Your correspondent has recently made a
flying excursion over the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia and the Western and
Atlantic railroads, pausing briefly at a few
points of interest by the way. The former
cf these great highways has at length been
placed in first-class condition, and under its
present ownership and direction is doing a
niugnificent freight and passenger business.
This is due in no littlo degree to the astute
policy of Vico President Henry Fink and
the assistance of his able lieutenant, the
irrepressible and popular B. W. Wrenn.
AH the lower end of the line, which was so
long neglected, is now laid with heavy
steel rails, and the connections and time
table are uniformly regular and satisfacto
rily maintained. This road has done much
to develop the latent resources of a large
portion of the State, previously known only
by the sneering appellation, “Pine Barrens
of Georgia.” Now these lands, through the
co operation of the 8. F. and W., are fur
nishing millions of dollars’ worth of naval
stores and lumber to the world, and
denuded of the forest growth are
easily cleared off and yield readily to the
plowshare. AVheuever sufficiently elevated
the soil, with the aid of a moderate amount
of artificial stimulants.yields generously and
is easily cultivated. In fact, the region be
tween Cochran and Jesup may be called the
‘ ‘emigrant’s paradise. ” Here at. trifling cost
he can purchase a farm, stock it with a few
sheep and cattle, erect his cabin, and in a
wonderfully short time, if diligent and
thrifty, find himself surrounded with
all * thp comforts and many of
the luxuries of life. This is no
overdrawn statement, but literally the
truth. From Macon to Rome also, flour
ishing towns are springing up all along the
route, and the taxable values of that sec
tion have increased fully' three-fold. Be
sides all this, the healthy competition in
freights, necessarily inaugurated, has con
duced largely to the benefit of the people.
That other grand artery of commerce
above alluded to,
THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD,
from a careful inspection, is undoubtedly the
equal in its construction, equipment and
management of any in the Union. Despite
the active opposition of rival and flanking
lines, that $35,000 is paid into the State
treasury every month without one day’s de
lay, and the roadbed, track, bridges, etc.,
are kept in the very best repair. What a
contrast to the period w hen the State essay
ed to run the road herself,
g Gov. Brown, the sagacious oracle, ever
ready to advise when counsel is needed,
Blill calmly occupies the Presidential chair.
His son Joseph, too, a “chip of the old
block,” albeit young in years, tills the im
portant position he holds with so much
ability that already he has carved out a
national reputation in railroad circles. Su
perintendent Anderson, also, upon whom
the brunt of the labor and management de
volves, has alway's shown himself abundant
ly competent for the proper discharge of his
manifold duties. In short, the road is ad
mirably officered and managed in every de
partment.
GEORGIA WATERING PLACES.
The writer, on his late trip, paid a passing
call at several of our watering placets
and health resorts, notably Indian Spring,
the two Salt Springs near the Georgia Pa
cific railroad, Marietta and Catoosa Springs.
All save the last mentioned have already
been noticed in your columns. It would be
a kindness, however, to the seeker after
health and recreation to state that at the
Sweetwater Park Hotel, Salt Springs,
Ga., he will not only find
luxurious accommodations, but from the
window’s of his own chamber may look
forth upon some of the most beautiful
scenery in the State. When the work of
grading, sodding and ornamenting the ex
tensive grounds has been completed, they
will compare with anything to be seen in
Saratoga.
Marietta, too, is a delightful summer
abode, and at the Whidlock House the
visitor has nothing left to be asked for.
CATOOSA SPRINGS
having been purchased by’ a w’ealthy syndi
cate is again open to the public under the
management of D. B. Ragsdale, of Chatta
nooga. The premises have been partially
repaired, but will not bo in complete readi
ness before next season. A limited number
of guests, only about 100, are all that can
he well provided for, Mr. Ragsdale says, at
present. Another year 500 may’ come," how
ever, and be entertained with ease. By that
time it is contemplated to have a railroad
te the station in operation, and all the cot
tages covered anew and in comfortable con
dition.
The writer chanced to strike the Springs on
the night when an excursion train came in
from Chattanooga laden with guests, and a
grand ball was on the programme. Tho
scenes at the station during the packing of
a long procession of hacks and wagons with
the fair ladies and their beaux from our
sister state, were most amusing. They were
stowed away near a dozen to each vehicle
with a capacity .for half that number,
and such squeezing, and screaming, ami
Joking, and chatting, wore never witnessed,
i ouj- scribe was wedged in with a brace of
charming young girls and enjoyed it huge
ly. The ball was a brilliant affair, and the
guests that night numbered over two hun
dred. Of course many had to rough it,
but everything was taken in good part, and
all seemed to enjoy themselves. The grounds
"JT Pettily illuminated with a multitude
of Chinese lanterns, and all “went merry as
a marriage boll - ’ until the gray of the early
morn, Every rose has its thorn, however,
ftnd the next day a party of elegantly at
tired ladies and gentlemen in an open

the station, were overtaken in one of the

that ever visited this section. One unbrella,
"Inch in a low moments became useless,

reached their destination without a dry
thread on their persons, perfectly soaked
and saturated. (Jharity makes us draw the

anoo of the ladies and their ruined toilets.
Doubtless nil the merry incidents of the ball
were effectually drowned out of existence
•>v the remorseless rain. Here we have an
illustration of the bright and lugubrious
tide of life.
Atlanta is the gateway to a majority of the
pleasure resorts of the Slate, and here the
traveler will find thrown wide open the hos

POLITICAL.
The Legislature is just getting down
squarely to work, and while many talk of a
long session, some of the most intelligent
niembei’s assert that if matters not germane
to the duties of the hour are ignored, and
the body confines itself to legitimate legis
lation, an adjournment may be effected in
side of forty days. We shall see.
THE VACANCY ON THE SUPREME BENCH.
In a pleasant interview with Senator Col
quitt, who has just returned from Wash
ington, he said at the eapitul it was gener
ally admitted that Secretary Lamar would
lie invited to fill the vacancy’ in the Su
preme Court. Mr. Cleveland will take his
time about it, howevor, and the appoint
ment would probably’ be withheld to a
later period.
W hen interrogated as to his own prospect
of becoming Mr. Lamar's successor, the
Senator emphatically replied that he had
never been an applicant for the position,
and on no occasion has the matter been
ever broached in his several conversations
with the President. True, his name hail
been suggested by influential parties, in con
nection with the Secretaryship of the In
terior, in the event of the retirement of Mr.
Lamar, but w’ithout his knowledge or con
sent, and it was doubtful whether the place
would be accepted even if it were tendered to
H. H. J.
BANKER HARPER’S CLERK.
Miss Josie Holmes and Her Confiden
tial Relation to the Fidelity Wrecker.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Miss Josie Holmes tripped lightly down
the great stone steps leading to the private
entrance of the jail early yesterday after
noon. Her request to see Mr. Harper was
granted, and in a few moments the banker
and his fair clerk were seated in Jailer Wil
liams’ parlor conversing. Theirs must have
been an interesting subject, for it was an
hour later when she was seen ascending the
jail steps.
Miss Holmes is a tall, handsomely formed
brunette, graceful and stylish. She is a
lady who would attract attention among
the prettiest, more for the regularity of her
features and her symmetrical development,
really, than for beauty of complexion, al
though she is strikingly’ pretty. Large dark
eyes flash forth glances that are as intelli
gent as the eyes are attractive. She is re
lated to some of the best families in this
city, but being of an independent disposi
tion has for years managed to look out for
herself. For several years she acted as an
amanuensis to Dr. N. B. Wolfe, and left
the doctor's employ to accept a position in
the Fidelity Bank under Mr. Har
per. Miss Holmes resides with her
mother in Avondale, in the resi
dence formerly occupied by Mr. Andrew
Silence. At the time the place was rented
Mr. Harper himself called and examined it.
Being satisfied with the choice, he paid
eighteen mouths’ rent down. It is supposed,
of course, that Miss Holmes afterwards
made good this expenditure The house
was taken with the privilege of purchasing.
The sum then asked was sfi,soo, though it
would require almost double that sum to get
the residence now. It is a pretty place, sur
rounded with a well-kept lawn and plenty of
shrubbery. The residence is neatly and
elegantly furnished, and the most complete
taste is observable in all of the appoint
ments. Miss Holmes has a younger brother,
who is studying at the Nelson Business Col
lege.
From the Enquirer, July 12.
A ivild rumor was afloat yesterday to the
effect that Miss Josie Holmes, the young
lady who formerly had charge of the ex
change desk in the Fidelity Bank, had been
arrested by the United States officers. There
was nothing in the rumor. Yesterday morn
•ing Miss Holmes met United State* District
Attorney Burnet at his office in the govern
ment building. The meeting was by an
arrangement made on Wednesday. There
have been ail sorts of reports con
necting the name of Miss Holmes with
that of Mr. Harper. The young woman’s
reputation has suffered some through
these reports. She has been quite ill for
several weeks post, and while there may
have been some basis for part of what has
been said, the attack upon a defenseless wom
an would appear cowardly, to say the least of
it. Miss Holmes has been benefited to an
extent by her acquaintance with Mr. Harper.
She was given a good position in the Fidelity
Bank, and, it is known, is quite well pasted
in regard to Mr. Harper’s actions. The
Enquirer a few days ago gave an
account of her being called before
Receiver-Armstrong at the bank. She
had bee" suspected of making away
with some money belonging to Harper and
of placing it where it would do the most
good for Harper. The authorities have been
of the opinion that she is in a position to
givo some important information, if she so
desires. She is known to have drawn up
some peculiar checks for the ex-financier,
regarding which no other person in the
hank knew anything, and the fact that her
books at the bank are in deplorable condi
tion has led to the opinion that she did much
to cover up the crooked transactions.
He was Well Posted on the Case.
From the. New York World.
“It seems to mo,” said ex-Judge Ditten
hoefer the other day, “it was a mistake to
let Mr. Sharp think he could be acquitted at
all, though I believe his attorneys were very
confident all along of their ability to get
him free. In their place I think I should
have told Mr. Sharp just what I told Sayles
when he came to me for advice.”
“To skip?”
“No, iudeed. I made a thorough exami
nation of the case, looked it over carefully
on all sides and then told him flatly that hi*
couldn’t be saved. The skipping part of it
i had nothing to do with. But I wasn’t
going to let him have any false ideas on the
subject of his trial, anil it was my duty to
tell him the exact truth. I would have de
fended him, of course, if he had wanted it,
but I could never have pulled him through
in the world. As for Sharp, the case was
sure to go against him unless he did like an
other client of mine. ”
“How was that?”
“Well, I once had to defend a man named
Meyer, who was sued for certain property
claimed to have been illegally transferred
by him. My clerk sent over one morning
from the court room saying the case was on,
and I went over to attend to it. The defend
ant was nowhere in sight, and I asked for
him. , ,
“ ‘There he is,’ said my clerk.
“ ‘Where?” I asked.
“The clerk pointed to the jury box, and
there, sure enough, sat my client, ready to
pass upon his own case. Newoombe was on
the other side, and I thought I would have
some fun with him. So I asked him to
postpone. He wouldn’t do it.
“ ‘Still,’ said I, ‘you won’t go ou with this
case to-day.’
“ ‘I must,’ he replied, ‘and that’s all there
is about it.’
“ ‘Hut you won’t,’ I went on.
“ ‘Oh, yes I will,’ said Newcombe, getting
a little red in the face.
' “ ‘l’ll bet you don’t,’ I continued.
“ ‘lndeed? And why notf
“I pointed to my man in tho jury-box,
and Newcombe nearly fell down, he was so
taken aback. The consequence was that my
client came very close being punished for
contempt. He had lieen drawn in the regu
lar course of jury-drawing, and was actually
put into this verv jury, quite without his own
connivance. When I asked him about it,
he said ho supposed it was all right. Then
I enquired how he exported to servo on his
own case.
“ ‘Why notr said he. ‘I should like to
know who is better posted about this case
than I am.’ ”

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JULY 19. 1887..
THE GRANDE CHARTREUSE.
WhatAthe Carthueian Monka Thought
of the Queen of England.
A Carthusian monk writes this to the Pall
Mall Gazette: The following extract from
the letter of a Carthusian monk to his niece
in Scotland, relative to the recent visit of
the queen to La Grando Chartreuse, has
been contributed to the eojumns of an even
ing paper. This monk is writing from an
other Chartreuse, but as his prior was at the
Grand Chartreuse when the queen visited
it, he is able to give the local view of the
royal visit:
“As you derive some pleasure from little
scraps of information aliout Her Majesty
the Queen, I feel no small degree of satis
faction in being able to tell you that I have
just learned all the particulars about the
royal visit to the Grande Chartreuse, and so
that singular event null form the subject of
the present letter. From what you told me
in your last letter, I see very well that the
substance of all that has been said by the
journals about the royal visit maybe very
accurately reduced to two simple points.
First, in order to receive her majesty, the
rules of the order were laid aside; and,
second, the queen refused to partake of the
hospitality that was humbly offered to her.
There is not so much as a single word of
truth in either the one or the other of these
two statements. They are both false—en
tirely false.
“Prom the days of St. Benedict such a
thing as a monastic rule about the admission
into, or the exclusion from, cloistered mon
asteries of either sex, has never been heard
of in the Catholic world. There is and al
ways has been a law—a general law—a law
made not by either monks or nuns, but by a
general council of the church of God, about
that very important matter. The law for
bids, under pain of excommunication, the
admission of men into the convents of clois
tered nuns, and the admission of women in
to the monasteries of monks who live se
cluded from the world. But the law very
expressly excepts both bishops and crowned
heads. No doubt when the law was made
the person of both kings and queens were
sacred. Then allj of them were Catholic,
a good number of them were saints, and the
possibility of ever beholding anywhere in
Europe, such a monster as a heretic king or
a heretic queen, was never dreamed of. The
religious revolution of the sixteenth century
gave birth to more than one of these mon
sters, but then - appearance in Christendom
made no change in the law. Its letter and
its spirit has always remained, and will
always remain what it was in the ages of
faith.
“It is quite true, then, that the foot of an
ordinary woman, or of an ordinary lady
has never crossed the threshold of the en
trance gate of the Grande Chartreuse, but
during the last 800 years a great number of
queens have visited and dined in the grand
old monastery. The daughter and succes
sor of the renown Gustavus Adolphus, was
one of them; Christino, of Sweden, was re
ceived into it just a short time before she
abdicated the crown and adjured Protestan
tism, and became a fervent child of the
Catholi c church. No rule, therefore, was
violated, no custom was momentarily for
gotten, no exception was made in favor of
her Britannic Majesty. Queen Victoria had
a perfect legal right to be admitted into the
old cloisters and to be conducted through
all the cells, and to be shown everything
which she wished to see from the top to the
bottom of the aged pile. But to be received
into cloistered convents, kings must be act
ually reigning; and to be admitted into
monasteries of the same kind, queens must
be actually reigning: so that were her maj
esty of England to aixiieate to-morrow, and
knock just the next day at the old gate of
La Grande Chartreuse, or that of any of
the houses of the order, she would not be al
lowed to cross the threshold of any of them.
When either kings or queens cease to reign
they fall into the category of private per
sons, and they are rigidly excluded. Such
is the law. it never has been, and never
will be changed.
“Her majesty remained in the monastery
about four hours. She did not dine, be
cause no notice of her visit had been sent
beforehand to the father-general, and so
there was no time for preparing a dinner
for the royal part}’. But the modest queen
partook very heartily of a collation, which
was composed of chocolate, biscuits, jellies
and confectioneries of various kinds. She
did more than that. She inquired of the
reverend father if any of her good people
from any of the three kingdoms were among
his children of the Grande Chartreuse; and
having learned that there was a young and
amiable Englishman actually in the convent,
she at once expressed a strong wish to visit
him in his own cell. (I do not now the
family name of the young man, but he is a
convert, an the son of an English Protes
tant clergyman.) Her majesty’s wish was
forthwith gratified. The father-general was
her pilot through the obscure windings of
the cloisters. The young son of St. Bruno
received his sovereign with great ease,
modesty and politeness. The good queen
was quite charmed. She sat down on an old
straw chair close by him, and chattered
maternally for nearly half an hour. She
piously recommended both herself and her
faithful subjects to his good prayers; and
she was so highly pleased with his edifying
conversation that she went the length- of
requesting him to givo her a lttle ‘souvenir’
which would enable her, after her return to
England, to recall to her mind the pleasure
she derived from her visit to him and the
Grand Chart reuse. Ho was the first Eng
lish cloistered monk to whom her majesty
had ever opened her royal lips. The young
son of St. Bruno at once presented to her a
small silver cruifix of very ancient date
and very fine workmanship. It was the
only thing of any value that ho had in his
cell. The Queen did not kiss the image of
her crucified Redeemer, but she gracefully
accepted it, placed it carefully in one of her
pockets, very affectionately bade farewell
to the young convert and in a very
short time alterward she departed from
the venerable cradle of the Carthusian
order.
“I received the knowledge of these little
facts and circumstances from the lips of our
own father, who lias just returned from the
chanter-general of the order, wdiieh is an
nually hold at the Grande Chartreuse. They
were communicated to him by the father
general, and so about their exactness and
certitude no room is left for the entertain
ing even the shallow of a doubt.”
London Society Journals.
From Correspondence of the World.
The society journals are the only news
papers in London which print anything like
gossip or free comment upon the actions of
royal people or of high officials, yet the so
ciety papers are divided into two classes—
tho effusively fulsome and the odiously vul
far. One class praises and writes on its
neos, using capital letters at every point
to show reverence and humility, while the
other stands up and indulges in coarse in
vective and abuse. Tile pa pel' which would
pursue the middle course and speak of cur
rent affairs with (mod nature and at tho same
time with carefulness us to truth and some
regard for decency would undoubtedly be
very jiopular. Tho society papers widen at
tack the higher classes, as they are generally
understood, dei>end almost entirely upon
their imagination for their facts. They toll
with the most glib familiarity the most pre
posterous stones of social life whore writers
for these parsers can by no possibility pene
trate. I notice that this week a number of
society rajiors dwell upon the fact that the
]ople who went to Westminister Abbey
upon the occasion of the Jubilee perform
\ anee talked, lnughed, chatted and lunched
as if they were at a picnic. There is not
the slightest semblance of truth in any of
these stories. I was in the Abbey from early
in the morning till the close of the cere
mony. There was the utmost decorum
maintained throughout. The majority of
the crowd was iti full dross; the formal dig
nity of the crowd corresponded with their
elaborate full dress. Thera was so much to
occupy the crowd in the way of arrivals
from time to time that there was very little
occasion for talkin'-. I think. considering
the way the people were packed together,
that the order maintained was very won
