THIS CITY.

Put up Will be Forfeited The Gov
ernor Remits Half of a DoKalb Coun
ty Man’s Fine -Guns Brought Back
From Columbus.
Atlanta, Ga., May 10.—Etta Henderson,
alias Gertrude Batley, the negro procuress
from Savannah, who tried to allure young
white girls of this city to ruin, was released
from jail to-day on bond. Justice Tanner
bound her over in each case in SSOO. A well
known gentleman of this city signed the
bond in obedience to a telegram from a
friend of the woman, who lives in Savan
nah. She stated that a merchant of Savan
nah was her friend, and was instrumental in
getting her out of jail. She said he was a
man of family. YV. J. Albert and W.
Adolph Brandt, lawyers here, made elo
quent appeals to Judge Marshall Clarke
to reduce the l>ond, which lit- rightly de
clined to do, because the evidence against
the woman is very strong. It is believed
here that the woman will not come back for
trial and that somebody will have to pay out
a thousand dollars. Siie left for Savannah
this afternoon.
August Fleisch, proprietor of a wine
room, was fined SSOO for violating the pro
hibition law to-day and bound over to the
City Court in the sum of $1,0;H).
HALF HIS FIXE REMITTED.
On petition of many citizens and officials
of DeJvalb county, the Solicitor General
and representatives in the legislature, the
Governor has remitted one-half of the fine

term of DoKalb Superior Court of violating
the local option law and fined $250.
A requisition was issued to-day for Henry
Pope, a negro charged with larceny in
Chattooga county, and undor arrest in
Gadsden, Ala. It is believed he is the negro
who committed an outrage on Miss Kendrick,
a 10-year-old girl in Chattooga, some
months ago, and for whose arrest an execu
tive reward of SSOO was offered.
GUNS BROUGHT BACK.
Nathan Monroe, Secretary of the Adju
tant General, returned from Columbus to
day with forty-three guns of the old Musco
gee Rifles, which are to be turned over to the
Gainesville Rifles, anew company. He
also wanted the gatling gun at Columbus,
it being proposed to give it to the Atlanta
artillery. The Columbus military objected
to giving up the gun, but it is held subject
to orders for delivery to the Atlanta artil
lery.
It is reliably reported t han Judge New
man will appoint Dr. William King, Henry
W. Grady’s father-in-law, to the Clerkship
of the United States Court. The salary is
$3,500, with an allowance for clerical assist
ance. Dr. King was formerly in the Comp
troller’s office, but is now in the revenue
service. The appointment will not be made
until July, a delay at which Democrats are
not satisfied, as the place is still filled by A.
E. Buck, Republican, who is also Clerk of
the Circuit Court.

FLORIDA'S BALLOT WAR.
The Vote Not Materially Changed—

Tallahassee, Fla., May 10.—The Jack
sonville Board of Trade petitioned the leg
islature to pass the railroad commission bill
with the right of appeal and allowing the
commission to act only on complaint after
hearing.
Tho ThomasviHe, Tallahassee and Gulf
railroad bill, extending the time for the con
struction of this road, passed the House to
day under a suspension of the rules and now
g *<*n to the Governor.

ject to garnishment, and prescribing the
penalty for injuring or obstructing rail
roads, were signed by the Speaker and sent
to the Governor.
The pre requisite poll tax bill and the
railroad commission bill were made special
orders for to-morrow.

ing the militia bill in committee of the
whole, without result.
The Senate inode the bill forfeiting the
Gordon railroad charter the special order
for Monday afternoon.
The Tampa charter bill was recommitted.
The bill relative to the redemption of tax

Senator Stevens introduced a bill prohib
iting railroads from running freight trains

DARK nORSES.
The discussion of dark horses in the Sena
torial race is going on quietly but very ear
nestly. There are a good ninny very well
informed men here who think that neither
Bloxham, Perry nor Pasco can be elected,
and they are canvassing the chances of
other available men. Attention lias already
been called in these dispatches to Judge
McWhorter. Ho has a good many
friends, but he does not seem to grow
in strength. There are two men who
are kept in the background, both
of whom will bo brought to the front in the
near future. One is Congressman David
son and the other is John Henderson. The
lutter is a lawyer and a man of marked
ability and high character. He is a strong
Bloxham man, and it would not Ik: at all
surprising if Bloxliam’s strength would go
to him when the time for the dark
horses to enter the race comes. Mr.
Hcndorson has a good many friends
in the Legislature outside of those who are
supporting Bloxham. Exactly how much
strength Mr. Davidson has it is impossible
to say, but from present indications it is not
nearly so great as that of Mr. Henderson. It
is probable that if a vote of the people
could be had Bloxham would bo chosen, as
he iR very popular, but the people are not
doing the voting in this instance. As long
as Perry stays in the race it is not probable
that Bloxham will poll a larger vote than
he has already polled, anil there is not much
doubt that he will stay as long as Bloxham
does.
PENSACOLA POINTERS.
A Montgomery Club on a Fishing Ex
cursion—The Sunday Law.
Pensacola, Fla., May 10.—The Browder
Club, of Montgomery Ala., arrived here

Bloxham Indorsed.
Hawthorne. Fla., May 10.—A meeting
was held in Adkins' Hall Saturday which
indorsed Bloxham for Senator. The follow
ing resolution was adopted:
That it is the sense of this meeting that the
first consideration of our Representatives should
lie the future welfare, stability and unity of the
Democratic party, but consistently with that,
they are hereby requested to use every honora
ble means in i heir power first, last and all the
time to secure the speedy election of William
D. Bloxham to the position of United States
Senator, since we lielieve him to Ik: the choice of
the people of Florida and know him to be the
choice of the people of Alachua county.

known, and an examination of his books
showed a defalcation if several thousand

Agony is Courted
By persons who, attacked by a mild form of
rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt relief. Hub
sequent torture is prevented by an immediate
resort to Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. Might
exposure, an occasional draught, will Iwget this
painful malady, where their is a inrdinjiosHiou
to it in the blood. It is not difficult to arrest the
trouble at the outset, but well nigh impossible to
eradicate it when matured. No evidence iu re
lation to this superb blood derm rent is more pos
itive than that which establishtw it* efficacy as a
preventive and remedy for rheumatism. Not

BARBED WIRE MEN FAIL.
The Operations of the Commerce Law
Given as the Cause.
Lynchburg, May 10.—M. T. Smith &
Cos., tobacconists, made an assignment to
day for the benefit of their creditors. They
executed a deed in favor of Peters & Flood,
who are their heaviest endorsers.
barbed wire makers fail.
Chicago, May 10, —Sherman, Marsh &
Cos., barbed wire manufacturers, made an
assignment to-day. The liabilities and assets
are unknown.
A second failure in the bnrbed wire business
was subsequently announced. The firm is
that of Scnnaebol & Cos. Their liabilities
will reach $303,000; tho assets are about
$175,000. In an interview with a Journal
reporter Mr. Marsh, of tho firm of Sher
man, Marsh & Cos., attributed his failure to
the interstate commerce law.
The two firms have been in existence
about seven years, employing 130 men and
were making money rapidly until after the
passage of the interstate commerce law,
when the railroads established rates which
enabled competitors shipping by water to
sell cheaper. Each firm was on the other's
paper. The principal creditors are the
Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Com
pany, Commercial National Bank, American
Wire Company, Merchants l/iim ami Trust
Company, the" 11. P. Nail Company, lowa
Barb Wire Company, New Haven Wire
Company, John A. Roebling’s Sons’ Com
pany and the Cambria Iron Company.
pig iron importers suspend.
Montreal, May 10.—Copeland & Mc-
Laren, importers of pig iron, drain pipes,
etc., have suspended payment. A meeting
of tlicir creditors has been called for to
morrow, when they will nsk for an exten
sion of time. The flrm fix their liabilities,
direct and indirect, at about $1135,000.
FAILURE OF A CATTLE KING.
Winnemucca, Nev., May 10.—W. B.
Todhunter, a cattle owner of Sacramento,
Cal., who owns 170,000 acres of land in Ore
gon and 50,000 acres in this State, has as
signed. His liabilities are said to lie $450,000.
PENNSYLVANIA’S MINERS.
The Wyoming and Lackawanna Men
Not Apt to Shrike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 10. —The Rec
ord. has made an investigation of the strike
outlook anil finds that there is no prospect
of any trouble in the Wyoming and Lacka
wanna coal fields, the agitation being lim
ited to the Schuylkill and Carbon regions.
Tho operators here have received no demand
for an advance other than a general demand
issued from the Schuylkill region. The cir
cular claims to be on behalf of the Miners’
and Laborers’ Amalgamated Association
and the Knights of I uibor of the anthracite
region of Pennsylvania. The Record's re
search shows that the circular does not rep
sent the sentiment of the men outside of
the Schuylkill region, and that the lalwr
organizations referred to have not, as far as
tho Wyoming and Lackawanna regions are
concerned, united in the demand for an ad
vance. The grievance in Schuylkill does
not exist in the Wyoming and Lackawanna
regions. In the last two places mentioned
wages are from 10 to 20 |>cr cent, higher
than in Schuylkill, and the only' tiling that
would induce the men hero to strike would
be sympathy with the Schuylkill men. It
is not low wages, but a shortage of working
time that is complained of in the Wyoming
region. This is owing to an overstocked
market, there being too many mines at
work and too many men to work them.
The sentiment here is to make the best of
the situation. Hundreds of persons have
bought little homes and they will not im
jieril them or deprive their families of the
necessaries of life by striking when there is
no special grievance
MEN ROASTED IN A FURNACE.
An Arch of Red Hot Substance Buries
Them in its Fall.
Pittsburg, May 10.—A terrible accident
occurred at the Edgar Thompson Steel
Works at Braddocks about 10 o’clock to
night which will probably cost five lives.

cleaning it out. An arch had formed/Com
posed of coke, limestone and other
materials, which were still at rod
heat, and the men were working
beneath this mass. To-night without
warning the arch gave way. The red-hot
matter was thrown in all directions, knock
ing the men down and in some instances
burying them. But few of the men in the
vicinity escaped uninjured. In a short time
the debris was removed and five men were
taken out in a horrible condition. Their
clothing was burned entirely' from their
bodies and their flesh literally oooked.
Physicians have no hope of their recovery.

When we consider the uncertainty of
every event of life, let us remember that the
203d Grand Monthly Drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery took
place at New Orleans on Tuesday (always
Tuesday), April 12, 1887; under the sole
supervision and control of Gens. G. T. Beau
regard, of Louisiana, and Jubal A. Early, of
Virginia, when $5:12,500 was sent flying
around the world where it would probably
do the most good. Thusly: No. 07,060 drew
the First Capital Prize of $150,000, which
was sold in fractional parts of tenths at $1
each, sent to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans,
La.; one was held by George P. Stackhouse,
for himself and fifteen painters in the estab
lishment of Goodell & Waters, Philadelphia,
Pa.; one by Ambrose Gilliland, of Mowea
qua, 111., collected through Decatur Nation
al Bank, Decatur, 111.; one by Mrs. M. R.
Newberry, Cheboygan, Mich.; one was paid
through the London, Paris and American
Bank, limited; one through the Anglo-Cali
fornian Bank, limited; two through Wells,
Fargo & Cos., all the latter of San Francis
co, Cal.; the others elsewhere, the publica
tion of whose names is objected to; No. 23, ~
899 drew the Second Prize of $50,000, also
sold in tenths at $1 each; one to J. M. Stotts,
Dee, Ark.; one to Roy J. Bour, Canton, O.;
one to W. C. Hammock, Griffin, Ga.; one to
C. W. Tweedy, Augusta, Ga.; one to A. L.
Robb, Atchison, Kas., the othoj-s went else
where. No. 07, 901 drew the Third of $20,-
000, also sold in tenths at $1 each; one to H.
T. Davis and B. S. Webber, Portland, Me.;
one to P H. Dwyer, Boston, Mass.; one to
G. Ragin, Clarkesville, Tex.; the rest else
where. Nos. 22,735 and 50,830 drew each
one of the Fourth Prizes of $lO,OOO and were
scattered hither and yon, everywhere over
the world, and now it soon will be the 205th
monthly and Grand Extraordinary Draw
ing on Tuesday, June 14, 1887, when $1,055,-
000 will be scattered in the sums from $300,-
000 down to $lOO. Whole tickets are $2O;
and fractional parts from halves at $lO to
twentieths at 31. Any information can be
had of M. A. Dauphin, New Orloans, La. It
is well to seize the opportunity ere it is too
iate.
