general law was passed providing for
uniform rate of taxation upon such COM
panles. 1t was contended by some that
the last law repealed the provision OF the
charter giving a special and different rate
of taxes to this company. 1t was insist
ed by the attorney of the company, Hon.
John $. Davidson, that the company, hav-
ing organized under the charter, before
passage of the general act, had vested
rights that could not be taken away from
them. Attorney General Anderson sus-
tanned the company, and they will pay
different rate from the other companies.
About month ago q negro man named
George Daniel, accompanied by woman,
who he said was mis- wife, went to MIR. Bob
Freeman's, miles above Griffin, and
rented house. The woman worked at
Mr.. Freeman's house, and George did jobs
around as he could get them. Nothing
occurred to ripple the even tenor OF their
ways until Saturday, when another wo-
man appeared at Mr.. Freeman's, and ask
ed if George Daniel lived ABOUT there.
She was told he did, and was directed to
his house. Sunday morning the ne
gro woman who came with George
and who worked at the house,
failed to put in an appearance. finally Mr..
Freeman went down to where the woman
lived and found the door locked, the cur
tains down and no signs of life. He broke
open the door and a CHASTITY sight met his
gaze, the deserted wife, lying a corpse on
the floor, and in her thigh her death
wound from gun, was gasping, and the
gun lay broken and shattered ON the
floor. George Daniel and his paramount
We're gone. Late in the day George
Daniel and some relatives of the dead

woman was his wife, and came to his
house Saturday afternoon and began
abusing him for deserving her. They had

finally she took the gun and threat
ened to shoot herself. He caught hold
Of the gun to try to prevent her from
executing her threat. when the gun fell

shooting the woman IN the thigh. The

WAS HE DROMNEn2
Different Theories About Gordon, the
Missing Augusta Painter.

From the UgRStd Ca Chronicle.
Monday morning as a Chronicle re-
porter was making his rounds William
Barrow called him into his place of bust
ness and told him that Mrs. Gordon had
called upon HIM, requesting him to use
his influence in helping her to find her
husbands body, if he be really drowned.
Mr.. Barrow, as do number of other
friends, thinks that he fell into the canal
and was drowned. He has been missing
since Friday, Jan. !, and was last seen
about S O'Clock that evening near the
street car stables in company with two
men.
Frank Gordon was a man Of medium
stature, about five feet six inches in
height, weighing from l25 TO 1870 pounds.
He had very dark hair, a heavy NOUS
tache and closely trimmed whiskers.
When last seen he was dressedjn dark
suit of clothes, and wore dark cOlored
lawn tennis shirt.
The theory of a number of his friends is
that ne was fOUlly dealt with, while some
think that he fell into the canal while UNI
der the influence of liquor and was
drowned, and others still that his hat, the
finding OF which was mentioned in the
Chronicle some weeks ago, was left only
as ruse and that he is now in or near
the city. A number of other theories are
going the rounds, but it seems impossible
to verify any of them. His wife thinks he
was drowned and wishes a lookout kept
upon the river between here and SaVan-
nah for his body, which she thinks the
high water in the river has washed down
and will leave ashore. Paul Brown, her
brother, has diligently searched for his
body in both the canal and river, but no
trace pVpnOt his hat haa bpnU fOund The
canal has been tweed dragged and the
water shut off from it once, but all to no
purpose. The strange part of the affair is
that his hat was not found until the fol-
lowing Tuesday, four days after he was
supposed to have been drowned.
Mrs. Gordon certainly deserves assist
ance. She has been left with three small
children to support. Though believing
her husband dead, she OF course clings
with hope to the possibility that he may
vet be alive and requests that she or Mr..
William Barrow be notified at once if any
information should be obtained concern
ing his whereabouts.

FLORIDA CONFERENCE.
The White and COlOred Members Sepa

IhLSu Anbo VIZ OEH N@bAohS"
From the JdcLsoR5iEle (FId.) Herald, S6th.
After repeated efforts the annual Con-
ference Of the NJ. z. Church, North, in
session in this city since Thursday. sue
ceeded, Just before final adjournment last
evening, in a division, and now instead
OF one there are two conferences of the
same church-one white and one colored
and both occupying the same territory.
The first vote Saturday resulted in Oppo-
sition to the measure, but the second one
was successful. Some of the cOlored min
listers, who had at all previous conference
sessions voted nay changed to aye, giving
as an explanation of their change OF vote
that the question mad so long been agi-
tated that they had tired of 1t, and were
willing, for sake of settling it, to let the
white ministers withdraw. This churc b
has only been in existence in the South
since the war, and in nearly every State
was started with a mixed membership of
white and cOlored people.
Some of the cOlOred ministers seem TO
think now that the future of their church
is not at all bright, and that this separa-
ton is the beginning of the end of their
society. They nave grave doubts as to
their ability to maintain separate
church organization in the State. The
opinion expressed by some is to the effect
Ihat the colored Methodists will ultimate
~ be scattered. aud finally gathered into
the folds OF other religious denominations.
A few of the colored ministers feel as If
they had been badly treated in the with
drawal of all their white brethren. The
white ministers and members, on the
other hand. claim that their cause
was weakened by mixed ministry and
membership, and that it was apparent to
all that there must be a separation OF the
two races or continued binderance to
the progress and advancement of their
church in the South, and That division
had become a real necessity. There was
no intention OF drawing the color-liBe, as
some have charged, but a desire to raise
the standard and allow each separate
conference unrestrained latitude to labor
in their respective spheres. TIE future
will develop the wisdom OF the move, and
prove whether it has strengthened or
weakened this branch Of MethOdism in

Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley, in a letter to the
London Times in reference 10 the plans
and expectations of the syndicate which
has undertaken the construction of rail-
way around the falls that obstruct the
navigation OF the Lower Congo, I'M
dertakes TO show that the new enterprise,
contrary to the general anticipation, will
be profitable from the start. The total of
stock authorized by the charter of the
Congo Railway il $l0,0CO,000, but only

the next twenty years. and, ''f prudence

How Nebraska Young Man Gets Along
with Very Little Sleep.
Henry johnson, says the OroYiIle Neb. }
Register, is a stout, robust young fellow Of
20 or u, and, except being of a restless or
nervous disposition, there is nothing I'M
usual about him. Some four years ago
the young man found that he was able TO
do with much less sleep than other young
men Of his acquaintance. He could stay
up all night at a dance and not feel the
loss OF sleep the next day, or be could read
till late hour and not feel sleepy the next
morning. His need for sleep decreased 90
much that he began tO number bis hours
Of actual wakefuiness during each week.
For the last three months Of 1893 he was
awake nineteen hours a day, while by
April, 1884, he was sleeping less than four
hours each niRnt. His health was good,
and so he thought little about not sleeping
as much as formerly. During the sum
mer and tall OF that year ne slept less
than three hours each night, but one day
his attention was caught by an article In
the Sacramento BEE, Wnere IL stated that
loss OF sleep would cause insanity. He
then began 10 eat heartily and would drink
half glass Of porter before going 10 bed.
