OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
A Few Questions Asked "a Few Gentlemen on

a rev Questions Asked II Few Gentlemen on
the Subject.
Who will be the next governor of Georgia?
Why, John b. Gordon, of course.
No--after Gordon has served his second
term?
That is the question which was asked few
gentlemen from various parts of the state
Wednesday,
Colonel A. o. Bacon was button-holed.
With far-away look in his fine blue eyes
he softly murmured:
"It's too far off even to think about"
Hon. Patrick Walsh was walking slowly
down from the capitol with his hands clasped
behind him and his massive head slightly
bowed
The question seemed to startle him for
moment but quickly recovering his equilib-
rum he smiled, and said
II haven't the slightest idea"
Colonel Rufus f.. Lester was talking gaily
with par y of friends in front of the Kimball.
He was tackled.
He suddenly became thoughtful and slowly
remarked:
81 couldn't tell if my life depended on it.
haven't thought of the question"
Senator ID. w. Dean was asked his opinion.
well, of course it is hard to tell but good
many people up in the seventh district are talk
ing about Judson Clements. Why wouldn't
he make good governor?"
Hon. J. ". Roberts quickly answered:
CIV j. Northen is one of the abest and
best men in Georgia. He is very strong with
the tarmers-is pre-eminenty a man of the
people. L don't think that you could please
the people better down our way than by put
ting him in the gubernatorial chair
Hon. Henry Richardson was ready with an
answer. "Hon. James Blount," said he, la
conically.
Captain Bob Falligant was in one of his hap
piest moods
LET me see. There's Rufus E. Lester, sand
General Alexander Il. Lawton. either of whom
would make splendid governor. But hold
on-William W. Gordon-that's the man.
What glorious governor Gordon would make.
He is young, able, enterprising, and there is
no better financier i'll the state. He will be
our next governor. Whynot"
Hon. A. w Fite said: cts mighty hard to tell.
But say now, do you know that the people up
our way think that there is frst-class guberna-
torial timber in Judge James Brown and Hon.
Judson Clements. / believe that either one of
these splendid men would fill the bill with
distinguished ability, and l am sure that
multitude of Georgians would be happy to
vote for either one of them
Hon. Daniel w Rountree was inclined to
think that Congressman Turner would make
number one governor, but stated that the peo-
pie of the second district would be charmed to
see either Crisp, Blount or Turner in the new
capitol

Death of James TrImble,

James Trimble, formerly a well-knowu
aid distinguished citizen of Cecil county,
where the first sixty years of his life were
spent, died at the residence of his niece,
i'll Hammorton, Chester county, Pa, on
the 25th inst, aged ninety years. The
Baltimore AmericaR of Wednesday con-
tanned the following: Mr.. Trimbles
mother was a great grandniece of Daniel
Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, the
inimitabe story that has charmed the
hearts and captlvated the imaginations of
the juvenile readers of English literature
for more than century and a half, and
will continue to do SO as long as the En-
glish language lis spoken.
Mr.. Trimble was born on his fathers
farm, neal the village of Brick Meeting
House, and continued to reside there
until about thirty years ago, when he
removed to New Castle county, Delaware,
and subsequently to Chester county, Pa.
He was a descendant Of Elizabeth Max
we'll, the niece of Daniel Defoe, who ran
away from her home in London at the age
of eighteen, because her parents refused
their consent to her marriage with the
man of her choice. Her uncle, Daniel
Defoe, was concealed in her mothers
house in London, where he had taken
refuge from the officers of the law, who
were bitterly prosecuting him on account
of his strict adherence to the doctrines
of the Quakers, of which scot he was a
of mischief, and annoyed him greatly by
disarranging the furniture and misplacing
his manuscript in the little back room

Special Tours to CressOn.

In accordance with its annual custom
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company an
nounces a series of three personally con-
Quoted pleasure tours to Cresson and
the Alleghanies. The dates are fixed for
September LIST, 9th, and 18th, and the
return coupon will be good for ten days
for tie first two, and until the Goth for
the last. 1t is hardly necessary to say
aught of the attractiveness of Cresson
1t is we'll known as one of the most de-
lightful mountain resorts in the land, set
in the midst of some of the most beauti-
full of American scenery. Excursion
tickets, including a days board at the
famous Mountain house, will be sold
from Philadelphia at $500, and at cor
respondingly low rates from all principal
stations east of Harrisburg. The party,
IN charge of the Tourist Agent and
Chaperon, will leave Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, at II 80 a. m. on the dates
mentioned. Tickets sold from other
stations will be good on any regular train
OF the date of issue. arriving in Phila-
delphia in time to connect with this train.
The number of each party wi IL be limited.

Brought From PENNSYLVANIA.

Sheriff Samuel Johnson, arrived here
on the midnight train Wednesday having
in custody Cyrus Whitman a young
white man, of less than 30 years who is
charged with stealing the chickens of
Walter ID. Irwin. The alleged robbery
was on the night of August 10th. Mr..
Irwin claims to have recognized Whit
mar as he drove off with the chickens in
his wagon. He also claims to have track
ed the team TO Whitmar's place in Ches-
ter county by the foot of the accused's
horse being smaller than the other, and
identified chickens in Whitmar's corn
crib as belonging to him, Qrwin).
Whitman was arrested in Chester
county and lodged in Jail at West Chester.
States attorney Evans secured a requsi.
ton from Governor jackson on Governor
Beaver and appointed Sheriff johnson to
serve it. The sheriff left for Harrisburg
on Monday morning.
Gov. Beaver was Inclined not to give
up the prisoner, talking of the trivial
offence, &c. He telegraphed to the sheriff
of Chester county for information regard
ing Whitman, but receiving no answer,
gave Sheriff johnson necessary papers
after "a hours delay. Governor Beavers
action in this case is in marked contrast
with that of the Maryland authorities
recently IN the Cruikshank case. The
Pennsylvania officers should aid and not
deter the Maryland authorities in en-
deavoring to break up the gang of thieves
that inhablt their state and raid on
Maryland farmers. Whitman is the son
of a wealthy citizen of Lancaster county
who placed him in possession of fine
farm in Chester county. He has not
been prospecting however, and the cause
is said to be fondness for strong drink.

Mr.. Benjamin F. Kirk died at his resi-
dence in College Green, this county, on
Thursday night. He was born April 10th,
1916, being consequently in his 73d year.
Mr.. Kirk was native of Cecil county,
and resided in it all his life. He had kept
store i'll College Green for the past forty
years.
Mr.. Kirk was the son of Allan Kirk
and Martha Mccullough Kirk He was
married in 1S47 to Elizabeth Crothers,
sister of County Commissioner James c.
Crothers. She with six children, three
sons and three daughters, survive him.
Of the sons, Cassius F. is we'll known

where her uncle whiled away the dreary
months of his confinement by writing
the world-renowned history of Robinson
Crusoe. which there is reason to believe
was suggested to him by his own seclu.
sion from the world.
Elizabeth Maxwell seems TO have been
in many respects much like her uncle
Defoe, and to have partaken of his char
acteristic traits of iirmness and acquisi-
tiveness, which in some cases have been
transmitted to her descendants, for she
secured passage across the ocean as
redemptioner, and was sold in order to
pay her passage when she arrived in
Philadelphia. She was bought by Andrew
Job, resident of Nottingham. then
under the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania,
whose son, Andrew Job, few years
afterwards married her.
James Trimble had two chairs used by
Daniel Dofoe in his study in his sisters
house in London when he was engaged
in writing the story of "Crusoe." Ooe
of them he gave to the Delaware Histor-
ical Society many years ago. The other
one he intended to bequeath, and pro-
badly did bequeath, to the Pennsylvania
Historical Society.
James Trimble was passiouately fond
of flowers, and was one of the best botan-
lists in Cecil county, being able to name
and classify the native flora with accu-
racy and precision. He was leading
member of the Society of Friends, which
worshipped in the Brick Meeting House,
and being fond of historical research,
was frequently consulted upon historical
subjects connected with the Friends,
meeting at that place, of which he was
the CLERK ior many years. He was the
founder of Rose Bank Cemetery, in the
village of Brick Meeting House, which he
laid out and in which he planted many
of the trees and flowers which adorn and
beautify it. The last thirty years of his
life were spent in the pursuit of his fav-
orite studies, which included the science
of astronomy, with which he became
quite familiar, having at considerable
expense purchased telescope to aid
him in becoming familiar with the ap-
pearance of the heavenly bodies.
His remains were inferred in Longwood
Cemetery, where he some years ago en-
closed lot, with this inscription on the
marble curbing thereof: flames and
Cemetery" The Trimbles of Baltimore
are said to be branch of his family.
