A FIGHT WITH KNIVES.
Two Railroad Men of Atlanta Quarrel
Over an Egg.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. it*.—-To-night about
9 o'clock a cutting scrape occurred on
Forsyth street, near the corner of Marietta.
The participants were Bud Thrash, an en
gineer on the 11 estern and Atlantic rail
road, and John Sullivan, a machinist in that
company’s shops. The men while in a
saloon got into a quarrel, one of them
charging that the other had stolen
an egg which had been plaeed
on the counter to he used in
making an egg Hip. The saloonkeeper re
quested them to leave the house, which
thi v did. and the cutting occurred in the
Street. There were no witnesses, and
neither of the men is inclined to talk about
the difficulty. Thrash was cut in the side
of the neck twice, twice in the back of the
bead, and nlso over the forehead. Sullivan
was cut in the hand.
Ex-Representative Thomas 11. Kennon of
Milledgeville happened to be near the scene
of the' difficulty, and accompanying the
wounded man to a drug store assisted Dr.
Robert Westmoreland to dress the wounds.
While the gashes in Thrash’s head and neck
are long and deep, none of them are re
garded as of a fatal character.
DR. H. R. J. LONG DEAD.
He was One of the Most Prominent
Physicians of Athens.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 19. —Dr. H. R. J.
Long, a prominent physician of this city,
died yesterday morning of paralysis of the
brain. On account of poor health Dr. Long
was compelled to give up his practice about
a year ago, when he retired to his home,
hoping that rest would benefit him, but his
condition grew steadily worse, and declin
ing years "helped put his case beyond the
reach of medical skill. Dr. Long was born
in 1824, in Danielsville, Madison county,
lie was a graduate ol the university of
Georg.a, and also of the medical college of
Philadelphia. At the time of his deat i he
owned a largo plantation near this city, and
was a prominent member of the hoard of
trustees of Lucy Cobb Institute. The
funeral services were conducted this after
noon at the First Presbyterian church, of
which he was a member.

BLECKLEY NOT TO RESIGN.
The Bill Now Before the Legislature
Will Lighten tho Work,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19. —Justice Bleck
ley says that there is no truth in tho rumor
which his been in circulation for several
days to the effect that he will resign from
the supreme court bench. He thinks that
the rumor got out from the fact that the
work is entirely too onerous for two
judges, there being only two at
present, owing to the illness of
Justice Blanford. B Thore is a bill now before
the legislature, which he thinKS will be
passed, by which tho governor will be em
powered to appoint a circuit court judge to
sit during the illness of any member of the
Bench. If this bill is passed and the law
goes into effect, tho work will be made
much easier.

A LAGRANGE MAN S SUGGESTION.
He Proposes that Gen. Harrison Be
Invited to Visit the South.
LaGranoe, Ga., Nov. 15. —Editor Morn
ing News: As good democrats it was our
duty to oppose tho election of Harrison
with all cmr power, and naturally he must
feel somewhat irritated against the section
that went solidly against him.
Would it not boa good move to invito
Mr. Harrison to visit the south as the guest
of the democratic party, and thereby show
respect for his personal character aid for
the P—-siGent-eloot of the United States?
Should he come and mako the aequaiulAiice
of the respectable white people of the south,
as represented by the Democratic party
and its leaders, he would surely lie hotter
disposed to us, and it would show that we
are not disloyal, mid will not lie hostile to
his odministratieu if ho is not hostilo to tho
south. A. 8.

PEACHES AND POLITICS,
As Discussed by Mr. John H. Parnell.
From the A flan la {'la.) Constitution.
West Point, Ga„ Nov. 17.—“ The Geor
gia peach now has an European reputation,”
said Mr. John H. Parnell thisevening, while
narrating the incidents of a trip across the
Atlantic. “When I was coming out of the
room wherein the investigation of the
London times' charges against my brother,
Charles 8. Parnell, was in progress, I was
slapped on the shoulder, and turning, found
Sir Charles Russell at my elbow.”
“ ‘Have you brought over any peaches
with you?” lie asked.
“Sir Charles then told with what ex
pressions of delight the members of parlia
ment gathered around several crates which
I had shipped to my brother during the
recent session.”
THE TIMES’ CHARGES.
“You paid ;ome attention to the investi
gation of the charges against your broth
er?”
"Yes I was present with him at several
sittings of the court. They have no case
whatever against him. They can no more
connect him with offenses committed ty
country people in Ireland than they could
with similar offenses here. The whole in
vestigation was gotten up in the hope of
injuring the Irish cause. The
action of the court in compelling the
production ot admittedly forged letters
which had been hawked ’7about, will show
the true oharae'er of th -Jwnolo pr iceoding.
I was present when Captain O'Shea made
his alleged disclosures. He was an unwill
ing witness, and completely broke down in
the role of informer, which he essayed to
play. The effort of the prosecution now is
to delay the finding in the case as long as
possible!”
“For what purpose!”
“The fate of the ministry is wrapped up
in the decision of t e case. While it ap
pears as the case of the Times, it is really
the case of Lori Salisbury’s cabinet. The
attorney general is the counsel for the
Times, thus showing how close tho
union is. An adverse decision to
tho Times will put the ministry in
such a plight before tho country that its dis
solution will follow. Ir is because of this
knowledge that every effort will be made by
the government to secure delays, and to
muddy the issues. As sura as the decision is
rendered in favor of my brother, the min
istry will have to go, and with the advent of
Mr. Gladstone into power will come home
rule for Ireland.”
THE PEOPLE IMPROVED.
“Will home rule really benefit the peo
ple?"
“There can be no doubt about it. Already
tho agitation has done the c untry good.
The refusal of the tennnnts to pay unjust
rents has resulted already in such reduc
tions that the tenants are doing remarkably
well. The commission, too, is doing much
under the sours of the plan of campaign.
The tenant farmers are now a thrifty,
independent class, beginning to save
money, and no long r taking the middle of
the r ad when a lord comes along, nor
putting their hats under their arms when
tiie squire comes along. There is some
bitterness now between tho wage-wor ers
and the tenant farmers. Under the old
system all the big estates were burdened
with pensioners and family servants who
are no longer wanted. They fattened off
the landlord. Now that the tenant farmer
keeps soifae of the fat for himself, these pen
sioners have to seek other means of liveli
hood. Their loss, however, is compensated
for by tiie independence and manhood of
the tenant, and in time all things will be
adjusted.
“In material development the country is
also progressing. My brother is now work
ing a stone quarry in Arklow, where he
employs 300 men. There aro gold mines in
Wexford, winch aro also being located and
worked. The woolen industry is growing,
and the dealers expect to make large im
portations of woole i goods to America.
Several woolen firms have solicited me to
represent them here.
THE GEORGIA PF.ACH.
“But,” said Mr. Parnell, there is nothing
to equal the Georgia peach. I have now
liO.OOO trees in bearing, and just before
I left for Ireland I set aside 2 0 acres
to be planted this fall. In 1*72, after bav
ing traveled ove" the union, 1 decided that
midlo Georgia and middle Alabama fur-
nished the best fruit country in the world.
I started peach culture here with lit
tle knowledge of t o varieties suited to
the climate, or best adapted to trans
portation. For several years I failed, but
every year brought experience of the great
est value. By degrees 1 discovered what
kind of trees were best adapted to the
climate. I have also mastered the question
of transportation. The great secret is to
have trees which bear in July. In that
month the earliest and poorest peaches of
Delaware and Maryland are flooding the
markets of the north. Just think of tho
juicy Alberta peach from Georgia making
its way into market among such com
petitors! In August the northern peach
crop is on, so that our chance is iu July.
Last year I sent a consignment of Albertas
to New York city. The crates held from 24
to 36 peaches. They sold for $2 each. On
the same day I sold three Thurhers at $1 75
and Stonewalls at $1 25. Tho market, at
these prices for good peaches, is practically
unlimited. Instead of wanting the field to
myself, I am anxious that all my neighbors
should engage in peach culture.
THE MARKET A LARGE ONE.
“If there wero growers enough at work
the south could give tho north an assured
supply of this luscious fruit, and the return,
for the outlay, would exceed that of cotton.
My experience in grafting up a tree which
could produce fruit sufficiently firm for
shipment, and yet losing none of
the juiciness which so captivates
tho palate, has been entirely success
ful. The Alberta peach, which matures
the first J week in July, for size,firmness and
excellence of flavor is really the queen. A
tree in bearing is a puricturo to look upon,
rivaling tho golden orange of Florida as it
hides its fruit m its foliage of dark green. The
Thurbor is another fine true, its fruit com
ing into market at tho proper time. There
are several other varieties equally good,
w hich can bo relied upon for regular pro
duct.”
“Why do some people fail in peach cult
ure?’ Mr. Parnell was asked.
“Because they plant from northern nurse
ries. The tr<>es are utmcilimated, and it is
no wonder they do not do welt. It takes
tune to produce a tree native to the soil, but
when you have produced it, it is then as
certain as worldly things can hope to be.”
Uis Mid-ocean Mall.
Fvnm the Pittsburg Disjtatrh.
Here is a pleasant recipe which can be
commended to wives whose husbands cross
the sea without them.
On the first night out, just as my vis-a vis
whs sitting down to dinner in the saloon of
the City of Now York, n stewart stepped up
to him and handed him a letter, saving;
“With the captain's compliments, sir.”
Every nignt this performance was re
jieated. Sometimes the captain himself
presented tho letter. It was mysterious and
interesting. The gentleman who received
the letter seemed to be greatly astonished
when it came to him on the first occasion,
but afterwards he merely showed signs of
enjoyment in reading its contents. He was
a verv delightful man ami a great favor
ite at our table, but though everybody was
dying to know where the letters came from
nobody had impudonoe enough to ask.
But on the day before we reached New
York I happened to be standing on the
companion way with this gentleman, when
tho captain presented the letter and the
former said, as he tore open the envelope:
"(jueoi idea of my wife’s, isn’t itl She sent
the captain seven letters addressed to me
and asked him to deliver one to me every
evening before dinner. She thought I
would be glad to hear from her every dav,
ami 1 tell you it has been one of the pleas
nntest events of the voyage, this mail de
livery in mid-ocean.”

the richest in the world.
Miss Rhinelander of New Yorlc Is
Worth Fifty Millions.
Special to the American.
New York, Nov. 12.—The title of the
wealthiest unmarried woman in America
has been at different times bestowed upon
no less than a half doz-u different women
living in different parts of the country.
Miss Mary Garrett owned the honor for
some time, till someone discovered that the
Misses Drexel of Philadelphia were
each the owners of a larger fort
une than had fallen to the daughter
of tho great Baltimore railroad magnate.
Then it was current news that a daughter
of John D. Rockafeller of Brooklyn was
really the wealthiest woman in America.
Afterward the honor went to Cincinnati.
Bat it appears by the records of a recent
transfer of property made in New York that
the title really belongs to a lady of this city,
of whose enormous wealth no one had any
proper idea. The richest unmarried woman
in America is Miss Julia Rhinelander.whose
wealth exceeds $50,000,000, mostly iu New
York real estate and mortgages.
Compared with Miss Garrett, of Balti
more; the Misses Drexel, of Philadelphia, or
Miss Rockafellor, of Brooklyn, Miss Rhine
lander has been considered a comparative
pauper, and not till a recent day was it
known that she was the possessor of un
counted millions. Miss Rhinelander is not
only the richest marriageable woman iu
America, but is probably the wealthiest
woman in the world. Now that the extent
of her wealth has been made public, the
bachelors are asking about her personal
I leant}'. A proper regard for the truth
compels the statement that the lady is by
no means beautiful. She is, besides, oil the
shady side of thirty—a matter that will
probably go for little with the handsome
fellows who would like to marry fortunes.
Tho characteristic of the Indy is her desire
not to lie counted rich publiely. For some
time she succeeded in concealing the fact
that she is enormously rich, and is reported
to have been great ly embarrassed when the
legal necessity for disclosing the value of her
possessions arose. But, now that tho fact is
established that 9he is fifty times a million
aire, it w;uld seem that the much agitated
question as to who is the richest unmar
ried woman in America has be in fully
settled.
It is needless to add that there have been
of late innumerable requests for an intro
duction to Miss Rhinelander, whose aversion
to notoriety lias almost caused her to retire
absolutely from society. Her name is
seldom seen in tho pa; ere, although she is
fl coded with invitations of every sort. She
would certainly be a great catch for one of
those gay New York creatures whose
capacity for Spending money far exceeds
their ability at earning it.
Miss Julia’s exact age is 31.

THE FORESTRY CONGRESS.
how the Augusta Floods are Caused.
Apropos of the coming forestry congress,
which Atlanta will make one national body
out of two heretofore existing in the north
and south, it is said that the Augusta flood
will give local point and timeliness to the
discussion which has heretofore been re
garded by many people in this state as a
speculation in futures.
It is said that the forests on the moun
tains of East Tennessee nea" Knoxville
have been bought up by English syndicates
who are cutting off the timber, and the de
nuding of the mountains has caused a great
increase in the rainfall and much more
rapid flow of the streams which go to swell
the Savannah river.
The same holds goods in less degree with
the freshets of Rome, West Point and
Columbus, and the delegates from these
sections will doubtless have something to
say on the subject.
Since a local weather service in the rainy
seasons has become almost a necessity for
these places it has been suggested that this
feature be combined with toe measure in
troduced in the legislature last year for the
protection of the forests of the state. It is
well known that t e principal damage done
in Georgia bv floods has i.eendue to the lack
of timely warning to elevate goods.
A simple system of weather gauges on the
headwaters of the streams would .make it
possible to ascertain with close approxima
tion the extent of the rainfall on the water
shed within a given time, and the hight to
wnieh the flood would rise.
The attendance on the convention will be
about IKJO. The secretary of the Pennsyl
vania forestry bureau has w ritten that Gov.
Beaver of Pennsylvania may com.
Mrs. Jefferson Dnvis has written a paper,
to be read at tho meeting of the congress,
which she devotes principally to trees far
shade and ornameutal purposes.
Advice to Mothers
Mas. Winslow’s Sootuino Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once;
it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very
pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, soft
ens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,
regulates the bowels, and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents
a bottle.
