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 Diem think they are paupers by pouring Into them all the worn-out appli ■nqfc- from other schools. Schools ■MM have a missionary spirit, bringing into the church. There should ba j place in the school for the whole church. K tl > children were all gathered in when there would be no necessity for work I|S -nvert old jieopie.

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.

W Smith, M. Callaway, Thomas A. Clayton ami W. C. Gunn. Re;x)ri.s from counties by delegates were then received. THE EVENING SESSION. The evening session was opened at 8 o'clock with a song service by R. J. Strozier, of Eastman. Rev. W. P.

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. To-morrow is children’s day. There will be a procession and other interesting fea tures. GEORGIA’S CAPITAL CITY. Gov. Gordon Still Too Unwell to Re sume His Official Duties.

The others accused were released. The Augusta City Council to-day declined to permit Mr. Coekery to project his hotel building’s second story over the Jackson street sidewalk. Tills, would have-added fifteen rooms to the structure. (The action of the Council is rather roughly criticised on the street to-night, as it is declared un progressive and not in keeping with the spirit of the times. Gov.

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.

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- room hotel, -10x80. It will lie a handsome bloek. Work is progressing on the new Episcopal church. Methodist and Presbyte rian churches will be built this summer also. Your i-orres)wudont had a pleasant inter view with Dr. Winthrop, who is urging the extensive cultivating of the poppy for the puriKise of obtaining opium. The doctor is an old traveler, having lieen around the world several times, and is u close and care tul observer. HE BELIEVES IN THE POPPY CULTURE for Florida, and says that the poorest lands, those unfitted for ruiytliing else, will grow this plant to perfection. A net profit of $l,OOO per acre, ho thinks, can easily lie made. Ho has improved the method, also, of securing the morphia in the plant, get ting a grew ter yield by several hundred per cent. A company is tieing formed with u capital of $50,000, and it, looks now as if this plant would have a tail- trial to demon- i strato its fitness for tins State. If success ful it certainly will boa rich ‘•find - ’ for the set tiers, ns the plant can Is; so easily nail cheaply raised. In fact, the doctor claims the land can lie in cultivation all the year by planting at intervals Lieut. Plu s-sell has locutod the line of the government telegraph line to Jupiter.

Tallahassee, Fla., April 38. —The Sen ate spent the entire day in a fruitless discus sion of the mechanics’ lieu bill, finally refer ring it to the Conference Committee for revision. The President was authorized to appoint a committee to inquire into the lands now held by the Internal Improvement Board, and their liabilities under existing contracts.

The engineers of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad arrived here to-day, having marie a preliminary survey of the route from Thomasvilie. The grading near this city will be heavy, but the surveyors are pleased with the outlook and grading will lx*gin in a short time. Gov. Perry has made no appointments, and the friends of ex-Gov. Bioxham think this delay will make supporters for ex-Gov. Bioxham in the Senatorial race. Mr. Pasco's friends are working hard for him, believing that he can eventually break the deadlock. 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. WEDDING DEId S. Mr. Charles B.

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 until to-morow. He was not clear as to the credit lie ought to give the girl's testimony regarding tne absence of relatives or the length of her residence in a Los Angeles Weather Indications.
