Griffin is the county seat of Spalding coun-
ty, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a
healthy,fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet
above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will hav* at alow estimate between 6 000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any Ires wel-
tome if they bring money to help build up the
town. Thera is abont only one thing we
need badly jnst now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited tor our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion tor a hotel in the South, just mention

A Scandal Stirred Up in the Cincinnati
Revenue Office.
Cincinnati, May 6.—The Evening Post
published the following:
“The scandal in the internal revenue office
is the talk of the city. Collector Bishop
maintains his apparent composure, and af¬
fects to be unconcerned in the midst of the
many damaging charges made against his
employes. One of the most damaging fea¬
tures of the affair is the part Harry Bishop,
the son of the collector, has been playing.
Harry Bishop appears to hold ah unofficial
position in the internal revenue office, and
has been making a great deal of money out
of it.
“Collector Bishop admits that Harry
Bishop was employed by the storekeeper and
gangers to examine and correct their reports
before they were sent to Washington, for
which he received pay from the men.
Michael Crotty, formerly deputy collector,
but at present a ganger, charges that there
has been a ring in the collector’s office, com¬
posed of Harry Bishop, June Dunbar, Capfc lion’s
Shinkle and others, who demanded the
share of the “extra” money made by the
gangers. “Ail he said, made

age of $50 a month extra. Gut of this
Harry Bishop and the ring would demand
#40. This extra money was made by saving
the rectifier the tax on the fractional gallon
|n the barrel gauged. Distillers and recti¬
fiers who handle several hundred barrels a
day can afford to pay the gauger a small
fee on each barrel, making a good sum in
the aggregate for the gauger, and of course
leaving a large profit to the distiller. It was
a share of this money Crotty says Harry
Bishop receivod.
“A special grand jury has been summoned
to investigate the matte:'.”

DOU BLE HANG ING.
Two Negro Murderers Meet Death Bravely
at Emporia, Vo.
Petbp,h8ubg, Vo., May 6.—Emporia, in
Greenville county, was tbo scene Friday of a
double hanging, something that has not oc¬
curred iu Virginia before for many year*.
fttoSt
tons were Anthony ParfiOm, colored,
Emerson Mason, colored. Williams can¬
didly confessed to the murder of Mason, and
said toe act was the result of an old grudge.
The prisoners walked with a steady gait to
toe scaffold, in a corner of toe jail yard, and
ascended it with firm and unfettering steps,
exhibiting little or no nervousness or excite¬
ment When they had ascended the plat¬
form of the scaffold they were asked by toe
sheriff if they desired to eay anything, and
their reply was: “We have no ill feeling
against any man, and are prepared to die.”
The black caps were adjusted, and at forty
minutes past 13 o’clock toe trap was sprung,
and toe two men were launched into etern¬
ity.. Both men’s necks were broken. The
fell was about four feet.
The banging was witnessed by about
twentv-ftve persons. Outside of the jail
there was an immense crowd of whites and
blacks, who had come from all sections of
toe county to witness toe hanging, but only
to be disappointed, as a^iigb fence had been
built around the jail to prevent a view of
toe execution by outsiders.
The crime for which Walter Harris for¬
feited his life was committed Nov. 13,1888.
He and his victim, Anthony Parham, bad
always been on friendly terms, both of
them having been employed on the farm of
Mr. T. T. Gaskins, of Greene county. The
motive which prompted Harris to kill Par¬
ham was to come in possession of #90 which
be knew Parham bad iu his pocket. The
murder was committed while Parham was
eating his breakfast, which and toe weapon used
was an ax, with Harris almost cleft
Parham’s head from his bbdy.
Robert Williams killed his victim, Emer¬
son Mason, colored, on the morning of the
33d of Fobruary of this year, while he was
asleep in a bed. The weapon with which he

The Committees Trying to Find Oat How
Httch It Cost—A Leak Sold to Exist
Somewhere, hat the Question is: WhereV
New York, May ft—What did toe greet
show oostl The committees are trying to
find out. '' •• , -
The state appropriated #70,800 for toe use
of the committee, and the city contributed
#75,000. Private subscriptions amounted to
#42,000. About 330 banquet tickets at #35
each added *8,000 to toe fund, 5,230 ball
tickets at #10 each added #52,000, Tto to-
come from the sale of grand stand lean will
reach about #80,000. This would be a total
of #897,000. The stands brought to more
than #50,000 to somebody.
There is a leak somewhere. It is alleged
that ticket-takers made almost as much
money as the committee. It is believed that
#297,000 will cover toe committee’s expendi¬
tures. The military parade cost the com¬
mittee over #100,000, and toe rivie parade
less than #30,000, The fireworks cost #15,030,
toe naval parade cost #5,000, the reception
at toe Equitable building about #0,000, In¬
cluding #450 worth of flowers on the presi¬
dent’s table.
The ball and banquet were expected to cost
#60,000, but far exceeded the estimate. An
extra #30,000 was reserved for emergency.
This fund will be nearly nil used to squaring
accounts. Then the state of New York paid
»125,00u to get tits state militia here and
130,000 for the use of the Grand Amy. So
tost New York paid over #443,000 to contri¬
butions for.ber fun.
Manager Hain, of toe Manhattan elevated

Condition of Business as Reported by R»
G. Dun * Company,
Nsw York, May 8.—H. G. Dun ftp Com-
Tho uii P r<>cft ~
rial preparations and celebration, has made
toe week nearly a blank in commercial and
financial respects. At New York, accumu¬
lated orders gave a surface appearance of
greater activity on Thursday and Friday,
but it is yet too soon to judge which way
toe’trade will turn, and the reports from
other dtiee, though nearly all hopeful to
tone, do not indicate toe expected improve¬
ment. "
The situation seems better at Milwaukee,
satisfactory branches, at Omaha, good at Cleveland as
to most but. questionable ns to
iron; rather dull at Kansas City and St
Paul, and less encouraging at toe chief cen¬
ters of the grain, iron, coal and feather
trades. Collections are “far from satisfac¬
tory" at Milwaukee, slow not improved at De¬
troit, and rather in groceries, tobacco
and wooden ware at Philadelphia, bat in
other lines there, and at other cities gener¬
ally, they teem fairly satisfactory, and at
New York some dry goods dealers complain
toot collection* are “too good," buyers keep
«o far within means. Reports abont the
wool trade are contradictory; here prices
are lowor, but Philadelphia reports more
tales and prospect of an advance.
Wheat goes lower yet, having sold at two
and one-fourth cents and corn has declined
three-fourths, and oats one cent tinea last
week. Dreams of successful corners prior to
July are still cherished, but aU the facts of
the present situation make the attempt ap¬
pear extra haphazard. Pork is unchanged,
with lard and hogs a shade higher, coffee
and sugar arc unchanged, but oil an eighth
Ktgher. In general, too course of prices still
tends downward, but many products of
large importance are now so low that not
much further decline is expected, while a
quick advance might follow a revival of de¬
mand or speculative confidence.
The business failures occurring through¬
out the country during the last seven days,
as reported by Mercantile telegraph to B, ft Dun *
Company, the agency, number
for the United States, 110, and for Canada,
29, or a total at 214, as compared with a
total of 213 last week, and 34ft toe week

year the figures were 234, made
