UNION & RECORDER. Milledgkyille, June 8, 1886. It is generally thought that the oat crop will be short. The Others it is believed are doing well. The Maxwell ease, in St. Louis, has resulted in a verdict of murder. It will stand as one of the celebrated criminal eases of the world. The Augusta Chronicle says “the railroad will extend from Augusta to Chattanooga.” It has all the facts and we hope its declaration will be re alized. ^ Mr. James Barrett is also a candidate to represent the people of Richmond county in the Legislature. Mr. Bar rett is a clear-headed, strong minded man andff elected will make a sound and useful member of the Legisla- ture. The Democratic ticket in Richmond, Fa., met with an overwhelming defeat the municipal election recently.— The Independents have a majority of 12 on joint ballot in the Board of Al dermen. Petersburg went Democrat ic. The New York Sun is constrained to say: “There are a good many clev erer politicians than Grover Cleve land, but few men know better than he how to put in a veto where it will do the most good.” The President is not willing that the country should be robbed because of any fear lie en tertains of the “soldier vote.” Home Rule Bill.—London, May 29.—It is authoritatively stated this afternoon that Lord Hartington and N his whig followers have resolved to vote against the home rule bill when it comes up for the second reading, but that Chamberlain and his radical supporters have made up’ their minds to abstain from voting on that occa sion, thus insuring the success of the measure on its second reading. Death of Hon. John Kelly.—For many years Mr. John Kelly was a dis tinguished leader in politics in the city of New York, especially as the Tammany chief. At one time he rep resented New York in Congress. He tilled various offices in New York such as Sheriff and Comptroller. He was a man of strong will ability and hon esty. His health has been bad for some time. Those who knew him best admired him most. He died on the 1st inst. in his GTtli year. To Expel the Princes.—A bill has passed the French chamber of Depu ties to expel all members of families who formerly reigned in France from the country. The ground is taken that while they were permitted to re main under the belief that they would respect the national institutions, they have seized every opportunity to do injury to the public. The House voted for the bill and referred it to the bu reaus. Mr. Basley's proposal to con fiscate their property and endow with it a home foraged and distressed citizens was also referred. M. Guvot introduced a resolution to separate church and state. France is now a successful Republic and wishes to maintain it. Dr. Woodrow. The recent Presbyterian General Assembly at Augusta, decided that Dr. Woodrow, as an advocate of the doctrine of Evolution, heid views re pugnant to the word of God and to the Presbyterian confession of faith. Entertaining this opinion they recom mend to the Synods of South Caroli na. Georgia, Alabama, South Georgia and Florida to dismiss Dr. Woodrow from the Professorship which he holds in the Seminary at Columbia, South Carolina, and to appoint another in his place and to take such other steps as in their judgment will be best adapt ed to restore the Seminary to the confi dence of the church. If we are not mistaken it has been charged against Dr. Woodrow, that he advocated in his lectures to the students the doc trine of Evolution. The vote in favor of his dismissal was 65; against it, 27, some of these dissentients, while agreeing with the opinion of the majority, voted against dismissal upon the ground that it was unnecessary, and that the verdict is from a court which does not have or iginal jurisdiction. Some others vot ed against the recommendation sim ply upon the ground, that in their opinion, the Geheral Assembly has no authority to recommend Dr. Wood- row’s dismissal. Some others without giving their reasons for voting in the negative, declare that they fully agree with the majority in the opinion that Dr. Woodrow should be dismissed from his professorship in the Colum bia Theological Seminary. These parties constitute 13 of the 27 negative votes, and the inference is a natural one that the other 14 en tertain views similar to those of Dr. Woodrow, that man was in some way evoluted to his physical perfection. Bank Officers Elected. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Milledgeville Banking Com pany, on Wednesday last, the annual election of officers was held. Mr. L. N. Callaway, declined a re Home Rule.—Late foreign news of the 27th shows that Mr. Gladstone’s Home Rule policy is in the ascendant Many dissentients have come over to Mr. Gladstone. At the Westminster | meeting Mr. Gladstone was loudly ! cheered, and many came over who -elec i been holding back. The Home as president and ^ r -tr- T. Wiedenman j ^ u j will have a second reading, was elected to that office and Mr. B. T. j " ,, d - - Bethune was elected cashier. The following gentlemen were elected as a board of Directors; viz: G. T. Wiedenman, W. T. Conn, D. B. San ford, T. L. McComb, H. E. Hendrix, C. M. Wright and B. T. Bethune. Mr. Callaway, we learn has sold his stock to Mr. T. L. McComb and is no longer connected with the bank. This institution, from what we can learn, has done an excellent and safe business. Further developments are needed form settled convictions. to Mr. Blaine at Portland. The Mays Mansion Burned.—The handsome residence of Major Samuel Mays of Bel Air, Richmond county, Avas struck by lightning on Sunday evening the 30th of May. The report states that the house was struck in three places at the same time and was soon enveloped in flames, so that but a very small portion of its con tents was saved. Mr. Mays and some members of the family, who were seated upon the piazza, did not feel the shock, but Mrs. Mays and her son Crawford, who were in another part of the house, were so much stunned as to fall to the floor, but happily neither was seriously injured. The gentle men assisted by Col. M. P. Carroll, saved a portion of the elegant librarv which comprised the valuable collec tion of the late Governor Crawford and some books which, belonged to Wm. H. Crawford the great American statesman as well as Mr. Mavs’ own collection. The property was'insured for $9,000. The familv was taken charge of by Mr. and Mrs. Carrol and other neighbors during the night Hon. James G. Blaine recently made a long speech at Portland, Maine, on the subject of Irish Home Rule. He favored the policy with much ability, and his speech was greatly applauded. Ah Americans should applaud Home Rule. Indeed it is an approach to our American policy. Our states, Avhile united form ing a* great national government, act each one, for itself, upon the plan of Home Rule. Georgia is represented in congress for federal purposes, but has her Governor, Legislature, and county organizations, for Hometftule. England professes to be a free coun try under monarchical forms. Cana da and other dependencies have home rule, and it would be better for the prosperity of that country if Scotland, Wales and Ireland, had home rule. The Welch, the Scotchmen and the Irish can better comprehend their interests than Westminster. Each one should haA r e its own Parliament, or Legislature, subject to the consti tution of the realm. We believe the English isle would contain a better and more conservative population, and one that would add greater strength to the empire, if home rule were adopted for its great depart ments subject to the English constitu tion. The Southern Insurance Company. Marriage of President Cleveland. The President and Miss Frankie Folsom were married Wednesday ev ening at a little past 7 o’clock. It was a very quiet affair, no show, no dem onstration and no cards of invitation, except a few written notes by the President to a few close friends. This was very disgusting to Washington City butterflies of fashion, none of whom were present. Only three or four unmarried young ladies were on hand, and but two unmarried gentle men. The President and bride came doAvn the steps unaccompanied by any one—not even the brides’ mother, Mrs Folsom being in the parlor with other guests. As soon as Dr. Sunder land finished the ceremony, the com pany partook of luncheon, and while thus engaged the bride slipped aAvay to her room, changed her dress, the President did the same thing and at 9 o’clock the two quietly took a close carriage, were driven to the depot un attended and a special train took them to Deer Park, Md., where they will spend a day or tAvo. By 10 o’clock at night, all the guests had departed, and the whole affair was over with. A more quiet and sensible wedding could not have been arranged by any one. Candidates.—We have given to our readers the names of all the can didates in Richmond county, that we had seen announced for the Legisla ture, but those that we have since seen, namely, Mr. Calvin, and Mr. J R. Lamar. They are all gentlemen of capability. Richmond county will be well represented, let the election re suit as it may. A novel scene for America was en acted in Cummings, 111., recently. Two hundred women and children families of strikers, stood on the rail road track to prevent trains being run by fresh men. The Socialists Provide. deep tlieorv Home Rule. No special change in the aspect of this question. Mr. Gladstone is not despondent, while lie is sustained by able and good men of fine intellect and firmness of purpose, the ameliora ting prospectus in his aims in the question of Home Rule, rests niainlv on the strength of his virtues and tal ents. He has shown many thinkers in England, that hi/ is not a passionate and presumptuous innovation, but belongs to that class of legislative changes which emanci pates and regenerates without dis turbing the public safety and peace He meets with great opposition from men of ability, whose maxims of gov ernment are intimately connected •nr a T>tV ai T rule.

A very gratify ing report of the business of the past fiscal year was submitted, accompan ied by the announcement of the lar gest dividend in the history of the com pany—73 per cent. Mayor R. K. Reaves was elected a director to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Major J. W. Nicholson and Mr. C. G. Dorsett was elected to fill a vacancy at Savannah. The Southern Mutual is doing much to save to the people of Georgia the large premiums paid in other states to foreign companies, and its success should be a source of pride to our people. The dividend of 73 per cent will reduce insurance so low that any one taking out a policy has hardly any money to pay out. Messrs. P. M. Compton & Son, are Agents for this admirable Company in this city. We advise those who wish to insure, to consult them. Chicago, May 31.—A meeting with closed doors Avas held at the Socialists’ headquarters last night. Dr. Ernst Schmidt, Obermyer and others Avere present, and a plan for defraying the expenses incidental to the trials of Spies, SchaAvb and Fielder Avas adopt ed. A weekly per capita assessment Avas levied on the different “groups”, Dr. Schmidt being made banker Avith poAver to make all disbursements. :Yfter discussing the advisability of calling on Robert Ingersoll to aid the defence, and arriving at no conclusion the meeting adjourned. The adher ents Avill be notified of the le\ r y to-day. A Lucky Man. Loyd French, of Colesburg, A\ r as in town Wednesday and called at the NeAvs office. His good-natured face Avas enAvreatlied in smiles and “lie seemed just as happy as a big sunflow- er that nods and bends oil the breezes.” Loyd has just received $5,000 as the result of a $1 inA T estment in the April drawing of The Louisiana State Lot tery, and no wonder lie is happy. Mr. French says he lias drawn several small prizes in this lottery before, but had not bought a ticket for several years until January; since then he has a dollar in each monthly drawing, and the fourth time he hit it for an eyen $5,000. The number of his ticket was 11,545. Mr. French has a wife and fiv r e children, and is a man in moderate circumstances. The money he lias drawn in the lottery will put him square on his feet, and give him a start in the world.—Elizabeth (Ky.) News, May 1.

She Avas A'isiting Mr. and Mrs. Oberry at their turpen tine farm, thirty miles south-east of Lumber City. She was a sister of the latter. She was formerly a student of our college, and her many friends here will regret to hear of her sad death. On Tuesday evening Miss Martin, accompanied by her sister and a young lady, went to a blackberry, patch, about a half mile from the house, to pick blackberries. About sundown,?just as the party Avas ready to return home, Miss Martin cried out that she Avas bitten by a snake. Her sister ran to her, and, pulling off the shoe and stocking of the wounded limb, saw only a slight scratch as if made by a pin. She at once applied her mouth to the bite and tried to suck out the poison; but the limb began SAvelling at a rapid rate. She stopped sucking and taking her handkerchief tied it around the leg just beloAV the knee. In the meantime the young lady had gone to the house for assistance. In about an hour she was taken to the house where everythingi that was pos sible was done to relieve her. The swelling continued until her entire body Avas swollen all out of propor tion, and in fiv-e hours after the snake had fastened its fangs in her flesh she was a corpse. Her death was a horri ble one, and yet she Avas conscious up to the last moment. Her Avrithings Avere terrible to behold. THE ROYAL PERSONAGES MUST LEAVE THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE. Paris, June 1.—The Radicals and the government late this evening reached an understanding on the expul sion of the French Princes. The government promised the Bureaus of the Chamber of Deputies having the bills in charge, that the Count of Par is and his Avife and children and Prin ces Jerome and Victor Napoleon should be expelled immediately after the bill Avas passed. This Avas ac cepted as satisfactory and effected a reconciliation between the govern ment and Radicals, Avho will now vote for the Expulsion bill as intro duced b}- the government. The concession consists in naming the families against whom the bill would be enforced. At first the gov ernment promised generally that if the bill Avas passed the expulsions would be made immediately. This was considered by the Radicals eva sive, but the naming of the very fam ilies whom they ardently desire to have expelled, and against whom all their energies have been directed as those to be at once exiled, is accepted by the Radicals as a full equivalent for their support. The passage of the bill is considered certain. LOCAL AND BUSINESS NOTICES. The best oc., Cigar at the neAV drug store of Dr. T. H. Kenan. If you want the finest Cigar in the city.

Decided to be Gambling.—Savan nah, Ga., June 4.—In the city court to-day, an important case, under trial the past three days, Avas concluded. This was the case of B. R. Smith & Co.] of New York, vs. C. M. Cunningham of this city, action on a due bill for $7,000 for losses sustained in cotton speculation. The defendant put in five pleas, all of Avhich the jury deci ded against him, Avith exception of the last, Avhich, under direct charge of the judge, in accordance with a decision of the supreme court last January, resulted in the giving of the verdict in his favor. This plea was that deal ing in futures is contrary to laAv, and is a gambling transaction. This’is the second case of the kind that has been similarly decided in Georgia, the first being in Augusta, in which the defend ant was named Cunningham. Secretary Manning has tendered his resignation to the President who, instead of accepting it, advises him to take a leave of absence to recuper ate his health. After that is done, then the resignation might be consid ered. For This Week!
