(Stephens and Bacon are in the city, and have headquarters at the Kimball house. The delegates are arriving rapidly. To-mor row's convention will be one of the most no table ever held in the state. under the old apportionment will insist on their full vote, while those winning the in creased vote under the new will also claim it. It is probable that the convention will allow each county to cast the full vote claimed dv it Of these 35G votes we figure that 221 will vote for Mr. Stephens. There are. chances that he will get others, and it is not impos sible that he will open with two-thirds. We hear that he will get flart of the votesof Mus cogee county—we believe that he will get part,’at least, of Putnam, Clinch and Pierce and other counties It is said lie is good for three votes front Harris, and we give him two of these votes on authority that we consider good. It is claimed that lie will get part of Catoosa's vote, and he will doubtless carry Henry to morrow. There are probabili ties in sight that reach to a two-thirds vote. We do not believe he will lose a vote we have given him except possibly tlie Wilkin son codnty votes It is claimed that he will lose one vote in Campbell, though we do not believe it. Such, in short, is our last review of tlte field just before the fight opens. It does not appear probable that any other names than Mr. Stephens and Major Bacon will be balloted on. As to the rule, a majority of the delegates, or 175 votes, are instructed, or reported to us as outspoken fortlie abolition of the two-thirds rule. To these may he added certainly the 6 votes of Fulton, winch alone makes a majori ty of the convention and sets up the rule. Of course there are other votes to be heard from, and it is possible that the-vote for the majori ty rule may reach 200 votes. An Epidemic ofbufcldes. Lancaster, Pa., July 14.—Mrs. J. F. Showers, o Reamslown. this county, committed suicide last night by drowuiug herself in Cocalico creek while laboring uuder an attack of melancholy. Philadelphia. July 14.—Jacob Newgarten. sixty years old. committed suicide at noon to-day by hanging himself to the bedpost at bis residence on South Fifth street. * On Tuesday morning at 4 o’clock, Admiral Seymour, commanding the British fleet off Alexandria, ordered the bombardment of the city. The firing continued for two days. The Egyptians put up a flag of truce, and during the cessation of hostilities thus gained, es caped into the country. Before leaving, how- «i-er, a frightful massacre of Christians took place, and tt^e city was given over to fire and plunder. The forts were all ruined. The ma- rines'landed and took possession of the city.' The Khedive is under English protection. The adherents of Arabi Bey will resist every foot of ground.

They replied that Fort Marabout had already been evacuated, but that they could not give aoy definite auswer in regard to Mex fort. Finding that no agreement waa likfclv and being unwilling to waste further time’ Lieu tenant Lambton left. THE EFFECT OBSERVED. The military governor conducted the conversation. He was in command during the action yesterday. He admitted that the troops had sufl'ered heavy losses. Lieutenant Lambton informed him that should he agree to the terms, the troops would be allowed to evacuate the forts with their rifles and all the honors of war, but unless these terms were complied with no negotiations could be en- lerea upon. As the Bittern steamed out, the Egyptians hauled down the flag of truce. The bombardment had evidently produced a great moral effect upon the military officers with whom Lieutenant Lambton conversed. Easton, Pa., July 14.—Mrs. Lizzie Ruhr, aged forty, committed suicide at Belvldere, New J. rsey. last evening by drowning lierrelf in a cistern at her residence. Scranton. July 14.—William Merzo, a German who has been missing since the 24th of June last, was found yesterday by a boy hanging to a tree at Greenville. It is supposed that the man commuted suicide. • Naw York, Jnly 14.—John Blasius, a German shoemaker, sixty-two years of age, committed suicide this afternoon at his residence In Leonard street by swallowing a large dose of oxalic acid. Effect, of the Heat. New York. July 11.—There were reported up to noon to day nine deaths of young children from the excessive heat. Seven- cases of sunstroke were re- ported’up to the same hour. The death-rate took a sudden jump upward to-day. The number of deaths reported at the bureau of vital statistics for the twenty-four hours ending at noon retched 179, and of these 58 were ,the cases of infants under five .years. Three additional cases of sunstroke were re ported tills afternoon. Later.—Kiih". additional eases of prostration by the heat have been reported. In accordance with the annual custom, forty-seven of the fifty sanitary inspectors have oecn appointed by the board of health to visit and prescribe for the poor in the tenement district, distributing aiso free excursion tickets to those who need them. New York. July 11 —Two .deaths and five pros trations uy tlie host are added to the list this evening. The Mormon Wap Claim* and Lapsed Greats. Washington, July 13.—The house committee on the judiciary to-day directed Representative Pay- son. of llinois, to report to the house adversely the Mormon war claims, which have been pending be fore congress since 1859. The amount involved in the claims aggregates about $180,000. Home action had been expected in connection with the lapsed grant railroads but the subject was not discussed. The committee having already reported upon all roads whose grants they believe should be declared forfeited, the only question now before them is whether the matter of policy should be considered in connection with the legal questions involved in the grants to some roads whien have already been reported upon by the comm ttee. As they will hold but one or two more meetings this session it is hardly probable that any further action will be aken. The English Mrn-of. Wnr Which Are Lying Before Alexandria—Formidable Craft. Alexandria, July 12.—The most important of the English vessels, with their armament— that is, their fighting gun batteries—are as follows, the name being followed by the num ber of guns aid their weight in tons: » Hector, 18, h%: Valiant, 18,6)5: Defense, 18, 6%-.

THE HEAVIEST OF THE GUNS weigh over 1C0.000 pounds, are thirty-two feet eight incites in length.and with a 1,700-pound projectile driven by 370 pounds of powder, at a velocity of 1,520 feet a second (this is at the rate of over a mile in four seconds), pro duce an energy equal tc the effect of 27,213 tons of metal falling from a distance of one foot upon any object. The smallest of these guns will drive a bolt through seven inches of iron at 500 yards’ distance, and tlie largest will put their shot, under the same condi tions, through twenty seven inches of iron, England can bring to bear upon tlie fortifica tions of Alexandria 224 heavy guns, 106 of these being of the 034-ton class. 05 of the 12-ton, 39 of the 18 ton, 10 of the 25-ton, and 4 of the 80 ton. Thirty 12-ton guns could in ten minutes pourinto the city 50tonsof metal, which would develop a total energy of G90.000 foot tons at a distance of 4,000 yards; 20 18-ton guns could, in the same time, throw 36 tons of metal with an energy of 454,700 foot toils. At tlie muzzle these shot would go through 14J4 inches of armor, at 1,000 yards through 12)4 inches, and at 2,000 yards through 1134 inches. AMERICAN GUNS. On this same port of Alexandria we have two American ships, the Lancaster and the Quinnebaug.both wooden and of good cruising type for time of peace. The battery of the former, and it is the best we have afloat, is made of old-fashioned 11-inch smooth-bore Daldgrens, converted on the Pal User sv n into 8 inch rifles with twenty live pou’n powder, sometimes with thirty-live poun though this charge is considered excessive, these can throw shots weighing 180. pounds^ which, under the best condition*, develop an energy of 2,627 foot ton’s.

The Matsarre in Alexandria—Flchtlns Their Way to * the Beach. Special Dispatch to The Constitution. London, July 13.—The correspondent of the {Standard on board the Invincible telegraphs us follows: “Off' Alexandria, 13th, 1 p.m.— A’ter daybreak this morning a number of persons were seen on the edge of the water of the harbor. Glasses showed them to be Europeans. Boats were at once lowered and crew's armed to the teeth started for tlie shore. They found about 100Europeans,many of them wounded, who had gathered iu the Anglo- Egyptian bank, and had resisted desperately, i’tiey had maintained themselves there hrougliout the night. Toward Uaylighttheir assailants drew off and the party made their way to the shore. They reported that Arabi Pasha, before he left with his troops, tad the prisons opened and that the convicts, joined by the lower classes, nd some Bedouins, proceeded to sack the ity and kill every Christian they could find, ltd set the European quarters ou fire. From he part they were defending the Europeans - ould hear the shrieks and cries and reports.of i'.istols and guns. Scores of fugitives were ut down or ' beaten to death in their ight. The European quarter is all iu dames and the great square is a mass of smok ing ruins. All the public buildings are de stroyed, and nothing European seems to have escaped the rage of the fanatics. Several shells have been fired within the last two hours into that portion of the city where the conflagration broke out in the hopes that they may scare the pillagers. That many pillagers re main is evident by the fact that several fresh tires have broken out in the last three hours. .Y British gunboat is lying close to Uamlcti. \vo iron cluds ore cruising near and will fire i.pon any men approaching the palace. An of- .ii-er just returned from tlie Chiltern reports the scenes of carnage on sitore as appalling. The town for some hours after the troops left, -.vas a veritable pandemonium. There is a . dspicion that the forts are undermined, and t hey will be carefully examined before any large bodiesof troops areallowed to enter them. Aboukir is as yet untouched. A thousand men are known to be entrenched there. No reconuoissance have yet been made of the dosetta and Damietta forts. The fugitives say that tlie losses of the Egyptian artillery men during the first days bombardment were very serious. The infantry did not suffer.. ' tfrj AMERICANS IN ALEXANDRIA. How a by the The Heaviest lintln in America. Leadville, Col., July 12.—James II. Madden, a gambler, who died here the other day. had the largest brain of any man in America. Dr. McDean, who attended the deceased during his illne‘s.stated that he had a very remarkably formed head, it whs about the average size, with an immense frontal and lateral development. After death the doctor examined the head, ami when the brain was re moved and weighed it brought down the scales to 62)4 ounces. This is the heaviest brain ever found in America. Daniel YVeoster's brain weighed 53)4 ounces and Professor Agassiz's 52)4 ounces. Klopment* In Iowa. Des Moines, Iowa, July 14—X B Ilartwe'l. a phy- siciau of this city, returned home to-day, aftei a week’s absence, to tied that his wife had eloped with William Osborne, a friend of the family. She took her little daughter uud the household goods. With them was another couple of elope:*. Miss Dana, niece of Judge Napier, and Edward Nor man.

They were then weighed, when it was found that their aggregate weight was l.aOS pounds. They claim to be the heaviest family of six in the state. Sharp Cannonade Wan Stopped Egyptians. London, July 12.—The Daily News’ dispatch from off Alexandria says: “Before the bombardment recoin ntenced, Admiral Seymour sent the Bittern, under a flag of truce, to demand the surren der of tlie forts for tlie purpose of avoiding further bombardment, but without result. All reports confirm tlie previous statements us to the manner in which the Egyptians handled their guns until they were fairly blown from the batteries by the explosion of shells. The Monarch tired two hun dred heavy shells and six thousand pounds of shot from. the machine guns. There was some splendid sci entific firing. and the official reports of the first practical trial of modern fighting ships will be records of tlie utmost value. Some houses in Fort Mex, apparently of concrete, withstand the fire of the heaviest guns of tlie Monarch. A correspondent of the Standard telegraphs from on board the Invincible, at 8 o’clock a. m. yesterday, that tlie admiral summoned tlie captains of the fleet to a con sultation. The result of the deliberation was a decision tliat the sea was too heavy for seri ous operation. The rolling of the ironclads would unsettle their aim and the town might suffer severely from shutflying too high. Ad miral Seymour, therefore, delayed their in tended attack on the Morabant forts, but directed the Temariere and the Inflexible to watch the Raseltin and Ada forts. A SIGHT OF ARABI At half-past ten the Temariere signalled that parties of soldiers were at work at the hospital battery near Fort Ada. Two iron clads opened fire. Only six rounds of shot and shrapnel were fired. AW took effect, the practice being excellent. The troops engaged upon the work at once abandoned it, and the firing ceased. The white flag was hoisted at the lighthouse. The Bittern was sent inside to inquire as to the intentions of the govern ment. After she had steamed off the Tem ariere made the following signal: “The body of men we saw working on the hospital bat tery dispersed after our last shrapnel was fired. They took refuge in tlie casemates close by. We saw about. 100 men armed with rifles running toward tlie light house fort. They carried bags. We saw also an Egyptian general, apparently Arabi Pasha, surrounded t>v liis staff.'' Two eighteen-ton guns on the Alexandria were disabled, the shot having passed through the port holes. THE DECOY FLAG. -Old Ira Fletcher." Providence. R. I., July 12.—A middle-aged man seated himself upon the Methodist church steps at East Greenwich to-night, and. drawing a revolver, said: "Here is the last of old Ira Fletcher.” As he said this he placed the pistol to his left breast and fired, living only twenty minutes. The Fatal T.j l-l.tol. Boston. July 13.—Two boys died here on Tuesday night from lockjaw, caused by wounds from a toy piatol on July 4th, and another is dangerously ill. One died in Gloucester last night and three iu Low ell yesterday, all from the same cause. Death af Bishop Scott. Wilmington, BeL, July 13.—Bishop Levi Scott, _ ... , , ...... *enior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church Our prediction after tlie campaign had fairly died at his home, near Odessa his morning at 9:35 shaped itself, and before tbe counties bad o'clock. at Secretary Frellnshuynen has to Say of Their Safety lroiu Violence. Special Dispatch to The Constitution. Washington, July 12.—Secretary Freling- huyseti says, in answer to inquiries as to the safely of our officials and countrymen at A1 exandria, that we have no consul in that city, but that the vice consul, is a resident of posi tion, being a rich Israelite; thgt one of the members of tbe court at Alexandria, Judge Bacheller, is in this country on leave, and he understands that the other two American judges have gone into tlie country. About a month ago one vessel from the Mediter ranean squadron was sent to Alexandria for tbe protection of American residents, and as tlie danger increased two other ships were sent thither from the same squadron. About' ten days since, inquiry haviug been made by tlie American board of foreign missions. Sec retary Frelinghuysen telegraphed to the vice- consul. asking as to the safety of the mission aries. He received an answer to the effect that they were aii either on our vessels or had gone into the interior. He trusts, therefore, that the American residents at Alexandria have suffered uo harm. THE KHEDIVE’S COOLNESS. Lieutenant Lambton Goes Ashore to Find Illmoelt the Victim of a Itnse. Alexandria, July 13.—At three o’clock the Bittern was seen st-auiing out of the harbor. As she came out she signalled: “Negotiations have failed.. I have accordingly informed the authorities on sitore that you will engage the batteries at half-past three.” From this it seemed as if the officer and staff observed in the hospital battery, finding themselves in a dangerous position'and una ble to escape, had simply hoisted tlie flog of truce in order to get off the fire. There was great indignation expressed that five hours should have been wasted in an abortive nego tiation. while meantime the swell had in creased so much that the fire from the ves sels, if hostilities were resumed, would be in effective. LAMBTON’S REPORT.- At half-past three the Bittern arrived at the outside. Lieutenant Lambton reported that the evident object of the hoisting of tlie flag of truce was to gain lime. When the Bittern went in large bodies -of troops were evacua ting tbe barracks behind tbe forts, going out in full marching order. THE PARLEY- ON SHORE. General Stone Confirms the Itepert ot Arabl'a Order to Kill Tewfik. London, July 15.—The News correspondent at Alexandria telegraphs that the khedh e’s coolness and courage never left him during the crisis. Tlie sailors have arrested the fur ther progress of tlie flames at tlie harem pal ace. Tlie diplomatists are trying to estab lish with the khedive the semblance of a ministry. The people cannot understand why tlie Americans, who cati only muster a handful of marines, are invited to land men. An' officer on shore has sent word to the ships that a hundred refugees on Marino are clamoring for food. Biscuit is being sent them. Daily Telegraph has the following: Alexandria, July 14,7 p. m.—All the Arabs are carrying white handkerchiefs on sticks, and showing great anxiety to be thought friendly. I found General Stone with the khedive. The general confirmed the report that Arabi Pasha ordered the mur der of the khedive and added that Arabi bad ordered tlie sacking of the town before quit ting it. The Americans have landed 60 ma rines under command of Captain Cochrane. There are still some Egyptian police helping to maintain order. The entrance to“ Ras-El-Tin palace lias been entirely destroyed. The court-yard and bar racks are full of arms and acoutrements. Tlie base of the light house is badly dam aged. A European municipal official in formed me that Arabi Pasha ordered the fir ing of the town. The soldiers were the first to begin the plunder. Desertion from Ara- bi’s army is rife. Reuter’s telegram com pany has received the following dispatch from Alexandria; The sailors now occupy all the gates. They have been ordered to disarm all soldiers and to shoot looters. The populace are being encouraged to return to their homes. The Penelope has sailed for Isuiaila. A correspondent oi the Times telegraphs from Alexandria at noon I went ashore to-day. All evidences prove the truth of the report'that the Kgyptiau gunners were directed by French and Italian artillerists. The Times’ correspondent on the Condor, off Alexandria, says that women were seen firing bouses with petroleum. Admiral Seymour telegraphed, at 11 o'clock last night, that the fire in Alexandria is not spreading, and nearly all the looting had stopped. A force of Germans have landed to protect the hospital, an-i a party of Americans to establish the con sulate. The ironclad Minotour has arrived. A dispatch to the Manchester Guardian from Alexandria says the bombarding of Tuesday almost exterminated the Egyptian corps of artillerymen, which was the best branch of the army. Special Dispatch to The Constitution. Athens, July 15.—Mr. Charles McDonald Brown, son of Senator Brown, a most prom ising young man, died nearly a year ago. Senator Brown has made a donation to the university of $50,000, to be known as the Charles McDonald Brown scholarship fund, being money that his said son would have in herited from his father’s estate if he had lived. The donation is on condition that the legislature, at its next session, pass an act agreeing to receive the $50,000 cash into the treasury of phe state for the use of the state; and issuing to the university a bond for $50,000, payable fifty years after date with interest at” per cent, pavaoie semi annually. This Yvould yield an income of $3,500 per annum. $2,500 ot this sum is to be loaned to poor but promising young men; not able to educate themselves; who pursue their studies in any of the branches of the university of Athens, or in the medical de partment of the university at Augusta. Not more than $200 per annum is to be loaned to any student. As the university charges no tuition, with proper economy this will supply what is needed by each. The re cipients are to be selected under such rules as tlie board of trustees of the university shall from time to time establish. The se lections are to be made as impartially as pos sible from different portions of the state so that each section will be represented. HOW THE MONEY IS TO BE PAID BACK. Each student, as soon as he has made the money, in addition to an economical living, after the completion of his course of study, is to pay back to the university tlie umount, with 4 per cent interest. These payments, as they are made from time to time, are to be added to tbe principal of $50,000, which in a few years will cause an accumulation that will in the end make the principal sum a very large one. The interest only is to be used as the sum accumulates. One thousand dollars per annum of the interest on tlie principal sum donated is to be loaned to students of the North Georgia agricultural college at Dahlonega upon the same terms as are prescribed in tlie case of students at Athens. Tlie cost of living being cheaper at Dahlonega only one hundred and fifty dollars are to be loaned to any student. Tlie money is to be advanced to them monthly as they need it; the interest commencing in such case at the end of the year. REMEMBERING EARLY- FRtENDS. The students getting tlie benefits utDahlon- ega are to be selected under regulations made by the board of trustees from the mountain counties of northeast Georgia and the coun ties of Pickens, Oconee and Anderson, 8. C. embracing the counties of Senator Brown': birtli and boyhood, and the county of Ander- son., where.the first money was loaned him to aid in his eduction. Tne mountain coun ties have the same rights as any other section of Georgia to participate in tne fund at Athens, and the one thousand dollars a year at Dahlonega is in addition to that. The money paid back by the students at Dahlonega from year to year is to be added to' the principal, thus still more accumulating the principal for that point. In the case of young men studying for the ministry, in any of the churches, only one-half tlie amount is to be paid back, with interest at 4 per cent, RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE FAMILY'. Senator Brown reserves to his four sons, Julius L. Brown, Joseph M. Brown. Elijah A. Brown, and George M. Brown, each, the right to select one student to be the recipient of loans under tlie act With a selection of a successor of such students; so that each dur ing his life time may keep one student con stantly in college. In case of a relation as near as the fourth degree, tbe son may in his discretion relieve the student selected by him from repayment of the fund. The senator reserves to his four sons and the survivors of them the right of visitation to see that the trust is properly administered, and in the event of a substantial violation of it tlie right to bring suit to recover back all money; but this is not to be done on account of anytechnical or immaterial Violation; and tbe survivor of his four sons has, if he chooses, the power to appoint a visitor by his will to look still further after the proper administra tion of the trust. THE TRUST ACCEPTED. Tlie board of trustees unanimously accepted tlie trust, upon the terms mentioned, and Senator Brown gave his obligation to pay tiie $50,000 in cash into the treasury of tlietstate as soon as the legislature, at its next session, passes the act to accept the fund for tlie bene fit of the university. and give the obligation of the state for its payment at the end of fifty years with seven per cent interest. This is the same provision with the act of the last legislature 'applies to the maturing bonds of the state belonging tb the university, in such case the governor is required to give the university in lien of the matured bond a fifty year’s seven per cent bond of tlie state. Senator Brown was ready to give his check for the fifty thousand dollars at present if there had been a. law of tlie state authorizing tlie amount to be received at the treasury of the state on the same terms that the niatur ing bonds of the present endowment of the state are to be received, but as there is no such act lie makes the donation conditional ontflie passage of an act by the next legislature to place tlie fund he donates uf on the same footing of security with the funds now be longing to th<»university. It is not doubted that file legislature will do this promptly. This is tlie largest donation ever made to the university by any one. As some young men will only need partial aid, it is supposed the annual income will keep about 30 youngmen at college not now able to educate themselves, and as the fund accumulates by repament by students who have had a loan, it will iu future maintain a much larger number. C. H. Bishop Warren Speaks Most Enthusiastically of the Wonderful Pragma Here. Cincinnati, July 15.—Bishop Warren, of the Methodist church, whose episcopal resi dence is in Atlanta, is in Cincinnati for a day or two. To a reporter he said that there was a great future for the southern states. Northern capital is pouring in, and the people are becoming inspired with northern enterprise toadegree surprising to those acquainted with tlie south before thq war. The wheat crop was phenominally large tiiis year, and the cotton crop, though 20 days behind, will he above the average. The extension of southern railroads was commented upon by tlie bishop. Good effects are also apparent, he says, from the development of the mines and tlie opening up of markets for southern products. The devastation by the spring l ioods has made the abundant crops o f tiiis year all the more fortunate for the people. All tlie south needs, the bishop says, is a con tinuance of tlte present spirit of investment and local improvements und for helping on the cause of education. The building of pikes rind railroads is having a wonderful effect. The church, lie' says, is accomplishing a great work for the freedmen, spending thousands of dollars annually for their edu cation alone. The ministers had no proposals. Lieuten ant Lambton informed them that he had BLAST AND LIGHTNING. A Kutldlnjr Fired by Lightning Hunts Up Sever* Men—Killed In a Mine* Little Rock. July 13.—A special from Tex arkana has tlie following details of the storm yesterday: The storm began about 6:30 in the evening with heavy wind, rain and lightning. At about 7 p. m. Grics’s new building, a large three-story brick almost completed, wasstruck by lightning and fell in a mass on the top of the franie building known as tlie Paragon saloon, burying every thing beneath , the ruins. It was raining in torrents at tlie time, and there were heavy showers until' about 10 o’clock. The lamps in tlie Paragon set fire to the ruins from underneath. Every man and water- bucket in town was brought into use. and wa ter was thrown on the fire, but it finally broke out beyond all control and burned two franie buildings next to ■ he. Paragon. It is impossible to give the exact number burned in Jthe ruins. Two or three difierent parties who came out of the Paragon only a few mo ments before the accident, say there were at least thirty men in the building. The re mains of Mayfield, one of tlie proprietors, and another man and a boy, have been taken out of the ruins. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 13.—On the Westboro railroad, near Milton this after noon, a premature explosion of a blast oc curred while a party of 28 workmen were in close proximity to the hole. Two kegs of powder were in the rock. Eighteen of the workingmen are safe, five are dead, two are missing, supposed to be burned in the debris, und three are badly injured. Several of the dead and injured are Italians, known only by numbers, and were unable to speak Eng lish. St. Louis, July 13.—A special from Texar kana, Arkansas, says eight corpses have been recovered from the buildings wrecked by tho cyclone. Colonel Wayfield, Ferd Smith, Johnnie Way, and the other.; names are not learned. More are wounded seriously, and will probably die. Great crowds of excited persons are around. There are only seven or eight more bodies in the ruins. Providence. R. I., Juiy 13.—Cotton yarn mill of John L.

New York, July 15.—A Times New Or leans special says: The Picayune this morn ing reproduces a series offletters from Secreta ry Turner, of the national board of health; Dr. Mitchell, the Memphis member, to Dr. Bemiss, the New Orleans member, to show that a conspiracy had existed to proclaim the existence of yellow fever in Louisiana in or der to convince the country of the usefulness of the national board. The letters are of such an extraordinary character that the question of their genuineness lias been raised, but the Picayune offers to exhibit photographic copies of the original if re quired. I)R. TURNER’S PROFESSED IGNORANCE. Washington, July 15—Dr. Turner, secre tary of the national board of health, had his attention called to the dispatch from New Orleans, which states that a series of letters had been published there from himself and Dr. Mitchell, of Memphis, to Dr. Bemiss, of Two Person* Drowned.

Dr. Turner denied those he loves best with himT IIow the Atlanta Colon j I* Proving IUelf Compeoed of Good Citizens. Is the Russian Jew a desirable citizen?” is a question that has been frequently asked since their advent into America. Less than one yeaT ago the first of Atlanta's Russian Jews arrived in Atlanta. In every instance they were illy provided with the wherewith of life, and really were dependent upon charity for a support. But, notwith standing their want of money and the fact that they were in a strange land in tlie midst of strangers whose language was unintelligi ble to them, they, without a known excep tion, went to work with a will that soon won for them the respect of Atlanta people. Since their beginning in Atlanta, they have not only shown a disposition to work, but a desire and intent to accumulate wealth. One of the number who reached tlie city with four dollars and twenty-five cents has within a year earned the means to purchase two comfortable houses and lots, tbe com bined value of which is about $1,300. An other one, William Weiss, who runs a con fectionery store on_ Broad street, reached At lanta last October without a dozen dollars he could call his own. His family was away from him, and witii a heart, buried in their midst he went to work with a feeling of con fidence in his success which soon crowned him with victory. To-day his family is with him and he is well enough fixed to enjoy life. Isadore Blau, a carpenter, another one of the number, reached Atlanta in December. There were five persons in his family and each one went to work with energy. Now they have a nice home on Fort street, and are still toiling six days in each week. as artist’s luck. _ Mr. Robert Pause, an artist, came to this city about eight months ago, and by strictat- tention to bis business has secured a good living. He is thoroughly acquainted with his trade, and although not so much money in pocket as ethers have is on tbe road to suc cess. Hirsch Bino is a tailor at Max Marcus’s on Peachtree street. He came to Atlanta nine months ago and went to work. He had noth ing at all then. Now he has his house which, however, is a rented place—comfortably fur nished, and has a little over two hundred dol lars ahead. In addition to tnis he has equipp-- ed an eighteen-year-old son with a petidling outfit, and by industriously canvassing the county this lad is daily adding to the nest egg of wealth which is secreted in the father’s bouse. Then a fitteen-year-old son is daily- plying tbe needle AT A1S FATHER’S FIDE, and each stitch enhances theic bank account. When they left their native laud, they left behind a son who wears the uniform and who carries the musket, and for the purposeof pur chasing his discharge they are now hoarding their earnings. At Hirsch Bros., the Whitehall clothiers, there are four of the race. Two of them de serve mention.' Like all Russian Jews, they came to America “dead broke;” but to-day they are “heeled.” John Bartlett, who lias a wife and two children, has supplied their wants, furnished a bouse and saved nearly $500 since October last. L. Grutkorsky lias been working and sending money to his family, who are at the native home. He has a few dollars ahead, and hopes soon to have
