The Rev. Thomas Oaf lor lias crowned
bis long list of sacrifices for Sewatiee by
refusing the bishopric of Georgia’
Sewanee is beside itself with excite
ment this morning. Hells have been
ringing and the most uncontrollable
emotion is exhibited on all sides.
The students and people vie with
each other in attempting to show* their
love and devotion to the one man who
has thought it worth while to lay his
life and talents upon the altar of .Se-
wance’s good.
With tears In bis eyes Mr. (Jailor told
the boys thisfniorning that there were
some things that were greater than
wealth, than honor, than ambition, and
prayed God they would learn that
Wesson.
He said, too, that the people of the
south would find out that Sowanco and
her aims were worthy of being i.acri
Deed for.
The exercises of the university h|ve
been suspended, and to-night three hun
dred students will give vent to their
feelings and testify their abiding love
for a man whose heart beats so warmly
for them/
Georgia has lost a noble bishop, but
the University of the South lias gained a
splendid future.
Mr. Gailoi's letter to the committee,
9 declinitig to accept the bishopric on the
ground that ho felt that duty demanded
hint to remain at Sewanee, has just
been forwarded. A convention to elect
his successor will probably be held iq
Atlanta within three weeks.
A cyclone passed near Leesburg Fri
day afternoon. The furious wind was
accompanied by rain and hail and much
damage resulted. A mule and a horse I t j i(; a j ar
belonging to Hill Daniel, colored, were
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
The hands who w r ere plowing them had
scarcely hitched the animals under
tree and ran in a house near by when
the fatal stroke came. Lightning also
struck the colored Methodist church, 1 ^ car t j ie j
tearing the front end entirely away.
The barn, stockade and gin house of
Mr. K. A. Forrester were blown down,
as was a large amount of fencing on his
place. Watermelons, cotton and corn
on the places of Messrs. K H. Martin,
J. W. Forrester, A. H. Duncan, K. A.
Forrester and I). A. Kagan, which were
in the path of the storm, were well nigh
ruined by the bail, wind and rain.
Hoads in the track of tho storm were
completely blocked by fallen timbers.

The alarm of lire which was sounded
early yesterday morning was caused by
the burning or Ms Wade Keese’s barn,
which was consumed together with its
contents. The crifi .which stood near by

when the negroes got in from the iield
that they tied the mules to a fence and
sought shelter for themselves instead of
taking time to turn the mules in the lot.

and bit Kim on the leg.
The man turned .around to find that it
was no dog at all which had bitten him,
but instead a largo red fox.
ThU is the second case of the kind, so
far as is known, which ever occurred in
Georgia. The other happened near Ath

hydrophobia and died. Tho result of
this case will be watched with interest.

Senator Colquitt is just back from
New York, where he has been in consul
tation with Governor Hill, and taking
an insight into politics generally.
When an interviewer asked him, on his
return, os to Judge Crisp’s chances for
the speakership, ho said:
r il Judge Crisp is being talked of very
much In New York. Ho is recognized
by them as a man of eminent ability
nud thorough qualifications for spoaker.
I have no doubt but that tho New York
delegation will vote for him. It seemk
to be tho impression throughout the
north that he will ho elected.”

Mrs. Forrester has lived a long and
upright life. Al’ who knew her loved
h?£ and it was to ,those who knew her
bdst that she was most dear. The un
timely ending of such a consecrated
Christian life is most sad and her taking,
away will be‘keenly felt by her largo
circle of children and grandchildren.
This morning her body will be laid
peacefully to rest beside that of her hus
band, who made the last long voyage
some years ago.

Ed Barrett in the Constitution has
ibis to say of Mr. Cummings’ visit to
Americus:
“Amos Cummings tho New York con
gressman and newspaper correspondent,
is down in Americus to write a letter to
the New York Sun on Judge Crisp at
homo. Cununiugs wants to mix with
the people and learn just what they
think of Mr. Crisp. Ho will* also write
a letter on wiregrass Georgia. Mr. Cum
mings is for Crisp for speaker. He be
lieves the Georgian will be elected and
an interesting letter may be expected
from him.”
It was not necessary for Mr. Cum
mings to come from New York to -ascer
tain that tho people of this section, and
of all Georgia, for that matter, regard
Mr. Crisp as tlie giandest Georgian and
the greatest democrat of them all. •
