A Learned NeQr O.

Hon. Mark Blandford, of the Georgia
Supreme Court, has son who was re-
Gently engaged in stupsnd0us effort to
master Greek. One uignt the young man
was porting over his lesson, sorely per-
picked and in dire distress. In the room
was a negro boy, whose business around
the place was to curry and feed the
horses, black boots and do similar work.
The negro listened for quite a while to
the walls of the young student and then
said:
"Maree Bob, can read that for you"
"Youm exclaimed the young man.
"You're fool; this is Greek"
Cant help it," replied the negro, 81
can read it,"
The book was handed 10 him, and the
negro read right along. When he had fin
ished Judge Blandford asked:
Nv here in the mischief did you learn to
read Greek ?"
'At the Atlanta University" quietly
responded the negro.
With all his knowledge OF Greek. the
boy was only doer of chores--a much
more commendable occupation, however,
than loahng or stealing.

4 DEMONIAC'S DEED.
How Husband, Cl'aZed by Drink,
Devastated His Homo and
Ruined His Wife.

Devastated His Homo and
Kuined His Wife.
Mr.. f. R. Wilton, living on Twelfth
street, New York, was quite active in the
recent political campaign, so much so that
at one time his strength gave way. In
order to recruit his energies he drank
freely of liquor, although he was not in
the habit OF doing so. Under the effects OF
the liquor he became crazed, went home
to his wife, began abusing her, and when
she protested struck her terrible blow,
from the effects of which. combined with
the fall, she has just died. The agony
which Mr.. Wilton now endures is some
thing fearful, but it is burden he Will be
compelled to carry the rest of his life. He
felt "weak and exhausted" and required
something "stimulatIng." He had no
ENERGY" He was "all tired out" and
needed something "bracing." And there
is just where Mr.. Wilton made his mis-
take. he took the wrong kind of stimu-
liant. de required strengthening, as every
one does at certain times (the body is so
constituted that this is an absolute neces-
slty J, but there is great difference be-
tween strengtheners and intoXicants. A
medicine that arOuses the life, causes good
digestion, makes pure blood and brings
health and vIgor, is a great blessing. An
intoXicant that infiames the blood. shat
ters the nerves, confuses the brain and
ruins the strength, is the greatest OF all
evils.
But good Misunderstanding stmulsnt
is one of the rarest of all things. Tea or
coffee are stimulants, but they ipjure the
nerves. A combination OF nerve building,
matchmaking and blood-producing In
gradients is as rare as it is valuable, but
1t has certainly been discovered and ap-
piled in the wonderful Volina Cordial. 1t
if preparation containing vegetable ele-
ments, which, when taken into the ciTcu-
lstion, builds un the waste elements,
drives out all Impurities and establishes
health and vigor in place of dependency
and disease. Volina Cordial strengthens
and nourishes; liquor inflames the blood.
Volina Cordial gives strength and vigor;
liquor brings weakness and debility.
The almost universal demand for stimu-
lants is appalling. 1t is the source OF
most drunkenness, and the evils th at fol-
low in it's train are enormous. If people
would only keep in vigorous state all
the time, or revive themselves with
healthfuI, not Intoxicating, stimulant
when exhausted, much, if not most, of
the trouble in lite could be avoided. Try
Volina Cordial.

Tho Moen Mystery ia about a Crime, not
Murder, not Arson, not Assault, but
Awful.
ROCKVILLE, CONN, Dec. l4i-A Bos-
ton surgeon recently remarkedin CONVEX
sation that 1t was the general opinion
among the men of his profession in Wor-
cester, Mass, that the great secret which
caused Philip l.. Moen to pay "Doc"
Levi Wilson Of Providence, II l., some
$500 600, during the past twelve years,
related to young girl who disappeared
from her home in Worcester under sus-
picious circumstances about twelve years
ago. Ii was said that the girl d,ed from
an unsuccessful operation, though what
the relations were between this
girl and the great barb-wire
manufacturer have only been insinuated.
This view of the case was borne out to a
certain extent yesterday by an interview
had wi h VIM. Wilson, a brother of the
now famous Levi. The town authorities
credit William with being honest, though
poor, and the man In whom confidence
might be placed. William said yesterday
he had not heard from Levi for long
time. Getting down to the mystery, the
correspondent remarked: ''Folks down

Jay aonla,a Extens,on.

ST LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 4.-The Globe
Democrat this morning says Jay Gould
Is now figuring for an extension of the
Missouri Pacific system which will, when
built, probably put new face on South
western railroad matters and will involve
an entire Encouragement OF the South
western pool The extension proposed is
lrom Hannibal, Mo, in hee-li north
east TO Cnicago, passing through Peoria
The distance IL 300 miles, The facts
learned are rs follows: When tie Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy acquired the
Hannibal & St joe three years ago II was
agreed that the Missouri Pacific aud chi
cago, Burllngton & Qaiucy Dads should
not build into each others territory. In
the past year or more the Quincy people
have not held to the agreement and have
bull; down into what Gould regarded as
his territory, aud ever since doing so
thoy have anticipated retallatory action
Now II Is about coming. II Gould should
carry out his plan, tails extension will, with
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas and the In.

Of great public work for the purpose Of
allowing congress to make show Of
economy
Mr.. Randall OF Pennsylvania denied
that there was any show of economy in
the appropriation. On the 18th OF No
vember there remained unexpended OF the
appropriation for buildings $780,
600, which, however, was In
volyed in pending contracts, but
there was also unexpended $3.50, 900,
against which there was no Indebtedness.
The committee on appropriations had
recommended an appropriation Il $780,
600, making total Of over S530,0o0 which
could be expended within eighteen
months. The motion was agreed to-l00
to 96
On the motion Of Mr.. Grain Of Texas,
an amendment was adopted increasing
from $4,000 to S65,0G0 the appropria-
ton for the public building at Galveston.
An amendment was adopted increasing
from 500, 900 to $40, 900 the appropriation
for the public building at Jacksonville,

Several other changes were made, when
the committee rose and the house adj

PRONOUNCED COwARDLY.

A Man Named Davis AassassinAtes a Cat.
tleman, Bud Carver.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN Antonio, TEX, Dec. 14.-About
three months ago Bud Carver moved in
from Wilson county, thirty miles south.
west of here. He was big, strong man,
thirty years old, with wife and children.
He had been engaged 10 the cattle bust
ness. When the last Wilson county grand
jury got together, a stockman named Tom
Davis, who was one of the jurymen,
asked that Carver be indicted for stealing
cattle. The owner of the cattle testified
to his belief in Carver's innocence and the
indictment fell through. Carver heard of
Davis action and bad blood between the
men ensued. Hostile messages passed
between them and Davis finally stated
that he intended shooting Car
yer the first time he saw
him. At half past O'Clock
tonight Carver rode down Flores street
to the Pckwick saloon, kept by William
Simms. He down at side gate on
Nueces street and went inside; he called
for drink, paid for it, and went outside.
He was STOPPING and unhitching his horse
when a man ran up behind him and shot
him twice through the body. Carver
turned and ran into the bar-room, pur-
sued by his assailant. Two more shots
were fired, neither taking effect. The
pursuer and pursued ran through the
saloon aud went different ways-the
shooter making good his escape The
wounded man ran to the proprietor and,
stating that he had been shot, fell.
His wounds are mortal. Davis was ar
rested and brought before him. Carver
exclaimed, "That is the s. b. that shot
me-" Davis was detained. The wound
ed man cannot live through the night
One ball entered a little below right
shoulder and the other lower down, about
in the center of the back. Carver said
that he met Davis last Sunday; that no
shooting had taken place, and that he
did not think that Davis would make good
his word. 1t Is the universal verdict that
the affair was brutal and cowardly as
Sassination. When arrested, Davis de-
MED all knowledge of the affair.

northwest along the line OF the Fort
Worth & Denver through the counties OF
Wise, Clay, Wichits, Wilbarger, Harde-
man and Chlldress has demonstrated that
Il is capable OF raising as fine crops as
any other portion Of the state.
Ia the northwest corner OF Texas aud
the northeast corner OF New Mexico aud
the southern border of Colorado,
along the line OF the Denver,
Texas T. Gulf, from fifty TO 100
miles north OF the Canadian river, are
immense deposits Of coal, probably as
great in extent aud as line in quality
as any OF the coal deposits Of
the Indian Territory and Missouri, which
will be reached by shorter haul by our
line than by any other route, and will
reach all portions OF Texas by as short 8
haul as any OF the coal supplies now be-
ing brought there, and VIII add very
largely to the traffic Of the road. II by
any possibility the line from Denver
should fail to reach the Canadian and
connect with us, IL would be policy for
this company to extend its line across the
river and nofthward until 1t reached this
coal measure. We believe the Panhandle
offers more inducements and should de-
velop more rapidly than any other por-
ton OF the state Emigration is already
pushing south from Kansas into this ter
ritory, which at present is comparatively
lndpve oped, and the pioneer road INTO
the Panhandle cannot fail to secure many
advantages over succeeding roads by
establishing towns and business centers,
aud furnishing the first avenue OF travel
into new country For further lnforma-
tion, reference is made to detailed re-
ports. MORGAN JONES,
President.
At its conclusion the stockholders
voted on the suggestion TO limit the
bonded Indebtedness to $4,000 per mile,
and majority favering the measure, it
was decided In the Affirmative.
