Spain is Alarmed.
Madrid, Oct. 10.—It has been
noticed recently that there is great
and quite unusual activity in the
government dock yards at the dif
ferent ports of Spain, and that
workmen are busily nt work refit
ting cruisers and gunboats. In
addition, it has become known
that certain government officials
have been discussing the question
of arming the steamships belong
ing to the Spanish Trans-Atlantic
company, and it is believed that
these preparations are due to the
belief that there is a possibility
that the United States may recog
nize the Cuban insurgents as bel
ligerents.
No mystery about it. When
the Shakers offered some time ago
to give way a bottle of their Di
gestive Cordial to any one who
might call a' their New York of
fice, there was a great rush and a
great many people thought they
were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to
have been a very clever advertis
ing transaction, for although they
gave away thousands of bottles, it
was in the end profitable; nearly
every one that took a free bottle
came back for more and paid for
it with pleasure, saying they had
derived better results from its use
than fiom any other medicine they
had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly
successful in the treatment of sto
mach troubles as the Shaker Di
gestive Cordial, and what is better
than all, it relieves at once.

! IT RONS BOILING WATER.
Little River Choked by a Meteor
and People Badly Scared.
The flaming meteor visible at 9
o’clock on Wednesday night all
over Arkansas and west Tennessee
is the general topic of conversa
tion. Its first appearance from
Little Rock was at a point in the
heavens about 50 degrees from the
horizon in the west by 5 degrees
north. Its course was to thesouth
at an angle of 7 d agrees from the
meridian. The flame was from 15
to 20 degrees in length and 3 de
grees wide in the widest point, and
so dazzling as to hurt the eyes.
The color Lad a greenish blue tint
similar to the burning of a trolley
wire by a bad electric connection
Many thought that it must have
landed within only a few hundred
yards of them. Now, however, its
location is definitely settled. Re
cently a man from the southwos
tern part of the state gave this ac
count of an occurrence that made
the people prepare for the end of
time:
The other morning the farmers
and fishermen along the Little
river and the Red river, below the
junction of the two, noticed a large
number of fish floating down and
that the water was hot. An inves
tigation showed the fish to be
cooked. Alarmed at this, a party
was finally formed to go up and
investigate the cause. Touching
the river at various points as they
proceeded on horseback, they no
ticed that the water was getting
hotter and hotter, and later they
they could trace the entire course
of the river by the rising steam.
The negroes had all quit the cot
ton fields and lumber camps and
gathered around their preachers
wherever one could be found. And
the preachers, with bulging eyes
shaking knees and molting words,
were wrestling with the Lord as
did Jacob of old with the angel.
On the party pressed, getting
smaller each smile, ns some broth
er thought his final hours could
best bo spent under a preacher’s
fervent prayer and dropped out to
join the negro impromptu camp
meetings.
Rounding a slu.rp bend, they
camo upon the white chalk cliffs
of the Little river in the county of
the same name, and just south of
the junction of that county with
Howard and Sevier. There they
beheld a sight so demonstrative of
the power of God and the insigni
ficance of man that every man in
the party, moved by the same im
pulse, fell from his horse proneon
the ground, while tho t animals
quaked with fear and trembling
and huddled togcflier.
The meteor had hit the chalk
cliff, literally tearing through it a
hole 100 feet wide from the top to
the water’s edge. The exposed
portions of the fissure had been
melted by the intense heat and
friction. There in Little river
stood the lost starlet, unch >red
deep in the bed of the river, leav
ing barely room for the water to
pass on the southwest side, and
projecting 20 feet above the level
of the water. The exposed portion
was still lurid with the heat of its
rapid transit through the air, and
the water was boiling, Navigation
beyond this point will be impossi
ble until the Little river cuts a
new channel to the south. —Mem-

Judge William T. Newman, pre
siding in the United States Court
at Atlanta, has a decree reducing
the minimum upset price of the
I Marietta and North Georgia rail
■ road, which is to be sold under
; foreclosure proceedings, from
; $940,000 to $750,000. The sale is
to take place in forty-five days af
' ter tho tiling of the decree at
Knoxville, which was last Satur
day, in all probability. The Ma
rietta and North Georgia has been
I on the block several times, the last
’ time about one month ago, but no
I bid equal to the minimum fixed
by the court could be secured, and
it h?.s consequently remained in
the receiver’s hands. With the
reduced price fixed, it is believed
that the road will be sold the next
time.

Pope Barrow’s Bill.
The failure of the Constitution
al amendment providing for the
increase of the number of Justices
of the Supreme Court from three
to five, to be ratified by the people
has stimulated many members of
the bar to devise some other meth
od to relieve the heavy strain on
the Supreme Court without addi
tional cost to the State. Hon.
Pope Barrow, of Savannah, an able
lawyer, has embodied his views
in a bill which he intends to have
introduced in the approaching ses
sion of the legislature. It is un
derstood the plan received very fa
vorable comment from the lawyers
in attendance on the Bar Associa
tion in Atlanta last week.
Briefly, the bill provide* for
three District Courts of Appeal, in
which are embraced the diQ'erent
judicial circuits as now organized.
The First district shall be com
posed of the counties comprising
the Eastern, Brunswick, Southern
Albany, Middle, Pataula and
Sou th western c i re ui ts.
The Second district shall be
composed of the counties compris
ing the Augusta, Northern, Ocmul
gee, Oconee, Macon, Chattahoochee
and the Flint circuits.
The Third district shall bo com
posed of the counties comprising
the Western, Northwestern, Blue
Ridge, Stone Mountain, Atlanta,
Cherokee, Rome, Tallapoosa and
Coweta circuits.
It provides for the creation of
a District Court of Appeals in each
of these districts, to consist of
three judges, taken from the Su
perior and City Courts, and makes
the district court ’s Court of record.
One term of the new cotM’t will bo
held each year in certain cities cr
eated in the district. The Gover
nor shall call a convention of
judges of the Superior and City
Courts after the passage of the act
to formulate rules of practice.
These courts will exercise appel
late jurisdiction, to review by ap
peal all final decisions in the City
Courts within their respective dis
tricts, granting or refusing a new
trial; granting or refusing an ap
plication for an injunction or a
receiver; dissolving or refusing to
dissolve an injunction, or dis
charging or refusing to discharge
a receiver; in all cases of certiora
ri.
The Judges who compose these
courts shall select their own clerk,
and the sheriff of the county in
which the court is in session is
the sheriff ex-oflicio of the court.
The judges shall bo allowed their
expenses and $5 per day while
they are in attendance on the Dis
trict courts . Thu costs are arrang
ed so that it will put no extra ex
pense on the State. It is estima
ted that the creation of these courts
will relieve the Supremo Court of
one half of its labors, and greatly
facilitate its work. The bi l ! also
provides in what cases appeals
may bo taken from the District
courts to the Supreme court. —
