Atlanta never saw so many catterpil

The street sweeper is a decided nuis

The church, since it has been newlv fitted up,
is one of the most convenient in the State, be

Tbe Second Yacht Race.
Associated Press to Capitol.
Highlands, N. J., August 11, 9:15 a. m.—
This was the day fixed upon by the American
Cup company for two of the series of the iter
national races, providing the sloop and cutter
each won one of the contests, but because of a
grand fizzle Thursday, the second race is the
event of to-day.
Just before sunrise this morning a heavy
mist hung over the bosom of the ocean, but
when the sun burst forth from the horizon the
fog began to disapper, and after half an hour it
was gone entirely.
Down here off the Navesink highlands, tbe
sea tumbling in and the surf very heavy, the
wind pretty stiff and puffy and the generally
placid bosom of Shrewsberry was somewhat
ruffled. By eight o’clock there was q«ite a fleet
of schooners standing down the coast making
most of the friendly breeze. They carry all
their sky-scrapers. Inside the hook the waves
are crested with foam. The race will be to
leeward and.down the Jersey coast. Tbe
weather is a little hazy seaward.
9:25 a. m.—The wind appears to be steadily
increasing. It is now quite heavy and this, to
gether with the tumbling sea, is just what the
Cutter people have been crying for. Mayflow
er’s supporters seem to be satisfied with any
kind of wind. Early this morning it looked
as though the day would be an excellent one,
but later on it became thick outside and dark,
threatening clouds began to roll up and possi
bly there will be a shower before many hours.
9:20 a. m.—The wind had freshened to about
23 miles per hour; race 20 miles to leewaid;
the yachts to turn stake boat opposite Ocean
Beach.
11:33—The yachts have gone about a mile
over the course; they are standing southeast,
position about same as when they started.
The Mayflower is about one-eighth of a mile
ahead.
Nbw Y*rk. 11:26 a. m.—Mayflower started
at 11:22-25; Galatea at 11:24-55; wind Westby
Northwest. 15 miles an hour.
11:48 a. m.—Mayflower appears to be leaving
Galatea, and is now a quarter of a mile ahead;
wind 18 miles, North by Northwest; weather
clear.
Nbw York, September 11, 12:17 p. m.—Tbe
yachts have gone about six miles over the
course, standing southeast. The Mayflower is
gradually opening the gap, and' is. marly a half
a mile ahead. Wind 15 miles northeast.
12:48 r. m.—The yachts have gone about U
miles over tbe course, still standing southeast.
The Mayflower is increasing her lead, and is
now nearly a mile ahead. The wind 19 miles
an hour west of northwest. Weather clear.
Destructive Fire.
Associate Pres, to Cxrrror..
Freehold, N. J. Sept. 11. —An extensive fire
is raging here. The principal business portion
of the town will probably be destroyed. Two
brick stores, Clark & Perrine and John Taylor’s
hotel, opposite the courthouse, has been de
stroyed. Fire department assistance is coming
from Long Branch, Asbury Park, Red Bank and
Matawan.
The town water supply is from cisterns. The
fire, origin of which is unknown. It started in
the Perrin store and John Taylor’s hotel, one of
the finest country hotels in New Jersey, and
was only rebuilt two years ago. The fire is still
spreading and will probably cross Main street.
A steamer and six horse carriages have left
Bordentown for here.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 11, 1886.
A DEAD LOCK-
IP TO TWO O’CLOCK NO NOMINA
TION FOR STATE SENATOR.
A Committee Appointed to Confer -
Cobb and Clayton Counties Op
posed to Bice.
The thirty-fifth senatorial convention was
called to order this morning at 11 o’clock, by T.
W. Glover, of Cobb county, chairman of the dis
trict executive committee.
The Cobb county delegates were J. L. Lemon,
John Reed, J. B. Alexander, and N. A. Morse.
The Fulton county delegates were Jas. W.
Harle, W. L. Peel, Green B. Adair, Henry Hill
ver, W. K. Booth, E. P. Chamberlin, I. S.
Mitchell, Zacu H. Cmith, L. E. Gwinn, Hooper
Alexander, J. W. Goldsmith and A. F. Lee.
The Clayton county delegates were J. B.
Hutchison and W. L. Watterson.
Mr. Henry Hillyer moved that Mr. J. B.
Hutchison, of Clayton county, be elected chair
man. Mr. Hutchison was unanimously elected.
John L. Reed, Jr., of Cobb, moved that J. B.
Alexander, of Cobb, act as chairman. Mr. Al
exander was unanimously elected.
The chairman stated the business of the con
vention was to nominate a Democratic candidate
from the 35th Senatorial district.
Mr. W. L. Watterson moved that the conven
tion proceed to nominate a candidate for Sena
tor.
The chair declared nominations in order.
Mr. J. B. Alexander, of Cobb county, said
that it has always been the custom to nominate
candidates by rotation. Fulton and Clayton
counties hare had the last two senators, and if
tbe time-honored custom was followed, a citizen
of Cobb county would now be nominated. The
delegates from Cobb come here, believing that
Fulton and Clayton would do their duty. The
speaken then nominated Mr. J. E. Mozly.
Mr. John L. Reed seconded the nomination.
Mr. Henry Hillyer took the flooran4 said that
Fulton county was willing to a division of the
Senatorial honors, but the population and the
amout of taxes paid must be considered. Cobb
and Clayton counties bare a smaller population
than Fulton county, and pay less taxes. It.
would not, therefore, be a fair system of rota
tion as suggested by Mr. Alexander. According
to a fair and equal rotation it is not Cobb coun
ty’s time to have the honors. The people of
Fulton county have come to the conclusion that
it is their time.
Mr. W. L. Watterson, of Clayton, rose to a
point of order and said the present discussion
was not called for.
Mr. Hillyer then nominated the Hon. F. P.
Rice.
Mr. E. Chamberlin seconded Mr. Rice’s non ■
ination.
On motion of Judge Watterson the vote was
taken by a call of counties alphabetically, and
if no nomination the names be reversed.
The cal! of counties resulted as follows:
Cobb county—Mozly 4.
Clayton county —Mozly 2.
Fulton county—Rice 6.
SECOND BALLOT.
Fulton county—Rice 6.
Clayton county—Mozly 2.
Cobb county—M- zly 4.
The third, fourth, fifth sixth, seventh, eighth,
ninth, tenth, and eleventh ballots were taken
without any charge.
At this point the majority rule was adopted
on motion of Judge Watterson.
The balloting then proceeded until the 22d
ballot was reached without any change.
Tbe convention then adjourned until 1
o’clock, the hour of twelve having arrived.
The convention reassembled at 1 o’clock. Up
to 2 o’clock 35 ballots bad been taken, and as
tbe Capitol goes to press a committee on con
ference is in session.
It is believed Rice will ultimately be nomi
nated.
CHILDHOOD DAYS.
A Case in Court firings Up Remines
eucesin the Judge’s Life.
“Hal Cornelius,” merrily sang out Clerk Car
lyle in the police court this morning.
And a strapping colored youth, who had sop
ped pot-liquorjand devastated corn dodge rs until
his years had run into the teens, waltzed up in
front of the auburned-haired judge.
“Hal,” sternly said the Recorder, and be
crossed his legs and shut out tbe
light from one of the windows with his foot.
“Hal, you are charged with twirling bits of
hard terrestial substances in tbe public thor
oughfares.”
“I hain’t done hit.”
“Where’s your pa?”
“Hain’t got no pa.”
“Where’s your ma?”
“Dere she is.”
“How old’s this boy?” asked the Recorder of
the woman.
“Five year old, Jedge.”
The Judge uncrossed his legs and entered a
fine of one dollar and costs, remarking
that he wasn’t an expert on the
ages of negro boys, but his goober patch could
go if the boy wasn’t fourteen years old.
“Now,” continued the Judge, “what that boy
of yours really needs is a good dose of hickory.
I have tried it and have had it tried. Boys will
be boys, but a little tanning is bound to do ’em
good. Whenever I speak of switches my child
hood’s days rush upon me. and—and —”
Tears gathered in the Recorder’s eyes,—mem
ory was too much for him, and the clerk waited
a few moments before be called the next case.
MAS HIRED OUT.
Miss Julia Calloway, the Lout Girl,
is Found by Her Parents.
Miss Julia Calloway, the young girl who mys
teriously disappeared from her parents’ resi
dence, on West Baker street, three or four days
ago, has been found.
Miss Julia started out to school Tuesday
morning last, and was seen no more. Her par
ents weae certain she was bidingout to keep
from attending school, and made every effort to
find her. Tbe police were notified, but her
whereabouts could not be ascertained.
This morning Professor Mitchell, of the Ma
rietta school, found Miss Julia at a house near
Bontb Bend, on the Peachtree road, and escort
ed her home. The girl had hired out as a ser
vant, and said she would rather do any kind of
work than attend school. She is fifteen years
of age.
The old styles must go, regardless of
price. Go to Estey Organ Co., corner

It has been nearly four years since Walter
A. Taylor put on the market a very large quanti
ty of his
“PREMIUM COLOGNE,”
In 6 ounce bottles to compete with Hoyt’s dol
lar size. The peculiar shape of the bottle and
the new glass stoppered dollar style of

making its appearance made this style unsale
able as a dollar article. I have recently pur
chased about three gross of this cologne trom
parties in Texas and St. Louis, and offer it at
FIFTY CENTS
