The preacher, recognizlug the awk wardness of the situation, especially to a man of hia cloth, denied vigorously, and presumably with pious indignation, having any connection with the distillery or the sinful business. He explained his presence by saying that he and his son were paus ing by and Just dropped in for a little while. The officers, not entirely satisfied with this explanation, proceeded to the preacher’s residence, which was not far off, and searched the premises. They found a tub of malt corn concealed in a smoke-house, and took it as sufficient corroborative evidence. I in quired in what denomination this reverend gentle man pounded the pulpit, but tho information was not forthcoming. However, it will probably bo easily guessed. That a preacher, of whatever denomination, should be captured at a still on the Hnbbath morn ing, is certainly a commentary for the brethren. » of the manner of his death «• on th “ P olu ‘- . llme previous to Harwood's removal to l'! itm« r » ,utlIarwoo(1, who WM b,,8i ' V fljjp-poiu. foltai for tarty a round mil- He offer* l 9 ctt ! *v L,1 to F»rw •ttlcmeut with his creditors is not accepted.

For llent. Atlanta, April 14.—There is a pretty, cosy cot tage on Peachtree street now vacant, which is orna mented with four big crimson cards, each bearing the legend, "For Rent.” Each card represents a ff- rent real estate firm of the city. The Big Four have all been trying to rent this Uglble aud attractive place for some time, and have thns far failed to do so. H©‘ter secure a tenantbeforo tho 1st of May, gen- letut-u. This Is a very live pointer on rents in At- snta at present The New Capitol. Atlanta, April 15.—One of tho busiest places to be found Just now in Atlanta is the now Capitol building. ‘A large force of men is actively engaged, and everything Is lively about the wholo square, corresprndent inspected the work this morn ing under the conduct of Major Champaign, the clever superintendent in charge. T he building in beginning to take such shape as to give something idea of what it is to be, although it will be some time yet before It looks like a State capltol. All’ the basement work is completed, except, of course, the finish, and the work Is prog'■easing rap idly ab£7« the first floor. Standlcg on one of the immense girders on this floor, and taking In the area ot the building, the Impression Is made that it will be big enough to accommodate all the 8Ute de partments of whatever kind ot the great Slate of Georgia certainly for many generations to come. On this floor are located all the vaults provided for in the plaua and specifications. There aro five of these, aud they are now being carefully construct ed. The largest suu most important one is de signed for the treasury. The element of strength and resistance which it must have seems to lie well secured. Its floor, wslls and ceiling are solid slreta of stone, brick, iron and steel. It is a burglar de fier, and in it the State’s money, valuables books will be safe from the corrupting moth aud the thlovee who would break In and steal. Looking around tho building from tho outside one object attracts attention and involuntary criti cism. The corner-stone of Georgia marble, which was laid with such Imposing ceremonies, is * pic nous failure. The marble selected was unfor tunately variegated, and exposure to tho air aud elementa has brought out the black stains so heavily upon tho face of the stone that it is even now almost Impossible to re id the Inscriptions i* rather strange that plain white marble waa not •elected In the first place, and It would 1m> better now If itcoujd be done. A gentleman who waa prescut suggested that the defect might be cured by cutting down the stone, so ss to obliterate the in scriptions, aud place a suitable marble slab in the grand rotunda with the appropriate inscrip tons. .Vs it is, by the time the Capitol Is completed, three yean from the 1st of January last, the corner-stone will b»a blot upou the building. Mince the work began, w bile hundreds of turn have lx*-n employed upon It there baa been but casualty reported. The sui>erUitendeot hinfself was the victim. While stamliug near a workman who was chipping a atone, a piece flew off with con- slderab’e force an dstrurk him in tho right eye, in flicting a painful and seriona injury. It *a« thought at the time that be would lose tho sight of the eye entirely, but by skillful treatment and attention has almost recovered, though sight is still a little defective. from exposure in leaving th«> bouse that night, and that her health has been permanently destroyed from the effects of the illness. Mr. Reuben Arnold, as attorney for the plaintiff, filed tho writ. A Bi-qi rstf Kucounter With h llurglur, Atlanta, April 17.—Watchman Hendrick of the cs.ern aud Atlautlc road, who guards the Foundry street crossing, found Charles about 0 o'clock this lorulng trying to force his way Into a cab car with hatchet. When the watchman made for him the negro tried to brain hlui with the hatchet, Hendrick wrested the weapon from him. The negro, however, bit him severely on his hand. Four negro men attempted to rescue Charley, but lie was secured In Sharp’s drug store until Officer Clarke could be telephoned for at- the station. Tho young burglar bad In bis )>ocket three cab keys, aud it turned out ho had been engaged for months in systematically robbing Western and Atlantic cabs. Among the articles stolen was a 1*20 overcoat. None of the miuslilg goods have yet beeu recovered. Att-orney-Cjcnorat Anderson a Candidate for Ke»Klectlon. Atlanta, April 18.—Attorney-General Anderson* of Macon, waa in the eity yesterday. He will baa candidate for re-election to the office which he now holds, and will probably be opposed by Col. Hulsey, of Atlanta. The Atlanta correspondent of tho- Savannah Times in a recant article quoting CoL Hulsey, said that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction over the* fact that Attorney -General Anderson lives is Macon and that frequently parties who desire to see him on State business aro unable to do tobecatue of his absence from the Capitol. And ou this account iu of importance the employment of associate counsel was frequent aud expensive to the State. It rather singular that this correspondent, who Is In position to know the facts, that Col. Hulsey iu spite of tho matter of his candidacy should be led into a statement that Is so at variance with the actual condition of thing*. Probably never before in the history of tho State has the opinion of the Attorney-General been so often appealed to and tho employment of associate counsel been so rare. From what 1 can learn. Colonel Anderson has only onca asked thAt associate counsel be retained to assist him in aix years' service, and that in a very important case and upon the suggestion of the Governor. He Is at the capltol every week, or nearly so, and within easy reach. If he should be wanted. According to the idea put forth by Col. StUarty aud this correspondent, it is essential that not only the Attorney General but all the State house offi cials should be bona fide residents of Atlanta. This wonld bring about a nice state of affairs, tu glvo Atlanta a pre-emption on all the State* officer*.'

Un. Manning and the Secretary's brother-in- law, superintendent of the government building in New York, arc very positive in tbeir wishes to have tho Secretary resign very soon and thus have his mind'entirely freed from any thought of responsibility or anxiety about the department. The President at the pr. sent stage at affairs, is not anxious to lose the pre enee of Mr. Manning in the Celiinid, and in further ance of that desire it ha* been proposed that the Secretary take along rest, .leaving the duties to be peforuted by hia two fully competent assistant secretanes, William E. Smith and Charles S. Fairchild. Tbe administrative branch of that vast department has Is en assigned to tbe direc tion of Assistant Secretary Smith.

His appointment would have Iwen received with great favor by tbe working element of the party. Unless tbe wishes of Un.
