On Saturday night last, at 9:30 o’clock, there
were more tired hands and bright faces in the
Enquirer-Sun building than it had seen in
many a day. There was enough to make the
hands tired and the faces bright. For forty days
every man in the business office, composing
room and editorial room had been doing double
duty—doing his regular work and working on
j the mammoth and coming edition. At 9:30
I o’clock Van Cook started the great press. Itre-
j volved at his bidding, and the paper had gone
j to press. When it wa** actually realized that
this was an assured fact the entire
force in spite of their aching limbs and drooping
eye-lids began to behave like kittens and colts.
Men whose dignity hadn’t been unbent since the
I earthquake seemed to suddenly catch the spirit
of the poet who sang:
“I kin dance, I kin sing.
I kin cut the pigeon wing,
Or do every yuthcr funny littly thing.”

and the two boys were arrested. They gladly
accepted Fuller’s proposition to drop the ease
upon tho boys paying the damages.

Yesterday Joe Moore, colored, was creating j
quite a disturbance in the northern part of tho .
city. When the police went to arrest him he ;
ran across the line dividing the city and the \
Northern Liberties and defied them to touch j
him. The officers failed to see the line and j
stepped over it, and Joe was soon iu the guard- j
house. Later the mayor fined him $10, and if :
Joe is not a better he is at least a wiser man. I
Policemen are ex-officio bailiffs and can arrest a !
man anywhere in the country for an offense
committed in the city. Joe and his kind would
do well to remember this.

The Smith left Sunday afternoon at 2:30
o’clock.
very little thinking produced no end of
performing. For he sent an order to Proprietor
Sherf of the Rankin House to spread a banquet
with forty-five covers, and have it ready at 10
o’clock. Mr. Sherf very modestly
vowed that he couldn’t get up a banquet in three
hours that would he worth a cent, but he said he
would try, and that made everybody feel easy.
At ten o'clock the entire force marched to the
Rankin House in a body. Besides the regular
corps of the paper, there were two or three gentle
men invited, among them being Hon, John Pea
body, president of the Enquirer-Sun Pub. Co.,
and Mr. Hurry Abbott, of the W. TT. Tel. office.
The spacious dining room of the Rankin House
presented a magnificent and striking appearance.
It was gorgeous with tapestry, curtains und elec
tric lights. To one side sat Proprietor Sherf, like a
general surveying the small army of elegantly
attired waiters who stood behind the chairs. The
crowd wus seated and the banquet was enjoyed,
but it can not be described. It looked like the
wedding table of an heiresR. Costly china and
solid silverwsre were ns plentiful ns if they had
been common crockery. And every viand and
delicacy and epicurean favorite, known only to
those who fare sumptuously every day,
was present in lavish abundance.
Course after course came in succession
until the'guests could taste no more. The mag
nificent punch howl, which looker! ns if its price
might have been up in the hundreds, was only
surpassed by the punch it contained.
After supper the now merry banqueters culled
“Peabody! Peabody! Peabody!” and the call was
emphasized with cheers. Hon. John Peabody,
who sat at tho head of the table, rose and ad
dressed the assembled company. Mr. Peabody’s
reputation in the state of Georgia as a lawyer
lenders it unnecessary to say that he |
was more than equal to the occasion.
While he was the focus of every eye, and every
thing was hushed but his own voice, lie main
tained that ease and equilibrium possessed only
by men who have had a long experience in deal
ing with audiences. Mr. Peabody’s speech was
practical, succinct and bristling with points,
though at times it was punctuated with humor
ous hits and allusions that were liberally paid
for by the company wsth laughter and cheers.
Although looking fresher than most men of forty-
five, Mr. Peabody declared that being a married
man, and having the advantage of the two gen
tlemen who sat near him, he did not hesitate to
say that he remembered the Columbus of fifty
years ago. He then gave a graphic
description of the men and business
and newspapers of those primitive days. He said
that the old Muscogee Democrat was swallowed
by the Times and the Times was swallowed by
the Hun, and that the Enquirer had swallowed
them all. (Cheers.! He said that familiar as he
was with the business of the Enquirer-Sun, he
was antonished at the large number of men it
employed—aggregating half ft hundred. Jn the
early days of Columbus to have predicted such a
paper in the city would have been the occasion
of a laugh of incredulity. Mr. Peabody
then spoke for some time in a
beautiful strain about the relations between
capital and labor, employer and employe, and
his remarks were received with the heartiest ap
plause by the printers and the rest of the com
pany. Mr. Peabody spoke for twenty minutes,
and when he sat down it was patent that his
speech, in the opinion of his auditors, luul but
one drawback—its lack of length.
The company then called for Mr. Ho wren, as
sociate editor of this paper. Mr. Ho wren made
a most enter .aiiiing talk, which was greatly en
joyed.
Mr. Eugene Gvanberry, the chief editor, was
then called on, and he made a brief but pointed
speech, which was listened to with great inter
est and received with much approbation by
everybody, and especially by the employes of the
paper.
Mr. W. O. Johnson, the city editor, was next
called for. Mr. Johnson said he believed that a
motion to adjourn would create more enthusiasm
than anything ho could say. But that he
could not find a better time or op
portunity to counsel Mr. Llowren to go
on the road as an evangelist, and that if
Mr. Howren desired an assistant he himself
would engage to go along and attend to the col
lections. Mr. Johnson spoke briefly, but his
speech created considerable merriment.
Foreman W. C. Turner was next called on. lie
said he felt it incumbent on himself to make the
motion tondjouvn which Mr. Johnson had prom
ised to make, and at the conclusion of Mr. Tur
ner's remarks the banqueters retired, aller
spending one of the happiest evenings of their
lives.

Died ft
A correspondent,
date of Saturday, says:
“Mr. James McElmurry, who was struck by
Henry Johnson, colored, Thursday afternoon,
died this morning between the hours of I and 5.
He has been rational at no time since he was
struck. The doctors made an examination yes
terday morning and took from his head a quan
tity of clotted blood. Notwithstanding the fact
that the skull was badly fractured, he was pro
nounced in a better condition, and until late
yesterday afternoon rested quietly. In the even
ing, however, he made a sudden change and
gradually grew worse until this morning, when
he died. Mr. McElmurry was a large planter
and uiercliaut, and was considered one of
the most substantial men in Taylor county. He
was always very kind to his employes and uuant
no act of violence when he attacked the negro.
He was provoked, and did it more to frighten
him than anything else. Some think the negro
planued the affair beforehand and provoked
Mr. McEliuurray to do what he did in order to
kill him. As soon as the act was committed
and the negro realized what he had done, he
seemed to be very much affected. He took Mr.
McEliuurray in his arms and carried him to his
bed and bathed his head with camphor, re
marking to Mrs. Thompson, who had arrived
about that time: ‘Mrs. Thompson, I wouldn’t
have done it for the world.’ As yet there has
been no arrest. The negro is dodging McElmur-
ray’a friends.”

The Fire Yesterday.
An alarm of fire was turned in from box No. 17
yesterday afternoon at 1:15 o’clock. The fire was
in a lot of cotton on the platform at the South
western railroad yard. It is supposed to have
caught from a spark from a passing engine.
About twenty bales were slightly damaged. The
fire department turned out, but the fire was ex
tinguished by the employes at the railroad
shops. There was a car load of blasting powder
on a side track near the platform which made
some of those who knew it was there feel a little
uneasy for awhile, but there was very little dan
ger of it exploding.
