effects. There was also letter to her in
mans handwriting, but with no sigma
ture, dated at Waynesboro, May 3D.. and
telling her to meet the writer at the JEFF
fersOn House, in that town, on Saturday
night.
Only two witnesses were examined be-
fore the Jury. Mr.. W. M. Brown, a
clerk at Wayt & Bros. drug store, stated
that he recognized the bottle containing
the remnant of chloroform, as one he had
sold to a lady on Wednesday morning.
She asked for chloroform, and witness
asked her how much she wanted. She an
swered that she did not know the quantity
He then showed her o. bottle and she
said that was too small. Then showed
her OF. bottle, and she said that was it
that the lady she was getting it for wanted
that sized bottle. Witness asked her if she
had been in the habit of using chloroform
and knew how to take it. She replied that
the LADY, had used it regularly. knew
that it was dangerous and would not take
too much. She seemed perfectly com
posed at the time, and was alone. Sold
her no strychnia or other poison, nor die
any one else in the store to my knowledge
DR.. Getzendanner testified that he had
made a naked-eye examination of the body
and in the light of the letters read did moi
think it necessary to have an autopsy
The presence of the bottle of chloroform
and white powder, taken in connection
with the rigidity of the body, the indica
lions of congestion about the neck an6
back, and the intense compression of The
interlaced fingers, led him to the concIu
sion that death had resulted from the use
of both chloroform and strychnia. HI

THE ATLANTA wHISKEY SUIT.

Judge McCay Decides all the Points in
Favor of the Prohibitionists.
Last Thursday morning in the Uni.
ted States Court Judge McCay decided
the contested election case growing
out of the recent Prohibition election
in Fulton county. He had previously
granted a temporary order restraining
the ordinary from announcing the
result OF the election which was in
favor of prohibition. The Judge re-
fused to continue the Injunction, de-
Gliding the case against the liquor men
on every point.
There is in the bill adopted pro-
vision that Georgia wines may be sold,
but as wines from other States were
excluded, that portion Of the bill Judge
McCav decides to be unconstitutional,
and that no wines can be sold.
Judge Marshall j. Clark, Of Fulton
County Superior Court, has granted 8
temporary injunction to restrain Or
dinary Calhoun from announcing the
result of the Prohibition election. He
set Monday last to hear argument on
the question of making the injunction
perpetual.

ouired for the fiscal year ending June
50, 1887. The total amount estimated
as REQUIRED for all the expenses Of the
Government is SS39, ,5S0,552 which is
S15,67S,15S more than the sum called
for in the estimates submitted last
wear, and S5,S26,7l0 more than the
aggregate of the appropriations for
present fiscal year. The estimates for
1855 were S32S, ,91l, 1894 and the appro-
priations for the same year were $685.
762,S42. The estimates for 1887 are
made up of tae following items: Leg

The Southern Forestry Congress.

The session of the Southern States
'orestry Congress at Defuniak, Fla,
sst week, was largely attended by
elegates from Florida and the neigh
ering Southern States and from
Iorthern States. Interest in forestry,
) shown by the large delegation of
representative men, has more than
tlflled the expectations Of Governor
Arry, Patron of this first Southern
Brestrv Congress. An interesting
!Sture of the exercises was the plauu-
Il and dedication Of trees in a ma
',hal circle to every State and Terri
ely in the Union. In the circle of
d!h honor live oak trees were dedicated,
ylh imposing ceremonies, to Oliver

How Hustled Used the Gavel.

81 make no secret of acknowledging
just where I learned to use the garel,
Gen. Hustled went on to say. ut was
in the Masonic lodge. | di7ulge no
unrevealed mystery of the order when
I say that the gavel is nowhere so su-
preme as IN the Grand lodge 1t is
supremacy itself. To it the delegates
bend as quickly as privates in great
army, as the members of every parlla-
mentary or deliberative body should
remember an incident ia my career
at Albany which is timely here. 1t is
customary when the cxigencies OF busi.
ness-as in the case of the election OF
regents of the university Of the state OF
Ney York or United States senator's
call the senate and assembly into joint
session, for the lower to receive the
upper house in its chamber. The
courtesieS and customs Of these seS-
sions demand that on the entrance OF
the senate the assembly shall rise. On
several occasions before l first became
speaker of the assembly, [ had wit
messed those ceremonies. l recalled
the fact that in each case the speaker,
when the senate was at The door, re-
ouested the assembly to rise To my
notion this was exceedingly uudignited
and reflected on the department of the
assembly, who ought to know its duty
as well as its presiding officer. Think
how gentleman would feel walkinginto

not spit on the floor. resolved that
if ever became speaker, and l am free
to confess | had no doubt OF it, things
would be differently done. During my
first term q joint session became neces-
sary. The looked-for opportunity was
at hand. On the day fixed and at the
hour the sergeant-at-artnS announced
the arrival OF the senate in the usual
form. During the pause which fol-
lowed raised my gayel, and looking
calmly at the house brought it down
three times in Succession. The next
moment seventy-tiro men were on their
feet. and naturally those who did not
respond at once arose by inspiration.
A single blow later on, when ,;e senate
was received. brought the Whole as
sembly to sitting posture. After adj
journment an cx-speaker came to me
to find out how it happened that the
assembly arose without the usual re,
quest. / asked the members to rise,

Several periodical comets may be |
expected to return to perihelion
during the present year. Encke's
comet he's already put in an appear
ance, having passed its perihelion
ON the 7th of March. 1t was de-
tected in 1854, but as comets tech
nically belong to the year in which
they pass perihelion, Enckes comet
finds place on the records Of 1885.
This comet is our oldest friend
among the class to which it belongs,
for it wss first seen in 1886, though
its periodicity was not discovered
till 1919. Since that time, it has
not failed to make us a visit at in
tervals Of about 81 years.
Oilers comet is another celestial
guest whose return is looked for
during the present year. 1t was
discovered by Olbcrs in 1915, anG
was found by Bessel to have per-
iod of about IS years. l. will
therefore probably appear either
this year or the next. 1t will be
as warmly welcomed, if it deign te
make US second visit, as the Genet
of 1872, or the Pons- Brooks comet,
was last year, for it will rank as
third on the list of comets of long
period that have made more than
one recorded return. Halley's COM
ct, with a period of about IS years,
stands first OH the list. 1t has been
traced back to the year 1856, and
since that time has made recorded
returns, the last being in 1885.
1t will be due in 1911. The comet
of 1912, or the Pors Brooks comet,
made it's first recorded return dur
ing the last year. If the comet OF
1915, or Oilers comet, visit us
during this year or the succeeding
one, the solar system can rejoice in
the possession Of three comets Of q
long period, as they are called, to
distinguish them from the larger
family of comets of a short period
Temples comet of 1867 was ex
pected to reach perihelion in April
1t has period of about 6 years
was first observed in 1867, wa:
seen again in 1873 and 1879, ant
, was due in April, but has not yef
made its appearance. On the 1871
Of March, DIR. Gautier, Of Geneva
discovered a suspicious celestial OBJ
ject, that was thought to be the ex
pected visitor. Diligent search wa
? made for it at the principal observ
atories, but without success, for th
object seen proved to be far ava,
nebula. Either some unforeseen
! calamity has delayed its advent, o
one of the giant planets has turne,
e it into new course by its resistles
power Of attraction.
Tempel also discovered a secon
y comet of short period in 1865
h 1t was rediscovered by Swift i
e 1880, when its periodicity was d,
t termined. tits consequently know
as Swift's comet, and has perio
of 5A years. 1t is expected to r
1t turn to periAelion at the end Of Il
year. But it is likely to pass U,

The Bourbons supported Cleve-
land because it was their only hope
of securing the spoils. They did
this in the face Of the fact that
Cleveland repeatedly assured them
that the Offices should not be pros
tituted to partisan purposes. But
he had scarcely been seated when
their demands for postcffices poured
in upon upon him fast and furious.
1t was only after repeated snubbing
that they began 10 realize that his
motto was to "Tell the truth" that
he meant what he said about civil
tervic. reform. Their rage and
threats are something refreshing
A little honesty and common sense
would however greatly improve
their criticisms. Cleveland was not
their choice and they supported
him reluctantly. He was elected
on the civil service reform issue
and by those who believe in its
principles. Even from partisan
view Cleveland owes not 50 mucl
to the Bourbons of the West as b,
does to the Mugwumps of the East
His election was not great Demo
cratic victory. 1t simply mean
the defeat Of the spells system.

The workmen of Cook & Co., of
Sheffield, England, town in which
human life is worked out at great
er speed among the manufacturing
laborers, statistics, than anywhere
else in the kingdom, recently went
to their employers, who were labor
ing under difficulties, and stated that
sin consequence of the stagnation
in the iron trade, and as their wages
could not be reduced, owing to their
being governed by the South Stat
fordshire Board of Conicliation, they
had decided at meeting that it was
their duty to help their employers
to tide over the period of adversely.
They had therefore agreed to work
week for nothing" which they
cheerfully did.

1t seems certain that Cleveland
is seriously offending the Bourbon
element of his party by his coel
treatment of their demands for
spoils, The Blaine organs admit
this and see with delight that the
Democratic party is being greatly
weakened thereby, but there is not
one of them that has the manly hon
esty to acknowledge that Cleveland
is doing mis- duty. They are sim-
ply partisans and nothing more.
They are the equals of the Beurbons
and place party and spoils before
everything else. All good citizens
are willing, nay are pleased to have
the President offend both Bourbons
and Blainites.

Gladstone will now probably re-
tire from politics. The grand old
man carries with him the highest
honor. His career has been long
and brilliant, marked by unwaver-
ing honesty Of purpose and the
highest order of craftsmanship.
Often he was not popular, simply
because he adhered to that which
was honest and true in spite of
popular clamor. He vas man of
honest convictions that dared to do
right, because it was right. He
was and is the first statesman OF
the age.
