It has been ascertained that

Jiis apples to market a week or

TRIED FOR MURDER,
I’ lanagan, the DeKalb county
murderer, was put on trial last
week for the murder of old Mrs.
Allen and Miss Slack.
His attorneys filed a plea of
insanity; that is, that he is now
insane and should not be tried
on thechargeof murder. Under
the law the judge submitted
this issue to a jury. If the jury
had found him insane, it would
have been the duty of the court
to have sent him to the asylum,
there to remain until he either

Indignant citizens.
The truth is that so many
red-handed murderers are es
caping under t he insanity (lodge
that public sentiment looks fa
vorably on mob violence in such
outrageous crimes. The enor
mity of the crime is used ns ev
idence that lie was not sane and
irresponsible for his acts.
An nmu-ing incident occurred
last Friday night. The street
car line runs near the court
house. Just before the last car
left at midnight some practical
joker put a number of torpedoes
on the track and when the
wheels run over them the rapid
explosions sounded like pistol
shots.
The soldiers and guards at
once imagined t hat the mob had
come to lynch Flanagan and
and the greatest excitement pre
vailed. Flanagan thought so
too and run around the court
in and would have jump<d
out the window had the guards
not caught him.
THE t'oBBKTT-IGTZSIM
MONS MILL.
Arrangements have all been
perfected for the prize fight al
Carson City, Nevada, between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons for
the championship of the world.
There is no danger of inter
ference there as the Legislature
has authorized the fight and re
quired a license* of .flUtKi for
the privilege.
Fitz. and Corbett are on (lie
ground with their trainers, and
both express their satisfaction
that they can fight without in
terference. ,
The training they undergo is
extremely hard, ns they daily
take active exercise in every
thing necessary to give them
strength, wind and endurance.
Corbett is much the large#
man, and he will have to train
off his surplus fiesh.
It is estimated that 20,000
people will assemble to witness
the great national tisticutf.

RAILROAD WAR.
1 1 11 ■' 1 ■ *
The rail roads are about to
go to war again and cutting of
rates is the order of the dav.
The patch-work compromise
made some time ago has failed
to hold. One road charges the
other with violating its contract
and cuts under.
The fight is reported to he on
between the Southern and Sea
hoard. The Louisville A Nash
ville and Georgia Central are
said to he in- the war.
So close is the competition
between these lines that each
one is watching the other with
vigilance.
This will he a bonanza to the
guano manufacturers as they
can ship their goods st a lower
rates.
NEWSPAPER WAR.
The Atlanta Evening .Journal
and Evening Constitution have
been having a cat and dog time
of it since the Baby started.
The feeling has grown so hitter
that the war is carried on in
their columns.
This is a specimen of their
compliments. The Constitu
tion says of the Journal: “It.
is failing and falsifying, a dirty
paper, a forger and a liar.’"

The Journal show's its teeth
and says: “The Constitution
is a liar, coward, slanderer and
a paper without character.”
That is salty talk and “fore

sidered an invitation for pistols
and codec.

The U. S. Senate has adopted
resolutions of sympathy with
the Cretans. Would it not
look much better if this august
body had done something to
stop the slaughter and cruelty
in Cuba. It is very nice to
adopt high sounding buncombe
about the little island of Crete,
when here, almost within sight
of our shores, a brave people
fighting for liberty and to free
themselves from despotic rule,
are given no aid by our govern
ment.
Mr. Cleveland has only a
week or two more to serve, and
probably the new administra
tion may adopt a policy more
in accord with American senti
ment.
SUCH IS FAME.
Gen’l. Alfred l'lesanton,
one of the most distinguished
cavalry officers of the late war,
and an old Mexican soldier,
died recently in Washington.
He drew a pension from the
government but had only an
old Aunty to wait on him in
his last hours. This shows the
ungratefulness ol republics.

DEATH OF COL. TATE.
Col. W. M. Tate, of Jasper,

Carter Tate, died suddenly last
Wednesday morning. He had
not been sick and slept well
during the night. When heat

few minutes.
STATE LIBRARIAN.
The last Legislature'passed a

the office of State Librarian,
There is a pretty lively contest
between Miss Dortch who has
been assistant librarian for two
years and Capt. John Milledgn.
The place pays a year.
