The Election In the Fourth.
The managers of the congressional election
tor Muscogee county met in this city yesterday
and consolidated the vote. The total vote oast
‘was669, of which Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, the
democratic nominee, received 645 and J. Y. Car
michael. the independent, 14.
A special to the Enquibkp-Sun from Newnan
■ays that Coweta county gave Grimes 333 and
Carmichael 272. Of course Grimes is elected by
an overwhelming minority.
Another Itailroad Purchase.
There is a lino of twcpiy miles of railroad
faded from Birmingham to the Henryellen coal
mines, owned by Mr. H. F. Do Bardeleben. It
has never been ironed but wo are told it is now
mady for the ties and track. A letter from there
yesterday iu which the writer, who is in a posi
tion to be frilly informed of such a transaction,
states that the Georgia Central has bought the
road bed and will iron and equip it in lime for
the next season’s business. This will put Colum
bus nearer to the coal fields than any other city
except Montgomery, and doubtless our people
cun get equally as good rates.
.4 II tippy I’d inn of Hearts.
At the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Rob-'
ert Bizc, in this city, last night, Mr. Bartow F.
Wilson and Miss Lula Bize were united in mar
riage. The ceremony was performed nt 9 o’clock
by ltev. R. H. Harris, pastor of the First Baptist
church. There were no attendants, and only a
few intimate friends were present. The display
of bridal presents embraced numerous handsome
and valuable articles.
The groom is a popular salesman in G. E.
Thomas’ clothing store, and is one of the most
genial, talented and upright young gentlemen in
the city. Ho has been exceedingly fortunate in
securing for a bride one of the most highly fa
vored of all of Columbus’ thir daughters, who by
her many accomplishments and personal charms
has made herself a general favorite.
The Enquirer-Son joins the host of friends of
the happy couple iu the wi«h that their friture

Robert Dowsing.
Robert Downing will appear at Springer Opera
House next Monday night in “The Gladiator.”
The New York Dramatic, in speaking of him,
has the following to say:
“This handsome tragedian’s portrait appears
on our title-page, in connection with Edwin For
rest and John McCullough. Mr. Downing stars
oext season in “The Gladiator,” under the man
agement of Mr. Jos. H. Mack, who has pur
chased the exclusive rights of that play
from the McCullough estate, and will
produce it with spectacular effects, historically
accurate, both in scenery and costumes. The
supporting company will be exceptionally strong,
composed chiefly of members from the late John
McCullough company who have distinguished
themselves in this play. Robert Downing has
rare ability, a magnificent physique and per
sonal appearance, a voles of melody and power,
and an unusual amount of personal magnetism.
He has received deservedly high praise fromwtaw
press and public of America while leading sup-*
Alderman yprtis (moved to »reconsider the ac
tion taken at tjie last meeting of the council, au
thorizing the appointment of four additional po
licemen, and moved that only two be appointed.
Alderman McArdle moved to amend the mo
tion by instructing the police committee to dis
mount the two mounted officers and add them
to the regular force.
Alderman Curtis accepted the amendment and
the motion was adopted.
This will necessitate a revision of the “beats,”
and will add only two new policemen to the
force.
An election for city engineer was entered into,
and Captain B. H. Hudron was unanimously
elected.
Alderman Dozier complained that the keeper
of the magaz tie was violating a city ordinance
by allowing a certain firm in the city a rebate on
the rate of storage for blasting powder. He said
the ordinance provided that one cent a pound
should be collected on "powder stored in the
magazine, and he did not beli* ve the keeper had
a right to make a reduction. He knew his honor,
the mayor, hod given the opinion that the keep
er had the right to make a rebate, as the storage
fee wus a part of the keeper's salary, but he did
not think so.
Mayor Grimes stated that he had given such an
opinion and he believed it was right. The keep
er had a right to give away his perquisites if be
desired to do so. The keeper had said that he
was willing to make the same arrangements
with all other dealers in powder.
After a lengthy discussion, in which nearly
every member of eouncil engaged, the matter
was referred to the city attorney for his opinion
aa to whether the magazine keeper has a right,
under the Ohlitiarice, to give a rebate.
There being no other business, council then
adjourned. 1

DOTS FROM DELTA'.
A Collation of Interesting News Items and Per
sonal Paragraphs.
Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Delta, Macon County, Ga., November 2.—
“Three frosts and then a rain.” This old adage,
handed down from generation to generation, has
at last proved false. When the three frosts came
the weather prophets predicted rain without fail;
but alas! their predictions, like those of more
distinction, are registered upon the pages of the
past as being unworthy the notice of friture gen
erations. It will be but just, howf ver,to overlook
their short comings in this instance, for we all
know “that all signs fail in dry weatfrer.”
The state fair has drawn its share of patronage
from tills section. Quite a number have attended
and express themselves as highly pleased with
the exhibition. Some were so well pleased that
they will return this week. The country com
plains of hard times and the scarcity of money,
but when the gates of a state fair are opened the
last dollar and half-dollar pieces naturally wend
their way to the ticket seller’s vaults. Nothing
but a circus hath more charms for the average
countryman as well as the more genteel city gen
tleman. ' *
Last Sabbath quite a large congregation assem
bled at the academy to hear a sermon from Rev.
J. A. J. Kimball, but from some unknown cause
the preacher failed to attend. His non-atten
dance caused no little disappointment.
The barge built by Mr. James Saunders for Mr.
William Minor, of Montezuma, is anchored in
the Flint river several miles below here. Mr.
Saunders made an effort to take it down the
river to Montezuma, but owing to the very low
stage of the river he soon learned that it would
be impossible to take it through. On the first
slight rise Mr. S. thinks ha will anchor in her
destined port.
Last week a party of gentlemen consisting of
steamboat men aud the editor of the Montezuma
R cord made a survey of the upper Flint from
the Old Ageacv, in Crawford county, to Mon-,
tezuina. They report the upper as good, if not
better, than the river below for navigation.
Editor Christopher appears somewhat enthused
over the prospect of navigating the upper river.
Would that we had many such men of energy
and perseverance. To his persistent efforts is
due in a greet measure the success of the boats'
now i mining below. He meets no barrier that
his indomitable will does not surmount. May
his ardor aud zeal never diminish until
the hoarse whittle of the steamboat is
beard in this section, arousing giul infusing new
life into every farmer adjacent the river.
Sunday night about 8 o’clock, a negro house at
the residence of Mrs; E. J Dniughan, on the
Wilbur plantation, was burned down, and a little
negro child about 6 years old was burned to
death. The parents of the child—as is the usual
custom -left the litile ones fardened up in the
house and went elf to preaching. When found
the two oldest had escaped from the burning,
but the cries of the little oue within could be
heard calling for mama. When the body was re
covered it had burned to a crisp the head, arms
and feet having been severed from the body.
Mr. J. A. J. Ross has been in the neighbor
