Frank Siddall, the Philadelphia soap
maker says: “I have confined my adver
tising entirely to newspapers. The man
who does not read a newspaper does not
use soap.”
The all cotton farmers of the south
will be glad to le trn that the strike at the
Chicago pork picking establishments is at
an end, and the troops have been called
away.
Atlanta has been sold out by Paul
Boynton, the celebrated swimmer, mi i
for the time being the groans ol t ho
swindled crowds who went to st e bis
alleged show in the nitp’dy Cha taboo- j
elite have drowned out the wails of the j
anti-prohibitionists.
Jusr now the average country edit;*
is bowing fits thanks to the numerous
subscribers who are paying up all
arrearages and in advance. We can
hardly pick up a paper without noticing
a line or two to that effect. This might
be called one of the healthiest signs of
the season.
A new obstacle besets Miss Liberty
in her proposed job of enlightening the
world. It is now estimated that it will
take $25,000 a year for the enlightening,
that is to keep her torch supplied with
electiic light. She hasn’t got the money
and her Uncle Sam refuses to come to
time.
Last Thursday nineteen postoflices
were ordered discontinued by the post
master-general, just because there were
no candidates for the postmasterships.
Democrats have long ago ceased a J king
anything at the hands of the present
administration, feeling certain that their
efforts are of no avail.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland finds
it necessary to publish a card announcing
her irrevocable severance from the Chi
cago Literary Life, which occurred over a
month ago, and which the publishers do
not admit. Now let her brother Grover
write a letter and let the democrats of
the country know about the locality
where he stands, and state why the ras
cals have not been routed before now.
At last the Augusta mill strike has
been ended, and all the old operatives
have gone to work, after several months
idleness. Thote who furnished houses’
for Knights of Labor, after their expu|- t
sion from qunners or tne iactories, have
been notified that it is doubtful whether
they are to be paid any rent. Augusta
i3 now full of working operatives and a
lot of landlords who are as mad as
hornets.
The prison congress lately assembled
in Atlanta has been very busy devising
means to make the prisoner’s and con
vict’s life one of ease and comfort. There
are thousands of honest, poorly paid
workmen in the land whose mouths are
now watering to get a chance to break
into the pen without committing a grave
wrong. The inducements held out are
enough to make them wish for a change
from a life of abject poverty to one of
ease and comfort.
Gov. John B. Gordon has retailed
Major J. W. Warren and Captain W. 11.
Harrison in the Executive Department,
an act which will give entire satisfaction
to the public. Gov. Gordon has appoint
ed as his private secretary Judge James
T. Nisbet, of Macon, the eldest son of
Judge E. A. Nisbet. Judge Nisbet is a
lawyer of eminence, and high social
standing. Owing to failing eye sight
Adjutant General Stephens will return to
his home in Wilkes county. Captain
John Mclntosh Kell is being urged for
the position of Adjutant General.
An obnoxious judge has been made to
vamoose from Brazoria county, Texas.
He had been judge a long time and
becoming so objectionable he was pre
vailed upon to keep out the race just
ended. He kept out until a night or so
before the election, when he secretly
scattered tickets among the colored pop
ulation and was elected. The white
people became indignant and made it
warm for the fellow, who fied to Hous
ton to save his life. He sftys he will
return, however, but it is supposed that
Judge Lynch will succeed him in the
event he does so.
The remains of Rev. Father Ryan,
late of St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic
church, were reinterred in Chattanooga
last week in the new Catholic burying
ground. Father Ryan died there in
1878 of yellow fever, contracted while
relieving the sick and burying the dead.
The relief committee of the city, largely
made up of Protestants, attended the
ceremonies in a body. High pontifical
mass was solemized by Bishop Rade
macher. The ceremonies were the most
beautiful and interesting ever witnessed
in Chattanooga. There was a large gen
eral attendance.
It is stated that three rich men are
about to establish a monster cotton plan
tation on the Mississippi. The men are
C. P. Huntington, of New Y T ork; R. S.
Wilson, President of the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas railroad, and Leland
Stanford, of California. The road of
which Mr. Wilson is president, owned
760,000 acres of rich bottom land in the
valley along the line, more than two
thirds of which have been disposed of.
The idea is to turn 100,000 acres of the
best land into a plantation, to be run on
the most approved plan. The land will
produce a bale and a half of cotton per
acre when well managed, which would
make 150,000 bales, worth over $7,000,-
000.
WIDOWS OF THE HAYMARSET RIOT.
Tne Wives anti Cbllilren of tlie Policemen
Killed by the Chicago Anarchists.
From the Chicago Mail ]
A rumor has gained currency that the
families of some of the officers who lost
their lives in the late ILiymarket riot
were in destitute circumstances. The
muter has been investigated by a Mail
reporter, who found a happy denial of
the rumor. In each particular case the
reporter found the family in a oomforla-
PA though not in an affluent condition.
How the families are Turing and what
has been done with the money that was
given them was, however, developed
during the iuquiry.
The reporter found Mrs. Thomas F
vin and her three little children —the
oldest one onlj’ 4 year? of age—pleasantly
situated in a flat at 504 North Ashland
Avenue. They occupy five rooms.
Everything about the rooms was tidy,
an 1 the ehil iron were playing. A
sister of Mrs. Flavin was living with
her. Mrs. Flavin received, all io!d,
about $4,500 f:o:n the relief fund and
from the Policemen's ilrm v lent Asso
ciation. Of fltis .am uit she has about
$ 5,500 still at he: eoimn uni, which it is
her intention, as soon a- 1 possible, to in
vest in some property. It is possible,
too, that the police association will build
a large fiat, using p.pt of her money,
Mrs. Flavin haviug the use of certain
rooms and reining out the others. The
rental is to be used in paying the interest
on the money used in putting up the
building.
Mrs. John G. Barrett is living with
her father and mother in the rear of 99
West Erie street. She received altogeth
er about $3,700 after the death of her
husband. She has not decided yet what
investment to make with her money.
The orphan child of Matthias Degan is
Hying with its giand parents at 146 Max
well street. It is happy, it says, save
when it thinks of “papa.” It received,
all told, $1,934 on account of its father’s
death. The aged father and mother were
also somewhat dependent upon their son
Matthias, and were accordingly given
some little money 7. A younger brother
of Matthias has since been placed upon
the police force.
The widow and two children of Thos.
Redden are fating well. They occupy
the second floor of a two-story frame
building. Mrs. Redden received about
$4,300 from the relief fund and the Po
licemen’s Benevolent Association. She
also received $2,000 from the Order of
United Workmen, of which her husband
was a member. She has made no invest
ment of her money yet.
Mrs. Nels Hansen and her six little
children, the oldest but ten years old,
was formerly living at 28 Fowler street,
but is now living near the corner of Ash
land Avenue and Ohio street. She re
ceived about $6,000 from the police and
relief funds. In addition to this she
received $2,000 from the Knights of
Honor, as her husband was a member of
that order at the time of his death. Mrs.
Hansen has bought a lot on the north
east corner of Ashland Avenue and Ohio
street, and it is her intention to erect a
large upon it. The Knights of
Honor are furnishing most of the money
for tlie enterprise, and will own the
building. Most ot the house*will be
ren tctl oat, and Ml S IT lII&DH W ill DiIVG H
home in it.
In addition to the various sums, that,
as stated, have been given to the be
reaved families of the dead offi
cers, it is possible—in fact, probable—
there is another fund that will be at their
disposal. It is the one known as the
Policeman’s and Fireman’s Benefit Fund.
It is the assessment as a tax, as provided
by the statue, upon all foreign life and
fire insurance companies. This assess
ment was to be for tlie benefit oi families
of deceased policemen and firemen. The
statue has long since been ignored, hut
an effort is being made to enforce ihe
law and make the insurance companies
pay their back assessments. The case i*
now pending in the higher courts. If
the statue can be held valid each fam ly
will receive further assistance. So the
families of the dead officers do not fare
so ill has been reported, though, of
course, their money is being slowly eaten
up. Will they ever come to want? This
is a possibility, and it is the source of
great anxiety to the bereaved widows.

What True Merit Will Do.
The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German
Syrup within a few years, has as ton it lied the
world. It is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effect
ual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung
troubles. It acts on an entirely different princi
ple from the usual prescriptions given by Physi
cians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave
the disease still in the system, but on the con
trary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the
parts affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when the diseases make their appearance,
will save doctor’s bills and a long spell of se
rious illness. A trial will convince you of these
facts. It is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price 75 cts„ large
bottles.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
A YOUNG GIRL. BETRAYED BY HER
LOVER, FOLLOWS HIM TO
DALTON,
Where, by False Promises, He Decoys
, Her to Death—A Lynching In
Prospect,
The foul murder of the young wo
rn in in Whi tidd county, a few miles
from Dalton, which was publishedin
last week’s Cour ant has thrown that sec
tion into the wildest excitement. Two
men passing through the woods had oc
casion to cross Mill creek, and saw the
dead body of a woman lying in the
creek. When it was removed, to their
horror, they found two ugly holes in her
skull from which the brains w re oozing.
The woman's body was clad in an old
wrapper tied on with twin**, and her feet
were bare. The chesnut-bmwn hair of
the murdered girl was in disheveled locks
over her shoulders. A great mystery
surrounded the affair for a while, as no
one could identify the girl and she had
never been seen in that sretion. About
the time it had been decided to bury her
body, Robert bpringtield, liveryman,
made a startling discovery. He had
started out driving in a buggy when, to
his hot-ior, he found one side of the seat
covered wit it freh clots of blood and
h&ir. He remembered having hired the
buggy the night previous to ayoungman
named Charles Patton. The suspicion
dawmed on his mind, quick as thought,
that he had obtained a clew to the horri
ble murder, and he notified the officers.
They went to Patton’s room during his
absence, and found a valise tilled with
woman’s clothing, covered with blood.
Within ten minutes Patton was arrested,
and a little later, he and his chum, Will
Hallman, were in jail, charged with tlie
awful murder. The web of evidence be
gan to draw closer and closer around the
men as the mystery unraveled, and an
angry crowd gathered in the streets. The
two men begged Sheriff' Poarch n >t to
allow them to be lynched, protesting that
they were innocent of the crime. Patton
came to Dalton recenilj r from Indiana,
and being a young man ot good address
soon secured employment. The girl
followed Patton to Dalton, hoping that
she might induce him to carry out his
promise and many her. When she met
him in Dalton he professed the greatest
love for the girl, and took her out riding
in the buggy on which was found the
blood. When they reached a secluded
spot. Patton took a hatchet and deliber
ately split her head open. The murderer
then stripped his victim, placed the old
wrapper on her body and threw it into
the creek. The name of the murdered
girl is Matilda Gudger, and was said to
be very pretty.
The prisoners have been carried to
Calhoun’s new jail for safe keeping,
threats of lynching being freely made in
Dalton. The town i3 fearfully excited
and “the Murray county regulators”
will probably take a hand in the dread
ful affair.
CARLISLE DISGRUNTLED.
Talk of His Leaving Kentucky to Make
His Home in Kansas.
A close friend of Mr. and Mrs. Car
lisle told the Tunes-Star, of Cincinnati,
that the Speaker and his wife had bid
adieu to Kentucky forever as a place of
residence.
“And you may say further,” said the
gSntleman, “that upon their return from
Kansas they will remain a short time ihe
guests of Mr. Mrs. P’rank Helm, ot Cov
ington, previous to going to Washing
ton. may also say that that will lie
tlie end of their residence in Kentucky,
and thereafter their home will be with
their two sons in Wiehita, Kansas. Do
you know that Mrs. Carlisle feels much
more keenly the manner in which Kenton
and Campbell counties treated her hus
band at the late election than her hus
band, and she gave expression to these
feelings in public on more than one occa
sion since the election? Ou Thursday
last she was driven to the post-office in
Newport, and Colonel Spence, w r hom
her husband indorsed for postmaster,
was reproached in not very mild terms
for leaving Newport on the day of elec
tion and going with others for a hunt.”
Not only did Colonel Spence, who
owes ills office to Speaker Carlisle, go
hunting on election day, but there was
another hunting party made up of a
number of his oldest friends. Not one
of them voted or tried to influence any
one’s vote.
There was a number of Covington
gentlemen who did the same thing, and
they apparently did it intentionally.
Later on the names will be given, but
it is known that Speaker and Mrs.
Carlisle, who is furious over the matter,
will never forgive nor recognize them
again.
It must be remembered that now the
Carlisles have no home in Kentucky.
They have sold their house in Covington;
their sons have moved to Kansas and it
would be merely a nominal matter for
the Speaker to forever shake the dust ot
the dark and bloody ground from oft'his
feet, as he has practically done it al
ready.
The majority for Mr. Carlisle, as
shown by the official returns on file in
the office of the Secretary of is

GOVERNOR GORDON.
lie Take* Occasion to Say Some Golden
Words.
In his inaugural address, which, by
the way, is a very fine paper, and is only
omitted from these columns for want of
space, General Gordon speaks thusly ;
“Yieldiug to lha Federal Government
the most loyal devotion; earnestly sup
porting it in all its constitutional vigor
as the “sheet anchor” of peace and
safety, let Georgians resolve that this
state at least shall be prepared for what
ever the future may have in store for it.
Let the broadest and most practical
education of her children be an object of
universal concern. Let her rich mental
capabilities, her varied mineral and
manufacturing resources and all her
transportation facilities be assiduously
developed. Let her agriculture, which
is the foundation of her prosperity and
upon which depends her progress, in
every direction be an object of peculiar
and absorbing interest and be encouraged
and promoted by every legitimate sup
port. Let her high credit be sustained
at its present honorable and enviable
standard. Let the most capable of her
sons realize that in the service of their
state, in making her laws, shaping her
policies, and advancing her material
interests, are great honors and fertile
fields for usefulness. Let the wise of her
Christian charities; the reformation of
her prisons and the still higher elevation
of public morals enhance the just pride
and argument the self-respect of her
people and add new glories to the already
splendid history of our beloved state.”

A TERRIBLE SLAVERY.
The Abuses Practised Upon Laborers In
Massachusetts Worse Than Negro
Slavery.
From tße New York Sun.]
Boston, Mass. —The Herald this
morning devotes a column and a halt to
the exposure of the impositions and
abuses practised by a German contractor
named Henry Seroder upon laborers em
ployed In blasting and building opera
tions at Hyde Park, Mass. The bat racks
of the men consist of a broken-rooted 1-
story 25 by 12 foot structure of rough
boards, divided into two apartments, one
containing a cot and a few articles of
rude furniture, the other a greasy cook
ing stove, table, benches, etc. In this
hovel at many as 18 men are at times
compelled to sleep. According to the
statement of one of their number the
men’s couch is the cold, damp flour,
where frequently the water during the
night rises around them. Their bed
clothes are rough, and their food. i* s of
the vilest quality. On one occasion a
cow which had died was cut up for the
men, many of whom fell sick after eat
ing of the meat,. The ha-al Board of
Health was notified of the fa t< ad an
Inspection was ma le, and the remains of
the carcass wore ordered to be buried.
The pay for ordinary wodmen is $lO a
month and found. Fine mechanics re
ceive from $2 to $5 more, The Herald s
informant asserted that it is Schroder’s
practice to withhold i\age-< until ids men
are forced to compromise upon a part
payment of their dues.
The gangs are continually being super

Castle Garden, N. Y.
With the present party came a young
man and his wife, lie had been a clerk
in a Berlin bank, and both he and his
wife in their dress and deportment gave
evidences of good breeding. Lodgings
were assigned the couple in the kitchen
of the barracks, but the woman refused
to pass a night in the loathsome place,
and during the four days of their stay
they slept upon leaves and boughs in the
other room in the midst of eight or ten
men. Even in the long days of the
summer the men were compelled to work
from sunrise to sunset. The writer con
cludes as follows:
“From all that could be learned of
Schroder’s method of obtaining his help
at Castle Garden, some one employed at
that place must be cognizant of the tact
that nearly every month he put in an ap
pearance for anew supply, which would
naturally lead to the conclusion that
something was wrong. But as yet he
goes through the Garden as often as he
pleases, and unmolested he entraps the
new comers from foreign lands and
brings them to his den in Hyde Park.”
DRINKING A FARM.
My homeless friend with the chromat
ic no3e, while you are stirring up the
sugar in that ten cent glass of gin, let
me give you a fact to wash down with
it. You say you have longed for years
for the free, independent life of the far
mer, but have never been able to get
enough money together to buy a farm.
But this is just where you are mistaken.
For several years you have been drink
ing a good improved farm at the rate of
one hundred square feet a gulp. If you
doubt this statement, frame it out for
yourself. An acre of land contains for
ty-three thousand five hundred and six
ty square feet. Estimating for conven
ience, the land at $43,69 per acre, you
will see that this brings the land to just
one mill per square foot, one cent for
ten square feet. Now pour down the
fiery dose and imagine you are swallow
ing the strawberry patch. Call in five
of your friends and have them help you
gulp down that hundred loot garden.
Get on a prolonged spree some day, and
see how long a time it requires to swal
low a pasture large enough to feed a
cow. Put down that glass of gin;
there’s dirt in it—one hundred sqare feet
of rich dirt, worth $43,55 per acre.—

Mrs. Stewart’s Weary Life.
Apropos of the death of Mrs. A. T.
Stewart a New York journal of social
pretentions says that during Mr. Stew
art’s life but little of his vast fortune
found its way into Mrs. Stewart’s hands.
All the great stores in the city were in
structed to give her unlimited credit, but
ready-money she was permitted to enjoy
only rarely and in economic sums, and
people who appealed go her for charity
were, the same authority says, frequently
denied from shee* necessity. Happier
lives than hers it was not diflicult to dis
cover. Caring little, if anything, for
books, without the resources of a well
equipped society woman, she turned to
the operas as her chief amusement in the
hours that could not but drag. She was
weary of life long before the curtain
went down on its final act, and frequent
ly spoke of its disappointing joys. When
finally the death of her husband made
her mistress of more than she could well
command, the power to enjoy it had
long been gone, and she was even less
happy than before. So, at least runs
the story.
PROPRIETARY MEDICINES.
A visit to Dr. Green’s Laboratory, at
Woodbury, N. J., has considerably
changed our views, and especially our
prejudices in regard to what are gener
erally known as “Standard Patent Medi
cines.” Of course we are getting to that
age in life when we are forced to con
clude Life itself is a humbug, and natu
rally distrust anything that has not with
stood long and tried experiences. Being
a physician I had a curiosity to know
how suCh a sale of two medical prepara
tions could be sustained for so many
years. The perfect system upon which
the business is conducted, and the phar
maceutical arrangements for the manu
facture of the two recipes with which we
were made acquainted, are sufficiently
convincing to us that the August Flow
er, for Dyspepsia and Liyer Complaints,
and Boschee’s German Syrup, for
Throat and Lung Troubles, were for the
complaints they are recommended, most
excellent remedies, and only regret that
in much of our practice, medical ethics
prevent us from jirescribing them with
out making the formulas public. When
we were shown the great quantity of
voluntary letters having been forwarded
Dr. Green, from all parts of the country,
and from all classes of people, lawyers,
ministers and doctors, giving a descrip
tion of their ailments, testimonials of
cures, etc., I feel like endorsing Dr.
Green’s suggestion that the government
accept such valuable formulas, and li
cense them for general use by giving pro
tection to the inventor same as patents
generally. —Copied from X. Y. Druggists'
Circular of Oct., 1886.

building of the road through this section
is an important question to our people,

Dr. H. H. Tucker, ex-Chancelor of
the Georgia State University, delivered
an address before the late prison congress
defending the lease system as regulated
in Georgia. He adduced statistics to
show that the death rate under this
system in Georgia is less than in any
penitentiary in the United States, except
in Wisconsin and Vermont. He thought
the system better for the criminal in
every way that confinement in prison
walls, and that it brought his labor less
in competition with free labor than any
other prison system, as he is not engaged
in any skilled industry. Dr. P. D.
Simms, of Chattanooga, attacked the
lease system. He said it must not be
judged by the experience in Georgia,
where it is remarkably free from abuses
o.f all kinds, but by its general results in
the Southern States. Though the death
rate in Georgia is only twenty to the
1,000 convicts annually, it has gone as
high as 140 to 1,000 in Mississippi under
the lease system, and in Tennessee will
average seventy-fiue to the 1,000 while
in non-ieased penitentiaries it is only
twenty-four to the 1,000.
Within the last five years, Mr. John
W. Coffee, of Pond Town district, in
Dodge county, has been burned out not
less than five times. Mr. Coffee has been
thoroughly satisfied from the first that
these burnings were the work of incendi
aries, and while he has suspected Dave
and Harry Reeves, colored, as the guilty
parties, he has never been able to catch
up with them until one day last week.
The last burning occurred about one
month ago, at which time a lot of fencing
and a fodder stack were consumed. Mr.
Coffee at once determined to ferret out
the guilty parties, and to this end em
ployed detective Shackleford, of Macon.
This officer came down last Thursday,
bringing a negro with him, and the two
at once went to Coffee’s house. The
n jgro then went to Dave Reeves’ bouse,
and told Dave he was & fugitive from
justice, that he had cut a fellow in
Hawkineville, and that be was going to
Dodge’s boom. He stated further to
Dave that he had been working for Mr.
Coffee for three or four days, and that.
Coffee wouldn’t pay him, and that he
thought of burning him out. Dave then
told the negro that Coffee would’t pay
anybody; that he and Harry Reeves
(Dave’s brother) had burned him out
four or five times, and that by Christmas
everything he had would be in ashes.
The negro lost no time in coveyinsr this
information to the detect iye, antf in if
short time Dave and Harry Reeves were
peeping through the bars of the Dodge
county jail.
