Congress of All the Amer icas—Th«y #*e Jealous of Our Great New York, Bept 25.—A Washington special to The Herald says: The state department is receiving just stow from oui representatives in Europe » great many interesting extracts from European journals expressing some alarm over the effect upon European traded the coming conference of the American nations. Some of them are almost hysterical in their appeals to the South American republics to distrust «txr advances and continue to trade in Europe. Europe is waking up to the possible xeevita of the congress in. earnest Lie Temps, of Paris, has been publish ing a series of articles expressing the S vest fears «s to the consequenoes ol congress. It declares that it ia in tended to font a zollverein among all the Americas states, which, while fos tering their commerce among them selves, will practically exclude that oi Europe. The paper goes on to urge the English and french merchants to make every effort to prevent the realization oi the result, and to induce the “Hispano- MEXICAN NEWS. The of Americanos” to adhere to their ancient Systems. Heretofore they have been tinder the dominion, commercially and comewhat politically, of Spain and the ! test of Europe. They are just escaping from this. Commenting on the above article in Le Temps, La Epoca, of Mad rid, has also been publishing vigorous comments on the congress. A German Paper's Wall. One of the latest communications re ceived at the state department is from Minister Fred. Grant, dated Aug. 8, 1888. It is a long article from the Vienna Fremdenblatt, the organ of the minister of foreign affairs of Austria- Hungary. It says: ‘•The United States government has Invited all the governments of the new world to take part in a congress to be held in Washington under the watch word of ’United America, ’ and especial ly ’America United against Europe. ’ ‘’Uniform weights, measures and coinage are to be introduced, a court of arbitration appointed to settle all dis putes between American states, en croachments of European states in con nection with American affairs are to be jointly opposed, and the most important of alL a uniform tariff of rates of cus toms duties is to be established. “The plan," says The Fremdenblatt, ‘is one of imposing grandeur. andSec- vetaryjRiaimj wne conceived it, will thereby add numbers to the ranks of his paity. xem^ a ^^8 with this ^ view that this bo\a was wlucr ® 1 ^ ■/ “That tb'Saeccss of Mr. Blaine's de- f Vice,” tie article continues, “would be chips _ M South America, and our Austrian Queers well know the value of their Bra zilian and Argentine customers, who purchase their china, gloss, paper, fancy goods, shoes and other articles exported to those countries. ’’If those perts should be closed to us y tariff rates as high as those of the Jnited States a large part of our work men, and a still larger part of German, French and English laboring men would be in danger of losing their em- -’-Tment Volcano of Coltma In a State Kruptlon—Robbed By Tramp** City or Mexico, Sept. 25.—Steven Eaton, an American railroad contractor now in this city from Colima, has been an eye witness of the late eruption of the voloano of Colima, which is thirty miles north of the city of the same name. This volcano has its crater at an elevation of 12,000 feet above the sea level, and is very active, intermit- tantlv throwing up a column of smoke and red hot ashes hundreds of jtoet in the air. ; These spasmotic eruptions oc cur about ten or twelve times a day and are followed by reports similar to the discharge of artillery. A few days before the earthquake last mouth the volcano vomited forth a dense black smoke that hung like a pall over the country for mills around. This phe nomena lasted for several days, and was accompanied at intervals by showers oi red hot ashes, which descended upon its side. It is not known whether oi not any lava is being thrown out, as the red hot ashes makes investigation im possible. At night the sudden erup tions present the appearance offire- woricsof ai' gigantic character. These sudden spurts illuminate the country for miles around, and the spectacle is a grand one. Depredation* of Tramps. George Carlyle, an American locomo tive engineer, was robbed at Vera Cruz a few days ago of $1,050 in cash by two American tramps named Gallagher and McKenna. The thieves were arrested and ih company with a number of other tramps of American origin, are now do ing service in keeping the street* streets clean in that city.

The sloping hillside at Juneau park, where 100,00b people were seated on the night of tht sham naval battle, was moved si> inches.

Stabbed Him from Behind. Peru, Ind., Sept 25 —Dan. Hinkle, a somewhat noted character of this city, .stabbed Alexander Worley in the back possibly fatal wound. The stabbing occurred in a saloon. It seems the men had been drinking and came to words over some trivial matter, when Hinkle, who was the most boisterous of the two. S r 1 oi sing it os being It would be a serious if xefl ter, too far removed. loss to Europe if the politicians of Washington should succeed in uniting the whole American continent not in a angle free territory, but in a territory surrounded bj insurmountable customs barriers. *• ’America ter Americans’ is the Mon roe doctrine. ‘America for the North Americana’ is the doctrine of Blaine. We cannot believe that the people of Mexico, Brazil, the La Plata apd other Latin states will ever submit to this. ” The Vienna paper goes on to say that the states to the south of the United States ore not likely to submit to the ynsnes of these millionaires of the Union. It follows up this statement by giving thbu. advice as to where they shall sell their raw material and buy their finished products, and urges them Mot to attempt to change their present European trade routes, for fear these Americans wil? take undue advantage of them. As .these markets in the south of America doss up, one after another, more and mors each year to European •manufacturers, they are turning weir 'Views toward Africa and other undevel oped countries to make up for the lack. These statements are made strong and samest because of the dependence of European manufacturers on foreign JHaritete.

EigL many oases a matter of commercial life . commercial movement The Fremdenblatt goes on to say some remarkable things. For instance, it says: “Not a single European state has ever contemplated committing encroachments on Ameri can states.” How was it when, about twenty-five years ago, a prince of the house of Hapsburg hoisted his new im perial flag oi Mexico over the castle walls of Miramar, and a few days later set sail from Trieste to come over and take possession by the aid of Napoleon’s troop of a free and independent country •which neither sought nor desired his presence? A prominent American diplomatist said: “Some nations are like some in dividuals—they have mighty short memories.

Tho comments of papers in three oi *ne principal capitals of Europe are not »• wnj wo* that oould be quoted, but THE NEWJFOUNDRY- [KUKDEKED NEIGHBOR’S BABY- Every day it seems that Athens gets new industry of some kind. Among tiie late achievements that have been obtained none stand out so prominently as does the new foundry. It is just what Athens has needed all along for the promotion of her differ ent industries. There is not a completer foundry in the South than the one al ready in operation in Athens, but with the new impetus that everything has lately token oh it requires laiger faeili ties in this line to supply the demand in -this business. With a recognition of this faet the folowing enterprising gentlemen have organized themselves into a strong and substantial company for the purpose of establishing and carrying on a new foundry in Athens: Messrs. J. M. Smith, B. B. Williams, George Dudley Thomas, John W. Hin ton, John R. White and R. H. Reaves, together with such others as they may hereafter see fit to associate with them. It is the purpose of these gentlemen :o establish |as soon as practicable borough and complete foundry for the manufacture of machinery, moulding iron, making tools and agricultural im plements and ^various other persuits •omiuon to the best and completest foundries in the land. They will also devote attention to woodwork and will iiave a general line of mechanical pur suits. The petition for corporation has al ready been published and a capital stock of twenty-five thousand dollars »ias been subscribed and the necessary ten per cent, already paid in for opera tion. The petition applies for power to raise the capital stock to one hundred thousand dollars at-will. This is a great enterprise for Athens and one that will do as much for the city in the way of building it up mate rially as any other industry recently established. As Soon as the Body Is Found Mr. and Mrs. Edwards Will Be Dynclf Special to The Banner. T . . . . Eldorado, Kan., Sept.—24 A man and woman named Edwards, who were working at a farmhouse near Rosalie, this countyi were asked by Mrs. Bloom, a neighbor, to look out for the latter’s baby while the mother made a call. When Mrs. Bloom returned the baby was missing, and the Edwards declared that they knew nothing of its where abouts. Mrs. Edwards’ actions aroused sus picion,and she was finally charged with haying murdered the child. She indign antly denied the charge, and the search was continued. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomer were satisfied in their minds that Mrs. Edwards had made away with it, and to test their suspicions they proposed to extract a confession from her. Finally she was told that she was to be hanged and had better confess the crime. The MOVING ON. Fair Fast Assuming Mammoth Proportions. NEW ATTRACTIONS ADDED EVERY DAY TO THE ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM.

The fact that a certain newspaper has fearfully predicted that the directors will not have sufficient time to get up the Fair-like anything of a suecess has but little weight on this body of live and energetic men, who have pledged their money and labor to the success of their charge. These gentlemen know no such word as fail, and the fact that they have boldly- taken hold of the Fair is a suffi cient guarantee to every citizen of Athens and this section of the State that it will be an unbounded success. Thefact that the directors have the means and energy to push the matter through is evidenced by the success of undertakings in the past, aud no one dares to doubt that the Nbrtlieast Georgia Fair this year will be the grandest show ever given in this section of the State. There yet is left two months time to work up a fair, and already much of the work has been completed. Tiie circu lars and premium lists have been ar ranged and are being issued from the Banner’s Job office in rapid succession daily. The whole country will be flooded with these so soon as they are finished, and the interest of the Fair will be worked up most thoroughly in every section. The arrangements for a most attractive program each day have been perfected and the different amuse ments and various exhibits of eery kind will successfully vie with any ever dis played on the grounds of the Northeast Georgia Fair Association. All of this has been done, and more. The direc tors are exerting themselves in their ef forts to make every feature of the Fair ’prri eer in *c>rrr rerptc^.— Ot>nMmtmco- tion with racing men of the country has warranted as fine racing at our fair as has ever yet been seen in Georgia, and the athletic sports and base ball games will be finer than were ever witnessed in this section of the country. It is now the intention of the direct ors to get two of the finest baseball teams in the South to cross bats during the Fair.

The Times Says that Pledger Will be Appointed and He is a Marked Negro. Special to the Banner. Atlanta, ^Ga. September 24.—Your correspondent got hold of an interesting bit of news for Brunswick to doy.J Among the Republicans here it is positively asserted that W. A Pledger, negro, will succeed Hon. J. E. Dart as collector of your port. * Pledger claims that he has President Harrison’s unqualified promise to ap point him. AJfew days ago Pledger approached a well known citizen of Bruuswick and asked him if he thought any of the dep uties in the Brunswick custom house would consent to serve under him. He was emphatically lintormed that none of them would do so. Pledger, it will be remembered, is the negro who wants a convention of his race in Atlanta immediately after the Piedmont Exposition. His schemes does not take except with the politico- preachers of his race, who, by the way, are the worst sort of fire brands. If Pledger is 'appointed collector of the port of Brunswick, it is not likely that he will enjoy the discharge of his peculiar duties. He is a marked man in Georgia, and nothing that he can do will ever relieve him from the burden of being regarded by conservative peo ple as a maker of mischief and a design er of unholy plots against the peace of the State. The old veterans of Greene county will meet at Siloam on the second Fri day in October, Fair > There will be a very exciting Conte'S of the University’s crack foot hall teams, aud the college boys will figure con spicuously in various athlet ic sports. The prizes awarded will be excellent and tempting ones, and the interest in the athletic portion of the Fair’s program will be exciting in the extreme. The various features of the Fair cannot be given in detail here and now. Suffice it to say that the directors are busily engaged in the work of getting out a program that will be amusing to every one and equally profitable to all. Witli trotting and running races, bicy cle races, foot races, base ball, foot ball and other athletic contests,. the amuse ments will be complete, while the ex hibits of merchants and the ladies’ de partment iucluding their chrysanthe mum display, and the farmers’ exnibit of Georgia raised colts and stock, and grandjmuster of Allianceraen, and their displays—all will add together in one vast array of fun, merriment, sight seeing and instruction that will make the Northeast Georgia fair what the directors intend to make it, and what their efforts will prove it, an unqualified success in the fullest ac ceptation of the term. Too late to have the fair? Well, hardly. Virtually the fair is ready to open right now. The people are all interested in it, and every class will be represented on the grounds each day, The exhibits will be on hand whenever the grounds are opened to them and the exercises will be whenever the di rectors are ready for them. The ladies are arranging their department in fine shape and will make it one of the greatest attractions of the Fair. The fact is, the Fair is fast assuming the proportions of a mammoth event. Nothing will be left undone by the wide-awake board of directors, and there will be one continuous round of pleasure and fun night and day. Man ager Haselton, of the New Opera house will have several fine plays on the hoards during the Fair week. The authorities will also arrange to have fire-works during the week at night. During the coming two months the directors of the fair will get a lively move on them, and will have every thing in readiness for the opening. bottles of medicine'° CKl5 °* Wo °^ i to death by a bull. ° ’ ' Vas got ’—The slaves on Nevise* t, been driven to revolt ' volt several Americans —Gen, Powell, of IUinois urged as a candidate for the r commissioner of pensions, P U0111 -Parachutist Leroix, i„ descw from a balloon at Seval into the sea and was drowned 1 The Baltimore Sugar Ketai nf , pany lias been incorporated r • Stock $1,000,000—10,000 shares X each. « —The testimony in the 17 contw, election cases, to go before the congress, fills 15,554 pages of a office"^ 1 at the govermneilt l'rini Joseph Kemp was yesterday ri and rescued from the debri« of Quebec avalanche, after he had buried 108 hours.
