It cost over forty thousand dollars to
try the anarchists.
An exchange rises to explain that an
earthquake is a “trembling of the earth.’’
There is nothing like being plain when
dealing with scientific matters.
The seismograph is a very ingenious
instrument for the purpose of registering
the extent of an earthquake shake up.
The only trouble is to find some one to
Stand around and watch the register.
The State exchanges are noticing the
account of an Atlanta undertaker stop
ping a funeral because the coffin was not
paid for. The Capitol was the only paper
in the city that published the interesting
and sensational story.
The croaker who says business in Atlanta
is falling off should be placed in the cen
ter of Alabama street, where a dozen or
so drays can run over him and pound
common sense into his noddle.
The driving of the first spike in the
Georgia Midland at Columbus Monday
was an important event to that city. Over
twenty miles are graded, ready for the
track, which will be laid rapidly. The
road will be of inestimable benefit to
Columbus.
A young man] in Baltimore named Oli
ver O’Donnell, who three years ago in
herited a fortune of SBO,OOO and SB,OOO a
year, has squandered his inheritance, and
a few days ago was arrested in New York
for stealing a watch-, and has been sent to
an inebriate asylum.
It is believed in New York that Lieut.
Henn, of the Galatea, who recently chal
lenged any American sloop yacht for a
race to Bermuda and back, may be in
duced to extend his challenge so as to
admit schooners. Should this prove to
be the case, it is stated that the steamer
Dauntless will be matched against the
Galatea. The Dauntless is owned by Mr.
Caldwell Colt, of Hartford, Conn., son of
the late Col. Colt, of firearms fame. Mr.
Colt is a member of the New York Yacht
Club, and is plucky and very rich.
SCIENTISTS ANU KAHTHQt AKEN.
The country is being flooded with theo
ries concerning the recent earthquake,
end scientists are eagerly seeking the
columns of the newspaper to ease their
over-burdened minds of facts and figures
that may mean a great deal, but which
have served so far only to mystify the
public.
Thk Capitol has a soft place in its
heart for science ami has seriously con
templated attaching a scientific bureau to
its editorial department. Science is a
great thing, no doubt, and is never truly
appreciated until something as gigantic
as a cyclone or an earthquake comes
along.
We feel a deeply engrafted sympathy
for scientists because, in their endeavor
to satisfy the people with a lot of theories,
they forget themselves, and to day one
cannot be found who will own up that he
is satiated in this respect.
Theories are cheap and no one has ever
yet made a scoop and caused a corner on
the article.
J ust as soon as the earth had ceased to
tremble a half dozen scientists were hov
ering around Charleston picking up data,
and in a few hours the theories were all
hatched and sent out on an unsuspecting
world. It is not necessary to enter into
details. Suflice it to say that enough rea
sons were given for the shake to have
blown up a dozen worlds, and Tub Capi
trfTasugflest that it would be a good idea
promulgators to hold over a few
tiYiTil the next Issue.
Earthquakes are mysterious, and the
scientist knows as much of the cause of
these disturbances as the illiterate Hot
tentot*. Tlte theory of the ignorant negro
. who says artesian wells caused it all is
worth as much as his.
Let’s do away with scientific theories
and acknowledge “there are more tilings
* in neavefi and earth than are dreamed of
incur philosophyheed the pleadings
of our consciences and own that a God.

THB EYENTNG CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA- * THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,88 C,
Mr. A. McGilvray, of Atlanta, for $29,-
500. The building will be handsome and
substantial, an ornament to the city and
a credit to the county. The estimate
placed on the building by the architects
was $30,000. Mr. Bruce, the architects,
was present at the meeting of the com
missioners.”
The Macon Telegraph devotes a whole
column to ridiculing the earthquake re
ports in the Constitution. The truth is
that the Constitution had the fullest and
most complete reports of any paper in the
United States. The only real evil about
the Constitution, from the Telegraph’s
standpoint, is its publication in Atlanta.
It is useless to conceal thiefact that pro
hibition has been dragged into the Sena
torial election. The prohibitionists have
always disclaimed any intention to carry
local option into politics, but the antis
have forced the issue and the proliis have
accepted it.
The latest news from El Paso is that
poor Cutting is destitute and in bad
health. His half interest in his Mexican
paper was absorbed to pay his expenses
during imprisonment, and he will now
live with his relatives in Michigan until
his health is better.
A correspondent yesterday wanted to
know if The Capitol had given up advo
cating the building of a market house.
We have not, but what’s the use of harp
ing away on such a project when the city
fathers say emphatically we can’t have it?
CAPITOL CRAYONS.
Chakleston must and will be a great city
again. A little money and a little time will
make her ouce more the “beautiful city by the
sea.”
City Clekk Goldsmith is the right man in
the right place and as an efficient official and
courteous gentleman he has no superior in the
Slate of Georgia.
People wait for summer when the winter is
near; and when summer comes wait for winter.
Thus waiting and longing for what they have
not, death at last ends the weary expectation.
Pips for artesian water is being laid on Crew
street as far as Rawson. The people in this
neighborhood are, of course, duly thankful for
the thoughtfulness and consideration of the
city fathers. In a short while artesian hydrants
will be located in every portion of the city.
That the little children are not well pleased
witq the return of school days seems to astonish
a number of grown-up people. The feelings of
our little ones can be easily appreciated if we
only put ourselves in their places. Did we
hanker after school books, and rejoice when va
cation ended? Not much.
Those having business in the Governor’s of
fice are loud in their praise of Secretary How
ard E.W.Palmer. His polite attention to visitora
and other persons whose business calls them to
the ekecutive chambers has won for him the re
spect and esteem of everyone. He has proven
a moat efficient official ,and it would be hard to
find a gentleman more fitted to occupy the re
sponsible position.
A lady remarked yesterday at a social gath
ering: “The old custom of serving wine at din
ners and evening entertainments has slmost en
tirely disappeared.” The lady is right, and the
reform is due to the fact that wives and mothers
discovered that the social glass was as ruinous
to young men when offered by fair hands, be
neath gilded chandeliers, as wheu served in
grog shops and dens of iniquity.
Tut tiagmen at the railroad crossings do not
have as easy a time as one might imagine. One
remarked yesterday that scarcely an hour in
the day passes but what some person, generally
a woman or child, comes near being crushed
under the wheels of a passing train. To stand
in one place all day and furnish other people
with heads every time they lose them must be
troublesome and very tiresome.
One of the best officials that Fulton county
has ever had is Ordinary Calhoun. No com
plaint ot any kind has ever been made against
the Ordinary’s office since Judge W. L. Cal
houn has been in charge. Besides, Judge Cal
houn is a polite, courteous gentleman, always in
a pleasant humor, always obliging and always
glad to serve you. It is a pleasure to have
business dealings with such men, and such of
ficials are indeed a blessing to any people.
Two pictures: First a Peachtree street man
sion, soft music, blended with the rustle of silk,
the hum of happy voices, a banquet spread and
a feast of plenty. Second, a hut, but a stone’s
throw from the mansion, groans from dying lips,
cries of despair, starvation and death. Ah!
spoiled children of fashion, some day you will
cross the river,
“ Where the glare and the glitter and tinsel of time
Doth fade in the light of that region sublime.”
And then the glare of your gilded chandeliers
will not shut out from your sight the squalid
hut; the music’s strains and the rustling silks
will not drown the dying groans; your soul will
not fesst until the starring are forgotten.
What will you say unto the Lord God of Hosts?

A Well Known physician.
Elbkkton, Ga., June 16th, 1886.
The Swift Specific Co.—Gentlemen:
During the year 1576 I was attacked with
articular rheumatism—the effect of expos
ure to dampness and night air. I ex
hausted all the remedies known to our
profession, including iodide of potash in
various combinations, wine of colchicum,
fluid extract of poke root, and various
other preparations, including a patent
potash preparation. I was also treated
for several vears bv a number of our best
physicians," but obtained no permanent
relief. For nearly a year I was confined
almost continuously to my bed, and could
not attend to business of any kind. Being
a practicing physician I was somewhat
prejudiced against patent medicines, but
coming in contact with traveling salesmen
almost everv day, who with one accord
recommended the S. 8. S. to me, I finally
concluded to try it. I commenced im
proving while using the first bottle, and
when I had finished half a dozen bottles I
was so much improved that I was able to
walk about and attend to my business
once more. I consider your Swift Specific
the best tonic and alterative made, and I
do not hesitate to prescribe it in all cases
requiring a reliable blood purifier.

THE COHOMER’S INQUEST
<
Over the Dead Body of H. T. Nash,
Killed Lust Night.
This morning at 10 o’clock the coroner em
panelled a jury and began to investigate the
cause of the death of H. T. Nash, who was
killed last night at ten minutes past eleven
o’clock in the Central railroad yard.
Mr. Teems, a car coupler, in the W. A A. yard,
Mr. Burnett, the Central railroad yard conduct
or, and Mr. Johns, the engineer, were the wit
nesses in the case.
They showed that the dead man met his death
by unavoidable accident, as his foot hung in the
switch and he could not get it loosed soon
enough to get away.
He was run over by only one wheel and it ran
across his left foot straight up his leg, mashing
the whole bone and flesh as it went.
When help came to his relief the car wheel
was on his leg, and the men had to prize it off.
They also had to prize the rails
apart to get his foot loose.
Nash was a sober man and a good, kind hus
band, and the fact that be leaves a wife and
several children makes the case a more lament
able one.
The jury rendered a verdict that decaned
came to his death by unavoidable accident on
the Central Railroad.
Nash was a brother to Bud Nash, who was
knocked in the head and killed with a bottle by
his brother-in-law, Kit Weeks, sometime ago.
W. H. Brotherton has a large stock of men’s,
boy's and child’s clothing, a portion of it slight

A RAZOR AND A KNIFE.
Two Barbera Fall Out and Have a
Scrimmage.
Yesterday afternoon W. P. Norris and Dun
can King, two colored barbers, who have been
talking customers to death, at the corner of
Alabama and Pryor streets, under Dodd’s whole
sale grocery house had a row.
King, who is one of the partners,
got mad and picked np all his
razors and straps to leave the building. On his
way out he stopped to get a settlement from the
cash boy. Norris, who is foreman, objected to
King drawing money while the other partner
was absent. His objection was overruled by
King, and a quarrel insued.
King dared Norris out on the streets and
Norris accepted the challenge, and drew a white
haodle knife. King whipped out a black-handle
razor, and the two would have proceeded at
once to do the carving act, but a police officer
stepped up, collared the pair and escorted them
to the station-house.
The Recorder tried the cases this morning,
and entered a fine of $10.75 against each of the
parties.

A Touching Scene.
A very touching scene occurred at the close
of the prayer meeting at the First Baptist
church last night. While the congregation
were engaged in singing the last hymn, a young
Doctor of our city walked np the aisle and spoke
a few words to Dr. Hawthorne, after which he
sank on his knees, near the rostrum, and seem
ed entirely overcome. He came asking prayer
for his young wife, who lay not far distant upon
a bed of suffering. Her life was despaired of,
he had tried all earthly means to no avail, and
in his extremity he came almost heart broken to
lay his sorrows before the throne of grace.
The beautiful, touching prayer, delivered by
the pastor, found an echo in every heart and
many eyes, at the conclusion of the services,
were wet with tears, as the members spoke to
the grief-stricken husband words of consolation
and hope.
Rally at the polls at the Court House.
Open till 6 o'clock. All of Frank Rice’s
friends should be there.
