Kimball and others, in place of \V. A.
Post., of Grantville. who was expected to

THE TEACHER AND HIS WORK.
Rev. W. P. Thirkield. of Atlanta, made a
fine addresson “The Teacher and His Work.”
Dr. Thirkield is an impassionate and practi
cal speaker and makes hi.s points sharp and
clear. It was evident that he had his sub
ject at heart. He pointed out that dis
tinction between the Sunday school and
secular school could not take place if the
church favored denominational schools,
where even practicable. He was not in
favor of mission schools, but when estab
lished give them the best, books, music and
teachers that can be afforded. Don't make

HOW TO ATTAIN SUCCESS.
A paper on the topic, “How Can This Asso
ciation Best Attain its Highest Success,” pre
pared bv John R. West, of Macon, was read
by R. I). Clancy. Mr. West advised the em
ployment of a man who would give his
whole time to the organization of county
and district associations on a plan similar to
that adopted by the Young Men's Christian
Association. The question was fully dis
cussed, and culminated in the appointment
of a committee to consider the feasibility of
such a plan. The committee is composed of
the following: G. K. Bonner, R. W Smith,
M. Callaway, Thomas A. Clayton ami W.
C. Gunn.
Re;x)ri.s from counties by delegates were

W. Lee, of Atlanta, but he was prevented
from coming.
The teachers' meeting was illustrated in a
highly satisfactory manner by Miss Fleish,
of Augusta.
The attendance on the session is very large,
showing the interest felt by the people.

SIDE TRACKS AT COLUMBUS.
A Lively Fight in Which a Railroad
Comes out First Best.
Columbus, Ga., April 38.—Mrs. Kav
augh, residing on Ninth street, some time
since obtained an injunction in the Superior
Court restraining the Mobile and Girard
railroad from using a side track in front of
her house, claiming that the value of her
property was greatly depreciated by the con
stant loading ami union ling of cars, and that
the shifting engine passing back and forth
was a constant source of annoyance, and
also that the side track had been laid down
in the street without obtaining authority to
do so. The case was carried to the Supreme
court, and yesterday a decision was ren
dered sustaining the ruling of the lower
court. In the meantime tne City Council
hud ordered an election to take place to-day
to decide if the railroad should have jx r
inission to place side tracks in any of the
streets. The result of the vote was 402 for
side tracks, and 47 against them.
"A PRISONER TAKES MORPHINE.
Prospects of Lifetime Imprisonment
More Than He Could Stand.
Macon, Ga., April 38.—Cicero Darby,
confined in the county jail hero for the
murder of William Ritteuberg, and under
sentence of imprisonment for life, attempt
ed suicide by taking morphine at a late hour
last night. His condition is critical and
there is but little hope for bis recovery.
Darby was convicted at the f all term of
Bibb Superior Court and recommended to
mercy. His case was appealed and yester
day the Supreme Court sustained the ver
dict of the court below. Darby heard the
news to-day and took the morphine. It is
supposed that he got hold of it while in the
city under guard, but, just how is not known.
His sister called a; the jail t;d ruoon to
see him, but the jailer was present at the in
terview, so she could not have given it to
him. It is not expected that Darby will
live, strenuous efforts aro being
made to resuscitate him.
TITUSVILLE ITEMS.
A Growing City Surrounded by a
Prosperous Country.
Titusville, Fla., April 20.—1n 1880 this
town was a very small place. It had two or
three stores and a small and scattered popu
lation. Now there are large and line stores
with complete stocks of goods. Dozens of
new buildings are going up and many other;
have just been completed. Situated ns
Titusville is, at the head of the Indian river,
it naturally commands the greater portion
of the trade from this water roadway, and
as the immigration to this section lias been
large the past year, the trade here has
Increased greatly. In the last ten months
over 125 new buildings have been erected,
necessitating an outlay of fully $BO,OOO, and
the population has fully doubled. Col.
(Stewart, the County Clerk, informed the
Mop.niNO News representative that the"
real estate transfers were greater in the past
three months than for a year previous to
that time.
THE LANDS ALONG THE RIVER
are valuable, and their fertility is fast be
coming known. The orange groves are
large, and the Indian river fruit has a world
wide reputation. Besides the rail connec
tion of tlie Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railway, a steamer now runs to Jack
sonville; tlux'e steamers give quick and sure
traiiK]>o>-tation to the lower ports of the
river, and there is talk of anew one to be
added soon.
Among the buildings to be erected this
summer are a two-story hotel, seventy-five
rooms, built of coquina, and just in front of
the present Titq.s Ilouse, but near and facing
the river. Dr. E. hi. Wiley, of Valdosta,
(la., has tin* plans ready lor a two-story (10-

A STRANGE LIFE ENDED.
The Deliberate Suicide of an Old Resi
dent of Orange.
n the Sew York Timex.
A strange lit'-' ended yesterday in the sui
cide of Emanuel Zuke, at Orange, N. J. On
Sunday night. Zuke asked Frank Fiske, a
fellow-journeyman hatter, to call at his
rooms by noon yesterday, .-is h > wished to
make him some presents. When Fikke called
he found Zuke’s dead body on the floor.
There w.is a pistol in his hand and a bullet
hole in. his right temple. In one corner of
the room -rood a valise with the things to be
given to Fiske. Oil the bed Zuke had laid
out u suit of black and a shirt fresh from tile
laundry, with a collar and black tie for his
burial outfit. The dead man had folded an
old piece of carpet under 111- shoulders and
h' ad. and as a further preventive against
soiling tiie carpet lie made, a pillow of cloths
for his iii ad and nock. Then he placed the
pistol where he was certain it would kill,
laid his left arm across his breast and fired
In one of his trunks was found a little cloth
ing and 840, but no iinpers to show his his
tory, his condition in life, or the motive for
' th" deed.
A mauve was not wholly lacking, how
ever. For a year or more Zuke hail com
plained at times of ill health. There was
little change in his appearance, and he kent
working ai the hatters' trade, at which he
had always made a good living, but he felt
that his life hung by a thread. In the little
discourse that he had with his fellow work
men he gave them to understand that a
physician had pronounced his case hopeless.
Something was the matter with his noart,
he said. During last month be surprised
people whom he knew with gifts of trinkets
ytrad other souvenirs. He had a passion for
handsome -corfs and other apparel of a
quality above that of the class with whom
lie work i. With all of these things ho
parted. To those who questioned Jiiin
about the gifts he replied that he would
have no further use for them.
Zuke occupied the upper floor of a house
on Ward street, cooking his own meals. The
rooms were prettily furnished by him. but
he nearly stripped them of ornaments, w’qieh
he bestowed upon his acquaintances. To the
son of his landlord he gave a gold watch.
Two or threw weeks ago he received from
Madeira a letter inquiring what should be
done with 81,500 which he had forwarded to
his brother, a priest. The letter said that
on the way from church the preceding Sun
day tin- priest had fallen dead. A reply was
sent directing the distribution of the money
among a nephew and other relatives. Zuke
spoke of this incident in Orange, and said lie
had sent bis brother his savings because lie
didn't want them, hoping to precede him to
the grave rather than follow him. He men
tioned his impending death so often that his
landlord feared suicide and tried to get him
out of the house. He permittixi him to stay
on promise thut nothing of the kind should.
occur.
Yesterday morning Zuke got his break
fast, cleared up his rooms and went out
doors looking as usual. On returning at !)
o’clock he met the landlord's son going to
work. The landlord had already gone, and
no one was in the house when Zuke re-en
tered. From the appearance of the body at
noon it was judged that lie must have shot
himself within a few minutes after ho re
turned.
liis death was the talk of Orange last
night. Although in humble station lie had
been a conspicuous figure there for more
than thirty years. Men were s.wn last night
who remembered Ills advent there—a tall,
handsome young Portuguese, who held aloof
from his fellows, but was willing to turn his
hand to anything for a livelihexxi. He be
came a hat maker and soon a skillful one.
As years went he continued as he had !*•-
pun, civil and obliging, but rather distant
in his bearings. He carried himself as if he
had led a soldier's life, but the inquisitive
got no satisfaction from him. In time
jxsiple grew accustomed to his ways,
and although he made no close
friendship he was generally liked. He
always dressed remarkably well, and
although not striving to appear above his
fellows, he was long ago dubbed“thedude.”
Occasionally he let out a little of his history.
All that is really known of him is that liis
name was Emanuel Zoce do Franca Beazmi.
It is believed by those who knew him best
that he came of good family in Portugal,
and that he fled from his home in his youth
on account of a quarrel which ended fatally
for a rival in a love affair. From the hat
ters’ association #75 will lx; contributed
from the death fund, insuring, with the #4O
found in his trunk, a decent burial of the
body this afternoon.

SOLD AT THIRTEEN.
An Interesting Story Brought Out In
The San Francisco Court.
From the San Fn:.i' isco Cal!.
Yesterday Judge Coffey was ixx-upied for
a considerable time in the nearing of the
application made by Mis.- Culbertson, of the
Chinese Presbyterian Mission of this city,
to be appointed guardian of the person of a
comely Chinese maiden with the euphoni
ous name of Tsoy Yung.
The object of the legal controversy yes
terday has had a somewhat eventful his
tory, notwithstanding the fa t that she has
but just completed her thirteenth year. The
girl was born in Chita, and while yet an
infant was brought to this'-country. Her
mother died shortly afterward, anti she was
sold to another woman, whom th" girl) :t r
sists in calling her mother, :dsn. This
woman, it would appear, reared the Mongo
lian maid with a view solely to her market
able value. The girl, though small of
stature, Is, for a Chinese child, good look
ing, and her developing charms attracted
the glances of more than one of the sons of
the Flowery Kingdom who have amassed
wealth in Chinatown. However, none
of these bid sufficiently high for the
jx’rson of Tsoy Yung to U dipt her owner to
ilispise of so valuable a slave.
Some seven months ago a Chinaman from
the orange groves of Los Angeles paid a
visit to this city, and the fame of Tsoy
Yung's budding beauty reached Ins ears.
His professional occupat ion m the Chinese
slum- of the fair city of Southern California
is such as to make the p * sskm of young
and handsome Chinese maidens a matter of
much financial concern. Accordingly Hau
Ship, the Los Angeles Chinaman, engaged
the services of an oil Cain •■•** woman to act
as ambassadress, or “go-between,” with a
view of purchasing the valuable chattel
property known a- Tsoy Yung. The Isis
Angeles Chinaman was wealthy, aud the
price asked for the Celestial beauty was,
after some huckstering, paid, and tue old
dame who conducted the negotiation took
her young prize to Los Angeles. Tiie
Chinese Mission in this city, having heard
of the occurrence, took steps to nullify the
proceedings of Hau .Ship. Proceedings
were instituted in Los Angeles, and it was
ascertained that Hau snip had placed Tsoy
Yung in a disreputable lons. . A warrant
was placed m the hands of Officer Smith, of
J ustice Austin's Court. The whereabouts of
the girl was located, and Officers Hunter,
Cline and Del Valle a we k or so ago deter
mined to raid the house and capture the
child. They proceeded to the place, and
found sitting on a bench at the portal of the
house a Chinese Cerberus in the person of a
parchment-faced Chinaman, who was enjoy
ing the pernicious luxury of an opium
smoke. The door ,va' -her was detained
while the other officers entered the house,
and Hunter, finding the girl he was in quest
of, endeavored to pfci slide her to leave the
place. The other woman of the place
strenuously and loudly objected. Fearing
resistance, the officer boldly seized the girl
in his arms and ran out of the house with
her. Tiie other female denizens of the place
at once set up shrill s: i ams for help. The
officers ran away, follow' and by an excited
crowd of Chinamen. Tie.* C unamen were
gaining in the race on o '\ .-r Del Valle, and
a recapture of the fair prize would probably
have Leer, the :vumt urn! u*>t the policeman
hailed a passing hack and sprung into it
with his frightened charge. The girl was
quickly driven to the county jail, where she
was safely housed. She was next brought
before Justice Austin, and by him committed
to the care of the Boys’ and Girls' Aid Soci
ety in iliis city. The g;rl arrived here some
days ago air ( was, by Superintendent
Dcxilev, of the society, placed under the
watchful eye of Miss Culbertson, who
presides over the welfare of the Celestial
matds intrusted to the mission. A petition
for letters of guardian-hip was filed, and
yesterday set for its hearing. In the mean
time an alleged uneie of Tsoy Yung sued
out a writ of habeas corpus, and after hear
ing the testimony Judge Toohy took the
case under advisement and has not rendered
a division yet.
When the ease was called before Judge
Coffey yesterday the girl was produced in
charge oi MCs Culbertson. TJwo particularly
villainous-looking Cltinan&ea occupied seats
m a eg.,-cur of the courtroom, and the
frightened, furtive glances cast at them by
Tsoy Yung showed the fear she entertained
of her fellow-countrymen.
When tiie case was called, Superintendent
Dooly, in response to Judge Coffey, stood
on the steps of the judicial dais. Judge
Coffey proceeded in a low but determined
voice to admonish Mr. Dooley thut although
he had th< guardianship of many children
awarded hint by the court still the court
held itself responsible to society that Mr.
Dooley should exercise the privilege be
stowed oa him by it in such a manlier as to
be satisfactory to those most concerned in
the children’s welfare. Judge Coffey re
marked that persons claiming to be friends
and relatives of the children had more than
once expressed disapproval of the munner
riu which they wore treated in connection
with visits, etc., to the children. Judge
Coffey stingingly added: “You know, Mr.
Dooley, that a great many of us imagine
ourselves of very great importance, greater
importance, indeed, than we deserve.
When you come into this court you have no
more rights here than anv other individual,
and os such only will be treated by the
court.”
Tsoy Yung was examined, and, through
an interpreter, testified that she had been
sent by her second mother to the woman
who fix >k her to Los Angeles. She said she
l-new it was wrong to tell a lie, and that
heaven existed in the s'y. She would sooner
go back to the Mission than go to heaven.
While being questioned at length by Judge
Coffey, the door of the court room moved
several times, as if someone wore peeping
in. The child on each occasion started, and
begin to speak iu a very low tone. In reply
to the Judge, however, she said she was
afraid of being kidnapped. She swore she
was thirteen years of age, and that she had
no relatives in this country.
Judge Coffey declined to pass on the appli
cation at present, and continued the ease
