RUSSIA’S FAMINE AREA.
IT 18 NEARLY HALF THH SIZE OP
THE UNITED STATER
Its Population About 4,000,000 Fouls
No Winter Bowing Done in Many of
the Districts and Nothing Bat Want
Staring the PeoDle in the Face—Brig
andage on the Increase.
St. Petersburg, Not. 24.— The area af
feeted by the famine comprises a section of
the empire equalling in size nearly half the
area of the United States, and a very low
estimate places the population of this part
of the oountry at 4,000,000 souls. In many
districts no winter sowing whatever has
been done, and consequently the inhabit
ants have nothing to look forward to, even
should they be so fortunate as to manage to
sustain life through the winter.
RELIEF THAT CAME TOO LATE.
In some provinces the grain given by the
Evernment has reached its destination,
t it has been so long delayed en route that
Its arrival was too late to benefit many of
those for whom it was intended. Enfeebled
by their long abstinence from nourishing
food, hundreds of people could not stand
the cold, which at this season of the year is
intense, and they perished miserably.
In the province of Kazana, which
lies in the eastern part of Euroj ean Hass: a
and where the chief crops are wheat and
rye, 13 per cent of the cultivatible area has
been left unsown. Similar conditions pre
vail in Kieff, in Voronezh and in Khersoo,
all provinces which usually produce im
mense crops of cereals.
DESPERATION OF THE PEASANTS.
The hunger-stricken peasants are daily
becoming more lawless, and acts of brig
andage are occurring more and more fre
quently. A wealthy merchant was capt
ured by a band of these peasants in a vil
lage near the Volga, it being their intention,
It is believed, to hold him for a ransom that
they might thus obtain money
to buy food for themselves and their fami
lies. The villagers made an attack upon
the brigands and finally, after a pitched
battle, they released the merchant and
compelled the brigands to seek safety in
~<light. Two of the would-he kidnapers
were captured by the villagers.

away Marriages.
Bainbridge, Ga., Nov. 24.— Bainbridge
Still continues its popularity as a convenient
point for parties from Alabama to get mar
ried in. It is true that the majority of the
contracting couples come here liecause the
circumstances surrounding a marriage
ceremony at home are not of an agreeable
nature. About once a mouth the Sharon
house entertains a newly married couple,
and CoL Dismuke*, the proprietor, does all
in his power to start them out in life
happily. East night about 7 o’clock
two bashful people arrived at the Sharon
and regi-tered. Tney were J. M. Boat
right and Miss Emma Arrington. Boat
right was up bright and early this morning,
lie seemed a little embarrassed, but sought
the confidence of your correspondent and
unfolded his "tale of woe” He was anxious
to get married and leave on the first train
for Banks, his home. Col. Dismuke* was
introduced to the would-be bridegroom,
and arrangements were immediately made
for the nui tials. Parson McLean of the
Presbyterian church arrived. The It ense
was procured and the marriage took place
in the parlor of the hotel beforo about
twenty witnesses. The bride is quite a
pretty young woman of Its summers and
the groom is a gentlemen of about 25 years
of age. They remarked that the girl’s
parents objected to the match, and so they
thought it the proper thing to be joined In
Georgia. The happy pair took the 2 o’clock
train to-day to return to Banks, when they
will seek the forgivenness of the stern
parents.

in the floor. Several of the amateur fire
men were badly burned. The "Yahoos”
say they will organize a fire department of
their own.

the Council.

age question is assuming humorous phases.

hold a meeting to reject or accept bids for

on business, some in the city won’t attend
the meeting until all are present, while a
few, with regularity, have visited the coun
cil chamber and adjourned on account of no
quorum. Tbe people are laughing at the en

tions, who believe in the principles and indorse
tne republican policy, are cordially invited to

gressional district delegates shall be chosen at

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS ASSAILED.
In the afternoon the committeemen made
statements of the condition of the party in
each of their states. These were generally
hopeful in tone and were received with en
thusiasm. Ex-Gov. Pinchback of Louisi
ana, however, varied the sameness of the
addresses somewhat by indulging in a fierce
attack upon the white republicans of the
south, whom he held to be responsible for the
laek of virility of the party in that section,
and whom he charged with suppressing the
negro vote for fear of race issues. He held
that their pusillanimous policy had resulted
in untold party losses, and tnaiutained that
a few vigorous contests and manifestations
of their rightful power by the southern ne
groes would have a wholesome political ef
fect and redeem the southern states from
the democracy.
PLANS FOR THE CONVENTION.
An important step taken by the com
mittee during the morniug session, was the
reference to the executive committee, with
full power to act, on nil matters connected
with the preparations for the next con
vention. The executive oommittee de
cided to assume active direction of
the matter itself, and arrange for
the hall, printing of tickets, appointment
of the sergeant-at-arms and deputies, ushers
and doorkeepers for the conveution. It will
also take charge of the preparation and
publication of the stenographic reports of
the proceedings. Chauucey F. Meeks of
Colorado was elected sergeant-at-arms of
the next convention.
