Chief Fireman Fernandez returned last, night from the Convention of Fire Chiefs at Atlanta. He was accompanied by Chief Kevins, of Brooklyn, N. Y., ( hief Brierlv, of Pawtucket, H. 1., Chief Worrell, of Woonsocket, R. 1., and Mr. D. B. Collier, of the Clapp <Y Jones Steam Fire Engine Company, of New York, who are on their way North from the convention, and will leave Savannah to-day. The convention adjourned Thursday night and most of tho visiting chiefs left yes terday morning for their homes. It was generally admitted that it, was the best convention that, has ever been held since the association was organized, fifteen years ago. Chief Fernandez speaks of the closing banquet at the Kimball House as an elegant affair, and he says that the meeting cannot fail to result in much good. The next convention will lie held in Minneapolis in 1888. Capt. Joyner, the new President of the association, is an Atlantian and in every way a popular man. He was born in Cobb county on June 80, 1835, and is consequently in his 83d year. W hen a mere lad he removod to Atlanta anil lias resided there ever since. Before the organization of the paid fire depart ment ('apt. Joyner was one of the “laddies.” For twelve years he was one of the volun teer firemen. In those veal's he made ail enviable reputation ;is a dauntless fighter of fire. The brave acts he has done in his at, tempts to save property and life would, if described, make a thrilling chapter. 11l 18*3 it was the desire of ( apt. Joyner's friends to see liipi placed in control of the Atlanta fire department, and they besought him to accept the position. They could not, however, induce him to accent,. Two years later lie was elected chief and accepted the place. His ability was immediately shown. He began improving the depart ment in a variety of particulars. Sundry reforms were introduced, and all the com panies constituting the force were strength cued, and, in every way, improved. The Atlanta fire department owes its efficiency mainly to the indefatigable and wise exer tions of its present head. Borne years ago ('apt. Joyner became a member of the National Association of Engineers and his influence for the good of that organization was soon felt. Chief Fernandez is one of the Vice Presi dents of the Association, and took an active part in the convention. AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.

New Orleans Given 12 Bases on Balls But Only Gets Two Runs. New Orphans, Bejit. 24.—New Orleans Niic,-ceded in shutting Charleston out again to-day, but it was an exciting game. Powell objected to Wells’ umpiring and James Gilthorpe. who umpired iu the old days of straight pitching, was given a chance at his own earnest solicit* linn. He treated both pitchers badly in the matter of balls, and the crowd guyed him. In the third inning lie called a foul tip a strike, and, as Childs let it go, New Orleans scored a run. Charleston kicked justly and stopped playing. Manager Brennan spoke plainly to the Charlestons about the deal re ceived at Charleston, but in a spirit of fair ness put in Wells to umpire. Wells gave them no chance to complain. In the next inning Bradley got a phantom, stole second and scored on a hit that bounded through Doyle's legs. This was really the only run made in the game, The tielding on both sides was superb. Doyle’s being the only error at a critical point. Shea, a local twirler, late of the Kansas Citys, pitched for ('harlestou and was very effective, but very wild, giving twelve bases nti balls, hut only two actual hit*. Widner was also effective, only six hits being made off him. Vaughn’s catching and Hines’ fielding were features. Two games will tie played to-morrow. The score by innings follows: New Orleans 0 0 1 1 0000 0— 2 Charleston 00 000000 0— 0 Base hits New Orleans 14, Charleston 6. Batteries -Widner and Vaughn, Shea and Childs.

The Georgia Midland is miming a passen ger train to McDonough. The parties who sutiscrilied tile *15,000 at this place for the road, a McDonough special says, are very much displeased ut the action of the officials in giving the Central road the schedule from Atlanta to Columbus. They regard the Georgia Midland as bring worthless to McDonough in its present condition. Notice has been published in Columbia, K.

From the Xete York Tribune. Jim Bumbler lias never heen credited with much sense, but somehow he manages to get more enjoyment out of life than many whose phrenological bumps are all of first class character, and collectively require the largest sized hat to cover them. A friend of his when appealed to for an explanation of the phenomena said: “It's all because the darned fool don't know any better.” If this conclusion be logically derived from sound premises it shows that the popu lar notion that education is going to bring about tlie greatest, happiness for the great est number is all wrong. There is the germ of an idea here which if subjected to the proper sort of incubation, ntignt lie hutched into a profoundly physiological, sociological and soporifical essay for some scientific magazine. But here one can only show up Jim Bumbler himself. He used to repair to a saloon every even ing to get a glass of lager beer, and the drinking of it seemed to yield hint most ex quisite enjoyment But of late it Inis l>een observed th it he carries his beer away in a pitcher, li n mail of such steady habits as “Jim," this departure from his accustomed ways has excited sonic attention, and his friends deputed one of their number to ob tain a solution of the mystery. So one evening when Jim brought in his pitcher for his Deer, he put it to him straight, thus: “Say, wot’s yer working’ the growler fori” “Hist,” replied Jim, “can’t give it away here; ’splain when I get outside; big thing.” Jim paid He for a pint of beer, and when they had fairly left the saloon behind them thus gave his explanation: “1 used to pay sc. for a glass of beer every night. For He.*l get a pinl o’ lieer. When there ain’t too much froth that has four glasses. That’s at the rate of 3c. a glass; 3c. a glass cheaper ’n what I’d pay for it, across the bar. Well, [ drink those four glasses each night an’ save 3c. on each glass. That's savin’ 13c. a night. .Multiply that by .‘165 an’ you get a savin’ of $l3 HO a vear. That's what I’m a do ! n’ ami that's how I’m a gettin’ rich. !See the point ! ’ “Yes; y’ve a big head.” “You bet, but don’t give itnwny to every body, ’eus the saloon keepers’d catch on an’ shut down on it.” The committee of one gave the desired promise, and Jitn’s friends are more than ever convinced that his happiness is all due to the fact that “thedarnel fool don't know any better.” ‘Buchu-Paiba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases.
