GREETINGS TO GORDON.
BE ADDRESSES AN IMMENSE AU
DIENCE AT MILLSN.
People Attend from ell Along ttxe
Central Between Uacon and Savan
nah and Between Augusta and
Mtllen—The Address Well Received—
Indorsed by the Meeting for senator.
Millkn, Ga., Sept. 30.—Gov. John B.
Gordon delivered here to-day, what is said
by many who have heard him speak often,
one of the best speeches of his life. There
had been oDly two days' notice of bis inten
tion to deliver an address here, and cold,
rainy weather prevented many from at
tending, there being only about TOO or 800
present, but those who did come seemed
fcappv for doing so. People were here from
the entire length of the Central railroad
from Macon to Savannah, and from Au
gusta to Millen.
Gov. Gordon openen his speech by show
ing his hearers that it was not only their
pleasure, but their duty to posterity, to use
every effort to secure good government. He
said that God almighty in bis wise judg
ment had created the white man bead and
ruler of nations.
allixxcemen appealed to.
He urged the democrats to stand together.
H criticised the absurdity of any one spe
cific bill being acceptable to every indi
vidual member of so large a brotherhood
as the alliance. He reminded the farmers
of his position while representing
them in the Senate, and of his having
urged them as far back as eighteen or
twenty years ago to organize. He said the
alliance being a secret organization was
not objectionable to him, as he himself was
a Mason, hut reminded them of the fact
that when taking the oath of membership
to the alliance that it was plainly said that
becoming a member of the alliance should
not conflict with either religious or po
litical rights.
The governor referred to one issue of the
Alliance Partner that contained thirty-niue
political and personal attacks upon him, all
unwarranted and without the least provo
cation, and said that the same issue <iid not
contain a word about tho high tariff bill
just passed, which increased the tariff on
cotton ties, wrapping twine, etc. He read
many letters from leading allianoemen all
over the south, condemning the sub-treasury
bill.
VOCIFEROUSLY APPLAUDED.
The governor spoke just two hours. He
was frequeutly compelled to wait some
time until the applause had subsided to con
tinue his speech. He refuted the slander
ous attacks made on his personal and
political record without referring partic
ularly to any one.
At the end of bis address tho following
resolutions were offered bv H. V. Hester of
Milieu and seconded by Nathan Smith of
Burke county, Batt Gay and 8. W. Allice
of Bulloch county and G. W. C. Lane of
Emanuel county, all alliance men:
Whehksk, Tho Hon. John B. Gordon has ever
proved faithful to every trust reposed in him by

Macon, Ga., Sept. 30. —Several weeks
ago the Brown house, in this city, was
leased by its owuer, M. Nussbaum, to W.
B. Sperry, formerly of Michigau, but lately
of Auderson, S. C., the understanding be

went with the house. To-morrow was the

charge. To-night the proprietor,
Mr. Nussbaum, was informed that
the manager, J. F. Sangster. who

years, was removing the furniture from
the house. With his lawyer he went to the
hotel and found the reports true. A large
part of the furnishings of the bouse had
teen removed, aud • a quantity of beds and
table linen were in large packing cases on
the sidewalk, ready to be carried away.
Investigation showed that the furnishings
had been disappearing for several
days post, and little beyond tho four walls
of the building was left for the new man
ager to take possession of. Sangster claims
that the furnishings belong to him. Mr.
Nussbaum disputes that claim, aud a pretty
mess of it is iu prospect.

Rowe, census enumerator of one of tho dis
tricts in this county, has recoivod notice
from the oensus office at Washington that
his pay would be withheld unless he re
ported more deaths in his district. Ho re
ported only one death as ocourring during
the ceusus year, and as be is a gentleman of
known integrity, it is presumed that he
would make a correct, report. It is now
nearly three months since the enumerators
completed their work, but no money has
been paid them yet.
Our artesian well has reached a depth of
250 feet, where they have struck hard rock.

Florida Trees Embracing Bach Other.
Sanford, Fla., Sept. 28.—There is a
tree, or trew, in front of Mr. Boyd’s saw
mill that is a curiosity. A hickory and
magnolia, each fully two feet in diameter,
have grown solidly into each other from
the roots to some distance up, the bark
covering the whole without seam or break.
—Falatka Herald.
A curiosity similar to this can be seen
near Tarpon Springs, Hillsborough county,
where a pine a: and oak have liuked their
fortunes in strange wedlock. They are
known far and near as the pine and oak,
aud many an artist has carried awav their
counterfeit presentiment— Sanford Jour
nal,
Yet another curiosity not very dissimilar,
but less widely known, may be seen in the
Amnettoliga hammock, just outside the
corporate limits of Brooksville, Hernando
county, where a thrifty and overshadowing
hickory is holding a less thrifty and over
shadowed sweet-gum in its unvielding
grasp, reminding one of the mfiuenoe of a
strong-minded, evil-hearted, wicked young
man over a weaker minded but better
hearted and misled young man. Caution:
Let young men of good morals and good
habits beware of the association of young
men of bad morals and evil habits* least

pletely grasped in their clutches, or rather
in the clutches of the master of them both—

Orange County Reporter, and B. F. Whit
ner of Sanford, for representatives. Both

place is undoubtedly nominated, as are also
Jamas A Knox for treasurer, and I. W. C.
Parker for collector, who had no opposition.
The circuit clerk (unexpired term) is in
doubt with D. 8. Shine, a little ahead of J.
N. Bradshaw. Nearly 1,500 votes were cast,

quiet. The republicans will hold a conven
tion and nominate a ticket.

at public auction for $7,100,000, in com
pliance with the decrees of the circuit court
of Roanoke City, Washington county,
Maryland, and Jefferson county. West Vir
ginia. Louis Fitzgerald, chairman of the

$7,100,0001 N. J. Tubbs, Mr. Hale, an en
gineer of this city, raised the bid $50,000, but
failed to comply with the terms of sale, as
he was unable to make a spot cash payment
of $75,000. He asked to be allowed until 3

money by that ’ time. This offer was re
jected and the sale reopened. Fitzgerald
again made the same and only bid and
closed the sale by turning oyer a oertiflod

As the Norfolk and Western holds the
majority of the bonds of the Shenandoah
Valley railroad, the road will now pass into
its control. A special term of court will bo
held here about the middle of October to
receive and act upon the report of the sale.
If it is confirmed the receiver will imme
diately turn the road oyer to the Norfolk
and Western.

RAIL AND C8043T18.
In addition to the street railway Macon
now has a number of wealthy and promi
nent men who havo applied for a charter
for the Ocmulgee Street Railway Company,
to lie operated by electricity. The capital
stock will be SIOO,OOO.
It is thought that the injunction served
on the Mac m and Dublin raiir ad officials
by the administrators of the Nelson estate
will not stop the work of construc
tion more than a week. The tract of land
to be crossed is not more than 200 or 300
yards wide.
An electric railway is to be constructed
between Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., a dis
tance of forty-two miles. Tuis will be the
longest electric road in existence, and its
successful and economical operation will go
far to demonstrate the feasibility of apply
ing electric motive pow r to railways of
very much greater length.
The Charleston and Savannah railway
will not disoonti .ue its cheap Sunday ex
cursions from Savannah to Charleston and
return until the last Sunday m October.
These excursions are verv popular, and the
road carries largo crowds every Sunday
from Savannah to Cnarleston and also from
Charleston to Savannah.
A railroad man who has been railroadirg
for a number of years says he has never
known freight cars so scarce. At this sea
son of the year every road is pushed and
keops the car accountant hustling. The
present scarcity has been felt for over a
year. Most of the lines have big orders
placed with car shops, and the stringency
may be relieved when these orders are
filled.
The survey of the extension of tho Mem
phis and Charleston railroad from Owen to
Tracy, on Walden’s ridge, has been com
pleted. The surveyed disianoe between the
two points is fourtee i miles. The distance
from Tracy to Dunlap is forty-one miles;
from Dunlap to Fix villa, twenty miles.
The entire route from Dunlap to Pike
ville has been graded and six miles are laid
with track.
Charles H. Cromwell, formerly of Macon,
and for some time traffic manager of the
Western of Alabama and the Atlanta and
W est Point railroads, has tendered his
resignation to accept the position of general
manager of the Atlantic and Danville rail
road. It is currently believed that R. E.
Lutz, at present ge era! ageut of the West
ern of Alabama and the Atlanta and West
Point railroads, will succeed Mr. Cromwell.
Mr. Lutz was for sixteen years in the em
ploy of the Louisville and Nashville, hold
ing several responsible positions.
* An Americus telegram to the Atlanta
Constitution gives the Americus side of the
cotton freighting wrangle between the Cen
tral and the Americus C impress Company.
It says: “All the cotton iu this section is
being handled by tne Savannah, Americus
and Montgomery railroad, and os the crop
here is earlier by some weeks than else
where, the bulk of it will have gone before
the Central can succeed iu stopping the
movement, even if the commission snould
decide in their favor. It is needless to say
that public sentiment here is solidly with tho
Savannah, Americus a id Montgomery rail
road, right or wroDg, as it is regarded as a
home institution that must be sustained
at all hazards.” E. P. Goodman,
the general freight agent of the Sa
vannan, Americus and Montgomery rail
road, says that there is no trouble between
tho Savannah, Americus and M ntgomery
and the Central railroids, but only between
the latter and the cotton shippers and the
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin compress,
in which the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery railroad has no interest ac
count. No rebat.-s are being paid, either
directly or indirectly, by his road,
nor have rates been cut from any points
by him by means of which cotton is
diverted to this place. If any rebates are
being paid to the cotton shippers his road
has no knowledge of it nor connection
with it. The rate from Fort Valley to Sq
vanah, via Americus, is the same as via
Macon and from other non-competitive
points along the Southwestern. The Savan
nah, Americus and Montgomery road has
the legal and traffic right to give a rate to
tho ports via Americus, not less than the
Central's iocal rates to Savannah, the Sa
vannah, Americus aud Montgomery, of
course, paying the Central’s iocal to
Americus out of the t.irough rate given.
Mr. Goodman would have it inferred that
the cotton coming via Americus is merely
tho result of the exercise of a choice of
routes by the shippers at equal rates, and
that, therefore, no rate cutting or rebates
are necessary even if legal.
Sanford Siftings.
Sanford, Fla., Sept. 30.— 1 tis reported,
but not officially, that the following gentle
men were successful in the democratic
primary election on Saturday, Sept. 27: B.
F. Whitner and T. J. Shine, for legislature;
D. S. Shine, clerk of court; W. C. Nutt,
assessor of taxes; I. W. C. Parker, collector
of revenue; James A. Knox, county treas
urer. Tnis is for Orange county.
Sanfordites who have been away during
tho summer months, visiting iu various
sections of the country, are many of them
returning home now. *
Business is assuming livelier aspects now.
Fresh snap beans, young turnips and
other vegetables are beginning to come in

The Grief-Stricken Empress of Austria.
Paris tetter in London Truth.
The figure, having stiffened, has lost the
flexible elegance which was so admired at
the Meiton Mowbray meets. But it still is
lady-like. The face betrays infinite suffer
ing, and has the drawn expression of dry
eyed grief, which is the worst of any. I
was also struck with the da kened color of
the hair and the pale reddish streaks—cer
tain signs of silver gray. Her eyes are still
lovely, but have a (lazed and startled ex
pression. I fancy she hardly realizes the
causes of the grief from which she tries to
escape. As to her dress, it was the plainest
aud commonest mourning. A nun could
not have been more unadorned. As the fit
was not perfect, I dare say it was bought
readv-umde. When the empress went into
the street she went and stood at a print
shop wiudow, to bo (I dare say) quits sure
sho was not followed, and then walked down
a side street to Saint Roche. Her Btep is
now unelastic, and she seemed not to feel
the ground under her feet, walking as if
they were “asleep.”
