The grand Jury of the Bib Cou nty
Court is investigating the Moore lynchiug
case, aud it is stated that 1t is probable
that there will be lively times in Macon
in few days. The people of the entire
State are interested in having the guilty
parties in this case brought TO justice.
The lyncblng of Moore was an outrage on
The law abiding people of Georgia, and
will ever be standing reflection upon
the people of Macon if those who were
active in violating the law are not prop
srly punished. Lynch law is contrary to
civilization, and ought TO be frowned
down in every community, particularly
where there is no trouble about enforcing
the law. Lynching should be stopped,
even If lynchers have TO be hung to &C
complish that object. No mans life is
safe, however innocent Of crime he may
be, iflynching is countenanced.

Under the head OF editorial correspond
ence, the Jacksonville News prints the
following:
eThe reported change in the control of
the Central railroad OF Georgia promises
to remove several OF Savannah's big
ST. amships. They will be taken, proba-
bly,, to Norfolk, and the opportunities, or
the possibilities, for direct Jacksonville
line will be very greatly improved"
The author OF the above, who probably Is
the editor OF the Jacksonville News, does
not appear to be sufficiently well informed
about matters in this locality to write
about them lntelllgently. There has been
no change in the control of the Central
railroad and cannot be until the election,
which does not occur until January.
Whoever set afloat the report, therefore,
that a change had occurred was wholly
unfamiliar with the CentraPs af-
fairs. There have been reports,
it is true, that at the January election an
effort Will be made to wrest the control
of the road from the present management,
but, as far as can be learned, no one has
yet been able TO trace these reports 20 an
authoritative source. The probab llities
that me control OF the road will remain
where it Is are much stronger than that
it will be changed.
But even should the control pass into
other hands there would arise no reason
for Withdrawing several of the steam
ships OF the Ocean Steamship line from
tais port. The steamships OF that line are
here to stay, and it is mucn more likely
that their ndmoer will be increased than
diminished.
Ofcourse, the Jacksonville editor would
IKE TO have several, or all, of them with
drawn, because tnen the proposed line of
steamers to Jacksonville would have some
chance of securing living business. but
he will find that he is not to be gratified
The Ocean Steamship line is prosperous
one, AMI whoever gets control OF the Gem
trail railroad will not commit the folly OF
wrecking it. If the Jacksonville line is
TO depend tor success upon the ruin of
the Ocean Steamship line its promoters
will save money by abandoning 1t at once.

UndisCiDIined knights,

Almost if not every great strike of the
Knights of Labor has been ordered by the
local assemblies without the sanction of
the executive heads OF the order. This
indicates that there is lack of discipline
and obedience in the order which may
eventually prove its ruin.
There can be no great strike without its
having some effect upon the interests of
workingmen in all parts of the country.
In some localities the effect may be so
slight as to be hardly noticeable, while in
others it may be very serious. The sue
cess Of the order requires that there shall
be harmony of sentiment with respect to
all important matters, and as the eXecu-
tive heads alone can know with
any degree OF certainty how a
strike in one locality will affect
workingmen in other localities no impor-
taut action should be taken by local as
semblies without the sanction OF the En-
ecutive Board. When great strike is
authorized the order is bound TO assist
the strikers with money. and in every
other legitimate way that it can. Ii
Knights strike, therefore, without good
reasons, and without authority, there is
bound to be dissatisfaction, sooner or
later, among those who are taxed to sup
port strikers.
The great Chicago strike was, it seems,
uuauthor Zed. When the attempt was
made in May to inaugurate the eight-hOur
system, Mr.. Powderly objected because
he did not believe the time was auspi-
cious tor a movement of that kind, and,
according to his dispatch to the Chicago
strikers on Thursday, his opinion with
regard to the matter has undergone no
change.
The Chicago strikers acted without au-
thority, and, hence, they haven't the sym.
pathy of the knights of Labor throughout
the country. OF course certain local as
sembies have done what they could to
sustain them when the opportunity has
presented itself, but there has been no
marked exhibition of sympathy with
them. The feeling, apparently, has been
that, having acted without authority, they
must take care of themselves.
If the knights have an executive board
they ought certainly to rely upon it, and
it may be that little more experience of
the kind they have had in several con-
spicuous instances will induce them to
do so.

AN EDITORS ESCAPE.

A Desperate Attempt to Murder a Mon
tana Editor Results Disastrously to the
Would-be Assassin,
BUTTE, NJ. T., June 24.-At five O'Clock
last evening desperate attempt was
made to assassinate c. o. Ziegenfuss, ed
itor of the Miner The would-be MUIR
derer is carpenter named Miller, whose
daughter eloped a few days ago from An
aconda with young fellow named Har-
rington. Miller pursued the couple to
this city and found them occupying an
apartment together. He compelled Har-
rington to marry the girl and then went
around town boasting of what he had
done. N ext mornings Hiner contained
a brief account of the affair, and in the
afternoon Miller visited the newspaper
office and demanded retraction Editor
Zeigenfuss told him he would investigate
the matter, and publish a retracton if
one was deserved. Miller went away ap-
parently notified, but returned later in
an intoxicated condition and made a
nuisance of himself generally. Last
evening he returned again and re-
quested a private interview with the
editor, who conducted him to the edi-
torial room upstairs, and when the head
of the stairs was reached Miller suddenly
grasped Ziegenfuss with one hand, and,
drawing pistol with the other, fired at
his head. The ball whistled past its tar.
get and Ziegenfuss and his assailant
rolled down the stairs together. In the
descent the pistol was dropped, and,
after being severely pummeled by an at
tache of the business office, Miller was
given into the custody of an officer.
The charge of attempt to kill will be
entered against him to-day. Mr.. Ziegen-
fuss was not injured in the least by his
rough experience, and numerous friends
are congratulating him upon his narrow
escape. Public feeling is strongly
against Miller.

a FORMIDABLE RIVAL.

Supply to Europe-Immense Shipments
which Must Affect the Home Market for
Breadstuffs.
ST.. LOUIS, June 23.-Ex-Governor E.
O. Stanard received to-day from Bruce &
| Wilson, importers of Glasgow, Scotland,
a letter on the grain trade situation IN the
| United Kingdom, of which the following
are the most important extracts:
During the past week the depression has
rather increased than otherwise in the graln
trade, and there are some very weak points
in the situation. In the hrst place, the
arrivals of breadstuffs have been very
heavy and in excess OF re4ulreinff nus;
ali engaged in the trade, India dis
patched last week $4,000 quarters OF wheat.
The ability of our Eastern colony TO
ship such an enormous quantlty at
current values will tend to reyoutionize the
trade and for mer experience is quite value
less in the altered circumstances OF the
trade 1t may occur that these shipments
may not be repeated Doubtless large par
GELS of Indian wheat were sold April or May
shipments, and the necessity or 1ulhlllng
these contracts before their term expired

quarters since this week, anu Is no" -,-ip,oVo

1t seems to us that the cost insurance anu
freight business will be very limited tor
some time to come, as the losses the trade
here and elsewhere have sustained Will deter

Bruce & Wilson stand high in business
circles and have the reputation OF being
shrewd, far-seeing business men and close
observers, so that their opinion carries
weight The letter was read by a number
of gentlemen on the floor and the outlook
.As pronounced dscoura@ing. There
has been considerable hooting at India
wheat and statements that it would prove
a formidable rival to American wheat, but
that it is becoming an unpleasant
factor is acknowledged on all hands.
1t is said by some dealers that Indian
wheat cannot prove formidable because
the grade of it is so much lower than
that of American wheat, but this is dis
proved to some extent By the statement
of London millers, who pronounce 1t

THE GHOST OF THE GARRETT.

Only a dusty cradle, worn and carved with
years,
Yet OH how Oft it's dust has been washed on
with tears!
Often a mothers football sounds on the
creak lng stair,
often the sound Of a mothers voice steals
through the garnet bare,
Singing an old-tme lullaby that she sang in
the long ago,
When baby lay in her cradle, and she rocked
her to and fro.
Often the dusty cradle is drawn from the
corners gloom,
And the sound Of its rafting rockers sweeps
through the desolate room;
And then the weary singer, bowed down by
sorrows hand,
Sleeps and dreams of the far away" of baby
in heavens land.
Only the ghost of the garrett but it lives in
her heart Away,
And the sound of a baby's cooling dwells in
her soul for aye.
Only an old-time song, yet its singing always
brings
The keenest of all keen anguish, as it's mel
ody Heavenward rings.
Only the little cradle, or q curl of golden
hair
Yet sweeter far than the present is the
mem'ry shrined there.
The song. with its loving cadence; the gar.
ret dusty and bare;
The golden curl, the cooling voice-all. all 10
mem'ry dear.

A Powder and Dynamite Factory Goes
Skyward-Rumors of Serious Loss of Life.
PHILADELPHIA, June PA special to
the Telegraph from Morristown, N. j.,
states that the Forsite Powder and Dyna-
mite Company's works near Hopatcong
were blown up Monday night by a ter
rife explosion, which shook the coun-
try for miles around. People thought
there was an earthquake, and
when the sky in the direction
of Lake Hopatcong became lurid short
time later, it was conjectured the hotel

ing. The matter was much thought of
by country people in the vicinity until
yesterday when farmer being near the
works came through and reported that
the Forsite works had blown up and that
several men were killed.
The works are in a secluded spot, and
all facts concerning them are kept as Sc
cret and quiet as possible by the owners,
owing to the general dislike of having
such dangerous business carried on
anywhere near community. 1t is i'm
possible at present to verify the loss of
life.

ShotweIlS Shot.

OMAHA, Neb., June &c. L. Bradley,
colored gambler, was shot and prob
ably fatally wounded by one Thomas
Shotwell, five miles from Crawford,
Northern Nebraska, yesterday. Bradley
was lying asleep en- his cot when Shot
well shot him in the back of the head,
tearing off the outer plate of the skull.
Shotwell then fired into his back as he
rose up, and next drove bullet through
his eye, another bullet into his forehead
and still another into his right arm.
Shotwell mounted horse and escaped
to the hills. Bradley never lost con-
seriousness and is still alive. He carries
more wounds than any man in the North
west. He was sergeant in C Troop,
Ninth cavalry, until few months ago,
when he became professional gambler.
Bradley has been in eight shooting
scrapes, and has always been hit.

ing the mining industry of Honduras:
sThe gold and silver mines of Honduras
consist of nearly two thousand known
veins, besides the placer gold Washings
north of the Cordilleras. The alluvial
deposits forming the latter average thirty
feet in depth and cover hundreds OF
square miles, and are all well watered
and heavily timbered. Experts pro-
nounce the placer country, and par
ticularly in the department of Alancho,
equal to the best California hydraulic
washings, and it will pay handsome
profits on large investments. Gold
quartz veins abound ON the north and
south coasts, while between these lies
the great silver belt of the country,
which is over fifty miles wide and ex-
tends across the country,
