COURANT- AMERICAN. S-rcry T3a.-ia.r3S.svyr. C A 111 I USVII.I.I . (iKORCIA. Official Orpn of Bartui Coostj. & ; *-■ ■ THURSDAY, APRIL u, lkSl B oards of health in the cities arc now turning their attention to sanitary mat ters and the Florida snap bean. The Constitution makes the definite statement that President Cleveland wiJ visit Atlanta during the Piedmont Ex position in October. Lands in the suburbs of Thomasville are selling at SSOO per acre. This shows that the mineral regions of the south are not alouo in booming. The free pass is gone, and if the new railroad law doesn’t prove a dead failure if will not be the fault of the newspaper meu. They are voting it such every day. Secretary Lamar is to deliver the oration at the unveiling of the statue of Calhoun, in Charleston, on the 2fith iust. The address is to be a philosophic discourse on American politics. The result of the prohibition move ment iu Tennessee is anxiously watched for by the people of the whole couutry. It is claimed by somo of the very best papers of the state that prohibition will prevail. The long drouth in southeast°rn Texas Continues unbrokon, and in consequence there is much suffering. Cattle are perishing by hundreds, and the people in many places are without the neces saries of life. Several of the most fer tile counties are now almost barren. Texas has 5,200 liquor dealers, and they are preparing to fight prohibition with as much vigor as a united effort will permit. They have an organ called the Auti-Prohibitionist. The prohibi tionist are confident of success, however, and claim that Texas will take rank as a prohibition state. It is uow generally coLoeded that the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners must be allowed great discretionary lati tude in construing the bill under which they act. especially the 4th section, or the 1 mg and short haul clause, as it is culled. It will be ruinous to enforce this section literally. The ancient old town of St. Augustine, Fla., was visited by fire the fiend on Wednesday destroying many of her marks of antiquity, among them the old cathedral. The aggregate loss amounts to about $250,000, with little insurance. Tlioßt. Augustine Hotel was completely burned, loss $150,000: no insurance. The inter-state commission are loud in their condemnation of the lethargy of the fool-killer that didn’t get in liis work during the last session of congress. The commission have gotten tired of their job of running such a gigantic thing as the railroad system of the United States, and will most likely come to the conclu sion that it can’t be did. Ex-Governor Palmer, of Illinois, is a warm admirer of President Cleveland. He says: “He comoi straight to the point at once. There is no evasion, no nonsense about him. He has courage, brains and honesty. No oue could talk to him teu minutes without being im pressed with that fact. lam the more glad to any this became 1 was not a Cleveland man originally.” John T. Raymond, the eminent com edian, died at Evansville, Indiana, on Saturday. He had gone there to till an engagement on Friday night, but was suddenly taken ill. His death was caused by heart disease, complicated with congestion of the bowels. John T. Raymond was perhaps the greatest comedian of the age, and many are the thousands who have enjoyed his in imitable acting. General Bragg, of the inter state commission, in an interview says, in re lation to the suspension of the long and short haul clause of the inter-state com merce aet: “Our suspension of this clause pending a decision does not com mit us in anyway, and in the order we reserve the right to revoke it at any time. If we should come to a decision before the uiuety days, we can revoke the order. There is no question as to our authority to make the order.” Mr. orrisou said: “We investigated snf iiciently to satisfy us, and we are the judges under the law.” It will be well wlieu our people learn that; there are many points that afford magnificent opportunities for a prolitable investment of capital, aad for the es tablishment of enterprises. They should further learn that capital is going where the greatest inducements are offered, and the place that is most wideawuke and liberal in offering these inducements is the place that will get the capital, and in couaequeuce will become growing, prosperous cities. The town that is i'lib eral and unenterprising, and sits quietly, expecting capital to seek out her ad vantages and force itself upon her, is the town that will get left, and will droop and wither like vegetation without raiu or sunshine. The Dalton Argus makes this im" portant suggestion; “The rumor that t e Baltimore and Ohio railroad is com ing south fron Clifton Forge, Ya., by the way of 1 hiltou and Cartersville may seem strange to some people, ami the fact that prominent officials of the Georgia Central were with the Garrett crowd in Alabama may not have excited particular attention; but suppose these combinations should get the Western and Atlantic, when it is again leased, wou’d it not make things look quite plaiu? With the Baltimore and Ohio at Dalton, Chattanooga, Borne, Birmingham and Atlanta would be at arm’s length, and the Bouth Atlautic and Gulf coast in easy reach. The Baltimore and Ohio has au eye on the old reliable.” ( AN ARMY OF THIEVES . Perhaps the largest band of organized thieves that ever existed iu this country was suddenly run to earth last Monday, on the Panhandle railroad iu Pcnnsvl vania. For three years past this system of railroads lias been missing articles of merchandise from tlie freight trains on their line between Pittsburg and Colum bus. These robberies grew iu frequency and amount, until it is estimated that a half millou dollars worth of goods had been taken from cars. After months of quiet work, detectives have just suc ceeded iu fixing the crime on employes of the road. The stealing, it was dis covered, was done by the freight crews, and it is stated that out of 80 of those on the road at oue time 75 were crook ed. Hundreds of meu were involved and many arrests have been made. There seemed to be a systematic organ ic itiou composed of the conductors and train hands on the freight trains, but in no instance has it been discovered that the engineers and firemen were connect ed with tiro robberies. The following is an account < f hew some of the thefts ware carried on, and the spirit of tlie employes committing them, as told by a detective: “Iu oue case just lately, the pursuit was so hot that twenty-five boxes of fine cigars were hastily ourned in a ca boose stove. Iu another case a trip re sulted iu two bolts of a fine silK being thrown into the Monongahela river while crossing the Pun-handle bridge. In an other instance a crew broke open a car, and found it full of orauges. Oue of tire meu was enraged bv finding uothiug of the stealable kind, that he thrust an iron har into an organ and ruined it. We had evidence that a freight conduc tor broke into a car, opened a piano, and sat and played it ail nignt, stopping at midnight to eat liis supper off of the polished top. The same fellow was thumping a piano iu a dive last night when captured. Another brakemau, who lives on Wylie avenue, stole a bolt of cloth, had a suit made for himself, and gave the cloth for two other suits to two of his friends. Another man has become an expert on a stoleu accorleon. In all my experience of twenty-nine years, I never saw such a taste for mis cellaneous stealing. Everything except a cofiin and a blacksmith’s anvil has been stolen and made use of. Some of our detectives assured me this morning that not a man was arrested but had from half-a-dozen to a dozen pairs of clean socks of the finest quality and a large assortment of shirts of all kinds.” The attention of Maj. Barnes is called to the fact that his predecessor, Mr. Stephens, had set atloat a lot of curious coins. A writer in the Globe-Democrat says: “The Committe on Coinage, Weights and Measures, which has the subject in charge, and looks after designs for improving the coinage in respect to size, denomination or appearance, fre quently instructs the Superintendent of the Mint to execute new patterns or ex perimental pieces, for inspection, and if they are deemed worthy of adoption then the committee frames and introduces the necessary bill in Congress. Under this arrangement a series of coins was devised in 1879,' known as the Stella, having the value of $4, United States standard. The design was approved by the committee and a bill introduced an ticipating anew metric coin for inter national use. The coin was the size ot a nickel, representing‘Liberty head’ turned to the left on the obverse, with ‘1879’ below, thirteen stars, with figures and letters interspersed, denoting the pro duction of gold, alloy, etc.; on the ieverse above,‘United States of America,’ within it E Pluribus Unum,’ with a large five rayed star, ‘Stella,’ in the centre, and below, ‘One Stella, 400 cents,’ and ‘Deo cst Gloria,’ and still below, ‘Four Dol.’ This was struck in proof. The Stella is one of the set designated metric goloid, the other being the metric dollar and the goloid metric dollar. Twenty sets only were struck early iu 1879, to be submitted by the committee, a little later 100 sets were struck, and still later 300 sets were ordered coined. These were officially offered to members of Congress and per sonal and political friends on payment of their intrinsit value. The 400 sets were coined in 1880, bearing the date 1879, and of these about 250 found their 'way into miscellaneous hands, and the remaining 150 are believed to be still in the vaults. Ot the origiual twenty sets, a few were sold as high as SIOO, aucl the prices of those subsequently coined ranged down from SSO to $12.50, Separately, the Stella now sells for about $5, and the set of three pieces at $6.5G to $7.50. The bill for their issue, however, failed to become a law.” EASTER. Who could imagine a brighter or more inspiring day than last Easter—this day that should be so hallowed to all the world, with all its glorious memories and sweet suggestions of new life and fuller hope. It is a pleasant thing to notice how rapidly the observance of this day is growing among all religious denomi nations of this country. It is a glorious theme. It is the beginning of the sea son when the fce-locked streams break into sudden life, and the music of rip pling waters echo to the song of mating birds, you hear the cheery peeping of the little chick, and even the merry lark sings its pio-creative song more melancholy than usual. The hyacinth and crocus are out, the lilac is budding, and nil vegetation is pregnant with the water of life. All is growth, rejuvena tion, resurrection. And lo! amid the music of the birds, the murmur of the murmuring waters, aud the fragrance of the opening flow ers, comes the grand old song: “I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord ; he that believeth in Me, though ho were dead, yet shall be live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” North (Georgia Holiuesu Convention.

The law-abiding people of Milletlge villc, becoming tired of the frequent vio lations of the prohibition law, held a pub lic meeting last week, and appointed com mittees to watch out for violators, and see that they were stoped in their nefa rious business. The meetings will be held every fortnight until prohibition prohibits, so far a9 Milledgeville is con cerned. The law is mighty but more so when it is upheld by a good and orderly citizenship. The Georgia press will assemble at Valdosta the 11th of next month. Val dosta is the home of happy Charlie Pendle ton and that is sufficient for the good time in store for the boys o* the fourth estate. A trip to Savannah and Tybee island and a great and good collation at the Ocean House are down on the programme. The Coc rant-American will be there D. V. The railroad commission (inter-state) will he in Atlanta for a day or so very soon. Their ear is badly wanted just now by various country towns in regard to the taking away from them the bene fits, if there are any, of the new law. If it is to be a law for the good of the gen eral people let the little fishes have their share, for it is upon these that tk larger towns have long flourished. A young negro servant in the employ of Mr. Sam. Griffin, iu Terrell county, robbed the house of her employer of some clothing and then burnt the house up. Everybody interested in Georgia’s fam ous well in Taliaferro county will be glad to learn that arrangements have been perfected for a seveuty-five room hotel there and that the building will be ready for occupancy ou May Ist. Messrs. F. H and F. B. Scofield, the well known hotel men, backed by a flue syndicate of capi talists, have the enterprise in charge. That the hotel will he first-class in every respect is guaranteed in the mere men tion of that fact, and it seems assured now that Georgia will soon have added to her fine list of summer resorts another which possesses features new and attrac tive. The hotel will stand upon s. ridge 800 feet above the sea level and 200 above the railroad station. Hilsman, the station, is on the Barnett branch of the Georgia road in a beautiful, hidy country, far up above the malarial sections. In the neighborhood are splendid springs, one ol them alum, and on all sides is plenty to attract and amuse. If the testimony of some of Georgia's best citizens, and nu merous other persons who have been re stored to good health thereby, is conclu sive, it is established, that for certain dis eases the electric well is a specific.—Ma con Telegraph. Bill Weeks, a colored lad attended the pumping engine of the water tank on the E. T. V., & Ga. R. R., near Dalton. The water tank took lire and fell ou the engine, causing it to explode, killing Bill instantly. The new policemen are having a hard time of it in Atlanta, simply because they are prohibitionists and were appointed by prohibition commissioners, who were anxious that prohibition should prevail in Atlanta, and that the law be given a fair trial. An exceedingly warm time is being tendered them, and the blind tigers are being ably assisted by different newspaper reporters, The new members are made the butt of nearly every joke that appears in the papers while the blind tiger keepers are laughing iu their sleeves and raking iu the ducats. The people are not fooled, however, and are determined to let the law have a fair chance, even if lliey have to call in green, instead of wliiskey-guggling, policemen. A western man let one ot his hogs swallow two hundred dollars in green backs, and the Treasury allowed him forty for what he recovered of it. Many a man in this section, lack a-day!kas put his money into bacon without getting anything back.— Macon Telegraph. An Antitreating society has been formed in Macon, and membership card* are now being distributed for signatures. The oath, which by the way was framed by the lamented Sam P. Jamison, is printed on the back of the card: “I, Richard Roe, solemnly swear that I will not drink with or ask any one to drink in any public place, or elsewhere, any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider, nor will I engage in any game of chance in any public place, or elsewhere, for liquor in any of its forms, either spirit uous or malt, as a forfeit.” ON TO GAINESVILLE. All the Arrangement* for Fart of the Ex tension Completed, The Rome Courier, of the 12th iust., says: “We are reliably informed that all arrangements for the building of a road from this city to a point on the W. k A. railroad have been completed. The new railroad will be only a part of the exten sion of the Rome aud Decatur from this city to Gaiue3ville. This road will start from Priutup City aud will strike the W. k A. railroad at Hall’s Mills, or at a point very near thereby. A corps of engineers will be put on the line im mediately, and the work will be rapidly pushe.l forward, that a connection with the W. A A. road may be had as soon as the road from Attaila to this city is finished. The Romo and Decatur people are working hard and earnestly in the building of their lines as rapidly as pos sible. The road from Attaila to Gadsden will be finished in a few days, and the grading from the latter city towards Rome will be commenced. Already twenty miles from this city, with the exception of a few' patches here and there, have been graded, and as soon aB the bridge across the Oostauaula is fin ished, track laying will be recom menced.” Asa Spring Medicine TAKE l/IDN E Y •^WORT A SURE REMEDY Tested and Proved by Years of t'N in all parts of the Coantry. who have been radical ly cured of dangerous diseases gladly tes tify of Its merit.

Dear /Aleck:— Tes, it is true, I sup pose, that I have the mumps. But lam not ashamed of it. Why should Ibe V Some people have had worse things than the mumps and still kept a pretty good name. If you could see me, you, too, would think I had the mumps. My face used to be long. It is now what might be called a round, broad lace. Not a jolly, smiling face; for this is one time in life when smiles bring tears. I used to read in the goodie-goodie Sunday school books that we ought always to “have a smiling face.” The man who wrote that never had the mumps. He wouldn’t have given such cruel advice if he ever experienced a mump smile. I thought I couldn’t have the mumps; I had often been exposed to it—had even slept with it—and never took it. There aie other reasons not necessary to be mentioned here, why I thought I was mump-proof. Delusive thought! It slipped up on me like my friend Norris slips up on a town lot,and caught me un av. ares. Deceitful friends liad told me that the mumps was a small thing. How some people can lie! I shall never forgive Ab Baker. I would have been more wary of the mumps, but Ab told me that I couldn't catch the mumps, lie said he knew; and I supposed, if anybody knew, he ought, judging from his record up to date. But I guess he has found out from my sad ex perience that there is nc t ing in his thcoiy. I notice that he hastens up his speed as he gets in front of my house. Oue might think the mumps would come out and take him right there. A nice young married man from King ston came in to see me to-day on busiuess. I was eating —or rather mumming—my dinner, (people with mumps never eat); so aunt Dolly asked him in the parlor, and after I had gone through the travail of a few minor motions of my jaws over the inevitable mush, he came in my room and I began to apologise for keeping him wait ing, assuring him that the length of time a man with the mumps wrestled with his mush was no sign of the quantity he swal lowed. lie was sitting in a big rocking chair, leaning back apparently as happy and hopeful as any young husband 1 ever saw, but wh'-n the word “mumps ’ fell on his ear, he jumped to his feet so quick that I looked to see if there was a pin in the seat of the chair. His face blanched and I thought he would taint. “Mumps!” he yelled, “mumps!” “Yes,” said I, “haven’t you had it?,’ But before I got the words out of my mouth, his hand was on the door knob. He turned and poked his head tlir >ugh the crack and shouted “No,” and walked off faster than he came. What do you reckon made him so afraid of tlie mumps? It is a strange perversity of the fitness of things that mumps hits the wrong man so often. Why should I have the mumps? Why can’t somebody have the pesky things who ought to have them, and who wants them? Now there are Will Howard and Mon roe Nell, who left their large and growing l'amilies and came to see me Sunday after noon. And of all the questions I ever heard, they asked them about the mumps. Why on earth are they so anxious to take the mumps? Y'ou ought to know, Aleck, for you are an editor—and I don’t be ieve, like most people, that editors don’t know nothing. 1 am lying on my back, because the doctor told me to, tho’ mo3t people seem to think that members of my profession lie on their feet; but that is nothing to the editors, Aleck, for they lie on every body. I am resigned to mumps, mush and misery. I didn’t even get mad when one came into my room eating a big, sour pickle. I was even so meek that I de clined, with tears in my eyes, to help eat it. My teeth are all here, but as uselsss to me as the town council is to Cartersville. My jaws are as idle as a young town nig ger, and do me about as little good as local preachers generally do the Metho dist church. And yet, Aleck, I am not entirely wretched. It is hope that inspires me. I shall get well some day. I shall use my teeth and jaws on all sorts of eatable s with an extravagance born only of long self denial. And, sweetest thought of all, I shall be able some day to stand up be fore some jaw-swelled mumpist, laugh at hi* misery, and gloat over his efforts to chew mush. Jno. W.Aktn. Did Henry Steal the Horie? Our people generally are familiar with the serious charges made against Henry Wright, that of stealing the horse of Col. Sharpe, of Walesca. The affair has created some discussion, as Henry has for eome time been preaching over the country. He is not a regular ordained preacher as has been stated, and is going it on his own hook. The horse was missed about the same time Henry was in the locality of Col. Sharpe's aud everything points to his complicity in its disappearance. Henry sold the horse, as he says, to a Mr Hall, near Plainville, and says that it was given him by S. L. Maguire, who claimed to be a preacher. He ten dollars for his trouble, which he sent to hi3 wife, at this place. Monday Mr. Timmons, pastor of the Methodist church, here, received the fol lowing note, bearing the postmark, “Parksville, Tenn aud written in the same hand as was Henry’s receipt given him by Maguire: Parksville, Tenn , April 5, 1837. To the Pastor of the M. E. Church, Car termlle, Ga.: Dear Brother —The charges which they have against the Rev. Wright, the evangelist preacher, are not true. As he did me a favor, and I believe him to be a man of God, I write this to you. Read this to all of his friends, and oblige, Yours sincerely, S. L. Maguire. Henry is in Chattanooga, we learn, at work and his continued absence causes many to think that he had some connec tion with the matter. It is hoped that the right man will be caught and justice ba meted out to him. No effort, so far as we can learn, has been made to overhaul Henry, as he has been near Cartersville, hiding out. He admits selling the horse lor Maguire, but says he did not steal it. llow Maguire came into possession of the animal probably atrial will develop. He should be overhauled aud made to ex plain.

For twelve or fourteen years I have been a great sufferer from a terrible form of Hood poison which ran into the sec ondary and finally it was pronounced ter tiary form. My head, face anil shoul ders became almost a mass of corruption and finally the disease commenced eating my skull hones. I became so horribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to let people see me I used large quantities of most noted blood medicines and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but my condition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones became the scat of excruciating aches and pains ; my nights were passed in misery; I was reduced in Hesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly de ranged. and life became a burden to me 1 chanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B and sent one dollar to W. C. Birclimore & Cos . merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me, It was used with decided benefit and when eight or ten bottles had been used I was pronounced sound and well Hundreds of scars can be seen on me, looking like a inan who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this country, and for the benefit of others who may he similarly affect 1, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public,and to extend my heart felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I have been well over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. Kobf.rt Ward.
