Kte.
Atlanta, June 21.—The Atlanta glass
•works were totally destroyed by lire this
morning at 5 o’clock. Yesterday morning
the last preparation was made for the fac
tory to commence work this morning at 7
o’clock. As early as 4 o’clock a number of
bands were astir, and about 5 o’clock Mr.
Bitting, one of the blowers, detected a
bright light behind the center of the main
building which he at first thought was the
■sun rising. In a few moments he saw a
sheet of name shoot upward from the roof
and at once gave the alarm. All the
bands turned out promptly, and although
they quickly had the hose attachments
ready .or use and a good stream of water
playing on the building, the lire had
gained such headway that they were
forced to fall back and let the flames do
their work. The inventory showed that
the main building with the entire plant
was a total loss, with the exception
of the ovens and engine, which were in a
small building that was only partially
destroyed. The total loss is estimated at
•f-10,000 with insurance amounting to about
•$25,000. One hundred hands, mostof whom
are experienced glass blowers, were to
have gone to work this morning. They
are now thrown out of work aud there will
be nothing for them to do until the first of
next September, by which time the com
pany claims they well have the factory re
built.
Their Investigations Korun.
Atlanta, June 21.—The special com
mittee appointed by the legislature to in
vestigate alleged abuses in the Georgia
convict camps held a meeting in the cham
ber of the president of the senate in the
capitol at 8 o’clock this morning. Messrs.
Huff, Schofield, Ham, Harrison and Ter
rell were all present. Principal Keeper
Towers and Assistant Shubrickand princi
pal physician Dr. Westmoreland, and Col.
W. B. Lowe, the lessee, were examined
by the committee. The main object
of this morning’s investigation ap
peared to be to adduce as
much evidence as possible upon the man
ner of the transfer employed by the origi
nal lessees in sub-leasing the convicts. A
portion of the committee hold that in sub
letting the contract of the lessees with the
state is clearly violated under the act of
1876. There are differences of opinion,
however, and Mr. Harrison showed him
self a strong friend of the lease system.
Reports have reached the committee that
two convicts had been shot down and
quietly buried on Sunday, June 5, at the
plantation of ex-Senator James M. Smith,
in Oglethorpe while rebelling against their
guards for working them on Sunday. This
report, it seems, has also unofficially
reached the penitentiary keeper and the
governor, but has been kept from the
pres3,and up to this time nothing has beeu
■done. To-morrow a special committee,
accompanied by principal keeper Trwers,
go to ogl e ri Jor P e and will make a thorough
investigation. The governor was ques
tioned by the committee this afternoon on
the disposition he would make of
the convicts in the event
of forfeiting the lease.
He said he should wish to keep the con
victs in the custody of the state and work
them under the auspices o. the state, but
should be governed by the advice of the
attorney-general, to whom he would sub
mit the question should the contingency
arise. Should the rumors of the Ogle
thorpe camp prove true Colonel Smith’s
lease will doubtless be forfeited to the
state. The governor ordered the principal
keeper to make a searching investigation.
The Nursery Agents’ Tax.
Atlanta, June 21.—The governor isiued
an executive order to-day suspending the
-collection of tax due under the second
section of the general acts of 18S6-’87 im
posing upon nursery agents the payment
of §25 each until the legislature can review
tne act. Much opposition has been mani
fested by parties assessed under this pro
vision of the tax law.

Atlanta, June 21.- The adjutant-gen
eral to-day issued commissions for the
fallowing volunteer officers: James M.

The ltailroad Commissioners
ATLANTA, June 21.—The railroad com
mission held an informal meeting to-day.
Several changes were made in t he classifica
tions of freight—calicoes from the fourth to
the sixth class, pearline from class It to
four, mustard seed from the third to sixth.
Seventy five bushels of mustard seed were
this year produced and shipped
north by Colonei John P. Fort,
of Dougherty, alone, and he states that he
wiil increase his business in this line next
year to two car loads. A single firm ir

MRS. CLEVELAND A STUDENT AGAI
with an expectant throng, who had antici
pated her arrival. President Frisbie bore
himself very proudly as he^escorted her
from the “bus” to the vestibule. Precisely
as was her custom during her four years of
student life, Mrs. Cleveland tripped up the
aisle with the other girls to the seats be
side the pulpit and alternately waved a
long palm leaf and joined in singing the
hymns announced by the pastor, Rev. l)r.
Wells. The sermon was addressed to the
graduating clua t of the Cayuga Lake Mili
tary Academy, and tho music of the acad
emy quartet reflected much credit on their
instructor, Prof. Holland.
Follow ing a precedent established years
ago the members of the graduating class
of Wells college accompanied by their
parents dined with the faculty, and Mrs.
Cleveland did the honors, dressed in black
silk with jet trimming.
In the evening, accompanied by Misses
Kingsford, Alexander and Severance, of
the class of ’85, Mrs. Cleveland drove to
the church to listen to the baccalaureate
sermon by Dr. Frisbie. She occupied her
old seat under the pulpit. She wore white
corded silk with gold trimmings and bon
net to mutch.
When Mrs. Cleveland and her former
classmates, Misses Kingsford, Alexander
and Severance, reached Aurora they ex
pected that one of the most pleasant fea-
tures of their brief stay would be the pre
seutation of a handsome diamond ring to
their lormer preceptress, Miss Helen F.
Smith. Mrs. Cleveland had the rin<* care
fully laid away in her trunk, and had been
requested by the other ladies to make the
presentation Suddenly one of the party
suggested that anything attempted on Fri
day was sure to end unfortunately, and at
Mrs. Cleveland’s request, the presentation
was delayed until after midnight, when it
was made amid much hilarity and with
many well wishes.
On Monday evening a concert will be
given under the auspices of the Castalla
quartet, of New York, formerly of Buffalo,
where it became familiar to lovers of clas
sical music as the Dannreuther quartet.
Tuesday moruing, at 10 o’clock, the class-
day exercises will take place, when the
essays of the graduating class will be read,
interspersed with musical selections,
i The members of the graduating
class are Miss Addie Kenyon, of
Waverlv, N. Y.; Miss Dorothy Lyon, of
Meadville, Pa.; Miss Martha Steel, of
vSpringiield, O.; Miss Jessie Stevens, of
Neenah, Wis., and Miss Florecce Wells, of
Clinton, la.
A students’ concert will be given in the
evening. On Wednesday the annual meet
ing of the trustee? will be held iu the
morning, followed by commencement ex
ercises, with an address before the gradu
ating class by R, W. Gilder. The usual re
ception will take place at the close.

SWEPT OVER NIAGARA FALLS.

of Many People.
NiaoaraFalls, N. Y.. June 19.—A party
of young people on the Third Sister Island,
the nearest to the main channel of the
Niagara river above the falls, were horri
fied to see a young man walk rapidly past
them this afternoon and throw himself
into the water.
The stranger had been noticed silting on
a bench and it was thought that he was
carving his name. On the bench was
found a card, on the f.ice of which was
written: “Telegraph 1 have gone over
the falls.” The body was swept over the
cataract and was seen floating in the river
underneath the bridge. Up to a late hour
to-night it had not been recovered.
The suicide was Frank Triggs, of Wash
ington, who has been on a visit. He was a
passenger agent of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, and about 25 years old. The
New York Central ticket agent here said
that Triggs left him in front of the llnter-
national hotel about 1 o’clock and was in
as good spirits as usual.

Boston, June 19.—Bijou, the great pet
elephant who has for two years been on
exhibition in the World’s Museum on
Washington street and previously was a
resident of the Central Park menagerie in
New York, was given poison last night.
Tnis animal was the oldest and had been
in captivity longer than any elephant ever
on exhibit on. Bijou has been in this coun
try for sixty years, and while he is known
to be seventy-flve years old the probabili
ties are that he was born nearly a hundred
years ago. Recently he had suffered
greatly from old age, and his efforts to
stand up and receive cakes and candies
from visitors at the museum as he used to
were painful in the extreme. In the last
two weeks his massive legs refused to sup
port the weight of his huge body, aud his
attempts to respond to the call of his old
trainer were very affecting. He would try
co raise himself on his knees and then,
reaching his trunk towards his keeper, the
huge beast would settle back and moan.
The old elephant had also lost his appe
tite and was growing thin. He found it.
ha d to sleep, and lay awake nights
groaning and in such evident pain that it
was decided to kill him. A box of choco-
drops saturated with a powerful
poison was given Bijou after the museum
closed last night, and in forty live minutes
the beast twined his trunk affectionately
ound nis keeper and died. Bijou's body
will be buried in un underground air tight.
u til decomposition is complete. This
will require some nine months, after which
the bones w 11 be separated, bleached, and
then prepared, and in another month the
kolton will be placed on exhibition at the
Yorld’s Museum.
Bijou was an African elephant. Sixty
years ago he came to this country, since
which time ho had traveled with nearly
very circus on the road. Twenty times,
it is said, his ownership changed hands,
_ci with each stranaed show poor Bijou
would get a new master. When a young
ster he was owned by a London tavern
keeper, who exhibited him with a pair of
immense gorillas in his tavern, and from
there he drifted across the Continent.
When but an infant Prince Albert, of
England, rode him and made him a pet,
but his after life was not so pleasant.
In 1840 he visited Germany with a promi
nent showman and tramped back and
forth throughout the world until 1873 and
1874, when he was an attraction in the
Great Eastern circus. Then O. P. Older, a
well-known circus man, purchased him,
and later Bob Frier, an equestrian with
Bamum’s circus, broke him to tricks.
Bijou then went to California, and at last
drifted back to New York. On the way
home in crossing a bridge Bijou refused,
after trying the planking, to make the
passage.’ It is keepers, it is claimed,
goaded him on, he took a few more steps
and plunged through the rotten boards,
spraining his ankle, and since then he has
never been himself.
While in the Central park menagerie iu
New York the agent of the World’s Mus
eum bought him. That was two years ago,
and until within three weeks Bijou wan
never oit his feet, even to lie down. He
was considered one of the best trick ele
phants in the countrv. He played five
Junes on the harp, played the harmonica,
stood on his head and did the housekeep
ing business f r the circus with all the in
telligence of his nature. During his sick
ness he has been fed largely on fruit, and a
day’s allowance included two dozen
oranges, twelve loaves of bread, one hun-
rirecTand fifty pounds of hay, half a bushel
of grain and a bucket tof shorts.
Bijou was valued at$3000 and was prob
ably better known throughout the coun
try than any elephant ever on exhibition.

Pittsburg, June 18.—The first train that
ever ran west of the Alleghany mountains
with crude petroleum as the only fuel in
its locomotive tenders and fire-box was
the mail train west over the Pennsylvania
railroad that arrived in this cit/ last night.
It came through from Altoona on time and
without a stick of timber or a scuttle of
coal. There was entire uniformity of heat
iu the fire-box. Pipes communicated *vith
200 gallons of crude oil in a tank in the
tender.
The next experiment was a complete
success. Splendid time was made, and
there was no annoyance from smoke or
cinders. Experiments in this line have
been quietly progressing under the Penn
sylvania auspices at Altoona, but this is
the first time the long run to Pittsburg
has been attended with only oil for fuel.
The process is the invention of a Russian
scientist, and Dr. Dualey, of tho Altoona
shops, has been developing it slowly hut
surely. It will, of course, prove a great
stroke of economy. The second section of
the day express left this morning for the
east with the same locomotive and fuel.
A Fatal Collision.
Philadelphia, June 21 —A collision oc
curred at Havre De Grace. Maryland, on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti
more railroad this evening between two
express trains. It is reported that three
persons were killed, three very badly in
jured and a number of others more or less
seriously injured. The railroad officers
here decline to give any information what
ever about the accident.

of Mind.
Aurora, N. Y., Juno 19.—The second
day of Mrs. Cleveland’s visit at Wells Col
lege was as uneventful as its predecessor
•‘For a few days let me be Frank roisoro
again,” she said to the venerable presi
dent. “and make no more display than
you were accustomed to iu the good old
days when I was a student ot the institu
tion.” . , ,
In accordance with her wishes she n
gles with the undergraduates in the parlors
and halls and sits with them at the nit
table in the basement as though she was
actually one of their number again A
desultory sort of drizzle which commenced
early in the morning led Mrs. Cleveland to
think that the quiet of her apartments
would be preferable to a drive to the 1 res-
byteriau church in the village, which is
usually attended by the students in a body,
but sire finally concluded to brave tne
rain storm and entered the college
“bus” with her old companions. Not
withstanding the rain, when sne
reached the church the walks were lined
Buffalo, New York, June 19.—A panic
was narrowly averted at the dedication of
the new Polish church of the Seven Dolars
this afternoon by the presence of mind of
the clergymen. While the Rev. Father
Herter was delivering the dedicatory ser
mon, a portion of the raised platform on
which the clergy and invited guests were
seated fell with a crash, carrying down
over 100 men, women and children.
Tht- immense crowd surged around the

A Novel Contest.
A drinking contest took place In a Car-
son saloon yesterday. Two young men,
aged 19 and 20, wagered $10 that one could
drink more large tumblers of cold water
than the other. One drank nine glasses,
while the other, though, a much smaller
man, gulped down eleven. The former
when last seen was quite sick, while the
winner was quite jubilant over his victory.
What kind of stomachs they possess can
best be determined by the advocates of
prohibition. The bar-keeper seemed to be
the only one complaining, as he said the
contest did not enlarge the receipts of the
bar.—Territorial (Nev.) Enterprise.

SICK AND
Up to a few weeks ago I considered my-
sell tlie champion Dyspeptic of America,
During the years that I have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed to
lie a specific for Dyspepsia in the hope of
finding something that would afford per
manent relief. I had about made up my
mind to abandon all medicines when I no
ticed an endorsement of Simmons Liver
If n<.l'i.atou by a prominent Georgian, a
jurist whom I Knew, and concluded to try
its effects in my case. I have used but
two bottles, and am satisfied that I have
struck the right thing at last. I felt its
beneficial effects almost immediately.
Unlike all other preparations of a similar
kind, no special instructions are required
as to what one shall or shall not eat. This
fact alone ought to commend it to ail
troubled with Dyspepsia.
