A penitentiary guard came down from Atlanta and carried off seven convlots from this county, yesterday morning. They were the convicts of the recent term of the Superior Court. ■Charley Bandolph and Jim Miller each go for ten years, Jeff Dunn, -George Carter and Sam Crosland for three years each, Henry King for seven years, and John Bainey for two years. They were taken from here to Atlauta, and from there they will be carried to some coni mine in the northern part of the State. J-Tkamps have been taking in the res idence portion of the city recently. The police can’t keep up with them, -and very few have been caught.

When the stand' pipe is up and the pumps are at work the pressure willuo doubt be sufficient to pot a good stream over any buildi ng in the city. The tests made from the plugs this morning were entirely sat' iafactory. THE GEORGIA CHAUTAUQUA IMPOBTANT MEETING OF THE BIBECTOBS TO-DAY. Nome New Officers Blcctcil—Looking «• Ike Next Assembly. From Monday's Evening Herald. The Board of Direotors of the Geor gia Chautauqua Association held an important meeting in the First- Na tional Bank at 10 o’clock this morn ing. The committee previously appointed to solicit subscriptions to a guarantee fund to cover any detloit that may ooour between the expenses and re ceipts of the next Assembly made their report, and, the same being sat isfactory, the Direotors voted unani mously to continue the Chautauqua work and have the usual spring As sembly. Mr. J. S. Davis tendered bis resigna tion as Seoretary and Superintendent, and nominated Mr. IL M. McIntosh for the position. Then Capt. B. Hobbs tendered Ills resignation as President and nominated Mr. J. S. Davis as his successor. Capt. Y. G. Rust was called to the ohalr, and, by unanimous vote, the resignations of Mr. Davis and Capt. Hobbs were accepted and Messrs. Davis and McIntosh elected, respectively, as President and Secre tary and Superintendent. Mr. A. W. Muse was re-elected Assistant Secre tary, and will keep thereoords and ac counts of the Association. It was decided that the next As sembly will have to be held in the tent tubernaole, but a oommittee, con sisting of Capt. R. Hobbs, Capt. Jno. A. Davis and Mr. A. W. Muse, was ap pointed to go before the City Counoil and renew the proposition made last summer for the oity and the Associa tion to ereot a building together on the Association’s lot on the corner of Jaokson and Pino streets. This oom mittee will go before the City Council at the Counoil’s next regular meeting. Other matters of concern to tlio As sociation and looking to the success of the next Assembly were discussed, and the ground work for an Assembly that will eclipse all its predecessors was laid. The time for holding the next As sembly was not definitely flxed, but, upon motion of Capt. Hobbs, the third and fourth weeks in May were recom mended, and will be adopted if it is found that ail things can bemade to work together for that time. A Charitable Pawnbroking Enterprise. At the Suggestion of Mr. Alfred Bishop Mason, the Charity Organization society has concluded to form ft-oin its members and from others a corporation to be known as the Provident Loan company, with a capital of $100,000. In order that the company shall not fall into the hands of undesirable persons who would seek to make a profit out of the business, ft will be stipulated that no transfer of stock shall bo made without the consent of the board of directors, which shall consist of nine shareholders. The articles of association, or the charter, if n special charter be obtained, will Htipnlate that no dividends shall be paid in Btock or securities or in any thing but cash, and that these dividends shall not be greater than 6 per cent, per annum. Snch a provision, it is hoped, will keep the institution within chari table lines and remove as far as possible the temptation for its capture by selfish persons for the sake of its accumulations and earnings. Another stipulation in the same direction will he that should the reserve fnnd accumulate above the estimated needs of the company the di rectors shall either reduce the rate of in terest to borrowers or distribute the sur plus to publio or private philanthropic corporations or societies. Now this loan company will do a kind of pawnshop business, and be to the poor somewhat as is the Mont-de-Piete in the Latin countries. So that the com pany may bs a kind of branch of the Charity Organization society, It will be the pplicy of the company to give prefer ence to such borrowers as are recom mended by this society and kindred or ganizations. So far as tbs poor are con cerned who bare come within the ken of these societies snch a stipulation will be very well, bnt here again will come in the very difficulty before mentioned that frequently makes inoperative the well intended efforts of these organiza tions. A man or woman may be in a tem porary stress of poverty, where actual itarvatlon seems the next thing in order. Still snch persons may shrink from any investigation out of a delicacy of feeling highly creditable. To snch, if they must expose their wounds or lay bare their sores, the old shop of the golden balls will be the place to go. Bnt still there is a ripe field for this new company, and it will doubtless prosper, and also do u mnch needed service to the poor.—Harper’s Weekly. A Year's Railway Accidents. The board of trade report upon rail way accideuts in the United Kingdom for 1801 is issued. The total persons killed numbered 1,108, comprising 108 passengers, 549 servants and 416 de scribed as “other persons,” including trespassers and Buicides.

H. Miller, Prop. Albany Marble Works, SOME LOCAL GOSSIP. Yesterday was a perfect Sabbath day. It seemed as if the elements had oonsplred to make the day of _rest one of beauty as well as of peace and hap piness, temperature aud sunshine being blended in just the right pro portion to make life out of doors the most delightful part of the day’s' pro gram. All day long scarcely a cloud blurred the azure depths of heaven’s canopy o’er bead, and heaven’s bless ings bestowed so freely upon rloli and poor alike, plainly bespoke the day as one of love as well as rest. Mr. 8. W. Kahn, of Indiana, who has been in the oity for some dnys look ing after the mule trade, was chatting with his friends on the street to-day. How’s the mule trade?” was asked by some one. ‘‘Well, I’ll tell you,” said Mr. Kahn, “It’s like the short peanut orop, tile hulls are t here, but there are no nuts Inside. That’s the way with mules this season. The hulls of the mules are there, but that’s about all. There’s about as little flesh on the mules whloh were sold here as there is money to pay for them.” A simple inoident occurred on the street Saturday night whloh oarrles with it the evidence of the large hearted nature of the Irishman, as well as the faot that some of our offi cers at least, are ready to deal justice to the most humble and lowly as well as to those of the wealthy and affluent classes. Offloer was appealed to by an old and deorepit Negro woman to make a certain Negro man who owed her, a considerable amount for board, pay her as she was in needy oiroumstances. There was quite n bad oase against the man, and he was sought out and compelled to pny the money due. The old woman went off smiling, and profuse In her thanks to the officer. It was Ills duty of course, but the promptness with whloh he re sponded, and the interest lie took in her case made it commendable. “Do you know,” said a man promin ently interested in farming, “that either upland rioe or tobacoo would make paying crops in this seotlon? Yes,” he went on, “the only trouble is in getting the farmers educated up to the point where they will try the the experiment. Cotton has about played out as a money-making orop in this section. Tobacoo and rioe have been cultivated to a small extent, but they should be cultivated here largely, as they could be put on a paying basis, with the same labor that is em ployed in ootton raising.” And the gentleman in question knew what he was talking about. “Albany is a very peouliar town in one respeot from our point of view,” said officer Barron' this morning. “Larger orowds of Negroes oolieot here on Saturday perhaps, than in any other town of it-, size in the State, yet almost perfeot order is maintained with very little trouble. It is surpris ing how few arrests are made on Sat urdays, when it is considered that so large a erowd of Negroes is oolleoted in the small apace of one block on Washington street.” There is at least one serenader in Albany whose sweet strains will not soon again float upon the midnight air. But a night or two ago this sweet singer was out on a serenade, and had just begun on that {popular ballad en titled, “There is a Fountain Filled With Blood.” When he reaohed the third line the unfortunate singer and sinner plunged beneath the flood sooner than he had anticipated, for from the baioony overhead came what bis imagination contorted into a bar rel of water, though it was only a good-sized bucket full. However, it sufficed to give him- a good drenching, and he will not be-'found again soon among the midnight ranks of sere- naders. Fife proof. Among the processes for fireproofing to which the^ attention of the directors of the Berlrh exposition was recently drawn, and for which awards have been declared, are the following: For light tisanes, a composition consisting of six teen pounds ammonium sulphates, five pounds ammonium carbonate, fonr ponnds borax, six pounds boric acid, fonr pounds starch—or one pound dextrine or one pound gelatine—and twenty-five gal lons water, mixed together, heated to 80 dogs. Fahr.,nnd the material impreg nated with the mixture, centrifugated and dried, and then ironed os usual. One quart of this mixture, costing only a few cents, is sufficient to impregnate fifteen yards of material. For curtain materials, theatrical decorations, wood and furniture, thirty ponnds ammo nium chloride are mixed with so much floated chalk as to give the mass con sistency, and it is then heated to from 125 degs. to 150 degs. Falir., and the material to be treated is given one or two coats of it by means of a brush. A pound of this, costing only a mere trifle, is sufficient to cover five sqnare rods.— New Yn-k Snn Hon.

THE VENEZUELAN WAR. IT TERMINATED WITH NUCCBSB FOB THE BBVOLVTIUNISTH. Crespo's Gorernmrut Bias Been Estab lished and la Itrcozalsed br the Culled (Slates. In a letter written fortheNew York Herald General Jaok Quin Crespo tells of his sucoess in the Venezuelan revo lution. It began on the 20th of February last, Ct-espo having at that time but eleven followers nrmed with winches ters. O11 the plains of the Orlnoca he gathered a bund about him which soon grew to an army of over 8,000. Rublio sentiment and the best mili tary talent of the Republio was from that time with the Revolutionists who went, on from sucoess to suouess, ex periencing but few lasses, until he captured La Gnayra, the principal port of Venezuela, which was the laBt con test of any moment and practically de cided tile fate of the Republio. After this battle Pulido, the Presi dent, and his cabinet fled from Caracas, the oapital, and Crespo's entrnoo was practically unhindered. The entire Republio is now In the hands of the Revolutionists. Gen. Crespo thus oloses his letter: “Never In the history of Venezuln has suoli a popular uprising been known. Why Just think of it! I went out a few months ago with less than a dozen followers. When I came baok 14,000 men followed mo into Caracas. Who cun say that the oountry was not with me?” This revolution has been of peouliar interest to people of tills oountry on account of the action of that govern ment toward some American citizens who were there at the time, hut Minis ter Suruggs, who Is a Georgian, man aged to keep our diplomatic relations straight. General Crespo is now provisional President of the Republio. Minister Soruggs lms officially recognized the new Venezuelan government in behalf of the United States, and his notion was reported to Washington and re corded a day or two ago. The, Spell HVoIctom A despatch from Berlin says: “At 1.80 o'clock this morning the German empress gave birth to a daughter, the first daugh ter born to the iinporiul couple. The child woh bon: in the puluco of Potsdam.” The birth of a daughter to the Ger man empress is said to respond to the most earnest hope of herself and the emperor. An old proplieoy, made mfitly years ago by n Catholic monk and found in the Prussian archives, is said to have affected the royal couple greatly. The prophecy says that “after receiving a mortal blow from a conqueror who shall come from the west (supposed to be Na poleon I), the German empire shall he erected again two generations later by a monarch of a new dynasty (Emperor William I), who will live to a great age, rule long and, owing to the wisdom of his government, he beloved of all his subjects. He will he followed by a monarch who will have but a short reign (Emperor Frederick), and the lattor will be followed by a third monarch, who will have Beven sons, none of whom shall succeed him.” The six children born to the empress np to this time are all boys, and tho ap parent fulfillment of the old prediction in the cases of William 1 and Frederick William seriously depressed the em press. The force of the old prophecy for the Hohenzollerni is now broken. Th« Latest Dlamarek Episode. On one of the last days of his stay at Kisslngen he took a walk alone in the forest near the Altenbnrg house, and was surprised by a thunderstorm. One of the waitresses of the inn seeing the prince in the rain without an umbrella —he left the forest in considerable hasto —fan out to him with one. The prince gratefully accepted it, saying, “Yes, my dear, it’s always better to have a safe shelter than to walk along unprotected in the rain.” He offered the maiden hie arm and walked with her to an open shed, bnilt for the protection of walken from enn and rain, where the imperial ex-chancellor took a seat. After the rain had stopped he gave tho girl a smocking kiss, for which she thanked him, overjoyed, with the words, “A great honor for me.” He answered smiling, “The pleasure is still greater for me, my dear.”—Exchange, Thinks Himself the Prince of Wales. Proceedings have been began in the supreme court to have Caspar Knaner, a manufacturer of frames and moldings at 102 Centre street, adjudged a lunatic. Upon the application of his wife, Kath arine Knauer, Justice Beach today ap pointed Augustus C. Brown and Dr. Thomas W. Robertson a commission to conduct an inquiry as to his sanity. Knaner has been confined to a private asylum, Breezehnrst Terrace, at White- stone, Long Island, since April 4,1891, and is said to he incurable. He imagines that he is wealthy, talks of gigantic spec ulations, thinks he is a great soldier and acquainted with all the generals in the army, and believes he is the Prince of Wales. He is violent and dangerous.
