Arrests.—Only three persons had been gotten hold
of np to 10 o’clock last night by the police. These
will perhaps serve as a nucleus aronnd which to rally a
powerful host for Dennis’ slaughtering on Monday
morning.
On Friday night a colored man died from the effects
of eating a quantity of ice. He had had measles, and
was just able to get about, and feeling unusually hot,
took home with him a lump of ice, and was dead in
two hours after eating of it.
Robbery.—The residence of Mary Lee, colored,
corner t of Grubb and Cone streets, was entered and
robbed on two nights of last week by burglars. One
of the burglars carried a lantern, while the other did
the thieving. A good policeman might atop these
rascals.
The class of people know as “drammera" or com*
msrcial travelers, are noproperly appreciated in
every community, and stiUesa, some times by their
employers. When it is tala into consideration that
this very set ef “beats” spd more money amongst
all classes, and are reaUjthe only motive power in
dull times, it is strange th. people have so little res
pect for them, and that th< are made the butt ef many
a joke to which they armot entitled. Our sympa
thies are with the averagelrummer. We know some
thing of what he endureiand what he has to under
go. Especially do we par out our hearts for him
during the duil eeasens. here are times when "bos
ses’* are cross and custoers slow, money is scarce
and trade is dull. All th< explanations and excuses
which can be given io ft a bad trip, appear to fall
short of appeasing the ;uidity of the employer.
At the present time xae is a little dull—in tact, a
little duller than aoy dmmer of the present day hae
experienced; and deep) their almost inexhaustible
resources and inventiol they are often compelled to
yield to the pressure d these stagnant times. This
class of our fellow cittens has our unqualified sym
pathies, and to show ur sincerity for them, and at
the same time a spe< of encouragement, we repro
duce a scene which occrred in a leading store of this
city a few days ago.
One of these travelii missionaries returned from a
trip for Thistle, Bro. . Co., and did not show a very
large exhibit of orders) balance the liberal expense

j after looking over his tarn, said:
I “Mr. Rataplan, I aiafraid you do not approach the

of Sellout, Alabama, id show me the way you intro

Accordingly Raiaph stepped out of the couuting

“That is my ntxe said Thistle, urbanely.
“ My name is KRalan, sir; I represent the house of

acter of Atlanta orchsnt, here rose, offered the
salesman a chair, c expressed his pleasure at seeing
him.
“I am stoppingvith Overcharge, at the Stickem
House, and have. fins unbroken lot of samples
which I would like) show you; thiuk we cau offer
you some special aiantages, etc.” And Rataplan de

“ Very well, veryell,* said Thistle; “I don't see

"Excuse me, 1. Tlistle,” said Rataplan, "I am

“Certainly,” » ThiHle, and picking up his bat,

The Street Committee of the City Council are wide
awake, and the longer they remain in their present
position the more good they accomplish. Yesterday
the very dangerous and ugly place at the northern
extremity of the Broad street bridge was securely
fenced up, and numerous old planks in the bridge
were replaced by new ones.
THE MAN WITH THE BLACK VALISE
must certainly have sent his baggage by Thursday’*
afternoon train to Macon. If he had been aboard
himself your correspondent might now be a mare
wreck.
ON THE HOT AFTERNOON OF THURSDAY,
as the unsuspecting passengers were being rapidly
carried from Bear Creek to Griffin, the shrill whistle
of the locomotive told na that danger was ahead, and
that valuable human life was in peril of being sacri
ficed to the grazing privileges of some wretched cow.
ON WE PLUNGED
into a herd of cattle, when the dull thud told us that
we had brushed the obstruction aside.
A MANGLED COW,
writhing on the side of the track, told the sad tale,
and we breathed freer. The man’s valise was not
through its work though, for we had not proceeded
far before we were again warned to be prepared for
accident. This time we were after horse flesh. Now, a
horse on the West End street railroad excites no alarm*
but to chase down a horse at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, on a fast passenger train, is no smiling matter-
THE HORSE WAS CAUGHT,
and thanks to a kind Providence was also gently laid
on the side of the tTAck, broken and bruised ; aud all
for grass.
THE SPECTRAL BULL.
It is a standing joke on the Macon and Wsgtern
Railroad that Conductor Croft sees, on bis night trips,
a phantom bull, standing on the track where he (Davy
Crolt) was so nicely brushed aside one night by said
bullock. “ Revenge ” has been his motto ever since,
and the engineer has standing orders to run over the
first bull that he can successfully. This last attempt
although a failure in gender, has greatly mitigated our
faithful conductor’s revengeful feelings. But cows
aside.
SHALL WE HAVE A STOCK LAW?
Or shall precious human life be daily endangered to
give roainirg cattle the privilege to grass on tho “right
of way” of onr railroads? The incidents above were
not all the alarms we had, for onr engineer was
screaming at cattle to the end of our journey. Yast
numbers of them are roaming up and down the Ha-
and Western Railroad, and if some day you are
notified of a “terrible accident” from this cause, you
need not be astonished, for it is a natural consequence
to railroad obstructions. Kap.
“ No, air, B not,” said Thistle.
“ Well, it’a-d lucky for you that you are not; for
I've had twovmmeri to one customer in my store
for the last t months, and if I could get hold of
of the blast fools that send ’em out here at this
time, I’m deed i! I wouldn’t boot him clean out of
the town of Boat.”
“That’ll i that’ll do, Mr. Rataplan,” said Thistle;
I have no dat you did the beat you could for the in
terest of tb<ouse. Trade is a little dull.”

leading phyeiciane of that city, that the Asiatic cholera

Stone Mountain on the Fourth.
Prize Shooting by the Cadets.
Early on the morning of the 4th instant, the Cadeta
and their friends were at the passenger depot ready to
proceed to the Mountain to enjoy the day. The train
was well filled, and after reaching their destination
the main object of their mission—prize shooting at
target—was commenced. Cadet Warlick won the first
prze, a splendid gun. for making the beat
shot, the distance being one hundred and twenty
yards. I ieutenant McWhorter won the badge for the
best shot among the officers. Cadet Dykemau won
the tin cup for the worse shot—great merriment.
Hon. Daniel Pittman won a silver cup for best shot
from the honorary members. The shooting took
place in the beautiful grounds attached to the King
House. The first prize was delivered by Charlie Col
lier in a neat and happy speech. The badge
was delivered by Captain W D Luckie in a handsome
speech. Colonel Bangh delivered the Silver Cup to
Judge Pittman in a very chaste and appropriate ad
dress, to which the Judge responded in his usual fe
licitous style. The dancing, which was indulged in to
a reasonable extent, was very enjoyable. Mr. White,
of the King House, did all he could to make the party
comfortable.
The excursionists returned to the city about eleven
o’clock F. M.
Though the attendance was very good, we appre
hend that on any other day than the fourth of July it
would have been much larger. All in all it was a very
pleasant affair, such as we are willing to see recur
frequently.

We are gratified to know that the organization of the
above association was completed on Friday evening at
the meeting of the members iu tho Central Presbyte (
rian Church. On assembling, prayer was offered by
Mr. Willie Haygood. The committee appointed at the
previous meeting to prepare and submit a Constitu
tion, By-Laws and rules of order for the association,
made their report which was adopted. The election
of permanent officers being next in order, was gone
into and resulted as follows: For President, Walter R.
Brown; first Vice President, W. A. Haygood; second
Vice-Pres dent, H. C. Ansley; third Vim-President,
W. B. Walker; Secretary, J. A. Pardue; Treasurer
John J. McDaniel.
A Board of Directors, consisting of tea members
from the different religious denominations represent
ed, was then selected, and consists of the following
gentlemen:
Baptist Church—Joseph M. Brown, J. C. Bridger.
Episcopal Church—C. E. McCaudless, F. E. Moses.
Presbyterian Church—J. C. Boyd, C. E. Eckford.
Christian Church—Albert Perdue, Geo. Mc-Crary.
Methodist Chnrch—C. R. Billbroe, Wm. Hoyle.
One-half of these are elected for a long and the
other half for a shorter term, from which it is evident
that the membership has a clear conception of busi
ness proceediggs, and that preparation is being made
for future effective work. A library of religious liter
ature consisting of books, periodicals, etc., is contem
plated, and will be a valuable acquisition, giving im
petus and increased facilities for moral and religious
education and training. About fifteen new members
were added at this meeting, which swells the number
to sixty. The next meeting will be held at Trinity
Church on Friday evening next.

Cholera—Llut* Dangeron*.
To thh Editors of thb Herald:
Are our physicians quite sure that it is healthy to
fill the town with lime? It may be said that the city
of Atlanta la now Maturated with lime. The phy
sicians call it a disinfectant.
What is the d ffereoce between this lime and the
limestone soil in its essential qualities? Now. if they
are the same, does it not seem that the same reason
that make the cholera visit limestone regions will
make it visit a city that abounds with lime?
I know this much about limestone regions—they are
the hottest of all. I do not know whether the in
creased beat has anything to do with the cholera or
not. It is a fact, though, in Atlanta, that coincident
with the saturation of the town with lime we have
now a heated term that is quite unusual. At least, so
it seems to me.
If there la anything iu this worthy of attention, I
; would like to hear from the “knowing ones” on the
J subject. iNqUlKER.

which at first sent the sand whirling in tho eyes,
mouths, ears and noses of every poor pedestrian who
chanced to be upon the streets, but soon sent r
down in copious showers.
We noticed part of a store front blown away
Chapel street, and parts of shade trees lying around
loose.
We heard that a negro shanty on Sumer Hill, or
some’other hill,was blown sway, and don’t know how
much more damage wae done.
Hope it blew the cholera off the Continent.

Encouraging.—We converged yesterday with a gen
tleman who has within the past ten days traveled
tensively in the counties of Coweta, Carroll, Troup.
Heard and Meriwether, and he report# the finest oats
crops ever harvested, while the corn oaunot be ex
celled. The cry about grass aud half crops of cotton
is all owing to the fact that the farmers in that section
are imitating their brethren all over the country, and
have planted about twice as much cotton as they can
tend, and of course it is in the grass, and they won’t
make half crops. This is the secret of “half crops.”
Card of Tmanes.—The undersigned respectfully
tenders sincere thanks to the gentlemen who assisted
