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 Mmile of the above signet- Second Edition. Tie election is lively. Eggs are in good demand at twenty cents per dozen. When a man tries to “ring” in an old joke he is rung out. An Atlanta wag suggests that an old maid is a chestnut belle. Oysters have made their appearance, but are not very popular. The Rice delegates seem to have the best show to carry the day. Now the Bulgarian national assembly will re-elect Prince Alexander. We are promised an especially interest ing article from “&ru” to-morrow. The oil war continues and the matter is fast developing into a lively sensation. It is rumored that another Sunday morning paper will be started in the city. The Hon. Henry Hillyer knows all the ropes when it comes to running an elec tion. The Northern cities are making hand some contributions to the Charleston suf ferers. ■ The disappearance of the school girl Monday seems to puzzle the police de partment. Judge Strong, our efficient clerk of the Superior Court, is a great friend of news paper reporters. A dispatch announces that Geronimo and other hostile Apache chiefs will pass through Atlanta. Some of the street car lines do not run late enough at night. Nothing chaiged for this bit of advice. Some interesting “gossip around the polls” is given in our reporter’s article on the Senatorial election. There are most too many elections in this part of the country. Good people get wearied with too much politics. Recorder Anderson made some of the prisoners ante up handsomely this morn ing. Ten-dollar fines flew around quite lively. There seems to be a decided upward tendency in the matrimonial market in Atlanta. The earthquake has had noth ing to do with it. The people are daily expecting to hear from Mui batton on the earthquake. Can it be possible that the quake is too im mense for the imaginative genius? Housekeepers in Atlanta have much trouble with cooks afld washerwomen. •Negroes generally believe independence accompanies freedom and act accordingly. As will be seen by reference to our local columns, the working women of Atlanta have organized a co-operative association. The move is a good one, and is heartily indorsed by the Capitol. A special from Savannah announces the report of the disappearance of the island of Cuba. The rumor is unauthen ticated and may prove to be a canard; yet it maybe so, as earthquakes have caused the ocean to swallow up other islands. The Conflict will not go to press until to-mor ow. The delay is caused for a special pur pose. Be sure to see it. Know who you vote for. Frank Rice is for the good of the people. Polls open at the Court House *lll 6 o'clock.

A Startling Report that tlie Island is Lost. Special to the Capitol. Savannas, Ga., September 9.—lt is re ported here this morning that three steamships have arrived in the bay. Their captAins state that they have failed to find the island of Cuba. Not a vestige ot the place remains. The report has created considerable excitement and many dis believe it. Those who think the island has dis appeared, attribute its sinking to tbe recent earthquake. The report is being thoroughly investigated by parties interested and the truth will be known to-morrow. Tbe Yacht Race. Associated Press to Capitol. Sandy Hook, S:3O a. m.—There was not the slightest ray of sunshine this morning. Since 5 o’clock a heavy mist has hung over both the sea and land. The highlands were enveloped in a thick fog from early morning that made them almost invisible. By 6 o’clock a fine drizzle set in which turned into a full storm before another hour had gone by. The wind is from the rain quarter, and the prospects for a good race are excellent. There is a choppy sea running and the surf is break ing upon the beach. All night long the fog horn has been screeching, but by.B o’clock tbe fog began to lift and the light ship will soon be visible. S:4O a. m.—An immense fleet in Horse-Sboe this morning, most of the squadron that had been at anchor off Bay Ridge since tbe night of the first race having come down ‘during yester day afternoon and evening. Shortly alter day break there was unusual activity on board tbe yachts in Cove. On tbe sailing ciaft the main sails were set, whil tbe thick black smoke that rolled from the stacks from steam yachts show ed that they were preparing for the work of the day. All of the great throng of people that bad filled the verandas of the hotels along tbe Nar rows on the occasion of the first race, those who bad stationed themselves along Long Island or Jersey shores, or had perched upon the walls and breastworks of the two big forts at the entrance of the upper bay appeared to have been lifted in one great mass and set down upon the beach at Sandy Hook, on Jersey hills. The beach between Ocean Grove and Navesink H'gblands, as far as the eye could reach, was black with people, not only from tbe seaside resorts did they come, but from lhe inland towns, where the contest has awakened intense interest. The piazzas of all hotels near the sea were occupied by spectators, who came down on the early trains and boats. Crows and seagulls that are wont to flutter about the beach down here seemed conscious that something of unusual importance was go ing on. They were restless, and their shrill cries were evidently intended to show their dis approval of the invasion of their domain by so many human beings. 9 A. M. —Before 9 o’clock clouds broke away in tbe east and clearing up began. Tbe wind continued from east of northeast, and appeared to freshen. At 9 o’clock the signal service gave the velocity of tbe wind at 12 miles an hour. The fog-horn was hushed and tbe mist began to move. It was wet work on board of the sail ing vessels and oil-skins were in great demand. Vessels coming in from seaward carried light sails aloft. With wind in present direction the yachts will probably run down to eastward. Sandy Hook, September 9, 10:25 a. m.—The Galatea passed the Hook in tow at 10:18; the Mayflower passed out in tow at 10:22, a fleet of steam and sailing yachts, steamboats and tugs following them. Wind blowing 20 miles an hour from the east; weather cloudy and hazy; Scotland light ship barely visible. There is a moderate sea. 11:03 a. m.—The wind is from the east and blows 21 miles an hour. Weather foggy and cloudy, with light rain. It will be impossible to see tbe start. 11:25 a. m.—The weather is clearing. Can see tbe yachts playing around Scotland light ship. 11:35 a. m.—The fog has again shut out Scot land lightship. The yachts must have started. Mavfloweris on the starboard lack, standing Northeast and one mile and a half from lightship. Galatea leads Mayflower about one hundred yards, but Mayflower is well to windward. They point for Rockaway under main sail, gaff top sa ; l, slay sail and jib, wind east, 24 miles and.foggy. ’ 11:50 a. m.—Tbe Mayflower is near whistling buoy outside lhe bar,po ; nt well up and seems to be overhauling tbe Galatea. 11:53 A. M. —Galatea went about off buoy 1 outside bar, and crossed Mayflower’s bow; tbe latter went about 20 seconds later. Both are now on port tack. 12 m. —At the last s'ght of yachts in tbe fog after they tacked, the Mayflower seemed to be closing the gap between her and tbe cutler. Wind 22 miles east. Foggy. Geronimo Coming to Atlanta. Associate Press u> Capitol. Wilcox, Axizona, Sept. 9.—A special train of three cars left Bowie station at 3 o’clock yes terdav afternoon having on board Geronimo, Natchez and other hostiles in charge of Captain Lawton, bound for Fort Marion, Florida.

SEPTEMBERS, 1886. WOMAN’S NOBLE WORK. A NEW ORGANIZATION BY ATT AIN- Tl’S WOMEN. A Co-ODsratiYe Factory the On’growtli of the Knistiis of Labor. Atlanta will have a new co-operative estab lishment at an early day. It will be one organized by the women of the city to make clothing and do all other kind of work that women usually do. This is a good move and one in the direction for the protection of the women who have to work for a living by sewing, etc., and it will doubtless be endorsed by the leading people of the city. THK KNIGHTS OF LABOR WOMEN. This morning the news was told a Capitol reporter and he began to seek some one who could tell more about it. Mr. Robert Miller,on Decatur street, is about at the head ot it, only as an adviser, however, and one who can put the ladies out in the right path. A few days ago some of the ladies who make clothing gathered for tbe purpose of planning a way by which they could control the price of making garments, and also make the business pay better. The plans of several were submitted and well considered, and now it is a decided iact that they will soon organize. OBJECT OF THE WOMEN. The object of the women in organizing them selves in a body is to obtain the patronage of the clothing merchants and to make the sewing bus iness pay belter. They Will also manufacture clothing for themselves and sell to the mer chants. No doubt the clothiers will heartily endorse the movement and support it the best they can. Tbe reporter talked to several of the dry goods merchants and asked their opinion, and each of them Link it will prove valuable, not only to tbe women, but to the merchant who patronizes them. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. •ne merchant told the reporter that he bad met with a great deal of trouble in getting bis clolhiug made promptly, and when some women on the outskirts of the city carried off clothing to make they would not return them for weeks, pnd he was glad that such a thing was being thought of bv tbe women, as he thought it would be a help to the merchant in getting work done promptly He, with several others, heartily endorsed the movement, and they truly hope it will soon reach tbe place of business. THE WHOLESALE HOUSES. Messrs. Moore, Marsh & Co., also Messrs. M. C. & J. F. Kiser & Co., have agreed to support the organization, and with such firms as these to back tbe women they are not afraid to ven ture out. Mr. Miller will help them get started and ob ta:n for them a regular place to carry cn bu*«b ness. In a few days it will be in thorough run ning order. Atlanta has women that possess much push and energy as do the men and they are not backward in entering a cause that will prove of mutuil good to Atlanta’s welfare. They will get machines and rent a house and begin at an early day. WHAT THEY HAVE IN VIEW. The ladies who will join this organization can give employment to manv a young lady who is out of work and thereby help in another way. Those who first suggested tbe co-operative women’s clothing manufactory are true Knights of Labor women, and those who will join will be tbe same. The Knights of Labor organizations in tbe city and elsewhere will support them and the new organization will prosper. Atlanta will be glad to welcome this enter prise, as one of a new character, that will prove very beneficial. WHAT DO YOU EABN? Tbe Dally Wage Scaleof Civilization and Its Significance.
