A Brief Sketch of III* Lif<‘--S{»renla- tlous iii Regard to the t i'y Government. Wepreaent eur readera this meraing with a very fiua and accuratepertrait of James An drew Stawart, mayor elaet of Griffin, and probably the youngest chief municipal offl-ar la tha world, (being twanty-lwe yeara and four moath 8 of age. Mr. Stewart being at the beginning of his career, there will probably be more to aar about him in the future than there i« at pres ant. He wae born Auguet 1st, I860, a*d i» aot only a uativa of Griffin but has always baen a resident of the city, receiving his education here at Mlae Mollia Porter’a school and alterward* under Prof. G. C. Looney at 8 am Bailey Institute. After leaving school, ' he has clerked at various place* and i» sow engaged in E. J. Flemiater’adry goods atore, giving the beat of satisfaction tohi* employ- er. The officee he haa prtvieusly held are tho*e of secretary and treasurer of the fire departatsnt, which he now holds; and he was treasurer of Griffin Light Guard* at th# time that organization fall into iuaocueua daauetnds. His present fighting weight is 150 pounds and his height five feet eleven and half inches Mr. Stewart is a gentleman of pleasant ad¬ dress, geoil sense, firmness and independence, and has s promising future before him. He is th# son of Hon. .J. D. Stewart, the pretent congressman from this district; but that had “nothing to do with the case,” and his fatli *r was probably the most surprised man in th# country when he received at Washing¬ ton a telegram announcing his aon’a election. Brought out one day before the election, he received thirty-aine majority over one Of the oldest and most solid eitizens of Griffin This was brought about greatly through th# desire for a change in (he administration of the city gevernment, but wu also largely due to Mr. Stewart’-popnlarity and the able msanf in which th* impromptu campaign waa conducted Th# new mayor will be inducted into office on neat Tuesday night, and since the elec¬ tion has been carefully considering the du ties of his rtponfcifil# office. The main plank in his platform is, as he expresses it, “a new deal In the city governmenthe also will work for better light* and better streets, two tilings that should distinguish a city from a cross roads If it cun be mad# practic «ble any way, be will favor electric Isghte. As the new commute#* will be announced on n«tt Tuesday night. there is coneiderabl# •pecalatlon as te their complexion. The foi lowing la about the way the Mpwa figoraa out some of them: II. C. Burr, of course, will be chairman of the finance committee. M. F. Morris will be chairman of the fire depart¬ ment and public printing committees. The chairmanships of the street committee and the police committee will lie between Morris and Dr. Moore. Thelater will also becliair- man of the sanitary committee. J.II. Pew- ell will be chairman of the nuisance commit te» and will he second on the fire committee. 8 H. Deane will he chairman of the commit¬ tee on pumps and wells and J. Q. VYord chair man of the cemetery committee. This arrangement is not official, hut wr give it to our readers confidentially as some ! hin<* to appease their curiosity until the of¬ ficial announcement is made. MOliltlllLl-: niSCOVKRY.

New York, Dec. 8.—[Special. |—Can anybody tell what all tbi- newspaper taik about the causes of th<- president's defeat means With one state (t 'oloradoi estimated, the popular plurality for Mr. Cleveland over Gen. Harrison in the union is 08.- j 204. hi 1881, by the Tribune's figures, his plurality was only 88.005 In the northern states Harrison's vote I *8 4.044,908 an I Cleveland's vote is 8,- j 605.740. Hence the republican vote in j | the north is 160.157 larger than the dem¬ ocratic vote, in a total of . ,080,041. j In the southern states Cleveland's vote is 1.020.757 and Harrison's 1,858,890. The j democratic vote in the south is, there¬ fore. 507.801 larger than me republican vote, in a total of 3,274.150. Not only did (Cleveland gain over Ins | vote of 1884, but !h ngs point more ] strongly than ever to one of Mr. Blaine - j political revolutions -rever ed. , j Florida is more strongly democratic, • than formerly, the democratic majority being 12,902 this year, against only 2.735 . in 1884. But in Virginia the republicans ! ; are only beaten by 1.539 votes, and in I West Virginia by a meagre 839 inajori j J tv. ty is In this Maryland 6,182, the democratic in a total plurali- vote of j ; year it 11.233. in j 210,920. while in 1884 was a J total of 185,956. j In the north, however, there are signs j of revolution in some former the republican | strongholds. In Michigan republican j plurality is 22,903, in a total vote 475,195, while in 1884.it was 42,834. in a total vote of 403,150. The Ohio plurality is reduced from 31,802 fuur years ago, to 19,599 this year, while the total vote is increased 55.751. In California the re¬ publican plurality is 7.080, against 12,128 m DM. Rhode Island now gives only 4,427 plu j ratity for Harrison, and when the disa¬ bilities of voters are removed the state j will probably tie democratic. New j Hampshire reduces its plurality to 7,37", or nearly one-half. In Indiana, the meagre republican plurality of 2,348, de¬ spite the local interest in the candidate, gives promise of democratic ascendancy in the future. In the words of Jos* McDonald, I am “sick and tired of things political," but it ia a mystery to me why New York s repudiation of < loveland should lie term¬ ed hie defeat “by the people," when his popular majority is nearly one hundred thousand. An Buckeyes Ohio politician who *av* that influential among i the are very in the council* of Ben Harrison is the bouncing Field Marshal Murat Halstead, of Cincinnati. It seems that from away back the president-elect has been a stu¬ dious reader and steady admirer of the Held marshal s organ, the Commercial Gazette, and that he follows in great part the opinions proclaimed by it. He looks for its views every day before be gives his own, and watches the motions of his leader before taking a step him self. It m alleged that (©bn «', New. of the indtauapoii* Journal, follows is Brother Halstead's wake Ai d vfcV^bod' know s ot urotner .sew s ciose rotations with Gen.

Don Oliva is the i riminal judge for the district designated a* Iji Cathedral. The package ivas addresaad to “Do¬ mingo Oliva. Handing the iiackage to a servant the negro requested that it lie delivered to Senor Oliva. Then liedis appeared. I he package was sot on a parlor table, where a few moments later Mrs. Clotilda Oliva, the judges wife, and their 17- and year-old dauglit r. Gabriela. found it began to admire its beauty. The younger lady tried to open the desk w ith the little key mentioned above, but she bad so little success that she handed the key over to her mother, requesting her to try her skill. Mr*.

Oliva found herself bathed in blood. The desk contained an infernal ma¬ chine. intended, without doubt to mur¬ der Oliva.
