The State Bcujhtthe Northeastern.
AVlanta,Ga., April 10.—The Northeast¬
ern railroad was bought today at fore¬
closure sale by Gov. Atkinson, who bid it
in for the state of Georgia. His bid was
$100,000, and it was the only one made.
The road runs from Atlanta to Lulu on
the Southern road, a distance o?40 miles.
Several years ago the state of Georgia
indorsed $2169,000 of the Northeastern’s
bonds. The purchase today was to pro¬
tect the state, which owns the property.
Georgia also owns the Western & Atlan-
1 ic railroad from Atlanta to Chattanooga,
which is a fine property. It is leased and
and operated by the Nashville, Chatta
noogo and St. Louis railroad, which pays
$120,000 a year rental. If no offer to
lease is made for the Northeastern the
state will operate it.
The state will have $280,000 invested
in the road when thi bonds of the road
are redeemed. At present the road is
earning enough to pay 7 per cent on this
amount, so the state is not hurt by be
coming the owner of the property. The
state will pay only '■>}■< per cent on the re¬
demption bonds.
The rumor that the Southern and the
Seaboard Air Line would be strong bid
bers at the sale of the Northeastern was
exploded and when Sheriff Weir of Clark
comity offered the road for salt there was
au ominous silence. Then Gov. Atkinson
bid $100,000 in the name of the state.
Gov. Atkinson will retain for the present
at least, R. K. Reaves, state agent of the
Norf heastern, and the road will be run in
the name of the state. There are a num¬
ber of applicants for the position now
held by Mr. Reaves, but as the success of
the road depends upon the amount of
Athens freight it receives, and as Mr.
Reaves has been quite successful in his
management, he will probably be re¬
tained.
The Blue Ridge and Atlantic road, run¬
ning from Cornelia to Tallulah Falls, a
distance of twenty-five miles, may be
brought to the block by the state, which
claims that its legal rights extend over
that road. The Blue Ridge and Atlantic
people differ on that subject and will
fight the matter in the courts if the state
attempts to sell the road.
The Northeastern road will beoperated
by I he state until next October, when the
legislature will take the matter in hand
and will adjust it. It is reliably stated
that the probable course will be the pas¬
sage of an act allowing the governor to
receive scaled bids as to the purchase or
lease of the road. If it should come to a
question of leasing the road, it will more
than likely fall into the hands of a com¬
pany of Alberts merchants. The policy of
the state, will be to float bonds, pay off
the bonds upon which it is indorser, and
make all the money it can until the road
is permanently dispose of.
Coleman’s Jewelry Haul.
Atlanta, Ga., April 16.—Attorneys for
the Stillson & Collins Jewelry Company
filed suit against the Sooth -rn Express
Company today to recover $1,000, the
value of the goods recently obtained
from the agent of thecompany atSwains
boro by the crook sailing under the name
of J. C. Coleman. In the papers it is al¬
leged that $870 worth ot diamonds,
rings and $68.5'.) worth of watches wore
shipped to J. C. CJeman at Swainsboro
and were not delivered to him. No men¬
tion is made of the delivery of the goods
to Coleman, the crook, but it is charged
that the company appropriated the jew¬
elry to its own use and has failed to de¬
liver it to the owners. The express com¬
pany will-defend itself in thesuitby main¬
taining that the jewelry was delivered to
the man who ordered it. Other suits
will probably follow by Coleman’s vic¬
tims in other cities of the state.
Attacked From The Rear.
Atlanta, Ga., April 16.—About two
o ’clock this iftcrnoon, while standing on
Marietta street, near Broad, waiting for
a car, G. N. Ilurtel, news editor of the
Evening Journal, was assaulted by A. A,
Murphy, once an Atlanta prohibition
leader in the days of Sam Small, the two
being twin stars in prohibition politics.
Mr. Ilurtel was standing on the curbing,
and as be leaned forward to look for a
car, lie was struck a powerful blow, ap¬
parently from behind, just back of the
left car. Mr. Murphy hit the newspaper
man several blows in rapid succession,
being a much larger man than Mr. Ilur¬
tel, before the latter could grab the stick.
A large crowd collected, and Mr. Murphy,
accompanied by a friend, who was with
him, left the scene without being arrest¬
ed. Ilurtel was painfully, but not se¬
riously injured.
The assault is the sequel to a difficulty
which occurred several years ago between
Messrs. Murphy, Ilurtel and Jack Hast¬
ings, a reporter on the Journal, which
arose over a card published by Air. Afur
phy, charging that he had been misrepre¬
sented. Messrs. Ilurtel aud Hastings
met- Mr. Murphy, on the street and beat
him up badly with sticks. Air. Morphy
80011 after left Atlanta. When he met
Air. Ilurtel . , today , , he decided it .. his
was
day, and pitched into him to repay the
drubbing he had received,

His Lips Were Sealed.
Thotnasville, Ga., April 16.—The death
of an ox-convict near here brings back to
memory oue of the most foul murders
ever committed in this section of Georgia,
and the convict’s grave hides a secret
which he closely guarded with a sense of
loyalty to his associates in crime. His
lips have gone to the grave sealed, and
those who led him to commit the deed
will at last feel safe.
About two years ago, near Pelham, in
Mitchell county, Larking Nix, a well to
da white farmer was taken fromhishouee
by a mod, tied to a tree in the woods and
most brutally murdered. The crime cre¬
ated a sensation in South Georgia, and
officers made dilligent search to appre¬
hend the murderers.
One day alter the commission of the
crime, Barney White, a young man, while
drinking, made certain statements in a
spirit of bravado which led to his arrest,
He was convicted of the murder of Nix
and sentenced to a life term in the peni¬
tentiary. It developed at the trial that
White, while drunk, had been led to com¬
mit the crime by older and wiser heads.
It has always been believed that those
implicated were well-known men in Mitch¬
ell county, who belonged to some kind of
whitecap organization. Young White
was offered every inducement to give the
names of his associates in crime, but he
steadily refused to do so with a loyalty
worthy of a better cause.
White had never been considered a way¬
ward boy by his neighbors, and up to the
time of his conviction of the murder,
had always borne a good reputation. He
was sent to the Durham Junction coal
mines. Here in the dark and damp coal
beds he began to work out his life sen¬
tence. In a little while his health failed
and consumption soon developed. His
friends and neighbors went before the
governor and the result was a pardon
A few weeks ago he came back to the
home of his boyhood to die. Another ef¬
fort was made to get him to confess and
give the names of those who had planned
the murder of Nix. But he still refused
to make any statement and a few days
ago breathed his last with his lips still
sealed.
Helps to a Large Fortune.
Washington, Ga., April 16.—Mr. James
A. Benson, of this place, and his brother,
have received notice that they have fallen
heirs to an estate in Scotland worth
$875,000. They are great grandsons of
Sir John Downes, a Scotch soldier aid
large laud owner.
Afr. Patrick Benson, one of the broth¬
ers, and a lawyer, oi California, who was
here on a visit a few days ago, has gone
to Scotland to look after the large estate
which they have inherited.
He Got His License.
Last week our honorable Ordinary re¬
ceived a letter from a young man resid¬
ing in the lower part of the county, which
although intended, as he termed it, “a
joke,” yet exhibited a strong spirit of re¬
taliation. The young fellow had fallen
in love with a young lady in the neigh¬
borhood and expected to mar -y her at an
early date, but recently the father of the
boy notified the ordinary that his son
was too young to nmrry and for that
reason he objected to the issuing of a
marriage license.
The feelings of that youth must be im¬
agined. It is suspected though that fond
hopes vanished; beautiful thoughts, once
making his youthful life a joy forever,
were then changed into sorrow, and there
was nothing for him to hope for. The
smiles of his betrothed did not look as
sweet and pleasing as before and by no
means consoling. He was sad, but as
soon os he recovered to someexteRt from
the dreadful experience occasioned by his
father’s protest, he determined to “get
even” with the old man.
Mr. Fulford, his father, is a widower,
57 years old and he wanted to get mar¬
ried too. The son knowing this fact,
wrote the letter above referred>4o, which
read about this way:
“My father notified you that he ob¬
jected to the issuing of a marriage license
to me because he considered me too
young yet to contract marriage. His ob¬
jection was sufficient, and I now notify
you not to issue him a license if he calls
or sends for it because he is too old.”
The old gentleman came in Friday
morning and over the “* injunction "" of his
The occasion was qnite a singular one, did
and caused much laughter. Borne

A WEEK IN WASHINGTON.
A Weekly Letter from Our Regular
Correspondent.
Washington, April 15,1895.
Democratic Senators are ns a rule in
favor of the republicans reorganisi tig the
Senate committees and taking the re¬
sponsibility of legislating at the next ses¬
sion of Congress, but they do not favor
the proposal which has been informally
to ignore the right ot Senator Mor¬
rill, of Vermont, to become chairman of
the finance committee in order to give
that place to senator Sherman. Senator
Yoorl e?s; the present chairman of that
computtee, having said that he expected
to turn the conunitte over to Senator
Morrill at the beginning of the next ses¬
sion, was asked if he thought Senator
Morrill would relinquish his claim to the
chairmanship in order to give it to Sher¬
man. He replied: “I certainly do not.
Why shonld he? He is ns vigorous as
many younger men, and any effort to
displace him would be shameful, after
his many years of service on the commit¬
tee. I should personally resent a move¬
ment of that character.”
So much has been said about what the
Finance committee of the Senate may do
at the next session of Congress that Sen¬
ator Yoorhees’ diagnosis of that commit¬
tee is interesting as well as valuable. He
ays: “It is a silver committee now, and
it will continue lo bo ik silver conn ittee
regardless of the views of the addition
which the republicans may make to it.
Mr. McPherson, a democrat, is the only
member of the committee as at present
organized who will not be a member of
the next Congress, and he is the only
democratic member who is opposed to
silver. The other five democratic mem¬
bers will, with Senator Jones, of Nevada,
constitute a quorum of the committee,
even if the vacancy should be filled by the
appointment of an anti-silver republican,
but if the silver republicans should suc¬
ceed in getting one of their own number
on the committee the silver majority will
be just that much more pronounced.”
No official under the Treasury depart¬
ment who may hereafter get into trouble
through any sort of delinquincy or mis¬
conduct will be allowed to resign. Secre¬
tary Carlisle has issued an order to all
the chiefs of the bureau, that in such
case^wsesqisnjnendation for the removal of
the bffending person must be made to
him. This may appear to be a small
matter, but it is really an important re¬
It has been the custom for many
to allow employes detected in some
dishonorable transaction to retire from
office by the resignation route, leaving
nothing upon the records toindicatethat
the retirement has been under a cloud,
and complaints have been made by those
who have afterwards lost money by sup¬
posing these men to be honorable because
of their department record. The record
will in future show these things os they
really are.
Senator Lmdsay, of Kentucky, who ar¬
rived in Washington this week, direct
from home, where he has been since the
adjournment of Congress, says the Ken¬
tucky campaign appears to him to be up
to this time more talked about in Wash¬
ington than in Kentucky.
Hon. E. C. Wall, the Wisconsin member
of the National Democratic committc, is
in Washington. He expressed himself as
follows about the calling of that silver
convention by the Illinois democracy this
to consider the silver question:
“I don’t see what they are driving at or
what good can be accomplished by such
action. It occurs to me that it is prema¬
ture and unnecessary. Speaking for what
I believe to be the sentiment of the dem¬
ocratic jiarty in Wisconsin, I have no hes¬
itation in saying that the fiat silver craze
has no following with us, and it is not
probable that it will ever have. Our
pie, and especially the gentlemen, are
dead set against all financial heresies.”
Probably the busiest official in Wash¬
ington just now is Internal RevenueCom
missioner Miller, who is engaged in mak¬
ing the instructions for the collection of
the income tax conform to the decision
of the Supreme Court. He has the bene¬
fit of the advice of President Cleveland
and all the members oi the cabinet, but it
is a hard task all the same.
If there .was ever a more unpopular de¬
cision of the Supreme Court handed down
than that declaring incomes derived from
rents and state and municipal bondscon
stitutionally exempt from Federal taxa¬
tion nobody in Washington remembers
it. The question of the constitutionality
of the remainder of the income tax was
not decided, the court standing four to
four with Justice Jackson absent on
count of sickness. This leaves the
ion of the lower court, affirming the
stitutionality of the law, in force, but
also leave# a cloud over the law that
remain until the question is decided
the Supreme Court, with a full bench
ting.

Jacksonville, Fla., April 15.—Mrs. W.
D. Alexander, who with her husband,
rooms at the residence of J. C. Purdy, in
Riverside, a suburb of Jacksonville, had
quite an exciting adventure with a rob¬
ber Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Alexander
was alone in the house, and while sitting
at the door hoard stealthy footsteps, and
as she arose to see what it was on the
piazza, with two bounds a man stood be¬
fore her. He demanded all the money
there was in the house, and when told
there was none went and tried another
door. Mrs. Alexander get-earned, and the
robber jumped back; at her and demand¬
ed the keys to the door which he found
locked. She refused him and, seizing her
by the collar, he pulled out a knife and
made two thrusts at her. The first
thrust struck the steel in her corset and
the second a whalebone in the waist
her dress. He then threw her to one
and she fell oa the bed.
The robber evidently thought he
killed her, and going into the next room
made a hasty search through a trunk
money. Mr. Alexander and Mr. and Mrs.
Purdy returned home two hours and a
half later and found Mrs. Alexander in
an unconscious condition. It was
an hour before they could briug her
enough to tell her story.

The harvest truly is great, but the la¬
borers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest , that lie would send forth
laborers into his harvest.—Luke 10:2.
“It is us necessary now as it ever was
that the church should pray for an in¬
crease of laborers in the harvest field.
These laborers are sent of God, but they
are also sent in response to human inter¬
cession. The burden of the ‘harvest’ of
the world ought to be upon every Chris¬
tian heart, ‘l’ray ye’—not tninisters
alone, or missionaries, or eminent believ¬
ers, but all Christ's people.”
The fact is, the whole unsaved world is
today nt the feet of the church ready for
salvation; and when we consider the mag¬
nitude and glory of the work in its end,
the heart of the church must bo dead in¬
deed, if it is not sprung to greater life
than was ever known before. Will we
have that life? Will the result of all of
these efforts in behalf of the redemption
of man prove the church to.be alive, or
will it prove that the soil has been killed
by the cares of the world? What will the
harvest be? We hope, arul we yet fear.
We need to pray the Lord of the harvest,
perhaps first of all, that he would regen¬
erate the soil in the church.
The conflict between .Japan and China
goes on, with most of the victories with
the Japanese. The news from the field is
often contradictory, nnd the prospects of
peace ate uncertain. Nothing seetns cer¬
tain except that this war has brought to
the church of God the most wonderful op¬
portunity of this century. It would per¬
haps, be within the limits Of sober state¬
ment to say that no such opportunity
for the promulgation of Christianity has
been seen in any century. .The age of
Paul and the apostolic chutcli certainly
presented no such favorable opening for
Christian work. If the church of today
had the faith and consecration of theear
ly church, a nation might be born toGod
in a day.
China is becoming more and more pre¬
pared for the gospe| as the years go by,
and the day of her redemption draweth
nigh.
Some Chinese women who heard Dr.
Patson speak of theNew Hebrides brought
him a contribution for his work, saying,
“We must not only think of those who
are near, but of those who ore far off: for
they also are our brethren.”
There are found inChinamany.menwho
are willing, for five dollars a month—a
hare su pport—an d someti mes for no thing,
togo aboutpreachingChristianity. Many
of the native helpers make long aud sys¬
tematic itineraries. K
Among the significant signs of the times
is the fact that 125 men and women of
wealth have gone out from Great Britain
as missionaries in heathen lands at their
own cost. It reveals the depth and width
of the spirit of consecration, that the
church must have before the world is won
for Christ.

week,” she said, “my heart was all torn
np, and I went to their tent and prayed
out loud to Jesus to make-it weil. • The
young fellows in the camp put their blan¬

and laughed. But'Y did not care; I
gave them a good talk and told •them
what a bad road they were on. When it
goj; better I wanted to bring it - down to
the church and have it baptized; but ipy
nephew’s father, who is a great gambler,
wouldn’t consent to it; he talked very
bad to me. I told hitn^hat ifbV Itihould
go on the good road; but'if he didn-t let
it be put on the good toad nojv, ,that
when it got big it might go on the gam¬
bling road with him.” I cannot tell you

of sweet Christian hope and perfect faith
in Jesus, —Miss Helen Brewster, Fort Bill.
