THROUGH GEORGIA. KITS OK SKW S GATHERED KIUM1 OVKR TUB STATIC. Hein* H Summary of Interesting Hap¬ penings From Day to Day. The stockholders of the Tennessee, Georgia and Atlantic Kail way Com pa- uj held a meeting at Athens last Sat¬ urday, elected a full board of direc¬ tors, accepted the charter and called a meeting of directors for October 15th in New York. No action whs taken conoi.rning the transfer of the North¬ eastern lease, as the same would in- ■’-olvc litigation, which was due to Harrison’s opposition. Governor Northern's Bureau of Im¬ migration has located in Troup county an - 1 Dalian colony. Eighteen have already arrived, 30 are sure to come and there may bo a great many more. They have purchased the Henry Ware place, two miles from LaGrange, where they will en age in truck farm- ing, will run small farms and raise grapes. They are educated, thrifty people from Pennsylvania. The charter for the Tennessee, Geor- r;a and Atlantic Railway company, tho 1,i W J'uo which is to bo built from Chattanooga to Augusta, has been granted by Secretary of State Candler. The incorporators named iu tho char¬ ter are A. 11. Cornell, Henry E. King, Joseph Gilfillan and Francis M. Fer¬ guson, of New York, and E. A. Ilich- ar.L, Hoke Smith, J. W. English, SV. S. N\ itliam, and G. V. Gress, of Atlanta. lion. Ihoroas E. Watson, who is at his home in Thomson, has for some time been suffering with a case of pharyngitis but is much improved, ilis attending physician, Dr. E. S. Harrison, says it will be some ten days before it would bo advisable for him to make any more speeches. Mr. Wat¬ son has mi engagement to speak iu the west the latter part of this week, but under tho doctor’s advice, will have to canci I it or have it postponed. Hubbard, Price & Co., of New York, ihrongh their Macon attorney, will file suit in Bibb superior court againt the which \istnl Telegraph Company for $l!,00() is the amount the New York firm says they lost by reason of a forged telegram sent in the name of the American National bank of Macon to Hubbard, l’rice A Co., by Henry Morris, who was the Macon manager of the Postal Telegraph Company at the time and also the Macon represen¬ tative of Hubbard, Price .V Co. The fin it will allege fraudulent representa¬ tion by Manager Morris. A suit brought by Mrs. Sallie Lee Shaw, wife of Tom Shaw, who is charged with wrecking the Southern railway train at Stone creek on Feb, 29tb, has been transferred from the superior court of Twiggs county to the United States court at Atlanta^ tbe order of transfer being signed by Judge C. C. Smith at the request of the Southern railway. The most inter¬ esting circumstances connected with the transfer of the suit is that Mrs. Shaw sues to recover $10,000 damages for injuries received iu the wreck at Stone ereek, and that her husband is to be tried lor wrecking the train on which she was a passenger and which caused her injuries. The case is thought to b*j without a parallel. The returns from all over the state indicate tbe ratification of b >th amend¬ ments of tho constitution, ami natural¬ ly a great deal of interest is manifest¬ ed in the races for the three additional judges of tbe supreme court, which is bound to come. A number of promi¬ nent gentlemen are mentioned in eon- nee* ion with the newly created judge- ships. Under the act of the legisla¬ ture, which provided for the submis¬ sion of the question to the people, it is provided that an election sIihII be held on the third Wednesday in December. Tho state committee will be called to¬ gether for tho purpose of deciding upon the time for holding the conven¬ tion to make nominations, but it is not probable that this convention will l>e held until after the November election. This will give ample time and will not ' n any wise conflict with the election iu November. Will Build New Courthouse. The county commissioners of De- Kalb county have decided to build a new courthouse at Decatur. At a re¬ cent meeting of the commissioners it was agreed that tbe county badly need¬ ed a new courthouse, and final action *»u the matter was taken. The com¬ missioners will levy a special tax for the purpose of raising money to build the courthouse. The plnus and details of tho proposed work have not yet been completed, but it is said that the commissioners have in mind the erection of a courthouse which will be creditable to the county aud oue which will till the needs of the county for many years. There is considerable opposition to the proposed action of the commissioners, many of DeKalb’s citizens having strenuously objected to the making of another tax levy at (bis time. Am Ex-Mayor Indicted. A trim bill has beeu found by the grand jury of the Uuited Slates court charging Jack King, president of the Merchants’ National bank of Borne, and at oue time mayor of that city, with embezzlement. The amount of the defalcation ie said to be $22,000. Tbe instigators of tho prosecution were Charles D. Wood of Rome, a stockholder in the bank, who is also a director, and three other citizens of Home. Mr. King was arrested iu It *tne and carried to Atlanta, where he gave bond for $10,000 to warrant his appearance at the October term of the conrt. Mr. King attributes the indictment “to the malicious work of parties who had some petty spite to gratify,” and declares that be will have no trouble in establishing his innocence. Ilia brother, S. S. Kiug, the present mayor of ( Ruine, was not in bo composed a state. Ho considered the arrtBt an outrage and expressed himself accord¬ ingly. No Evidence of the Money. Sensational developments in regard to the Eagle and Pdenix failure con¬ tinue to crop out. The latest story is contained in the answer of the receiv¬ ers, Messrs. English and Jordan, to the intervention of the Lowry Bank¬ ing company, asking payment of their 810,000 note, the money which was re¬ cently turned over to Judge Bigby, president of the mills. This answer of the receivers has been filed in the United States conrt at Atlanta. It de¬ clares that the $10,000 loaned to Judge Bigby for tho mills has never been en¬ tered in the books of the concern, and that there is no evidence on the books to show that the mill ever received the money. •Judge Bigby declares that he used the money on the Eagle aud Phenix property in the regular conduct of its business, and that it went up iu the general crash. He says that the books were not properly kept, and that ho will huve uo trouble iu substantiating that, the money was used iu the regu¬ lar course of business. Observance of Arbor Day. Preparations are now being made for tho proper observance of Arbor day by tho school children of thu state. The law requiring the observance of Arbor day in Georgia is only a recent one, aud the day will be a legal holi¬ day this year for the first time. State School Commissioner Glenn is greatly interested iu the matter and will urge the county commissioners of all the counties in Georgia lo have the day observed in their respective couuties. In order to give the school commis¬ sioners some idea how the day should be properly celebrated and observed the state school commissioner has is¬ sued a circular which will be mailed to the school commissioners of every county in the state. The circular gives all Ihe information on the subject that will be required. Iu the circular the commissioner gives interesting figures showing that the forest product of the United States is at present fur more valuable than that of anything else, even more valu¬ able than the product of gold aud sil¬ ver. He proposes that tbe school children throughout the state shall plant trees on the paths and highways leading from their homes to the school- houses. The work will be done on Arbor day of each aud every year and as time goes by the highways of the country will be well shaded. Arbor day is the time set aside by luw for trees to be planted. It is a matter of duty with the children, but if they carry out the idea given them by the state school commissioner the duty will become a pleasure. Professor Glenn believes that the planting of trees on the roads by the children will cause their fathers to improve the roads, and in that way the good roads problem will be solved. The circular sent to the county school commissioners of the state is withal an interesting document. MACON TELEGRAPH SOLD. Syndicate, Headed by Major Hansen, the Purchasers. The Macon Telegraph has passed into the hands of a syndicate controlled by Major J. F. Hanson and perhaps other republicans, aud it was rumored that the paper was to come out as a straight republican organ. This has been a great surprise, though it is known that the republi¬ cans of Georgia have been anxious to secure an organ, and it is believed that they would have in this venture the moral support if not the financial assistance of Chairman Hanna and other lending republicans. It is uuderstood that several promi¬ nent employes have been given notice ami that places are to be filled by re¬ publican newspaper men. Whether these newspaper men are to come from the north or not is not known. Major Hanson will, of course, be the moving power in control of the pa¬ per. Although for a time he declared he was absolutely out of politics the major, as it is believed, always had a hankering to get back into journalism, at least so far as dictating the policy of an organ is concerned. He has cast all his fortunes with the republican party and is devoting his time to the promulgation of McKinley doctrines. The Telegraph is still under the old board of directors, and there has been uo reorganization of the company siuce Major Hanson’s purchase. The board of directors consist entirely of Macon citizens. The parties associ¬ ated with Mojor Hauton in the owner¬ ship of the paper are not politicians. PROHIBITION ELECTORS. A Full Ticket to Be Put Out in Georgia. The national prohibition party has put out a presic'utial electoral ticket in Georgia, and the people will be given au opportunity to cast their votes for electors favoring tbe election of a prohibitionist president and vice pres¬ ident. The announcement will be in the nature of a surprise to many. A com¬ plete tieket of two electors at-large and one for each congressional district, as required by law, have been selected and their names will be on the official ballots for the presidential election on November 3d. The candidate for president of the party is Joshua Levering, of Balti¬ more, one of the wealthiest merchants and importers of the country. He is well known in the south and through¬ out the country, in commercial circles. His running mate for the vice presi¬ dency is Hale JohnsoD, of Illinois. The candidates were nominated by the national convention of the prohibition party held last summer. The prohibition party ha£ held no state convention this year and the electoral ticket was selected by the state executive committee. The national platform of the prohi¬ bition party follows: “We, the members of the prohibi¬ tion party, iu national convention as¬ sembled, renewing onr declaration of allegiance to Almighty God as the rightful ruler of the universe, lay down the following as our declaration of political purpose. . “The prohibition party, in national convention assembled, declares its firm conviction that the manufacture, exportation, importation and sale of alcoholic beverages baH produced such social, commercial, industrial and po¬ litical wrongs, and is now so threaten¬ ing to the perpetuity of all onr social and political institutions, that the suppression of the same by a national party organization therefor, is the greatest object to be accomplished by the voters of our country, and is of such importance that it, of right, ought to control the political actions of all our patriotic citizens until such suppression is accomplished. “The urgency of this course de¬ mands the union without further de¬ lay of all citizeus who desire the pro¬ hibition ol the liquor traffic; therefore be it “Resolved, That we favor the legal prohibition by state aud national leg¬ islation of the manufacture, importa¬ tion and sale of alcoholic beverages; that we declare our purpose to organ¬ ize aud unite all the friends of prohi¬ bition into one party, and in order to accomplish this end we deem it of right to leave every prohibitionist the freedom of his own convictions upon all other political questions, and trust our representatives to take such action upon other political questions as the changes occasioned by prohibition and the welfare of the whole people shall demand.” BRYAN IN j'HK WEST. Democratic Candidate Faces Chilling Blasts to Deliver Speeches. William J. Bryan arrived in Sioux City, la., Friday morning, one hour behind schedule time. The fact that the train was late was caused by the numerous demands of the people at the stations along the line to see the presi¬ dential candidate. At Onawa in Monowa county, where p large crowd had gathered, the train stopped about 10 minutes, and Mr. Bryan went out on the rear platform and addressed the people. It was bit¬ terly cold and a strong southwest wind blew directly into the speaker’s face. The people were wild with enthusi¬ asm. As this train arrived in Sioux City the candidate was greeted by a large crowd at the depot and was escorted to the large train shed of the depot, where he spoke for 10 minutes to a large crowd. It was au enthusias¬ tic reception and seemed to jflease Mr. Bryan. After the speech he was driven directly to the Milwaukee depot, where a special train was waiting to take the party to Sioux Falls. RICK CROP GONE. Swept Away By Tidal Wave in the Savannah Section. The rice planters in South Georgia are iu destitute circumstances. They have just met with their second mis¬ fortune this year, after having lost one-fourth of their crop by the storm of two weeks ago. The severe north- cast winds, together with Sunday’s tidal wave, caused an overflowing of practically all the banks,and the fields were, some of them, completely inun¬ dated, ail the rice iu them being more or less damaged. The planters on the Savannah, the Ogeecbee, the Satilla and Altamaba rivers, have been looking forward to the season with great hopes. The great shortage of the crop in Louisi¬ ana has caused considerable advances in the price of rice, and with a good crop, the planters this year could have done better thau they have done iu many seasons. But the entire section appears to be under the ban. GUAYAQUIL IN FLAMES. City in Ecuador Almost Wiped From the Face of the Earth. The New Y'ork Herald’s special cable from Guayaquil, Ecuador, says: “More than half of this city has been destroyed by fire. The loss of life has been great, but tbe number cannot be given. The fire has burned for twenty-four hours, aud is not yet under control. Many persons who were in the arsenal when the flames burst forth are missing, aud it is be¬ lieved that they were burned. Thousands of citizens are homeless and are camping in the fields near the city. Provisions ate scarce and there is dauger of famine. The losses are roughly estimated at $5,000,000. The correspondent says that it is believed ti«e fire is of inceudiary origin. Mexico Visited by Storms. The west coast of Mexico has been visited by a tremendous storm which has caused great damage and conster¬ nation. The town of AlUis, the port of the state ofSinaloa,isinundafcedand the capital city, Cnliacan, has suffered severely. Many small towns hsve been flooded. BILL ARP S LETTER. IIK Fi\I>> l-OOi) FOB THOUGH T IN THE TKUIHFUL CAMERA. Photo Gallery by the Countryside Marks Civilization's Progress. The photograph gallery in a country town is one the most pleasing marks of Christian civilization and the ad¬ vancement of modern science. I pass by one every day and it is gratifying t . see its patrons awaiting their tun or coming out with smiling faces and all arrayed in their best apparel. It is a family discussion before they come what dress to wear, what ornaments, aud how the hair shall be arranged, or whether to sit or stand, whether a side view or a front or whether the baby shall be taken alone or with its mother. All classes are on an eqaality before the camera, for the sunlight of nature has no favorites. So far as faces and features are concerned, the camera tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This morning as I passed I saw a countryman sit¬ ting on the steps with a child in his arms. His wife and little girl were inside awaiting their turn. I used to know him before ho was married, aud so I stopped and gave him my hand. His folks were poor, honest and industrious, and I have great respect for all such. The women do the housework and have the care of the children. The men cultivate their little farms, work the roads, sit on the juries, nurse their sick neighbors,bury the dead, go fishi» g on Saturdays and take the family to mee ing onSundays. They are generally P pulists, not be¬ cause of any polit cal principles in¬ volved, but because of affiliation and association. Most of their kind are Populists and therefore clannish. They stick together because they are either poor or less than rich. Their fathers fought in the late war, and these will light in tlio next if it comes in their days. It may be a rich man’s war, but it will be a poor man’s fight. “Are you goiDg to have the baby’s picture taken.” “No; not this one,” said be ; “I wanted my wife’s ai d our little girl’s. They are iu there. I I thought I would like to have them about the house, for life is uncertain, you know. Jim Moore’s wife died last year and Jim says he would give the world for her picture, and Jack Brown lost his little girl in June. She was a mighty purfy little thing, but Jack hain’t got no picture and so I conclud¬ ed to have some taken for fear of acci¬ dent.,’ “That is all right,” said I, “but sup¬ pose you die; wouldn’t your wife like to have one of you?” “I reckon she would. She mention¬ ed that, but pictures don’t become a rough man like me, and besides, it would cost more money than I have got to spare. The winter is cornin’ on and we all have to have Bhobs and stockings and the like, and my cotton crop was powerful short, but I will have mine taken sometime. I reckon all your folks have got ’em, haven’t they?” Love for wife aud children is the best virtue of human kind, aud poor folks have as much of it as rich ones. Y T es, more. Many of them haven’t anything else to divide their affec¬ tions. It is a pleasing thing to see them at the picture gallery and to wit¬ ness their pride when the work is done and the faces of their loved ones are before them on enameled cards, fresh aud clean from the artist’s hand. What a wonderful art it is. I remem¬ ber well when the first daguerreotype was taken in our town. It was only forty years ago, and when our first lit¬ tle girl was four years old we had her picture taken. She was a little beauty then, and I thought the picture was the sweetest gem on earth. AVe have it uow in its old-fashioned case. That little girl is long since a mother and has pictures of her own little girls, and they are much finer in their finish, but I prize the first one most. It car¬ ries me back in memory to th a days of my sweetest, fondest, proudest, pa¬ rental love. I idolize that child and I love her dearly yet, but she left ue for a youDg man she was no kin to in the world, and who has never done anything for her but to give her a ring and books of poetry and a little French, candy now and then. We had to give her up to him, and as Tom Hood said: “She took our daylight with her And the joys that we love best. With morning light upon her brow And pearls upon her breast.” Daguerre was a benefactor to the emotional side of our nature. He was a French artist—a painter of pano¬ ramas of cities like London and Paris and Naples. He used the rays of the sun through colored glass to heighten the effect of hig paintings, and kept on experimenting with sunlight until in 1839 he caught it on the king and made it stick to meta]lie plates and re¬ flect the images thrown upon them. His success was partly accidental, part¬ ly design, and he himself was aston¬ ished at his discovery. In 1840 Arago made the announcement to the acade¬ my of science aud Daguerre was made an officer in the Legion of Honor and voted a pension of 6,000 francs a year. He died in 1851 and a monument was erected to him in Paris. But like all inventions, Daguerre’s was crude and imperfect. Photogra¬ phy has grown ont of it and seems now to be the perfection of art. It is used in makiDg the exact likenesses of all the great work* of art and nature and bringing them in reach of the millions who have never seen ami never will see the originals. All the monuments, pyramids,churches, cathedral*,bridges, mountain* and waterfalls—all the grand old paintings of Rnphael and RembtaiuR, all the sculpture of the old masters and even the aspects of the moon and eelipses of the sun and ihe reproduction of the ancient manu¬ scripts of the Old and New Testa¬ ments. The lightning itself cannot more instantly speed its way than pho¬ tography now catches a bird on the wing or a race horse on the turf or a meteor in the heavens. Just so it was with the locomotive, the spinning jenny, the sewing machine, the tele¬ graph and telephone. All weie im¬ proved from time to time by the cun¬ ning of the human brain and human hand until they now seem to be per¬ fect, but they are not. On the mantle near me I see a cabi¬ net photograph of a well preserved old man who has a sweet little black-eytd grand-child on his arm, while her head rest® trustingly upon his shoulder and tom he * his venerable cheek. She looks shyly and timidly at you, but clings to the old man as the tender vine clings to the old oak that the storm has riven. The old man’s face is ca’m and serene. I like those pictures for the children’s sake, and wish that I was so coupled with every little grand¬ child and that my wife had some to match them. I was ruminating that when I am dead and gone and that lit¬ tle girl is a mother, maybe she will show the picture to her child and say: “I never knew my father, for he died when I was very young, but that old man was my grandfather aud he was good to me and I loved him very dearly.” Maybe when I am in the spirit land I will some times be near her and hear her talk that way—may be so ; who knows? Flowers and music are the sweetest gift of God to mankind and pictures and painting the sweetest that come from the hand of mau.

Awful Deed of an Insane and Father. A horrible tragedy was discovered Friday morning at the homo of Albert Bray, a farmer, living near Nobles- ville, Ind. A neighbor on going to the house and failing to get a response to a t«2S forced his way in and found the bodus of Bray and his wife and their little ebildre , aged three and six years, upon the floor of the bed room iu which they slept. A bloody razor was lying at his side arid it is supposed that lie committed the awful butchery with it. Bray was thirty-six years of age, was a member of church and had always borne a good reputation. Mrs. Bray and the children had been struck by some blunt instrument aud evidently stunned before tbe razor was used. Mrs. Bray was found lying on a bed and the child, a boy, ou a lounge. Both had died without a strug¬ gle. Tbe younger child, a little girl, was taken from bed into another room ami then killed. Bray was found lying on the porch outside. He bail been sick for some time with typhoid fever and was probably insane at the time of tbe tragedy. A MANIAC’S DEED. He Fires Five Bullets into an Uft. suspecting Victim. At Atlanta, Friday afternoon, Ben¬ jamin H. Osborn, age twenty-one. a raving lunatic, who had escaped from hiB home aud was being hunted by of¬ ficers at the time, walked up behind Theodore Schrader, who was return¬ ing home from his day’s work, and without a word of warning shot him to death liko a dog. Never knowing who his assailant was, the murdered man reeled forward twenty feet before falling neadlong to the pavement. The streets were filled with pedes¬ trians at the time, aud half a dozen persons saw the assastin’s awful deed. They saw the murderer standing ap¬ parently unconcerned, watching the effect of his deadly work. Without resistance the murderer was arrested. SWEDES FOR TENNESSEE. A Colony of Fifteen Hundred to Lo¬ cate at Bristol. Caldwell Dulaney, brokers, of Bristol. Tenn., have just closed a deal for the establishment of a Swedish coIodj of 1,500 inhabitants in the suburbs of Bristol. An agent of the Swedish government has purchased 5,000 acres of land, to be laid out in tracts of twenty acres each. Each tract is to be occupied by a family of Swedes. These people will have their own schools, churches and mercantile enterprises. EXPLOSION WRECKS BREWERY Ammonia Pipe Bursts and Eight Men are Injured. A tremendous explosion of ammonia occured Tuesday night at the Schmidt brewery, owned by the Indianapolis Brewing Company, which completely wrecked the cold storage plant, badly injuring eight men and causing much damage. The men were injured by being burned mostly about the face, neck, breast and hands. NATIONAL CAPITAL W ASHINGTON NKWS ANi> NOTES OF IX ITCliKSI’.

Patterson, assistant physician in charge of the criminal and homicidal wards of the government hospital for the in¬ sane. The deficit does not come out of government fund?, but out of sums paid by private patients. Dr. God¬ ding stated that the amount of the shortage had already been made good. The United States supreme court convened promptly at noon Monday for the Oetobfr term, and remained in session only three minutes. The time sufficed for the admission of four at¬ torneys to the bar, and fur the an¬ nouncement of the chief justice that the hearing of all motions docketed for the day would be postponed for Tuesday, in order to permit tho court to call upon the president in a body, according to a time-honored custom.
