Hon. Joseph L. Brown.

Hon. Joseph f. Brown and wife arrived
in the city yesterday from Washington
via the Charleston and Savannah Rail-
way. en- route for Atlanta. for which city
they left last night by the fast train on
the Central Railroad. The Governor"
as Senator Brown is still called through
out the length and breadth of Georgia,
came by the Atlantic coast route to avoid
the severe weather which now prevails
along the more northern lines, and eX-
pressed himself well pleased with his
trip. We are glad to see that he is much
improved in health; in fact, look
ing better than he has for
years and Ony suffers from a slight
cough As there is no prospect of any
positive legislation on the tariff and reve-
nue. questions now before Congress, for
several weeks, Governor Brown, who as
every one knows, is one of the hardest
working members in the National Legis-
lature. took a short vacation to attend the
meeting of the stockholders of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, which takes place
in Atlanta. this week. During his brief
stay in our city a number of citizens paid
him their respects.

Saturday Night Blaze-The Occu-
pants of the Building Claim to Have
Been Robbed of Several Hundred Dol
lars in Money and Valuable Jewelry'
About $3.50 O'Clock Saturday night an
alarm of fire was sounded from box No, Il,
corner Bay and Jefferson streets, calling
out the department. The hremen were
promptly on hand, and the fire was loca-
ted in small, one-story frame building
at No. DO BRYAN street, between Mont
gomery and West Broad, owned by Mr.. NJ.
It. Ouinan, and occupied as a dwelling
and small grocery shop by Mr.. George
Chambers, engineer on Paulsen & Dick
ersOn's dredge.
Mr.. Chambers, in company with his wife,
left the house about 8 O'Clock. About
half an hour afterward a young lady liv-
ing in an adjoining house saw bright
light i'm the room on the east side OF the
cottage. occupied by Mr.. Chambers and
a moment later discovered it was on fire.
She Immediately gave the alarm and the
signal was rung. The tiremen promptly
PLAYED a stream into the rooms were the
fire was located and the flames were eXtin-
guished before gaining any Roadway.
When Mr.. Chambers returned, about 8
o'clock, the house was full of men and
women and everything was in confusion.
A bed in the room where the fire was sup
posed to have originated was burned and
the furniture badly damaged. The floors
were flooded with water. Some time
after the fire Mrs. Chambers went
to bureau drawer, where she claimed
to have concealed about $40 in gold
and currency, and found the drawer
broken open and the contents gone. a
search was made through the house, but
no trace of it was found. The money till
i'm the shOp-rOOm was also burst open and
several dollars in small coin taken. In
addition to this, Mrs. Chambers claims to
have lost three gold watches, several Yalu-
able rings. including her wedding ring, and
a quantity of other jewelry, which she kept
i'm box and concealed between the bed
ding. The box was found yesterday by
the Waterman in an alley way between
the house and an adjoining building. 1t
was empty. and was evidently thrown
into the alley after the fire was i'll pro-
gress. There are several theories to its
origin. 1t is believed by some to
have been the work of thieves
who plundered the house and set fire to it
to conceal their depredatiOns, but the
most probable theory is that it originated
from spark swapping from the fireplace
(Which had been left unprotected by
screen during the absence of the family
into pile of bedding which lay in the
corner of the room few feet distant. The
loss of the property is not accounted for.
The damage by fire was comparatively
light, and was fully covered by insurance
in companies represented by the Harden
agency

mother. OF quiet, unObtrusive manners,
hardly known outside of our own little family
circle, our mother was to us the dearest
brightest link that bound our hearts to the
"Old Home and the blessed memories of the
past.
As children, our helpless hands are stretched
forth to that earliest friend of our childhood,
and as years roll on and the dear old mother
is still spared to us to gladden. our lives, to
counsel, advise and sympathize with us in our
days of manhOod-to love our children as she
loved and cared for us; then, indeed, do we
feel deeply her loss, and often in our grief and
Loneliness will sing:
''MOther come back from the echoless shore
Take me against your heart as of yOre,
KISS from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smoothe the few silvery threads out of my
hair"
Oh, the enduring tenderness of a mothers
love! A love that transcends all other affec-
tiOns of the heart ''that is never chilled by
seliishness, daunted by danger, weakened by
wOrthlessness, nor stifled by ingratitude."
How the dear mother will sacrifice every
convenience for the comfort of the son she
loves, surrender every pleasure to his enjoy
ment, glory in his fame and eXult in his pros
perity. IL misfortune Overtakes him he only
becomes dearer to her from misfortune, and
even should disgrace settle upon his name the
mother will cherish him still!
Such is a mother, and what other mothers
have been to other sons has our dear old
mother been to her three sons; nay, more, for
the last thirty years of her widowed life was
one long sustained scene of wearied care, low
ing toll and maternal devotion.
Quietly in Laurel Grove she sleeps her last
sleep, ''the nurse of our infancy, the guide of
our youth, the counsellor of our manhOOd's
years"
"Her youth was innocent, her ripper age,
Marked with some act of goodness every
day;
And watched by eyes that loved her, calm and
sage,
Faded, her late, declining years away,
Cheerful she gave her being up, Ind went
To share the holy rest that waits a life well
SPENT"

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The Georgia Observation-Disclosures for
the Secretary-LOuise King AssOcia-
ton.
The Georgia Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, whose headquar-
tiers are in Augusta, and of which Mr.. Ma
than X. Platshek, of this city, is the Sec
rotary, have engaged rooms over the Sa-
vannah Bank and Trust Company as
headquarters for the Louise King Asso-
citation and office for their Secretary. The
increasing amount of correspondence that
passes through the hands of the
Secretary from all parts of the State,
and the Importance of having a
place where the public can lodge
complaints against cruelty to animals,
has rendered this step necessary, and our
citizens and the State of Georgia may rest
assured that the noble work in which this
society is engaged will be properly car
ried out in the future. The rooms will be
elegantly fitted with public and private
offices.
All cruelty happening in this city will
be prosecuted by the Louise King Asse-
citation, while the Georgia Society deVOtes
its attention mainly to missionary work.
Mr.. PIatshek has been engaged to give a
portion of his time to the work, and with
an assistant, will see that everything is
carried out in a proper manner. The Of
flee will be open every day, and in charge
of some competent person, who will reg
lister all complaints for investigation.
Later in the year the society propose en-
gaging a veterinary surgeon, who will
make all arrests and also give free advice
to the poor who may own animals sick,
or otherwise injured. The Georgia So
ciety, under whose direction these head
quarters have been established, are a
strong body, comprising the best citizens
in the State of Georgia, besides receiving
valuable contributions from the North. 1t
is not the purpose of this society to carry
out the work to extreme, but to see that
the Georgia laws for the prevention of
cruelty to animals which is the strongest
in the United States) is rigidly enforced.
All commissioned officers will appear in
uniform when in discharge of their du=
ties, the uniform adopted being the same
as in use by the Royal Society in London.
1t is expected that everything will be in
readiness by the 9TH prOXimO.
