Walling for the wilful murder of Pearl Bryan. When the patrol wagon drovo to the jail door wu Sycamore street to take Jackson and Walling to the polico court there was a curious crowd ou the sidewalk to catch such a glimpse of the prisoners as could be had as they mounted the stairway from the jail door and crossed the walk to the wagon. Both were handcuffed. They enter ed into no conversation ns they met for the first time for several days. They wero driven quickly to tho city hull and were plnced in tho cells until they should be called for their hearing. Meantime a most unusual scene was witnessed in and about the courtroom. There was a wild struggle for admis sion into the little temple of police justice, and idl the hallways adjacent were jammed with men and women wh ■ were unable to even look into the doorway of the courtroom.

Also a bill granting a like amount of land to the samo state for tho use of tho Tuskegoo Normal and Industrial inBtituto. The announcement is made that Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, has consented to permit liis name to go before tho republican convention at St. Louis. The senator is now in tho hands of his friends, and his promi nence as a factor in tho race will do- pend upon their efforts. It is under stood that tho senator has full knowl edge of tho statement thus made pub lic.

Four Hundred and Fifty Delegates In Session in St. Louis. Four hundred and fifty delegates were present when the first day’s ses sion of the Grand l odge of the An cient Order of Uuited Workmen of Alissonri was called to order at St. Louis Wednesday. Aluyor Wolbridge made an address of welcome and was responded to by Supreme Alaster J. E. Riggs. The re ports of officers wero submitted in printed form and accepted. Commit tees wero appointed and submitted re ports. The question of expelling or admit ting liquor dealers to membership iu the order, which has been under ad- visemeut for some time and has canned considerable feeling, will cause much discussion. Mwre Soldiers for Spain. Twelve hundred soldiers for the re inforcement of the Spanish army in Cuba embarked at Barcelona Thursday and other parties aggregating 4,500 will follow. new bonds. Tho total reported to the treasury to date, bnvo aggregated $02,988,746, or more than 50 per cent of tho total issue. Tho Alorgau syndicate paid iri all of its purehaso money during the day, with tho object in view of catching any of tho defaulting bidders’ bonds, to which they nro entitled to render their blank et bid of 110,6877 for $100,000,000, or any proportion thereof. How many bidders defaulted, and iu what amounts and who they are, is not yet known at tho treasury. Reports on Cuba’s Sugar Crop. Consul Genera! Williams bas sub mitted to the department of state ta bles prepared by a competent sugar statistician showing that on January 1 st only 23,809 tons of sugar had been received at Havana of this year’s crop, against 145,337 tons received at tho same dato last year. United States Consul Hyatt at San tiago reports, under dnto of February 1 that the planters in that part of Cuba are now grinding the unburned portions of cane. Tho work is much retarded because tho hands caunot bo induced to work at night, fearing attack by tho insur gents. If sugar making proceeds un disturbed the consul predicts a half crop in his district. The Correspondence Furnished. In response to a resolution adopted in the houso calling on tho secretary of state for copies of the correspond ence between this government and Spain iu relation to tho warfaro in Cuba, etc., tho department of stato has sent to the house tho data askod for. It is very voluminous, comprising copies of some 2,000 letters, the larger number of them between the - depart ment of stato and Consul General Wil liams at Havana and with other con sular officers in Cuba. It also includes correspondence with Alinister do Lome and with the Spanish foreign officers. The senate has confirmed the nomi nations of A. B. Claytou, postmaster, Bedford City. Va., and a list of pro- lamou i.y transporters, merchants and others engaged in business pursuits. Business men have and will continue to suffer great depressions in value and increasing losses until a better adjustment is made. Business men need and business in terests require, the report concludes, a just and more satisfactory settlement of d fferences with those with whom they deal and npon whoso labor and products successful busine-ss must de pend. The better labor is protected in all its rights the better will be the security for earnings. Big Imports of Sugar. Mr. Worthington C. Ford, chief of the bureau of statistics, issues tho ud- was a shade below 2.2 cents per pound. A year ugo the price was 1.8 cents o pound, showing nn inoreaso of nearly 25 per cent, in import valuo. ' ho treasury will thus get more than $2,000,000 in rovonuo for the imports of the last month. Senator Slierman Is Happy. A Washington special says: Sena tor John Sherman is gloating over the defeat of silver in tho house. lie has given out an interview in which he ad vises us to what should bo done now. Here is what ho says: ‘‘The veto in the houso on the free silver substitute may bo considered a final verdict against free coinage. The last congress had a much larger silver element. The next congress, I firmly believe, will bo for ‘sound’ money in both house and senate, and the free coiuago movement will be at an end as a political issue. “The measure of greatest import ance now is the tariff bill, the consid eration of which tho democrats op posed and were supported in their, op position by certain republican senators of froe coinage views. I do not see why tho democrats should oppose the tnriff bill. It is not framed on pro tection lines, and would increase the revenues sufficiently to rolievo the treasury and tho administration from embarrassment. “I am entirely confident that Presi dent Cleveland would allow the tariff bill to become a law if it passed con gress, even though he did not sign it, As the situation now is, President Cleveland would bo justified in bus pending all public work which is not absolutely necessary. By so doing he would stop the deficit and place the treasury balance ou tho other side.” ANALYSIS OF THE BIDS. iilitapj>g nn mil it governors, chiefs of columns military commanders. IIo says ntqbngblber things: ‘'But I think it convenient to add seme instructions at present and to state that tho insurrection and tho re cent march of the principal loaders thereof, without its being possible for the Spanish column to provout it, in dicates indifference on tho part of tho inhabitants and also fear and discour agement. I cannot understand their inactivity while their property is being destroyed. Spaniards can not sympathize with insurgents. It is necessary at any cost to oppose this state of things and re animate tho spirit of tho inhabitants. I have come disposed to help all loyal citizons. I am at tho same time dis posed to make uso of all tho rigor of tho law against thoso who in any form holp tho enemy, speak well of them or discredit the prestige of Spain, of its army, or volunteers. All who are with our sido must domonstrnto tho facts with acts and leave in tho attitude no place for doubt in proving that they are Spaniards. Tho Morgan Syndicate May Get Less Thun Fifty Millions. Late Friday afternoon Assistant Secretary Curtis announced that he was able to state that from a complete analysis of tho bids for bonds they rhowed that bids aggregating $66,788,- 1 650 above 110,6877 has been received | and tho 780 persons making those bids would be awarded bonds. The Morgan i syndicate’s bids of $110.6877 for $100,- 000,000 bonds or any part thereof, would be accepted for the balance of the $100,000,001) or for $33,211,350. j All bids below the figuro 110.6877 are therefore rejected. Tho gold reserve ut the cl oho of business Friday stood at $44,483, 186. The withdrawls for the day at New York amounted to $730,000. WEYLER PROCLAIMS. Moro Rigid Rules for tho Oppressed Cubans. Captain General Weyler issuod n series of proclamations Sunday night, in which ho still further defines his proposed policy toward tho insurgents uud their sympathizers. The first proclamation reads as follows; “Article 1. All inhabitants of the district of Saucti Spiritu and tho provinces of Puerto Principe and San tiago de Cuba will have to concentrate in places which are the headquarters -of it division, a brigade, a column or troop and will have to bo provided with documentary proof of identity within eight days of tho publication of this proclamation iu tho munici palities. ‘•'Article 2. To travel in tho oountry in tho radius covered by tho column in operatian it is absolutely indispon- sablo to have a pass from tho mayor, military commandants or chiefs of de tachments. “Article 3. All owners of commer cial establishments in tho country dis tricts will vacate thorn and tho captains of columns will talco such measures as the success of their operations dictates, regarding such places, which, while useless for the country’s wealth, servo the enemy ns hiding places iu the woods and in tho interior. "Article 4. All passes hitherto issued hereby become null and void." GLADSTONE FOR PARLIAMENT, At a nieoting of the Dooly County Confederate Veterans’ Association it was decided to locate the confederate soldiers’ monumont at Vienna, in tho center of tho park or public squaro. Subscriptions are rapidly coming iu, nud the monument will undoubtedly bo built. * * » Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, principal of Lucy Oobb institute, is confident of being able to rniso tho $1,000 fund for the eulargement and improvement of that colloge. She says that a good start has already boon made uud that the movement is sure of sucoeBS. Mr. Albert Guerry, of Atlanta, hns just finished a life siJfo portrait of Robort Tombs for tho stato. Tho por- tait will bo hung iu one of tho nalisof tho oapitol, the plaoo to he selected by Govornor Atkinson. Mr. Guerry will recoivo $1,000 for the portrait. Tho work was dono in throe weeks. The taking of testimony for Major Black iu tho Watson-Black oontost for a Boat in tho fifty-fourth congress was oouoluded at Sparta last Tuesday, so far as the contest concerns tho oounty of Hancock. Hon. John T. Wost, of Thomson, was present representing tho interests of Mr. Walson, while Major Black was represented by Judge Frank L. Little and Hon. Robert H. Lewis. Thousands upon thousands of peaoh troes have boon put out at Adairsville iu tho past four years, but this Henson has seen moro trees set out than auy other. This is a guarantee that tho town will be a live and industrious one, in a dull season to othor plnoes, for tho fruit and wheat will cause money to flow. Wo noed a crate fac tory to liaudlo tho crop; and a bank to koop tho monoy in. Will somebody establish them? . ; • * * Tho Wilkes Immigration Company has been organized with the following members: B. D. Irwin, O. B. Bar nett, J. M. Cullau, James A. Benson and G. C. Jones. This moans a good deal for the future- welfare of Wash ington and Wilkes county. The gon- tlernon who compose this company are somo of the most substantial, and en terprising citizens of Washington. Its purpose is to onoourngo‘in every way possible immigration to- -the county and tho salo of surplus land to immigrants. * * * Mr. Theodore Clark, of Graiid Rap-, ids, Mich., tho owner of land lot Noj 725, 12th diBtriot and first section, has had tho same laid off into two hundred and forty beautiful town lots,.and,has named it Clark’s flrst addition to Dah- lonega. Mr. Clark hns ordered Qlork of tho Superior Court, John Hi Moore, to make for him 240 certificates of tho abstract of title to tho property, and forward them to him in Grand Rap ids. It is Mr. Clark’s intention to disposo of these lots to his Michigan friends, who, when the proposed Dah- lonega railroad is finished, will orect olegant wintor homes. « * * .... Tho annual meeting of the South western railroad whb held at Maoou a few days ago. More stock w(is repre*-' sented than has been at any meeting- in years. There wore thirty-fiix thyp- saud shareholders prosout out. of' fifty- one thousand. Dr, John S. Baxter, of Macon,, presided, It. Tr AVrbton, of New York, declined re-election as pros; idont, and Vice-i’residen.t JohnS, Bax ter was elected ns president. The fol lowing wore elected directors; W,- G., Raoul, of Atlanta; W.

Ballew will be jcsentcficed ou October 24th, Tho penalty for the couut under which Ballew's conviction was sustained, is two years. A Vat liable Uotlc. Mr. W. II. If.iriisoTj. of Taliaferro oouuty, owub a onnteeu that onoe be longed beyond doubt to General An drew Jackson. He prizes it highly bocauso of tlio fact that “Old Hiok- ory” used it in tho war of 1812. He oaino into possession of it in tho fol lowing manuor: General Jackson gavo it to a Mrs. James Moore, who, before hor marriage, was a Miss Jackson, and probably a relative of General Jack son’s. Mr. Jumos. Moore and wife wore blessed with sovoral children, one of whom was named Jackson. The latter received tho canteen from his mother and in turn gavo it to one of his sons named Isaac .Taokson. Isaac Jackson Moore lias one daughter, whom Mr. W. H. Harrison married. Mr. Moore gavo tho cauteeu to Mr. Harrison about twenty years ago. The oivntoeu is of a peculiar pattern. It is of oarthouwaro aud holds seven- eights of a pint., It is about six inches high and about five inohos wide. The reservoir is porfeotly oiroular. A hole goes right through tho oonter of it, and through this hole tho strap that was used to carry it was passed. * • * Tho Soldier’s Home Case. Tho Soldiers’ Home at Atlanta, is still in litigation. About seven years ago tho home was built by the con federates of tho oounty. It was erect- ed as a homo for indigent ex-confed- erato vetoraqs, but no disabled soldier over slept a night or lived a day under its roof. It was erected at a cost of over $40,000 and paid for by the sol diers, the money having been raised by subscription, About a year ago tho trustees of the homo askod permission of the supe rior court to sell the home, as it was a burden for them to ke-’p up the insur ance policies on it while it was stand ing unoccupied and not paying a cent iu any way.'" When the trustees ap peared in oourt, stockholders of the Atlanta Land and Improvement Com pany' appeared and asked that the trustees .bo not allowed to sell the proporty. ,They claimed that they donated the land upon which it was built with tho understanding that a soldiers’, home ho built there and used for nothing oIho except a soldiers’ homo. Both sides employed attorneys to represent thorn, aud after a trial be fore Judge Lumpkin, he ordered a de cree for the sale of the homo. Tho decree was passed on the 17th day of lust Deoombor, and on the 13th day of last mouth tho attorney for the fund company entered a motion for a new '-trial, which motion will be heard tit d'ho spring term of the superior court.,. Nci matter what may be the result 6f - thA-hearing of tho motion for a new. trial, the matter of the sale of the Soldiqr’s Home will undoubtedly go to the supreme oourt, as either side will' carry it there if defeated in thB superior court. HOILKR9 BLOW UP. Five Mill Hands Killed and Many More Injured. Information has boen received that a biitfiery of six boilers in the'sawmill of ; tbu'Southern Pino Company of Geor gia, ut Offerman, u station eleven miles rant of Blackshoar blew up Wednesday hnuniug with frightful Iobs of life. - jThe mill was shut down for'break- (n/st when tho explosion occurred, otherwise tho fatality would have been much greater. Fivo negroes, mill haiujs, ure now dead and two others a fo expected to die. Some of the ljodies are terribly mutilated. One boiler was broken half in two, ,.ijno end lining hurled in one direction ,und its fellow in the opposite. Three Jjoilera were lifted out bodily and buried with great force, doing great ! ..damage to buildings and machinery. Two boilors remain iu position.

' The Herald, of Glasgow, Scotland, says it learns that Mr. Gladstone is greatly inclined to stand again for parliament at the first available op portunity, in order to support the Ar menian measures. Tho Herald adds | that Mr. Gladstone does not concoa 1 his conviction that both political par ties in Great Britain have betrayed Ar< monia. in Screven county, because it calls on all civil and military authorities., The- military officers say if they were to.at tempt to arrest tho man and uny ou’o was killed they would ho subject to trial and conviction for murder. They do not relish being called on, as it ap pears from tho proclamation, to do something which, under the luw, they might not be justified in doing. They have not made any open statement, but that they have made- criticisms and strong ones has just become ap parent. * * . * Ballew Is Guilty. The supremo court of tho United States has confirmed tho conviction of A. W. Bullow, of Borne, sentenced to two years iu tho penitentiary on ac count of pension frauds alleged and proven against him. That is, the su preme court confirmed the conviction damage. Discovered the North Pole. A dispatch from Irkutsk, Siberia, received at St. Petersburg, Rnssip.says that a Siberian trader named Kouoh- naroff, who is acting in the capacity of agent for Dr. Nansen, the arctic ex- plorer, has informed the prefect of Kolymsk that helms received informa tion that. Nansen hud reached the north pole, where lie found land and that he is now on his way hack. Sound Money Texans Meet. The single standard faction of the democracy of Texas met in oonferenoe at Galveston Saturday. The recent action of tho free coinage faction wm denounced as revolutionary and' the more radical wero for an immediate withdrawal, while the more conserva tive advocated making the fight for “sound money” inside of party linea.
