Bennler Woolen Tnlka. 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. According to an exchange, venders of game in Philadelphia are doing a rushing business by displaying the sign, ‘ Ducks'shot by Mr. Cleveland at regular prices.” - 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.

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.

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. The Nicaragua canal convention whloh was in session at New Orleans baa wound up its work. It has made up a strong, petition to Congress to take active Interest in the work.

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.

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.

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.
