Jones with j his cane as the latter was bidding I adieu to his friends at the depot. After receiving a few licks Jones succeeded in wrenching the stick from Word, and proceeded to ad¬ minister the same with such vio¬ lence that his antagonist soon did not know what hurt Lira. After Word was completely slushed, Jones turned and said to those near by that he always did despise a coward. Rev. Junes dictated tho follow¬ ing telegram to some friends in Georgia: The ono-gallus maj T or of Palis tiue tried to cane your Uncle Jones this morning at the depot. I wrenched tho ca:io from him and wore him out. I am a little disfigured, but still in tho ring. I criticized his official career last November. It needed criticizing. Ham P. Jones.

Tne Atlanta Journal is now printed on two twin lightning presses, whose sombiued speed is 24,000 eight-page papers per hour, and 90,000 two-page supplements per hour. The success of the Journal is something wonderful, It now boast of tho largest daily circula¬ tion, nearly 15,000. Throe years ago it had but little over 3,000. We congratulate the Journaljon its past success, and wish it much more. The Outlaws Gave. Considerable oxcitomont is caused in the vicinity of Le Seur, Minn., by the discovery of a cavo in which it is believed tho James and Younger band of outlaws had their headquarters while planning the famous Northfield Bank rob¬ bery in 1876. The story goes that the cave has three apartments. The first is only a sort of ante¬ room; back of this is a room 16 by 30 feet, and it contains bunks for thirty persons. Htiil back of this was a stable, with hitching posts and troughs for 30 lio.ses. A cooking stove and other furniture were found, and a skull and other bones of a human body showed that a man had died in tho cave, It was fortiess in which a few men with urms and supplies could defy an army indefinitely. A let ter wats found in tho cavo, appar¬ ently written by Frank James to Jim Youugor. J. D. Carter of Birmingham, Ala., who killed Rube Burrows, the outlaw anl train robber, has received $1,000 of the $2,500 of¬ fered by the railroad and express companies. for life Carter is a cripple from wounds received during the fight. Wash inuton Letter. iFrom Our Regular Correspondent) Washington, D. C. Jan. 30, Mr. Harrison dies hard, very hard. Senator Hoar and his rad ical colleagues recognize that Mr last defeat meant the disposition of the Force Lill, and they have accepted the with the ^ grace possible though it is far from satisfactory to them. Not so with Mr. Harn son. He is so wedded to the idea of Federal interference in South ern elections and its consequent benefit to him and his party that lie refuses to believe the Force bm dead> and bas begun 8C hem . {or auot h er attempt to rush it through the Senate. He is strong¬ ly seconded by Speaker lieed and the House republicans gene rally, bnt tho idea has so far been cold ly received by the Senators whose recollection of the two square knock-downs they have already received while battling- for this unpopular and unjust bill makes them shy of again entering the ring against tho intelligent public opinion of the country. Still thore is no telling what these republicans may do. It is certain that if they saw their way clear to pass the bill that they would again take it up. Their de¬ sire is as strong for the passage of tho bill as it ever was, but it is the dread of another defeat that makes them hesitate. Democratic ators are fully aware that all dan¬ ger from this bill will not be pas¬ sed until the close of tho session and they wilt see to it that the re¬ publicans get no chance to catch them napuing. That the democrats are always ready to aid in the transaction of legitimate business was shown when Senator Gorman notified the repuDlican steering committee that the democrats were prepared to agree to any order of business which did not include the cloture rule or Force bill. The pro¬ gramme as arranged provides for tho consideration of the following bills, after the Apportionment bil is disposed of; eight Hour bill, Copyright, Pure-food* and the job of the session, the bill to guar¬ antee the payment of $200,000,000 in bonds of the Nicarauga Caual company. It is certainly a sus¬ picious circumstance that this bill for the exclusive benefit of a cor¬ poration should have been given a place in the order of business when dozens of bills important to the country at largo were left out. Some music ought to be heard when this bill gets before the Sen ato, and will be, unless I am very much mistakon. Tho defeat of Senator Ingalls did not raise a cyclone of grief at the Capitol. Unless the republicans attempt some of their tricks it is believed that all of the appropriation bills can be disposed of by the 4th of March, and an extra session avoided. Chairman Dingley, of the House committee now investiga ting the silver pool scandal, is charged with having imitated, in a conversation with Mr. Payne, a member of tho committee, that Senator Vest would never have been allowed to testify if he had known that he would “give away Senator Cameron, This charge is not made by a democrat but by a good republican, Gen. H. Y. ^°> uton - Mr. Diugiey denies it, and Gen. Boynton says W. B. Stephens heard the conversation in question. Its a nice mess, a republican mess, all through, and before the committee finishes its labors it will be in need of being investigated. The arguments in the Bjhring ® ea case were heard by the Su pre*ie Court this week. They contained nothing new on eithe tbanks to the enterprise of our newspapers in having told us | two weeks ago what l>oni s ca side would try to make. ; r l he anti-silver men have open ed their campaign against free j coinage by bringing a lot of east ern bankers here to tell tne House , Coinage commit.ee what a dan- ; gerous thing bee c.om^e • i Anotaer dodge ot the antis, is to , amend the free coinage bill so as ; to make it conform to the views of the President. Both schemes | are meant to accomplish the same j thing—delay, and that s how it 1 will be beaten, if it is beaten. The i j committee will delay reporting it i | back to the House as long as pos¬ sible, and after it is reported Speaker Heed will delay its con¬ sideration if be can, and between all these delays the time will have become too short to pass the bill at this session. See? Great scheme isn’t it? Not very rial though. Mr. Blaine isn’t saying any thing about the Force bill, but he has had an kind of an I-told-you so look ever since Mr. was knocked out at the same time his pet measure was. Pronounoed Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd of Groton, S. D., we quote: "Was taken with bad cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above.
