Mercer presided to—night as toast master at the bar association banquet at the Arling ton hotel, and thus concluded his tenure of office as vre ide .t of the association. He has presided with dignity and ability over the sessions of the convention, and added to the already high esteem in which he is held by the members of the bar. The session of the convention to-day was an interesting one, and several valuable papers were submitted. THE UNANIMITY RULE IN JURIES. The most important paper, and the one most discu-s. and among the members, was one by Hon. F. D. Peabody of Columbps. on the "unanimity rule in making verdicts,” in which he advocated amending the law so that a less number than twelve might make a verdict. Ihe report of Chairman R. VV. Patterson of Macon, for the committee on memorials, in wnich Thomas R. K. Cobb was eulogized as the greatest Georgia lawyer, and the re port of Hon. Walter B. Hill on interstate commerce, were notable papers. The committee on nominations recom mended Macon as the next place of meeting, but Hon. F. D. Peabody came armed witn invitations from the bar association, the city council and the boa and of trade of Co lumbus, and after a spirited fight carried the next convention to Columbus. THE NEW OFFICERS. The officers elected are: President—F. H. Miller of Augusta Vice Presidents—Marshall J. Clarke, C. N. Featherstone, P. W. Meldrim, M. P. Reese, and George D. Thomas, Secretary—John W. Aiken. Treasurer —J. D. Harrison of Atlanta Executive Committee —T. J. Chappell, F. D. Peabody, L. F. Garrard, Dupont Guerry and B. P. Hollis. At the banquet to-night Hon. P. W. Meidrim responded to the toast, “The Georgia Bar Association,” in a happy ms i ner, and Chief Justice Bleckley, Judge Marshall J. Clarke, Justice Mark Bland ford, George Dudley Thomas, P. A. Stovall, J. W. Aiken and others responded to senti ments proposed. DEATH IN THE HONEYMOON. The Loss of Mrs. Dunwody of Bruns wick Peculiarly Sad. Brunswick, Ga., May 16.—One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Bruns wick in years was that on yesterday of Mis. Harry F. Duuwody, wife of one of Bruns wick’s prominent young attorneys. The marriage of this young couple occurred in January. Toe bride was Miss Eu'a Brown of Atlanta. No young couple ever began life with brighter prospects. The bride was young, fceautifi.l, and greatly beloved. The groom is honorable ad popular. Five days ago Mrs. Duuwody l ecame ill. No ala’m was felt by her husband aud f, ieuds,but Wednes day her ill ess grew serious, and at 6 o’clock yesterday morning she died. Mrs. Duuwody’s mother, who was then in Cin cinnati, aud Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, a relative who was in Augusta, were tele graphed for, and arrived to-day. The f neral will take place to-morrow from the Methodist church. ATHENIAN ATHLETES. The University fctudente Not to Con test With the Civilian a Athens, Ga., May 16,—A full meeting of the University Athletic Association was held at their hail on the campus this after noon. The meeting was very important, as it will be the last one held by the associa tion this season. The time of the old offi cers had expired and new ones were elec.ed. They are as follows: President—Jesse Coates of Baltimore. Vice President —J. E. U'helohel. Secretary—EL EL Smith of Senoia. Treasurer—A. A. Baggs of Athena. The ques ion of entering a field day with the city athletes was discu-sed. It was fina.ly jiecided that the p ac ice required ■would interfere with the preparations for the final examinations and other commence ment eve-ta. So the invitation was not acceped. The outlook for the association next term is excellent, aud the membership will be greatly increased. GOV. GORDON’S MISTAKE. He Names Gen. Me Laws as the Repub lican Commissioner to the Fair. Atlanta, Ga., May 16.—Gov. Gordon to-day designated commissioners and alter nates to repieent Georgia at the Chicago world’s fair. There were but two applicants in the entire state. U..der the law the gov ernor was required to appoint as commis sioners one democrat and one republican. The democrat selected is Col. C. H. Way, and as the republican the governor names Gen. Lafayette McLaws, also of Savannah. As Gen. McLaws is a democrat, the gov ernor is evid-ntly laboring under a misap prehension as to his politics. Capt. John T. Clarke of Augusta and Gen. James Loagstreet of G&iuesviUe are the alternates. , LLOYD HILL A P-.IBONBR. He Won't be Apt to Shoot at Train men Again Very Soon. Albany, Ga., May 16.—Lloyd Hill, the negro who shot at Conductor Harris and a train-band, wounding the train-hand, some days ago for putting him off while trying to steal a ride on a Brunswick and Western road freight train, was arres:ed yesterday.

COTTRELL fc TILL AT LARGE. A Revenue Cutter at Cedar Key to Protect Its Collector. Jacksonville, Fla, May 18.—A Cedar K y special to the Times-Cnion says: “Things have quieted down here consider ably since the arrest of the town marsual and the flight of Mayor Cottrell. The revenue cutter McLane returned to the city to-day after a fruitless search for C t trell among the keys down tae coast. Deputy Collector Pinkerton l soar led her as soon as sbe reachet her pier and it is sad that orders have been received from the treasury department that the revenue cutter officersex.ead protection to the customs officials here as long as Cottrell is at liber.y. Somepeoole tbi k he is hiding in the city. The search for him will be kept up, however.”! MITCHELL STILL IN JAIL.

Pratt, editor of the Palatka Herald , has formed anew enterprise known as the Florida Newspaper Union,and has made con tracts with about forty Florida papers to furnish them with “outsides” and “insides” containing nothing but Florida new9, a current report of ttie world’s news aud mis cellaneous reading. Operations will be commenced at once. The outlook is that the enterprise will not only prove be eflcial to the couutrv press, but to the proprietors, Pratt Bros. The Florida editors universally take well to the ne w m rve, as they can by this plan have much in their papers that would otherwise be omitted, owing to the great expense attached in setting type. The firm has $20,000 invested in their plant, and have every facility for giving a better service than can be had in foreign markets. MP.S. CRAFIS’ HOUSE FIRED ON. She Thinks It is an Outgrowth of the Arrest of Mr. Schroder. Tallahassee, Fla., May 16.—United States Marshal Weeks has arrived here in response to a letter from Mrs. Craft, with whom be beards, stating that her house was fired into Tuesday and Wednesday nights by some unknown persons. A few days ago Chairman Sc roder of the democrat c county committee was invited by Mrs. Craft to come into her house.

Mr. Schroder’s friends w ere much incensed at the manner of his arrest, and some republicans charge them with the attack upon Mrs. Craft s hou-e. The people do not believe this, and the mat ter is being investigated to-night. There is considerable excitement Clifton at Atlanta. Atlanta Ga, May 16.—Hon. William Clifton of Savannah is here to-day. NOBFJLK’3 BROKEN BANK President Oldfield Flees Rather Than fctand Trial. Norfolk, Va., May 16.—1n November, 1883, the Home Savings Bank of this city failed. An investigation instituted by the depositors led to the indictment of the officers of the bank. After several post ponements for various reasons the trial of President Geirge S. Oldfield and the directors was fixed to take place yesterday in the corporation court of Norfolk. President Oldfield failed t > appear for trial, and an investigation showed that he was not under bond, owing to an irregularity, although it was believed that he was bailed ia the amount of $23,000. It was not thought ye-terdav tha', Oldfield’s absence was inten tioual, and that he would anpojr to explain his absence b)-d ty, but thus far nothing has been beard of nim, and his family say they know nothing of him. OLDFIELD’S RECORD. He was from New York state, settled here alter the war and was judge of the ci y court some years ago. At tha time of the time of the ladure of the bank, which was a relict of the Old Freedman’s Savings Bank, it was not generally believed that Oldfield bad knowledge of the criminal management of its affairs, but had been deceived by the cashier, H. C. Perry, who fled to Canada. His seeming fear of judi cial investigation, however, has changed puDlic opinion in th ,t regard. ASHLEY’S HORROR. Cf the 23 Men so far Taken Out 20 Are Dead—Six still Missing. Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 16.—Operations in the wrecked mine at Ashley were sus pended at 8 o’clock to-night because of the great quantity of gas encountered. There is some uncertainty about the number of men in the mine. Nineteen have been taken out dead aud four alive, of whom one died to-day, and several o hers are still in the mine—six, it is believed. Some of the miners were Hungarians. Nearly all the bodies were unrecoguizable. Some were minus heads aud others lost limbs. CAUSE OF THE DISASTER. John Allen, who died to-day, was assist ant fire boss, and it was he ivno set the uiiue on fiie. His lamp had gone out, and he in sisted on religntiug it, notwithstanding the Sreso.ice of gas. The explosion followed. iineteen men were congregated In one of the chambers awaiting rescue after the cave-in, when the explosion killed them all once. ALL COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. Allen and three others were some dis tance away making their way out through some of the old workings, when Allen’s carelessness did the mischiof. All would have been rescued but for this. The scene at the mine as the bodies were being brought out was heart rending in the extreme. Men, wome.i and children, shrieking and groaning, fell upon their knees and lifted their hands and eyes toward heaven and prayed for the dead. FROSTS NIP THE CROPS. Planters in Kansas and Missouri Suf fer From a Freeze. Kansas City, May 16.—Heavy frosts are reported in portions of Kansas aud Mis souri, doing some damage to crops, early vegetables aud small fruits. A special to the Star from Eldorado, Kan., says: “A heavy, killing frost visited Southern Kansas yesterday. After a slight raiu yesterday afternoon the weather turned bitterly cold last night, tne thermometer registering be low tue freezing point, and this morning tnere wus a thin scum of ice. some thing that has not happened for years at this season. Strawberries, grapes and berries were completely destroyed ad garden vegetables frozen to the ground. A heavy ram is very badiy needed. At Marshall, Mo., ice formed one-eighta of an inch thick. Growing corn has been much injured.” Editors at Lynchburg. Lynchburg, Va, May 16.— The Massa chusetts Press Association arrived hero this morning, and were met by a large number of citizens, and were entertained at the opera bouse to-night. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1890. 1 STOCKS MAY TAKE A DROP ! SPECULATORS AFRAID TO BET ON THEM JUST NOW. They May, However, Go Still Higher —The Cotton Market Sluggish Be cause Manufacturers are Afraid to Buy the Raw Material at Fresent Press—The General Outlook Good. New York, May 16.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly trade review was issued to-day and is as follows: “Tbe stock market has rushed ahead until it has absorbed all the money within reach, and now some signs of reaction appear, with little selling by foreign holders. Substan tially the same phenomena have been ob served in wheat and corn and in tbe market for pork products. Each has at command a limited amount of money. When that supply is absorbed reac tion is natural 8o the tendency h“* been toward lower prices during the past week as to most products that are objects of active speculation, and after a remarkable advance stocks at and bonds begin to manifest some reaction, which is called healthy by some operators. It means that betting oj higher prices has reached its limit, and now the question is whether still higher prices will actually come. COTTON SLUGGISH. ‘"The cotton market is sluggish, for it begins to be understood that raw cotton at the present price cannot be worked into goods. The prospects for the next crop are more favorable and the receipts for the week n-arly equal, while the exports fail much below tuose of last year. “The market for iron is weaker, and in cre-a-ed production is sufficient explanation. The Philadelphia market is waiting, Pitts burg is less strong in tone and sales of southern iron continue to psh down prices. At New York steel rails have been sold this week at $30.50, and s3l is freely quoted. The structural market shows no improvement, but plates are in fair demand, and bar ir n is thought to Ie at the bottom. The kev of the iron business is that railroad building does not increase, though it is estimated that above 5,000 miles may be built this year, and the demand for structural iron is cut down by the concession of an eight-hour day to the building trades in many cities. ENCOURAGING REPORTS, “Reports from seventy-four other cities are almost uniformly encouraging. Tho mone tary situation at New York has not been altogether satisfactory. The treasury has taken in money, and now holds nearly $212,000,000 casU. Mercantile credits have not been disturbed by the failure of a firm representing many bucketsnops, and the foreign trade of the port is satisf ictorv, showing an increase over last year of $4,900,000 in exports for half of May, more than 40 per cent., but money has bee i growing closer, and 6 per cent, is now the selling rate, with every indication that the supply for speculative uses has been nearly if not quite abs irbed by advances in the market for securities. “The business failures for the week num ber for the United States 111. and for Can ada 21, a total of 212. against 209 last week.” BATTLES WITH BILL AND BAT.

Msnte Carlo is a spot on Mm- sur face where heaTen and its antipodes may be and to meet. It has enj >yei this distinc tion since the year 1546, having only bad a monopoly of “charm without danger,” up to that time. Anew Dante is needed to paint is now delirious excitements, and its *>ft. tranquillizing, and indefinable charms. Martin Luther is said to h ive bjected to the possession in which his satanic majesty held all the “good tunes,” and one might with propriety say that the ki g of the infernal regions should not have laid claim to this health breathing an otherwise vir tn uj spot, where every prospect pleases and only man is vile. Monte Carlo, from its shejtared situation, is beauty, the entire salubrity of ail its c millions, its remarka ble cheapness, is marked out as the natural refuge for invalids, half-pay officers, wid ows, the clergy, ad t o angels, if indeed these last are not already comprehended in the other classifications. There are, how ever, carping critics who would here ob serve that if Monte Carlo were given over to the good only, that it wcuid not be os amusing as it now is, MORALITY OF GAMBLING. Gambling is a vice which it is hard to classify. It is not forbidden in the deca -1 gue. No man commits mortal sin by payng or tetting, uniess the command ment “Thoushalt not steal” may compre hend it. And yet not one, but ail the vices are covers 1 by this passion. It is every thing ; demoralization, degradation, despair; it brings all in its train. Its victims are more haggard and more moribund than the victims oi absinthe. Nj vice brings so cer tain a doom. The respectable and thought ful man, the elderly and careful woman, are as sure to be ruined as is the young spendthrift, who has youth and its impul sive heart-throb to excuse him. Indeed, it may be culled the vice of mid lie ago—as Byron spoke of avarice, “a good old gentle manly vice.” Who can explain therefore.the deliberate tampering with this Miaetour who devours his victims, in utter oblivion of age or sex, daily and hourly at Monte Carlo? Who? The philosopher has not been found. There are several class s of gamblers. There are those who c >me regularly to it as a business a id who make money. There are those who put aside a portion of their income to play with, just a, a man decides that he will spend $ 10,000 a year on pictu es. There are invalids who seak at the tables distraction from the inevitable pain, and ennui of a mortal disease. THE LAW SANCTIONS IT. Every oil! ha3a rigut to be there. It is law, and no one can say that it is not gos pel. It is by the common consent of man kind pronounced hideous, senseless, dauger ous, and yet among its votaries are tho most sagacious bankers, the coolest poliii cians aid the most respected mothers of families. It would be hard to condemn a woman in Europe for being a gamble.-; it would come very near home, in the houses of the aristocracy, the clergy and amid the respectable Bourgeoisie. A famous old gambler at Bsden Baden used to boast that he h and educated a family of sons, who had filled high places In Europe, by his win nings at the gaming table. But tbe tables are not put there for any of these classes. They are arranged for the fools, as Carlyle said of Engla id, “139,000,- 000, mostly fools.” So one is tempted in the gambling rooms at Monte Carlo to thus classify the humau race. It is the fool who plays and loses all he 1 as, who cannot come away when he has won, who goe3 on fol lowing the siren, knowng very well that she leads 10 the edge of a gulf, who feeds with his half-crowns that ever voracious appetite of tbe bank. Yet if the respect able gambler commits a sin, it is that y his presence he encourages and keeps alive this indus ry. Who that has seen the pale face, the kitted brow, the shocking expres sion about tho mouth of a female gambler, new to the trade, who has not wished that some great law should be passed against this indefinite crime? CASES OF SUICIDE. Ono thing only arrests the game, that is when some desperate mau blows out his brains. He kal better have doue it before ho begun to play, but he doei it afterward. If nt the table he is removed so quiekly that scarcely his next neighbor knows it. Tho croupier does not turn pale. A woman )crtams, perhaps, and brea.is the luck of the gambler next to her, who declares noth ing else can make his pulse quicker or more even in its beat. They may then go out and drown themselves, but no one eau find out who or where. The papers along the Hiviora are all subsidized to this item. N > reporter makes his bread by “willing up” a suicide. Many women, the deserted friends of gamblers, kill tnemselves; but they have the decency to go away and poison them selves out of sight. A woman ca mot shoot herself or cut her throat, well; she there fore uses tbe little bottle of aconite or laudanum or prussic acid. One of the sad dest sides of the gambling st ry is this of the ruined favorite, who is in such a heyday of prosperity, brilliant in diamonds one day, but who is so deeply miserable the next week. A few year3 ago a few philanthropic Etigli-h ladies, dressed as Sisters of Charity, walked the streets of Mo.ite Carlo at night to try and rescue and save some of the vic tims of despair. Their success was very great, and some day this story will be to and. These Sisters of Cnarity often hear stories which make all the novels of Ouida seem poor and col riess, and indeed sometimes a tragedy which Dante or Milton could alone write out —a “Commedia Inferno,” or a "Commedia Divina,” which Monte Carlo is, in every hour of its existence. A LITERARY VORTEX. Gambling he Is are said to enepurago every kind of industry, particularly novel writing. From this spot, therefore.have all the fertile English novel writers drawn their easily cultivated inspirations. There is nothing left to be said about the blue sky, the moonlight nights, the facile climate, fresh, yet warm, tne eternal glare, the dis solute Russian princess, the actor, the singer, the prince. All the e.ementi of the three volume novel are here in perfection from early dawn to late eve. Perhaps the least emphasized feature of the Riviera life o 1 its b >st side is the cheap villa, the home of the literary man or ar tist, where for SI,OOO a year a man and his family can live most c.mif rtably, under conditions of health, ease and natural scen ery, amusement and quiet unsurpassed in the world. It is onl v a wonder that large sanitariums do not flourish ali along this famed c 'ast for those who do uot care to play. The deligh ful concerts at Moots Carlo must bo c unted in as one of the best results of gambling. In where else can one hear such music for nothing? A classical concert every Thursday, miscellaneous con certs every day and evening, and all so well managed. This alone makes one feel tie morn! necessity of g' ing into ttio rooms and depositing a 5 franc piece before the mouth of tho Minotaur to help pay for the music. THE PEOPLE OF MONTE CARLO. Monte Carlo has a very respectable popu lation of sober English, American, Gorman ami French people who live here to econo mize. For, there being no taxes to pay, Monte Carlo is very cheap as to house rent, aud in summer it, is not too hot, while in March, April and May it is transcendently delightful, with its wealth cf wild flowers and orange blossoms, its Japanese peach and almond flowers, its gray, stony bills, coveicd with palms and cacti. The ex peditions are endless. A br . i.ast in a pine grove at Cape Martin, a drive thence to Mentonue, to hear Strauss waltzes i 1 the open air, is an ideal way of spending an Ai ril day. What could be more maguifi eeutiy picturesque than the drive to V-ilie franche, where I breakfasted in a villa cu riously ad .’rued wlt.r olu liaiian frescoes, and later dined “al fresco” in an orange grove, Tais is all a gift und a surprise to u non hern nature. It is all a vision of the Garden of Edetv—icrluding the snake. The “luck of some people” is astonishing, j and his majesty of the Inferno has his fa vorites and treats them well. Although the | pasri n for gambling is as great among An glo-Sax es as among Frenchmen, although tnere is said to he more “money changing in the American game of poker than is possible at roulette, still a Monte Carlo would he impossible in either America or England. NEEDS FRENCH POLITENESS. It needs the vigilant politeness w hieh is second nature to the French;it needs that taste for ceremony which is visible in all their personal intercourse at tbe gambling table, where only a decent enamel of out ward manner can keep the strongest pas sions in check; it needs, in a word, toe polished phraseology of France. Even the word “messieurs” and tbe frequent use of “pardon” have their calmi g influence. When an Englishman says “sir,” it is a chal lenge; when a Frenchman says “mousieur,” it is a compliment. It is chsrmiug to greet this one remnant cf feudalism in republican France. A Frenchman of the byst class never forgets his polite manner even in hi' meats of fatigue and vexation. It is well put on at the gaming table, which is the real republic, the only true democracy where the prince elbows the common st man, where tbe duchess a id the dressmaker sit side by side, where the most careful Puritan plays high against the lady of the half-world. Both are engaged in the most energetic avarice, both stimulated to the last degree by the pa-sions of hope and despair. What can enable them to sit there with safety but that formal, ceremonio s politeness, which tne E iglish people have discarded, and which Americ las a nation has never known! Tho gaming table may be said to be the place wnere tue vanishing feudalism of the eighteenth century aud the uniform mediocriiy of manners, not to say the tendency toward rudeness, of the nine teenth cent’iry meet. RULES OF THE TABLES. It is the business of the croupier to pre serve the vanishing feudalism. He allows no talking. There is a Sabbath stillness in the ar. The gambler’s superstition is re garded. The duchess eve \ if she grasp her neighbor’s gains, receives a gentle tan on berdTieate knuckles. The only safety to the player is a decent self-control. Death and disagreeable images are carefully ex cluded. Is it remarkable, therefore, that there are no statistics of suicide? The “His tory of Despair” is not on the shelves of any library of Monte Carlo, but one hears much of the lucky fellow who is 70,000 francs ahead of the bank, of tha wonderful 10 francs that earned 8,000, of success, never of failure. Meantime the Minotaur lias eaten up so much that he gains £1.000,003 sterling clear profit at the end of the year, and can aff Td to pay the prince of Monaco so handsome a rent for the Casino that he is declared nn admirable tenant and goe3 on eating his victims! Another reason why Monte Carlo is so in teresting is the press ca of kings, royal dukes, princes and mo.iarchs out of busi ness. Although “that divinity which doth hedge a king" is out of fashio 1, or ought t > be, in tbe republican nineteenth century, still the poetry of title remains. It is es pecially noticeble in tbe ease of servants and innkeepers. They stand aside, bare headed, when a prince passes, although he may be impecunious to a degree. HOMAGE TO AMERICAN MAMMON. The rich Americans, representing King Mammon, are receive! with the next degree of homage by this class, for there is no such stimul tor of politeness as an empty pocket. But curiously enough, it is the newest and f eshest republican, the most ardent follower of President Carnot, or tbe latest arrival from America, who is most 1 moresied witb glamor of title. To see a prince, a royal duke, a noble of high degree playing and losing, like any ordinary mortui, has, to a worshiper of this sort, a kind of novel entertamme it in it. “Tuose who are born in tha purple, have they then the same madness as ourselves? if a pi inoe looses, then why should not I. That is what they say to t eraselves. It is a revelation of tbe inevitable snobbish ness, which, Thackeray declared, underlaid our common nature. The readers of history remember when titles meant something, when the motto “Noblesse oblige” had not lost its meaning. It is ta that brilliant mo ment (not yet entirely obscured, iet us hope,) that we refer, with fond reverence, when we make reverential room at tho tables for the royal duke that he may sit next to us. This is purgatory, but when we come out of the feverisn atmo phere into the light of a Monte Carlo sunset, who shall say that it is not paradise ? M. E. W. Sherwood. WON A FORTUNE AND A BRIDE.
