An Alarm or Fire
Was sounded on Saturday last about. 2
p, m., and for a few minutes there
was quite an excitement on Broad
Street and College Avenue. The en
gines were out with usual promptness,
but as it happened there was no real
necessity for them, as the fire was put
out before any damage ensued. It oc
curred on Lumpkin Street, near the
Tan Yard, at the residence of Mrs.
Her. Building owned hy Mr. W. C.
Kemp.
Died, in Madison county, on the
1st instant, Mrs. Desdemona Williams,

W. was somewhere between 55 and 60
years of age.

Death of Col. 1 homos Morris, of Frank
lin Connty.
By an oversight, a notice oftlie demise
of this most estimable citizen of Frank
lin county, tailed to appear in our issue
of last week. From an obituary pub-
lishcd in the Gainesville Eagle of the 26th
nit., we take the following particulars
concerning the subject of this notice:—
Col. Morris was born in Franklin Coun
ty, in April, 1810, and had. therefore,
almost completed his sixty-fifth year at
the timo of hia death—February 16,1875.
His early youth waa spent in Franklin
and Hnlmn counties. While yet young,
his parents removed from Rabun to
Franklin county, where, with the excep
tion of a year or two spent in Murray
county, and nlxiut the same in Rlbcrt.
he lived all the remainder of his life.
He was twin brother of the lamented
General E. IV. Morris, who died in 1857,
at the same place, and almost in the
ttne spot, nnd of the same disease.—
Ationt 1855, he married Miss Mary
Turman, his twin brother Inning before
married her sister. The issue of this
marriage was two beautiful and accom
plished daughters, the elder being the
wife of Thomas O. Bnrriss, and the
younger now just arrived at womanhood.
As a business man. Colonel Morris was
without a superior in all his section of
the State. Prompt, truthful, honest—
he would make any sort of a sacrifice
before he would break a promise. His
character in the cities where he traded,
was enviable indeed. In Franklin coun
ty, he was the most popular man that
ever lived there. He held several county
offices, was five times elected to the Lc-
• gislature, haviag served in both branches.
Many of his old associates in the General
Assembly remember how faithfully he
watched the interests of his constituents
aad of his State, in the session* of 1839.
*40, ’41, ’59, '65, '06. * *
Many poor hoys can testify to the gene
rosity of Colonel Morris. He took them
up, educated them, advised, cheered and
assisted them. Himself the child of
poverty, he never failed to aid tiie aspir
ing. He amassed a competency ot this
world's goods, but he wanted it only to
enjoy, and to bestow upon his triends.
• * * A kindlier, more genial,
bigger-sonled, more honorable, or court
lier friend and companion, never lived.
An affectionate husband, a doting father,
a kind master, a devoted friend, a public
benefactor, his place canuot be Glled

Bold Attempt at Burglary.
On Saturday night last, an attempt
was made to enter the store of Messrs.
Snead, on Broad St., by prizing off one
of the front window shutters with a
crow-bar or something of the kind.
The burglar succeeded in getting the
ah utter loose and in breaking out a
pane of glass in the sash, but it would
seem, from all the circumstances, that
at this stage of the proceeding he was
frightened off from some cause, as the
gentlemen say they cannot miss any
thing in the way of goods.
Mr. 0. A. Atkinson.
The death of this promising young
man occurred at the University of
Georgia, on last Wednesday evening.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Atkinson, and was horn in Macon,
Ga., March 16th, 1854. Through the
shadow that has so lately shut him out
front human eye, we ase him aa he was
in September, 1870, when he matricu
lated in the University, a youth In
hisseventeenth year—whose instinctive
joyousness and elastic spirit were al
ready interblended with a manly sense
of energy and a steady appreciation of
earnest duty. Graduating in the
summer of 1872, with the Degree of
Bachelor of Science, he was subse
quently appointed Tutor in the State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, and in September of 1873,
entered on the work of his Tutorship.
In 1874, ho received the Degree of
Master of Arts, his spare time having
been devoted to those studies which
entitled him to this honor. Anxious
to achieve yet greater results as a stu
dent, he then undertook to read Law,
and, at the time of his death, Februa
ry 24th, was employing nil of his leis
ure to prepare himself for the active
life of his chosen Profession.
This was manhood before manhood’s
time. Maturity anticipated its ordi-
nary'years and perfected its first-fruits,
the glad token of a large harvest, in a
resoluteness of will, in a firmly-held
purpose, nnd in a loftiness of aspira
tion, that were as charming hy the
motive which inspired their activity,
as they were commendable by the vir
tues which sustained their buoyant
constancy. For these, we admired
him. Nor is this admiration the only
tribute to his great worth. Beneath
the unremitting toil, the stern exac
tions which were self-imposed, the se
vere denials which were daily prac
tised with such economic forethought
and wise sensihilitv, there was a ten
derness towards an aim and an object
which those who knew of its existence
and intensity, would not be content
simply to admire. For this, we loved
him. Although so finely endowed,
abounding with the qualities that make
genial and companionable mind,
open on all sides to the accesses of sen
timenl, yet, the recollection that, all
this was in the spirit of consecration
to a high and noble end, is the precious
thought which leaves its wake of beau
ty on the pathway of his vanished life.
Though he closed his career away
from home, yet, he died among friends
whose ministering sympathies were
touched to deepest tenderness during
his illness. He died in the arms and
on the bosom of his Alma Mater.—
Chancellor and Faculty attended his
remains to the Depot and an Escort of
students accompanied them to Macon
It was a sad day when he was borne
away from our midst, for he had
grown to he one of us in heart and life.
But if it is blessed to weep wilh
them that troop,” the tears that have
mingled here with the tears of his
mother and brother, will leave thei
sweet and silent benediction on on
remembrance of Charles A. Atkinson

The Presbyterian Supper given last
week at the Newton House, was quite
a success. The weather was awful—
reminded us of “’lasses poultice,” so
soft and sticky; but when we got
there, a lass! tee were like the poultice,
so soft and sticbj. She never looked
lovelier. We hope the ladies will get
up substantial entertainments often,
for that’s the way to men’s hearts.
A prominent Methodist has given
85.009 towards improving that church.
It is reported that they intend lifting
the top, digging out the bottom, and
cutting off the smoke. We’re afraid
we won’t feel at home.
Appropo to altove paragraph, we al-
o learn that a project (and a very
commendable one too, we think,) is on
foot b_y the little flock of Methodists at
Princton Factory, to put up a Bell on
their church ; consequently, the “prom
inent” Methodists ns well as the
‘prominent” members of other denom
inations in Athens, will probably be
most respectfully solicited to give a
little Material, aid to the enterprise.

Some 160 delegates were present.-
The session was extremely pleasant

to make such extracts as will, in our
judgment, conduce to the interest and

State Sunday School Convention.
The State Sunday School conven
tion has been postponed from Friday,
May 14th, to Friday, May 21st, in
consequence of the meeting of the
Southern Baptist Convention in
Charleston, S. C., during the second
week in May; and of the International
Sunday School Union in Baltimore on
the 11th, 12t*n and 13th of May.
This change has been deemed advisa-
[ ble under the circumstances. Schools
of all evangelical denominations are
entitled to representation in the ratio
of one delegate for every twenty
scholars. The next convention will be
held at Union Point, on the 21st, 22d
nnd 23d of May. A programme for
that convention will soon bo arranged
and published.
In a letter addressed to the presid
ing officer, Bishop Pierce says
fceartly approve the objects of your
convention, nnd other duties permit
ting, will be present.”
The object of the convention is In
spiration and Instruction. It is not a
convention of Union Sunday schools
but a convention of delegates from all
evangelical schools. I cordially invite
all such to be represented.
W. G. WniDBY, President.

About a Gas Bill.—A suit
comes off to-day before Magistrate
Abrams in which the accuracy of gas
metres in use in the city,‘and the cor
rectness of gas accounts will be investi
gated.
Under protest, a citizen paid a gas
bill amounting to $19 25, and now
proceeds to recover by law the sum of
$15 25, as the unlawful excess charged
him in the account, his true indebted
ness having been as alleged, only $4.
Distinguished counsel will appear on
both sides, and a lively litigation is an
ticipated.—Sav. Adv., Feb. 26th.
Bonds Declared Null and Void.
Atlanta, Feb. 26.—The Legisla
ture to-day declared unconstitutional,
null and void, the second scries of
$600,000 in bonds endorsed by the
.State in 1870, issued to the Macon
& Brunswick Railroad, said endorse
ment having been declared void and
binding by the Legislature of 1842.
The first series of bonds, amounting
to 195,000, are declared valid and
binding on the State.
Important Decisions la Railroad Law.
Chicago, Feb. 8tt.—Two very Im
portant decisions in railroad law, nave
Just been delivered in the Supreme
Court of Illoinois, as follows:
L Liability of d Railroad for Valua
ble Baggage.—Carrow, a traveler for a
New York jewelry dealer, had with
bin on the Michigan Centra] road a
trunk which was nearly of the common
kind, though somewhat heavier and
stouter than usual. It hod no dis
tinctive mark, and was checked like
ordinary baggage. Information as to
its contents was not given to the com-
B iny. It was destroyed by fire at
uchanan, Michigan, and Carrow,
claiming that it contained samples to
the value of $30,000, brought suit to
recover, and recovered $32,000 in the
Circuit Court of this (Cook i county.
The company appealed, and the Su
preme Court has reversed the judg
ment. It claimed that the company
had no notice as to the valuable con
tents of the trunk; that there was
nothing to show their value; that there
was constructive fraud on plaintiff’s
part in giving such a trunk thu3; that
his own negligence deprived him of
any title to great consideration, and
that it would require gross negligence,
amounting to wilful neglect, on the
part of the company, to make it liable.
Plantiff could only be entitled to a
reasonable amount as the value of
such personal property as an ordinary
traveler would carry with him.
II. Liability of Sleeping Car Compa
nies.—The decision is the same as timt
just delivered at Buffalo in re C. W.
Rees vs. Pullman Palace Car Compa
ny, but proceeds on a different line of
argument. Smith, a cattle dealer,
proceeding on a Pullman car from
Chicago to St. Louis, claimed to have
had stolen from the pocket of his vest,
which he had placed beneath hi- pil
low on retiring, $1,180. He sued to
recover in the Cook County Circuit
Court, nnd was given $*227 as the
amount that an ordinary traveler would
carry with him. The Pullman Com
pany appealed, and the Supreme Court
reversed the judgment. In its decis
ion, the Supreme Court held that the
Palace Car Coropapy fell quite short
of filling the character of an inukeeper,
furnishing only lodging to a certain
class, who have already paid fare and
purchased first class tickets entitling
them to ride to a certain place. The
company not only does not receive pay
nor undertake to care for any proper
ty or good* whatever, but notoriously
refuses to do so. There was no neces
sity here such ns existed in the case of
the keeper of the inn. The traveler
was not compelled to aecepl the addi
tional comfort ot the palace car. He
might have remained in the ordinary
car. There were safe and easy means
within his reach (in the baggage nnd
express cars) for carrying money and
baggage. Hence, there was no neces
sity for imposing the duty and liability
on the company, which did not, fur
ther, render a service made mandatory
bv law, as in the case of an inn-keeper.

Member of the legislature Ex-
February 25.—J. W.
born, a native of Chester county was
expelled from the Legislature for pro
mulgating a disbelief in God and other
heresies, by a voteof 46 to 31. Motion
introduced by colored members.
Ihe Wheeler Compromise Accepted
and Kellogg Recognised.—New Or
leans, February 25.—The Conservative
caucus accepts the Wheeler compro
mise, hy a vote of 34 yeas to 33 nays.
Washington, February 25.—Dis
patches from New Orleans report that
Kellogg made a speech to his faction,
quieting them.
A Flood at Knoxville.—Knoxville,
February 25.—The water is five feet
belmv the great flood of 1867. Many
houses and bridges have been destroyed.
The weather is still threatening. Tl»e
gas works are inundated and mills in
all directions are swept away.
The Gallant Democracy at
Washington.—It is conceded that
the Democrats gained a substantial
and great victory by allowing the
debate on the civil rights bill to close
Saturday afternoon, after which a
limited debate is to continue iudefin-
nitely on amendments.
The Republicans were determined
to force a vote on Thursday night.
Had this been done, it would have left
two additional days for Pinchback,
Louisiana ami the caucus force bill.
The Democrats are non confident of
defeating all other political legislation.
Knoxville, Feb. 26, 1875.—The
damage from the flood throughout East
Tennessee is very great. There were
uo mails yesterday. Probably a week
before trains will run over the Tennes
see, Georgia, and Virginia railroads.
Fire and Flood in Chatta
nooga.—Chattanooga, Feb. 27—The
Lookout Flouring Mills have been
burned. Loss, $50,000; insured for
$33,000.
Numbers of women and children
have refugee! from the flood. No lives
are lost. The fire is now in the Uuion
Depot, but subdued by the firemen in
.water up to their waists. This water
is running over Market street.
Tiie State Road.—Trains now
run from this city to Tunnel Hill.
Railroad men tell us that the entire
road will be cleared, and trains can go
through to Chattanooga by Tuesday
night.—Atlanta Herald, 28th Feb.
Killing at Dalton.—We learn
from passengers on the Suite Road
train last night, that Major Broyles
shot and killed a man named Davis in
Dalton yesterday evening. We could
not get any of the particulars.—At-
lanta Herald, 2St\ Feb.
ear A man named Muybridge, who
had killed the seducer of his wife, has
just been tried and acquitted iu San
Francisco. The ji ry scorned to take
advantage of the plea of “emotional
insanity," but boldly acquitted the
prisoner, on the ground that he served

A Tale of ’76. ‘
It was on a dark, dreary and por-
tentious day—1st of March, ’75—that
Solitary Granger" might have
been seen wending hia way rid the road
leading froth Athens to ihe “classic
shores” of Daniels ville. At first glance,
our hero might possibly be taken for
gay and festive” youth; but ou
closer inspection, the wrinkled brow
and furrowed cheek tells us that he is
fully of age and has “ seen service in
the past.” And it will also be per
ceived that he wears a determined look
—that he is intent upon some purpose
—intends to do, or at least try to do—
in fact, his every lineament and move
ment demonstrates that he means
“ Biz.”
Gentle reader—this “solitary horse
man” is our representative man—-the
“ Commercial Traveler” of the North-
East Georgian, Capt. J. E. Ritch;
and amongst other “ implements of
warfare” that are necessary to his well
being, he is always attended by a huge
pair of saddle-bags, (all Grangers car
ry them) ; these he expects to fill with
the spoils and trophies of his predatory
incursions into the interior—Bank-
bills, Checks, Gold and Silver and in
deed all “ Country Produce” that may
be offered in exchange for subscription
or other debts due the Georgian
Office. And now, kind reader, if you
have heen so fortunate as to have had
the jierusal of our paper for the past
year or two ami have not added your
quota to the material “ aid and com
fort” of the Office, whenever you sec
those saddle-bags approaching, please
bear in mind, that, in the language of
a “ Bard” or “ some other man" of the
olden time, "thou art the man”—yon,
not somebody else, is the one for whom
the Captain is searching.. Advance —
give the countersign—Pay Ur—and
may the year 1875 be one of uitparal
leled success to every reader of our pa
per, in spite of treasury irregularities,
failure of lien laws and the waiving of
horoes-.eads.
n@u Capt.jRitch will pay his’respects
to our patrons and friends iu Elbert,
Oglethorpe and adjoining counties at
their respective Courts.

New York Hotels.
New York is the city of magnificent
hotels. But few people know or un
derstand, however, the qualities neces
sary to the management of u first-class
hotel in New York. Great tact, rare
judgment, fine nerve, and what the
Rev. Robert Col Iyer culls “ trite grit,”
nil must be displayed in tin success
ful management. {Sometimes all these
fail, but perhaps the most notable in
stance ot immediate ‘ anil permanent
success is found in the steady and in
creasing popularity of the Grand Cen
tral Hotel, on Broadway, New York.
Combined with its management, to a
great degree the Grand Central owes
its fine success to the liberal plan of
adjusting its rales according to the lo
cation of the room occupied. This,
with a bill of tare hardly equaled by
any'-hotel table in New York, six meals
diem, is secured at the rate of from
*.0 to $4.00 per day, according to
choice in ^electing the floor desired.
NEW FIRM!
We have (on the first day of Janua
ry) associated ourselves together.in the
FURNITURE and COFFIN BU
SINESS, and ask for the new firm a
oontinuance of the liberal patronage so
generously bestowed on the old firm in
the past. We have a handsome new
Hearse, and are prepared to do
Undertaking in the best style and ot
the shortest notice.

The tieorgiu Legislature.
Atlanta, Feb. 25, 1875.
TUE STATE TREASURER.
In tbe Senate this morning, on a
motion to adopt the House resolution
instructing the finance Committee to
proceed with the investigation of the
Treasury, Mr. Kibbee said the facts
reported in the morning papers of an
interview with the Treasurer, were in
correct. The Committee bad done
full justice to the Treasurer. If the
Treasurer had complied with the law,
he would have been ready at any fiour
to make a full and satisfactory show
ing. Tiie Treasurer has been guilty
of carelessness, negligence, and loose
ness which rendered him unqualified
for the position of Treasurer, lie neg
lected to report to the Legislature the
temporary Joan> of one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars; had not sought
relief from loss the failure of John
King, in a proper manner; had re
ported a million dollars iu the Treasu
ry, when not a third of that amount is
tKere, and almost caused the Legisla
ture to make a sweeping reduction in
taxation on that account, which would
have left the State without the means
to meet its obligations. He made no
objection to the resolutions, which was
adopted.
TheCommiUee)has been investigating
all day and will continue to-night, and
probably report to-morrow. What
will be the action of the Legislature,
it is impossible to say. It still seems
resolved to adjust the matter before' coUonTvoi j'i jSi a
leaving. The Committee distinctly i 15 ,g
state they make no attack on the in- j & sWung, n at ns
tegrity ef the Treasurer, yet, some j 14
seem still to think that if there is no | rrmu ioai2%
default, it is unnecessary to remove • f£j£
him. B«i Ticking... iOaod

The Legislature has prolonged until
such time as it shall be necessaiy to
complete the business. The He
