UNION & RECORDER, Milledgeville, June 22, 1886. The president's salary is paid him in monthly installments—4,166.66 on the last day of each month. Warren comity voted on the guber- natorial Question last week and the result was in favor of Gordon. The Macon Telegraph of Sunday sums up the returns for delegates to tlie Gubernatorial convention as fol lows: Bacon, 54; Anti-J3acon, ""In his sermon on last Sunday, Dr. Talmage said that strong drink was the worst foe of labor—that it was the bag, full of holes, into which wages are put. Both tlie Senate and House have passed the bill giving $200,000 for improvements in Savannah. It re mains only for the President to sign it before becoming a law. Mr. Gladstone has addressed a very able letter to his constituents. It is criticised, favorably and unfavorably, according to the views of his friends and opponents. Bishop Joseph S. Key, now in Col umbus, will take his station in Texas and on the Mexican borders, in re sponse to flattering offers there. He will not leave Georgia before August. Tlie ill starred king, Ludwig of Ba varia who had been deposed, com mitted suicide on the 13th by throw ing himself into the Sternburg Lake. His physician who tried to save him was also drowned. (>n Friday Hancock voted in favor of Bacon bv a majority of '.>6, with two small precincts to hear from, which it was thought would increase his lead to a hundred or more. On the same day Brooks^ county is reported to have gone for Gordon. Secretary Lamar has accepted an invitation tendered him by the La- die^ association of Charleston S. C., to deliver the memorial address at the unveiling of the Calhoun monument next November. He will have a great subject. In bis day, Calhoun was the greatest Statesman of our Union. < >u Friday Tc-xas was visited by a terrible wind storm and great damage was done and some lives lost, especial ly at 1 )enton, Itaska, McKinney, Waco, Pleasant Valley, Pilot Point, Bloom- field and other portions of the State. The storm is regarded as the most serious ever known in that region. Serious troubles have occurred in Ireland between the Catholics and Protestants, caused by injuring the premises of a Catholic Bishop. Home rule will settle all these troubles so constantly occurring. It is shameful that Protestant and Catholic Chris tians should so outrage the princi ples of Christianity. i.. -re have been 204 students this year at the State University, 192 in the college and 1? in the law school; lss take the English course; 140Latin; 86 Greek: 134 Mathematics; 131 Histo ry: 51 Drawing: IT Engineering: 4 Ag- ricult-ure: 16 Laboratory; 49 Agricul tural Chemistry and 12 bookkeeping.

On Tuesday, in - St. Louis, warrants were issued for the arrest of forty- seven Knights of Labor, including Chief Advocate McGerrV and Secreta ry Nolan, for conspiracy to destroy the property of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company during the strike. The company says it intends to push these cases to the fullest extent of the law. _ < >n Saturday last, in the U. S. Court for this District, Judge Emory Speer, presiding, a case of public in terest came on to be heard. Several years ago. Geo. A. Cunningham brought suit against the old Macon A Brunswick Railroad, and the Commis sioners for tlie Slate of Georgia and its other agents, to foreclose a very large amount of mortgage bonds of the M. A B. R. R., and also to get judgment for the same. A demurrer was filed for the State, which was sus tained, and that decision was affirmed by the U. S. Supreme Court. The case is now before the court to get judgment against tlie Railroad, the State no longer being a party. It will be remembered that the 'State had endorsed bonds for the company, held the first lien on the Railroad, seiz ed and sold the same. It is now the property of the E. T. V. & G. Rail road. The case will be concluded Monday. C. N. West, Esq., appears for Cunningham, and Attorney Gen eral Anderson for respondents. The Dawson Journal says:*.Garland Statham eight years old visited his playmate, Frank Hester, of the same age. After playing a while they con cluded they would like to visit some friends in Stewart county, where they had enjoyed pleasant times. They reased Mrs. Hester to let them go un til becoming worried she said go along and let me alone.” The boys mistook the meaning of Mrs Hester’s words and immediately set out. “afoot and alone for Mr. Win. Overby,s, a dis tance of twer ty-five miles, where they were found the next day by Mr. St at bam and brought home. They mace the trip in about eight hours.”* Effectual destruction- of weeds— marrying a widow. As the friends of the candidates for the gubernatorial nomination seem to be organizing for the approaching contest in this county, it would seem to be proper that we should give our views on the matter. And in the first place we wish to say with proper emphasis, that we have nothinig to say against either ot the distinguished gentleman, wlio as- pire to the highest office in the gift ot the people of Georgia. Both have done the State good service, and m our belief are worthy of the confidence and support of the people. \> e are utterly opposed to the methods adopt ed by some of the friends of each ol the candidates; tha. is of trying to elect their own candidate, by mak ing reckless and slanderous cnarges against the other. If the charges which are so freely made against these gentleman are true, neither is worthy of the respect or confidence of any honest man. But we believe that either would make a fairly good gov ernor and we sincerely deprecate the unjust warfare waged against them by some of their opponents, who ar rogate to themselves the position of leaders in the Democratic party. The position of Baldwin county in the present crisis is somewhat pecu liar. There have been times in the past when her interests were hanging in the balance at the State capital arid more than once, the Hon. A. O. Bacon liais come to her belli on such occa sions and by reason of his high sta tion and ability as a speaker he has rendered her important services and perhaps secured her triumph in the contest in which she was engaged. The time has come when we can in a measure repay the debt of gratitude we owe him. * So if Baldwin county should determine, as we have no doubt she will, to send Bacon dele gates to the convention, it will seem to us a graceful and proper thing to do in view of the services he has ren dered to us in the past. The Telegraph’s Bread-Tray. Tlie Macon Telegraph of Sunday announces to its readers that the fa mous bread tray which it had sent to Mrs. Grover Cleveland as a bridal present, has been returned by express and it would seem, without a word of explanation, to ameliorate the shock that must have tingled in the nervous system of tlie surprised editor. Well, well! This world is full of surprises and disappointments and we can«*Jy tender our sympathy to our contemporary in this hour of gloom and blasted anticipations. The bread- tray that it was fondly hoped would hold an honored place among the rich a id costly gifts of the great and the v ealthy of the land, and finally go down to future generations of Cleve lands and be honored always as the gift of the great and good Telegraph, is ruthlessly rejected; cast down as it were from its hoped for “high estate” and doomed to be thrown “cheek by jowl” with the pots, pans and other utensils of a Georgia kitchen. “<>h! what a fall was there my country men.” The question arises why should the official bead of the great Democratic party so unceremoniously reject this novel but appropriate gift from a great and influential Democratic journal? Perhaps a perusal of the ed itorial remarks of the Telegraph upon this important and interesting matter when it first announced to the public that it had selected and forwarded the bread-tray to Mrs. Cleveland as its contribution to the list of .bridal.pres- ents, (as they are re-printed in {Sun day’s issue of that paper,) may throw some light upon this matter. It can not be denied that the article sparkled and scintillated with wit and humor and the editor wrote it in his best vein. But alas! People will misun derstand at times the jokes and witti cisms of their best friends and imag ine that they were intended to add to the reputation of the humorist wiiile holding up the recipients of their sup posed compliments to uncalled for ridicule and contempt. Nothing of course could have been farther from the intention of the Telegraph in sending Mrs. Cleveland the bread-tray and that article may yet have an use ful career in a less exalted sphere than that which it w as fondly hoped it was destined to adorn.

For sale in Milledgeville, by C. L. Case, Druggist. We sincerely hope that the young men and boys who indulge in the fas- cinating luxury of smoking cigarettes, will read and profit by the article we publish to-day upon the injurious ef- fects of the habit. It is one, we are convinced, that will have terrible re sults on many, if not all of those w ho persist in it. The statements made in the article are, we have no doubt, in the main, terribly true and the insid ious effects of the drugs are such that the smoker is made a helpless slave before he has any idea of his danger. . Hawkinsville Dispatch; Mr. Hardy Pitts, one of the sheep kings of the wiregrass, came in from Dooly county on Tuesday last with a portion of his wool clip of the season. He brought in nine bales, averaging 651 pounds to the bale, in the aggregate 5,865 pounds. The wool was thrown off at Anderson’s warehouse, and Mr. Pitts stuck the receipts Jin his pocket and asked the buyers to show up. Messrs. P. C. Clegg & Co. made him an offer of 21 cents per pound cash. After ward they raised the bid to 21.47 per pound, and Mr. Pitts sold it to Clegg & Co for that price. Atlanta Capitol: The crowds at the base ball park grow thinner daily. Quarreling, bickering and kicking don't amuse the public, and uuless something is done, base ball in At lanta has simply petered out. Wliat the trouble is it seems hard to say, biC trouble there is, and lots of it. Editor Cowles in the Cleveland Leader. The indifference of Congress in not fortifying our seacoast cities so as to protect them against tlie attacks of such formidable fleets as England can bring to bear against us is really as tounding. No wonder our foolish government has to suck its thumb and submit quietly to the insults Canada is heaping upon us. In case of hos tility, England could send on very short notice a fleet of thirty ironclads, and, by dividing them into five fleets simultaneously attack Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, compel all to surrender or pay a heavy assessment amounting to hundreds of millions, in order to avoid being bombarded. She could do this with impunity, because our obsolete, cast iron, smoothbore guns in our old-fashioned fortifications are no better than so many popguns against invulnerable ironclads. These ships could be anchored beyond the range of these old guns and cast shells eight miles over into Brooklyn and New York, thus compelling the authorities to pay an assessment of from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 in order to save those cities from destruction. I am indebted for these facts to Cap tain Lyle, of the United States^ Ord nance Department, who was a Tellow passenger of mine by the Gallia. He was sent to Europe to examine the process of manufacturing big guns and armor plates. He received a cold sort of courteous attention, and was allowed to look outside of their manu facturing works, but they declined to allow him to investigate tlie inside. The captain complains bitterly of this discourteous treatment, because of the great courtesy shown by our gov- erment to English and other foreign officers visiting our works. Minister West addresses a note to the War or Navy Department asking permission for officers of his government to visit or? works and arsenals, which is read ily given. When our officers as’c for similar privileges in Europe, especially in England, they are snubbed. To be plain, our government is verv green. Captain Lyle says the only salvation for our seacoast cities is big guns to prevent ironclads from coming within range sufficient to bombard our cities. Probably Fat- 0 1 Difficulty. News reached the city by the Bruns wick train on Wednesday night that B. tV". Furlong shot Church Broci at Sniff, on Wednesday morning, f The News and Advertiser was'una ble to get full and reliable particulars of the difficulty: but it seems that Fur long owed Brock some money, and that when the latter asked him for it on Wednesday morning hot words followed. Furlong cursed Brock, using very severe language, and when Brock started to strike him Furlong drew his pistol and shot him. The ball taking effect in the abdomen. One of the News and Advertiser’s in formants stated that Brock had a monkey-wrench in his hand, and an other said lie did not think lie had anything. We give both statements without knowing which, or whether in fact either, is strictly correct. It is thought that Brock will die. Furlong is well know in Albany, and Brock has been an engineer on the B. A; W. Railroad, but was run ning as fireman on a freight train on Wednesday. He is a Brunswick man, and was carried home on Wednesday. —Albany News. Died in the Asylum. Atlanta, June 19.—[Special to the Macon Telegraph.]—A telegram reach ed Atlanta to-day from Milledgeville announcing the “death of John W. Blackburn, of this city, who was sent to the asylum several months ago. The deceased during the local op tion campaign in Atlanta took much interest in the cause of prohibition. He gave his entire time to the cause, and day and night could, be seen on the streets electioneering in the inter ests of the prohibitionists. The in tense excitement of the campaign proved too much for his mental facul ties and they became unhinged. A few days after the election he was carried before Ordinary Calhoun on a writ of lunacy, and when an investi gation of his condition was made he was adjudged insane. He was then sent to the asylum, where he remain ed until the hour of his death. The deceased leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter, residing on Haynes street. His remains wiil reach Atlanta to morrow for interment. Mr. Black burn was a mechanic by profession. When the prohibition campaign open ed lie allignad himself with the prohi bitionists, and to his earnestness and zeal in the cause of prohibition, is at tributed his insanity. There is a possibility that the op posing candidates for Governor of Tennessee will be brothers, Bob Tay lor, who is a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination, bearing that rela tion to Alf Taylor, the Republican nominee. Both men are said to be pretty good men and to possess some ability. It has been hinted that the Republicans nominated Alf just to keep the Democrats from nominating Bob, and thus to neutralize the ex tensive influenee of the Taylor family in East Tennessee. ‘‘Hi Ponopey! what you ’fraid of ?

Augusta, Ga., June 16.—It has been discovered that there was consid erable mystery w r rapt in a large num ber of transactions in Central Stock of late and that parties in Augusta were largely interested. Calling at the of fice of Mr. John Day Cohen, a large dealer in Central, your reporter found Mr. Colien but and could obtain no information, but another broker was met in front of Mr. Cohen's office. When asked if there was not some thing going on in Central he gave a know ing smile and said that he was not in it if there was. On being close ly questioned he said there was, but that what he knew he was bound by secrecy not to tell. The reporter then went farther on the trail. He first met a prominent capitalist and when asked said, “Yes; I just learned in great secrecy that Dr. J. A. A. West was a candidate for President of the Central railroad,” and then he told of a gigantic scheme and of the amount of money involved, and of the man ner in which Dr. West and his friends were to get possession of the railroad. A prominent cotton merchant hap pened by and it was found out that it was no secret that Dr. J. A. A. West and Major T. P. Branch were openly trying to get possession of the Central for a number of English capi talists and that they were willing to give par if they could get even one- half of the stock, and that they had decided to make a proposition to the holders of the stock, the substance of which proposition is, that if the i>ar- ties will put their stock in bank for a limited length of time until Messrs. Branch and West can see if they can get a controlling interest, Messrs. Branch and West will give a contract to pay par for the stock if they get the necessary amount. And said the gentleman, “I would not be surprised we-e they to succeed.” Another gentleman when asked said: “Yes, I have heard of the sensa tion and I understand positively that the English capitalists are no other people than the Standard Oil Compa ny. You can readily see what a big thing it would be. Why,” said he, “suppose for a little over three and a half million dollars the entire control of the system could be obtained with all the leases it owns. It would be a tremendous bargain and would really be getting tlie stock of the Central for 50 cents on the dollar, for after they get the Central why they need not declare a dividend for twenty years.” Another stock dealer was seen and said that there was a scheme of a dif ferent nature being put into shape, by which the control of the stock was to be obtained. Meeting a trustee of the Richmond Academy, where Dr. West holds a professorship, the re porter asked if he knew anything of the sensation. “Y r es,” said he; “I have just heard that Dr. West will be a candidate for the presidency of the Central, and it is more than probable, I hear, that he will get it.”—Constitution. Like King Ludwig. A POPULAR DEATH AMONG THE AN CIENTS—FEW MODERN INSTANCES. From the New Y'ork World. There have been comparatively few instances of suicides among the occu pants of the thrones of modern times. The most recent case was that of Ab dul Aziz, sultan of Turkey, who killed himself in June, 1876, by opening the veins of his arm with a pair of scissors. His subjects had rebelled against him, and the council of ministers had de termined to remove him and appoint his nephew, Murad, as sultan in his stead. In 1868 Theodore, emperor of Abys sinia, is said by some authorities to have shot himself, while others assert that he was killed in battle by the British invaders. On October 8, 1820, Henry Chris- tophe, king of Hayti, in order to pre vent himself being taken prisoner by the insurgents, who had gained the as cendency in the island, shot himself through the heart. Charles VII, king of France, prob ably inherited a taint of insanity from his father, and the latter part of his life w'as embittered by monomania, manifesting itself in the apprehension that his children had conspired to poison him. Under this apprehen sion he refused food for seven days, and died of starvation near Bourges, July 22,1461. Concerning the death of Richard II., king of England, there were at the time various conflicting reports, and there has continued to be a differ ence of opinion among historians. Walsingham, Otterboume and Peter of Blois say that he also starved him self to death. There is a certain par allel between the case of Richard II, and that of Ludwig II. Both were weak characters, both were deposed in behalf of stronger aspirants to pow er, both were shut up in a castle for safekeeping and both were reported to have committed suicide. In the case of the English king, however, the weight of the evidence perhaps favors the theory that some interested per son assisted in his taking off. Among the ancients it appears that suicide was rather a popular form of death. Many of the philosophers ad vocated it as an honorable and conven ient method of ending existence, and gave a certain pertinence to their teaching by putting it in practice themselves. Among the long list of the rulers of antiquity who died by their own hand are Nero, Cleopatra, Dido, Boa- dicea, queen of the Iceni in Britain; Otho, of Rome, Ptolemy, of Cyprus; Mithridates, of Pontus; Saul, of Israel; Raineses the Great and Sardanapalus, of Assyria, who burned himself in his palace with liis wives. “Is your son going to become a farmer?” asked Mrs. Blank of Mrs. Oates. “Why, lor’ bless you, no,” replied the latter. “My son is a gradu ate of the State Agricultural College, and has no intention of adopting such a profession.” i House Caves in and Tumbles Corpse and Mourners in a Heap. Savannah, Ga., June 17th.—This afternoon during the funeral ser vice of Abram Matthews, a worthy colored man, the residence on Y'ork street, a room in which tlie service was being held, caved in with a tre mendous crash, causing great con sternation amongst the assemblage. Some of them jumped through win dows and others through doors, while some sank with the giving floor. The coffin tumbled from the stools and fell among the struggling mourners. Great excitement pre vailed for a time; but order was final ly secured, and the pall-bearers re entered the house, extricated the coffin from the debris and transferred it to the hearse. The cortege then proceeded to Laurel Grove cemetery, where the funeral services were con cluded. It is miraculous how the people escaped being seriously hurt, but none received injury beyond slight bruises. The house was only about three feet from the ground; otherwise the result might have been more serious. The accident collec ted an immense crowd in the vicini ty, and the negroes regard it as be tokening some terrible calamity. Spalding Goes Wet. CIGARETTES.

When the prohibition party saw that over two thousand voters had been reg istered, they felt that they had a big tight before them, and they went to work with a will and activity sel dom seen. The young men especially fell into ranks, and worked like vet erans. Last night was a busy one at both headquarters. Suppers were spread for the colored voters, and speeches and music entertained them until a late hour. Most of tlie colored voters remained all night. on the ground. The prohibitionists marched from their headquarters at four o’clock and took charge of the polls. In about a half hour the anties came marching dowrn, and then both lines stood until sevea o'clock, when the polls were open. The colored prohibitionists voted first, and then made way for the anties. Nearly every colored voter was challenged, but took the oath and voted. x\t 11 o'clock th Men's Prohibition club, one hundred strong, headed by the silver cornet band, marched to the polls. There were many ladies on the route w T ho v'aved their handkerchiefs and cheer ed the boys as they passed, but the anties were too strong. The colored voters were almost solid for whisky. • THE RESULT IS WET. The returns are all in, and the an ties have 245 majority. The election will be contested, and the prohibition ists claim that they will throw out enough illegal votes to give them a nice majority. The anties have noth ing to say as to what the result w r ill bo on a contest. The negroes are pa rading tlie streets, singing and hal loaing o\ e. their victory. There was not a single fight or disturbance of an ' kind during the day.—Constitu tion. The Augusta Female Female College. made by phvsi cians concerning the evil consequent of the habit. The smokers say that their cigarettes are made of the -‘pur est Virginia”, but if they want to know what this “purest Virginia’' is they should read what a large manu facturer of tobacco recently said to a New Y'ork reporter: “The quantity of drugs used in ci garettes is appalling” he declared “and the commonest of these is vale rian and tincture of opium. “An experienced tobacconist can de tect the presence of valerian by the smell. The drug imparts a sweet soothing effect, that in a little time ob tains a fascinating control over the smoker. The more cigarettes he smokes the more he desires to smoke just as is the case with one who uses opium. The desire grows into a pas sion. The smoker becomes a slave to the enervating habit. “By the use of drugs it is possible to make a very inferior quality of tobacco pleasant. They are put upon the market at such a price that the poorest can easily procure them, and boys go in swarms for them.” “What is this Havana flavoring that is so much used ?” “It is made from the tonca beau, which contains a drug called mellolo- ! tis, a deadly poison, seven grains be ing sufficient to kill a dog. It has be come quite an article of commerce, and is extensively used in tlie manu facture of cirgarettes;” “Does the paper wrapper of a ci garette add a great deal to its inju riousness?” “Certainly. There are three sorts of paper in common use, made respec tively from cotton, from linen rags, and from rice straw. Cotton paper is made chiefly in Trieste, Austria, and the linen and rice paper in Paris. The first, manufactured from the filthy scrapings of rag-pickers, is bought in large quantities by the manufacturers, who turn it into pulp, and subject it to a bleaching process to make it presentable. “The lime and other substances us ed in bleaching have a very harmful influence upon the membranes of the throat and nose. Cotton paper is so cheap that a thousand cigarettes can be wrapped at a cost of only two cents. Rice pa per is rather expensive. Tobacconiz- Young) ed paper is manufactured. It is common paper saturated w r ith tobacco in such a way as to imitate the veins of the tobacco leaf very nearly. It is used in making all-to bacco cigarettes. Arsenical prepara tions are also used in bleaching cigar ette papers, and oil of creosote is pre duced naturally as a consequence of combustion. The latter is very injuri ous to the throat and lungs, and is said,to accelerate the development of consumption in any one predisposed to the disease.” This institution is intended to fill a need long felt in Augusta. Our pub lic school system is a good one and is accomplishing nobly the purpose for which it is intended. Of course, all persons understand that the public school is not intended for the high er education of our youth. The above institution will in no way interfere with our public or private schools, as we are assured that its ob ject is the higher education of ou> girls. -Especial attention will be given to art, music and the modern languages. The literary department will be fully up to any similar institution in the country. Prof. Ira J. Willard will have charge of the instrumental music and Mrs. Willard of the vocal music. Fancy needle-work and embroidery will be taught by a competent artist. Painting, drawing, crayon work—in fact, all pertaining to art.will be in troduced. We are glad to know that Augusta is to have a school where onr young ladies can complete their education and not be compelled to go elsewhere. We have long realized fhat a finishing school for young ladies could be main tained in our city. The wealth, refine ment, culture and fine geographical position of Augusta render her espec ially adapted to be the seat of a fine female institution of learning. The President comes highly recom mended as a teacher of fine ability and a gentleman. We feel sure that with the fine corps of teachers—specialists—which we understand he has selected, the school Avill prove a success. We be speak a liberal patronage and trust our people will encourage the estaV lishmeflt of an institution so long needed.—Augusta Chronicle.
