A BLACKMAILING DODGE.
One or the PeriIs of Carrying COn-
cealed Weapons.
Letter in Elberton (Ga J Ne,ps.

4 little episode happened in Ghatta-
no0ga can meyer forget. Having to lay
over there for siE hours, ! went to the
hotel, engaged a room and took a nap.
With the usual precaution of persons
travelling in strange place, l brought
from home. in my valse, medium size
Smith ,S Wesson pistol. When l went
to bed I took it from my yalise, and
placed it, with my watch and some money,
under the pillow of my bed. l went to
sleep soundly, and only few minutes
before my train was to leave bid the
waiter awake me. l hardly had
time to get ready My valise was lock-
ed, and not thinking that had time to
put my pistol back in the valise, | hur-
riedly put it in my pocket. When l
STOPPED al tie lotel Office to settle my
bill, in taking out my pu!se | thfew the
tail of my coat up SO that to a person
looking the concealed weapon was plain
ly visible. At this hotel was a man who
came NY fr1E Atlantis and seemed very
much inclined to be friendly, as we were
on the train together. Unfortunately he
was looking at me when the pistol was
exposed, The eontemptlble tramp step
ped up and said
"Sir, do you know 1t is against the
law to carry a concealed weapon? Ishall
have to take charge of your
l was astonished. Recovering my
self possession, and having neither the
time nor inclination to be stopped over
indefinitely On a r4aLteF like this, told
him to step back IN my room and |
would convince him that what he had
seen was not wrong. | was confident he
wanted money, and | resolved TO give
him few dollars to keep hush. He step
ped back with me- and just as We got in
side the'rooll heard the bell OF the en-;
gine ringing al which was 10 traVel.
quickly offered him i've dollars. He
wanted twenty FIVE dollars. Putting my
hand in my pocket as If to get the money,
1 drew the pistol, and covering him
with it, told him that if he moved an
inch or uttered a cry | would shoot him
dead on the spot. Backing to the door,
l hagtily locked him in the room, pressed
to the once, thrsy the key oa the eoun-
ter, told the clerk there was |, crazy man
in my room. and not to venture there
until he got q couple of policemen
knowing this would delay matters until
/ could get away.
I caught the train just as the last
coach was passing the last switch, and
don't know till now what has become of
my 'insane" friend But one thing is
certain, that hereafter / will always put
my pistol in my Ealiea, no meter how
little time / have. ! was put to the last
scratch TO get out of this scrape, and it
scared me badly.

choice in either case.
Senator Brannan moved an adjournment
Of the convention, and the motion was car
ried-ayes So, nays 41-and the convention
adjourned until tomorrow.
Judge Van Alstyne, in his charge to the
grand jury this morning, referring to the
alleged bribery cases, said: 'Perhaps it be-
comes me at this time to call your attention
to another class of offenses, regarding which
| am not specially called upon to charge
you, but time may demand, more than JUS
tify, that which l shall say. There
have been upon the statute books of
the State for some time laws in
regard to the acceptance of gratuities or
considerations for official acts on the part of
public officers. l will read you some of
them" The Judge then read from the
statutes of 1869 and from the constitution
of the State, and called the attention of the
grand jury to the reports made
through the public press of the
attempted bribery of member
of the Legislature. He said: ga paper
laid upon our table this morning brings
this with it: English enemies of American
institutions are rejoicing at Mr.. Conkling's
attempt to discredit his opponents by a
charge of bribery. Why? Because they are
the enemies of American institutions. They
are the enemies of our republican form of
government, and they know, as every citi-
zen knows, CnaJ unless Jnere is purity In
men and purity in the administration Off
GERS in a republican government its days
of existence are already told. There never
was a time, that l remember, in the history
of the world, when the struggle was going
on more fiercely than 1t is to-day between
those who are in favor of the maintenance
of strong government and those who are
in favor of the rights of the people, as rep
resented in a republican government.
"The rich AID the poor, the world over,
stand face to face In opposition, and we are
to look at it to see what the results of
their conflict are to be. These enemies of
American institutions believe that as cor
ruptions grow up among the people there
will be but single result following there
from, and that is, instead of the nduct of
public affairs in the manner in which they
have been conducted here in this country
in the past, since the days of the revolution,
there will be a change, at least so far as
the form Of government is concerned, and
that instead of having representatives
of the people chosen for limited time by
tine voice of the people, they will be heredi-
tarY. There will be monarch or king, and
the government will be strong In It's power
to aid the few and oppress the many"

THE GERMAN CABINET.
Outgivings Upon the Changes In the
Ministry

BERLIN, June 20-The Emperor has ac-
cepted the resignation of Count Won stol-
berg Wernigerode as Vice President OF the
Ministry Of State, and presented him with
high order In consideration of his services.
1t is stated that his resignation is due to
private considerations and is not connected
with appointment of Baron Won Boetticher
as Prince Bismark's substitute. The Post
says the office of Vice President of the Min
istry OF State will remain untitled for the
present.
MANCHESTER, June 20.-The Guardians
correspondent at Berlin reports that much
surprise is felt because Baron Won Boet-
techer has been appointed as substitute for
Prince Bismarck, instead of Count Won
Stolberg Wernigerode. The changes in
the Prussian Ministry signify an energetic
pursuance Of the present policy, both in
tcclesiastic and in general affairs. Herr
Won Gassler, the new Minister of Public
Worship, is inclined to favor peace with
the Vatican.

The Riots In HTarseilIes.

MARsEILLEs. June 20.-It is asserted that
five persons wounded in the fight between
the French and Italians yesterday are dead,
and that two are DIVING. There are seven
teen wounded in the hospital. One hun
dred and twenty five persons have been ar
rested. Order appears to be perfectly re-
established.
PARIS, June 20.-In the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day NJ. Constans, Minister of
the Interior, replying to question, said
the fighting in Marseilles began by num-
ber of Italian laborers attacking a party of
French workmen. This caused reprsals,
and in the ensuing series of affrays four
persons were killed and seventeen wound
ed. He added that every precaution had
been taken to preserve the peace.
The Journal deS De0dts admits that the
Italians were the first to foment the quarrel
by Kissing, but remarks that that did not
justify the action of the municipality for
the excesses which occurred on Saturday.

AGHEs.-Unleached wood ashes
contain oil the constituents of plant
food that the ordinary or worn out
soil needs, except nitrogen. By their
chemical action they render much of
the inert nitrogen In soils available,
and in that way may be said to fur
nish nitrogen. This is true of lime,
and on this power Of making nitrogen
availkble the greatest power of lime,
when applied as fertilizer, depends.
Ashes also have q good mechanical
effect upon the soil, especially heavy
clay soils, which are made lighter
and more porous, so that air and water
circulate more freely. Ashes do not
suffer waste by being washed out. to
the extent that il true Of the more
soluable and concentrated fertilizers
sold in the markets-tbeir effects are
more lasting.
