Atlanta's papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful cases that are quite in
teresting, 1t seems that young lady of At
lanta had been reported as dead, but it came
to the ears of the Atlanta Journal that she
was still alive, and being on the alert for news,
d reporter was sent to the residence to learn
all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who had
been pronounced dead, met him at the door,
stoutly denying that she was dead. She said ;

Mr.. J. L. Rolling will begin work this
morning on his new bakery building to
be erected on the corner of Lemon and
Peck streets, opposite Rafferty, Brothers
stables. AS soon as the building and
oven can be completed, Mr.. Rolling will
begin to supply his customers with
everything to be had of a first-class baker.
1t will be remembered by our readers
that on the night of March 18th thief
entered the apartments of Mr.. l. n. Seip,
over Lilienthars store, and secured be-
tween four and five hundred dollars in
money and jewelry, and when detected
making good his escape. Since that
time an active lookout has been kept up
/ by Mr.. Seip for the thief, and on Monday
/ he secured warrants for the arrest of a
negro known as Shifty Short, living at
! st. Augustine, but who was in Palatka
at the time of the burglary. The ne
| groe's real name is Shufta Freeman, and
he came here from South Carolina, claim
ing to be a detective. He appears to be
about 90 years old, and is of gingercake
color, and bald-headed. He was COM
mitted to Jail by Judge Haughton yester-
day morning to await trial at the circuit
court in default of 81, 200 bail. The evil
%dence against him, while mainly circum-
stantial, is said to be sufficient to secure
his conviction. He had some $40 or $50
in money on his person when arrested.
An unknown negro woman was run
over by yesterday mornings passenger
train and horribly mangled, just beyond
Orange Park, while the train was en-
route from Palatka to Jacksonville.
The engineer saw the woman lying on
| the track but she was so covered that
she had more the appearance of bush
than body, and he never discovered
the difference until too late to stop the
train. The heavy engine and cars pas
] sed over the body, severing the head
legs and one arm from the trunk anC
cutting the body in two just below thC
breast, mangling her so that the larges
portion of the body was the breast anC
one arm, tearing out the heart and scat
tering parts of her body along abou
thirty yards of the track. A physciar
on board the train, on examining por
tons of the body, gave it as his opinion
that she had been dead some time be
fore the train ran over her. Nothing a
to the identity of the woman, or as {,
: how her body came to be on the tract
could be found out, and it is not know
whether the woman was the victim 0
: foul play or not.

Mr.. Arthur is in the prime of life, and
enjoys at his age-fifty years-vig-
orous health. If the careers of the ma
jority Of his predecessors go for anything
he ought to live to good old age. John
Adams lived twenty five years after he
left the White House on the crisp March

of ninety. jefferson passed away on the
same day seventeen years after the expi-

eighty three years old. Madison was Sc

dent twenty years. Monroe survived his
retirement six years, and died at seventy
two. John Quincy Adams attained the
age of eighty, and finally died at the
post of duty in the capitol eighteen years
after the termination of his presidential
service. Andrew jackson lived to be 79,
and died in 1915, eight years after his de-
parture from Washington. Van Buren,
and Tyler were eighty and seventy-two
respectively when they were called
hence, the former having been an ex-

HOUSE


WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Mr. Henley,
from the committee on public lands, re-
ported back a resolution requesting the
president to inform the house what were
the reasons which impelled him to APP
point a commission to examine the line of
the California 4 Oregon railroad, said
railroad having failed to complete its line
within the time required by law. MI.
Oates offered a substitute resolution, re-
spectftIzy requesting the president not to
confirm any favorable report which may
be made by the commission recently ap-
pointed by him to inspect a section of the
California 4 Oregon road, nor order
patents to issue, until the senate acts
upon the house bill FORGETTING certain lands
granted to aid the construction Of that
railroad: nor until after adjournment of
present congress. He offered this substi-
tute. he said. because he did not think
the original resolution was exactly respect
full to the president and would not ac-
comphsh the purpose intended. The sub
stitute was ruled out on a point Of order.
Mr.. Henley demanded the previous ques-
ton. but no quorum voted, and Mr., Hon
raised that point, saying such an outrage
should not be perpetrated on the execu-
tive without debate. The previous ques-
ton was seconded. llG to At, on the vote
BY tellers. Mr.. Steele moved to lay the
resolution on the table. Lost-42 to IS.
The resolution was then passed. House
then proceeded Il the consideration Of
business under special rule.

SuAKIM, Feb. l3.-Small parties Of
hostile Arabs have reappeared to menace
the garrison. A spy returned from Hes
helm, the place where u reconnoitering
party Of hussars and Egyptians were at
tucked on the 3rd inst. The hussars got
as far as Handoub without opposition, but
having on their way burned a native vii
laee without reason, they were attacked
on their return at Hesheim, which is
about three miles from Handoub. The
attacking party lay in ambush, and the
Arab fire was so terrible that the hussars
could not face it, and saved themselves
from humiliation by retreating at full
gallop in the rear to Suakim. Eight
hussars and three Egyptians were lost.
Col. Neeman, commanding at Suakim, in
reporting the incident, stated that the
officer in command of the hussars had
exceeded his authority in ordering the
burning of the Arab village. Spies were
at ono sent put to ascertain the fate Of
the missing troopers. A spy who re-
turned could learn nothing, but he found
in the desert near the fight several articles
of clothing which evidently belonged to
the missing men. The spy brought
these articles to Suakim. All were
pierced as if by spears. The spy reports
he found the enemy encamped at Hes
helm.
LONDON, Feb. l3.-The conservative
papers charge the government with
suppressing Gen. Gordon's dairy and let
tens, in which Gordon stated that he sent
Col. Stewart away from Khartoum in or
der to ave his (Stewart's) life, intending
himself to meet death at Khartoum, rs
he knew no help could reach there in time
to Erescue him. When parliament as
sembles the production Of the dispatches
to the government in regard to the Sou
dan will be demanded.
Harrington. secretary Of state for war.
advises the acceptance of the offers from
Canada and New South Wales to send
| troops to Soudan, but the war Office au-
thorities oppose the propositions. The
question will be referred to the cabinet for
decision Owing to the opposition of the
Duke of Cambridge, commander in chief,
and other officers, it is probable that the
ministers will decide to inform Canada and
New South Wales, that their assistance is
not needed.

bodies we're found to-day in the ruins Of
the burned insane asylum at the Blockley
almshouse. They were removed to the
dead house aud placed side by side with
the bodies of the seven who were suifo-
Gated and removed from the building last
night. The burned bodies are horribly
disfgured, some Of them being burned to
a crisp. After a days thorough search
the alnishouse authorities feel convinced
that these eighteen burned and suffocated
maniacs, all of whom occupied cells on
the third floor Of the building, are all
that persisted. and that all the other COG
inmates were rescued and are now in
custody in the other department Of the
buildings.

tai competition where forced on us by the
ambition Of those desiring to improve
their condition, or by the cupidity Of those
great employers who were Indifferent as
to the means they employed to swell their
already eggregious gains. The nations Of
this earth. under this doctrine Of national
rights, had been dumping their paupers
and criminals and dangerous and uneasy
classes upon us until, in his Qngalls)
opinion, in view Of recent events in New
York, Cincinnati and Chicago, the time
had come to consider whether we might
not be called on to modify in some de-
gree our views as to the significance of
the declaration Of American independence
and universal rights Of man.
Senator Bayard did not see the present
direct application Of Mr.. Ingalls, re-
marks. These remarks we're directed
against Communistic forces which pro-
posed to array numbers against property.
1t was not, however, BY bills of this char
acter that such forces were to be met, but
by measures amending our criminal laws
so as to punish unrelentlingly the foes to
human society whose doings and threat
enings had been averted by Mr.. Ingalls,.
That was the obvious right and obvious
duty Of every state as a means of self
preservation. But this bill was not
leyelled at difficulties involved in dyna-
mite Mr.. Bayard hen analysed the bill
to show that its provisions were imprac-
ticable.
Senator Sherman defended the bill. IL
was directed not against freemen. but
against men who were not their own
masters-who did not come as free in
diyiduals, but were imported in a body at
a p~re-arranged price, to compete with
free and intelligent American working
men. II was not a race discrimination
He (Shermanl had voted against the
Chinese bill, and would have opposed any
discrimination on account of nce. After
further debate the senate, without action,
adjourned.
