DAILY ENQUIRER • SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1888. TALK (’BOX TALHOTTOX. A Columbu.lte Tnklnit In thp I'olumbux n*ptlnt Anoplntlon. 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.

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 ed. m m 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 Plaindealer. 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. MARK ETfl 1IY TELKORAIMI. Financial. NKW VOHK MONEY MARKET.
