Announced.
Cards have been Issued announcing the
marriage of Mies Anr.le Poweis, of Macon,
and a Mr. Malone, ot Savannah. Miss
Annie Is a daughter of Col. Virgil Powers,
and Is a great favorite in this city, where
she Is extensively known. The marriage
will take place, we believe, about the 17th.
To-Morrow Night.
Remember that Miss Lula Hurst, one
ot the most wonderful young ladles of the
present age, will exhibit h a r very peculiar
powers tn the opera house to-morrow
night. According to the testimony of
every one who has witnessed her exhibi
tions her powers are certainly wonderful
and seem to be super-natural.
Failures.
The following failures in Georgia are
reported as having occurred last week:
Columbus—William R. Wood, grocer,
assigned. Liabilities $2,000; stock $1,600'
Rome—R. E. Barry, dry goods, failed
and sold out.
Savannah—W. G. Ebbs, grocer, assign
ed. Liabilities $1,4’0; assets S6OO.
More Suits Contemplated.
We are told that it Is the purpose of dif
ferent parties to bring suits against the
owners of the steamer Rebecca Evering
ham, on account of Injuries and losses
sustained by its recent burning. We are
not Informed as to the chances for recov
ering damages, though It is probable that
continued and troublesome as well as ex
pensive litigation will grow out of the
two wrecks recently suffered by that line
ot steamers.
Please Desist.
The public has been so frequently cau
tioned against sending manuscript writ
ten on both sides of the paper for publica
tion that to repeat the request would
seem altogether unnecessary. We some
times, however, receive contributions pre

they escape rejection they have to be

Good Work.
The striped brigade have been engaged
for some days 4n putting some of our
principal thoroughfares in good order.
The character ot work now being done
exeels any heretofore put upon our streets.
Jackson as well as other streets has re
ceived needed attention, and the grading
and other work has been directed with
Intelligence. In this way smooth thorough
fares will be secured, and the drainage of
the city Improved.
Promises Well.
The prospects for an abundant fruit
crop have not been more favorable tor
years. Reports from all sections of the
country are indeed flittering. Unless we
have frost sufficient to kill the young fruit
within the next few days, everybody may
luxuriate during the approaching summer
on the best the trees are capable of pro
ducing. It is very rarely that we have
what might be called an average peach
crop in this latitude, and this is the
choicest of all choice fruits. It is to be
hoped that nothing will occur to blight
the present gratifying outlook.

No Doubt About it.
Considerable doubt with reference to the
visit of the Columbus Guards to Houston,
Texas, was expressed on the streets a day
or two since. We are glad to be able to
report that there Is now not the slightest
necessity for misgivings on this point.
They are going, and that fact is fixed be
yond all doubt.. They will continue their
preparations for the contest In which they
will engage, and it Is hoped that they will
bo far perfect themselves as to secure a
prize. The company will leave Columbus
on Saturday, May 3J, and an tvs In Hous
ton on the sth. The drill commences on
the 6th and will continue four days. There
will be Infantry, artllery and zuave con
tests, the whole business to wind up wltn
a sham battle. These exercises will con
sume all the time allotted.
We trust that our company will put
forth their very best efforts that they may
be able to present the laurels when wel
comed by friends on their return from
Texas.

The Guards’ Fair.
The committee having the management
of the Columbus Guards’ lair held a meet
ing yesterday and determined to open the
exhibition on Thursday, the 24th Inst. It
will be continued through the next ensu
ing Thursday, and thi will embrace just
seven days. The fair will be held In the
Kauffman rooms, on upper Blond street.
These will be brilliantly lighted at night
with electricity, and every ether thing
done calculated to add to the attractive
ness of the rooms and the interest of the
occasion. An admission tee oi twenty-flvr
cents will be charged gentlemen. It is the
purpose of the management to arrange a
kind of lottery, with prizes ranging trom
one hundred dollars downward. Tick
ets, with four admission tickets attach
ed. will be soil tor one dollar. Donations
already received from abroad are libera:,
and In cash aud goods will amount to not
less than SI,OOO. No call has yet been
m de upon our immediate people who will,
of course, respond liberally at the proper
time. Most of the railroads have prom
ised reduced ratee and excuraion trains.
The company expects to till the town with
people, and to realize handsomely from
this enterprise. The prize drill will take
place on Monday, the 28th.
The object of the company in thus striv
ing to raise funds is to put themselves In
a condition to secure an armory of their
own. All moneys realized will be appro
priated to this praiseworthy purpose.
They intend to make a beginning and then
continue their efforts until a successful
termination Is accomplished, We admi’e
the spirit of the boys, and hope they may
be liberally assisted by a generous public-

City Drainage.
Wa notics that a great deal of terracot
ta piping Is being put down in different
portions ot the city. It Is almost certain
that th" general draluage ordinances
which members of the city council now
have under consideration, will be passed
at the next meeting of that body, when
the demand for this kind of piping will be
largely increased. It Is the purpose of the
authorities to promote as much as possi
ble the healthlulness of the city by secur
ing cleanliness, and to accomplish this
the best system that cau be devised for
surface drainage, and also for ridding
private premises of all manner of flitb.
will be adopted.
A kind of war between dealers in terra
cotta goods is now going on and as prices
are > xeeedlngiy low. no better time could
be found for securing whatever may be
necessary lor the perfect sewerage of ths
city. All residents are Itum-dlatelv inter
ested in the health of Columbus, and it Is
expected that all efforts made by tbe au
thorities to remove causes lor disease
will be heartily seconded by the people.
Our city already ranks with the very first
In point of health, and while every one
should be gratified at this, no one should
relax his or her efforts to make Its com
palative average rank still higher.

Memoiial Meeting at LaGrange.
At a called meeting of the citizens of L->
Grauge, G;.., held this day in the court
hoUtC Mayor T. J. Harwell was called
to the chair, aud J. T. Johnston appointed
secretary. The chairman explained tbe
obj ot of tbe meeting, when the secretary
offered and read the following resolu
tions. which alter remarks by Judges
Turner and Langlev, aud others, were
unanimously adopted.
Our community was shocked a few days
ago when the telegraph brought us the
sad news that in the burning Os the “Eve
rlngham"ou the '‘Cliattabooenee” one of
our best citizens, Mr. E. D. Williams, was
dangerously injured—later Intelligence
told us 1 hat there was little hope of his
recovery.
Gloom overspread our community and
sadness and anxiety were depicted in
many faces.
O.i the Sabbath day, the remains of our
fellow citizen were i ecelved In LaGrange,
a d borne to our City cemetery, followed
by a very latge procession of cltizme-
Death brings sorrow at any time, but the
deal h of our friend aud fellow townsman
was peculiarly and indescribably sad, and
our sympathies go out to his sorrowing
widow and children so suddenly and sore
ly bereaved.
It is a mattec of consolation to his
friends to know that in the hours of his
great sufferings aud distress, he was in
the hands and hearts or friends, though
strangers, aud Inal all was done for him
that kindness could suggest and human
skill couid devise, to mitigate hid suffer
ings and minister to his wants.
We therefore, the eltiz ms of LaGrange,
in publli meeting assembled, desire to
give expression to our appreciation and
thanks f r the kindness shown our late
fellow citizen by the people of ate wan
county.
fneiefore, resolved, that the thanks ot
tne people ot LaGrange are hereby most
cordially tendered Mr. D. B. Fitzgerald,
at whose nouse Air. Williams was c ited
tor so kindly and generous!,, who at con
siderable personal expense, did every
th! jg his nobie heartedu.-ss could devise,
and who kindly accump mled the remains
to our city; to his family who vied with
him la tuelr attention and kindues—to
Die. Battle and Beudlngfleld, who did ail
that medical skill was able to do, free ot
charge, and to the citizens of lite entire
community tor tiieir many acts of kluti
nese, and lor tne universal evidences of
loeir sympathy.
R-solved, that a copy ot these resolu
tions bs sent Mr, D. B. Filzgerald and
Dre. Battle and Bendlngfleld, and that
they be published In the Columbus papers
and the L-Grange Reporter.

Wants Them Reduced.
‘ All the statistics ot all the penal insti
tutions and alms-houses in this country,”
says the general agent of tbe Prison Ae
sociatlon ot New York, “and in all civil
ized countries, go to prove that the most
prolific cause ot crime is connected with
the sale and use of sleohuila liquors." He
says also, that "every day in the year,
Sundays and holidays included, an aver
age ot at two hundrrd men and wo
men are brought Into the six poltce mag
istrate courts oi tneciiy. Os theee.nlnety
per cent, are brought there through tbe
use of inti xieating drinks." Facts like
these ehonld settle once for all two things
—first, that there should be a very large
lessening of the places in which intoxica
ting drinks are S' Id; and second, a taking
sway of power from the men engaged In
this business to control in municipal a
- The enermous t xcess ot drinking
plac-s In New Yn k means 65,000 arrests
annually. Oisueh more than 20,000 were
Intoxicated at the time of arrest, while 5,-
000 additional were vagrants, nearly alt
drunkards. The diminution of drinking
places two-tblrds may not diminish to
bat -xtent this amount of drunkenness,
vice and crimp, but there cau be no poei
ble dcubt that It would bo most effective
in that direction. Toequestiou Is about
making these corrupt and debasing mui
tituo’ee as few as possible, the majority of
whom are almost certain to become a
hutd.-n to the state ana an element of
danger in It. As for taking away from
rum-sellers the power to control in mu
nieipal affaire, it Is absolutely s uicidal not
to do so. Rum-seders would be more
than human it they did not control In their
own interest. But, aja interest which In
voives this enormous amount ot drunken
ness li; a single city is, ro that extent, a
corrupt and lawless inteiest-. Exchange.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Klluk-Bolaud Sult Decided by the Su
preme Court.
Klink vs. Boland. Equity, from
Muscogee. Betore Judge Willis.
Charge of the court. Husband and
wife. Conveyance. Notice,
Hammond, Judge.— l. Bequests to
charge which exclude from tne jury
the consideration ot the theory of the
opposite party as to trie tacts in issue
were properly refused by the court.
2. Requests to charge which, while
correct in themselves as abstract
statements ot the law, cannot aid the
jury in arriving at the truth under
the evidence, may be refused—the
court giving the law applicable to the
facts ot the case.
3. A request to charge which would
make a wife responsible for the un
authorized act ot her husband, and
which assumes that the mere volun
tary delivery by her to him of a bond
for titles that hud been executed and
delivered to her would convey with
it a full grant of power and authority
to do with it as he pleased, was prop
erly refused.
4. Where a conveyance is made by
a married woman, which is void by
rcasan of being in violation of the
special provisions of the law on that
subject, as when made to&secure her
husband’s debt, it cannot be vitalized
by any subsequent conduct on her
part. Bhe is as much disabled from
rendering it valitl after she makes it,
as she is from making it in the first
instance.
(b) It follows that if the wife know
of and authorize a conveyance of the
property by her grantee to a third
person, she will not be estopped from
asserting her legal and equitable
rights against her grantee.
5. The court refused to charge that
K., the wife’s grantee, would not be
bound by the conduct of her husband
if said busband failed to explain the
transaction to his wife, and she did
not understand that she, instead of
her husband, was the purchaser of
the property, to secure the debt for
which her deed was given. ifK. made
the transaction believing that she
did understand, and unless he knew
of the concealment from the wife be
fore the deed was made; and did not
charge that the bill of sale was con
cealed from her, and if she had been
informed that she was conveying her
' property as security for her husband,
then she would not be bound.
' The majority of this court are of
tbe opinion that while this presenta
. tion of the law was not strictly accu
rate, still it was not sufficiently erro
neous to necessitate the grant of a
new trial. They hold that a mere
' want of knowledge on the part of K.
that there had been a concealment
by the husband from the wife of tbe
true nature of the transaction, would
not ba sufficient to relieve him, but
. there must also be an absence o;
reasonable grounds of suspicion.
, They hold that (he language of tbe
> court in the first ground, to tbe effect
1 that if Mrs Boland signed the deed
! believing that ehe wae doing so only
' as seemity, and it she had been so
informed and the bill of sale conceal
ed from her, then she was not bound,
must reasonably and f 4rly have been
’ taken by tbe jury to mean that, if the
concealment aud information had
been by the husband and K. boi h, or
■ by the husband and known to K.,
‘ then she would not b • bourn.!.
However this may be, they hold
’ that the facts of tne case show a col
, lusion between the husband and K.
, to induce the wile to m ike the con
. veyance, that K. knew all about it,
or at least he ought to have known
or taken more pains to inquire, and
that the evidence required the ver
dict.
I have grave doubts as to whether
the charge of the court and hie refus
al to charge did not deprive the de
fendant of an important right in the
case by cutting off all inquiry into
the question as to whether K. had
any knowledge or notice of grounds
. of reasonable suspicion that the bus -
’ band had practiced fraud or conceal
ment on the wife, 63 Ga., 123. Judg

A Storm in Walker County.
The Walker County Messenger, of I
the 3 i instant, contains the following
graphic account of the storm which
swept through that county on the Ist
of this month:
The night of April Ist will be mem
orable in Walker county for the
severity of the storm of hail that fell,
for the deluge of water that followed
it, and for the destruction wrought
by the cyclone. The hail came down
in a size and style that few had ever
seen or heard. Numberless pains of
glass were broken.' Our cyclone
notes are limited. The whirlwind
preceded the hail. It crossed the
mountain at the cave lot, blowing
down Joe P< tl John's hous->. On the
Dixon farm it wrecked his saw mill
and etables and leveled the chimneys
of tbe dwelling. At James Hale's,
on the Broomtown road, the out
buildings—crib, smokehouse, etc.,
wont down. The east and west fence
were both blown into the road. On
widow Ransom’s place Aleck Ander
son’s house was blown down and
burnt up. The bouse at the mill,
occupied by Stiles Hammond, was
destroyed and the stone chimney
leveled. On the Summerville road,
on the G. W. Wilson place a tree
crushed the house of James Jackson.
His wife was struck on the head by a
piece of timber and badly hurt. John
Wilson lost his barn, and the old
Gapers Wilson house was blown
down. A large gate post that had
been sunk in the ground two feet
and well trampled was drawn out. On
the Alabama road, the brick house
known as the Calhoun house, and all
the outbuildings, were entirely de
molistied. W. A. Martin was seri-
ously hurt. Mr. Martin’s little eight
year old boy wae burled about four
feet in the ruin ot brick and plank, but
saved by his father. Tne escape
of the family wae a miracle.
A short distance southeast of this
scene of disaster, in a tract of forest,
some fifty or sixty acres in extent,
every tree but one lies flat with the
ground—a single pine sapling stands
in the centre of this circle of desola
tion. Lick of space will not allow a
detailed mention of the wholesale
destruction of timber, bouses, fences
and other property. In West Ar
muehee all the houses on Y mug’s
and Waiiln’e places except their
dwelling houses were utterly demol
ished. One dwelling house on
Spencer Bomar’s place was blown
down, leaving the iuuabitauts entire
ly destitute. Adam Griffin, on the
Clements pi ce, was left without
house or barn, nis barn being burnt,
with all his corn, etc. Thomae
Norman was struck by a piece
of flying timber and badly
hurt. Several dwellings were
blown down and their inhabitants
left without protection. Fences
blown down across the entire valley,
covering a belt of nearly two miles.
The main cyclone waa about three
hundred yards wide. Thousands of
large trees were lying across each
other in every direction. Tbe whole
scene is oneof inex ricablecoofusion.
A ball of rumbling tire was seen just
in front ot the whirlwind. Immense
branches of trees were torn from their
trunksand carried hundreds of yards.
The very elements seemed on fire.
The wind se-med confused, blowing
now south, now east. The general
direction of the cyclone was from
southwest to northeast. The storm
lasted from five to ten minutes, leav
ing utter desolation in its track.
