AEMLOCK MOLES.

Epicurcan MeId-Turners.
A conscientious French gardener sus-
pended his chronic war upon the mole
for one entire season. to give that much
detested animal fair chance at the
white grubs. ScieAce had asserted that
the mole was an epicure in grubs, and
our gardener had faith in science. His
garden was infested with grubs, and
here was his opportunity. At the end
of the season he recorded the fact, with
sad solemnity, that the mole lived on
such good terms with the grubS that he
had two enemies in place of one. Not
that the mole is not fond of grubs; but
give him free range of the salad and
berry beds and he acquires more refined
tastes. Unluckily the mole seems to
have no enemy, to speak of, except
man, and man often makes a pitiful
show against him with his poisons and
his traps. The French gardener referred
to is eager for information on the mole
question. But while waiting for points
from other victims, he offers the follow

walnuts as there are mole holes, add a
handful of hemlock leaves (COntun

all the time. Yesterday Mullarkey did
not appear, and the door of his room was
forced. The occupant was found lying
on the bed with his clothes on, dead. A

The Town Coos Dry Amid the Yells and
Shouts Of Drunken Crowds.


ATLANTA, July 1.--Atlanta has gone
dry. At / this morning the town is hav.
ing q midsummer Christmas. The streets
are full of yelling boys, and men who
have been in at the death and will wake
up this afternoon with parched throats
and swelled heads. at - o'clock the
doors were closed in all the bar rooms of
the city, and most of them we're crowded
with drinking and drunken mob At
one popular saloon for two hours before
closing. the bar was crowded by men
yelling, singing, shaking hands generally
in good humor, but occasionally joining
in rough and tumble scrimmage in
which curses and blows, were thick and
stalwart. Four policemen, with drawn
clubs, were mingled in the crowd to keep
comparative order aud prevent serious
harm. The crowd have turned it into a
sort of iollification night, and the police
are allowing them as much latitude as
possible. Only four cases have been so
obstroperous as to cause arrest. There
have been no shooting or serious Difficult.
ties of any sort, and Atlanta has entered
upon her great experiment with much
noise, but no bloodshed. It is safe to say
there are more drunken men in Atlanta
tonight than any night in year past.
Despite the rain, they are marching
around the Kimball House and through
the streets in merry, noisy parties, sing.
ing drinking songs aud yelling at the
tops of their voices. One of the most
interesting features of the day was the
great number of jugs, bottles and demi-
Johns seen on the streets. To tho observ.
er who occupied position near the cor
ner of Peachtree and Marietta streets
jugs were always in sight Old men,
young men, negro men, negro women,
poor men and well-to do men could be
seen moving in almost any direction with
a bottle, jug or demijohn in hand. Some
carried them openly and independently,
while others had them securely wrapped
in paper and carefully slowed away under
one arm, so as to attract as little attention
as possible. Jugs we're swung about with
an air and freedom never before seen in
Atlanta. If man had owned 5000 jugs
yesterday morning in Atlanta, and the
Jugs had been his, be could have gone to

GALVESTON, Tex, August 21.-The sciioo-
ner Livonia Perkins, forty tons burden,
engaged in the lumber trade, was capsized
by the force OF q gale ON Thursday night of
the bar, in sixteen fathoms OF water. There
were four psrsene on board, the captain,
John Mitchell, Aarino M.,rasos, seaman,
and Frtchard, the cook. when the vessel
went over. Pritchard seized small barrel,
but was forced by the action of the waves
to let it 60. Swimming with the tide he
crossed the east end Of the island throueh
what is known as Hospital channel. When
ne reached a point abreast OF the new
wharf he hailed the steamer Maddox and
succeeded in making his way to the wharf,
where he was helped ashore. The distance
swan by Pritchard from the place where
the schooner was upset to the point of his
rescue is nearly ten miles. All the others
OF the crew pt rished. This and the drown
ing OF negro boy Thursday are the only
instances Of the loss OF life SO reported,
All the street railways are badly dam
aged, and that portion along the line OF
the beach is completely destroyed. The
street pavement is washed away, bridges
and culverts are gone, and the damage
done in this section is heavy. A just esti-
mate OF the damage done cannot be made
until the storm shall have abated. Many
families have lost their all and are desti-
tute; while others have lost but a portion.
1t is thought by conservative men that the
loss will reach fully 100000 and per-
haps more. Railroad communication was
broken at midnight, Thursday, night and
has not been restored, in consequenc, ;of
the condition Of bridges across West End
bay. While the storm does not comp3re
with the great storm OF 1876 in violence
and destructivenees, the water is much
higher and covers a great portion Of the
city. News from Cuero say the storm WIS
very destructive to property there an b.

was very violent, destroying crops and

THE CUTTING CASE,
Tho Question of Indemnity Very Like
to Come Up.

The Question of Indemnity Very Likely
to Come Up.
DENVER, Colo, August 21.-By special
dispatch to the Ell Paso Times it is just
learned that yesterday the second chamber
of the Supreme Tribunal OF this State took
up the case OF A. L. Cutting and fully re-
viewed the evidence and argument. This
did not take long. The attorneys pro and
con had previously come to an agreement
that the two months imprisonment
already suffered by Cutting be considered a
complete purgation of his crime. This
makes it certain beyond doubt that the
sentence which follows shortly will conform
to this agreement among the attorneys.
The case was heard in closed doors. The
Court holds that Judge Scuba did exactly
right in trying and sentencing Cutting, but,
under the circumstances, the Court
thinks that he has now, by two
months imprisonment, suffered enough.
and will order his release, to take
effect probably by Tuesday or Wednesday
next. The 5000 fine is to be refunded.
The court expressly rea!firms all that has
been said in favor of the right OF Mexico to
try the offenses committed in the United
States. Therefore the status Of the case
OF Cue lhCern0tIOnaI question IL HOC anu
will not be in the least altered by the re-
lease OF Cutting. It will come up again d.
rectly ON the question OF indemnity. Brig
ham says he did not see how the release OF
Cutting at this stage would change anything
but the personal comfort of Cutting.
It was not so much the question OF the
personal liberty of Cutting as the broad
principle at stake between the two govern.
,ments, and. as they understood, the court
has expressly affirmed the validity OF the
law which Secretary Bayard had rightly
said that the United States could never
permit to be enforced. 1t was likely the
peint would come up again on the ques-
ton OF indemnity.
