Atlanta, June 16.—Growing out of
the Rawson divorce case, the following
cards aie published in the Journal of
this afternoon:
“Rumors connecting me with the
paternity of Mrs. Rawson’s child have
been prevalent in the city for several
days and the newspapers are now pub
lishing theln. I denounce all such
rumors ns Infamous falsehoods, and
without the slightest foundation of
truth. Any person who states that
there was ever, in the slightest degree,
any improper relations between Mrs.
Rawson ami myself is nil infamous
liar and a slanderer of an innocent
woman. “Jno. T. Glknn.”

Mayor Gilbert Elay* a Prnak on a
Rnrnl ‘-Deestrlcier.**
They were all seated near the front
door of the drug store of Mayor W. II.
Gilbert, when, in some way, the sub
ject of close weights came up.
Numerous instances were oited to
illustrate the stinginess of men who,
in days gone by, had done business 111
these partB.
Somebody told about the merchant
who would out a grain of rice in twain
to make the scales balance.
Then, another fellow told of how he
once saw a farmer slice a sweet potn-
toe in order to level a peck measure.
While all this kind of talk was go
ing on Mayor Gilbert’s eyes sparkled
reminiscently, and, after gaining the
right-of-way of talk, he said :
“That reminds me of a little inci
dent that happened not many years
ago, and in which I tigured very pro
miscuously. It came about in this
way:
“I was in the drug business then, as
I am now, when,.one day, while I was
very busy behind the prescription
counter, III sauntered a countryman.
I asked him if there was anything I
do for him, and he answered, “No.” I
then told him to make himself at home
as I was busy just then, but would en
tertain him in a few minutes. I went
on with my work, and, directly, the
countryman came behind the prescrip
tion desk and watched me as I tilled
the ‘prescripts.’ At the time I was
weighing out some kind of powders—I
don’t remember what. Anyhow, I
went right on with the weighing—per
fectly oblivious of the countryman’s
presence.
"In order to arouse his curiosity and
to exact some comment from my rural
friend, I took my spatula and would
take off some of the powders and then
put some back. I knew that I was be
ing watched intently, but I never ‘let
on.’ After going through the ‘take
out’ and ‘put back’ process about a
dozen times, and was nearly ‘busting’
to laugh at my friend’s quizzical face,
he interrupted me by saying:
‘ “Look-er-here, Mister, I don’t mean
nothing by saying it, but I’ll be gol-
dinged ef yer ain't the durndest closest
weigher ever I seed!’
“Well, boys,” said the Mayor, last
night, “I just thought I would die. I
laughed until my sides ached, my back
ached and my—well, I asked ‘country’
what he would ‘take,’ and he got it.”

From Monday’s Evening Horald.
A few days ago N. L. Ragan, grain
and provision broker, bad bis plaoe of
business olosed by virtue of an execu
tion in favor of tlie Lewis Brothers.
Tho step whioli resulted in olosing up
Mr, Ragan’s business was preolpitated
by rumors that he was left in a orip-
pled condition by the suspension on
Hobbs & Tuoker’s bank. He did his
banking business with Hobbs &
Tucker, and when they became embar
rassed he transferred to them all his
available property and assets to seoure
them on what he owed them, except
certain papers amounting to about
$8,000, which lie transferred to Ills
brother, It. J. Ragan, of Rome, to se
cure the latter for some accommoda
tion and unsecured indorsements.
The Herald made no reference in
its columns to Mr. Ragnn’s trouble on
the day that his store was closed, be
cause Mr. Ragan stated that lie had
made over everything he had to his
creditors and hoped to get matters ad
justed In a few days.
Now it transpires that Hobbs &
Tucker knew nothing of the transfer
of these papers to R. J. Ragan, and
they claim that they should have been
turned over to them under the omni
bus transfer of notes, books, accounts,
etc., made to them by N. L. Ragan. A
legal light is now on between Hobbs &
Tucker and the RaganB.
It seems that Ragan’s books had not
been delivered to Hobbs & Tucker,
and that they were not forthcoming
when a demand was made for them.
This resulted in the issuance of a
possessory warrant on Saturday after
noon, but when Sheriff Edwards
Bought N. L. Ragan he failed to find
him. The warrant was then served of
R. J. Ragan, who had been here two
days but was intending to leave for
Rome on Saturday night. It now
transpires that N. L. Ragan was ad
vised of the issuance of the possessory
warrant in time to make himself “non
eomatabus” for the nono, and that be
left town with the knowledge and
consent of his attorney to visit his wife,
who is at present in Florida.
Col. J. W. Waltera, Mr. Ragan’s at
torney, informed the Herald to-day
that his client hadn’t left town to stay,
apd that he could be found whenever
he is wanted.
There is also some trouble between
a Chloago packing house, one of the
local railroad agents, Hobbs <fc Tucker
and Ragan over some meat that was
shipped out to Ragan bv the Chicago
house. Four earsof meat are involved
in this matter, from ilrst to Inst, and it
is a four-cornered affair and so
badly mixed that the Herald will not
undertake to unravel It. Everybody
in town seems to know something
about it, and everybody except those
who are interested In it nnd in posi
tion to know all ab::ut It Is willing to
talk about It; but the Herald has
been unable to get the straight of it
from those who are doing the talking,
and will not undertake to handle it at
the risk of committing an error or
prejudicingthe interest of some of the
parties involved.
A I-lrelr Mcrnp.
From Saturday's fiVKNiNO Hkuai.ii.
Mr. E. Simkins had a lively exper
ience with a Negro woman on Wash,
ington street at about noon to-day.
Mr. Simkins lmd bought some cotton
at Hall’s warehouse, and, after the
bales lmd been trucked out into the
street ready for shipment he dlseoV'
ered a Negro woman pulling great
wads of the fleecy staple out of one of
the bales and stuffing it into a bag.
He spoke to her and eharged her with
stealing his cotton, when the woman
turned upon him and commenced to
abuse him.
Mr. Simkins finally took hold of the
wuman and called for an oflicer, but no
ofllcer was near, and pretty soon the
cotton buyer found that he had his
hands full. After struggling in vain to
release herself from Mr. Simkins’ grip
the woman spat in his face. This was
more than the man could bear, and he
proceeded at once to frail her over tile
head with his umbrella handle. After
wearing out his umbrella he threw the
woman down and held her until a Ne
gro man came to the rescue and in
formed Mr. Simkins that the woman
was crazy, and took her away.
The woman was unknown by Mr.
Simkins, but she proved to be Harriet
Browder, who has been mentally un
balanced for some time past. Yester
day and this morning she bad been
going through the streets giving away
sprigs of evergreen and proclaiming,
“Salvation’s free to you an’ me to-day.”
She was taken home, and should be
kept there, or sent to tbe insane
asylum. .

Postmaster General BIsBell has re
scinded hi? order that no Republican
postmasters should be removed with
out oharges being filed against the in-
oumbent.
The Washington correspondent of
the Atinnta Constitution says that
when the ruling was made doubt and
dismay were carried into the ranks of
the senators nnd representatives.
There is no law limiting the term of
fourth-class postmasters to four pears,
though that has heretofore been the
rdle adopted in all administrations.
In coiiBeqUvnce of Mr. Bissell’s move
the congressmen have refused in most
oases to file chargess against men who,
with the exception of their political
creeds, were able officers. While these
efforts were being made to iuffuene
the postoffice department Representa
tive Slpe.of Pennsylvania, oalled in
regard to a fourth-olass postoffioe in
his district. Mr. Bisseli interposed
the new ruling. Mr. Sipe argued the
question. ‘ Finally, Mr. Bisseli, who
thought Mr. Slpe was a newly eleoted
congressman, with a quizzical and ag
gravating smile, inquired : “How long
have yen. been a member of congress?”
“A cl—d sight longer than you have
been postmaster general.” replied Mr.
Sipe angrily.
This broke up the oonferenoe, but it
gave the postmaster general something
to think about. The result of liis cog
itations is seen in his recent determin
ation. dil consequence Colonel Moses
was able to land two good Demoorats
on Wednesday without making per
sonal charges against the present in
cumbents.

High Callage atnudlng of Tin Popular
Albany Young Ladles.
The commencement exercises of
Mount de Bales, tbe well-known Cath
olic female college, at Macon, oocurred
yesterday.
From the programme rendered, as
published in Saturday’s Constitution,
it Ipcjf&enea that two of Albany’s most
popultffy3ung'lilat^s''eftri‘l(id'‘tfffthe
highest honors.
Miss Annie Mock, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Jno. Meek, of this city, was
awarded the senior saholnrsblp medal.
The history medal of Rev. A. J. Bem-
mes was also won by Miss Mook. Be
sides capturing the above medals, Miss
Mock was awarded a premium as the
best Freooh scholar and another in
instrumental musio.
Miss Teresa lirosnan, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Denis Brosnan, of this
city, was awnrdeil Rev. J. B.BInuIaer's
Christian doctrine medal. This is
quite an honor, as Miss Brosnau was
given the prize over a large number of
competitors.
These young ladies have many
friends in Albany who will be gi»d to
learn of the high standing which they
took at this popular college, and all
feel assured that the honors were
worthily bestowed.

The readers of the Herald will re.
member that a young man calling
himself J. C. Fayette spent nilay in Al
bany, a few weeks ago, and succeeded
in “raising a stake” to leave town on
by forging tbe name of the Bov. W. J.
Robertson to two or three checks, eacli
of the checks being for small amounts.
Fayette skipped after raising the
money on the ehecka he had forged,
and nothing more was heard of him
until a day or two ago, when it was
learned that a young man answering
bis description pretty well had been
arrested for jumping his board bill at
Waycross. Ofllcer Barron went down
to Waycross and returned to the city
with Fayette as a prisoner last night,
and this morning two or three parties,
among them Mr. Ben Allen who cashed
one of tbe forged checks, identiiied the
prisoner at the county jail as the same
man who had committed the forgeries.
Fayette was sailing under the name of
J. C. Williams down at Waycross. Ho
will be held and prosecuted for forgery.

It is whispered around that there is
to be some deoided improvements
made in the news service of the Al

That Huff-Allen-Price controversy
that has been going on in the Macon
papers for a week ur more pnst has led
to a light at last. Mr, W. A. Huff at
tacked editor Price, of the Telegraph,
on Saturday night. Here Is the story
of the assault as told by the Macon
correspondent of the Savannah News:
Macon, June 17.—About 11 o’olook
to-night W. A. Huff made an assaul’
upon W. G. F. Price, managing editor
of the Telegraph. He bent him se
verely with a olub. His son, Will, no-
compnnicd him. The assault whs an
outcume of the numerous cards which
have been published in tho newspa
pers. Mr. Prioo was sitting in front
of the Lanier House talking to T. J.
Carling, president of the telegraph
company, and Dr. MoIIntton, when
Mr. Huff anil his son approached them
and the former begin to beat Mr.
Price with a olub. Mr. Price endeav
ored to make resistance and his friends
jumped to their feet, as did Will Huff,
who drew a revolver, whereupon Mr.
Cnrling produced another, oovering
Will Huff’. Mr. Carling says the pis
tol wbs given him after young Huff’s
was produced, but the latter alleges
that Mr. Carling had the weapon all
the time.
THE ASSAULT ON TRICE.
Willie this was going on old man
Huff proceeded to pound Mr. Price,
nnd only desisted when he was pulled
off by tho people standing by. Mr.
Price was taken to his room in the
hotel and the Huffs to the police sta
tion, where a charge of assault! and
battery was entered ngaiiiBt them. Mr.
Prloe was badly injured about ills
scalp.
This afternoon J. R. Kennedy, city
editor of the Telegraph, carried a com
munication tjo Walter Huff. Huff
asked him if it waB a ohallege. Mr.
Kennedy said he didn’t know the con
tents of the communication, where
upon Walter Huff proceeded to curse
out Mr. Kennedy, deolaring that be
would not aeeept a challenge from the
hands of Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Huff In
sulted Mr. Kennedy grossly, but tbe
latter did not resent it, ns be says he
was prohibited from doing so under
the code. To-night’s fight followed.
A llimdfloiuo Request.
• Rev. Mr. Snell, who was In Albany
some tlmo ago asking donations for
the Baptist church at Tlfton, was the
happy recipient, a few dnys ago, of a
check for $500 for the Tlfton ohuroh
from a lady who had just died, in
Florida. The lady was a stranger to
Mr. Snell, and this made the unex
pected check doubly a surprise, blit
none the less wcloome.
Mr. Snell has been working bard for
some time to raise money for tbe
ohuroh, and bis faith lias never faltered
through many disappointments. So
firm was his belief that the money
would come from somewhere, tbit he
started to purchase a carpet for the
ohuroh before lie lmd the money to
pay for it. Now this donation has
come as a reward for his faith, and the
ohuroh can buy a now oarpet nnd have
a snug sum left for other needs.
The Administration needs anti-fat.
Dueino the last annual assembly of
tbe Cjeorgia Chautauqua, the IIerai.d
published a list of books for ohildren,
recommended by Col. F. W. Parker, of
the Cook County (III.) Normul School,
who was here as one of the instructors
in the Teachers’Institute held under
the supervision of State School Com
missioner Brad well. Since that time
we have had applications for eoples of
tlie paper containing the list of books
from nearly every State in the Union,
and some have even oome from Can.
ada. We mention this fact not for the
purpose of claiming any oredlt for the
Herald, but rather as going to show
what an extensive reputation Col
Parker has as an educator. The
faculty that we had at the Chautauqua
Teachers’ Institute last spring was
made up of tho best material the
oountry affords.
The cigarette law in the State of
Washington, which prohibits the salo
of cigarettes in that State, has been
declared unconstitutional by the
United States Court,it being held that
the little boxes in which tbe cigarettes
are packed, are original paokages, and
that any law prohibiting tbeir sale
eannot stand. The Herald is no
friend of the cigarette, but it does
seem that tbe little “coffin nails” have
been tbe cause of more foolish legisla
tion than any other known evil. Even
Georgia 1ms a law to provent the sale
of cigarettes to minors, but it is a dead
law, and has long been a subject for
tbe pun-makers $nd ridiculously in
clined. ■
