2 GEORGIA'S CAPITAL CITY. Atlanta University Apt to Forfeit the SB,OOO Appropriation. Atlanta, Ga., Dee. a—The indications are that the agitation of the co-education of the races question in the last Legislature, growing out of the Glenn bill, is about to result in a clash between the State and the Atlanta University, at least so far as it re lates to the annual appropriation of SB,OOO. The Glenn bill gave way to a kind of com promise resolution, originating in the Senate Committee on Education, which was ap proved Sept. 211. The resolution directed the Governor not to draw a warrant for the annual appropriation to Atlanta University trader the act of March 3, 1874, until a plan of expenditure that will secure the exclusive use of the same for the education of colored children only, in accordance with the declared and settled policy of the State on the subject of co-edu cation, has been submitted to, and approved by, the commission constituted in the act for the supervision of State appropriations, and further that the commission l>e in structed to see that the fund is faithfully applied according to the plan of expendi ture, and in no other way. The commission consists of the Chancellor of the State Uni sity and two University trustees, Atlanta University recently furnished the com mission a plan of expenditure, which while not abandoning co-education in that institution gave a pledge that the State's appropriation should not bo used for the benefit of white children, which it is evident would in no way change the status of things. The commissioners returned the plan of expenditure without approval on the ground that it did not comply with the resolution. The News correspondent has this information unofficially and is unable to state further concerning the re sult, except that if Atlanta University ad heres to the plan proposed it must forfeit the appropriat ion. In such an event there is at present no provision for diverting the appropriation to another colored institution, and it would remain in the treasury till further consideration of the matter by the Legislature. CLAIMS OF THE KNIGHTS. Prominent Knights of labor claim to have been largely instrumental in electing the municipal ticket yesterday. They made no effort to run an independent ticket, but went into the campaign with the Antis, and had three Knights on the winning ticket. They intimate that hereafter in Atlanta politics the same course will be pursued. They emphasize the scheme by the defeat of the straight labor ticket in Augusta yester day. Atlanta tariff reformers, and the city is full of them, were highly gratified to-day with the intelligence that Mr. Carlisle had signified his acceptance of the invitation to visit this city and deliver an fuidress on the tariff. A letter from Senator Colquitt, re ceived today, conveyed the intelligence that Mr. Carlisle would be here on Jan. 23. He has also accepted a similar ipvitation from the business men of Macon, and will make a tariff speech there on the following day. The following Supreme Court decisions were handed down to-day: Donelson vs. Dodd; from Bartow. Affirpied. Bowen e- al. vs. the Mayor and Aldermen of Grej Asboro. Reversed. Hudson et al. vs. Hawkins, Ordinary of Forsyth county. Reversed. william lowry dead. William Lowry, senior member of the banking firm of William & R. K.

A False Report to the Effect that He Has Softening of the Brain. Pensacola, Fla., Dec. 8.-— The follow ing telegram, having appeared in the New Orleans Picayune of yesterday, may cause some anxiety among the friends of Gov. E. A. Perry: A startling minor circulated to-dsy is to the effect that Gov. Perry, who is now lying ill at his residence in this city, is affected with soft - ening of the brain. All attempts to trace the report to an authentic source havo failed, but the fault lies in the fact that nobody will say anything on the subject, for nobody has denied the assertion. The Advance-Gazette of to-day inter viewed Dr. William H. Ross, the physician of Gov. Perry, who publishes over his name the following card: Pensacola, Fla., Deo. 8, 1887. Frank Phillips. Esq.: Dear Silt—Your note calling my attention to the telegram in the New Orleans Picuva ne to the effect that Oov. Perry is suffering from “softening of the brain" is to hand. In reply, I will say there is no truth whatever in the state ment. The Governor has been overworked, and is suffering from an attack of malaria. He is improving steadily, and will lie able in a short time to resume his duties at Tallahassee Very truly yours, William H. Koss, M. 1). A special venire of seventy-five men has been summoned for to-morrow, from which the Circuit Court will select a jury to try Jeff Low for the murder of H. C. Smith, which oecuri'ed on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, lietween this city and Whiting, Ala., last May. CRACKSMEN MAKE A HAUL. They Break Open a Safe at Greenyllle and Secure $1,6.0. Columbus, Ga., Dec. B.—-Last night at Greenville, Ga., about 11 o’clock the safe of J. T. Williams was broken open, and the hinges and combination lock knocked off with a hammer. The money vault inside wa* (lied into, severing the lock. About $1,500 was stolen belonging to Mr. Williams and T. A. Andrews, a cotton buyer. There is as yet no clew to the thief. In Muscogee Superior Court to-day sev eral parties were sent to the chain-gang for short terms. Martin Diffley, Henry Cham bers, Mack Barker and John Barr, were ac quitted of a misdemeanor. St. Augustine's Enterprise. Bt. Augustine, Fla., Pec. B.—Mr. Con fle’.d. President of the Ht. Augustine Im provement Company, left for the North yesterday to confer with W. J. Warden, one of their largest stockholders, regarding an electric street railway for this city. It will probably be built. Work will" soon begin on the water park. Fully SIOO,OOO will be expended on it. The famous Cosa Monica will be finished by Jun. 1 and will he a grand structure. FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS. Meeting ot the County Commissioners —Theft cf a Revolver. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. B.—The County Commissioners were in session to day. The most important business outside of the routine line was the opening of bids for the addition to the new court house. The iron work bids averaged $13,000 and the mason work SB,OOO, making $20,000 to $23,000 for the job complete. Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati parties competed. All the bids wore referred to a committee to report Saturday. The bids for the addi tion to the County Clerk’s office averaged $5,125 to $0,500. Among the passengers on the steamship Cherokee Tuesday was a young man named Edwin Marco. He was well dressed and seemed respectable in everyway. He took up his quarters at Mrs. D. C. Pratts’, No. 115 West Adams street. Last night, owing to the house being crowded, she put Marco in a room with another young man, a Mr. Steele. Early this morning Marco arose and rumaging around discovered a hand some silver-mounted revolver belonging to Mr. Steele, and left at once with it. The theft was discovered soon after, but Marco could not lie found. At noon to-day Mrs. Pratt, while walking down Bay street, spit'd Marco, but lie wholly denied all knowledge of her, and started to run. A hundred people instantly gave chase and he was caught. He then gave up the re volver anil was taken to Justice Magill’s office. Other articles are missing at Mrs. Pratt’s. At an examination before the J ustice ho begged for mercy, and as Mrs Pratt declined to prosecute him he was re leased. Marco was here last year as a waiter at a hotel and was engaged this season. He gave no excuse for his uncalled for theft. TAX LICENSE CASES. In Judge Jones’ court to-day only the famous tax license cases were considered. Sixty-eight were nolle pressed, eight con tinued, and G. H. Jacoby and Ivors & Cos. were ordered arrested and to furnish SIOO bail or go to jail. H. Berlack was fined $lO and costs. The following order was signed in the United States Circuit Court by Judge Settle to-day: “As there is no money in the hands of the Marshal to pay fees for United States witnesses, it is impossible to continue busi ness on the criminal side of this court with the proper presentation of the government cases. It is therefore ordered by the court that the grand jury and all witnesses heretofore announced to appear at this term of court on behalf of the United States tie and they are hereby discharged until the first Monday in Janu ary next.” In the case of Bella H. Johnson, administratrix, against the Atlantic and West India Transit Company et al., the complainant’s petition to file a bill was de nied. The defendants are to recover costs from the complainants. The motion to file a bill in the case of the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company against the Florida Railway and Navigation Company was also denied. A DEMOCRATIC TJPKET. The Democratic City and County Ex ecutive Committees held a two hours’ secret session this afternoon and formulated the following ticket: For Mayor: Frank W. Pope. For Aldermen l First ward, John Coniff and Rufus A. Russell; Second ward, W. T. Delaporte and C. W. Kinne: Third ward, Gus Muller and Dexter Hunter; Fourth ward, B. H. Hopkins and J. A. Huau; Fifth ward, C. R. Bisbee and D. G. Ambler; Sixth ward. W. A. Middleton and T. J. Baya; Seventh ward, F. F. l’Enirle and John H. Stephens; Eighth ward, Stephen Weggins and John E. Spearing; Ninth ward, E. W. Gillen and C. Hopkins. Being a party ticket it will have good support, but the Knights of Labor are a strong factor and will probably object to it. The Republicans will put out a party ticket also, it is rumored, and the “harmony dish” is all upset. A monster mass meeting is called for to morrow night at the park to indorse the ticket. The feeling to-night is that to > many irons are in the fire. The probabili ties are that the fight will be made in each ward, upsetting all the carefully prepared plans of the politicians. The City Council to-night appointed judges and inspectors of election, and ordered that the official regis tration list be used. A New Cotton Mill. Athens, Ga., Dec.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1887. SNYDER’S LONG WALK ENDED. Death of the Man Who Tramped for Three Years Unceasingly. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. s—Owen Sny der, who has tieen walking for three years, and whose death has been already an nounced had a strange affliction, which was without precedent, so far as known, and all efforts of scientific men to afford re lief to the suffering victim were unsueces ful. Doctors say that it was an hallucina tion, and not physical disease that troubled him. hut whatever its nature, its powerful hold upon the man eould not lie shaken. Only a few days ago be told the story of the beginning and growth of his affliction, as he staggered along in the deeply worn path about his old fashioned log cabin. He said that in the summer of 1884, while at work in the harvest field, he was at tacked with a cramping sensation in his arms. The pain was intense, and after vainly endeavoring in various ways to ob tain relief he began to exercise his arms, and found that the feeling disappeared. He resorted to more vigorous exercise, and found in it absolute relief from the pain, hut when his exertions ceased the sensation returned. He would chop or saw wood for hours without intermission. During this attack, which lasted at first only a few hours, the entire strength of his body seemed to centre in the muse’es of his arms, and he would cut a cord of wood out of the hardest timber in two hours. When night came ho would continue his exercise with a scrubbing brush at the house, until, as he expressed it, he wore the pain out. For three months he suffered in this way, but at last the sensation disappeared, and for a few days he was a well man again. In a short time, however, the feeling devel oped in his feet and legs. Then he was seized with an uncontrollable desire to walk, and, finding that constant exercise was his only means of relief, he kept on in his tramping, which, in three years’ time lengthened into a journey of 20,(KM) miles. During the first two years he walked about four miles an hour, hut recently he has tot tered along at the rate of little more than a mile an hour. He greatly preferred the open air, and, except during the most in clement weather, walked in a path about his humble house that had been worn down to a depth of nearly eight inches. In the house he walked in a circ e, and his course around the stove in his cabin is visible by the furrow he has worn in the floor. During the three years of his tramp he did not take a meal with his family. He ate from a large pan strapped in front of him. Upon this pan was also placed his shaving cup and razor, and he shaved him self while walking. He wouM fall asleep while walking about 11 o’clock at night, and, upon being directed to a chair, would sleep in an upright position for thr e or four hours. He frequently arose while still asleep, and, leaning against one of his sons, who attended him at all times, continued his weary tramp. When changing his clothing he did not cease walking, but his garments were placed within reach, and he seized one after another as he passed around. The first summer after his waiking mania developed he attempted to turn it to ac count by ploughing. He went to a field where his son was engaged in breaking the ground, and after following behind in a fur row for some time, asked permission to hold the plough. The son stepped aside. All wont well for several rods, and a feeling of exultation was coming over the great walker at the contemplation of the fact that he was at least able to aid a little in cultivating his farm. Suddenly, however, the plough became fastened in the roots of a tough hickory stump, and the hoyse stopped. Snyder was unable to do likewise, and dropping the lines, continued his tramp across the field, while his son. who had waited in expectation of some such occur rence, unfastened the plough and resumed work. Lost winter Snyder was induced to go on exhibition in museums in Chicago, Indian apolis, St. Louis and Cincinnati for a jieriod of aliout four months, for which ho was mid enough to comfortably support his family in their simple way of living for five or six years. In making the trip from one city to another he kept up his tramp back and forth in a baggage car during the journey. “Can’t you lie down to rest!” a reporter asked him. “I have been able to lie down but once in three years, and then only for an hour. It made me so tired and lame that I was com pelled to run afterward for five hours to feel easy again.” "Did you call a physician when your affliction first developed f' “Yes; one was sent for and came. He tried to convince me that the trouble was in my head and not in my feet and legs at all. 1 told him I did not need his services, and he left. At least fifty doctors have visited me, and as many more examined me. Every one of them could tell exactly what ailed me, and every one differed. I have no con fidence in doctors.” SAW HER HUSBAND DROWNING. Rising From a Sick Bed, She Tried to Save Him, But Was Too Late. from the New York World. Ottawa, Dec. 8. —John Benoit, of North Bay, who had been absent from home at Bonsteel’s Point, started to return on Thurs day last, but when within one hundred yards of the shore where his hut stands, he found thick ice, which prevented his going ahead with his bark canoe. With an ax he began cutting a channel, but had not pro ceded far when the ax fell from his hands into the water. He then started to crawl on hands and knees towards the shore, but broke through the ice. When twenty feet from the shore he became exhausted. From a sick bed in the hut his wife had witnessed his struggles through a window, and unable to contain herself longer rushed out of the house in her night clothes, with out shoes or stockings, on to the ice and res cued him. He was unconscious, and for over three hours she endeavored to keep him alive by rubbing and keeping his body warm in the hope that help would come, but he died at 11 o’clock at night. Seeing that life was extinct she started with the youngest child in her arms for the nearest neightior’s five mibs distant, where help was secured. Mi's. Benoit was badly frozen and is novy in a very critical condition. Several times during her journey through the woods she lay down in the snow, feeling unable to go farther.

Vigor begins to decline when dyspepsia in vades the stomach. The disease, prolonged through neglect, entails grievous loss of flesh and serious waste of the muscular tissue. To invigorate thoroughly and speedily, a sound stomachic is required. There is none compara ble to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, since it in stitutes, and, if continued, perpetuates a repair of the tissues, which have declined in bulk, vigor and elasticity in consequence of non assimilation of the food. No time should be lost in beginning the reparative process, nor should there lie any delay in removing those ailments of frequent occurrence, which con tribute to and foster an enfeebled condition of the stomach and nerves, viz.: constipation and liver complaint, disorders which the Bitters will assuredly extinguish, it, also remedies and pre vents malarial and kidney troubles, aud is a prime auxiliary in the recovery of strength for convalescents trom wasting disease.
