KNIGHTS OP HONOR.
‘She Officers Elected by the Grand
Lodge for the Ensuing Yesr.
Griffin, Ga., April 14.— Last night’s
meeting of the Knights of Honor was a
regular old-fashioned camp meeting re
vival. Everybody got happy and every
body was glad to be a Knight of Honor.
And it was all on account of the presence
of the supreme grand dictator. Samuel
Klotz, who preached a genuine ser
mon on the order, its benefits and its ad
vantages. This morning at 8 o’clock be de
livered a public address at Patterson’s hall,
and by this speech captivated a large Grif
fin audience. His theme was life
insurance in general and the Knights of
Honor in particular. He pictured in
eloquent language the beauties if that hus
band and father who by death is denied
supporting his loved ones, but who provides
by life insurance against their future wants.
He contrasted this picture with its opposite,
and undoubtedly made many conver sto
insurance by his speech. Mr. Klotz is a
jolly, good catured gentleman, with a vein
of humor that would crop out in his most
pathetic pictures. At 10 o'clock the 17;h
annual session of the Knights of
Honor adjourned to meet in Aid miu a year
hence. Although in session less than two
days a great amount of work has been ac
complished. It was a working body and
long afier its adjournment will its work be
felt, and no doubt many a home will
be blessed with a life insurance
policy that would not have been
had it not been for t e 17tn annual
meeting of this beneficiary order. The
officers elected for the ensuing year are:
J. B. Wallace of Atlanta, grand dictator ;
W. T. Kerney of Jonesboro, vice grand
dictator; E. L. Purse of Savannah, as-ist
aut vice grand dictator; I. N. Nasi of
Stone Mountain, grand treasurer; E. L.
Elder of Barnesville, grand recorder, A.
Lower of Griffin, grand guardian: W. P.
Reid of Canton, guardian; Mr. Miller of
Somerville, grand ohaplain; O. A. Bla oik
of Fayetteville, outside guardian; repre
sentative to the grand lodge, J. J. Printuu
of R me. Tne i> silion of grand guardian,
with whic h a Griffin gentleman is honored,
is one of great responsibility and import
ance, but the gentleman seleoted is a
inau who knows no word above duty, hence
the choice of tbo order in .-electing Abel
Lower was a wise one. At 2 o’clock the
delegates were shown over the city by citi
zens, wiso delight always to do honor to
guests. The delegates left for home to
night highly pleased with Griffin and her
hospitality.’

cotton, expecting a b.gger price for it this
fall.
The lumbermen of this section have met
here to-day for the purpose of consolidat

Prevalence of Absinthe Drinking.
Froui the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat^
"Absinthe drinkiDg is being carried on
to that extent to-day,” said Dr. J. G.
Brown of Chicago at the Laclede, "that
it would seem to possess an irresistible
temptation for all, but especially young
men, and not only absinthe, but cocaine is
being used in larger quantities than I
believe has been known at any other time.
Borne people may argue that absinthe has
no disastrous quantities. Do not believe in
the argument. Medical science shows that
it is the worst of all stimulating drinks. Its
effects somewhat resemble those produced
by other alcoholic liquors, and some
doctois Lave therefore gone to the extent of
declaring that there is no difference in the
injury it produces. The best authorities,
men who speak from knowledge acquired
both by study and by experiment, show
that when used to excels it produces a men
tal and nervous condition whicn seldom
follows the abuse of ihe strongest of
other intoxicants. Disari angement of the
nerves, unbearable headaches, ter
rifying hallucinations—ail those things fol
low its constant abuse The ultimate end
to which these things lead is apparent to
the least observant puruser of the daily
journals of the country.

OOITEAO’S LAWYER ROBBED.
Lawer Sooville’a Singular Experience
With Burglars.
From the Chicago Newt.
** You be still or I’ll let’ergo,” said a bur
glar to George Scoville late Tnesday night,
as he sat on the edge ot the lawyer’s bed
and held an ugly-looklng revolver In un
pleasant proximity to the legal mind.
Mr. Scoville bad just waked up, noticed
the presence of burglars In the room and
made an inquiry when this injunction was
addressed to him. He made no attempt to
object audibly aud kept perfectly quiet until
the intruders themselves opened conversa
tion. The proved among the must loquaci
ous individuals whom Mr. Scoville had
ever conversed with, and if they now had
only kept thsir promise and returned certain
papers to him the lawyer would be willing to
say they were two of the most companiona
ble young men he ever met, notwithstand
ing the fact that lu addition to the
aforesaid papers they took away his dia
mond stud, gold watch and S3O in money.
OF ASSASSIN QUITEAU FAME.
Scoville is the brother-in-law of the as
sassiu Uuiteau, and won notoriety as the
counsel for the defense in the fam us trial
that followed the snooting of President
Garfield. Later family troubles wore aired
in court, but tbe attorney bad been living
quietly in the city for several years and had
only reoently decided to remove to Indi
anapolis, Iml. To this place he shipped bis
household goods some time ago, aud was
just closing up his business relations here
preparatory to his departure. During this
time he has been living with his stepson, F.
F. Ely, at 265 Booth Lincoln street, in a
house ocoup.ed by Mrs. Carpenter, a widow,
and her invalid son, lately come irom Cleve
land.
Mr. Scoville occupied the baok parlor.
Some time after midnight the lawyer was
awakened by footfalls in his room. He
opened his eyes and in the dim light reflected
into the room from the lamp in the street
Baw a man moving stealthily about the
apartment.
WANTED HIM TO KEEP QUIET.
"What do you want?” asked Mr. Boo
ville.
The intruder made no reply until he had
lighted a match and surveyed the man in
tbe bed. Then making a suspicious move
ment toward his pistol-pocket be said in a
pleasant way:
“1 should like you to keep perfeotly still.”
As he said this another mail entered the
chamber from tbe dining room aud in obe
dience to a gestui'e of the first burglar took
a seat upon the edge of Mr. Bcoville’s bed.
He drew a revolver aud placed it against
Mr. Scoville'a forehead.
The lawyer made no attempt to appeal
from the decision of tee court. Perhaps he
took mental exceptions to tbe ruling and
unoonsclously nodded his head toward an
imaginary stenographer, but he said noth
ing. Looking tow aid bis visit irs he saw that
the flrst man wore a domino, which made it
impossible to see his features, but tne one by
the bedside was undisguised.
HAD ONLY ONE DIAMOND.
“Where are your diamonds?” inquired the
first man, holding a lighted match above his
head and looking hard at Mr. Scoville.
“You had bettor gifve them up and save
trouble,” this with a gesture toward the re
volver in his helper’s uand.
Mr. Scoville replied that he had only odo
diamond—that a small stud in his 6hirt
bosom. He pointed to the garment and the
ma-ked inau secured the gem. Then he
lighted a match and inspected It.
“What is its value,” a ked the robber,
“and where are the rest like it?”
He was to.d that it was worth $25 and
that it was the only one in tne place.
“Now for your money,” continued the
ruffian. ‘'Where do you keep It?”
Mr. Scoville informed him that he had a
small sum in the inside waistcoat pocket.
“How much did you say?” queried the
man. fumliug for the article in question.
“Fifty dollars,” responded Mr. Scoville.
“I paid a large bill to-day and am short.”
“Humph 1 1 should say so,” growled the
robber, counting the bills by the light of a
match. “But where is the safe?”
“There is no safe here;” was the reply.
“No?” said the domino, inoredulously. “1
know better. What is your business?”
“I am a lawyer,” said Mr. Bcovlllo, giv
ing his address, 2<i Illinois Bank building.
“Sav, pard, we struck the wrong joint, I
guess,” said the first burglar to his com
panion, “but we’ll have to make the best of
it. What else have you, mister?”
Mr. Scoville replied that ho had a gold
watch and the thief took that, and when all
this was done the spokesman said: “Now
wo are going through the house and you
warn to keep still or we will have to burn
powder. See?”
PROMISED TO RETURN VhE PAPERS.
Mr. Scoville assenred to the proposition,
but added: “There’s nothing in the house.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1892.
A widow lives here with a sick son and they
are not wealthy. But before you go I want
to say something.”
"Say it quick,” said the masked man.
"You have taken some papers that are
vaiuai/ie to meaud of no use to you. Will
you leave them here}”
"We can’t be detained,” said the thief,
“but we will send them to your address to
morrow. Keep still now or we will kill
you. ”
With this they backed out cf the room,
keeping Mr. Scuville oovered by the re
volver. On their way out of the house they
stole a suit of clothes belonging to young
Ety. They left no clew. Entrance waj ef
fected by way of a kitchen window.

WAITING TO BE ROBBED.
The Passengers Were All Ready for
tho Bandits, But They Came Not.
From the .Yen? Orleans Times-Democrat,
A gentleman from Kansas, who reaohed
the city bv the Mississippi Valley train
which arrived here Wednesday morniDg
tel s a rather interesting story of a sensation
to which he and his fellow-passengers were
treated Tuesday night a short distance from
Vicksburg. The train was flagged at Cleve
land, a small station in a comparatively un
inhabited section, at which passenger trains
are not scheduled to stop. The station offi
cials boarded the train with a badly fright
ened negro, wno informed Conductor Clark
that as he was walking along the traok
about two miles below the station ho had
seen six masked men working at the
track with a crowbar, evidently
bent on displacing the rails and
ditching the train. They had their ponies
tied to trees near the track and every saddle
bad a Winchester rifle slung across it. The
darkey did not oare to disturb them, but as
he was trying to steal away unobserved one
of the would-be train wreckers called out to
him, commanding him to halt. This was
just what the negro did not wish to do and,
plunging into the thicket, he scrambled
tun ugh the thick underbrush and over fallen
logs as rapidly as his legs would carry him.
He had just reached Cleveland in time to
warn the stalion agent to flag the down ex
press.
This was startling news, and Conductor
Clark at once made preparations to guard
his train against attack. Every light, even
to the headlight of the locomotive, was ex
tinguished and Winchester rifles were
placed iu the bands of the train officials,
while the uegro porter was armed with a
revolver and placed in the baggage car to
guard its contents.
Before the lights could be extinguished in
the passenger coaches it was necessary to
inform the passengers of the reason why
such an extraordinary precaution had been
rendered necessary, and th-n it was that
some curious scene 1 were enacted. Some put
their mony in their bo its; others, pulling
off their c ate, stored away small rolls of
bills in their shirt sleeves. Others appeared
to think that the lining of a man’s hat made
a snug little pocket in which to stow away
small sums of paper money. But the dis
posal of their valuables did not appear
to the passengers a matter of such
vital importance as the defense of the
tram and the lives of those upon it.
Money, jewelry and watches were quickly
hidden away, but when it came to fish
ing their pistols out of their valises, “grip
sacks” aud hiD pockets the business of
hiding away valuables was “not in it.” The
Kansas man who told the story said that in
his day ho had seen a great deal of rough
life on the frontier, but he had never seen
anything approaching such a Bhow of fire
arms as was suddenly displayed on that
passenger train in peaceful and urosperous
Mississippi. All the money, he said, on tbe
traiu would not serve to make the first pay
ment on that grim array of flroarms, even
on the weekly installment plan. One man
had no weapon, but he was promptly sup
plied by a Mississipuiau. who had three
44-calibre Colts iu his value. The stranger
acoepted the loan ruther timidly and walked
to the door of the car with it in his hand.
He put his head out into the darkness, and
the first object that met his eyes
were three solemn-looking men with
Winchesters. It was dark and he took
them for robbers. Fortunately he did not
open fire. Ou the contrary, he dropped his
pistol, and running back to the middle of
the oar tried to crawl under a seat In the
meantime, all being ready, the darkened
train ran slowly down the track to within
lUU yards of the spot indicated by the negro
and stopped. No robbers appeared, and
then lanterns wero lighted and a party of
armed men went ahead to search for them,
but they had made their escape. The ad
vance guard found the hoof prints of their
horses in the thicket where the negro had
seen them tied to tbe sapplings, and the
track, though left in good order, gave evi
dence of having been tampered with. Some
thing had evidently disturbed the wreckers
—possi:ily tbe escape of the negro, whom
they know to have seen them—but, at ail
events, the train reached Vicksburg iu
safety.
The Anvil and the Bear.
h ero York Nun.
Henry and Jarvis Camp of Root Hollow,
Wyoming county, miseed a sheep one morn
ing this month, and found bear tracks and
blood in the snow outside of the barnyard
fence. They tracked the bear to a gorge
marly two miles west of their place, where
they lost the track in a hole in the rocks.
There were bits of wool on the edges of the
stones, and the young men, feeliug certain
that they had holed the sheep-killer, went
home and drew a couple of auvils to the
gorge in a sleigh. They loaded one of the
anvils with powder, put the other anvil on
top of it, placed them on a plank and pushed
them as far into the bear’s den as they could.
Then Jarvis applied a slow match' to the
powder, and he and bis brother ran to a sate
distance.
Presently the anvils boomed, the rocks
shook, and the smoke poured out of the
hole. Henry was ready to shoot the bear
with a rifle, expecting that the noise would
drive him out. In a moment the bear
dashed out of another hole a few yards uo
the gorge, ran along a shelving rock, and
dived into a mass of brush just as Henry
fired at him. He didn’t hit the bear, and
the frightened old brute male tracks over
the hill toward the north. The Camp boys
followed him into Highriter’s swamp,
where they gave up the chose in an hour
or so.
That night the bear returned to his den
and stayed in it for eight days. On the
eighth night he came out, walked arouud in
the snow for a while, and went back. The
Camp brothers had visited the gorge every
day nud tney had came to the conclusion
that the tear had devoured the sheep and
was getting hungry again. He gave them
no chance to shoot him, and they made up
their minds to trap him. That afternoon
they nailed a calf’s liver to the truuk of a
treo a few rods down the gorge and bung
one of the anvils fifteeu feet above it, fixing
the rope in such a way that the anvil would
drop to the ground tbe moment the began
to vauk at the bait.
Jarvis went to the g 'rge the next morn
ing, an 1 from a distance he saw* that
the anvil had fallen. He carried a rifle, and
hurrying to the tree he found a wildcat
lying under thelinvil crushed to death. He
got Henry ass en as he could, and the two
pulled the anvil up ngain an ! reset it. On
the third morning Henry found the bear
lying dead with his nose against the tree.
The point of the anvil had been driven
three inches into the bear’s skull. The bear’s
throat was pinued to the roots of the tree,
and the t> Id sheep thief lad died in his
tracks. Ha weighed 334 pounds.

A RUSSIAN PRINCE’S CAREER.
Once a Railroad Fireman in This
Count y , Now a Magnate.
I St. Petersburg t&ussia) Letter in yew York
Tribune.
The reoent changes in the imperial cabi
net have resulted in the promotion of a man
who is of especial interest to Americans. He
was at one time, in fact, an American citi
zen, and earned his bread in a lowly calling
in the great transatlantic republic. The
Russio-Americau to whom I refer is Prince
Cbilkow, who is to be the ohief aid of the
now minister of railways and transporta
ion, one of the most important offices in
the empire.
Few aristocrats of Russia have had ca
reers more romantic—romantic at least in
a certain sense—uni unusual than he. Tho
son of a noble family of the highest class,
as indicated by his name and title. Prince
Cbilko w thirty-five years ago was one of the
marked young men of the capital. His
wealth, title and talents made him a wel
come guest in every home which be visited.
Women flattered hun and men envied him.
But reverses came. His manner of life was
rapid and expensive, and, as a result, after
a few years of luxury, ease and social suc
cess he found himself penniless. But he
was a brave fellow, and looked poverty
squarely in the face. Instead of seeking
some lonely spot in whioh to commit sui
cide, aa have many of bis kith and kin under
like circumstance be determined to begin
life anew.
Bidding farewell to his friends and com
panions of his idle youth, he emigrated to
America, there to seek fame and fortune.
He found neither, but he proved his pluok.
He secured a place as fireman on an engine
in one of the railroad companies of the
oast, and worked as hard as though his
hands had always been used to toil. He
mastered the rudiments of his trying call
ing, became an engineer and finally an as
sistant stationmaster, He had turned his
back so squarely upon his old life that he
was able to save a little money. After get
ting together a few hu dred dollars he re
turned to Russia and became a stationmas
ter at a little town on a railway in the
south at a salary of 1.000 roubles or $450 a
year.
The men of the day in St. Petersburg did
not lose sight of the famous American fire
man, although he was far distant from the
capital; and when Gen. Petrou, a relative
of M. Wyschnegra iski, minister of finance,
resigned, a few days ago, the new minister
of railways called him here as Pretou’s suc
cessor. Chilkow’s star is rising, and.many
of his friends looked upon him as one of the
coming men of the empire. Indeed the day
may not be far distant when the former
American fireman may be one of the chief
advisers of the Czar of all the Russias. Suc
cess has not spoiled him, and court uniforms
and gold laoe will never lead him to forget
the days when he wore the blue blouse of a
laborer.
THEATRICAL HOODOOS.
Many of the Evil Omens That Hove
Over the Profession.
From the Chicat/o Herald.
A person with cross or squint eyes is con
sidered a hoodoo on the stage. Woe to the
company which carries a man or woman
with his or her optics in this condition 1 Ilia -
aster dire will surely overtake them. Like
wise a lameness, a club foot or a deformed
hand will give to the person so aiHicted tho
dreaded title and make it almost impossible
for him to "strut his hour upon the stage.”
To have a cross-eyed person look you
squarely in the face is a sign f bad luok
for thirty days. An antidote to the effect
of the evil eye is to cross your first fingers
on each hand, and then eject spittle three
times through the notch thus formed. To
turn on your heel three times and spit over
your left shoulder will, it is thought, avert
tho evil.
To whistle in the theater during a re
hearsal is a sign that someone will die, or
that you are "piping" a member of the
company out of the engagement. There is
nothing to counteract the evil of this.
There is not a player in the land to-day
who will not think twice before signing
with a company whose total number of ac
tors will be just thirteen. It is considered
by all that not only will the company fail,
but one iff the thirteen who start out will
come back a corpse.
The number thirteen is the great dread of
the profession. A street car, ’bus, hack or
other vehicle numbered 13 will get no pa
tronage from a member of the profession;
and as for sleeping in a hotel room with the
ominous 13 on the door, heaven forefend 1
They won’t do it. Ask why and they will
only say they don’t like to—that’s all! Su
perstitious' O, nol Not a bit! but no No.
13 in their’n.
To rehearse a play on Sunday Is a sure
sign that that play will not be a success for
the manager ordering the rehearsal, and
that salaries will be lost by all who so par
ticipate on the Lord’s day. To twirl a chair
at rehearsals is just as good as betting on a
