A JOYFUL TRIP
FROM COLUMBUS TO THE BUST
LING CATE CITY
GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED
Bva Special Correspondent of the
Banner-A Lesson on Flirtation—A
Picture of Innocent Content
ment.
For the Sunday Banner.
We came from Columbus last week in
the enchanting freshness of early morn
ing; at least we started then. Ora, aged
six, and Jamie, aged eight, were my
companions; two as bright and sweet
little girls as one could lind from Dan
to Beer-sheba.
They looked very dainty in their
travelling clothes, and in the early stage
of the journey behaved with much
sedateness and decorum; but alas! it
was not an hour before each was trying
to outdo the other in a llirtation with
the conductor.
1 wonder if any mother knows at
what age that propensity begins in a
girl ?
I’m sure I don’t. But there are
these two mites of women playing
peek-a-boo over the back of the seat;
casting most bewitching glances from
laughing eyes, winning the heart right
out of the bosom of that middle aged
man, who doubtless had a host of
children ^tdiome.
Perhaps he had never imagined that
his little girl had any flirtatious pro
pensities; it is not with his own family
that a man flirts—as a general thing.
But as the car was nearly empty, he
unbent from his uprightness as a con
ductor,—I allude to his physical bear
ing—and just simply “carried on” with
those little girls, until, to distract their
minds from that lodestone of their elder
sister,—a man, I called their attention
to the beauties we were flying past.
A dashing rill, brawling over a peb
bly bed; the depths of forest shade
where fairies held nightly revels and
feasts, and deported themselves as no
mortal ever dared to do.
There was a long finger of sunshine
lying over a level field of cotton, which,
as the day was cloudy, was enhanced
by shadows surrounding it. Then the
mist hanging over the distant moun
tains concealing their tops; bringing to
m>nd the dismal coronach of Duncan,
in the Lady of the Lake
The little girls were much interested
in the sto r y, and committed to memory
the closing stanza.
Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam on the river,
Like the bubble on the fountain.
Thou art gone, and forever.
Tlio small, well kept parks at various
stations of the Georgia Midland, at
tracted ih >. admiration and delight cf
the children, and were a rest to the
eyes of all travellers. What kindly
thought prompted the putting of these
gems of color and refinement in the very
heart of all that is noisy, dusty, and
confusing? Whatever the motive, and
surely it could be nothing but philan
thropy—countless weary eyes have
been rested, and countless weary hearts
brightened by the glow of rich flowers
and green grass in so unexpected
place, and couutless blessings have been
thought or spoken upon the originator.
These bright spots adorn many stations
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton railroad and these people have gone
yet a step farther.
In the parlor cars on this road, early
in the se&ton when roses up there were
scarce, each lady and child were pre
sented with one large beautiful rose or
bud with compliments ol the officers of
the road.
Such totally unexpected attention
brought a flush of delight to every
la<ly’s cheek the day I enjoyed my rose.
We know that it is the unexpected that
always happens, but nobody was or :i
prepared for a corporation, that every
body knows “has no soul,” to ofle:
beautiful roses gratituously to its lady
passengers
But my little girls are getting im
patient at my desertion of them
We are now running slowly into
Atlanta, and when the train stops at
last, which the girls are quite sure it
will never do, we scarcely know which
way to go to reach the waiting room, so
much has been torn up and changed
since we were here but two days be
fore. A policeman, however, with 1
majestic wave of bis hand taros our at
tention in the right direction, and we
enter the new waiting room, which is
large and light and conveniently ar
ranged ; very much an improvment on
the old one.
As we have several hours to wait, we
dispose of our time in a very systematic
manner; so many minutes to go over
the city; so msny minutes to eat our
luncheon which we supplement by
some delicious ice cream at Durand
pleasant parlor. Much of the time
id in studying our fellow travellers
and about the waiting room, and the
lilttlo girls became interested in differ
ent
There is a fat, rely-poly child who
runs about in the most independent
way; climbing over people’s laps, and
falling over valises aud b
recklessly.
My charges do not much admire her.
Indeed they condemn her with a sever
ity that smacks of years
There is a prominent, business man of
middle Georgia who dashes in from the
street, and tears down the room to the
ladies’ parlor, from which he is prompt
ly ejected by the smiling waitress, and
be comes out faster than be went in-
ana redder. O, how the girls giggle at
that! it is too funny for anything
them.
But of all the people, big and little
that attract their attention, one small
group la of chief interest. In a corner
of the large room sits a woman with
baby In her lap. The woman is calm
faced, and pleasant looking; evidently
quite poor, but her simple clothing '
neat: and the body is just too good for
anything During the three hours we
were passing through and around the
waiting room, the baby sat on its
• lap quite happy. Some of the
he slept, but was mostly wide-
and duly sober- His large
t# seemed 10 take in everything
Utmost content,
girls/’ I said to James and
ftt trjfpw my noOff that baby is,
c< it •
You have both seen children behave
badly when they had toys of every
kind to amuse themselves with, and
when everybody tried to interest thorn;
but look! all in the world that
that baby has to play with is the wet
corner of a clean towel. It feels grate
ful to his little mouth which is no doubt
uot from coming teeth, and he is per
fectly happy.”
It was a good opportunity to poin* a
moral on contentment, and I embraced
it to the full. We could not withdraw
our interest from that particular cornet,
but after a time went there and spoke
to the woman
She said she bad been there all tbe
morning, Rut was soon going to take
the train to D . She and her hus
band had come up to attend court.
A plain tale, unvarnished by elo
quence for which there was no occa
sion.
Jamie and Ora asked permission to
give the dear little baby a stick of fresh
candy, which the iqpther smilingly
granted; and he sucked away calmly,
first at the candy and then at the tow-
; bearing the embarrassment of rich-
witb philosophic stoicism
There was much to interest us that
day, as there must ever be where fellow
beings do congregate; hut we were
finally seated in our car, homeward
bound, and found a friend there—an
old time friend—to see whom was
great a pleasure as to make observa
tions of surroundings for amusement
quite unnecessary.

BIG FIRE IN NATRONA.
Loh •1,000,000— iOO Men Thrown Out
of Employment.
Natrona, Pa., Sept. 2.—A fire has
occurred here which resulted in nearly
$1,000,000 and throws out of employ
ment nearly 800 men. The property
destroyed part of the immense plant of
the Penna Salt Manufacturing com-
jany. The building was over 200 feet
ong, fitted up at ononfious cost for the
manufacture of bi-carbonate of soda.
There was a largo stock in band which
was entirely destroyed. The building
cost $200,000. The machinery and stock
together were worth, it is estimated
$1,000,000. The fire could have been
checked had it not been for the fact
that there was no fire under the boilers
and no water could be pumped into the
building. The loss was partly covered
by insurance. The company prop
to rebuild at once. It hau orders ahead
for 100,000 barrels of soda.
Peculiar Pulpit Announcement.
Allentown, Pa., Sept. 2.—At all the
religious meetings held in six churches
near Emans since Saturday last an
uouncemeut has been made from the
pulpits that the parents of Harvey
Rickert, the 15-year-old son of Will
onghby Rickert, are anxiously search
ing for the boy, and will be glad to
receive information concerning him,
This plan of pulpit announcement has
not been employed in the churches
hereabout for seventy-five years, but
the peculiar nature of the present case
led to its adoption. The lad had taken
an axe belonging to a woodcliopjier and
had dnlled it by cutting a chain that
tasteued the gate of the churchyard
cemetery, and consequently wjis threat
eded with arrest. The bov feared iie
would bo sent to prison aud fled on
Friday, since when all traces of him
have been lost. Searching parties have
scoured the neighboring mountains for
him, bat to no purpose.
The Execution of Louis Hulling at Ha-
vannoh, Mo—He Shoots Himself with
Pistol Just Besore His Doom Is
Met—A Priest Is Arrested for Giving
Dulling (he Weapon.
Kansas City, Sept. 5.—The history of
the gallows tells no more hideous story
than that of the execution of Louis
Balling, the St. Joseph wife murderer
at Savannah.
Up to a few days ago Bulling seemed
cheerful and hopeful in the face of his
approaching death. He had twice be
fore cheated the gallows by jail break
ing. He reasoned that a chance still re
mained. To it might be added two
others—commutation of the sentence or
suicide. One of these ohances failed.
Early last week it was discovered that
Bulling had planned to break jail the
third time. Steel saws were found in
his cell and they were taken away from
him. A perpetual guard was kept over
him, and all visitors were searched be
fore being permitted to enter. ''
All means of escape were cut off and
then the doomed man sent for his father
and mother, and pleaded with them to
ppeal to the governor for a commuta-
,on of the sentence. The faithful
parents went to Jefferson City and had
several personal interviews with Gov
ernor Francis, but the governor was
firm in his decision not to interfere.
Still the parents did not lose heart.
They made another call on the gov
ernor, and pleaded for their son’s life.
The governor would not interpose.
Then Mr. aud Mrs. Bulling telegraphed
their son the governor’s decision, and
followed the message to Savannah.
They had an affecting parting from the
doomed man. When Bulling’:; second
cliunce for life disappeared he broke
down completely. When he received
from his pnrents the message that the
governor was obdurate, he fainted. He
was a confirmed opium eater aud dur
ing the night he was given large doses
of the drag. It failed to have its ac
customed effect, and the condemned
murderer slept lesfl than two hours dur
ing the entire night. Rev. Augustus
Luvake, during Bulling’s waking hours,
spent the time in reading the Bible and
aying, exhorting Bulling to confess
s sins and receive baptism.
Sheriff Berry had 6et the hour for ex-
excutiou at 10 a. m. When he went to

held up at the point of a rifle. Fireman

hours, that the sheriff yielded und gave
him until 2 o’clock to live. Bulling ate

pleading with the sheriff for mercy,
and attending to religii us exercises con
ducted by the Rev. Luvake. He still
had a faint hope of commutation, but
at noon submitted to the baptismal cer

When 8 o’clock arrived he renewed his
supplications to the sheriff, and pleaded
for one hour more. The sheriff granted
his request. The sheriff then retired,
leaving the murderer with Mr. Lavake,
at the same time removing the guard
from the cell door, at Bulling’s request
to be left with his spiritual adviser.
Tbe stillness of the jail was broken
only by the voice of the priest, when
suddenly two shots rang out. The
sheriff ran to the cell. The priest lay
on the floor. At his side lay Bulling,
weltering in his own blood, which flowed
from wonnds in his breast. He had
shot himself twice with a revolver, aud
the priest laid fainted. An examination
of Bulling’s body showed that one of
the bullets had entered the left breast,
and, glnnciug from a rib, had passed
around his body and come out of his
back. The other bullet only made a
slight flesh wound in his left side. He
swore at them in a horrible manner.

Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 1,—An instance
of a man suffering for another’s sin has

ber Thomas Garvey, for many years an
office-holder in this county, died in a
local hospital, to which he had been
moved from the boarding house of Mrs.
Mary H. Lemmon, the wife of a well-
known contractor. It was known that
when taken ill Garvey had over $100 in
money and a fine gold watch and chain.
After his death neither money nor
watch could be found. A negro named
Charles Dickinson, who had worked in
the boarding house, was arrested and
convicted. He was given the extreme
penalty, ten years in the penitentiary.
A few duys ago a local detective saw
the Garvey watch in the hands of a
dealer in second-hand goods. The man

mon. When taxed with having taken
the watch she admitted it, bnt claimed
she did so because Garvey owed her for
board. She denied all knowledge of the
money. In view of this revelation the
governor will be asked to pardon Dick
