The Public Library. The librarian requests us to say that he will begin to-day to issue books to the members of the public library again. The Indies’ committees will meet this aflernoon at 4 o’clock to report the result of tbeir labors. The Cotton Crop. From reports received dally at this city there seems to bo no doubt that the cotton crop will be Short. The fermers all agree that tlioy will not make much more than half a crop. The top crop has been almost entirely lost by the recent dry weather. There is a general demand for rain. A SoriouN Accident. Robert, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. Henry Bonner, of Stinson, happoued to a serious acci dent yesterday. He was bearing off lumber at a •aw mill, when he was caught by a piece and thrown against the saw. One of his hips was badly out, and while the wound is not considered dangerous, it is nevertheless ugly and painful. Judge Chilton. Judge Chilton, of the third circuit court, has rev Signed. He went home sick, but so far as any body knows has no intention of laying down his office till his time expires.—Montgomery Adver tiser. The Advertiser, no doubt, inteuded to say that Judge Chilton had not resigned, but simply went homo sick. Columbus Unptist Association. The Columbus Baptist Association will meet with the Baptist church at Talbotton to-day. Rev. R. H. Harris, Mr. H. S. Estes and Prof. II. W. Battle, and probably others, will be present as delegates from the First Baptist church. Rev. J. W. Howard and Mr. J. C. Reedy will be pres ent to represent the Second Bnptist church. The Bession will no doubt be largely attended Ksilway Earnings in 1KS6. Each month's report of railway earnings now continues to show a very encouraging increaso in the aggregate, compared with the previous year, testifying unmistakably to the general im provement in business throughout the country. From the table for August it, appears that seven ty-three roads with mileage of 63,287 miles, or over forty per cent of the total mileage of the country, show gross earnings aggregating $24,- 939,906. The County Registration. The county registration books will close to day. Tho registrars will keep open until 6 o’clock and those who fail to register will be effectually disfYauchised, so far as all the fall and winter elections are concerned. Up to yesterday ovening only 400 in the up-town and 501 iu the lower- town district had registered. There ought to be a thousand in each district. No white man should fUil to register, as no one can tell what questions^may arise during the next few months upon which it may be necessary to vote. The Fate of Sinners. On Sunday morning next Rev. Walker Lewis, pastor of Bt. Paul church, will begiu a series of sermons on “The Fate of the Finally Impeni tent.” Mr. Lewis has devoted considerable research to the preparation of these sermons, and they will doubtless instruct as well as edify. He has never been accused of heterodoxy; but he does his own thinking, keeps out of the well worn grooves, and in matters of opinion, calls no man master. “The Fate of the Finally Im penitent” ought to be an interesting subject to a great many people, aud those who attend the services on Sunday morning will tiud that Mr. Lewis’ views arc unstereotyped and novel, and that the preacher will be abundantly able to give a reason for the faith that is in him. Personal. Mr. C. L. Davis, of the Warm Springs, is in the city. Mrs. C. H. Cook, of Hamilton, is visiting rela tives in the city. Mrs. Hamilton Wilkins, of Augusta, is visiting Mrs. Chas. Allen.

Walton, Brit Williams, Frank Hadley and T. R. Mitchell, of Hamilton, are in the city. Mr. J. B. Allen has roturned’from New York, where he has been purchasing a stock of fell and winter dry goods. Mr. Rowe Price, the popular commercial evan gelist from Macon, is iu the city selling his hard ware. He has an army of friends in Columbus. Mrs. J. L. Howell aud Misses Lucy and Lottie Howell and Mrs. O. J. Howell left forComvav, Orange county, Fla., yesterday to visit relatives. THE KNIGIITH OF LABOR. They Nominate Can ill dates for County and City Office*. “Did you know that the Knights of Labor had nominated a ticket?” asked a prominent citizen of an Enqdirer-8un reporter last night. “No; tell me about it.” “Well, they tell mo that at their meeting last night they nominated John Woolfolk for tax collector, Woolfolk Walker <br tax receiver, Dan Duncan for marshal, Abe Odom for city sexton and H. C. Hargett for the legislature.” “Do you know that to be a feet?” asked the re porter. “I see no reason to doubt it. I have hoard it several times during the day, and suppose it must be true.” Later in the night an Enquirer-Sum reporter saw a prominent Knight of Labor, showed him the ticket and asked him If It was correct. He merely nodded assent, and asked us to pub lish tho feet that the male members of the order will hold a mass meeting to-morrow night by order of the chairman of the executive com mittee. PROMINENT SOUTHERN UYCLI8TS. A Brief Biographical Sketch of a Young Colum bus Wheolmaa. “The Bicycle 8onth” publishes the following sketch of a Columbus bicyclist, headed by an ex cellent cut of the handsome young subject: “We have decided upon devoting a portion of our space each month to the presentation of the likeness and a sketch of some prominent southern wheelman. Had a vote been taken among our readers as to who should first be introduced to them in this series, we feel posi tive that Mr. Ingram would have been almost unanimously selected. Ho is one of the finest riders in the south, has labored earnestly for the promotion of wheeling interests in this sec tion and his pppularity extends far beyond the limits of his personal acquaintanceship. No wheelman has ever approached Columbus, Ga., without having received a warm welcome from General Tom Ingram. His hospitality is pro verbial, and all those who have come in contact with him number him among their most valued friends. Southern nmatcurdom is proud of his membership and h#pes to retain him long in the ranks. “Mr. Ingram was born on March 13, 1864 and is therefore in his twenty-third year. He is five feet ten inches in height and weighs 140 pounds. Mr. Ingram was attracted to the bicycle in 1883, and commenced wheeling in March of that year. He rode until July and was compelled to stop. In May, 1881, he returned to his favorite pastime. His first race was for the^Georgia championship on July 4, and he won il credita bly. He has won every state championship since then, except the ten mile race on July 17, 1886. On the 6th of last July, at Macon, Ga., he feiled to get a position in the three-mile handicap, and was seconel in two races. With these three ex ceptions lie has taken first place in every race in which he entered. “Mr. Ingram is a tireless and enthusiastic rider. In 1885 he wheeled 3284 miles, including a trip from Baltimore, Md., to Springfield, Mass. He was on his bicycle every day this year up to July 16, and had covered 3210 miles. iWith the ex ception of one full, which he sustained while riding with the New Orleans to Boston tourists, he wheeled fr om July 16, 1881, to July 16,1886, without fell or injury of any kind—a record, con sidering tho roads, probably unbeaten. His twenty-four hours record of 102 miles was straightaway and can be appreciated when one has been over the roads in the vicinity of Colum bus, Ga. “Mr. Ingrain joined the L. A. W. In 1885 and has always taken a lively interest in Its affairs. While remaining an ardent devotee of the wheel ho declares that he has retired from the track and will not race again. He is a graceful rider, coasts sand hills as if they were level roads, is fell of grit, and was a leading spirit of the south ern race track while he adhered to it. Although lie will race uo more, he can be depended upon to develop now riders and continue to zealously frirther the interests of cycling.” FIrdoss Locomotive*. At the Baldwin Locomotive Works there are in course of construction four locomotives which are designed to be run on the Honigman princi ple, by the use of soda, which takes the place of file in the boiler. The engines are now nearly finished and are to be shipped shbrtly to Minne apolis, Miun., to be run on the streets of that city, where steam engines are forbidden. In de scribing them the Philadelphia Record says: “The engine has much tije same appearance as a passenger car. It is about sixteen feet long, en tirely boxed in, with no visible smoke stacks or pipes, as there is no exhaust or refrise. The boiler is of copper, Hiy.j inches in diameter, and 15 feet long, having tubes running tnrough it, as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler will be placed five tons of soda, which upon being dampened by a jet of steam, produces an intense heat. When the soda is thoroughly sat united, which will occur in about six hours, the action ceases, and then it is necessary to restore it to its original state by forcing through the boiler a stream of super heated steam from a stationary boiler, which drives the moisture entirely from the soda, when it is again ready for use. The exhaust steam from the cylinders is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first of their kind that have been built in this country, and are being constructed under the supervision of George Kuchler, a German engineer. The engines will have about the same power as those on the New York elevated roads, and will readily draw four light cars. Soda en gines are now used iu Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard tunnel, under the Alps, where steam engines cannot be used, because the length of the tunnel renders it impossible to devise a system of ventilation which will carry off the foul gases generated by a locomotive. So overpowering would those gases become that suffocation would ensue.”—Baltimore Journal of Commerce. You ('aii Tuko Out Rook*. Owing to the late increase in membership, the directors of the library agree that the books be again put in circulation. The people are enthused with a proper pride. This result is in the largest measure due to the ready and cheerftil work done by the lady friends of the library. To them be accorded a fell meed of praise, for their zeal ous and prompt canvass for new members. It is a shame to any city taxpayer that he has to be approached to become a member of the library. The library is a moral, social and intellectual help. Make tho library rooms your headquarters. The latest English, American, German, Russian and French novels adorn it shelves. If one does not wish to read a good, stirring novel, he can there find disquisitions for tho most concentrated mental effort— even to Ketten- 8chluss; or better still, study the works of the world’s historians.

O. O. F., will hold an important meeting to-night for work in the third degree, after which refreshments will be served. The Minstrel* Last Night. Wilson A Rankin’s minstrels gave their one performance in the opera house last evening. The traditional weakness of the American public for burnt cork artists was folly exemplified by the house that greeted the minstrels last night. The opera house was crowded with the best people of Columbus, and the minstrels had no cause to complain at the reception that was given them. The jokes were all new with one etoeption—a rare record for any minstrel troupe. And perhaps such an avelanche of puns never overwhelmed any audience before their troupe took the road. While belles-lettre aurhorities have denominated punning as the lowest order of wit, English speaking people are partial to it, inasmuch as- the pun illustrates more than anything else the wonderfol elasticity of the English tongue. The droll way in which the end men delivered themselves last night was of itself convulsing, and this drollery was sup ported by some of the latest gags and puns. George Wilson, though, became the pet of the audience from the start. He simply captured the house—took it by storm. His recitations, jokes, puns and- songs were all received with vociferous applause. He has few if any equals in his line on the stage. Taken in its entirety the performance was above the average, and the audience were felly satisfied that they had got their money’s worth. A Terrible Tragedy Reported. The Early County News has the following: “ A report reached our town on Sunday even ing that a man named Hightower was drowned in the Chattahoochee river in the fore part of the day. The report stated that Mr. Hightower had been addressing a Miss Wingate, of Henry coun ty, Ala., and that on her refusal to marry him he pulled out his pistol and shot her dead. He made his way towards the river with a view to cross, but was so closely followed by the sheriff, that when he got to the river he left his horse and plunged in to swim across. The sheriff being unable to follow him, commenced shooting at him. Whether he hit him or not seems to be uncertain, but he was seen to sink and never rose again. When this report first reached us, it was stated to have occurred at Howard’s landing, but it was after wards stated to be at Columbia. This has also been contradicted, and wo are not right certain now that there is any truth in it. This,we know, however, that a man came to Blakely on Sunday evening who claimed to have witnessed the af- feir.” Miss Wingate, we learn, was a si9ter of Mr. C. B. Wiugate, pilot of the steamer Naiad, who is at present coming around on the steamer Pactolus from Jeffersonville, Ind. Nothing iB known here of the rumored tragedy. HOTEL ARRIYALS. RANKIN HOUSE. S.

To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir: Success in this world is not a question of brains. Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During these years he took out $11,000 15 year en dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run 11 years he broke up in busiuess and lost all but his policy, for which the company paid him $8,000. This gave him a second start. He said: “If I had not taken an endowment policy I would now have to work by the day, as the money paid for the insurance would have gone into the business.” Respectfully, . D. C McKinnon.
