A Few short Paragraphs from the ISanncr-
R’uichman Editor.
Atlanta, Ga., Saturday Mor .-
ing.—It is now 5:15 o’clock, having
arose thus early to indite and mail a
letter. 1 reached Atlanta at noon
yesterday and am quartered at the
Markham. The crowds, however,
are at the Kimball, and the rotunda
of the Markham seems almost de
serted. But it is well kept by Mr.
Markham, the owner of the prop
erty, and we predict that so soon as
the novelty wears off the H. I. K.,
that the Markham will again reap
its full share ot patronage.
I came in on that grand old line,
the Georgia road, and had the good
luck of rinding that prince of con
ductors, Harry Hill, on board. He
is now an applicant for the position
of Minister to Belgium, and is very
strongly hacked.
Crops along the road, after the
border of Oglethorpe county is
passed, are not so promising as
near Athens. They seem dwarfed
and backward. The Athens & Co
lumbus read creates considerable
discussion, and 1 was asked about
it bv nearly every one 1 met. At
lanta is greatly excited on the sub
ject, and it is the general impression
that for one time Arhen- has the
drop on her. Even little Rutledge
is arousing, and will put in a bid for
the road. Madison is quietly con-
lident, and Social Circle and Mon-
roc greatly exercised.
Atlanta is full of legislators, and
yesterday evening I had quite a
pleasant time mingling with the
members, many of whom are old
friends and act uaintauces. They
are a splendid body of men, and-
have gone to work in earnest. It is
t“e general prediction, however,
.blit the session will extend pretty
-veil through the summer. 1 was
-urprised to find some doubt about
the passage of that general local
option bili, and a strong Prohibi
tionist in the house tells us that he
docs not think it will rece’ve the
1. quisite number of votes. We are
confident, however, that it will
squeeze through, and when it does,
1011 are going to see Atlanta vote
Great Excitement in Atlanta.
The news reached Athens late
yesterday evening of. a daring at
tempt in tnat city to steal a car with
thirty thousand dollars in it. The
pay train on the Air Line cams
down and while standing on the
track, the thieves got an engine and
attached it to the car and ran it to
Kirkwood. A man that was in the
carfound that something'was wrong
and went to the window and look
ed out, and immediately the thieves
opened fire on him. Our informant
could not tell us what became of the
affair, or whether they caught the
thieves.

COL. CANDLER AND TIIE ATHENS PUST-

Editor Gantt, of Athens, says:
“A short time ago Congressman
Candler received a letter from Post
master-General Vilas, touching the
Athens post office, which he sup
posed was still in Candler’s district,
lie stated that it was his policy and
that of the president to appoint de
mocratic negroes to succeed repub
lican negroes, where negroes were
already in office, and he desired to
hear Mr. Candler’s opinion as to
how it would do to appoints negro
to succeed Davis, in the Athens of
fice. Mr. Candler ^replied in the
most positive terms.” While Mr.
Gantt had his information of Mr.
Vilas at seeond hand he considered
it reliable.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of
meeting Congressman Clements,
of the 7th. He is a handsome, affa
ble, dignified gentleman, and made
a most favorable impression on us.
It is the general impression in
Atlanta that Dr. Felton will be in
the Gubernatorial race, if he can
find some hobbyhorse strong
enough to carry him. In the event
ofdeteat before the convention, he
will unhesitatingly again enter the
field as an independent, at the first
break 111 our ranks. lie is the
worst office-hungry man in Geor
gia, but his day Uas passed.
Last evening a prominent gentle
man, who has the ear of thr Ad
ministration. says it is the policy of
noth President Cleveland and Fost-
mastti General Vilas to re-aphoint
Colored democrats to cilices now
tilled by colored republicans, and
that in the event of the removal ol
Davis from the Athens post ollice a
negro will be put in his place. Our
intorriant says the Administration
lavs .-teat reliance upon drawing
the S-.nhern blacks into the demo
cratic r arty, and will labor to that
end. Thcie is a deep and general
disappointment with tiie course ol
Mr. Cleveland, and the general im
pression is, that he will split the
solid South in the next contest.

VV.VSHIXGTOD, D. C-, July 13.—
Col- T. L. Gantt; Mv Dear Sir:—
The above clipping is from the
Constitution of this morning. The
letter referred to was from the gen
eral superintendent of railway mail
service, John Jameson, and not the
Postmaster General. Jameson said,
however, that he wrote by direc
tion of the Postmaster-General.
The letter was written by Jame
son concerning Morton, postal
clerk between Athens and Union
Point, and not D-vis, postmaster at
Athens. Otherwise your inform
ant is substantially correct. It im-
ptessed me that the probationary
term of Morton, a colored man, as
postal clerk between Athens and
Union Point will expire on the 6th
of April and I am directed by the
Postmaster General to write you
and inform you of the fact. The
Postmaster General thinks Mr.
Morton ought to be retained unless
you know of some reason other
than his color why he should not.
Il you know of any reason other
than his color I am directed to re
quest that you nominate some other
bright active young man (a colored
man preterred) for tht appoint
ment.” I replied that “the road
named is w holly in the district of
my colleague. Mr. Reese, to whom
I have forw arded your letteT. I
earnestly ask that no appointment
be made until he can be heard
from. 1 know Morton, and I know
him to be an unfit person to have
ill the custody of the mails. Xor
do I know of any colored man in
this district who is fit for such a
trust”
Hope to meet you during my va
cation. Your friend.
A. D. Candler.
... Dayton, O., Tul
pie in the neighborhood of Milton,
a small place about iS miles north
of here, have for the past two Weeks
been terribly excited over a s fthost
frequently seen daring that tifle in
the neighborhood. It had been-seen
by different people, and all gave the
same description efthe phantom.
Last night it entered ' the village,
where a young man named Fur-
nass, armed with a gun, pursued
the spectre.. He followed: it into a
dense wood, where he gained on it
and finally saw that it wai a wo
man. He went up to her and to
the question, “Who are you?” she
answered, “Nobody; I died this
morning.” She said her husband
wasdetd and in hell.
The woman had nothing on but a
night gown, which was.in tatters,
while her long, hack hair hung
down her back in matted bunches.
She was taken prisoner, am.' upon
investigation was found to be a rav
ing maniac who nearly a month Ago
escaped confinement at Covington.
She has since been living on roots
and whatever she could find or mas
ticate. Her name is Babalon, and
she has been mad for nearly twenty
years.

London, July 12.—The Telegraph
prints a Berlin letter giving the par
ticulars of a court scandal. - A
prince, thirty-five years of age, a
r.ear relative of Emperor William,
and son of one of the heroes of the

with companions at the Emperor’s
chateau Sans Souci, near Berlin,

the Prince quarreled wjth Lieuten
ant Prittwitz, ot the First regiment
of Silesian Cuirassiers, and boxed
his ears. The police arrived on the
scene and persuaded the party to
go home. Lieutenant Prittwitz,
feeling dishonored before his com
rades, and etiquette forbidding a
duel with a prince of the House of
Hohenzollern, shot himself, leaving
a letter of explanation. Emperor
William, on being informed of the
affair, wrote a letter of condolence

Walton, Oconee and Clarke. No
wire grass or salamanders 'in these-
counties, but they are populous with
good, thrifty tarmers, an adjunct
without which no road can be suc
cessful. We can safely calculate;
upon getting cotton and trade front
six ol these. This would take us up
as lar as Zebulon, about twenty
miles this side of Griffin. Along:
the line of this road there would be
upwards of thirty stations with good)
substantial stores. This ‘would be
very valuable to our factories ami
wholesale merchants. Instead ot
Columbus having excursions to At
lanta, Athens and immediate towns
would have excursions to Columbus.
This.would be the attractive point
and not our competitor. In everv
county large sums can be raised. In
fact, if hard pressed and the point
made that it is a good investment
(which it is) it can be built without
borrowing any money.
It would have no rival in a large
field of local passenger and freight
traffic, and a good through travel,
which would he many times multi
plied in the event it should get pos
session of the Mobile and Girard,
and push an extension on to Florida.
Stock in this would be worth some
thing in the beginning, because it
would do such a large business and
should it be built you will see the
day that it will be another Atlanta
and West Point road. It will be the
main arterv connecting the north
east with Florida, southwest Geor
gia and east Alabama, and will haul
a iarge proportion ot the freight
going to these sections.
For once during the existence of
Columbus let us stop c.nd think
about this thing We can’t build
but one road, and let us put our
money where it will do. the most
good. I think in time AtianU will
build a road to Columbus anyhow,
but she will nevef build one to Co
lumbus from Athens. Anyway, if
Atlanta wants a road here let her
build it.
Harder Will Ont.
Delaware, Ohio, July is,
Stewart Crawtord, a colored man ot
73 years, was last night the victim
of a brutal murder at the hands of
parties unknown. Crawford had
long lived unhappily with his wife,
and for seven years they had occu
pied separate apartments fcin tho
same house. He was seen for the
last time on his way home at is
o'clock last night. This morning
the neighbors were summoned by
his wife, who coolly informed them
that her husband had been murder
ed. The old man was found lying
on the floor of his attic room with
a bullet in his brain and his head j
head into a jelley. The widow told a ! prize of
strange story, Notwithstanding ‘ ‘ 1 '“
the fact thrt she slept in an adjoin
ing room, the woman says she
heard no sound in the night and
her first intimation of the murder
was while building «'he fire in the
kitchen, when she saw blood drop
ping from the room above. The
ball which the coroner extracted
from the old man’s brain was of 3S
calibre, and the shot was heard by
many neighbors and by an officer
two blocks distant Crawford was
a man with no enemies and quarrel
ed with no one save his wife. The
only clew to the crime thus taj dis
covered is a small spot ol blood on
the woman’s night dress.
The feeling against the perpetra
tor of the deed is very strong among
the colured people, and lynching is
threatened in the event of the discov
ery of the criminal.

d airdbatr* Ftr'llife recently
died in Brooklyn, New York, at the
age of seventy-one years. He went
into the sayrdust ring when a small
boy and achieved fame and fortune
by his skill and daring. So far did
he surpass the performers of his day
that he won the soubriquet of "The
North Star.”
North’s first appearance in Eng
land was at Liverpool, and his per
formances in the ring were so ex
cellent that on reaching London lie
immediately secured an engagement
at Astley’s circus. North at once
became famous, and in a lew weeks,
Duncan, the champion English rid
er, was obliged to luwcr his colors
to the American. James Price, the
champion tumb|pr of the day, found
in North a wortliy competitor, and
in a series of contest* at Astley’s,
North fmroutdid his rival. One day
Price turned twenty somersaults in
succession, and North thiity-three
The audience gave him an immense
ovation, and be became the lion ot
London. The feat was at that time
unparrallelled of its kind. Next
year North suipassed this feat be
fore an audience of lords and ladies
at Leamington Spa by turning fifty-
five somersaults in succession. The
event was commemorated by the
presentation ot a snuff box, which
Mr. North carried to the day of his
death. He was at that time with
Ryan’s circus.
In 1840 he returned to America,
and at his first appearance at the
old Bowery Theat'e the programmes
were printed on silk, as mementoes
and the house arose and greeted
him with rounds of cheers. The
press spoke of him as “the North
star.” After a most succes-ful torn
in this country apd a' visit to Cuba,
Mr. -North Returned to England in
1S42, and soon after married Miss
Sophie West, Ihe daughter of his
manager, who survives him. He
drove, on his wedding tour with his
bride from Exeter to London, be
hind an American trotter that hr
had taken over with him. After
performing in London, he joined
Franconi’s circus in Paris, where,
on June 21. 1845, he rode before
Louis Philippe and the royal family
He returned from his last European
tour in 1S48 and,forming a combi
nation, travelled through the south.
In 1S55 he built the first brick tliea

After a season with Dan Rice, he

could not do a detter thing than to
invite good, honest labor to our

that own thousands of acres of land
that they went to sell to men who
will come here and farm. Let this

(Signing the New Bunds.
“Gracious goodness,” said State
Treasurer Bob Hardeman at At
lanta, Friday, with a big sigh. Be
fore him on a desk lay one of the
beautiful new bonds of the state,
and the Treasurer was engaged in
the monotonous pastime of signing
the coupons. “I’ve signed my name
2,000 times to-day,” he said, “and
I’ve got to keep it up every day for
three months before I will get
through. There are over 3,400 of
the bonds, and I have to sign every
coupon. There are 60 coupons, so
you see I will have to sign my name
over 200,000 times.”
“What sort of pen do you use?”
“An ordinary steel pen ”
When Mr. Hardeman was in
New York a few davs ago it be
came necessary for him to sign 8100,•
000 wc rth of bonds in short order.
He went to work and soon saw he
,nad a big job ahead. The first
afternoon he signed 12 bonds of the
too. The next day he went to work
with new energy and stuck to it 22
hours on a stretch, and in that time
signed SS bonds, writing bis name
considerably over 5,000 times. The
signing that is now being done is
only on the coupons. The bonds
are left unsigned until it becomes
necessary to deliver them.—Savan

the city was thrown
into a wild statu of excitement by
the announcement that the pay train
of the Richmond and Danville road
had been stolen from a side-track
near the Markham house, and car
ried to Kirkwood, where Paymaster
Grocer was killed by being riddled
with bullets, the iron safe broken
open and robbed of
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The rumors flew ‘.hick and fast,
and the story was on the lips of
hundreds. People wondered how
such a thing could happen right in
the heart of the city, and many were
loth to believe that there was any
foundation whatever for the story.
The Journal began an investiga
tion at an early hour, and while it is
not as bad as at first reports had it,
it is bad enough.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The pay train, consisting of the
paymaster's car and supply car, was
left on a side track near the. Mark-
hair. house last night, in order to be
ready to go out this morning imme
diately behind the regular passen
ger, which leaves at 7:40, city time.
The paymaster’s car is a model of
convenience and comfort, being ar
ranged as office, bed-room, ser
vants’ room, kitchen and dining
room. It is furnished in elegant
style, and Mr. Grocer, with his por
ter, a trusty negro man named
Patrick Ward lived in it almost the
entire time. Mr. Grocer had every
arrangement made to leave this
morning, anti about eleven o’clock
he retired an j soon fell to sleep.
Patrick carefully locked the doors,
and going to his room he, too, was
soon asleep. ' Being right in the
heaitofthe city, neither had any
i'ears of any attempt being made to
rob the safe, which contained about
thirty thousand dollars in clean cash
■o pay ofl‘ the employes of the road
to-day.
While Mr. Grocer and his porter
were sleeping peacefully, there were
hold, had men planning to rob the
car, even if ir was necessary to

of mind bordering upon terror
through the fear that any night
their homes may be burned over

all hours, and stores have been

ment is one Jack Sackett, alias Bob
Miller, who is one of the most des

state, and who is prowling about
through the county at the head of a
band of ex-convicts. The foar is
that S ickett will succeed in carry

of which he holds in hate on ac
count of the longterm o! imprison

on Monday week, when the barn
attached to the Indiana bouse, the
largest in the town, was burned.

Richmond, Va., July 13—There
has been considerable excitement
for several days past in Henry coun
ty, in the vicinity of Martinsville,
over a mystery involved in the
death of Mrs. G. L. Stone, Jr., who
was found dead last Monday and
soon thereafter was buried. Sus
picion of foul play being aroused
tbe body was exhumed. An au
topsy showed that the deceased
was in a perfectly healthy condi
tion. A large number ot witnesses
were examined, and on Saturday
the Coroner’s juiy rendered a ver-
vict that Mrs. Stone came to her
death from cruel and brutal treat
ment at the hands of her husband
and his father, ,G. L. Stone. Sr.
Both father and son have been
committed to jail to await theac-'
tion of the grand jury. The evi
dence shows that the deceased was
tortured to death by most shameful
and unnatural treatment. The ex

An Indianapolis paper says:
“And Sunset Cox has been chosen
Minister Plenipotentiary to Tur
key,” said a former resident of Col
umbus, O. "In tS6o I was assistant
foreman on the Onio Statesman, at
Columbus, when he was one of the
editors. He was determined to go
to congress, and started out to make
himself popular with the Germans.
He could see a German vote at a
greater distance than any man who
ever lived, and would rush
across the street in mud waist deep
to shake hands with a German. He
drank beer to make himself solid
with them, though he never liked
it and it didn’t agree with him.
But he succeeded in capturing the
German vote. Cox was the most
indefatigable worker for his
risk their lives to get it. The rob
ber knew that engine No. 26 of the
Geoigia road, used for a switch and
gravel train engine, had been left
try the engineer, Mark Ewing, on a
side-track near the cemetery. The
switch at this place is never kept
locked and tne men found no trou
ble in getting the engine oh off the
main track. Whether the man who
who manned the engine was an en
gineer or not is not known, but lie
succeeded in running cautiously up
to the pay train, coupling on and
pulling out from the city down the
Georgia road as far as Kirkwood.
Mr. Grocer nor Patrick awoke un
til the train reached this place.
From some mismanagement of the
engine the train came to a sudden
halt. Mr. Grocer jumped out o!
bed, slipped on his pants and slip-
peis, and walked out. Hecould not
imagine what was the matter. He
saw a man coming toward him from
-he engine.
“What’s the matter?” asked Mr.
Grocer.
“Going to Belt Junction,” was
the reply.
“For what!”
‘■Why, ain’t you going to pay
off?”
“Yes; but it is not more than 2
o’clock. Here, there is something
wrong, and I want an explanation.”
‘•WELL, D—N YOU,
we want you, Grocer, and the-mon-
ey in that safe.”
And as the robber ceased talking
he leveled a pistol and shot five
times at-Mr. Grocer who rapidly
retreated to hi* car. The man did
r.ot follow.
When Mr. Grocer got in his car
he found Patrick up. He’ handed
him a pistol and told him to pre
pare to fight. He then went to the
rear of his car and put on the brakes
and told his porter to hold the fort
and he would run out and get help.
He slid off the rear end of the car
and rau down the track a short dis
tance, then ent across the woods.
Patrick says that as soon as Mr.
Grocer left to get help, the supply
car and engine were cut loose from
the pay car, and going up the track
some distance, they carue back with
full steam against the pay car,
breaking and smashing things in a
tearful manner. Chief Connally
was telephoned for, and soon he
andCapts. Crimand Moon were at

members Of the house were discuss
ing this practice this morning In
very severe terms. While it was
not known how or on what terms
these passes got out of the hands of
tliose who held them by the courte
sy of the railroad companies, instan
ces were cited in the observation of
sevnal present where these passes
were offered conductors on trains by
parties who were not members of
the legislature and had no right or
title to them. In some cases the
passes were merely taken up by con
ductors after discovering that the
passenger was not a member of the
legislature. The gentlemen who
were discussing the matter agreed
that the practice is not only a gross
breach of courtesy, but a grave re
flection on the body oi which they
are members. They expressed the
intention, if the facts could be.ob-
tained. to ask for a committee of in

whether it is a matter in which the

perhaps enact a statute forbidding
