malice toward the little
fellow, and the only interest he felt iu the case
was that it might result in benefit to him.
