The Labor FederatiOn's Delegates Give

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-It was cxs
pected that Herr John Most would meet
the delegates of the Federation of Labor
at their hall last night, for the purpose OF
an interchange of views on the labor
question. This meeting did not take
place. Herr Most waited at his ho-
tel to be sent for; but it
appears that stormy debate
took place in the Federation, starting from
the Book Binders Union, some express.
ing fears that the question of dynamite
and violence might be brought up should
such meeting take place. The discus
sion ended in disruption caused by the
outspoken expressions of Know Nothing
ism, Herr Most being German and the
Federation of Labor being about equally
divided between native born and for
eigners.
Tonight Herr Most delivered a speech
to wOrkingmen, the greater part of which
was devoted to a defense of himself
against newspapers, which, he said, had
unjustly charged him with advising mur-
der, robbery, the burning of granaries. the
destruction of labor-saving machinery.

Voking overt disturbances among the
German working classes, but as any such
attempt would be disastrous to the people.
1t is not likely that it will be made real

peace of the continent, but the very ex-

Miss Fannie Andrews, of Washington.
Ca, better known in the literary world as
''Ellzy Hay" is spending the summer
with the family of DIR. w. H.. Taliaferro
of this city. Miss Andrews is one of
Geergia's most gifted female writer's, and
her published works have never failed to
win substantial reputation. AS letter
writer she has no superior in the State,
and few in the whole country.
am also reminded that Mrs. James c.
COOK, OF Columbus, the talented authOress
OF Ante-Bellum and GA Woman's
Perlls," is now engaged upon new work
OF fiction, and persons capable of Judging
express the opinion that il will add much
to her already well-established and Justly
deserved reputation as one of the most ac-
compHshed writer's of fiction in the South
Her modest worth has kept her name from
being identified with ftllsOme praise and
cheap literary not0riety.
Mrs. Cook Is domestic woman as well
as a member Ofthe Iiterati, and her home
life and Surroundings are quite asattract-
i've and meritorious as her most brilliant
literary productions, The walls of sSBel-
znQnts y her lhRalltif iflal .suhnEhaa slasiAsneb
at atColumbus, are adorned with many evi.
dences of her skill as an artist, and her
excellent taste as a housekeeper can be
seen IN the kitchen as we'll as in the par
lor. Such noble women prove that 1t is
not necessary for a woman to win fame
in the literary world at the expense Of the
home comfort and happiness of her hus-
band and children. No Southern writer
has more gracefully combined domestic
duties with literary labor so that neither
has suffered from the union.
Atlanta is just now making substantial
in many things that she has fail
ed in heretofore. The Gate City Guard
has been redeemed and put on a solid
basis; we have fine cavalry corps almost
perfected, and the Capital City Club rs
now fully organized. This social club
has leased the elegant residence of DIR. II.
V. NJ. Miller, near the post office, where
they will be able to entertain distinguish
ed visitors to the .'Gate City, in the best
style. We have other new social Organi-
cations of an important character.

PISTOL SHOTS NEAR LORNE.
The Firing Done at Midnight in GrOv
Near His Residence


OTTAWA, ONT, April 18.-An incident
at Rideau Hall last night caused consid-
cradle alarm in the viceregal household,
and this morning was discussed in the
Cabinet councils. Soon after midnight a
policeman named Geddes heard pistol
shot in the grove between the Government
House and Lieut.. Col. de Winton's resi-
dence, followed in quick succession by
three other shots. Officer Geddes rushed
toward the grove, and saw tall man
retreating. Remembering his implicit
instructions not to leave his post
ON any account he returned to his
beat, and the man escaped. Officer
FallOn, who was on an adjoining beat,
met officer Geddes returning. He also
heard the shots. The Superintendent of
Police attaches little Importance to the
occurrence. He believes that the officers
drew upon their Imagination for their
facts as to seeing a man emerge from the
grove. There is a small lake near the
grove, and it is asserted that the shots
were fired by a Frenchman who Occa-
sionally shoots musk rats which abound
there. Whatever be the correct theory,
there is no doubt that the shots were
fired and that considerable alarm was
occasiOned thereby.

Indian Springs the Scene of Destruc-

MACON, April 1S-A fire broke out at
Indian Springs this morning at 10 O'Clock
in Lamar's store, destroying the Mcintosh
House and the stores of Mr.. Lamar, Mr..
Sanders, Mr.. Alexander and Mrs. Allen.
With the exception of Mr.. Lamar's, there
was no insurance upon any of the stores.
Even the Lamar store was but partly
insured. 1t was asserted positively that
the fire was the work of an incendiary and
that there could not possibly be any other
cause. The loss will range somewhere in
the neighborhood of $4,000. On the Nc
IntOsh House there is no insurance.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 1S.-R. p.
Russell g. Co.'s Model Flour Mill was

also pressed the matter in private
conversations upon the attention of Judge
McCay and Attorney General Speer. and
told them l should keep up the fight until
a reform was inaugurated. And when
the Hon. A. 2. Stewart was made foreman
OF the grand jury of the court, earnestly
urged him to investigate the matter.
Since that time wonders have been ac-
complished. Howard has been convicted
from purified jury box and purged
witness stand; witnesses and Jury tam
perers are under Indictment: two DEPUTY
marshals are prOsecuted-One already
convicted-for fraudulent practices; the

changed, and prospects of other improve

1--WE would respectfully recommend
that the great evil Of issuing warrants
sworn out by persons of notoriously bad
character should be avoided. We find
quite number of cases where the prose-
cutor and the greater number OF the wit
nesses are of doubtful veracity, hence we
tnd great trouble in acting upon such
testimony. We find that persons are
often brought here who know absolutely
nothing Of the cases. Yet the gov
ernment is burdened with the ex-
pense of paying their mileage and
per diem fees. Another evil is that of
persons known as professional Jurors
frequenting the court house for the pur-
pose of securing the position of Jurors.
We hold that every good citizen Should
be willing to serve a reasonable time as
juror when called upon, but he Should
wait patiently and not seek the position.

SURPRISING.

Suppose you lived in little greenhouse
And over your head a canopy spread
With light for the warp and wool,
While mother-bird cuddled you under her
wing
Whenever leaflet stirred,
Suppose-why, don't you suppose you'd be
As happy asa bird?
Suppose you lived meath the sunny sky
In the meadows fair and wide,
And drank of the stream and nibbled the
grass,
And skipped by your mothers side,
And cooled your feet in bubbling brook
Where your woolly playmates swan,
suppose, now-dont you suppose you'd be
As happy asa lamb?
suppose you swung on a slender stem
Where your siSter-roses hung
Wlth graceful nod for each passing breeze
But heart where the dewdrops clInp.
And burning cheek like the crimson Streak
That fair in the sunrise glows.
SuppoSe-ah, yes, | suppose you'd be
AS sweet asa blushing rose
But suppose your mamma knows
A secret sweeter by half.
If she should hear she'd fold Won cIosa
And answer with a laugh
she say; Why, here's my singing-bird,
My precious little lamb,
MY sweetest rose"-and you would say:
I'm nicer as I am
