Anyone having an Item of personal mention or news happening, will confer a favor by handing It te one of fn Capitol staff, each of whom wears a silver sac Mmlle of the above signet* Second Edition. No city likes to boast of a large drug business. The deadlock in the senatorial conven tion this morning surprised somebody. Miss Julia Callaway, the young girl who mysteriously disappeared, has been found. Geronimo will not come to Atlanta, af ter all, but will be kept in prison at San Antonio. A correspondent has a word to say about “oil monopolies” in this issue of The Capitol. One of our reporters gives an interest ing interview with the principal of the Georgia Academy for the blind. An exchange calls the chief of the Apaches a maleficent being. That’s not his name—he’s called Geronimo. The Capitol deeply sympathizes with the management of the Sunny Bcuth in the loss sustained by the fire this morn ing. Church sociables are the order of the day—and a man can spend his small change in no better way than by patron izing them. The entertainment at Col. Howell’s residence last evening was u most Delight ful aflair. Our “society reporter” gives an excellent account of the evening’s en tertainment. In our local news columns an interview with an anti is given, which serves to show how this party regards the senato rial primary election. Atlanta never saw so many catterpil lars in all her life before. Nearly every tree jn the city is webbed over. Some of the old citizens say it means the coldest winter ever known. We will see. The street sweeper is a decided nuis ance. It raises a dust that enters bouses and not only ruins furniture but disturbs the rest of the inmates. Why not ar range a sprinkler to go before the sweeper. We hope the proper authorities will look into this matter. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The Dedication Service To-morrow to be a Memorable One. The improvements that have been made on the Church of Christ, on Hunter street, opposite the courthouse, have been finished, and to-mor row at 11 o’clock the dedication services will be held, conducted by the Rev. Thomas M. Harris, the pastor. The services will be memorable, and the con gregation promises to be one of the largest ever assembled in an Atlanta church on such an occasion. The church, since it has been newlv fitted up, is one of the most convenient in the State, be sides the inside work being costly and attrac tive. The public are invited to attend to-morrow.

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. Visible Supply. Associated Press to Capitol.

The attendance was large and the elite of the Hill city participated. The programme was entirely original, being a bur lesque in olden times in costumes, and the young ladies deserve a great deal of credit. The city is full of visitors. Business is on a boom. The Misses Reese, of Montgomery, daughters of May or Reese, are stopping with Major and Mrs. J. G. Yieser, on College street. Quite a number of Atlanta young men are liv ing in Rome. Rome is dead stuck on base ball. Rome has more pretty girls than any other city of its size in the State. Tks Capitol man got stuck on Rome and tbe Romans, and will pay her another visit in the near future. Crops are good and Rome will do a fine busi ness this fall. 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 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.

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.
