i TERRIBLE explosion.
Saloon Blown Bp and Large Humber*
Killed.
St. Joseph, Mo., May 24.—An .explo
sion or fifteen barrels of Danfoith f s fluid
stored in a cellar on Edmund street, in
this city, occurred st 9 o’clock last night.
Tho floor over the cellar was occupied as
a saloon and billiard room, and was kept
by a colored man. A number of negroes
were in the saloon at tbe time, all of
wbom lost tbeir lives. The exact num
ber cannot bo ascertained as yet, but it is
variously estimated at from 15 to 45.
Five bodies have been recovered—all
burned beyond recognition. It is said
one white woman was in the place at the
time of the casualty.
Tbe building was instantly and com
pletely demolished. The inmates were
all burned iu tbe debris, which was com
pletely enveloped by the hot flames of the
burning fluids. The efforts of the fire de
partment to subdue the flames were of no
avail. Several thousand excited people
are now surrounding the scene of the dis
aster, and many women and children are
scieamlng and bewailing tbe loss of tbeir
husbauds and fathers or friends. The
concussion shook bnildlngs for several
blocks around.
There were some twenty or thirty men
ir, tbe colored man’s saloon last night at
the time of the explosion, and most of
them escaped. The concussion blew the
walls of the building outward, and sev
eral who were blown out with the walls
found themselves in the debris, from
which they were rescued, more or les3
bruised. Charles Dunlap, the bartender,
a large man weighing over 200 pounds,
came near making his escape, but his feet
were caught under portions of the fallen
roof, and he was burned to death while
desperately struggling to freo himself and
appealing for help. Ills body was pulled
out alter life was extinct, in a charred
condition. Billy Williams was burned to
death. His body was recovered. Several
others rescued within the first moments
afier the explosion and supposed to be
dead are living, and although more or less
bruised may recover.
As to tbe cause of tho accident there is
nothing positive known. Just before the
explosion took place Alex Northcut, who
had a number of men and boys la train
ing for s minstrel combination, came into
the saloon for the purpose of going down
stairs to light up for a rehearsal. The
basement was divided, the front portion
being used for storage purposes for Dan-
fortb’s fluid, and the latter for a rehearsal
room where large crowds of colored folks
have been wout to congregate nightly. It
is presumed that when the match was
struck the fluid ignited, causing an ex
plosion.

THE GUTTENBERG MURDER
KETTLE It ARRESTED IX THIS
CITE
Tbe Suppooed Murderer Found In
Front of lit* Home in West Tnlrty
Sixth Street—Hi* Statement to tbe
Police—How tbe Arrest was Brought
About,
Trout tho New York Tribune.
Martin Hankowsky, alias Louis Kettler,
was arrested last night at 0 o’clock in
front of his dwelling at No. 510 West
Thirty-sixth street, on suspicion of being
the murderer of Mina Muller or Schmidt,
who was found dead in the Guttenbcrg
woods. He was taken to the Twentieth
Precinct Station in the Thirty-seventh
street. His wife followed him, apparently
not knowing what was tbe matter, and an
excited conversation ensued between tbe
two In German. Tbe woman reproached
her husband with having done what was
wrong; to which be answered:
“Mein Gott! that woman ruined me.”
He was pressed for a confession, and
stubbornly refused for some time, but
finally lie made tlis following statement,
which was taken down in writing:
May 10, 1881,10:15 p. m.
Martin Kankowsky, native of Alsace,
;o thirty-three, mason, married; I know
ina Schmidt; I did not know that she
was married. She told me that she loved
me, and asked me to como with her to
Germany. She said that she had wealthy
relatives there and that they would take
care of me. I went with her to Guttcnberg
and to Scbeutzen Park ana met there two
men who told me that Mina did not love
me, but loved another. She then ran away
with tbe men and I have not seen her
since. I went down to Christopher street,
where wc had left our trunks, and had
the same removed to my house.
The story of tho arrest is best told in
the words of Gustavos A. Selde, a repor
ter on tho Esening Journal of Jersey City,
to whose cndeavois the capture seems al
most exclusively due.
This is how 1 managed the matter,” ho
said to the Tribune reporter in the Twen
tieth precinct station:
“I went to Scherrcr’s Hotel in Christo
pher street this morning and asked for
the address of the expressman who had
taken away Mrs. Muller’s trunks the day
of tho murder. Sherrer could not tell me,
but a customer who happened to over-
hear our conversation describ
ed tho appearauce of the
expressman. After much trouble
I found the man, whose name is Strang.
He informed me that he had carted the
four trunks and a valise to No. 140
Ciiailes street, a boarding house kept by
a Mrs. Cliflord. I immediately went
there, and this woman then told me that
a man bearing the description of Kettler,
or Kankowsky as he now turns out to be,
had lodged in her liouso from tho fourth
iust. until this day last week, when he
moved away with all his trunks save one,
which he left his landlady ‘for firewood,
Before making Ids departure ho said he
was going to California. Mrs. Clifford
showed me the trunk, which still was in
her back yard, and told mo further that
Strang had removed the tnmks from her
house.
“I then returned to Strang and asked
him to tell me where he had carted the
trunks the second time. He did not know
tlie address, but said he ought to be
able to fiud tbe house, so I feed him
and we started together taking a trunk
with us and also the trunk Kankowsky
had left at Mrs. Clifford’s. This wo did
to avoid suspicion, or rather to. let the
murderer think that we were bringing him
his property. About half-past 7 o’clock
this evening Strang finally found Kan-
kowsky’s dwelling, a tenement house, at
No. 510 West Thirty-sixth street. We
had arranged it together that he should
go up-itairs, and In case onr man was not
at home he should remove his hat upon
issuing from the front door. Strang was
in the act of making this signal when &
couple of policemen of the Twentieth pre
cinct suddenly pounced upon us, and, de
spite our protests, arrested us as suspicious
characters.
“We were taken to the police station,
and I succeeded in convincing the captain
of onr good intentions. He not only dis
charged us both bat sent officers Trogon-
icg and Fitzgerald to help us arrest tbe
murderer. We bad yet two full hours to
He in ambush before tho fellow showed
himself. At a few minutes before nine
o’clock a man went up the stoop of No.
510, who Strang declared was his former
customer. A general rush was now made,
and he was in our power. He struggled
a little at first, became pale, and repeated
rather savagely, 11 Was ini, was isll” Ho
has a wife aud two children, who were
frantic about the matter.”
In Kankowsky’s apartments were found
three trunks belonging to tbe murdered
woman, which wer$ full of her cloth
ing. They were taken to the station.
They bore labels with the name and
address: “Joseph Reymann, No. 52 Rue
Clissant, Paris, France.” In the prison
er’s pockets were found a receipt for 80
cents and some printed papers of the
Elirenritte Lodge, “K. and L. of H.,” to
which Mina Muller belonged; also a clip
ping from a German paper describing the
recent double hanging at Newark.
Theodore Scherrer, the keeper- of the
hotel at No. 178 Christopher street, at
which Kankowski and the dead woman
remained a short time just belorethe mur
der, arrived shortly after the arrest and
identified the prisoner. Kettler, or Kau-
kowsky, is a man slightly below tbe me
dium height, with a Hebrew cast of
face. When taken out of the cell for
identification he trembled. He wore a
blue cutaway coat, tiglit black trousers
and a stiff, black necktie. Hia clothing
was besmeared with mortar. To a Tri
bune reporter he said, in his native
tongue, which he speaks with a strong
Alsatian accent:
“On leaving the pastorale May 3, Mina
and I took a walk. When we reached
Opdyke Wood two men suddenly came
across our path. Theyaecmed to know
Mina (who was a little the less for li
quor), and they began talking to her in a
lively manner, not taking any notice of
nie. After a while Mina went away with
mere them) filing me she would be back very
soon. I waited a whole hour, but no
Mina came; so I finally concluded that
she bad deserted me and came back home.
That is all I can say. Before God I de
clare myself to be innocent of any crime
toward her.”

Allan Pinkerton’s Theory.
We were coming off the ferry-boat as
the funeral procession of tbe late Gen.
Upton readied the wharf. As we stood
among the dense crowd on the pavement
edge and watched the riderless horse fol
low the nodding plumes of its master’s
hearse into the gateway, a voice at our el
bow said musingly:
“I wish I had the working up of that
case.”
Turning, wo beheld the still remember
ed features of a veritable celebrity, Allan
Pinkerton, tbe veteran detective of Chica
go, now takius: lu tho Yosemite for his
health. We snook hands and said:
“But this is suicide, Allan.”

characteristic cautiou, “that’s what they
say, but ”
“Why, you don’t mean wc began,
somewhat shocked.
“Oh, I don’t—not that,” interrupted the
old thief taker. “Let me tell you a story.
I was traveling In Germany some years
woiklng up a bond robbery for tho gov
ernment, when 1 was sent for by the com,
mandant of a large fortified town. A
high officer iu tho engineer corps bad been
found dead in his bed, and his head blown
to fragments. It was supposed that his
acknowledged genius and inventive pow
ers Lad rendered him an object of jeal
ousy on the part of his brother officers
There was not tho least clue to the assas
in, and tho experts from London and
,’aris, who had been sent for, had given
the case up in despair. Well, to make a
long story short, I worked over the caso
six weeks and finally discovered that it
was an instanco of iuvoluntary suicide.
•‘Involuntary.”
“Precisely; the man was a nervous,
high-strung enthusiast regarding mili
tary inventions. Ho had just com
pleted a new kind of small, terribly de
structive bomb, to bo concealed In the
grass by troops when pursued by cavalry.
Through neivous absorpton he becaine'a
sleep-walker. The result was that ho
bad destroyed himself by sitting up in bed
and banding one of his models while in
an unconscious state. Now General Up
ton’s case is almost identical; I knew him
in ’72—he was a somnambulist then. We
all know of his almost insane devotion to
his specialties—tactics and the improve
ment of arms. The slightest set-back
made him nervous, morose and irri
table.
Tho night before his death he retired
oppressed and despondent over sonic
technical difficulty. He fell asleep with
iiis mind filled, doubtless, with gloomy
and weak thoughts. We all suffer from
such speculations at times in spite of
ourselves. The morning sun would have
dissipated these fogs of the night; but it
never rose for him.”
“Then you think—”
“I feel sure!” replied the old analyzer
of human motives, prophetically.
“Amen!” said another voice solemnly;

in the platoon iu front, who had been
listening, drew his blue sleeve across his
wet eyes. It was one of Upton’s own

Fort Niobrara, Neb., May 13.—On
the 10th inst., Lient. Cherry of tho Filth
Cavalry, with a small force, was sent in
pursuit of four robbers who had killed a
half-breed named Bodeaux. Lieut. Cher
ry rode in pursuit the entire day, and los
ing the trail, camped at Sharp’s ranch,
twenty-five miles northwest of tho post.
The next morning lie divided his com
mand and started cast to reach the rations
sent to meet him from the post.
About 10 o’clock, while riding along
will: Sergeant Harrington on Ills right
hand, and Thomas Locke and Janies
Conroy in tho rear, a shot was fired lrom
behind, and Lieutenant Cherry, turning
aronnd, saw Locks witli a pistol in Ills
hand, which he pretended had gone off
accidentally. When asked what it meant
Locke immediately leveled his pistol and
shot Lieutenant Cherry through the
heart, killing him instantly. Locke then
turned and fired at Conroy, at
whom he had directed the first shot,
wounding him and knocking him from
the saddle. Sergeant Harrington, accord
ing to his own statement, seeing his offi
cer shot down and a body of men rapidly
approaching whom he believed to be des
peradoes, but who were, in fact, a party
under the leadership of Bodeaux’s
brother, fled, and, after riding down Ills
own liorso and Lieut. Cherry’s, which
had followed him, reached the post at
0:30 o’clock. Locke put spurs to his
horse and escaped.
Lieutenant Cherry was a graduate of
West Point, not more than thirty years
old. He had won a high reputation as a
soldier and frontier fighter by his conduct
in the engagement at Milk river, Col.,
September 29,1870, between the Uto In
dians and three companies of cavalry un
der command of Major Thornburgh. Ho
and Captain Lawson saved the,comraand
from annihilation. Ho was a man of fine
stature, six feet tall, and well built, and
was engaged to be married to a young lady
of a distinguished Pennsylvania family.

Atlanta. May 21st.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
Tho Gate City lias not been so greatly
elated, as now, since the declaration of
the voto on the permanent location of the
capital. Onstreet corners, in the hotels,
at the Ponce De Leon, the Library Asso
ciation rooms, and every other of ber fa
mous resorts, one may read In the exul
tation of the people over the news ol Col,

pride they feel at being thus brought into
a double liue of communication with

excursion fare by the new liue,
select picnic parties arc being organized
lor visiting tin; Central City Park. Fond
parents of school children are promising
their dear ones a trip to the Central City,
that they may have the novel pleasure of
seeing a river, and a steamboat. Then
others, noticing tho recent sale of the
rolling stock of the Macon street railroad
are curious to visit a city whose sidewalks
and streets are so excellent as to render
street cars unnecessary conveniences,
while the wretched streets, the blinding
dust, or else quagmires of mud, make
them as requisite in Atlanta as houses to
live in. Others, again, will enjoy visiting
Macon’s educational institutions, the Wes
leyan Female College, Mercer University,
the Georgia Academy for the blind, etc,
All will enjoy her charming drives iu
every direction, even far into the country,
her manufacturing industries, but most of
all the sturdy,uuexcltable, unostentatious
way tlie Macon people have ot liviug and
id of transacting business.
Tills appreciation on the part of her
citizens of the compliment Atlanta re
ceives by this more intimate coinmunica
tiou with Macon, induces me to give ex
pression to a sense of admiration of the
continuous growth of our capital city.
This growth of Atlanta has ever been
to me, as to every one else, a source of
astonishment. There lias beeu no year
since 18GC, when tbe investments in brick
and mortar continually being made, did
not seem to be hare-brained speculations,
And yet no sooner has tlie roof gone ou, or
tbe plastering dried, than tbe landlord lias
found a tenant waiting in the doorway,
be it residence or bouse for business pur
poses. In instances these improvements
bavo been begun without a hint of pros
pect of occupancy, the builders apparent
ly imbued with a blind faitb in ebauce
tenantry. I remember to have talked
with a citizen whoj was overlooking the
construction, very near to each other, of
three small residences. Although the
houses were nearing completion, be told
me he had no application for the rental of
either* of them. But two
weeks later I passed there again
aud noticed that the three were occupied.
The owner informed me that they were
rented to three families from, respectively,
A Fiendish Joke.
“I think,” said a well known orchestral
leader, “the best joke ever played in this
town was on an ambitious amateur pian
ist when Gottschalkwas here. The ama
teur’s father was the owner of a large
ball, and he offered the use ol it to Gott
schalk for his benefit. There was to be a
piece for eight pianos, and the amateur
was to play one of the instruments. I was
leader. I thought Gottschalk would
have a fit when I told him that
the amateur couldn’t play three straight
notes of the piece.
<> ‘He is sure to throw us all out,’ said I,
‘and rain the performance.’
“Gottschalk swore like a major, but
twas no good. The hills were out, and
lie couldn’t go back vn his programme,
even if the gift of the liali for the night
was no consideration to him. At last I
lilt on an idea that fixed the whole busi
ness. The amateur came down to re
hearsal, and we praised him up until he
thought he was to bo tbe star of the night.
As soon as he left we took the hammers
out of his piano and made it as dumb as
an oyster. I guessed he woald never
know tho difference, with several pianos
going at once. •
The tuneful convention laughed.
“And just aa I thought,” said the lead
er, hammering on the table with his glass,
“that amateur or his friends never dis
covered the trick.’.’
“No?”
“No, sir; ho just sailed In and pounded
on that piano as If it wsa the worst ene
my he had. He was bound to show off
among so many good pianists, and ham
mered on his keyboard until the perspira
tion nearly blinded him. Now and
then I looked at him approvingly
to give him fresh courage, and
every time that I did he gave the piano a
lick that nearly made matchwood of it.
His friends all around threw bouquets at
him till be looked like a wedding arch,
and when ’twas all over his fond parent
fell on his neck in the green room and
slipped a check of $250 in his hand. The
old man didn’t know whether be was
standing on bis head or his heels, be was
so tickled."
“Didn't he do fine,” said he to me,

New York, Ohio and Florida, aud that all
had moved to Atlanta only tho week be
fore.
There is no more indication of a stop
page to house-building here than at any
time since tho work ot rebuilding began
in 1805. On all the principal thorough
fares the work is going on. This appears
all the more singular when tho fact is con
sidered that the business populace of At
lanta has less capital in proportion to tho
business done, than that of any city of
like size in the United States. I refer to
the trades-peopln, of course, aud as
a whole, leaving out the cap
italists, such as James, tho Inmans, Sena
tor Brown, Mooro Hz Marsh, Austell
and a very few others. The instances of
commercial firms owning stock or bond
securities aro exceptional. The history
ol the Atlanta cotton factory and the
Georgia Western railroad ^demonstrates
the scarcity of Idle capital in tho city.
It was conceJed that both eutoi-
prises weio essential to tho city,
,.ud that both would pay dividends on the
money invested iu them, but Atlanta
money did very little toward the con
struction of cither. The business of At
lanta is done under the high pressure sys
tem. Merchants dri7e their operations
early and late and recreation for a day is
with many an unknown indulgence. Tho
mercantile classes move in a whirl of ex-
'citement and live lives of unrest. Com
petition, which is rigorous, is controlled
by few of the customs-merchant which are
recognized iu other important commercial
cities.
But tho hopefulness of the Atlanta peo
ple is a characteristic to be admired.
Nothing damps their ardor or their confi
dence in the continued thrift and growth
of their city. Fires nor failures are in
mind longer than while the one is blazing
or tbe other a fresh sensation. The re
cent casualty—the Citizens’Bankfailure—
will, in sixty days time, with the general
public, be a forgotten tiling. >
Atlanta is proud of her record, and
justly may bo; is proud and is by no means
timid in asserting her pride. But wait
until site is uuited to Macon by a second
direct rail route if you wish to see her
put on airs. Milo.

in carrying on my work in this cam-

le they are profuse in good wishes
and ready to encourage bywords, yet
that does not pay printing bills aud other
icuses. General Brady, of the post-

you do not care for his aid, aud is for
some unknown reason inclined to be cool
toward you. I am satisfied that, on an
intimation from you that such things
would bo appreciated, he would do
something for me. Indeed, he has inti
mated as much to me. Won’t you please
set him right, or iu some way express a
desire for his aid, for I need help very
much just now?

sure,” Bertram said to herself, and
merry laugh rippled through ber pearly
teeth and flowed gracefully out over the
ripe, red lips that seemed made only for
kissing, although there were dark stories
alloat in the Houlihan household that
when the dried-beef jar was found empty
one day Bertram bad only smiled in ber
languid, imperial way and said some
thing about trying to keep up with the
procession if it took all the dried beef in
town.
Her pareuts were rich but honest, and
loved their only daughter with a mad,
trusting, passionate love that knew no
bounds. Her every wish was law, and yet,
knowing this, she would of.en shrink
lrom letting her wants be known, so re
tiring was ber nature. Once Mrs. Houli
ban discovered Bertrace standing beside
a marble Psyche that ornamented the par
lor bay window, and silently weeping.
“What is the matter, my child, raid the
mother, coming to her daughter’s aide,
and kissing her tenderly. “Can you not
trust me with your griei?”
“Yes, mamma,” said the girl, looking
at her with tear-stained nose, while a
bright smile illumiuated Her countenance,
like the sun shining during a shower, “I
have always trusted you. 1 want a pair
of striped stockings”—and, blushing d
ly, she hid her face iu her mother’s Bosom,
From that moment they understood
each other perfectly. It was a beautiful
picture to see them together iu the house,
more like sisters than mother and daugh
ter. Their lives knew no shadow, and
they held up old Mr. Houlihan for what
ever they wanted in the way of clothes
There were no other children and Ber
trace had the track all to herself.
She had met Herbert Hanafin at a fair
belt, under the auspices of the United.ltal-
iaii Benevolent Society, and loved him
deeply. They we re to be married in tlie
fall. It would save coal, Mr. Houlihan
said, but Bertrace only laughed a little
three-for-ten-cents, light, sunny laugh,
and said her darling papa wa3 quite too
awfully quite.
It was July. From a cloudless sky the
sun beat down with pittiless fury upon a
railroad. Near by was a grove, from
wheuce proceeded sounds of laughter. A
train stood on a sidling. Three brakemen
were asleep in tbe front car. This train
had brought the excursionists to the grave,
It wag waiting to take them back. Come
with me to tlx-grove. Bertrace Houlihan
is the center of tho merry group. Iu her
bauds she holds a custard pie. Some
one calls. She places the pie on a chair,
and turns to see wliat is wanted. Herbert
Hanabu joins the party. ‘ I am tired,”
lie says, and sits down in the chair. In
stinctively he feels that a mistake has
been made. “It is discovered,” lie says to
himself. “I shall he overwhelmed with
ridicule, and lose Bertrace. She could
never love a man with custard-pie on his
Pants.”
Bertrace again joined the party and
greeted Herbert affectionately. She was
about to ask fur the pie when a look from
Herbert told her all. “Would I betray
him for a paltry pie?” she murmured.
“Not for a whole bakery.”
Herbert was saved.
Such is the power of love.
J41' GOULD TESTIFIES.
How the Great Telegraphic Comps
nie* Were Manipulated.
In the suit against tbe Western Union
Telegraph Company Jay Gould testified
m New York as iollows: I am one of
tho original promoters of the American
Union Company; don’t remember furnish
ing Mr. Bates or Tinker with any check
for them to pay in their money for capital
stock they purchased. I myself paid in
my check for five or ten millions, I don’t
remember which. I got back tho whole
of that amount shortly after, as I sold my
stock to the Central Construction Com
pany. I did not solicit subscriptions from
any ono to help build the American Union.
In January, ItSt, I owned about 10,000
shares of American Union stock. I signed
consent to tbe sale of the American
Union. I did not own over 10,000 shares
of American Union stock. 1 did not
initiate proceedings for tbe consolidation.
Mr. Vanderbilt proposed it. I received
note frem him Sunday, January 9; it
reads as iollows:
Dear Sib: 1 would like to seo you
for a few moments, if convenient, at my
house at niuo o’clock. Yours truly,
W. H. Vanderbilt.
Continuing he said; I called on Mr.
Vanderbilt at niue o’clock on Sunday
evening.
Jay Gould, continuing, testified as fol
lows: “I told Mr. Vauderbilt I would
notify our people of bis proposition, and I
informed General Eckert, Mr. Ames, Mr.
DIHod, and Mr. Sage, and they attended
meeting on the following Tuesday even
ing. No agreement was made at that
meeting. I held about $0,000,000 ot West
ern Union stock. Tbe Americau Union
had been gradually extending its lines,
Laving some seventy thousand miles of
wire aud about eight hundred offices. I
considered the company would earn six
per cent, on a valuation of $15,000,000.
General Eckert opposed the sale.
On February fid I owned, and own now,
00,200 shares of Western Unlon. I do not
believe tbe Americau Union Line could
be reproduced, as it is only by power of
ownership that you can take railroad#
from tbe Western Union, as it can give-
them greater facilities for reaching every
j joint by telegraph. The American Un
ion was built by iLyseli and others, in
cluding Messrs. Sage, Dillon, Ames, Gar
rett aud Humphreys, who controlled a
large extent ot roads.” Cross-examined:
“I told Mr. Vanderbilt at the first meet
ing I could not control Americau Union,
as l would have to consult the directors
and stockholders. I believe the consoli
dation was the salvation of the Americau
Union. I controlled fifty-two thousand
miles of railroads east and west of St.
Louis, which I was gettiug ready to lake
away from the Western Union and em
brace it in the system of the Americau
Union.”
What a Yacht la.
“Is that a yacht?” I asked of a long,
gaunt codder who was lounging about the
wharf, as I pointed to a small steam ves
sel coming iu. “No,” was the gruff re
ply. “Is that a yacht?” I asked again,
pointing to a sailing vessel which was
coming into the port, which certainly
looked like a yacht. “No, that ain’t no
yacht, nuther.” Presently I ventured to
say mildly, “May I ask you- wliat is »
adit ?” Squirting out a flow of tobacco
uice, the codder said: “Wot’s a yot?
Well, I’ll tell you wot’s a yot. You goes
and you gets any sort of a craft that you
pleases, aud you tills her up with liquor
and seeg-yars, and you gets your fr
aboard, and you has a yell of a “
that’s a yot.” I thanked him.

excellent condition and presenting quite a
favorable appearance. Cora is small,
wbicb is much better for it, as the fertil
izing qualities of the fertilizers and soil
will naturally be thrown into the ear, not
making so muchstaik and fodder. Wheat
and oats are fine, considering the dry
weather. A full supply is thought already
to be on band. Harvesting will begin
next week. Cotton is very fine. One
farmer told ns his cotton was larger now
than it was in July of last year, but we
are glad to see, as in this section, the peo
ple are trying to make their bread and
meat at home and not depend so much
upon the cotton crop.

Atlanta, May 25.—The currency
given, this morning, to tbe difficulty of
tracing up tbe whereabouts of fiity-odd
thousand dollars of Atlanta city bonds,
once deposited in tbe State treasury, and
subsequently withdrawn by tbe broken
Citizens’ Bank, created quite a sensation.
Your reporter inquired at the several de
partments of the State government as to
any facts additional to those given by the
Constitution, but could learn only a little
more from them.
The fin* bond* deposited hr the bank,
as security to the State for Us 'fffHtT.
railroad bonds. On the 10th of March.
1880, by order of the Governor there
bonds were surrendered to tbe bank, in
lieu of $55,000 of Atlanta 0 per cent,
bonds, and on tbe 19th or March,
last, in accordance with another
order lrom the Governor, tbe Atlanta
bonds were also delivered to W. H. Pat
terson cashier of the Citizens’ Bank, that
bank having then given persona* security
in lien of the bonds. Tho city bonds
thus given up were entered on the ledgers
of tbe bank aud counted among its assets,
but the receivers aud the creditors com
mittee have been unable to find tlie bonds
themselves. The report of tbo receivers
charges the bank with $04,500 of these
city bonds, and $43,000 are accounted for
—that being the amount held by the
American Exchange Bank of New York.
Tbe question is, what has become of the
other $51,500 of bonds ? Did the receiv
ers make a mistake in ebargiug tbe bank
with $04,500? If tbe amount surrendered
by tbe State aud the amount surrendered
by the New York bank were tbe same,
the presumption of a mistake would be a
reasonable one. But there is a difference
of $8,500, and no one yet heard from has
accounted for it.
Comptroller General Wright disclaims
that he was ever tbo legal custodian of
tbe bonds, or had any control over them
whatever. He says that tbe Governor is
tbe legal custodian, and that the deposit
was made in the Comptroller's vault
merely as a place of safety. He could
not make any substitution or surrender
without tbe Governor’s order.
Whatever may be the result of. the in
quiry as to tbe non-appearance of tbe
bonds, public sentiment here is growing
stronger and more Indignant about the
management of the Citizens’ Bank. It is
the genoral opinion that depositors aud
other creditors will get very little, if any
thing, after the State’s preferred claim is
satisfied. Tbe advertisement of a broker
in a city paper ot this morning proposing
to buy accounts of depositors in the bank
is believed to be a scheme by some debt
ors to get possession of such accounts to
se them as oflsets against tiieir indebted
ness to tlie bauk. Such a course would
only lessen tbe auiouut which the receiv
ers can collect from tbe bank’s debtors,
and if extensively carried out it may even
curtail the State’s recovery.
Public opinion is hardening to the con
viction that if there are now no laws to
punish adequately such gross mismanage
ment aud deception as are apparent in
this bank case, such laws ought to be
promptly enacted. Tbe fact that the chief
officers were tbe largest debtors to the
bank, and had nothing on deposit, is
strongly suggestive of a knowledge months
ago of its failing condition and of a repre
hensible concealment of it from tbe pub
lic, while those in the secret were making
the matter worse by filling their pockets.
There ought also to be a law requiring
more particular statements of the assets
of the banks iu their published quarterly
reports. If this bank bad reported among
its assets, $150,009 of worthless rolling
mill bonds, instead of making an indefi
nite report of some $350,000 of “stocks
and bonds,” the public would at once
have seen its precarious condition, and
depositors would have made a ran before
tbe few iu the secret had made such heavy
grabs. O.
Albany, Ga., May 25.—Our spring
fair opens to-morrow with bright pros
pects. Our merchants are very I’beral
with tbeir premiums, both for horticultu
ral and agricultural displays.
The case of the citizens and tax-payers
vs. the fire company, charged with the of
fense ot arson, incompetency, aud general
neglect, is now being tried. The court is
composed of three citizens and three coun-
ciluen. About a week ago they willfully
and deliberately allowed tbe kiteben of
Mr. Loomy to burn, which endangered
the residence of Mrs. Jennings and other
parties, and not a man appeared with a
red shirt on until the lire had been extin
guished by private individuals who serve
their country not only by active duty at
fires, but also serve on juries. Some of
tbe firemen claim an alibi. Others say
they were at a wedding drank, end
couldn’t spoil a ten dollar suit of clothes
for anybody’s fire. Some others (and we
don’t doubt their word in tbe least) say
they are too old aud infirm and intend to
resign anyway soon. It is to be hoped
they will. Tbe trial is the sensation of
the town, and there are fears that it will
go against the firemen and in favor of the
citizens, women and children. It ought
to for their comfort and protection, and
tbeu some old fellows we know wouldn’t
find an excuse to go down town to fire
men’s meeting so often at night.
The verdict of the people is generally
conceded to be guilty. Abolish tbe com
pany and use the engine for a street
sprinkler. We say amen.
The oat crops are better than anticipa
ted. Other crops are booming.
Talbotton, May 25.—Rumor has it

Roscoe Gonkllng, from the best I cau
hear, Is worth between $200,000 aud $400,-
000. He owns, perhaps, the best bouse in
Utica—a large mansion in a private park;
but entertaining little oompany, and his
wife having respectable means, and being
the midst of an excellent country of
produce, be can probably live at Utica for
about $3,000 a year. Whether hit pecca
dillos have been costing him anything is
not known, but it seldom happens that a
man loses bis head without bleedtog at
tbe pocket.
I was asked by a Utica man a few
months ago how Mr. Coukling got ali his
money. “Why,” said I, “the impression
is that he has very moderate means.”
“He ranks,” was tbe reply “among our
wealthiest men; and, as he has practiced
very little for years back, it has been a
matter of surprise to know how bis cir
cumstances have improved.”
I should say that Conkling had a prac
tice of $25,000 a year, which he gets by
virtue of bis political influence. Corpora
tion Counsel Whitney employed him re
cently, and could scarcely have given him
less than $5,000, and may have given him
two or three times as mueb.
I once heard David A. Wells aay that
Conkling had received a $10,000 fee for
going before a judge and asking that a
case be postponed on the ground that he
had not had time to finish bis study of ii;
and aaid Mr. Wells, “it was uever de
signed that be should argue the case, and
be never did study it; but he was given
that fee only to get that postponement,
and accepted it with that understanding,
and then told a lie.’’

“If you please, sir,” said the young
lady, timidly, as the exchange editor
banded her a chair. “I have composed a
few verses, or partially composed then,
and I thought you might help me finish
them and then print them. Ms says they
are real nice, as far as they go, and pst
takes tbe Eagle every day.”
She was a handsome creature, with
beautiful blue eyes, and a crowning glory
of golden Aair. There was an expectant
look ou her face, a hopefulness that ap
pealed to the holiest emotions, aad the
editor made up bis mind not
to crash the longing of that pure heart if
be m-ver struck another lick.
May I show von the poetry P* contin
ued the ripe, red mouth. “You will see
that I couldn't get the last lines of the
verses, and if you would please be so kind
as to help me—”
Help bar! though be bad never even
read a line of poetry, tbe exchange editor
felt the spirit of the diviue art flood his
soul as he yielded to tbe bewildering mu
sic. Help her! Well, he should simle.
“The first verse runs like this,” she went
ou, taking courage from his eyes:
“How softly sweetthe autun.a air
Tbe dying woodland fills,
And nature turns with restful care,”
“To anti-bilious pills,” added the ex
change editor, with a jerk. “It rhymes,
and it’s so. You take anybody now. Half
the people you meet are—”
‘•I suppose you know best,” interrupted
the young girl. “I hadn’t thought of it
tbst way, but you have a better idea of
such things. Now tbe second verse is
more like this:
“The dove-eyed kine upon the moor
Looked tender, meek aud aad:
While from the valley comes the roar—”
“Of the matchless liver pad!” roared
the exchange editor. “There you get it.
That finishes the cecond so as to match
the first. It combines the fashious with
poetry, and carries tbe idea right home to
the fireside. If I only had your ability in
starting a verse with my genius in wind
ing it up, I’d quit tbe shears and open in
tlie poetry business to-morrow.”
“Think so ?” asked the fair young lady.
■It don't strike me as keeping up tbe
theme.”
“You don’t want to. You want to
break tbe theme here and there. Tbe
reader likea it better. O yes! where you
keep up tbe theme it gets monotonous.”
“Perhaps that’s so,” rejoined the beau
ty, brightening up. “I didn’t think of
that. Now I’ll read the third:
“How sadly droops the dying day,
As night springs lrom tbo glen,
Aud evening twilight seems to say—”
“ ‘Tlie old man’s drunk again’ would
not do would it?” asked the exchange ed
itor. “Somebody else wrote that, and we
might be accused of plagaiism. We must
have thing original. Suppose we say,
Why did I spout my Ben?’ *’
“Is that new?” inquired tbe sweet rosy
lips. “At least I never heard it before. I
don’t know what it means.”
“New? ’Deed it’s new. Ben is the
Presbyterian name tor overcoat, aud spout
means to bock. “Why did I spout my ‘
Ben ? means. Why did I shove my top
per? O, don’t be afraid —that’s just Im
mense !”
“Well, I’ll leave it to you,” said the
glorious girl with a smile that pinned tbe
exchange editor’s heart to his spine. “This
is the fourth verae:
“The merry milkmaid’s sombre song
Re-echoes from the rocks
As silently she trips along—”
“With holes In both her socks,” by Jove!
cried the delighted exchange editor. “You
see—”
“O no, no? remonstrated the blushing
maiden. “Not that.”
“Certainly,” piotested the exchange ed
itor, warming up. “Niue to four she’s
got ’em, and you get fidelity to fact with a
wealth of poetical expression. The
wont about poetry is, yon can’t state
tilings as they are. It ain’t like prose.
But here we’ve busted all tbe established
notions, and put up an actual existence
with a veil of genuine poetry over it. I
think that’s the best idea we’ve struck
yet,”
“I don’t seem to look at It as you do,
but of course you are tbe best judge. Pa
thought 1 ought to say,
“In autumn's yellow tracks.”
“Wouldn’t that do ?”
“Do 1 Just look at it. Does tracks
rhyme to rocks ? Not in the Brooklyn
Eagle it don’t. Besides, when you say
tracks and rocks you give the impression
of some fellow heaving things to another
fellow who is scratching for safety. Socks,
on tbe other band, rhymes with rocks
and beautifies them, while it touches upon
the milkmaid, and by describing ber con
dition shows ber to be a child of the veiy
nature you are showing up.”
“I believe you aro right,” said the
sweet angel. “I’ll tell pa where he was
wrong. This is the way tbe fifth verse
runs:
“And close behiud the farmer’s boy,
Trills forth bis simple strains,
And slips behind the maideDs coy—”
“And splits his pantaloons!” Dona it
myself; know just exactly how it is. Why
bless your heart, you—”
Snip, snip. Paste. But it is with a
saddened heart that lie snips and pastes
among his exchanges now. The beautt-
ful vision that for a moment dawns upon
him has left, but the recollection In his
heart of one auubeam of fife quenched by
the shower of tear* with which she de
nounced him as a nasty brute, and went
out from him forever.
