Anyone having an item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing it te one of The Capifol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet* Second Edition. Get the Atlanta Sews Daily. Parties leaving the city for summer resorts should send their address to Thb Capitol office, 48 S. Broad street, and have Thb Capitol mail ed them each evening for the special price of 25 cents a month. ' Snow storm in New Hampshire, and frost on the windows to-day. Whew! The great Pierce-Weaver case is still the ex citement on the streets. Mrs. Weaver will be here to-morrow, when the mystery will be solved. W. T. Christopher, editor of the Montezu ma Record, and erstwhile an Atlanta man, is in the city and will stay until he is run off. He has grown very fat and very saucy. Everybody is clamoring for all of the city officers to be salaried. There are several offi ces that could be consolidated and several thou sand dollars saved thereby to the tax payer. It is reported that Mexico will now have to fight or back down from her position of retain ing Cutting in prison. There is much specula tion as to the probable outcome of the whole matter, but there is nothing definite. J. C. C. Black-burn will be in Atlanta soon in the interests of the daily and weekly Madi sonian. Refore he has thoroughly taken in this town the ears of some merchants will burn and if they don’t listen favorably to his talks, their pocketbooks will burn worse hereafter. The council have given general satisfaction in showing their opinion of the recent SSOO liq uor oppressions. We believe, however, that in stead of referring the matter to the mayor they should have handled the matter themselves — that is, providing their authority extended thus far. Dray Liceusea. Some call it high-handed outrage. Some designate it as highway robbery. Some say that it is to supply the deficit from loss of liquor revenues. Others say that it is done to drive away our enterprising merchants into other less grind ing, avaricious cities. And still others say that the poor of the city are being unnecessarily oppressed. What about, you ass? We answer the late action of council taxing private drays $25.00 a year. Are they right in their conclusions, these people who cry out as stated above? Perhaps they are, and perhaps they are not; but leading prohibitionists say that it is a fatal stroke at the benefits to arise from prohibition. If merchants must pay the deficiency arising from the close of the saloons ‘they will of course in turn charge the cost of these drays to their customers. The result will be that the poor will have to pay for the drays, because they buy their sup plies in small quantities and often, while the rich buy in larger quantities, and of course the delivery cost is correspondingly decreased. There is great complaint over tbe ordinance by every merchant in town, and now they say that scarcely knowing anything about the ordi nance they did not pay and as a consequence are now obliged to pay the oppressive $1.50 fi fa business. There is need for reform here. Cash or Weekly Payments. We take this method of notifying our custo mers that we will collect Weekly from the first of August. All bills sold during the week will be due and collected on the following Monday. By so doing, you will derive the full benefit of the weekly system, as we will be enabled to buy all of our stock for cash, and therefore, able to sell for less money than heretofore. As an illustration, we will charge on your books the same prices as formerly; but allow 10 per cent, on all bills paid at our office on Mon day, without being put to the expense of send ing a collector. Thanking you for pasi favors, and hoping to retain you as a customer, we will always strive toplease. Yours respectfully, J. M. Stewart. Washington Market, 110 Peachtree St. REAL. ESTATE SALES.

TELEGRAPHIC CONGRESSIONAL. Senate. Associated Press to Capitol. Washington, August 3.—The Senate met at 10 o’clock Hale from the conference committee on deficiency bill submitted a report; and pro ceeded to explain it. In regard to certain claims (for income tax paid by non-resident aliens) which has been regularly estimated for and which the House had partially and Senate en tirely put in the bill, it had turned out in the conference that there were objections to some of those put in by the Senate, and the conferees recommended that these items be referred back to the Secretary of the Treasury with instruc tions to report the facts to Congress next ses sion. Mr. Manderson inquired as to the item for 15 days leave of absence to employes of the gov ernment printing office. Mr. Hale said that that item was retained. As to the item for the Brazil Steamship Com pany, the appropriation is struck out and the clause substituted directing the Postmaster- General to report at next session the amount of services rendered and the sum justly and equitably due. • The item to pay the Central Pacific railroad company for services rendered on its non subsi dized lines is also struck out. The item as to the Washington aqueduct and tunnel, is retain ed with a provision that the board of engineers for fortifications and river and harbor improve ments shall report whether any changes are necessary in the method of lining the tunnel and the method of lining and perfecting the reservoir. Mr. Hoar asked how the appropriation bills of this session compared with those of preceding sessions with regard to the omission by the House of Representatives, of the items of appro priation absolutely necessary for the operations of the Government depending upon the Repub lican Senate to put them on. Mr. Hale replied that in his opinion this prac tice of the Senate found bills sent over from the House fractional and incomplete. It would find, for example, a page of regular estimates on one-third of them on which have been left out, while there was no difference in point of merit between those omitted and those included. This did give rise to the statements more or less declamatory in another branch of the gov ernment as to the extravagance of the Senate, while the fact was th* Senate was very careful to put in nothing that was not necessary to the running of tbe government. House. Associated Press to Capitol. Wasington, August 3.—The Speaker laid be fore the House the President’s message an nouncing bis approval of the oleomargarine bill, which was read and referred to the committee on ways and means.

Forsyth street. Telephone 548. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 3, 1886. WEAVER SENSATION- THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE WONDERFUL CASE. Tie Matter Not lo ie Fully Settled Until Mrs. Weaver Arrives. The Weaver-Pierce sensation still troubles the public pulse. J. Pierce Weaver, alias J. Pierce, is in Atlanta and signified a willingness to remain here for further identification, but is not well pleased with the idea of meeting his first wife, Mrs. Louisa E. Weaver. This morning a Capitol reporter called on Mr. Ladson and asked him what he knew fur ther in the case. “ Not a thing,” he replied. “We are waiting to hear from Mrs. Weaver’s attorneys. the Capitol’s club. “Mr. Ladson,” asked The Capitol man, “what was the first clve you had to lead to the apprehension of Weaver ?” “Well, you know, we were looking for him all the while.” “Yes, but what was the direct cause of his arrest in Chattanooga ?” “A letter I wrote to the Chattanooga Times. As soon as I saw Cox had told a Capitol re porter that Weaver had been employed in the Times office I wrote and asked about it. The reply gave me a clue to Weavers’ whereabouts, and I went after him.” From this it will be seem that The Capitol made no idle boast when it said yesterday it was the cause of Weaver being found. MRS. WEAVER COMING. Mr. Walter R. Brown, attorney for Mrs. Weaver, said to a reporter, that he had received a telegram from Indianapolis, saying that Elijah Hedges and Mrs. Weaver would arrive in Atlanta to-morrow night at 8 o’clock. When Mr. Ladson heard this, he was appre hensive that Weaver would leave the city it he learned there was a probability of his meeting his first wife. “What will you do?” asked the reporter. “I don’t know, but Weaver must be kept here by all means.” “Will you get out another warrant?” “Yes, I will have to do that, but I hate to do so, as I am really sorry for the poor man.” “What will be tbe charge in the warrant ?” “I can’t tell you. It is something you know nothing about.’’ “When will you take out the warrant?” “Before your paper comes out." HE IS STILL MYSTIED. “What do you think about your case, now," asked a reporter of Walter R. Brown, Esq. “I i.m still mystified. You fellows omitted to mention a very important matter which oc curred yesterday morning.” “What was it?” “Don’t you recollect I showed the man a pho tograph and asked him who it was?” “Yes." “And he said he thought it was his father-in law?” “Just so.” “Well, that was not a picture of his father-in law, but of a prominent and well-known citizen of Indianapolis. If that fellow is Weaver he ought to have known who it was at a glance.” “You still doubt that tbe man is Weaver?” “I do, and will not be convinced until Mrs. Weaver comes.” So the matter stands, and tbe concluding chapters to tbe story will not be published until Mrs. Weaver arrives.
