Prof. C. M. Strahan Engaged In a
Laudable Work.
Ihe Southern Alliance Farmer in
speaking of the work of the Koad Co'.
gress that assembled in Atlanta recent
ly has Borne very laudatory words to say
concerning one of Athens’ most es*
teemed citizens, it says:
Prof. C. M Strahan, of the State
University, has taken the lead in a very
much n' edtd <• ork- the ' etUrment of
our country roads. The Piotessorwas
the leading ilgure in the road congiess
last week and suggested a plan worthy
of careful consideration .There is nothing
more important than good public roads,
and we trust that tbs movement inaug
urated in Atlanta last week will be
taken np throughout the state. Qood
roads means a saving to farmers in ma
ny different vayr T*>-v *i fewer
a took and UcUit stock j .» great -aving
in vehicles; a less supply of corn and
fodder to run them, and the moving of
your market towns several miles nearer
If Prof. Strahan sneoeeds in this .move
ment, and there is no earthly reason
why he should not, the farmers of Geor
gia will owe him a lasting debt of grati
tude.

Glancing over several exchanges, a

from their onlamns as to Texas life
They are interesting in many phases.
Apparently Texans do not submit to
being robbed with any great degree of
Christian forbearance if we are to
udge fvom the instance of a Dallas
gentleman whom a burly road ageut
tried to hold up as he drove through a
suburban avenue of that city at nighi
n company with a lady. When the
bold marauder jumped into the buggy
be clutched the lady’s throat with one
hand while he covered the gentleman
with a big revolver and ordered him to
8top. But before be cmld explain
what he wanted him to stop for the
gentleman grabbed the bandit’s pistol
aud told the lady to whip up the horse,
which she did with so much energy
that tb« bandit was j-rked out of the
baggy and left his pistol behind. In
failing bis foot caught in the wheel ai.u
he was dragged some distance while the
gentleman used the highwayman’s re
volver to shoot at him ns he was thus
tobogganed aloug. Making a living in
the bandit business down in Texas
seems to be alm' St as dangerous as

Atlanta, Ga , Nov. 5 —[Special.]—
There is a sensation in the fold of the
Young Men’s Christian Association.
State Secretary George C. Jenner is
under a cloud. He was hastily called
away from Augusta yesterday to an
swer before the State committee here
some very damaging charges against
his character.
Last Sunday the
I’ribune-of-Rome coupled • bis
name with that of Mrs. Dndley, a
woman of notorious character, who has
figured in several scandals recently.
It was published that Secretary
Jenner had taken the woman to a
boarding house kept by Dr. Geiser and
bis wife, introduced her as
her cousion, securing appartment for
himself and her and liv> under the
same root for several weeks
The woman’s character was discover
ed during Jenuer’s absence and she
was ejected from the house. It also de
veloped that she bad previously been
put oat of the Central hotel, and that
she left for Atlanta .to escape farther
attention by the authorities.
A preliminary meeting of the State
committee was held yesterday and last
night, and a full meeting has been called
for next Tuesday to investigate the
barges fully. Secretary Jenner, who
was before the committee last night,
ienies the charges indignantly. He
-ays he has no r< lative in this country
but bis wife and children who live in
Atlanta. He has been State Secretary
of the Y. M. C. A. for over a year, and
no suspicion was ever cast upon bis
character.
The members of the committee here
believe him innocent.

A Texan named R mbert, says the

machine by which every gitiuer can
“compress” his own cotton. As th.
lint leaves the gin it passes between
rollers which deliver it into a flat web
that falls into the lint * ox in such shape
that the power »>f an ordinary press
will re luce a bale to a less size than a
hydraulic press can do. The manufac
turers claim that the cotton is in better
condition for the mills ’ban when com
pressed under the present system. The
machine has Ik# on trial ai Galves
ton where it is -aid to have worked
satisfactorily; It is now on exhibition
in Atlanta, w ere it attracts great at
tention. If ail that is claimed for it be
true, it is a great invention for both the
planter and the railroads—but we ha\e
our doubts about its making a smaller
bale than a hydraulic press. It is a
good deal to believe that it can make
as small a bate with the same quantity
of cotton.

THE CONVICTS. rXL
Governor Buchanan will not Call oct
the MUItla.
Chicago, Nov. 5.—A Nashville spe
cial says: E. B. Wade, state superin
tendent of prisons, after a conference
with Governor Buchanan aud Adjntant
General Norman has returned to Tracy
City. He was ordered to protect the
branch prisons there and at Inman at
all hazards.
The large foroe of guards at each
place has been furnished with arms and
ammunition, and special arrangements
have been made to prevent a surprise
by a mob, as at the other three branch
prisons.
Governor Buchanan says the lessees
want him to order a force to conduct
the convicts back to the mines, but he
is satisfied now that there exists no
good reason for calling oat the militia.
Mr. J. Goodwin, sab-lessee of the
convicts at Briceville, when asked if
oonvicts would be' returned to the
mines, said that they would not unless
the state authorities would guarantee
them protection. He said there was no
use in taking convicts to the mines to
be released in a few days.
Telegrams received by the governor
report the capture in Kentucky and
Tennessee of about ninety escaped con
victs. The captors were instructed to
return the convicts to the main prison
at Nashville and they would he paid $25
for each.

other occasions. He was listened
to by a big crowd.
HYDROPHOBIA.
Young Gumltil Suddauly Saizad With

Evansvillh, lad., Nov. 5.—Nicholas
Gambol, the 16 year-old son of Antho
ny Gumbel, of German township, died
from hydrophobia. Young Gumbel
was bitten by a shepherd dog while ont
bunting last July. The dog belonged to
him and tnraed suddenly on his mas
ter, fastening his teeth in the calf of
the right leg, lacerating the flesh. The
boy shot the dog immediately, and
nothing more was thought of the bite.
The wound healed an, and snob a thing
as the dog being mad was never dream
ed of. Saturday last young Gnmbel
was taken suddenly with convulsions
while at the dinner table and made an
attack upon his father, trying to bite
him. The hoy was with difficulty pat
under restraint and a physician sent
l>r. The convulsions continued, vary
ing in intensity with the strength of
the youth. Tbe case of the dog bite
was brought to mind and the nature of
the bov’s ailment realized. Everything
possible for the alleviation of the boy’s
suffering was done, bat to no avail,

CHILI’S NEW PRESIDENT.
Admiral George Montt'a Election Is
Belled With Satisfaction.
Valparaiso, Nov. 5.—As was for
merly announced in these dispatches,
the Liberal party won a sweeping vic
tory in the recent elections, and this
fact made the election of a Liberal presi
dent a foregone conolnsion.
The constitution of Chili provides
that the electors chosen by the people
shall meet and select and elect a presi
dent. In accordance with the provision
of this section of the constitution, the
Liberal presidential electors met and
elected as president of the republic for
next five years Admiral Jorge Montt.
The inauguration ceremonies will take
jriace the Capitol, Santiana De Chili,
It is farther believed that with the
institution of constitutional govern
ment tbe questions now at issue be
tween Chili and the United States will
he more calmv discussed and that the
outcome will he sasiafactory to both
nations.
Admiral Montt was the most promi
nent opponent of the late President
Balmaceda. and upon the breakiug ont
of the revolution took command of the
Congressional fleet. It was owing, in
a great measure to his action, that
many other naval officers deserted
Balmaceda and joined the revolution
ists.
The president-elect is extremely pop
ular with all classes, and his election
is hailed with much satisfaction on all
sides.
TAKEN FOR A BEAR.
G. W. Price Killed While Crawling In

Glenwood Springs, Colo., Nov. ft.—
G. W. Price, son of Dr. Price of Chi
cago, A. C. Fleischner and J. B. Cobh,
W. H. Hubbard of Spring Valley, as
guide, outfitted here and started for a
two weeks’ hunt on the Big Mnddy.
They camped in Jerome park, at the
head of Thompson creek, in Pitkin
county. In a place called Dun’s Dug-
out. Some time during the night Mr.
Price, who, it is claimed, is a somnam
bulist, went outside of the dng-ont,
leaving the others asleep.
Upon his return, as he crawled into
the room on all fours. Hubbard awoke
and called out: "Whose there.” and
called to the dog, but as the dog be
came frightened and no answer was
E ven. Hubbard exclaimed: "Boys,
ilieve it’s a bear, give me a gun quick,”
and Cobb hastily handed him a 45-cali
bre Cull’s revolver, and without farther
thought fired two shots, one of which
passed through the top of Price’s head,
into his body, causing his death in
about two hour-<. Tbe party returned
immediately with the body to Marion,
where an engine was procured, and all

G. Clark immediately summoned a jury
and a verdict of accidental sl/ootiqg

States against Gaorge A. Bart and Pe-
cardo Trumbull, who have been on
trial here for a week, charged with fit

arms to cruise against the government
of Chili. The court grants the motion
on two points—first, that the indict

the neutrality laws in not stating that
a state of war existed in Chili and that
the defendants were beligerents and
had been recognized as such; secondly,
the charges would not hold, because the

BLAINE AND MCKINLEY.
Washington, Nov. 6.—Ths general
feeling here is that the election* this
week and their resnlts have smoothed
the way for a Democratic vic.ory in
193.
The president, Mr. Blains and other
members of the administration se« this
and they do not contemplate the figures
of the last election with anything like
satisfaction. They have seen the free
coinage and Farmers’ Alliance eoares
falling ont of sight and tariff reform
standing ont boldly as the issne with
the certainty that a proper man will be
the nominee of the Democratic party
on a sound platform.
The members of ths administration
make bat a feeble attempt to disguise
the fact that the losses their party have
sustained are serious if not fatal. Tbe
thing Mr. Harrison was concerned
about above all else was ths election of
Mr. FassetL
His vocabulary does not snpplyaterm
strong enongh for his disappointment.
Democrats are inconsolable because Mr.
Campbell has been compelled to take,
hnt there is acknowledged vauch in
that result in the way of profit if the
Democracy will not close their eyes
to it.
It holds the Republicans to the rnh-
ber tariff as an issne for which they
most contend, and it promises to elimi
nate the free coinage of silver idea from
the fight in ’92. Thus sunlight can he
seen through the only Democratic re
vert*,
While the administration finds no
solace anywhere, the New York Sun in
an editorial leader prophesies that
Blaine and McKinley will be the Re-
mblican ticket iu ’93. It is thought
lere that the large Republican major
ity in the Ohio legislature will invite a
bitter fight between Sherman and For-
aker for the senate.

who have held the office <d Secretary oi

Blaine, who would not restrain any im
patience on the part of Mr. Harrison for

touching a controversy with France
about tbe Sandwion Islands, raid: “Thi

HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY-
Yfc. Last Hasting Flac. of tka Remain*
of Mr. D.vls.
Richmond, Nov. 6.—Ths committee
representing the Ladles’ Hollywood
Memorial association called on Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, with the view of ex
pressing a desire that the association.be
allowed the custody of the remains of
Mr. Davis. Various places of sepnltnre
were talked of, including the grounds
of the white house of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Davis raid her husband had often
expressed his aversion to any public,
noisy thoroughfare as a place of burial,
and had desired a quiet and secluded
place for himself, where his whole fain
ily might rest near him. She said she
had finally decided on Hollywood ooma-
tery, but had not aa yet selected the
exact spot. She assured the ladies that
as soon as her selection was made and
the interment had taken place she would
then turn over the whole section to the
Hollywood Memorial association. Mrs.
Davis has a son (Joseph) buried in Hol
lywood. It is also tbe place of inter
ment of some 18,000 Confederate sol
diers.
Mrs. Davis expressed her earnest de
sire to make Richmond her future home
and said it was no longer a question of
anything bat meana. If she can make
satisfactory financial arrangements she
will soon be hack to spend the rest of
her days. The site of the monument to
Mr. Davis will be left in the hands of
the Davis Monument association.

Is Threatening the’peace of Europe.
Today, as yesterday, as tomorrow,
and as for a long time to come the sic
uation of France and Germany forms
the great subject of anxiety which is
mposed upon the meditation of all Eu
ropean statesmen. At no other point
is it foieseen that war can break out.
Russia has great ambitions and Italy
haaatrong;desires,buc Russia is for
years doomed merely to cherish ambi
tions, for she can not realise them sin
gle banded, and it does
not depend upon her to provoke a
general war, which would be one re
sult of her oombined action with
France; while as for Italy, she will
never venture to give the signal of
war, for if she did she wonld be left to
herself and would be speedily crushed.
It could be solely as the result of a gen
eral war tbftt Italy could obtain her
share, and in the p r esent state of her
alliances she could take that share only
from France* so that a general war
alone could procure it for her, inas
much as, if she were left single hand
ed, she would be able to overcome
France.
Neither Austria nor England dreams
of war. It is therefore still, as twenty
years ago, France and Germany who
conld occasion war because whatever
may be proclaimed or what ever may
be concealed, these two nations desire
war—war, first for its own sake, and
next for the rest ; and if, in order to
have done with this everlasting France-
German nightmare, Europe could not
promise to fold her arms, and after
wards to intervene merely as arbiter,
war would break out to-morrow be
tween France and Germany, for the
fatality of war bannts and overrides
both nations.—De Blowitz in Harper’s.
