Briefly Epitomized.
What Is Being Done to Allay Finan
cik' Depression and Bring Relief.
Thirty-Second Day —ln the absence
of tht : vice president, the senate was
presided over Wednesday bv Mr. Har
ris, president pro tem of the senate.
A bill for a bimetallic money system
was introduced by Mr. Peffer, by re
quest, but was referred to the finance
committee. It provides that all the
paper money of prior issue hereafter
paid out by the United States treasury
3hull be stamped “Redeemable in
equal sums of gold and silver or in
United States treasury notes thus re
deemable.” The resolution offered last
Monday by Stewart for a committee
of inquiry ns to senators bolding
stock of national banks, or being in
terested in them was taken up and
Stewart made an argument in defense
of his resolution.
Thirty-Third Day.— Numerous pe
titions were presented in the senate
Thursday morning favoring the free
coinage at different ratios. Faulkner
offered an amendment to the Wilson
repeal bill outlined in his speech the
other day and asked it to be printed
in Record. It provides for three mil
lion silver dollars, 412 1-2 grains
weight, to be coined every month
until $800,000,000 is coined and
directs the way in which pur
chases shall be made and money
issued. It also provides for the
gradual redemption of national
bank notes until no currency of
that description is in circulation
smaller than the denomination of ten
dollars. The Wilson bill was then
called up and Mr. Daniel, of Virginia,
began his speech. He was glad to
note how, Avlien the acute panic was
over, it was easy to see the Sherman
law had nothing to do with sending
away gold, and the threatened repeal
had been in no earthly use in bring
ing it back. The conditions brought
about by the panic were the enormous
increase of debt, unprecedented in
lowering prices, that had been going
on for twenty years, and contempora
neous destruction of the money power
of silver.
Thirty-Fourth Day.— There was
such a very slim attendenco of sena
tors in the chamber Friday morning
that after prayer and the reading of
Thursday’s journal, Mr. Quay ventur
ed to suggest the absence of a quorum.
The vice president, thereupon, order
ed the roll to be called, and during
the progress of the roll call forty
four senators—being one more than
a quorum—answered to their names
Among the pititions presented was
one by Mr. Cullom signed by a
large number of ex-soldiers, residents
of liis state, alleging that they were
beset by detectives of the government;
traveling in disguise secretly co-op
erating with those who have been distin
guished by their antipathy for those
who fought for the flag. It is alleged
that these spies, with friendly preten
ses, visit the home of pensioners, and
with the basest hypocracy and fawn
ing deceptions, seek to find some clue
to furnish information to the pension
office to deprive old veterans of their
pensions. At 12:35 o’clock the sen
ate proceeded to the consideration of
the repeal bill, and was addressed in
defense of the bill by Mr. Lindsey,
democrat of Kentucky, it being his
first speech in the senate, except some
remarks of an obituary character. He
argued that the repeal bill left unim
paired the bill of 1890, so far as it af
fected the coinage of silver in the future.
The greater part of Mr. Lindsay’s
speech, which occupied an hour and a
half, was devoted to a defense of Sec
retary Carlisle from the imputation
that he had been a party to the con
spiracy of New York bankers to bring
about a panic in order to compel a re
peal of the Sherman laAV. Mr. Mor
gan defended the consistency of his
arguments against the conference re
port of 1890 (the Sherman act) with
his position now against the repeal of
that law. Mr. Higgins addressed the
senate in favor of the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. In his
opinion the people had fairly made up
their mind that the repeal bill ought
to be passed and passed without delay
—promptly. A.t the close of Mr.
Higgins’ speech Mr. Allison took the
floor, saying he desired to make a few
remarks on some phases of the pend
ing question. He postponed doing so,
however, until Saturday, and the sen
ate, after a short executive session at
5.30 o’clock adjourned until Saturday.
Thirty-Fifth Day. —A second effort
o', the part of Senator Voorhees Sat
urday to reach an agreement as to the
time for the closing debate on the re
peal bill, and proceeding to vote on
the bill and amendments, had no bet
ter result than his previous one, ex
cept that there was a sort of intima
tion by Mr. Teller that as no speeches
had been made for delay, none would
be, and that the question of closing
the debate might lie over for the pres
ent at least. Mr. Allison made a three
hours’ speech in order to prove that
the true way to rehabilitate silver was
to repeal the silver purchase law and
thus force England and the nations of
Europe to come to an international
agreement on the subject. The re
mainder of the day was given to eulo
gies on the life and character of the
late Senator Sanford, of California.
Thirty-Sixth Day. —The attendance
in the senate Monday was a small one.
Stewart gave notice that he would at
the earliest possible opportunity offer
an amendment to the silver bill, invit
ing Mexico and South and Central
America to join the United States in a
conference for the purpose of adopting
a common silver dollar of not less than
383.13 grain. The senates then went
into executive session.
THE HOUSE.
. Thirty-Second Day —Mr. Denson,
of Alabama, offered a resolution in the
house "Wednesday morning declaring
that whereas the house was ad
journing from day to day, while
the people were demanding ac
tion, the house should authorize the
banking and currency committee to
report immediately a bill introduced
by McLaurin, of Suuth Carolina, pro*
ndisg for th* in m* ?f 1123,000,009 in
treasury note for the relief of th©
people. It was objected to and went
over under the rule. Mr. Richardson*
of Tennessee, called up hisbill to regu
late the printing, binding and dis
tribution of public documents, and
asked its immediate consideration. It
w as urged as aprivileged matter. The
speaker ruled that it had no privileges
for immediate consideration. Mr.
Richardson then moved the bill be re
ferred to the house calendar. The
Everett bill to amend the Geary law
was considered and refered to a sub
committee consisting of McCreary,
Everett, Geary, Hitt and Hanner, and
then adjourned.
Thirty-Third Day. —The struggle
over the federal election repeal bill
was begun in the house Thursday
morning at the opening of the session
by the republicans, under the lead oi
Burrows, who filibustered to prevent
the reception of the report from the
committee on election of president
and vice president in favor of the
Tucker bill. On Burrows’ motion to
dispense with the call of committees
for reports, republicans refrained from
voting, thus breaking a quorum. The
vote resulted, yeas 4, nays 106. The
call of the house was theu ordered.
When the roll of absentees was in
progress every member for whom an
excuse was offered was excused from
attendance. This led Mr. Wilson, re-
publican, of Washington,to ask wheth
er the absentees could not be excused
collectively instead of individually. The
speaker replied that they could not.
“Well,” said Mr. Wilson, as he took
his seat, “I thought we could get
through quicker if we excused them
in job lots.” A motion to adjourn was
lost—yeas, 47 ; nays, 145. The Tuck
er resolution was then read. It re
vokes all leaves of absence, except those
granted on account of sickness, and di
rects the sergeant-at-arms to telegraph
for absent members. The previous
question having been ordered, a half
hour of debate was had, after which
Mr. Turner’s resolution was adopted
and the house at 2:45 o’clock ad
journed.
Thirty-Fourth Day. —The order
made Thursday revoking leaves of ab
sences and directing tbe sergeant-at
arms to telegraph for absentees did.
not, when the house met Friday morn
ing, appear to have been productive of
very gratifying results. The attend
ance was a small one, and there Avere
more empty seats on the democratio
side than on the republican side. Pub
lic business Avas suspended and, under
a special order, the house proceeded
to pay a tribute of respect to the mem
ory of the late J. Logan 'Cliipman, of
Michigan. Eulogies were delivered
by Messrs. Weadock, Powers, Curtis,
Caruth, McMillin, Haugen, Dearmond
and Escovert, and then, as a mark of
respect to the memory of the deceased,
the house, at 3:20 o’clock, p. m., ad
journed.
Thirty-Fifth Day.— The proceed
ings in the house Saturday were a
repetition of the proceedings of Fri
day and of the day before, Avith the
single exception that the session Avas
shorter and lasted but forty minutes.
The tactics which the republicans
have adopted to keep out a report on
the federal election bill were again re
sorted to and the democrats, not hav
ing a quorum, yielded to the inevita
ble and moved an adjournment, Avhich
was taken at 12.40 o’clock until 1.45
o’clock Monday.
BUTCHERED IN JAIL.
Au Alabama Mob Kills Five Prisoners
in Their Cells.
Pickens county, Alabama, comes to
the front again with an awful butcher
ing of prisoners confined in the jail
at Carrollton. Paul Archer, Will Ar
cher, Polk Hill, Ed Guyton and Ellen
Fant, all negroes, and the latter a wo
man, were shot to death Friday night
by a mob of masked men.
Some time during last week the mill
and ginhonse of J. E. Woods were
burned. In about a week the negroes
were arrested and were confined in
Carrollton jail. The preliminary in
vestigation was in progress, but had
not been concluded. Friday night
the sheriff was called on in his room at
the jail building and was told that
parties had a prisoner whom they had
arrested they wanted to turn over to
him. The sheriff came down from his
room, and unlocking the jail door,
found himself in the hands of a dis
guised mob who demanded of him the
keys to the cell where the prisoners
were confined. This request was urg
ed upon the sheriff by the glistening
barrels of a hundred Winchesters.
After the officer was overpowered
the mob quickly made its way to the
grated cells of the prisoners and
through the iron bars the barrels of
the rifles were placed and from every
muzzle came a dozen halls In a sec
ond’s time five human beings had been
cruelly butchered and their quivering
bodies lay in streams of blood which
ran across the floor. The mob then
quietly dispersed.
PHOSPHATE MINERS BLUE.
Governor Tillman and the Commission
ers Cannot Aid Them.
A Charleston special says: One of
the state phosphate commissioners
made a tour of the phosphate mines
Friday in the steamer Catherine. The
Catherine first went to Williams is
land, where the Pacific company has
been carrying on operation's. Then
she steamed across to Buzzard’s island,
where what is left of the quarantine
station is to be seen.
Out of nine buildings there only one
is left. From Buzzard’s island the
commissioners went around to the
works of the Farmers’ Mining Com
pany. Besides having lost considera
ble in its floating stock, the Farmers’
met with much damage at the works.
The expensive loading and unloading
apparatus hai been completely destroy
ed, and there were other losses more
or less serious.
The next objective point was Coo
saw. All along the line wrecked ves
sels high and dry were to be seen. At
the Coosaw the commissoners had
a convincing spectacle.
Governor Tillman, arrived in Char
leston Friday night. At a meeting of
the phosphate commission held after
the governor’s arrival, it was decided
that no arrangement would be made
'with phoehate companies which would
ngt guarantee an aggregate royalty for

AN EPIDEMIC DECLARED.
Seven Hew Cases of Yellow Fever
Annonncefl SnMav
And Brunswick’s Board of Health
Says the Disease is Now Epidemic.
Elewen new cases of fever were an
nounced at Brunswick Sunday and an
epidemic declared. The announce
ment, which was made by the board
of health, sent a thrill of horrer to
the grief-stricken Brunswickians.
With heart-breaking sorrow hundreds
hurriedly rushed to the trains Sunday
afternoon, and it will need no military
force to depopulate the city.
affecting scenes.
During the hurry and bustle of
leaving many nailed up their stores and
then ified. Weeping mothers,
and cli ildren stood by the train erving
as if their hearts Avould break, as they
imprinted kisses on their loved ones
lips, pr obably the last they will ever
give. Strong men turned aside with
tears welling from their eyes as they
viewed the affecting scenes, and the
prayers that were offered in that
crowd wore many, but silent and sin
cere.
Sixteen cases are under treatment,
but tire board of health decided not to
give the names for publication. All
are resting well except tbe tailor, Mr.
Johns on, and Mrs. Turner, AA'ho are
dangerously ill. Surgeon Guiteras
warns the people from allowing citi
zens to- spend their days in Brunswick
and go out to their homes at night.
He says such people will carry infec
tion with them.
PREPARING CAMP HUTTON.
Cam]) Hutton is being rapidly ar
ranged to accomodate 3,000 and the
poorer people can find refuge there.
Government trains will be run daily.
Preparations for establishing a cor
don around the city and moving peo
ple have been made.
Surgeon Guiteras left Sunday after
noon for Philadelphia, after doing no
ble work. He was called to the bed
side of a sick wife.
Monday’s dispatches.
Four neAV cases of feA r er developed
Monday making the total number un
der treatment nineteen. The Cox
child has been discharged. Only one
case is now serious and that is John
son, the tailor. Dr. Faget visited all
the cases and pronounoes the other
eighteen mild and likely to recover
with good nursing and proper treat
ment.
The board of health met in execu
tive session Monday. The sessions
are not secret, but are merely execu
tive to keep out the crowds. Repre
sentatives of the press are admitted
but ordered not to publish the names
of patients for fear of unnecessarily
alarming relatives and patients now
not dangerously ill. The board passed
a resolution calling the attention of
all physicians to the fact that they
must report promptly at noon daily al. 1
cases of fever under treatment under
penalty of $25 fine for non-compli
ance. Grave apprehension is aroused
from the fact that the disease has
spread to all quarters of the city and
mo spot is uninfected.
Surgeons Murray and DeSaussure
arrived in the city, and members of
the board of health and Surgeons Fa
get, Geddings, DeSaussure and Mur
ray met in consultation. It Avas de
cided to put men on horseback and set
them taking a census of the city and
all after that who desire to leave can
go through Camp Hutton. No one
Avill be allowed to stop at Camp Hut
ton over ten days and must then con
tinue on to their destination. Surgeon
Geddings reported that he had thrown
a cordon of armed men around the
city and that no one will be alloAved to
leave town without going through the
camp.
A CORDON ESTABLISHED.
Surgeon Geddings instructed Sheriff
Berrie to throw an armed cordon
around the city and many who were
leaving by the public roads were turn
ed back. The impression seems to ex
ist that Camp Hutton is a refugee camp
but it is only for detention. “Move
on,” is the order after ten days expire.
Only one out of twelve prisoners at
the jail wanted to leave the city and
he has been sent to the convict camp.
Camp Hutton has been opened and
everybody will have to go through
there. Only workmen are there now,
and it will take ten days to complete
it. Surgeon Gaddings will have charge
and says it will accommodate 1,000 at
time. All the poor who cannot pay
for prescriptions will have them filled
free by the relief committee.
The weather Monday was hot and
muggy, and favorable to the spread of
fever. Most of those w r ho are able to
leave have already gone and those re
maining are principally of the poorer
classes who cannot get away if they
would. It is estimated that there re
main about 5,000 in the city and of
these the greater number are without
means of livelihood. Camp Haines,
near Way cross, was opened during the
day by Surgeon Murray, the expert
from Dry Torfcugas.
REUNION POSTPONED.
General Gordon Announces that the

Headquarters United Confederate
Veterans, New Orleans, September

general commanding, deeply regrets
the that an almost uniyersal request
for postponment of the United Con
federate Veteran reunion, which was
to be held at Birmingham, Ala., on
the 2d and 3d days of October next
compels him very reluctantly to issue
this order. It was sincerely hoped by
him, and it was his earnest wish, that
no impediment would arise whicl
would hinder the veterans from rneet

demand for postponement, based upon
extreme depression and poverty in the
country, makes the postponment im
perative, the date of the reunion to bt

their kind, just as their progenitor had
done; all of which proves that these be
ings of extraordinary fecundity are real
androgynous creatures without distinc

During the spring and early summer,
as hinted above, all vine-fretters are vi
viparous. that is, they bring forth their
young alive. Toward the beginning of
autumn, strange as it may seem, all is
changed, araoug the new, as well as the
older generations,each laying eggs which
are not hatched until the return of warm
weather the following spring. There
may be other insects equally as paradox

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Buying on Credit.
Going into debt is not necessarily
unwise or improper; debt is not neces
sarily an evil. It is the habit of run
ning store bills that often lands a man
in iextricable bondage and misery
which makes a debt an inevitable nui
sance. Many a man will buy that
which is not absolutely necessary when
running a store account, who would
hesitate to make a similar purchase if
he had to pay the cash out of his
pocket on the spot. How many have,
for the sake of possessing a machine
which they could not use one month
in the year, overwhelmed them
selves in debt to the tune of
hundreds of dollars, when by asso
ciated effort one such machine would
have served the purpose of a neigh
borhood. Again, and on the other
side it has paid many a young, thrifty
and energetic man to buy a farm on
credit when he had only money enough
to stock it and provide the few imple
ments essentially necessary. Thous
ands of men have succeeded under
such circumstances in earning a farm
in a few years who would otherwise
have dragged their weary way along
as farm laborers, earning but little
more than enough to live on. Buying
goods on credit and running store ac
counts is an intolerable source of wor
ry and annoyance. —Rural World.
What Girls Should Cultivate.
An unaffected, low, distinct, silver
toned voice.
The art of pleasing those around
you, and seeming pleased with them
and all they may do for you.
The charm of making little sac
rifices quite naturally, as if of no ac
count to yourself.
The habit of making allowances for
the opinions, feelings or prejudices of
others.
An erect carriage, a sound body.
A good memory for faces aDd facts
connected with them, thus avoiding
giving offense through not recognizing
or bowing to people or saying to them
what had best be left unsaid.
The art of listening without impa
tience to prosy talkers, and smiling at
the twice-told tale or joke.
Petroleum to Cure Diphtheria.
Paris medical men continue to give
their opinions vaguely on the treat
ment of diphtheria by petroleum as
carried out by Dr. Flahout, a pro
vincial physician. All unite in testi
mony as to the fact that such a treat
ment is by no means original. Dr.
Fauvel, a celebrated throat specialist,
says that in pulmonary maladies the
application of pure petroleum has pro
duced splendid results. Moreover,
during the American war of secession
wounds were dressed with the oil. The
doctor, however, counsels mothers
whose children are affected by the
dreadful malady of diphtheria or croup
to put their trust for the present in
pure lemon juice, which should be
sponged or brushed over the throats
of the sufferers. —London Telegraph .
Breadmaking.
In an article on “Breadmaking as
an Accomplishment” an English con
temporary refers to the scarcity of
breadmakers among cooks. Says the
writer: “It is astonishing how com
paratively few professional cooks will
nowadays undertake domestic baking.
I was staying with some friends in a
furnished house at an out of the way
place where the village bread was so
sour and bad as to be pronounced un
eatable, and they were obliged to have
a supply twice a week by train from a
town 40 miles away, their coachman
having to go seven miles to the station
to fetch it, and this because their Lon
don cook—an expensive and otherwise
efficient specimen of her class—did
not understand the mystery of set
ting the dough to rise.”

Teach a young child to wait upon
itself and upon its parents. Let it
bring father his slippers, cane, hat or
gloves, and mother her workbasket
thimble or book. Encourage it to
perform any little offices that come
within its powers ns a tiny child. It
will be proud to execute' these small
commissions, and as it grows older it
will form a fixed habit of considering
the wants of others. Improvement of
the character is likely to make the
body more beautiful. Mind and phy
sique are closely allied. Noble im
pulses, high aspirations and unselfish
character are indicated by a high
chest, well poised head and elnstio
footstep.
