Atl ant amto I. VOL. V. Actual Number Issued To-Day, - 5,800 Actual Number Issued to Subscribers, 5,823 Limited by Capacity of Press. Anyone having an item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing it te one of The Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac simile of the above signet. Second Edition. The anxiously looked-for lodge direc tory is out, and all members of secret so / cieties can get a copy free by calling at The Capitol office. The Capitol will issue a six or eight page paper to-morrow, August 28th,which will have a large and varied circulation. i Already there are orders for two thou sand extra copies, to be sent throughout the South, every copy of which will go in to responsible, intelligent hands. As an advertising medium it will be un surpassed, and live houses should take advantage of the opportunity of bringing their business into extended notice. The local circulation will be larger than usual because its columns will be filled with extra choice, interesting local mat ter. Rates as usual, reasonable. r Please hand in your copy at as early an hour as possible —but in any case be sure to get your card in that issue. It will do you good service. The police have their hand full tracing up cutting scrapes and burglaries. Why not attach a “dummy” to the street cars which run to Grant park. The attendance at the State Bar Asso ciation is large —no danger of a cyclone. Crew street, when paved, will be one of the finest residence streets in the city. Worthless curs in the city are getting scarce. Strichnine is having a wonderful effect. _______ There will be a dance at Salt Springs on the 29th instant. Arrangements have been made to have the hop a splendid affair, and many Atlantians will be in at tendance. Rev. H. H. Strickland, of Nashville, Tenn., one of the ablest divines in the Baptist denomination, is in the city. An effort will be made to get him to preach at the First Baptist Sunday night. We regret that that cutting scrape of last night should have occurred at the Adams House, for a more homelike, quiet, highly respectable family hotel does not exist in Georgia. We trust that no one will unkindly cast a reflection upon the Adams House, for the affair might as easily have happened in a church. There seems to be a cutting epidemic in the city- The pistol has gone out of fashion in these latter days and the knife and dirk have taken it place. To prevent bloodshed the law prohibits a man from carrying a pistol, and yet a man whips out a pocket knife and sends a brother into eternity. Why not have a law against carrying pocket knives. This editor, after reading the distorted and uncalled-for statements in an interview in the morning paper about vacant houses and exodus of inhabitants, felt like at once writing a column on the subject, but a careful con sideration leads us to think that it were far better to trust that the very figures themselves may carry their own denials and refutation. To discuss the prohi and anti subject further is inopportune and unwise, and we will simply say we wish the gentleman, Mr. J. W. Clayton, would furnish The Capitol with the names of fifty of the exodusters,would explain why the applications for positions in our public schools by children is much greater than ever before, would explain how Maddox & Rucker’s statements of better business in the city can be false and lastly would explain whether he thinks Mr. 8. M. Inman was telling an un truth when he says as he did in Sunday’s Constituticn that there are not 300 va vant dwellings in the city. The Capitol will stand up squarely for justice to liquor dealers and cry out against SSOO fines or other unjust oppres sions, but when it comes to trying to ruin our beautiful city we are not with the an tis or anybody else. We earnestly wish that further discussion of this subject could cease. TELEGRAPHIC The Prince Located at l.a-t. associated Press to Capitol. London, August 27.—Authentic information has at last reached here in regard to the move ments of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria. He landed in Reni, in Russia, a province of Bessar abia, Wednesday. On leaving the yacht on which he bad been transported to that point, he made a brief farewell address to the commander and escort, in which he expressed his regret at leaving Bulgaria. He declared he would never cease to take profound interest in Bulgaria’s future and had no deeper desire than that for Bulgaria’s happiness and prosperity. Toward this end be had ever labored with his whole heart. His earnest wish in the present juncture was that Bulgaria should choose another prince to rule over her who should be devoted to the welfare of the country. Prince Alexander was expected to arrive at Lamberg last night, where delegates sent from the army and the people to represent to him the situation in Bulgaria, and to invite him back to assume the reins of the government, were awaiting him. The Bulgarsins are practically unanimous in their demand for Prince Alexander’s return to Rustchuk. As the result of the understanding reached by the adherents of Prince Alexander, at Sofia, and the Timova Council, of regency, has been formed, consisting of Messrs. Stam bonloff, Glavereoff and Natchorech. Colonel Moutkouroff has been appointed Commander in Chief as long as the state of siege lasts. Episcopal Bishop Elected. Associated Press to Capitol.

A SAD CASE. MR. F. BETTERTON ADJUDGED INSANE THIS MORNING. 11l Health Supposed to be the Cause — He Leaves for the Asylum Un der Guard. Mr. G. H. Betterton, of this city, was pro nounced insane, this morning, by Judge Cal houn, and he was sent immediately to the in sane asylum at Milledgeville, under the charge of Mr. Wm. Williams. The cause of Mr. Betterton loosing his mind is not exactly in such a shape as would be pru dent to give to the public if known at all. He was placed in a cell at the city prison, yester day, on account of having become dangerous. This morning he was carried before Judge Calhoun and after thoroughly investigating his case requested that he be carried to the asylum. Mr. Betterion has been losing bis mind ever since last April and has gradually grown dan gerous at his home. . He lived with his son-in-law, Mr. D. T. Bent ley, in East Atlanta and he also had a son —Mr. A. B. Bet terton, who lived at the same place, and on yesterday morning the old man became uncontrolable, so it was thought best to confine him to a cell. Mr. Betterton seemed to have his right mind at times and when the officer, Terry, was placing him in the patrol wagon he resisted. Mr. Betterton is about sixty years of age, but looks as hearty and is as strong as almost any man of to-day. He lived for a long time at West Point, and has a host of friends at this place who will re gret to learn of his condition. He was once one of the most prominent and wealthiest citizens of West Point, owning con siderable property and a wagon factory, but by misfortune he lost it all. For the past few months he has been suffer ing greatly with what the doctors called rheu matism, and it seemed at times that he could not succomb the agony of the pains. About two months ago he was attended by Dr. J. G. Roy, who pronounced his case a se rious one, and said he would probably never get well. His son-in-law, Mr. Bentley, has patiently taken care of him in the hope that he would recover, but the people who met Mr. Betterton on the streets knew that he was fast losing his mind, and for the past month it was found nec essary to confine him to a room. Before he was taken to the prison he would try to fight, and seemed to care for nothing. A reporter asked Judge Calhoun this morn ing what he thought of Mr. Betterton’s case, and he replied : “I don’t think it will be necessary to keep him at the asylum long, as be is a man of strong constitution and seemingly good nerve.” “What do you think caused his state of in-, sanity?” “According to Dr. Roy’s statement, it was caused from disease.” ,'S Oalhouq2said> he learned t Betterton was onbej a man of considera'ble means and perhapsjjbis had a tendency to cause him to lose his ,7nd, knowing that he had by misfortune lost all’his property. Mrs. Bentley, who is a daughter of Mr. Bet tenton, is terribly saddened over the condition of her father and she seems to take the affair rather hard. It is to be hoped that he will be able to be brought back soon. This morning some of the people who were close friends to Mr. Betterton were with him before the ordinary, and Mr. Bentlev was also there. Mr. Betterton at times seemed to realize his condition, and knew where they were going to send him, and he expressed regret at having to leave his relatives. Mr. Bentley will watch after him, and when he gets able to return will have him brought back. Administrator’s Sale—At Auction.
