The hottest part of the. summer has passed away, and nobody is sorry. There was considerable money won and lost on the ball game yesterday. The watermelon season has been very satisfactory to Georgia growers this year. Work on the Mayer & Crine block Is getting along nicely, and the lot pre sents a busy scene. The official returns from all but ten counties In Alabama give Gov. Jones almost 18,000 majority. Hon. Jko. T. Boikkuim.kt, of Bibb, will make a strong race for the Speak' ershtp of the next House.

If there are no people on Mars there is no People’s Party there—and no Watson.. Let’s goto Mars for ourCold Tea.—St. Louis Republic. Misfortunes never come, singly. After a rest of several months from flres, three have occurred in bur city in less than a week’s time. Victoria says she lias no need for a session of Parliament at this time, so she has dismissed her Lords und Com mons, and sent them home. Word comes from Terrell county that thp Stevensitos and nntl-Stevens- ites are all coming over to the Con gressional convention next week. Watson says lie has been maligned by the press. It. seems that Mr. Wat son docs not consider that he has done more maligning than anybody else. A. O. Bacon lias announced candidate for Hon. A. O. Bacon that, lie will not be a Speaker of the House, but will support his colleague, Hon. John T.Bolfeullet. Tom Watson Is homeward bound, to look after his campaign in the fentli. He lias come to the conclusion that his interests there are In a somewhat shaky condition. Second Congressional district pol itics will continue warm, but will un dergo no changes until the convention meets on the 17tli. And then—well, it’s going to be mighty lively. It is said that the Third Party calls its campaign money “sinews of war,” but when campaign money is raised by the Democrats It Is promptly de nominated “the corruption fund.” Congress really gave the World’s Fair more than $2,600,000. That amount of souvenir silver hnlf dollars is to be coined and a bid of 76 oents each has already been made for the souve nirs. The Republican papers are having a hard time of it during tills hot weath er, trying to convince the working people of tlie country that the way to cheapen the necessaries of life is to levy a tariff tax on them. While digging out tbs excavation for the basement of the Mayor & Crine building on* Washington street, the laborers unearthed an iron water wheel that must have been in the ground for years, as the old rag house that was recently torn down oil the lot was one of the oldest buildings in the city. Tile wheel was such an old model that many persons were at a loss to deter mine what it was. While searching for the Negro mur derer of Lee Iluff, who was supposed to be in this city Tuesday afternoon, Deputy Sheriff Godwin . picked up a man who was wanted in Lee county for assault with intent to murder, lie was looking for the murderer, but didn’t want this fact known, and, merely as a ruse, asked Overseer Sib ley, aB he drove by where the water works gang were at work, if he had a man. in his crowd named William Whaley. Mueh to his surprise Mr. Sibley answered in the affirmative, and it turned out that a Negro by that name, who was wanted in Lee county, and for whom the officers here had been asked to keep a lookout, was there. Mr. Godwin had a warrant for him in his pocket, and,satisfying him self that he had accidentally run up on the right man, carried him to Jail and telegraphed to Sheriff Martin, of Lee county, that be bad William Whaley. From Wednesday'* Kvi:nin« IlkKAi.n. The Young Men’s Democratic Club held a meeting last night in the Court House to make arrangements for the grand Democratlo rally on the 16th. In tlie absence of the President and Vice President, Mayor Gilbert tuoktlie chair. Everything In connection with the rally and the convention was fully disoussed, and plans were formulnted for carrying them througli success fully. It was decided to have tlie flyer of the big Chautauqua tent stretched and the seats put up, and tlie contract for tlie work was let tills morning nt $26.00. Tills will afford ample accom modations for the immense crowd of live to six thousnnd visitors who will be present on tlie occasions of the rally and convention. The committee In charge of arrange ments was appointed and consists of Messrs. W. II. Gilbert, H. M. McIntosh and T. F. Pruett. A committee of suoh enterprising gentlemen could not fail to arrange everything to the satisfac tion of all concerned The cominitteeun flunnee, which was appointed this morning, oonsists of Messrs, E. R.JAues, L. Sterne and J. C. Cassidy. It will be necessary to raise $200 to $800 to defray all expenses of put ting up tlie tent, speakers’ expenses, circulars, etc., and these gentlemen have the matter in charge. Then, too, there will be a brass band here on tile ltttli and 17th, with some rousing old campaign airs, and to gether with the speakers they will make the air ring with the war cries of Democracy. Some 20,000 or more circulars adver tising the Democratlo rally, and con taining tile railroad rates to the con vention will be printed and distrih uted down the different railroads which leave Albany. Then the matter will be taken in hand and well advertised, su there will be no doubt about our having a large crowd present. The railroad rates have been made so low, and everybody In the district is so deeply Interested in the Congressional race, tlmt it seems as if the Induce ments would bring every Democrat in the distriot to Albany on the days mentioned. Tlie speakers have already been enumerated in these columns, und if nothing else could do so, It seems as if tlmt quartette, Hammond, Russell, Livingston and Turner, ought to bring out everybody in the district. Wednesday’s convention will tell the story, anil then on Wednesday night we will—well, wait anil see. An Earlr MoruInK Hlau. At2:45o’clock Thursday morningthe alarm of lire was sounded from the western portion of tlie city, and the bright, lurid glare that lit up the skies showed too plainly that tlie demon of destruction was again at work, for the third time tills week. Tlie residence of Mr. W. L. Wallace, on Flint street, was the Beene of tlie lire, and when the department arrived the flames had gained good headway, Thronateeska and Defiance took sue. tion at a cistern'on Flint street and did some good work. Defiance threw first water, and it wasn’t long before tlie flames were under control. The building wns the property of Mrs. M. A. Rye and her daughter Mrs. Epsie Ivey, and was insured in the Southern Mutual insurance Co., for $860. Mr. Wallace had $600 on his furnl ture, most of which was either de stroyed or damaged. It is not known how the fire origi nated, but Mr. Wallace thinks It was incendiary; Thohahvillk will send a big dele. In answer to Mayor Gilbert’s re quest the B. & W. granted a one-fare rate round trip from Tifton to Albany and intervening station!, as was re ported in Wednesday’s Herald. ’ But a further request was made that the limit be extended to Alapaha. This the B. & W. readily granted, ex tending the limit further, to Wllla- coochee. The rate from this point and intervening stations will be one fare for round trip, good from the 10th to the 19th Inclusive. , Mayor Gilbert received a letter to day from General Passenger Agent J. C. Haile of the Central road, offering rates.of one fare for round trip from points between Hprlngvale, Ga, and Columbia, Ala., and Albany. These rates will also be good from the 10th to the 19tli inolusive, thus enabling all who so desire to Attend the Democratic rally on the 10th. Mnyor Gilbert also received a letter from Mayor Jones of Blakely, asking if the people of that seotion could not linve a more convenient suhedule ar ranged for them. As it Is now they arrive in Albany at 11 2)6 a. in., and leave at 8 p. m., giving them only three hours and a half here. They would.be better situated If they could arrive here at 10 a. m. and leave at 6 or 8 p. m. The Mayor referred this requst to Mr. Jno. H. Clark, agent for the Central road here, and ills decision Is now awaited. Tlie rail roads have been very prompt and generous In regard to the requests of Mayor Gilbert for low rates. All of tliem so far have granted the requests made, and in some instances have given more than was asked. Tlie low rates and other inducements are calculated to bring uplarge crowds to the rally and convention on the 16th and 17th. randest specific of the age, 'Aunt ’anny’s Health Restorer, which acts as a natural laxative, stimulates the digestive organs, regulates the liver and kidneys and is nature’s great healer and health renewer.

He NrlahbereA With Eeleael Peek ea Ike Cars aad They Gal Va- llaei Kllxed. The Atlanta Constitution of Thurs day tells the following “good one" on Col. Reuben Jones: “Hon. Reuben Jones, of Baker, Is the Democratic nominee for tlie State Sen. ate from the Ninth distriot. He came up as a delegate to tlie convention, and on the train on which he came to Atlanta was quite a crowd of Demo, cratte delegates. Col. Peek, the Third Party candidate, came Into the car and put his valise near Senator Jones’. The two valises were very much alike, The running conversation was too strongly Democratic to suit Col, Peek, so after sitting a few moments he concluded he would hunt for more congenial coin pany in another car, so he piokeil up, as lie thought, Ills valise and left. Senator Jones was talking square Democratic talk and was rounding up one of bis best periods. ‘Now,’ he said, ‘I want to show you good Demo, oratic doctrine. Please hand me my valise there. I carry my proofs with me, good Democratlo papers,’ and with that be opened the valise with a flour ish. Imagine his utter amazement when lie round 1t Ailed with Third Party literature—the Third Party documents, St. Louis and Omaha platforms, Tom Watson and C. C. Post filled the bag. “The boys began to smile. Unole Reu ben was bothered. He pulled off his hat, ran his fingers through his hair and looked bewildered. ‘Gentlemen,’ said he, ‘J think this is Reuben Jones. If it is he has lost a valise; if is not then he has found one. When I left home I was the Democratlo nominee for Senator from the Ninth district. This lnfernni bag would indiente that I was the Third Party candidate for Governor.’ “The mistake was soon discovered and rectified and Col. Jones is again happy.” Hin aad Mr. McKinley.

In the month of March, 1816, the Paris Moniteur announced the un expected return of Emperor Napoleon from Elba. The first announcement of the Moniteur was far from polite, but as the little Corsican approached Paris, a gradual change took place in its tone: “The Cnnibal lias>ft his den.” “Tlie Corsican wolf has landed in the bay of San Juan." “The tiger lias arrived at Gay.” “The wretch spent the night at Grenoble.” “The tyrant has arrived at Lyons.” “The usurper has been seen within fifty miles of Paris.” “Bonaparte Is advancing with great rapidity, but he will not put his foot inside the walls of Paris.” “To-morrow Napoleon will be at our gates.” “The Emperor haB arrived at Fon- taingates.” - “His Imperial Majesty, Napoleon, en tered Paris yesterday, surrounded by his loyal subjects.” dared that Mare is inhabited there will be a call for a revised tariff schedule putting a heavy tax on everything that a spectroscopic examination of that planet can disolose.
