The cigarette incident mentioned yes
terday morning' should have been
credited to the Savannah News.
Dr. McCuue lias made a clean
back-down in his charges against
Gov. Gordon, and now says he only
meant to explain why the Governor
attacked him in his speeches.—Anicr-
icus Recorder.
The Trezevant claim, dating back
oie hundred years, is to be paid Geor
gia at last. It amounts to $35,000.
The agent of the state, Mr. Green,
gets one third of the amount for col
lecting it. He has worked at it for
many years.
The highwaymen of the train
robber variety have become so bold
that one of them ventured into Chi
cago 0 few days ago and held up a
street car. There was a solitary pas»
senger aboard, and he exhibited great
alacrity in surrendering^uch money
and valuables ns lie happened to have
about his person.—Ex.
A Chicago woman is suing the city
for damages sustained by stepping
into a bole in one of the streets of
that wild western village. It must
have been a mighty big hole. Ten
to one if the corporation attorney will
have the hole nnd foot measured it
will be found that the hole is the
smallest.
A novel suit is reported from an
Ohio town. Sophie Frances asked
the court to make Solomon Oviatt
pay her 82,000 as damages for a stolen
kiss.
This modern Solomon is not as
wise in lus day and generation, as was
his nnmeskc: the latter would have
promptly returned it.
A dispatch from Atlania, speaking
ol the fight on Gordon, says :
‘‘In the meantime Gov. Gordon is
still being indorsed for the Senate.
The sub-alliance No. 715 of Jackson
to day unanimously adopted, by a ris
ing vote, a resolution indorsing Gov.
John B. Gordon for the Senate, and
emphatically condemning the methods
being used to mislead and delude the
people by those opposing him.”
At Pawtucket, R. I., the 100th
nuniversary of the introduction of
cotton spinning in America by
Samuel Slater has been celebrated.
Tho celebration was inaugurated by
an industrial exposition, in which cot
ton spinning machinery in all its suc
cessive stages of progress, from the
primitive machines of the inventor
to tho latest improved appliances,
was shown. Among the principal
exhibits were to be seen a field of
growing cotton, a model of Eli Whit
ney's cotton gin and modern cotton
mills and their various products. All
of the principal cotton manufacturing
centers were represented. It is a very
important event in the industrial his
tory of New England and will attract
general attention throughout the coun
try.

Brutality.
New Orleans, Sept. 30.—It is
now reasonably certain that a fight
will he arranged between Dempsey
and Fitzsimmons, to take place before
the Olympic Club in this city.
Dempsey yesterday wired the club to
forward the articles of agreement on
the basis proposed, to wit: Purse of
S12.000. The date of the fight has
not yet been determined on, but it
will probably take place the last week
in October.
These men should be arrested and
not nllowcd to pummel each other
like brutes.

tative Miller of South Carolina to-day
introduced ajbill appropiating S 1,000,-
000 for the erection of a suitable home
where disabled ex-slavcs may be cared

ing an appropriation of $250,000 for
the erection of a monument in some

pointed for that purpose to commemo
rate the valor and patirotism ol negro
soldiers who fought in the union army

committed suicide by shooting him
self with a pistol last night. He was
to liavo been married on Oct. 8.
“ll is awful,” said Mrs. Binks.
“The census is said to have embraced
sixty thousand old maids in Massachu
setts.”—Congressional Record.
It was, doubt’ess, the first time
some of these old maids were ever em
braced. The sensation must been
very peculiar—perhaps pleasant.
A petition will likely be started to
have some able bodied men start out
soon to take the census again.
Now that a Philadelphia judge has
decided that there is nothing immoral
in Tolstoi’s Kreutzer Sonati, the sale
of the work will probably fall off.
Mr. Wannamaker and Judge Thayer

work, and the former, still excludes it
from the mails.
