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.

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 ^ tone Mountain faction who seemed B ' ,re ® f aa eB8 y victory.

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!, ment of the question back to the ' pie of the county, offered p was and r 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 | ^nevertheless, the Stone Mountain the debate people. But, wont on and j the confusion increased.

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.

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. * n tlie Tuesday. rr , , Mr. Cal- . resolution for the vlu 8 appoint- m « n ) ° l n commission to mark »<ddiers’ t graves in the northern states waR ,al<en up on motion of Senator Hlalock a id unanimously passed, The following bills were also passed: Making Stafford’s almanac legal evi- den<, e from 1400 to 2000 ; to create a ue,v charter for the town of Lyons; to ®holisli the city court of Coffee county; i to establish the city court of Douglas; ' to provide for the validation of bonds; I ’possum bill, requiring county bimrds of education to havo a seal and U on teachers’ license, r, ’he senate.^ "4er a lively discussion ,t * -lf to attend the ’’«% trustees, "mndence, rearing day in the s ■ university. i transacted univei. an, e day on the ' y \ The u,. ■ini ami was ably , N.

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.

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. , _ 1 he adverse report was disagreed to by a vote of 21 to 14 and the bill stands °xi' Mr. Felder s bill to except the N.

Hal Lewlfl Honored. Hon. Hal T. Lewis, of Greensboro, has been appointed by Gov. Atkinson supreme court judge to succeed Judge railroad commission. 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- preme bench, and the governor at once determined to appoint Mr. Lewis. Colonel Lewis was not informed of his appointment until late Tuesday af- ~ * Ie at once deculc<1 to p i p ace. 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.

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. TWO BIG CITIES INXOLYED.

Dorchester, Limited, Mass. 1780.) 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.
