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.” Dimming School. My Dancing School is open on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon in City Light Guards’ armory at 3:30 o’clock.

The entertain ment was a most enjoyable one, ils only un pleasant feature being the parting. While the many friends of Miss Newman regret to see her leave Columbus, their best wishes will go with her to Savannah. A Bell to Ills Tall. Two boys tied a bell to the tail of a mule be longing to a countryman named Fuller yester day. The mule was standing near Green’s corner, but when the bell began to ring he prick ed up his ears and runaway, badly damaging the wagon. Fuller reported the ease to the police and the two boys were arrested. They gladly accepted Fuller’s proposition to drop the ease upon tho boys paying the damages. It u In Hon on Rose llill. There were two burglaries committed ou Rose Hill Sunday night. They were both doubtless committed by the same man, Mr. E. W. .Joines’ residence was entered and several dollars st len. among which were 180 nickels. Mrs. Joines heard a noise, and awoke in time to see a burly negrojump from the window. The house of Coleman Davis, colored, was also burglarized of several dollars, and this instance also the bur glar was seen us be was leaving, but was not identified. Ae«*l<l«*ntally Shot. On Sunday a negro named Gus Martin applied ! to Dr. Seth N Jordan to extract « bullet from ' his shoulder. Dr. Jordan probed for the ball, j but was unable to locate it. The negro was in j Rothchild's store, at the foot of Rose Hill,Mate Saturday. J.T. West, a clerk in the store, was j showing a pistol to some one and it was acci dentally discharged, tho bullet hiking effect in , the back of Martin’s shoulder and ranging down- 1 ward. Martin's wound, while very painful, is j not considered dangerous. lie Thought lie Was Sate. 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. River News.

She brought 124 bales of cotton, consigned os fol lows : Flournoy & Epping. 78; Slade & Ether- edge, 1; Blauchard, Burrus & Co., 20; Hatche & Wilkerson, 25. The Aid left for down the river yesterday. 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. a Ills Injuries, riling from Butler under 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.” Sick in .Huron. Mr. B. F. Gifford went over to Macon Sunday in response to a telegram calling him to see his son, Mr. George T.

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.
