JOHN TBtrS.ETr. BM. Blnn.
McVicker’s theatre in Chicago, one
of the finest in the country, was burned
the other night.
You don’t hear anything more
about the force bill nowadays. For
this relief, much thanks.
The surplus, under republican rule,
continues to disappear. And tho re
publicans, many of them, will disap
pear soon. The sooner the better.
With the threatened opposition to
Gov. Gordon, his friends are working
up all over the state. Mr. McCune,
who pulls the wires in Washington,
will find that he cannot defeat Govern
or Gordon in Georgia.
The Americans use about four hun
dred thousand tons of tin plate every
year. The duty on this tin last year
amounted to $7,541,000. The Me
Kinley bill proposes to increase the
duty so as to make the import $10,
000,000 a year.—Exchange.
The general council of the federa
tion, lately in session at Terre Haute.
Ind„ have declared against a general
strike. This means that the strikers
on the Vanderbilt roads will have
to fight it out by themselves.
The county commissioners have
closed the contract with S. A. Reming
ton to repair the court house. The
repairs will cost §12,000, and when
completed this will be one of the finest
structures in South Georgia.—Quit-
man Cor. Savannah News.
The enforcement of the law against
carrying concealed weapons in Geor
gia should be most rigidly enforced.
A killing occurs every week or two,
and they may invariably be traced to
the vicious habit of carrying conceal
ed weapons.
The recent spectacle of two Now
Jersey women fighting in the prize
ring was a disgrace to the boasted ci
vilization of the cultured north. Who
ever heard of such an affair in the
south? Nowhere between the Poto
mac and the Rio Grande would such
u brutal ixhibition be possible.—Con-
atitution.
The co or used to denote mourn
ing has often been changed, and even
to-day countries differ widely. _ In
Rome males wore black for mourning,
while the women indicated their grief
by wearing white garments. In Tur
key, at the present dai, the mourning
hue is violet; in China, white; in
Egypt, yellow; in Ethiopyia, brown ;
in London and America, black. The
mourning color in Spain was white
until changed by the laws of 1468.
The Scramble For Pensions
Justice Sheftall wrote out twenty-five
applications for pensions yesterday for
union veterans and widows of veterans,
the majority of the applicants being
colored. He says he has sent on 400
pension applications lor pensions since
the late pension bill was passed. Such
a number of applicants from Savannah
makes the statement of the pension
bureau at Washington that applicants
are coming in at the rate of to,000
day easily explainable. With nearly
500,000 claims awaiting investigation,
it is pretty certain that some of the
applicants will have a weary wait of it.
The majority of the colored applicants
are impressed with the idea that all
they have to do is to send in their
names and they will immediately be
gin to receive $12 a month from the
government.—News.
The democrats should be looking
up a Burchard for the next campaign,
Would Make jTcarefiil Wife-
From the BeUefonte New 1.
There is an old maid in Bellcfonte
who, being possessed ot considerable
property, pays a large amount of
school tax, Bhe now wants the privi-
lego of pasturing her cow on the
schoolhouse grounds, because, she says,
aha has no children to send to school.
Thia woman ought to hare been born
«lawyer.
Then and Now.
The Savannah Daily Times says:
In r844 the Central did not run be
yond Macon, fhe advertisement in
the Georgian of June, that year, says:
"Goods destined for points beyond
Macon will be forwarded by wagons
by the oompany’s agent, free of com
mission.” Atlanta was then Marthas-
ville, a little village "Cotton,” it says,
“when received in good order at the
depots and afterwards torn while in
possession of the company, will be
mended at their expense.”
To send a dozen brooms to Macon
cost 40 cents, while a dozen buckets
were transported from here to that
city for 60 cents. Corn, oats, etc.,
cost thirteen cents per bushel to get
them to Macon. To get a dozen
chairs to the first station on the road
required an outlay of $1.30, to Macon
$3.25. A large rocking chair could
be sent to Macon for 50 cents; to the
first station for 25 cents. Carriages
cost from $3 to 85 for transportation
to the first station; from $5 to $12 to
Macon.
The demijohn and jug trade was
lively then as now. Macon people
could bring two gallons to their city
for 38 cents. If there were over two
gallons it cost 75 cents. Eggs were
charged at the rate of 1 cent a dozen
to every point between Savannah and
Macon, ducks and fowls at 3 cents a
head, and geese and turkeys at 10 cent
a head. Many other articles are also
specified. No single package was
taken for less than 25 cents. What a
revolution in transportation, since
then!
(Gordon and the Alliance.
Atlanta, Aug. 26.—The Southern
Alliance Farmer, the farmers’ official
organ of the Georgia Alliance, which
came out last night, furnishes a sensa*
tion. It prints full reports of the re
cent State Alliance Convention, show
ing that this body did unanimously
pass a resolution demanding of every
Alliance member of the next legislature
that he vote against any candidate or
candidates for the United States Sen-
atorship, who do not stand squarely on
the Alliance platform, and the resolu
tion makes it plain that the sub-treas
ury bill is a very prominent feature of
that Alliance platform.
This is the first positive statement
that such action was taken by the con
vention. It was done the morning
after Gen. Gordon made his speech
coming out squarely against the sub-
tieasuty bill, so it means that as a body
the Alliance will oppose Gordon. This
has been denied by Gen. Gordon’s
friends heretofore.
There i3 much talk about possible
candidates against Gordon, ex-Senator
Norwood and Judge Jim Brown being
the most prominently mentioned.
There will probably be many candi
dates.
A Convention of Governors.
Governor Gordon has issued the
following call: '
State ok Georgia, Executive
Department, AtlantaJGa., Aug.
25.—At a meeting of the state alli
ance, in the city of Atlanta, tho fol
lowing resolutions were parsed:
Resolved, 1. That wo respectfully
request his excellency, thd governor,
to call a couveution of thfe governors
of the cotton states, to mee\in Atlanta
on the 10th day of September, proxi
mo, to formulate a plan bjl which we
can effect direct trade with Liverpool-
Resolved, 2. That each governor is
respectfully requested to appoint six
delegates from his state to,accompany
him, and take part in said conven-
tiou. ' ,
Resolved, 3. That the afc»te alliance
is hereby respectfully asked v> give
this its careful consideration, and ap
point ten delegates—one from each
congressional district—to said conven
tion.
In compliance with the nbovo re
quest, the several governors of «the
“cotton states” arc hereby respectfully
invited and earnestly requested to he
present in the city of Atlanta on the
10th day of September next, and,
with the delegates to be by them ap
pointed, take part in thedclibeiations
of the convention then to assemble. _
In addition to the subject of "di
rect trade,” there aro questions relat
ing to weights, insurance, freights and
handling cotton, which are of momen
tous interest to the cotton producer,
andwhich said convention may profit
ably consider.
John B. Gordon, Governor.
The First Bridges.
The first bridges were ot wood, and
the earliest of which we have any ac
count was built in Rome 500 years B.
C. The next was erec ed by Julius
Ctesar for the passage of his army
across the Rhine. Trajan’s great
bridge over the Danube, four thousand
seven hundred and seventy feet long,
was made of timber, with stone piers.
The Romans also built the first stone
bridges, which crossed the Tiber,
Suspension bndges are of remote ori
gin. A Chinese one, mentioned by
Ktrchen, made of chains, supporting a
roadway eight hundred and thirty feet
in length, was built A. D. 65, and is
still to be seen. The first iron bridge
was erected over the Severn in 1777
Georgia’s Defenders.
There are now about 4 000 volun
teers enrolled in Georgia. They are
divided as follows:
Forty-six white infantry.
Twelve white cayalry.
Two white artillery.
Twenty colored infantry.
One colored cavalry.
One colored jrtillery.f

Can’t Have Two Supports.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 26.—For
weeks there has been a great agitation
over excluding married women from
the posi'ion ol teachers in public
schools. Last night, the board, after
a heated debate, decided by a vote of
12 to 11 to make ineligible women liv
ing with their husbands.
The girls and old maids have the
drop on the matrons in Cincinnati, in
the matter of wielding the tod.
