The 100 Lawyers who are attending the
State Bar Association represent the legal
talent in almost every considerable com
munity in Georgia. They are prosper
Gus looking body of men, and many of
them reap handsome incomes from their
practice. Savannah pays lawyers better
than any city in the State. The CONNER
cial and corporation practice there is
heavy, and the lawyers at the Savannah
bar have always maintained high stand
ard of professional conduct. Atlanta
has more lawyers than any city in the
State, and pays them less. Still there is
a snug group of lawyers in Atlanta whose
income from their practice is $4,000 or
more. The largest fee ever earned by n
Georgia lawyer was that of Senator Hill
in the great Metcalf cotton case. 1t was
100000, and $4,000 was collected. Judge
Chisholm, of Savannah, was paid 500, 000at
one time for services to the Atlantic and
Gulf railroad, and Gen. Henry Il. Jack
son received an equal sum.
Since he left the Senate Roscoe Conk-
ling has made two $4,000 fees. One was

other in the Bell-Drawbaugh telephone

young man who came from Admission
the same day of the week on the Georgia

Veritable scufie was going on in the
room, and As quickly as possible the door
was opened and several rushed in. There
was no light, but loud and painful grOans,
as OF some one suffering, were heard. AS
quickly as possible light was brought in

lying with his head on the floor and his
leet upon the bed, while great streams of
blood could be seen on the pillows and

speak. His face was beat almost
to a jelly, and his body was badly bruised.
He did not utter a word till late Saturday
evening, and then was unable to tell
whether any one had assaulted him or
who it was. He remained at his aunt's
until day before yesterday, when he left
from some cause. John Collins carried
him to his home and kept him till yester-
day morning. Hirst tGen tell into the
hands of i. W. Osborn and William Bur-
nett, who carried him back to his aunt's,
but she refused to let him stay, and the
gentlemen say she talked very strange
about young HIrst. The men carried him
to police headquarters this morning. and
told the whole story to acting-Chief Grim,
who expressed the belief that there had
been foul play. Hirst does not look like
very intelligent man, but those who
know him say he is all right. He says
that some one stole about $50 from him
the night he was hurt. Hirst was sent to
the Benevolent Home to remain until his
mind clears up.

EARLY COUNTY SENSATIONS.
Love Ends in Suicide In n Store Murder
Among Negroes

BLAKELY, GA, Aug. 5.--Damascus was
the scene of an exciting event last Mon
day, the suicide of John McCIain, brother
of DR.. W. r.. McClain of that place. With
out warning to any one he walked into
the store of Messrs. Webb II Hightower,
drew pistol and began firing into his
abdomen. He fired four shots, three en-
tering his abdomen and one ranging near
his heart. 1t is supposed that he killed
himself on account OF disappointment
in love. He bad paid his addresses to a
young lady who repeatedly rejected him,
until he became angry and circulated dis
paraging stories about her. Her brothers
revenged her by means of law
suit, which weighed so heavily upon his
mind that he took his own life. An in
formant of the NEWS correspondent says
he had seemed so 4.ewhat out of his mind
tor some time previous to his suicide
The deceased lived In Miller county, and
was at times addicted TO the use OF
whisky.
An ARRAY occurred about nine miles
west OF town, Sunday night, in which a
negro, by the name of Albert Smith, was
shot by one of two brothers Richard and
Jake Grier. Some of the witnesses say
that Jake did the shooting, but when AL
bert died Monday evening he made a
statement, just before expiring, charging
Richard with the shooting. Richard Grier
and another negro, who undoubtedly fur
nished the pistol with which the shooting
was done, have been lodged in Jail at
Blakely. Jake GrIer escaped.

1t will be remembered that week or
ten days ago an elephant named Albert
developed an ugly aud pugnacious dispo-
sitiOn at Keene, n. H., where the MENACE
RE with which be was travelling was To-
Gated, and killed his keeper. He had been
ugly and treacherous on previous Occa-
siOns, and II was not considered safe To
permit shim 20 live longer. BY order Of
Mr.. Barnum the authorities OF the Smith
sOnian lnstitute were notified that the eX-
ecutlOn was TO take place, and that they
could haYe the carcass If they desired il.
Accordingly, Messrs. H0uidan and Lucas,
Of the National Museum, we're despatched
to keene, where they arrived last
Tuesday afternoon. Through the aid
Of City Marshal +. r. Locke and
Engineer George Wheelock they Sc
cured the services Of Mr.. }. y. Kerwin, a
Hell-knOwn local knight OF the butcher
knife and cleayer, and two other experts,
and on Wednesday morning began the
work Of dissecting the enormous pachy-
derm. The head and trunk were first re-
moved, and then the hide was taken OF
In two pieces, being split on the back and
belly. The hide was In many places ~
inches thick, aud the work required nearly
three hours. Ia the afternoon the skele-
ton was dissected, aud every bone was
saved intact. The firing party consisted
OF ~ men. ~ OF whom fired at the heart
and II Nc the head. During the autopsy,
so 10 speak. six bullets were found In the
heart, and they had all been fiattened.
In the evening those Of epicurean tastes
dined on elephant steak at the Cheshire
house, and 10 is reported that many who
did not know what they were eating pro-
nOunced the steak unusually iiDeln flavor,
but n bit tough. The hide weighed i.Of3
pounds. and the skeleton l,3h5 pounds.
The baaaf nlfeo weighed about 1000 uuunda
was supposed to be 30 years old, and was
valued ~ $4,000. The preserved portion
was safely shipped 20 Washington on
Thursday, aud Messrs. H0uidan and Luz
cns consider that they have secured an
unusually perfect specimen for the ma
tional museum. About 900 kocultea wifi
neased the dissection With great interest.

A Terrible Accident on the Alps.
From The London StaNddrd.

From tho London Standard.
A cure from Lyons was recently spend
ing his holidays among the Swiss noun
tains, and beingambitiOus of crossing the
rocky chain which separates the Glacier
d. Argentiere from the Mer de Gace, he
engaged the services of a father and son,
named DeVonassOux, TO act as guide and
porter. They selected one of the most
formidable and dangerous coils in the
whole range, and which, on account of lis
being virgin, tempted them, no doubt, 10
try ana conquer it. 1t is known as the
Four des COurtes, and is simply Tiven
Ice slope, interrupted here and there by
masses of Jagged rocks, and constantly
swept by ice ayalanches. In fact, it
would be difficult to select in the whole
of the Alps a more perilOus slope Tor men
TO risk their lives on. But TO add TO the
peril, the weather was wretchedly bad
and the mountains were shrouded in mist
and snow. Nevertheless, the adventurous
cure and his guides set of from the viii
lage of Argentiere, few miles from Cha
mOuniX, intending to try and reach
MOntauvert, pass the night there, and
20 on TO ChamOunix the next day.
When three days had passed and they
had not arrived the worst was feared. and
party Of guides who went out in search
OF them found their bodies frightfully mu-
tilated at the very foot of the col OF the
Four des COurtes. Ii was evident that
they had succeeded in attaining a
considerable height, when, poFbaoly mis-
sing their way in the miets which enVel-
oped them, or swept out of their steps by
the falling ice, they fell several thousand
feet on to the glacier below, where they
were found almost shattered TO pieces.
The bodies Of the guide and his son
were Inferred on Friday Ia the church,
yard Of the village of Argeniere, while
the remains Of the cure were conveyed to
Lyons,h bis native place. The guide who has
thus paid for his daring with his life bore
very high reputation; but nevertheless
considerable Indignation Is felt In Cha
mounix that he should have been tempted
for the sake Of fee, 10 have undertaken
so hazardous "A journey in such bad wea-
Their. Even il the weather had been good
it is extremely doubtful II the passage
could have been accomplished, but in
binding snow storm it was suicidal to at
tempt il.

The Circus.

The first performance by Woodyear's
Electric Circus was given last evening
before an audience which crowded the
large tent in every part, and the per-
Torrance well deserved such an audi
ence, for it is many years since com
pany of such talented and varied artists
visited these shores. There was not a
single dissatisfied. person inside of the
tent. 1t would take up too much space
to enumerate the different acts, but that
OF pedal balancing by the Japanese Bun
garro and his son Itchi was simply Won
derful, and drew forth uproarious APP
plause. The pad and horseback riding
was exceedingly good, also the two and
five horse acts. Miss Scarsdale on the
trapeze performed some daring feats in
mid air, and the juggling on the running
globe by Mr. r. Taylor was very clever.
The arrangements were everything that
could be desired, and the interior of the
tent was lastly decorated with flags and
streamers. The performance concluded
with a comic scene, Sir William Buttons
ride to Bradford, which sent the audience
home in good humor The music by the
band was appropriate and highly salts
factory, The second performance will be
given this evening at s O'Clock.

We owe an apology to our readers for
the length of the article in question,

the precise language of the report to
demonstrate ID that its allegations
are untrue ~ that Mr.. T. H.
Davies denial that these untruthful
allegations are in the report is OPP

done so, and made both positions
clear to any ordinary comprehension.
It is now in order for Mr.. Davies to

Thomas Square.

ED. L. G. ADvERTISER-Sir The COM
munication of "Citizen" in Yesterdays
issue of your paper revives in the mind
of the writer the suggestion made several
years ago in regard to Thomas Square,
and which, if carried out, as it could
easily have been done at that time,
would have increased the utility of the
square a hundredfold. The suggestion
was as follows: To leave a space around
the outer sides of the square of about 100
or 125 feet in width. Through the middle
of this, entirely around the square, would
run roadway of 40 or 80 feet in width,
which would leave ample space on either
side for the planting and growth OF shade
trees, etc, and for the disposition OF
seats and benches for spectators. Gates
at each corner of the square would afford
ready means of ingress or egress.
The entire inner field was to be
cleared and made into a clean, smooth
lawn, suitable for drills, games, fairs or
any other similar purpose, while a suita-
BILE site for a band stand would be
selected on the mauka side, probably
near to one corner of the grounds. The
writer would deprecate, however, the
erection of any permanent buildings,
such rs stalls, pens or any buildings that
would mar the beauty of the spot or
break up the clear space needed for other
purposes.
In place of the condition as outlined
above, we have, at considerable expense,
a tolerably pretty little park, with con-

CAPEREAUM.

A recent traveller writes to the New York
Sun: perhaps the most interesting spot in
the world to those deeply under the infu-
ence of that charm which association lends
to places hallowed by the ministrations of
the founder of Christianity, is to be found
in desert, rock strewn promontory on the
northwest shore of the lake Of Tiberias; for
among these piles of hewn blocks of black
basalt still remain the ruins Of great syna-
gogue, within whose walls, the foundation
of which may still be distinctly traced, were
collected the multitudes who 1ocked to
hear the teaching of Christ. While modern
tourists resort in crowds to Jerusalem to
visit the mythical sites which are supposed,
upon the vague basis of ecclesiastical tradi-
ton, to be identified with episodes in the
life of the great teacher, scarcely one ever
finds his way to this remote locality lying
lust out of the beaten track along which
Cook leads his herds of sightseers; and yet it
is probable that the greater part OF that
period in the life of Christ, the record of
which is contained in the four gospels, was
spent at Capernaum, which the most careful
investigation, by the highest authorl-
ties in such matters, has identified with
these ruins of Tell Hum. Here it was that
Christ cured Peters mother in-law, restored
the paralytic called Matthew, cured the
centurion's servant, raised Jairuss daugh-
ter from the dead, and obtained the tribute
of money from the mouth of fish. 1t was
here that he spoke the parallels of the SOW
er, the tares, the treasure hid in the field,
the merchant seeking goodly pearls, and the
net cast into the sea. Sir Charles Wilson,
whose researches on this spot led him TO
identify it as being the site of the city of Ca
pernaum, believes this synagogue was, with
out doubt, the one built by the Roman cen.
turion (Luke vii, s., and, therefore, one of
the most sacred spots on the earth. 1t was
in this building, if that he the case, that the
we'll known discourse contained in the sixth
chapter of John was delivered; and it was
not without strange feeling, says this
same explorer, that on turning over large
block we found the pot of mamma engraved
on its face, and remembered the words: II
am that bread of life. Your fathers did
eat mama in the wilderness, and are
dead" :"
