The Longest Speech on Record
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Lopg speeches are common. A
Philadelphia lawyer will frequently
extend his remarks through three
or four days. In the Georgia legis'
lature, when the question of ex'
pellirg tAe Eegro members was up,
Aaron Alpeori Bradley spoke four
days. Tue TlchbOme trial brought
DR.. Kenea,ey to the foot with a
speech running through 14O days.
But these speakers did not talk
continuously. AdjOGrnments for
dianer and over night and for Sun
day made their work easy.
TIE longest speech on record Is
pro baby the one made by Mr.. DE
Cos mos, a member Of The leglsIa'
lure of British Colombia, sometime
60. A bill, was pending which,
ii passed, would deprive many
settlers of laDds, aud the temper
of the majority made it certain that
1t would pass. Tue Legislature was
within Gay ard a half Of the
bour of it's iDal adjournment and
the vote was about 10 be taken.
At this junciare De Cosmos rose
to address tue body. 1t was III
O'Clock in The morning, and the
members thought that he would
finish ia an hOGr or two. The
clock struck IL, y, and !, but the
speaker kept right on.
How long would be speak 7 The
mew uers in a spirit of fun omitted
to adjourn for dinner, out De
Cosmos spoke on without a break
At 6 O'Clock be was still on the
floor. He was forced by the
Speaker TO stick o The question,
aud was bot allowed 20 pause ex'
cept to take a drink OF water. The
m ajOrlty decided 10 continue the
Sc ssion through Ibe night, slipping
out IN small parties to eat and
sleep. Sti'l, without ialtei ing, the
orator poured !orth his torrent oi
words. This was the situation at
midnight and also when the morn,
ing sun flooded the hall with the
light of day.
AS the hour hand of the clock
pointed to II the limit prescribed
by law for Tie session had arrived,
and tie Legislature stood adjourned
siue de. At the lasG stoke OF IL
the Urave De Cosmos stopped in
the middle of sentence and fell
falrliug in his seat.
He had spoken, standing on his
Ieet, lwenty-six hours. His eyes
were bieafed and red and his
parched lips were cracked and
running blood. He was nearly
dead, bot lie had prevented the bill
from becoming a law and had
saved the settlers their homes.

A Receipt For a wife.

Harris HolbroOk, college grad
uate Of a week, prospecting around
in harum .scarum fashion to work
off some exuberant sense of free
dom, did not count upon an adj
venture when he ascended the roof
of the old brown church where the
wOrkmen we're chipping and ham
mering and jabbering. He had
climbed up for a view of the build
ings OF tht city aud "the glory OF
them"
He was a goodloOking, compact
ly-built fellow IN a cool linen suit,
as be balanced himself upon the
staging, indolentlv, and exchanged
civil words with the workweu. His
eyes came back from Trinity and
the "New South to his immediate
surroundings. A park and two
tall family hotels bounded three
sides of the church. Directly be-
low him were the roofs and
dwellings with blooming back
yards. The staging extended up
to the brown east wing, which
folded itself against the body of
the church. From his point Of
view he could look into the back
third story window Of the wing,
which had been converted into a
hOmelike boarding house. He had
a leetIng glimpse of airy muslin
draperies, which betOkened a femi.
nine occupant. His curiosity was
excited at once. He could see pic
lures hung low against a delicate
wall paper, a well-filled book case,
and a pale green and salmon car
pet. A writing desk Uttered with
papers stood near the farther win
dow.
He was weaving bit of romance
around the occupant when shape
ly arm and shoulder appeared in
the window next him, and a slim,
white hand which he could have
almost touched drew down the
curtain quickly.
Feeling as if his curiosity had
been rebuked, he turned and walk
ed along the staging slowly to the
rear of the church. AS he retraced
his steps he had another glimpse
of the arm and shoulder clothed IN
cool lavender at the desk, writing,
but he could see nothing of the face
except the tip Of a pink ear, and
brown frizzes, stirring IN the breeze
over her temples. He felt some
thing of the student recklessness
of his sophomore period urging him
to vault into the room from his
perch and apologize afterward tor
the intrusion. He had been invul-
nerable to the smiles of "sweet girl

A Tragedy After the Wedding.

WHEELING, Noy. 2l.-Yester.
day morning Patrick Waters and
Jessie Bates were married at st.
George, Tucker county. This
morning at 8 O'Clock the couple
were taken from the waters OF the
Black Fork of Cheat, at Silas
Ferry, apparently dead. Mrs.
Waters was restored to life after
an hour of unremittiDg elfOct, but
her husband was past all hope. The
couple had conceived the idea OF
making their wedding trip through
the Gland of Canaan as the wild
region Of Tucker county IS known,
and of visiting the great falls OF
the Black Water. one of the most
picturesque spots east OF the
Mississippi River. They came up
to Carrack's Ford, and remained
last night at the house of friend.
This morning they resumed their
journey by attempting to cross the
unfinished railroad bride on the
extension of the West Virginia
Central Railroad across Black
Water.
The only walk was IA single mar
row plank, and when about half
way over Mrs. Waters, who had
Just turned to wave a goOd-by to
friends on the bank, grew dizzy,
lost her balance, and fell from the
bridge, with a shrek. Almost be.
fore she struck the water her hus
band sprang after her, and in an
instant both had been whlrled
away in the fOaming torrent
Black Water is unusually high,
and the current runs at more than
10 miles an hour, the water being
very rough. Half hundred
bridge workmen saw the accident
but were pOweress to attempt the
work of rescue. One man, how
ever, threw down bis tools, and
ran to the ford, a quarter OF Il mile
below, where he plunged into the
river. He was Instantly swept
away, and his life was saved with
difficulty.
Word had meantime been sent
on horseback, to Silas Ferry, and
the boat propelled by ropes was
run out to midstream, where it had
been but few moments when the
couple appeared clasped IN each
others arms, their heads alternately
appearing above the surface and
then disappearing beneath it. AS
they pass ed the boat they were
seized and drawn on board. 1t
was evident that the husband was
dead, but the wife showed FAINT
Signs of life, and was finally re-
stored TO consciousness. 1t is
feared she will loss her reason.

Not to kick up any row,
If de Lawd is gwine to save me,
He will do it anyhow;
HITS no use 10 make a racket,
Er to boiler, er TO cry;
Dat when the ship of Zion
Comes a-sailin' grandly by,
IfPs been "pretesterusted,
And is one OF dc elect,
Dat deyll reach way down and grab me
And den hist me on de deck;
And, dat when gets good started,
Is to keep straight on de way,
Fer I'll never cross de ocean,
If / starts new, every day.
Den de Baptists next, dey gifts me
And dey takes me to de pool,
And dey say to me, "Now, Charity,
Don't you 90 aud be a tool,
You sati'fy your conscience,
And be sure you do what's right
You 20 INTO dat water, child;
Clean under-out er sight;
Den come along and 'mune wild us,
And peace and comfort find.'

And dey puts me wild de moaners

And dey tells me when rs happy,

But turn right loose and shout.

Den some say dat dey wouldn't sin,

And a right smart un EN- couldn't
Not even If they would.

Dat de load was took away A;
And l felt all good and easy
And heerd soft voice say:

But Just look to me instead,
And dough yOur sins be scarlet.
And your skin black as a coal,

this city, because of the failures at
Durham, North Carolina, to-day.
The disaster has astOnishcd the

concern here appears to have had
any anticipation of the affair. This
was the Citizens National Bank
which, two weeks ago, withdrew
their business from the Bank Of
Durham and transferred it to the
First National Bank of that place.
1t Is feared that business interests
