to these); and it is but simple justice to
the majority ot the students to remember
this. Personally speaking, I observed
among the young gentlemen whom I met,
that refinement of courtesy and conduct
characteristic of the University.
Some evidences of disorder in recitation
rooms did come under the observation of
the board. This, however, may be partly
attributed to the influence of the interreg

the honored chancellor, in whom author

AN INTERESTING EVENT.

What Wa* Expected at Fort Valley Yester
day Hid Not Occur.
Yesterday morning early Mr. Claud
Estes, of tlie firm of Lyon & Estes, attor
neys for the Central railroad, was in
structed to take the first train for Fort
Valley, os his services might be needed
there. ‘ .
It had been understood in some way
that a force of the Atlanta and Florida
railroad would seek to lay track on the
Central’s property, and this the Central in
tended to prevent. The Atlanta line had
reached the Central’s right-of-way on one
side of the town, bat had stopped there.
Between the track of the Central and the
Harris House is a strip of laud belonging
to the Central. It has long been the in
tention oi the road to build another track
on it for the nse of the Periy train, and
when it was heard that the Atlanta line
intended to lay their track upon
it, many thought there would be
fun. On Thursday when Major Kline,
the superintendent of the Southwestern
passed over the road on his way to Macon
he saw the pegs of the Atlanta road on the
Central’s right of way. He took it for
granted, with what lie had heard, that it
was the design of the new road to hastily
lay a track on the strip and thus shut out
tlie Central in a measure. Under the
laws of this State land belonging to a rail
road can be condemned for railroad pur
poses just as though it belonged to an indi
vidual. The track can be lsid on it, and
it can be condemned and ippraiseib after
ward. Knowing this Maj. Kline thought
it best to see that the Central laid down a
track first ami thus keep away
tlie Atlanta line from that par
ticular spot. In consequence a large num
ber of workmen and hundreds of rails and
crosstics were sent to Fort Valley to begin
work on the new side-track at once.
On the arrival of Mr. Estes in Fort
Valley lie found that the fears had been
groundless. No effort whatever had been
made liv the Atlanta company to lay down
the track, and negotiations were pending
between the presidents of tlie two lines for
the land. This, Major Kline did not
know, and when so informed wired Mr.
Estes to hold up. Mr. Estes then returned
home on the afternoon train.
The best relations exist between the
authorities of the two roads, and it is quite
E reliable that there will be po difference
etween them.
CHANGED HF-It TUNE.
What Happened at the Jail the Ollier Hay
—A Frightened Woman.
A funny thing happened at the jail the
other day. Constable Henderson carried a
negro woman down on a peace warrant
and she was locked up in one of the cells
near the office. While the constable was
in the office talking to the jailer, the wo
man began calling for Jailer Birdsong and
in such a way as to be annoying. The
constable told her to shut up. She could
not we him, and not recogniiing his voice
she yelled back, “Who are you?” and
then the following col oJjuy ensued:
“Never mind wlio I am, Mr. Birdsong is
gone and you can’t see him.”
“Is vou black or white?”
"Don’t make any difference what I am,
you’d better shut up.”
“You’se some old thief, I’ll bet, and yon
ought to be on the chaingang.you good-for-
nothing scamp. I’ll bet you are in here
for some of your rascality."
And for some time she went on to abuse
who she thought wsa a fellow prisoner,
and then wound up her tirade by asking
his name.
“My name is Woolfolk, and when I get
out of here I’ll go for you,” said the con-
stable.
“On Mr. Woodfork, I didn't mean any
thing, I always said you was innocent.
Oh, Mr. Woodfork don r t think hard of me
and I’ll pray for you every night. Oh
Ludy,” and the woman fell on her knee*
and went to praying in good order.
To calm her fears the constable went to
her cell and told her how she had been
talking to him instead of the noted prison
er. But it Ls evident that it will be a long
time before the poor woman will get over
her fright.

“I give yeu a name entwined with vic

have used more poetic words in setting
forth the same idea. A few samples of

The Marriage of Mia* Fanny Gordon to
Sir. Ilitrtou Smith.
From the Washington Critic.
Mrs. and Miss Gordon, the wife and
daughter of Governor Gordon, of Georgia,
were here lately on a visit and were enter
tained at a breakfast at Oak View by Mrs.
Cleveland. Miss Gordon will be married
in Atlanta on the 19th of June, to Mr.
Burton Smith of that city. Two thousand
invitations have been issued for the cer
emony at the church, and there will be a
email informal.reception at the Governor’s
mansion later in the evening. They will
travel for a month or six weeks and spend
August at “Sutherland,” Governor Gor
don’s country seat near Atlanta. Part of
the bride's elegant trousseau, including the
wedding dress, was made in this city by
Mr. T. W. Grimes, Connecticut avenue and
L street.
The wedding gown is of ivory white
moire, and especially designed for Miss
Gordon’s style, who is tall and has a grace
fully-rounded figure. The waist was high
necked, being cut away slightly in a V
shape at the back and square in front, and
filled in with tulle thickly ruched to the
high collar band. The edge was outlined
by closely-set rows of fine silver braid, the
same trimming on the vest, which ran to a
sharp point in front, dividing on either
side soft folds of the tulle, which hung
loose from the square puli' at the neck.
The elbow sleeves were of shirred and
tucked tulle. The skirt had an eflective
E anel on the right side of the silver braid,
ordered by a scarf of the moire, caught at
the hem with a reset e of tulle. The other
side was covered with flnffy folds of tulle.
The train fell in deep organ plaits without
trimming. Another costume was of black
silk net, satin striped, made over black
silk and jauntily trimmed with narrow
moiro ribbons.
A yachting dress of red . and cream-
striped flannel had a kilted skirt witli a
broad apron overskirt, and the jacket, tight
in the back, hid loose fronts to be belted
in with * band of flannel. There was a
separate shirt front of white flannel to
wear inside the broad sailor collar and a
natty scarf tie of cream surah. An ex
ceedingly stylish wrap was of sage green
cloth with loose fronts closing diagonally
from the left shoulder and fitting tight in
the back. It was bordered with Persian
embroidery in dull gilt and harmonizing
silk shades. The sleeves were something
of n wrap shape, square at the ends anil
slit half way up. This dainty little

A FEMALE llORGIA.
An Iowa tVomnn Relieved to Have

He married his mother-in-law. He is
dead. She is in jail. He died from poison,
and she is charged with giving it to him.
The parties lived ut Villisca, in this coun
ty. The name of the dead man is George
K. Johnston. He was a laborer, and his
wife took in washing. Johnston was taken
sick and in two weeks died. The doctor
first thought he was suffering from
billious attack, but noted symptoms of
poisoning a day or so before death came. lie
called another physician,-who agreed that
the symptoms were those of poisoning. A
post mortem examination proved that they
were correct; the dead man’s stomach was
fonnd to contain a quantity of arsenic.
Ahnnt the time Johnston was taken sick
his wife bought a box of “Bough on
on Bats.” While the post-mortem was in
progress she was discovered secreting the
box, whicn was nearly empty She had
boon heard to remark tnat her husnand
wax no account, and that she would be
better off without him. When Johnston
was first taken sick site objected to calling
a doctor, and Johnston got his brother to
summon one, objecting to his wife
doing it, which she offered
to do upon hearing him ask his
brother. 'The coroner’s jury declared
that poiaon was the cause of death, but
shrank from specifying aa to the prisoner,
adding the words, “administered by some
person or persona unknown.” So the wo
man was not arrested on a coroner’s war
rant. But after the funeral Oscar John
ston, brother of the dead man, swore out
an information charging the widow with
administering the poison. State Attorney
Beeson went to the Villisca from here to
conduct the preliminary examination,
which lasted the better L part of three days,
and has just been concluded, with the re
sult of holding the woman to answer.

is stated that her other husbands, who died

From the Covington Star.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Ms-
con Telegraph says there are eighty ap
plications for retail liquor licenses now in
the hands of the police commissioners of
that city, and that they will be acted upon
at the next meeting of the commissioners,
which takes place on the 18th inst. Now,
the question arises: Who is it that does
the drinking in Atlanta to warrant all
these applications? It it possible that it
is all done by the anti-proliibitimii.-t-

NEW Yore, June t6.—Ilubbard, Price &
Co.’s cotton circular says: The contract
market was rather a narrow one, and while
price- for summer months hove shown a gain
of three points for the. day, there appears
to be nothing significant in that beyond the
timid feeling amongst a few of the traders
on the -hurt side, who came in as bears to
cover. Short- seemed to be buying for ac

CHICAGO -CHANGE.
ut tbs Day's Baslnoss in the Grain
and Provision Pits.
Chicago, June 16.—When business open
ed on ’Change to-day, it was quite evident
that the spirit of liquidation was general.
There were a few exceptions and a few bold
takers of cereals, but this only served for
alight rallies and checked the downward
tendency. By noon the conservative feel
ing of the morning gave way to a renewal of
vigoron- liquidation. Large quantities of
long wheat came out and July, which opened
tmcu&iiSsd nt 52/s, after seining down to
81% early and retifming to 82 or about the
closing price last night, took a second
plunge and went to 80K, with a slight rally
to 81.’,. As against the spirit of realizing
and liquidation, there was little to encourage
buying. Clearances were small. There was
some buying by export to the continent
The weather and crop news grows more
bearish every day. The outside estimate
does not put the visible supply decrease at
over one million bushels. July closed at
81/4.
Corn was quite active to-day and and at
times considered excited, with transactions
heavy and at lower range of prhes. The
bears were particularly favored by circnm.
stances. The shipments yesterday were
light, the weather was the best possible for
the growing crop, wheat was panicky, the es
timates for Monday were large, and it was
figured that local stocks had increased fully
one million bushels during the week. With
tuts array of foots on their side the bears
sailed in, one operatorled the ball by dump
ing 750,000 bushels of July and be was fol
lowed by other large firms, while a small
army of lightweight professionals brought
up the rear. Values took a wild plunge
downward. July opened at 51’» and brought
up shortly afternoon at 50M> Here there
was enormous buying to prevent a further
slump. Hutchinson was a free buyer from

There was no very large trade, but tho

Provisions were rather slow and weakened
early in sympathy with wheat and corn, but
later became stronger and rallied, and the
last sales were at practically the same prices
at yesterday. Scalpers were the principal
traders, but were not at all aggressive. July

NEW YQHK STOOK BOARD.
Ohnrncter and Extnnt of Basinets Done In
Listed Stocks Yesterday.
New York, June 16.—The stock market
was quite active to-day, especially in spots,
but the tone of dealings wa, strong and
material gains were made throughout the
list, many stocks closing at the highest prices
for the week. There was a dearth of news
but meagre advices from the West were of a
reassuring nature and grangers were promi
nent, both for activity and strength. The
special feature was new England, which was
very strong. The buoyancy in that stock was
attributed to interests closely allied to the
property and a prominent Boston house was
conspicuous in the dealing, bidding for large
lots. London bought the market at the
opening, and prices began to advance imme-
liately. New England, Louisville and Nash
ville, Northern Pacific and grangers led the
market and values moved up rapidly during
the first hour, but after that time sales for
realizing kept the market down, though the
advance met with no set-back. The market
closed quiet and strong at the best figures.
The sales aggravated 115,000 shares.

Long-Standing
Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering use of Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alterative, and
causes a radical change in the system.
Tlie process, in some cases, may not bo
quite so rapid as in others; but, with
persistence, tho result ls certain.
Bead these testimonials : —
“For two years I suffered from a se
vere pain in my right side, and had
other troubles caused by a torpid liver
and dyspepsia. After giving several
medicines a fair trial without a cure, I
began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I
was greatly benefited by the first bottle,
and after taking five bottles I wax com
pletely cured.’—John W. iJonxou, 70
Lawrence st., Lowell, Mass.
Last May a largo carbuncle broke out
on my arm. The usual remedies hail no
effect and I was confined to my bed for
eight weeks. A friend induced me to try
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than threo
bottles healed the sore. In all my expe
rience with medicine, I never saw morn
Wonderful Results.
Another marked effect of tho uso of this
medicine was the strengthening of my
sight.” —Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly
Springs, Texas.
“ I had a dry scaly humor for years,
and suffered terribly; and, as my broth
er and sister were similarly afflicted, I
presume the malady is hereditary. Last
wiuter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina,
Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year.
For five months I took It daily. I have
not had a blemish upon my body for tho
last three months.’’—T. E. Wiley, 140
Chambers st., New York City.
“ Last fall and winter I was troubled
with a dull, heavy i>»iu in my side. £
did not notice it much at first, but it
gradually grew worse until it became
almost unbearable. During the latter
part of this time, disorders ot tho stom
ach and liver increased my troubles. I
began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and,
after faithfully continuing the use of
this medicine for some months, the pain
disappeared and I was completely
cured." — Mrs. Augusta A. Furbusb.
Haverhill, Mass.
