Special Correspondence Enquiror-8un.
Talbotton, On., September VI.—I am here. I
came yesterday. Expected, of course, to go to
the hotel, as I generally do teat way when trav
eling for my health, but this is one’of the times
that I was not allowed to have my way. You sec
the Columbus association oonvoues hero to day'
Thinking that some of the delegates might up!
rive the day before, the committee were on hand
at the arrival of the train, and tukiug me for a
delegate before I had time to see which
way to start out for the hotel or
to hand in.v Valise to a porter, one
•of the oommittee had iny valise, and apprised
me of the fact that he was appointed to show the
visitors to their homes—wanted to know what
church I was from, etc.,etc.-yousee this is a very
active committee. Tho oft repeated remark of
my grandmother, “better to be born lucky than
rich,” came to ray mind at once and I told him
just to put me down ns a representative from the
best church in the body. “All right,” says he,
“I have a room fbr you at my house." Well, 1
submitted, of course; how else could I do? I kept
my eye on one who i knew was a delegate, and
who might take notice of the fact, that I was be
ing treated ns such and might possibly
blow on me, as the boys sometimes say. Seeing
that he was in the hands ot another member of
this committee, and seeming to be directed, or
rather led in a Homewhat different direction, I
felt relieved, and marched off with my now
friend in a style and manner suited to the occa
sion. A short walk brought us to my temporary
abiding place, and I was ushered into a room
amply provided with all that was necessary to
make a man comfortable and perfectly at home.
The words of my grandmother kept ringing In
my head as I welcomed the courtesies
extended me on every turn; on
the streets, in the court room, etc. I soon
saw that I was indeed “lucky," and now how to
complete the role. Well, as I lay upon one of tho
most comfortable beds ever made I made up my
mind to be present to-day at the organization of
the body, and if my old friend—I felt somehow
that I could trust him—would just insert my name
in the list from his church, I would be willing to
leave myselfto the disposal of this committee for
an indefinite length eftime. Rev. J. W. Howard
was called upon to preach last night, and from the
expressions of different ones I think he mads quite
an impression upon his congregation, which was
large and attentive. Duty was his theme; length
of sermon, 25 minutes-sbowing that he fully ap
preciated the circumstances.
I might have had a little more to say touching
the exercises last night, but the breakfast bell
rang just as I reached that point in my commu
nication, and as the place assigned me at the
table 1b next to the "fried chicken”—waiving a
post oi honor—I hated to be late, and then when
the thread of a man’s thoughts are broken up in
such an agreeable manner as with pleasant com
pany, discussing a delightfal breakfast, the task
of mending is rather too difficult for one unac
customed to such work. So I will ask you to ex
cuse me now, and allow me farther time.
Yours, W.
Birmingham Will be in the Southern League
Xext Year.
Birmingham Age.
The lovers of the national game in this city
bave determined that Birmingham must be in
the Southern League next season with the best
nine that money will secure.
Because Birmingham proved the pudding of
the Southern League last season, it does not fol
low that she will do it again. Base ball famishes
cheap and pleasant amusement during the sum
mer months, and with a good nine in the league
and grounds in a good location, every game in
this city will be well patronized and the club will
make money from the start.
Yesterday books of subscription to the Birm
ingham Base Ball Association were opened and
a good part of tho stock was subscribed. The
balance will no doubt be taken to-day. The
capital stock is fixed at (5000, divided into one
hundred shares of (50, and every lovor of the
sport can afford to take at least one share. Only
10 per cent, of the capital stock will be called in
at present, as that wil! be sufficient to raibe the
guarantee of (500, aud if a good nine is secured
and the affairs of the association properly
managed, it will not be necessary to pay in more
than 50 per cent, of the capital stock.
Birmingham can and will support a good base
ball club, and all lovers of the sport should sub
scribe to the stock and help to make the move
ment a success.
Judge Chilton Resigned.
Judge Juo. M. Chilton, who was appointed ]
judge of the third circuit, vice Judgo Clayton, re- I
eigued his office on yesterday, and Judge J. M.
-Carmichael, judge-elect, has been appointed to
fill the vacancy. This step was rendered necessary
on Judge Chilton's part by an attack of chills and
fever which rendered him unable to hold the
Court at Geneva this week, and probably other
courts of the circuit. Being unwilling that the
terms of these courts should pass by withuot the
courts being held, he preferred to resign a nd
requested the immedfate appointment of Judge
Carmichael. Few judicial officers have ever suc
ceeded in impressing themselves so favorably on
the bar and the peoplo in so brief a period of
time as Judge Chilton has in his circuit. His
uprightness, ability, impartiality and rapid dis
patch of business attracted general attention
and commendation. His many friends wish for
him a speedy restoration to health and a pros
perous future.
Judge Carmichael was elected judge of the third
circuit at the August election for the fall term of
six years, and it follows in the natural course of
things that he should be appointed to the
vacancy occasioned by Judge Chilton’s resigna
tion. It is safe to predict that he will make an
able, impartial and industrious judicial officer.
His record in other positions is a guarantee that
this will be the case.—Montgomery Advertiser.

DOTS FROM DELTA.
A burglar Jsllril—A Preacher's Farewell Her-
men—Points About Politics, Kte.
Delta, Mnoon County. Ga., September
JJ.-Liwt Monday night, the 13th instant,
ine store of W. H. Thornton, about two
e !leru ’ was broken open while
■ /bornton was at supper. Suspicion
pointed to two negro boys who lived at
Reynolds as having committed the bur
glary. One of t hese boys, Manford Ander-
sou, was arrested and brought before Jus-
uee A. \V. llieks, who, after hearing the
evidence, ordered that the said Manford
Anderson appear at the next superior
court for a further investigation of his
'-•use. Failing to make a sufficient bond he
was sent to Oglethorpe, and will be con-
■?r le j u , tli0 county jail until, the third
Monday in November, when our superior
court convenes. His accomplice, Charlie
Gray, is still at large.
Rev. J. J. Farmer preached his last ser
mon lit Farmer’s Academy on Sunday, the
i-th inst. He bade adieu to his congrega
tion at Reynolds yesterday, Mr. Farmer
is a young man. He graduated at Mercer
university last year, lie now proposes to
take a theological course. It is with great
reluctance that his churches consent to his
resignation. When his course shall have
been completed it is fondly hoped that his
lot may be cast with us again.
The reading clubs at Gardou Valley and
F armer’s Academy have united, and meet
alternately at their respective places of
meeting.
Saturday, the 18th inst., was the day ap
pointed by the executive committee for
the nomination of county officials. The
polls were not opened in this and tho Gar
den Valley district. The nominees for the
offices of receiver and collector of taxes
will each be opposed by independent can
didates. For some reasons, known only to
them, they were not willing to submit
their chances to the democratic white
voters of the county. They propose, how
ever, to meet the nominees on the field of
action next January, where they will have
an opportunity to ask "Mr. Nigger” for his
ever ready help in such timos of need.
Messrs. II. G. Tanton and William L.
Blackmon are both quite sick. Our com
munity has been remarkably healthy, not
withstanding the oppressively hot and
dry weather. The turnip crop will be a
complete failure, owing to the dry
weather.
Whisky selling seems to be on a boom in
this part of our county. We have two
shops retailing in our district, one ready
to open and two more in process of con
struction. The anti-prohinitionista say
they want every man to sell what he
plenses. In this oase they have certainly
been gratified. This, Mr. Editor, is a
shame aud a disgrace to any community,
but is, nevertheless, true, and is regretted
by all good citizens. We hope it will not
always be thus.
Miss Minnie Carson, who has been in
Florida for several months, is expected
home soon.
Miss Della Johnson, who has been
spending some time with relatives at
Delta, has returned to her home In Colum
bus, acoompanied by her cousin, Miss
Anna Ogburn.
Messrs. Bartow and George Williams,ac
oompanied by Misses Nena Williams from
Americus, Janie Williams from Ogle
thorpe, and Margie Fish from Alabama,
spent last Thursday with Miss Alice
Hicks.
Mrs. S. 8. Carson left last Tuesday to
spend several months with her daughter,
Mrs. W. B. Hinton, at Spring Vale.
THE PEOPLE AGAINST BELL.
Opening of the Onvernment Suit to Set the
Telephone Patent Aside.
Jonea, Georgia; Chan. P. Limbret. Chicago
Cincinnati, September 22.—It was 10
o’clock this forenoon when ex-Senator
Allen G. Thurman, leading counsel of the
f overnment in the case against the Bell
'elephone Company, walked into the
United States court room. He held in his
hand the proverbial red bandanna, and
after nodding to those in the room mopped
his brow with it in an energetic fashion.
Judge Thurman was the last to appear and
the court was now ready to proceed with
business.
Ex-Senator Joe McDonald had been with
Senator Thurman twenty minutes. Tho
great Indianian, with a fringe of white
hair around the southern hemisphere of
his head, and wit” gold-rimmed specta
cles perched under his heavy projecting
grey eyebrows, came in and took a seat at
the counsel table. Mr. J. J. Storrow, sen
ior counsel of the telephone company, a
gentleman with a bald head and iron-gray
side whiskers, also sat at tho counsel table,
and chatted nervously with his associate
in the case, Judjfe R. A. Harrison, of Co
lumbus. Ex-Solicitor-General John Goode,
C. 9. Whitman and Jefferson Chandler, of
Washington, and Grosvenor B. Lowry,.of
New York city, all of counsel for the gov
ernment, came in together and took their
respective seats at counsel’s table.
A brown-bearded, brown headed man,
tall, spectacled and deeply interested in
the whole scene, was Charlos B. Bowditch,
of Boston, vice-president of the Bell Tele
phone Companv. Circuit Judge Jackson
and District Judges Sage and Welker
looked down benignly, while United
States Districts Attorney Phil Kumler piled
up a lot of law books and seemed to be
very busy in the ease. The congressmen
from the Cincinnati districts, Ben Butter-
worth and Gen. Brown, aud many promi
nent lawyers in Cincinnati were present
when Judge Thurman in clear ringing
tones opened for the government.
The only ones who took part to-day in
the preliminary motions were Messrs.
Thurman, Harrison and Storrow. Tho
Bell Company had filed a plea against
jurisdiction and also amotion to quash the
marshal’s return. The government moved
to strike the motion from the files. The
court ruled that it would hear the question
of the sufficiency in law of the return un
der the motion, and it would hear tho
question of the truth of the return under
Hie plea, one argument to coverthrwhole;
and that it would frame its ruling so
that neither party should be prejudiced
by any mistake in the question of form.
Mr. Storrow began the urgument against
the jurisdiction ot the court. He took the
ground that the service was imperfect,
and made a statement of the manner of
conducting the business of'the company
with a view to showing that it had no
agents or employes in Ohio who could be
brought into court in such manner as to
give the court jurisdiction here. His argu
ment was not ended when court adjourn

MARTIN IRONS’ ARREST.
Chief lluebler TcletrrapliH Kansas City to Have
Him DotainciL
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Martin Irons, who gained wide notoriety
owing to tho position he occupied in the
ord“r of the Knights of Labor during the
great strike on the Gould system, was ar
rested at Kansas City last night, on a tele
gram fom Chief of Police Huebler, of this
city, and will likely return to the scene of
his sovereign sway this morning to answer
to the indictment found against him by
the grand jury at its late session, in com
pany with Jackson and Coughlan, for tap
ping tho telegraph wires running from the
Gould building on Sixth and Locust
streets to the residence of vice-
president Hoxie, of the Mis
souri Pacific. It has been reported
several times that Martin Irons’ bonds
man, Frank Mahone, had withdrawn from
his security for the appearance of the al
leged wire-tapper, and the report has
been as often denied, but R now J® 601 ®
that it was wall founded, and it is believed
that Mr. Mahone quietly notified the au
thorities that he did not care to longer
stand responsible for the appearance of
Ironsj and that upon this announcement
Chiet of*Police Huebler telegraphed tho
authorities at Kansas City to arrest Irons,
which they were unable to do uutil last
night, owing to his keeping away from his
former haunts in that city. It is known
that Irons has been in Uosednle for some
time past, and he was very conspicuous dur
ing tne examination of parties arrested on
the charge of being implicated in the train
wrecking near Kansas City, which resulted
fatally, and upon which such a neat piece
of detective work was done, tho Globe-
Democrat giving an exclusive account of
Hie arrests the morning after they were
made. Since that time Irons has been con
spicuous by his absence at Kansas City,and
while ho was known to be somewhere in
tho suburbs his exact location oould|>ot be
learned, and it presumed that the olttcors
patiently awaited ids first trip to the city,
and upon making his appearance he was
promptly arrested. The docket of the
criminal court calls for the wire-tapping
case this morning, and if Irons reaches the
city on the early train he will likely he
given an early hearing. There will he
much interest in the return of the head of
the great strike, who ruled so many unfor
tunate men with iron sway.
CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW HOME.
Nothin* hut Gloomy KerolloctiniiK of French
After-Dinner Speak In*.
New York World.
Mr. Chauncey M. Dcpew looks well after
his return from Europe us told in yester
day’s World. He has gathered a good
crop of stories for this W inter’s campaign
ana feels happy. “I sloppou in London
three weeks on arriving in England,” he
said to a World reporter, “and enjoyed
myself exceedingly. The people are hos
pitable, very hospitable to Americans.
But they cannot make any headway with
an American Joke. A friend of mine with
whom I dined in Londou had just returned
from a visit in Devonshire, lie said that
an Englishman whom he met there told
him he hadn’t enjoyed himself so much
before In twenty years. ‘The prospect
here is magnificent,’ explained tne Eng
lishman, ‘the shooting is excellent, and
Inst night the point of a joke which an
American told me twenty years ago just
flashed over me. I didn’t know what he
was talking about when he told it, but
when I saw through it last night it was so
comical that I lay awake and laughed all
night.’
‘‘I met Minister Phelps in London, and
soon made up my mind that he was an
entire success as our representative there.
The secret of his success, I think, is the
fact that he* never forgets that he is an
American. I also met Robert Browning
several times in London, and was informed
by him that there was one place in Amer
ica which appreciated his works. I sup
posed he referred to cultured Boston, but
ne rudely shocked me by naming Chicago
as the appreciative citv. Though Brown
ing’s poetry is decidedlv abstruse he struck
me as being a most delightful conversa-
tionalist.
‘‘I attended a few dinners in Paris and
thus learned that French after-dinner
speakers always read their speeches^
Naturally, nobody listens, and tne most
vociferous applause comes when the speak
er sits down.
“An odd feature of continental journal
ism, or so it seems to me, is the manner in
which American news is treated. The
political and serious occurrences in this
country are never noticed at all. The only
American item I saw was a very full ac
count of how President Cleveland caught
a trout in the Adirondacks and how
Mrs. Cleveland stood on the hotel
veranda and smiled when he brought
it up. The fight on the floor of the house
of representatives between Congressmen
Laird and Cobb was very fully treated in
the Russian papers, so a friend of mine
from St. Petersburg told me. He said that
was the only American item printed in the
9t. Petersburg papers for three months. I
noticed the European papers all gave that
affair in detail, generally adding something
like this: ‘This affair clearly shows tho
tread of republican institutions.’
“As regards politics the French are still
a good deal excited over the expulsion of
the princes and tne English are intensely
worked up over the home rule question.
In fact, I never saw or knew of any such
political excitement in this country, except
during the civil war, as there now is in
England over tho question of home rule.
Scotland and Wales are solidly in favor of
it. The masses of the English have no
stand in the matter on its intrinsic merits,
but only consider it in a strict party light,
either for or against.”
Popular Superstition*.
Dream of eggs, sign of money.
Dream of snakos, sign of enemies.
If you sing before breakfast you’ll cry
before supper.
Dreaming of muddy or rushing water
brings trouble.
Finding a horse shoe or a four-leaved
clover brings good luck.
If you cut your nails or sneeze on Satur
day, you do it “for evil.”
She who takes the last stitch at a quilt
ing will be the first to Liarry.
If you cannot make up a handsome lied
your husband will have a homely nose.
If you spill the salt some one will be
“mad” with you unless you put some in
the fire.
Stub yaur right toe, you are going where
you are wanted; your left, where you are
not wanted.
If tho rooster crows on the fence, the
weather will be fair; if on the doorstep,
he will bring company.
If the first Sunday in the month is un
pleasant, there will be but one pleasant
Sunday during the month.
If by any chance a mourning hat or bon
net is placed upon your head you will
need one of your own soon.
If your right ear burns some one is prais
ing you; if your left, your friends are rak
ing you over the coals.
Returning to the house for a moment
after having once started out will bring
bad luck unless you sit down.
When, in dropping a fork it strikes the
floor and stands upright, it will bring a
gentleman visitor; if a knife, a lady.
While at the washboard if the suds splash
and wetllthe clothes you are wearing you
will have a drunken husband.
If you drop your dish cloth you will have
company; also if you sweep a black mark,
or if two chairs stand accidentally back to
back.
If a baby sees his face in the glass it will
be the death of him. If his nails are cut he
will be a thief. If he tumbles out of bed
it will save his being a fool.
Break a mirror, sign of death. Death is
also foretold by a aog howling under a
window; hearing a mourning dove, a
strange dove hovering about, or dreaming
of a white horse.
If you see the new moon through the
f lass you will have sorrow while it lasts,
f you see it fair in the face, you’ll have a
fall. Over the left shoulder, bad luck:
over the right, good luck.—Cleveland

Security in Envelopes.
Letters or envelopes which it is desired to
protect against unauthorized opening <by
moistening the pasted portion) may be
securely sealed by using a solution of oxide
of copper in ammonia as paste. This liquid
has tne faculty of dissolving the cellulose.
When applied to the paper it dissolves the
cellulose on the surface, and on drying the
two partially dissolved surfaces adhere in
dissolubly together. The same thing may
be accomplished by using water glass (sili
cate of soda or potassa.) In this case the
chemical action is different, but when it is
completed the pasted surfaces cohere as
permanently as In the preceding case.
