no effect on him whatever. Uncle
Dick managed to awaken him by
rolling him in the mud and wearing

Will Col. Wad ley Retire ?
One of the greatest railroad organ
isers and operators in the country,
says the last number of the Railroad
Record, iaWin. M. Wadley, Presi
dent ol the Georgia Central Roil road
of Georgia. Many statement, are be
ing printed concerning hia alleged
resignation, of which the following
is owe of them:
•‘lt seeina to be the general under
standing among those in position to
know, that at the next annual meet
ing of the Central railroad of Georgia,
the present President, Wm. M. Wad
ley, wi'l lender his resignation. lie
is failing in health, and has, for some
years, signified his intention of retire
ing to private life, and be relieved
from the arduous duties that have
crowded upon him during his Presi
dency. When such action is taken it
is understood that his son-in-law,
Mr, W. G. Raoul, the present Vice
President and General Manager, will
be President. In that event, it will
not be unlike that General Superin-
tendent Rogers will be made Gener
al Manager. As to who will be made
General Superintendent to succeed
Mr. Rogers, nothing is yet known.
“Any owner of Central Railroad
stock will tell you that the resigna
tion of President Wadley would not
be accepted, that the honor of being
President of the great property be
did so much toward creating shall be
his so long as he lives, which, it is
hoped, will he many years, but his

be short, as it is asserted that ho lias

singular character—Jack Ilall, alias
No arm Jack—en route to Stephena
villejail, from which institution the
prisoner escaped six months ago, af
ter receiving a sentenoe of ten years
in the penitentiary for horse stealing.
Roth his arms are off above the el

surprised to find the letters “W. T.”
imprinted upon a loaf of bread reoent
ly baked. Tho baking pan and every
thing connected with it was <-XBmiu

began to creep into tbe minds of tbe

that the bread had been placed on

made and the mystery solved. The
letters were upon the stove and had

Perhaps the most heartless crime
of tho age was committed last week by
a North Carolina uegress. Desiring to
get rid of her b*be she placed it in the
fire in her stove and burned it to a
cinder. The fiendish mother was arres
ted and is now in jail. A larger stove
should be found and she should be put
in it and baked alive.
