-J. E. CARGILL.
—A cold wave is predicted for this
morning by the weather fiends.
—The live stock market is active and
fair prices prevail, with an upward ten
dency.
—Travel was good on all the railroads
leading into the city yesterday and busi
ness was very good.
—The rain which fell yesterday was wel
comed by ail pedestrians, who had been
I compelled to breathe real estate tor several
weeks.
—There were several visitors in the city
i yesterday I ruin aeale and that vicinity,
j where much interest is manifested, to hear
the testimony and speeches in tlie case of
the .state vs James Biekerstaff, Robert
| and Ricnard Howard.
—Two cases were disposed of by the
Mayor yesterday morning in tiie police
court. A m-gro man, for contempt of
j court, was sentenced to thirty days on tin
chain gang, and a negro woman was fined
$5 for disorderly conduct, which was paid
and the woman released.
—A very stupid and unpardonable error
on the part of a careless printer in a para
graph yesterday gave the I’residcni’s nn s-
sage as containing over 1209 words, when
j it should have been It',000. This stupidi'y
| spoiled the effect, ot Uie compliment to tIn
efficient telegraph operators, but tin- intel
ligent reader detected at a dance the an
noying error. and will award the skillful
manipulators of the keys due credit.
A i.a Three Cakii Monte.—Louis
Griggs and ( diaries Williams, colored, two
wouid-ne sharp' rs, were arrested yester
day by Lieut, Pickett for attempting to
work a game of cauls, a la three card
monte, on one Joseph Ncott, colored, on
Broad street, near the hell tower. Their
s-dieme was to talce three prieces of cun!
hoard and mark an x on one. then mix tin-
tliree and h t Neot t, bet that in; could not
draw the marked curd. Lieut, l’iekett
appeared on the scene and nipped their
little game in its iueipieney, and they now
languish behind the bars oi the city prison,
and will likely get a term on the chain
gang.
Hanlon’s “Fantas.ua.'’—In regard
to this attraction, which will he given at
tlie opera house in this city, the Atlanta
Constitution says: This is undoubtedly
the finest thing of the kind that has ever
been presented in Atlanta, and hears the
reputation of excelling any other attraction
of the sort in the country.
There never lias been in the South such
scenery as that shown last night. Words
cannot begin to do it justice. From be
ginning to end beautiful pictures follow
one another in <|uick succession, each, it
seems, exceeding all that have gone before
in brilliancy. Some of the effects pro
duced are both dazzling and wonderful and
the immense audience last night gave its
heartiest approval of every feature.
Unlike most of the attractions which
make scenic effect a feature, “ Fantasma’’
lias a story, and an interesting one. There
is not one hitch from the time the curtain
rolls up, and every scene and every act
moves with vim and spirit. There is not
a dull moment during the three hours ot
“ Fantasma.” The cast is a strong one
throughout. The performance as a whole
was splendid, and deserved the large house
that greeted it. There is not an objec
tionable line, scene or situation in the en
tire play, and it is certainly well worth
seeing.
PERSONAL.
Miss Belle Swift, of Waverly Hal), Ga.,
is visiting Mrs. Dr. Schley, on Second ave
nue.
Miss Hennie Hardin, of Waco, Texas, is
in the city, on a visit to her aunt, Mrs.

Mrs. W. M. Jenkins, Mrs. Eugene

Ocala, Fia., where they go to attend the
fair now in progress in that city.
Mr. and Mrs. G. L, Candler have re
turned home, after an extended tour
through the North and Northwest, and are
given a cordial welcome by their friends.
The Columrus Investment Com
pany.—Editor Enquirer-Sun : Your At
lanta dispatch of yesterday states that “a
bill was introduced in the Senate on yes
terday to incorporate the Columbus Invest
ment Company.” This is a mistake. The
bill introduced yesterday was to confer
banking privileges on the Columbus Invest
ment Company, which was chartered and
duty organized April 4, 1889, and which
has now a capital of $225,000. Of this
amount $105,000 lias been paid in in cash,
and the balance is being paid at tlie rate
of 84-500 per month. The company paid
a handsome cash dividend to the stock
holders the first year of its organization,
and has today a surplus of $7000 in its
treasury. The company lias a right under
its present charter lo increase its capital to
$500,000, which will tie done in the near
future. Respectfully,
John F. Flournoy,
President Columbus Investment Co.

Quickly ?
If so, your baking powder is adulter

injurious to health.
Housekeepers who use Cleveland’s
Superior Baking Powder know that it

light, wholesome bread, biscuit, cake,
j etc., that retain their natural moisture
and sweetness. This desirable quality,
in a bakmg powder shown by the Official
Reports to be the strongest of all pure
cream of tartar powders, makes Cleve

Columbus, Ga., December :J, 1S90.—

lowing report of city work done since my
last report of September 30, 1890:
The work from that time on has been
confined to the streets, regrading and put
ting in small lateral sewers (terra coLt&j
where needed. This work has been priu
cipally on Broad street, First, Second and
Third avenues, and immediately around
the Exposition grounds. Werocoba drive
has been opened from Tenth to Eleventh
avenue. These streets are now in fair
condition, and with a little attention can
be kept so.
The city is at present working on Ninth
street, west of Front street, putting down
a first-class roadway of broken granite and
lime. This work was much needed, as
some of tlie heaviest hauling in the city
passes over this street, and it was in bad
condition. Yours respectfully,
C. G. Barney,
.Superintendent Public Works.
The following reports of officers for No
vember were received:
Mr. Beard, Marshall, reported part dues

dent 4; colored residents 22; paupers 9:
non-resident 0.
Mr. Williams, Sanitary Inspector, re

Hon. Mayor and City Council—Gentle
men : 1 regret to state that more com
plaints were filed with me during Novem
ber, concerning tlie foul gas arising from
the sewers, than during any previous
month of the year. The sewers are in a
very bad state, owing to the fact that we
have had little or no rain for several
months. With the exception of tlie sew
ers the sanitary condition of the city is
very good.
During the month of November the san
itary carts and wagons have hauled from
the streets and alleys 1830 loads of garbage
and trash, 97 barrels of spoiled oysters, 22
barrels of night soil, 8 dead horses and
mules, 5 cows, 35 dogs, 57 cats, 2(11 dead

style, and was frequently almost dramatic.
He said on account of family troubles, of
which a full account would be given be
fore a court of competent jurisdiction. He
had believed there would be trouble when
he and Dawson met; that the relations be
tween himself and Dawson were of such a
nature that Dawson knew and understood
as well as himself that a meeting would re
sult in a personal difficulty; he saw Daw
son approaching on the day of the diffi
culty; when only a few feet distant heart!
Richard Howard say, “Look out, Buddie
Bob,” and noticed that Dawson had his
hand on his pistol pocket; knowing all the
circumstances and believing himself in
immiuent danger, he made a
leap and landed square face to face with
Dawson; plunged his knife, as he thought,
up to the hilt in Dawson. Dawson moved
off in a circle, and thinking his knife had
not done the work, he drew his revolver
and firt-d until every barrel was empty.
He stated that there was no conspiracy to
kill Dawson; said all he had uttered was
nothing but the truth, and the whole
truth. He hoped, after all facts tiad been
brought out, if court found killing was not
justifiable, that the law would temper jus
tice with mercy, and deal lightly with his
brother and brother-in-law. If anyone
had to be incarcerated let it he him; and
if anyone had to suffer the extreme penalty
he hoped it would be him.
.JAMES bickekstaff's statement.
Mr. Biekerstaff said that there was not,
to his knowledge, any conspiracy to kill
Dawson; that he was not the man to enter
into conspiracies; that he did not see the
origin of the difficulty, and the first inti
mation he had of it was when lie heard
tlie pistol firing: he looked and saw it was
the Howards and Daws n; did not draw
bis pistol until Dawson had made the
circle, seemed to recognize him (Bicker-
staff) and was coming toward him, pistol
in hand: lie then drew his pistol, and dis
charged it twice; the first time it dis
charged in the air as he was bringing it
down; next time his pistol was level, and
he saw Dawson sink to the ground; he
was then placed under arrest.
By agreement there will be five speeches,
two by the State, and three by the defense.
Solicitor-General Carson made the open
ing speech for tlie prosecution, lie spoke
about an hour and then asked for an ad
journment until after dinner. He finished
in about the same length of time in the
afternoon, and was followed by Hon. L. F.
Garrard for the defense. Mr. Garrard’s
speecli consumed something like one hour
Mr. Worrill of tlie defense, also spoke
about the same length of Lime, when court
adjourned until 9 o’clock this morning.
lion. W. A. Little for the defense, will
deliver the first speech tiiis (morning, and
Col. Samford will close for the prosecution.

Don’t spend your money without reflection;
you can buy Salvation Oil lor 25 cents.
In England every mail’s house is his
castle, across whose threshold non J»'Lare
pass without the consent of the owner;
but when an officer of law comes anil de
mands admission in the King’s 'xune,
every portal files open at that magical
sound. ' \-
And now the Daughters of tlie king of
Kings knock at the. doors of your (.parts
and call on you to open in tha’ Wjud
name. They have determined to found
and build up an institution for the protec
tion, preservation and education of the un
fortunate orphan boys, left without homes
or families to the cold charity of tlie world;
to pick up little waifs drifting on the great
ocean of life, without sail, compass or
chart—drifting into the maelstrom of sin,
crime and death, and to bring them into a
safe aud secure harbor, where, imbued
with the principles that make useful and
honorable men, they may have a fair start
in tlie race of life.
Is it not a noble project ? Is it not one
worthy of the Daughters of the King of
Kings, who for sweet charity’s sake ask
your assistance ? Is not the royal and sa
cred name under whose banner they are
marching, sufficient to make you open
your In ar.s and aid them in their glorious
cause ?
People of Columbus! You have, founded
for the orphan girls an institution that is
one of the brightest gems in the coronet
of your fair city. When the Confederate
orphans from Mississippi came among you,
you arose as one man, clasped them to
your hearts and showered your benefits on
them. When the fever stricken sister
cities have stretched out their arms to you
and cried for help, instantly, without so
licitation, you have lavishly responded.
And shall the cries of the helpless orphans
of Columbus fall on leaden cars and hearts
of stone'.* No! The people of Columbus
have never listened with disdain to the
cry of woe; they have ever been ready to
succor the poor and unfortunate; and now
this noble band of women, judging the
future by the past, and believing that the
great heart of this city, throbbing with
noble and generous impulses, will not be
turned away from them, again invokes its
sympathy and generous assistance. The
means they have adopted have been made
known, and they ask you to join hands
with them in their noble enterprise by
your patronage and countenance.
