After the adoption of the resolutions a speech of eloquence and patriotism was de livered by Col. Warr.iu Iker of Bartow. Hon. R. \V. Everett was then placed in nomination for congress by Mr. Haney of Bartow in a very eloquent speech with tell ing effect. Before the vote was taken Col. Wright of Romo was called for, and in a short speech indorsed Col. R. W. Everett, and said that while Rome had a Felton pow-wpw on Sept. 3, it should not be considered that all Rome had gone wild over Dr. Felton. Several other able speeches were made. The convention adjourned after an elo ?uent speech of acceptance by Mr. Everett, u his speech he said: “If the dem cratic caucus should decide that the sub treasury bill was undemocratic and unwise, as a democrat, I will be compelled if the yeas and nays are called on its passage to vote ‘no.’ ” A BPLIT OVER A SENATORSHIP. Both Venable and lodd Nominated In the Thirty-fifth District. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.— There is a dead look in the Thirty-fifth district eonatorial convention, which met at 11 o’clock this morning. It arose over the fight for the 6tato senator being made for Mr. Venable by Fulton oounty, and for Mr. Tobb by Clayton and Cobb counties. It was Clayton county’s tune to nominate the senator according to the rotation system, but Fulton county thought her superior numbers entitled her to this pri vilege.and shejirocoeded t > take it. The Fulton county mass meeting aD pointed six delegates, instructing them for Mr. Todd. The county executive committee declared that the mass meeting had no right to appoint the delegates, and called a a primary, at which six Venable men were alec ted. Clayton county’s primary selected two Todd delegates and Cobb county selected four Todd delegates. At a mass meeting of Mr. Venable’s friends, eight in number, in Clayton county yesterday, two delegates were selected for Venable. OPENING OF THE CONVENTION. Lewis Thomas, secretary of the executive committee, in the absence of the chairman, called the convention to order and threw out the six Todd delegates appointed by the Fulton county mass meeting and the two appointed by the Clayton county mass meeting of No temporary chairman was called for but Mr. Thomas proceeded to call for the nomination af a permanent chairman. Cobb and Clayton counties kicked at this, and numerous speeches were made, but to no avail. Fulton county nominated a man and so did Clayton. Fulton’s six delegates voted for her nominee and Clayton and Cobb counties voted for Clayton’s man, making a tie. UNABLE TO AGREE. Every delegate has been placed in nomi nation several successive times, but Fulton county’s votes have all been cast one way and Clayton’s and Cobb’s the other. Every time Cobb has made a motion to adjourn Clayton voted with her, but Fulton went the other way, and vice versa with Fulton At 11 o’clock to-night 1,800 ballots had been cast and stood 6 to 0. BOTH MEN NOMINATED. At 11:30 o’clock Samuel Taliferro, one of the rejected mass meeting delegates,arrived, and Mr. Perkerson of Clayton was nomi nated for chairman. Clayton and Cobb, in the midst of tho wiliest confusion, with drew to one side with Mr. Taliferro, the Fulton county mass meet ing delegate, nominated Mr. Todd for senator, appointed anew executive committee, listened to a speech of accept ance from Mr. Todd and adjourned sine die. Lewis Tuomas, the chairman, was pounding all the while on the desk, and all of Fulton’s delegates were yelling like madmen. The six r niton county delegates then declared the others bolters and proceeded to nomi nate Mr. Venanle for the Senate. MULLIS FOR THE SENATE.

Amhricus, Ga. , Sept 10.—The campaign for county officers ia this county has opened. Mfeers. J. E. Sullivan and S. W. Small have published their announcements as candidates for county treasurer. The present treasurer, Mr. C. C. Shepherd, will also stand for re-election. They are all good men, and the race will be lively. Mr. Luke Forrest, the present deputy sheriff, is a candidate for sheriff, with Mr. J. B. Lamar as his deputy. Tney make a strong team, ami will be bard to beat. It is reported that ilr. Y. B. Parker, tbe present coroner of the county, will also run tor sheriff. He has many friends who jwill support him. It is expected that the executive committee of the county will order a nomination. If they should the contest will be within the Democratic party. It has not been the custom in this county to have nominations for county officers.

The Phenomena First Witnessed After the Charleston Earthquake-The Peo ple of the Ifeigbborhood Alarmed and Ready to Move Away—An In vestigation Suggested. Asheville, N. C., Sept. 10.—Reports received here from a number of reliable citizens in the neighborhood of Bee Tree creek, a tributary of the Sewannee river, twelve miles east of this city, state that for the third time since the Charleston earthquake smoke has some days been regularly emitted in considerable volume from seven mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge chain. The peaks hava come to be designated the “Seven Smoking Moun tains.” The occurrence has excited the en tire region in which the smoke is visible, and many of the people are alarmed. A RELIABLE CITIZEN’S STORY. J. W. Boone, a highly respected citizen of the Bee Tree creek neighborhood, has given the Citizen of this place an account of his observations of the phenomena. He says that for the past two weeks each morn ing about 9 o’clock vast columns of black smoke risiug to a bight of about 300 feet have issued from Watch Knob, Rocky Knob and five other Blue Ridge mountain peaks which are visible from Bee Tree creek. A STRONG SULPHURIC ODOR. Some of tbe people of the neighborhood visited the mountains and found that tho smoke, as it issue! from the peaks, had a strong sulphuric odor. Mr. Boone says that these peaks were first observed to be smoking on October of the year of the Charleston earthquake. That year the smoking lasted two weeks. It then ceased until last year. when for three weeks, beginning in September, the peaks were again in a state of activity. This year the phenomena has lasted two weeks, and has been witnessed by more than 300 people, many of whose names Mr. Boone has given. An effort is being made to have Prof. C. D. Smith, a geologist of Macon county, and Gen. T. L Oliugman investigate the matter, as many of the peo ple have l>eeome so alarmed that they say ihey will leave the neighborhood. A CORPSE TRUST. Live People Reported Dead and Money Collected on Iheir Policies. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 10.— Another corpse trust case, similar to that of tho cele brated Bond case, was brought tft light here to-day in the arrest of Max Gelihorn, an ex-agent of tbe Home Friendly Insurance Society of Baltimore. Gelihorn was dis charged from the Home Friendly and took the agency of tho Globe of Baltimore. Of late Gelihorn has been suspected of being guilty of irregularities while he was with the Home Friendly society. B. L. Talley, the vice president of the society, came to the city to work the matter up. He soon found that the suspicious were correct and that Gelihorn had been guilty of some serious crimes. MONET COLLECTED ON LIVE CORPSES. Gelihorn, as agent of the Home Friendly Company, has deliberately cheated and de frauued the company by means of fraudu lent claims and forged medical certificates. He had collected quite an amount of money. Charlotte A. Wyles has been reported dead and money collected on her policy by Geli horn. Mr. Talley investigated this case, and found that if Charlotte was a corpse she was a mighty lively one. Several other alleged corpses were unearthed. Gelihorn had oy forgeries made the company believe that Gelihorn was the representative of these parties as far as collecting their insurance was concerned. The amount thus collected is not known Gelihorn was before a jus tice to-day and agreed to refund the stolen money and leave the city. KILLED BY HI3 OWN HAND.

On the 17tb day of last October, by an error of tbe tel -graph operator at Aurora, Ind., two passenger trains collided within about two miles of the town. By that accident fifteen people were hurled into eternity. That night the operator fled. He realize 1 tbe consequences of his grave mistake, and he also realized that there were men in the country who would fail to look on the occurrence as an accident. He drifted into Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and back again into Georgia, but wherever he went tbe cries of tba innocent dead ones followed him, and he became almost an outcast. He worked for a while with the Bruns wick and Western railroad, and at one time “held down the station” at Alapaha, besides being afterward employed as an operator at the new docks, but with all of his pros perity there were cries cf paiu and anguish that would come out of the past aud fill bis soul with horror. He could never forget that accident. He had several good offers for positions in western states, but he came to Bruns wick, and, after a visit to St. Simon’s, he decided he would go to sea. There was something in the heavy boom of the break ers on the shore that seemed to draw him toward the sea, and he made up his mind to give up all thing) else and see if tbe heavy swells of the ocean could drown his regrets. Tuesday he signed article? with the Nor wegian bark Spss, and, although he knows no more about the rigging of a vessel than a scho Iboy does about tho tariff bill, he will go to sea. Tbe vessel clears this port for Hamburg with r sin, and the novitiate will have plenty of hard work and very little time to think of the past. The name of the young man is Harry Hull, although he has been using the alias of “George Williams” iu this section, and by that mme was known to the manage ment of the Brunswick and Western road. In a conversation with a Times reporter, Tuesday night, just before he went aboard the vessel that is to carry him so many miles from home, he said: “I don’t mind going away from home, friends aud kindred if tho trip will take away the horrible recollections of one night in my life. I did nothing criminal; it was simply a mistake—and yet I’d give anything if I could be punished in some way for what I’ve done. Not that I think that I’m guilty of any crime, but tho cries of those people will ring in my ears always, and make tne feel as if I were a criminal. I know the step I am taking is a serious one, but I want to get away from the country, and, if old ocean treats me as I wish, all of the past will drift away like a bad dream.” Mr. Hull imagines that he is bound to an swer for the souls of the fifteen people killed in the collision, and thinks that consequently he is doomed for et'rnal punishment. Evi dently be believes this, for he is trying to drown his sorrows in taking up a mode of life altogether unfitted for a man of his caliber. Mr. Hull will probably return during the next year, and resume his former vocation. OVERWORKING THE BRAIN. Some of the Early Signs Which Indi cate Danger of Mental Collapse. From the Boston Herald. Some brainworkers toil on year after year contenting them-elves with the relaxa tion of a day or two now and then. They have no real vacations, and the brief in tervals that they are away from their duties do them but little good, not being long enough for them to forget their work and vexations and get out of the groove they have been running in. The e comes at last to these men a time when the memory weakens, when it is hard for them to fix the mind upon pup subject and their work seems to grow more and more irksome. And in conversation there is a slight ten dency to incoherence. It is rather difficult for them at times to express themselves clearly; the suitable words do not come to them as readily as they once did. When conversing they start in well, but after a short time their ideas are somewhat confused and they are obliged to make con siderable effort to keep tiieir attention fixed upon tho subject that they are discussing. In writing there is a hesitancy, especially on long words or sentences. They are obliged to stop and think, seeming to drop the thread that they have been hold ing. These are signs of mental failure which must not be disregarded. In this condition of brain exhaustion not only are the reasoning faculties sluggish, but unusual effort is required from the weakened will to keep the attentiou fixed. Good mental work is thon accomplished only at the expense of the brain, which is still further weakened by every intense effort. The time has now come when meu tal rest is imperative. And it should be as complete as possible. A long vacation should be taken—short rests are not likely to do any good. A sea voyage promises the greatest good to the weakening brain worker. On shipboard he seems to drop almost entirely out of his old life. His vacation should not be of les3 than a month’s duration, and it ought to run on for s>veral months. Failing to take the needed rest insanity is very likely to be the penalty. Kate McGirk, a New York girl, was fined $lO for talking loud in a Catholic church. SYRUP OF FIGS.
