COLONEL MARK HARDIN Tells a Stunning Story to Bill iirp. He Has Crossed continents, Skirted Mountains, Locked Down Into Yawning Chasms and Destroyed distance. As iron sbarpeneth iron, so a man's face shortens sharpeneth ihe face of his friend. How it the miles to travel with a compan¬ ion who has something to talk about and knows how to talk it. I came with one yes¬ terday the from Atlanta. The day was hot and dust and cinders disagreeable, but the minutes and the miles flew by and I was home before I knew it. The other day I found good company on the train, tor it was Mark Hardin, the ancient and modern clerk of the house of representatives, and I soon got him on the trail of his late travels to tha Pacific coast and the new state of Washing¬ ton. A man who has not traveled some knows but little of what is going on in the world. He can’t get it from reading history, and what there are but few travelers who can tell But Mark they have seen and make it iirteresting. can, and I could listen to him all day on a train. I hid been traveling some myself, been and was narrating as how I had away out to Kansas City and saw them killing I riad cattle and almost hogs, and how it seemed to me gotten to the jumping off place, and so forih, when Mark took off his coat and squared himself for business, and bit off his tobacco and said: “Well, yes; Kansas City does seem a good waysA>ff, and 1 used to think it was, but not long ago I took a notion to peruse this western <emis phere, and I started out from Atlanta wir.h a friend and by the time we got to Kansas City felt like we had traveled a thousand milts and we must be about half way, and so we and stopped over a day and Mowed around rested and then took a fresh start for the Pacific. Well, sir, they pinned us up in a vestibule train, and took enough provisi OHS aboard to feed an army, and they fastened on the kitchen and the cooks, and the dining library room, and parlors and reading rooms, and a and a saloon and everything else but a carriage and horses, and away we went over taiga plains thirty-five and valleys, and hills and nioun , at mi'es an hour for 1,740 rtilies, without at stopping anywhere, and dident stop all for 500 miles at a stretch." “How about coal and water?" said I. “Blamed if I know,” said Mark. “Might have stopped while we were asleep, but I never saw any. Don’t need any more than half the way, nohow, for you just roll end slide down the mountains for half a day at a time. You climb and climb higher until you can almost touch the moon and seven stars, and you can see all creation down be¬ low you, and it makes a man feel like he was nobody, and had whether no kinfolks, and it dident matter a cent he lived or died. A trip over the Rockies and the Sierras will take the vanity out of a man quicker then anything but I know. his maker. There is nothing left him to trust He feels more help¬ less than he does on the ocean, for to be drowned is nothing horrible, but for the train to break a wheel or a jump the track on a narrow cliff a thousand feet high and the whole concern to go falling and cracking to the gulch below is ju-t awful. And there are hundreds of suen frightful precipices. when we had got 1,740 miles west of Kansas City they let us out for thirty min¬ utes and it was just glorious to get on the ground again and feel the solid earth under your feet, and to my opinion it is the best place—better estter than riding than water, train. better Of than dust air, on a its we are made and in its bosom we must sleep. But as I was telling you, we boarded the train and put on a clean shirt and took a fresh start and rolled away for 1,440 miles more and got to the jumping-off place sure enough, and like old majestic Balboa, stood upon a rock and gazed in silence upon the Pacific ocean. If I were Byron or .Shake* peare I could tell you about that, but I’m nobody much since I got back ana never ex pect to be The world is a heap bigger thing than I thought it was. Why the fir trees all over Washington are 3,0 feet high, and you have to take two tights to see to the top, and I saw a mtasurod acre that had been sold to a sawmill ami the timber cut off. and I counted twenty-seven stumps, and the smallest was eight and a half bet, in diame¬ ter, and the mill cut up one of the trees into shingles while I was looking at them, and that one tree turned out 80,000 shingles and left a hundred feet of the top lor laths and firewood. And that’s the truth if ever I told it, and one day some of us went out in the edge of the timber to shoot some deer and the whole race of the earth was covered with ferns—ferns as thick on the grou d at ihe palmetto in Florida and it was six to twelve feet high and we come across a b g tree that hah been blown down and the deer was said to be just over the he other side anti I tiptoed up by the side of i tree to put my gun up on it tried and I pushed climb it a< far as I could and tha then to up on the crev.ces in bark, but they shelved down the wrong way and mv shoes had got slick and I could nt make it and I couldn’t reach my gun any more and had to come off and leave it I went back next morninig with a boy and put is ^ in belt W I , S“rc about nd ed%“Kffi, milts wide and d e 100 il a ten miles long across the country, and s > impen etrable that a bear can’t get through it, but apart—norrow patba’thit SZ& 5S tor a thousand years, they say, and were made by the wild beasts, and the bears and the panthers and mountain lions and the wi'd hogs and the deer, all use them, ail and under- the settlers told me tnat me animals stood these paths to be common property and never showed fight in them, but if a deer was going and a bear was coming, and they Se^r h?m. 8 'That"s whit the old settlers told me.” And Murk bit off some more tobacco. “I belie'e it,” said I, “for I remember that Colonel Patton, of the United States army, told me that bis command was stationed ono lone, dry summer in the hill country south of Utah, and every water course dried up, and every lake and pool except one, and his command had to go to tnat and camp and stay all the fall, and for a radius of a hun¬ dred miles the wild beasts came by night panth¬ for water, and the bears and wolves and ers and deer and prairie dogs would drink together and t here wasent a growl nor a fight, for you see they were all beset by a common flag of danger and understood it and raised a truce around the water, and Colonel Patton said that his men all'partook of shoot, the same notwith¬ feel¬ ing and never raised a gun to standing they were nearly starved for fresh meat. And that is what the poet alluded to when he wrote that ‘a touch of nature makes flhe whole wor d kin.’ Go on, Mark.” •‘Well, as I was saying, you never heard of such a climate on the eastern slope of Washington. The boys don’t wear shoes the year round and if it Wisent for the fogs it would be a splendid country to live in. The l fogs don't rise until 10 o’clock in the morn ing, and sometimes they are so thick that - you cap move it around with a broom ana sweep it out of the house. It’s like a cob web. and you can wrap it around a stick or a broom and carry it out. I never saw them do iL but that’s what they told me. You can’t raise corn there, but wheat and I oats and vegetables just grow immense. and saw Iiisb po atoes fifteen inches long as big as my leg. Half a potato is enough for a moderate sized family They slice them cros>ways like wo do for Saratoga chips, only the chips are half an inch thick and as big ss saucers. people. Everything grows bigout there but the I never saw as many little, scrawny screwed-up all people in my Dutch, life. They are most fore gners—low Voles, Italians, Swiss, Swedes, Irish, Chinese and every other sort, and not one in ten can speak the English 1 nguage. They can’t but they call for a match to light a pipe with, have to make signs for everything.” About, this tune our cram received a shock and put on the brakes and stopped, and we nil got our. to see what was the matter, and found that we had run into two mules and a double-seated buggy, and two negroes and a white man a. d seven jugs of whisky. One negro and one mule were killed arid th > oth¬ ers badly broken up. Nothing of the buggy could be found except the tires. It was close into town and the people all came running. The wounded were soon cared for and the train went on. Such is life and such is death when down men are corning and from a whiskey stillhouse load¬ ed inside out with and try to beat a railroad at a crossing. The next thing will be three or four law¬ suits for damages, I reckon, for a railroad is | an institution to be picked at and pursued, right or wrong. They are our greatest bene¬ factors and civilizers, and not one in five makes any money for the stockholders, but the liberty of than a ten-dollar the lives cow la of more importance of passengers or the wreck of an engine. I was on the train one night when track a wandering and the bull threw down our train from the engine a bank and we had to stay there until morn¬ ing, damages, and a thousand dollars of wouldn’t the bull pay the all but the owner got his pay the same, and to my mind it is all wrong and I would stop it if I could. A railroad company may be just as careful as human foresight can be, but if a man is kill¬ ed the jurios go for dollars. them Just to the tune wreck of five be fir ten thousand let a i heard of and an Atlanta lawyer will take the first train to tlfe spot and hunt round for a fee like a buzzard sails round for a carcass. I wonder how mean it is possible for a man to gee and still hold up his head and pretend he is a gentleman. Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution. FOR FOUR MILLION Abraham Backer Assigns his Worldly Possessions. Abraham Bicker, dealer in commercial paper at No. 285 Broadway, New York, made an assignment Monday without preference. Backer was a heavy dealer in commercial paper and also the capi¬ talist of the firm of A. Backer & Co., dry goods commission also manufactured merchants at 285 Broadway. He goods at Glastonbury, Conn., where he has a fine mill. Their goods were principally for the southern trade. Backer’s a-signment, it is said, is princi¬ pally due to the condition of the money market, which made it very difficult for him to float a quantity of ci mmercial paper which he generally handled, and also to the decline in certain southern railroad bonds in which he was a largo holder. His trouble, it is said, in rela¬ tion to southern railroad bonds was the result of his connection with the Macoi: Construction company, of Macon, Ga., of which he was one of the directors, and to which he said to have lent much money. His liabilities aie said to be about four million dollars, of which $2,500,000 is di¬ rect and $1,500,000contingent. The latter i- said to be ail right and no loss is an¬ ticipated. The assets, according to one who is familiar with Backcr’s affairs, in¬ clude about one million, five hundred thousand dollars of bonds of the Georgia Southern aud Florida railroad, and Macon aud Birmingham railroad, about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars of Alabama state bonds and a huge amount of other secuiities, a valuable mill plant at Glastonbury, Conn., and one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dol¬ lars’ worth of real estate in New York city. Backer came to New York from Savannah. ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR In Which Eleven People Are Instantly Killed. A dispatch from Syracuse, N. Y., says: Thursday morning a freight train on the West Shore railroad going west, broke in two between Port Byron and Montezuma, and the fast train No. 3 dashed into the rear. The brakeman went back to waru the passenger train, but the night was so fo°-gy that he was not seen. The fireman 0 f the passenger train was killed. Ten » route to Hi.g.ra Fall, in th, smoking car, were killed, and thirty injured, 01 forty others in the same car The sleeping cars burned, but it is «*» *» «“ %"*** 7° sleepers were rescued. 1 he scene ot the accident is four miles from Port Byron at id two from Montezuma.

A Peony Bed 250 Years Old. In the yard of the old Foster home¬ stead is a flaming bed of peonies. The bed has a history. Hundreds of years ago maidens in Germany plucked the gaudy flowers, and in the days when our forefathers were struggling used for supremacy beg with the red men Indianc to a flower to stick in their topknots. Mr. N. Foster, who was at work in his garden yesterday afternoon said, pointing with pride to the big red flowers, “Those peonies were-brought from Germany by an ancestor of mine 259 years ago. They were first planted in the yard of the old Breed House at the corner of South and Summer streets. All the Breed family to-day have flowers from that stock growing in their gardens. In the early days the Indiaus used to come to the old Breed homestead and trade a basket of clams for one of the flowers to wear in their hair.”—[Lynn (Mass.) Press. THROUGH DIXIE, NEWS OF THE SOUTH BRIEFLY PARAGRAPHED Forming 1 an Epitome of Dally Happenings Here and There. The courthouse of Winston county, Alabama burned Thursday. All the records were lost. The first hale of cotton of the new crop was received in Montgomery, Ala.,Thurs¬ day and sold at auction for 8 cents a pound. A canvass of the members of the State Colored Alliance convention, in session at Raleigh, showed a large majority iu favor of the sub-treasury plan.

The Blakeney Manufacturing Company, manufacturearsof bed springs, mattresse-, etc., at Dallas, Tex., was closed Friday by attachments, aggregating $14,500. Total liabilities $35,000 to $40,000, with ample assets. At Huntsville, Ala., Wednesday, the Nordyke and Merman Company filed a bill to foreclose a mortgage on the Hunts¬ ville Electric Light Company and have a receiver appointed.

A Louisville, Ky., dispatch of Sunday says: The amount of the shortage of Sylvester Young, defaulting cashier of the Newport Nens and Mississippi Val¬ ley railroad, is now known to be at least $38,000, instead of $25,000 as first sup¬ posed. Further investigation may add slightly to this. A telegram received at Birmingham Wednesday from Detective Stark reports that he is eu route to Birmingham from Portland, Ore., withB. D. Whiden, the man who insured his life for $40,000 and had himself ostensibly drowned in the Tennessee river. His wife will welcome her husband’s return to life and dismiss the suit agaiwt the insurance companies. A Jackson, Miss., dispatch of Sunday says: Reports from the Copiah county primary indicate that George has a ma¬ jority of 300 over Barksdale.

Wayne county also went for George Saturday. The Order of Railway Trackmen of the United States met in session in Birming¬ ham, Wednesday, with about sixty dele¬ gates present from most of the southern states. The main question before the meeting was a proposition to consolidate with the North American Order of Sec¬ tion Foremen. Both orders are precisely similar, the only difference being that one is northern and the other southern. The Alabama State Alliance trustee stockholders have been in session in Bir¬ mingham for three days. George F. Gaither, member of the national execu¬ tive committee of the new people’s party, and has been general manager for a year, has been very successful, largely more than doubling the business. Thursday afternoon J. H. Bostwick was elected to succeed him, and it is reported 'new that Gaither’s affiliation with the party worked the change. The biggest railroad deal of the cent¬ ury has just developed at Charleston, S. C. On Wednesday, A. B. Morton, vice president of the Cincinnati and Cape Fear railroad, had recorded in Berkely county a mortgage for $9,000,000 on property of that road, The project is to run the road from Noifolk to Charleston, east of the Atlantic Coast Line, entering Charleston, cro-sing Ashley river and going down to Savannah.

Statute of Frauds—A receiver’s verbal promise to pay a creditor who releases receiver a lie n upon property which the sells for the benefit of the firm is void. Partnership Debt—Levy.—Partners be¬ ing severally and jointly liable, the prop¬ erty of either may be levied on to satisfy a partnership debt, and the liability may be enforced against the property of each. the Legal legal Holidays.—After holidays in Illinois July Septem¬ 1, 1891, are ber 1, February 12, January 1, February 22, May 80, July 4, December 25 and Thanksgiving day. All notes, bills, drafts, checks, etc., maturing on above days are considered as maturing on the day previous. Interest Law in Missouri Changed.—A change was made by the last legislature in the law of Missouri as to rate of inter¬ est, which will soon go into effect. Six per cent is still the legal rate when no this rate is agreed upon by the parties, than but new law provides that not more and col¬ 8 per cent can be contracted for lected by law. Lea-e. —The fact that a lease has al¬ ways been in the possession of the lessor is not conclusive evidence that there has been no delivery, since the lessor has as much interest in it as the lessee, and as much occasion for its possession, and the fact that the tenant has entered under it is sufficient to sustain a prosumptiou that it h is been duly delivered. PubI c Improvements—Damage. When private property is demanded by the loca¬ tion and construction of a public improve¬ ment near it, and the property is not es¬ pecially benefited by tlfe improvement, the measure of the property owner's dam¬ age is the difference between the value of the pr< perty immediately before the loca¬ tion and construction of the improvement, and its value immediately afterwards.— Mutual Benefit Insurance—Where the by-laws of a mutual benefit association provide that its members shall be subject to but one as ssessment for each death loss, and one assessment is made from which only part of the amount due on a certificate is plid, mamiamus will not lie to compel the levy of another assessment in order to pay the balance, and it is immaterid whether the first assessment was sufficient to" have paid the claim in full or not. Fraudulent Bepresentations. —Where a merchant represents himself as solvent, though he knows that he is insolvent, and On the strength of such representations subsequently obtains goods, which he pays for, and several mouths after buys more goods from the same person, but makes no further representations, and transfers the iast goods bought to other creditors to secure precedent debts, the seller cannot recover them from the transferee on the ground that the sale was induced by fraudulent and false rep¬ resentations by the purchaser as to his credit; for altbou h the purchaser knew that he was insolvent, and had in fact given unrecorded bills of sale and chattel mortgages on nearly all of his property, yet if, ironi all the circum-tances of the purchaser,‘it appears that the purchaser hoped to extricate himself from his em¬ barrassments and that he intended to pay for the goods, the sale was valid not¬ withstanding his the facts of his of known that fact in¬ solvency, suppression immediate from the seller and his trans¬ fer of the goods to secure other creditors. New Paper for Bank Notes. The secretary of the treasury has issued the following notice in regard to the dis¬ tinctive paper for obligations and other securities of the United States: “Notice is hereby given that the secretary of the tieaiury, by authority of law, has adopt¬ ed a new distinctive paper which will be used until otherwise ordered, for all new designs of United Slates notes, certifi¬ cates, national bank notes and securitu s Other than checks and drafts. The sib. threaded paper, adopted in 1885. will be used for existing designs of said notes, certificates and securit : es until the supply shall have been exhausted, after which the new paper hereby adopted will be used for all obligations of the United States, except checks and drafts.” The paper for United States notes, national bank notes and certificates, is cream white bank note paper. Its dis¬ tinctive features consist of localized red and blue silk fiber incorporated in the body of the paper while in process of manufacture, so placed as to form a per¬ pendicular stripe on either side of the center portraits or vignette of each note and other oblieati< ns. The distinctive paper of similar quality, with each water mark, U. S. T. D., so placed therein that it may show upon each separate check or draft adopted in 1885 for United States checks and drafts, will be contin¬ ued in use t r that, purpose. It Quivered.
