The chairman then thanked the audience
for their kind attention, and hoped they
might all attend the next reunion, after
which the lynn band discoursed some excel
lent music.
During the afternoon dancing was enjoyed
in the spacious pavilion to music by Gloyer's
orchestra.
Many of the excursionists engaged in foot
ball, which was very exciting at times, not to
say dangerous.
A game of base ball was started between
the Dew Drops and Fear Nots, but only
three innings were played, the score at the
close being 10 to in favor of the Dew Drops.
Everything passed off in harmonious
manner, and the guests expressed themselves
as much pleased with the excursion. All
returned to the city about $50 o'clock.

The Murphy Murderers.

The second trial of the murderers
of Cap. Murphy, in New Orleans,
ended at midnight last Saturday in
verdict of "gnilty'' as to Pat Ford
and John Murphy, and of man
slaughter as to Judge Thos. J. Ford,
W. E. Caulfeld and William Buck
ley. The execution of two of the
condemned men and the incarcera-
ton of the three others for a term
Of years in the penitentiary is the
penalty to be paid. The verdict is
something of a surprise and not al
together satisfactory to the friends Of
justice, for while it was proved that
Judge Ford actually took no part in
the shooting, twas pretty clearly
proven that he was an accessory be
fore and after the fact-really the
leading spirit who concocted and en-
gineered the conspiracy and murder.
Either this, or he was entirely inno-
cent, and should have been acqult-
ted.

Railroad Fare and the EXPOSE
ton.

In the New Orleans papers last
week VIC noticed that IL was q SUBJ
ject of remark on the part of North
ern and Western people that so few
Southern PEOPLE, comparatively, are
pa,ronizing the Exposition, and es-
pecially Southern people in adjacent
States like Mississippi, Alabama,
etc. The explanation is not at all
difficult, particularly if we may
Judge by expressions on the subject
In this city and section. 1t is on
account of no lack of interest in the
Exposition, but because Of what is
considered an unjust discrimination
in railroad fare--a discrimination
that many are unable to pay, al
though they be ever so willing.
Persons from the North and West
get an immense reduction on regu-
lar rates TO and from the Exposition,
while people in Mississippi and
other States enjoy a reduction of
only about two sixths below regular
local rates.
BY pursuing such policy we can
didly think the railroads are stand
ing very much in their own light
and the financial success OF the Ex-
position. As it Is, many who would
otherwise make frequent trips to
the Exposition will only go a few
times; whilst hundreds of
others who would at least 60 once
or twice, despite their poverty and
the hard times, will not go at all.

Failure OF 8. D. McNalr IL Co.

With no small degree of regret do
we chronicle the failure of the firm
that forms the caption of this arti-
Gle, and indeed will such news be
received with great surprise and
general regret. The house was
closed on Wednesday by an attach
ment of Dobbins & Daisy, Commits
sion merchants, of New Orleans,
with whom the house was in arrears
The failure of this firm is one OF
the most disastrous calamities that
could have come upon our sister
city, just at this time, as they had
attracted more trade and displayed
more business vim in their particu
lar line than any other house in the
place, ard it was noticeable fact
that by their vim they have attract
ed a following in the same business
that made Martin a market that is
second tn none in the county.--Port

II, as the above intimates, Mr.. Nc

matter for him To have written some
copy for the paper, before going on

and business men of Athens, agree to
