GOT S2OO DAMAGES,
Outcome of a Suit for Burning Qam
'* bling Devices.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9.—A verdict was
ito-day rendered in the city court for S3OO
damages against ex-Mayor James W.
■English and Chief of Police Connolly in
aavor of Albert F. Chisholm, the former
laeeper of an Atlanta gambling room, on
account of the destruction of furniture con
fiscated and publicly burned by the order of
those officials three years ago. The pro
ceeding was a most extraordinary one and
created quite a stir at the time. Chisholm's
place was raided by the police in 1883, when
the brethren of the green cloth were driven
out of tbe city, and for five years the
faro tables and other appurtenances
of his establishment were held along with
those of the other concerns of like character
which had been similarly broken up.
Chisholm at length applied to the police
commissioners for the possession of his
property and made some ugly charges re
flecting upon the officials. Their response
was to pile all the gambling furniture and
tools in their possession in a great heap In
front of the artesian well, saturate it with
kerosene and apply tbe match. Chisholm’s
claim was for SSOO damages.
FARMERS DESPONDENT.
Bad Weather and Scarcity of Labor
Causing Heavy Loss.
Fort Valley, Oct. 9.— The farmers of
this entire section are very much depressed,
owing to the continued rain, whioh is dam
aging the cotton crop very seriously. There
are thousands of acres in this county which
have not had a bale picked from them, ow
ing to the scarcity of labor and continued
rains. The effects are very damaging to
trade, which is at a perfect stand-still here.
Cotton is sprouting iu the bolls, and a large
per cent, of it will be lost entirely, to say
nothing about the bad weather lowering the
classification one or two grades, all of which
will cause the farmers heavy loss. Collec
tions. too, are very much affected by the
weather, and they are practically at a stand
still now. Merchants who have notes to
meet Nov. 1 are in grave doubts about their
ability to do so.
Labor of all kinds is very soarce through
out the county, and the price of pioking
cotton has advanced fully 25 per cent, since
the opening of the season.
Great fears are entertained by our busi
ness men from the final effects of the heavy
And continued rains.
Madison Mention.
Madison, Fla., Oct. 9.—Tuesday morn
ing Edmund Griffin, one of our steady

severe fall. He was at work covering the

LOADING DP A PHONOGRAPH.
Darky Voices Beat All Others for This
Purpose.
From the St. Lout* Globe Democrat.
In a little room, without the sign of an
audience, several lusty fellows blew upon,
beat, scraped and otherwise maltreated
their suffering instruments, and mad- all
this noise, moreover, to closed doors in an
atmosphere that was stifling. The rixl-f iced
leader at length cut an unusually broad
swath in the air and tbe selection was fin
ished. Rushing to the window, Prof. Baton
threw up the sash aud inhaled the welcjme
breeze.
But why all this furor in a little room
15x201
They are loading up a phonograph. See
that machine standing on the table, with
the great exaggerated-looking ear trumpet
hung by tbe string from the wall, with its
smaller end fastened to the receiver or ear
of the contrivance? It is really an ear
trumpet, as for ordinary practical purposes
the phonograph is as deaf as any human
that needs the tube. The trumpet is of tio,
about two inches in diameter at its smaller
and four feet at its larger end. The outside
is wrapped tightly round and round with
twine, after tbe fashion of a ball-bat handle,
to deaden a metallic ring and imprison tbo
sound waves.
After turning the cylinder and crying
into the tube in loud tones, “ ‘Down Upon
the Suwanee River,’ rendered bv Prof.
B iton’s Brass and String Military Baud on
Sept. 20, 1890,” the gentleman in charge of
the phonograph set the wheel revolving at
the proper speed, and motioned for tho
music to start up. First, however, he was
careful to close the window, lest some of
the strap s be lost in the outside air, and
the instrument fail to get a good impres
sion. '1 be musicians rendered the plaintl vo
melody with deafening effect, and the
phonograph mau smiled broadly as be
stopped his ears perforce on account of the
din.
“You see,” he affably explained to a
Olobe-Democrnt visitor, "the instrument
has not reached so perfect a form as we
would wish, and we tako this mode of filling
a cylinder. It is absolutely necessary, in
order to get every note, that the room be
very small and the phonograph right up
among the performers. VVe have taken
Gilmore time and time again, but, as wo
been obliged to get as tar off as among tbe
side wings of the Music Hall stage, our re
sults have not been quite up to the mark of
first-class work.
"That will do, gentlemen; I believe that’s
about all I’ll ask of you to-day. Now let’s
have the Dark Secret quartette!”
The exhausted musicians put their instru
ments in their caaes aud slowly filed down
the stairs. John, the office factotum, then
stepped down about half way to the bottom
of the flight, and, placing his fingers to his
lips, drew therefrom what was meant for
the tune of "Climbing Up the Golden
Stair,” Four shining faces appeared at the
dooorway, aud the Dark Secret (Juartet was
soon on deck.
“Now we will change our ear trumpet,”
said the operator, as tbe colored geutlomen
found seats. Detaching the large four-foot
trumpet from the phonograph and string,
be substituted one of similar shape, but of
about ihe size of an ordinary oornet. This
was likewise covered on its outer surface
with cord.
"Now you fellows stand here,” continued
the operator. “No, nearer yet! There,
about throe feet from the trumpet—it don’t
shoot —you’re loading the gun, not firing
it—see what do you sing!” and he paused
partly from want of breath aud partly for
their reply.
"By-by, my Honey, I’m a-gonel"
"Golden Slippah!”
"Bill and the Devil!”
"Well, what do you want to sing?” in
quired the operator with a smile, as be
noticed that tbe fourth man of the Dark
Secret was silent.
"He’ll sing anything,” he answered, with
a broad display of ivories; "Bill an’ de
Deble suits dis chicken.”
“All right, go ahead—one—two—three—
there!”
With a rollicking rhythm and that quaint,
plaintive intonation aud refrain found only
in the throats of the African descendants,
tho, quartette metaphorically unloosened
themselves on the melody that Scanlan
made so popular. All through the old ne
gro’s tale of his trial with the arch enemy,
aDd how at length he had cut the evil one
off with “you cau puzzle all them white
folks with that trash, but you can’t fool
poor black Bill,” the wheel of tbe phouo
graph whizzed merrily, and the operator
kept time with his nodding head.
then the quartette was dissolved, and a
duet was organized with a double banjo ac
companiment. All the old plantation melo
dies that the four could remember were
brought out with a gusto and vim that
would shame Billy Emerson, and caught
upon its cunning waxen bram to be spoken
again may be ten year* bonce in some laud
across the sea.
Then a little child, perhaps a year in age,
was given the place of honor oefore the ma
chine, and the trumpet again changed to
one of somewhat over six inches iu diameter.
The little one gazed in terror at tue formid
able looking contrivance, evidently a stran
ger to such a plaything. The operator
brought out a doll and a toy monkey for
the purpose of getting a hearty laugh from
the child. Try as he would, however, the
baby was all eyes for the phonograph, but
utterly oblivious to tho monkey, although
the operator made the beast swallow the
doll, and vice versa, many times, and per
formed a dozen other antics just as amus
ing.
“If you won’t laugh for me, my dear,”
he at last rather impatiently exclaimed,
“you’ll cry. I guessl We’ll register a good,
hearty boo-hoo, won’t we?” Here the en
thusiastic operator pinched the baby’s plump
arm and threw the doll and monkey in the
corner. Tbe effeot was magical. Now
that the toys were out of all reach, and her
arms smarted hotly from the pinching, the
child obligingly set a most healthy pair of
lungs to work. The phonograph took down
the sobs as they came up from the little
choking throat, and after a sufficient num
ber had been gathered in the wheel stopped.
“Well, my little sugar lump,” oontiuued
the base tormentor, “you can have the
things back, now that we have got what
we want! The cylinder is full and I’ll send
this to New York. Bah, you mean little
imp I You’re laughing, as sure as lam liv
ing, you are! And my cylinder is full, too.
What luck!” and he turned disconsolately
away.
“Yes, it is rather interesting to see us fill
’em up for future generations of men to
listen to. We have all sorts of tunes, though,
and all sorts of bothers once in a while.
Sometimes, when we have a gom of a comic
song nearly through, the singer will stop to
c 'Ugh or blow his nose. The effeot is hor
rible. Think of sitting down in your par
iar with your folks to tho family phono
graph. The Bmg is fine. With the truest
intonation and the sweetest effect imagin
able the singer sings ‘He’s Going to Marry
Yum Yum,’ or some other gem. Just at
the best point he pauses—a long-drawn out
pause. Then you hoar the nose blowing,
and can very well imagine that tho pause
was consumed iu drawing from his ooattail
pocket a red bandana.
“One of the hardest instruments that we
have tried to take is the organ, and the eas
iest is the English concertina. Negroes
take better than white singers, because
thoir voices have a certain sharpness or
harshness about them theta white man’s
has not. A barking dog, squalling cat,
neighing horse, and, in fact, almost any
beast’s or bird’s voice is excellent for the
good repetition on the phonograph.
“It Isn't what it will be ten or even five
years from now. Wait a little while and
we’ll be able to catch your thoughts al
most."

A DRAMA Ilf HEAL LIFE.
ASSASBINATION OF A BEAUTIFUL
YOUNG WIDOW IN PARIS
By a Handsome Russian Youth of
Whom She was Enamored—"My
Poor Carmine, My Beautiful Beloved
la Dead, and I Have Killed Her”—
Thrilling Story From Franca
New York, Oct. 5.—A Dunlap Paris
cable says: A drama of love and murder
has just been enacted at Ville d’Array,
where Gambetta received tbe bullet wound
in bis band, which eventually resulted iu
bis death a few years ago. A handsome
Russian boy of 19,named Peter Vladimiroff,
while traveling in France, met a beautiful
widow, Mme. Carmine Freycinet, who,
with her two children, was traveling for
pleasure. The two became friends. They
walked together, rode together, dined to
gether and spent the long summer days
wandering in tbe woods, while the children
were left to the care of a Durse. Eventually
people began talking of the handsome Rus
sian boy and
THE BEAUTIFUL WIDOW.
So, for tbe sake of appearances, she decided
to leave tbe town. He was inconsolable
for a time, buts on consoled himself with
the favors of another. Tiring of the new
flame, he sought the beautiful widow again,
and asked her for her band. He wrote to
his parents, and after much difficulty con
sent to the union was obtained after declar
ing that he would suicide iu case of refusal.
The twain- then went to Paris, arriving
there last week, and went In for a round of
pleasure. Mme. Freycinet has many friends
iu Pans, and so the couple invited them to
little dinners, which were given at tne most
expensive cafes, aud served in the most ex
quisite manner.
MME. FREYCINET
was more enamored of her handsome boy
than ever. She sang bis praises to her
friends and she caressed him openly and
made a great show of her devotion. Every
body was happy and bright in their society,
but last night some of their friends thought
Vladimir ill’s manner strange. The couple
decided this morning that they would go to
Ville d’Avray for a time, and accordingly
they started and engaged a room in the
hotel. They thoa went for a walk and on
their return they ordered a sumptuous
dejeuner. During the meal Vladimiroff
seemed strangely excited.
Mme. Freycinet grew alarmed, and asked
if he was not well. He calmed her fears,
and assured her he was all right, and for a
time ho became quiet again. Then he
showed her a little revolver he had bought,
and asked her if she did not tbiuk it pretty.
She begged him to put it away, and event
ually he gave it to her.
W hen the meal was over they went to
their room. Everything was perfectly
quiet there, and the servants who passed
the door did not hear any noise or quarrel
ing. In about a quarter of an hour
A PIBTOL SHOT
was heard, and the servauts discovered
Vladimiroff standing in tbe doorway with
the revolver in his hand. He threw the
pistol away, exclaiming: “I have killed my
mistress. Run for a constable. Arrest
me.” After his arrest ho said: “I could not
help it. A sudden impulse came over me,
and a voice seemed to whisper in my ear:
‘Kill her, kill her!’ I fought against it.
Then it shouted: 'Kill her. kill her now!
Now take the revolver from her and do it!’
I could not help myself. 1 made her give
me tbe weapon. Then I said: ‘Carmine, 1
must kill you. Heaven says so. Dial’ I
fired and she fell. Mv poor Carmine, my
beautiful beloved, is dead, and I have killed
her.”
On intering the room in whioh the deed
was done Mme. Freycinet was found lying
ou the floor with a little wound in her
breast. The bullet had gone through her
heart aud death must have been instanta
neous.
Ben Charged Time Like a Plumber.
One morning, when Benjamin Franklin
was busy in the press-room on his newspa
per, says the Youth's Companion, a lounger
stepped into the book store aud spent an
hour or more in looking over the books.
Finally he seemed to settle upon one, and
usked the clerk the price.
“One dollar,” the clerk answered.
“One dollar.” echoed the louuger; “can’t
you tako le9s than that?”
“One dollar is the price,” the olerk an
swered.
The would-be purchaser looked over the
books awhile longer and then inquired:
“Is Mr. Franklin in?”
“Y es, he’s busy in the printing office,” the
clerk replied.
“Well, 1 want to see him,” said the man.
The clerk told Mr. Frankliu that a gentle
man was in the store, waiting to see him.
Franklin soon appeared aud the stranger
said:
“What is the lowest, Mr. Franklin, that
you can take for that book?”
“One dollar and a quarter,” was the re
reply.
"One dollar and a quarter! Why, your
clerk asked me only a dollar just now.”
“True,” replied Fraaklia, "aud I could
have better afforded to take a dollar than to
leave my work.”
The uian seemed surprised, and wishing
to end a parley of his own seeking, said:
“Well, come now, tell me your lowest
price for this book?”
“One dollar and a half.’
“A dollar and a half! Why, you offered
it yourself for a dollar aud a quarter.”
“Yes,” said Franklin, ooolly, "and I had
better have taken that price then than a dol
lar and a half now.”
This was a way of trade which took the
man quite by surprise. Without a word he
laid tho money ou the counter, took his book
and left the store.
The Russians as Haters.
FVom the Christian at Worts,
The Russiaus oat on au average once every
two hours. The climate and custom re
quires such frequent meals, the digestion of
which is aided by frequent draughts of
vodki and tea. Vodki is the Russian whisky,
and made from potatoes aud rye. It is
fiery aud colorless, and flavored withs >nie
extract like vanilla or orauge. It is drunk
from small cups that hold, perhaps, half a
gill. Vodki and tea are inseparable accom
paniments of friendly, as well as of busi
ness intercourse in the country of tho czar.
Drunken men are rare. Russia and Sweden
are the only countries in which the double
dinners is the rule. When yon go to the
house of a Russian, be he a friend or a
stranger, you are at once invited to a side
table, where salted meats, pickled eel, salted
cucumbers, and many other spicy and
appetizing viands are urged upon you with
an impressiveness that knows no refusal.
This repast is washed down with frequent
cups of vodki. That over, and when tho
visitor feels as if he had eaten enough for
twenty-four hours, the host says: “ And
now for dinner.”

WHAT A FAMILY COBTS.
Eztrect from the Diary of a Practical
Man—bhoea Beat kverythlng.
From the Indianapolis Heirs.
What does it cost to bring up a family?
A gentleman, whose experience will be
reoogn:zed as having points in common
with other householders, has preserved an
account of the expei.se to which he has
been in rearing a family of four children.
To-day he entered tho following statement
in bis diary. It might be a valuable fact
for the census takers:
“To-day I close ray diary. Twenty-six
years ago tc-day I undertook to keep an
accurate statement of all my earnings and
expenses, so that I might know actually
how much it costs to live in a married state.
Then all was anticipation. I and my young
wife counted our resources and our ex
pectations. I received sls a week, with the
promise of more. I owned a bouse com
fortable enough for frugal young people to
begin life m. We were spared house rent,
therefore, and our expenses have never in
cluded this item. Retrospectively I see
that we have brought up four childen
in comparatively easy circumstances.
My heaith his been good, and
my earnings have been constantly received.
I now receive S3O a week, and we
still own the homestead, without any great
additions to its wealth, except in an in
creased amount of furniture. I have little
more money than I had when first married.
Perhaps, ah told, I have $3,500 now of as
sets, then I had, perhaps. $3,500. We have
never wanted for bread. Sometimes we
have felt in need of more money. Three
of the children are now making their own
way. Next wees the fourth graduates at
the high school, having received the same
schooling that the others have had, aud will
begin to look out for himself.
"1 shall not necessarily be at any more
expense oa account of my children, and the
diary properly ends now'. Would Ibe able
to go through the sume experience again of
raising a family? I asked my companion,
who had borne the greater part, this ques
tion, and I know that she spoke with a
heart full of love, but wascompelled to say:
‘Not for all that money could buy would I
go through again w. at has been necessary
to rear a family.’
"Expressed in dollars the totals are these:
In twenty-six years we have received from
my wages and incidental moneys that came
through my wife and the children, $40,900
—or, say $40,000 —besides the amonntof in
crease in the permanent assets. Given a
plant of about $3,000 and two employes, a
man and wife, it has taken, therefore, about
SIO,OOO to each man produced. This, of
course, included all employes’ expenses.
Tbe plant is slightly enhanced iu value, but
the employes have seen their best days.
The quality of the goods is yet to be demon
strated. Prospects happily point to cessa
tion of labor and an increase of receipts,
but there is no certainty about this. The
employes are proud of their work, but
don’t want another job.
“Some of the items of expense have been
these: Doctors’ bills (twenty-seven years),
$2,100 (and all paid, probably the first oil
record); groceries, average per week first
five years, $7; next throe, $9; remainder of
the twenty-six years, sl3 a week. For ten
years it has taken ou an average one pair of
shoes per week for the family, in
cluding myself and wife. The most
annoying thing I have ever known is tho
rapidity with wnich ohildren wear out
shoes. Only one thing approaches it—tho
high price of children’s shoos. I never
could understand how, with all the civiliza
tion of the age and the demand for cheaper
results, children’s shoes have not been re
duced in price. The human shoe is a
failure. No man not rich cau afford to buy
shoes for a family, and if I had it to do I
would go to Timbuctoo, where neither
horses, mules, camels nor men are shod.”
