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 month. 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 as it is. 1 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 ance Union. The ladies wern the guests of the citizens, .Speeches were made and a banquet was given the visitors: The site and nucleus of the fund is offered by Indian Spring for the establishment there of such an in stitution. The waters there arc- fa mous, and if. is claimed that they fur nish a sure cure for the whisky habit Efforts have been made to get the state of Georgia to put an inebriate asylum there, but they have failed through legislative ideas of econo my Alabama’s Senatorial Fight. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 19.— The democratic legislative caucus met at 7:30 o’clock to-night and resumed balloting for a candidate for United States senator. Tho foutteeulh and last ballot resulted; Pugh 11, Watts 11. Seny 38, Kolb 33. The caucus then adjourned to 7:30 o’clock to morrow evening. 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. indications are forlHocb Colder Weather HOW ARE YOU FIXED FOB IT 9 We work for trade earnestly.

One of the saddest deaths of the season occurred in North Carolina re cently, says the Sheffield Enterprise. “The victim was an orphan girl, and died from the constant use of tobacco at the tender age of 103 years.” New York lias been on the verge of a financial panic for several days. The danger will probably be tided over. 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.

It is one to pay election clerks and managers $2 per day. Managers and clerks of elections will thank the colored member for his bill. And it should pass.
