FELL INTO A WELL.
A Child Has Thrilling Experience and
Narrow Escape From Death


CONVICTION, GA, June Cone day dur
ing the past week Olivia, the 4-year-old
daughter of r. j. Mabry, who lives near
Rocky Plains, in the western portion of our
county, climbed upon the well curb, and, in
trying to get a drink of water, pushed the
bucket in. Losing her balance, the child
followed the bucket, and both fell to the
bottom of the well 40 feet deep. A play
mate, who witnessed the accident, ran and
informed the child's mother AS soon as
Mrs. Mabry reached the well she drew the
bucket TO the top of the water, and for the
first time saw the little one as she rose to
the surface. The mother, with rare presence
OF mind, told the child TO catch hold of the
bucket and support herself until assistance
could be had to ge6 her out She then sent
to the store of her brother-in-law, H. II.
Mabry, one-fourth of a mile distant, for
help. Mr.. Mabry quickly responded. Ar
irving at the well, he found the child still
holding on to the bucket, and asked her if
she could and would get into the bucket and
let him draw her out. The little heroine
replied: "lf you will lower the bucket
little l can" They did so. She placed her
feet IN the bucket, snd, still holding on to
the rope, was safely drawn to the top,
none the worse for her perilous fall, save
slight bruise on the chin. The water was
or 10 feet deep, and little Olivia evidently
went to the bottom, as mud was found on
her feet, which could have come from no
where else, as the well was walled with rock
from the bottom 10 or - feet up toward the
top. With the exception of her scare, the
child was in nowise injured by her fall of
40 feet and her stay of thirty minutes III
the water. Such presence of mind and
courage in one so young is rarely displayed.

ever given in Athens, and the rendition Of
the piano duet, Faust, by thirteen young la
dies, with organ accompaniment, is said,
by many of the visitors to have equalled
that of the famous Gilmore
The graduating programme tonight was
something entirely new The goddess of
flowers. Miss Jane Undertake, of Augusta,
summoned the members of the senior class
before her throne, each representing some
rare flower. After receiving from the
goddess a floral gift. each graduate re-
sponded in few appropriate remarks and

class this year numbers twenty-seven young
ladies, among whom are daughters of many
prominent Georgians. The class was led by

It's Contents Badly Damaged.
NEW YORK, June 6-About $50 o'clock

alarms, and seven or eight special calls,
were sent out, and a large number of
engines and firemen were summoned The
theater is in the Tammany hall building

GRAY HARDLY IN THE RACE.
A Belief That he Will be Withdrawn
This Morning.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.-Gov. Gray's friends
made an effort to-day to take an advantage
of the circumstances which led to an adj
journment OF the convention until to-
morrow. The Indianians have displayed
some of the spirit of the Grant BOG of 1880,
and have been fighting with great despera-
ton and persistency. Even with two-thirds
of The convention apparently against them,
they have managed to keep up an outward
show of hopefulneSS. On Tuesday, when
they were SO completely overshadowed
by the combination of party sentiment
and the political power of the administra-
ton, they only asked for another days time,
and claimed that if balloting could be post
poned for twenty-four hours u surprising
change would come upon the situation.
This afternoon their opportunity came and
they were not slow to improve it.
DELAYING THE PROCEEDINGS
The national committee has all along
eVinced a determination TO have the CON
vention sit until Thursday. The national
committee is under some sort of bargain
with the local committee of arrangements,
and has endeavored TO carry out its part Of
the compact. BY every means under its
control the national committee has sought
TO delay the proceedings and postpone the
conclusion of the conventions labors
The delegates discovered this scheme
and vast majority of them went into the
session to-day determined TO remain there
until the nominations were made ard the
platform adopted They resolutely pre-
vented an early adjournment and insisted
upon listening TO the speeches and renomi-
mating the President Then they were
ready to go on and nominate the vice presi-
dent, and but for delay in the presenting
of the report of the committee on resou-
tons would have quickly named Thurman
by reclamation.
GRAY WOULD HAVE QUIT.
II Is well understood that if the matter
had been forced TO an issue this afternoon.
Gov. Gray's name would not have been pre-
sented by his supporters. The influence of
the national committee was the holding
back the report of the committee on plat
form, and new danger here presented
itself. 1t was that the majority in the
convention would go ahead with the
nomination for vice president, and this
done a majority of delegates would leave
for their homes on the night trains; in fact
many had already arranged 10 depart to-
night, and If nothing but the platform had
remained for the convention TO attend TO
not a quorum could have been expected
at to-morrow's session. No doubt
now exists in anybody's mind

WASHINGTON, June ct is understood
that on Sunday next the Washington Post,
the so-called administration organ, and the
National Republican of this city, the re-
publican organ, will be consolidated. Still
son Hutchins. now the principal owner of
these papers. will retire from the new
paper, except as a stock lolder. The control
of it will be in the hands of William Henry
Smith and few associates. 1t is said that
his son will become the managing editor
and that Mr.. Scott, of the Chicago Herald,
Will come hero as business manager of the
new enterprise. 1t is also stated that the
Evening Critic will become the afternoon
edition Of the new combination.
INDRPENDENT-R
The new paper will be entirely independent
in politics, but as most of the men who will
so into it are republicans, it will be of little
assistance to the democratic party 1t is
said that purely business reasons led to this
change. as Mr.. Hutchlns has long been
anxious to free himself from his newspaper
connections and go abroad to place in use
the new Mergentnaler linotype printing
machines, in which he is interested. 1t is
said that these machines will be used alto
gether in printing the new paper, and
that they will be fought by
the printers union of this city, one of the
largest and strongest unions in the United
