p Qriffln i* tba litoiicit, pluckiest, most
gressivs town in Georgia. This is no hyper
boli« R ^ desciii tion, as th-- record of the last
flte years will show.
Dnring U-»t time it lias built a id put Into
meet successful operation a ?100,0<J<) cotton
faotory and is now building; another with
nearly twice the capital. It has put up n
large iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fao-
0 ry, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom factory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
Vaited States, and haa many other enter¬
prises in .ontemplation. It has secured
another allroad ninety miles long, and while
eoateu on the greatest system in the South,
tbe Central, lias secured connection with Its
important rival, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
its five white and three colored
eharches, it is now building a $ 10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one fifth. It has at¬
tracted around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬
chards and vineyard. It is the home of the
grape ahd its wins making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
inaugurated a system of public schools, with
a seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
Had simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of haying the finest climate, summer and
winter, in tbe world.
GrilHn is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
.
a healthy, fertile and rolling country, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
lor t—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de
lirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help build up
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel
IVe have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loea-
tionfor a hotel in the South, just mention
Srittn.

Victoria, British Columbia, Nov. 20.
Lord Ennismore, heir to the earldom of
Listowel, is lying at the point of death
in the hospital here with typhoid Jfever,
accompanied with other complications.
Through who is tiie aid of Sir Donald A. Smith-

ria by the Mackay-Bennett Cable and Pa¬
cific Railway telegraph, and Sir Andrew
Clarke, the distinguished London physi¬
cian, wag placed in direct consultation
with Dr. Hanniugton in Victoria. A
conversation, lasting three hours, con¬
cerning Lord Ennismore’S condition was
carried on. An unbroken circuit was
worked from Victoria to New York,
where the telegrams were repeated to
London. Replies were received in three
and four minutes. Lord Ennismore
though somewhat still in a dangerous condition, is
better this evening. His father,
the earl of Listowel, sailed from Queens¬
town by the Gallia for Victoria.
COLQUITT RE-ELECTED.
Editor Henry W. Grady Poes Not Receive n
Single Vote for Senator.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.—[Special.]—Gen.
Alfred H. Colquitt lias been re-elected
United Stales senator from Georgia,
with only two opposing votes.
The friends of Henry W. Grady had
worked mightily to obtain a recognition
if his candidacy, and it was thought
that, at least, lie would receive 20 or 30
complimentary ballots.
As soon as the legislature had assem¬
bled and the chaplain had prayed, the
roll was called and the journal read.
By 11:80 the galleries were crowded,all
seats were occupied and a line of specta¬
tors standing up against the wall. A
number of ladies were present, and all
gentlemen entitled to tire privileges of
the floor, were in the hall of representa¬
tives. Tiie members were out in force.
At 12 o’clock Speaker Clay announced
that the hour had arrived for the elec¬
tion of a senator.
Mr. R. L. Berner, of Monroe, nomi¬
nated Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt. There
were called. no other nominations, and the roll
was Tiie result was as follows:
Colquitt, 158; Darnell, 1.
In the senate General Colquitt's elec¬
tion was as sweeping as in the house.
Only one vote was cast against him, Mr.
David Garen, of the 4.it, voting for S.
A. Darnell. Mr. Bradwell, of the 2nd,
nominated General Alfred H. Colquitt.
Tiie nomination was seconded by Sena¬
tor Whitfield, of the 20th. There was
no other nomination, and General Col¬
quitt in received the house, the the election Grady boomlet in the senate.
As came
to naught. His name was not mention¬
ed, and not a vptc was cast for him !
Every reference t6 Colquitt's position
on the tariff, made in the senate or
house, Georgia was vociferously applauded, and
the preciation of legislature showed by forth its ap¬ for

Washington, D. C., Nov. 20.—The
supreme court of the United States will
probably render a final decision in a few
hours in a case that in its sensational
features, the bitterness with which it
has been contested, and its protracted
litigation through over fifty years, stands
without- a parallel in the judicial annals
of this country, and throws into the
shade many of the celebrated cases in
the English chancery courts. This is
the suit of Myra Clark Gaines against
the city of New Orleans. Since 1834
this case lias been in the courts, and in
that time nearly every prominent lawyer
in the country lias taken part in the case
on one side or the other. The various
suits have been 1-rought savagely and
relentlessly: opprobrium, abuse, vituper¬
ation and slander have been poured upon
all connected with the case. Mrs. Gaines
has been assailed as an impostor. Her
legitimacy lias been called in question,
her mother lias been declared a bigamist
and an impure woman. When the exi¬
gency seemed to demand it, even the
manhood of Gen. dark, whose child
Mrs. Gaines claimed to be, has been dis¬
puted. The case has been tried time and
again in the state courts of Louisiana,
and it is said this is the tenth time it lias
been in the supreme court of the United
States. It has been regarded as settled
qnd determined conclusively at various
times in the past thirty years, but each
time the ingenuity of the counsel em¬
ployed poning has the found final settlement. some means It of is post¬

the drama lias come, and Mr. Beckwith,
the attorney for the city of New Orleans,
says that the resources of the law have
been exhausted, and if defeated, there is
nothing for the city to do but to make
some arrangement for the damages
awarded The by the between court. Mrs. Gaines and

her lawyers have formed not the least
conspicuous feature of the case. The
most eminent attorneys have been em¬

ness lias represented the other side.
Deserted by one counsel after another,
Mrs. Gaines struggled on hopeful, until she buoy¬
ant, confident of victory, was
finally laid away in her grave. Long
years of litigation washed away her
money, and at times she was too poor to
pay the court costs. But still she perse¬
vered in her determination to clear the
stain from iier mother's name, and to
secure what she regarded Washington as her right.

of New Orleans for $1,925,607.83 by thfe
United States circuit court. Four years
later she died, while the case was on ap¬
peal to the United States supreme court.
The amount awarded represents rents,
interest and principal accruing from the
sum for which the city originally sold
the property. It is on an interest appeal from and
this decision, awarding expected from
rents, but an opinion is court in

court, so that should the judgment be

Fell Into Molten Iron.
Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 20.—While
Carl Tliett, a moulder at the brass foun¬
dry, was working at the foot of one of
the cupal-s containing molten iron, a
rumbling sound from the cupalo, caused
by an explosion, was heard. A minute
later flames were fiercely driven out of
the opening below,and molten iron from
the receptacle above was splattered for
yards around. The unfortunate man
was enveloped by fire, from which he es¬
caped only after his hands and arms
were charred, and his face and body
burned in huge spots. It was so terrible
a torture to the man that lie pleaded of
his fellow workmen to kill him. From
i.ls arms flesh hung in shreds, so that in
pulling off his garments pieces of flesh

MESSER IS CAUGHT.
Another of the Bloody Hatfield
Gang Captured.
A YOUNG DETECTIVES COUR¬
AGE AND DARING
The Arrest the Ke»uU fff Hatfield** Conten¬
tion — The finite who Saw the
Slaughter of the McCoy Hoy*
—Justice to be Done*
Charleston, W. V&.. Nov. 20.—An¬
other of the murderous Hatfield gang
has been dragged in manacles from the
rough mountains, where the desperadoes
have so long defied the law and slaugh
tered as they chose.
The bloody border war that has strewn
the shores of the Tug river with graves,
is being rapidly brought to a close by the
iron nerved detectives who are prowling
through the great wilderness to which
law has so long been a stranger.
Ellison Hatfield, alias Mounts, tbe
brute who was captured after a desper¬
ate struggle in the mountains with De¬
tectives Gibson and Cunningham about
three weeks ago, made a full confession.
He implicated Alexander Messer as one
of tiie slayers of the McCoy boys, who
were shot to death In August five years
ago by a merciless tribunal of the woods
headed by “Devil Alice” Hatfield.
Messer is known as one of the most
desperate ruffians on the border and was
a conspicuous figure in the Breathitt
county trouble in Kentucky a few years
ago. It is said that lie killed five or six
men in that county, and boasted that he
had killed twenty-six men since the
war.
The captured murderer was here brought
to this city and taker, from to Hat¬
tiesburg, Ky,, where he is now old, and in jail.
He is about fifty-one years bus
a wife and six ehii lteu. He was form¬
erly a deputy sheriff in Perry county,
Ky. Messer declares that lie would never
have surrendered, and would not have
been captured, only that the detectives
got between him and his gun. He ad¬
mits having lived with the Hatfields at
the time of the murder of the McCoy
boys, but denies that he killed either of
them. He is the seventh of tiie Hatfield
McCoy murderers arrested by the de¬
tectives.
Gibson, who made the arrest, is the
of youngest the member fcarles; of the detectives force, but in one the
most
United States. settlement Single handed, he went
into the McCoy and captured
two this of the McCoy gang, received brought the reward them
to state, and
offered for them. In company with
other detectives, about two weeks ago,
he made a raid on the Hatfields, forefinger captur¬
ing one and shooting the off
Tom Chambers’ hand, and also shooting
him through the side. On that trip
Gibson lay in the woods three days with¬
out anything to cat except what chest¬
nuts he could find among the leaves.
Tiie murder in which Ellison Hatfield's
confession involves Messer was one of
the most awful tragedies of the border
war, and sent a thrill of horror all over
the country. After Johnson Hatfield had
betrayed and the old West Randall Virginians McCoy's had daughter rescued
Johnson from the Kentuckians, things
remained pretty quiet until the August
election in Kentucky five years ago. The
polling place of that neighborhood was
m Jerry Hatfield s house, three miles up
Blackberry creek. The Virginia Hat¬
fields had been in the habit of running
the election in both states. Ellison Hat¬
field had crossed over ojul attended the
election. Randall McCoy's three sons—
Floyd, Talbert and Richard—were lads, the eldest pres¬
being ent. They were mere the
twenty-four old and youngest and
nineteen years A row arose, in
it Ellison undertook to kill the McCoy
boys and was himself mortally wounded.
There was a wild cry for blood from
authorities tiie Virginia promptly Hatfields. arrested The Kentucky Talbert
and Richard McCoy, Floyd having
escaped. This would not do, however.
Old A nee and his followers, armed
to the teeth, crossed the river and took
the two lads away from the officers,
capturing 14-year-old also little Randall McCoy, a
brother, who had nothing to
do with the deatli of Ellison Hatfield.
The boys were taken to Virginia, and
after being tied hand and foot were
locked up in a little schoolhouse near the
Hatfield settlement. Here they were
guarded by armed sentries. Tiie Hat¬
fields swore that if their wounded rela¬
tive should die he would be avenged in
McCoy blood. For a night and two days
the lads were kept jirisoners. Their
mother and Ance Hatfield's mother,both
religious women, went to the school-
house, and on their behded knees togeth¬
er prayed for the release carried of the boys. in
Ola Mrs. Hatfield was away a
dead faint, and Mrs. McCoy was driven
across the river by tbe fierce men w-ho
guarded That night her doomed John»on sons. Hatfield died.
The three boys were taken across the
river at midnight, tied to pawpaw
bushes and shot to pieces, This ghastly
scene was fully- described by the corres¬
pondent who rode over tiie ground and
was finally driven back by the Hatfield
pickets.
