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.

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.

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.

On Tuesday eveding a tremendous efforts was made by the democrats of 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. Cobb. Our Augusta Office.

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.

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.
