BBMARK’S PINE DOGS.
The Great Prince Has Always Kept a Sup
ply of These Animals.
In Germany, as on the continent gen¬
erally, the dogs used for, hunting large
game, the boar included^ are varieties
of the German or l'!m$r mastiff or
"dogge,” and very nobh^ Ijl nfmals they
are, albeih-et^T I _*. tape, and It
Is now over fin> ” 1 o that her
majesty, the queen, act?e,T ' from the
duke of Bucdeugh a Sax< '■■►■oar dog,”
called Nelson, and ihiported by Lord
John Scott from Saxony by that name.
ADd In a fine painting (by Merely, I
think,) of a group of the queen’: dogs,
Nelson appears as a rough-coated, bad¬
ly cropped mastiff, of such proportions
that, a Scotch terrier, in the same pic¬
ture, looks as if it was altogether no
larger than Nelson's bead.
This fine animal was the eontempo-
r&ry of young Blsmark’s first hound,
the terror of the peasantry around
Kniepboff, where the parents lived.
This dog afterward acompanied his
young master to the University of Got¬
tingen, where, we ore told, he speedily
made his mark. Once, when Bismark
was summoned to appear before the
rector for throwing a bottle out of his
window, he look his enormous hound
wlth him, to the great dismay of the
reverend dignitary, who promptly
found refuge behind a high-backed
chair, where he remained until the
hound had been sent out of the room,
Blsmark was fined 5 thalers for bring-
ing this terrific beast" into the roc-
tor's sanctum, In addition to the pun-
tshment meted out for throwing the
bottle.
And for the sixty-odd years that
have -elapsed since then Blsmark has
never been without one or more of
these huge cross bred mastiffs as his
companion or guard. As a law student
and official at Berlin, during his trav¬
els in many lands, throughout his di¬
plomatic career at Frankfort, St. Pet¬
ersburg, Purls and elsewhere, as well
as at Vttrzi and Friedrlchsruhe, Bls-
mark has always had the companion¬
ship of one or more of his favorite
dogs. Probably the one to which he
was most attached was Sultan, who
died at Varzin in 1871. Tyras—the
famous dog of the empire- which was
of unusual size and of the slate color
most popular in Germany, was then
quite a young dog, and It was the con¬
stant companion of its Illustrious own¬
er till the time of Its death, sharing
his walks, his rides, his business and
his meals, and keeping guard in his
bedroom at night.—Good Words.

BILL FOR REMOVAL OF COURT-
HOUSE IS DEFEATED.
RESULT WASA DECIDED SURPRISE.
Summary of Daily Proceeding in
House and Senate.
One of the hottest, most sensation¬
al, and thoroughly interesting tights
ever witnessed in the honse of repre-
seutatives was brought about Friday
in the contest between Decatur and
Btoue Mountain for the possession of
the DeKalb county courthouse'.
Decatur won under circumstances
seemingly adverse.
The fight was brought on by the

required two-thirds majority was in

^ tinal result was far different from
these expectations.
All other business before the honse
j was displaced to give way to a settle-
meat of this question. This was ae-
complished hy a mameuvre
by the Stone Mountain adherents,
The bill before the house was to
move the courthouse from Decatur to
Stone Mountain. It bore the favor-
able report of the committee, before
which the matter had already
fought and argued.
A substitute bill, referring a sett!,

Then the other bill came up a,
sensation was caused by the discove
that the measure could not he put to
ft vote because the proper legal proofs
were missing. No other business
could be transacted. Under the call
for the previous question, the only
thing before the house was the vote
on this bill. For an hour and a hnlf,
an exciting debate went on. All this
confusion was caused by the simple
fact that a newspaper containing a
j copy of the advertisement, of the bill
had been lost or misplaced.
The Decatur people were willing to
accept the proofs at hand, and so were

honse. His substitute to that effect
was accepted by Speaker Jenkins, and
the debate ceased.
The resolution by the speaker grew
out of a special message from the gov¬
ernor, including a letter from Hon. N.
J. Hammond, president of the board
of trustees, asking a hearing. The
governor urged the general assembly
to hear the trustees at a time when a
full attendance could be bad.
The remainder of the session was
devoted to the consideration of new
bills and other minor matters.

Tuesday's Proceed lugs.
The convict bill was up iu the house
Tuesday as the special order, aud the
tighten this important question is now
well under way.
Two substitutes were offered. One
of them is a straight lease bill, differ-
ing only in detail from the present
lease system, except that it provides
for the election hy the people of the
principal keeper of the penitentiary.
This substitute comes from Mr. Stone,
of Walton. The other substitute is
the Hall bill, which reflects the senti¬
ment of the present administration,
and looks towards a reformation of the
lease system.
The fight did not progress far dur¬
ing the day. The house went into
committee of the whole to consider the
measure, which it was proposed to
take up section hy section. The
got no further, however, than the first
section. The matter went over until
Wednesday and the house took up
consideration of other matters.
Among the great number of new
bills introduced was one by Mr. West,
of Lowndes, providing for state uni¬
formity in school books and for a book
commission. The bill is in line with
the minority report of Mr. Beauchamp.
Mr. Hill, of Troup, wants to increase
the revenue of the .State university by
charging tuition and introduced a bill
to that effect.

The friends of the inst. in the
house won a fight in s» ring the
hearing for the trustees. The house
had run counter to the wishes of the
senate and a sensational conflict was
promised. The house resolution pro¬
vided for the hearing before a commit¬
tee of the whole. The senate resolu¬
tion called for a joint session. This
precipitated the tight.
When tlfe senate resolution came up
before the honse it was sought to
amend it so as to fix the hearing for
Wednesday night. The time mention¬
ed in the resolution was 10:30 a. m.
That hour came and went while the
fight was still on in the house.
Then an amendment to this amend¬
ment, fixing the time for the hearing
at 11 o’clock was offered. This was

The first thing done by the senate
Wednesday morning was to send tho
house the resolution for .a joint session
at. 10:30 o’clock to hear the university
trustees. Pending the receipt of in¬
formation touching the address of the
house on the subject, the senate trans¬
acted routine business.
It was nearly 11 o’clock when a
message from tho house announced
that the resolution had been adopted
with an amendment fixing the time at
11 o’clock. This was immediately
concurred in and the house was noti-
lied.
These two bills were passed by tho
senate: Mr. Felder’s bill to expedite
habeas corpus eases; Mr. Hawes’ bill
prohibiting arresting officers from nd-
VIS ing or procuring settlements in
criminal cases and fixing a jienalty for
doing.
THuraduy’H Routine.
Along with the first business in tho
house Thursday the West resolution
to limit discussion on the convict bill
from II to 1 o'clock each day came up>
and after some discussion was passed.
The house then took a nibble at the
convict bill. A few more amendments
to the first section were presented, all
of which were discussed without re¬
sults, and then the committee of the
whole reported progress.
The DeKalb court honse fight van
amuck of the convict bill and both
came to a standstill. An effort was
made to secure the consideration iYf
the former measure at the expense of
the latter, and an interesting light re¬
sulted. The convict bill gained the
right of way, however, and was under
discussion during the remainder of
the day.
Mr. Gray’s prohibition bill came up
in the senate as the first business
Thursday morning, aud after a brief
statement by the author, it went to a
vote. The bill prohibits the sale of
liquors in smaller quantities than one
pint, and prohibits the drinking of
liquor on the promises where it is sold.
The favorable committee report was
agreed to bv a vote of 19 to 10
The question then came up on the
passage of the bill and Senator Turner
rose to favor it It fell far short of
what he desired, but was in the right
direction. Senator Gray called for
the ayes and nays and the vote was 20
to 17. The bill lacked only three
votes of a constitutional majority,
The football bill came up and passed
by a vote of 31 to 4.
Senator Turner’s bill prohibiting
the shooting a’ turkeys and other
fowls for a prize, with chances stated
on hitting the bird, came on an adverse
report, which caused some discussion. , _

Hal Lewlfl Honored.
Hon. Hal T. Lewis, of Greensboro,
has been appointed by Gov. Atkinson
supreme court judge to succeed Judge

The appointment of Colonel Lewis
was a surprise all round, but it seems
that Governor Atkinson has long con¬
templated the appointment of Mr.
Lewis in the event that Judge Bamps
Harris declined to accept the appoint-
merit. Tuesday Judge Harris inform-
ed the governor that he could not ae-
cept the proffered seat upon the sn-

determined to appoint Mr. Lewis.

A DEADLY DUEL
Growing: Out of tlio Itrnnn Baylor Trouble
at lVaro, Tpxiih.
A terrible pistol duel, in which the
recent Brann-Baylor university epi-
sode prominently figures, occurred on
the streets of Waco, Texas, Friday
afternoon, and as a result W. A. Har-
ris, a well-known citizen and insur-
ance agent, is dead; Editor J. W.
Harris lies mortallv wounded, and G.
B. Gerald, a prominent lawyer, is se-
riously injured, while a negro by-
stander, who was hit by a stray bullet,
is painfully hurt.
When the sun was shining brightly
ami the streets were crowded the long-
expected battle growing out of the
Brann-Baylor trouble took place. Col-
onel Gerald was advancing from one
corner diagonally across Austin avenue
to the next corner, and J. W. Harris,
editor of The Waco Morning Times-
Herald, was standing in front of the
corner drug store, talking to two
friends.
When Editor Harris saw Colonel
Gerald coining he remarked to his
friends that trouble was on Land and
that they, had better get out of the
ay. Without further delay he drew
nis pistol and fired at Colonel Gerald,
who was rapidly moving in his direc-
tion. When Gerald saw Harris he
halted, unbuttoned his overcoat, thrust
his hand into his bosom and drew his
own revolver, after which he advanced
on Harris rapidly, and when at close
range fired a shot which hit Harris in
the neck, sending him to the ground
completely paralyzed.
Meanwhile, from the corner oppo¬
site, in front of tho Citizens’ National
bank, W. A. Harris, brother of -T. W.
Harris, was tiring at Gerald, and
Gerald w as now wounded in two places
aud bleeding.
After disposing of Editor J. W.
Harris, Gerald faced his second an tag-
onist and marched straight across the
street after him in a trot. A police-
man rushed between the two and did
all he could to keep them apart at the
point of a pistol, but they closed in
spite of the policemann’s efforts and
continued to shoot till W. A. Harris
sank to the sidewalk n corpse.
Colonel Gerald fell during the fight,
but arose to his feet quickly and when
both of his antagonists were down on
the ground he walked off with one
arm shattered, swinging by his side,
and blood spurting from a wound in
the hip. After glancing about in
every direction he found an officer and
offered to surrender. He said:
“They laid for me, but I got them
both; that is, I think I did.”
Tho trouble grew out of the attacks
in Braun’s Iconoclast on the Baylor
university. Editor Harris took the
side of Baylor and condemned Braun
bitterly in his paper. Gerald took a
communication defending Braun to
the paper, but it was not published.
Gerald went to get his manuscript and
he and Editor Harris had a tight in
which Gerald was worsted. Gerald
then published a circular giviug his
side of the affair and scattered it
broadcast. He denounced Harris in
unmeasured terms.
LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE.
Knglneer and Fireman Have Desperate
Fight On Flying Train.
On a freight train dashing southward
over the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road at the rate of thirty miles an
hour Thursday night, one of the most
thrilling fiction encounters ever recorded in
fact or occurred.
Soon after the train left Birming¬
ham, and when two miles from the
city, the engineer, E. P. Bishop, told
the fireman, Wiley Craig, colored, to
stir up the fire. The negro paid no
attention to the order, and it was re-
peated. This time he uttered an
oath, and springing from Ins seat,
drew a revolver and suddenly and
without warning fired a snot point
blank at the engineer.
The bullet missed the engineer, who
struck the revolver from the negro’s
hand just as the latter was about to
fire a second shot. Craig, wow crazed
with rage, instantly drew an ugly
knife, and grasping the engineer by
the shoulder, pulled him from the box
aud began to cut him across the breast,
Bishop had a pistol in his hip pocket
but he was held for n time in such a
position that he could not reach it.
Finally, after a desperate struggle,
during which the two men rolled over
and over or. the floor of the cab,
Bishop managed to draw his pistol and
fire. The bullet struck the negro in
the breast and penetrated his heart,
Without a groan he fell back into tho
darkness to the ground.
BLASTING POWDER ON BOARD.
Trimmers Find Exploitive on the Rig
Ship Amphitrlte.
News comes from Norfolk, Ya., on
what is considered good authority that
ft keg of twenty-five pounds of blasting
powder was found by the coal trim¬
mers of the Amphitrite, while that
vessel was coaling at Lambert’s Point
a few days ago.
The keg, it seems, passed down into
the bunkers and was there discovered
by the men, who took it on deck and
tested it.
_ Its presence is a mystery, bnt the
most plausible, theory is that it was
left in the ear at the mines
brought iu beneath the coal.

BMtiEST FIRE OF THE CENTURY
IN WORLD’S LARGEST CITY.
is twenty-five millions.
Many Historic Iaoalltleg Wiped Out or
Badiey Damaged—The Fire Iiaged
For Four Hours.
_
Ike largest and . most serious . fire ,, in
a century raged in London Friday.
The fire broke out in a large block
bnildin(?s f i 1 ying S eastward of Alders-
gate street and between that thorough-
fare and Ked Cross street just after
o’clock in the afternoon.
The flames were fanned by a strong
^nd and were fed by highly inflam-
mable stocks of Christmas fancy goods
and flimsy dress materials of all de-
scriptions that filled every floor of the
buildings in the old street.
Consequently the conflagration gained
headway with surprising rapidity and
was soon far beyond the possibility of
being checked by the few engines
which were early on the spot. For
f °ur and a half hours the flames had
their own way and it was only after
more than a hundred engines had
worked an hour that the chief of the
brigade sent out the signal that
the fire was under control,
At 11 o’clock at night the fire was
still the scene of great excitement,
Fifty engines were playing upon the
rnins, wagons were hurrying up coal
aud tons of water were pouring into
the fiery debris.
The rescue of factory operatives by
the firemen, the hurrying of hosts of
clerks who were trying to save books
an<1 valuable papers from the fire and
the rushing here and there cf many
employees, who were attempting to
carry to places of safety costly mer-
ohandise or other valuables, added to
the confusion. Then, again, the heat
was 80 intense that several firemen
were obliged to direct their operations
hotter showers of water,
but in spite of the exertions of the
firemen, the fire crept on steadily
until Nieholl square, which is siturted
a ^ the far end of Haiiaell street, was
reached,
Amount, of the Fosses.
It is officially reported that 150 ware
houses have been gutted. A later es¬
timate of the damage done places
amount at nearly £5,000,000
(125,000,000).
Nearly 300 telephone wires were
cut, thus interrupting
with many of the big provincial
towns. The fire will cause an enor-
mous advance in the price of ostrich
feathers which rose 30 por cent. Two
feather firms alone have lost £15,000
sterling (#75,000).
The Burned District.
A later cablo dispatch received Sat-
nrday morning says: A very large
force of firemen and about twenty eu-
gines have been working at a high
pressure all night. The district, rav-
aged hy the fire is bounded hy Aldors-
gate street, Ked Gross, Maiden Head
court and Bradford avenue and in-
eludes the intermediate streets of
Jewin, Hamsell, Well and Edmund
and Jewin Crescent and part of Aus¬
tralian avenue, Pauls alley, Cripple
Gate church yard, Wood street square,
Monkwell street, Nicholl square and
Fore street.
DECIDED AGAINST COUPER.
. Ju ,i K0 , s Par , lee and Ne mn iia.i No ju-
risdiction In the Case.
Major J. M. Couper, former assist¬
ant postmaster at Atlanta,lost his fight
in theUnited States court for his place.
The fight was won by Major Smyth,
not because the civil service laws did
not protect Major Couper, but because
Judges Pardee and Newman decided
that a court of equity has no right to
interfere in matters of the kind, and
state that such questions and disputes
must ho decided by the civil service
commission at Washington.
This means, of course, that the in¬
junction for which Major Couper was
fighting will not be granted and he
will have to step out until the Wash-
ington headquarters pass upon his
case. Ho still has a chance to win,
for if the civil service commission de¬
oides that he is protected he will be
reinstated and take up his old duties
again.

After long and patient investigation, Mrs. Pinkham

Who Threw the Stones?
A few months ago the residents of
Darby Township, near London, Ohio,
were greatly excited over the capers
of alleged spirits at the home of Har¬
lan P. Wood, an intelligent and well-
to-do farmer. For several nights the
house was clubbed and stoned to a de¬
gree that greatly alarmed the in¬
mates. At first Mr. Wood supposed
the aggressor was a man whom he
had discharged from his service, but
the man had disappeared from the
neighborhood, and could not be found.
The house was vigilantly watched
night and day, hut at intervals, during
the night, large stones and bricks con¬
tinued to fly through the sitting-room
window and fall on the floor. Some¬
times they appeared to be thrown out
of the window from the inside, the
broken glass flying outward, Hun-
dreds of persons visited the house, and
while they were there the phenomena
continued, with the additional feature
of the repeated disappearance of a
lot of potatoes from the cellar, which
soon afterward reappeared, carefully
placed in heaps of tire on the sitting-
room floor. One day Constable Dono¬
hue stationed himself in the cellar to
watch the potatoes, but had not been
there five minutes when his loud calls
for assistance brought a party down
from upstairs. They found him lying
on the cellar floor with his hands tied
and his mouth and eyes full of clover
seed. He said that he had been thrown
to the floor by invisible hands, which
had thrown the clover seed in his face
and crammed it into his mouth. The
majority of those who witnessed the
phenomena declared that they were
the work of the devil or of human
spirits. About twenty-five years ago
a pretty Irish girl lived on this farm.
She loved not wisely but too well, and
finally hanged herself to a plum tree
at the rear of the wood-house. To
this melancholy event some of the
people attribute the strange manifes¬
tations.
