Dr. Armstrong anil III* Trial. Atlanta, January 24.—The tide of popular aym pathy for Dr. J. O. Ammtrong runa very high. The it of hie trial to next Tuesday haa been for the doctor. His congregation is almost a unit for his acquittal. It la aald that only ono man believes him goilty and desires his down fall. Thero is a strong feeling hero that should preju- icceed in convicting the doctor, there are many who would gladly build the doctor a church for an independent congregation. Those wno know Dr. Armstrong aay that such a thing would be im possible, as he is a thorough churchman. I heard one man say he would give $100 for an independent church, and saveral others say they would cheer fully contribute. Atlanta, January $4.—A lady, giving hsr name Mrs. Trist, died at the Kimball House to-night about 11 o’clock.

They stated that they came to Atlanta to Cincin nati* Last night Mrs. Trist give birth to a stillborn child and lingered in great agony until to-ni* It ‘ when she died. Several ladies went to the room to offer their services, but were refused admission by white nurse, a stranger.

It ia stated that a tele gram waa received to-day from the deceased’s hus band. from Washington, saying that he will be here to-morrow. Tho hotel people at this hou have not been admitted to thi room, where the woman lies dead. They regard the case as quite peculiar—don't know what to make of it Dr. James Logan attend d the lady. He left for homo early to-night. No one waa in the room when she died except the unknown white nurse and two colored women. Valuable Documents for Farmers. Atlanta, January 24.—Yesterday the Agriculture 1 Department Issued two small pamphlets of unusual importance to farmers just at this time. They are 'A Manual of Tobacco Culture for Beginners," and ■Analyses and Commercial Value* of Commercial l urtilizers and Chemical* Inspected, Analyzed and Admitted to Bale in Georgia to the 16th of January 1885." The pamphlet on tobacco culture consists of six teen pages, octavo sizes, large type, instructions for planting, cultivating, gathering and curing tobacco. From a casual peruaal of it, I find the instructions skuplo and eaay to be comprehended. ntvr pamphlets may be hail by any citizen Georgia on application to 'the Agricultural Depart ment here in Atlanta. A postal card to Commis sioner Henderson will secure either or both pam phlets. The Cartersvllle Explosion. Atlanta, January 24.—The dynamite explosion in Cartersvllle has been the. talk of the town to-day, Passengers in on the State road aald the excitement at Cartersvllle and in the country waa indescribably intense. He said one thousand men are on the hunt for Jackson, and that if they catch him he will be promptly lynched. It ia a singular coincidence that only a few weeka ago, DUl Arp, who lives near Carteravillr, should havo published a column article, in which ho de fended moonshiners and their traffic, and express ed hopes that the man who had murdered Deputy Marshal Kellett would never be captured and brought to justice.

Balding re- ceved a letter to-day from Doylo, the sculptor, stat ing that the Ben UU1 statue has been shipped from New York. Ho also got tho bill of lading. The statue will probably reach the city to-morrow. It haa been decided not to place the statue In Grant Pari:. Mrs. Edgar Thompson, the daughter of Senator Hill, haa tendered the corner of her delightful front yard, at the junction of old and new Peachtree, and it haa been definitely settled to place the statue there. It ia a most admirable location for the statue. Tbe yard ia in the form of a right angle triangle and the atatue will be placed within acute angle which lies just where these two fashionable thor oughfares conjoln.^Tbe time for the unveiling has not been fixed. It will take place in the spring, and a man of national reputation will be Invited to deliver the oration. Chief Justice Jackson Not a Prohibitionist. Atlanta. January 2?.—A good many will be sur prised as I, to learn that, although Chief Jackaon, of the Supreme Court of Georgia, ia a great temperance man, he ia not a prohibitionist, and he waa not during the recent campaign in Atlanta. I get this from nndonbeed and undoabtabte au thority. Sidewalk Say So. Atlanta, January 23.—Col. R. F. Maddox—"Bus- InesM is at a stand atill in Atlanta. Something must be done.

Officer Porter—"These green country fellows can ik more questions than a reporter. They are enongh to bore an artesian well.' 1 Atlanta's Artesian Pump. Atlanta, Ga., January 25.—Tbe new 6-inch pump the great arteniau well has come. Col. Eanm’s large rubber boots were seen dangling around the machine to-day. He is engaged in a frantic strug gle to get it in place. This is the first time in the history of tbe world that a 6-inch pump haa beeu employed to squeeze the water out of an artesian well. In most instances any well will give up wa ter if worked by a pump. It ia understood, how- fiver, that Colonel Damn and the city council, har ing spent $24,u0i> vu tue »< U**tu Woil.tR> called, and busted, are determined to call in the services of an expensive six-inch pump, just to make the water flow anyhow. Atlanta wants the world to know that when tier artesian well ought to flow and wont flow, ahe’ll make it flow—if she has to retain the services of Colonel Baum’s rubber boots and a brand new alx-inch pump to do It. ButO, Conscript Father, If ye have no other name to call it by, aay pump! Arlesian well is a misnomer—in tbe ab sence of an involuntary stream. Pumpity— pump! —pump, pump! _ Supreme Court of Georgia.

The mica of thia State is exceptionally fine. As I learn from Mr. McCutcheon, the geologist agricultural department the beds have not been worked at all in com mensuration with their commercial value. The transportation of mica in comparison to its bulk value, is comparatively cheap; for It ia worth from 20 cents to $10 per pound, according to the size sheets in which it is found. The average aheeta here are superior. The belt of mica reaches from Carroll county in a northeast direction to Macon county. Roberson and a few other isolated coun ties, have valuable deposits of mica. Elbert and the adjoining counties southeast, have good de posits. In Paulding county a new company la now work log a prolific mine, which promises large returns. Thera seems to be, no doubt, that the mica beds of Georgia have a very decided value, and the de velopment will prove of great pecuniary value Our citizens.

Artesian Wells. Editor, TFi.Kos.trii: Hevernl weeks itfjo it wits stated iu tho Atlanta Constitution that Dr. Joseph LeContc, tho distinguished professor of geology in tho University of California, had predicted, thirty your* nqo, tbe impracticability of finding water by boring artesian wells in Southwest Geor gia, und that Captain John Fort, without any pretensions to scientific attainments, had proved the contrary, and thus estab lished the superior value of sound common sense to the deductions of science. Dr. LcContc stands in the front rank of scientists in this or any other country, and from an answer to n letter I addressed to him several weeka aince, I will make the following extract: ‘T have never, to my knowledge, been consulted or asked an opinion; nor have ~ given an opinion of any kind concerning the probability of getting artesian water in Southwest Georgia, much less tho absnrd one attributed to me." In Dr. Le Contis' work, "The Elements of Geology,” trader the head of Artesian Wells, page 09, wo find as follows: "Thus there is on oil coasts a constant flowing of water, both superficial and subterranean, into the sea. Their relative amount it' impossible to determine. Much depends upon the configuration of tho country and the nature of the strata. Tha heavy hydro static pressure to which subterranean water is subjected, especially in elevated countries, brings a larger portion of it to the snrface as springs. Bnt, in limestone regions, (thia rock being affected with freauent and large fissures, and open subterranean paaaagea, as will be hereafter explained), large sub terranean rivers often exist, and these, even after coming to the surface, are often re- engulfed, and finally reach the sea by sub terranean passages. The largest springs, therefore, generally occur In limestone countries. It ia well know that nearly the whole of southwest Georgia rests upon a bed of lime stone as described in tha above extract*, and, as numerous experiment* have proved, the allegation made against Mr. Le Conte's knowledge of tbo geological features of that portion ia simply preposterous and not worthy of a moment a consideration. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the silly state ment alluded to in the commencement of this article will not be peated to the annoyance of a gentle man who is punctillions in his advocacy of truth a* his attainment* in science ore va ried and profound.

Miss Elizabeth M. Belt, a pretty woman, who says the is a type writer at Union Square, was brought to the Tombs yesterday by Detective Heidelberg, and Ja cob It. Bnipkeril of Petuvian fame came in and sat beside her; Alfred McK. Post, who lives at the B&rrett Houso and says he is an adjuster, accuses her of grand larcony. Ho says that on June 3 last he instructed Miss Belt to take Mrs. Post’s $500 sealskin clonk, with beaver fur trimmings, to Simp son's pawn shop and borrow $60 on it. This Miss Belt did, and gave Mr. Post tbe $60 and kept the pawn ticket Cold weather enme on again, and Mr. Post says ho osked Miss Belt for tho pawn ticket He says that sho kept putting him off until he determined upon having her arrested. Miss Belt says that Mr. Post nover asked her for tbe pawn ticket She produced it in court. Detective Heidelberg says the girl has a counter claim for $312 against Mr. Post. Miss Belt was called up to Clerk McGow an's desk to undergo the formal examina tion to which every prisoner is submitted. Miss Belt tried to answer the questions, but wept instead. The venerable Mr. Shipbetd lushed up to her side and said to Mr. Mc- 'swan: "I would thank you if you' would defer thia examination for jtut a little." “You ain’t got anything to say here. You ain't this lady’s counsel. All wo want is to take her formal examination," Detective Heidelberg said. “I'm not her attorney," Mr. Shipherd ■aid, “but I'm Miss Belt's counsel und ad viser in a variety of matters.” “He has known me all my life,” Miss Belt explained, tbo tears welling np ngain in her eyes. Shipherd made way for Miss Belt to go hack to her seat, Heidelberg went over and brought her back, insisting tlmt she mnst tell her name and birthplace and residence and occupation. She did, and then she wns paroled into the custody of her counsel, Junes H. Elliott, who hod come in. Mr. Shipherd said to Justice OUeilly: “No honester lady liras in this city, your honor. I havo known her and her family in Georgia for years, and no better and honester people aver lived. Miss Belt car ries a letter of introduction from Governor Brown, of Georgia, to some of the best poo- ile in this city, among others the late Tliur- ow Weed. He was much interested in her." • A FOORHOUSEBURNED. Five of Its Inmates Lose Their Lives—' Name*. Jackson, Mich., January 24.—The coun ty poorhouso was almost entirely destroyed by fire this morning. Thero were forty in mates, and all escaped bnt five, who per ished in the flames. Tho remains of vic tims were brought to the city to-day. The dead are aa follows: Dolly Martin, aged GO, insane, an inmate foi twelvo years; Kale Avary, aged 70, insane, on inmate for ten y«hra; Jano Atkins, aged tt). ieaass.

The fire, tho origin of which is unknown, broke out in the kitchen and the whole interior wns destroyed. The tbennometerat the time registered ten degrees below zero. All the inmates lost their clothing, rushing out into the (now in a naked cuudition. Thirty of the panpers were brought to the i ity and housed. Home of these will die fi ora the effects of tbe exposure they wero subjected to. John Doherty, a hired man, hronglit three of tbe lunatics down a fire es. npo in his arms, thus saving their lives. An im becile boy, nineteen years of age, was found in bed, eutl was rescued by means of the fire escape. There wero only two nun be sides the inmates about the place when the fire broke ont, und they rescued the inmates before other help arrived. \V. M.

A YVORM IN HER LUNG. inary 25.—The Repub- can members of the Ohio Senate contin ued in session from 10 o'clock this morn ing, and it was the intention to have ad journed at 4 p. m. unless the Democrats put in an appearance. As the latter hour approached and it had been lonrncil tlmt a majority of the members would be thero on time, the Senate chamber filled up rap idly. Half on hour before the joint meet ing all available spaco had been appropri ated. Among tbe spectators were a large number of local politioians of both parties, each ono claiming that the other had the boll packed for emergeney. There was plenty of anxiety and any number who were ready to fight at a moment's warning. The ser geant-at-arms took advantage of the situ ation. before the arrival of the Democratic members to dear the floor. As the major ity members filed in they were greeted with applause by the Republicans, who apparent ly construed their presence to be an admis sion of defeat. The sergeant-at-arms soon quieted the demonstration and the tactics of Friday afternoon were proeeeded with. The cell of the Scnato showed all members present, and a motion to dispense with far ther proceedings under the call would not be entertained by tbo clinlr, he holding the call had exhausted itself by the presence of all members. Over an hour wits spent in discussing an appeal from his decision, which was afterwards withdrawn, and the chair allowed tho motion to dispense with further proceedings to he voted upon. There was no apparent point to be gained either way on a contest over this motion. In the flood of suhseqnent motions and appeals which followed, the Republican* were insisting upon the order of the day and endeavoring to get the oontest cases before the Senate, while tbe Democrats were engaged in on effort to get before the body's resolution which had been agreed upon in caucus, proposing the appoinment f a Gommittecjto consider tbe constitutional and legal relations existing between the Senate and its presiding officer. A Repub lican Senator had been recognized, and was about to report the trial of the con test case when a motion was mode on the Democratic aide to adjourn. The chair held thia and several other motions of a dillatory nature not to be in order.' Mr. Pavey, Republican, yielded tbe floor to Mr. Cable, Democrat, for n question of privilege, and tho member was proceeding to state hit question and making the Democratic caucus resolu tion a part of the same, but the choir held that nothing waa in order except rules in contest cases. The Democrats being una ble to get their resolution before the Senate, a final motion was mode to adjourn, and a ilet.niiid wns mode by.the l)‘u that the clerk proceed with the fall call. Tbe President St first endeavored to drown the voice of the clerk with his gavel, bnt he finally become quiet, and the roll was called. Twenty-elx members voting for ad journment, the Democratic members rose from their seats and walked out while the elerk banded the roll to the President to be announced. That official tore the roll in several pieces and threw it on the floor, while the orowd surged in front of tha railings and the grentost con fusion and violent demonstration prevailed. The clerks all left their places, and as soon aa partial order conld be restored, the President read the rules himself, which bod been offered by Mr. Pavey, with one of tho senators at the clerk’s desk. The Republican minority voted on the rules, and they were declared adopted. In results tho Henate proceed ings are about where they wero this morn ing.

Her narrow eecape led a physician of thin county to relate in the Elberton Leader the following actual occurrence: During the yeer 1857 or 1858 one of my neighbors bad a negro woman taken sick.

Blisters *ad been applied, and the naual constitutional treatment for acute disease* of the hip Joint, bnt to no purpose. I will never forget tbe unspeakable agony expressed in her countenance. Her breathing was hurried. Her cries feeble, yet heartrending. An examina tion revealed no aoreucae or swelling about the blp, and it/ waa evident that she ha d mialocatod the pain. Auscultation and percussion abowed that there wae an occlnaion of the air-cells throughout tbe right lung.
