Atlanta is having a lia.-d time with her municipal election, and the candi dates are getting most of the oussln’. Tiif, people of Georgia do not want the disabled Confederate veterans of the Stale treated like paupers. I.et the Legislature bear this In mind. At the rate at whioh measures nro being Introduced In the Legislature, there will be a great deal of unflnlshod business when the time comes to ad journ. The General Assembly met m tolnt session yesterday to complete the Su perior Court elections. Those elected were Judge Marshall J. Clark, Judge, and Hon, Charley Hill, aul'oltor, of the Atlanta Circuit; Hon. Henry H. Peeplea, solicitor of the Southern Circuit; Hon. C. C. Smith, Judge of the Oconee Circuit; Hon.W.M. Henry, judge, and Hon. IV. J. Nunnal- ly, aolicltor, of tho Romo Circuit; Judge Richard It. Clark, judge, and Hon. John S. Candler, solicitor of the Stone Mountain Circuit; Hon. R. H. Russell, solicitor of the Western Cir cuit; Col. Butt, |udge, and Hon. S. P. Gilbert, solloltor, of the Chattahoochee Circuit. Thesi finished the Superior Court elections. Capt. Wooten introduced a bill amending the cimrte/ of Albnny so as to provide for a Hoard of Water Com missioners. During the short session in the House, preceding the Joint assembly the following hills were introduced: Hy Mr. Smith, of Gwinnett—Tore- quire all passenger trains In this State to stop at all stations in incorporated towns containing more tlinn two hun dred Inhahitniits, so ns to nllow pas sengers to get on or off. Hy Mr. King, of Fulton—To amend the divorce law so ns to provide that the nppenrnnce term may, by consent of the parties and the approvnl of the court, liu made the first trial term. A resolution wns introduced provid ing for tho adjournment of the House for the National election. Thin pro voked n warm content,but wns, flnully passed, and the members of tho Gen eral Assembly will go home to vote. TO I'll.I, NKNATOK JON KM’ MEAT. Si’AlN seems to have the Republic, fever. Mohs with a revolutionary turn have been assembling In that country shouting vivats of “Long live the Re public I" Russ*1.1, and Walters speak at Moultrie, in Colquitt county, to-dny. Every county In the distrlot will come up next Tuesday with a Demooratlc majority. to Tiim Hkiiai.d pays no attention bucket letters and publishes no com munications without knowing where they come from and who Is responsi ble for them. Ai.Tiiotmii Judge Gober, of tho Blue Ridge Circuit, was ro-elooted by the Legislature, the other day, the oharges that have been brought against him will not down. It will ho remembered that the Gov ernor has ordered the ordinaries of the ooiinllets in the Ninth Senatorial Dis trict to hold another otectlon to till Senator Jones’ sent In the State Sen- nte. According to law twenty (lays’ notice must he given before the clcotlon can bo hold, but alreadythere Is some talk In regard to the race. It Ib probable that Gov. B. F. Huds peth, ns ho is familiarly known in linker county, will be put up by the Democrats of that county; at least, he is talked of ns the most available man for that position, and if he runs he will be elected. Gov.Hudspeth hns been the olerk of the Superior Court In that county for nearly forty years, and his thorough knowledge of the State laws and con stitution makes him, perhaps, the best onmlidnto Raker county coulu put In the field. The rain-makers are becoming un popular around Washington olty.

The Chattahoochee Valley Expo sition closed on Saturday', after the most successful assembly held since the existence of tho nssoolation. Quito a number of persons from Albany went «v«r during the week. WiiETHKU there is renlly anything in the oharges that have been brought against Judge George F. Gober, of the Blue Ridge circuit or not, the Georgia legislature cannot now afford to pans •tie matter over without a fair and thorough Investigation.

Stout, a farmer whose place Is near Trenton, N.J., visited his father In England recently. Before starting, as he tells a Ne.w York Times reporter, he talked with some of hiB Jersey neighbors, “and wt agreed that if I found on getting on the other side tlmt I could hdy some plows and other things nnd get them out to Trenton so that we could save 10 per cent. I should do It.” Mr. Stout thus tells the sequel: Well, I’ve done it, nnd In the course of a fewdays the things will arrive, and 1 reckon thnt I shall save consid erably more than 10 per cent. On the plows the saving will he fully 25 per cent., 1 think, for the prices for American-made plows on the other side are just about half the prices charged for the same things in this country. I bought liny rakes, cultiva tors, feed cutters, and plows, and everything will come book to this country in the same packing that wns on it when it was shipped from the factory. No wonder Farmer Stout is moved to add to his plain, unvarnished tnle this wrathful hit of comment: “Protection” the Rcptihlioans call it. “Robbery” is my name for it. It’s nothing short of robbery when taxes make me pay $10 for n piece of farm machinery that the manufacturer sends nbroad for sale nt about half tlint sum, in spite of the extra ex- f tenses of packing nml freightage. I’d lave stayed on the other side another fortnight if t hadn’t thought It my duty to come home nnd vote lor Tariff Reform nnd get my neighbors to do the same.” BEAUTY AND CHIVALRY UATHBRBD AT TUB nOLCOMBE- TARVEII WRDDinrO AT DE WITT LAST EVENING.

There wns a small sized sensation in tho House yesterday when Mr. W. II. Fleming, of Richmond, introduced a resolution calling upon Chairman Moseley, of the House lirnnoh of the Gober Investigating committee, to an swer some allegations mado against him in the papers by Mr. O. D. Mad dux. Mosoly, it seems, mnde some statements compromising himself In regard to tho case In hand, nnd Mr. Fleming thought he should explain himself. Mr. Moseley then roso to n question of personal privilege to this attnek. Mr. Moseley denied tho allegations, nud the effect of his statement was that more Imd been made of tho con versation than really wns in it. He said he would prepare a written state ment nnd fllo It in tho House. Col. E. R. .Tones has introduced a bill. He wants seotion •1082 of the code amended so as to nllow any Judge of the Superior Court, county or city court, or any justice of the peace to issue n distress warrant for rent, nnd accordingly put it in the form of a bill which ho Introduced in the House. Mr. Hall, of Spalding, introduced the regular appropriation bill. Two important hills were intro duced hy Mr. Johnson,Of Fulton—One to provide that shares of stock- banks or bnnking associations incor porated under the laws of tills State or the United States shall only be assess ed or returned for taxation at their market value, but not above their faoe value, and shall be taxed according to the value at whioh they are hereby re quired to be returned and not other wise. Also—To allow, judgments to be taken at the flrst term, Instead of the second term (ns it now stands) on all notes and other unconditional con tracts in writing, where no defenoe is tiled. Nothing of Importance was done in the Senate. From Friday's Evening HBHA1.1). Edmund Sanders, a young Negro fnriner who lives near Vines’Mill, in Worth oounty, camo to town with cot ton yesterday, nnd after selling the cotton proceeded to till up on red liquor. lie mado n few purchases, nnd by the middle of the afternoon was too drunk to nnvignte. Seeing his condi tion, a Broad street merohnnt request ed two Negroes who were with San ders to take charge of him and get lorn off homo before lie fell into the hands of the police, A 11ekai.ii reporter saw Sanders this morning, nnd hc-says that he awoke nt about 10 o’clock last night and found himself In his wngon on tho east side of the river. Somebody, he knows not who, Imd hitched his team nnd left him to sleep off the effeots of his liquor. Whon Sanders awoke nnd took stock ho found that $38.00 in money, which he Imd in Ills pocket, a Smith & Wes. son pistol, a package of snuff, some oraokers nnd a few other articles that he had purchased, were missing. He reported the mnttor to tho poliae this morning, nnd gnve the name of one of the Negroes whom the merohnnt re quested to take charge of him. This Negro wns found, nnd proved to he John Redding, who recently camo here from Calhoun county, but he told n story that seemed so plausible that tho police did not arrest him; The other Negro hns not yet been found. Many of the metropolitan newspa pers of the day, and more especially the Sunday editions, are going beyond the bounds of all reason and common sense by multiplying the number of their pages until they are really bur. densorae. It makes one tired to scan one of these manifold sheets in search of something to read. It is, perhaps, safe to say that not one-fourth part of the matter prlntedin these great pa pera is ever read. Indeed, it is not worth reading. The newspaper that condenses and prints news and live matter fcnly is the paper of the future. HOIMIED 1VUILK DRUNK. TIIK UORONKR’H JURY Nnj* (lie Killing of Ordinary Lre Win Murder* From Friday’s Evening Herald. The coroner’s jury found the killing of Ordinary J. W. Lee, of Quitman county, on Wednesday morning Inst by the Cannon Hall train to bo mur der. Mr. Jule Skinner, the engineer of the train, wns in the city yesterday, and in spite of the finding of the coro ner’s jury declares that he wns com plying with the law as regards slow running at Georgetown, whioh was a ling station. Mr. Lee Imd crossed the track to run a dog off, nnd on returning was un aware of the proximity of the train which was rounding the curve just at Georgetown in Quitman county, when he Was struck by the train, knocked to the ground nml was killed. Tho jury thought the train was running faster than was permitted hy law, but Mr. Skinner says ho was not, nnd that if he had been running at the usual rate, Sir. Lee would have been knocked sev eral feet in the air instead of to the ground ns was the case. Mr. Skinner Imd not been arVested up to yesterday afternoon, hut since the finding of a verdict of murder by the jury it may be that he will be taken into oustody. The verdict is thought to be n very unusual on**. DEATH OP MRS. JONES. *Thr M*lhcr •( Mvsnlor Reuben Jeuei PnMed Avfwtj Thursday. From Saturday’s KvenuJo Hkkai.u. . The mother of the late Senator Reuben Jones, whose fuuernl occurred in Atlanta the other day, died in Macon, Ga., Thursday afternoon. When Senator Jones went to At lanta the other day to assume the oath of a State Senator be had just left the bedside of his mother. She appeared to be improving and he went to Atlanta in no fear of any immediate change in her condition. The sudden death of her son, how ever, was too great for her, and she never rallied from the shock that was occasied by the sad announcement. From Friday's Evening Hehalb. When tile train which carried the guests out to DeWitt returned last night, one had been added to its num ber of passengers—Mrs. Henry A. Tarver, Jr., late of DeWitt, now,of Albany, Last evening about 8 o’clock the special train on tile S., F. it W. left for DeWitt with the wedding guests, who, on arrival, were at once conveyed to St. John's Episcopal church, hy the vehicles which were ready and in waiting. On arrival nt the church nil were comfortably seated hy tile ushers attending, Mr. II. X. Parker, and Mr. J. Ponce de Leon'Gill. St. John’s Episcopal church, a pret ty little structure, which, through the untiring efforts of Mrs. G. M. Bacon and those around her, has just been completed, was henutifiilly dec orated for tile occasion. Justin front of tbe chancel wns n large arch wound with the wild bamboo and oilier vines among which, profusely, yet artisti cally arranged were numbers of ex quisite white chrysanthemums, while around the walls on either side nud in the rear were profuse decorations of nslmillar nature. The dinned, bal ustrade, and nltar were covered with immaculate white, nnd upon the altar, were lighted fourteen wax can dles. The decorations nnd drapery were beautifully nnd artistically ar ranged, and were productive of a plensi ng effect. About fl o’clock everything was In readiness for the wedding party, which imd just arrived. Rt. Rev. C. K. Nel son, Bishop of the Georgia Diocese, who came down yesterday afternoon to perforin the ceremony, took his stand behind the chancel railing ns the wedding parly marched down the aisle to the wedding inaroli played by Miss Nettle Sherwood. The family nnd nenr friends were seated in front. First cnine the ushers, Messrs. J. Ponce de Leon Gill nnd H. N. Parker. Then came the youngest and sweetest of the attendants, Mr. Milton Bacon with lit tie Miss Mary D, Hobbs. Next were Misses Mnmie Crow, of Bnconton, nnd Julin Hammond, of Atluntn, with Messrs. Holcombe Bacon and T. M. Ticknor; Misses Mary Hnnserd, of Co lumbus, nnd Dorothy Colquitt, of At lanta,with Messrs. Fort Tarver nnd Rob IVarren. Then came Mrs. J. P. Gill, the maid of honor, while the bride, Miss Frances Welborn Holcombe, came In with her brother-ln-Inw, Mr. 1). C. Bacon, nnd the groom Mr. Henry A. Tarver, Jr., came In with his best man, Mr. II. H. Tarver, from the side door. They met unner the nroli, the bride taking the groom’s arm, and stepped up be fore the chancel. During the Impressive ceremony which followed, the entire congrega tion was standing. The Episoopal ceremony Is short ill itself, hut most impressive, containing volumes for thought and giildntice in married life. At the conclusion of the ceremony, when he pronounced them man and wife, Bishop Nelson gave them his apostolic blessing. The service was over. First the bridal party and then the guests were driven up to the beau tiful home of Mr. nnd Mrs. G. M Bacon where Mr. and Mrs. Tarver were tendered an elegant reception. Many and inspiring were the con gratulations and sincere wishes for a bright and prosperous future, of their numerous friends who were present. The beauty and chivalry of Southwest Georgia, and many friends from other parts, were there to do honor to the bflde and groom. The beautiful col lection of presents from friends and relatives was tile •admiration of ull present. Many of them wero of ex quisite and artistic design. Everyone present admired the beau tiful costume of Miss Holcombe. It was an exquisite dress of crystal epin- gle trimmed with duchess lace; and no veil worn hy a bride ever hung more beautifully or clung to the form more gracefully than did that worn by Miss Holcombe. After the reception which lasted about an hour, the wedding party re paired to the home of Mr. I). C. Bacon, where an elegant supper was served. Tile homes of Mrs. F. W, Holcome, Mrs. G. M. Bacon, and Mrs. D. C. Bacon, are all right together and within a few yards of each other. A rbll of canvass was spread from the residence of Mr. G. M. Bacon to that of Mr. D. C. Bacon, and upon this the guests went over to tea. No more delightful time could have been chosen for a wedding party than was last evening. The moon’s solemn rays seemed brighter and more radiant than ever, and every surrounding appeared to lend its appropriateness to the scenes that were there enacted. It was as if the elements andail nature hart conspired to lend the beaoty and brilliancy of their loveliest charms to the joy and happiness inspired by the occasion; and a poet surrounded by those scenes and under that glowing moonlight might have caught the in spiration of its ephemeral existence to sing his sweetest song. Everyone was loth to leave when the time for departure oame, hut after mure congratulations nnd profuse thanks for the delightful evening spent, all repsired to the train to re turn to Albany. With them came Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Tarver, who for the present will stop with Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Tarver nt their home on Tift street.

DeWitt, the country home of the Bacons, nnd Mrs. Holcombe, is, espec ially nt tins time of year, one of the most delightful spots to be found in the State. It is about twelve miles from Albany, situated on the S„ F. & IV. road, and, a few years ago, was nothing but woodland. In the last year or two three beautiful residences have been built there, those of Mr. G. M. Bacon, Mr. D. C. Bacon, and Mrs. F. IV. Holcombe. The severe rigor of winters’ cold, and the burning heat of the summers’ sun are so tempered by the delightful climate, that it is a most pleasant place to live the year round. The country around has many de lightful and romantic spots, connected with which are many pleasant memo ries nnd associations, as recent events will attest, nnd those who have been so fortunate as to visit there speak 111 no unmeaning terms of the pleasure gleaned from their visit.
