Atlanta, September 30.— Comptroller
Wright to-day received a telegram from
President Mitchell, of the Augusta Ui)>
son and Sundersville railroad, announcing
that the arbitrators had fixed the vnlua
tion of the road bed at $126,100. It will be
remembered that President Mitchell re
turned the road at $93,800 and the cornu
trailer assessed it at $175,000, and the arbi
trators were appointed with this result
The Georgia railroad to-day paid taxes on
property in the state amounting to Mug -
725; on income of $230,658; on the Gaines
ville, Jefferson and southern railroad $518.
The Insurnnee Conqmnle*.
Atlanta, September 30,-About ninety
days ago Comptroller Wright issued ah
order, based upon anjopinion of Attorney-
General Anderson, requiring the insurance
companies to make returns upon their
gross receipts, including therein cancelled
policies which they had omitted hereto
fore from their returns. A number of the
companies responded promptly, paving
this as a supplemental tax, their returns
for the year having been already made.
Several of the companies, however, have
paid no attention to the order, and the
comptroller has served notice upon them
that their licenses to do business in Geor
gia would be revoked unless their state
ments were in by October 1, as his books
■closed on that day. He has been receiving
telegrams by the wholesale to-day, and
the delinquents are coming in by wire.
Charley Ruse Ewiqira.
Atlanta, September 30.—Principal
keeper of the penitentiary, Col. Towers
received a letter to-day from the superin
tendent of convicts at the Dade coal mines
announcing the escape of Charley Rose,
who was convicted of burglarizing two
stores, and who was also suspected of run
ning off a pay car a few weeks before tho
crime of which he was convicted. His
wife was murdered most mysteriously, and
toy many it was believed he was not
ignorant of the affair, but he was never
successfully connected with it by any com-
S etent testimony. The guard reports that
e escaped through a ventilating shaft five
feet square and 100 feet deep, a marvel
ous feat. The guard says pursuit is being
made with the hope of re-capturing him.
Fatal Fall from a Bridge.
Atlanta, September 30. — Yesterday
•while Mrs. Gus. Wheat, a lady 60 years
old, and her nephew were driving two
mules across a bridge over the Chattahoo
chee river, ten miles from Atlanta. The
mules became frightened and backed off
of the bridge. The boy sprang out, but
the team fell into the river twenty feet be
low, killing the old lady and one of the
mules.
Short Stops.
Atlanta, September 30.—W. G. Smith,
grocer, was acquitted of violating the pro
hibition law before the recorder to-day.
Will Smith, a car coupler, was painfully
mashed between two freight cars of the
Air Line railroad last night. The injuries
are not dangerous.
Mr. Ben Standford was seriously hurt
last night, being kicked over the temple

THE NEW YORK MAYORALTY.
Wind Coiigrohsmun Merrliimii Sups About the
Situation.
WASHtNOTON, September 30.—Congress
man Merrimun, of New York, is here nnd
has been giving his views upon the politi
cal situation in New York city. He savs
the nomination of Henry George bv tiio
labor party lias thrown a powerful ele
ment of uncertainty in the mayoralty con
test. It Mr. George gets any votes 'at all
no will got a great many—possibly as
many as 50,000 -and most of them will
come from the democrats, lie thinks all
the democratic factions will have to unite
upon a good candidate. Grace, he says,
,, stron gest man in New York in'di-
videally, but Tammany would never unite
with the county democracy to elect him.
there is a chance, he thinks, of their
uniting on either Cooper or Loew. It is
■'dccrlain, he says, how the laboring men
will treat Mr. George. If, us a body, they
vote for him he would be elected,
.. ut . IS. unlikely that they will do
that. The trade unions, he thinks, would
have acted with greater wisdom if they
had sent Mr. George to congress and had
fought for the legislature. If they had
done this, nnd could have elected fifteen
or sixteen members of the legislature,
they would have control and would hav,
got in a position to dictate what they
wanted. He thinks there will be no change
in the New York delegation in congress.
He does not think that Gov. Hill is as
strong outside of the party as Cleveland;
in the party he is a power, and the most
popular man with the politicians, while
Cleveland has a hold on the people. But
at conventions, he adds, the politicians
generally get away with tho people. How
ever, Gov. Hill has not yet shown a dispo
sition to enter the field against Mr. Cleve
land. Mr. Merriman is also of the opinion
that neither Blaine, Sherman nor Logan
can secure the republican nomination in
1888. He thinks it will be Senator Allison,
of Iowa.
The republican campaign committee,
from all accounts, is dreadfully hard up for
ftinds, and in this off year it is like drawing
teeth for them to get the sinews of war. In
old timeB it was so easy for them to send
around beastly looking, black republican
collectors among the clubs and scrub
women for the assessments levied, that it
goes hard with the managers of the grand
old party to rake together money in a
legitimate way. The leaders have always
depended upon free-will offerings from the
faithful, and nothing but democratic suc
cess at the polls in 1884 would have put a
stop to the outrageous plan of demanding
money of the government employes. Thai
disreputable practice has been abolished
most thoroughly, and the money that has
been given the democratic campaign com
mittee has come without solicitation.

Metropolis, 111., September 30.—A ter
rible tragedy was enacted this morning by
which J. Frank Burden, a prominent
young man, a member of the firm of Bur
den & Davidson, lost his life. For some
years past Burden has been connected, a
f ood portion of the time in a social and
usiness way with Caleb N. Jones, of this
city, boarding a part of the time in his
family and acting for him in the capacity
of book keeper and salesman. During this
time rumors of an improper intimacy be
tween Burden and Mrs. Jones nave
been more or less prevalent and
the fact has been a matter
of discussion between the parties to

Senator Sherman's Opening Campaign Speech.
Portsmouth , Ohio, September 28.—Hon.
John Sherman, who made the opening
speech of the Ohio campaign here to-night,
arrived this afternoon and was taken in
charge by a committee of the Morton club,
under whose auspices the meeting at night
was held. Mr. Sherman, on being intro
duced, briefly traced the history of the
two great parties from 1854, characterizing
the republican party as the party of re
form and progress and the democratic
party as a party of opposition. Coming
down to the administration of President
Cleveland, whose election he said had been
brought about, not by the dissent of the
masses, but by a coalition between the
states lately in rebellion and the city of
New York, the senator paid attention
to its foreign policy. The senator said
the gentle dalliance with Great Brittian
over the fishery question was in strong
contrast to the blustering demand made
upon Mexico for the possession of a char
acterless American adventurer, who in
Mexico violated the laws of Mexico and
seems to have been too mildly treated for
his offences by the Mexican authorities.
The chief charge against the republicans
in the presidential canvas, he said, was in
the hoarding of idle money in the treas- ^
ury, but when the democrats came into i W0Illan
power they repudiated their promise to
distribute the money and increase ,
the reserve in the treasury *Y
millions of dollars. They suspended
for nearly a year the payment of the
public debt. Distrust and want of conn- | *nm
dence followed the election of Cleveland,
and instead of the higher prices and thriv
ing industries promised prices have been
steadily falling and industries once
flourishing are now languishing, ihe i ^hiTs may have’beehcaused by tne wctumi,
senator said the people were promised f ,, a Jewish holiday. A anderbilts

the opposite side of the street, on his way
to market, Jones walked out with a double-
barreled 'shotgun in his hand and, not
withstanding the importunities of friends,
he leveled it and shot Burden in the right
temple, felling him to the ground
then walked five or six steps further for
ward and ‘emptied the second barrel into
the prostrate form of his victim, after
which he deliberately walked back into
the store. Burden was carried home and
medical aid summoned, but he died within
two hours after being shot.
Shortly after the killing Jones was ar
rested by Sheriff Karr and went home with
him, where he ate a hearty breakfast.
After breakfast he patted his foot and said:
"Thou shnlt do no murder.” He then
went out with the sheriff, expressing him
self as feeling light, like he could run a
mile, and said that a groat load was off his
mind Three times within tho last six
months the sheriff has taken ugly looking
pistols away from Jones, and this morning
he was induced to give up a pistol, which
he had in addition to the shotgun with
which his victim was killed. Charges and
counter charges of infidelity were made by
Jones and his wife, the woman alleging
cruel and abusive treatment on the part of
her late husband. Both parties are we 11
connected, and a strange part of the story
is that the woman s relations take her ex-
hnsband’s part in the controversy, while
h“s relations defend the unfortunate

Campbell was subject to the delusions of
the most common kind. “ His fancies,"
continued tho doctor, “vary greatly. This T)

ami that Le had visited heaven and saw

The doctor concluded by saying that Mr.

client had a leasehold interest in the Four

mortgaged for $30,500, and unpaid taxes

NYE’S RECORD.
A Notorious mill Bnngrrons t'rliiihml lit is tt
Horst* Thlof, Forger, and Is Wanted in Several
Slates.
Cincinnati, September 30.—Fred W.
Nye, the convict from whom Governor
Fornker got his Btory about the cane made
of human skin, is one of the worst crimi
nals unhung. He has been guilty of every
crime except murder. He was au active
member of the old Tullis gang of forgers
and thieves, and was a partner of the no
torious Small in his fraudulent land trans
actions. Nye and his brother-in-law,
Royston, were sent up from this
county in 1881 for stealing two horses
and two buggies from Mr. John
Kauffman, the brewer. Nye got fifteen
years and Royston ten. The scoundrel
upon whom Governor Foraker depends to
sustain the terrible story jumped his ball
several times, and it was known that he
was one of a band of horse thieves oper
ating in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. Mr.
Emil 8chmitt, vice-president of the John
Kaufl'man Brewing Company, when seen
by an Enquirer reporter yesterday, gave
tne details of Nye’s record. He gave the
reporter a copy of a letter which he
mailed to Governor Foraker last Sunday.
It was as follows:
Cincinnati, September 26,1888.—To His
Excellency Governor|Foraker—De$r Sir ;
I have received reliable information that
an attempt will be made to have one Fred
W. Nye, now serving a term in the Ohio
state prison, pardoned. I wish to call your
attention to the above named convict os
a dangerous man to let loose on the com
munity, as he is a known criminal who
has served a term in the Michigan City
penitentiary for the same offense that he
is now serving at Columbus. He is also
under conviction in the United States
court, southern district of Ohio, for mis
using the mails, but he made good his
escape before being sentenced. He is
also under indictment in this county for
selling real estate without a title.
He has similar charges against him in Cov
ington. Kv., and Indianapolis, Ind. He
and his brother-in-law, Frank Royston,
also a convict in the state prison, were
convicted for stealing two horses and bug
gies from our concern, which we never re
covered. The writer captured both these
men personally, and spent a great deal of
time and money in clearing up their past
record. 1 sincerely hope that they will
both be compelled to serve the full sen
tence they so justly received, and that your
excellency will not pay any attention to
the petitions for pardon which may reach
you in their behalf. Yours very respect
fully, Emil Schmitt,
Vice-President John Kauffman Brewing
Company.
Mr. Schmitt expressed his willingness to
swear any time before the propor tribunal
that he would not believe Nye on oath.
He took a very active part in the arrest
and conviction of Nye and Royston, and
he pronounces them the most desperate
and hardened criminals ho ever saw. Ho
declares that he is willing to spend $1000
to keep them in the penitentiary for life.
He has enough charges in Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana to give Nye 100 years in
prison. The hypocritical liar and scoun
drel has robbed many people through
forged deeds and land titles, and it was a
matter of surprise that he stayed out of
the penitentiary as long os he did.

Mrs. R. E. bullhorn, now of this
city, lived with her family in peace and
plenty—the parents nnd live children.
That year, however, the western fever,
that has broken up so many homes, at
tacked the father and lie started west,
leaving his family well provided for until
he should return with the riches that tho
wild west always promises.
For a year frequent letters passed back
and forth, and all went well until the ter
rible news reached the Illinois family that
the husband and father, John E. Wilson,
with his entire party, had been massacred
by Indians. All communication with this
part ofthe country was then cut off by the
savages. Thus it was that years passed by
with no further news. Then the bereaved
family removed from the old home at
Udell, and, as is the case all over the world
with busy people, letter writing was not
frequent and communication with old
friends and even relatives was by degrees
broken off.
The past summer, however, Mrs. San
born felt compelled by some strange intui
tion to write back to an uncle in Pontine,
Illinois. From him she learned that her
father, so
LONG MOURNED AH DEAD,
had been alive up to 1880, in New Mexico,
but had then died leaving a large prop
erty, called the Homostake Mine, at
White Oaks. E. E. Sheer, of tills city, was
able to give some more information con
cerning the owner of tho Hamestakn,
and a very convincing description. John
Wilson, son of the lost man, started im
mediately from Durango to White Oaks to
look into the matter and, if possible, to get
possession of his lather's body.
On the stage, at Corinth. Mr. Wilson
learned that it was notJonn E. Wilson,
of the Homestaka, but his partner, John
Winters, who had died.
Tho excitement with wliioli lie then
pursued his journey can better be imagined
than described.
At White Oaks the son approached the
father in a general business way until
thoroughly convinced of his identity.
“Have you a family?” he askod.
“Yes, but don’t know where they are.
This fall I mean to look them up.”
He gave all their names, and, as John
Wilson says, they tallied to a dot.
Next the son asked: “Anything familiar
about me?”
“No; can’t see anything.”
"WELL, I’M YOUR SON JOHN.”
“No, no,” the father replied, "it can’t
be.”
He didn’t seem able to realize it; thought
it all a joke. This mail! Why, he was in
short dresses twenty years ago.
“Come into the light,” he said, “and let
me see you with your hat off.”
For a full half hour they looked at each
other, exchanged letters and photographs,
and it is needless to add that each man’s
identity was thoroughly established, and
an affectionate reunion followed.
The old gentleman, still a hnlo man at
soventy-threo years, explained how letters
had failed him, and finally even of tho old
Illinois friends he could near nothing of

The Swift Specific Co.. Drawer 3, Al
ania, Ga. 157 W. 23d St., New York.
From iv itllnlKtor.
Rev. C. T. Clnrk, a member of the South
Georgia Methodist Conference, writes from
Tattnall county, Ga.; “One year ago I was
taken with rheumatism, and became al
most helpless for over three months. All
the remedies used seemed to fail until I
commenced the use of Swift’s Specific. I
have taken five bottles, and am perfectly
bound and well again. I would have writ
ten sooner, but waited to see if the cure
was permanent. And now I unhesitating
ly recommend 8. S. 8. as a safe and reliable
remedy for rheumatism. I have all confi
dence in its virtue.”
It Never Fulls.
I have had blood poison ever since Octo
ber, 1885, and obtained no relief from any
treatment, (and I tried several) until I com
menced taking Swift’s Specific. In one
month 1 felt tui well as I ever had. 1 also
had a good appetite, and was entirely free
from the pains in my shoulder and head,
which had tormented me so long. Now
nil the soros und swellings from my head
are gone. S. W. McCarter.

Five Septembers have passed since the
death of President Garfield. Of the Gar
field children this is said: “The two older
boys have just begun a course in the Co
lumbia College law school, and Marry, the ,
elder, has been teaching in some eastern | <j a «
school. Both are graduates of Williams ; N co'i
College. James It. Garfield has been
studying law with Judge Boynton, in
Cleveland, and is looked upon by friends
of his father as the son most like him in
every way. He hits his father’s size, com
plexion, eyes and manner. Both .sons are
now men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter, is
now a young woman, taller than her
mother, and has about finished her studies.
The two younger sons. Abram and Irwin,
are at school on the Hudson.”—Philadel
phia Press.
Malaria ! The very mention of it is a
nightmare! Whoever has suffered from
this blighting disease knows what a dread
scourge it is, and how it seems almost im
possible to eradicate it from the system.

destroy the germs of Malaria, and afford
permanent relief. Dose, one Bean: 26

Mrs. Black, of Chicago, appeals for the ] April and May
lives of the anarchists on the ground that
there will he a “reign of terror” if they are
hanged. M rs. Black is jjrobably an estima
ble lady, but she has no idea how quickly
the execution will pass off, and how
smoothly the world will keep on revolv
ing around the sun after it is over. The
terror that will reign will have only an
