Jay Gould has his hands full in
bulling Western Union stock, and
meanwhile the bears are active in de
pressing other securities wherein he is
interested.
In England all persons who get mar
ried are obliged to do so before noon,
unless they obtain a special license. A
bill extending the hour to 4 o’clock is
under consideration.
We have nothing of interest to re
port from the Legislature this week.
A multitude of local and special bills
have been introduced, but few have
reached the Governor for his signature
yet.
It is a significant fact that the lead

only the Times, defend that mon

Be on the Lookout.
It will be well enough for our mer
chants and farmers to be on the look
out for light-weight gold eagles and
double eagles, for bogus silver dollars
and spurious bank bills. There are
several gangs of counterfeiters still
operating in the South, and the secret
service of the Treasury is after them.
Filled eagles are said to be quite
common in some portions of Tennes
see.
A gentleman residing in Washing
ton writes to the Star of that city.
“Regarding ‘the old lady of refinement
and culture’ claiming to be the daugh
ter of the late Vice-President William
R. King, of Alabama, whose arrival at
Wheeling on her way to Washington
is chronicled in the Star of last eve
ning, allow me to say, for the benefit of
some of our good citizens, that the
gentleman named, whom I knew per
sonally and well, had no daughter,
having lived and died a bachelor.”
Telegraph <t- Messenger. —Georgia
is to be congratulated that at a reunion
of one of her battle-scarred regiments,
where there was much indulgence in
oratory, not one soldier could be found
to give thanks that he and his com
rades had been whipped by the Yankees,
not one to publish his gratification that
he had been spanked by the paternal
government. The gallant eighteenth
did no injustice to the memory of the
dead left on the field of battle, and no
violence to the feelings of the survivors
of a heroic struggle.

THE ASSOCIATE JUDGESHIP.
Col. M.H.Blan ford the Success
ful Candidate.
A dispatch from Atlanta, of August
the 3rd, from Hon. J. B. Hudson,
Representative of Webster county, to
the Republican, announces the election
of Col. M. H. Blanford, of Columbus,
as Associate Judge of the Supreme
Court, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Judge Martin J. Craw
ford. The election of Colonel Blan
ford will be hailed with much delight
by his many admirers throughout this
section.
Senator Brown on Schools of
Technology.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph, has had a long in
terview with Senator Brown on schools
of technology. Among other things
the correspondent reports:
The Senator stated that we must
change our policy in the South, and
dignify labor more than has ever been
done in the past. The learned profes
sions are now crowded to overflowing.
Hundreds of very bright boys are not
known to be bright because they have
had no chance to show their brightness.
He thinks that the very best thing to
be done is to establish, in connection
with the university, a school of tech
nology where these bright boys could
be trained in all the mechanic arts. We
need not only engineers, but we need
men who know how to make engines
and cars, and all the implements of
husbandry that are used in our fields.
We need not only engineers, iut we
need men who know how to build fac
tories and how to run them.
*******
And while the Senator would not
disparage the learned professions, for
they are of immense use, he said, he
would rank the mechanic arts along
side of them and their usefulness and
that they ought to command all the
means necessary from the State treas
ury for the development of the miuds
of the youth who are to be engaged in
them. No one can over-estimate the
importance of these things, in his opin
ion, and he very cordially favors any
plan that the Legislature may adopt
that will accomplish this object.
The Southwestern Railroad In
tension.
Savannah News.
The proposed extension of the South
western railroad from Blakely, Ga., to
Columbia, Ala., will, when carried
through, open up a fine country. Those
who are well posted with reference to
the route which it will follow and the
territory tiibutary to the proposed ter
minus of the road do not hesitate to
say that the extension will be a paying
investment for the Central Railroad
and a valuable feeder tor the outly in
curred.
Capt. John T. Davis and Mr. R. 11.
Walker, representative men from Co
lumbia, are now in Savannah looking
after the matter. It is gratifying to
learn they are much encouraged by
their conference with leading railroad
men and wholesale merchants here and
they believe the extension is the ques
tion of but a short time. The geograph
ical location of the country through
which it will pass shows it to be an
excellent territory and a fine feeder to
the Central Railroad and Savannah,
when the short gap between Blakely
and Columbia is filled up. From re
liable sources it is learned that the
country west of Columbia and tributa
ry to it has greatly improved within
the past few years, and the city has
assumed larger proportions. Its cot
ton trade is also increasing from year
to year. The interests of the Central
Railroad and Savannah, it is clearly
seen, will be greatly advanced by the
opening up of Southern Alabama, with
ita fine country, rich in farming lands
and timber and filling up rapidly with
a thrifty population.
Foolish Legislation.
Mr. Hulsey, of Fulton, has intro
duced a bill to exempt from road duty
all professional teachers and sndents
attending college. We are opposed to
all such class legislation, and agree
with the Marietta Journal that “there
is as much justice in exempting the
farmer and mechanic as the college
professor If he don’t want to work the
roads, let him hire a substitute—his
salary will amply admit of it. We
think Legislators are hard pushed for
something to do when they introduce
such bills. No doubt the anxiety to
“do something,” to attract notoriety,
and to impress tho public with the au
thor’s sagacious statesmanship, is the
ruling motive that prompts the intro
duction of such worthless bills. The
tax payers have to foot the expenses
nevertheless. The complaints of the
people about such foolish legislation
are getting to be loud and condemna
tory.”
Struggle for Life.
We learn that Samuel Miller, who
lives with his father, Mr. Bras. Miller,
about eight miles South of Hawkins
ville, was attacked by a monster alli
gator a few days ago. A party of
triends and himself were in the river
seining, when Mr. Miller was seized
by the right leg by the monster and
was being borne rapidly out into the
stream. He cried, “help! help!” when
his friends rushed to his rescue. Af
ter a severe struggle, he was liberated
and found to be painfully wounded in
the right leg. His gatorship was kill
ed and measured about 11 feet in
length.— Hawkins ville Hew*.
STATE NEWS.
The Macon Telegraph says; "A
young man broke the neck of a bottle
of beer yesterday and drank it. In do
ing so a piece of the bottle lodged in
his throat, from where it was taken
by Dr. Dunwoody. The piece was
nearly an inch long.”
Athens Banner-Watchman: Those
merchants who do not advertise in the
newspapers have spent enough money
in board signs between here and Wat
kinsville, to run a newspaper for sev
eral months. We notice one sign up
in the top of a tree. We suppose he
is after the possum trade.
The Albany News and Advertiser
says that Furlong, the man who beat
his wife near Tifton last week, was
tried before a committal court Wednes
day and bound over in the sum of
$2,500 for assault with intent to mur
der. Judge G. J. Wright, of that
city, was retained by the prosecution.
Marietta Journal: Mr Thomas
Griggs, a railroad track hand, was
bitten by a black spider last Friday,
which caused his body to swell to an
unnatural size, producing great bodily
and mental pain. Ho writhed in agony
and was almost crazy. He was drench
ed copiously with whisky to counteract
the poison, with what result we do not
know, as he was carried to his houve
several miles in the country. He is the
gentleman who was bitten by a mad
dog some two months ago, and who
has been in moral dread ever since
of hydrophobia.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: A gen
tleman who claims to know whereof he
speaks, says that the report that the
Central Railroad Company had pur
chased a controlling interest in the
Brunswick and Western, is incorrect.
He says that Mr. Morse, the General
Manager of the Brunswick and Wes
tern, informed him since the publica
tion of the report that it was not true.
As an evidence of the incorrectness oi
the report, the gentleman says that a
large force is kept constantly at work
day and night, building tho bridge
across the Flint river at Albany. A
large force was engaged in this work
Sunday night, so as to complete the
road across the Flint within the time
agreed to by the purchasers. W T e
trust that the gentleman has been cor
rectly informed, and that the road will
yet be extended to Columbus.
The Mitchell House
COMPLETELY DESTROYED DY FIRE.
Special to the Telegraph and Messenger.
TnoMAsvn.LE, August 2. —About 2
o’clock this morning fire was discovered
in the dining room and kitchen of the
widely known hotel, the pride of this
place, the Mitchell House. The fire
burned rapidly and made considerable
headway before the engines began to
play. It was evident that it was use
less to attempt to save it, and at 8:45
it was abandoned and the efforts of the
firemen directed to saving other build
ings on the opposite side of the street.
The house was insured for only $05,000
which makes a clear loss of over $40,-
000. The insurance is divided among
several companies.
Mr. Mitchell says he does not yet
know whether he will rebuild. Should
he lack the funds, we have no doubt
but that the deficiency could be easily
made up among the other citizens if he
desires to rebuild.
The stores beneath the hotel were oc
cupied by S. Styloman, dealer in dry
goods and groceries. His stock was
valued at $12,000; insurance $6,000.
W. M. Reese, druggist, had his
stock fully covered by insurance.
J. Ferbes’ stock of furniture was
valued at $6,500; insurance $1,500
Stock was all moved.
The firemen did good work in saving
the buildings across the way from the
fire. A good deal of furniture was
saved from the hotel. J. H. M.
Trouble in the Church.
AN IRREVERENT DEACON FIRES A SITT
TOON AT THE PREACHER.
Columbia, S. 0., August I.—The
members of the Colored Baptist Church
at Orangeburg do not dwell together in
Christian unity and brotherly love.
The other evening a church meeting
was held for the purpose of investiga
ting charges preferred against the
pastor, the Rev. Pharaoh Robinson,
who it appears has been guilty of undue
familiarity with a colored sister of his
flock.
The reverend brother loudly protest
ed his innocence, and during the dis
cussion, which waxed warm, had the
temerity to accuse Deacon Louis Dick
son of bringing the charges against
him out of jealousy and spite. TbL
was more than the Christian spirit ot
Deacon Dickson oould stand, and he
promptly picked up a spittoon and
“downed” Pastor Robinson. A free
fight then ensued until the Town Mar
shal arrived upon the scene and put a
Btop to the racket, when the meeting
adjourned without the benediction.
And the end is not yet.
A Salutatory.
An Arkansas journalist in assuming
control of the local columns of a week
ly paper, says: The proprietors of the
Skillet have deemed it advisable for
me to lend my influence for me to this
great enterprise. lam an old hand at
the business, and come highly recom
mended, having been run out of the
swamp land district on account of a
delicately, expressed sentiment to the
effect that the county judge was a
thief of no small capacity. So long
as the judge of this county remains
honest, or, rather, is not caught steal
ing anything, I may stay with you and
help you develop the wonderful resour
ces of this section; but jnst so soon as
he is proved to be a thief, I reckon I’ll
have to slide. I take this method oi
informing the people that I will preach
at the Clay Hill chnrch next Sunday.
From New York anti Other
Papers.
By Times-Star Leased Lines,
THE HERALD.
The Western Union Company as
serts that some of its wires have been
injured. If any one cuts or injures the
telegraph wires we hope he will be de
tected and severely punished. The
telegraph Brotherhood speak out man
fully on the subject, denouncing that
kind of lowlessness and say if it could
be shown that any of their own people
have been criminal enough to
do this the Brotherhood would them
selves repair the lines free of charge to
the Company. That is right. So far
the strikers have conducted themselves
admirably, and the public hopes they
will continue to do so.
THE WORLD.
The absence of the President and of
the whole Cabinet from the seat of the
Government naturally calls for com
ment on so remarkable a situation of
affairs, but is forestalled by the expla
nation that the Government gets along
as well without them. It is quite cus
tomary for each minister to be away
more or less, and when away the De
partment runs itself. We should like
to accept this explanation and believe
the Government gets along quite as
well with the President and Cabinet
away as when they are here. But the
contusion we should have to draw from
this would be that the administration
was a superfluous expense, and motives
of delicacy prevent us from urging this
view on tho public attention.
THE TIMES.
We await with impatience the ap
pearance of Mr. Jay Gould before the
United States Senate Commission,
which is to resume in this city its in
quiry into the relations between capi
tal and labor. The Committee, it is
said, will give some attention to the
strike, and seek to obtain as much in
formation as possible from the Wes
tern Union Telegraph Company rela
tive to its condition, its management,
and its relations to its employes. Mr.
Gould can tell them all about the af
fairs of the Company, and not only the
Committee, but the public, would be
greatly interested in his testimony, if
he would take the stand and tell all he
knows, but, we regret to say, Mr.
Gould is no child; neither is he at all
times frank, and he libs a phenomenally
defective memory. It will require very
skillful questioning, we fear to elicit
much information about the Western
Union Telegraph Company from Mr.
Gould.
MALE AND FEMALE SMOKERS.
Pall Mall Gazette.
The great and ancient controversy
about the evil of smoking has broken
out afresh in the columns of the Morn
ing Post, and this time in combination
with the yet older argument as to the
comparative vices of the sexes. Yes
terday “A Smoker’s Wife” drew a
lamentable picture of the condition to
which her husband, who was in the
habit of smoking ten times a day, had
been reduced by his favorite vice. “He
has given up in consequence all social
enjoyments, dinner parties, concerts,
the opera, and full church service”—
is the latter a “social enjoyment,” by
the way?—“because he cannot remain
more than an hour without his favorite,
and I may say his only, pleasure.”
To-day an indgnant champion of the
male sex caps this story by that of a
female offender who “is a cigarette and
cigar consumer, young and handsome,
but far from effeminate; extremely good
in the saddle, and better still at tight
lacing, her baby left for her nurse or
husband to take care of, while she sits
reading novels and smoking weeds.”
This is an equality of the sexes, in
deed, of which philogynist champions
have little dreamed, and which, we
may assume, they as little desire.
THE FIRST PUBLIC TRAYER IN DENVER.
From the Denver News.
Father Dyer, a Methodist minister,
now living on the Divide, was the pio
neer preacher in Colorado. He will
probably offer the opening prayer of
the approaching quarter centennial. It
is related ol Father Dyer that when he
first landed in what is now Denver he
saw before him a large tent, and to
that, supposing a camp meeting to be
in progress, he wended his way. To
his astonishment he found, not a camp
meeting, but a very extensive series of
games, such as faro, poker, keno and
the like, going forward. He remained
about the tent for forty-eight hours,
looking very intently upon the progress
of the games. At the end of that
period he stepped upon a table and said,
in a voice loud enough to be heard all
ibunt him: “Boys, I have looked at
your games now for the past eight and
forty hours. Now I ask you to give
some attention to mine. Let us pray!”
They had not before known that the
solemn looking man was a minister,
but at the invitation hats were taken
• If, chips were dropped, and all bowed
their heads in prayer, with Father
Dyer leading. And that was the first
public prayer uttered in the Pike’s
Peak country. After the prayer had
been concluded the games were resumed.
A HORSE CHOKED BY A SNAKE.
From the Elmira Advertiser.
Superintendent Lyon, of the Barclay
Coal Mines, was in the city Wednesday
and told an Advertiser reporter tho fol
lowing snake story, the authenticity of
which, he said, could be vouched for
by several reliable citizens. “On Tues
day last a boy was engaged in plough
ing on the farm of a man named Wil
kinson, between Greenwood and Mon
roeton, in Bradford County, when he
saw an enormous black snake lying
stretched along on the ground near the
fence. Frightened by the reptile the
boy dropped Ihe line and started on a
run for the house. Reinforced here by
several memberß of the family he went
back, when one of the horse* was found
lying on the ground with the python
tightly coiled about his neck. The
snake was despatched, when it was
found that the horse was dead, his life
having been choked out hy the snake,”
