Gainesville Advocate: We are reliably n
formed that Dudley Lawrence, a white III n
who has been living in this city for some
time, Wednesday ran away and deserted Ii S
young wife and ll-months-old baby. His
wife's nader name was Libby" Bryant,
end the facts, AS we learn them, are as fol

ried Libby Bryant against tGe protest of
his mother, a Mrs Chapman, aud after his
marriage he went North with his wife and
remained until few weeks ago, whom they
returned to Gainesville, and after consd-
cradle unpleasantness, took up their
residence with his mother Wednes-
day Libby accidentally discovered
that Mrs. Chapman was pack
ing up preparatory to leaving
and that she was also packing up Law
rence's clothes in the same trunk with her
own. Libby said nothing about the dis
covery, but cor cludad TO keep a close watch
on future movements of the mother and
son. Wednesday night after supper Law
renee said he had to 60 up town, and told
Libby that If she would 90 with him as far
as Mrs. Stratton's he would call for her on
his way bsck homo. The wife complied
with tho request, and she has not seen Ter

His mother left Wednesday for the North,

MATH OBLIGED.
The Hardest Rain Storm in the Histor
of the Town

MATH, GA, May 25.-One of the most
tremendous rainfalls ever known in this
country occurred here Monday night. 1t
commenced raining about Z O'clock, and for
two hours and half the rain fell In perfect
torrents. The amount of damage done to
the crops cannot be estimated, but it is GER
tainly considerable. Cotton and corn are
washed up, and in some places the fencing
is gone. Roads are almost entirely i'm
passable. But the greatest damage done in
this section was to Mr.. Albert Durden's
mill and TO w. NJ. burden & Bros store.
About thirty feet Of dam just in front Of
the store was carried off and a large hole,
fully six feet deep, was washed in front Of
the store and ono corner of the store Yves
undermined. The mill was saved by almost
a miracle, but the damage is considerable,
amounting to fully $500. The oldest citi-
zens, who ought to know, say that it was q
much more severe rain than the famous
Harrison freshot

A Gigantic Load of Lumber.

The NorthpesterR Lumberman, of recent
date, said When it was announced in
the Lumbe,maa that the barge Wahnapit,e
had carried cargo of 2,1S1 900 feet of
lumber, letters were received asking if it
was not a typographical error. 1t was
thought by many that no boat could carry
such load. For the purpose of showing
the barge on paper, photograph was OBJ
tanned of her when loaded at Duluth The
freight rate to Tonawanda was So IS a
thousand, which footed up TO total of
IS, us 10. The owners of the boat, how
ever, were not satisfied with such record,
and proceeded TO break it by loading at
Duluth 2,409,S00 feet of lumber, which
also went to Tonawanda, and which is
put down as the biggest cargo of lumber
on record. At the latter place the cargo
was unloaded on Saturday afternoon and
Monday forenoon-one working day. 1t
will be readily understood that the money
making capacity of the barge is of the
Jumbo order also. The barge is owned BY
the Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company and
the Emery Lumber Company, and cost
$4,000. She is 275 feet long and 81 feet
beam. The lumber on her was piled %
feet high and she drew IL feet Of water.
Had she been 10 inches wider she could
not have passed through the 500 canal.
The boat was built on the Saginaw river a
year ago last winter, and was designed for
carrying logs from the Georgian bay to
the Saginaw river and Tawas mills. The
Canadian Government, however, increased
the export duty on logs, and the barge was
put into the lumber carrying trade.

ISan Francisco Call
q. L. huntington seated in Third-street
car, accompanied by his Secretary and his
SOD, was the objective point for the admira-
ton of all the passengers who were making
the trip with him. There was a new con-
ductor, much impressed with the dignity of
his position, who was unacquainted with
the railroad magnate, and concluded that
the trio were attaches of Forepaugh's Wild
West Snow. On reaching the corner of
Third street, for he was on an up trip, he
proceeded to collect the fares, fiourishing
the beil-puneh much as though it were a
carving knife or poker.
Arriving opposite G. P, he reached out
for a four-bit piece the millionaire was
lingering, and, on receiving, examined il
closely. The coin was trihe the worse for
wear, but, though smooth and shiny, it
was still good currency. The conductor
did not think so. however. Concluding at
length his extended examination, he re-
marked:
Have you any more like this with
you 2" and he smiled as much as to say,
There's no flies on me-"
Secretary Miles glanced up in surprise,
and said The coin is all right sir'

never heard the august name before. He
and you and his nibs there pointing to
Mr.. Huntington, Jr, who was arrayed in
clothes and hat of the latest fashion, "have
got to shell out good coin or walk"
The situation was decidedly ludicrous,
and the conductor had pulled the bell for
the car to stop. Mr.. Huntington's face
wore broad smile, as he dived into his
pocket and pulled out new dollar. The
conductor played three notes on his bell
punch and withdrew to the front platform,
where he commenced recounting his brill
liant exploit to the driver. His communica-
ton was received with whitening smile,
for the driver said, Small chance you've

ductor in surprise.

port beer, 4.5 per cent; English and

pairing and combining these figures
the reader will discover that we of the
United States are far from being the hard
