2 •ring all legislation relative to the estali lisbmeut of a railroad commission and this •ommittie has invited prominent railroad men frcm different sections of the State to appear before it next Thursday to make suggretions looking to the protection of the interests of the railroads, while others will represent the people and demand that nec essary checks lie placed on the corixirations to prevent discriminations and unjust charges for tariffs. The committee is composed of men who represent every portion of the State and nearly every interest of the conflicting sec tions. so it is thought as the railroads them srlve. favor a commission,a bill will lie prm dueed that will operate to protect the public from oppression, and at the same time not prejudice the rights and privileges of the corporations so as to deter the investment of foreign capital in the construction of new roads aDd in the improvement of those now in operation in the State. APPOINTMENTS DEFERRED. Gov. Perry has deferred the appointment of Judge* of the several Circuit Courts and District Attorneys until the completion of the spring circuits throughout the States Some have alleged that tlu'se appointments have not been made because if the close Senatorial contest, which might have been affected adversely to Gov., Perry had he made appointment, which would necessarily involve many disappointments that could certainly do his cause no material good. But those who know the Governor best say he has not acted because he desired to con aider well the merits of the various appli cants and give to each circuit the best pos sible appointment. NO OCCASION FOR HASTE. There has really been no occasion for speedy action in the matter, and if suitable selections are made the seeming delay will m ove to be a real lienetit to the people. There is no lack of applicants, and all are first-class men, any one of whom would make a good J udge. In the Seventh circuit there are three ap- ! plicants for the judgeship, J. D. Broome, of j PeLand, and Messrs. Beggs and Hammond, ! of Orlando. They are all good men. and their so-called claims are being urged with j untiring zeal. There seems to be no oppo ■jfeln to the reappointment of Judge T>. S. to the Tallahassee circuit, and K" Vaun, of Madison, appear-, to be the in the Third circuit. Judge Mc- will probably be reappointed in the ■nt circuit. f AT A STANDSTILL. really important legislation lias been liecauso of the Senatorial excite- Htt. but the passage of Senator Mallory’s the granting of free passes Of nominating conventions show's how the members feel about the abuse of complimentary passes. The com mittee to investigate the celebrated section of the new constitution which was left out of that instrument has entirely re lieved from all blame the persons against whom charges have boon made,and attribute tlie absence of the section to accident alone. The section related to public printing and required the work to be given to the lowest bidder, and it was charged that it was de stroyed by those interested in retaining the printing of the State. The report of the investigating committee, however, com pletely exonerates the State Printer and all others connected with the matter. The hill relative to future State printing, most likely to pass, gives the work to the lowest bidder, who shall be under the supervision of the administration officers of the Ex ecutive Department.

Atlanta, Ga. , April 18. —The following Supreme Court decisions were handed down to-day: S. T. Coleman & Cos. vs. Levi Jenkins; from Baldwin. Affirmed. T. J. and H. A. West vs. A. A. Randall; from Greene. Affirmed. L. A. Trice, administratrix, vs. 11. M. Rose; from Baldwin. Reversed. An effort is being made to secure the release on a writ of habeas corpus of George Daniels, a convict serving out a tea years’ sentence for burglary. It is claimed that Daniels was tried before Judge It. H. Clarl*. of the Stone Mountain circuit, Jan. do. 188 H, when the Judge of this circuit was holding court in the Superior Court room, and under the law should have tried this ease. It is contended that under the low the Judge of the Stone Mountain circuit could not try a felony in this comity. This question went to the Supreme Court before from Fulton county and this point was sustained. The act lias since been amended, hut it will lit* held that this coil* iction was prior to the amendment. Judge Marshall J. Clarke granted a writ to-day, which has l*een served on Principal Keeper Towers, directing him to produce the convict with cause of detention till April 21. PATRIOTISM TOO EXPENSIVE. The special committee appointed by the last Legislature to investigate the peniten tiary met here to-day. Messrs. Huff. Ham and Harrison were present, and Messrs. Schofield and Terrel! absen ;. No provision was made for the expenses of the commit tee, and they are expected to draw on their own purses. The railroads have called in legislative passes, and as the committee would have to travel about 2,000 miles to visit the sixteen camps they found them selves embarrassed to such an extent that they adjourned to June 20, which means that the investigation will not be made before the summer session. John L. Crane, a Just ice of the Peace of Lumpkin county, was brought here to-day on a bench warrant by Deputy Marshal Harbison, charged with numerous viola tions of the revenue laws. As Crane has already forfeited two bonds for his apjiear anoe. he was lodged in Fulton county jail without bail. The United States Circuit and District Courts convened to-day. A small cyclone occurred at Kingston this morning. It blew down several houses and unroofed the depot. GEORGIA’S CENTRAL CITY. Forger Micklejohn Goes to Jail in De fault of Ball.

Darien, Ga., \pril 18, —Two prisoners, William Pinkneyaud Bryan Martin,confined in jail here on a charge of cattle stealing, who, as reported to the News about three weeks ago, almost succeeded iu cutting their way out of jail, have nt last escaped. The tools used in effecting their escape were found in the cell and must have lieen sup plied from the 'ml side. Mr. C. 11. Hopkins, Jr., had in his charge both city and county prisoners until a couple of months ago, when the custodianship of the county pris oners were transferred to other hands. For a period of eleven years not a single prisoner escaped from Mr. Hopkins. He justly feels proud of his record a<vi jailor, and while cherish ing the friendliest of feelings for his suc cessor, he is keenly alive to the fact that these escajies go to show an iimppreviative public how faithfully and vigilantly he for such a number of yours Ims discharged his duties. N'uval stores workers and cross-tie cutters are making things lively iu the wix>ds, while almost every saw mill around here is naming on full time. Work on the Darien Short Line was commened to-day, and ' the average citizen looks forward"cheer fully to the. time when it will lie completed. SHOT IN SPORT.

April 17. —If tlie readers of tie- Morning News 'think South Florida is resting and asleep after the tourist season, a visit to this charming and thriving place I will soon undeceive them. There is an air I of hustle and business activity seen about tlie streets that is convincing, and the new buildings going up show that their owners have an abiding faitli in the steady growth of the Gate City. Mr. Rand, the new General Manager of the Florida Land and Colonization Com pany. the corporation owning the greater jiortion of the town (and thus practically governing its growth by their progressive or unprogressive methods), is the “rigitt man in the right place.” A large portion of the comnauy’s lands west and south of the city have been cleared,- graded and drained, and the result seen is the greatly increased sales of lots, and, what is better, their improvement. For the last month over sixty laborers have been employed in tlie improvements, and fully ;!50 new lots placed on the market. The waterworks are to be enlarged at once by a larger engine, more powerful pumps and larger mains. Thirty hydrants are* mav in for fire purposes, and it is thought the in surance people will appreciate this step and lower their rates. In the last thirty days, from the main the company alone, over $20,000 worth of lots have been sold, 75 per cent, of which will lie improved the coming 1 year. This shows certainly a good business activity, and one likelv to last. Resides these sales over SOO,OOO has changed hands in outside real estate sales in the same period, a large portion of this lieing foreign capital. Mr. Hand informed the News representative that the advertisement in the Daily Savannah Morning News brought them more inquiries and from a larger extent of territory than any medium they hail ever used. Letters had been re ceived from .Savannah, Atlanta, New York, various cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, etc., and even from Moub, Utah. This shows plainly the great interest that is felt in Florida by our Northern and Western friends. One idea of Mr. Rand's is unique, and certainly is a good one. A dozen circulars or more describing Sanford and its attractions arc packed in every lx>x of oranges sent from there, and in this way a wide field is covered, as those circulars reach many out-of-way districts that could not be covered in any other way. The new brick buildings add greatly to the town's appearance. Judge elbourne’s fine block, costing some s.‘>o,ooo, is rapidly approaching completion and will be a credit to him and the place. Mr. DeForest’s handsome block is finished and occupied. Mcßae & Whituer, grocers, Occupy one of the well-lighted and roomy stores, and President Ingraham, of the South Florida railroad, has his office on the second floor, occupying two large and pleasant rooms. Mr. Hotchkiss’ corner block is progressing finely and will be a handsome and attrac tive structure. Three new brick buildings are in contem plation, and in all probability will be started on soon. Altogether, Sanford’s present pro gress is extremely gratifying to her pro gressive citizens, and certainly the future prospects arc good. A national bank—the First National of Sanford—is being organized, and will soon I* in o'“>rat*o*. It has a good business field here. The officers are not publicly named yet. The bank's capital will be $50,000. Mayor Lilienthal, the new Mayor, is fully illustrating the old adage, “Anew broom sweeps clean,” and the delinquents brought before him have no chance to escape. At a recent levee of his honor's §137 was “contributed” to the city’s treasury and nearly every day some “spare cash” is thus gathered in. The streets nave been cleaned up. the roadway rounded up for better drainage, sidewalks repaired and proiierty owners warned to keep their sidewalks in good repair, much to (he increased comfort of pedestrians. The Mayor has a pleasant office near the wharf, fitted up with station ery, etc., ami agreeably surprised Cant, WTieeler. the stirring town marshal, the other day by installing him iu a neat and cosv office unjoining his own. The .South Florida railroad offices will be located in the upper stories of Judge Wel ls .urne's new block as soon as it is com pleted. STRIKE OF THE MOLDERS.

Interesting Views Expressed by Sena tor Vest. From Washington letter to Sew York Times. As the time approaches when Democrats are expected to fall into line as friends or opponents of the administ ration, some of the far-sighted ones who see that the Democratic party can find no excuse for refusing to re nominate Mr. Cleveland that would not lie a good reason for refusing to elect any Dem ocrat, are dropping into place in the ranks and marching to local music of their own making. Senator Vest, who litis been re p utedly referred to as one of the anti-ad ministration Democrat* in the Senate, lias uttered hi.s sentiments in a way to settle all cavil. He says in the Cost of to-day: “Our government is in its infancy, with new prop ositions and interests .ni'ronting the states men every hour, ami the man who thinks the Presidency a bed of roses is an idiot. When we reflect that Mr. Cleveland was but a few j'ears ago in private life, and that he came to Washington with verv little ac quaintance with public men and no legisla tive experience, it is a matter of surprise that he is able to administer affairs so won derfully well. He prepares his own State papers, and they are not equaled by those of any of his immediate predecessors. His let ters in the newspapers this morning on the fisheries is worthy a place in history as a calm, dignified American production, which will command respect everywhere. Of course there are people determined not to support the President and who accuse every one of toadying for patronage who says anything in lus favor. Mr. Cleveland has never lieen especially favorable to me, and my relations with Prcddent Arthur, not withstanding political differences, were more intimate than they have been with the pres ent Executive. 1 do not agree with Mr. Cleveland now as to many things, but I should be ashamed of myself if I failed to say most emphatically that lie is an honest, patriotic man, with far more ability than even his nearest friends claimed for him when elected. He has been President two years and look at the result. The battle cry of the Republicans before his election was that property and business would not Is - safe if the Democrats came into power, and espe cially that life and property were unsafe all over the South. N**w business men every where are for .Cleveland, and even the Re publican leaders are inv—.ting in Southern enterprises. I know several of my Repub lican friends in the Senate who are putting half their fortunes in Southern lands and securities. Cleveland has forever hushed all the rot about Democrats mining the country.” “ Will he be elected again:” “Yes. If his administration continues as it has gone on for two years and the country hos no financial hurricane to sweep over it, he will he nominated and elected, no matter who is the Republican candidate. To-day Cleveland can defeat any man in the Union. The people at large know he is honest and fearless in his duty. He works harder than any subordinate under him, and he wants others to do their work also.” “AVliat of his civil service ideas?” “As to his civil service ideas I have this to say: No man living is more anxious than myself to see Democrats in office. If I had my way I would till every position of im portance with a Democrat, and I would carry the rule very far even as to subordi nate places; but the President honestly thinks it his duty to keep many Republicans in office who, in my opinion, should go out, and 1 have no right to denounce him and his administration for this when T have not the tlightest doubt that he is sincere in his con victions and thinks this is the spirit and meaning of the platform on which he was elected. At any rate 1 do not propose to abandon the first President wo have elected in twenty-five years on any such ground as this.” Ream’s Costly Maid Servants. From the Chicago Mail. A year ago St. Paul was the speculative fancy of all the Western men. Armour led the crowd at Chicago and west of here, and Rockefeller was at the head of the crowd at Cleveland, N. B. Ream was a member of the famous junketting party that started over the road with Armour when the stock was in the (10’s. He made a big winning at that time. He also went into the stock again with Nat Jones and others, and kept doub ling up until last summer, when tne sto r, k was in the vicinity of par and when every body expected that it would touch 100, if for no other reason than to gratify the pride of some of its directors. Ream had a good many thousands shares. His profit had reached over $.50,000, and the other hulls in the stock in the same office had decided to realize. The matter was talked over one afternoon, and it was practically decided to sell. The next morning the whole load of stock; carried by the crowd was dumped— except those carried by Ream. For some reason or other the tall speculator did not get down, as had Ixien liis invariable custom, before the opening at New York. It. was nearly noon when he did show up, and by that time the st.x-k market had weakened off considerably. Ream decided then to wait for a harder sjx*t to unload on, and ordered his Nt. Paul held. It wasn't a lucky deci sion. The market had made a t urn for a long null, and it did not go but one way—down. When his Nt. Paul stock was sola almost the entire $50,(X)0 profit had disappeared. V\ hen the account wus written up and pre sented, tlie brokers who made the trade re luarked that there had been a handsome profit iu the deal ut onetime that might easily nave been secured. Ream answered: “When I went home that night, after the talk among the different holders, 1 intended to sell out at the opening the next morning, hut." he added, ingenuously, as if there was nothing remarkable at all nlxmt it, “two of our servant girls at home got inis* a quarrel and one of them was going to leave. I lmri t/> stay home to straighten the thing out.” Those servant girls may be tilth Mr. Ream yt. and probably at' l ', but wherever they i are he ought to own them. They cost him between s.',o,UXj aiut ?Cd,ooo. The Kind of Soup It Wan. From the Huston Journal.

F'(*a. ’ MOTHER AND SON. The Tender Affection of the Younger Dumas for His Parent. From a Paris Letter. Some details have recently been given to the world reflecting the mother of the younger Dumas. She .was not, as has fre quently been asserted, a woman of the lower classes, unintelligent and uneducated. She was of a respectable family at Rouen, was married early in life to a" man whom she never loved, and from whom she separated very soon after their union. She came to Paris and adopted the t rade of a dress-maker. Chance threw her in the way of Alexandre Dumas, then earning a salary of S3OO a year; they were mutually attracted, and a serious love affair ensued. After their separation, a few veara later, Mine. L—— worked hard to rear and educate her child. Some of the early year's of his manhood he passed with his father; the rest of his existence was de voted to his fond and careful mother. It was in the pleasant little home that she formed for him that he began his literary career. For four years the mother and son lived together in an existence made up of order and economy. The young m.ui wrote several novels, and was employed on two or three papers. Then, in 1852, came the great success of "I,a Dame aux (.'amelias,'’ and fame came, with fortune in her train, to the modest abode of the young author. To the honor of the younger Dumas, be it said, that his first action on his accession to compara tive wealth was the settlement of a pension on his mother. Henceforward the cares and trials of Mine. L were at an end. She refused to leave the modest suite of apart ments on the Rue Pigalle, where she and her son laid dwelt together, and it was there that she died in his arms in lStvs. She had always proudly refused to accept anything from the elder Dumas alter'their filial sepa ration, yet she was accustomed to speak of him with smiling indulgence as of a spoiled child, who ha<l never learned wisdom, either from age or reverses of fortune. She care fully preserved till the day of Her death a table lie had given her. and on which two of his greatest dramas, “Christina of Sweden” and "Henri III.,” had been written. She was famous for her preserves, and for sev eral autumns she sent some jars of them to the abode of the author of "Monte Cristo," who was then living on the Boulevard Male slier! >es. She forgave him —hail she not her son beside her, that son in whom her whole life was bound up 1 A Lonely Vigil by the Sea. From the Astrury Park Journal. It may not be generally known that the beach at Asbury Park is patrolled by a )>o lieeman every night in the year. He is obliged each morning to render a written report. His lonely hours a*c sometimes en livened by meeting the Life Saving patrol On the beach there are telephones which connect with Park Hall, which also lias a night policeman mid by private funds. He responds to his fellow-guardian at the surf. Besides telephones and fire engines on the beach, there is also a miniature arsenal, but this is called into requisition very rarely. One of the odd things that occur on the beach is the fact that cats sometimes go down to get dams. After a strong west wind, such as we had several days, the great sea clams are washed ashore by the resistless waves striking deeper and drag ging the mammoth shell fish from their sandy beds. The Engadine Bouquet, Atkinson’s new perfume. This superb distillation sweetly recalls fragrant Swiss flowers. Bright jewels in a setting of perpetual snow. BUG POISON. mm BIG FINISH! Ready for Use Dry, No Mixing Required STICKS to the vines and finishes the whole crop of POTATO BUGS with one applica tion; also, kills any Curculio and the Cotton and Tobacco Worm. This is tin* only safe way to use a Strong Poi son: none of the Poison is in a clear state, hut thoroughly combined by patent process and machinery, with material to help the very fine powder to stick to the vines ami entice the bugs to eat it, and is also a fertilizer. One Pound will go as far as Ten Pounds of Plaster and Paris Green as mixed by the farm ers, is therefore cheaper and saves trouble and danger of mixing and using the green, which, it is needless to say, is dangerous to handle. Cheaper than any other mixture used for the purpose. Guaranteed more effective than any other mixture sold for the purpose. FOR SALE BV ANDREW HANLEY, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. PROPOSAL* WANTED.
