DEATH OF A DRUMMER.
Leon Comfy Politics.

TALLAH AssEE, FLA. oct. 1.-THE ex-
citement which prevailed among the
Democrats previous TO and during the see-
sion of the recent county convention has
about subsided. The names Of two Demo-
Gratis have been proposed for tthe Assem-
blv. and they will probably make the can
yass under the direction Of the Executive
Committee.
Tbe "side show" arrangement for the
recommendation By ballot OF county off,
GERS TO he appointed by the Governor has
been left entirely with the candidates
themselves.
Never before has such state OF affairs
existed In this county. The differences
are brought about by the desire of por-
ton of the Democrats TO indorse an inde-
pendent candidate for the Senate.
The Democrats Of Wakulla county have
nominated MIR. IL. U. Crawford for the
Assembly.
The Democrats Of Gadsden will elect
their full ticket, and they are all first
class men.
The Supreme Court Of Florida is now In
session in this city.
The opposition to the adoption Of the
new constitution appears 10 grow steadI-
ly, and there may yet be danger Of its re-
faction.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-One hundred addi-

imprOvised barracks in the stock yards
this evening. The force now numbers 450.
The subject Of the strike came before the

laid aside without action.

by Mr.. Powderly to settle the difficulty

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 1T-When the re-
tail liquor business was closed out in
Atlanta under the prohibition law a num-
Der of dealers purchased, either wholly
or In part, certain unexpired wholesale
licenses, and began the sale of liquor and
beer by the quart, allowing 1t to be drank
on the premises. Cases were made against
all Of them, and Recorder Anderson i'm
posed the full fine of $500 in each case.
All the cases were carried to the Supreme
Court on wrlts of certiorau from the SUI
perior Court. The Bronx case came up
last week in the Supreme Court, and was
dismissed on account of technical defects.
several OF the cases similarly proposed
were Withdrawn for correction of these
defects.
PARTIALLY SHOWN.
In the meantime the City Council, be-
lleving the fines imposed by the Recorder
unnecessarily heavy, by resolution asked
Mayor Hillyer to reduce them. Last night
the Mayor, after considering the matter,
stated to the counsel for the defendants
that he had decided on tine following re-
ductions in the fines: James McMahOn
and Dave Hollis from $500 to $50 each; AL
Bronk's to 5000; Werner and Schueman's
TO $500 each, and in the cases of Q. Z.
Thorne, L. q. Mayson and j. NJ. Mabey no
reduction. The first two were prominent
prohibitionists during the prohibition
contest. Messrs. Mcmahon, Hollis and
Bronx will pay their tiues tomorrow, but
it is understood that Messrs. Werner ana
Schueman will leave their cases in the
Supreme Court.
WEARY OF ARMY LIFE.
During the summer several young men
Of Atlanta, thirsting for military lite, en-
listed for five years in the Second United
States Artillery company, which was in
camp near the city. Some of them have
since tired OF the service and its hard
ships, and have had friends working on
the War Department to secure their dis
charge. Papers containing the discharge
Of T.. NJ. HeitJ have arrived, and this
young man is happy. The next anxious
to get out is W. Z. Bankston, an ex-re-
porter on city paper. His friends are
making q strong effort in mis- behalf, and
will probably effect his release.
THE STERN PARENT.
Aromantic elopement came to an unro-
mantle end this afternoon by the inter-
ventiOn OF an angry father. Ben Barton,
the ardent young lover, drives a city
wagon. He was engaged to Miss Ida
Davis, II years old, who lives in the
western part OF the city. They feared
objection on the part Of the lady's parents
and arranged to get married this after
noon clandestinelv. Barton went in a
wagon to the Sunday school where the
young lady WAS. She joined him and
they made for the nearest Justice of the
Peace, but were overtHken by the girls
rather, who took charge of her and turn
ed the young man over to an officer and
had him locked up on a charge OF kid
mapping. Efforts are being made tonight
to TX up matters, but so far have proved
unsuccessful.

A LABOR ORGAN

tic constituency-for a while, at any rate.
But many Of the people are more inter-
ested in knowing when to expect the new
2c. afternoon journal, promised by way Of
Philadelphia, and to be known as the
Manh attain Gazette. Some of the Quaker
City gentlemen who were said TO be inter-
ested In the net enterprise were getting
estimates for the printing Of 10000 daily
copies some months ago, and the new or
gan was expectedtO open it's broadside In
September. 1t had an excellent mission
on its hands-the absolute exclusion of
the wicked side Of life, crime and sin, and
the publication OF only such news as is
fitted for consumption In the household.
The experiment was once before made by
a gentleman from Montreal, but his purse
was not long enough for the crusade.
After rather inglOrious career his DAILY
Witness went the way of all journalism

rich Philadelphia syndicate might do

The sons of great men, or even OF emf
nent men, are rarely inherltors of their
fathers gifts OF brain. One can meet the
sons OF three ex-Presidents on the street
almost any pleasant day, and it will not
take long to discover that they amount to
but little. The Grant boys-well, it is
sufficient to say that they have let news

body. The two sons of Garfield, now In

Failure TO Make Appropriations
Forces a Factory to Close.
Boston, Oct. 1.-THE South Boston
Iron Works, well known gun factory,
last night suspended operations on ac.
count OF inability to pay the workmen.
The shutdown may last two weeks or as
many months. Nearly $50 expert iron
workers are thrown out of employment.
For the past six weeks the men have re-
ceived no pay, and the suspension is ex-
planned by the fact that the government
owed the works $3.50, 900 for rifled cannon,
carriages and other work performed OF
late, and appropriations not being forth
coming the resources Of the company were
almost exhausted. Treasurer Hunt states
