IHE CITIZEN’S WIN.
.JIIE FIFTK-JEIGHT TICKET
■ 'LI LAI w UR Lu J •
.All Bnt Three of the Citizen’s /
Ticket Win Ont.—The
Vote in the City.
The notorious ticket nominated by
the equally notorious committee of
5.S has bitten the dust. ,
Out of the entire list of jieandidates ,
nominated that contnittee but
three ate victors and the others are en
deavoring to swallow the bitter pill of
defeat
The fight was a warm one in every
ward in the city, but the people who ,
were supporting the citizens ticket '
were alive to the situation and worked
to win. ,
The exact returns from the different s
wards are not yet obtainable, but i
)he figures are accurate to such a de- z
gree that the result cannot possibly be j
changed, though a few majorities may r
be lowered.
Interest centered largely in the con
test for council from the Sixth ward
between Mr. Inman and Mr. Grata.
Owing to the wealth and prominence
of both candidates, opposition ran
high. Mr. Inman, however, wins by a
safe majority. In his own ward, the
Sixth, he beat Gress at the ratio of
a to 1.
Mr. Inman wm the nominee of the
committee of fifty-eight aud this fact
developed considerable opposition
against him but not enough to defeat
him.
The other candidates who won on
the star chamber ticket were John A.
Miller for council in the fourth and
Joseph Hirsch, aiderman from the south
side.
Mr. Hirsch beat his opponent, Mr.
Reneau by nearly 2 to 1.
Mr. Miller's personal popularity
carried the election his way by a ma
jority of nearly 1,000.
The defeat of Ed. McCandless for
city marshall was unexpected. His
friends, have been working for him
day and night and were confident of a
handsome majority, but the silent vote
proved a surprise to many candidates
who felt’sure that they were winners.
I One split which resulted disastrously
for the Chamber of Commerce ticket
was in the ranks of the Industrial
Council. The bolters led by Colonel
Albert Howell, knitted the fifty-eight
ticket and fought it tooth and nail.
The following are the figures up to
1 o’clock this afternoon. The returns
arc slow coming in and the consolida

afternoon:

Illegal Whisky Sellers in the
Third Ward.
Yesterday Drs. 11. L. Martin and J.
E. Summer, who run a drug store near
the voting booth in the third ward,
were arrested by Officers Hamilton and
dwarrett for running a blind tiger.
-r The arresting officers were detailed
to watch affairs in the third ward, and
during the day it became apparent that
some one was illegally selling whisky.
The drug store was spotted and a
man was sent with a marked quarter
to get a drink. He succeeded, and
later when Officer Hamilton went to
the drug stove and asked for change
for a dollar, he received >u return the
marked coin.
This was conclusive evidence, and
the two men in charge were arrested
and taken to the station house, where
they put up the necessary collateral to
secure their release until this a .ternoon,
when the case will be tried before lle
torder Calhoun.

■ No man ever lived In Screven county
mor* honored and respected, and died
more esteemed and lamented.
He was a kind, devoted husband, a
loying and affectionate father, a just,
generous and kind neighbor, a lasting
friend, a true ahd fearless patriot, and
an estimable, honorable, Christian gen
tleman.
To crown all ohis other virtues, he
was an honest, brave man—the noblest
work of God
He will ever be held in grateful and
affectionate remembrance for his gal
lant defense of the principles of re
form.
This patriot did not live to see the
principles for which he lived, -and
worked and died, carried into effect.
He Ilea dead upon the field of battle,
where his enemies shot him down. He
spent his blood that others might live,
but the principles which he fought for
and loved so well, will live on forever,
and just as sure as time itself those
principles will prevail.
When we think of this reformer,
spotleas and brave, as he spent his
blood for the principles which he pro
fessed ; then do we aa younger reform
ers, catch the swift inspiration of the
example; then do we ask to be knighted
on the same field by the dead hand of
him who fought so bravely; then do
we go forth with a zeal and determina
tion no discouragement can dampen,
no danger can daunt, no toil deter.
A thousand reformers spring up from
the example of this one ; a thousand
learn to love the principles which he
loved, and hate the tyranny and oppres
sion which he hated.’
We extend to the bereaved family
our deepest and heartfelt sympathy.
While theirs is an irreparable loss,
there is consolation in the fact that our
loss is his eternal gain,
“Yes, he is gone, but his memory
liveth;
He is dead; his example is here ;
The fragrance and sweetness it giveth
Will linger for many a year.”

Cobb county, to get the populist man
agers at the Marietta precinct. A#
soon m they discovered the intense in
dignation, that had been created by the
refusal of Judge J. M. Stone, the or
dinary, to permit Mr. Sibley to get a
copy of the registration list of that
district, after allowing him to sea aijd
copy the lists of all country precincts,
and by the action of Judge Gober in
the ipaucjamus procedings.
Mr. James L. Sibley, populist candi
date for the legislature and chairman
gs the executive committee, refused
most positively tq put or a manager,
declaring tjigt the democrats only
wanted the populists represented so as
tp cjivert the attention of the public
from the frauds that already existed
in the registration list bv saying, “you
had a manager, didn't he have sense
enough lb count the yotes?” A few
minutes before the polls opened the
populists of Marietta district told Mr
Sibley he must put on a manager, sa
they at least wanted what votes they
put in counted, and that the populists
would not vote unless he did so. Mr.
Sibley notified them if he did it, it
would be ovdr his protest Mr. Boling
Glover, a democrat, was unanimously
selected to represent them. The popu
lists made comparative!}' no effort to
solicit or challenge voters, contenting
themselves with obtaining evidence
against those who were buying and
selling votes.
A prominent figure around the court
house where polls were held was that
of his honor, Judge Geo. B. Gober,
though a heavy shower of rain coming
up about the time thn Atlanta Journal
reached Marietta, drove him out of
sight. Chairman Clay was in Marietta
from earlj- morning until dewy eve.
He worked with the desperation of a
man who saw his political grave open
ing before him. It is safe to say he is
snugly tucked in that grave today.
The fact that Cobb went for him.
1.200 in '92 and that in spite of the
outrageous frauds the "democrats can
only claim it now by 500 is an eye
opener to eyeryone.
The jiopulist will contest on the
grounds of illegal registrations, buy
ing and selling votes, not closing polls
according to law by sun time.

THE THIMBLE TRICK.
One beeuion on Which Three Sharpen
. Were Cleverly- Outwitted.
t In the early days the three card trick
«ot the national Institution it has
~nce become. The “gentlemen of the
kj th 3. t time used the three thini
f«ed
them by a well known
I will call Mr. Hunt. He was a London
money lender of great disrepute whom
some of iuy young friends hud dealings
with, and perhaps he resented that the
sovereigns which ought ty right to have
been bls found their way into these ras
cals’ pockets. At all events, he undertook
the (to him) unusual role of the guardian
of youth and public benefactor.
Mr. Hunt was a tall and powerful man,
but had the agile fingers of a conjurer, and
thimble rig was child's play to him. At
tired richly, with studs and chain and
with an agricultural cast of countenance,
his entrance into their compartment, was
gladly Welcomed by the three rogues. Aft
er a modest interval the thimbles were
produced, and he lost a pound or two.
Then pretending to be “pricked,” as tho
gamblers call it, he offered to bet- £25 that
he would discover the pea. The money
was staked on both sides and put up on a
vacant scat. Then Mr. Hunt said, after
an apparently careful inspection, ‘‘The pea
is there,” and there It was under the
thimble. Then he seized the bank notes,
crammed them Into his pocket and pro
duced a life preserver. “Whoever touches
me,” he remarked, “is as good as dead.”
The three sharpershad the sense to per
ceive that he was in earnest, and they were
also astonished and demoralized by what
they had witnessed, for nobody knew bet
ter than themselves that there had been
no-pea. Mr. Hunt also knew it. and had
brought one with him to supply the de
ficiency. They never troubled the Cam
bridge lino again.—James Payn In Corn

STONIES FROM THE SKY.
Historical and Traditional Accounts of the
Fall of Aerolites.
Every country and every age has its his
torical, semibistorical or traditional sto
ries concerning immense stones falling
from the sky, or, more properly, from
space. Lev! tells of a whole shower of
aerolites which fell on the mountains near
Rome In the year 654 B. C.
The Arundel marbles (marble tables
giving the events of the Grecian history
from 1582 B. C. to 624 B. C. in chrono
logical order) give an account of a great
stone which “fell down from heaven” at
JEogostaml about the year 467 B. C.
Pliny, whodled in the year <9 A. D., says
that in his time the “great air stone”
mentioned in the foregoing was still to bo
seen on the Hellespont, “and,” ho quaint
ly adds, “it Is even now of the bigness of
a wagon.”-
Since the opening of the present cen
tury there have Ixjcn several well attested
instances of falls of stone from the re
gions of space. In the year 1803 a perfect
shower of litho missiles fell in the farm
ing country adjacent to I’Aigle, France,
upward of 8,000 separate stones falling
upon a wedge shaped section of country
eight miles long by about four miles wide.
Aerolites, or “meteorites,” as they are
sometimes called, usually fall singly,
sometimes in pairs and less frequently in
showers, as was the case at New Concor
dia, 0., in 1860, when nearly 200 redbot
stones fell in a field in broad uaylight.
Up to Jan. 1, 1894, there had been be
tween 800 and 350 instances recorded of
stones falling from the unknown regions
outside of our atmosphere, and in eight
of these the fall was in the shape of “show
ers, ” three Individual missiles numbering
from 10 to 5,000 and of all sizes, from that
of an orange to immense blocks of strange
combinations of minerals weighing hun
dreds of tons.—Baltimore Herald.
German Pawnshops.
There Is a strange variety of pawnshops
In Germany. Wo find institutions under
public control working side by aide with
private establishments. The latter lend
lower amounts, but at a higher rate of in
terest, than the royal, state, ducal, county
and municipal pawnshops. In no case,
however, can it bo more than 24 per cent.
There are about 100 publicly managed
pawnshops in Germany. In Berlin, at the
Koniglichen Leihamt, and at tbo munici
pal pawnshops of Breslau, Munich, Ham
burg. Dantzic, Strasburg and many other
large towns, the interest is 12 per cent
The Berlin royal pawnshop pays 10 per
cent on its capital, and gives tbo surplus
every year to charitable purposes.
At Dresden the interest is 9 per cent, at
Leipsic 8 per cent and in some towns less.
The period for the loans ranges from three
to sixteen months. The interest is fre
quently on a graduated scale, being high
est on small pawns. Almost all the mu
nicipal pawnshops are connected with the
savings banks, and aro self supporting.
In most towns they advance loans on se
curities at 4or 5 per cent. There is great
elasticity and diversity about the German
system of pawnshops, but on the whole
the German leihans or pfandhaus does
npt compare favorably with the French
mont de picte.—Contemporary Review.
A Novel Proposition.
Said Charles F. Bitter, the Insurance
man, to a reporter:
“A funny thing happened in this office
today. A young man came in and said
that he wanted to get a tontine life policy
for $5 000.
“ 'How old are you?' said 1
“ ‘Twenty-nine,’ said he.
“ ‘Then it will cost you <152.50 a year
for 20 years. ’
‘“But suppose I pay it all up st once?’
“ ‘Then it will cost you $3,050, ’ said I.
“ ‘And how much do I get at the end of
90 years?’ said he.
“ ‘About $4,600,’ said 1
“ ‘Then I will pay my part at it In ad
viuice, and you pay yours in advance. I
will give yon $3,050, and you give me
$4,600. That’s fair, isn't it?*
“Now, there was logic for you,” contin
ued Mr. Ritter. ‘‘l had never heard such,
a proposition before and don't want to
again."—Cincinnati Tribune.
Be Kind to Everybody.
Be kind to everybody, everywhere and
under all circumstances. Stay kind things
to people and act kindly toward them
while they are living. How many have

and acts when their dear friends "ire taken
from them by death! If we have been
guilty of unkind words and acts in the
past, let us ask forgiveness and never de
so any more.—Exofiange.
