by a large vote.
The Senate passed the bill this morn

The leading lawyers of the Legis
lature were called in consultation
with Governor Xorthen this morning
to consider the advisability of attempt
ing to make a World’s Fair appropria
tion. They came to the conclusion
that an appropriation for that purpose
cannot be made constitutionally by
the Legislature. Some other means
may be devised by which to carry out
the enterprise, as it caunot be done
through the medium of the General
Assembly.

From Monday’. Evening Herald.
Senator Wooten told a Herald re.
porter this morning that it was hard
ly possible that the legislature could
constitutionally make- an appropria
tion for a Georgia exhibit at the
World’s Fair.
“I don’t think the matter will be
brought up in the Assembly,” said he,
“and if Georgia has an exhibit
it will have to oome through some
other means." A special to the Her
ald from Atlanta this morning con
firms Senator Wooten’s ideas in re
gard to the matter, the foremost law
yers in the House, in consultation
with Gov. Northen having agreed that
an appropriation oould not be made
constitutionally.
Senator Wpoten thinks that a good
deal of the legislation now before the
General Assemby will have to go over
to next year’s session, as it is hardly
possible to finish up all the important
business in the two weeks remaining.
The bill providing for a system of
graded schools for Albany was put
through the Senate in just three days,
the shortest time by law in which a
measure can be put through either
body.

From Monday's Kvomnjr Herald. t
Yesterday afternoon, about 1 o’olock,
Mr. I.eroy 11, Adams, who, for some
time, lias been overseer for Messrs.
Mayor, & Grille, at the Mud Creek
Farm, committed suicide by sending a
pistol ball through his brain.
Mr. Adams has b£en in bnd health
for the past two or three years, during
which time lie lias had several nttnoka
of liemorrhngio or malarial fever.
Some time ago his employers insisted
upon his coming into the city to re
cuperate, which lie did, remaining a
month. About, ten or twelve dnys ago,
however, lie grew restless anil return
ed to tlie farm, where he began to
grow worse. For several dnys past lie
lias been quite sick and confined to his
bed.
On yesterday, about 1 o’clock, lie
sent liis attendant, n young colored
boy named Sam Jenkins, to nn out
house to get him soino Ice, and while
Sam was away lie heard the pistol
shot.
Mr. nml Mrs. Bledsoe oooupy the
same house, and Mr. Bledsoe, hearing
the pistol shot nml his wife, who was
in tlie front room, screaming ran in to
find out what was the matter. Mr.
Bledsoe and Jenkins entered Adams’
room about tlie same time, anil found
him lying in a pool of blood, gnsping
his last breath, while still holding the
smoking pistol in his hand. Itis posi
tion indicated that lie lmd fired the
“lioj, witli his right Imnd into ills left
temple.
Word was Bent into tlie city last
night about 0 o’clock, to Mr. John
Ililsniali, who notified the coroner. A
jury was at once formed, and repaired
to the scene. After hearing the testi
mony, which was in substanco as is
given above, the jury brought In the
following verdict:
“We, the jury, find that L. IT. Adams,
deoeased, came to liis dentil from a
pistol shot wound. made by Ills own
hand.” B. F, Hiulf.V,
- Forcmnn.
Mr. Adams is pronounood by ail who
knew him to tinvfe been a clover, up
right, lionest gentleman,a man liked by
all who knew him, and loved and high
ly respected by the hands on the place
of whom lie was overseer. Every one
In the oity who knew Mr. Adams
spenksof him ve.-y highly, and was very
muolt surprised and grieved to hear
of his sad and untimely end.
L. II. Adams was horn in Webster
county ut Weston, and over twenty
years ago went to Dnwson to work.
Several years ugo he came to Albany,
since which time he lias acted in the
oupacity of overseer for several prom
inent farming men of this section. A
year or so ago lie was employed by
Mayer & Crine to superintend the
Mud Creek Farm, leased by them,
where he remained to the time of his
death.
No other reason could be assigned
for his course in taking his own life
than the faot of his continued 111
health, whloh has gone' on for about
four years. He had plenty of friends,
a good position and was liked by
every one. But his sickness brought
on lung trouble and he gradually grew
worse. At the time of his death ha
oould have lived only a few more days at
most, as he was rapidly sinking. Tired
and disgusted with life, whioh had
for so long been one immense burdfen,
he took the shortest way of leaving it.
My W. P. Holley, on Old Citizen •( Al-
bony, Dlen ot Poralynln,
Mr. W. F. Holley, one of the oldest
oitizens of Dougherty oounty, died
suddenly of paralysis, Saturday after
noon, about three o’olock.
He had not been in bad health, and
the attack was a very sudden and un
expected one. PhysioianB were hasti
ly summoned, and everything possible
was done for his relief, but he only
lived a short while after being stricken.
Mr. Holley was the proprietor of, a
boarding bouse in the Tift bridge
building, on Front street, where the
funeral took place yesterday afternoon
at 3 o’olock, Rev. W. J. Robertson con.
ducting the service.
Mr. Holley bad been living in the
county for years, and was, at one time,
qUite wealthy. He leaves a wife but
no children.
Tou Watson is trying the fat-frying
scheme ostensibly to contest the elec
tion in the Tenth. Tom thinks this
an easy way to get a year’s salary in
advance.
Extra session talk has by no means
subsided. Just give Mr. Cleveland
time and be will settle the matter.
From Monthly’s Evening Hovnhl.
The municipal election whloh is be-
fng held to-day is perhnps ono of the
most quiet aud sereno that Albany
has seen in a long time.
When the tioket was knnotinceci
there was talk of opposition from
various sources, but that all subsided
some time ago, and for the past week
the political aspect has been ns serene
and calm as n midsummer day. This
has continued during to-day, and the
election throughout has been a mere
formality.
Things were extremely quiet around
the poles, from tlio time they opened
nt ID o’clock tills morning, nnd tlie
managers and oierks were passing
their time away in olwttingnnd telling
Jokes. ^Every now and then a voter
would Straggle by, enst his ballot and
pass on. At 12 n’olook only seventy
votes out of the UOO odd registered lind
been cast, nnd the probability la tlint
no more than linlf of tlio entire regla-
mber of voters will take the
Dgo over nml cast their bnllots.

IIA V RAHHJVO,
Wlint Ponnlblllilen It Holds For Our
Fnrmero.
This is an industry that lias long
been grossly neglected by fnrmers in
this section of tho country, but now it
is pleasant to see that they are grad
ually learning what a paying item on
a farm hay raising, is, and nro giving
the industry more attention.
An old field, that needs a rest, or
that the farmer hasn’t time to culti
vate, can be cleared of underbrush,
converted into a bay field, and, with
out receiving a particle of cultivation
or attention of any sort, will produce
ns fine hay as ever comcB thousands of
miles from the west to be used by the
very planters who c child, by merely
taking time to harvest it, produce as
good if not a superior artiole.
Georgia stook loves Georgia hay.
Some few planters in Dougherty and
oounties immediately surrounding,
have discovered wbat a bonanza there
Is in hay, and have, each season for
several years, made enough of It to
last them until time for another har
vest. One farmer of the oonnty has
this year made much more than be
ean possibly use, and has marketed
number of bales in Albany.
Let our farmers give bay raising
more attention.
Death ot Dr. H. IS. Duvle.
Dr. M. 8. Davis, of Baker county,
died at the borne pf Mr. John Milner,
on Jaoksdn street, in this oity at about
7 o’olook Saturday evening, of heart
failure..
Dr. Davis was well ^nown in Alba-
ny, and was thought a great deal of by
the oitizens of the community in
wbioh he lived. He was a successful
physician, and did a good praotloe'
throughout Baker county. He was the
father of Mrs. B. F. Winchester, who
lives on tbs Forrester ptafitktion four
miles north of Albany.
Dr. Davis was a man of noble, gen
erous impulses and made friends of
those with whom be oame in oontaot.
The funeral of the deoeased took
place at Hardup church yesterday af
ternoon.

From Sntnrdav’s Kvknino Hkuai.d.
To-day is a red letter one for Albnny,
and every one of her oitizons ean join
in a heartfelt “Auion,” for the consum
mation of ku enterprise which for
years lias been daily olamored for.
Aud that enterprise is tlie Albany
Union Passenger Depot. It seems nn
age sineo the Bail-road Commission
of Georgia issued nil order to the sev
eral roads entering Albany, whereby
they were given notice that proper ac
commodations for their passengers
must be nt once prepared.
Tills occasioned joy in the hearts of
all our citizens, but when delay after
delay followeil one upon the other,
and time after time exouses were offer-
red for the putting off of tlie erection
of tlie depot, tlio onso seemed indeed a
desperate one. Finally, though, tile
depot was ercoted, but hitches ngaln
ooourred to delay Ita oooupntlon.
But time works wonders, nml to-day
the ronda entering Albnny began to
liava their trains nrrlve at nnd depart

Ilolpml Out by a Dream.
i There is a follow serving a life
sentence in tho ponitontiary at Joliet
who awes his incarceration to - a
dream of mine," said Larry McFall,
once a Chicago detective, who was
discussing the supernatural with
some friends nt the Lindell. “In
1887 a hackman was shot down on
West Madison street by a man with
whom ho had somo trouble about a
fare. Tho murderer got away, and
nothing was heard of him for a year
or more. Finally wo got a tip that
ho was in tho city, and I was de
tailed to round him up. I soon be
came convinced that ho was hiding
on tho North Side, but to save mo I
could not locate him. I searched for
two weeks without getting sight of
my man'or discovering liiB retreat.
One morning I loft my room, walked
leisurely down to tho Palmer House,
looked at the clock and noticed that
it was just 0:30. \
“I bought a paper and sat down to
read, hut was disturbed by a man
who asked me for a light. I handed
him my cigar, looked up, saw that it
was the man I was searching for,
and clapped the jewelry on his wrists.
The snap of the handcuffs awoke me.
I had been dreaming. The dream
was so vivid that I determined to
visit tho Palmer House. I did so, and
noticed as I entered that it was just
0:80 o’clock. I bought a paper, sat
down to read and was interrupted
just as I had dreamed by the man 1
was in search of. Don’t tell me there
is nothing in dreams.”—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Going Douun.
Something is always going down,
but i the only declining feature
about our goods is the price. That
can’t drop much more without
touching wholesale figures. Such
a magnificent stock of Furniture
going at ridiculously low figures is
attracting crowds of purchasers
anxious to secure the choicest
articles, and the scene presented is
like a procession of depositors try
ing to get their money from a sus
pended bank. Come nnd get just
what you need before you ^choice
has been taken by an earlier buyer.
Furniture in all the latest styles
and patterns, parlor suites, bed
room suites, chairs, tables and au
endless variety of other articles
are selling at laughably low prices.
By an early inspection, you will be
spared the poor consolation of see
ing what you have missed.

diture is what you will be estab
lishing in your owh household if

in this line in proportion. You

From FrMsy’i Evemiko IIkrai.d.
i Sheriff Edwards found a watch on
Alf Hornsby this morning whioh
seems to indicate that he has been en
gaged in more than one stealing
scrape.
Hornsby is the man who was arrest
ed on Saturday last, as was reported
in the Herald, for stealing several
arttoies from Deputy Sheriff Jim
Jones, of Mltohell county with whom
be was rooming at the Artesian House
at the time.
The property now in Sheriff Ed
wards’ possession is a silver watch
and ohain, on whioh is a Royal Arch
Masonlo Chapter badge with the name
S. T. Thqmpson stamped on it, and is
thought to be stolen,property.
Hornsby is the brother of the Cele
brated Jim Hornsby, who was aooused
some time ago ot the murder of a ped
dler in Worth oounty, but was cleared.
He appears to be a bad case and will
obably find i
matter
furniture may create an impression
of departed prosperity, or it may
indicate a refined taste for antiqui
ties, It all depends upon how old
the style is, aud what the fashion
may be, for there is a style just be
twixt and between, which is not old
enough to be antique and not new
enough to be modern. It is just oa
necessary to follow the fashion in
furniture as in dress, and we all
know what a sight a man is with a
plug hat of the vintage of 1870.
You don’t want the baud running;
after you playing “where did yon
get that hat?” nor for that matter
playing: “Where did you get that
chair?” We are now showing a
superb stock of furniture, i u all the
latest styles and patterns, and can
fit you up every room in your ,
house to suit your taste, whether iri ,
be of antique or modern cast Our ,,
prices are so low that any one can
get what he or she wants ^ We pat
them down solow because we want
to sell out our entire stock now so
as to be enabled to have an entire
new stock of everything on hand
when our new building is com
pleted.
We sell ijin installments as ..
as for the cash, and will try
please all who call.
