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, Vol.HI. GEORGIA NEWS.

Brunswick, Ga., Ap.il 16.—The local fishermen have set a plan on foot for a May convention of the noted fishermen o'the state. The matter has awakened much enthusiasm and elaborate invita¬ tions to all the fishermen in Georgia will be sent out. Special arrangements will be made for the entire trip to the fishing grounds at a stated price, including all expense and low excursion rates bn all the railroads. The details of the plan will be announced in a few days. 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 not think the old gentleman acted fairly with the boy, and the young man ia not at all satisfied.—SandersTille Progress. 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. _ Rudy’s Pile Suppository is refunded. to cure Piles Per and box, Constipation, 50 Fend or cents. for circular and free sample to Rudy, Lancaster, Fa For sate by first-class Wholesale Agents, druggists.

Elberton.Ua., April 10.—The Seaboard Airline Railroad Company has purchased the waterpower at Anthony Shoals, on Broad river in the lower partof tliiseout ty, the site of the Thompson old factory, and it is stated will run a canal from the river to Goody’s creek, about a mile dis¬ tant, and will build one of the largest cotton factories in the south.

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. Does Your Husband op Son Drink?

[This column has been set aside for, and from week to week will be-edited by, the Indies of the Missionary Society of the Statesboro Methodist church.—Eu.] 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. Dr. Jennie M. Taylor, niece,of Bishop Taylor of Africa, is the first person to go to a foreign land as a dental missionary. She is the daughter of the Rev. A. E. Tay¬ lor, a Methodist minister of Martinsville, Fa.

She was converted summer before last at a protracted meeting held by Brothers But¬ terfield, Brewer and Perez. She was a patient at the alter for nearly a week be¬ fore she was converted. Since then she has been a sweet-spirited Christian, and I would rather hear her pray than almost any’ one. She spent the evening with me yesterday, and I want to give you a translation of some things she said. The conversation was all intheComanehelan gnage, as she doesn’t know any English. “When my nephew’s baby was silk last 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¬ kets over their mouths, and snickered 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 all she said, buthsr conversation was full of sweet Christian hope and perfect faith in Jesus, —Miss Helen Brewster, Fort Bill. 0,2,
