sHINNICK's WHEREABOUTS.
CHASTITY OF THE CAMPBELLs.
The Jury Declares Both Lord and
Lady lnnOcent of Adultery.

1iiuJ sihOCCbt VI
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The argument on
both sides of the Campbell divorce case
was concluded to-day, and the Judge pro-
ceeded a once to sum up the case for the
Jury. His charge leaned strongly in favor
of Lady Campbell. He said the evidence
of the doctors that Mary Watson, with
whom Lord Colin was charged with adul-
terry, was intact, did not negative the tes-
Uimony Of Lady Miles that she had
seen the pair in compromising
position. Lord Campbell, however, was
entitled to the benefit of the doubt, if any
existed in the minds of the jury. At the
last trial, in which Lady Colin secured a
decree of separation, it was shown that
Lord Colin had gwen the plaintiff dis ase
in such a manner o. to amount to cruelty,
which she alleged as the base of her plea
for separation.
LORD CAMPBELL'S WITNESSES.
The evidence against Lady Campbell
the Judge said, was wholly that of SER
wants of the defendant, and should be
! regarded with suspicion. He pointed out
Inconsistencies and contradictions in this
evidence. and declared his belief that
portions of it were pure inventions, and
ne discredited the story OF the keyhOle
pepper, O'Neill. Lord Collins conduct
toward his wife while she was in Paris on
the occasion when he telegraphed the
Paris police to arrest her and lodge her in
the PROSTITUTES prison, Justice Butt
characterized as outrageous, remarking
that be never had known of anything more
dishonest than Lord Collins allegation TO
ihe Paris officials that his wife was living
open adultery with one of the CO.
respondents, and should be arrested and
treated as common prostitute.
GEN. BULLER TAKEN TO TASK.
Gen. Buffers failure to appear on the
stand the Judge characterized as mex.
pressibly mean and a desertion of Lady
Compbell, but he cautioned the jury
against constituting this absence as evil
dence Of guilt on the part OF either him
self or Lady Campbell.
The case was then given to the Jury.
who soon reported a disagreement. They
were sent back and returned at 10 o'ciock
and reported that they found that Lord
Colin Campbell bad net committed adui.
terry and that Lady Colin had not com.
mItted adultery with any of the CO.
respondents. The jury added that the
conduct OF Gen. Butler was unworthy OF
a gentleman and an officer and caused
the only difficulty which the jury expert
enced IN reaching a decision. The an
nOuDcement of the verdict was received
with applause.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 2O.-At Payton. on
the Georgia Pacific railroad about five

shaking up. No bones were
broken and nobody was killed.
but oil were terribly scared
and more or less bruised. A Mrs. Kelly
and her two children sustained painful
cuts, and Mrs. Mary Bradfeld was badly
bruised in the lace, and her son, d. n.
BrSd6eld, was so badly frightened that he
could not tell where thew were from when
ne reached the city. But for the fact thai
that the train was running slowly over
tue switch terrible accident might have
occurred.
WAR ON THE WINE ROOMS.
The City Council this afternoon adopted
wine room ordinance, which prohibits
the drinking of wine on the premises ex-
cept at hotels or res aurants. 1t requires
all wines for sale to be kept on the ground
floor, out of cellars and off the second
floor. 1t forbids the use of painted
or frosted windows or screens
IN wine rooms. 1t says the wines
to be sold must be in full view of the
public, and empowers the police to enter
wine rooms for the purpose of inspection
at any time.
BRICK MASONS STRIKT.
The brick masons working on the
United States barracks struck to-day for
SO for ten hours WORK, a raise of SOC.
The increase was granted. when the
strikers, about fifteen in number, de-
maDded the discharge of two wOrkmen
who refused to strike. This demand was
not accedod to. and the men struck
again, whereunon the contractor let them
go, and coming to Atlanta hired other
help.
Elvira Lewis stabbed John HightOwer
IN six places tonight at the corner OF
Br0thertOn and Forsyth streets, four
times in the head, once in the left arm
and once in the abdomen. The wounds
are painful and the last may prove dan
gerous. The trouble sprang from his re-
fusal to let her attend a supper. Both
negroes were locked up.
Hart WylIIe, a prominent Broad street
merchant, had violent epileptic tit in
the Kimball House lobby this afternoon,
which created a sensation. The presence
of physician and the aid OF bystanders
brought him out of it in a few minutes.

FUNERAL EXPENSES.
A Clergyman's Sensible Advice to Fami-
lies Visited by Death.

A Clergyman's Sensible Advice to Fami-
" lies visited by Death.
In connection with the subject Of
funerals, l would like to make sug-
gestion to all who. through sad
necessity, may become interested. 1t
is the custom, of course, where death
occurs in family to send at once for
an undertaken. If there be no male
relative to make business of the
matter, the suggestions of the under
taker are listened to and assented to by
the widow and the orphan. The SUBJ
ject of the cost CRATES so harshly upon
the ear of the afflicted ones that cost
and prices are not much talked over,
but left to the judgment of the under
taker. The undertaken, however kind
and sympathetic, knows but little Of
the financial affairs of the family. and
his thoughts running naturally in the
business line of getting up Il nice
funeral, he selects and brings up a
rather expensive coffin or sarcophagus
probably one that costs sixty or
eighty dollars. Its price scares the
family, but it has been ''ordered," and
..is there, and can't be helped And
the straitened family finds that the pay
ment of it, together with all the other
expenses incident to sickness and death,
becomes as great a weight upon
their hearts as is the earth upon
the form of their dear one in his grave.
This is no fancy picture. But let it be
understood that there are in every
undertaking establishment in this city
not only those modern denominations
called .'caskets, made Of iron, or of
chemically-steeped boards to initiate
iron, but also rosewood" collins.
light in weight and very beautiful, for
prices from seventeen to thirty dollars.
My suggestion is, to all families, that,
when death enters among them, they
at any cost of feeling the ex,
penses of the burial personal and
business matter, and thus avoid sorrow
upon sorrow.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crdt,
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1886-07-24
Indian Sport In Nevada.

Duck lake, in Nevada, lies on the
north side of the Pyramid branch of
the Truckee river and west of the
upper portion of Pyramid lake, from
which it is only separated by low hill
or ridge of sand. 1t is circular in
form and has neither inlet nor outlet.
This small lake is great resort for
ducks, geese, swans and other water
fowl when there is a heavy wind and
Pyramid lake is made to boil like a
pot. They then flock to this less
boisrerous sheet of water by tens Of
thousands. On such occasions the
Indians prepare for grand duck
drive. All who have guns and many
who are armed only with bows and
arrows form in lihe on the crest of
the sand ridge between the two lakes.
A number Of Indians then man fleet
of RATS, and starting from the western
shore of the small lake drive the ducks
and other fowl from their resting place.
The birds start for Pyramid lake again,
and as they fly across the dividing
ridge the men and boys there lying in
wait bring down hundreds of them
with guns and other weapons. Even
small boys, lying on their backs with
their bows on their feet, pull their
arrows with both hands, sending the
missiles with great force and killing
birds in large numbers.-Chicago Ne,cs.
