Anyone having an item of personal mention or news h *ppening, will confer a favor by handing It te one of The Capitol staff, of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet. Second Edition. Our church reports are lip to their usual standard and variety to-day. Read them. Judge Simmons has withdrawn from the Gebernatorial race. 11l health is the cause assigned. This leaves the race to Bacon and Gordon. “Olb Limerick” is as familiar a name ts the city as is the police court, and, with a view to gratifying the curiosity of a large portion of our people as to how he looks, we have at great ex pense secured his picture, had it engraved and present it to-day with a short, concise history of his eventful life. The many friends'of The Capitol are deter mined that its staff shall enjoy the good things of this life. The business manager has been snowed under with fruit and laden with flowers, and now the city editor is made the recipient of a basket of strawberries from Mr. E. F. Done hoo, No. 9 Alabama street. Mr. Donehoo has been handling some of the finest lots of thisde licious fruit ever seen in Atlanta. The Capi tol deeply appreciates such kind remem brances. ________ It has been said that the members of the fire department have no chance of attending divine worship on the Sabbath. This is certainly wrong. Right here it may be suggested that the fire department should have two watches, like the police department. The men would then have a chance to stay with their families and attend their church at least two Sundays in the month. The Law Should, be Repealed* The city council will have to take some notice of the injustice that is being done the newsboys of Atlanta. A long time ago an ordinance was passed prohibiting the boys from crying out their papers on the streets. Such a law was not the outcome of metropolitan views, and was probably given birth by some disgruntled citi zens of over-sensitive nerves and delicate ear drum. These persons must have been cured of their maladies since the ice cream venders are allow ed to yell at the top of their voices. On Satur day night last, between the hours of eight and ten o’clock, Whitehall street sounded like a bed lam. The Capitol is not opposed to the ice cream venders using their lungs to carry on their busi ness, but it insists on the city council repealing the law against the newsboys. With this ob ject in view, the Capitol will present a petition at the next meeting of the general council. Mr. Purcell at Outs. Now the manager of the Atlanta Baseball Club is mad. He is setting up a terrific howl. The cause is because the Capitol of last Sat urday had the fearlessness and pluck to stand up and criticise his management openly. Truth is,Mr. Purcell,the captain and manager, has been petted and praised by the press, in cluding very liberal doses from the Capitol, until he has thought himself above criticism. But when a man gets that high its high time for him to step down. Mr. Purcell is simply the manager of the At lanta Baseball Club and not of Atlanta. He is showing very bad taste and very bad temper to get mad at us because we stated what .we thought in these two lines: “The baseball boys are falling out. What the Atlanta club needs is a competent manager.” These remarks were simply the outspeaking of a long-felt opinion of Atlantians on the sub ject. We are not alone in our opinion; far from that. In fact we found that nine out of ten Atlantians are of the same and even worse opinion. Purcell can play good ball. He has played good ball, and is a valuable member of the club, but as a manager he is a perfect failure. When our reporter went to him Saturday, at the instance of the editor, to get some informa tion, he received at Mr. Purcell’s hands the most discourteous and disrespectful treatment possi ble. With oaths profuse, he “ would not even talk with The Capitol.” We sent one of our most gentlemanly report ers, hence we are certain he could have given Mr. Purcell no cause for his language or treat ment. Again the reporter saw him by order, and hoping that he had recovered from bis swearing humor and pet of Saturday, sought to talk with him. “No, I de not want a— thing to do with The Capitol—” “It is a rotten concern and I will do all I can against it.” : Now, don’t do that, Mr. Purcell. Please don’t withdraw something that we never had —your great influence. As to the rotten part, we suggest that possi bly he has not struck the right cause. We state it right here and that most posi tively that as to an opinion when we have one on this or any other subject we shall ex press it and we believe that Mr. Purcell can find much better business than quarreling with a paper which has been, and is to-day, bis avowed friend, and which openly expresses an opinion on a matter which, if allowed to con inue, will effectually cripple the team. Atlanta i n I o I. TELEGRAPHIC Agricultural New*. Associated Press to Capitol. Washington, Muy 10.—The May report of Agriculture indicates an improvement in wheat during April of two points with a general aver age of condition at 95. There is no marked change anywhere, but a slight advance is noted in the Ohio Valley, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland. The May average last year was 70. The season has been favorable and crop more advanced than usual. , The averages in the principal States are: New York, 96; Pennsylvania, 95; Ohio, 97; Michigan, 91; Indiana, 98; I'linois, 82, Mis souri, 101; Kansas, 67. Condition of rye aver age; barley 97. Cotton planting has been delayed by the cold rains on the Atlantic coast and by the over flows on the Gulf coast. The proportion to be planted in May averages 20 per cent. In aver age years the proportion does not exceed 11 or 15 per cent. The stand is necessarily defective on the wet areas, but replanting is rapidly fill ing the gaps. The proportions already planted are as follows: North Carolina, 73; South Carolina, 82; Georgia, 83; Florida, 94; Alabama, 80; Mississippi, 76; Louisiana, 77; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 75; Tennessee, 77. Railroads Resuming. Associated Press to Capitol. Chicago, May 10. —All railways in the city resumed operations this morning, and are ac cepting and carrying all freight offered without limit. The situation, however, is affecting the freight handlers and is still unsettled, and has developed unexpected phases. The Baltimore and Ohio put its men to work this a. m., conceding them eight hours to the working day with nine hours pay. The freight handlers of this road have set been acting in concert with the other city freight handlers and gained their victory by their in dependent negotiations with the company. It is not known what effect this concession will have upon other roads. A committee of the striking freight handlers of the Chicago and Northwestern road called upon the officials of that road this morning and expressed a desire to return to work on the old basis. The company replied that the men had been given full notice to return to work, but had failed to do so. As a consequence the company had Ls business seriously inter fered with, and had been at trouble and expense in procuring new men. These men fill the working quota of the com pany, and it had no places to offer men who had gone out on a strike. Mr. Woerishoeffer Read. Associated Press to Capital. New York, May 10.—C. D. Woerishoeffer dmd suddenly of apploplexy, at the residence of his father-in-law, Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung, in Manymanville. At 8 o’clock last night Mr. Woerishoeffer was the leading bear operator in Wall street. Mr. Woerishoeffer’s brokers state that he was long on wheat, but that there is no chance of its coming upon the market, and those who sold on that supposition will have to buy it back from some one else.

Gordon makes the follcTwing announcement to the people of Georgia : At Home, DeKalb County, Ga., May 8, 1886. —To the People of Georgia: After much re flection I have decided to become a candidate for nomination by the Democratic party of Georgia for the office of Governor. This deci sion has not been reached without sober thought and full consideration. For many months past personal and political friends have urged me to become a candidate. From every section of Jhe State, and from all classes and former divisions in the party, these requests have come. I have hesitated and wait ed, because I desired to know whether the wish was general with the people. Os this 1 cannot, longer entertain a doubt. The evidences which have reached me (particularly in the last few weeks) of the desire of tbe people, have profoundly stirred my heart and satisfied me of my duty. From distant portions of the State and from my immediate neighbors (some of whom have known me in most intimate associa tions from my boyhood up) these solicitations have come. This movement by the people so tar as I am able to judge, is absolutely sponta neous. I have not written one letter upon the subject, except in answer to those which have reacheu me; and 1 have solicited the aid of bo man nor conversed with any one who have not introduced the subject. Now that 1 am a candidate, I trust that none of my fellow-citizens of Georgia will misunder stand me. From tbe ungenerous, unwarranted and utterly untruthful criticism which have heretofore been indulged in by certain parties in reference to myself, I seek no vindication at the hands of the people. If the life that I have led for more than half a century, before this people among whom I was born and reared, is not a sufficient answer to my enemies, who are enemies without cause or ex cuse, no reply from me would satisfy them. If, at any time of my life, if in private or public station, in peace or in war, I have ever deserved the confidence and esteem of this people, I de serve the same now as surely and as completely. I wish, however, to make known in this pub lic manner, that I shall visit and speak to as many counties as possible, and am ready on a)l occasions to confront these enemies before the people Should the people prefer either of the other able and honorable gentlemen who are candi dates for tbe office, I shall support their choice i most cheerfully. If, however, the people should honor me as their choice, I shall endeavor to . serve them with an eye single to the best inter ests of Georgia. J. B. Gordon. A Proposition to I be Candidate*. General Gordon has sent the following open letter to each of the candidates for Governor in Georgia. It explains itself. We print only tl/>t> letter that was sent to Major Bacon: DeKalb County, Ga., May 8, 1886. —Hon. A. O. Bacon, Macon, Ga.—Dear Sir: Neither of us ought to desire —and I certainly do not —to become the candidate of the Democratic party of Georgia for Governor, except by the will of the Democratic people of Georgia. I know of but one way cf ascertaining infallibly that will, and that is by the Democratic method of placing votes in the ballot box. Tbe plan of calling to gether meetings at the court bouse,appointing a chairman, who, in turn, appoints a com mittee to select delegates, may or may not represent the will of the people. Doubtless, in many cases*, delegates thus selected repre sent precisely the reverse of the popular will. I ask, therefore, that you unite with me in a letter to tbe executive committee, soon to meet, requesting that committee to recommend pri mary elections in every county in this State, in order that the will of the people may be surely ascertained. Very respectfully yours, J no. B. Gordon. THE GREAT EVENT.' Scett Thornton to Appear at DeGive’i Opera Monse on Tuesday the 25th of this Month. Tbe date is fixed. Tuesday night tbe 25th of this month at De- Give’s Opera House. Os course you are going, because everybody else is going to help out a great Atlanta boy and at the same time see the best show of this or any other season. Remember, Scott Thornton appears in the fourth act of Richelieu, three acts of Richard 111. and one act of the Fools Revenge. A vari ed bill —yes, a grand bill —and it will be grandly given. Ordinary tragedians play one great character a night. Scott Thornton plays one, two, three, distinct and difficult in each—great in all. He will be supported by the prettiest and most gifted girl in Atlanta —one among ten thousand born for tbe stage. She will play Lady Anne to his Richard, Julie de Mortimer to bis Richelieu, and Fiardelisia to his Bertuccio. There now . Who is she? Well, she is . Wait and Bee. There are i. f- teen in the strong company—all good. His Richard is a wonder. The fencing scene will be the grandest and most terrific since the days of the Elder Booth. Swords have thus far been broken at every rehearsal, and now the manager is having two steel swords made to order. Think of it. Os course you are saying the costumes are all rich and beautiful and are furnished br Mr. Charles Howard. Ticket speculators will try to buy up the seats, but they can’t do it. The box sheet will be open one week before the performance, and all shall have a chance. Mr. Smith Clayton, the manager, has already refused SBOO for the house. He did not take hold of Mr. Thornton to sell him out. By the way, Clayton has never given Atlanta a poor show. His “ Come-to-My-Bosom-Come ” convulsed the town, but his “Wild Oscar” cap tured everybody. His “Dude” was great, but his last tbe Scott Thornton Combination on the 25th will be the grandest success of all. He always gives the people something good—and they don’t forget it. Oh. of course, you are going. If you don’t you’ll feel very lonely—because everybody else will be there to see Bcott Thornton on the 25th.

Tie Greatest Vagabond in tie World. The Story of An Outcast’s Life—A Hu man Wreck. jhl •‘Why not reform? That’s easily said; But I’ve gone through such wretched treatment, Sometimes forgetting the taste of bread, And scarce remembering what meat meant, That my poor stomach’s paatreform; And there are times whenmuiflvith drinking, I’d sell out Heaven for something warm To prop a horrible inward sinking.” Old Limerick! Ignoble specimen of noble manhood! Talked about and written about and knocked about. The dread of sxloon keepers, the foe of police men and the scorn of tbe prohibitionist. The Capitol has concluded to place thy image and thy history in its columns as thou art known of all men in this city—thou worst than rejected and despised of mankind? THE OUTCAST'S BIRTH. On the 27th day of March, in the year 1800, William Powers was born in Limerick, Ireland. He was of goodly parents, and in tbe year 1832 came to America with bright prospects and an a«IM» fortune,*He •ettied in Virginis and in 1844 he moved to Georgia and shortly afterwards began th* use .of intoxicating - liquors *li<- has aijice drink ssqugbi whisky to float the Great Itoh-.f HJ’ ’ jtt been educated for Qie bar and roefe tA ,/ c< nsiderable distinction/ as a member of the legal fraternity, and is to-day well acquainted with everything about a bar. Whiskey soon bad William Powers a beggar and has kept him so ever since. After he com menced pleading at bis new bar, bis friends de serted him, and when the war commenced he picked up a musket, as he was liable to pick up anything lying around, and went to the war. History leaves no record of his life as a soldier, but as soon as the sanguinary strife was ended we find him again in COMPANY WITH A BOTTLE, and he would be there now if the bottle bodn't deserted him. Since the war William Powers’ greatest drawbacks have been corks. For twenty odd yeirstheold mas has lived in Atlanta, and during all these years he has spent two-thirds of his time in the city prison and stockade. There is scarcely a man, woman or child in Atlanta who does not know the face at tbe head of this column. This picture was secured as follows: About five months ago the old man left Atlanta, and it was thought he would be seen no more, but on last Thursday he turned up full and was run into the station-house. On Friday morning the Re corder tried him and let him loose for the sake of “Auld Lang Syne.” Friday night found “Old Limerick" in the station-house again. His re-appearance in Atlanta created considerable street comment, and so The Capitol laid a plan for this sketch. On Saturday morning he was inveigled INTO IVIE’S PHOTOGRAPH OALLBBY bv money and promises (mostly the latter) and Mr. Ivie soon had picture of the greatest vaga bond on record. “Old Lidrerick” took a great fancy to Mr. Ivie and told him he could take a dozen pictures if he liked. Well, Ivie, as usual, made a good picture from which the above was taken. The subject of this sketch enjoys the dis tinction of having had bis name to appear on the police docket no less than tour hundred and eighteen times, and bis total fines (worked out at tbe stockade) amount to $1,942. It may be asked bow such a character, with out money or friends, can get whiskey to drink. That’s easily answered: Whenever he enters a saloon he pleads to the “ ‘boys’ to set ’em up,” and the “boys” generally feel charitable and respond handsomely. If the “boys” frown down encouraging drunkenness, the saloon keeper has to set ’em up to get rid of Limerick for fear he might DRIVE AWAY CUSTOMERS. It matters not how or when “Old Limerick" gets his toddie, just so he gets it. Whenever be gets drunk he gets »oisy and disorderly and he is nearly always disorderly. No sooner does a policeman attempt to lay a hand on the old customer than be lays himself down on his back and kicks at the officer until he is overpowered and carried to tbe station bouse. In the police court he always makes a speech —a good one—and is listened to patiently by the Recorder. His remarks are always in ex tenuation of his offense and a plea of mercy on account of his old age and gray hairs. The stockade is always alluded to as the “barricade of infamy.” Sometimes just before he is called out of the waiting room for trial, he will take from his pockets old strings, spools, broken combs, bits of glass, ribbons, pens, pencils and other trash, and, placing them in a pile on the floor, WILL WALK AROUND them a number of times and then stop and jerk bis body all over. This is kept up at times for an hour. His speeches are often possessed of keen wit ana bis points of law are always well taken. At his trial on last Friday morning, when tbe Re corder discharged him he started out of tbe court-room, but suddenly stopped and bobbled back. “Judge,” said “perhaps your kindness and my appreciation of it may have created a false impression in your mind and the minds of the people here. I want to say, sir, emphatically, that I am no idiotic prohibitionist.” The Judge smiled and Limerick went out and did likewise. About three years ago the city officials began to discuss plans for getting rid of the vagabond, and decided to send him TO A LUNATIC ASYLUM. So Willi im Powers was carried before Ordi nary Calhoun on a writ of lunacy. In this court, as in the recorder’s, he defended himself >.nd made quite a brilliant effort. However, he was adjudged insane and sent to Milledgeville. In six months be was locked up in tbe station house in Atlant* for being drunk on the streets. History doesn’t stale bow and when he left the asylum. He got here all tbe same, and has continued to worry the police officers and station house keepers ever tine*.

To think—he had a “mother once so proud es him, 'twas well she died bes re.” Perhaps some girl, fair and young, was happy with her head pillowed on that breast. A father looked with pride upon bis brights, young boy, and a mother’s prayers ascended daily unto the throne of God: “Guide his feet from paths of sin, O father of all good gifts.” To-day an aged man, without home, without friends, lives to be scorned by his fellow men— lives to die a drunkard, to fill a pauper’s grave— an ignoble end of an ignoble life.
