Night.
Ulunta, Ga., March 4.—After the thea
t, ■ last night the Capital’ City club wa
the scene of a knock down and drag o<
scrap, which has been the talk of the to*
to-lay. j
The participants in the row -were tK* e
o the best known men in the lotvn,.aiiN n *
d.rectly it was the outgrowth of the r^ nt
rntv between Editor Stein of the Lo* in S
diass and Solicitor James F. lb e
City Court, in which Stein had l IS face
slapped by the solicitor.
Judge John D. Berry ff the fty Court
,s one of the figures D the ftein-O’Neil
rmbroglio, the Looking Glaso man crlti
c -ing both judge and/olieifJr in the arti
cle that caused the if** slapping incident.
Ever since that set/ational episode there
has been no end ofßl feeling among the
friends of Judge Berry and Solicitor
O'Neil against Stun and his paper, this
resentment at one gage promising to crys
tallize into a orgfiized movement to run
the editor out of own.
With this statt of feeling in existence,
the report reach#! the ears of Capt. James
W. English, wW is the "Dick” Croker of
Atlanta, that Judge Berry had said that
he was the financial backer of the Look
ing Glass.
This allegel connection with Stein’s pa
per greatly incensed Capt. English, who
rt carded th< intimation that he would en
courage the existence of such a paper as a
gross insult, and he determined to have
satisfaction out of the author of the state
ment. .
lie and Judge Berry came together in
the card room of the Capital City club
mar midnight last night, and from the
story of eye-witnesses there was a scrap
in which JuSfee Berry was floored at the
first round. To-day he bears ugly marks
of the encounter upon his nose and other
pails of the facial exposure.
Club members succeeded in separating
the combatants, or rather in pulling Capt.
English off the judge, however, before any
serious damage was done.
Later ou,.however, young Jim English,
the eldest son of the captain, met Judge
Berry in the club and renewed hostilities,
the immediate result of this encounter be
ing another knock-down for the judge,
according to the story of club members
told on the streets to-day.
Judge Berry asserts that young Jim
had a pistol in his hand and struck him
with it, making the most conspicuous dis
figurement which adorns his countenance
to-day. All parties made statements to
the reporters to-day when asked, and
their statements agree with the aeeount
here given, except that Judge Berry’
thinks honors were even between himself
and young Jim English, and he is satis
fied. He declares, moreover, that he
never asserted as a fact that Capt. Eng
i’.sh was the financial backer of the Look
ing Glass, but merely repeated what he
had heard.
rapt. English is chairman of the board
of Poljqe Commissioners, and a candidate
for Mayor this fall, with every prospect
of being elected.

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
— >
Ittamos to the Preacher trom Over Study and Brain Tire—lt Cotnaj
to Any Person, too, who Worries and Frets.
From the Huron Tribune , Bad Axe, Mick .
A breaking down of the nervous system”
is a modern expression,— a modern com-
u * lB * u .^ uce d bf prolonged strain
ana the overtaxing of the nervous system,
and is a product of over hurry and hustle.
It affects the preacher end the lawyer—the
direct result of brain tire. It affects people
in any walk of life, too, who worry ana fret.
It means a depleting of the nerve forces.
It is curable by complete rest and change
of scene, also by the use of nerve restoratives
and nerve foods. As the first method is not
witum the reach of all, the latter offers
the most universal and practical method
of treating the complaint. When it is de
termined that medicine is to be used, se
lect that, one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properties. Do not take nerve
tonics. They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than you were before.
Select the medicine that is to the nerves
what meat is to the body—one that as it
builds up the nerves, also increases your
weight. The best thing for the purpose is
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,
the reputation of which is built up by solid
and indisputable proof, and which is known
in every hamlet in the country.
Asa proof of its merits in such cases, read
the following letter of a clergyman:

Dear Sirs: —ln April, i.896,'1 was a hope

with nervous prostration and tw ! a with
gastritis. These attacks would come with
such violence as to throw me into spasms.
The time came when physicians said I must
stop preaching or die. I would be so ex
hausted after the lasi service on Sunday that
I could scarcely get from the pulpit. Many

Captain Accused of Not Taking
Proper Precautions.
Key West, March 4.—A1l the bodies but
one from the schooner Speedwell, which
capsized yesterday off Marquesas Keys,
were recovered and brought here to-day.
The missing body is that of James Niph
ois, one of the young sons of Bradley
Nichols. The bodies recovered are those
of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Nichols, Mrs.
James Nichols, their daughter-in-law, and
her two children, Bradley, Jr., and Min
nie, and three children of Capt. Collier,
Tom, George and Wilbur.
A coroner’s jury was empanelled here
to-day to ascertain the cause of the death
of the victims. Many old seafaring men
were at a loss to understand how Capt.
Collier let a squall overtake him without
the slightest preparations.
Eugbne Bates, the only passenger saved,
said the crew was inexperienced and tjiat
should never have occurred.

Negro Driver Gets Hill of a Livery
man’s IlorNe,
Douglas, Ga., March 4.—Ten days ego
Isham Williams, a liveryman of this city,
hired a team and driver to a traveling
salesman for the Sterling Ball Potash
Company. The driver, a negro named
Henry Peterson, who has been in Will
iams’ employ for quite a while, failed to
return on time. Finally Williams went in
search of him and found that the negro
had traded off one of the horses fifty miles
above Fitzgerald, exchanged the pole for
shafts, and drove the other single to Fitz
gerald, where he offered the whole outfit
for S2O. The liveryman there, knowing the
team, arrested and jailed the negro.

bare feet to as much as touch the cold carpet
or floor, to say nothing of taking a cold foot
bath. If I did I was immediately seized
with cramps. In this condition I com
menced to take Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for
Pale People. I took one box and felt no
better—in fact worse. I said I would take
no more, but my wife urged the matter, feel
ing my life depended upon the result, as
every thing else had failed, and I was “used
up.” I therefore continued to take them.
Since then, and it has been several mouths,
I have bad but one slight attack and have
epjoyed life. Have preached all summer
and held revival meetings for fifteen weeks.
During that time my wife was sick seven
weeks, so that rav rest was much .broken.
Some nights I did not sleep at all. I have
had no muscular exercise for years until re

garden, and my muscles stand the test re
markably well. I Can eat any thing I de

Every Sabbath 1 preach three times, and now

the Lord wills. I am surprised at myself
and sometimes think it cannot be possible
that I have accomplished what I have.

WOULDN’T ADMIT CAPT. SIGSBEE.
He Hail No Uniform, and Wasn’t
Recognized AVlien He Visited the
Vizcaya.
From the New York Sun.
Havana, March 2.—A somewhat dis
agreeable incident happened to-day when
Capt. Sigsbee visited the Spanish cruiser
Vizcaya. This morning Capt. Eulate,
commander of the Vizcaya, visited the
Fern to call on Capt. Sigsbee. He was
courteously received, and two hours later
Capt. Sigsbee visited the Vizcaya to re
turn the call. He was accompanied by
Ensign Bookwalter.
Capt. Sigsbee and his officers, as is well
known, lost their uniforms in the catastro
phe of the Maine. He and Ensign Book
waiter wer in civilian nttire. Though
Capt. Eulate learned this fact when he
viskod the Fern, it appears that he forgot
to not’fy his crow. So when Capt. Sigs
bee and Ensign Bookwalter reached the
Vizcaya, the Spanish sentinel refused to
let them board the vessel.
Much conversation ensued in broken
Spanish and English. At last the Spanish
saiior asked for the captain’s card. It
happened that Oapt. Sigsbee had no cards
with him, and so he took one of Ensign
'Bookwaiter’s card3 and wrote a few fines
to Capt. Eulate. The card was finally
sent in, and then the order was given to
permit the American officers to pass.
Of course, Capt. Sigsbee kept a cool head,
even when the sentinel repeatedly assured
him that Capt. Eulate was “not in,” in ac
cordance with the directions he had re
ceived.
TESTED A SOLAR ENGINE.
A Contrivance Nenr Boston YYhpeli I*
Said lo Work Successfully.
From the New York Sun.
For some time several Boston capitalists
have been working on a solar engine ma
chine, and on last Monday afternoon the
completed engine, which has been set up
at Longwood, near Boston, crude though
it is, wa* tested successfully. The engine
consists of three parts, a reflector, which
concentrates the heat, a cylinder for gen
erating the steam, and a device for keep
ing the sun’s rays constantly In focus on,
the cylinder. In the machine set up at"
Longwood there is a heavy iron frame
work, which supports a scries of glass mir
rors, arranged in a semi-circular sheet,
twenty-two inches In diameter. These mir
rors are nearly as high as they are wide,
and the framework on which they are
placed is so adjusted that they will follow
the sun in its circuit, and may be adjusted
bry hand from week to week to follow the
declination of the sun.
The roller bearings on which the frame
work runs permit it to be moved from side
to side by turning a wheel with one hand.
The boiler is one of the peculiarities of the
queer machine which would puzzle any
me unacquainted with heliodynamics. It
is of copper, about eight inches in diame
ter, and as long as the curved mirror" in
the focus of which It is placed. Owing to
the fact that the mirror is made up of in
numerable facets of glass, the cylinder re
ceives light on every part of its surface,
cutting out an area of shadow at the back,
and having the direct sunlight in front.
The mechanism which keeps the rays of
the sun continually focussed upon the cyl
inder is a clockwork arrangement similar
to that used in astronomical observatories.
In the test of the engine which was made
last Monday, after an adjustment of the
machinery and the turning in of cold wa
ter into the boiler, the formation of steam
began almost Instantly. The gauge reg
istered pressure of about oighty-tive
pounds in half an hour, which drove the
engine steadily, doing the work of übout
two-horse power.

A ROMANCE IN HIGH LIFE.
Pretty Young Woman Imprisoned In
a Mansion Occupied by the Comte
ilc NonillcM.
Paris Letter in New York Herald.
Quite a scene was created early yester
day morning on the Boulevard Haussmann
by a young and pretty woman shouting
wildly from the window of a mansion oc
cupied by Comte de Noallles, son of the
French ambassador at Berlin.
The girl was half dressed, with her hair
hanging down her back.
She cried out to a policeman and to the
crowd who drew near that she had been
locked up in the apartment where she was,
and she implored them to release her.
Police Commissary Garnot had the wo
man taken to his office, together with the
Comte de Noailles.
The Figaro this morning gives the fol
lowing account of the affair:
"Eight months ago Comte Emmanuel de
Noailles met at a ball In Berlin a young
woman of Polish extraction named Alex
andra Sklevewska, of whom he became
deeply enamored, and he brought her to
Paris. For some time their life was . a
honeymoon and continued to be a fete, the
pair going together to ail the lighter places
of amusement. •
“After a time the comte grew Jealous.
Quarrels were frequent, and on Tuesday
night, after a supper at the Cafe Cardi
nal and the pair had returned home, an
other quarrel began, and a veritable light
took place, in which the woman used a
water bottle as a weapon. She neverthe
less had the worst of it, sustaining severe
bruises on her face and having a handful
of hair pulled out.
"At 6 In the morning she broke the win
dow and screamed ‘Murder!’ A crowd
quickly gathered, and the couple were tak
en before the police commissary.

GARTERS AS FAVORS.
Girin Get ‘“Anklets” nnl Men 1 lilt
Them in Plnee.
From the New York Press.
"It is quite impossible to shock New
York society or even surprise it," ex
claimed a young woman from Boston who
came over to attend one of the late priv
ate balls.
“Of course, in Boston we nre a bit stun
ned when a lively girl goes in for rouge,
’ penciling, posing and a lot of other things
a woman can do to shock society and got
herself talked about. But here in New
York there is absolutely nothing to do that
is not already done and no surprise seems
to follow. I am going back to the Hub
with the idea that we dre dead slow.”
This was the expression of a girl who
enjoys all the social jk.alUoii that It is pos
sible to achieve in Boston, and one who by
her eccentric manner has been considered
a trifle rapid in her desire to establish a
reputation of doing things which no one
else dared. She expected her friends here
to find her at least bizarre, if not Impos
sible in her manner. She returned home
disappointed at finding, as she slated, that
her queer ways were approved and even
expected in the set she is visiting.
The social monotony of a season In our
city is deathly dull lo many of Its devotees
and the desite for novelty leads some to
the execution of Ideas thui ten years ago
would have caused an earthquake in upper
circles, but which to-day are considered
"delightfully different from other thinus."
The past season holds the palm for being
the very gayest as regards "the other
things.”
A few years ago, when Carmencita was
dancing in a music hall, the elect and ex
clusive went, properly veiled. Into boxes,
where they were carefully hidden behind
curtains. The first time the Spanish wo
man danced fn a studio for the private en
tertainment of a few it was considered a
naughty thing, but Carmencita danced her
way to many a private house ansl to stag
dinners, and the craze for the sight of het
tilled the coffers of her management.
The grace of this woman gave place to
French singers, and those who did not un
derstand the subtle double entendre songs
pretended to and nudged each other when
,their neighbors laughed and thought It
was dreadful and tine and a hit out of the
ordinary simply because they had heard it
said it must be so.
The inauguration of private vaudeville
performances began a couple of seasons
ago and by those who gave them were In
tended to amuse guests. In Justice to the
promoters it must be said that novelty, re
lief from card playing and dancing was
stimulated, and a posltlv# hunger exists
at present for an amusement which, If not
.absolutely vulgar, must be at least sug
gestive.
Society, like a spoiled child, cries for
something more. Its women And relief
from gorgeous gowns and jewels in gro
tesque or classical costumes, and men are
positively young again when able to doff
their sombre regulation dress for any ab
surd or more becoming costume.
Many Instances of this pleasure are fresh
in the minds of those who talk about those
tilings. The Bishops, the Jones anil the
Hewitts all have given entertainments
that have proved beyond a doubt that
every one like a change. A series of Bo
hemian revels at studios arc now looked
upon as one of the features of a season.
What can It matter If at private parties
men come as beautiful Indies'or that wo
men affect the garb of their husbands or
brothers? One of the most stunning "wo
men" present at a gathering wuh a
young man, whose engagenn nt to the
daughter of one of the oldest houses is
well known, anyl his photographs, taken in
his woman's dress, are given the place of
honor In the boudoir of those he tries to
imitate.
“Just for fun” is a good motto, and
seems to have been generally adopted. An
instance of the insatiable desire on trie
part of society for something a little
risque, was shown by the failure of a Be
lies of entertainments given this season.
The. announcement of evenings of music
nnd refined vaudeville, amid luxurious ap
pointments and under fashionable patron
age, sold the cards with avidity, and so
ciety leaped with joy at the Idea of some
thing absolutely new.
It is a mailer of history that the first
evening brought together the elite; at th
second fewer came, and before the season
was half over members disposed of their
tickets for a third of iheir cost. In de
spair, the management introduced for the
last performance an artist from a muato
hall, whose daring feats had gained her
a reputation ns a wonder In her way. *
Her performance packed the house, so
ciety was agog with curiosity, and, as
the other evenings hud been particularly
tame, it came to applaud the novelty. Dis
appointment there was, and plenty, too,
because a portion of the act was omitted,
and that a specialty for which the artist
Is considered the most remarkable In her
line. But this omission gave ideas which
could be acted upon witi great success
later, and it was in this way;
A cotillion for forty couples was given
a few nights ago at one of the exclusive
homes in upper Fifth avenue. Favors
were particularly handsome, and the last
one a novelty, the originality of which
can J- directly traced to the influence
of "refined vaudeville.”
This hostess, with an Idea for chic, went
one belter than a trapeae performer, and
to surprise her young people, introduced
as a favor silver anklets, and, what Is
more, the men were expected to clasp
them around the ankles of their part
ners.
This was an unusual performance even
for some cotillions, but each young wo
man placed her dainty satin covered foot
upon a cushion while her knight of the
garter knelt in a truly chivalrous fashion
before his lovely ludy and clasped the
anklet In place.
This is the first time that favors of this
kind go down upon the record as novel
ties. Everything e(pe possible has been
thought of and used, but anklets enjoy
their exclusive introduction at this cotill
ion. They are liable to be used again,
and garter clasps Introduced also, if the
craze for "something different” continues
