CRIME AND CALAMITY,

Accidents Happening ON Land and Sea.
At Macon station, on the Alabama
Central railroad, a man named Carpenter
was shot in tho head three times by his
brother-in law, A. w. Smyth. Smyth
soon afterward shot himself twice in the
breast. Is is thought both men will die.
1t appears that Carpenter ill-treated his
wife, who was Smiths sister.-A widow,

terday morning, and three of his children
whose ages ranged from to 10 years,
perished from suffocation.
Bridget Reilly, a widow with six chill

more Cases Reported ed--Freveniive and Ko.

Mamie Snyder, daughter of Michael
Snyder, of the PlOw tavern, is suffering
from comparatively light attack OF
smallpox. The case was reported too late
for publication yesterday. Mr.. Snyder
has closed his house and sent other mem
bers of his family to place of safety.
The health officers complain that q lad
named Campbell, residing in CampbelPs
alley, who was sick from variOlOid and
attended by private physician who failed
to report the case to the board of health,
has been permitted during his GONZALES
cence, to run about the streets, Thus en-
dangering the health of others. The
doctors say that a person suffering t, ON a
very slight attack of variOlOid may con-
municate to another person smallpox in its
most virulent form.
Proposed Smallpox Hospital.
The county commissioners, board of
health and poor directors, who had con-
ference yesterday, came to the conclusion
that it is desirable to provide building
for smallpox patients. Several sites were
viewed, and it was decided that the most
desirable location was on knoll of ground
on the left hand side Of tho road leading
from the county hospital to the bridge
that crosses the COnestoga in rear of the
public buildings, and about four hundred
yards from them. An architect was en-
ployed to make draft OF suitable build
ing, which will be presented to the court
and grand jury at its next session on the
third Monday of August, and if approved
by them will be built by the commissioners.
This delay is deemed necessary as the
commissioners believe they have no author
ity to act without sanction of the court.

the Secret of Trus Dignity.

London Spectator.
The common note Of all men who are
remarkable for true dignity is, however, a
conscious self respect =; and this is getting
less and less common as the contempla-
tive temper merges in the competitive
temper Of modern time. Mr.. Arnold
has, with more than his usual skill, de-
scribed the dignity of the East, in its con
trast with the restlessness of the West, in
the lines in which he paints the East for
the Roman conquests
"The East bowed low before the blast,
In patient, deep disdain
She let the Legions thunder past.
And plun.e in thought again.
You have the whole secret of true dignity
in that verse. It is patient it is inward,
and it really prefers the inward to the out
ward scenery. Dignity cannot ba impa-
tient it cannot be external yet even if
mind is both patient and inward, it will
have no true dignity SO long as its whole
feeling for the inward scenery it con-
templates is that Of displeasure and
disapprobati0n. A dignified man
must feel certain amount OF interest and
pleasure in expressing himself adequately
in speech and conduct. He must keenly
value the moral symmetry of his own
thoughts, and also tho symmetry of his
thoughts with his action, and therefore
it is that in the externality and hurry and
irritability of our day dignity is starved.

A Young Couples joyful Kounion.

Three weeks ago neat, pretty, modest
young woman came to the St. Nicholas
hotel Portsmouth Ohio, and engaged board.
She gave her name as Laura Martin OF
Poplar Grove, KY. Without loss of time
she sought and obtained employment in q
clothing factory, Her manners were ex.
ceedingly reserved, and she made no
acquaintances, but worked assiduously
and earned money. On Saturday after.
noon Albert Finley, tall we'll clad hand.
some young Kentucky farmer from
Richmond, in that state, put up at the
same hotel. The strange lady and the
young farmer met. She saw in him q
husband from who she had run away in a
pet month ago. He saw in her a wife
whom he had been seeking penitently in
vain for a month. 1t was joyful meeting
to both. They kissed and made up and
took passage on the steamer, next night,
both seeming to be perfectly happy.

Seaside SENSATION.
Excitement over the Death of Clsriss,
Bounds,

Excitement over the Death OF Clarissa
Bounds.
At Atlantic City, public interest in the
extraordinary circumstances attending the
death of Clarissa Bounds has been rather
increased than otherwise by a verdict
from the coroner's jury. finding that her
injuries were received accidentally,
and exonerating all parties from
blame. The verdict is greatly
criticised. She was handsome but wild
young girl, who left her homo several
months ago and began to frequent a coal
pit in the pine forests about ten miles
from there, where four men named John
Thomas. Sol and Glenn Manning and Joe
Kelsey worked. At two O'clock one
morning she sprang from her slumber
beside them enveloped in flames. She
was swfully burned, her hip bones pro-
truding from the flesh. yet her wounds
were not dressed for week. She was
hauled over the neighborhood from one
stupid justice Of the peace to another, and
finally died under suspicious Of foul play.

EVENING. JULY II. 1888.
The Republicans Responsible.

The kepuDllC0uS hcsPV"S
Utdoes not look as though the Repub-
,;can Senate intended that the appor-
t;onment of the state should be changed.
The mandate of the constitution is that
IT shall be done; but that of the Re
publiean caucus is otherwise. The
responsibility for failure to apportlon
will rest upon the Senate and the lie
publican party, in the public judgment,
for very good reasons. 1t is obvious to
everyone, that the Republicans gain by
keeping the present apportionment,
which was made when they were in
power in the Legislature and which gives
them more than their proportion OF
representatives. A new apportionment
would benefit the Democracy, because it
would necessarily concede them larger
representation than they now have.
They are admittedly entitled to this ana
any change made would be In their
favor. Since it is clear how the interests
of The parties lie, it is obvious which one
is responsible for the defiance OF the
constitution, involved in failing to ap'
portion the state.
Then the Democratic governor has
reconvened the Legislature for no other
purpose than to make an apportionment
it has failed to make. If it fails again 1t
is not likely that he will reconvene It,
He has sufficiently put upon the Legls
lature the responsibility for its failure to
obey the fundamental law. That re
sponsibility is fixed upon the political
antagonists of the state administration
It has been made too clear for dispute
that the Democratic desire is to have the
state reapportioned. 1t is immaterlal to
the point in question, which is Simply
the responsibility for non obedience to
the constitution, that the Democrats may
be charged with desire to obey the con
stitution because they find their profit in
it. Whatever their motive, the fac,
remains that they are not responsible
for the violation of the constitution. Ii
the Legislature aljourns without max
ing an apportionment it is perfectly clea1
that all the Odium for the violation OF
the constitution will fall on the Republi
can party and they will not find it easy
to bear.
