A negro man in Christianburg, Va,
is a habitnal coal.oil drinker. He says
that in cold weather he often drinks a
pint or more at time, and that the
sensation produced is similar to that
of whisky. Very likely. Enough
whisky, we are told, will make man
so sick that a gold dollar will seem

Inc tunnel is now over 1900 yards

Draw Poker as a Disease.

Draw poker is most fascinating
74t deceiving game. One Of the pc
Gliarities Of the game is that the be-
inner, as soon as he finds out that one
Xxrtain kind of hand beats another.
S8d that a bluff, if successful, beats
&hy hand, thinks he can play the game
liter thaa any man. If he holds a
Ng hand once, and bets big on it, and
ares out an old veteran, when he
kes in the money he cocks his hat on
kl1e and thinks how rich he might
l8 been if he had learned to play
yker before. He wonders why eve
Ebody does not give up business and
by poker and get rich. AS he counts
Ter the chips he has won so easily by
eimple display of nerve, he says to
lmself, This game is good enough
M yours truly. Henceforth hard work
Nd me will dissolve partnership" He
1eeps on playing. When he wins his
1T is cooked On one side, and when
~ loses he wears it straight. At first
II is on one side most of the time, then
TIE gets to wearing it straight pretty
frequently, until he finally loses every
dOllar he has got and goes out and
Clubs himself. Men who think they
onn play pretty good game of poker
ind themselves iii large cities, and
hey are not content until they get in
NJ game, and nine times out of ten
they get so everlastingIy scooped that
they can't tell their own names till
they look at them pasted on the inside
Of their hats. However good man
plays there is always some one that
plays better, and they are always ly-
ing for the fellow that can't play as
well as they can, while the country
man is always lying for some one that
can play better. There is no game
better calculated to take the conceit
out of man than poker We have
had it taken oht of us $75 worth by a
coot that didn't seem to know half as
much as we did.
A man has to have the conceit taken
out of him about eleven times before

cot it eradicated from his system he
never catches it again. He can live
right amongst it, where all around
hin are down with it, and he will not

held by Coroner Strong. The investisa
ton showed that the man had been seen
Monday evening about dusk sitting on q
platform nearth switch, and was supposed
to. be under the influence Of liquor.I It il
now supposed that he was very much in,
toxicated and either went to sleep there
and rolled under the car, or crawled
under it and fell nsleep, and that when
ut 1880 Pm. the cars OF the -Grui.

were backed into the siding for the night
as is the custom, the bsggage.car was
pushed fur enough to Just strike the unior.

must have been instantaneous. Letters

addressed to John w. Fleming, aud showed
that he lived at Sandy Hook, Washington

RESIDENT JARRETT h,s declared the

that work will be generally resumed in

that this would constitute Il local issue MS

that while the strike elsewhere has been

here for an indefinite time TO come. The
principal point Of difference here is the iact
that Wheeling has paid % cents per ton
more Tor boiling than Pittsburgh paid. The
'1son for this, us given by the iron work

at' sliiphurous than the Pittsburgh

ATLANTA, September 20-All the Con.
gressional nominating conventions in this
State have been held, and full Congress
sional slate has been made up for arbitra-
tion by the people ut the election 10 be held
in November. The field showsthree Repub.
lican candidates, james Atkins in the First,
A. L. Buck in the Fifth, and Chas. Forsyth
for the State.at.large, and six Independent
Democratic candidates, rs follows: Charles
Wessalowsky in the Second, David Is. Har-
rell in the Third, Joseph F. Pou in the
Fourth, William FELTON, in the Seventh,
Judge Twiggs in the Eighth, and Emery
Speer in the Ninth. To oppose these as.
plrants for, Congressional honors, the
Organized Democrats have named rs their
standard-bearers John G. Nichols of the
First, Henry G. Turner OF the Second,
Charles F. Crisp (brother OF Harry Crisp,
the actor Of The Third, Hugh Buchanan OF
the Fourth, NJ. J. Hammond OF the Fifth,
James Blount Of the Sixth, Judson G,
Clements Of the Seventh, Seaborn Ruse of
the Eighth, Allen Gambler OF the Ninth,
and Tom Hardman for the State at large.
This shows an advance in, the direction
OF 1ndependentism in Georgia, and also
gaining oil strength in Republicanism.
For a year past FELTON, and Speer have
been the only men in the Slate who have
had backbone enough in them 10 tackle
Bourbonism and its corrupt methods in
this State. "Down with Bourbonism in
all Of its shades" is now the prevailing
cry in every election, and com.
bined efforts will be made by Re-
publicans and independent Democrats to
free the State from its ruinous rule
and open wide the gates for prosperity in
Georgia and the South. The outlook is
more encouraging, and unless good deal
OF counting out and ballot box stulfing is
resorted to q majority OF the number elect
ed in November will be Republican and
Independent Democrats. Fclton's and
Speer's election is assured, and most en-
couraging news for anti.Bourbons from all
sections. G,&E,
For the first time in years the Republi.
cans in this State have come forward and
demanded their rights us freemen and In.
dependent Democrats and liberal minded
citizens are going to see that they get
them. When the Bourbons become thor.
oughly satisfied that il the election is not
conducted fairly Congress will take a hand
in declaring the result, i is belied that they
will act honestly and not practice their
skilled methods OF treacbcry. The incom.
ing Legislature, to be elected in about two
weeks, will. from all appearances, be largely
composed Of Independent Democrats and
Republicans. In every county and Sena.
torial district in Georgia either .Independ.
ent Democrats or Republicans are can.
didates agninst the nominees Of the Bour.
bon ring.masters. For the Legislature
there are Il per cent more independent
candidates this year than there were two
years ago, and the outlook for n fine body
Of intelligent and liberal.minded Repre-
sentatives is most encouraging. u,

who had attended his family since he had
been at Sharon Hill, DR.. Longstretli. A
cloud had arisen in Melville's domestic

which had more than once involved her
in trouble and threatened to -engulf him

tim,s there seemed 10 be ground for hope,
the Engineer left his family with many
misgivings. He asked his friends
to look alter his wife and the
little girls, and one day taking the family
doctor aside, suid 10 him: "Look after
them, doctor, | leave them in the hands
Of heaven and Of my friends.p On Friday

first building it struck was Dey's stone tan

Of the walls thrown down on the river
side. Madden's cheese factory, another
strong stone structure, suffered in like
manner, the occupants barely cscap-,
ing with their lives, but several
were badly bruised sby falling tim.
bers. The sleeple oil the Methodist
Church, which stands on the hill about half
square distant from the cheese factory, was
thrown to the ground and portion Of tho
roof carried away. Residences, fences md
frees between these points, covering several
squares, were more or lees damaged. A
portion Of the parsonage, adjoining tho
church, was hurled with such force
against the solid stone side OF the
edifice that 1t made big breach
in the wall. Sweeping on up the street,
the wind lifted the roof OF Mille,'s
dry goods store, Finkle's carriage works
and 4 funiture factory. The southern por-
tion OF the town was spared, but on the
north side OF the river the wreck ia COM
