CARLISLE A BUSY MAN.
HIS TIME TILL, MARCH 4 TO BE
FULLY OCCUPIED.
His assignation From the Senate
Takes hffect'Feb 4—A Great Deal of
Informal Advice Given Him by Lis
Colleagues In the Senate Yesterday.
Won’t Bother With the Offices.
Washington, Jan. 16. —Senator Carlisle
was in great demand in the Senate to-day.
His colleagues all understood after his re
turn from New York that he had told Mr.
Cleveland he would accept the treasury
portfolio, but they bad not expected that
he would resign so soon from the Cenate.
Senator Carlisle refused to be interviewed
by newspaper men, and did uot talk about
It geuerally to senators, but he did admit to
his more intimate friends that to-mor. ow
or next day his resignation would go to
Frankfort, and that his resignation wiuld
take effect oi Feb. 4. As Mr. Carlisle is
expected to see Mr. Cleveland very soon,
he had to listen to-day to a great deal of
advice informally offered by bis colleagues
in the Senate, who realize the faot that he
is to be Mr. Cleveland's cbief adviser
before tbs cabiuet is made up, as well
■s after. Mr. Carlisle’s well-known
kindness might be imposed on it be were to
remain much longer in the Senate, for most
ail his oolleagues have some information or
suggestion which they would be glad to have
conveyed to Mr. Cleveland through suob an
advantageous medium.
OTHERS IN THE CABINET.
Mr. Carlisle still desires and it is said ex
pects that Col. William R. Morrison and
either John Randolph Tucker or William L.
Wilson will be selected as among his as
sociates in the cabinet. It is understood
chat Mr. Carlisle desires to confine bis per
sonal attention when be comes to the treas
ury to question! of polioy, and that Mr.
Cleveland proposes to arrange tilings so
that Mr. Carlisle shall not be bothered with
anatters of patronage. Mr. Carlisle's days
from March 4 until the expected meeting of
congress in September will necessarily bo
largely taken up with the labor of prepar
ing anew tariff bill to take the
place of the McKinley act, and at the same
time he will probably be obliged to do
some skillful financiering in order to tida
tbe treasury department over the shoals.
If tbe present oongress adjourns without
•topping tbe purchase of silver bullion Sec
retary Carlisle will also bs preparing during
that period a bill to take tbe place of the
Hberman law. It is evident that he will
Lave bis hands full without settling apolnt
xnents, even if the situation is not com
plicated by a possible spring session.
LONG AND SHORT HAULS.
A Casa Involving Millions of Dollars
Being Heard at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16.—The hearing of
tbe case involving tbe “long and short haul”
clause in the interstate commerce oommis
aion act, in which tbe Interstate com
merce commission claims that cer
tain railroads have violated tbe law,
was begun before Judge Newman in
tbe United Statos district court to-day.
Tbe roads made parties to tbe suit are
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cific railroad, the Western and Atlantic rail
road and the Georgie railroad. They are
represented by lawyers from various sec
tions. Coleeton & Hoadlev of Ciuoinnati
appear for the Cincinnati, "New Orleans and
Ttexas Paciflo, Ed Bockstock of Nashville
for the Louisville and Nashville, Payne &
Tye for the Western and Atlantic, Hillyer
& Lee and JoeopU B. Cutmning of Augusta
for tbe Georgia railroad. Tne interstate
commission is represented by United States
Attorney Darnell, Robert L. Berner and A.
G. Safford of Washington, D. C.
It is claimed by the roads that if the de
cision of tbe court is against the railroads
there will be a falling off of fully $1,000,000
iu the freight revenues of the lioes in
Georgia in commerce. The point involved,
and it lias been banging fire ia the
courts since shortly after the pass
age of the interstate commerce law,
is whether railroads shall be permitted
to give a lower rate between competitive
centers than to looal stations. It was
stated this morning by the counsel for the
Georgia railroad that should this case be
decided adversely to the roads, tbe result
will be tbe raising of througn freight rates
to Atlanta to tbe level of local rates, and
will Increase tbe freight expense of Atlanta
dealers from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 a year.
Mavannab would be heavily affected. " The
argument ot the case will begin to-morrow
morning. Each side will be allowed six
hours to discuss it.
CARRIAGES COME HIGH.
Actor Manefleld Objected to Paying
$4 at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16 —Richard Mans
field, tbe actor, left a first-class record as a
kicker behind bim in Atlanta, and as a
kloker in an exceedingly bad light, too.
Hatnrday night the rain poured down so
(leroely that Mr. Mansfield ordered a car
riage to carry him and bis wife to the the
ater from bis private car. When tbe bill
wae presented to bim on Sunday he refused
to pay it, claiming that the amount charged,
whioh was $4, was exorbitant. The ootor was
obdurate in bit refusal, offering to com
promise by paying $2, and only handed
over the money when the livery siabls man
started off to invoke tbe law in hie behalf,
after having already made several visits to
the actor’s room to collect his bill, the
amount of whioh was the regular price
charged for a carriage on such occasions.
Mansfield and bis wife walked from the
theater after the performance Saturday
Might, thinking to avoid the payment of the
bill in that way, or at least" reduce the
amount. He received $3,000 for his three
performances in Atlanta, but kicked on a
#4 carriage bill

Tbe Georgia Congressmen to Make an
ADpe.il in a Body.
Atlanta, Ga. , Jan. 16.—Gov. Northen
has received communications from the
: military of Savaunah. Macon and Augusta
asking him to use bis influence to have the
I order relieving Lieut. Satterlee, who has
lieeu for two years acting as assistant adju
tant general of the state militia, from
further dutv in Georgia, rescinded. The
governor deems Lieut. Hatterlee’s services
to tbe suite service very highly, and the
spontaneous movement among tbe mili
tary men to have bun continued in tbe
state’s service by the government met with
his hearty approval. In consequence of this
sentiment expressed beat once telegraphed
to Speaker Crisp askmg him to get the
Georgia delegation in congress to go in a
body before the Secretary of War and urge
that the order recalling Lieut. Satter.ee he
revoked. In reply lo this telegram Gov.
Northen has received a message from
Speaker Crisp stating that the Secretary of
1\ ar is at present out of tbe city, but ihat
at soon as he returns the governor’s request
ill be complied with. In view of these
facts ir. is very probable that I.ieut. Setter
lee will be c litinned in the service of tbe
state. Tbe order transferring Lieut.
Sat'erlee back to bis regiment it be
lieved to have been issued on acoount
of reports having reached Washington to
the effect that he as unpopular with the
officers of tbe state militia, and that besides
his services were really not needed here.
Tbe opposition to Lieut. Satterlee, who is
indorsed hy the military board of the state,
is due to tbe disappointment of several
companies, mainlv located in Atlanta, who
were defeated in prize contests in which lie
was a judge some years ago, before he was
detailed as assistant adjutant general.
A RUMPUS OVER INGERSOLL.
Objection Raised to Bringing Him to
Atlanta to Lecture.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16, —Atlanta has
been [dunged into another state of unrest
following closely after the triangular dis
cussion between Dra. Hawthorne and Cand
ler of Emory College on one side and Mrs.
Dr. W. H. Felton on the other, over the
whereabouts of Jay Gould, who was located
in the shades of hades by Dr*. Hawthorne
and Candler, and the cburcb-going com
munity is well nigh ready to overstep the
bounds. This later fever bas been brought
on by tho announcement that Bob Ingersoll
is about to be Invited to lecture in this city.
The announcement had scarcely been
made, or rather the rumor that Col.
Ingertoil might be brought here was
till young, when Dr. H. C. Morrison,
speaking for his church, oame out in a
newspaper card protesting against a lecture
by the notorious unbeliever, and charging
those who would invite him here with a
terrible responsibility. It is feared that
Col. Ingersoll will say something in his
lecture, though tbe subject of his proposed
address bas never been made public, that
would utterly demoralize the community.
Tbe looal press has taken up tbe protest and
the hostility toward those connected with
tbe move to get Col. Ingortoll here is so bit
ter tnal should they persist there is no pre
dicting what sensation will result.

TALLAPOOSA'S ELECTION.
Tba Southern and Northern Elements
Rival* at tbe Poll*.
Carrollton, Ga., Jau. 16.—A hot rrce
for city officers for Tallapoosa ended Satur
day. Tbe race for mayor was hot aud ex
citiug, for the reason that the “yankee”
was the bone of contention. Tallapoosa's
population is about half from tbe north,
and these northerners want to control the
politics of the town, whioh is seriously ob
jected to by tbe southern element. The last
mayor of the town was a gentleman from
Connecticut. The late race was between Col.
G. R. Hutchens, an original Georgian, and
Col. W. W. Summerlin, wno was the candi
date of tbe northern element. The race
was one of the most exciting and bitterest
ever known in the town. The vote stood:
Hutchens, 175; Summerlin, 148. So the
southern boys were victorious. The north
ern crowd eleoted some of Its council,
though.

Tbe Cold Snap—Caught Stealing From
tbs Railroad Warebouae.
Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 16. —The
weather for the past ten days bas been
wbat the English sailor would call
‘"nawsty,” and its degree was told every
day by tbe long faces of our truckers.
Strange to sey, however, that beyond the
yellowing of young lettuce and the nip
ping of tender lea\**sof those heading, there
has been no damage done tbrougbt tbe
fifteen days succeeding New Year's. Ice
formed Saturday morning three-quarters
of an inch thick and the earth
in places was frozen to the
depth of two inches. At 11 am. yesterday
there was ice still in the ditcbee along tbe
roadside and on the ponds. Sunday morn
ing a fine shower of rain fell, after which
the sun came out bright and warm, holding
the mercury at noon to-lay at 55°, with a
balmy breeze binning from the southwest,
with all oi which tbe farmers were intensely
C leased. Where tbe foliage was large some
looms and even berries escaped all of the
intense cold and are glowing red and rosy
from tbeir green backing.
For some time past J. Harry Tench of
the office force of tbe Savannah, Florida
and Was tern railroad has, while attending
to hit duties late at night, heard wago s
stop along side tbe warenouse. Last night
w hen he beard the sound again be went out,
but found a oountryman passing. How
ever, before leaving the office for supper he
told Harry Runkle and others of his
suspicions. They soon heard the noise of
approaching wheels aud the wagon halted
at toe warehouse. They went to it aud
found a negro named Rufus Gloss loading it
with tobacco, soap, oil, etc., which bail toon
concealed in an old refrigerator by a negro
named Brown, who runs a store near the
Florida Central aud Peninsular railroad de
pot. and who was at the time (Saturday
night) an employe of tho Sava;mah, Flor
ida and Western. Glass at once gave
Brown away, and Agent Wood, with the
sheriff and his faithful lieutenants. Tench
and ltunkle, went to tbe house of Brown,
capturing him and quite au amount of
stolen property. Brown is now in the
Alachua hotel with other boarders of his
class. How the whipping post is needed
here!
Dr. King and F. X. Miller, two prom
inent men here, are pitted against each
other for the postofflee. Miller has mane a
proposition to King s friends to leave the
matter to a vote of the people receiving
their mail nt this office, but King, it is
thought, feels too sure of hie strength with
Senator Call, having stood by him in his
recent contest before the legislature for
senator. The people, however, would
like to have the matter settled at
the polls, whiob they believe to
tbe only way by which trading in politics
in the matter of postofflee nppolntment*
can be squelchtd. A brother of Dr. King is
ciphering for the postofflee at Ocala and
his brot ber-in-law, Senator Hoseb. rough
of Windsor, is trying to figure himself into
the land office, as is also ex-clerk of our
court, J. A. Carlisle. But ''Jeems Elick,"
it is said, claims to hold the keys of all
these doors.
Mr. Williams, an associate in business
with E. Leyburue, an extensive
orange and vegetable buver aod
packer of the city, says Ibat toe orange
crop has not been hurt In this seotion by the
late cold snaps. The originators of the rock
rood to Newnan't lake have abandoned the
idea and ins ead propose to make it a rail
mad. The building of the Savannah, Florida
and Western from Inverness to t-'anta Fe
river will leave Gainesville in the outer dark
nees, and our only hope then is the Florida
Central and Peninsular's connection
with tbe South Bound or a spur to
tbe Georgia Southern aod Florida at Lake
Butler. If tbe Florida Central and Peuin

A three-cornered fight for the mayoralty

Carrollton. Ga. , Jan. 15.—Tho "boom

There were not 'more than half a dozen

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
The Republicans Leave it Without a
Quorum and Nothing Accomplished.
Washington, Jan. 16.—1n the House to
day a demand for the regular order from
Mr. Kilgore prevented consideration of sev
eral private bills which members desired to
call up. Then, for almost an bour. tbe time
of the House was consumed in the consid
eration of a resolution to which there was
not tbe slightest opposition in any quarter
anil which was finally adopted without ob
jection. It was one cubing upon theexeou
live departments for information as so the
number and amount oi war claims allowed
or disallowed by such departments.
Then a motion to suspend tie rules and
pass a bill to settle the claims of Arkansas
and other states under swamp land grants
failed to se> ure the necessary two-thirds
vote and was therefore defeated.
Mr. Chipman. from the committee on the
election of tbe President and Vice President,
moved to suspend the rules and pass a joint
resolution providing for the election of sen
ators of the United .States by popular vote.
Mr. Ixulge, senator -elect from Massachu
setts, demanded a second.
The republicans refrained from voting
and left the House without a quorum; al
though it was but three short Then Mr.
Reed moved for a call of the House.
Mr. lteea’s motion was defeated, yeas 6,
nays ltd, and the tellers returned their
place:. A quorum appeared aud the motion
to suspend the rules was seconded.
In a 2-mmute speech Mr. Lodge opposed
tbe measure, but the motion to suspend the
rules aud pats it was agreed to w ltbout a
division.
The House then, at 4:20 o’clock, ad
journed.
A WONDBOUB BBA STOXY.
One Billow Sweeps a Bailor From His
81itp, Another Brings Him Back.
From the New York Tribune.
After a terrifio combat with winds and
waves the British steamship British Prince
came into port yesterday with the story of
a rescue more startling than auything Clark
Russell ever dared to write. The British
Prince came from Mediterranean ports. As
soon as she got outside the straits of Gibral
tar she encountered tbe fierce gales which
have been recently making such havoc on
tbe Nor.h Atlantic. Bhe is not a large
steamer, and though staunch and well found
she had a hard time of it, the waves break
ing over her decks and pounding her back as
she struggled to advance. Still, inch by
inch she struggled on, until her or el began
to give out, ami she ran into Bt. Michael’s,
in the Azores for a fresh supply. After
leaving Bt. Michael’s she met the same
kind of weather av before, and had it up to
Sandy Hook. When 460 miles east by
south of Sandy Honk the steamer sighted
what Capt. Inins, who commands the Brit
ish Prince, thought was a pilot boat. A
heavy southwest ga'o was blowing and a
tremendous sea was running. The sup
D sed pilot boat was headed south, aud bud
not a stitch of canvas up. Hhe was appar
ently deserted. Tbe pilot commits oners
say there is no pilot boat in that region
from New York, and none at sea for which
any fear is felt. Still Capt. lunis thinks it
w as a pilot boat.
It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the
supposed pilot boat was sighted. Three
hours later, os the captain was eating ms
supper, and doing so with considerable diffi
culty on account of the pounding an 1 the
rolling of the ship, and tbe second officer
w as on the bridge, a great wave, which tne
first offioer says was “like a cliff,” came
over the bows, carrying away everything
before it. Tbe Swedish boatswain of the
ship, Charles Lastidius, was on what is
called tbo "fly bridge,” a structure extend
ing out in front of ihe real bridge. He saw
the cliff of water falling on him aud grasped
a stanchion. Btanchion and man wore
swept away like leaves before a hurricane.
Tbe second officer saw the b atswain rise on
tbe top of a wave chose on the starboard
band. It was bright starlight, so the strug
gling man could be seen as be was swept
along on the great surging billows, and be
was shoutiug for help.
Thomas Jones is tho second officer’s name,
and Mr. Jones made oue of tbe greatest
casts of the kind ever read of in seafaring
tales. He grabbed a life buoy which was
haugirg handy on the bridge, and threw it
out into the waves with such precision that
it settled down over the boatswain’s head,
just a9 Deople at Coney Island throw rings
over cheap canes in tho booths of tne
“fakirs" in summer time. Ttio man pulled
it down under bis arms, and though the
water was so intensely cold that it numbed
him, struggled bravely for life. The cap
tain, hearing the cry of “man overboard,”
ran on deck aod ordered the ship backed
down toward where the boatswain could be
teen, liningcn the top of the giant wavis
in the starlight, and driving to the north
east. The .-taarnor backed down past the
man, trying to get near bim, and then a
great wave swept him around the bows to
the front side of the ship. Then he was
swept away into the night and Capt. lunis
lost sight of bim.
But the captain heard a loud cry from
him, and noting a star in the direction from
which the cry came be steered by that star
and soon saw him again bobbing like a cork
on the ioaming crusts of the starlit waves.
The 6teamer ran toward tbe struggling man
and then close to him, until be was just
abeam close aboard. Agrea wave reared,
itself with the boatswain on its crest and*
dashed him against the vessel’s rail. He
grasped it as a drowning man would, and
the vave, receding, left him there. Tbs
man was dazed, as well he might be, and
clung so tightly to the rail that it took five
of his shipmates to loaen his hold and carry
him below. Hot water, hot whisky and hot
cloths soon brought bim around all rigbt,
and when the British Prlnca arrived here
yesterday he was none the worse for bis re
markable ad ventura.

to escape the severe nortnem winters he
has decided to settle permanently in one
of the largest cities of Georgia, his native
state But before making a choice of
location, he thought best to practice a
brief period in each of the larger cities of
the state, which will enable him to decide
more intelligently and at the same time
make a reputation that will be valuable to
him in future years.
We give below a few brief clippings
from newspapers in different parts o f
Pennsylvania as an index to Dr. Moore's
standing in that state, where he has prac

A STARTLING FACT.
Thst very few persons have perfect eye*. It
must b evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need e .and
tn fit them properly with glasses Those wno
trust this work to uninilruct 'd dealers are
criminajy careless of tbe most valuable of all
the sense*, their eight. Ineddltion to gradu
ating in Germany and rav thirty years' practieal
< xpe ience I have tsken a course and gradu
ated In a school of optics in New York and
learned the latest and next methods of ascer
taining the different defects of the eye* and
their proper correction, so tnat 1 can fit you
properly with glasres that will strengthen and
improve your eyrtlght instead of rapidly ruin
ing it, as poorly fined glasses will always do.
