At the steam Rin of W G. Lewis, E»q.,
miles below Cairo, on Tuesday Mr. Levyj
Harper was shot by Mr. Jewe Cono. It
aeems that there has been bid blood be
tween ihe parties for some time past, and
Mr. Cone hod threatened to kill Mr. Harper
right.
On the dgy mentioned, while Harper was
loading his wagon with cotton seed. Cone
and his nephew passed by, and after some
words had passed between Harper and the
elder Cone, the latter drew his pistol
and begin to shoot. One of the ballt en
tered tlie right shoulder, in front just above
the collir bone, ranging backwards, and
haw not been found.
When the ball struck Mr. Harper bo fell,
and the younger Cone sprang on him; but
in the meantime the wounded man had got
his knife in his hand and he began to carve
away in such au earnest way tuat Cone was
obliged to release his hold The eider Cone
emptied the live burels of his pistol, but
only one shot took effect. Mr. Harper
came to the city in the afternoon and was
attended by Dr. McIntosh, who does not
consider the wound dangerous. A warrant
was issued for tho arrest of the two Cones.

Mrs. Erwin Hays, an old iady about 70
years old, living in Jackaou county, on the
Athens and Jefferson road, fourteen miles
above this city, met with an accident on
Sunday night last that reaulted in her death
the following day. It seems that for some
time Mrs. Hays's mind had been affected,
but no restraint waa kept over her. On
the Sunday night mentioned the old lady
was wandering arouod the honse with a
lamp in her hand, when it ia supposed she
either dropped the lamp or it exploded,
scattering the oil over her person, that at
once became a solid sheet of lit me. The
family beard her screams, and rusted to
her rescue, but it waa loo late to save tbe
victim's life. Her olotbing was torn off,
but her body was fearfully burned. Mrs.
Hays lingered in great agony nntil Monday,
when she died.

Henry Eason, a “brother in black,” be
tween sixty and seventy yesrs old, stole an
overcoat from a yonng 'man in this city
some time last year. The police wero noti
fied at tbe time of the theft, and kept n
sharp lookont for the coat and thief, but
Hepry’s age and experience prompted him
to conceal it until the affair would proba
bly be forgotten. Yesterday morning,
thinking all danger past, be brongbt forth
the coat from its place of .occealment and
sold it to Ed. Washington, another colored
brother. The first time, however, that Ed
donned the coat, he was taken in by the
tolioe, but quickly explained bow it came
n his possession. The officers at once ar
rested Henry on Ed's statement, and in leas
than half au honr afterwards bo hud been
tried and sentenced to six. months in the
chain-gang or a fine of $25 and costs.

On last Sunday night Crawford Estes,
son of Mr. William Kites, who resides on
the Sadler place oo the Savannah river,
came near losing his life in a runaway
scrape. He had carried tome yonng ladies
home and waa returning, when accidentally
the wheel of the baggy struck a stump and
the bnggy was upset, throwing Crawford be
tween the wheel and the body. Intbis po
sition he was dragged perhaps a half mile
over a rugged road to hts father's gate. His
clothiog waa literally rubbed off, and his
held aud person most terribly braised, but
no bonea were broken. Tho horse stopped
at tbe dwelling of Mr. Estes, when Craw
ford was found to be unconscious. Lockjaw
resulted, aud while some belter at last ac
count, he is still in a very critical condition.

Til. ltnxRsrde Around Albany.
Tbs Nave.
Tbe buzzards around Albany are about ns
gentle and seem as much at home as ever
those of Charleston did. The protection
that the provisions of the law afford them
seems to give to these best of scavengers an
air akin to that worn by protected monopo
lists, and they enjoy the freedom of tbe
town and take every privilege accorded
them. The days of rilLs, when they were
kiiied fur the wing-bones, of which chargers
wero made, being past, there is no exense
for shooting them, and they are mnltiplying
rapidly.

THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE.
The Ceremony Which le to Take Place tn
Westminster Abbey.
New York World'. Cable.
London, October 25.—The Qneen has d<
elded,after some hesitation,that tbe thank
giving service in honor of her jubilee should
on Monday, Jnne 2D, at 3 o'clock, in West
minster Abbey, and not in St. Psnl’a Cathe
dral, as had been generally anticipated.
Efforts were made to secure a different de
cision, bnt unsuccessfully, a fact which is
greatly;to be regretted, as 8U Patti's Cathe
dral is admirably adapted for such a oere
monial, while the abbey is the worst porai
ble place for it. The service in the calhr
drat, where it onght to be aooordiug to all
precedent, would have Involved a proo6.-
•lon.from one end ofj London ti tho other,
while .the progress from Buckingham
Palace to the grand entrance of the Abbey
will be a no greater affair than the mere
opening of Parliament. At St. Paul's every
body oonid be qnite well aocomtuo lated,
whereas at the Abbey the bulk of the oon
greg ition will be in tbe nave, and an the
organ-screen shuts them < tt from the choir,
they will neither hear nor see mnch of tbu
service. It is to be hoped that the matter
will be reconsidered, and that the Queen
may be indaced to consent to have this
great and solemn function held in 8t.
Paul's, which certainly is tbe proper place
for it. Nothing has been settled as to tbe
orJer of the divine service, hot it will be
Tery short, principally musical, wit'
brief sermon by the prims e. The
Abbey will he given np lo the
lord chamberlain by the deaq
on the occasion of a coronation and all the
necessary arrangements will be made by
the great officers of tba household. Ac
cording to a sketch of the order of the
proposed ceremony there is to be a proces
sion np the nav« into the choir of the
Qneen,‘the royillies, the ambosssdon, the
great officers of state, the ministers, the
Speaker and other personages. The aervice
will also be attended officially by the peers

The Socialists Creaie a Big Stir tu Garmaa
Politics.
Bkrijn, October 30.—Preparations for
tbe next yeai’s elections tor members of tbe
Reichstag are actively proceeding. Efforts
are being ruadn toward effecting new pump
ing* of tbe different parties. Hence
tbe recent declaration of the
leading principles of the programme
of Ihe National Liberals, which i i to server
connection with 'he 1'iogrossiatH nnd to
support the government, the proje :t has
been discnss -il for an alliance between the
National Liberate and Conservatives, to
form a middle party, essentially nations!
i.nd governmental iu character, and hostile
to the Progressists and to tbe Centre party
alike.
The Kreus /riling is not » favor of the
project, bnt the Conservative Correspond
ence supports tho scheme, staling that the
conditions of an alliance should be the de
velopment of a military organization by the
Empire for the proteolion of the Btate
agaiust Socialist riots, while eoutipuiDg the
work of social reform, and monified
support of the government's fiscal meas
ures, notably tbs spirit tax bill. These pro
posals have not rectived the approval of the
government. .
The National Liberal leader, Herr Von
Bennigzen, reported to regard the propo
sals with favor.
Another significant political movement
was disclosed at tbe Volksparte conference
held at Furtb, where a programme was
formulated, which indioates an inclination
on the part cf tbe Radicals and Progressists
towards tbe Socialists.
Herr Nounemon, of Frankfort, the leader
cf the Volksparte, in a remarkable speech
arged union between tbe Progressists and
8ocialists for the common purpose of po
litical defense and offense. It was neces
sary, he said, to work together in order to
obtain a pacific development of Germany
without revolution or making political con-
quests subserve assurance of social misery.
The proposals of Herr hotneman
receiving the support of
numerous members - iu 'Westphalia and
others parts of the province. The leaders
of the Volksparte have derided to elabo
rate for coming elections the now anion
programme of the Socialists.
The meeting of Socialists at Gothard dis
cussed Germany's attitude toward Russia.
After an address by Herr Buckoof,
deputy. a resolution was adopted
stating that every increase in the power of
ltnssia was a grave danger to tba interest of
Europe, and especially to the development
of Germany, and therefore recommending
that tho gnverment bo persistent iu its re
sistance to the Russian policy.

ble comment on the action of uovernor McLanui
in Issuing the executive order yesterday In ref*,
ence to the cancellation of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad bonds. Tbsre is an impression
that this action of the Gov. raor waa hasty and ai-

tertalued by many good and Intel Igsnt men lu the
Btat* that the legislative resolution providing for the
cancellation of theso bonds is unconstitutional and
cannot stand, and that an effort is to be made both
11 tbe courts and in the next General Assembly, to
•n it aside. This fact was brought to the Govern
or's notice nflcUlly by thv service of the restrain
ing erder on Treasurer Hardeman. Indeed, in the
Governor's easentive order, Issued yesterday, it ap
pears that be recognizes that Ihe injunction granted
by Judge Fain is on the Treasurer, and until thai
questlou is dttegftined, he cannot ourrender tho
bonds. That being trwe, Governor Mo-
Dsniel's enter is practically a nullity,
exc pt eo far aa it may influence the determination
of the question of unoonatUutlonality, A careful
reading of tba order ahowa that the Governor thinks
tho court will dismiss tho bill, and he so Intimate®
In th* order.
The beet opinion eeemalo be tbal tbe Governor
ought not to have Issued this order. When the
court passes on the Injunction the Governor of the
Bute can take auoh actio* as is proper.

N. Y. gun.
All sorts of reports were current yester
day about tbe disposition Mrs. Htewart bad
made of her property in tbe will. An old
friend of Mrs. Htewart's told a Sun reporter
that at Mr. Stewart's death tbe estate was
worth about $20,000.0(10. He did not think
it bad increased as mnoh since ss the pub
lic imagined, if, indeed, it bad increased at
all. Mrs. Stewart, be said, gare large sane
In charity, without any ostentation, and
made large allowances to her sisters and
other relatives.
Mr. Horace Hassell, speaking of Mr. Hil
ton, eeid that tbe reports about Mrs. Stew
art’s will were mere oonjectnres. He con
sidered it unbecoming to epeakof tbe will
nntil it should bare been mode pablio.
“Tbe report ibet tbe house will be given
to the Union Cinb I am ceitsin'is not true,"
Ur. Russell sold. "Ur. Stewart was not a
member of tbe dob, and never set foot in-
aide its honse. There is another story,
printed this afternoon, to the effect that
Mrs. Htewart bad armug-d with Mr Hilton
to turn tbe bouse into a dry goods store; it
uts also that Ur. William ii. Astor bid
left Ms boose on tbe upper oorner of tbe
block because be could not get Mrs. Stew
art to dungs her mind about the store.
Tbe story is perfectly absurd. Mr. Astor
never lived on the nppor comer of the
iiiock, bat does iive on ue upper oorner of
the blcok below; and be has not moved
from there. Another story is to tbs effect
that the Oermani* Insurance Company 1*
trying to got tbe hoaee; that story I know
to be abeolnlely false. All the reports are
mere conjectures, originated by people who
bavesonroe. of informal i m— of a eertain
sort—not open to any of M .a Stewart's in
timate frienda or relatives.’'
Tbe crypt in the cathedral at Garden City
was opened yesterday, and made ready to
receive tbe body of Mrs. Stewart.

the horses for holding their .hones and
throwing the race. The suspension was
confirmed, and made permanent at the

The Kuishta object to W. A. Hemphill for tbe
reason that he is on* of tbe proprietors of the
Atlanta Constitution, and tbs business manager of
that paper, with which the city has large dealings.
They do not think him on this account a proper
man to put on th* board.
It is timber stated in reference to Mr. HsmphUl
that he will not receive the support of the members
of tbe Typographical Union.
The Knight® will object to J.H M*ca»lin for aider-
man because he ia preaideut of the AtiautaGas Light
Compauy, with which Ufa city has business d al*
logs.
'i hey will also object on the same line to L. B.
Nelson as councilman from the Fourth wapl, be
cause he is president cf tho Uat® City Htrcet Gar
Companyi which corporation, during (he r ext ad
ministration, may seek valuable privileges from
theoity. Auoitier objeotpm already mads to Mr.
Nelson Is that he Is understood to be a Republican.
Tbe Kulght* have solicited Mr. T. J. Buchanan,
th* Decatur e(re«t groceryman, to run against
Nelson and if he decline*. tb*-y will probably put
up Mr. H. Mtlsfludou, a unck yard proprietor, who
has been approached already on the auojuct.
I hear that the Knights had a caucus over the
matter Friday night,aud that the Uotton operatives'
Assembly of Knight* discussed It at their meeting

of the co'.ored voters of the city are kicking be

colored Knights of Lalnr are talking of scratching

ALCOHOL AND OITUM.

Atlanta, October 91 —^“Do you know that alco

"Only last nlvbt 1 few several men go into that
drug store (pointing acrjei the street), buy alcohol,
ome out, go across tbs strest to that hydrant, drink
the horrible stuff, and drink U down with a relish.
Among tbsae was au old man. once a most respecta
ble citizen of Atlanta. I aaar h'm go Into th* drng
■tore, and knew what he was after. I went in and
said to th* druggist: ‘You ought not to sell that
old mgn alcohol. It's killing him. and it's dead
wrong.'"
" *1 can't help It," said the drapglat; ‘be says he
wants It for medical purposes, and th* law allows
me Pi do that.'
•••V#ry true,' said I. "I’m not talking about th*
law-its the inhumanity of tbe thing.” end 1
walked out Th® old man soon came oot with a
bottla of alcohol lu hie hand, and followed by a
party of man. went around the corner where they
arauk It np in a Mrs. One or two drinks
of alcohol won't hurt a man. but if he'U Ja*t stick
to it for awhile it will kill him quicktr than the
most fiery brand of whiaky ever dwUUed,”
• Do uivu buy It all over town?*
"tfby. yes. 1 b#*rd of three c entry man who
went into a wholesale store and begged the mer
chant to (ell thru where they c-uhl g«t a drink. He
■aid they couldn't bay auv whLkw in A'Unta, but
could get all tbe slconol th*y wanted. They want
to a drug store and bought e bottle, and. after
diluting it with water, took a big drink apiece, and
declared Ih chorus that it waa a very fine drink,
just as goed a® tb® best corn whisky,”
••Alcohol is Intoxicating, than?.’*
••Well. 1 should say so. It to tb* strongest stlmn-
