was nominated through a AIiledgevilla
PAPER recently, and who, it was thought
w"uld make the race, has declined, leaving

A few days ago William Reeves. Young
farmer of Cobb county, came 70 Atlanta in
search of his wife, VINO had left him and
entered house of questionable repute in
tnnt city. Reeves found her and did all
IN his power to get her to return home She
refused TO go with him, and he left her and
returned home. Saturday morning Mrs
Reeves received a telegram from her
brother-in-law stating that ter husband
had shot himself with pistol with suicidal
intent aud was not expected to live. Mrs
Reeves$iid not answer the telegram, and
stated to her friends that she would not 90

Miss Mary Johnson, a teacher in the
fourth grade of the Marietta street school,
at Atlanta, will appear in the City Court
on the first Monday in July as defendant in
prosecution for assault and battery The
prosecutor is R. E. Atkinson, whose little
boy is pupil in Miss Johnson's grade, who
was whipped, he claims, unmercifully by
her on April 10 last. Mr.. Atkinson took
the case of his sons cruel treatment before
the Board of Education and the COMMITTEES
on Grievances, after investigating the case
decided that Miss johnson had not tran
scended her duty in whipping the boy. The
father thinks differently.
There is a man in Talisferro county who
believes heavily in tricks and witchcraft
and that theory is constantly on his mind.
II is said that if anyone cuts green hickory
stick and sets it up at his door while he is
absent he will walk around it and let it re-
main there until he can get some one to
move it for him If a few marks on the
ground have a peculiar look he will shy
around them. All the exorcism seems to
find strong advocate in this parsonage,
yet one might talk with him and not dis
cover it. He is a gentleman that would be
deemed far from such superstition, judging
from his general appearance.
A Griffin gentleman who went to Column
bus on the excursion Thursday was aston
ished by the amount of beer sold there, and
overcome by its excellence, so much better. Z
he said, than Griffin beer. His ponderings
upon the subject made him weary, and he
was fast asleep when the car stopped at Grit
fin. At McDonough he awohe to inquire why
the train stopped SO long, and was Informed
that he was at the other end of the road.
He went to a hotel and asked to be awak-
ened for the morning train In the morn
ing he made a leisurely breakfast and got
to the depot-further off than he thought
in time to see the train leave for Griffin.
He secured horse and buggy and rode to
Hampton and then took the first freight to
Griffin, and when he gott here was entirely
satisfied with Griffin beer.

A Story of Thad. Stevens.
From the Boston Herald


Thaddeus Stevens had two weaknesses
an unconquerable love for poker and a
heart so tender that he would give his last
cent to relieve distress. Between the two
he was usually very 1ar from "flush One
night he had a Pun of luck at cards, came
out winner TO the amount of al even hun
dred, and when his checks were cashed he
received crisp new bill of that denomina-
ton.
Next morning we went to the capitol at
the usual time, and was there waylaid by a
soldiers widow, who had piteous tale of
sorrow and suffering t. relate. Stevens
put his hand in his pocket, fond the 500
bill-it was all he had-and handed IL to the
astonished widow. A fellow member was
standing by who had seen the game the
night before, and knew where the money
came from. Stevens caught his eye, smiled
and, by way of explanation, said: God

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Vest, refer
ring to Sherman's speech yesterday, de-
MED the assertion that the late election
settled the question OF tariff legislation.
He (Vest) was not disheartened by that
result. The question would last as long
as the country endured because it involved
a fundamental difference in the construc-
ton of the constitution aside from the
policies OF the government. If the posi-
ton of the Republican party to-day was
correct UNLIMITED taxation for the pur-
pose of protection) the war would never
cease because it was, in his Judgment, a
subversion Of the principles of govern
ment and its autonomy. Although the
senator from Ohio might be right in stat
ing the election was a triumph of the
protective principle, he absolutely denied
in the most emphatic terms that it settled
the question as to the details of the tariff.
The people had not meant to endorse the
senate substitute. For himself he would
exercise his right to criticize and oppose
every single provision of the substitute
although it should take up the balance of
the session. Vest denied the accuracy of
the statement made by Sherman yesterday
that there was a reduction of 10 per cent
in the metal schedule by tie senate sub
stltute. Sherman reafiirmed his state

The Troublesome Surplus.


WAsuINGTON, Dec. lin the house
to day Allen of Mississippi said he could
find no warrant in the constitution for re-
funding the direct tax.
Seney of Ohio supported the bill, whose
purpose, he said, had been grossly mis-
represented. If the bill passed it would
place each and every state where it stood
in 1861, when the tax was levied.
Mr.. Buckalew of Pennsylvania argued
against the the policy Of taking money
from the national treasury for distribution
among the states and in the name of
Pennsylvania he protested against throw
ing into her treasury the sum of 81, OOO,-
900 to disarrange her well conceived and
well understood financial system and to
test the wisdom and integrity of her legis.
lature.
Grosven)r Of Ohio said the passage of
the bill would put the people of the
country where equity says they ought to
stand. 1t was a step towards the COM
plete reunion Of the hearts OF the people
OF h country, a reunion not enforced by
law, but controlled and promoted by the
wish and purpose of both sections of the
country to do actual Justice toward each
other.
lGnloe OF Tennessee declared the bill was
sustained neither by law nor by precedent,
denounced it as a subterfuge and fraud
and charged that its aim was to perpetu-
ate the power of trusts to exact tribute
from the people by means of a high tariff.
After further debate the committee rose
and the house adjourned.

A Matter of SufTragn

WASHINGTON, Dec. ll.-Chandler pre-
sented in the senate this morning a Pc
t ton praying for an investigation into
t e alleged deprivation of the right to
vote for electors and congressmenin South
Carolina lest month. Tho petition was
signed by ! 900 residents of Zeigler pre-.
cinut, Oraugeburg county, S. C. 1t re-
cites that they eudeavored to comply with
the REGISTRATION law Of the state, but we're
prevented. Then, on the day of election,
they were refused the right to vote. The
letter accompanying the petition, which
Chandler also presented, stated that ?, 263
voters Of O%rangeburg county are thus de-
prlved of exercising the right of franchise.
The names were taken ac the polls as fast
as their owners we're refused the priyi-
lege of depositing the ballots. The Pc
tItion and letter were referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.

CHICAGO. Dec. ia battalion OF
twenty 6remen and over a hundred volun-
teers are at work clearing away the ruins
of last nights explosion. Earnest Cas-
per, one of the three known to be dead,
was working in the cupola at the time the
cupola was lifted almost entire and thrown
a distance of sixty feet upon the south
side of the street. The mutilated form
of Casper is somewhere under the wreck.
John Christensen, the kiln man. is the
second known victim, His body has not
been found. Charles Miller, the engineer,
is also buried under the debris. The pro-
prietor and panager of the mill were on
the ground early this morning, but have
been unable to learn positively the cause
of the explosion. Each thinks the oat
meal dust may have caused it, but the
terrific force is unprecedented if this
theory is accepted. No other reasonable
explanation is offered, however. Plate
glass was shattered and buildings shaken
a mile away. The loss is $50, 900.

Mine Explosion.

DENVER, Nov. ll.-A special from
ConOn City says: An explosion occurred
in mine No. , Of the Garfield coal mine at
$50 last evening, resulting in the instant
death of Henry Wallace, mine foreman,
and Peter Galloway, and fatally wounding
ten or a dozen others. OF these James
Wallace, brother of the foreman, aud
Henry Dood are expected to die at any
moment. The other wounded are Thos.
Shields, Jr., John Murphy, John Tim,
James Troven, John Cashain, Thomas
Cunningham and two men named James
and Jimmison. The recovery OF three of
these are extremely doubtful.
The mine has been on fire since last
Thursday and last night a gang was sent
down to endeavor to %extinguish it. The
men had been at work about three hours
and had the fire under control when the
gas ignited in some unknown manner and
an explosion followed causing much
damage to the mine and with terrible
result to the men.

BLOWN UP.
Explosion at a MIL.

CHICAGO, Dec. ll,-ShortlY before 2
O'Clock yesterday morning an explosion
took place in divers oatmeal mills. a
three story brick building on Halsted
street, heal Fulton. The mill was sur
rounded by a number of frame buildings
and the roof of the mill was raised in the
air and fell upon several of the buildings,
crushing them. No lives are known to
have been lost, however, outside of the
night force employed in the mill. OF
these Chas. Miller, engineer, John Smith
and Earnest Castor, millers, are known to
be in the ruins. John Holmes, another
miller. was blown out of the second story
into the street and picked up fatally
injured.
The fire which ensued lasted an hour.
The greatest damage next to the building
itself will be in the destruction of window
glass in the vicinity. The entire fronts of
buildings for blocks on either side of the
mills are cracked and the windows
broken. A rough estimate places the loss
at 800. 900.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. ll.-There has
been an engagement between the state
steamer Governor McLane and a fleet
Of oyster dredgers in Chester river. Two
dredger boats were sunk and another
taken. One of the crew on the steamer
McLane was wounded. This is the first
fight between the state fishing force and
the dredgers since the steamers have been
provided with cannon. Capt. Howard tel,

steamer being riddled with balls. Capt.
Howard requested that help be sent at

Locker, was sent Immediately to his aid.
The McLane carries a twelve pound

BALTIMORE. Dec. ll.-Last night 3
fight at the mouth of Chat,r river m y
have resulted In considerable loss of lite
as Peter Mullen, cook on board the
schooner Julia A. Jones, says he was the
only man out of a crew of eleven to es-
cape. The state vessels were holly at
tackled by the dredgers, who we're heavily
armed with repeating rifles and did not
return the fire until compelled to. The
steamer McLane was thoroughly riddled
with bullets and Capt. Howard deter
mined to resort to extreme measures.
Backing the steamer off from the fleet OF
seven dredgers, which were tied together,
he singled out the Julia A. Jones and
putting on a full head of steam he made
directly for her stern, striking her fairly,
and the schooner sank almost instantly.
Mullen escaped by climbing up the steam
er's anchor chain. but says the rest of the
crew were in the forepeak and could not
have gotten out.
AS soon as the McLane got cleared
from the wreck she was again backed off
and again headed for the feet, striking
the schooner j. G. Maloney squarely in
the stern. She at once commence to
sink, and the remainder of the feet got
away as fast as possible. Some o! the
crew of the Maloney escaped by climbing
on board the McLane, aud as each one
came aboard he was put in the hold,
while a man named Coleman and a negro
named Bramble of the crew of the Malo.
ney are believed to have been drowned,
as they were not seen after the vessels
were struck. The large feet OF dredgers
is reported to be on unlawful ground to
night. and it is mt unlikely there will be
another fight before morning.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ll.-Orders were

the United States steamers Galena and
Yantic to sail from New York to morrow
for Port au Prince, Hayti, to enforce the
demand oil this government for the re.
lease of the American steamer HaytIen
Republic. They will sail in company and
be under command of Rear Admiral
Luce. The owner of the Haytien Repub-
lie, by special permission OF the secretary
of the navy, will be a passenger on the
Galena. 1t is therefore expected the
vessel will be restored to the firm as soon
as it gets into possession of the naval
officers Secretary Whitney declined to
talk about the Haytien troubles on the
ground that there is nothing to add to
what had already appeared in the news

BERLIN, Dec. lin the reichstag to
day tho bill for the erection of a national
monument to William I. passed its second
reading. The socialist members had the
bad taste and want of tact to vote against
the bill. The socialists attempted another
street demonstration Sunday. Alter at.
tempting to hold a meeting on the rights
of women, which was dissolved by the
police, the crowd traversed Leipezeiger
strasse into Wilhelm strasse and proceeded
toward Inter den Linden singing the
"Workmen's Marselaise." The police
finally dispersed the crowd and made
several arrests. The emperor directed
the attention of the chief of police to
these demonstrations, which are made
within hearing distance of official resi-.
dences and the police are ordered to take
vigorous measures to suppress them.
