JAY GOULD WINS.
Gets Control of the Richmond Ter
minal.
New York, November 18.— There
is a widespread belief in Wall street
that Jay Gould has taken advantage
of the decreased price of stock of the
Richmond and West Point Terminal
stock to buy large blocks of the same.
He is undoubtedly in a position to
exercise a powerful influence in the
management of that system.
President Inman’s refusal yesterday
to deny the story of Gould’s important
acquirement of stock in Richmond
Terminal was regarded as very signify
cant.
It is well known that Mr. Gould
has long been ambitious to control a
complete trar.s-continental line. The
Richmond Terminal system, which
includes the East Tenn., Va„ A Ga.,
spreads over a large section of the
south, (rom the Atlantic seaboard to
the Mississippi r.ver. Its seaboard
terminals are at Norfolk, Va., and
Savannah Ga. It centers with
Gould’s Missouri Pacific at Memphis,
Tenn , the Atchison system, reaches
the Pacific coast over the S . Louis
d San Francisco road. Thus it
will be seen that by uniting the Atchi
son and the Richmond Terminal sys
tems with his Missouri Pacific system,
Gould would have a well-equipped
line of railroads extending trom the
Pacific o he Vilantic.
The water tower at the f’inev
Woods hotel is undergoing extensive
repairs. Everything is being put in
readiness for the opening next

Messrs. C. II Young & Co. closed
their doors on Wednesday afternoon,
and yesterday morning Judge flansell
appointed Mr. W. R. McIntyre as
signee. Mr. McIntyre entered upon
his duties at one.-, and will close up
the business in the interests of all
parties concerned. But for the great
tringency in the money market the
firm could have continued business.
They gr« reliable and responsible
gentleman, and there is no reflection
on them in their suspension. The
suspension is sincerely regretted by
the many ft.ends of Cicero Young and
Lee Brown. But they will he on their
leet again. It is known that the
assets art in excess ot the liabilities.
Hon. A. T. McIntyre, Jr., represent
the firm.
Novel Surprises.
The merchants are daily receiving
their large stoeks of toys and fire
works for Christmas, and the indica
tions arc that the eyes of the young
folks will he utado glad by a larger
selection than ever brought to this
place before, Thete arc rnnuy new
and novel toys brought out, and the
reporter, who has had the privilege of
peep in Santa Clause’s selections,
promise them plenty of surprises.
Delaring the Result of tho Senato
rial Election.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19.—Both the
House and Senate appeared listless
through the r. ac icn from yesterday’s
jubilee. The joint session at noon to
hear the consolidation of tin vote for
United State senator received little
more attention than would the passing
of a resolution. The House io irnal
showed the lollowing vote:
Gordon 97
Norwood an
Cidliuun I a
Hines I"
Hammond "
The Senate’s vote was announced
yesterday.
President Mitchell declared Gov.
Gordon elected and the j-int session
was dissolved.
The following wc find In the legis
lative proceedings in yesterday’s
News:
“The first prohibition ripple was
caused to-day, when Mr. Maxwell’s
bill requiring dealers selling whisky
in quarts and gallons to pay a retail
er’s license came up. The members
had the bill read several times, and
shook their heads over it. The hill
was finally sent baek to the temper
ancc committee.’’
Georgia’s local option law is good
enough. It ha3 been adopted by
many othor states. Let the law stand

Water as a Cure for Whiskey.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 19.—The
delegates tci the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union convention spent
to-day at Iudian Spring, whero it is
proposed to establish an inebriate
asylum under the auspieics of the Na
tional Woman’s Christian Temper

guests of the citizens, .Speeches were
made and a banquet was given the

Alabama’s Senatorial Fight.

States senator. Tho foutteeulh and

Indians Giving Trouble.
Bismark, N. D., Nov. 18.—Major
McLaughlin, the agent at Standing
Rock admits that for the first time he
has lost control of tho Indians, and
can do nothing whatever with them.
Sitting Hull, .0 day or two ago, very
coolly told the agent that he and his
I;raves had no use for him and the
whites, and that they would shortly
wipe them out entirely.
And He Wanted to Kill Cleveland.
New York, Nov. 19.—John T.
Davis last night shot Miss Gladys
Price, organist ot the Manner's
church, as she was leaving the church
after service. Davis was arrested
and proved to be a dangerous trank,
if not absolute lunatic. JHe asserted
that Miss Price was his wife; that she
was being pursued by ex-President
Grover Cleveland, ami that he inten
ded to kill ex President Cleveland.
Miss Price had never spoken to Duvis
in her life, and knew nothing of him
except that he sometimes attended
the Mariner's church. To-day Davis
was araigned in court and remanded
to await the result of Miss Price’s in
juries. lie rambled in his talk and
repeated that it was his intention to
have shot cx-Prcsidcnt Cleveland.
Miss Price will probably recover, al
though she was shot through the
body.
Hero is Sound Sense.
Our people will not stand any abuse
of Mr. Cleveland, or any (suspicion c-f
his Democracy, He is their ideal
public man and their leader and de
fender, hut it is rather premature in
some of our contemporaries to insist
that he is the only Democrat who
can he elected in 1892. The man
that can he elected is the man that
should he nominated. The Demo
cratic parly cannot aliord to make
any mistake- Wc must elect our man
whether lie lie Mr. Cleveland or Mr.
11 ill. But in the meantime, the Dem
ocratic party will not stand either
misrepresentation or abuse of Mr.
Cleveland.—From tho Augusta
Chronicle.

Poor Old Girl.

“The victim was an orphan girl, and
died from the constant use of tobacco

A Good New Law.
A new law of New York requires
the candidates fur office to make and
file with the secretary of state, within
a short time alter the election, nit
itemized statement of their expendi
tures on account ot the canvass. All
of the candidates on the democratic
and republican tickets in New York
city filed their statements within the
required time, hut three prohibition
candidates for congress failed to make
their statements. The penalty is im
prisonment for from three to twelve
months, but it is not likely that, as
this is the first election under the law,
the penalty will he enforced.—Ex.
