THEIR TIN WEDDING.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Madden Entertain
Their Friends.
Maysvillx, Ga m Oot. 7 —[Special.]
—The friends and acquaintances of Mr.
and Mrs. I. A. -Madden met at their
hospitable home on last evening to cel
ebrate the tenth anniversary of their
marriage, this being their tin wedding.
On approaching their cosy home, the
grounds were lit up brilliantly with
Chinese lanterns, and the “Maysville
String Band” discoursing sweet music
in an alcove formed with beautiful
vines and evergreens on their front ve
randa. The company soon gathered
•and were invited into a room to
congratulate the bridsgroom and bride
attended on his side by his little son
about nine years of age, and on her
-ide by her little daughter. After giv
ing their congratulations, the company
were.well entertained in looking over
the many useful articles of tin given
them by their friends.
Time flew rapidly in general conver
sation and amusement, and when sup
per was announced the guests were
preceded by the married couple to two
tables, on which were spread a bounti
ful supply of the good things of this
li'e, to which ample justice was done.
After this an hour or two was spent
very -pleasantly by all. and about 10
o’clock p. m. the company retired to
tbeir several homes, the older ones to
ponder over the swiftness < t time, and
the younger ones to dream of the hap
piness in store for them in the future.

Grim Death Ends the Career of the
Great Irish Leader.
London, Oct. 7.—diaries Stewart
Pun mil has died at Brighton. His
death was the result of a chill with
which he whs attacked. He was also
suffering from acute rheumatism.
On Friday he was compelled to take
his bed, and his death occurred at Wal-
eington Terrace, Brighton, at 11;3Q
o’clock.
The news bud created most intense
excitement in this city, and the bulletin
hoards in front of newspaper offices are
Burrouuded by crowds of people waiting
to hear the slow coming details of this
most unexpected event.
On Friday evening, shortly after Mr.
Paruell had been induced to retire to
his bed, his condition became so grave
that Mrs. Purnell uud the attending
physician decided it advisable to at
once snuimou additional medical advice.
Two other physicians were at once
called in, but notwithstanding their ef
forts Mr.-Paruell continued to grow
steadily worse, and it seen became ob
vious that tne Irish leader was gradual
ly sinking, and that death was but a
question of a few days, perhaps hours.
Since late on the evening of Friday,
it appears to have been simply a matter
of awaiting Ui- arrival of the inevita
ble.
Mrs. Paruoll is utterly prostrated by
the shock, and her pliysiciaus are some-,
what apprehensive as to her condition.

Mr. Fleming responded by asking Mr.
Seay if some of bis friends had not been

Mr. Seay replied that their work had
been open and nbove board, and they
had not resorted to the process of but
ton holing legislators employed by the
lobbyists.
Colonel Huff made a strong Bpeech
for the Fleming substitute. He declar
ed that the only result of the Whitfield
bill would be to drive out the borne com
panies.
The debate was closed by Mr. Flem

The vote O" the Fleming substitute

The bill as passed provides for the

With the object of saving time and

grain into sacks when cleaning it foi;

structed a machine, which is illustrated
and described in Rural New Yorker,
substantially as follows: It is shown in
perspective at Fig. 1. The elevator shaft
is six feet long, raised throe feet above
the floor at its upper end and resting on
a 2-inch board at the lower. The Bides
of this elevator are eight inches apart in
side measure, and should be about the
same in depth. A roller Inches in di
ameter is fixed at each end. as shdWn in

upon which the driviug pulley is fast
ened. extends two feet beyond the body
of the elevator and rests at its outer end
block mortised into the 2-inch
foundation piece (see Fig. 1). The pul
ley on this shaft should not be more than
Si inches in diameter.
Within the elevator, extending from
one roller to the other, is a smooth floor,
its npper surface on u Hue with the up
per edge of the rollers, and each end hoi
lowed beneath, that it may fit closely to
the roller: but it Bhould uot be made
to touch. (See section A.) The lower

Jelly Cake Controversy Settled.
Springfield, Ills., Oct. 7.—The jelly
oake controversy which has attracted
snchwide attention, has at last been
settled by the directors of the Fair asso
ciation in favor of Mrs. J. L. Willett,
the lady who used layers of angel food
for a jelly coke, which was awarded the
first premium at the late Samgamon*
County fair. There were about 600
contestants for the premium, and after
the committee had awarded it to Mrs.
Willett, many of these joined in the
protest against the award on the ground
that Mrs. Willet .’s cake was not jelly
cake at all, for the reason that uo re
cognized authority in cooking laid down
any formula foe jelly cake made out of

threw out the protest for the reason
that it was iufonuaL After filing the
protest, a majority of the pro teeters

influence is immediate, bat a few hold
that it appears only in the offspring of
supposed crosses between the two species.
Several years'ago my observation led <ne
to donbt this influence, but definite ex
periments were not undertaken until last
winter, when a house of forced melons

morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
