MILLS IN DEFEAT.
Mills stood as tbongb petrified. Slow,
ly hit bead, iclth little jerks, bent for
ward and bis bands nervously clasped
before bim It was as If be bad bowed
to tbe inevitable. Men about bim moved
with sad faces and silent steps.
Tbe sight of Mills in tbe hour of de
feat affected every one In the room.
There was not a tremor in the stalwart
frame; be stood still, a statue of grief.
Some one in tbe crowd moved. He
could bear tbe painful sigbt no longer.
Colonel Morrison stepped forward and
Amerious, Ga., Deo. 11, 18il.
Mills is now ebarged with a dicker
with the Wall street anti-silver faction
Such is tbe penalty of being great.
Editob He.vuy P. Moose's sparkling
and epigrammatic paragraphs in the Ma
con Evening News have about them tbe
odor of that “indescribable something”
men call genius.
Il.umigo.v made a mlseue on Ills mes
sage to Congress. Tbe document was
prosy, Insipid and rotten to tbe core,
and suggested the mentel calibre of the
"little man under the bat” In all of Its
pigmy features.
Hon. John T. Boifecillet is
-candidate for speaker of the next bouse
«f representatives of Georgia. His ora
torical ability, parliamentary prowess
and comprehensive knowledge of poll
tics makes bim a formidable opponent to
any other aspiiant for tbe position.
Complaint Is made that Anglomania
prevailed at the recent New Tork horse
show, and that animals wearing English
bang-tails and with a ebekney gait bad a
decided advantage in the matter of
awards. Of course, a horso with a wes
tern accent in his whinsy' bsdn't much
show.
- We would very much like to see a late
picture of Speaker Crisp in order to see
what sort of s looking man he is. Our
esteemed contemporary, the Picayune,
presents him on its first page this morn
ing as quite a handsome young man
with a dapper moustache, and neatly
combed locks brushed back from his
brow, while the artist in the Timea-
Democrat makes him appear as a stout,
bald-headed man with a double chin.
Either tbe pictures have been mixed in
the offices of our contemporaries or
Judge Crisp has outgrown recently bis
hair and old clothes —New Orleans
Dally States.
New Totk newspaper circlet are Agog
over the adroit and neat financial maneu
vers of one Cludlus B. Lassell, a cheor-
ful and picturesque scamp, a sort of
smiling ^illian, who cultivated a mania
for scattering broad-cast over the coun
try bis [autograph—or alias—in shape
of checks for valuables. But the clever
Mr. Lassell made a false step when he
betook himself to a hospital in the hope
ofelemating surplua alcohol from his
system, and In so doing he wrought bis
own soul's undoing. He facetiously
registered his address si No. 810 Madi
son Avenue, the home of President
Cleveland. He was unmasked, and
though undismayed, be smiles through
the bars of a cell in Brooklyn, where he
can no longer ply his “shrewd avoca-
cation” In exercising his ingenuity in
passing or kiting his own ebooks that
some “Nspoleon of finance" might well
choose as a medal.
gently laid his hand on bis friend's
shoulder. At tbe toneb Mills drew him-
self up, and taking Morrison's hand said
“It’s all right Tbe other man has
won."
Then, with head erect, with a stride
little more swinging than usual he has
tened into the House, and walking up to
Crisp grasped him cordially by tbe hand
and congratulated him more warmly
perhaps than any one else on tbe victory
be bad won.
Men In commenting on tbe way Mills
took bis defeat called bim a manly man
and have no rash things to say about
him. Tbe story of tbe day—bow the
battle was fought and bow It was woo
ls full of absorbing interest Exoite-
ment ran high in clubs, in all tbe de
partments and In tbe hotels where bulle
tins giving the ballots were displayed 1
There were crowds about the telegraph
offices, and the bulletin board; In front
of the newspaper offices held Interested
throngs all day in spite of tbe rain.
Great as was the interest of tbe general
public it was nothing compared to tbe
excitement that prevailed among the
democratic representatives on whose
votes the result depended —Herald.
ON A TEAR.
Araericus has gone raving, staving
mad with joy over the nomination of
Judge Crisp for the. Speakership. Col.
Ingersoll Wade of Tbe Times-Rkcobdkr
reached Macon yesterday astriue of the
locomotive ' The engineer says he
polled the whistle every step from
Americas to Macon. He ambled Into
the News office, bis face and hands be
grimed with dirt and dust, and his
touseled hair streaming in the fresh,
Crisp atmosphere, and a strange, wild
light gleaming from his erstwhile sad
and perhaps pensive eyes. Sinklng’into
tbe sanctum chair, his nerveless fingers
grasped the pen and the following in
discretion exudedr
“Kit tbs sons and blow the trunieet.
Get s big bass drum sndtbnmplt;
Who don’t like It let him lump It—
Orlsp has won tbe stake.”
A bichloride of gold cocktail from
Williams' exchange dispensary was
quiokly administered and he soon re
vived. He returned to Amerious by the
next train and at last accounts was In a
fair way for recovery.—Macon Evening
News
TKK GLORIOUS CONGRESS
GRACEFULLY ACCEPTED.
The Democratic newspapers of New
Tork were practically solid against Crisp
for the Speakership, with the exception
of tbe Sun, which espoused the cause of
no candidate, preferring to leave the
matter entirely to the Democrats of the
- House.
But Crisp's election could not have
been more gracefully accepted if the
metropolitan newspapers had been for
him from the first. These sturdy cham
pions of Democracy, one and' all, hear
tily congratulate Speaker Crisp upou his
suocess, and unanimously predict for
him a wise and conservative career in
his new field of action.
Our New Tork contemporaries express
no vain regrets. The choice of the party
is their choice, and they urge both wings
of the Democracy to flap ' together at
once. This is manly and sensible. It Is
the good old-fashioned way.—Atlanta
Constitution.
ELECTROCUTION.
Martin D. Loppy, wife murderer, en
tered the electric chair In Sing Sing
Prison at noon Monday and died in six
minutes.
There were three ooutaets of tbe cur
rent, lasting in all nearly fifty seconds.
Sights that were painful to unpractised
eyes were witnessed.
The man still breathed at tbe end of
tbe .first contact. The electricity had
evidently contracted his muscles, and as
they relaxed when the current had left
him tbe body seemed to move and be
coming to life. At the end of the second
Cuu'iAa.1 there wao a. uuticeable pulsation
and In the second and third contacts
were plain evidences that tbe current
was burning the flesh at the points where
It entered the body.
Tbe autopsy revealed deep burns,
seared marks, blisters and other disfig
urements.
In spite of these facts the experts de
clare that tbs execution was successful
and the man was unconscious after the
first shock.
Now we sland upou tbe horde;
or the dolnssof a Congress,
Huflb as w* bars never heard ul:
Suen as we had never thought of;
Bueh a Congress as some Congress
