II he acts as preside t, agent and canva Ser
AS we have already shown, the steamboat
business is very valuable ctor in Angus

There is no poubt but that the steam

afford to let the boats go. 1t would be
better to spend 900 year than to let
this line fall in G disuse. But we do not

asIf the merchants and men who are mostly
interested in the p og ess of he city, and
who saved last year fully 100000 py the

Preachers Make Jolly Passengers

From the Macon (Gd.l Telegraph.
One Of the C aches on the outgoing south
ives ern train Tuesday morning was filed
with members Of the South Georgia Con-
ference recently held in Eastman.
Conductor Young was Standing near the
train waiting to shout "all aboard" when
the Telegraph man observed:
"1'hese ministers make rather solemn pas
sengers, do they notN
mot by any means, replied Capt. Young
''they are jolly set In fact, have been
a conductor twenty-three years, and have

TARIFF BILL AMENDMENTS.
Several Offered in the Senate, but All
Rejected.

Several On6red in the Senate but All
Rejected.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Tho Senate at
1910 O'Clock to-day resumed consideration
of the tariff bill, taking it up at paragraph
174. referring to gold leaf.) No amend
ment was offered to that or the following
paragraph, relating to hollow-ware.
Mr.. Reagan called attention to paragraph
176 fixing the duty on lead ore and lead
dross at Il cents per pound, with a proviso
that lead ore containing silver or silver ore
containing lead shall pay duty of IS cents
per pound. He referred to it in connection
with ores from Mexico, and said that the
adoption of the proviso would break up the
smelling establishments in Ell Paso. He
moved to strike out the proviso. The
motion was rejected.
Mr. Reagan then moved to amend by
making the duty on lead ore and lead dross
three-fourths Of cent per pound, instead of
IL cents. That rate, he said, would be
equivalent to 80 per cent. ad valoren. and
considering the weight of the ore, the
amount of waste matter contained in it.
and the fact that it had TO be transported
by railroad to the smelling works, it was q
high rate.
LEAD IN BARS AND PIGS.
The clerk then read paragraph TT, tax
ing lead in pigs and bars 2 cents per pound.
Mr. Vance moved to reduce the rate to IL
cents.
Mr.. Voorhees, then spoke at some length
against the bill ITSELF attacking it in gen
eral and in detail
Mr.. Hawley replied to Mr.. voorhees,, and
the debate took the form of a colloquy be-
tween Messrs. Hawley, Voorhees, and
Vance.
Finally vote was taken on Mr.. Vance's
amendment and it was rejected.
No propositions to amend we're made I'M
til paragraph 1853 was reached, relating to
needles for sewing. darning or knitting.
Mr. Vance moved to strike out the words
twenty-five per cent. ad valorem," and 10
insert the words, free of duty" The mo-
ton was rejected
Mr.. Vest moved to amend paragraph 1914.
relating to type metal, by changing the rate
from | q cents per pound for the lead con-
teined therein to Is per cent. ad valorem.
The motion was rejected by vote of 10
to 81.
ARTICLES NOT SPECIALLY ENUMERATED.
Mr.. Harris moved to amend paragraph
1913, relating to manufactures, articles or
wares not specially enumerated, by adding
proviso that no article should pay higher
rate of duty than 80 per cent. ad valore ~
Mr.. Aldrich, in opposing the amendment,
did not wish it to be assumed that anv
article would pay more than 80 per cent.
but he argued that the adoption Of the pro-
viso would lead to lnextricable confusion
and would increase the cost of collection by
making appraisals necessary.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Allison action
on the amendment was deferred, and sched-
ules d (relating to wood and wooden wares),
and E (relating to sugar., were passed
over informally with a statement
that the paragraphs so laid aside will not
be taken IN before the clio of the bill was
reached. This brought the consideration
of the bill down to sch due F. tobacco,
cigars, ETC.. } when it was laid aside, about
three pages If the bill having been actually

A PRIESTS FATAL CURSE.
Nearly All of Those Who Fell Under the
Curse Have Met Violent Deaths.


Curse Have Met Violent Deaths.
From the Neac York sun.
SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 1.-THE death of ex-
Mayor and City Physician O'Connor of
Holyoke of apoplexy to-day is regarded by
the superstitious Catholics of Springfield as
the sequel to priests curse uttered twenty
years ago. A Catholic priest in Springfield
named Father Dougherty was accused of
the betrayal of a highly connected young
lady. The excitement was great, and the
scandal was brought into the courts.
Father Dougherty was finally forced to
leave the city. One Sunday before
of parishioners assembled at the
church doors, and when Father
Dougherty tried to enter the church to say
mass he was thrown down the steps. Pick
ing himself up, the priest faced the angry
mob and bitterly cursed those who had
turned their hands against him. 1t is re-
markable fact that nearly all of those
cursed by the priest met horrible deaths,
and what is more remarkable still, their
children have met the sane fate as their
parents. Only three of the original forty
accused men are alive today. One of these
is Owen O'Connor of this city. About two
wears ago Mr.. OConuor's youngest on,
DR.. P. j. OConnor, of this city, blew out
his brains IN Worcester; to-day another of
his sons, ex-Mayor and City Physician
OConnor, of Holyoke, died suddenly of
apoplexy.
The unnatural deaths set all the supersti-
tious tongues in Springfield a-wagging, ID
when the news of Mayor O'Connor's death
was brought to this city to-day it was
mentioned as the natural result of the
priests curse. One of the witnesses against
Father Dougherty was a Dr. Swazey. He
was "accursed" with the rest Of the fated
forty, and he met his death a few years ago
by falling through a dry bridge near
Northampton. John Cardiff, who was
one of the foremost prosecutors of the
priest, fell down fl ght Of stairs, breaking
his neck. John Topping, ano her of the
priests prosecutors, nded his life by a fall
of 40 feet in an ice house several years ago.
John Madden, who was worth 100000
a dozen years ago, was under the priestly
ban. and he lost all his wealth and
died practically a pauper in country
town last fall. Michael Burns of Park
street never recovered from the effects of
the "curse." He became a bitter atheist,
and died with the name of Dougherty upon
his lips Edward Rile, an armorer became
a raving maniac while at work at his bench
in the United States armory only last week,
and in his delirium to-day he was heard to
say:
81 am accursed-1 am accursed by Father
Dougherty."
Other persons, whose names cannot be
mentioned for good reasons, have died of
unnatural causes, and the superstitious are
now gossiping about the probable fate of
those who remain.

WILL GO INTO MILLIONS.
A Large Estate in Which q Macol
Lady Is Interested

AdOy Is 1uLSTOSU0Q.
From the Macon (Ga) Telegraph.
A few days ago there appeared in the
Telegraph notice of the death Of Mr.. L.
McMurray, an old respected citizen and
business man of Baltimore 1t was also
stated at the time that he left an estate esti-
mated at that time to be worth S., O00, 600.
to be divided between his wife and two sis.
tiers, one of them being Mrs. Young of
Montgomery, mother of Mrs. G. s. Virgin
of Macon.
1t now transpires that the estate will run
up to considerably more. Mr. McMurray
was fruit packer and a man of consldera-
BILE ingenuity. He invented a number of
machines necessary to his business and was
the originator and owner of several pro-
cesses of fruit canning.
On one occasion the force of men in his
employ struck for some cause and left him.
He went to work Immediately and invented
a certain little machine. There was
peculiar and n cessary way of applying
solder to the lid of a can at a certain time,
SO as to seal it at proper point to keep the
fruit, and this had been done by experts
The little machine did the work better than
the experts, and q boy could run it and
solder five times as many cans as the fastest
expert. Other canning establishments in
all parts of the country caught on
and infringed upon the patent. Mr..
McMurray prosecuted the inftingers,
and, after the usual course, the case
finally reached the United States supreme
court, and there it was decided in his favor
about week ago. The estate is entitled to
recover from each of those infringing upon
the patent 81 81 per 1000 cans as royalty.
1t is calculated that while much of this will
not be recovered, there will be something
like several millions secured, to say nothing
of the future revenue from the same source,
provided the patent does not run out soon.
The friends Of Mr.. Virgin will certainly
congratulate him upon the prospect of such
q handsome Inheritance.

A COLoRED DIVINE
Is hustled Out of the Sleeping Car on |

A few minutes before the Georgia rail-
road train pulled out from the depot Satur-
day evening, we'll dressed man wearing a
flowing set of jet black side whiskers on his
face, entered the sleeper and depositIng q

man, although dressed in the height of
fashion. was col red man.
he rode undisturbed until the train
reached Decatur. Some of the boys living
at Conyers and Covington heard that a
negro was riding in the sleeper, and at once
began making preparations for MS removal.
A young man from Covingtun passed
through two coaches, bending over each
man with whom he was acquainted and
whispered, Niger in the sleeper"
AS the words reached the ears of those to
whom they were addressed, they arose and
followed the first young man iowa d the
sleeper.
When the sleeper was reached there were
about ten young men, led by the young man
from Covington.
The negro looked up as they approached
and gathered about him.
The leader stepped up, and touching the
negro on the shoulder, said:
See here, you must excuse u.s. but YOU
can't ride IN this cur. There's a car for
your sort in the front, and you'll have to go
there"
IAN right. sir" was all the negro said,

spoke to no one, bus seemed wrapped in
dark and gloomy thoughts.
