Commencement Exercises at Mil

Industrial College and the Georgia
Military and Agricultural College.
Milledgevllle, Ga., June 12.—Millodge
villc is in the midst of her commencement
season to-day and the fact that the enm
nn nceroonts of both her colleges are being
held together makes the season doubly
gay.
The exercises at the. Georgia Normal
ami Industrial College to-day were differ
ent from those ever held by any other in
stitution in the state. They consisted
simply of an exhibition of school work,
and a large crowd went through all the
rooms inspecting the display work of the
normal and industrial departments.
In the collegiate class rooms were the
examination papers. These show that
the quality of work done here is of a very
high average grade, and good, honest
work it is.
Avery beautiful exhibit are the her
bariums of the subfreshnmn class in
bo'any under Miss Jones.
In the normal department is an unique
display of lesson plans in history, lesson
plans in reading and science work. The
work of the model school pupils under the
training class teachers consists of color
drawing, printing and modeling exercises
and a bewildering variety of hard work
by the little folks of the model school.
This normal training under Prof. Bron
son and his assistants is eminently prac
tii al teacher training work.
The exercisi s were interspersed by
choruses and instrumental solos of a
charming sort, showing the admirable
work of Mrs. Lamar, the head of the
music department.

preparing dishes under the eye of hun
dreds of visitors, and the girls in their

as tempting ns the dainties they were
fixing. They spread a repast of their
own cooking at 4 :.“0 o’clock in honor of
the hoard of lady visitors, the legislative
committee and 1 he trustees.
The dressmaking class, witli eighteen
graduates, had a reception in their par
lors all the afternoon. They were very
charmingly decked in all sorts of dresses
of their own handiwork.
The whole college is a blaze of glory of
al! sorts of art, the work of Miss Ellis’
pupils.
Very remarkable work is shown in the
business departmentof bookkeeping.type

The morning was taken up at the Mid
dle Georgia Military and Agricultural
College to-day by an elocutionary contest
for gold medals and a literary address by
Hon. John T. Boifeuillet of Macon. Prob
ably the largest crowd ever assembled in
the old capitol building gathered to-day
to hear Mr. Boifeuillet’s address, which
was a masterful effort, abounding iu the
rarest gems of literary thought and such
a one as could only emanate firm a gifted
mind and a wonderful conception. The
speaker seemed at his best and made a
sjilendid impression upon his audience.
This afternoon a sham battle between
the artillery and infantry companies of
the Cadet corps was fought in the college
campus. This was one of the leading
features of the commencement exercises,
and was witnessed by more than 1,000
people.
To-night, from 6to 8 o’clock, the col
lege literary societies had their annual
banquet. This college has no exercises
to-uight but will join in tendering an ova
tion to the distinguished Nebraska gen
tlemen now in the city.

Athens, Ga., June 12.—Yesterday after
noon Carrs' branch came very near being
the scene of a bloody tragedy. About 2
o’clock, lx>n Drake and another white
man passed a crowd of four negroes, who
were very boisterous. Drake says that i
he passed a negro named Wintry, who in
sulted him. and with a word or two the

Drake over the eye. inflicting a wound
that is dangerous and may prove fatal.
The negro escaped.

GAVE THE POLICE THE SLIP.
A Giddy Widow and a Slick Drummer
Off on a Lively Lark.
Atlanta. Ga . June 12. —On Wednesday
I last a well-dressed and pretty young
! woman wearing widow's weeds entered
the Kimball house and registered from
| Jacksonville. She asked if L. Edmonds
J was in the hotel, ami expressed disaii-
I pqintinent when told that he was not.
The young lady left the hotel Thursday
and went to a hoarding house on Houston
i street, and Friday the expected Mr. Kd-
I moods, a New York drummer, arrived.
When he came he was introduced as L.
Hoffman, and the next day the two
I disappeared. The police were notified that
the couple was at a hotel registered un
j der an assumed name. They had left
; the hotel, however, and were discovered
at the union depot early yesterday morn
j ing. where they were waiting for an east
ern train. When the young woman was
told that she would have to accompany
the officer to the police station she did
some pretty crying, and Edmonds-Hoff
man said he had a wife and three chil
dren in New York, and that they would
suffer and he would lose his place if he
was arrested. The young woman said
she would go to her Florida home if al
lowed to and after separating
the couple Capt. Moss allowed
them to go. It seems that
the New York drummer is a slick citi
zen. He succeeded in evading arrest by
blarneying the Atlanta police and finally
left on the same train with the Jackson
ville widow, despite her promise to go
back home if permitted to. Both are
doubtless in New York by now.
SAM JONES RAMPANT. *
He Preaches in Favor of Hanging
Every Barkeeper
Atlanta. Ga., June 12.—Rev. Sam Jones,
the evangelist, is to-day the subject of
more than his usual share of comment
and criticism by Atlanta people. Yester
day at the Edgewood Avenue tabernacle
the Rev. Sam spoke of the Stocks ease.
He is an uncle of Dorter Stocks, who
killed Alpheus Cassin, and on the first
trial was convicted of murder in the first
degree without recommendation. Rev.
Jones was particularly severe on bar
keepers, whom he blamed with his
nephew's crime. He stated that had it
been in his power to have appeared be
fore the jitt-.v he would not only have
cleared Stocks,but would hang“every bot
tle. bellied, bull-neeked barkeeper in At
lanta.” That Sam Jones, whose nephew
escaped death for a crime for which many
have been hanged should,with reference to
that case, advise hanging other people, is
remarkable in itself, but it was remark
able when it developed to-day that a bar
keeper was on the Stocks jury and voted
from first to last for acquittal. To this
barkeeper, John H. Cooper, more than any
other man, Stocks owes his escape
from tile gallows. Mr. Cooper, mainly to
whose efforts the compromise verdict of
manslaughter is due, is the proprietor of
several barrooms. He says Rev. Jones
was present with Stocks’ counsel when
he was chosen as a juror and no objection
was made to him. He knew his business.
Porter Stocks will very probably he re
leased on bond pending an appeal to the
supreme ♦ourt on the plea of former
jeopardy.
OPENING OF THE FAIR.
The Methodist Preachers of Atlanta
Denounce the Action.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.-—The Methodist
preachers of Atlanta met to-day and
passed the following resolutions con
demning the opening of the world’s fair
on Sunday:
Whereas. The directors of the world's fair
at Chicago have opened the gates of the expo
sition on the Lord's day. thereby repudiating
their agreement with the national govern
ment, disobeying the laws of congress and
desecrating the Lord's day; therefore.
Resolved. By the Methodist preachers of
Atlanta. Ga.. that we heartily and unquali
fiedly condemn such dishonest action on the
part of the directors of the world s fair as
a reproach to our nation, a scandal to this
Christian republic, and a blot upon the Co
lumbian exposition.
Resolved, That we urge our people to stay
away from the world's fair if this Sunday
opening continues.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions,
signed by our chairman and secretary, be for
warded to President Cleveland, and also to
President Higginbotham of the world's fair
directors.
WATTERSON IN ATLANTA.
The Editor Never to Enter Another
Political Convention.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—Hon. Henry
Watterson, the well-known Kentucky edi
tor, passed through Atlanta to-day en
route to LaGrange, where he delivers a
commencement address. He was to have
been one of the speakers and guests at the
banquet by the Young Men's Democratic
League Wednesday night to Congressman
Bryan of Nebraska, who comes here to
deliver a political address, but while in
the city tendered ills regrets. Col. Wat
tex'son among other interesting things
told the newspaper reporter that it was
true that he had determined never to
cross the threshold of a political conven
tion again, state or national, and never
again to make a political speech. He did
not, however, go into details as to his
reasons.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Drunkenness No Excuse for Voting
Twice at a Primary.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.—The supreme
court in a decision to-day upheld the
superior court of the Chattahoochee cir
cuit in deciding that McCook of Columbus
was guilty of violating the recent act for
the protection of primaries. The act is
declared constitutional, and drunkenness
is held to be no excuse for voting twice
unless the prisoner had been made drunk
for the purpose of inducing him to com
mit the crime.
The supreme court also confirmed the
judgment of the lower court in the case of
the negro Pritchett,convicted of participa
tion in the Decatur riot in 1887, when
Marshal Hurst, was killed, and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life.
HILL STILL IN JAIL.
His Bond Fixed at 512,000 and No
Effort ISade to Give It.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12.- Harry Hill's
bond is now $12,000. It was lixed b,v So
licitor Hill to-day, but so far no efforts
have been made to give it. The chances
are that his case will be heard at the
special term of the superior court in July.
Donald Bain, one of the grand jurors,
said to-day that that body is through
with Hill. They have found about all tlio
true bills they can against him. and, in
fact, reached the bottom of the case.

EAT RAT POISON.
A Farmer of Haralson County Shuttles
Off the Mortal Coil.
Carrollton, Ga . June 12 Van Sum
mcrville, a well-known farmer of
near Buchanan, Haralson county, coin
niitted suicide yesterday by eating a i
whole Ikix of rat poison. Summerville I
has always Im-cii consideris! agoodciti-en,
and the real cause for this act is not
known, but it is hinted that he was finan- |
daily involved and killed himself to get |
rid of his debt burden. When the third
party was organized Mr. Summerville
joined it and thought the oceans of free
silver that the leaders spoke of would
settle his debts and put him
on his feet again, but
as his party failed and consequently
“free silver" did notcome, he despaired of
ever getting rid of his debt and decided to
kill himself He was sitting in his house
Saturday and talking to his wife, when
all at once he sprang for his gun and tried
to kill himself, but by an almost super
human effort his wife took the gun from
him and prevented the husband shooting !
hi* brains out in the presence of his sweet
little children. Sunday morning about j
9 o’clock Summerville procured a full box i
of “rough on rats” and ate the entire
(mix. He told his wife what he had done
and a physician was sent for, but pioor
Summerville was dead before the physi
cian arrived.
Desperado Graham.
Waycross, Ga., June 12. —The city has
released its claim on Harrison Graham,
the negro desperado who attempted to
kill Ea Cason, the guard, a few days ago. j
He has been turned over to the county
authorities on a warrant sworn out by
Mr. Cason of assault with intent to mur
der. There are four other charges against
Graham. His ease for assault with in
tent to murder will come up at the No
vember term of the superior court, and it
is probable that he will get twenty years
in the penitentiary.
Board of University Visitors.
Athens, Ga , June ]2.—The members of
the board of visitors appointed by the
governor to visit the University of Geor
gia and look into affairs thoroughly and
report upon them to him, are arriving in

N. Slaton of Atlanta, Prof. B. M. Zettler
of Macon, Prof. M. L. Brittian of At
lanta. Prof. D. E. Davant of Covington,
and Prof. Joseph B. Stewart of Marietta.

cators. They go to work in the discharge
of their duties at once.
Thomasville Topics.
Thomasville, Ga.. June 12.—Rev. A. M.
Wynn preached the commencement ser
mon yesterday for the Young Female Col
lege. The sermon was exceptionally ap
propriate, chaste and profound.
Four small frame stores on Jackson
street were burned yesterday morning.
They were owned and occupied by ne
groes and the loss is small but complete,
the property having been uninsurable.
Cause, incendiarism.
Abbeville’s School Split.
Abbeville, Ga., June 12.—The patrons
of Abbeville high school are hopelessly
divided. The disaffected faction with
drew some weeks ago and elected a board
of trustees of their own, and organized
the Ocmulgee Baptist high school. The
two schools, the Ocmulgee Baptist high
school and the Abbeville high school,
have elected, respectively, Prof. J. C.
Mosse and Prof. W. M. Conner, as princi
pals.

LUCY COBB INSTITUTE.
The Commencement Exercises in the
Seney-Stovall Chapel.
Athens, Ga., June 12. —The Seney-
Stovall chapel was crowded this morning
ami evening with those who are attending
the commencement exercises of Lucy
Cobb Institute. On both occasions the
exercises gave great satisfaction. Savan
nah was well represented by Miss Marie
and Miss Lola Moynelo. In the
morning both Miss Marie and
Lola Moynelo had parts in
the programme which they executed with
so much satisfaction that they won much
applause. In the evening they were
again among the leading performers on
the piano, each having a solo, and Miss
Marie had a part in the cantata entitled
the “Gypsy Queen.” The commence
ment is a very successful one.
Among those who are considered as
probable winners of the elocutionary
medal is Miss Leola Garrett. Her recita
tion was very fine, easy graceful and
highly complimented. The programme this
morning was elocution contest. The se
lections were rendered in an easy, grace
ful, natural and unaffected style. The
contest from first to last was spirited.
Each young lady seemed striving to win
the handsome medal offered by Mrs.
Lipscomb, the teacher in the department
of elocution. The medal has not yet been
awarded, but able critics are of the
opinion either Miss Garrett, Pattie
Jones or Callie Windsor will
win. It will be hard to decide between
these. Each seemed perfect in her reci
tation. Lola Moynelo in “Spanish
dances,” delighted the entire audience.
Her every movement is grace, and with
her great personal beauty it made her the
most attractive figure on the stage. At
to-night’s concert over fifty young ladies
participated. The selections were all
classical and by the best composers. The
musical talent at the institute this
year is especially good, and
the lovers of music were
charmed by the many excellent rendi
tions. Those who deserve special men
tion are the Misses Moynelos of Savannah,
Pearl Jackson of New York and Mabe
Hodgson of Athens. The concert was
closed by a pastoral cantata, a gypsy
scene, which, on account of the brilliancy
of the costumes, made it very attractive.
The concert was conducted by Misses
Tyler, Barnett and Moore, the teachers
of music.
NO SCARE AT ALBANY.
The Banks of the City Hold 85 Per
Cent, of Their Deposits in Cash.
Albany, Ga., June 12. —'The situation
following the suspension of Hobbs &
Tucker’s bank is most flattering to Albany.
The depositors have accepted the situa
tion calmly, feeling assured that they will
get their money at an early date. In
addition to the bank’s capital Capt. R.
Hobbs has pledged l\is private fortune to
the payment of every depositor. This
will be done as fast as the bank’s resources
can be turned into ipouoy, and after this
is done Die . firm of Hobbs & Tucker,
bankers, which has for years done an
enormous business through this section,
and which by its kindness to its patrons
has brought about their present troubles,
will be dissolved.
The other banks of the city, it appears,
had been anticipating Hobbs & Tucker's
emoarrashment, and all of them were,
and are still prepared for any emergency.
Not one of them has less than 85 per cent,
of their deposits in bank. Some people
had an idea that Hobbs & Tucker’s trou
bles would precipitate a general scare and
run on the other banks, but in this they
were mistaken. Confidence ip these in
stitutions reigns supreme, and Albany is
all right.
WAYCKOSS LAWSUITS.
That Against Ware and Burdell Taken
to the Supreme Court.
Wayeross, Ga., June 12.—The case of
the city of Wayeross vs. Ware and Bur
dell, has been taken to the supreme court
by the city. Ware and Burdell were
charged with violating the city ordinance
requiring all persons soliciting members
in companies or associations offering goods
for sale and charging fees therefor, to pay
a license of SSOO. In addition to the
license, the mayor ordered Ware and
Burdell to pay a fine of SSO for violating
the ordinance. Ware and Burdell ap
pealed to the superior court, which de
cided that the amount was excessive.
After this decision Ware and Burdell
brought suit in the justice court for the
reclamation of the SSO fine. This
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs.
The city tlim appealed to the superior
court and the case was again decided in
favor of Ware and Burdell. Asa last re
sort the case has been taken to the su
prerne court.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT CASE.
The city of Wayeross vs. the Brunswick
and Western railroad is another Impor
tant case which has recently been decided
against the city by the supreme court.
The Brunswick and Western railroad
undertook to lay a Y track northeast
ward around the Wilson block, connecting
the Brunswick and Western railroad
with the Savannah, Florida and Western
and the city asked for an injunction re
straining the Brunswick and Western
from proceeding with the work. This
was granted by Judge Atkinson of the
superior >ourt. The Brunswick and
Western then appealed to the supreme
court, which reversed the decision of the
superior court. The city will now have
to pay the costs of the case.

ferson streets there is a 2-story wooden resi
dence. with sufficient vacant ground on Jef
ferson street to build another bouse.
This corner house could, at a small outlay,
be converted into a store, with living rooms
attached and above, and would prove an ex
cellent stand for business.
On Jones street, west of the above, Is a 3-
story brick house, with a large yard in the
rear, and sufficient vacant space on the east
to build another house. The frontage on
Jones street is eighty feet.

cash, or if a small cash payment be made the
balance can be arranged for through a loan
company.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eves. It
must be evident that It requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to lit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
° f al ,‘ Be . nß g. their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and mv thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
\ °rk and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of tho
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
cun fit you properly with glasses that will
strengt hen and improve your eyesight Instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
