PATH OF A YOtJNO FRENCHMAN
Astounding Revelation, of a crim. in a
Family— Murders and Suicides.
A recent dispatch from Dayton
Ohio, says: One of the most re
markable in dii idual records of crime
over brought to light in this State
was made known here to-day l>y the
filicide of Charles Bieler, a French
man, who has been In this country
but a few months. He came here
in search of his fattier, who left
France a number of years -ago. He
tracked him to Dayton, hut was un
able te learn of his whereabouts
from this point. The young man
was intelligent person, of a verjy
sensitive nature, which probably
aeeounts for the fact that persons
who knew what had become of his
father did not toil him. The father
was arrested here two year* ago,
and sentenced to the penitentiary
where lie committed suicide. Charles
the son, after Wandering abont the
city, was arrested and sent to jail for
safe keeping, hi# action indicating
that lie was partially insane. Three
days afterwards ho attempted aui
cide, saying none of his family could
survive priaon life. The sheriff talk
ed to him of Ihe heinousness ol the
crime lie had conletnplatcd,aiid.U was
believed ilint ho had given up the
idea of suicide, but this morning he
deliberately hung himself.
It has boon learned that bosidos
himself and father, his grandfather
also committed suicide In prison, in
Marseilles, France, where he was im
prisoned for murder. To-night
sheriff Weis lias made public the
fact tiiat through the son, Chariot, he
Inis learned that Dr.Bieier, hi# lather,
the man who committed suicide in
the Ohio penitentiary, bad murdered
Ills wife in Switzerland uml was
sentenced to for life, but had kilted
two guard* and escaped to France,
where lie enlisted In tho army. 11*
was scut to Algiers, and there, in a
quarrel, killed an officer, lie again
escaped coming to this country. At
Cincinnati he married a well-known
lady named Lewis, with whom lie
he came to tliis city. She died here
under suspicious circumstances, and
it has been the belief of many that
lie murdered hur; hut before any
case could tie established against
him ho was arrested, tried and con
victed of robbery. For this crime
lie was sent to the penitentiary, where
lie hung himself, a# his son did here

THi; I'IIOIDKST* MKT HOD.
President Cleveland is apt much of
a respecter of person* when he is ap
plying business method*. Day by
day be is making himself tinder
ffiood and if there ire still doubter*
that he i* really the head of the ad
ministration the number is destined
to be very small in a abort time. Ap
pointment* have been made as sug
gested by heads of departments—one
department In particular—with wb clt
tlie President is not satisfied and
which he would make again, alter
havingcome to know better abont
the appointees. A great business
man aud a man of extraordinary ac
curacy as well as method, lie makes
few mistakes and is not tolerant of
them in others. His first step was to
commit to each department wliat be
longed to it, at tlie same lime laying
down tlie rule by which all should be
governed. His own example would
be a clear Illustration of the rule.
There have been divergence# and
some irration consequently, but this
ouly Insures the keeping of tlie step
better hereafter.
Midway Cleveland's first month the
ipicstiou was: IVill he weakeu or
hold his grip ? Apparentlv the ques
tion has already been aswered. He
holds his grip, and what is better it is
being so understood. And wlut is
bollsr it is being so understood. And
what it better stiUJie holds it and at
the same time give* the least possible
offense. He is winning bis way with
the people. A strong man, standing
tlrm, says lUfle ami letting etch
action speak foV him and itself, has
immensely the advantage over all
camel’s. There waafar 1 * rime a good
dual of loud talk f consequences aud
there is still some of it, bnt it is con
stantly growing less. What loud
talk there was about Jackson when
lie broke oyer tbe old lines and ap
plied t administration the methods
which made him famous! The gen
eral souse recognizes that Cleveland
means to l* right and is succeeding
well. Ills saying so. Kickers have
• poor chance always against inlelli
geat public opinion. It is the highest
court in the land and it is there where
Cleveland takes all his cases directly.
There are ten thousand things he is
doing, rather there are ten thousand
tilings he is not doing, for which po
liticians don’t like him; but they are
so few, compared with the approving
ntUlioos. that the President is not
greatly disturbed ami will keep on in
spite of lamentations here or else
where.
CONCERNING CANCERS.
Some years ago Dr. A. B. Gardner
.wrote die following Ibr Frank Les
lie's Illustrated New*: “Tlie origin
■of cancer may be looked for in men
tal disquietude and in that worry and
fret of life under which o many
strive:* * * It seizes those whom mis
fortune lias affected and who have
come down from ease to reverses. I
trio not mean waut of food, but inabil
ity to maintain old position, where
tlirre arc striving* and vatu regrets
and heart-burnings, that sorrow of the
heart which comes from lo.s of wife
children or husband, or what i# far
worse, shame at their unwortbtness
Drain. These prey upon the imagi
nation, destroy the appetite for food,
drive away health and sleep,weary the
brain aud uervous centers o 4 tile and
poison (lie bloOd. To them the sun
ha* uo warmth, food no sweetness or
taste or nourishment, and life no joy.
Cap •-•or comes to visit these sufferers
and soon brings an end to their
wuos. It lias not needed He horrors
to wean one thus suffering from life
but it make* death indeed welcome"
Mrs. F.-ank Leslie called the atten
tion of a newspaper man to this ar
ticle the other day and remarked
that ten years after it was wntifii
her husband died of cancer. Mr
Leslie was amanof strong physique
His health was phenomenal until
business reverses came. Otto morn
iug five weeks before hi* death he
complained of a swelling on hi*
throat. A hard lump had marie its
appearance but was supposed to be a
glad hardened and enlarged by cold
He had his collar let out and contin
ued to attend to business as usual.
Olio day he had the physicians make
an examination. They told him
nothing but one of them sent tor Mrs.
Lea Isc and told her that tier hus
band's disease was of a cancerous na
ture and tltal lie would die in per hap*
ihrce weeks. At the end of tlie iats
Homed period Mr. Leslie died.
An OlTeiidin* Nwnrrow rmhM
A low hanging limb of a Broadway
elm was yesterday ofternoon the scene
of one (if those violent disturbance*
so common to sparrow society. Up
ward of a dozen of the highly excita
ble and quarrelsome little pest# con
stituted a vigilance wnimiuee silting
in judgment concerning **• roi *‘
deeds of a certalti handsome cock
*par’row who in some way had incur
red tl.eir so rent displeasure and in
dignation Tho chief malefactor bore
w tli unruffled dignity the and loudbit-
U r denum Islion of hi* behavior, until
debate gave way to acton, and under
com hi nod attack* of angry lxaka and
.laws he wus reduced to a most wrr
plight. The onslaught culminated
when one of the sparrows, burying
hia beak in the feathers in close
proximoly to the offender - # eye, held
trim sllctuly suspended from the limb
for a few seconds, when bo wae
dropped fluttering upon the ground.
Justice haring now been satisfactorily
meted out. the assemblage gleefully
dispersed, teaviug the crest-fallen vie
ihn to meditate upon his misdeeds
and their *ad consequence*.—Sarato

An O.tricl, With Wooden l.r*.
Some lime ago the tore and ludi
crous sight of an oslrich wiih a wood
en leg might have been seen at the os
trich farm. The ostriches first
hatched were dificient in b.me struc
ture, a fact which is attributed to tbe
dificiencv ot t certain element in the
food of the parent birds —a dilu iency
which lias now been supplied. The
bones of the leg in those young chicks
were very soft aud breakable, and
much of the mortality among them
was due to broken legs. As an ex
pur! meui.Super, ntendent Sketchlev —
who is an old M. D— amputated the
leg- of ouo of the birds which had
broken it accidently below the knee
aud strapped on a wooden leg, itnon
which the bird strutted around for
sometime. Those have seen the mi
gaitily and mincing gait of the ostrich
when equipped with natural legs can
intagiac what a peculiar step one of
them would hare with an artificial
limb. Unfortunately, the bird thns
singularly equipped broke his leg
above the knee and died.—From the
Anaheim (Cal.) Gazette.
One of the otdeat citizen- of Cobb
county is Joint Hodge, wholivea near
Black Jack mountain. He is 95
y?ari old is active, hearty and
health). f m
An altercation occurred a few days
ago between John Shackelford and
Lueius McGhee, colored, a few miles
bdevr Griffin. The nego threw two
rocks a: Shackelford, when Shackel
ford drew a pistol and shot McGhee.
Thursday McGhee died. The eor
ouer held an an iuquest and the jury
returned a verdict of justifiable Itom
ioide.
