Committee to announce that there
at the R. E. Lee Engine House,
next, at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of
First Ward Democratic Club, by the
“The Jink Mn,”
“MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTIINO.”
To the Editors of the Hexald:
An article appeared in the Hexald yesterday headed
as above. The Herald reporter is fortuaato to his
■election of a heading, for he is •• qpch ado
about nothing” in his attack on our worthy City Conn
ell in regard to their action concerning junk men.
The City Council, upon the unanimous recommend
ation of the Board of Health, amended the 345th sec
tion of the code, which eays: •• Ho person shall keep a
butcher pen or slaughter bouse within three hundred
yards of the dwelling or business house of any eitisen
of said city,” by inserting after slaughter home, “junk
houses, dealing in bones, hides and filthy rags.”
All they are required to do la to keep these
offensive articles three hundred yards from
the honse of any citizen (not ont of the
city, as your reporter has it). Which they
could do by procuring a small bouse
for these articles.
Does the Hexald mean to advertise Messrs. Kiser,
Wyly, Moore & Marsh and the Rolling Mill, as dealers
in bones, hides, and filthy rags ? Let the junk men
(if within three hundred yards of s residence) keep of
fensive matter elsewhere, and confine themselves to
trading in articles other than those mentioned in the
ordinance, and the City Council and dtlzens will give
them every encouragement possible. Other people have
rights. They don’t wish to be stunk ont of town. No
one objects to them dealing in scrap iron, and the
thousand other articles they bny for about nothing
and aell for millions, and the articles bought from the
houses you mention, but it is well known that little
negroes are gathering daily from the gutters aud aew-
all the filthy rags that can be found, aud persons
are bringing them filthy hides, taken from the car
casses of their stocks, whether slaughtered or dying
from disease. The swarms of green flies and
maggots infesting these hides, and the aick-
ning stench from them, breediug disease, should,
without action of Council, influence men of decency
and respect for themselves and neighbors, to remove
them before complaint is made by their “dainty
nose” noighbors, to whom carton ie offensive. One
of these junk men, on the day after Council amended
the ordinance as above, moved an old privy a dis
tance of a hand red feet from the rear of bis lot. with
in ten feet of the window of his neighbor’s bed
chamber, and twenty-five feet of the main street.
This is one of his ideas ot conducting a juuk shop.
All of this “machinery and millions of money” em
ployed by these men are not employed in filthy rags
and hides What has machinery to do with the offen
sive matter mentioned in the Code I Is it possible
that junk men cannot deal in scrap iron, clean rags,
paper, bags, and a thousand other articles which are
not objectionable, unless they can keep also a few
wagon loads of stinking hides under their noses ?
The people folly sustain the council In this matter.
Your reporter aaya “after going through the entire es
tablishment, we unhesitatingly state that we visited
many much more offensive places is town.” Is that a
reason why this should exist because others do?
I would ask him if he went before or after the Coun
cil and Board of Health took the matter In band? If
he went before to Elsas, Msy Si Co., he could have seen
hundreds of skins spread all over their lot, fences
and top of their houses, covered by swarms of green
flies and maggots. This cau be substantiated by
bers of witnesses. If he went since the action of the
Council, he discovered that they had taken dowu their
hides and covered them np literally in salt and lime,
“perfumed the bides” and abated the nuisance as far
aa they could in this way, so as to ahow you reported
something that did not s nell worse than the ”con
mon sewerage coloso nuissuce.”

STEPHENS ADDBESS.
On yesterday the Hon. Alexander H. Stephen* paid
a brief viait to the Orphans' School and deliv
short address to the pupils. On his entrance into the
school-room, he was introduced to the teachers and
the scholars by Colonel James D. Waddell. After con
versing for a short time with ths preceptors, he arose
and addressed ths children in substance as follows
“Ladies and Oentlemen:—I did not visit yon
this morning with the intention of making
speech. The deep interest I feel in this school
and in all similar institutions prompted the visit,
came merely for the purpoao of being with you
children for a abort while; but since your teacher
has to kindly insisted on making yon a shoit talk, I
submit. He then spoke of the gratification it afforded
him to visit the school, and to be with the children.
He said that his acquaintance with the institution,
and all the advices he had received therefrom,
led him to believe that ths school waa in a prosperous
condition, yet he expressed some surprise and much
gratification at the manner in wbieh it was thriving,
and at the number of the scholars; that their pros
perous condition bad outstripped hia moat sanguine
expectations. One of the reasons why he manifested
such a deep interest in the school was, that ths hopes
of the country wa#, in a great measure, in the hands
of her youth. Each of you have a mission to per
form. What that mission is, H is bast for you to de
termlne for yonraalf. He spoke of the possibility
of some of the boys now listening being the future
Solon of the land. He then spoke of woman's ieflu
ence, of the power she might wield by a proper use
of the pen, Ac. He gave George Elliott aa an instance
af a woman’s success in her peculiar sphere. He said
that the Georgia Female College waa the first institu
tion In the world that waa empowered to confer di
plomas and degrees to ladies. Hs spoke of the origin
of the school; the time when that grand scheme of
educating the pocr was devisod. How other towns
had adoi ted similar meant of educating their poor.
He wanted to impress on them the importance of cul
tivating themselves; “that knowledge was power.
How a cultivated man made even the elements subser
vient to his wishes; that the incentive to
in prosecuting their studies should 1

that would satisfy a mother’s ambition; that It was
their duty to cheer their parents to imitate the virtues
of their fathara; quoted from Pope, and spoke of the
importance of “acting well your part, in that the
power lies.” He told the girls to emulate the example
of their mothers; said that no people had more to be
proud of than we of our Georgia women. He dosed
by again expressing the gratification that the visit
afforded, and impressing on them ths importance of
ao conducting themselves as to be the pride of their
parents. He then bid the teachers and pupils good

FlOHT AT THE H. I. X.—A BOW AMONG THE DOTS.
Oo yesterday afternoon, about 2 o’clock, a difficulty
occurla front of the H. I. Kimball House between
Mr. Richard Clerk, of this city, and Mr. Thornton,
who la attending Moore’s Business College, of this
place. The fight resulted in Mr. Thornton receiving
a very painful but not dangerous wound in the right
arm. The quarrel originally commenced between Mr
Charles Pemberton and Mr. Thornton. The difference
arose from a bet made on a game of billiards. Pem
berton claimed, after the bet was lost, that it wss
made in jest, and Mr. Thornton insisted on the pay
ment of 1L A dispute waa entered into, and a
god deal of abusive language used, es
pecially by Mr. T. The belligerents armed them
selves with billiard balls, cues, and other such weap
ons as waa convenient. Had it not been for the ef
forts of Mr. Connor, the proprietor of the saloon, to
keep the peace, a fight would have certainly ei.sued
there, Mr. P. then left tho billiard room in the

Here the accounts differ a little, but the following
details are corroborated by the majority of tho narra

proached Pemberton, who was standing in the vicini
ty ot the cigar stand, renewed the dispute, which waa
entered into by the whole party. Clarke warned Thorn*
ton to be careful about

then asked Clarke what he bad to do with it, and fol
lowed the Inquiry with a gross insult. The conse
quence was that the wo-da were scarcely uttered before
they hitched. As they came together Clarke inflicted
» very ugly wound with a pocket knife, catting a deep
gash through the ranic'.eof Thornton's arm, just above
the elbow.
The pertiee were then separated. Mr. T. whose
arm waa bleediog profusely, was carried into PnU-

Aldenuau Rice gave hia reasons for favoring this
payment, and moved that it be paid. This motiou was
seconded by Alderman Mecsslin.
Alderman Boring gave his reasons for favoring the
payment.
Most of the members who spoke on the subject
seemed to think the city had backed down from tho
original contract with Alderman Sparks, and was now
seeking to bold him to his part of the contract, the
city having made a better arrangement than the origi
nal contract with Sparks.
Alderman Young wanted to know if Aldennan
Sparks’ property was damaged one nickel by opening

Alderman Boring replied that sworn assessors had
assessed the damages done Alderman Sparks' prop
erty, $425.

ora to assess damages on Alderman Sparks' property,
and therefore the award was not binding.

Alderman Mecasllu stated his reasons for favoring

ed that it be referred to a board of asscBsors to bd ap
pointed by this body.
Alderman Dodd thought the matter ought to be set

Death of ait Kitsmable l.utly.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Larkin H. Davis died
at 9:45 last night. Her death was caused by internal
Inflammation. On Sunday night last her sou, fourteen,
months old, died, and it is thought that grief for thia
loss aggravated the attack on the mother. 8he had
only been sick since Wednesday night. Mrs. Davi«
a daughter cf C. C. Morrii, E*q., of
Cobb county, a sister of Aldermen J. F.
Morris and of Mrs. J. A. DeFoor and a most es
timable lady. Hie Raves an excellent husband and
two little gill*, ages re-pectively five and three years,
to mourn their irreparable loss, besides a large circle
of friends, who will greatly deplore the loss of their
friend and neighbor. We are not informed as to
when the funeral will take place, as the aproval of her
parents is desired before the bnrial. She was attended
through her illness by Drs. W. F. Westmoreland, W
L. Steeling and 8. F. Balter.
Thanks! Thanks!—The JaJies under whose super

ticularly do they desire to compliment Mr. Packer ior
the earnestness which lie manifested in applying his
valved "Grenadier” to tho evening’s amusement.]

itously tendered. To the Concordia Association, for
courtesies. To the Constitution, for many favors.
To the Hi'.bai.d, for their kindness, and to the public

A GooM Mau Dane.
It la with feelings of regret we chronicle the death
ot Mr. W. R. Venable, so well known in this commu
nity, which sad event occurred at 10)4 o’clock last
night. He was a man of apparent vigorous con
stitution, but the attacK upon his ayatem was
violent, and did its fearful work rapidly.
For many years the deceased has occupied
public position in th# connty, was for a long period
clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton county, and
perhaps as well and as favorably known as any citizen
of Atlanta. But he la snatched from our midst, and
we can only mourn hia loss and condole with his
family, relatives and nunurona friends. He left a
wife and several children, and these arc supplied with
a comfortable home.
We learn that an examination will be made by phys
icians to ascertain from what disease he died. The
funeral nottc* w*H be found in another column.

LOCAL NOTICES.
Word to Working People ol both Sexes.
Mechanics, artisans, factory hands, ami peo
ple who labor for a living, find it very difficult
if not impossible to keep their hands free from
stain. Hand Sapolio will not ouly remove
every particle of stain, and what is cull
ed “grained in dirt,” but it will also keep the
skin soft and pliable, rendering the muscular
action as quick and easy as is the case with
those who do not perform hand labor. It is
only 10 and 15 cents a cake, according to size.
Every mechanic should use it constantly, in
