Last Sunday ( ' afternoon, while Sabbath school was in session, a distinguished divine of, I our city, in passing down the silse, I was seen to stoop and pick up a card —the tray of spades. After a brief , survey of the It tie waif, he laid in on ’ a pew near where W 1 re seated a ccu -1 pie or more young men, saying : | . “Boys, some of you have lost a card,” I and qnietly resumed bis walk. We ; learn, however, the boys stoutly dis i claim any ownership in the little es tray. So one played “high,” anoth er “jack,” and the third “game.” : while the fellow who played “low” couldn’t be found. s* The differences that have existed for some time between the City Council Gt Macon and the Southern Telegraph Company, with regird to the payment of the 1500 license im posed by the dity, have at last b?en , settled. The matter was argued in I Atlanta and a ecision rendered by wbic i the receiver for the Southern Company is instructed to pay to-day S2OO of the lijense money, and the balance within thirty days. In the •vent this is not done, the injunction is in force at present against the city will be dissolved, and away opened for the city to proceed against the company.

All that could be seen was a man’s legs as they disappeared out of one of the car windows. Two men, who sat in the seat in front, jumped up quickly and tried to grab the man’s legs, but they were too late. Th* man who jumped out of the window was William H. Browning. He was handcuffed and on his way to West Chester to answer the charge of bigamy. The men who satin front of him were Sheriff Baker and Deputy Sheriff Hoopes, of West Chester, who went to New York last Friday to bring on their pirsoner. The train was running 35 nrles an hour at \he time Browning jumped. In getting out of the window he carried the en tire sash with him. Sheriff Biker hurried into the nextcjn and told Brakeman Fitz gerald what had happened. The Brakeman brakemaA raft to the tor war 1 end of the train, which consist ed of ten cars, and told Conductor I William Jones, who pulled the bell and the train was stopped, but not until it had r‘ach' d Tullytown, five miles this side of where the man made the awiul leap. She iff Baker and Deputy Hoopes got off the train . and, after borrowings lamp from | the operator at the station, started back along the milroad,exjieeiing to find Browning’s dead body. After walking to the south end of Mor risville, four miles back, they picked up Browning’s hat. The ofti'-er searched about until after midnig'it. i but could not find their escaped , prisoner, and aUindoiied further, search until morning. They stopped over night in Mor ! rLville, and yester<lay morning bright and early started out. They found blood stains near where the ’ hat was found. The stains were found I along the track, on the railroad lies, as fur as B istol, a >listance of nine miles, where the trail abruptly stoppe 1. Sheriff Biker visited the Bristol police and left the cnse in then bands,and he and his deputy rvturneu last last neght to West Chester.

He was tiied in New Yoik la.-,t Thnrsdty on the charge ct kating the newrel aud youngest ot his wives, but through intimidation she testified so that Browning was acquitted.
