CKBWID FLORIDA BEANM, Anil Offemleil the Annlence at Opera Uraie Last Ni|ht. the P. S.—We wish to extend thanks jithe people of Albany for their tendance at our opening. Froni.Tneaday’a Evkninci Hkkaui. A large audience assembled in the Opera Bouse last night to witness the performance of George Wilson’s Minstrels. The hell was full, and the gallery was packed. Before the performance opened n very offensive odor tilled the hall, and in the rear of the hall it was so dense that it seemed to one’s olfactories that it was thick enough to slice with a knife and lay it out in smooth-cut seotions. It was Florida beans. IVhnt are Florida beans? To the uninitiated we will state that they are something awful. There are one or two bushes of them in Albany. The bush bears a psetty flower, but after the flower comes a pod of beaus, and one of these beans can offend a whole household if chewed up nml the saliva expectorated. The expectora tion and breath from one who ohews up one of these Florida beans is worse than the fumes from a skunk. The whole atmosphere around becomes im pregnated with an indescribable and highly offensive and siukening odor, and in a close room or hall it is almost unbearable. Well, somebody chewed Florida bonus in the Opera House last night, and offended the whole audience.. Chief of Police Westbrook “tumbled to the racket" in a minute, and at once instituted a thorough investiga tion, The result of Ills scar-liing in vestigation seemed to tlx the offense on Will McClellan, and he was ar rested and carried from the Opera House to the guard house. The people in the audience were naturally very indignant, and the prompt and determined aution upon the part of Chief Westbrook in the matter was universally commended, and, no doubt, saved the offender from rough treatment at the hands of gen tlemen who carried ladles to the hall. The Chief obtained what he consid ered positive proof agrinst Mr. Mc Clellan, and hustled him off to the guard house. At the present writing McClellan is still in durance vile, though an effort is being made to bail him out. When lie oomes before Mayor Gil bert he will be apt to get the full limit of the oity ordinances if the case that stands against him is oleariy proven. a m.AZB in AituiianM. 1 j f THE REASON. acannot possibly write out an ad until we can get things straighter, But if you’ll read this we’ll be glad, j And we’ll get up a better one later. fyever, to-day, we’ve a word to say To each economical reader: hatever you buy you should always try, To find it at Bell’s—the header.

There wss quite a fire In Arlington early this morning. At8o’clook it was discovered that the Scarborough Hotel of tills-place was in flameB and was rapidly being consumed. Nothing could be done to save the building and it was burned entirely to the gronnd, the furniture and everything being totally destroy ed. There were only one or two transi ent guests in the bouse at tbe time, and they escaped all right enough without serious loss. The hotel was the property of Mr. H. F. Scarborough who'has run it for a number of years. It was fully in sured, however, the amount of insur ance being stated at $8,000. The lire is thought to bo of Inoendi ary origin, thought itoannotbe learned who is suapeoted, nor was any cause given as to why the lire was thought to be tbe work of an incendiary. This is quite a loss to Arlington. THE raw DEPOT. , The Railroad. Are Blew Afcettt Occu pying It. ft ' *&«• -A-. - ' From Thurfllnv'fl KVKNISti IlKHALl). Last night, under most auspioious circumstances, were made the voyvs which consummated another of the fall weddings to which Albany lias, for some time, been looking forward.

Mr, and Mrs. Pace then drove to the Arlesian House where they will remain fur some time, The bride, Miss May Davis, Is a sis ter of Mrs. J. W. Walters. 81ie is a charming and accomplished young lady, who numbers her friends in 1 Al bany by the soore.

INTO THIS NBW DEPOT. The Heed.

Superintendent Geo. W. Haines rep resented the B. & W., Mr. Ceoll Qab- bet the Columbus Southern, Mr. E. N. Clark the S. A. M., Division Superin tendent Epperson the Central, and Assistant Superintendent A. A. Avellhe theS,F. & W. The meeting was held in the new building, and was short, but strictly business like and to the point. The B. & W. and S., F. & IV. tracks have already been laid, and the representa tives of the other roads have agreed to begin laying theirs Immediately. Superintendent R. G. Fleming, of the 8., F. & w., holds the keys to the de pot, nnd the work of putting in new furniture will commence nt once, The building will be refurnished through out. Everybody is glad to hear this piece of news, nnd it Is thought Hint trains will be running regularly to the new depot by not Inter than the first of November._ A DENOtintm KAI.LV. Since it has been deoided by all the roads to aocept the new depot they have been very slow about making preparations to occupy it. The 8., F. & IV. already had a track up to the building, and the B. & IV. is the only road that has made any move towards laying one. The Cordele and Columbus Southern roads will prob ably use the same track. The people are not exactly satisfied with the delay on the port of tlio rail roads. Mayor Gilbert thinks they ought to hasten the work, ns it has now been delayed by them long enough, and says that if it is not done shortly another appeal will be made to the Railroad Commission with a view to having things hustled a little. The people are tired of using a barn for a passenger depot, nnd they are going to assert their rights. For Folks TVilh Cracked Chinn. From Good Housekeeping.

Hofmayer & Jones’ store, he failed to see the re flection of Mr. Steele’s furniture sign across on the window. When he had developed the negative, there was the furniture sign in full view right on the decorated window to where it had been reflected from across the street. Mr. Kuhns will now have to try it again. IN GOLD BLOOD. , > - MR, *!« N, PRICE, OP WILI.IANN. . I1CRO, MVRDERED OUTRIGHT, IN THE LEAH Mho. aad la.tantly Killed While Bland- lag In HU Door.

The following excellent defense was made to an aotion by a lawyer 1 “There are three points in the case,-may it please Your Honor," said the defend ants counsel. “In the first plaoe, w.e oontend that the kettle was oraeked when we borrowed it; seoondly,. that it was whole when we returned it, and thirdly, that we never bad it’.”' The Bnralnr Forget Bemeihlnc. Hearing a noise at night, Jones de scends with a lighted candle and dis covers a burglar esoaping with a foil saok. “Hallo!" he cries, “come baok you!” “Eh, what?” returns the burglar. “Ab, yes, the silver candlestick. Per mit me.” He takes it from tbe hand of the astonished Jones. “Ten thousand thanks 1 Have I forgotten anything else?” See the advertisement of E. E. Moulton, tbe paper hanger. Mr. Moulton understands his business, and if you give him work it will be done in a workmanlike manner. From Ttftiidny’s Kvimlnu Herald. There occurred last night at Wil liamsburg, a small station on the Blnkely Extension road, one of the most horrible tragedies that has ever darkened the annals of Southwest Georgia. And the victim is no other than Mr. J. N. Prioe, whose body now lies cold nml lifeless In his grlef-strloken home. All the business men of Albany know Jim Prioe, nnd lie lias numbers of friends here who will be pained nnd shocked to learn of Ills untimely death. From reports that reached the city tills morning, tlio Hebald learned tlint tlio tragedy happened ns follows: Soon after Biipper last night Mr. Prioe was in his store, engaged In waiting on a Negro customer, no other parties being present. Suddenly the loud report of a shotgun rang out, a cloud of smoke flew ill the dgor, nnd Mr. Price fall heavily to the floor, bntliod in a pool of his own blood. A number of parties quickly gathered, hut-investigation showed Mr. Prlco to bo dend, his head nml body having re ceived a full load of buckshot. Tlio Negro oould tell nothing, nnd sold he saw no one when the shot was llred. There is 110 clue to the identity of the murdorer, ns the dead mnn wns ilot. known to have any bitter enemies. The community is greatly excited, and n pack of blood hounds Inis been telegraphed for to trail the murderer. The murder wns n most cowardly nnd oruelotie, and justice should leave no stone unturned to bring Us perpe trator to account. The IIxnAi.D cer tainly hopes that such will be the case, nnd all Albany doubtless echoes Its sentiment. pleasant for all who favor us with trade.
