TOCCOA, GEORGIA.
Bays the New Orleans Times-Democrat:
“There is in truth a seed of anarchy in
this ugly epidemic of White Capism, and
it must not only be stamped out vigor¬
ously and effectually, but its resur¬
rection at any future time must be made
impossible.”
The l’anama Canal works are at their
last gasp. The laborers are flocking to
Chili in crowds, their passage being
paid by the Government of Chili. O er
$363,600,000, belonging to 870,000 sub¬
scribers, principally the industrious poor
of France, have been squandered. When,
ask the New York Voice, will investors
learn that a great name is not sufficient
lecurity for a financial undertaking.
Bishop Theodore B. Lyman, of North
Carolina, has discovered new' and
hitherto unsuspected virtue in the pea¬
nut. For nearly two years he had suf¬
fered from insomnia. About a fort¬
night ago he ate freely of fresh roasted
peanuts before retiring, aud enjoyed the
best sleep he had had for months. He
tried the experiment repeatedly since, and
has found it efficacious every time.
The Emperor of Austria has been grant¬
ing numerous pardons in all parts of his
Empire. To a great number of convicts
the last years of their sentences hav
been remitted. A high bank official,
who, after unlucky speculation on the
stock exchange, had lost the bank’s
money, and was sentenced to seven
years’ imprisonment, has been released,
after having served only two year3 of his
sentence.
1 The United States has been discussing
the question of what should be done to
increase the trade between this country
and Mexico. There is evidently press¬
ing need, states the New York News,
that something should be done. This
country imports from Mexico goods to
the value oi $30,000,000 a year, while it
exports only about $8,000,000, or, in
other words, we pay Mexico $22,000,000
a year more than she pays us.
The Chicago Herald thinks some phil¬
osopher should explain why the plug
hat prospers. ‘ ‘How is it” is asked ‘ ‘that
a covering which cannot be put on can¬
vas, which will not defy the weather,
which harmonizes with neither the
charms of nature nor the aspirations of
the soul—how is that this hat, from de¬
cade to decade, sustains its empire?”
The man in the silk hat takes cities, sub¬
dues the haaightiest dame, vanquishes
the most terrible waiter or porter, Let
the seer himself tell us why he will an¬
swer first the question put to him from
under the stove-pipe hat, and leave the
derby to wait in more or less patience.”
The death of Count Peter Schouva-
loff deprives the Russian Government ol
one of its most valuable pillars, is the
estimate of tho New York Mail and Ex¬
press. At a great crisis in European
history he did Russia and Europe and
the world generally most excellent ser¬
vice. But for him Russia might have in¬
sisted on the carrying out of the San
Stefano treaty, and a war of indefinite
length and on a most gigantic scale
would have been the result. A true
patroit, yet peace-loving, a skillful
diplomat, and an accomplished society
man, the Count will be missed in many
a circle and for many different reasons.
Born in 1828, he had reached his sixty-
first yean_
. “Many extravagant stories are in cir
culation,” said George W. Allen to th«
St. Louis Globe-Democrat representative,
“as to the cost of private cars, such as
are used by railroad magnates, opera
singers, imported actors and million¬
aires, and I have often heard it stated
that an average Pullman palace car is
worth $60,000. Stories are printed
about cars costing all the way from
$100,000 to $200,000. The fact of the
matter is tnat a palace car costs about
$12,000 complete. The make-up of all
cars, regular or special, is about the
lame. Additional cost is brought about
by the internal decoration, and that
must necessarily be limited. I doubt if
there was ever a car constructed that
cost more that $35,000. To exceed that
Bgure we would require a decoration ex¬
clusively iu jewels and the precious
metals.”
The Adjutant-General of the Army
has published, for the information of the
army, a recent decision by a United
States Court in Michigan touching the
status of minors who enlist and after¬
ward desert from the army, In the
case at issue the soldier enlisted when a
minor, although pretending that he was
of age, and afterward deserted. He was
arrested and court-martialed, While
the proceedings of the court were await-
ing review the father of the minor sued
out a writ of habeas corpus. The
Ini ted States Court declined to issue
the writ, holding that a minor soldier of
the army in confinement under charge of
desertion could not be discharged from
military service until he had been re¬
leased from such confinement, It was
also held that a minor contract of enlist¬
ment was not void, but voidable. If he
be over sixteeu years of age he can be
discharged only upon the application of
h.s parents or guardian.

The President and the Secretary of the
Interior have called upon the United

The Interstate Commerce Commission
notified the principal railroads of the
country that they are likely to be inter¬
ested in and affected by the questions
presented in the complaint of George
Rice against the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad alleging discrimination in favor
of shippers of petroleum and cotton-seed
oil in tank cars, and that they will be
afforded an opportunity to bo heard
upon the questions involved in the case.
Postmaster General Waonamaker on
Saturday issued the following order:
Ordered. That hereafter the Post Of¬
fice Department be closed on Sunday to
the clerks and all employes thereof, ex¬
cept the required watchmen, engineers
and firemen. Clerks and employes shall
without exception be denied admittance
on that day to the main building and to
the several rented buildings, and the
watchman on duty shall strictly enforce
the provisions of this order.
Secretary Blaine appeared at the state
department Friday morning, and soon
alter his arrival, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the new British minister, came to the
department, Herbert, accompanied by Mr. Ed¬
ward cs with several other at¬
taches. The new minister was intro¬
duced to Secretary Blaine, who immedi¬
ately White proceeded with the party to the
House,where Sir Julian was form¬
ally presented to the president. The
usual felicitous speeches were exchanged.
The sentence of the general court-mar¬
tial iu the case of Major G. J. Lydecker,
corps of engineers, who was tried on
charges arising out of the aqueduct tun¬
nel frauds, was made public Friday after¬
noon and is as follows: To forfeit to the
United States $100 per month of his pay
for nine months and to be reprimanded
in orders. The court is thus lenient in
view of the evidence before it that in
spaces so confined as those above tho
arch in the tunnel, it was almost impos¬
sible to secure thoroughly good work un-
der the contract system imposed by law.
Secretary Tracy has decided that he
has authority under the law to proceed
with the construction of the great coast
defence vessels. There will be no re¬
advertisement, and the only question yet
to be decided is which of the three bids
shall be accepted. Cramp’s bid was the
lowest, but the Union Iron Works of
California, whose bid was but $14,000
above him, hope to secure the work in
consideration of the fact that they abso¬
lutely guarantee the success of the ship
for the amount of their bid, which was
$1,628,003. This decision of the Secre¬
tary will involve the abandonment of
the idea of building a submarine torpedo
boat.

THE TREZEVANT CLAIM.
THE U. S. SUPREME COURT DECIDES IS
FAVOR OF GEORGIA.
In Washington, D. C., on Monday,
the court of claims gave a judgement for
$35,555 in favor of the state of Georgia
in its suit against the United States to
recover money advanced to the govern¬
ment The during the revolutionary war.
money had been withheld from the
state by the accounting officers of the
treasury as a set off to money due the
government under the direct tax law.
The court held that as the state of
Georgia hid never assumed the direct
tax, there was no obligation on her part
to pay the same, and that, therefore, the
offset had been wrongfully made.
This amount, $35,555, is principal and
interest due the state of Georgia for
money advanced by her to pay for the
removal of the Indians from their reser¬
vation in Georgia. By an act of congress,
seven years ago, this claim was recog¬
nized as just, and ordered paid. The
comptroller of the treasury refused to
pay it ovr to the state’s agent, c’aiming
that it should b; applied to the payment
of Georgia’s unpaid balance due on her
direct tax assessment. And this is the
issue just determined by the supreme
court of the United States.

and running over him. The horses then
dashed around a corner, overturned the
wagon and threw the three otheis out
against a barbed wire fence. One side
of Mr. Burdette’s head w..s crushed in
agaiusc the post, and he was instantly
killed. Mrs. Churchill was badly man¬
gled, and her left side and bo h legs
paralyzed. The left shoulder of Mrs.
Burdette was wrenched cut of place i.nd
ane eye almost torn out. M r . Churchill
was not seriously injured.

visited Hutchinson, by Kansas, on Tuesday, was
a most terrific wind storm,
which wiis most disastrous in its effects,
the details are absolutely appalling.
The casualties so far as known are:
William Crawford,* kiliedjoutright, nedb
broken. William Bolt, fatally injured,
Oliver Beard, paralyzed, cannot recover,
Jason Beard, internally injured, will die.
A. F. Guinup, internally injured. Mrs.

let, leg broken. Mrs. John Bartlett,
shoulder blade broken and other injur¬
ies, will die. Wm. McNey, internally
injured, cannot recover. Joseph Ferris,
injured about the head, will die.
The path of the storm lay through
S'afford county, extending southwest to
the northeast, slightly east of the center
of the eouuly. 'lhe first building struck
w’as the faim house of E. Slade, about
six miles south of the town of Stafford.
The house was swept away and hardly a
splinter of it left. The family were con-
siderab’y bruised, but none have died.
The next building to succumb was the
home of Al. Guinup, a short distance
noithof Slade’s. Both the house and
barn ore gone. Guinup w r as badly injured,
and it is expected be will die. Mrs. A.
Potter, a widow lady, had her house and
stable blown away,but the family escaped
the uninjured. The next house in the path ol
cyclone was Mrs. Lindsay’s, w r ho lived
with her tw r o step-children, Maud and
William Blue. The house was torn to
pieces and Mrs. Potter so badly injured
she cannot recover. George Deves’s
house was demolished and his little girl
fatally dence injured. S. S. Crawford’s resi¬
was blown away and his son Will¬
iam was killed outright. Crawford him¬
self was so injured that he will hardly
recover. J. B. 0. Cook’s large cattle
sheds were destroyed, as were J. W.
Burns.^ house is Both thing loss of the heavily. past, and J. his Love’s wife
a
was blown fifty feet north of the house
into a wagon to which she Clung. It
carried her 100 yards further. The
spokes in the wheels were either blown
out or knocked out by the flying timber.
Mrs. Lowe was clinging to the tongue of
the wagon. She is so injured that there
is no hope of her recovery.
The Eureka school house, a large and
handsome structure, next fell. Peter
Scarlet had scarcely finished his hand¬
some new house, but it went with the
rest. Scarlet w T as injured about the head
and had his leg broken. John Wilhite’s
nursery and hot-house was completely
ruined. Frank McCoy’s house was de¬
stroyed. John Bartlett’s house was
blown completely hundred wrecked, and his wife was
hay one rake yards and struck by
a which broke her shoulder
blade. She lost one eye, her nose broken
ahd sustained internal injuries froth
which recovery seems impossible. Bart¬
lett’s son was thrown thirty feet, landing
with on a harvesting the boy, machine. This, together
was blown a quarter of a
mile, The little fellow clung to the ma¬
chine. Though considerably bruised, his
injuries are not considered alarming.
He says that for most of the way the
harvester was carried by the wind clear
off the ground. Three other children of
this family were blown one hundred feet
into a pile of cornstalks, and with the
exception of a few bruises and
scratches, made a very miraculous escape.
William McVey, a farm hand, was
struck Joseph by Ferris flying timbers and will die.
and family have lost their
home. Mr. Ferris is injured about the
head, and is bleeding at the ears. He
can hardly recover. From th : s point
the cyclone veered to the northwest and
passed in the vicinity of Huntsville,
destroying several small houses. More
than a hundred people are left homeless
and without food or clothing. Many of
the families had already retired for the
night, and escaped only in their night
clothes. Added to the bodily injuries
are the sufferings of exposure iu tl e
night air. All night long the terrors of
the occasion were increased by a heavy
rain and hailstorm, which passed over
the section after tno cyclone.
THE SHAFTING FALLS.
A LARGE NUMBER OF OPERATORS THROWS
OUT OF WORlt FOR A TIME.
While the cotton factory at Trion, Ga.,
was sudden running as usual on Monday, all of
a a considerable portion of shaft¬
ing which was supported by “hangers”
overhead, fell to the floor. A number
of the operative! were at work among
the machinery, but no one was hurt,
although bility it seems almost like an impossi¬
for them to escape being killed.
One spinning frame was literally knocked
to pieces, while two others
chine were damaged. A spooling ma¬
was cut in two by the fall¬
ing shafting,whichi"was bent and twisted
considerably. Perhaps ten days will be
required to repair the damage. Mean¬
time the operatives will be idle, as none
of the machinery can be run until the
damaged shafting aad machinery are
repaired. The owners of the factory are
building another and considerably larger
mill near the old one. More than one
hundred hands are at work on the new
building. The old mill consumes ab nit
4,500 bales of cotton etch year. The
new ouc will consume a good deal more.
A TOWN BURNED.
At midnight Tuesday, a fire broke out
in a meat shop miles in Beaver Dam. of Findlay, a small
village and twenty before the west flames could
Ohio, be
subdued, almost the enure business
portion of the town was reduced to ashes.
The late hour found lhe inhabitants a:l
in bed, and the scene following the dis¬
covery of the fire was indescribable.
Women and children, who had only rime
to escape in their night clothes, and for
whom no shelter could be found, pre¬
sented a pitiable sight. No lives have
been reported lost.

REGULATORS
TURK A TEN1NG TO SHOOT VOT¬

THIRTY MEN ARMED WITH WINCHESTEB RIFLES
SURROUND THE O JURT-HOD3 I AND DECLARE

A large number of men with arms
tvere in the immediate neighbor-
flood of the court house square aud at
the several entrances to the square armed
men were posted and the negros wire
not permitted Sheriff to enter. Broussard offered to
At 6:30 north
»scort a number of men at the
entrance to the squ ire to vote. He at¬
tempted to enter with these men, when
there was a rush of armed men to the
entrance, and shouts were heard of
“Shoot them 1” Kill him!” “Don’t al¬
low them to go in!” and the voters
turned back. The slier ff entered the
court house, and the comm ssioners aud
clerk of court and sher ff, who were
holding the election, then closed the
polls and retired, A sworn state¬
ment by these officers was for¬
warded by mail to the governor.
Later dispatches from LaFayctte fully
confirm these repot Is. Governor NichoL
received a dispatch from Sheriff Brous-
said concerning the outrage and stating
that he had succeeded in arresting and
ind landing in jail, ten of the “regula¬
tors.” The sheriff thinks the pirisb the
mthorities will be able to suppress
disorder and punish those engaged in the
outrage. As a precutionary measure, ordered
however, the military have been
to move at a moment’s notice. The
postponed election for mayor and town
councilmen will be held at a future day.
It is stated that the larger portion of
“regulators” were non-residents of the
town and that but few of them lived in
parish where the outrage occurred.
