He married a sister of S. A, Einstein, of Sa vannah, who survives him.

Major Speer states that he has never used any such expression in regard to the Alliance warehouse, and that some designing per son must have originated tho rumor out of a spirit of malice. Major Speer further authorizes the statement that ho has none hut the best of feeling towards the warehouse in question, and those who know him-best do not doubt for one moment that the rumor was originated by an enemy of that gentleman.

It will be owned and conducted by a stock company, and Editor Elam Chris tian, of the Douglassville New South, will be the general manager. In conversation with a Herald man this afternoon, Mr. Christian said- “The paper will stand Hat-footed on tho Ocala platform, and will advocate the formation of a new party, because that is the only way to get Incorporated In our national laws the principles con tained in that platform ” Which side will you take in the Northen-I.ivingston controversy;”' Mr. Christian was asked. “That depends on how they stand on the third party question,’’ he replied, and then he shrugged his shoulders. Arretted on Suspicion* Atlanta, September 22.—James Twiggs and Ed Collins, two negroes, were arrested by Patrolman Mehaffey on Decatur street yesterday on suspicion. Collins suits the description exactly of a negro who is wanted In Monroe county for murder. Twiggs is supposed to be an escaped convict. Both negroes are very large, and Patrolman Mehaffey, as usual, did a lino piece of work in mak ing tile arrest, a* he had only a slight clue when he began. Harried Last Nl*ht. Last night, at 8:30 o'clock, Mr. W. M. Martin and Mlsa Leola Guerry were uni ted in marriage at the Methodist parson age, Rev. J. B. Johnstone officiating. Their many friend* wish for them along and happy voyage through life. anil wife. It was a surprise to a certain degree, but there were a few people in the se cret anil among that foiv was a newspa per man. After the ceremony was over Mr. Simpson took his wife to the home he had provided for her and it is not saying too much when happiness of all kinds is wished for them, AN OLD PISTOL. A Relic ol the War Found at Anderson- vllla. Last night Sumter Tondee brought an old pistol to The Tihes-Recoiwer office. Ho found it, partially burled, at An- dcrsonville last Sunday. When discov ered it was sticking, muzzle downward, in a marshy spot, and it still contains one bullet. The handle lias been destroyed by age and exposure hut, although very much rusted, it is stilt otherwise intact, and could very probably be made an excel lent weapon. Northern museums would pay a largo price for the old pistol, and Tondee says he will at once negotiate for its sale. It Wu-n't n Runaway. Thc mention of the marriage of Mr. Gcorgo Simpson and Miss Maud Bass, in yesterday's Timks-Kecordeb, might be misconstrued by some peoplo aud it is with ploasure that the fact is noted that the marriago was not a clandestine one by any means. A large circle ot friends witnessed the ceremony, which occurred at the home of the parents of the bride, and Mr. Simpson was one of the happiest of men when he carried his wife to his formerly desolate bachelor's abode. The Ga* Work*. Yesterday Messrs. F. Petjen and M. Huntlne, of Fort Wayne, Ind., represent ing the Ker-Murray Manufacturing Com pany, arrived in Americus. They come for the purpose of putting in-the gasom eter and tank for the gas works, nnd will, therefore, be here some time. When fin ished, Americus will hare a complete gas plant that, will be a credit to the metropolis of Southwest Georgia. Mia* Lilly Salter'* Death. Yesterday the stainless soul of Lilly Salter passed over to “the land that fa fairer than day.” Mias Salter was the next eldest daughter of Mr. Jeaae Salter, of this county, and was just entering upon that stage of life which I* always the happiest to women. 8he was begin ning her teens when the Angel of Death laid bU cruel touch upon her. A BOYCOTTED ROAD. THE GEORGIA SOUTHERN AND FLOR IDA IN DIFFICULTIES. Wh»t Folk* Think About It In Atlanta- Holding Off on the Georgia Southern and Florida—A Suggestion to the Richmond and Danville. Atlanta, Ga., September 21.—The railroad commission will Investigate that boycott. Colonel Erwin will arrive to day, and this afternoon they will consult about the matter. Col. Powers is already here, so is Mr Knapp, the traffic manager of the Geor gia Southern railroad, tho company which has been boycotted. That something will be done is certain Tho only argument that tho railroads can employ is that tho commission has no authority to force tiiem to act as agents for another corporation or to make them appoint another corporation as their agent, ns would bo the case if they are forced to sell the Georgia South ern railroad tickets and the Georgia Southern sell theirs. But this is an evasion of this question at stake in which the whole people aro interested It is a combination against the Georgia Southern, not becauso they are afraid tho Georgia Southern will not pny them for the tickets they sell, but because the Georgia Southern is selling tickets over its line cheaper than the combination wants them sold. What is easier than for the Richmond Terminal to bottle rp the Georgia South ern. They own every through line lead ing into Macon, nrd they can refuse to deliver freight to the Georgia Southern cripple it and buy it for a song. Macon is especially interested in tills question. If the combination is allowed to do this they can ruin any road in Georgia not in with them, and can absolutely prevent the buildiug of other lines. This is a foretaste of what may ho ex pected if the boycott is not immediately broken up. If, this afternoon, tho com missioners experience any doubt as to their authority, a letter to tho governor, asking him t6 present the matter to the legislature would no doubt bring the necessary legislation to defeat the scheme to wreck and ruin a competing line of road. A BAKBER GOES INSANE. While Shaving » Man anil Attempt* to Make film a Corpse. Kennett Square, Pa.. Sept. 21.—A barber becoming insane while shaving mail is what every tnau who ever had his chin scraped has feared. Therefore, great sensation was created here when Wm.

I tliiuk I will take you to heaven with me. ” The barber's eyes grew wild and his hand moved un easily, scratching Jackson's face. Reese laid the razor down fora minute nnd rubbed his hands. 1 his* was supposed to lie preparatory to making Jackson an angel. Jackson, thinking it was time for mm to get out, made for the door, hut iie was not quick enough for Ileese, ho met him at the door, aiyil after hard struggle he wrestled nilu-elf louse and started down the street with Reese lose pursuit. Reese stumbled and fell. He was captured and will not do any shaving for some time to corns. Drummer Suicides. Halifax, N. S., Sept. 21.— Alex. M.
