From the current issue of the Blake* y ly Reporter we take the following: “The scene of the wreck at the Chattahoochee river bridge on the Central of Georgia railway was visited last week by thousands of people, all anxious to watch the work of raising the wrecked locomotive from its watery bed and all praying that the bodies of the unfortunate victims might be found. "The first wish was gratified, but the latter hope was doomed to disap pointment, for the treacherous Chat tahoochee, true to its record, failed to give up its dead. "When tho engine plunged off the end of the trestle it went head down and struck on the marl bank, then turned a complete somersault into the swift current. What became of the •men in the cab can never be definitely I known, and conjecture Is useless. Certain it is that they were not found when the engine was hoisted up on Friday and placed on a barge. And hope died in the hearts of waiting relatives and friends as piece after piece of the wreckage was located by tho diver and lifted out by the power ful cranes. This part of the work was Unuhed Sunday afternoon when the ;ender was brought up in sections. "Men in boats have constantly pa roled the river for miles down the jtream since the accident occurred, >ut at the time this was written no race of the bodies bad been found. It s a remarkable fact that not more han 60 per cent, of the persons Irowned in the Chattahoochee river lave been recovered. It 1* considered >y boatmen to be one of the most de- jeptlve and treachers streams in the South. "The main channel at this point Is ►etween the largo central cylinder on 'rhlch the draw section of the bridge i ests and the Alabama shore, but 1 rhen the river i9 high, as it was at <his time, a powerful current sets In 1 etween the cylinder and the Georgia 1>ank, and It was into this rushing 1 orrent that the engine and its occu pants were hurled. Whether the men Remained iq the cab until it struck the t and went to the bottom, or r they Jumped or were thrown can only be imagined. Tho <hances are that the bodies are far ^ iwn the stream, and strict watches j 1 111 be kept by the boatmen and spe- C|il patrols.” OATH A PRESIDENT TAKE8. The- Mam(#r irT’whiir the Oath I* Given at Inauguration*. The oath of office taken by the in coming president qf the United States is the shortest and simplest required of any ruler on earth. It is prescribed by the Constitution, and is as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and, to tho beat of my ability, protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States." This oath is slowly repeated by the president-elect after the chief Justice of the supreme court, In the presence of the public, upon a platform erected In front of the main door on the east ern side of the capltol. While the oath is being repeated tho president elect and the chief justice face each other and hold with their right hands, between them, a Bible, furnished by some person interested or especially procured for the occasion, which be comes the property of the president after it has been appropriately in scribed and sealed by the chief clerk of the supreme court. President Cleveland, at both inaugurations, took the oath upon a little red pocket Bi ble which was given him by his moth er when he loft home as a boy. Pres ident Harrison used a Bible that had been presented to him by a Sunday school class In Indianapolis. At the close of the oath the pres ident-elect bows his head and kisses the open page of the book, and it has been customary for him or for his wife or a friend to select some appro priate passage at which the book shall bo opened and the verse upon which he shall press his lips. Some times, when those interested forget or neglect to choose a passage, the Bible is opened at random, but the clerk of the supreme court is always careful to note and mark the exact place where the lips touched the page. The verse that Gen. Grant kissed at hia second inauguration Is found in the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, and reads as follows: "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, tho spirit of coun sel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord, and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord.” It is understood that Rev. Dr. New man, at that time pastor of the Metro politan Methodist church of Washing ton, furnished tho Bible for that oc casion and marked the passage that he wanted Gen. Grant to kiss.—Chi cago Record-Herald. COJ )^JL£ NOT* PERMIT BAIL. Greene and'Gaynor Will Have to Re main in Jail. Montreal, March 7.—Messrs. Gay- nor and Greene, who are wanted by the United States government on charges of fraud in connection with the Savannah river improvements, were before Magistrate La Fontaine the extradition commissioner, today, the question of ball being discussed Mr. Taschereau, counsel for tho ac cused men, filed an objection to the Jurisdiction of the magistrate. The latter then agreed to a postponement of tha cese until March 14, in order to get witnesses here. After hearing arguments this after noon, Extradition Commissioner La Fontaine announced that In his opin ion tho Dominion statutes did not grant him power to accept ball from the prisoners. Judge La Fontaine refused to allow the prisoners to be given Into the care of Detective Carpenter, as suggested by Attorney Taschereau. Governor Valee, of the Jail, was In the court room, and Gaynor and Greene were turned over to him, and they wero driven to prison. The case was remanded until March 14 to allow the prosecution to prepare its case. It is not unlikely that an application will be made to a superior court judge for a ruling on Judge La Fontaine’s decision that he has not the power to accept bail. Fit and Style. THE LADIE8 favor painting their churches, and therefore we urge ev ery minister to remember we give a liberal quantity of tho Longman Martlnes Paint toward the painting, Wears and covers like gold. Don’t pay |1.50 a gallon for Lin seed Oil (wortu 50 cents) which you do when you buy other paints In s can with a paint label on It. 8 & 6 make 14, therefore when you wont fourteen gallons of pslut, buy only eight of L. & M, and mix six gallons of pure Linseed Oil with it, and thus get paint at loss thsn 81.20 per gallon. Many houses are well painted with four gallons of L. & M. and three gallons of Linseed Oil, mixed there with. These celebrated Paints are sold by B. P. Whittington. Sir Clinton Dawkins, tho head of the London branch of J. P. Morgan & Co., receives an annual salary of 2250,000. In addition ho realizes a certain percentage of tho profits of the Arm, which during somo years havo amounted to a larger sum than his guaranteed salary. There are some things which can’t be improved. One of these things is the “Queen Quality” Shoe for women. You can make it more elab< irate, you can decorate it, embellish it, use costly materials and ali that. But for $100 a pair ^ ; ou Cannot Makea Better Shoe 1 I Than “Queen Quality,” having regard solely to the two great essentials of FIT and STYLE. This means that mechanically it is perfect. As for its appearance, the fact that one hundred thousand women choose it instantly above all other shoes would 9eem to indicate that it is attractive. Why don’t you go so far as to try on a pair the next time you go to the store. It costs nothing to see them fit your foot Boots $3.00. Oxfords $2.50. Special Styles 50-cents extra.
