VICTORY!
CONGRESSMAN CARLTON.
Elbert was the remaining hope, and it
was eren whispered that another Ogle
thorpe Bcrape would be perpetrated
and this intelligent little counts was
looked upon by the Reese men as being
their onty hope. The Carlton men felt
confident, for they knew who wero at
work for them, and they never faltered,
and when the following dispatch was re
ceived they sent up a shout:
Ei.hkkton, Ga., July 17.—Carlton re
ceived 443, a ad Reese 140. 1’eiU clos ed
We 8end*greetings. Ike Swift.
Wilkes county had determined to keep
open until C o'clock, and allow every
body to put in their ballot, and it was
hoped, but very faintly, that there still
might l»e a chance, but when the news
reached Athens that the good old county
of Wilkes had given the gallant Capt.
Carlton a majority of one hundred and
fourteenth* enthusiasm was unbounded
A SETTLE it.
The following dispatch put a quietus
to a 1 hope:
Washington, Ga., July 17.—Carlton’s
majority 114. County wild with enthu
siasm. Carlton arrived here at 8 o’clock,
and spoke to a crowd of over 3UO, who
had waited over three hours to hear him.
Town will be painted red to-night.
C. J. O’Fakueli.:
Capt. Carlton has made a gallant tight
and his numerous friends have done all
in their power to assist him, and wo
hope that the convention will meet next
Tuesday, and nominate him by accla
mation, and all the bitterness of the cam
paign will be forgotten.

A Talk With an Old Athena Boy.
Fox Galloway is an Athens hoy ami
o tint our little city feels justly proud
of. His father, dim Galloway, is a horn
engineer, and the son followed in the
footsteps of the father in many respects,
dim Galloway is one of the most careful
j men that ever pulled the throttle on an
I engine, and when tin* passengers know
that dim is on theengine they feel safe.
' Fox lias a vein of humor and fun in his
| c mposition that he cannot c introl. If
I there is any reckless running to be done
I or fast time to lie made Fox is a’ways
I put on tin- engine, and he never feels
, happier than when his engine is going a
j mile a minute. Fox is otr for a few days
In attend the wedding of his relative,
l Mr. W. F. Dorsey, and in conversation
1 with Fox, lie says he has quieted down
j since lie has been on the dug Tavern
I road, that he has never had an accident
I nr a run-olf since he lias been on that
■ road. "Yon can stake your last dollar,”
I said Fox, "that 1 used to whoop her up

I through there during a big exhibition.

the train with my engine if he would
stand between me and a discharge. He

Makes. Large purchase of Lauq and Jer
sey!.
“Cloverdale farm has been sold, with
everything on it,” said a gentleman on
the street yesterday morning.
‘•What?” said the reporter, who was
standing near with eyes and ears awake
and on the lookout for a bit of news, “not
Hunnicutt & Vaneev’s Jersey farm?”
“The same,” replied the informer, as
he placidly puffed at his cigar. “The
whole affair has been sold and no mis
take. The sale was consummated last
Monday, but for private reasons, buyer
and sellers kept the trade a secret until
an hour ago.”
“Why, who in the world has bought
the farm?” inquired the reporter, as vis
ions of millionaires and bloated- bond
holders flitted through his brain. “It
must have cost $75,000.”
“I don’t know what it cost. If you
will go down and interview our clever
friend, C. D. McKie, on Thomas street,
perhaps he can enlighten you as to the
price paid for it. as it is he who is now
the owner of Cloverdale. with all its fine
Jerseys, growing crops, excellent. pas
tures and all improvements.”
The reporter immediately bent his
steps down Broad street and up Thomas,
where there is a modest little store
which bears on its sign board the name
of “C. 1). McKie.”
“Hello," we saluted, “I understand
that yau have gone into the Jersey busi
ness?”
“Yes,” replied our friend, quietly, “I
have purchased Cloverdale.”
“Going to build you a fine residence
and move right out, I suppose, live a
glorious farmer's life, revel in fresh pas
tures, mild-eyed Jerseys, thoroughbred
stock and tine crops.”
“Not quite so romantic as all that,” re
plied Mr. McKie, “I don’t know that 1
shall move at all—certainly not now, but
I shall keep up Cloverdale’s reputation
for the finest Jerseys in the South, and
continue to give the people of Athens the
best milk in the state.”
“Well, tell us about your purchase.
“There is nothing to tell,” replied Mr.
McKie, “except that 1 have bought the
farm, just as it stands. It comprises
four hundred and thirty acres of the best
land in thfs section, and about fifty very
tine Jerseys; sixty or seventy acres are
in wheat and about thirty in the pret
tiest clover you ever saw, with a good
deal in oats, corn, cotton and pasture
land."
“The purchase must have amounted
to fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars?”
we remarked.
“Yes, possibly more, possibly less.
The public will not care particularly
about the price.”
“Well, so long. I’ll come outandlook
at your place arid your cattle the first
chance 1 get,” and off we went, thinking
how much truth there is in the trite old
saying, “Where there’s a witl there's
way,” for Mr. McKie has verified it.
Ten years ago lie came to Athens from
Banks county, with few friends and less
money. He sought work and obtained
a clerkship in the hardwaie store
Messrs. Childs & Nickerson, and by
close attention to business and a quiet,
gentlemanly demeanor, he rapidly rose,
and in a few years was able to purchase
the store he now runs on Thomas and
Clayton streets, where again regular
business habits and progressiveness
have enabled him to amass a snug little
fortune.
A Woman Dedans the ftyle to be Immod-
•St
Mrs. H- W. Beecker In Brooklyn Magazine.
The decolleette style ot dress is
not only wrong and in poor taste,
but it is immodest and indecent
Mothers who ailow it commit a
great sin; those who not only allow
it for their children, but practice it
themselves, do even worse. They
are
“Sowing sorrow.
For their moln* by end by.”
Leaving aside ior the moment the
question of loss of modesty and
delicacy which must follow, the
injury to the health alone is a mat
ter calling for grave consideration.
We have watched by the bed
sides of those who for a lew mo
ments enjoyment and the pleasure
of feeling thfey were dressed “in
style” were stricken down in the
full freshness and beauty of young
girlhood. We have seen the agony
of the mother as she stood power-
lessly watching this battle of life,
and in the contest the thought would
be ever present: “If God spares the
child, will the mother heed the
warning, or will the tyrant fashion
conquer again.”
But the danger of sacrificing
health and life itaelt, painful as it
it to our mind, is not so much to be
thought of as the effect which such
unreasonable and immodest fashions
must and do have on the character
of our young girls. It it not poss
ible that they can practice such ex
posure of their persons without
losing, in a large degree, the sweet
ness, delicacy, and modesty, which
is the greatest charm in woman’s
character. And if the young ]
maidens now emerging from girl
hood, and prepared to take their
place in tociety as young ladies, are
allowrd to be ruled in such matters
so entirely by the freaks and capri
ces of this fickle goddess, when they
have had their day and became
wives and mothers, what is the pros
pect for their children?
It is great folly to be thus govern -
ed, and deplorable when one sees
who much precious time is wasted,
how lavish y money is thrown away
for that wii c i profiteth not. But
the injury done to woman’s charac
ter wheif to be dressed in style
means nothing less than to be dress
ed i m modestly, is the worst feature
and what we cannot but fear wilt
paralyze, if not destroy, that refined
and sensative modesty which every
woman should prize and always
regard as her most precious inheri
tance. If a young girl, passing
from her own chamber to that of
her mother or sister in her pretty
“robe de nuit,” is accidentally met
in the passage by her brother or his
friend, she shrieks and runs back,
in the greatest alarm and agitation.
Why should she? She is perfectly
clothed and sheltered, but not in
the ordinary dress. Yet this same
easily-frightened and sensative
young lady, in the dance, or in gen
eral conversation with any number
of young gentlemen, w ill stand be
fore them unblushingly with arms
bare the whole length, and with
bare neck and shoulders, and talking
and laughing without one fear or
thought that she is exposing herself
much more immodestly than she
could possibly do in her pigut
robes.

An Otffect of Horror att^Lajt Grand Prt*
Paris, July 14-—At the list
Grand Prix one of the • most con
spicuous figures in the principal in-
closure was that of a woman slight
ly past the middle age.’-most elab o
rately dressed in faded finery, walk
ing with difficulty by the aid of a
stick. She hsd a horrible, corpse
like face, from which people in the
inclosute instinctively turned a«ide.
This was the final appearance in
the world which kr.ew her *0 well
—indeed, the final appearance any
where, of Cora Pearl, the too fa -
mous courtesan of the Second Em
pire, or, to call her by her real name,
Emma Crauch, the daughter of a
Cockney stable keeper.
Her death here early on Friday
morning recalls to me vividly the
frightful spectacle she presented at
the Grand Prix. completely broken
down in health, almost decrepit,
and abandoned by her former com
panions. Her withered lace bore
the marks of a peculiar anguish.
This woman came to Paris as a
mere child immediately alter the
Crimean war. She stood for many
years at the apex of Parisian dissi
pation, rising at one bound to a
height of luxury which rivalled that
of the Imperial Court. Her car
riage, for instance, was no less gor
geous than that of the Emperor and
Empress, when the two met in the
Bois. She was essentially a vulgar
woman, with comparatively few
physical charms an I certainly _ no
intellectual ones. All her fascina
tion came from her rxcellent horse-
womanship. The money of her
admirers wrs used by her for the
establishment ol most elaborate sta
bles, filled with wonderful horse-,
on one of which she has always
been seen in pnblic upon any dis
tinguished occasion.
She died in a mean tenement
house in the Rue Bissano, attend
ed in her last illness by the parish
doctor, leaving behind her barely
effects enough to pay her last quar
ter's rent. She was a person of
most forbidding avarice, W'thnut a
spark of consideration for the sco'e
of men whom she uttt rly ruined.
The last of these was young Duval,
son of the mao who e»t ihli .hed the
well-known Res'diiraots D.ival.
He came into po»»e-»ran ot his fa
ther’s enormous fortune, and spent
upon her in two years sev n een
millions of Irancs. At the end of
that time she refused to see him.
One day he forced his way into
her room and endeavored to blow
out his brains before her, but he
only fell, badly wounded, upon the
bale blue carpet of htr boudoir.
She is said to have called her sei -
vants to come in to prevent him
soiling any more her beautiful car
pet. The last money she spent was
blackmail she procured from a doz
en or more distinguished people,
who paid large sums to keep their
names out ot her “Mem > rs,” a vol
ume of stupid ruhbisn winch Jules
Levy was foolish enough to publish
several months ago. Belore her

For some time Greene county has
been troubled with a band of counter
feiters, who made and passed quarters
and halves which could only he detected
by feeling them. The ring was as clear
as silver, ami to the eye they were per
fectly genuine. Some of this money has
reached our city, and the treasurer of one
of our most popular churches informs us
that one of those slick pieces had found
its way into the hat. Collector Smith
purchased seine cigars in Union Point
and Woodvilie and received silver in
change for the money that he paid for the
cigars. He bought cigars in Union
Point and \Voodville, and after looking
over his change found several pieces of
this slick fet ling money in his posses

at Union Point or Woodvilie, and tele
graphed Collector Crenshaw the facts.
A detective was sent to Union Point who
made some purchases, but in every in
stance received nothing but good money<
He then went to Woodvilie, and after
buying cigars at different places, found
himself loaded with the queer, which had
been given- him in change. Warrants
were sworn out against J II Bowles and

told him that he was to be sent to the
penitentiary, hut it was for a purpose,
namely, the amelioration of the condition
the convicts. On Sunday he and
Jones, the Boine forger, brought the
matter to a head, and Monday morning
the insurrection was sprung among the
coke oven hands, who occupy stockade
o. 2, at the terminus of the Dade ceal
company's road, and two miles from the
other camps.
The insurrectionists renewed the de
mands which they had formulated into a
platform. They demanded the removal
of Kilpatrick, their squad boss. They
demanded better fare, and that the strap*
os a method of punishment, be abolish
ed. Colonel John It. Towers, principal
keeper of the penitentiary, who had been
here for three days, would not listen to
any of the so-called demands, nor hear
any grievances so long as the convicts
ere in a state of insurrection. Col.
Towers went into the quarters, and Jones
and Echols said they would have their
platform agreed to, or they would have
to be brought out dead.
•Then,” said the Colonel, “you will be
brought out dead.’’
Col. Towers then sent the following
telegram:
llenry D. McDaniel, Governor, At
lanta, Ga.: Half the men in the stockade
are willing to come out, but the leaders
are defiant, and say they will not allow
them to do so. I don’t want these inno
cent men to suffer longer, snd will take
them out this morning. If the others use
violence 1 will use violence to protec
the innocent I think it best to end the
matter to-day. Advise me quickly. No

to his dispatch from Gov. McDaniel

taken charge, with nothing but a stick,
and with the convicts covered with the
guns of the guards, demanded their sur

fore he would go out. The alternative
was given them and Enos Echols was the
first to succumb, and the blacksmith im
mediately had him again in irons.
Others followed Echols,
who semmed glad of the chance

Be In slots That Flah Has BtUl Plenty o
Money Left.
Ferdinand Ward has been inter
viewed at Sing Sing pris «n with
regard to James D. Fish’s version
of the relations between the two
men, which was recently published
in trie New York World. Ward
pronounced Fish’* statements fal-e
detail and in implica ion. He
produced a letter from F sh in which
the letter asked for $100,000 or
50,000 for a lew days, to straigh
ten things at the bank with the ex
aminers. Ward said he could tasi-
have escaped with millions, but
did not keep a dollar, while he in
sisted that Fish still had plenty of
money. He said:
I made out a statement of Fish's
account very carefully w.iile I was
Ludlow street jail, just the same
I did in Warner’s case. When
the decision was made against War
ner my figures didn't vaiy $100,000
from what he was declared to have
received. Remember that these
transactions aggregated $60,000,000
and there were several checks I
could uot find that had been lost
somehow. Fish’s account could be
identified just the same, for the
checks can be traced.,and there are
the entries in the books. Now,
what has become of the $1,000,000
figured out he received? As I said,
he couldn’t have spent it. He slept
up over the bank in a room, the
furniture for which I afterwaids
had to pay lor, and he took his
meals at my house. But he was al
ways making presents to his chil
dren. My idea is that they have
ot the money or the most 01 it now.
"e did not turn over $300,000 to his
assignee, and he has plenty of it still
or wheie he could' get it.
“There are people right here in

observer would say that Gen. Gor

he was given one office and resign

Doubtless he has such a strong hold
on the people of Georgia that he
can put down and pick up at will.
YVith his towering intellect and
war record, he would be hard to
defeat, for I well know that the
people of Georgia delight to honor
those who periled their lives and
fortunes in the late struggle.

From the Boston Traveler.
Washington appeals to be the
home ot the pool seller. For a great
many years it was thought that the
law on the statue book prohibited
the selling ot pools. One day a
sharp young lawyer discovered that
the law was defective. A test case
was made up and carried into the
courts. The young lawyer carried
the day, and since that time the
pool rooms have sprung up like
mushrooms One firm here has
cleared, on an average, over $1,000
a day since the lucng season open-
•d. There arc qui'e a number of
Congtessmen wno invest regularly
upon the races. One of them bets
heavily, and has won a great many
thousand dollars within a short time.
H s friends here wonder why he is
so lucky, but there is something
more than luck in his success. He
has in his employ a man in whose
judgment he has the most implicit
faith. This man is upon the track
every day, and is a well known
sport. The Congressman pays him
a salary of $100 a week tor the fur
nishing of information relative to
the horses. The consequence is
that the investment has been a very
profitable one for the Congressman.
Among his notable winnings this
year was about $20,000 onTrouba-
dor. The odds given were seven to
one. Occasionally this Congress
man lets out some of his advance
information to a tew intimate
friends. Then there is always a rush
to the pool rooms.
Lieut. Sale's lniaiuauuu, eu .se Interna
tional Bother that Grew Out of It.
In April last the cable announced
that the Por.uguese consul at Zan
zibar had h-iuleti down his flag and
was abom to depart in high dud
geon. For several days there was
a great tempest iu a teapot, and
then things quieted dovvit and gave
lookets on a chant* to find out
what the rumpus was ail about. It
was learned that the strained re
lations between the two govern
ments had grown out of the love
affairs of Lieutenant Sale, the son
ot a Portuguese count, who held a
commission in the artny of the Sul-
tan of Zanzibar.
This festive young man met the
comely daughter ot a well-to-do
Arab merchant and fell violently in
love with her. He cared not a cent
tor all me belies ol Portugal, but he
couldjt’l live without ibis dusky
beaniy ot Zanzibar. She declined
to marry him because he was il Ro
man Catholic. That stumbling
block was easily removed. Lieut.
Sale abjured Catholicism, suddenly
blossomed out as a devout follower
of Mohammed, and soon after the
love-smitten convert and the Arab
belle were married.
Tne honeymoon did not last very
long. Lieutenant Sale soon grew
tired of a wife who couldn't read or
write and had seen nothing of the
world outside of Zanzibar. He
suddenly became reconverted to the
Roman Catholic faith and deserted
his bride. He then decided that
the cli nate of Zanzibar was very
unhealthy, and applied to the Sul
tan for a long leave of absence. The
doctor of the Sultan felt the young
man’s pulse and pronounced hint
perfectly well. The Sultan there
upon told the Lieutenant that he
was a fraud and a base deceiver and
clapped him into jail without any
ceremony.
The Sultan, it happened, had
agreed some time belore that the
Portuguesse Consul-General should
have the right to fix the punish
ment of Portuguese offenders. As
the Consul-General had not been
consulted in this case, he made
things unpleasant for his Highness
Said Bargash, and finally nauled
down his flag, a proceeding that
the Sultan could not contemplate
with indifference when Portugal
was looking enviously at a bit of
his African territory, and was not
unwiling to pick a chance to quar
tet. So said Bargash hastened to
apologize, Lieut. Sale marched out
of jail with an indemnity in his
pocket, and the flag floated again
from the Portuguese consulate.

feature that in whatever quautity It is

it such as are experienced from the use of

Lucen C. Rose Claims to be Able to
Speak and Hear witb Ease by His Tele
phone.
New York, July 12.—Dr. Lucen
C. Rose, of Ohio, would like to
give the people of this country the
benefit of ptactical long distance
telephony. He has invented an in
strument which accomplishes this
perfectly over long stretches ol
wire. But the patents secured by
the bell telephone forbid the use of
anv instrument for jhe transmission
of articulate sound by electricity,
and although Dr. Rose’s application
is at the Washington Fatcnt Office,
under the seal of secrecy, he cannot
secure a patent. Some European
countries however, are more friend
ly, and Thursday, at 11 o’clock, he
sailed in the Adriatic for Gothen-
buag, Sweden. The sweedish
government has enitre charge of
the telephone service, and a few of
th : Bell instruments are in use there,
it did not deny Dr. Rose’s patent,
however, and letters will he issued
o him as soon as his claims are
established on the continent. Ar
rangements have been made for a
public test of his instrument in
Sweden, snd his trip abroad is to
enable him to be present at the test.
Dr. Rose claims to be able to
speak and hear with ease and satis
faction with his instrument over a
distance of 2,000 miles. Public
tests have already been made over
coils ot that length of wire, and
recently a loop ot 1,120 miles long
was run into Ohio. Over this the
slightest inflection of the voice
could be easily heard, and conver
sation was catried on with case.
For commercial purposes 1.000
miles is fixed as the convenient dis
tance, and the telephone will be
constructed for that purpose.
The secret of the Rose telephone
is the possibility of increasing the
power of the electric current with
out fusing the delicate point be
hind the carbon diaphragm. Then
while Dr. Rose uses thirty-two cells
upon Bell instrument can stand a
battery of two cells only, while Dr.
Rose was thirty-two cells upon his
circuit, without damage to the
mechanism. A long cooper loop
will be erected by the Swedish
government for testing the phone,
and if the test is satisfactory the in
struments will be manufactured in
New York city for exportation.
Dr. Rose is an electrician of note.
He filed at Washington an applica
tion for atmospheric telegraphy a
lew days before the Phelps letters
covering it were issued.

There was a very awell wedding
in this city this week, says a New
Haven paper, with a queer wed
ding tour following it. The mar
riage occurred late in the afternoon
and during the evening the couple
held a reception, which waa voted
one of the most elaborate society
incidents of the early summer. At
io o’clock the bride and groom de
parted, es it was supposed, on an
extending wedding tour. They
carried a big trunk along, and the
guests made a big ado over
their departure. Instead of driv
ing to the depot, however, the
hackman steered his* horses down
to a little seaport town a few miles
distant. When this place waa
reached the couple did not alight,
but ordered the Jehu to hasten back
to the home of the bride’s parents.
Two hours after their departure the
bride and groom arrived . home and
scored tke shortest bridal jaunt on

Captain W. H. Harrison, clerk ef
the executive department, has com
pleted and had published a list of
all maimed confederate soldiers who
have been paid allowances by the
state since November loth, 1883.
Among other valuable inlorn a
tion published with the list, it is an
nounced that the third payment
will be due after the 26th of Sep
tember next Only those that have
lost an arm or a leg are entitled to
allowances. It a man has lost only
a part of his hand, he is not entitled
to the allowance for the loss ol an
“arm below the elbow.” II only a
part of a foot has been amputated,
the applicant is not entitled to the
sum allowed for a “leg amputated
below the knee.”
The law at present makes no pro
vision for any kind ot a disability
except for an arm or leg. Pay”,
ments are to be made to ex-conted-
erates who enlisted trom other
states; provided, they were living
in Georgia in September, 1879, and
have since resided therein. All
Georgia soldiers now living in tho
state aie entitled to these allowances
although they may hav> resided
elsewhere at the date of the pass
age of the original act, (Septem
ber, 1S79.) It they are now
bona title citizens ef Georgia
they are beneficiaries. Under the
act of 1SS4, any ex Confederate
who has had an arm or leg ampu
tated since the war, on accoun t o
old wounds received during the war,
is entitled to an allowance
once in every three year, fro m
December 24, 1SS4, the date of the
passage of this act. Underthe act
of October 15, 18S5, “disabld Con
federate soldiers who have lost a
