Atlanta. ifcX I. VOL. VII. Today’* Issue, .... 6,000 Actual Number Subscribers* - 5,625 Bach of The Capitol staff wears a silver sac simile of above signet News information appreciated. SECOND EDITION. Georgia cities til seem to be infested with burglars of all gretiex, jn»t now. Havana is getting worked up over the small pox. There have been 1,500 cases in that city lately. _______ The Piedmont fair will not only be two weeks long, but every arrangement is being made so that it will be nearly twice as long as the ordi nary two-weeks’ fair, for it will be open day and night up to ten o’clo'ck, the grounds being light ed with electricity. The elite of Boston, including Mayor O’Brien and the city councilmen, were assembled to gether in one of the fashionable theaters of the esthetic hub on last evening to witness the cer emony of presenting the great and growing John L. Sullivan with a golden belt, on which was inscribed “Champion of Championß.” Coun cilman Wall presented the belt. It was probably best for Councilman Wall that it was not a belt across the eye that he was detailed to present to the big-fisted gentleman of the slugging profession. One of Atlanta’s beautiful society girls star tled her friends by announcing that she never pitied any one in trouble more than she does Woolfolk, especially if he is guilty of the crime charged against him. She explains her rea son for pitying him, and denies all charges of hero worship, so common among the butterflies of fashion in New York and other large cities, in the following logical and original way : Woolfolk, if guilty of the crime, is suf fering the worst punishment possible to man from within himself as he lies in his cell. No torture could be worse than self-communion to such a criminal, no matter how stolid and case-hardened he may be. But if innocent, he is an object of jtity, of course, as he is also if any possible mental derangement renders him unaccountable for the terrible and unnatural crime. This is a new light to put it in and seems worthy of consideration. Perhaps after all the worst punishment and the surest justice could be meted out to Woolfolk by leaving him fora time to suffer the torture of his own little internal “hell on earth,’’ which of course is intense, or otherwise, according as he is guilty, innocent or unaccountable. It has been reported that Mr. James W. Harle, of this city had gone to New York to live hereafter. Mr. Harle is probably the most brilliant and successful financier ot his age in the South. He has a cool and brainy head, and a mind that works accurately and at the same time with lightning rapidity. He is not only a desirable citizen because of his business quali fications, but public spirited philanthropic, benevolent, charitable, and in spite of his bril liantly successful career, he has not caught the big head a bit, but is the same plaine Mr. Harle> the unassuming gentleman that he always was. He is president of the Atlanta Y. M. C. A., and it is largely due to him that the city is soon to be blessed with that elegant building at the corner of Wheat and Pryor streets, as a home for Y. M. C. A. work. He is also at the head of many other enter prises of public interest in Atlanta, and The Capitol takes pleasure in stating that he will return to Atlanta after recruiting at the North for a few weeks, and will resume his daily walks here in the Gate City as before. He is now vis iting at the North with the family of his brother in-law, Mr. John H. Inman, who created such a sensation in Wall street last week by his big purchase of Georgia Central railroad stock, and we venture to say that Mr. Harle had a word in that matter, if the truth were known. The Piedmont fair will soon be upon us, and it bids fair to be the biggest thing that ever struck Atlanta. The managers are thoroughly in earest about their work and hardly a day passes but that some master stroke of business enterprise in connection with the arrangements adds new brilliancy to the affair. It will be an exposition of the first magnitude and although gotten up and carried through by local men and local money and influence, will be a nation al affair in points of interest and importance. Now then comes the suggestion to Atlantians and all interested in Atlanta that inasmuch as we shall be visited next fall—inside of two months—by the greatest number of strangers that have ever entered the gates of our city. We should see to it that our house is set in or der to receive our guests. Afterthought is not so good as forethought, and a little of the latter would suggest that a few minor details in city improvements be completed that will add more to the appearance of the city than some of the greater projects. The recent painting of the engine and hose reel house of the fire department, on Broad Street, has made an enormous improvement, not only to that building, but makes the whole of Broad street show up a hundred per cent, better. Captain Joyner has acted with forethought. Let other jobs of the kind be done. Let the broken sidewalks on some of our prominent streets be fixed, and little pieces of walk be laid where needed; let our shade trees be pruned; let individual property holders improve the looks o their property; let the railroads lay nice, new plank crossings over the road crossings of our principal streets, let Wall street be paved with out fail; and what is the reason the union depot cannot be brushed up and cleaned up a’little so as to attract the of arriving strangers. All this and much more might all of it be easily accom plished and the beneficial results would be in estimable. THE HERALD CUP. SACHT RACER—VOLUNTEER LEAD ING AT LAST ACCOUNTS.

SHOVING THE QUEER. Passing a Counterfeit Bill Gets Jim Bone into a Jug. Jim Bone is the name of the white man who walked into the store at 75 Decatur street last night and wanted to look at a pair of pantg. The clerk showed a pair of pants that suited the eye of the purchaser. Bone gave the merchant in part payment s two-dollar bill, which proved to be counterfeit. The merchant had him arrested and confined in the station house. Some of Bone’s friends found out the trouble he was in, and they made the amount of the bill good to the merchant he purchased the pants from. The merchant then discharged the proceeding he entered against the wan f,nd he was released from custody. POLICE PICKINGS. A Number of Fines Imposed on Law Breakers This Morning.

Pith of the News Condensed from Uast Night’s Dispatches. The annual mee ing of the Chatauqua Assem bly association, at Jamestown N. Y., broke up in a row between the authorilities of the cottage holders. It was agreed, after considerable squabbling, to permit cottage holders to vote; but no proxies would be accepted. A. C.

You just ought to see the crowds look in upon the unusual dress in the show window of Kenny & Jones, on Whitehall street. The attraction is one that commands the attention of the stronger sex, and jonsists of several hun dred magnificent samples of “fall and winter 1887” imported piece goods, which have been purchased by Mr. Jones, cf the firm who has been in New York for the past several weeks selecting the very latest, nobbiest and finest stocks of imported suitings for the fall and winter trade that ever entered through the gates of Atlanta, and which are now “Happy on the Way." Mr. Jones brought along with him ten pieces of most hand some and novel designs. The firm stands among the foremost merchant tailoring concerns of Atlanta, and has been and is preparing to still keep doing one of the finest if not altogether the leading business in the city. Thefiovers of fine dress will await the arrival of t iese goods with pardonable impa tience. Wanted—Boy to carry Elliott street route. This office. A Danger Signal. Atlanta has no understood danger signal which could be used for the purpose of assem bling police and military or citizens. The se curity of the city in the past from riotous demonstrations has rendered such signals un necessary. But it is safe to rest in the fancied security until occasion requires immediate use of something of the kind? As an instance, Tom Woolfolk is confined in Fulton county prison for safe keeping. Sup pose that a crowd of Macon men should con clude to lynch him. They would probably alight from the train somewhere in the suburbs and go quietly to the jail without disclosing their presence or the object of their visit. It would be but the work of a moment to overpower the reg ular guard and then, unobstructed by human resistance, force an entrance. No alarm could be given. No assistance procured. That which might be prevented by the presence and assistance of a dozen police men is accomplished simply because there is no wav of calling them. The authorities should look to this and estab lish some system whereby an immediate alarm could be sent out and a general notice of im pending danger given.

An Excursion Train Goes Down With Its Human Freight—Doctors Hurry to the Scene. ASSOCIATED TRESS TO CAPITOL. Chicago, August 11.—It is reported that an excursion train on the Toledo, Peoria and War raw railroad, went through a bridge at Chats worth, 111., late last night and one hundred peo ple killed sod injured. The train consisted of 14 oars and was en route to Niagara Fall*. A relief train with 24 doctors has gone from Peoria to the scene of the accident. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Chicago, 111 , August 11.—A despatch from Chatsworth says: The train left Bloomington last night for Niagara Falls on the Illinois Central. The intention being to go by that road as far as Chatsworth and from thence by the way of the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw. The change was made at Chatsworth, in Liv ingstone county, and soon afterward, as the train neared Piper City, a small town in Ford county, the bridge crossing Vermilion river gave way, plunging the engine and several cars down the steep embankment into the stream. The cars caught fire from the lamps and a fear ful panic ensued. On investigation, it was found that nearly one hundred excursionists were killed or injured. The conductor of the Chicago and Alton pas senger train, which has just arrived from Bloom ington, where the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw and the Chicago and Alton railways con nect, learned from one of the conductors of the first named road, that an accident had occurred near Piper City, a small station east of Chatsworth. The excursion train, while on a bridge naar Piper City, came into collision with another train. The cars of the excur sion train were piled up upon each other, and in the frightful confusion and from the shock of the collision the bridge gave way and several of the cars were precipi tated into the stream. The conductor says that the killed numbered between 40 and 50, and the injured are more than twice that number. The accident occurred some time between mid night and 4 o’clock this morning. STILL LATER. Chicago, August 11.—The information re ceived at the Illinois Central office in this city is that the train consisted of two engines and sixteen coachesa. The culvert had been burned away about two miles east of Catsworth, pre sumably by prairie fire and about one o’clock this morning engines and coaches went over, over. The agent at Chatsworth reports to Gen eral Manager E. P. Jeffrey, of the Illinois Cen tral, that over one hundred are killed and about a like number injured. He can give no further particulars. Two Peoria gentlemen who had intended to take the fated train reached Chicago this morn, ing, having at the last moment selected another route east. They say the train was made up at Peoria, so that probably the majority of the vic tims are from that city or its immediate vicinity. Twelve cars started from Peoria, including four sleepers. Attached to the train was the private car of the superintendent of the road, which was to be occupied by himself and son. The departure from Peoria was at 7 p. m., and the intention was to take on another coach filled with excursionists at Bloomington. Then the run was to be by way of Logansport, Indiana, and Detroit. The program seems to have been fully carried out until the great throng of pleasure-seekers met such a fearful check at the bridge over the Ver million river. Among the victims the following have so far been identified: Mrs. Zimmerman and a babe be longing to Joe Neal, Peoria. Among the injured are: J. E. Dechman, Peoria, slightly; Miss Pearl Adams and Miss Kitty Welch, Peoria, ribs broken; Robert Zim merman, Peoria, badly hurt; Miss May McVoy, Peoria, badly hurt; Mrs. Joseph Neal, Peoria, leg broken; O. A. Parker, Peoria, seriouslp hurt; Wallace Robinson, Peoria, and Mrs. I. W. Grant, Peoria, dangerously. Use the surest remedy for catarrh Dr. Sage’s. Woolfolk’. Condition.
