A Handsome Sign.
M. M. Mauck, who is always ahead in every
thing in his line, has now in front of his shop,
Pryor and Hunter streets, as handsome a
sign as ever graced the front of any building.
It is a beautiful design, on one side is represent
ed a view of Mauck’s paper store room with an
owl and a pair of frogs introduced as figures in
the foreground. The side view is a vase con
taining three peacock feathers, and the feathers
are attached to a card bearing the signature of
Mr. Mauck. The card is so natural that many
who see will not believe it is painted until they
touch it.
The work is truly artistic and gives an idea of
what excellent work can be done in Mr. Mauck’s
shop. Mr. William Reynolds is the artist.

Associated Press to Capitol.
Boston, August 7.—The disabled North Ger
man Lloyd steamer, Werra, from Bremen, has
arrived below in tow of a steamer.
I lie Remain, of Tilden.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Yonkers, N. Y., August7.—The day dawned
with heavy damp clouds brooding over Grey
stone where the dead statesman was lying in its
funeral robes awaiting burial. In this city the
public buildings were closed and emblems of
mourning were displayed on almost every
house.
Early in the morning the casket arrived, and
the body reverently placed therein, was removed
from the room in the second story, in which it
was first placed, to the blue room on the first
Boor. This was not accomplished until eight
o’clock, and it was not until that hour that the
general public were admitted to the mansion.
The remains were placed on a catafalque in the
center of the room. The drapery of the cata
falque was black crape and cashmere, and the
entire room was draped in sable.
Among the first to arrive at the house were
General Alexander Hamilton, Charles A. Dana,
Daniel Manning, John B. Trevor, Ex-Senator
Wm. H. Barnum, Samuel J. Randall, Treasurer
Jordan, Ex-Collector Murphy and Ex-Assem
bly Morrow. Andrew H. Green received all,
ushered them into the parlor, when the people
generally were admitted to view tbeTemains.
The body was seen to be attired in full dress
suit, with white pink in button-hole, a white
tie surrounded a standing collar. The right
hand was crossed over the breast, and the head
lay partly on the right side. The features,
while showing some emaciation, did not sug
gest that the dead man had undergone any ex
tended or considerable physical suffering.
There were only two floral pieces on the coffin,
a bouquet of calla lillies and white roses lay
near the head of the casket, and at the front
was placed a sheaf of palm, under smilax and
victoria regina. All the flowers came from Mr.
Tilden's hot bouses. The victoria regina came
from a plant of which there are but three in
America.

Milledgeville.—Yesterday the famous
Humphries murder case was called iu the supe
rior court, Judge Thomas G. Lawson presiding.
This case is one of universal interest. It will
be remembered that on the 4th of March of the
present year, the bodies of Misses Carrie Raines
and Ella Humphries were found brutally mur
dered about nine miles above here in Baldwin
county.
courthouse was filled this morning with
people from several counties around, and there
was scarcely room for the attorneys and officers
of ’he court. The trial was concluded this af
ternoon at 3:30, and after a clear charge from
Judge Lawson, the iurv retired. The throng
still remained until 4 o’clock, when the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, which will hang
Frank Humphries. He looked at the jury as
they marched in and head the verdict road with
out a tremor.
Mr. Humphries, his wife and three little chil
dren were in the court room all day. Mrs.
Humphries wore a sad expression upon her face.
The poor little children seemed to realize the
condition of their father. Little Mamie, the
eight-year old daughter of Frank Humphries,
was noticed by every one. She is a beautiful
blue-eyed little girl. Her father does not seem
to notice her, or either of the little boys, whe
seem to take the trial of their father very easy.
A FLeCBISHIHG BUSINESS.
That’s Jast Whut a New Atlanta
Enterprise has been Doing Since
It was Estalished in Our JHidst.
A Capitol scribe paid a pleasant visit to the
Moxie laboratory this morning. On going in he
found everybody busy, but in a few moments
the General Manager was ready to cbat with
the reporter. At first the conversation
drifted on in a general way and nothing of spe
cial interest to our readers was spoken until
The Capitolite asked how their business was
prospering and as to the future prospects of the
Moxie Co.
The answer to this inquiry we publish with
pleasure. The manager stated that glancing
backward their business had been marvellously
successful; their sales had increased rapidly
every month and that they were now continual
ly rushed to fill orders from all sections in their
territory, which covers the States of Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee and Georgia.
Their city trade had been satisfatory in every
way. Their sales at the soda fountains are daily
multiplying, but the future is what we hare an
eye on now, said the Moxie man, th»t’s what we
are figuring on, and from the present outlook
we will have to enlarge our field of operation
that we may be prepared for the increased boom
that is surely coming soon.
Ths Capitol man congratulated them on
their success, and after drinking a glass of the
delicious “Moxie” and wishing them a big
bright future, he bid the m good morning.

C H. COX WRITES.
What He Says to C F. Fairbaako
Aboat Weaver.
Mr. C. F. Fairbanks received a letter from C.
H.Cox this morning in regard to James P.Wea
ver. Cox is the man who first gave Wearer
away to a Capitol reporter, and who Weaver
so bitterly denounced. Cox is now in Chatta
nooga, and writing from that city, says:
lam glad I gave Weaver awav to the EVEN
INS Capitol reporter. It has righted a wrong
and has relieved Weaver’s mind of a great
strain. The secret he was hiding was wearing
bis life away. I see it published that Weaver
stated he had done me favors and loaned me
money. That is a miserable lie, and Weaver
knew it when he said it. I have no regrets
whatever about what I have done.”

Some of those other fellows are advertising
15 lbs. of G sugar for SI.OO, and when the peo

their reason for not doing so, that there is no
money in it unless you buy a pound of tea; the
enormous profit they have on tea allows them
to sell 15 lbs. G sugar for SI.OO. There area
great many people in Atlanta who think that
the above advertisement is Duffy’s, 75 Peach

above impression I will say that I do not adver
tise sugar, but will sell the finest teas in the
city at 50 cents per pound. Duffy, 75 Peach
