Upper Alton, H., to which place he was
DESTROYS of returning. AS he had neither
money nor friends, and was in poor

his parents, who are between 20 and 50
years of age. His expressed intention
was to go 10 see them so soOn as he got
the money due MIN in the winding up OF
the affairs of Jake Israel, his late en-
plOyer.
Houston Superior Court adjourned at
noon last Friday to the first Monday in
April next. The court was occupied
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday in
the trial of criminal cases. just before
adjournment an order was issued dlscon-
tinuing the custom of setting civil cases
for trial on certain days of the session OF
the court. During the session OF court, ocs
cupying exactly nine days, eighteen civil
cases were tried, and sixteen disposed
OF otherwise; eight criminal cases tried
and five disposed of otherwise. or the
eight criminals tried four were acquitted.
The four criminals convicted were ne
grOes. The grand jury was in session
exactly five days. Jwenty-siX lndiot-
ments were considered, sixteen true bills
and ten no bills were returned to the
court. The cost to the county Of the en-
tire session of the court amounted to 81
5S7 %. OF this 81, 24S 9Shas been paid by
the treasurer and bills to the amount OF
1888 % remain to be audited by the
County Commissioners. Thus 1t will be
seen that the consideration OF torty-seyen
cases cost the county an average of $35 SO
each, the examination OF county affairs
by the grand jury being thrown in for
good measure. 1t is also an average cost
Of SIG SO for each day that court was
actually in session.
The New EbeneZer Association met on
saturday last with the Baptist church at
Eastman. There were fOrty-fOur churches
represented by delegates and one by let
ter. making total Of forty-five churches.
TUere were something over 100 delegates
present. The reports from the churches
were generally favorable, the most of
tuem having received outpOurings of the
Holy Spirit and many additions to their
numbers. An important Sunday school
organization was effected, TO be called the
New Ebenezer Sunday School Con-
vention, and DR.. K. II. Bacon was elected
President, and four Vice Presidents. The
reports of the various committees were
fully up to the usual standing. and, alto
gether, the meeting was good one. The
contributions sent up were the largest,
perhaps. in the history of the association
for all purposes, and on Monday cOilec.
tiOn IN cash and subscription was taken
up for the New Ebenezer College.
amounting to about $1,000. There was
also a similar collection taken up
by DR.. Mccall for Mercer University.
amounting TO nearly 500. The next ses-
sion of the body Will be held with the
First Baptist church at Cochran, com
lnenclng on Thursday before the third
Sabbath in October, 1887, at which time
and place will also be held the Sunday
School Convention-Or, rather, the con-
vention will probably be held on Satur-
day after the business of the association
shall have been disposed of.

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
a Tenement House Fire in Chicago.
An Incendiary's Work.

a Tenement House Fire in Chicago.
An Incendiary's Work.
Seven perzons lost their lives in an incen-
diary fire the other morning in the wooden
dwellings at 7s1 and 7ss South Canal street,
Chicago They were Michael Murphy, aged
40 years; Mrs. Michael Murphy, aged about
S5; Annie Murphy, 3 years old; Nellie Mur-
ply, II years old; Mrs. Mary Durkin, aged
30 years; Patsey LAWN, aged 4, a son Of Mrs.
Mary Durkin by a former marriage; and
William Hand, aged IS.
The fire broke out in the cellar of 73S, and
spread through the wooden walls of the base
ment to 73l. Both houses were filed with
smoke before any of the occupants were
aroused. Some Of the sleepers were doubtless
smothered in their beds. The fire, following
rapidly after the smoke, burned the bodies
until they were unrecognizable.
The second floor of 133 was occupied by
the Durkin aud Murphy families. The fire
mea in searching the ruins Of the houses
found some Of the victims lying n their half
burned beds, and others, who We're
awakened besors death came upon
them, were clutching each other in
groups on the floor. The upper floor
was occupied by VIM. Hand His father
lived with him They were aroused by
the smell of smoke, and the young man
caught up the children and jumped from
the second story window with them, after
assisting his wife to the street. He wanted
to help his father down, but the old
man insisted on his jumping with the chill
dren. The aged and decrepit form OF the old
man was seen at the window a moment, and
then disappeared as he was about to leap.
The raging fire prevented the making Of an
effort for his rescue.

Removal Of Warts.

A correspondent Of the Therapeutic
Gazette announces through its columns
the virtues Of castor oil in the removal
Of warts. Constantly applied for from
two to four Or six weeks each day-that
is, once day-it has not failed in my
hands, says the writer, in any case D
any size or long standing. The time
takes may try the patience Of the user,
but if faithfully used they will get their
reward in the removal Of the wart with.
out leaving any scar. I have used il
with some success in other growths, and
had benefit enough TO merit further
trial. It might, he adds, Be : success ID
the removal OF certain kinds Of cancer.
especially scirrhus forms

Gladstone Preparing His Speeches.

We are told, on good authority, this is
Mr.. Gladstone's method of preparing his
speeches: He keeps box into which he
is in the habit Of throwing cuttings from
newspapers and other memoranda Of facts
bearing upon the subject in hand On
the morning Of the day preceding any
great Grafton he goes through his box
and picks out his notes Of the particular
facts which he wishes to use. These he
gums in their proper order upon lar ge
sheet of paper and uses them as the posts
upon which the speech itself is to be
hung. Then he imagines himself actually
speaking composes his oration, in fact,
in his head. After he is satisfied with it,
he dismisses the subject from his mind,
and occupies himself until the hour for
speaking comes in--reading novel.
His memory is SO great that his pre-
viously composed sentences come back to
