From the Kufaula Bulletin we
learn that a very eevere cyclone
passed. below Etifaula Monday
morning about S'o’clock. Several
people were Idjlo^and many bounce
were destroyed.
Oovernor Hoadly Is decidedly
for Payne’s nomination to the preal-
dency. He so announced hlmsett
to a Cinolnnatl Enquirer corres
pondent while in Chicago last week.
Qo added hla belief that Ohio
would go Democratic In October If
the right man was nominated, aud
that Payne was the right man.
The great fast mail between At
lanta and Macon has a ’record ol
nearly twenty-live miles an hour.
The‘.‘Flying Dutchman,” a broad
gauge train of England, regularly
makes I9flf miles at the rate of
45.8 miles an hour, nearly double
the titoe of the great fast' mail,
aud the “Flying Scotchman.” a
narrow gauge train, makes 48.3
miloa an hour. ,
A. K. Module, of the Philadel
phia Times, “and other influential
Pennsylvania Democrats, have des
paired of gaining the presidency
under the present promising aspect
of revenue refonn. Wo shall bo
sorry to lose Pennaylvanis, but
this sorrow la somehow mitigated
by the (act that It rever goes Dem
ocratic, anyhow. Possibly it is
welt to give the people aehow even
if the parly be not aa suecesful as
it always baa liecn (?) under the
lead of tho Pennsylvania protec
tionists.
There Is ono peculiarity about
tho postal oaril reply business that
atrikes the average newspaper
render. No matter how many
“prominent oitUena” of a slate are
interviewed aa to their prelerenoe
of a presidential candidate, a ma
jority of them are invariably in
favor of the candidate which the
Jaipur they answer favors, and be
lieves should bo the nominee. The
paper evidently knows whom to
sec, nr in what shape to present
the question.
THE RAIliKVAII MEETING.
From the proceedings of the rail-
roed meeting held on Monday,
which are piitilislied in our local
columns, it would seem that the
people of this city mean busineaa in
their Whirls to gain an outlet to
the East. The meeting waa at
tended by the largest business men
in this city, and a lively interest
was manifested. As the matter
has already been thoroughly dis
cussed in these columns, there is
little left to say. As the matter
atands now, Americoa must and
will have a competitive outlet to
the East.
Tile null-monopolists want a
showing in the next Presidential
cam|iaign. They have issued a call
for a national convention to be held
at Chicago on the 14tb of May.
The quota of representation baa
)<con arranged nn<( will be four del
egates anil four alternates from
each Congressional district, (our
from each territory aud four from
the DUtriul of Columbia. Politi
cal economy should suggest to the
anti-inouoplista that their wants
would be entirely met by the suc
cess of the Democratic party.
The New York Evening Post has
left Arthur and Blaine in the lurch
and come out with a hurrah for Ed
munds. It
CARLULPH SPEECH.
To Democrats who are Demo-
orata fro jo conviction, and because
they believe the party name stands
priuciufcs and a policy, Car-
iale’^peiytp (ll of en<»ui
I
publican organa have been deafen
ing the ears of the publlo with ilmlr
clamorous decorations tbs'
Democrats In Congress ha
frightened off from- their d
for tariff reform, aud that the lend
ers tbemaelvea are getting *esdy to
hedge. Ae a matter of feet, how
ever, the tone of Speaker Carlisle's
speech delivered after; nearly foua
months of “pressure," in notably
Armor sud more decided than that
of tbe speeches which be delivered
on accepting the nomination for
speaker and on Assuming the apeak-
era ehair.
Faetfon, calumny, and menace
have done their worst; hut Mr.
Carlisle still stands -qnnreiy upon
tbe platform on which lie won the
s|ieakerahip contest, and is even
more ready loavowit. Hi*speech
L a commanding vindication of the
pri'ieiples and jioliuy of imitf re
form; apd “revenue for public pm-
pos-M only" is as good campaign
cry ns (he coming appeal to the
people.
We put on our sliidyiug cap the
other night end uommeno.il think
ing about who should represent
this Congressional District in the
National Democratic Convention,
and calling to mind the fact that
Houston is now in our District, we
decided that Col. C. C. Duncan, of
that oounty, would make an
acceptable delegate. Col. Duncan
is able (financially) to make tbe
trip, and beside*, a better ,nnn
could not bo found in tbe District.
We are entitled to two delegates,
and a* tho wostern portion of ttie
District lias the Congressman, it
has been suggested that our friends
over there might be magnanimous
enough to let us linvo the two dele
gates to the National convention.
We wish It distinctly understood
that there is nothing Hellish about
this Niiggestion..llutvkin*vlllo News
No, there is nothing saltish about
that! If the cast side of the dis
trict will wii.ulrnw tliclr oanditnles
for Congressman, and allow the
west side a walk ovar, it would
sound bolter.evoaifil wasn’t scllish.
It is probable that tile Democrata of
tho district may cans more about
the oharaoter of tho delegates and
their sentiments on the tariff ques
tion, than aa to wbnt portion of tbs
district they live in. So far as
Col. Duncan’s flnanoial ability to
make tho trip Is eoneerned, there
are plenty of men in the distrlot
who are willing to pay the expenses
of a trip to Chicago.
The idea that N ew York Is a
pivotal State in the Presidential
election is being abandoned by the
Republicans. Every week makes
it more doubtful whether they ean
carry tbf State. Tliia fact mote
than anything else will militate
against Arthur in the Chicago Con
vention. The Republican party
will not like to nominate a man
who can't depend oil the electoral
vote of li is own State. 11 the Pres,
blent can assure the convention
that lie can carry New York he may
lie certain of tho nomination.
Honesty is the best policy. The
Democrats or Bath, Me., made their
light this year on tariff reform, and
carried the city for the lirat time
in thirty years.

The third richest man in the
lomflT John Jacob Astor, the
iaMwofl and heir of the Astor
Hate. Unlike many millicW§M
Astor has both name and riches—
a name linked with fabulowe wealth
atacgarjgflB
from $90,000,000 to $100,-
080,000 a veritable mountain of
S old. John Jacoo and William
I. are lu sole owners, the former's
Intersst said to be two-thirds.'^'
For nearly a century tbe title of
being “the landonUof New York”
hat attached itsflf to them. John
Jacob’s intiresta In houses, lots,
and farms may be computed in tbe
Ihonunda.
Among the valuable buildings
principally ownad by Mr. Astor as
chief heir to the estate is the o|d
landmark, the Astor house, whieh
was sold to bis father by bis grand
father, tbe founder of tbe immense
estate, for $1. Its present value ia
about I2.00U,000,sanded at $1,750,-
000. The Guarantee and Indemni
ty building, chiefly owned by Mr.
A-tor, was puieliased a short time
ago for $1,000,000, while tbe Astor
estate pays taxes on $50,000,000 of
real estate situated below Cham
bers street most of which consists
ofhuisness Ileuses on Broadway
and Wall streets. There is scarce
ly a ward, street or avenue in the
city in which Mr. Astor docs not
own real estate, on which the total
amount of taxes is over $400,000 an
nually.
Another point of difference be
tween Mr. Astor and other mil
lionaires is in his investment. In
Wall street his name never appears
as a speculator and seldom as an
investor or seller of st-:ck, bonds
or other similar securities Hav
ing an income of 10 per cent on tbe
gross amount invested in real es
tate, he chiefly buys more houses
or lands when opportunity Tor
good Investment offers. In an inven
tory tnadu of.bis varioui properties
an item of $6,090,000 in cash ap
peared as “money in trust compa
nies and hanks wai'.ing investment
in real estate.”
Mr. Astor is a man of striking
personal appearance, being over
six feet in height, stout, somewhat
inclined to corpulence and strn'gbt
a- an arrow. When on the street
Ids quick, elastic step mid smiling
face fringed with small, gray side-
whiskers, invariably attract atten
tion. Ills dress is simple and sur
prisingly neat. At business or on
the street lie wears a hioaiielnUi
cut away or frock cost, with pants
to match, comfortable looking
shoes always lightly polished, while
in his band usually swings as he
walks a large, purple umbrella.
In summer bis costurac'is changed
to a black sorgo coat and pants of
some lighter color, while an easy
straw bat rests lightly on bis ivory
white hair.
Mr. Astor, though seldom speak
ing of himself, recently told a friend
that although he bad completed
three soore{years, be felt as well and
hearty ns he did at forty. Benevo
lence ia his striking characteristic,
one probably inherited from the
founder of the Astor library.
Many of Ills charities are published,
though the aetual amount of good
done with his ever ready check book
is little known. In ni-arlv all tbe
charitable institutions of this citv
the names of himself or wife, and
often jointly, appear as large givers.
During the wintertnonlhsMr. Astor
ia cither at hisofllecnt No. 31 West
Twenty-sixth street, or his home, at
No. 3.78 Fifth avenue. The latter is
familiar to nearly every resident of
Fifth avenue aud is conspicuous for
nothing but its plainness and the
spacious ground which surround it.
It is built of line moulded brick
with trimmings of brown stone, and
bas a double stairway to tbe front
entrance. Tho interior compares
favorably with any palace.
During tbe late illness of his wife,
Mr. Aslor’stime wasjcbiefly devoted
to cheering her weary hours at the
bed-side with the same untiring af
fection tic has shown throughout the
many years ot his inairieri life.His
principal recreations are visits to his
elegant country scat at Rbeinc-
cliffe-on-the. Hudson, and yalching.
The country seat is an ancient-look
ing establishment keep in the finest
older, and is n reminiscence of olden
time. Well shaded with trees of
every kind, its immense lawns and
gardens arc traversed bv long drives
and walks. .

It is a well known fact in trade thK to secufe tbe" very LOWEST
POSSIBLE PRICES one mutt BUY LAtffBLY, and for CASH,
and to sell CHEAP he must sell for CASH, or to parties “as good as
gold." Long credit to “Tom, Dick and Harry” wljl ruin the seller, or
force him to sell bis goods at high prices. We have been selling Pianos
and Organs for seven years, and our total losses In this branch of our
business is lesa than 8EYEWTY-j’IVE HOLLARS all told. This
shows the care 'with whieb we select our credits, consequently our
CASH CUSTOMERS don’t have to pay for bad debta.
We intend to materially increase our business in this department!
and give Lower Prices than over before, and to tilts cod our Ur. Jam as
Fsickbs baa made large contracts for Pianos and Organa for his store
in Danville, Va., and (or our atoie in Americus. Buying as we do for
| two bouses our purchases are large, and on (hat account we get better
prices than either of us could if we bought separately, and we are giving
our customers the benefit of it. We will give special prices on everything
now on baud to make room for a lot ol Organs now on the way.
