■ GEORGIA PRESS. rill take the place of Tub city council ot Athens give notice that application will be made for a law taking the control of the city’s stock in the Northeastern railroad out of the hands of the city council. The Banner regards this as a wise measure, and no doubt but what it is. Mb. Jomr P. Callowat, who killed Mr. I. P. Tison at Leesburgh, has waived a committal trial, and has been bailed in the sum of $5,000. The recent rains have demoralized the local editors all over the State.

These were all prominent citizens, and their loss . is a public calamity. Coffee County Gazette: Mr. William Parker gives his opinion as to the whisky traffic in liis community: As I wish to define iny position on this question, I would say that I do not wish to oppose any branch ot men’s business, or their success iu life, but find our village homes so much more comfortable, and the ladies of the country-and village so much more liberty in our streets and business bouses/and our farmers’ sons that drink have so much improved In their habits, and blackguard and profaue swearing re moved from among our children, that I am compelled to say, if I speak my senti ments, that the removal of the sale of whis ky from our county has done more for the morals and liberties of this people than any other act of the Legislature since the war. May Providence provide and instruct the Legislature to work for the real interest of the people. Conyers Examirer. The storehouse of George Weaver was broken open last night, but as yet he has missed nothing. The thief left his tools in the store. Mr. R. B. Vaughn’s store was al9o broken open a few nights ago, but we believe nothing was taken cut. The tiller, who ever be be, was undoubtedly after noth ing but money, as the cash drawer pf both stores was the only thing disturbed. Stockholders Meeting S. G. & N. A. R. R.—Griffin News:—The stockhold- ders had their annual meeting at Kewnan nan this week, with a large amount of stock represented. The old management of the road was re-elected. A resolution was adopted abolishing the custom which has obtained with this road heretofore of , givng free rides to everybody on the line of road at the annual meeting of the stockholders. While this innovation will be a bitter disappoiutinant to the llious auds of honest yeomanry along tho road it is no doubt a bit of wise legislation. Augusta Mirror: There be solids bi_ and solids little, and after hatching the re turns from Sandersville and Waynesboro, we trow that In portions of the solid State ot the solid South the Republican apostle James could sit down among brethren and feel as much at home as though he rested in Abraham’s (Lincoln) bosom. Come down, James, after the manner ofRutberford, and liquidate the solids. Columbus Enquirer: When it comes to sure enough progress Columbus is never behind. Anything progressive in material resources she is quick to grasp, and this is specially true of any element in manufac turing progress. The Eagle and Phenix mills have always led in improvements- This coiporation never follows the whims of the East, but is original and up with the times. Their -model mill, No. 3, has now added toil the last conquest of genius, and will hereafter blaze with the electric light. After a pains-taking and thorough examination of the electric lights seeking public patronage, this company adopted Bush’s dynamo-electric fiiachines. They now have in position three of these machines, and which will light up this mill with fifty-four electric lamps, each of two thousand candles power. The best gas lights in use in the city are about fif teen candles power—say they were twenty candles power—then this mill will be lighted by electricity, equalled to 3,400 gas ets. The company lias prepared a most elegant ^arranged, clean and tidy building for the special use of these machines. The power is perfect, and when our neighbors wish to see a perfect arrangement "which makes night brighter than the average day, the Eagle and l’lieuix mills give that opportunity. This makes the Eagle and Phenix mills users of a larger number of electric lamps than any concern in the South. Mu. John Rogers, of Dublin, has a beg two years old that will weigh 450 pounds now, and will gain at least 150 more by killing time, so says the Gazette.

Let New Jersey have the ban ner by all means. Atlanta Post: H. T. Reagan, who was sent to the penitentiary-from Spal ding county, was shot and killed by his guard a few days since. Reagan frequent ly had attacks of epilepsy, earned lrom a wound ^in the forehead received during the late war, and having one of those fits attempted violence to the guard, who to protect ttrown life had to shoot Reagan. Thia frightful tragedy is the last act In completely wrecking a onee happy house hold. Reagan was iu a similar frenzy when Hunt Shannon attacked bitn, at whom he-shot. This sent him to the chain gang. A week ago the poor fellow’s wife died, and now he hr s gone td Join her. Altogether it is one of the saddest cases ever recorded in Georgia history.

The negroes were notified that they could not be paid at present, as their time had not been fullv made up, but that they would receive their money some time next week; that employment would be given them if they would return to work on Monday, but thev stated they would, not do so at the present wages. No attempt at a disturbance was made, however, and about 7 o’clock the crowd of colored people quietly dispersed. Waycross Reporter: It is said that Collins has gone on another pilgrimage to New York. This time for quite a differ ent purpose from that before the election. He doesn’t go for campaign money, but to render an account of bis stewaidsbip, and as we predicted, he is going to have pretty hard work to convince that central campaigu committee that he ever ran- for Congress. Wonder what argument he is going to- use to prove that he made the race—the votes he got will certainly be very poor ones on his side of llie question. But, nevertheless, he must give an ac count.' - Dublin Gazette: Last spring, a lady in this county was peeling potatoes for cook ing purposes. An'old negro standing by picked up three pf the peelings and said he intended planting them; nothing more was thought of it until a few days since, __ J when Jim informed Mr. Hauls, with whom The^stockhold"-- l* e wae working, that tlie'three peelings had made three bushels of fine yam pota toes, and he has them now for anyone to see for themselves. Rome Tribune: One of llie beauties and charms(?) of an editor’s life consists in his “dead-heading” it on all occasions. One who has never tasted the sweets of that bliss, cannot begin to tako jti the glory aud happiness experienced by the editor in dead-lieaJiug. For instance, he does one hundred dollar^ worth of adver tising for a railroad company and gets a pass for a year, rides the value of a .few dollars, if he rides at all,'and then lie . is looked upon by the conductor as-a tramp or dead-beat. He .pufij a concert troupe ten dollars’ worth,'gets a one dollar seat, and is thus passed “free.” He blows and putts a church festival, docs tlie handbill printing at half rates and gets a “thank you” for it; it is at tributed as part of iris duty as an editor, and then the paj^er “has to be filled up la advertising for old brass. We thought he had brass enough for a young fellow, and can’t see any equity in taking that which belongs to the old fellow.

It says : A frolicsome cow undertook to outrun the cars but failed' and was ran down, The engine was thrown lrom the track, also lbe baggage, postal and second class cars—wrecking all three.

Yesterday, .at Woolfolks’ station, all that body of land lying in aud around that point and known as the Woolfolk es tate, was sold under an -order in bank ruptcy to tbe highest bidders. The tract of JatuLanms up 3,100 acres, and sold for $15,TOO.I Several parties bought portions ot it, that which lies immediately around Math of Hr. Baucll Holt. Sunday morning Judge T. G. Holt re- celved froin Chicago the melancholy news that his son, Russell, well known lit this city, was upon the ill-fated steamer Alpena when it went down in Lake Mich igan, on the 16th day of October, with all on board. Tfie intelligence came from a friend of the hnfortanate young man, and was the first tp reach the family in this city, although twenty-three . days had passed since the accident occurred. The facts which surround tbe death of Russell Holt present a singular array ot happenings bearing one upon the other, and lead to his watery grave like a path marked out bjr am evil fate. He was in business in this city np td the time of the Masonic conclave in 1 Chicago last August, but acoompanied bis father upon the ex- curson to that city. Possessed of a fancy for shipping and the sea he spent consid erable time in tbe . neighborhood of the many .wharves and vessels which are to be found in Chicago. Although offered a good position in a counting house, he preferred tlie water, aud having made the acquaintance of a young gentleman running upon the steam er Muskegon,'with bis .assistance he also obtained a positidiTupon the same. boat. It was from this young companion that the news came to Judge Holt yesterday morning. It seems that a warm friend ship sprung up between the two young men, and an intercourse whidh was unin terrupted until business' called-the last named to Buffalo. While bis friend was absent, unknown to him, Mr. Holt ob tained a transfer to the Alpena, a com panion vessel of the same line, and run ning to the same points. • fH When this Chicago friend returned and wept upon the Muskegon, he-was inform ed that Mr. Holt had been transferred to the 'Aljiena, and had- gone upon bis first trip. Expecting to meet him at some stopping point, and liop'ng to persuade him to return ;to the Muskegon, he started npon the journey. They, never met again. Saturday on: the lake tho two vessels, sighted, hailed, passed - each other aud plunged into the darkness beyond, one to the safe port, bearing its living cargo to happy homes and loving wel comes; the other into the arms of a mighty tempest, where waves should beat upon the vessel and draw down into eternity the'seventy souls that were gathered with in., her cabins. Upon the - latter vessel stood Russell Holt. This is all that is known. His friend hesitated for days and weeks, but finally yielded to a sense of duty, and in a most beautiful letter to Judge HoK, revealed .life sad fate'of bis son. Abrupt as was tbe intelligence, it did not come altogether unexpectedly. The Tijhg time that had elapsed since the last letter was written home, together with the expressed inten tion of going on the Alpena, awoke in tlie family here fears for the young mait’a- safety. Tfut the blow, nevertheless, was crushing, and tho family are now tntlie deepest distress pver the sad .fate of tho only son. Wetawhutestend tolheniour deepest sympathies. There is no hope. The New York Herald of October 20tli has the following concerning the disaster to tho Alpena: “There is how no longer any reason tot doubt the total loss, with all on board, of the passenger steamer Alpena, of the Goourich Line, which has for many years plied between Chicago and various ports on tlie eastern shore of Lake Michigan. It left the dock at Muskegon last Friday evening, October 15lh, and should have maije her dock at Rush street, Chicago, on the morning of the 16th. “Iu accordance with her invariable.cus tom, the Alpena touched at Grand Haven on Friday and u>ok on a few passengers and some freight, clearing from that port at nine o’clock p. m. She was next sight ed by the steamer Muskegon, also of the Goodrich iLJne, about midway the lake, - 'Saturday morning, show ing • that tbe vessel had proceeded thus far without accident or delay.. The ■weitbef was warai and fine, the lake was smooth, and all on hoard anticipated a pleasant trip. * *- To-day,- for the first time, the owners of the Alpena give her up, aud acknowledge that there is no chance that she may yet be heard from. Every point on Lake Michigan, which the disabled steamer could have reached for refuge from the awful storm, which came up with phenomenal suddenness about three o’clock Sunday , evening,, has been readied by telegraph, and still no word of the*Alpena. 'On tlie contrary, pieces of her cabin, her piano and other, -wreckage were found this morning on the beach one mile liorth of Holland, Michigan, while north' of Grand Haven, a large amount of the Alpena’s freight has drifted ashore. At a late hour to night no intelli gence has been received from any pass'en- f er or crew, and it is thought that no pqa as survived to hecite the story'<Jf liow tile steamer wks dashed in'pieces by the furi ous waves and filially went d6wn. All hope that the Alpena might; have found shelter among the Maultou islands is dis sipated by the arrival of the propeller, Wissahickonj at-Milwaukee this morning with the int- lligcnee .that the. Alpena had not been s^en at Manito'u. • • • The Associated Press agent at Holland, Michi gan, reports i Have been, to tbe shore and along tlie beach for a distance of five miles; find large quantities of apples, headings and other freight, also portions of tbo upper deck, - stanchions' and rail,. gang-planks and. hatches, and one door panel with the name Alpena upon it; also two life preservers, au-oar, and a chair marked steamer Alpena. A piano came ashore during the nlgh^ which is recognized by the agent, of tlie Greenwich Line front Grand Haven, as t&onglng.(o the Alpena. “The body of a lady came ashore this morning, and bis been recognized as that of Mrs. Bradltw, who, with her two dangbten, had befnj Hopping at Grand Wskloi np the Wrong Boy. Sunday night Mr. Zach Rogers, who lives out on the turnpike road in tbe neighborhood of Giles’ store, went off to church, leaving the boose and little daughter in care of his son Johnny, aged abour thirteen yean. Johnny went to sleepy, bat was awakened by tbe noise of some one trying to force tbe kitchen latch. Tbe latch broke, but the burglar failed to get the door open. He then tried a win dow, and finally came upon the porch of the. house. Johnny thought this was about time to interfere, and throwing open a window he stepped out on the porch also, revolver in hand, and as the baffled bur glar made a'rapld retreat, fired three shots at him. Tfie man was evidently struck, for eke cried out loud enough to be heard by the neighbors, who immediately came to the rescue of our little marksmau. Johnny was calm through it all, and did not fire until the man had passed beyond the line of a neighbor's window. When Mr. Rodgers returned, which, he did a few minutes after,i his found the boy standing out doors in bis night clothing, relating the affair to a group. In reply to an in quiry whether or uot he was frightened, he replied, “No,"but I am pretty cold.” This appears to be a case where the wrong boy was disturbed, burglariously speak- I Al-u 4 Married.

Bartlett, Thos. B. Gresham Adele Belgirde. J Last night Miss Adele Belgarde af- ordedtothe theatre-loving a feast. The bill presented was a most enjoyable one, presenting a succession of the most beautiful acts In Shakespeare. The fourth acts, from “Cymbeline,” “As You Like It,*’ “Twelfth Night,” tlio prison scene in “Measure for Measure,” the balcony scene m “Romeo and Juliet,” and the closing scene in “Hamlet” were given. In these numerous acts the talented lit tle lady was required to appear not only in female characters widely differing, but to represent also those two opposites which the master hand of the great author has drawn with such wonderful distinct ness—-Borneo and Hamlet. To say thatshe succeeded only wcuidnotbe doing justice to a faithful actress. As Imogen, Rosalind, viola, Isabella and Romeo, she was sin gular distinctive, eutering into each char ter with a thorough self-forgetfulness, and seeming to grasp the intention of each as 1 by intuition. InJIamlet—for a woman—she was won derful, lacking only force of manhood suf ficient to overcome a boyishness in some parts. This we take it, however, is the fault of nature, if fault it can be termed, for in denying us here a perfect Hamlet, nature in Miss Belgarde lias given us a perfect Isabella. If we may be allowed to pronounce upon the whole bill, we would express a preference for Isabella, as portrayed by Miss Belgarde In the pris on scene of “Measure for Measure;” it may be truly said of her that she held the mirror up to nature there, and gave us a perfect representation of a woman moved by love, scorn and anger. '- Miss Belgardc’s acting is of that pas sionate, impulsive kind which, while at times it may - fly above the mark, never fhlls beneath!it. Of her support we scarcely know what to say. Iu some pieces it is good, in oth ers mediocre, and in others still, a failure —that is, regarding the support as an en tirety. Individually there were members tint stand high as actors, and deservedly 30. Mrs. Sargent as Juliet and Ophelia, was both realistic and inspiring, and Mr. J. Ri Anderson, who appeared last evening in three acts, was without fault in the characters assumed. Several of the.others, also, were successful at times. Perhaps we would-better express ourself had we said the support lacked that unity of purpose that links tbe char acters of a play together, and makes tlie action of each natural. Mr. Bouchier,' whom we criticised yes terday, was ill during his whole stay in thi3 city, and ought not to have ap peared.
