CASES postponed. t The Young Men Charged With Bur glary Will Go Before Grand Jury- Yesterday morning W. J. Futral, ♦ justice of the peace of Akin district, appeared at the courthouse to bear the preliminary trial of Oscar McMahon* Britt and Etheridge, who have been in jail the past week, charged with bur glarizing the homes of H. C. Burr and E. C. Smith on the morning of the Ist inst. The prisoners were in court with counsel. Col. Cleveland, representing the prosecution, stated that, inasmuch as the superior court convened, on Monday, and that court was the proper tribunal, upon the recommendations of the grand jury, to try the accused, asked that the cases be continued until that time. The investigation, if commenced at this time, would hardly be concluded before the grand jury met, and be thougot it would be an unnecessary consumption of time, without accomplishing anything. W. H. Beck, who defends McMahon audßritt, opposed the postponement, saying bis clients bad a right to a hearing—the. law recognized every man’s innocence until proven other* wise. . His clients had been irifarcer ated tor more than a week and no in vestigation had been had of the charges against them. Col. Tburmap, counsel for Ether edge, stated that while bis client was entitled to a bearing by law, and that be certainly thought Col. Cleveland was joking in making the motion for , a continuance, yet be wonld offer no objections to await an investigation by the grant! jury. Esquire Futral thought the request of Col Cleveland was a reasonable one, and that justice to the State or accused could not be jeopardized by so brief a continuance, ordered that the cases take that course. This adjourned the court, and the prisoners went back to jail to await an investigation by the grand jury. Episcopal Services. A telephone message from Bishop Nelson yesterday stated that Bev. Frank W. Ambler, of Atlanta, would conduct services at the Episcopal church in this city Sunday morning at 11 o’clock and at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He also said that be had strong hopes of seeing a regular pastor in charge of St. George’s in a short while. The West Paying its Debt. One cause of the plethora of money in the Eastern banks is the large pay ments of mortgage indebtedness which have been made by land owners in the western stales. Money accumulating in consequence of such liquidation is ‘not a source of alarm. It is not the Kjeault of stagnation nor of fear, but of ■temporary satiety. It will encourage and investments in the ■future which but for the ease of the I money market would not be ventured Eppon.—Philadelphia Record. The following, from Brains, is time ly : "The man who expects to get up some morning and find this country enjoying a boom which has in some mysterious way come in the night,may as well for disappointment, The —all the boom we need—-is coffiing right along, but it can't come at a single bound Timrs are a thou*- sand per cent, belief than they were a little while ago; That is good. We ought to be thankful, and we all ought to pitch in and do what we can to im. prove the times.” -Piano Tuning. Charles H.

All such were inter ested in the/report from Florida, a few days since,4bwt he had married a belle upon three bears acquaintance who was the possessor of S3XJPO,QOQ. in her own name. The New York Journal turns on the light and shows the real “romance” in thia affair, as follows: If "The White Mahatma” should project bis astral body from Georgiy to West Neck, L. 1., be would discover that his father-in-law has no vast breweries turning malt into money, no broad acres producing heavy crops for hungry Europeans to buy at high prices. Indeed, "The White Mahatma” wonld learn that his bride is the way ward daughter at a toiling farmer, who hires the ground be ploughs, also that his bride has married before, also that bis bride may have committed bigamy in marrying him. "The White Ma hatma” has a deal to learn about that little wife of his, whom he married after an acquaintance of two hours, the girl who was "reported to be the daughter of a man worth $3,000,000.” “Tbs White Mahatma” is the impost ing stage title of James Caraway, who used to be a printer in the composing room of Hoke Smith’s paper and de** veloped into a hypnotist for profit after he found that he could put the galley boys to sleep on their way to get copy. He is not 30 years old, is the sjn of a widow of wealth, and has an excellent reputation in Atlanta. Tilly Meyer is well known about Huntington, L. 1., and her parents have the respect of all the neighbors. Ten years ago Tilly, then 17 years of age, ran away with a blacksmith, nam* Gildersleeve, a married man. Her next flight was*to the Pacific Coast with a companion unknown. Her itinerary was traced .by the checks upon the Huntington Bank, to which she signed her father’s name. Subsequently she retyrned home, five years ago was married to Edward Rieger. Her little daughter, four years old, now lives with the child’s grand*, parents in their old-fashioned farm house, on the extreme end of Lloyd’s Neck. Tilly tried to get a divorce, and Allison E. Lowndes of Hunting*, ton, acted as her attorney. Mr. Lowns des says that, so far as he knows, no divorce was granted. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have beard nothing about the marriage of their daughter to Carraway, save from the telegrams printed in the newspapers, in which these simple German farmer folk are represented as possessors of great wealth. The parents have heard from their daughter, however, since she went South. The messages contain no ref erence to a marriage. A telegram from Huntington, L. L, to the Atlanta Journal says, among other things: "A vessel captain became so enamor ed of Mrs. Rieger that he anchored his boat in ah exposed spot near her home while he paid tribute to her charms. The result was the vessel blew ashore and was wrecked. Mrs. Rieger says Rieger had a wife and two children when she married him, and conse-* quently their marriage was illegal.” Blood, Pollen‘Oured- There is no doubt, according to the many remarkable cures performed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B.

I employed an old physician and then went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot Springs and remained two months. Noth ing seemed to cure me permanently, al though temporary relief was given me. I returned home a ruined nywi physically, with but little prospect of ever getting well I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish ment it quickly healed every ulcer. Z. T. Hallkbtom, Macon, Ga. Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Tear Life Away.

Attacked With Homicidal Mania Soon After Put in a Cell Warned by ap intuition which be could not explain, a man asked to be placed in close confinement on last Thursday on Staten Island, for fear that the cloud which be felt stealing over his reason would impel him to some terrible act of violence. It was only after the utmost persistence that his request was granted. In lels than forty eight hours be was a raving madman, furiously eager to kill any living being that came in his way. Capt, Blake of Richmond Police Station No. 1 was on duty Thursday when Henry Fischer entered the po lico station and asked to be locked up. He was apparently sane and sober. "What do you want m?, to lock you lip for?” asked Capt. Blake. “What have yob been doing?” "I have been on a spree,” said Fisch** er, “anfhl’m afraid I am ' going crazy. If I do, I might harm somebody. I want to be locked up.” The captain looked the man over critically. “No,” said he, "I can’t lock you up. I don’t see anything the matter with you.” “But I tell you I am on the verge of delirium tremens,” persisted Fischen “I am going mad. I know it. I feel it. I may kill somebody if I am not put in a safe place.” Capt. Blake still refused, and finding Fischer was insistent, sent him to a magii|lrate. The same story was re peated, but the magistrate was as in credulous as Capt. Blake had been, and believing that he had a harmless crank to deal with told Fischer to go out and get some one to make a com plaint against him. The order was obeyed and Fischer went from one friend to another. Not one of them would aid him. He event ually induced Mrs. Mary Ann Bas combe, a wealthy property owner of Stapleton, to enter the necessary com plaint, and he was committed. He was placed in a cell and appeared to be perfectly rational. Late on Saturday night he demand ed his liberty, and almost immediately after calling to the turnkey he began to act strangely. Io ten minutes bis eyes were blazing with the fires of in- be dashed himself against the cell door like a wild beast. He continued to rave all night, and yes terday morning Dr. C. Wilmot Town send was called to examine him. The physician at once pronounced Fischer to be suffering from homicidal mania, and said that the chances for his recovery were one in a hundred. Steps will be taken to place the unfor tunate man in an asylum.—New York Press. la Olden Times People overlooked the importance of per manently beneficial effects and were satis fied with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently overcome habitual constipa tion, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act forfa time, but finally injure the system. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When thia tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out often are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

It is as sweet a tune today as it ever was. The same power of inspiration that once drew forth the rebel yell and nerved the hearts of Lee’s devoted men still lurks in its martial air, and it thrills the southern youth today just as it thrill ed bis sires when it was the national air of a government whose brief-histo ry is traced in characters of blood. Dixie is one of the tunes that will never grow old. To us it is linked with the past by a bond of sentiment which glows with the very essence of patriotism. Had that great struggle of the sixties resulted differently, had Confederate arms been crowned with victory, Dixie would not now, perhaps, hold the sacred station which we all accord it. It reminds us as nothing else can, of a bitter struggle that rob bed our homes of their fathers and -sons stock sweethearts, and it opens afresh deep wounds that time has not served to heal. We love it it to the echo, but there’s a melancholy recollection that arises whenever its gay strains greet our ear. When we hear it our nerves tingle, our eyes sparkle,our blood flows swifter through our veins and a wave of something which only those who have felt can understand sweeps over us; but still it makes us sad. Dear old Dixie 1 The years will never rob it of its own peculiar glory. It is as dear to our people as the memory of the war itself, and its simple chords will live with those of "Old Hundred” and "Home, Sweet Home.’’—Albany Herald. FOR RENT.
