rom tho Now York Times,
Chicago, Oct. 3.—E. M. Knox, the
well-known hat manufacturer of New
York^mJ Brooklyn, returned haturday
’ewYork from a visit to the World’s
^vith something more than pleasur-
nbier memories of his ten days’ stay
'^He takes with him the information
that he has been voted, by the Judges of
iLward, the highest awards for silk dress
oats, stiff or hard derby hats, . oft hats,
’rom the tiny pocket hat to the som
brero of the plains; ladies’ ridi ig hats,
md straw hata for men, women and
•hildren. This is all the more gratify-
ng to the hatter by reason of the civ-
-umstauces attending the exhibition
which he mal-.cs at Chicago, but more
particularly because the awards carry
with them the decision that, in the
'ntRd Slate-, are made hats superior to
io a e produced in any other country in
te world.
Those who have seen the Knox ex
bit are not surprised that it should
ive been so signally distinguished. It
conceded to he one of the finest at

mntry. Not only are silk, derby, soft

iildren turned out by hundreds daily,
every form of special hat is mami-

-arrier’s cap to the fancy cassimere

lit proves conclusively, by a display

finest product oi the hatinaker’s

Altogether one of the prettiest wed
dings ever seen in Albany was that
solemnized at the Methodist church at
8 o’clock last Thursday night, linking
together the lives of Miss Annie Bell
and Mr; \V. A. Sumter.
Long before the appointed hour the
ohuroh was well crowded with the
friends aud admirers of tile contract
ing parties, thus evidencing their pop
ularity and the esteem In which they
were held by every acquaintance. Ra
diant expectancy was pictured on
every face in the house—all anxious to
witness the marriage of one of Al
bany’s loveliest daughters to one of
Nature’s noblemen.
The chancel ami pulpit were beauti
fully decorated with ferns and ever
green—studded with the most lovely
flowers, artistionlly arrayed.
It was justS o’clock when, under the
magio touch uf Miss Bruce Under
wood, the great pipe organ chimed
forth tlie inspiring strains of Mendels
sohn’s wedding march. A few mo
ments Inter, the wedding procession
marched down the center aisle, form
ing on either side of the chancel in the
following orde :
Ushbks—B. M. Comfort, J. L. Jay,
Jr., J. II. Brinson and C. 1). Mallory.
Attkndants—VV. P, Hornady with
Miss Bessie Carroll, J. II. Price with
Miss Ruth Lester, A. J. Scott witli
Miss Minnie Girdner, Charley Bell
with Miss Nellie Jay.
Next came the groom attended
by Mr. Charles Godfrey, who acted
as best man. They took their stand a
few feet from the altar, facing the at
tendants on the left. Then came the
fair bride lenuing upon the arm of her
mother. Bride never looked lovlier
than stie, and as she walked slowly up
the aisle every eye was turned upon
her.
She wore a dress of white China silk,
trimmed with white silk lace; veil of
white Bilk tulle. Hair deooratlons,
orange bit ssoms.
V When l hey readied the groom, in
frbnt of ti e chancel, she took bin arm
and faced the minister, Rev. W. J. Rob
ertson, who, in a beautiful and impres
sive manner, spoke the words that
bound the two lives together.
After the ceremony the party, led by
the bride gud groom, marehed out of
the church in the order numed.
The bride is well known to every
body in Albany. She is the daughter
of Mrs. Rosalie Bell and a grand
daughter of the late Fred R. Lehman.
She has always been a favorite among
a large circle of friends. Her happy
disposition and sunny smiles have al
ways cast a blessed influence over
the circle of her acquaintances. Gifted
with a bright mind, possessing these
admirable traits found in the life of a
Christian, she will make for the man
of her choiceTrfbnd and faithful help
meet.
The groom numbers his friends in
this city by the score. He oame to
Albany nbout six years ago from
Jesup and has since been employed in
the oflice of the S., F. & W. B’y., where
he now holds the honorable position of
chief clerk. He is a young" man of
sterling worth, steady and industri
ous—displaying those traits of tho ex

The Srnlcotri Dmliosl 10 Bvll Doer*
by Judge Bower.
Tile Ootober Term of Dougherty
Superior Court was adjourned by
Judge Bower Friday afternoon,
having been in session two weeks.
Last week the criminal dnol.et was
dealt with, and when it is stated
there is only one case to be carried
over, some idea of the splendid work
done, can bo obtained.
Iu addressing the Grand Jury Fri
day afternoon, hefure discharging
them, Judge Bower took occasion to
refer to the fact that both the oivil
and criminal dockets of the Court were
in a very good condition.
Whenthe tlinooaine Wednesday after
noon for the convicted criminals to
reoeive their sentences, six of them
put in appearnnee. One by one they
were arraigned before the Judge and
received their seutencess as follows:
Jim Thomas; arson and burglary.
Plea of guilty. Six years.
Peter Givings; arson and burglary.
Guilty. Twenty-live years.
Sherman Givings; arson and mur
der. Guilty. Twenty-live years.
Peter Dennis; murder. Plea of
guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Twelve years.
John Jenkins; burglary. One year.
Henry Stevenson; carrying con
cealed weapons. One year or $40 and
costs.
Beil Lockett;’ assault to murder.
Two years.
Aud the Judge I.nughrd, Too*
At the Court House Fridny after
noon, while Judge Bower was passing
sentence upon the oonvioted criminals,
that worthy ran amuck a lineal de
scendant of Ham who was truly a
wonderful mixture, and strongly com
pounded
The Negro’s name is Henry Steven
son, anil he was convicted of oarrying
concealed weapons. He made his
debut with that modesty so character
istic of the hardened jail-bird, and
gazed just as admiringly at the sedate
Judge ns was possible for him to do.
As Judge Bower began to lecturohim
on bis crime and was on the point of
passing the sentence the Negro said :
“Jedge, I ain’t neber been carryin’
no pistol, and dey ain’t never proved
it on me, ’oause •”
The Judge interrupted him and
told him that his plea would have to
be brief and to the point.
“Jedge, you Axin' right now ter git
me whnr f can’t pay outer dls scrape.
I nin’t—"
“Twelve impartial jurymen have
found you guilty, anil I will have (o
sentence you ”
“Good Lord, Jedge; you know'I
nin’t neber toted no pistol, nod you
gwlne right long so I enn't |my my
self outer dls predickeriuent—”
“I will sentence you to twelve
months in tlie ”
“Oh, Lawd, Jedge! [ told you you
gwinter ruin dis Nigger. I neber is ter
pay out ”
“Or $40 and oosts.”
“’Fore de good Lawd, I nehi-r is to
tote ’nnthcr pistol long’sl live.”
And Henry was led away to make
room for the others, muttering all the
while that the Judge had ruined him
and that lie would never be able to pay
out.
The Negro’s plea was quite unex
pected and “brought down the house,’’
and ’tis said that the Judge also found
it impossible to suppress his risibil
ities.

CUTTING! A FFKAV.
One Negro Unrves Another In Bnet Al<
bony Mnturdnr Night.
Thcro was a Negro “cake-walk” in
East Albany Saturday night which
was attended by a goodly number of
different stripes of the descendants of
Hnm.
Ampng the number were Jnok Jor
dan and Will Scott, two darkies quite
well known In Albany. They were
what is known ub leaders of the gang,
and everything progressed well
enough until about 11 o’clock when
they agreed to disagree and light out
an old feud that lmd existed between
them for some time. Scott, it appears,
got the bulge on Jordan, and with a
good keen knife, commenced to play
the butcher not on him. They fought
furiously for quite a while, and when
the smoke of tile battle had cleared
awny it was found that Jordan had
received a deep stab just above the
right nipple, a gash on the right arm
just below the elbow, and another on
the same arm near the shoulder.
Scott e$oaped with a few bruises.
Jordan’s wounds bled freely, anil by
the time he was brought into the city
and turned over to Dr. Robinson, his
clothes well saturated with blood.
The Doctor gave him the necessary
attention, and pronounoed the wounds
painful thuugh not necessarily serious.
A warrant has been sworn out
against Scott, charging him with as
sault with intent to murder.

dny night, 8th inst. Mr. Brown, al
though the value of Iris stock was
largely in excess of tlm'amount of his
Insurance, would have been better off
to-day if the whole stock had been
consumed by the lire. Then the in
surance companies would have lmd no
chance to quibble; but, as it is, they
seem tu have forced Mr. Brown into
the longest and most troublesome
course that the situation afforded.
The adjusters came here hist week,
and, without making any sortuf prop
osition for an adjustment of the loss,
told Mr. Brown to “take stock,” anil
then went away. Mr. Brown tendered
his books and invoices to show what
goods lie hail on hand, hut, instead of
taking these, the representatives of the
iniurance companies left him no al
ternative but to go through the
smoked and charred remains of his
stock and itemize everything. When
the fact that Mr. Brown was carrying
a good part of the risk himself,
and that the loss is not one that can
be questioned, is taken into consid
eration, it seems that the course
adopted by the companies carrying bis
insurance is one that imposes a hard
ship upon him that is manifestly 111 ib-] pjfe Cure entirely cured me.’

time in mnkinginquiries as towhether
“it was a ease of murder or suicide?”
The child, meanwhile, was visibly
drowning, when a dog—a workman’s
miserable dog, destined to end a
wretched day in the Stabularia Muni
cipal (lost dogs’ yard)—leaped bnrk-
ng into tile Tiber, under the eyes of
all tlie screaming but useless crowd.
The poor lienst, accustomed to feed
upon the street od'al and to sleep in
any shed it could Anil, swam out to the
little girl in peril, caught her dress
arid brought her to the shore. When
lie saw her in safety the dog bayed
and jumped for joy, licking the cliiids
face and hands. It appears that they
hnd been friends. The child had
known the dog in a manufactory at
Prati di Sastello, and the pour animal
was grateful to her for some crumbs
or caresses. The crowd then tried to
catch the dog, to see how an animal
more brave than so many men was
made. But it ran through their midst
and disappeared,

An article which appeared a day or
twongoln the Hkhald in reference
to the drunken man who out up sn-h
didos on the top of an electrio light
pole In Atlanta, and the ubservation
that a Providence ’vatohed over
drunken men, brought to mind a sim
ilar ooourroiieo which happened in »
town in Georgia scvernl years ago. I11
the town ill question, there is a oozy
little ohuroh which boasts one of the
highest steeples in the State.
I n fact,it would seem that t lie congre
gation was ambitious of establishing
a communication, by aid of the steeple,
heavenward. When the church wns
being built, one of the workmen fell
from this steeple and was terribly in
jured, and so great wns its height that
no one slnoe then could be persuaded
or bribed to climb it. In this town
wsb a well known oharnoter whose
fondness for the cheering cup caused
him to bo known as “Whisky Jnck-
Bon.” In uno of his dnily sprees he
decided to climb this steeple, ami up
he went to tho very top. Those who
saw him on ins airy peroh held their
breath in sheer amazement and fright,
expecting him to be dashed down
from the awful height. After viewing
tlie landscape o’er he descended to
terra flrma, nnd further astonished the
onlookers, for in the top of tho steeple
he had discovered a hornets nest,
which he appropriated, nnd for safe
keeping during his descent, he had
placed the nest, hornets nnd all, in the
bosom of Ills shirt, nnd not a hornet
had stung him.

of the fair ones presided and in toast
ing the guest of tho occasion said:
“Girls, Miss II.— deserves all she hns
been given. While we were playing
pinoohie, going to the thentre with the
boys and eanh other, and taking sleigh
rides in the Park, always with the
boys, last winter,she was studying for

but I don’t bar all the boys, for you
see, while Miss II.— was poring nway

A reliable nnd successful fanner of
Lee county, wiio was in town Monday
morning has settled nil doubts that a
person might have as to whether or
not there was any frost that morning.
Said lie: “I was lip early—with tlie
sun, and in every locality where there
was any moisture, frost could be seen
in goodly quantities; some places hnd
a coating of white so thick that
could write my name in it.
“The potato vines were considerably

man who says there wasn’t plenty of
frost this morning.”
