Although various explanations have

Bivsterv. .Mello’s guaras, unless there

out of the story that Peixoto’s men were
on duty there and, acting under orders,
it up on seeing the British sailors
land, mistaking them for Mellor’s men,
iKvaiw it was an insurgent magazine.
The most plausible explanation ad
taw<d. fortified too by Mello’s charge
that the government was resposible, is
that some of Peixoto's gunners, seeing

The explosion was terrific—in fact,
there was a succession of violent shocks

Trenton, Nov. It. — Inquiries are 3.
pouring into political headquarters from t
all parts of the st ite as to whether Judge
Depue’s decision declaring the gerry
mander law uilconstitutiou.il will havt
any effect on the election of aasembly
men in last Tuesday’s election.
According to “Judge Depue’s decision
all the assemblymen elected, except i:
the counties of Cape May, Gloucester.
Ocean, Salem, Somerset and Sussex,
have not a legal claim to seats in the as
sembly.
The Democratic politicians, who were
amazed and disheartened by the tidal
wave that swept over the state last Tues
day, giving the Republicans the decided
advantage of a majorrty in the next
legislature, are now advocating that
Governor Werts take advantage of the
law which empowers him to call a spe
cial election when there is a vacancy in
the assembly. They say that if Judge
Depue’s decision makes the election of
last Tuesday for assemblymen in these
counties invalid, the only course open to
the governor is to call a new election.
The Republican leaders say that if
Governor Wertz did this, it would only
complicate matters, as there would sure
ly be two sets of assemblymen clamor-
oring for seats in the next legislature.
F*n*t, a learned alchemist, doctor
of philosophy, having reached that
age, when all pleasures that this world
sustains fades, invokes the aid of the

Faust youth, health and passions and
all the pleasurable enj lyment to he
drawn therefrom upon condition that
when the gaunt has been ran his soul
shall belong to Mephlsto. Faust is
dtszled and held spell-bound by a
beautiful vision of Marguerite, wrap
ped in an angelic halo, whloh fades
away as he passionately ruches upon
it. He secedes to Mephisto’a demand
and a compact is drawn between them.
The aged and senile philosopher is
transformed into a handseme youth
burning with pa«sion and eager with
anticipation. From thii time for

Then follows hie meetings with her,
their mutual love; hie betrayal of her
confide ice, the poisoning of her
mother, while seeking only to mak-
her slumber more deeply; the return of Valenti oe, her soldier brother, whose
anguish ar.d rage know no bounds when informed of hie blasted home. He
meets Faust and by the devil's aid is killed. Insidious Mepbisto excites the
justice loving neighbors cf Marguerite by informing them of the seeming unna

Faust finds his way into Marguerite** cell through the intervention -of the
devil, only to Had poor Marguerite partially demented. He proposes to oarry
her away t-> escape the dread consequences of her supposed crime; bat at this

Opinion iu Washington*
Washington, Nov. 11.—Navy depart
ment oilicials are not a little exercised
over the reports that Admiral Mello has
resumed the bombardment of Rio.
Tin y are chiefly interested to know if
Mello is violating the compact made
M-v, ral weeks ago with representatives
of foreign powers, a copy of which was
transmitted lately by Captain Picking.
It was agreed to by all the naval powers
except Germany at a meeting held on
the flagship of the French admiral, the
Bti.iur ran al officer in Rio.
This agreement included Mello’s pledge
tut to lire upon tho town, Peizoto’s coun
ter pledge to dismount all guns in Rio,
flint a promise that if Mello bombarded
the city, without heinj' fired upon by
iV.v-tn from tho city, loreign warships
— \eept Germany’s—would compel him
to de-ist.
special instructions have been sent
sine,-1 hen to Captain Picking. The ad-
tmnistration is very jealous of foreign
ict-rferen
It is believed at tho navy department
that nothing but conviction that his
ran-!* is desperate could induce Mello to
fin- upon Kio in face of the protests of
tie-foreign powers, unless he was pro-
Tvkthl by Poixoto hreuking his pledge.

The Death of Miss Mamie BrightweU
Saturday Morning
Another home in Athena is darkened
and many hearts are sorrowing for one
whose unfettered spirit has soared up
ward to the great White Throne.
In the early hours Saturday morn
ing tbe finger of God touched tbe tired
eyelids into eternal sleep and Miss
Mamie Brigbtwell, the accomplished
yoffc> g daughter of Mr. J. W. Bright-
well, joined the white-robed throng
that sing the praises of the Most High
Far several days she had wasted away
under tbe ravages of fever, and when
at last the heur of dissolution ap
proached, she faced the final struggle
with true Christian bravery. Is was a
touching scene when she called her
father and her loved ones to her bed
side and bade them bood-bye, and then
sank sweetly to rest in tho arms of her
Master. _
Miss Brightwell was just blooming
into womanhood and by her genial na
ture had made as many frienda as any
yonng lady in the city. She was a
member of tbe Christian church of this
oity and led an exemplary Christian
life.
Death at all times and under all cir
cumstances is a sad, a solemn thing.
But there is an added sorrow when the
relentless siokle is placed to tbe harvest
of a yonng and promisit g life—an aoh
ing void o imea in many a heart that ia
not filled until in God’s own time all
sorrows cea e in tbe great beyond.
So genii 1 and so pare was the life of
this young lady, so wholly was it given
to doing good for others, so thoroughly
was it consecrated to the service of
Christ, that in her death one reads the
life of another LittlaNell, and over her
bier repeats the words of England’s
great writer: ‘ When death strikes
down the innocent and young, for
every fragile form from whiob he lets
the panting spirit free a hundred vir
tues rise in shapes of mercy, charity,
and love, to walk tbe world and bless
it. Of every tear that sorrowing mor
tals shed on such green graves, some
good is born, some gentler nature
comes. In tbe Destroyer’s steps there
spring up bright creations that defy
his powti- and bis dark path becomes a
way of light to heaven.”
Tbe sorrowing relatives and friends
have the sympathies of all in their deep
affliction, and the wish that to them
He who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb may be kind.
Tbe remains were carried to
Antioch church in Ooonee Sunday
morals g at seven o’clock, where the
funerai exercises were conducted Dy
Rev. W. A. Chastain, of this city, and
the interment made by tbe side of the
yonng lady’s mother who is buried
(bore.
It dots not necessitate that a person
to be economical should be stingy and
mean and that the one that practices it,
(economy), for the parpoee of doing
good with his savings in this way, will
not be. We knew a man that wap one
of the most economical characters yon
seldom met in bis living and savirgs
yet ha was perfectly honest in all his
dealings—would pay every farthing dne
and exact the same. He waa always
ready to give when called on for chari
table purposes, and at one oalling for
missionary work, contributed one thou
sand dollars. This man was economi- *
cal but not'to meanness, that he mights
in this mode of saving have the where-
with to help a good oau«e when and
where needed. How much better thic
mode of living and doing than to bt
foolish, extravagant and wasteful; nav-
ing nothing to help in any good and
worthy cause.
We recollect.not long since of hear
ing a husband say that bis wife’s ex
travagance kept him a poor man. She
would throw away from each meal good
and wholesome food, enough to supply
his table the next meal, which economy
would have saved for that purpose.
This extravagance with his own tobacco
and other foolish habits keeps him
where he is, as peer as poverty. Some
women are awful extravagant—they
don’t know tbe definition of economy,
keeping their husbands in debt and hot
water all the time.
A gentleman told me t hat his wife
was worrying him about getting some
foolish thing that wss not necessary
only for a false show, saying, as she
did, if you have not. the money your
credit is good. This samo party was
head over -heels in debt, brought there
and kept there by his foolish and ex
travagant wife.
Now dear wives, be economical—help
your husbands, don’t throw away, but
be saving—set him an example in thi?
way if needs be.
How much happier the majority of
families would be if they would make
economy one of their strong points in a
domestio life, enabling them to help
the it-firm, the poor and needy. It was
stated in tbe First Methodist oburoh
that out cf the six hundred or more
members belonging to it, onlv about
>ne bandied aud fifty that paid any
thing towards its support. It would
not figure in this way if more economy
was practiced by the members
It is extravsgiDoe, not < conomy, that
keeps bo mar.y people poor, in debt,
dishonest and rascals. There is no
virtue so unduly appreciated as econo
my, nor is there one more truly
worthy of estimation. The neglect ot
economy eventually leads to every
misery of poverty end degradation not
urfr q ently to every variety of misery
auo crime- If a man doe9 not honestly
manage to live within bi3 own means,
he must nroe>sarily be living dishonest
ly upon the m“ans of someone else
Economy is not striotly confi ed to
individuals or families, but should be
practiced in the management of public
affairs. Almost every oity and comma
nity throughout the l&nd could be
benefltted by its practice. Athens, if
more economy had been indulged in,
would be financially able to have a city
clock, but dear me me, she is too poor
and getting poorer. Skiff, the jeweler,
will have to make arrangements for tbe
clock.
About side-walks on Broad street-

the Mayor has nothing to say, he will

a dav, hitting his toes against the
broken walk but not a word.
The Athens Savings Bank is snrely a
saving and economical institution, to
saving to repair the walk in front of
tbeir beautiful building. They are
practicing economy, which is parent of
integrity, cf liberty, and of ease, of
cheerfulness and he&lfcb.

IN THE PAYMENT OF THE IN
TEREST OF THE
MOTEASTERN RAILROAD BONDS
And the Governor Will Seize
the Road and Operate It—
An Athens Man for
Manager.
The Northeastern railroad will in a
few hours be in the bands of the Gov
ernor of Georgia if it is not already
there.
This comes abcu’, from tbs fact that
the Richmond and Danville system,that
has been operating tbe Northeastern
has d faulted in paying the interests
on the Northeastern railroad bonds
which was due on Nov. 1. ,
That system failed to meet the inter
est when it fell due, on account it it*
presumed of small earnings that would
not warrant the further holding and
operating of the Northeastern.
This of coarse makes the State of
Georgia liable for the payment on the
bonds as it is endorser on them. Tbe
bonds amount to $260,COO, and in addi
tion to these there have been iasned
$315,000 bonds on the road since the R-
& D. took oharge of it. These last
bonds of course are not endorsed by tbe
State and there is now litigation con
cerning them on tbe ground that th<
R & D. had no right to pat them on
the property of the Northeastern. This
will result in all probability in the lat
ter bonds being declared invalid.
The road will now be seized by Gov
ernor Northen in behalf of the State’e
benefit. This action on the part of tl)p
governor will necessitate the appoint
ment of a manager to take charge of
the road and operate it, and it is under
stood that Mr. Reaves, of this city,
will be urged for that place.
, '* AN ATHENS MAN.
The Connoil met Saturday at eleven
o’clock and passed a resolution which
will be presented to Governor Northen-
Tbe resolution recites the fact that
Athens contributed the large majority
of the money to build tbe read that it
is tbe terminus of the road and that it
furnishes the greater balk df traffic
Hence it is bat right that an Athens
man should be appointed to operate the
road in the interest of the State and of
Athens. Governor Northen will prob
ably appoint someone to take charge of
the road in a few days and will then
have the road operated for the benefit
of the State to protect its endorsement,
of the Bonds. The road will probably
be sold by the State when times get
better.

FOOTBALL GAME.
VANDERBILT
EASILY.
The University Team Played
Good Ball, but Were Una
ble to Cope With the
Superior Skill of the
Tennesseans.
-**.
Nashville, Tenn., November 11.—
[Special.]—After playing with superb
grit against oxerwhelmi’-g weight and
skill the University was defeated this
afternoon by a score of 35 to 0.
Shackleford, Brown, E, Butler and
Halsey, indeed all fought like tigers,
but against the superior weight and ex
perience of Vanderbilt it was useless.
Vanderbilt has a much better team
than the Teohs, ard oar boys did finely
to keep the score down to what it was.
Smith and Butler received injuries
which stopped their playing for a few
moments, and Warren and E Brown
were hart so badly as to force
them to ^retire Brown’s injuries are
severe.
But for a decision of the umpire the
University would v<»ry probably have
made a touchdown. The ball was at
Vanderbilt’s 18 yard line and in the
schrimage, Shackelford he’d the ht'l.
Dortch p&tced his hand'3 around it and
olaimed it for his side. The referee
was by bis own statement, undecided
about it, bnt he gave the ball to Vander-
bilt. At another time the ball had been
pushed by the Athens boys and the six
yard line hit. The turtle back was
twice used with no gains and the ball
went to Vanderbilt. The Vanderbilt
men UBed the turtle back but twice in
the game, but with good gains.
Their advances were made by bucking
the University line which was too light
