shot a concave ball Of 100 pounds. The
Government lost in the destruction of
property about 5000 by the burstin of
the gun. Ensign Robert Dashiell. one
of the officers who made the test, said
the experiment proves that Bessemer

it has not the elasticity nor the tensile
strength. The gun exploded had a
pressure Of IA ]. 10 tons to the square

NO BLOOD ON THE MOON.

The Gentlemen from Emanuel and
and Ware are Friends Once More.
After the house adjourned at Atlanta
Saturday groups of members could be seen
fiocking around the desks of Messrs Her
rington and Snelson, the heroes of the de-
bate on the confederate soldier pension bill
Their object was to bring about recon
Citation between these two gentlemen.
When approached by their friends both
declared that they entertained no hard feel
ings towards each other, but each thought
the other did.
1t was true that il the heated passion of
debate they had applied such words as
gopher Ass, etc, to each other. But that
was all over, and there was no use in keep
ing up any uukind relations.
Mr.. Spelson sat in his seat it a thoughtful
ance. Mr.. Harrington sat on the opposite
side and was preparing to depart from the
hall.
81 made the first use of harsh language, 4"
said he to the crowd gathered around him,
"and will make the first advance toward
an apology"
In a few seconds, accompanied by Mr..
Macarthur of Montgomery, he was stand
ing in front of the seat Of Mr.. Snelson, who
held out his hand and said:
Lets make up"
sA"An right" replied the gentleman from
Emanuel.
And the two gentlemen who few hours
before had hurled burning epithets at each
other grasped each others hand and were
again friends.
And the blood was all washed from the
moon.

A DRUMMER ON THE RUN.

On Friday of last week young drum

nah steam bakery, struck Sumner, and
after finishing his work for the day, having
learned that a certain young lady was
visiting at Meaderville, expressed his
determination Of visiting her in the evening,
and made his arrangements to that end
Whereupon some of our boys, who are ever
ready for a little fun, began to canvass
about among themselves how they could
get it at the expense of the young drummer
Finally, one of the boys suggested that
they play the ghost trick on him.
The suggestion was accepted and at once
preparations began. A paper candy box
was procured, in the lid of which eyes, nose
and mouth were cut out and thin piece of
red paper pasted over the face. The box
was then fastened to a long handled broom,
with a stick placed crossways to represent
arms. and the ghost was then clad in a long
white shirt A lighted piece of candle was
then placed inside the box and the spook
was declared ready for the scare.
- The boys then proceeded to the Meader-
vile end of the long railway trestle, under
which they secreted themselves to await
the coming of the young drummer, who
soon put in an appearance, and the boys
say Wdlkeu ike lie ndu Spent u HlOSt ENJOY
able evening" and when he had approached
within few feet of the trestle, the ghost
was run up between the ties right in front
of him, and brought the young man to a
very sudden halt, and as he did SO the ghost
was run up to its full hight.
The young drummer gazed at the hideous
thing for moment, and exclaimed: Hay
Hay, there" and wheeling round took to his
heels at 2:40 gait.
The boys say that before they could get
from under the trestle on the road he had
made a distance of 200 yards toward
Meaderville, and they say that they
are satisfied that he hired Uncle Charles
Cooper, the Waterman at Price & Co. S
mill, to pilot him back to Sumner, where
ne arrived an hour ard half later.

LOOKING AFTER THE MARKET.
How Clerk Maddox Earns His Salary
The Market Fees

How Clerk Maddox Earns His Salary
The Market Fees.
The clerk Of the market earns his salary
if any city officer does. While the ordi-
nance requires that he shall be at the
market at daylight, Clerk Maddox says that
he gets down at o'clock every morning to
enable the green grocers to get their
marketing from the dealers. There are
over thirty green grocers who depend en-
the early market for fresh supplies, and it
is great accommodation to them to get
their marketing early so they can open their
groceries for their early morning trade.
The duties of the clerk of the market
keep him busy from o'clock in the morn
ing until 10 o'clock, and on Saturdays he is
in his Office from 2 p. m. to O'Clock at
night. lie has the morning stall rents to
collect, the collections for the carts outside,
stall keepers come into his Office now and
then for change, or to make complaints, or
to have hogs or beef weighed. Last Satur-
day week he weighed 12s hogs, and at 2
O'Clock last Saturday, while chatting to a
MORNING NEWS reporter he weighed his
ninety-second hog for the day.
The market ordinance providing fees for
weights and for selling at the stalls is not
rigidly lived up to, but by common consent
smaller fees are collected in many instances,
anu Gtle clerk OF bn6 market is allowed q
great deal of latitude in dealing with those
who sell goods in the market. A cripple
is permitted to use an unoccupied stall for
the sale of small wares, W lie in other in
stances poor women are not t'xed beyond
their ability for market privileges. Most
of the stalls are rented by the year at prices
ranging from $50 to SIS high as S135 Poul-
try and fish dealers pay So per week. In
addition to this, under the ordinance, a
small fee is permit ed to be charged daily,
but the fish dealers refused to pay it. Under
instructions from the market committee of
council they were put on the information
docket, but the mayor, when the cases came
on to be heard decided that he had no juris-
diction, but the council should act first
The matter was referred to the committee
on market, which has been nursing it for a
year or more.
Every country cart coming to market
with produce pays % cents per load in the
way of market fees, and il the load is a
small one bat 10 cents is demanded. Carts
ranging along Congress and st. Julian
streets, which supply nucksters with market
ing, are charged 10 cents ecah, which is will
ingly paid, tut there are some fees which
are so manifestly out Of proportion that no
effort is made to collect them, such as the
extra fees on every gallon of oysters, on
single strings of fish, etc., the clerk of the
market satisfying himself with weekly
rents of stalls which range from so cents to
50 per week. The ordinance governing the
market, Mr.. Maddox says, is in & badly Grip
pied condition, and be thinks it ought to be
amended to conform to the rules which are
now observed

The House might accept an amendment
If the depth were reduced from % to 26
feet Gen. Casey and discussed that plan.
He says that two-thirds of the feet desired
can be obtained, probably, at cost of less
than one-half the amount estimated for the
9 feet. He says the heaviest outlay would
be in getting the last two feet; and another
army officer present at the interview, told
me he thinks the last two feet would cost
about 81. 100000.
LII those gentlemen do not come here and
persuade the committee to appropriate for
% feet of water, or if Gov. Brown cannot
make an amendment in the Senate stick, it
seems to me that the most feasible plan is
to have Lieut.. Carter forward to the chief
of engineers an estimate for 26 feet. SO he
can send it in, or it can be used by some one
competent to use it, either before the COM
mittee or in the House.

ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.
Dakota Citizens Anxious That Two
States Shall be Formed.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 16-The movement to-
ward statehood for Dakota assumes new
phases almost daily. One of the recent de :
velopments was the call for convention of
the democrats of the southern portion of
the territory to advance the interests of the
new state, and that has been followed by a
similar suggestion for the remainder of tn 9
territory. The question of division has ap-
parently been settled so far as the people of
the territory are concerned, and it simply
remains for them to hasten their admission
into the Union. Letters to prominent
Dakotians give little hope of the passage of
bill by the present congress, but S. S.
Cox writes that he believes that sufficient
number Of democrats IN ~ vote for division
to give it a majority in the House.
At the proposed mass convention of
Northern Dakota people it is desired to have
addresses from Congressman Cox of New
York, Mcdonald of Minnesota, and others.
The people are beginning to realize that if
they want statehood they must work for it.
They see the prize and are going to do their
full share toward securing it, Agitation
meetings are being planned for all over the
territory to follow up the work already
done in that line So thoroughly are the
people converted to the idea of double
statehood that men, women and children
are uniting their efforts for the same OBJ
ject.
For the most part the feeling has been
strong for the retention of the name "Da-
kota" for both states, owing to its CONNER
cial value. 1t is claimed that Dakota
wheat is famous, and to take another name
for either part of the territory would be
giving away a name to which it was en-
titled. On the other hand the people are
sensitive about the elm tie, and calling at
teltion TO it by having North" and South"
Dakota does not meet with the greatest
satisfaction, 50 that sentiment against
these names is slowly growing. Whether it
will be called ''North Dakota," or "Pem-
bina,n or Lincoln" the people Of the
northern part of the present territory of
Dakota feel assured of final admission to
the Union. which they consider their right
because of their population, natural wealth
and productions, and they are fighting for it
