TUESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 8 1891 High*** of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Powder A Victim Streaming with Blood Is Lifted to the Gallows. j ABSOLUTELY PURE A Murderer’s Attempt at Sui cide to Escape Hanging. 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. Eva Freeman Hart 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.

As soon ns it stopped the en gineer and firemen were deliberately held up at the point of a rifle. Fireman Aner was relieved of his fine gold watch, and then at the muzzle of seven rifles he was forced to pick the lock and break in the doors of the baggage car under tire from the express messenger, who knew that something was wrong as soon ; j the train was slopped.

Bulling ate breakfast and s;»ent the rest of the time 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 emony and received the sacrament. 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. The deputies dragged the struggling man to the court yard and lilted him on the gullows. He refused to stand, and they placed him upon a chair. As he sat there he presented a revolting ' ,L He was dressed only in shirt trousers.

Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 1,—An instance of a man suffering for another’s sin has just comes to light here. Last Novem 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 sftid he had bought it from Mrs. Lem 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 inson. He Had Seen Better Days. Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 1.—Max Kuhn, a bartender, was found dead in his bed here.

On the fol lowing day the so-called Nicollett’s stream was traced to its source. The party surveyed DeSoto lake and then began a careful examination of the feeders of Lake Glazier or Elk Lake.
