DAVID BENNETT HILL.
Senator Hill's nomination for Gov-
ornor of New Yoik la abigb cempllmen
to biro. It means that bo ia tie only
man wbo can coalotco tbe discordant

Mr. Hill was elected Governor of Xew

PRAISE FOl: I1ACON AND CRISP.
A writer on tbe Philadelphia Press
baa this to tay cf tbo Georgia senato
rial question:
Judge Turner is being aided in Lis
campaign by .Secretary Hoke Smith and
it Is exceedingly doubtful If Secretary
Smith's efforts can ba sa d to materially
help him. Judgo Turmr has declcn d
against tbo free coinage of silver, and
ia fortified In bis position by tbo Secre
tary of tbe Interior. It Is an unpopular
departure In Georgia, for tbe state bte
been long wedded to tbe 10 to 1 stand
ard. Col. Gartard's campaign will
amount to little beyond belpiug to bring
about a deadlock in the leglalatnre. Tt e
strongest avowed oandidato by all odds
is Maj. Bacon. Ho is not *s intellectual
as Judgo Turner, but be Is more affable,
more genial, ami Use far greater peiaonal
charm.
It ia impoisille to bo In Georgia a
week without realizing that Speaker
Crisp is by far tbe most popular man
there In public life, and one whom Geor
gia delights to honor. It will be remem
bered that when bo declined tbo ap-
S ointment tn the Sena'o be coupled with
le deciliatlona wish to tepr.aett tl e
Slate in the Senate at somo future time,
saying that It was tbo doarest wish of
bis heart. He has not entered Into tbe
race (cr tbe reason that he does not be
lieve that a man should make a canvass
for two different posts, lie baa accepted
tho nomit a I- n from bis district and
seem; pcifectly satisfied to keep tie
laurels which have always been so r el fi
tly given him. Moreover, the speaker
feels certain that tbe next House of
Rip isentativcs will be Demccratlc, and
in Lis opinion to lie Speaker of the
IIouso of Representatives Is greater tban
to lie a senator from Georgia.

great unanimity Tuesday, Tbo people

Hempius, Sept. 27.—News has reached
hero of the capture of tho Weaka still,
quo of the oldest wildcat stills tn Ten
nessee, located in Overton county, by
Deputy Marshal Curtis and two assist
ants. Old John Weaks used to operate
i still, and when he was away watch-
- the movement of tbe raiders hie
'e turned out tho ''mountain dew.”
e dally ontpnt was only seven gal
lons.
Nnmerovs attempts have been made
to oapturo tho still, bnt as the county is
filled with moonshiners and their sym
pathizers all previous efforts failed. The
still was destroyed, but no arrests were
le. The moonshiners are becoming
bold all over tho section, and in
many parts of tho mountain country
have been shooting the cattle turned ont
by peaceable citizens to graze, for fear
mat the owners, in looking for their
cattle, would d.iscover the stills,

A BOLD, BAD BOY.
Darlnj Attempt to Rob a RanU bj a
v Heardlcas Youth.
Mount Sterijno His., Sept. 27.—A
boy of 18 years, Ralph Conklin, siuglc-
honded robbed tho Bloomfield Skiles
bank here and compelled tho cashier to
hand over 8411. Conklin lives on a
farm near hero. On his way to town
he met Mack Dnubor, and at the point
of a pistol appropriated Dnnbor's horse
and came into Mount Sterling with a
mask ever his face. Tying his horso in
the renr of the bank ho entorod, and,
approaching Cashier Milstead, com
manded him to throw up his hands.
Without heeding his command, Mil-
stead took to bis heels and escaped by a
rear door. Conklin quickly pocketed all
tbe money in sight, and, passing ont
the rear door, mounted his horse. Ho
was nbont to ride away when Constable
Snodgrass arrived and pulled him to
the groniuL Conklin broke away, liow-
efir, and mu down tbo street. John
Nighswandcr, n citizen, tried to catch
Conklin, when ho drew bis revolver
dud fired, tho bullet passing through
Nlgbswauder’a coat. Conklin kept on
bis wild flight, and on reaching tho
court attempted to steal a horso and
cart, bnt was knocked down by a brick.
At this juncture n citizen drew a revol
ver and compelled tho yonng bandit to
surrender. The moitoy was recovcrod
and tho young outlaw placed in jail.
INDIAN DIES GAME.
The Plkeman and Ills Weapon.
Tho pikeman was covered with de-
fonsivo armor, an iron headpiece, iron
"bock and breast” and "tasses,” a kind
of iron apron protecting him from waist
to knee. Ho carried a pike 16 feet long,
with an ashen shaft, an iron head and a
blunt iron spike at the butt end, where
by to fix it in the ground, and besides
the pike a rapier.
The pike, from its great length, was
a weapon which required deft handling
in order to be of effective nse, and, as
may bo imagined, was excessively showy
on pnrado. Tho modern lance exerciao
is a pretty sight enough, bnt tho old
piko exercise, perfectly executed by a
largo body of mon, must bavo been sn-
,perh. Wo aro not surprised, therefore, to
find that tho postures or instructions for
this exercise aro extravagantly mlimtc.
To give one example, at the close of
tho instruction, on the word “Order
your pikes," wo find after a mass of
complicated details tho following con
clusion: “You placo tho butt end of
your pike by tho outside of your right
foot, your right hand holding it oven
With yonr eye and your thnmb right up;
then, your loft arm being set akimbo by
your side, you shall stand with a full
body in a comely posture. ”—Macmil

The Negro Murderer of m White Man In

Oskaloola, Sept. 27.—A coldblooded
murder occurred at the mining camp of
Evans. The victim of the tragedy was
Mut Smith, a white man, working on
tho Rock Island section. Tho murderer
is a negro tongh by tho tiame of Lewis,,
coiled “Ono-Armed Jack," who, in a
drunken spree, started in to do up the

Tho murder of Smith was unprovoked
and without cause, and was accom
plished by means of on ugly butcher
knife. Several deputy sheriffs had diffi
culty in bringing the assassin to jail in
Oslcaloosa, as tbo miners and section
men wanted to lynch the man on tho
spot. Lewis is now in jail, bnt fears
aro entertained that an armed mob wiil

New Uie For n Parrot.
The talents of parrots have, wc read,
jnst been turned in a new direction by
tho authorities of a French town. It has
hitherto been the habit to more or less
fritter away tbo intellectual force of par
rots by merely teaching them to say
naughty or witty things or to uso such
expressions as “Pretty Poll” or “Poor
fellow. ” Tho municipal authorities of
the town referred to have, porbaps tho
fntnro will prove, opened np a wider
field of action for tho parrot. Tho poor
box at tho town hail, it seems, hod for
a long timo past been in a condition of
chronia emptiness, which did not reflect
much credit on tho charitable feelings
of tho inhabitants. To remind them of
their duty toward their poorer neigh
bors a parrot was purchased, which has
been installed close to tbo hox and
trained to cry, “For tho poor, if yon
please.” It appears that tho result of
tho innovation has boon highly satisfac
tory, pence and silver coins having been
freely given in response to tho bird’s
appeal. Tho idea, ns is remarked, is
capable of being applied in a variety of
ways. To denote to tho passerby that ho
is in tho proximity of wet paint on any
shop front, parrots might ho used, or to
remind people on entering a houso to
wipo their feet on tho door mat beforo
going np st.-im tho bird's services could
bo employed, instead of tho time hon
ored placard, “Essuycz vos pieds, ». v.
p.,” to bo met with in French houses.
In faot, there may be a now opening for
parrots.—London Standard
no Wm Fed.
That old motto, “Whero there is a
will thore is n way,” tbongh now a lit
tle oat of fashlou, perhaps, and some
what exaggerated, ns is the ease with
mothers in general, is still expressive of
a truth.
Writing of oUl times at White Sul
phur springs, General Maury says there
were many complaints of the fare at the
hotel. Tho dignified proprietor used to
console his guests by remarking that
they really paid nothing for their din-
ners, but only for the wondorful sulphur
water which ho had discovered.
One day in the height of tho season,
when tiic crowd was great and tho serv
ice scanty, tho people in tho dining
room wero startled by heartrending
cries of "Murder, murder!" Steward
and servants rushed to the victim, who,
in answer to their esger inquiries, in
formed thorn that he conld get nothing
to eat and was dying of starvation.
That yonng man was served well and
promptly as long os ho remained.—
