After the address of Mr. Hill the two
societies returned to their halls and met
with their alumni and honorary mem
bers. In the Demosthenian society re
marks were heard from several alumni,
and Hon. D. II. Hill, of Milledgeville,
and Hoke Smith, Ksq., of Atlanta, were
elected honorary members. In the Phi
Kappa Mr. Smith was elected honorary
member of this society also. Speeches
were made by Hon. 1\ W. Meldrim
Henry Grailv, Ksq., and others. The
meeting was very pleasant indeed.
In the afternoon the Sophomore dec
lamation contest took place. A splendid
audience was in attendance and was
well entertained. The speeches as a
wboie were well delivered and reflected
credit on teacher and pueil. Lack of
space prevents us from giving a detailed
account of the exercises, and permits us

rauime: . , .,

Mr. Jordon, of Hancock, then mude a

seconded by Mr. Darison, of Greene, and

turned out to hear him. His was the
annual address to the literary societies,
and at elCTcn o’clock the two societies
filed out of their respective halls, met,
turned at right angles and marched un
der' the ‘‘old Toombs oak.,” into the
chapel and took front seats. After music
Hon. W. 11. Hill was introdu ced. A few
appropriate remarks of intro duction was
followed by the announcement of the
ubject: “Socialism—the black cloud
of the nineteenth century.” The sub
ject was admirably treated from intro
duction to conclusion. Mr. Hill proved
to be a humorist as well as a sage, and
his subtle wit, irony and good humor
provoked smiles and la lighter as often as
his sensible ideas and oratorical flights
produced looks of gratifies! jo® and ap-
ma.l growth on ! day, and according to the old time cus
tom the drrkies ami our country epusins
from the neighboring counties poured
into the city, and swelled the great
crowd of visitors already here. Th e
chapel was crowded to its utmost. Long
before the exercises began the floor was
filled anu the crowd began to pour into
the galleries. The exercises began with
music and prayer by Rev 0 D Campbell,
after which the following programme
was takek up.

It will be noticed that this is a very
Urge graduating class; in fact, it is the
lai—est class that ever went forth from
chc classic halls of this reverend old in
stitution, that has passed its hundredth
birthday. The class of ’8(1 has been
remarkable one in many respects since
its birth. It has always been extraordi
narily large. In the Freshman year
numbered over sixty, and during this
year two of its members severed them
selvesand embarked upon • th j sea
matrimony. In the Sophomore year
numbered at one time seventy-eight
members. The class has always been
UNITED.
a Brilliant Social Event at Wintervllle.
Du yesterday morning at the resi
deuce of Mr. Frank Kroner one of Win
rville’s prominent citizens, there traus-
ried one of those h.tppy events
which two parties who are well known
in Athens ware deeply interested. We
refer to the marriage of Mr. J. 11. H
ter, formerly of Oglethorpe, but now a
prominent merchant in Madison,.Morgan
to Miss Ida Clarke, a recent graduate o
our Lucy Cobh Institute who since her
graduating has resided with her sister,
Mrs. Kroner, at WinterviUe. The e-
loony was performed hy Rev. J. G. Gib-
1, Oglethorpes eminent Baptist divine.

antes; Miss Minnie Edwards, W. 11.
Mustin; Miss Claude Hartstieid, Tobe
Clarke; Miss Annie Bell, C. M. Hunter;
Miss Katie Hunter, W. T. Landrum
Miss Lizzie Saunders, W. W. Blackburn.
Immediately after the ceremony was
performed, the happy couple boarded the
train for their wedding tour, which
takes in Madison, Atlanta, Salt Springs
and Cumberland Island. They were ac
companied as far as Union 1’oint, hy the
entire wedding party, who hid them

Compelled Ills Wife to Steal.
Chicago, July 17.—A case ol un
usual depiavity’ on the part of a
husband was brought out yester-
lay in a justice court. William
Brown anti his pretty young wife
were arrested on complaint of Mrs.
Kate Murray, of No. 669, 23d street
t'he wife said she wa, married 10
Brown about eight months ago, and
since that time has been continually
abused. He has not worked a
week du:irtg all that time, hut has
compelled her to steal, w.ii'e he
ptwnedtlie articles thus obtained.
Flic buiglary at the house ot Mrs.
Kate Murray was planned by him,
and he tvtn went so far
■ to open the Iront dooi
and compel her to go through
the house while he remaned at the
entrance as guard. It was known
that there was $600 in money in
the house, but the poor girl did not
succeed in finding it, and relumed
with a hawk book containing $100,
t quantity of clothing and an orna
mental clock. After getting the
property they went home, and on
the way he gave her a severe beat
ing for not finding the $600. The
-tolen property was taken to a
pawnshop, and from the descrip
tion given by the pawnbroker the
guilty parties were apprehended.
Brown was held to the criminal
court, and the young wife was re
leased and sent home.

Altai' 1 fo.n-a-.i
A | leasant faced, gentlemanly
young stranger walked into one o’f
the most sw*ll of Kearney street’s
magnificent drinking places recent
ly and called fora punch. When the
concoction was completed he raised
it to his lips at the same time that
he tossed a dollar on the bar in
payment. The coin fell like the
hunk ot lead that it was, and the
sound produced by its contact with
bar was as flat as the keicntng of a
frog in the water. The sound at-
(■acted the attention ol two or three
of the- poung man’s neighbors as
they eyed him with some curiosity,
as if wondering what sort of a vei-
dant he was to attempt to pass such
a coin. The barkeeper simply
glanced at it and smiled, and wait
ed for the stranger to produce a
substitute. The dollar piece did
look disreputable and no mistake.
It was battered and bruised, had a
plug in one corner, and the milling
around the edge was in a state of
sad decay, while a ided to all this
was a color that betokened it to be
lead from Leadville, and no mis
take.
“What is the matter?” asked the
patron of the house and proprietor
of the queer piece of bogus.
The crowd laughedT and the bar
keeper suggested that another coin
be substituted for the bad dollar.
‘ Oh, that’s it, is it?” responded
the gentlemanly young man, pre
tending to examine the date on his
unsavory profier. “Well, don’t
you know I’m glad you refused it?
That dollar is worth five times its
( ace value to any one who has com
mon sense.”
Two or t ! ree of the party grab
bed a look at the date, and then
iattghed again.
“Why, you are fo-.dish, young
man, said one of them, pityingly.
“As money, a bushel basket of
those things would not be worth
one dime. I thought at first it
might have an old date, but if it
w re coined while Noah was afloat
iothe ark it would not be worth
more than it is, which is simply
nothing.”

The private cypress from Solectno

stated that Adolfo (iongales and
Topias, the revolutionary chiefs,
with 60 men, learning that Colonel
Parejedts Cavajos had but twenty-
five men with him at Encienciada,
had left to give him battle. Last
evening it was reported that they
had met the combined forcesof Col.
Cavajos and Hermandez, fi 1 ty
strong, and had been signally de

«nd wounded. Pedro Davila,
Adolfo Gonzales and Topias, with
many of their followers, are prison
ers, and all bandits with the revo
lutionists are being killed as soon
as captured. There has been no
report as to the loss among the
troops. The revolutionists were
neatly tripped.
Part of the revolutionists have
taken refuge in the American cut
off above Santa Maria, and Sheriff
Buton, of Cameron county, and Ifis

MUTTON PLENTIFUL.
George Boothe purchased a flock tf
twenty-two sheep to give the commence

could eat while in our city. He turned
the aforesaid muttons into pastures
green, but to his utter dismay when he
went out to kill a few, he fonnd that the
dogs had got into the flock and nineteen
large fat sheep were lying around over
the pasture cold in death. Mr. Booth
being a good member of the church did
not say much, but he thought a grea
deal, and in a very short time. His firs
visit after he came back was to the drag
store, and a small bottle was f urchased
that had marked in Lig black etiers on
the label “poison.” This was' taken ou
and put in pieces of beef, and scattered!
around the pasture. The result was
very satisfactory. Dogs of high and low
degree eat thereof, and soon afterwards
their bodies strewed the ground as thick
as the sheep. Not content with poison

With th.s the bar-keeper felt im
pelled to give the young man some
kind advice, to the effect that he
had better not make any more at
tempts to pass the dizzy thing, or
he would be liable to arrest for
shoving the queer-
“That’s all right, gentlemen; I’ll
bet any of you $10 that that coin is
worth five times its face value, just
to show you that I know what 1
am about.”
“Oh, we don’t want your money,’
put in the barkeeper; ‘‘just pay lor
that drink and say nothing more
about it.”
“Very well, sir, I’ll pay for the
drink with any sort of money you
like, but when you grow wiser you
will be sorry that you did not take
your payment out of that worthy
but m suied coin,” and with this
the owner of the violation against
the law of counterfeits produced a
wallet tailly bursting with its horde
of bills and gold, and passed over
a halt t agle for the punch. ■ The
sight of his wealth at once caught
the ciowd, two of them immediate
ly offered to accept the bet he had
proposed a tew seconds before
l’he young fellow pretended to
hesitate, and tfien insinuated that
they should give him odds on thy
wager.
“Very well, since you are so
clever a numismatist, I will give
you a chance for your money; I
will bet you $20 to $10 that that
coin is not worth $5 to any one ex
cept yourself. Of course you can
not be the judge of its worth, as
you are betting on it.”
“Well, that is fair, although I
would prefer to appraise the value
of my own goods. I will take your
wager, and leave it to any common
sense man that you may select.”
“Done.”
“Bet me, too, on the same terms?”
asked another of the party, and an
other, and still another. •
The young man accepted all the
offers, and tnen offered to wage the
barkeeper drinks for the party on
the result. The drink mixer [ac
cepted, and piled $to on top of the
liquids. A respectable old gentle
man was called from the other end
of the bar to hold stakes and act as
referee. The money once deposi
ted and the terms of the bet ex
plained, the half tipsy air that the
young fellow carried suddenly dis
appeared, and with his penknife he
carefully priod the dollar apart.
The two halves split like the case of
a watch, and in the centre was a lit
tle excavation containing a splen
didly genuine 85 gold piece. The
releree passed over the staxes with
out a word. The barkeeper made a
bluff at a smile, but it seemod more
of a counterfeit than the poor old
dollar. The three \oung men who
bet fled in search «.f fresh air.
The young man quietly fclded up
his dollar, took his drink, remarked
that it was a pleasant day and went,
letving atrail of thick black gloom
behind him that could have supplied
the town where Ban Fox got beat
for the Suburban.
Burled in consecrated Ground—Archbishop
Fabre and the Verdict.
Montreal, Qle., July 16.—
Great excitement has been created
here among Catholics over burial
of a suicide in consecrated ground
and with all the usual last offices ol
the church. The facts in the case
are briefly as follows: L. B. De-
Gonzague, a native ol France, a re
spected merchant 'in Montreal, be
came financially embarrassed, and,
owing to morbid feelings of pride,
did not apply to the friends who
would readily have made up a much
larger amount than the sum he re
quired. On Wednesday morning
DeGonzague shot himself through
the head in Island Park. On the
body was found a card stating the
cause lor the suicide, and request-
• n j to be buried from Notre Dame
Hjspital, of which he had been
a nunificent benefactor. Friends
a' once sought Archbishop Fabre
a d interceded to have his bodv
buried in consecrated ground. Thi"
was at first refused, but being
varmly pressed, the Archbishop
postponed his decision until after
the verdict of the coroner’s jury.
Although all the evidance at the
inquest went to show that De Gon
zague was perlectlv sane at the
moment he committed suicide un
der temporary aberration was ren
dered.
Armed with a verdict, an influ
ential deputation again sought the
brchbishop and obtained his con
sent that the body should be buried
with the full rights of the church.
The matter has eocited a great deal
ol talk among all classes here.

A Youns Man Proves Faithless After Pre
parations for the Wedding are Made.
Bloomington, Ill., July 16.—On
Friday evening last Mrs. Ida Clarke
a very attractive young Protestant
dressmaker, espoused the Hebrew
faith. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rabbi Schaumburg and was
witnessed by numerous Blooming-
ten people. It was understood that
she took the step because of her
engegement with the young He
brew named Holland. They had
been keeping company for several
months, and a hippy wedding
seemed in prospect.
The nuptials were to have been
cejebrated this evening at the
bride's home. The young lady and
her family had made all prepara
tions, including wardrobe and wed
ding repast, and friends had been
iuvited. This morning the groom
utterly refused to be married. Rab
bi Schauraberg tried to induce him
to ( keep his promise, but he was
firm in his refusal. He gives no

How S. W. Wesley, the Cowboy Revivalist
Preached to Kansas city Sinners.

There was a man once who said
he could stand any persecution that
Christ had. He said he could prove
it, only he didn’t wish to go so far as
to be crucified. He was asked
he was willing to make the test,
and was cautioned that Christ
prayed for his assailants and for
gave them, and that he would have
to do likewise in order to do wfiat
he boasted. Well, the day finally
came for the trial to be made, and
the aflair began. He started down
the street toward the judgment hall
named for the occasion. The
crowd of citizens hooted him and
railed at him, and .the little boys spit
on his freshly blackened boots, but
he muttered: “Forgive them, for
they scarcely know what they are
about.” A young man tripped
him, but he arose from the hard
brick pavement and said: “I’ll for
give him; he knows no better.
As he was walking up the steps of
the judgment hall, a fellow threw a
rotten egg, striking the would-be
Jesus under the eye, the contents
running down his face and beard.
In a spirit of meekness he took out
his handkerchief and mopped off
his face and heard. Then turning
to his persecutor, he said: "My
friend, this Jesus business will soon
be over, ancl you will get the
dam'dest lickin’ you ever got in
your lile.”
I knew a man named Thompson
once who went to preaching all of
sudden. The church wanted to
hear his experience, because the
leading men thought it would be
very instructive for young Chris
tians. So Brother Thompson be
gan:
“I’ve been called up to tell my
experience, ah, and I’ll tell you how
I come about it, ah. I got to think
ing about religion, ah, and I went
out in the woods, ah and sat for
long time on a stump, ah. There
thought, ah, and I thought, ah.
meditated on the wickedness of the
world, ah. Pretty soon I looked
across a little brook, ah, and I saw
Brother Jones’ old jack walking
obout in his barn, lot, ah, and he
opened his mouth, ah, and said, ah
‘H-e-e. T-h-o-m pson! He, ah
Go preach, ah! Go preach, ah
Go preach, ah!'”
I tell you, brethren, there are lots
of these small-calibred jackass
oreachtrs.

tempt to sell at the Kimball house
under a transfer of that license, the
city claimed, would be illegal.
KIM.FULLV DODGING THE QJJKg-
TION.
The case came up in the Supe
rior Court this morning at nine
o’clock, and an expectant group of
lawyers and citizens gathered
about the dramatic personal to see
what the result would be. Judge
Clark called the case, the attorneys
announced ready and the hearing
proceeded.
Ml Hoke Smith of counsel for
he Kimball House, reviewed the
circumstances of the case before
the court, stating that at the time ae
on was brought against them by
the city, they were selling beer by
the quart and allowing it drank on
lie premises. This had been done
however with the knowledge on
their part that the Mayor and Coun
cil had expressed the opinion that it
could be drank on the premises.
To st p this the city had arrested
them. To protect themselves in
what they believed a legitimate pur
suit ol their business they had filed
their hill und procured the Court’s
estraining artier. Since that time
they had in deference to the public
sentiment voluntarily stopped all
drinking on their premises, and for
the past week had simply exercised
their clear legal right ot selling by
the quart under the terms of their li
cense, and had prohibited all drink-
'ng on their premises. As they had
elinquislted the right far which
they contended in filing their bill,
and as there no longer remained any
necessity for the Court’s restraining
order, they now moved to dismiss
their hill, in the belief that they
would be r.o further molested, blit
would be allowed to proceed in
their legitimate business of selling
hy tho quart under the terms of
their business, and would not need
to appeal to equity any further.
An order was taken dismissing
the bill and the lawyers and specta
tors withdrew badly disappointed!
and without having had determined
any of the points thoy thought
would be argued. *
