The Ladies of the Church Purchase the Godfrey Place. The ladies of the Presbyterian church who have been working for some time to aeeummulate a manse fund have at last succeeded in raising enough to justify them in purchasing a manse. Several houses have been examined with a view to purchasing, but they have finally decided on the Godfrey place and have closed a trade with Mr. Godfrey for the Transfer of his home place to the church for a manse, paying one thousand dol lars for the house and grounds. This is an ideal location for a manse, being just across the street from the church, and is a v neat and a comfortable cottage, with ample grounds for garden yard, etc. The ladies who have charge of the fund are to be congratulated on securing such a desirable place at a very moderate price.

POWDER Absolute!/ Pure BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1898. SCHLEY AT SAN JUAN Enthusiastic Reception on The New Orleans. BANKS WILL BE ESTABLISHED. Gen Brooke at Gov.-Gen. Macias’ Summer Residence Near The City. San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 6. —The United States transport Seneca, carrying Rear Admiral W. S. Schley and Brig.-Gen. W. W. Gordon of the Porto Rico military commission, arrived off the harbor last night, but did not enter until this morning. A boat immediately put off from the New Orleans to the Seneca and took Admiral Schley aboard. As he went over the steamer’s side her passengers, among whom he had be come exceedingly popular, gave three cheers and a “tiger.” One man in his enshusiasm yelled: “Hurrah for the next president.” Admiral Schley was given an en thusiastic reception on board the New Orleans. The Seneca brought also the postal commission, thirty nurses and six contract surgeons. F. Dumares, T. H. Luce and W. H. Lathrop, representing the Bos ton firm of D. E. Ford & Cos., which has been appointed the govern ment’s fiscal agent in Porto Rico, will establish banks at San Juan and Ponce. They believe the United States government will eventually retire the Porto Rican currency which the local banks are trying to maintain close to par at an arbitrary price. It is -v alued ap proximately at $1,000,000. Paymaster Arthur, who is on board, has $i,000,000 for the troops. SCHLEY GOES ASHORE. When the admiral’s pennant was raised on board the New Orleans the marines paraded and the band played. Shortly before noon the Spanish brigadier general, Valer iana, made an official visit to Ad miral Schley and was saluted with seven guns. During the afternoon Admiral Schley and Gen. Gordon came ashore and took up their quarters at the Hotel Ingleterra, where they will remain during the ses sions of the military commission. They walked from the quay to the hotel, attracting much atten tion. The Spanish soldiers and sailors who throng the city seemed especially curious to see the man who destroyed Cervera’s fleet. The only guard for the party consisted of three policemen, but even these were unnecessary, as there was no hostile demonstra tion whatever. About 4 o’clock Gen. Brooke arrived from his headquarters at Rio Piedras, and the three commis sioners, all of whom are ranked by Capt.-Gen. Macias, made a call of courtesy upon him. The United commissioners desire to dispatch their work as soon as possible, but they have no idea of the time it will require. Everything depends upon the at titude of the Spanish commission ers. All appears clear sailing to Gen. Brooke and his colleagues, but it is reported that the Spanish commissioners expect considerable compensation for the Spanish prop erty to be relinquished. Their in structions were received yesterday. THE CITY COURT- List of Jurors|Drawn for the Sep tember Term. The city court of Cartersville will meet next Monday morning with his honor, Judge J.

Y., Sept. 5. —An ap palling disaster occurred in this city shortly before 8 o’clock to night. Shortly before that time a trolley car of the Troy City Rail road company was struck by a night boat special of the Delaware and Hudson railroad at a crossing at the west end of the Hudson river bridge, which connects this city with Lansingburg, and its load of human freight was hurled into the air. Eighteen of the thirty-five passengers are dead and at least ten of the remainder will die. The cars entering the city from Lansingburg were crowded with passengers returning from a labor day picnic at Rensselaer park, a pleasure resort near Troy. Car No. 192, of the Troy City railroad was the victim of the disaster. It came over the bridge about 7:35 o’clock laden with a merry party of people fresh from the" enjoyment of the day. NARROW ESCAPE- Brakeman Falls Between Two Mov ing Cars Last Monday. Monday about noon, when the local freight on the W. & A. was at the depot here and some switch ing was being done, a brakeman named W. J. Turner, very narrow ly escaped a mangling and death, under the wheels. Two cars, one a coal car and the other a flat, were being moved, when a piece of rot ten tie in some *vay was thrown up by the wheels and finally lay across the rail, so as to throw the flat car off the track. The'brakeman stood on this car and the awful jar threw him from his position and head to the ground. He fell across one of the tracks and was terribly stunned by the fall and had one arm dislocated. Luckily the cor ner of the derailed flat ran against the rock wall at the side of the track and stopped the movement with a sudden bump, otherwise, the wheels of the car would have passed over his body. The acci dent was witnessed from a distance by a number of persons who at first thought the man was killed. SANTIAGO’S HEALTH. Gen. Wood Thinks He Can Ward Off September Epidemic. Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 6. —Maj. Thrift and Maj. Folger, who re cently recovered from mild attacks of yellow fever, sailed on the Vigil ancia, as did also Dr. Eugene Wasden, of the marine hospital service. Dr. Wasden was here to test the Sanarelli serum on yellow fever cases, but no changes to make experiments, and the yellow fever cases developed here are not pro nounced enough. The death rate in the city has greatly decreased. There is no yellow fever in Santiago and very little typhoid fever. Gen. Wood believes he will be able to ward off the usual Septem ber epidemic. Three thousand Spanish prison ers have been shipped from Guan tanamo this week. Mr- G. M- Orr. Acworth Post. The trustees of the Euharlee In stitute have elected Mr. G.

In other words we are in about the condition Atlanta is in, the best that we can say of us all is, that we are on mercy’s side of eternity, and many can say like the old brother, when he said ‘By the graoe of God lam what I am, and I thank God I animer than I am.’ We cordially invite the pastors and people from all regions around to come to our meetings.

Neel, of this city, who succeeded in adducing evidence to set up all the plaintiff's allegations and seeing they were defeated, the defendants, on the ad vice of friends, consented to a de cree of $3,750, and half the cost.

PLATT OUT FOR ROOSEVELT New York Leader Favors the Col onel for Governor, New York, Sept. 4*—“l have de cided to favor the nomination of Col Roosevelt for Governor,” said Senator Thomas C. Platt this morn ing to a high state official. “I know he will be nominated at the conven tion, to be held in Saratoga Sept. 27, I believe, by acclamation. I am also convinced that he will be elect ed. “This decision has been reached by me after a careful study of the situation throughout the state, con versations with delegates and lead ers, and with many persons capable of giving expression of public senti ment in their various localities. From all parts of the state comes a demand for Roosevelt and none for Black. Up to this time I have kept faith with the Governor in my statement that I did not favor any one, and would not until I had studied the situation with great care. That has been done and lam convenced that the interests of the public and of the republican party will be best served by the nomina tion of Roosevelt,” Card from Mr- Griffin. To the people of Bartow County: Having been solicited by a number of my friends to come out as an in dependent candidate for sheriff, and having heard of so much dissatis faction in regard to the so-called democratic primary, also feeling that the will of the people was de feated by unheard of acts and methods that was practised at this (Cartersville) box by removing the managers, three tried and true democrats by placing others in; something I never before heard of in the history of democracy. But after having taken all things into consideration I think it best not to make the race at this time. Thanking the people for their hearty support in the so-called dem ocratic primary on June 6th, and also thanking those who solicited me to continue the race I remain as ever. Truly yours, It. E.
