The Eire Alarm.
Chief Burrus has notified the firmen that he
will have the fire alarm rung every day between
12 and 1 o’clock. This action is taken because
the electrician who was sent down by the Game-
well company says* it is necessary, to keep the
sy stem in order. A great many people are be
ginning to believe that this electric alarm system
is a humbug.

AN ENJOYABLE ENVEBTAINMENT. |
It In Enronrairimr.
The reception with which the announcement
that the Enquirer-Sun will issue a special trade
edition hns been met is exceedingly encouraging.
Although the fact was not made known until
Tuesday morning, a large number of orders for
space have been filed in the office. It will be
almost impossible for a representative of the
paper to call upon every business man in the city
and personally solicit his patronage, but wedesire
every business man represented in it. To this
.enclave trust orders will be left at the office at a
day as early ns convenient.
We desire to get out a good paper, and if o\u
merchants and business men will co-operate with
us in this attempt, like they have done in the
past, success is assured. The indications arc
highly fhvomble that they will do this, and so
far the matter has been mentioned to only one
business man who has not given us an order,
and he hnd excellent reasons for not doing so.
It will be out of the question for our canvassers
lo make several visits to one place; therefore it
is hoped every business man will make up his
mind ns to what he will do in tin* premises. We
want to make it the best paper e\ r issued in
Columbus,
mial.

The Concert Last Night for the Benefit of the
Charleston Sufferers.
Madame Grant and Prof. McCormack gave a i
concert last night at Webster hall for the bene- i
fit of the Charleston sufferers. There w r ore only j
about 100 people present. There should have j
been at least 1000. Not only did the entertain- 1
meat merit it, but the object for which it was j
given was worthy of a much more liberal pat
ronage. Madame Grant and Professor
McCormack are both accomplished musicians,
and we have never attended a better concert in
Columbus. The singing of Miss Theresa Grant j
and Miss Hattie Turner was especially fine, and !
called forth frequent and continuous applause, j
The gem of the evening was unquestionably the
“Greeting to Spring,” by Misses Hattie Turner, I
Jodie Struppa, Annie Williams and Theresa '
Grant, During the evening those taking part in
the concert were frequently compelled to respond
to encores. ’ The audience attested its apprecia
tion of the splendid music by frequent and
hearty applause. Following is the programme

Another Earthquake in Colli minis.
Columbus didn’t have another earthquake last
night. But a man here had a private one of his
own. It was a good one,too, and caused no little
excitement for a short time. Yesterday evening j
just at sunset Mr. J. F. Tallant, who boards at I
Mrs. Lary’s, on the corner, of Front and Eleventh t
streets, had just just come in from work. Ho is a j
gentleman who has an ear for music and an eye
—yes, two eyes -for the beautiful. So he sat i
himself down in the doorway of his room with
his guitar in his lap, and while he gazed pen- .
sively at the rod sun going down over the tower
ing Alabama hills, lie was softly playing “Jennie
With the Light Brown Hair.” But he never
finished his song to tell those
who were listening what became of “Jennie With
Her Light Brown Hair.” There was a tall chim
ney just outside his door,and suddenly, without a
creak of warning, it came down like a tower of
Babel. The crash was terrific. And the next
moment the guitar lay tuneless on the floor, but I
the musician was absent. He had taken his Rat j
and gloves and cane and strolled out. ;
No; he had stumbled out. but he had
neglected to carry his hat and gloves and cane.
It was sundown, and cool, and he didn’t need |
them. Others were alarmed by the noise, and '
came with him to see what was the matter. The
chimney had gotten out of plumb and fell of its
own accord. But Mr. Tallant and everybody in
the house enjoyed the occasion just as much as
if it had been a bona tide earthquake.

TIIE COLUMBUS ATHLETIC CLUB.
Tlie Third Anniversary Celebration—Committee*
Appointed for the Occasion—'The Programme.
The Columbus Athletic Club will celebrate its
third anniversary at Villa Reich to-night. This
club was organized in 1883, and its object is the
physical, moral and social elevation of its mem
bers. It hns given numerous entertainments, all
of which have been signal successes. The cele
bration to-night will be no exception to the rule,
and bids fair, if possible, to eclipse all previous
efforts of the club. The following committees
have been appointed for the occasion:
Committee of Arrangements Frank C. Reich,
chairman; Asher A. Bivins, Hen A. Gerson, Max
Simon, Felix H. Burrus, Oscar Sedberry, W. B.
Slade.
Invitation "Committee— Charles J. Eifler, John
Harris, V. J. Pekor, Asher A. Bivins, Max Simon.
Refreshment Committee—Ben A. Gerson,
George H. Smith, John B. Lee, John D. Schnell,
Carl Korchlin.
Reception Committee—Fred W. Reich, Albert
Hchield, John Klucke, Philip Eifler, jr., James P.
Morgan.
Floor Managers—Felix H. Burrus, Oscar Sed
berry, James M. Broadnax, Frank C. Reich,
Robert E. Knvanaugh.
The following programme has been arranged :
1. Overture—Conti’s orchestra.
2. Anniversary address by W. B. Slade.
3. Athletic performances by the club.
4. Delivery of the badge by the judges.
5. Dancing.
The Judges of the athletic performances will
be Messrs. C. Schomberg. W. B. Slade and A. J.
Riddle.
The exercises will begin promptly at 8:15
o’clock. A large number of invitations have been
sent out and many of the friends of the club will
be present.
Tin* College at Auburn.
The A. and M. college, the really—not the re
ported— polytechnics! institute of Alabama, situ
ated at Auburn, will begin its next session Sep
tember 15. Tuition is free. This institution has
a reputation over many states which it has won
by the liar 1 work and ability of its faculty—a fac
ulty that would be an honor to any university in
the country. The A. and M. college is a stand
ing rebuke to many clap-trap colleg s which are
being erected and run in the south of late with
no object but to make money, the last object an
educational institution should have in view.
President William Leroy Broun has a national
reputation as an educator, and his presiding over
the college is a sufficient guarantee that its work
is comprehensive and thorough. Young inen
everywhere who contemplate entering a college
should correspond with President Broun. They
cannot procure a more thorough classical educa
tion anywhere in the country. In this college
the arts and sciences—as the word polytechnic
implies—are taught with special reference to j
their practical application; and this is intensely j
a practical age.
A Forger Captured.
Policeman MciVlich tel ha>s returned from New- j
ton, Miss., with Joseph E. Jenkins, who is
charged with forgery.
In May last Jenkins forged the name of two
road commissioners to orders on the county
commissioners for lumber furnished in re
pairing bridges. TH% last order which ho forged
was not paid, and Jenkins, seeing that he had
been detected in his crime, left for parts un
known. At the next session'of the grand jury
two true bills were found against him, and the
officers were notified to keep a lookout for him.
Several days ago it was learned that lie was near ,
Newton and Policeman McMichael was detailed
to go and arrest him. After spending about two
days in Newton the officer succeeded in capturing ;
liif man, and brought him to this city. Jenkins j
is now in jail, but refuses to talk about his crime, i
The road commissioners whose name he forged ;
are Messrs. J. S. Boland and Joseph Ginn, and
the orders were payable to Mr. George Byrd, j
Policeman McMichael speaks in special terms of ;
praise of the sheriff and deputy sheriff at Newton
for assistance rendered him.
THE FIRST EXCURSION.
Trial Trip Tuesday Horning Over the Covington
uml Ha eon Railroad.
Macon Telegraph.
Yesterday mornii.g at 10 o’clock the first excur
sion was run over the Covington and Macon rail- ;
road. £
At that hour a locomotive with two passenger
coaches attached was in waiting in front of the
city park, at the foot of Walnut street.
A party of about thirty ladies and gentlemen,
to whom invitations had been extended by Gen
eral Manager Frubel, were soon on hand and
aboard, and pron^tly at 10 o’clock the signal i
was given and the train moved off. The trip ex
tended us far as the junction of the road with the j
Georgia railroad, one mile above Roberts’ sta- !
tion, and was in every respect enjoyable. The
run was made without accident of any kind, and
afforded the members of the party, as well as the
general manager, opportunity to test the effi
ciency of the work as far as completed. The dis
tance traversed was fourteen miles.
The roadbed was mostly level, and the run re
markably easy, considering the newness of the
road. The train made good time, climbing the
grades at a lively rate. Returning, the city was
reached at 12:45 o’ch ok.
Among those who composed the party were:
Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. W. C. Gibson, A. E,
Barnes, Mrs. N. R. Winship, Mrs. T. J. Burney,
Mrs. W. A. Crutchfield, Mrs. Keith, Misses Cole,
Walker, Frobel, Hunt, Roberts, Brown, Sussdorff
aiul the following couples: J. S. Ernest and Miss
Rubie Turner, of St. Louis; Mr. J. P. Duncan and
Miss Emily Hines, Mr. Alex. Cranston anil Miss
Alice Carnes, Mr. John S. Persons and Miss Flor
ence Roberts, Mr. Cary B. Townsend and Miss
Hannah Hines.
RUSTICUS' RACKET.
Billy Thrift, Know Why S.in Slnwirnto Didn't
Pro*|tor—Some timid llruoliitions that Ought to
ho .Undo mid Kept.
Editor Enquibrh-Siin: Billy Thrifty
mid Sam Slowgate were two merchants in
the same village and kept the same sort of
\ goods.
Somehow Billy would manage always
to buy his goods at 50 per cent, less than
! Sam would pay for his.
j Billy would sell his goods at the price
1 Sam paid for his and made money mighty
fast, and flourished like a green bay tree.
But Sam, poor fellow! although he was
; up soon and stayed late, and took good
care of all the remnants, and wore out a
1 heap of brooms sweeping before his
j store, and Bhook hands with all the
farmers, and tipped his hat to all
the women folks, and kissed all the
I babies, yet somehow Sam didn’t seem to
i thrive and his affairs got worse and worse, !
until one morning the sheriff went around
and shut up Sam’s store. Then everybody I
: was sorry and said Sam was a clever fel- |
I low, and they wondered why he didn’t get !
along any better. The women all said !
Sam’s wife was economical and was a good j
manager about home, and the men said i
i Sam didn’t gamble and seemed to try i
; hard enough to get along and nobody
could tell what was the cause of Sam’s j
! troubles.
But there was one man in that town who I
knew why Sam didn’t prosper, and that
was Billy Thrifty, th.e other merchant.
: But Billy knew how to keep his mouth ]
shut aud let other people do the talking. I
I lie knew that Sam’s goods cost him too j
much and that he couldn’t stand competi-
; tion with the man who paid less for his
goods.
Now, when I see the fanners in this re- I
gion all a workin’ hard like Sam did, and j
their wives all a wearin’ cheap calicoes and '
a milkin’ the cows and a doin’ their own
housework, and I see thefi ageltin’ poorer
every year, I can’t help but
think of Billy and Sam, the merchants.
There’s bledst to be mighty strong compe
tition somewhere, and I tell you if there is
then there is no use in tryin’ to keep up
the corners agin it. If what we farmers
sell costs us as much ns we get for it wo
are bound to go under and the sheriff is
bound to take charge of our business. I
wonder how many farmers in this country
have set down and ciphered up what their
cotton crop cost them to make it,
and then counted up the money
it brought and took down the difference.
I know some that have tried that, and they
say the reason they don’t like to try it any
more is because the big figures always
manage to get on the bottom side. Well,
there ain’t no use to shut our eyes and let
things drift, for they are sure to keep
drifting down stream. We had better try
and get out of the current.
Now, it seems to me that every farmer in |
tliis country who raises cotton is in compe
tition, not only wit h his neighbor, but with
every other cotton planter from the
Atlantic to the. Rocky mountains. We all
sell in the same market, for the money I
that pays for it all comes from Wall street j
and England. While the sellers are more
numerous than the sands on the seashore, I
or the stars in the firmament, the buyers
don’t puli but two strings.
The Georgia farmer who raises bumble- \
bee cotton is in competition with the man
who raises two bales to the acre. The |
bumblebee farmer is bound to wind up in
a bumblebee hole. The wise man foresees j
the evil and avoids it, but the foolish man I
stumbles and falls in. The cotton farmers |
of Georgia are stumbling and falling every l
year, and the others coining on Dehind
move right up to the pitfall.
Well, we can’t all pick up and move to
rich land, and if we could and thereby
double the volume of the cotton crop, who :
but the consumer would get the benefit
of it?
Now, Mr. Editor, I find your paper is j
working like a forty-horse power steam
engine to build up your city, and to build j
up factories, and railroads, and machine j
shops, and small industries. Well, success :
to you, for we farmers have made up our ,
minds to feed all the people you will bring ;
here. We are going to turn over a new
leaf, and what we can’t eat we are going
to sell to the town people; so tell ’em |
to come and they shan’t have
to send away back to the
north for their food. We farmers have
been clothing all the naked free gratis, j
and been goin’hungry ourselves, and our
generosity and self sacrifices haint been |
appreciated, and now we are going to do
like we boys used to do when we rode
double—we are going to get in front and j
let the other fellows ride behind some.

Cheaper Freight Kates.
The Montgomery Advertiser learns from Mr. C. !
H. Cromwell, general freight agent of the West- !
ern railroad, that a’ considerable reduction lias 1
been made in the freight rates from Montgomery !
to points on the Columbus and Western road, i
The Advertiser says : “ At one time Montgomery
merchants hail a fine trade along that road and
shipped a great many goods to the different sta- j
tions. Some time ago the rates from vlie west ;
were reduced to Columbus, and uo reduction was ;
made from Montgomery. That put Montgomery j
at a disadvantage and took off a great deal of her
trade. The re action just made is from Mont
gomery to Dadeville, Alexander City, Goodwater, i
La Fayette, Salem and Youngsboro and other
stations along the C. and W. road. It removes ,
Montgomery’s disadvantages and will enable our
merchants to again control a large trade to that
section, which was in a preat measure cut oft’by ;
the former arrangement.''

Mn (II n I Lire Pollclen A Kit In,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.
TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER
Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a
life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which amount was paid to his heirs
last week. The total premiums paid had
amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of
South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol
icy in the same company which matured and was
paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82.
The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New Yofk pay the holder at settle
ment about 6M per cent, compound interest on
the investment.
