UNION-RECORDER.
Mu.uuxnTxj.LB, Ga., April 1, 1890.
BiitorUl Glimpses and Clippings.
Chief Justice Puller’s friends in Chi -
cago commend his stand in refusing j Mh], Fry. a year or so ago,
to part with his mustache.
Prom Atlanta to Savannal,
VIA MILLEOCEVILLE.
The papers of Atlanta, and of Ma
con, are noticing at some length, the
scheme of an “Air-line Rail Road,”
from Atlanta to Savamiah. This is
a revival of the Road to be built by
, Maj. Fry. a year or so ago. Atlanta
makes anything possible and practi-
>• able, wheuever she determines upon
Hon. Joshua Hill of Morgan county the matter. Anil if Atlanta is deter-
was reported to be quite ill on Fri- mined to have this independent line
day last. He is an old man, nearSO | of road to a seaport, it will be a real
years of age.
There will be a grand military Prize
Drill, at Jacksonville, Fla., beginning
April 7th and continuing six days.
The inter-State prizes are, first,
$2,000; second, $750; third, $250. Ca
det prize, $300.
The intelligence of animals became
one of the subjects of discussion at a
ity, and that quickly. Milledgeville
is awake, and is showing some activi
ty, in looking after her interest in
this projected Road. This City is in
the “Air-Line” from Atlanta to Sa-
vaunah. On a rail road map before
us, we have placed the “square,” the
line drawn from Atlanta to Savannah
touches Milledgeville. This line will
run through those sections of Raid

have one.” College in the State with 450 pupils in
attendance is here. The State's “In
dustrial School” is established here.
What more desirable place could
a Railroad move for, or carry the
citizens of the world to? The Hoard
of Trade have the building of this
Road under consideration; and are
making an earnest effort to place our
claim in its proper light before the
projectors and the builders of the
Road. In a full meeting of the mem
bers of the Board of Trade on the
25th inst., a committee, consisting of
Messrs- T. IS. White, S. Barrett and
G. D. Case, were instructed to invite
Mr. E. C. Machen to our city, and
Hon. Thomas G. Lawson, of Ea-
tonton, publishes a manly card in the
Constitution, announcing that he is
a candidate for Congress in the 8tli
District. He says at the proper time
he will speak at all points of any note
throughout the district, and will give
his views on all public questions.
President Harrison likes a good ci
gar, and smokes one after luncheon
and another after dinner, f he ladies
of the family do not have to with
draw when he enjoys his treat. Mrs.
Harrison does not dislike the aroma
of a good cigar, although she is like were further instructed, to confer
Mr*. Cleveland in detesting the odor with Mr. Machen and learn what is
to be done on the part of our people
to aecure this Road to our city. We
do not yet know what is required of
our citizen* to Induce the builders of
tb* Road to touch Milledgeville. But
wa think we can safely say, that
whatever should be required of us,
of a cigarette.

There seems to be just now a migh
ty railroad boom in Georgia. Roads
are either being actually built,
or being projected in every direction,
North, South, East and West. Our
State will soon look like a spider’s
web, without the symmetry and per
fection that is ever to be found in the
silvery threads of the insect archi
tect.
From all accounts we have seen of
it, the speech of Col. Livingston at
Chautauqua, on Alliance Day was in
bad taste and worse temper. Ca'ling
such men aB “Pat” Walsh a deliber
ate “liar,” atid 'a man like Sid Lewis
of the Ishmaelite, a “sneak” and a
“skulk,” is not calculated to make his
pathway to the Executive Mausiou
smooth or prosperous.
Earnestness is not always evidence

A senator is even criticised for mak
ing his son his secretary. “A mer
chant can place his son in his store,”
Mrs. Vance sa>>, “and a professional
man can take his sou as his partner,
but m senator is severely criticised if he
makes the least attempt to aid his
children. Consequently therearefew

Washington after they reach the age
when they should take cure of them
selves.”

This is likely to he one of the most
noted gatherings of the present cen

done more in proportion to their num

Tlie youngest military officer in the

quested to issue a commission as first

is asked for in
many places, and that subscriptions
are a secondary consideration.
The object of Colonel Machen’s vis
it to Sandersville was to get our peo
ple interested and to find out wheth
er or not right-of way could be se
cored in and through Washington
county. He said lie did not ask nor
want one cent’s subscription for the
road; all he desired was the right-of
way and the good will of the people.
He stated that Ills intention is to
build tlie Middle Georgia and Atlan
tic directly to Sandersville, cross the
Central at or near Sun Hill, and
from there proceed to Savannah. He
made this announcement in honesty
and good faith, and hoped Sauders-
ville and those portions of the coun
ty that would be benefitted by the
road will generously aid him.
Mr. Charles G. Rawlins went
through the lower part of the county
yesterday for tin* purpose of obtain
ing rights of-way, and several gentle
men will go over the entire coun
ty this week on the same errand.

LATEST FROM LOUISVILLE.
Tcltgiains to the Macon 'telegraph of
yesterday, under date «f March :k)th. says
that ninety-four bodies have been loeover-
,ed at Louisville, Ky. The 'seriously in
jured, alter close estimate, are put at 125.
Snow began to fall at 4 p. in . Saturday,
which melted fast and exposed goods had
to be covered with tarpaulins, but with
this help, thousands of dollars wortli of
valuables will be lost. Funeral proces
sions were numerous on Saturday, many
conducted with masonic and military
honors.
Good Excuse.
Judge William Louis Kelly of the
district court, says the St. Paul Pio
neer Press, is acquiring a reputation
for wit on the bench. A young law
yer in the German-American Bank
building tells the following:
Various jurors were waiting before
the judge, as is the custom at every
term of court, to be excused from ser
vice. A meek-looking man came up
in his turn and asked that he might
be let off.
“You can’t get off without a good
excuse,” said the judge.
“I have a good reason.”
“Y'ou must tell it or serve,” said the
judge.
“But, your honor, 1 don’t believe
the other jurors w ould care to have
me serve.”
“Why not? What’s your excuse?”
“Well—1—” (hesitating).
“Wlial is it?”
“I've got the itch.”
“Mr. Clerk,” said Judge Kelly 7 ,
quickly, “scratch that man out.”
Do not bo afraid to pull out a few
plants where they are too thick.
1 lants will grow stronger and larger
and ripen better if thinned. Cabbage
w’lll head better, potatoes, onions,
etc., will grow larger and nicer,
tomatoes will fruit better, and the
fruit will not rot so much. Every
advantage is to be gained by keeping
all plants, fruits, vegetables eto.,
properly thinned out.
TORNADO-SWEPT CITY.
Louisville, Ky., Filled With the
8t orm’s Victims.
Louisvillk, March 28.—The torna
do struck Louisville at 7:50 o’clock.
It entered the southwestern portion
of the city at Eighteenth street, and
swept a path five blocks wide, diagi-
nnaly, reaching out in a ragged
line to Seventh street leveling
every building in its path, probably
2,500 houses. A rough estimate puts'
tlie killed at 500, with 1,000 injured.
Tlie city is filled with a crazed mass of
people wildly seeking friends.
The cyclone was preceded by a sig
nal service bulletin yesterday after
noon, but no heed was paid to its
warning. The cyclone came with
scarcely a warning sound, and, in all
the buildings struck, the inhabitants
were engaged in their usual avocation.
Tlie district laid waste comprises an
area of the city three miles long and
nearly half a mile wide.
K8TIMATKD LOSSES BY THK DISASTER.
A board of trade meeting held this
morning authorizes the statement
that there will he no call for aid from
outside. The property loss is estimatd
at $500,000 to $1,000,000. The deaths
will number 150.
T1IK STORY OF A LODGK MAN.
A thrilling experience whs that of
George H. Capita of 1431 Stewart, ave
nue, who was present at a meeting
of the Jewel Lodge No 2, Knights
and Ladies of Honor in their lodue
room on tlie top lloor of tlie Falls
City Hall, when the building collaps
ed. He says: “The first intimation
of danger we lmd were two distinct
rockings of the building, about which
time a dormer window in the Lodge
room was blown from its casing. Im
mediately after the plastering begau
to drop from the ceiling. A wild rush
was made for the ante-room, which
carried me with it, and 1 had just
reached the door when the entire floor
gave way and we were preoipitated
to the basement, blinded and almost
suffocated by a cloud of dust and
crushed and jammed by falling tim
bers.
AT THB MKRCY OF THIEVES.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars’
worth of goods lay last night upon
the business streets at the mercy of
thieves. It now seems almost impos
sible to find store houses for this vast
amount of merchandise. At many
places towering walls of brick are os
cillating in the air, ready to descend
at any moment. These points of
danger are guarded by the police and
tbe Louisville Legion.
Coroner Miller has ordered that no
body be interred until it has been
viewed bj him. This has caused some
discontent among those who wish to
take immediate charge of the remains
of their friends. Telephone wires ars
all down, and it will take ten days
to get them up and working again.
Search for the victims is going on,
and each hour adds to the already
large list. At many places men la
bor in danger of burial beneath tot
tering walls at any moment, and
other accidents are looked for mo
mentarily.
TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
It is feared that at least 200 lives
are lost. Probably the greatest
loss of life occured at the Falls
City hall, which was in the center of
the tornado. In the lower rooms of
the hall were fifty or seventy-five
children, with their mothers anil oth
er relatives, taking dancing lessons.
There were at least 125 persons on the
lower floors, and seventy-live more
attending a lodge meeting on the
upper floor when the terrible wind
swooped down upon the building.
The entire-structure in less than five
minutes was a shapeless mass of brick
and mortar, burying 200 helpless vic
tims of which number few escaped
uninjured. Conservative estimates
place the loss of life at this place Ht
100, while reports indicate the num
ber nearer 200. At 8 o’clock this
morning thirty-five bodies had been
taken from this ruin and fifteen
wounded and dying. Only those on
the third floor had been reached, the
room containing dancing school pu
pils and visitors not yet being open
ed.
, RUIN IN' T1IK TOBACCO DISTRICT.
In the path of the storm lay the
prided tobacco market of the" city,
and to day the warehouses, almost to
the last one, are in ruins. They in
clude the Kentucky, Pickett, the
Nintti street, Falls City, Phiunix,
Greenover, Louisville, Enterprise,
Central and Planters’. The destruc
tion of the Louisville and Ninth
street warehouses could not possibly
have been more complete. Thous
ands of hogsheads of tobacco lay in
the mass of brick and mortar; some
in view, others buried from sight be
neath ttie debris.
A HOTEL WRECKED.
The Louisville Hotel, between Sixth
and Seventh streets, was unroofed
and otherwise wrecked, while the
building west, occupied as a ci
gar store upon the first floor anil
sleeping rooms on the second and
third, was razed entirely to tlie ground
not a single brick remained in place.
In the destruction of this house many
lives were lost, principally of per
sons who occupied sleeping rooms
there. Many of them were young
girls employed at the hotel" next
door.
BIG MONEY FOR BRICKLAYERS.
The great demand now is for brick
layers. Probably 1,000 of these can
bo" given employment, and the con
tractors announce that they will pay
them $4.50 a day. It was rumored
this morning that local bricklayers
would demand $5 a day.
When the Cyclone struck Louis
ville, Ky., Friday night, on Market
street the Falls City Hall, a four story
building, was blown down, while seve
ral Masonic and. Knights of Honor
lodges were in sessiou and 100 men
and women were buried in tbe ruins.
Every other house on Market, Jeffer
son and Walnut streets from Tenth
to Sixteenth stmt, is In ruins.
