This waa settled yesterday morning, and the detalla of the new partnership were given to the buslncse world. Public Interestin the succession to the old firm of Moore, Marsh & Co , has been greater in Atlanta than that over any other event that has occurred for many years. This old and reliable firm has held such a prominent place in the esteem of the trade throughout the southern states that every one will be gratified by the announcement that the men who have been so largely instru mental in its success are to remain in active business, and at the same old stand. The new Arm is composed of Messrs. E. W. Marsh, John A. Smith and Mc Allen B. Marsh, general partners, and Hugh T. Inman, special partner. None of these gentlemen need an in troduction to the merchants or people generally of the south. Mr. E. W. Marsh has been, ever since the foundation of the firm of Moore A Marsh many years ago, universally recognized as one of the strongest merchants of the south. Mr. Smith has been long a member of the present Arm, while Mr. McAllen Marsh is everywhere recognized as one of the beat young business men in the south, and has been one of the active members of the present firm. The fact that Mr. Hugh Inman ie to be largely Interested as a special partner in the new firm would be a strong endorse ment of any firm. The following gentlemen, who have been long connected with the old firm, and who are well known to the trade, will have an Interest in the profits of the business: Messrs. Henry Dawson, Wil liam Eckford, Frank Perryman, Frank Baker, Lawson Stapleton, Henry Wyatt and Eugene Callaway. Mr. Lawson Stapleton has many friends and relatives in Amerlcus who wllljbe glad to learn of thle well-de served piece of good fortune, even though it be only a Just recognition of his merits and value. Mr. Stapleton, as a traveling salesman has few equals in this section, and bis business acquaint ance] extends over a wide territory, throughout which he hat hosts of friends, and commands a large Influence. The new firm In retaining the Interest of Mr. Stapleton hoe secured a valuable busi ness associate. While the old firm of Moore, Marsh A Co., dealt In dry goods, notions, boots and shoes and hats, the new firm will make a specialty, and deal only in shoes, notions and white goods. The new firm will confine Itself strictly to these lines, occupying the entire building. The firm of Marsh, Smith A Marsh succeeds the oldest wholesale dry goods establishment in the state, the old firm having been founded over forty years ago. The record of the old firm Is as good as can be attained In commercial elroles. The new firm will begin Janu ary let, and will have the prestige of the old firm to back It The gentlemen forming it have almost unlimited capital, and if practical common sense wise judgment eneigy and push can bring success to the honest toilers, the gentle men will not only uphold the prestige of the old firm, but will surpass it reaching out into newer and higher fields. The Immense seven-story building at the corner of Edgewood avenue and Pry or street possesses every facility for car rying on the great business which the firm will undoubtedly do. The following well-known salesmen who have been connected with the old firm of Moore, Marsh A Co. will remain with the new firm of Marsh, Smith A Marsh: Messrs. Louis Hess, Jack Farns worth, Eugene Harris, Will Cotter, Britt Stamps, Ed Hornady, Lyman Raleigh, Bob Stokes, B. Sharp, Will Crowley, John Hudson. In the departments the firm will con tinue, Marsh, Smith A Marsh will carry with them all the men of these depart ments in the old establishment The present firm dissolves January let, and the new will begin on that day. Nolle# to Stockholders. The ninth call of ten per cent upon the capital stock of the Amerlcus Manu facturing and Improvement Company has been made, and will be payable at the office of the treasurer, at the People’s National Bank December let, 1801. Joux Windsor, Treasurer. nov.7 td. BREAKFAST TABLE CHAT. A Few Ite’nt Gathered up and Placed Un der One Head. Read the advertisement of Col. E. 6. Simmons for sale of a gray pony. The police made a raid yesterday upon about seven negro gamblers, but as suffi cient evidence for conviction was lack ing, the gang was discharged. Mr. Autrey advertises this morning for a lost buggy, and Mr. D. W. Bagley for a lost horse. Curious coincidence. The same thief has probably stolen both. The rain yesterday, commencing in the morning about 1 o'clock and lasting intermittently until 8 o'clock, was a per fect god-send, both to vegetation and the atmosphere. Mr. Thornton Wheatley who has re cently enjoyed the pleasure of seeing the ‘‘Fat Man’s Club” bestowB upon it the highest praise as being a. clean, interesting and excruciatingly funny show. Should the president issue his procla mation appointing a day of national thanksgiving, the date will probably be the 20th lust., and The Tiues-Recor- iier would suggest that the business houses be closed and the clerks given a deserved and needed holiday. Last night after the opera the young ladles and tbelr escorts were Invited to attend a German at the Club rooms,com plimentary to Mr. E. A. Hawkins, Jr , who left on the 3 o'clock north-bound train. Although tho afiair was strictly Impromptu, and the participants were in street costume, itjwas moat enjoyable. Mr. W. K. Wheatley was the leader. From Oglethorpe. Oglethorpe, Ga., November 10.— The Superior Court of Macon county was convened this morning at 10 a. m., promptly, with the Hon. W. H. Fish on the bench. This being Judge Fish's first sitting in his own county, quite a large concourse of the citizens of the surrounding coun try were In attendance to listen to his charge to the grand jury. His Honor’s charge, whilst full, was commended on all sides for Its pains taking lucidness, leaving no matter of Import a matter of doubt in the minds of the grand jury. At noon Judge Boynton of the Flint circuit took the bench in order to facil itate the progress of many cases in which Juoge Fish was disqualified by reason of his connection as attorney. Amerlcus bar is represented here by a fall team: Cols.

The regular meeting of the board.of directors of the Times Publishing Com pany, which was not held yesterday evening owing to the absence of a quo rum, is hereby called to meet at the edi torial rooms of The Times-Recorder at O'clock this morning. A full meeting is requested, as busi ness of importance is to be considered. J. W. Wheatley, President. Bascom Myrick, Secretary. A Beautiful Display. There are few establishments of the kind In the State of Georgia which can compare in point of completeness and style of stock with the haberdashery of W. D. Bailey, in the new Hotel Windsor on Jackson street, and yesterday pas sers-by were particularly struck with the beauty and graceful arrangement of the contents of the handsome show windows. Umbrellas and walking canes in new and novel designs, and at almost any price; ties in the utmost profusion and of a be wildering variety of cost and pattern; linen, hosiery and general furnishing goods to suit any taste, while the as sortment of stylish blocks in the cele brated Knox hat did good to the eye of he wboee pet hobby Ilea In head-gear.

A Few Facts. The Fidelity Is the strongest, safest, ebeapest and neat insurance known. « W. T, A, Dunn, Agent.. "Poor Jonathan." There have been few attractions In the history of Glover’s opera house deserv ing of higher praise than the Conried Opera Uompan’s rendition last night of “Poor Jonathan." To individualize would be almost in vidious, as each and every member of the large company Is an artist, yet the singing of Miss Rita Selby, as “Harriet” and Mr. J. Aldrich Libby as “Rubygold" are deserving of more than ordinary en- contain. The duet betweeu these two was perhaps the feature of the whole and most excellent performance. The audience, while of a high class, waa not so good as this company deserves, tar there was throughout the' whole enter tainment no single objectionable feature. The costumes were irreproachable, and while “Poor Jonathan" abounds in humor there was not the slightest sug gestion of vulgarity. “What a piece of work is man I how noble In reason, in form and moving,” unless he has rheumatism, then he loses his god-lUce grace and limps sadly through the world.

A Puzzling Case to the Medical Fraternity -The Child Still 8!e<ping Heavily and ail Attempt# to A waken Her ol No Avail '—A Curious Cave. gAbout two weeks ago the little three- year-old daughter of Mr. Geo. W. Poole of this city was taken with whooping cough, which was successfully treated by Dr. L. M. McLendon, after her recovery she was seized with chills and these were broken by the samo physician. She went to sleep, apparently In perfect health, six days ago and since then has been buried in profound slumber, from which all efforts to arouse her have prov en ineffectual. Almost all of the phi si- cians have been consulted and find them selves powerless to break this sleep, which, if continued, must end in the death of the child. There seems to be nothing wrong with the patient save the deep unbroken slumber which has seized upon her, the pulse being healthily normal, with an entire absence of fever. The attending physicians say that unless something can be done to arouse her she must surely die, and hare tried every means In their power without effect. The little girl was a bright, healthy child, the light and life of her homo and evinced no peculiarity which made her different from other children of the same age. This somnolent affection sometimes occurs to adults, but there are recorded few, If any, instances of the disease among young children. Boles' Big Victory. Des Moines, Ia., November 10 —The official canvass of dates was made yes terday day the county board of super visors. Returns are coming in slowly. The state register has heard from about sixty counties out of ninety-nino. Governor Boies’ plurality will be between 8,000 and 0,000. In some counties Sabin, for state superintendent of instruction, ran 5,000 ahead of Wheeler, republican can didate for governor. If this rate is kept up Sabin will be elected by a small plurality. Other republican candidates on the state ticket It ia thought cannot fall through. Youthful Burglars.
