secured to a petition to congress asking
for the donation of land in some western

their transportation. The barbecue feature
was one that appealed to the appetite of
the average colored person and he signed
the petition right along in order to get a

KILLED BY PROXY.
A Man Supposed to be Dead and
Buried Turns up Alive.
From the New York Herald.


Patrick Grogan, who had been
employed for a number of years in
the capacity OF engineer in the
Delaware state almhouse, was re-
ported killed by the explosion of a
boiler in that institution. His two
nephews, George and James Gro
gan, who live at No. 3031 Ludlow
street, Philadelphia, and other
friends Of the dead man we're tele-
graphed for, and all repaired imme-
diately to Newcastle. A coroner
and jury were summoned, ard the
verdict was that Patrick Grogsn
came to his death from the effects
of wounds received by the explosion
Off boiler in the state almshouse
of the state OF Delaware.
After the inquest the body was
Immediately taken to the friends
house in Wilmington. An oloy
fashioned Irish wake was held, with
plenty of pipes and tobacco. One
of the most prominent undertakers
in the city was notified to make a
first-class coffin, and spare no ex-
pense in regard to the funeral ar
rangements, as the dead man was
considered wealthy and that it was
always his desire that he should
have a decent burial. The funeral
took place from st. Mary's Catholic
church.
Patrick had property, mostly real
estate, worth $4,000. An admins
traitor was appointed and the prop
erty sold. Just as the administra-
tor was about to distribute the mon
ey among the heirs Patrick turned
up and frightened all his friends
nearly into fits. They took him for
ghost. Patrick explained that he
went to Virginia on a hunting trip
and LETT pauper to run the aims
house engine and provided the
pauper with his own working clothes
to wear in the engine room. 1t was
the pauper who was killed and
mutilated by the explosion, and
whose body was given such splen-
did burial by Patrick's weeping
relatives.

A NEW HOTEL.
Our Citizens Still interested TO Sc.
y, =

Ever since the burning of the
Whitlock House, our citizens have
realized the great loss the town has
sustained and were desirious of see
ing it rebuilt At one time it was
thought that the matter was arrang-
ed and that work would be speedily
commenced, but some discouraging
feature entered into the matter, and
MIR. Whitlock announced to his
friends that he had abandoned the
enterprise. Recently Mr.. Erwin
Maxwell, formerly of Cincinnati,
who conducted the Palace Hotel
there, and who has an elegant home
here, felt that another effort ought to
be made to build hotel here. He
made a proposition to donate site
for the building, superintend it's
construction and run it when COM
peted, if our people would build the
hotel. There was no action taken.
On last Saturday afternoon he invit
ed party Of gentlemen to his resi-
dence to take the matter again un-
der consideration. Among those
were Mayor T. w. Glover, M. G.
Whitlock, J. R. Winters, B. r.
|Legg, James Paige &iigge1; 6: NJ: Crosby,
Mr.. Day, w. s. Cheney, W. S. N.
Neal and Will Maxwell. B. R.
Legg was called to the chair and W.
S. N. Neal requested to actas score
tary. Mr.. Erwin Maxwell made two
propositions, one to donate lot for
the hotel, be would agree to superin-
tend its construction and lease it,
provided our citizens would raise
$50, 600 to run five years without in
terest, and then bond it for $50, 900.
The hotel to consist of 100 rooms.
The other proposition was to donate
the lot to syndicate, who should
build the new hotel and he run the
hotel for $1,000 year less than he
had ever run any hotel. He paid
glowing and deserved tribute to MIR.
Whitlock, and said that all he was
interested in was getting hotel in
Marietta and that he would be will
ing to do anything in Mr.. Whitlock's
favor.
Mr.. Whitlock mentioned that a
party had made proposition some
time ago to build a hundred room
hotel here if the citizens would do
nate ten thousand dollars. This
seemed to take with those present,
and at once $3.50 was subscribed
by the few present as a donation.
Mr.. Whitlock said he didn't know
whether the party was still in the
same notion, and with view of af-
fording time for consultation, the
meeting adjourned to meet Tues
day afternoon at the Elmwood Hotel.
Before adjourning Mr.. Maxwell
invited the party into his dining
room were refreshments were served
in that hospitable style so character
istic of Mr.. Maxwell. AS an enter
tainer and genial gentleman, Mr..
Maxwell has but few equals.
Mr.. Maxwell has an elegant home,
handsomely furnished, and the site
is one of the most commanding in
the city. The lot he proposes to
donate to any one who will build a
hotel here is beautiful one, Just
suits for the purpose. The grounds
can be beautifed and the place made
one of the most desirable anywhere.
The meeting Tuesday afternoon
was deferred until a later day.

covering. She had scarcely remov-

the scorching pain became too great

let the kettle fall to the floor, the
contents covering the child, which
had crawled, unnoticed, up to where
its mother was standing at the stove.
The little one lived but short

ETIQUETTE.

ETIQUETTE is all right so far as it is in
keeping with common sense and common
politeness and doesn't do away with all nat
uralness. But that straight jacket kind of
etiquette that breaks the back of fellow s
conduct so to speak, in order to conform
him to rules is an abomination. One af
Fiction with it is in tortures of mind and
thinks so continually about the rules Of
etiquitte that he hasn't time to think about
anything else, and hence, when he speaks
he doesn't say anything. True etiquette
is natural politeness, and contributes to
the enjoyment of people wherever observ-
ed but the fraudulent article demanding
the observance of arbitrary rules and pre-
scribing artificial formalities is thing to
De Stunned, unless game of social freeze
out is wanted. If people will always be po-
lite and indulge in the exercise of common
sense, they need not be distressed about
etiquette.

'"The charter, aside from the rea-
sons already advanced, can't hurt
the lease of the road. If this legis-

Western & Atlantic will understand
that, and will make allowance Tor it.
1t won't make cent'sj difference
whether the charter is passed now,
or put of to be passed as soon as the
lease is signed.
Moreover, this road runs from
Atlanta to Knoxville. The Western
q Atlantic goes from Atlanta to
Chattanooga. They go through two
different sections Of country, and the
parallel tracks between here and
Marietta, just twenty miles, is simply
insignificant. They compete for
little more than the local trade be-
tween here and Marietta, but even
if the competition extended along
the entire length the people derive
the benefit and the state loses moth

sighted-the state loses nothing.

build that road from Marietta to
Atlanta and provide terminal tacili-
ties. A corporation comes and asks
to invest 81, 100000 in an enterprise.
Aside from the equity and consist
ency involved, can we refuse ?
There is 81, 100000 in Georgia that
wouldn't have come here. The tax
able values of the state are increased;
the advantages of competition are
secured; new section is developed
and the taxable values greatly in
creased again; Georgia market is
provided for that country; employ

involved, demands the passage of

ATTENTION TO LAND TITLES
GOV. Prince, of New Mexico Refers Is
peeially to Them in His Report.
The Surveyor General Made Titles
Worse in Trying TO Better Them.
4 Few Of His Facts Regarding the Adj
mission Of New Mexico.

WASHINGTON. Gov Prince, Of Mexico,
in his annual report calls special
attention TO the subject of land titles In
reviewing the history of congressional
action in the matter. he SAYS: Matters
We're in q very unsatisfactory condition
when the late surveyor general made them
worse by eudeayoring to msettle the Jew
things that were supposed TO be deter
mined. taking up the cases which
had been decided twenty-five years
ago and without notice to any
one reversing the decision of
the survey or general who heard the case
and declaring the testimony insufficient
and the grant Invalid So long as the
uncertainty regarding titles prevails, no
enc Will buy for improvement and so the
development of the country is constantly
retarded The governor urges the estab-
lshmcnt of a tribunal exclusively for hear
these claims and the settlement Of
titles
The governor answers at some length
the statement made by the persons OPP
posed 10 the admission Of the territory,
especially regarding ilhteraCy He shows
that while the native population is more
or less illilerate IL is not true of a very
large proportion Of the people The ratio
of illiterary has been reduced twenty per
cent during the last five years He makes
am earnest plea for admission into the
union
Upon The subject Of water supply and ir-
rig0tion, the governor says the people feel
that il is as much the business Of the gov
eminent TO render valuable the immense
areas now useless for cultivation as it is to
improve the harhors of rivers While hop
ing for government aid private enterprise
has not been idle, and during the past year
several corporations have been formed for
the purpose of irrigation Cattle raising
has been in a depressed condition through
out the year on account of low prices.
