The New York Commercial Adver¬ tiser thinks it is rather noteworthy that it is the bachelors in the British House of Commons who interest themselves most persistently in the womau’s suffrage question. Nyrn Crinkle, the New York dramatic rritrc, t links it is wonderful how Ameri¬ ca a country girls develop into society queens nad hold their own in the first circles. The average American girl catches on iu a hurry, ana when good fortune throws her into a higher circle she makes herself equal to any emer¬ gency. *‘/t is curious,” muse; the Boston 1 iv.uscript, “how one iuveution renders si previous invention useless.

Sportsmen and tourists in the Adiron¬ wilderness, the favorite resort of INew York huntsmen, are no longer to be permitted its privileges free. The State has been taking steps to turn the whole region into a grand public park and game preserve, and the annouuce nicnt is made that hereafter parties re¬ sorting thither must pay from $25 to S150 for the use of camping grounds, ac¬ cording to location. The money is to be used for the preservation of forest growths, the pay of keepers and such purposes,. The Boston Transcript says: It is a time honored popular impression that the President and Vice President of the United States cannot constutionally be elected from the same State, No party has ever put two citizens of one State on its Presidential ticket. Of course there are obvious political reasons for selecting the candidates from different parts of the country. But many have assumed that there is a constitutional veto upon the selection of a Vice-President from the same State from which the President is taken. The popular impression on this subject is entiu.lv erroneous, and there is nothing in the Constitution to prevent the election of both President and Vice President from the same State either by the House and Senate or by the members Of the Electoral College. People often ask us what is the use of the abstract studies scientific men nnd women often indulge iu. The reply is, you must first discover a new truth before you can tell whether you can mak« any value of it. The valuabe discovery that the black rot can be prevented from injuring grapes by inclosing the bunch in a paper bog, instances Mehan’s Month¬ ly, is the direct result of scientfic studies. When it was found that the rot was caused by a fungus growing from a little seed or spore which, floating through the atmosphere, attaches itself to the grape berry, it was the easiest thing to think of putting bags over the bunch early in the season, so that the spore couldn’t get there, Hundreds of thou sands of dollars have beon saved to the cultivator by this bagging of grapes, wnicn would ,, , have been totally . lost but for the labors of scientific men.

The cases in which the man was a year J younger than . the . woman were almost as numerous as those in which he was six or seven years older, d he first condition was true of 6.7 per cent, of all married couples, and the latter condition of 6.4 per cent. The cases where the husband was six or seven years younger than the wife were also just as numerous as those where he was thirteen or fourteen years older. Only two cases were discovered where the husband was thirty-five years the senior; one case where he was forty seven years older; and one case where he was the older by forty-six years. One case was discovered where the wife was thirty-four years older than the husband.

The American petition in favor of the release from prison of Mrs. Maybrick.and which contains the names of Mesdames Harrison and Blaine, Was presented t > Queen Victoria Monday. A London cablegram says: Several wealthy tin manufacturers closed their works Saturday. Sixty works are now closed, and 10,000 bauds are idle. Many sailed Saturday to find emyloyment in America. A big delegation from North Carolina and Virginia waited upon Superintend¬ ent Hahn, of the speakers’ bureau of the republican committee in New York, Tuesday, to obtain the aid of efficient speakers in their states. A cable message announces the death on Friday, in Jaffna, Ceylon, of Rev. Wdliam Ware Howland, for nearly fifty years missionary of the American board on that island. Howland was born at Westbrookfield, Mass., in 1817. A London cablegram of Friday says: Right John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, has been ee-election at Newcas tle-on-I'yue, by 12,983 votes to 11,044 votes for Sattdeli Rallin, the candidate of the conservatives and liberal unionists.

President Harrison arrived in New York Wednesday morning and left again without more than a half dozen peoble be¬ ing able to get sight of him. It required considerable manceuvering and ordering and counter ordering to accomplish the feat, but it was accomplished. A Philadelphia dispatch says: Su¬ preme Justice Somerby, of the Iron Ilall, returned home Friday night. He said in his opinion Iron Hall is as sound as any institution in the country. Ilis ac¬ tions had always been straightforward and honest. There was no occasion for receivers. The Brotherhood of Street Railroad Employes session of Wednesday Indianapolis went into spe¬ cial morning for the purpose of declaring a strike. As this organization embraced 90 percent of the car service the strike, if declared, will resu't in a complete tie-up of all the lines. Their grievance is the discharge of three conductors without trials. A cablegram of Suoday from Berlin, Germany, states that radical newspapers condemn the proposed military bill aud demand the legal two years’ service sys¬ tem. The liberals also are preparing to oppose all military votes unless the con¬ cessions are made. The situation threa¬ tens a renewal of the crisis that attended the introduction of the Septennato bill of 1887. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. i The Industrial Development for the Past Week.

The Official Button. A new design for the official button of the National Association of Democratic Clubs has been adopted, and the manu facture of the button is now going ahead made rapidly. It is unusually handsome,being entirely of white oeliuleid. with a of Tke “' as Jefferson on the face of the but' on. Above the por trait are the initial letters of the organi j zation, “N. A D.

A special Washington meeting digpaich genet-' of Fri¬ day says: At its last the cautionary measures be taken, praying him to set on foot a movement to secure the co-operation of commercial clubs, boards of trade, congressmen and any and all bodies with influence with a re¬ quest to the president to stop from all infected immi¬ gration to this country countries demic. It during the the opinion period of of the epi¬ of was some the members of the committee present that the president could exercise such power. A quarantine inspection commis¬ sion was appointed by the conference to inspect all quarantine stations of ths United States, Canada and Mexico. This commission is to report to the iDterna tion il board. FINK REFUSED TO SIGN The Agreement of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association However, He is Given Another Week to Make His Decision. The meeting of the executive commit¬ tee of the Southern Railway and .'■team ship association which met in At'anta, Wednesday, adjourned Friday night at 8 o’clock. The meeting of the commit tee was in no way harmonious and prac tically nothing was accomplished. Major Fink, the receiver of Ihe East Tenne-see, Virginia and Georgia rnilroad, refused to sign the names of the Cincinnati Southern and the Alabama Great Southern to the agreement. Major Fink signed to name of the East Tennessee on condition that the Bruns¬ wick and Wisteri), the Alabama Midland and the Savannah, Americus and Mont nornery signed it also, The officials of the Richmond and Danville also tefu-ed to sign the agreement. Before the com¬ mittee adjourned a conference committee was appointed to see if some adjustment of existing differences could not be ar¬ rived at. The committee failed to ac¬ complish anything and the report cast a gloom over the members of the associa¬ tion present, for they all know that the refusal of those lines means war. When it became evident that nothing could be done in the case, a motion was made to give the lines who had not signed another week to comider the mat¬ ter. The motion was carried and the meeting adjourned. If Major Fink does not put his lines in the association ail other lines will withdraw and the association will be of the past. Before leaving, all the railroad men who were in attendance on the meeting expressed the opinion that if a rate war should be inaugurated it would be the greatest one ever known in this country. GOV. TILLMAN WINS. He Carries South Carolina by Over Ten Thousand Majority. Dispatches from Columbia state that in Tuesday’s primary elections Governor Tillman carried South Carolina by a ma¬ jority variously estimated at from ten thousand upward, and the entire reform ticket goes through with him. Returns have been very slow in reaching Colum¬ bia and Charleston, but the latest reports show that, while the conservative strength is fur greater than two years ago. Governor Tillman still has a majori¬ ty, which must be very gratifying to him and his supporters. The comparisons made with the vote two years ago need some explanation. At that lime. General Haskell ran as an independent democratic democrat against Governor Tillman, the nominee, and Tillman’s majority was 44,— 331. The race between Tillman and Sheppard is strictly within party lines, and, of course, nothing like the majority over Haskell was expected this time. Governor Tillman has done all that his friends have claimed, and Tuesday’s pri¬ maries emphasize his great strength with the people of South Carolina. THE CONSERVATIVES GAVE IT DP. The conservatives concede the state tc Tillman by about tea thousand majority, but claim three conservative congressmen —Brawley, in the first; Hemphill, in the fifth, and Johnstone in the third district. These are present members. Shell, alli enceman, in the four'll district, is also re¬ elected. The vote on prohibition was general, but there is nothing definite ns to the result yet. The country vote is conceded to be largely Tillmanitc. A LATER ACCOUNT. Dispatches of Wednesday from Colum¬ bia state that Tillman and the alliance have swept the state. The conservatives are beaten by between fifteen and twenty thousand votes, and several of the old line congressmen are supplanted. The result is a great surprise to the conserva¬ tives who believed that they stood a fair chance of winning. Under the leader¬ ship of ex-Congressmau Samuel Dibble, they have made a strong campaign, but it began too late to be effective. The candidates for congress who sided with them share the same fate, and the alliance elects four representatives of the seven. Of the thirty-five counties in the state, ex-Governor Sheppard, the candi¬ date of the conservatives, has carried only five, with a total, thus far, of 24,000. Tillman carries the other coun¬ ties with a total vote of 37,000. In an interview Chairman Dibble said : “I be¬ lieve that we are defeated by 15,000 votes. We are democrats, and, of course, expect to abide th: result of the democratic primary.” TROOPS HOMEWARD BOUND. (Jen. Carnes and Three Hundred Troops Leave Coal Creek.

There are still more than one hundred prisoners at Coal Creek who are being examined as fsst as po-sibie. of Several them were bond. released Satur day, some will on It is proba bin that some go to jail and await the meeting of court i r September. It is now believed that the law has tri umnhed. That General Carnes has acted w ith good judgment and is a splendid officer is attested by all the facts. Brb Lindsay, the postmaster at Coal Creek and a brother of Bud, was released on a thou-and-dollar bond. There is ev idence to show that he has been acting with the miners while appearing to beon the side of the law. The troops at Coal Creek will remain indefinitely. LINDSAY ALMOST LYNCHED. The Soldier Boys Had Him But General Carnes Came to His Rescue. Sudden Ending of the Trial of Prison¬ ers at Coal Creek. Special dispatches of Friday ftorn Coal Creek state that the trials of the prison¬ ers have come to a sudden D. termination. B. Mon¬ Since Thursday the trial of roe has beea in progress before Justice Kincaid, of Clinton. Many witnesses were examined and much damaging evi¬ dence adduced. The proof shows th .t there was nn oath-bound organ Z ition. and these men were numbered and d:d not go by names. Yet there isscaicely a man about Coal Crick or Oliver Springs who does not know who was in the Various mobs. They know positively each from their respective neighborh od, but de¬ on the witness stand they had the most fective memory; but sufficient evidence was found against Monroe as a leader-to send him to the gallows. When the evidence was in, II. B. Lindsay, United States attorney for the eastern district of Tennessee, made a short talk, claim¬ ing that there was no charge prosecution proven which was not bailable. The quoted the law showing that any who man with guns or other deadly weapons mob which was actively taking part in murder a in the caused death was guilty of first degree. Justice Kincaid decided the case was not bailable, and remanded Moore to jail to await trial There were a large number of other prisoners. They became panic stricken at once, and waived the court under the advice of the attorneys. Bud L’ndsay was allowed bail iu the sum of $5,000, which bis brother furnished. The others who gave bond were: Ge rge E. Irish, $2,000; Robert Rmitb, $2,000; Creed O’Deli, Joe Ilodgers, Jacob Summerly, Dr. J. G. Adkins, Dr. J. M. McFerrm, Wm. Edwards, E R Laughter, John F. Wetherford, Dr. li. B. Adkins and J. E. Hightower, $1,000 each. Nearly all of the other 150 prisoners also waived ex aminatien and will try to secure bonds. lindsay’s lively experience. Much dissatisfaction was created among the troops at letting Bud Lindsay out on bail. Soon this dissatisfaction gre v to subdued threats of lynching. Groups of soldiers gathered about neir the hotel where Lindsay kept himself concealed. As the word was passed around that the desperado Intended to leave <>a the even¬ ing train those crowds of soldiers became larger and larger. As the train pulled iu at 4 o’clock Lindsay, accompanied appeared, by his brother and several friends, walked across the street to the dep 4 and boarded the train. Just as the train pulled out and Lindsay was entering the car two the soldiers, who entered the c ir from other end to pull him off, npp oached him and said: “Here, we want you to get off this train.” The points of two bayonets pressing against his breast cmvinced the outlaw that be did not want to leave Coal Creek on that train, and with the two men close behind him he stepped down to the ground. As the train pulled out the 200 soldiers conducted him down the lailroad with the deter¬ mination of taking him out of to wn and shooting him. CARNES TO THE RESCUE. Just at this moment word reached General Carnes at headquarters of this affa.ir, and immediately hurrying to the scene, he met the crowd about two hun¬ dred yards down the track. Tin men, learning of the approach into the of guard tie general, house rushed the prisoner adjoining the impromptu giant court desperado room. General Carnes took the from the guard house and said to him: “You are safe; go where you please; I pledge you my protection, and th it means the protection of my men. Ig ve you my word of honor that you will not be mobbed.” The generul then ordered his men to their tents, and for the second time Bud Lindsay’s life w’as saved. Lindsay, in company with Deputy Sheriff Edwards, went to the house of his brother, from which he afterwards es¬ caped on foot to the woods. BIG FIRE IN AUGUSTA. Prominent Business Firms Burned Out—The Chronicle’s Misfortune. At three o’clock Saturday morning, fire was discovered in Alexmder’s drug store, adjoining Fleming & Bowles’ fur¬ niture house in Augusta, Gn.

Our feet not always in paths of God. Sometimes in paths of worldliness. Our feet, a divine and glorious machinery for usefulness and work, so often making missteps, so often going in the wrong direction. Go 1 knowing every step, the patriarch saying, “fhou settest a print 0:1 t ie heels of my feet.” Crimes of the band, crimes of tire tongue, crimes of the eye, crimes of the ear not worse than tho crimes o the foot. Oh, we want the wings of humility to cover the feet. Ought we not to go into self abegnation before the all .searching, Go!? all scrutinizing, all trying eye of Tne seraphs do. How much more ive? “With twain he covered the feet." All this talk about the dignity of human nature is braggadocio and a sin. Our na¬ ture started at the hand of God regaJ, but it has been pauperized. There is a well in Belgium which once had very pure water, and brick; it was stoutly well masoned with stoue and but that afterward became tha centre ot the battle of Waterloo. At the opening of the battle the soldiers with their sabers compelled the gardener, William Von Kyisom, them, aud to draw water out of the well for it was very pure water. But the battle raged, and three hundred dead aud half dead were flung into the well for quick and easy burial, so well that the waff of ra.reshment became the of death, and long alter people looked down into the well, ati i t icy saw the bleached skulls, but no water. So the human soul was a well of goo!, hut the armies of sin have fought around it, anl fought across it and bean slain, and it has became a well of skeletons. Dead hopes, dead resolutions, dead oppor tun 1 ties, dead ambitions. An abandoned well unless Christ shall reopen aud purify and fiil it as the well of Belgium never was. UncleaD, unclean! Another seraphic posture in the text, “With twain he covered the face.” That means reverenca God ward. Never so much irreverence abroad in the world as to-day. Aou sea it in the defaced statuary, in the in cutting out of figures from flue paintings, the chipping of monuments for a rae mento, in the fact that a military guard must stand at the graves of Grant and Gar¬ field, and that old shade trees must be cut down for firewood, though fifty George I’. Morrises beg the woodmen to spare the tree, aad that calls a corpse a cadaver, and that spoaks of death as going over to tne ma¬ jority, father and substitutes anl mother, for the reverent terms, “the old man” and “ihe old woman,” and finds nothing impressive in the ruins of Baal bee or the columns of Karnac, an 1 sees no difference in the Sabbath from any other days except sars "2 tiBSrvsta&a: book making it not the Word of Goi. but a good with some fine things in it.
